RESUMEN
Objective: To evaluate the mid-term effectiveness of limited unique coracoid osteotomy suture button fixation Latarjet (LU-tarjet) procedure in treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. Methods: Between March 2017 and February 2019, 56 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation were treated with arthroscopic LU-tarjet procedure. There were 44 males and 12 females with an average age of 26.3 years (range, 18-41 years). Shoulder joint dislocation occurred 2-16 times, with an average of 7.5 times. The time from the initial dislocation to operation ranged from 6 months to 13 years, with a median of 4.6 years. Preoperative shoulder joint fear test and re-reduction test were positive in all patients. The Beighton score of joint relaxation ranged from 1 to 7, with an average of 4.1. The shoulder Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS) ranged from 5 to 10, with an average of 7.8. The size of glenoid defects on the affected side ranged from 15% to 32% (mean, 22.4%). All patients had Hill-Sachs injuries of varying degrees. Six patients had re-dislocation after Bankart surgery. The operation time, incision healing, and postoperative complications were recorded. The range of motion (shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, external rotation, 90° external rotation, and internal rotation) and muscle strength in shoulder flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation) of shoulder joint were compared between pre- and post-operation. The improvement of shoulder function was evaluated using the American Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) score, Walch-Duplay score, and Rowe score. X-ray films and three-dimensional CT were used to analyze the location, healing, and remolding of bone graft, the repair of glenoid defect, and degenerative changes of the shoulder joint. Results: All operations were successfully completed. The operation time ranged from 42 to 98 minutes, with an average of 63 minutes. All incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 5-7 years (mean, 6.3 years). During follow-up, 2 patients experienced shoulder subluxation within 1 year after operation and 1 patient experienced recurrent shoulder joint pain. The remaining patients had no related complications. At last follow-up, there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in range of motion (shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, external rotation, 90° external rotation, and internal rotation) and muscle strength in shoulder flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation). The ASES score, Rowe score, and Walch-Duplay score of shoulder significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). Postoperative CT showed that 53 cases (94.64%) of coracoid bone masses were centered placed vertically, 2 cases (3.57%) were superior, and 1 case (1.79%) was inferior; 49 cases (87.50%) of the coracoid bone grafts were flush with the glenoid, 2 cases (3.57%) and 5 cases (8.93%) were medially and laterally positioned. The volume of coracoid bone graft decreased first and then increased, and the shape of the bone graft was continuously remodeling and gradually matched with the track of the humerus head (the optimal circle of the glenoid), all coracoid bone grafts healed. At last follow-up, the coverage rate of optimal glenoid circle was 89.6%-100%, with an average of 97.4%. The area of glenoid defect was 2.6%±1.3%, which significantly decreased when compared with preoperative (22.4%±5.4%) ( P<0.05). At last follow-up, no obvious degenerative changes of shoulder joint was observed. Conclusion: LU-tarjet procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation has good mid-term effectiveness with short operation time and few complications.

