Objective To develop a Matlab toolbox to improve the efficiency of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis while ensuring the consistency of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis process and results. Methods Adopted the design concept of “Batch processing tedious operation”, based on the Matlab connection OpenSim interface function ensures the consistency of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis process and results, the functional programming was applied to package the five steps for scale, inverse kinematics analysis, residual reduction algorithm, static optimization analysis, and joint reaction analysis of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis as functional functions, and command programming was applied to analyze musculoskeletal movements in large numbers of patients. A toolbox called LLMKA (Lower Limbs Musculoskeletal Kinematics Analysis) was developed. Taking 120 patients with medial knee osteoarthritis as the research object, a clinical researcher was selected using the LLMKA toolbox and OpenSim to test whether the analysis process and results were consistent between the two methods. The researcher used the LLMKA toolbox again to conduct musculoskeletal kinematics analysis in 120 patients to verify whether the use of this toolbox could improve the efficiency of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis compared with using OpenSim. Results Using the LLMKA toolbox could analyze musculoskeletal kinematics analysis in a large number of patients, and the analysis process and results were consistent with the use of OpenSim. Compared to using OpenSim, musculoskeletal kinematics analysis was completed in 120 patients using the LLMKA toolbox with only 2 operations were needed to enter the patient body mass data, operating steps decreased by 99.19%, total analysis time by 66.84%, and manual participation time by 99.72%, just need 0.079 1 hour (4 minutes and 45 seconds). Conclusion The LLMKA toolbox can complete a large number of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis in patients with one click in a way that is consistent in process and results with using OpenSim, reducing the total time of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis, and liberating clinical researchers from cumbersome steps, making more energy into the clinical significance of musculoskeletal kinematics analysis results.
Objective To discuss the differences of the effects on open colorectal cancer operation between using ultracision harmonic scalpel (UHS) and monopolar electrosurgery. Methods Fifty-nine patients from April to December in 2007, suffering colorectal cancer in the same treatment group, underwent open radical operation, 29 by GEN300 UHS (UHS group) and 30 by monopolar electrosurgery as control group. There was no significant difference between two groups among the factors of age, gender, tumor location, Dukes staging, gross morphology and degree of histological differentiation (Pgt;0.05). Results Shorter incision was applied in UHS group than in the control group. The mean operation time of UHS group and control group were 126 and 119 min, respectively (Pgt;0.05). The mean operative blood loss was 50 (20-140) ml in UHS group and 90 (40-200) ml in control group (Pgt;0.05). There were no significant differences among factors of bowel function recovery, mean hospitalization and incidence of complications between two groups (Pgt;0.05). The mean time for postoperative drainage fluid changing from bloody to serous was 8 (2-20) h in UHS group, however, 48 (16-80) h in control group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion In open colorectal cancer operation, benefits of using UHS are shorter incision and minimally invasiveness.
ObjectiveTo compare the results of laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative resection and open surgery for gasric stromal tumor. MethodsFrom January 2010 to March 2015, the clinical data of 56 cases undergoing laparoscopic resection for gasric stromal tumor and 53 cases of traditional operation selected during the same period were retrospectively compared. ResultsThere was no significant difference between two groups in patient's gender, age, body weight, size of tumor, tumor staging, method of operation, intraoperative conditions, postoperative overall complications, local recurrence, and distant metastasis. There were 1 case with the rupture of tumor and 1 case of open surgery transforming in laparoscopic group. In another group, there was the absence of the rupture of tumors. There was no mortality, stomach bleeding, stenosis or leakage occurred between two groups. In laparoscopic group, there were less operative blood loss and abdominal drainage, shorter time of postoperative anal exhaust time, fewer anodyne, a reduction of hospital stay than in convention operation group.However, laparoscopic resection required greater hospital costs and longer operative time. There were significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05). Conciusions With advantages of less blood loss and quicker recovery as compared to conventional operation. Laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative resection for gasric stromal tumor has similar effect when it is performed by well selection of cases, skilled surgeon with experience on open resection for surgical treatment of gastric stromal tumor.
ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical application of the minimally invasive step-up approach in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and to explore the clinical indications, timing for the minimally invasive step-up approach, and to make comparison with open necrosectomy. MethodsThe literatures about the treatment of SAP in recent years were collected to make a review. ResultsThe minimally invasive step-up approach, comparing with open necrosectomy, was more effective to treat SAP, however, itself had its own limitations. In the treatment process, the optimal method was minimally invasive step-up approach, but also did not exclude open necrosectomy. ConclusionsThe treatment of SAP can not rely on a single method, it needs a comprehensive treatment which is relate with multidisciplinary management and highly individual choice. In addition, it needs further study to explore the timing and indications for transforming minimally invasive step-up approach into open necrosectomy.
Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) and open hepatectomy (OH) for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data, CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect the case-control studies about LH vs. OH for patients with HCC from inception to December, 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 28 studies involving 1 908 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: the LH group was superior to OH group on complications (OR=0.35, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.48, P<0.000 01), hospital stay (MD=–4.18, 95%CI (–5.08, –3.29),P<0.000 01), and five years overall survival rate (OR=1.65, 95%CI 1.23 to 2.19,P=0.000 7) and disease-free survival rate (OR=1.51, 95%CI 1.12 to 2.03, P=0.006). However, no significant differences were found in one year and three years overall survival rate, disease-free survival rate, and postoperative recurrence rate. Conclusion Current evidence shows that the LH is superior to OH for the treatment of HCC, and may be amenable to surgery because of its safety and longtime efficacy. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusion.
Objective To explore the choice for the internal fixation in treatment of pelvic posterior lesions. Methods From May 2000 to June 2005, the treatment was given to 40 patients (28 males, 12 females,aged 21-58 years) with pelvic posterior ring fracture and dislocation. Of the patients, 23 had a traffic accident, 11 had a crush injury and 6 had a fall. As for the state of an injury to the pelvic posterior ring, 22 patients had disloation of the sacroiliac joint, 12 had a sacrum fracture dislocation, and 6 had an ala iliac fracture and disloation of the sacroiliac joint. According to the Denis(1988) classification, fracture of the (sacral region Ⅰ was found in 6 cases, fracture of the scaral) region Ⅱ in 3 cases, and fracture of the scaral region Ⅲ in 3 cases. As for the complication of the pelvic front ring fracture:separation of the symphysis pubis was found in 14 cases, fraclure of the superior ramus and inferior ramus of the pubis on one side in 10 cases. The two-side superior ramus of publis and inferion ramus of pubisin 8 cases, homopleural acetabular fracture on one side in 4 cases, acetabularfracture on one side and contralateral superior ramus and inferior ramus fracture of the pubis in 3 cases, and acetabular fracture on the opposite side in 1 case.As for the operation, 28 patients underwent the stillplate internal fixation of the sacroiliac joint from anterior at 24 h to 15 days after the injury, 2 underwent the screwinternal fixation of the sacroiliac joint from posterior, and remaining 10 underwent the internal fixation by the Galveston Technique associated with the ISOLAsystem. The therapeutic results were analyzed. Results The followup of the 40 patients for 6 months to 3 years revealed that before operation 3 had a sacral plexus nerve injury, and after operation 1 patient developed perineum numbness and urinary incontinence, 1 developed claudication，3 developed posterior urethral fragmentation, and 2 developed urinary bladderrupture; however, they had a complete recovery after the reparative surgery. Conclusion In treatment of the pelvic posterior ring lesions，an appropriate internal fixation can be chosen according to the type of the pelvic fracture，applicability of internal fixation， condition of the patient，equipment available, and the doctor’s experience.
Objective To systematic evaluate the efficacy and safety of the endovascular aortic repair （endovascular stent placement） and open operation in treatment of acute Stanford type B aortic dissection. Methods The literatures about clinical controlled trials of endovascular aortic repair and open operation in treatment of acute Stanford type B aortic dissection that were included in CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP， Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials of the Cochrane Library， OVID， Pubmed Medline， EBSCO， EMBASE， Springer Link，Science Direct， and other databases from January 1991 to January 2013 were retrieved by computer. RevMan 5.1 software were used to analyze the clinical trial data. Results Eight trials （5 618 patients with acute Stanford type B aortic dissection） were included in the analysis.There was statistically significant difference of the 30 d mortality after operation between the endovascular repair group and the open operation group， which endovascular repair group was significantly better than the open operation group〔OR=0.55，95% CI （0.46-0.65）， P＜0.000 01〕. In addition， there were significant difference between the incidence of stroke 〔OR=0.57， 95% CI （0.39-0.84）， P=0.005〕， respiratory failure 〔OR=0.64， 95% CI （0.53-0.78）， P＜0.000 01〕， and cardiac complications 〔OR=0.49，95% CI （0.38-0.64），P＜0.000 01〕，which endovascular repair group was better than the open operation group. However，endovascular repair could not improve the postoperative outcomes of paraplegia〔OR=1.30，95% CI （0.82-2.05），P=0.26〕 and acute renal failure 〔OR=0.86，95% CI （0.41-1.80），P=0.69〕. Conclusion Endovascular repair for treatment acute Stanford type B aortic dissection is preferred method.
