Isokinetic flexion strength recovery after ACL reconstruction: a comparison between all inside graft-link technique and full tibial tunnel technique

Introduction: Recently, a new minimally invasive single bundle technique for anatomic ACL reconstruction has been described, called the ‘All-Inside graft-link technique’. One of the advantages of this procedure is the reduced morbidity at the donor site as the graft choice is the quadrupled semitendinosus, thus sparing the gracilis tendon. The aim of this study was to evaluate isokinetic flexion strength recovery in patients who underwent a gracilis sparing technique compared to those with a full-tibial tunnel technique using a doubled gracilis and semitendinosus tendons (DGST) graft.

Methods: Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (22 patients) who underwent ACL reconstruction performed with an All-Inside graft-link technique; Group B (22 patients) who underwent ACL reconstruction with an Out-In technique and DGST graft. At a mean follow-up of 13 months, quadriceps and hamstring isokinetic peak torque deficits were recorded.

Results: In group A, the mean side to side peak torque flexion difference between the operated and non-operated limbs was ?3% and the mean torque at 30° was ?7.5% at high angular velocity (180°/sec); the mean peak flexion torque was 7.2% and the mean torque at 30° was 3.1% at low angular velocity (60°/sec).

In group B, the mean side to side peak flexion torque was ?3.5% and the mean torque at 30° was ?7.6% at high angular velocity (180°/sec); the mean peak flexion torque was ?7.2% and the mean torque at 30° was ?11% at low angular velocity (60°/sec).

A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups at lower angular velocity both for the mean peak flexion torque and the mean torque at 30° (p = 0.009), with better results in the study group.

Discussion/conclusion: Gracilis sparing technique is a minimally invasive technique for ACL reconstruction and yielded a significantly better flexion strength recovery at lower angular velocity compared to a full tibial tunnel technique with DGST for ACL reconstruction.

??Objective    To investigate the effect of tooth movement at different time after the repair of alveolar bone defects. Methods    Defective alveolar bone model was established on one side in forty white rabbits??which were filled with bone meal and attached with Bio-Gide membrane as experiment sides. The other side was performed routine tooth extraction as control. Track the mandibular second molar in both sides respectively in 1 week??1 month??2 months and 3 months after operation. One month later??the distance between the mandibular second molar and third molar was measured with electronic vernier caliper in the experiment side and control side. The mandibular tissue was made paraffin section and hematoxylin eosin staining. Three views of the periodontal ligament in a third place of the mesial roots of the second molar was randomly chosen to count the total number of osteoclasts. Paired-t test analysis was made to evaluate the displacement of the mandibular second molar in experiment and control side??and to evaluate the number of osteoclasts in two side. Results    In Group 1w and Group 1 m??the displacement of the mandibular second molar in experiment group was smaller than that in the control side??P??0.05??. There was no statistical significance in Group 2 m and Group 3 m. The number of osteoclasts in the experiment side was less than the control group in Group 1 w and Group1 m??P??0.05??. No statistical significance in Group 2 m and Group 3 m was found. Conclusion    Orthodontic treatment can be performed two months after the repair of alveolar bone defects.     

TACE对原发性肝癌患者的疗效及NLR、PLR的影响研究

目的研究经导管动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)对原发性肝癌患者的疗效及中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞计数比(NLR)、血小板/淋巴细胞计数比(PLR)的影响。方法选择2015年6月～2019年1月我院接诊的原发性肝癌患者80例作为研究对象,采用随机数表法将患者分为两组,每组各40例。对照组予传统肝切除术治疗,观察组采用TACE治疗。对比两组治疗后的临床效果,NLR、PLR、癌胚抗原(CEA)、可溶性B7-H4、可溶性白细胞介素-2受体(sIL-2R)及并发症发生情况。结果治疗后,两组患者的总有效率分别为75.00%和52.50%,观察组高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);治疗前,两组患者NLR、PLR水平对比,差异无统计学意义(P0.05);治疗后,患者NLR、PLR水平下降,观察组低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);治疗前,两组患者CEA、B7-H4、sIL-2R水平对比,差异无统计学意义(P0.05);治疗后,两组患者CEA、B7-H4、sIL-2R水平下降,观察组低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);两组患者并发症发生率分别为17.50%、40.00%,观察组低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论在原发性肝癌患者中使用TACE效果显著,可有效改善患者肿瘤标志物水平,减少并发症,值得推广应用。

Assessment of referral patterns for boys with suspected undescended testes and identification of risk factors to aid diagnosis