Objective: To investigate the morphological characteristics of the glenohumeral joint (including the glenoid and coracoid) in the Chinese population and determine the feasibility of designing coracoid osteotomy based on the preoperative glenoid defect arc length by constructing glenoid defect models and simulating suture button fixation Latarjet procedure. Methods: Twelve shoulder joint specimens from 6 adult cadavers donated voluntarily were harvested. First, whether the coracoacromial ligament and conjoint tendon connected was anatomically observed and their intersection point was identified. The vertical distance from the intersection point to the coracoid, the maximum allowable osteotomy length starting from the intersection point, and the maximum osteotomy angle were measured. Next, the anteroinferior glenoid defect models of different degrees were randomly constructed. The arc length and area of the glenoid defect were measured. Based on the arc length of the glenoid defect of the model, the size of coracoid oblique osteotomy was designed and the actual length and angle of the coracoid osteotomy were measured. A limited osteotomy suture button fixation Latarjet procedure with the coracoacromial ligament and pectoralis minor preservation was performed and the position of coracoid block was observed. Results: All shoulder joint specimens exhibited crossing fibers between the coracoacromial ligament and the conjoint tendon. The vertical distance from the tip of the coracoid to the coracoid return point was 24.8-32.2 mm (mean, 28.5 mm). The maximum allowable osteotomy length starting from the intersection point was 26.7-36.9 mm (mean, 32.0 mm). The maximum osteotomy angle was 58.8°-71.9° (mean, 63.5°). Based on the anteroinferior glenoid defect model, the arc length of the glenoid defect was 22.6-29.4 mm (mean, 26.0 mm); the ratio of glenoid defect was 20.8%-26.2% (mean, 23.7%). Based on the coracoid block, the length of the coracoid osteotomy was 23.5-31.4 mm (mean, 26.4 mm); the osteotomy angle was 51.3°-69.2° (mean, 57.1°). There was no significant difference between the arc length of the glenoid defect and the length of the coracoid osteotomy ( P>0.05). After simulating the suture button fixation Latarjet procedure, the highest points of the coracoid block (suture loop fixation position) in all models located below the optimal center point, with the bone block concentrated in the anteroinferior glenoid defect position. Conclusion: The size of the coracoid is generally sufficient to meet the needs of repairing larger glenoid defects. The oblique osteotomy with preserving the coracoacromial ligament may potentially replace the traditional Latarjet osteotomy method.

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the modified suture-button Latarjet procedure with coracoacromial ligament (CAL) and pectoralis minor (PM) preservation could achieve excellent outcomes at the 2-year follow-up. METHODS: During January 2019 to January 2021, the data of patients who underwent modified suture-button Latarjet with CAL and PM preservation in our department were collected. The glenoid bone loss of these patients was greater than 20% or greater than 10% with high demands for exercise. Partial coracoid osteotomy was based on the results of a preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography evaluation of the glenoid defect area and corresponding coracoid process morphology. The preoperative and postoperative clinical results were assessed. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was used to compare improvement in clinical outcomes. Graft-glenoid union and remodeling were assessed using postoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging was performed to confirm the integrity of the CAL and PM postoperatively. RESULTS: In total, 35 patients were included in this study; the mean follow-up time was 26.9 ± 1.9 months. No case of recurrent dislocation or sublaxity. Significant improvements were observed in mean visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain during motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Rowe score, and Walch-Duplay score (P < .001). The percentage of patients achieving at least an MCID improvement in clinical outcomes was VAS 85.71%, ASES 97.14%, Rowe 100%, and Walch-Duplay 97.14%. Thirty-three patients (94.3% of all cases) were able to return to their preoperative sport levels, 34 grafts (97.1%) achieved bone union (1 soft union) in 6.3 ± 2.2 months, and the coracoid grafts restored 97.1 ± 4.0% of the perfect-fitting circle at the last follow-up. Postoperative computed tomography scan showed that 31 grafts (88.6%) were placed ideally in vertical view. In the axial view, 25 grafts (82.9%) were flushed to the glenoid, whereas 1 and 5 grafts were fixed medially and laterally, respectively. The CAL and PM were visualized postoperatively. No arthropathy was observed in any patient at the last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The modified suture-button Latarjet procedure with CAL and PM preservation obtained good clinical and radiological results without recurrence or complications. A substantial number of patients (>85%) achieved the MCID for the VAS, ASES, Rowe, and Walch-Duplay scores. In addition, the malpositioned graft (17.1%) did not cause arthropathy of the joints at 2-year follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective case series.
RESUMEN
Objective: To testify the spatial relationship between the subscapularis muscle splitting window and the axillary nerve in modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, which could provide anatomical basis for the modification of the subscapularis muscle splitting. Methods: A total of 29 adult cadaveric shoulder specimens were dissected layer by layer, and the axillary nerve was finally confirmed to walk on the front surface of the subscapularis muscle. Keeping the shoulder joint in a neutral position, the Kirschner wire was passed through the subscapularis muscle from back to front at the 4 : 00 position of the right glenoid circle (7 : 00 position of the left glenoid circle), and the anterior exit point (point A, the point of splitting subscapularis muscle during Latarjet procedure) was recorded. The vertical and horizontal distances between point A and the axillary nerve were measured respectively. Results: In the neutral position of the shoulder joint, the distance between the point A and the axillary nerve was 27.37 (19.80, 34.55) mm in the horizontal plane and 16.67 (12.85, 20.35) mm in the vertical plane. Conclusion: In the neutral position of the shoulder joint, the possibility of axillary nerve injury will be relatively reduced when radiofrequency is taken from the 4 : 00 position of the right glenoid (7 : 00 position of the left glenoid circle), passing through the subscapularis muscle posteriorly and anteriorly and splitting outward.

Background: Insufficient blood supply results in unsatisfactory wound healing, especially for challenging wound repair such as diabetic wound defects. Regular exercise training brings a lot of benefits to cardiovascular fitness and metabolic health including attenuation of T2DM progression. Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are postulated to carry a variety of signals involved in tissue crosstalk by their modified cargoes, representing novel mechanisms for the effects of exercise. Prominently, both acute and chronic aerobic exercise training can promote the release of exercise-induced cytokines and enhance the angiogenic function of circulating angiogenic cell-derived EVs. Methods: We investigated the possible angiogenesis potential of aerobic exercise-induced circulating EVs (EXE-EVs) on diabetic wound healing. Circulating EVs were isolated from the plasma of rats subjected to 4 weeks of moderate aerobic exercise or sedentariness 24 h after the last training session. The therapeutic effect of circulating EVs was evaluated in vitro by proliferation, migration, and tube formation assays of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as in vivo by quantification of angiogenesis and cutaneous wound healing in diabetic rats. Results: The number of circulating EVs did not change significantly in exercised rats 24 h post-exercise in comparison with the sedentary rats. Nevertheless, EXE-EVs showed remarkable pro-angiogenic effect by augmenting proliferation, migration, and tube formation of HUVECs. Furthermore, the findings of animal experiments revealed that the EXE-EVs delivered by decellularized dermal matrix hydrogel (DDMH) could significantly promote the repair of skin defects through stimulating the regeneration of vascularized skin. Discussion: The present study is the first attempt to demonstrate that aerobic exercise-induced circulating EVs could be utilized as a cell-free therapy to activate angiogenesis and promote diabetic wound healing. Our findings suggest that EXE-EVs may stand for a potential strategy for diabetic soft tissue wound repair.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mid-term effect of lateral placement of bone graft on shoulder joint degeneration after modified arthroscopic Latarjet surgery with elastic fixation for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with an anterior glenoid bone defect. METHODS: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation and anterior glenoid bone defect who received the modified arthroscopic Latarjet surgery with elastic fixation between January 2015 and November 2016 were enrolled in this study. There were 12 males and 6 females with an average age of 26.2 years (range, 19-37 years). The number of shoulder dislocation ranged from 4 to 30 times (mean, 8.8 times). The disease duration was 8-49 months (mean, 23.8 months). The mean anterior glenoid bone defect was 25.2% of the glenoid surface (range, 20%-29%). The mean preoperative Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS) was 7.6 (range, 7-10). According to Samilson-Prieto classification, the shoulder joint degeneration was rated as grade 0 in 13 cases, grade â in 3 cases, and grade â ¡ in 2 cases. Before and after operation, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) score, Walch-Duplay score, Rowe score, and shoulder mobility were used to evaluate the effectiveness. Imaging examination was performed to observe the shoulder joint degeneration, the position of the bone graft, and the postoperative shaping of the scapular glenoid. RESULTS: All patients were followed up 55-62 months, with an average of 59.6 months. There was no neurovascular injuries, infections, fixation-related and bone graft-related