Based on the pathogenesis of “tendon off-position and joint subluxation”， combined with modern ana-tomy and biomechanics， the characteristic manifestations of “tendon off-position” and “joint subluxation” of the knee and the intrinsic connection between them are clarified. Through sorting out the relationship between “tendon off-position and joint subluxation” and knee osteoarthritis （KOA） in modern research， it is believed that “tendon off-position and joint subluxation” is the key mechanism for the occurrence and development of KOA， and accordingly， it is proposed to take the diet as the guide， use bone manipulation for external diagnosis and treatment， use traditional Chinese medicine decoction for internal treatment， and use Daoyin exercise throughout the whole process as the strategy for KOA's comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine treatment to improve the clinical effectiveness.

BACKGROUND:"Tendon off-position"is a disease name included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision,and also a clinical indication of manipulation,acupuncture and other treatments.However,its specific mechanism is still unclear.It is urgent to establish an animal model that can reflect the clinical and pathological characteristics of"tendon off-position,"so as to further study the mechanism of effective clinical treatments. OBJECTIVE:To establish an animal model of"tendon off-position"in rats based on isometric contraction of skeletal muscles,and to explore the changes of skeletal muscle function and morphological phenotype after"tendon off-position." METHODS:Sixty rats were randomly divided into control group,static-loading group and extra loading group,with twenty rats in each group.Rats in the control group were kept normally without treatment.In the latter two groups,the rats were fixed by the self-made static-loading modeling device and a static-loading(the body mass of each rats was applied as the static-loading)was applied to cause sustained isometric contraction of the upper limb muscles.Then,animal models of"tendon off-position"were successfully established.In the extra loading group,50%of the body mass was added to the ankle joint after modeling.The skeletal muscle samples were harvested at 2 and 4 weeks after modeling.The changes of limb grip strength,wet mass of skeletal muscle,and serum levels of creatine kinase-muscle and lactate dehydrogenase A were measured,and the changes of skeletal muscle histomorphology and ultrastructure were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after modeling,the rats in the static-loading group and extra loading group showed significantly decreased grip strength and wet muscle mass,significantly increased serum levels of creatine kinase-muscle and lactate dehydrogenase A,and abnormal muscle fiber morphology and structure accompanied by a large number of deposited collagen fibers.Electron microscopy results showed that the structure of myofibrils was disordered,the Z-line was distorted,and the light and dark boundaries were blurred.At 4 weeks after modeling,the grip strength of the model rats was increased compared with that at 2 weeks,the serum creatine kinase-muscle and lactate dehydrogenase A levels were decreased,and the changes of muscle fiber morphology and ultrastructure were recovered to varying degrees.It is suggested that the rat skeletal muscle injury model based on continuous isometric contraction of skeletal muscle can well reflect the pathological characteristics of"tendon off-position"at 2 weeks,and can be used to study the mechanism of acupuncture and manipulation in the treatment of"tendon off-position."

Objective:To evaluate the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion.Methods:This study is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical and pathological data of 495 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in Department of General Surgery, the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University from October 2012 to October 2018 was analyzed retrospectively. There were 356 males and 139 females with an age ( M(IQR)) of 59 (16) years (range: 18 to 75 years). Observation indicators included postoperative results and long-term prognosis. The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results:Among the 495 patients, a total of 57 patients (11.5%) were lost to follow-up, with a follow-up time of 89 (40) months (range: 23 to 134 months). The 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) were 56.0% and 58.2%, respectively. The 5-year DFS for patients with stage ⅡB, ⅢA, ⅢB, ⅢC were 71.2%, 60.5%, 51.6%, 33.3%, respectively. The 5-year OS for patients with stage ⅡB, ⅢA, ⅢB, ⅢC were 71.2%, 62.2%, 54.1%, 39.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that age >65 years (DFS: HR=1.402, 95% CI: 1.022 to 1.922, P=0.036; OS: HR=1.461, 95% CI: 1.057 to 2.019, P=0.022), lymph node dissection number less than 25 (DFS: HR=1.348, 95% CI: 1.019 to 1.779, P=0.036; OS: HR=1.376, 95% CI: 1.035 to 1.825, P=0.028), pathological stage Ⅲ (DFS: HR=2.131, 95% CI: 1.444 to 3.144, P<0.01; OS: HR=2.079, 95% CI: 1.406 to 3.074, P<0.01), and no postoperative chemotherapy (DFS: HR=3.127, 95% CI: 2.377 to 4.113, P<0.01; OS: HR=3.768, 95% CI: 2.828 to 5.020, P<0.01) were independent prognostic factors for the decrease in DFS and OS rates. Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion could achieve satisfactory long-term oncological outcomes. More lymph node dissection and standardized postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy are expected to further improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with serous invasion after laparoscopic radical surgery.

Medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) is a kind of skin damage which is closely related to the quality of nursing care, and have been attached more and more attention by foreign nursing staff in recent years, however, our clinical nursing staff had limited awareness and knowledge on MARSI and lack of attention. In this paper, the relevant literature at home and abroad was collected and summarized from the perspective of preventive measures, in order to improve the recognition and attention of Chinese nurses on MARSI, promote the rational use of medical adhesive, and prevent the occurrence of MARSI.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes between laparoscopic and open distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph dissection for advanced gastric cancer.

METHODSClinical data of 377 cases of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and 301 cases of open distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph dissection at the Southwest Hospital, the Third Military Medical University from January 2004 to June 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were followed up until September 2015. Surgical outcomes, postoperative complications and long-term survival were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSCompared with conventional open group, laparoscopic group was associated with lower intraoperative blood loss [(125±89) ml vs. (290±161) ml, t=-15.942, P=0.000], shorter time to oral intake [(2.9±0.7) days vs. (4.1±1.6) days, t=-12.120, P=0.000], quicker bowel function retum[(2.7±1.4) days vs. (3.6±1.6) days, t=-7.804, P=0.000], shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.7±3.6) days vs. (10.1±4.1) days, t=-8.107, P=0.000]. In addition, there were no significant differences in the operative time[(207±57) minutes vs. (202±43) minutes, P>0.05], number of retrieved lymph nodes(33±13 vs. 31±15, P>0.05), resection margin length(P>0.05) between two groups. The postoperative complication morbidity in laparoscopic group was significantly lower than that in open group[7.2%(22/377) vs. 12.6%(38/301), χ(2)=5.762, P=0.016]. Within perioperative period, 7 patients underwent operation again due to complication and 1 case died of peritoneal bleeding in laparoscopic group; 6 patients underwent re-operation and 2 cases died of peritoneal infection with hepatic failure and lung infection with respiratory failure. During the median follow-up of 86 months (range from 3-140 months), relapse occurred in 171(45.4%) patients and 183(48.5%, among them, 156 cases died of primary disease) patients died in laparoscopic group; relapse occurred in 140(46.5%) patients and 151(50.2%, among them, 127 cases died of primary disease) patients died in open group. The difference in overall 5-year survival rate between two groups was not statistically significant (51.5% vs. 49.8%, χ(2)=0.142, P=0.706). No significant difference was seen in 5-year disease-free survival rate (49.1% vs. 47.8%, χ(2)=0.062, P=0.803). Stratified analysis based on TNM stage also showed no significant difference in 5-year overall or disease-free survival rate(both P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONLaparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph dissection for advanced gastric cancer has better short-term efficacy and similar long-tern efficacy as compared to open surgery.

Objective To compare the short-term efficacy between da Vinci robotic and laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods Database including PubMed,EMBASE,the Cochrane Library,Medline,the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wanfang Database,VIP and China Biomedicine were searched with the key words of gastric cancer,gastrectomy,da Vinci surgical system,laparoscopic,laparoscopy,胃癌,胃切除术,达芬奇机器人手术系统and腹腔镜.Literatures published between May 2002 and March 2014 were retrieved.Related controlled trials containing the clinical efficacy of da Vinci robotic and laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer were enrolled in the study,and then the literatures were screened and the data were extracted by 2 independent reviewers.The quality of the literatures was assessed,and the data were analyzed using the RevMan 5.2 software.Patients receiving da Vinci robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery were allocated into the robotic group and laparoscopy group,respectively.The count data were analyzed using the relative risk (RR) and 95％ confidence interval (95％ CI),and the measurement data were analyzed using weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95％ CI.The heterogeneity of the data was analyzed using the I2 test.Results Eleven literatures including 3 698 cases were enrolled in the study.There were 953 patients in the robotic group and 2 745 patients in the laparoscopic group.There were significant differences in the operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time of postoperative flatus,time of first oral intake and duration of postoperative hospital stay between the 2 groups (WMD =51.23,-36.96,-0.24,-0.26,-1.11,95％ CI:28.01-74.46,-61.28--12.65,-0.42--0.06,-0.39--0.14,-1.92--0.29,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of lymph nodes resected,the distance to proximal and distal resection margin and overall incidence of postoperative complications (WMD =1.63,0.21,0.06,RR =1.11,95％ CI:-0.49-3.76,-0.65-1.06,-0.13-0.25,0.90-1.37,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Da Vinci robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer is safe and feasible,with the advantages of minimal invasion and rapid postoperative recovery.

A total of 40 patients with COPD (excluding those with correlated/relevant diseases)were measured for inflammation parameters of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and c-reactive protein (CRP) after hospital admission and some coagulation/fibrinolysis parameters including D-dimer,thrombinantithrombin (TAT),prothrombin fragment 1 + 2,(tissue plasminogen activator) tPA,plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1),von Willebrand factor (von WF),endothelin receptor A,thromboxane B2,P-selectin and pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) by ultrasonic cardiography after the settling of the symptons of acute period.All patients were then divided into 2 groups according to PAP [＜ 40 mm Hg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) (n=24),＞40 mm Hg (n=16)].The values of CRP and ESRin the group with PAP ＞ 40 mm Hg were significantly higher than those in another group (P =0.044 and P =0.002respectively) while tPA was lower (P =0.04).A moderate positive correlation existed between tPA and TXB2 (r =0.547).Moreover,a highly positive correlation was found between TXB2 and PAl-1 (r =0.929).The results indicated that the COPD patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) tend to have a higher level of inflammation,and their fibrinolysis becomes impaired leading to a prothrombotic state.

Background and purpose: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a high risk breast cancer characterized by the negative expression of estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and Her-2 that have no specific therapy. This study was to analyze clinical pathological characteristics, survival, and prognostic factors of patients with TNBC. Methods: Clinical and pathological as well as follow-up data of TNBC, treated at the Cancer Centre of Sun Yat-sen University from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2003, were collected and analyzed. Results: A total number of 128 women were identified as having triple negative breast cancer. The median age of these patients was 46 years, and 60.9% of them had stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ disease. The majority of pathological types were invasive ductal carcinomas, and 78.1% of tumors were staged T1 or T2. And 48.4% of these patients were involved in lymph node. Event-free survival, local replase-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival and overall survival at five years were 71.1%, 84.3%, 75.8% and 83.6% respectively. Though lymph node metastasis, tumor masses, stage and lymph-vascular invasion were all found to be related to overall survival, however, only lymph node metastasis and tumor masses affected the overall survival as revealed by the Cox proportional hazard model analysis. Conclusion: Triple negative breast cancer has distinct clinical and pathological characteristics. The patients are usually young, with large masses, lymph node metastasis, family history of breast cancer and poor prognosis; lymph node metastasis and tumor mass are important prognostic factors.