IntroductionUndescended testis (UDT) is a clinical diagnosis and a common reason for referral to paediatric urology outpatients. Our aim was to assess current referral patterns at our unit and to identify predictive factors that may better aid primary care physicians (PCP) in diagnosing UDT based on history and physical exam.MethodsA retrospective analysis of referrals to outpatients from 2014 to 2016 was performed to assess current referral patterns including referral source, age, reason for referral and outcome following assessment by a single consultant paediatric urologist.A prospective analysis of new referrals was performed to identify predictive factors which may aid in the diagnosis of UDT including gestational age, presence of scrotal asymmetry and previously obtained imaging.ResultsFrom 2014 to 2016, 259 boys were referred with suspected UDT. The majority of referrals were received from PCPs (62%) followed by Neonatology (29%), Paediatrics (8%) and general surgery (1%). Median age at time of assessment was 29 (5–180) months. One hundred and eight (41.7%) boys were diagnosed with UDT.There were 74 boys assessed prospectively. Median age at assessment was 24.5 (6–171) months. We identified 3 predictors of a diagnosis of UDT; history of prematurity (p = 0.001), UDT mentioned to the parents at birth (p = 0.027) and scrotal asymmetry on examination (p < 0.001). Greatest diagnostic inaccuracy was found in boys referred beyond one year of age (27.7%). In this cohort, the absence of all three risk factors was associated with a negative predictive value of 94.1%.ConclusionThe majority of boys with suspected UDT are referred beyond the age recommended for orchidopexy (6–12 months). The majority of boys referred for assessment did not have UDT. We have identified three predictive factors that may aid referring physicians when assessing boys, particularly those older than 1 year.     

40岁以上高龄女性体外受精-胚胎移植妊娠结局分析

目的：探讨40岁以上高龄女性体外受精-胚胎移植（IVF-ET）的妊娠结局，旨在为高龄女性提供生育咨询以及为改善高龄女性个体化辅助生殖治疗结局提供临床依据。方法：选择我院生殖中心2015年1月—2017年12月女方年龄≥40岁且使用自身卵子行体外受精的共2 467个治疗周期资料，对各项临床数据进行回顾性分析。结果：40岁及以上行辅助生殖治疗的患者，随着女性年龄增加获卵数明显减少（40～48岁女性平均获卵数分别为2.97、 2.69、2.17、2.01、1.77、1.61、1.68、1.29和1.00，44～48岁与40～43岁依次组间比较均P＜0.05），尤其是44岁以上女性胚胎发育潜能明显降低（40～48岁囊胚形成率分别为48.90%、43.72%、33.67%、34.29%、24.39%、21.14%、26.32%、16.67%和0%，44～48岁与40～43岁组间依次比较均P＜0.05）。共有518个周期行新鲜胚胎移植，结果显示，随女性年龄增加，临床妊娠率（40～48岁临床妊娠率分别为26.92%、21.15%、20.79%、10.96%、18.87%、11.11%、5.88%、0%和0%，43～48岁与40～42岁组间依次比较均P＜0.05）、种植率（40～48岁种植率分别为23.65%、19.51%、17.70%、8.54%、7.49%、10.81%、5.56%、0%和0%，43～48岁与40～42岁组间依次比较均P＜0.05）和活产率均显著降低（40～46岁活产率分别为18.46%、10.58%、9.90%、5.48%、5.66%、2.78%和5.88%，43～46岁与40～42岁组间依次比较均P＜0.05），43岁以上者结局更差。44岁以上女性自然流产率明显增高（40～45岁流产率分别为31.43%、50.00%、52.38%、50.00%、70.00%和75.00%，44～45岁与40～43岁组间依次比较均P＜0.05）。46岁女性仅1例妊娠并分娩，47岁和48岁女性均无成功妊娠。与抗苗勒管激素（AMH）＞1.0 ng/mL组相比，AMH≤1.0 ng/mL组妊娠率、种植率及活产率均显著下降（27.04% vs. 14.74%，22.99% vs. 13.50%，15.88% vs. 7.37%；均P＜0.05），流产率明显升高（41.27% vs. 50.00%，P＜0.05）。结论：≥40岁高龄女性随年龄增长生育力逐渐降低。40～43岁年龄段女性助孕仍有一定的价值，尤其是卵巢仍有一定储备者（AMH＞1.0 ng/mL），但44岁以上女性原则上不再建议ART助孕，对于46岁以上卵巢功能衰竭的女性强烈建议卵子捐赠或收养。
