The effect of vascular endothelial growth factor on the healing of ischaemic skin wounds.

The effect of exogenous vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) on wound healing in an ischaemic skin flap model was evaluated in this study. Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Normal incisional wound and H-shaped double flaps were used as the wound models. The study was divided into two parts. In Part I, VEGF protein levels were determined from the incisional and H-shaped ischaemic wounds at 12 and 24 h, postoperatively. In Part II, tensile strength and immunohistochemical stains were examined to determine the level of microvessel density (MVD) at 1 and 2 weeks, postoperatively in simple incisional wounds, ischaemic wounds, and ischaemic wounds following 1 ml (1 microg/ml) exogenous VEGF injections into the subcutaneous tissue. The results showed a significantly higher level of VEGF protein in the ischaemic wounds than the incisional wounds. Tensile strength was statistically higher in the incisional wound group and in the ischaemic flap wounds with VEGF treatment compared to the ischaemic flaps with no treatment at 1 week, postoperatively (p>0.05). MVD data indicated that ischaemic wound repair with VEGF treatment had significantly higher MVD than the normal incisional wounds and ischaemic wounds without treatment. We conclude that exogenous application of VEGF can increase early angiogenesis and tensile strength in the ischaemic wound.

Emergency coronary artery bypass surgery in the era of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist use

The use of intravenous glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa platelet receptor antagonists in the management of patients with acute coronary syndrome or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become increasingly common in recent years. There are three GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists currently available for clinical use. Patients on GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists who require emergency surgical revascularization may be at increased risk for excessive peri- and postoperative bleeding. The duration of action of eptifibatide and tirofiban are short because they bind reversibly to the GP IIb/IIIa receptor and have a short half-life. Therefore, within a relatively short time after discontinuation of these agents, surgery can be performed with little or no increased risk of bleeding and without the need for additional hemostatic measures. Abciximab has a short plasma half-life but a long duration of action due to its high-affinity binding of GP IIb/IIIa receptors. Early retrospective studies demonstrated a higher incidence of major bleeding and requirement for blood transfusion, especially in those undergoing surgery within 12 hours of the discontinuation of abciximab. However, platelet transfusion has been shown to successfully reduce the incidence of these complications. The current evidence therefore indicates that, with appropriate measures, urgent surgical revascularization can be safely performed in patients who have received a GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist with little added risk. The benefits of these agents in the treatment of patients with an acute coronary syndrome or undergoing PCI are not obviated by the need for emergency bypass surgery.     

Is Patient-Specific Instrumentation Accurate and Necessary for Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy? A Meta-Analysis

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to identify if patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) could increase the accuracy of the correction in high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and to explore the assessment indices and the necessity of using a PSI in HTO. A systematic search was carried out using online databases. A total of 466 patients were included in 11 papers that matched the inclusion criteria. To evaluate the accuracy of PSI-assisted HTO, the weight bearing line ratio (WBL%), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA), and posterior tibial slope angle (PTSA) were measured preoperatively and postoperatively and compared to the designed target values. Statistical analysis was performed after strict data extraction with Review Manager (version 5.4). Significant differences were detected in WBL% (MD = −36.41; 95% CI: −42.30 to −30.53; p < 0.00001), HKA (MD = −9.95; 95% CI: –11.65 to –8.25; p < 0.00001), and mMPTA (MD = –8.40; 95% CI:−10.27 to −6.53; p < 0.00001) but not in PTSA (MD = 0.34; 95% CI: −0.59 to 1.27; p = 0.47) between preoperative and postoperative measurements. There was no significant difference between the designed target values and the postoperative correction values of HKA (MD = 0.14; 95% CI: −0.19 to 0.47; p = 0.41) or mMPTA (MD = 0.11; 95% CI −0.34 to 0.55; p = 0.64). The data show that 3D-based planning of PSI for HTO is both accurate and safe. WBL%, HKA, and mMPTA were the optimal evaluation indicators of coronal plane correction. Sagittal correction is best evaluated by the PTSA. The present study reports that PSI is accurate but not necessary in typical HTO.     

A new experimental inbred Wistar rat varicocele model: anatomy of the left spermatic vein and the effect on histology

Because of venous anatomical differences between rats and humans and the personal interpretation of these differences, there is neither consistent animal prototype nor consistent results in the study of varicocele. We established a new substrain of Wistar inbred rats, of which the left testis vein has no significant branches to the common iliac vein up pampiniform plexus, but instead enters the left renal vein directly (similar to humans) and used them to create experimental varicocele model by partial ligation of the left renal vein. One month later, the predominant lesion of the left testis in induced group was spermatogenic arrest at the spermatid and preliminary spermatocyte phases, and considerable interstitial and Sertoli cell vacuolation. The right testis also showed spermatogenic arrest. Most important, the characteristics of the lesions differed in both testes, with the left testis having more severe lesions. Allowing for the unique anatomy of the left spermatic vein, the standard of the surgical procedure, the high rate of varicocele induction, and identical histological alteration as occurs in humans, we believe that this inbred Wistar rat substrain is suitable for the creation of an experimental varicocele model, which has promise for practical application in humans.