ObjectiveTo evaluate whether laparoscopic repair for perforated peptic ulcer o ers elderly patients an improved outcome compared with conventional open surgery. MethodsFrom May 2008 to December 2013, clinical data of 163 elderly patients ( ≥ 60 years) who underwent laparoscopic or open repair of perforated peptic ulcer disease were analyzed retrospectively in our hospital. Ninety-one patients received laparoscopic repair and 72 received conventional open repair. The primary end points that were evaluated were total operative time, searching time, nasogastric tube utilization, intravenous fluid requirement, total time of abdominal drainage and urinary catheter usage, time taken to return to normal gastrointestinal motility, percentage of intravenous/intramuscular opiate use, off-bed time, and total in-patient hospital stay. The second end points were morbidity. ResultsThere was a significant diTherence in total operative time in patients who had undergone laparoscopic repair and open repair [(67.9±3.6) minutes vs. (97.8±5.2) minutes]. There was a significant decrease in the time that the nasogastric tube (2.1 days vs. 3.1 days), urinary catheter (2.3 days vs. 3.7 days) and abdominal drain (2.2 days vs. 3.8 days) were required during the postoperative period. Patients who had undergone laparoscopic repair also required less intravenous fluids (2.4 days vs. 4.1 days) and returned to normal gastrointestinal motility [(32.1±1.5) hours vs. (58.4±4.8) hours] and off-bed time significantly earlier than those who had undergone open repair (2.1 days vs. 3.5 days). There was significantly less requirement for intravenous/intramuscular opiate analgesia in patients who had undergone laparoscopic repair (4.7% vs. 45.6%). In addition, patients who had undergone laparoscopic repair required a shorter in-patient hospital stay (4.1 days vs. 5.3 days). Moreover, morbidity of laparoscopic repair was much lower than open repair (3.3% vs. 16.7%). ConclusionLaparoscopic repair is a viable and safe surgical option for elderly patients with perforated peptic ulcer disease and should be considered for all patients.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of one stage vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) combined with bi-pedicle sliding flap transplantation in repairing open tibiofibular fracture and soft tissue defects of the lower leg. MethodsTwenty-five patients with open tibiofibular fracture and soft tissue defects of the lower leg were treated by VSD combined with bi-pedicle sliding flap transplantation between January 2012 and July 2014. There were 18 males and 7 females, aged 12-65 years (mean, 35.2 years). The injury causes included traffic accident injury (20 cases), falling injury from height (3 cases), and heavy pound injury (2 cases). The left side was involved in 14 cases, the right side in 8 cases, and both sides in 3 cases. According to Gustilo classification, injury was rated as type II (6 lower extremities), type III a (19 lower extremities), and type III b (3 lower extremities). The anterior tibial defect area after debridement ranged from 6 cm×3 cm to 12 cm×5 cm. The course of injury and admission was 1-18 hours (mean, 4.5 hours). An anterior tibial bi-pedicle sliding flap of 24 cm×6 cm to 48 cm×8 cm was designed to cover the wound and tibia fracture was fixed with minimally invasive internal fixation. After suturing the anterior tibial wound without tension, the flap was transferred forward. The exposed fibula was fixed with reconstruction plate. The remained wound was covered by VSD. Continuously antibiotic saline irrigation was applied postoperatively. After 15 days, the VSD dressing was removed and free skin graft was used to cover the remained wound. ResultsAfter the VSD dressing was removed, the wounds and tension-reduced wound of 18 lower extremities completely healed. Unhealing wounds were covered by skin graft in 9 lower extremities. Infection occurred in 1 lower extremity and was cured after treated with antibiotics. All the wounds healed and flaps survived. The patients were followed up 6-24 months (mean, 18 months). The fractures union was confirmed by X-ray and the average union time was 3.2 months (range, 2.5-5 months). ConclusionThe application of one stage VSD combined with bi-pedicle sliding flap transposition is a simple and safe treatment regimen for Gustilo type II-IIIa open tibiofibular fracture and soft tissue defects of the lower leg. It has the advantages of few complications and low costs, short hospitalization, and good effectiveness.
