Objective To investigate the research advance in repair of the peripheral nerve defect with an acellular nerve allograft. Methods The recent related literature was extensively and comprehensively reviewed. The methods and the effects of the allografts with acellular nerves were analyzed. Results The immunogenicity of the allograft was more significantly relieved by the chemical treatment than by the physicaltreatment. The effect of the chemical treatment on the axon regeneration was better than that of the physical treatment. Conclusion Because of the limitation of the host Schwann cell translation in the longsegment acellular nerve allografts, the effect of Schwann cells is not satisfactory and regeneration of the nerve is limited. So, the recellularized treatment with some related measures can enhance the host Schwann cell translation so that this problem can be solved.
In order to investigate pre-and postoperative changes of prostagladin E2 (PGE2) and cellular immune function in patients with gastric cancer (GC), we measured T cell subsets, natural killer cell activity (NKCA) and PGE2 in peripheral blood (PB) of 31 GC patients and 30 controls with APAAP method, LDH release method and radioimmunoassay respectively. The results showed：① a significantly higher levels of PGE2, and a markedly lower levels of CD+4/CD+8 ratio in GC patients before surgery as compared with the controls. The PGE2 had a significant negtive coorelation with CD+4/CD+8 ratio and NKCA respectively.②PGE2 in PB of GC patients gradully declined to normal levels after surgery, moreover PGE2 in tumor tissue was markedly higher than that in normal tissue, implying that the tumor may be the major source of PGE2 in PB. Dynamic determination of PGE2 in PB would be great valuable in evaluation of cellular immune state, to evaluate the effect of surgery and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.
Objective To compare the effectiveness between ultrasound-guided and C-arm-guided in closed reduction and pinning for the treatment of metacarpophalangeal fractures. Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with metacarpophalangeal fractures between October 2015 and November 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different treatments, the patients were divided into ultrasound group (using ultrasound-guided closed reduction and pinning, n=15) and C-arm group (using C-arm-guided closed reduction and pinning, n=15). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, causes of injury, injured finger, location of injury finger, fracture classification between 2 groups (P>0.05). The status and success rate of reduction were compared (excellent, good, and acceptable grades could be regarded as the successful reduction). The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, and fracture healing time were recorded. And the postoperative functional recovery was evaluated according to the total active movement (TAM) by the standard functional evaluation issued by Hand Surgery Association of Chinese Medical Association. Results The operation time of ultrasound group was longer than C-arm group, and the intraoperative fluoroscopy times was less than C-arm group, all showing significant differences (P<0.05). There was no signifi cant difference in the grade and the success rate of reduction between 2 groups (P>0.05). All the patients were followed up 6-18 months (mean, 10 months), without malunion, joint stiffness, tendon adhesions, and other complications. There was also no significant difference in the fracture healing time, the grade of TAM, and the excellent and good rate of TAM between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The treatment of ultrasound-guided closed reduction and pinning for metacarpophalangeal fractures is effective, which is a feasible auxiliary method of closed reduction and fixation for fracture. And less fluoroscopy can reduce the radiation damage of operation.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of skin stretching device in repair of diabetic foot wound.MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 48 cases with diabetic foot wound who were treated with skin stretching device (trial group, n=24) and with the vacuum sealing drainage combined with skin graft (control group, n=24) respectively between October 2015 and July 2016. There was no significant difference in gender, age, side, course of disease, TEXAS stage between 2 groups (P>0.05). Both patients in 2 groups were treated with sensitive antibiotics according to the results of bacterial culture.ResultsOne case in control group was infected and the skin graft failed, and 1 case in trial group was infected after the treatment, and the two wounds healed after symptomatic treatment. The wounds of the other patients healed successfully, and the healing time of the trial group was significantly shorter than that of the control group [(12.8±11.6) days vs. (22.3±10.4) days; t=2.987, P=0.005). All patients were followed up 3-12 months after operation, and no wound dehiscence or recurrence occurred during follow-up.ConclusionCompared with the vacuum sealing drainage combined with skin graft, the application of skin stretching device in the repair of diabetic foot wound has advantages, such as easy to operate, shorten the wound healing time, and the appearance of wound was similar with the adjacent skin.
ObjectiveTo explore the mid-term effectiveness of large-head metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (THA).MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical date of 40 patients (43 hips) who were treated with the large-head metal-on-metal THA between April 2009 and June 2010. There were 18 males (20 hips) and 22 females (23 hips) with an average age of 55.1 years (range, 20-85 years). Unilateral hip was involved in 37 cases and bilateral hips in 3 cases. The disease causes included osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 14 cases (15 hips), osteoarthritis in 6 cases (7 hips), rheumatoid arthritis in 4 cases (4 hips), femoral neck fracture in 4 cases (4 hips), and developmental dysplasia of the hip in 12 cases (13 hips). Before operation, the Harris score and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score were 38.51±5.62 and 4.21±1.43, respectively. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 6.78±0.95.ResultsAll patients were followed up 6.7-8.3 years (mean 7.5 years). All incisions healed primarily and no neurovascular injury, infection, and hip dislocation occurred. At last follow-up, the Harris score and UCLA score were 93.33±3.21 and 7.32±1.45, respectively, showing significant differences when compared with preoperative scores (t=51.753, P=0.000; t=23.232, P=0.000). The thigh pain occurred in 3 cases (3 hips) in whom the inflammatory pseudotumor of soft tissues was found in 1 case (1 hip). Postoperative X-ray films showed that the acetabular abduction angle and anteversion angle were (46.5±3.2)° and (14.8±3.6) °, respectively. The initial stability of femoral stem prosthesis was excellent in 39 hips and good in 4 hips according to Mulliken standard. Osteolysis occurred in 2 hips and revision was performed in 1 hip of secondary loosening of prosthesis. The rest patients had no prosthesis loosening or sinking.ConclusionThe mid-term effectiveness of large-head mental-on-mental THA in treatment of the terminal diseases of hips are good.
Objective To systematically review the effectiveness of amiodarone in treating repurfusion arrhythmia (RA) after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), so as to provide high quality evidence for formulating the rational thrombolytic therapy for AMI. Methods Randomized controlled trails (RCTs) on amiodarone in treating RA after thrombolytic therapy for AMI were electronically retrieved in PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2012), CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data from inception to January, 2013. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed quality. Then RevMan 5.1 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 5 RCTs involving 440 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis suggested that, compared with the blank control, amiodarone reduced the incidence of RA after thrombolytic therapy in treating AMI (RR=0.60, 95%CI 0.48 to 0.74, Plt;0.000 01) and the incidence of ventricular fibrillation (RR=0.47, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.85, P=0.01). It neither affected the recanalization rate of occluded arteries after thrombolytic therapy (RR=1.00, 95%CI 0.88 to 1.15, P=0.94) nor decreased the mortality after surgery (RR=0.33, 95%CI 0.10 to 1.09, P=0.07). Conclusion Current evidence indicated that, amiodarone can decrease the incidence of RA. Unfortunately, the mortality rate can’t be reduced by amiodarone. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion
