ObjectiveTo review the bioactive strategies that enhance tendon graft healing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and to provide insights for improving the therapeutic outcomes of ACLR. Methods The domestic and foreign literature related to the bioactive strategies for promoting the healing of tendon grafts after ACLR was extensively reviewed and summarized. ResultsAt present, there are several kinds of bioactive materials related to tendon graft healing after ACLR: growth factors, cells, biodegradable implants/tissue derivatives. By constructing a complex interface simulating the matrix, environment, and regulatory factors required for the growth of native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the growth of transplanted tendons is regulated at different levels, thus promoting the healing of tendon grafts. Although the effectiveness of ACLR has been significantly improved in most studies, most of them are still limited to the early stage of animal experiments, and there is still a long way to go from the real clinical promotion. In addition, limited by the current preparation technology, the bionics of the interface still stays at the micron and millimeter level, and tends to be morphological bionics, and the research on the signal mechanism pathway is still insufficient.ConclusionWith the further study of ACL anatomy, development, and the improvement of preparation technology, the research of bioactive strategies to promote the healing of tendon grafts after ACLR is expected to be further promoted.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common and important complication after cardiac surgery. The pathological reactions caused by cardiac surgery, such as traumatic stress reaction, inflammation, hemodynamics disorders, and blood coagulation dysfunction, by triggering central inflammation, ischemia, hypoxia and ischemia-reperfusion injury and other mechanisms, leading to brain function-impairment, causing the development of POCD. According to the above mechanisms, taking corresponding protective measures, reducing the development of POCD, and improving the quality of life after cardiac surgery are of great importance.

Objective To investigate different gases and hematocrits on cerebral injury during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in a piglet model including monitoring by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Methods Twenty-four piglets were assigned to 4 groups with respect to different blood gas and hematocrit during DHCA. Group A: hematocrit was maintained between 0.25 to 0.30, pH-stat strategy during cooling phases and alpha stat strategy in other phases; group B: hematocrit was maintained between 0.25 to 0.30 and alpha stat strategy; group C: hematocrit was maintained between 0.20 to 0.25, pH-stat strategy during cooling phases and alpha stat strategy in other phases; group D: hematocrit was maintained between 0.20 to 0.25 and alpha stat strategy. Cerebral oxygenations of piglets were monitored continuously by NIRS. The brain was fixed in situ at 6 hours after operation and a histological score for neurological injury was assessed. Results Oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) and total hemoglobin (HbT) signals detected by NIRS were significantly lower in group D than those in group A and group B during cooling (Plt;0.05). Oxygenated hemoglobin nadir time was significantly shorter in group A(Plt;0.05). All piglets with oxygenated hemoglobin signal nadir time less than 25 minutes were free from histological evidence of brain injury. Conclusion Combination of pH-stat strategy and higher hematocrit reduces neurological injury after DHCA.

Objective To investigate clinical features of accidental parathyroid adenoma (APTA) and to explore diagnosis and treatment strategies of APTA. Methods From February 2009 to December 2016, the patients who would receive the thyroid surgery and were accidentally found the parathyroid adenoma by preoperative examination in the Department of Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University were enrolled in the research. The clinical characteristics, surgical procedure, results of postoperative follow-up were analyzed retrospectively, and which were compared between the patients with APTA and the other patients diagnosed as primary parathyroid adenoma or received thyroid surgery (1 : 4 chosen randomly) in the same period. Results From February 2009 to December 2016, the patients who treated with thyroid surgery and were diagnosed as the primary parathyroid adenoma in our center were 5 881 and 251 respectively. Twenty-six patients with APTA were found in this research. The incidence rate of APTA was 0.44% (26/5 881), accounted for 10.4% (26/251) of the primary parathyroid adenoma. The positive rates of the ultrasound and the parathyroid scintigraphy were 69.2% (18/26) and 72.7% (8/11), respectively. The abnormal rate of the bone mineral density examination was 85.7% (6/7). The preoperative PTH was (38.17±40.69) pmol/L (3.40–181.20 pmol/L), and the serum calcium was (2.73±0.27) mmol/L (2.22–3.23 mmol/L). The number of detected parathyroid adenoma was 29, which were 55.2% (16/29) in the right-lower, 6.9% (2/29) in the right-upper, 27.6% (8/29) in the left-lower, and 10.3% (3/29) in the left-upper location. The rate of single parathyroid adenoma was 88.5% (23/26) and the maximum diameter of parathyroid adenoma was (21.72±9.65) mm. There was 13 cases (44.8%) of the A1 type and 16 cases (55.2%) of the B1 type in these 29 parathyroid adenomas. The rates of the recurrence, postoperative transient hypoparathyroidism, and permanent hypoparathyroidism were 7.7% (2/26), 30.8% (8/26), and 3.8% (1/26), respectively. Additionally, the preoperative PTH and serum calcium levels of the patients with APTA were significantly lower as compared with the primary parathyroid adenoma (P<0.001,P<0.001), which were significantly higher as compared with those of the patients received thyroid surgery without APTA in the same period (P=0.001, P<0.001). Conclusions APTA is a specific type of asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism. Examinations for PTH and serum calcium levels before thyroid surgery are important for finding APTA. For the patients with APTA, it is safe and effective to carry out exploratory parathyroidectomy with thyroid surgery at the same time.
