Customized three-dimensionally printed mandibular external fixator

The advent of customized three-dimensional (3D) printing allows the affordable manufacturing of sophisticated medical devices, thereby providing swift and simple solutions to specific needs in modern healthcare. Meanwhile, certain devices such as industrial mandibular external fixators (EFs) have become less and less available from medical device companies because of decreased indications. What is more, their handling is often complex. The authors report, step by step, the original design and uneventful clinical use of a 3D-printed, customized mandibular EF. This device was designed together with a positioning and drilling guide for the fixation of a septic mandibular pseudarthrosis. It provided an adequate and satisfactory balance between lightness and rigidity. A simple, accurate and safe placement of the EF was achieved thanks to the skin-supported positioner and drilling guide, thereby making the procedure minimally invasive and time-efficient. To our knowledge, this is the first reported clinical use of a 3D-printed, customized mandibular EF to date. Because such 3D technology is becoming increasingly available to a large number of surgeons, the authors believe that the present innovation could become an alternative to reusable standard EFs.     

Standard versus customised locking plates for fixation of schatzker ii tibial plateau fractures

Aim3D-printed implants could improve the capture of fracture fragments for improved stability of tibial plateau fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical strength of fixation constructs using standard and customised 3D-printed proximal tibial locking plates for fixation of tibial plateau fractures.MethodsThis is a biomechanical study utilising six pairs of cadaveric tibiae. Fractures were created in an identical fashion using an osteotome and mallet, and fixed using either a standard, commercially-available proximal tibia locking plate or a customised 3D-printed plate. Design and production of the customised plates followed a “3D printing at point-of-care” model. Customised stainless steel 316 L plates were produced within a local additive manufacturing laboratory based upon pre-operative CT scans. Determination of implant choice within each cadaver pair was performed via simple randomisation. Following fracture fixation, the tibiae were skeletalised and biomechanically tested using a customised loading jig and a size-matched femoral knee prosthesis. The constructs were loaded cyclically from 100 N to approximately three times the cadaveric body-weight at 5 Hz for 10 000 cycles. Every 1000 cycles, the test was paused and the tibia was physically checked for failure. If failure had not occurred by the end of the testing cycle, the construct was loaded to failure and the load at which the construct failed was noted.ResultsFixation constructs using the 3D-printed plates performed comparably to those using the standard plates. There was no significant difference in the degree of fracture fragment displacement in both constructs. Overall longitudinal construct stiffness and load to failure was higher in the 3D-plates group but this did not reach statistical significance.ConclusionProduction of customised plates for proximal tibia fractures at point-of-care is feasible, however fixation constructs with these plates did not provide any biomechanical advantage over standard plates in terms of axial loading stiffness.     

PD-L1高表达晚期非小细胞肺癌患者单纯免疫治疗与免疫联合化疗疗效比较

背景与目的以免疫检查点抑制剂（immune checkpoint inhibitors, ICIs）为代表的免疫治疗越来越广泛地应用于肺癌治疗。然而，对于程序性死亡受体配体1（programmed cell death-ligand 1, PD-L1）高表达，即肿瘤比例评分（tumor proportion score, TPS）≥50%的晚期非小细胞肺癌（non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC）患者，采用单纯免疫治疗还是免疫联合化疗在临床上仍存争议。本研究旨在评估PD-L1高表达的晚期NSCLC患者接受单纯免疫治疗与免疫联合化疗的疗效。方法本研究回顾性分析了49例PD-L1高表达晚期NSCLC患者的临床资料。PD-L1表达采用22C3抗体行免疫组化染色，按TPS判读PD-L1表达水平。比较不同临床特征分组患者的客观缓解率（objective response rate，ORR）和无进展生存时间（progression free survival, PFS）。结果免疫单药与免疫联合化疗组的ORR分别为47.1%（8/17）和43.8%（14/32），差异无统计学意义（P=0.825）。免疫单药与免疫联合化疗组的中位PFS分别为8.0个月和6.8个月，差异无统计学意义（P=0.502）。并对本组PD-L1高表达患者免疫治疗的预测因素进行了分析，结果显示，一线免疫治疗ORR（12/19, 63.2%）显著优于二线及以上免疫治疗（10/30, 33.3%），差异有统计学意义（P=0.041），二者间PFS无差异。年龄、性别、吸烟史、功能状态评分（performance status, PS）、病理类型、肿瘤大小、肿瘤淋巴结转移（tumor node metastasis, TNM）分期与ORR和PFS不相关。结论PD-L1高表达的晚期NSCLC患者接受免疫单药和免疫联合化疗的疗效相近。PD-L1高表达患者一线免疫治疗的ORR更佳。对此类人群的最佳治疗方案有待于前瞻性临床研究进一步探索。     

骨填充网袋椎体成形术与经皮椎体后凸成形术治疗Kümmell病的疗效比较

目的比较骨填充网袋椎体成形术（Vesselplasty）与经皮椎体后凸成形术（percutaneous kyphoplasty，PKP）治疗 Kümmell 病的临床疗效。方法2015 年 1 月—2018 年 12 月收治 63 例 Kümmell 病患者，其中 28 例采用 Vesselplasty 治疗（Vesselplasty 组），35 例采用 PKP 治疗（PKP 组）。两组患者性别、年龄、病程、骨密度 T 值、骨折节段及术前疼痛视觉模拟评分（VAS）、Oswestry 功能障碍指数（ODI）、伤椎前缘高度、后凸 Cobb 角等一般资料比较，差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05），具有可比性。记录两组手术时间、术中透视时间、骨水泥注射量、骨水泥渗漏率、骨水泥弥散面积率和随访期间并发症发生情况，以及术前、术后 1 d、末次随访时 VAS 评分、ODI、伤椎前缘高度、后凸 Cobb 角。 结果两组患者均获随访，随访时间 12～36 个月，平均 24.2 个月。Vesselplasty 组手术时间、术中透视时间、骨水泥注射量、骨水泥弥散面积率均明显小于 PKP 组（P<0.05）。Vesselplasty 组骨水泥渗漏率（7.14%）明显低于 PKP 组（34.29%）（χ²=5.153，P=0.023）。两组患者术后 1 d 及末次随访时 VAS 评分、ODI、伤椎前缘高度、后凸 Cobb 角均较术前显著改善（P<0.05），术后两组间比较差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。随访期间两组均未见术椎再塌陷，Vesselplasty 组邻椎骨折发生率（7.14%）与 PKP 组（14.29%）比较，差异无统计学意义（χ²=0.243，P=0.622）。 结论Vesselplasty 和 PKP 治疗 Kümmell 病疗效相似，均能有效缓解患者疼痛症状，改善生活质量，部分恢复伤椎高度，矫正椎体后凸。但前者具有手术时间短、术中透视时间少、骨水泥渗漏少等优势。

3-磷酸甘油酸脱氢酶促进丝氨酸合成在肿瘤进展中的机制

丝氨酸生物合成途径活性的上调是许多癌症明显的共同特征。该途径的第一种限速酶3-磷酸甘油酸脱氢酶(PHGDH)在黑色素瘤、乳腺癌和肾癌等癌组织中高表达，对肿瘤细胞增殖、转移、侵袭有着重要作用。糖酵解中间产物3-磷酸甘油酸在PHGDH作用下，氧化为磷酸羟基丙酮酸并最终合成丝氨酸。丝氨酸转化为甘氨酸，然后在核苷酸、s-腺苷甲硫氨酸(SAM)和还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)的合成中起着重要的作用。PHGDH 有望成为肿瘤治疗的新靶点。
