Outcome of isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at mean 6.3-year follow up: a consecutive case series

Objectives: There is a paucity of reporting on surgical outcomes of isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR). We hypothesize that isolated PCL injuries failing nonoperative treatment achieve good outcomes and are able to return to sport following PCLR.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed to identify patients with isolated PCL injuries that underwent reconstruction between 2001 and 2014. Patients with multi-ligamentous injury or another concomitant knee pathology were excluded. Medical records were reviewed for demographic, clinical and operative data. Patients were contacted for administration of a telephone-based questionnaire which included the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation form, Lysholm-Tegner scales, Marx activity scale (MAS), return to sport status, and patient satisfaction instruments.

Results: A total of 15 isolated PCL reconstructions in 14 patients with a mean age of 27.5 years (range 17–43) met the study inclusion criteria; mean follow up was 6.3 years (range 1.4–15.2). Pre-operatively, the primary complaint was knee instability in all patients; on physical examination, lack of a firm end point during posterior drawer testing was found in 93% (14/15) of the knees. In total, 12 of 15 knees underwent transtibial, single-bundle PCLR and three of 15 underwent tibial inlay, double bundle PCLR. Graft types included: quadriceps autograft (7/15), Achilles allograft (6/15), and hamstring autograft (2/15). There were no graft failures in our patient cohort. At most recent follow up the mean scores respectively on the IKDC form, Lysholm-Tegner scales and MAS were (standard deviation): 77.3 (16.5), 83.1 (17.9), 6.13 (2.6), and 7.1 (6.0). All fourteen patients were athletes prior to their injury and 79% (11/14) returned to sport and overall patient satisfaction was 9.2/10.

Conclusions: Isolated PCLR provides good outcomes at mean medium-term follow up with restoration of function, high rate of return to sport and overall patient satisfaction.     

有机溶剂作业场所通风排毒设施常见问题及控制策略

有机溶剂是工业生产中常见的职业病危害因素,所致的各类急慢性中毒时有发生。有机溶剂挥发至空气中呈无色透明状态,了解其在作业场所的挥发和分布特点,选择合适的通风排毒设施对于有机溶剂危害控制至关重要。本文拟通过分析有机溶剂挥发、分布的影响因素,结合各类通风排毒设施存在的常见问题,重点介绍有代表性的有机溶剂作业场所的通风排毒控制策略。     

光化学作用对肿瘤细胞胞吞大分子的释放

目的观察不同光敏剂在肿瘤细胞内的分布,以及光化学作用对肿瘤细胞胞吞大分子的释放作用.方法使用激光共聚焦显微镜观察ALA、ALA-HE、HMME、TPPSa2在肿瘤细胞SW480、K562的胞内分布,使用FITC-右旋糖酐观察肿瘤细胞对荧光标记大分子的胞吞作用,通过光照激发光敏化细胞,动态观察光化学作用前后胞吞大分子FITC-右旋糖酐的胞内分布变化.结果ALA、ALA-HE、HMME、TPPSa24种光敏剂均表现为胞质分布,核内分布少.ALA、ALA-HE的胞内分布主要表现为胞质内的弥散性荧光.HMME则表现为胞质内颗粒状荧光与弥散荧光同时存在.TPPSa2为典型的胞质内颗粒状荧光分布.光敏剂在SW480、K562两种肿瘤细胞的胞内分布没有明显差异.光照激发不同光敏剂对肿瘤细胞胞吞FITC-左旋糖酐的胞内分布影响不同.由TPPSa2及HMME活化而产生的光化学作用表现出明显的荧光颗粒重分布,ALA、ALA-HE则对胞吞荧光无明显重分布作用.结论不同光敏剂因其不同的理化性质而表现为不同的胞内分布.光化学作用可对肿瘤细胞胞吞大分子产生胞吞释放作用,其作用机制可能与光化学作用对胞吞泡的破坏有关.     

超高龄老年人脑损伤致伤因素分析及护理对策

目的 探讨老年人颅脑损伤的发病因素和护理措施.方法 对1999～2003年在解放军总医院定点就医的一组老年人群(年均18 492人)共210例颅脑损伤患者发病时的身体状况,发病率及受伤特点,病程及治疗和护理等临床资料进行回顾性总结.该组老年人在建档案时已被分为2个亚组:超高龄组年龄限(平均年龄79.75岁,1 978例)和老年组年龄限(平均年龄69.42岁,16514例).以同期其他人群的脑损伤187例作为对照组,并进行2组回顾资料的比较.结果 按意向处理分析397例均进入结果分析.发病率及受伤特点:超高龄组发病率明显高于老年组,多为摔伤;老年组和对照组均为交通伤占主要伤因.治疗及病程:对照组和老年组中均有超过80%患者接受手术治疗,而超高龄组仅有53.40%的患者接受手术治疗.预后:各组的死亡率和重残比率均无明显差别.结论 老年人群的脑损伤致伤原因主要是摔伤,同时多患有单器官或多器官的疾病;老年人脑损伤占用医疗资源多,但经积极治疗和采取有效的护理措施,仍可获得较好的疗效;回顾性资料记载超高龄组是能够检索到的国内外老年人脑损伤平均年龄最高的一组,对超高龄脑损伤的相关分析是有临床借鉴意义的.     

高压氧综合治疗持续植物状态30例疗效分析

目的评估高压氧综合治疗持续植物状态的疗效和探讨最佳治疗方案。方法回顾性分析了1999年—2005年应用高压氧治疗的30例持续植物状态病例,主要分析了原发病因、高压氧治疗次数以及高压氧治疗时机与疗效的关系。结果脑外伤组显效率和好转率明显高于非脑外伤组(P<0.05),开始治疗时间≤30d组及31～60d组好转率明显高于≥61d组(P<0.05)。结论高压氧综合治疗对脑外伤所致持续植物状态患者60d以内开始行高压氧治疗的患者疗效较好。     

利用口述史料研究中国近现代史的可能性——以山西省盂县日军性暴力研究为例

近年来,虽然遭遇阻力,但日本国内对于中日战争时期日军在华实施性暴力的调查、研究工作还是取得了重要进展。以石田米子为中心的调查小组经过长期不懈的努力,对当年日军在山西省盂县实施性暴力的事实进行了确证和揭露。本文在介绍石田小组的工作及其意义的同时,还对战时日军的性暴力活动进行了分类,并结合史学理论探讨了利用口述史料研究中国近现代史的意义与可能性。