ObjectiveTo investigate therapeutic strategy of acute pulmonary embolism. MethodsClinical data of 48 patients with acute pulmonary embolism who were treated in Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College form January 2009 to May 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsOf the 48 cases, 14 cases of low risk (low risk group) were treated with anticoagulation, 24 cases of middle risk (middle risk group) were treated with anticoagulation and systematic thrombolysis or interventional therapy (local thrombolysis after thrombus fragmentation or thrombolytic catheter placement in pulmonary artery), 10 cases of high risk (high risk group) were treated with anticoagulation and interventional therapy. In low risk group, 12 cases (85.7%) were cured and 2 cases (14.3%) were markedly effective, and total effective rate was 100%. In middle risk group, 16 cases (66.7%) were cured and 8 cases (33.3%) were markedly effective, and total effective rate was 100%. In high risk group, 1 case died, 3 cases were cured, 2 cases were markedly effective, and 4 cases were better, and the total effective ratio was 9/10. All cases suffered from no complication such as hemorrhage of cerebral and digestive system. Forty-eight cases were followed up for 3-12 months, with a median time of 8 months. During the follow-up period, there was no complication occurred such as dyspnea, pulmonary embolism, placement change of filter net, and thrombosis. ConclusionsCorresponding therapeutic strategy would be taken according to risk stratification of the acute pulmonary embolism.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of modified lateral mass screws implantation strategy on axial symptoms in cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty. MethodsA clinical data of 166 patients, who underwent cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty between August 2011 and July 2016 and met the selection criteria, was retrospective analyzed. Among them, 81 patients were admitted before August 2014 using the traditional mini-plate placement and lateral mass screws implantation strategy (control group), and 85 patients were admitted after August 2014 using modified lateral mass screws implantation strategy (modified group). There was no significant difference in the gender composition, age, clinical diagnosis, disease duration, diseased segment, and preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Neck Disability Index (NDI), cervical curvature and range of motion, spinal canal diameter and cross-sectional areas, and Pavlov’s value between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, the number of facet joints penetrated by lateral mass screws, effectiveness evaluation indexes (JOA score and improvement rate, VAS score, NDI), imaging evaluation indexes (cervical curvature and range of motion, spinal canal diameter and cross-sectional areas, Pavlov’s value, and lamina open angle), and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups.ResultsThe modified group had shorter operation time and lower intraoperative blood loss than the control group (P<0.05). There were 121 (29.9%, 121/405) and 10 (2.4%, 10/417) facet joints penetrated by lateral mass screws in control and modified groups, respectively; and the difference in incidence was significant (χ2=115.797, P=0.000). Eighteen patients in control group had 3 or more facet joints penetrated while no patients in modified group suffered 3 or more facet joint penetrated. The difference between the two groups was significant (P=0.000). All patients were followed up, the follow-up time was (28.7±4.9) months in modified group and (42.4±10.7) months in control group, showing significant difference (t=10.718, P=0.000). The JOA score, VAS score, and NDI at last follow-up of the two groups were significantly improved compared with preoperative (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in JOA score and improvement rate and VAS score between the two groups (P>0.05), but the NDI was significantly lower in modified group than in control group (P<0.05). There were significant differences in cervical curvature and range of motion, spinal canal diameter, Pavlov’s value, and cross-sectional areas at last follow-up when compared with those before operation in both groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the above indicators and lamina open angle between the two groups (P>0.05). The modified group has a relative lower axial symptom rate (23/85, 27.1%) than the control group (27/81, 33.3%), but the difference was not significant (Z=?1.446, P=0.148). There was no significant differences between the two groups in the incidences of C5 nerve root palsy, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, wound infection, and lung or urinary tract infection (P>0.05). ConclusionIn the cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty, the modified lateral mass screws implantation strategy can effectively reduce the risk of lateral mass screw penetrated to the cervical facet joints, and thus has a positive significance in avoiding the axial symptoms caused by facet joint destruction.