complications. No re-dislocation and revision occurred. All patients returned to normal life, 17 of whom returned to sport. The VAS score was significantly decreased and ASES, Walch-Duplay, and Rowe scores were significantly improved at last follow-up ( P<0.05). No significant difference was found in range of motion of forward flexion, abduction, lateral rotation at 90° abduction, internal rotation at 90° abduction, or lateral rotation at 0° between pre- and post-operation ( P>0.05). Three-dimensional CT showed that the centers of all bone grafts were between 3â¶30 and 4â¶30 (right shoulder) or between 7â¶40 and 8â¶20 (left shoulder) and no bone grafts were positioned superiorly or inferiorly in the glenoid En-face view. All bone grafts were positioned lateral to the scapular glenoid with an average distance of 3.5 mm (range, 2.3-4.6 mm) in cross-sectional imaging by CT. Compared with the preoperative Samilson-Prieto classification results, all cases showed no progression of shoulder joint degeneration at 36, 48 months and last follow-up. All bone grafts remodeled to a steady state within 24 months after operation. The bone graft and glenoid finally remodeled analogous to the shape of the intact glenoid in the En-face view and became flush with the glenoid rim, remodeling to a curved shape congruent to the humeral head in cross-sectional imaging by CT. The shape of the remodeled glenoid at last follow-up was not significantly different from that at 24 months after operation. CONCLUSION: The lateral placement of the bone graft during modified arthroscopic Latarjet surgery with elastic fixation do not accelerate the imaging changes of shoulder joint degeneration.

BACKGROUND: Graft impingement is one of the main concerns in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (DB-ACLR). Impingement between the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles has been postulated to cause graft deterioration or rerupture, but this has not been thoroughly investigated, and the interbundle impingement pressure (IIP) has not been well researched. PURPOSE: To determine the IIP between the AM and PL bundles in the native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and in DB-ACLR with individualized and nonindividualized double-tunnel placement. STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study. METHODS: A total of 30 fresh-frozen, nonpaired, human cadaveric knees were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 knees: native intact ACL (NI group), DB-ACLR tunnel placement using the preserved remnant procedure (individualized reconstruction) (PR group), and DB-ACLR tunnel placement using the bony landmark procedure (nonindividualized reconstruction) (BL group). Pressure sensors were inserted between the AM and PL bundles. The knee was moved passively from full extension to full flexion, and the IIP between the 2 ACL bundles was measured every 15°. Similarly, the impingement pressure was measured between the ACL and intercondylar roof and between the ACL and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). RESULTS: No significant differences were found in the maximum, mean, or minimum ACL-roof and ACL-PCL impingement pressures among the 3 groups. The IIP significantly increased when the knee joint was flexed >120° in all 3 groups (P < .001). Compared with the other 2 groups, the BL group had significantly higher maximum and mean IIP throughout the range of knee movement (P < .001) and from maximum extension to 120° of flexion (P < .001). The BL group also had significantly higher minimum IIP than the other 2 groups when knee flexion was >120° (P < .001). No significant differences were seen in maximum, minimum, or mean IIP between the NI and PR groups. CONCLUSION: The PR procedure (individualized DB-ACLR) was more consistent with the interbundle biomechanical conditions of the native ACL, whereas the BL procedure (nonindividualized DB-ACLR) had higher maximum and mean IIP. The IIP was higher than the ACL-intercondylar roof or ACL-PCL pressures, and it increased significantly when knee flexion was >120°. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These data suggest that surgeons can perform individualized DB-ACLR using preserved remnants for tunnel placement as impingement-free DB-ACLR.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether coracoacromial ligament release during the Latarjet procedure will increase superior translation of the shoulder joint. PURPOSE: To evaluate whether a modified suture button Latarjet procedure can decrease the acromiohumeral distance (AHD). STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted among 155 patients who underwent a modified suture button Latarjet procedure between 2013 and 2015. AHD was measured on bilateral computed tomography scans taken preoperatively and on scans of the affected shoulder taken on postoperative day 1 and postoperative month (POM) 6, POM 36, and POM 60. At each time point, we recorded pain on a visual analog scale (VAS) and objective shoulder function using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Rowe, and Walch-Duplay scores. Preoperative and final follow-up VAS and functional scores were compared using the paired t test. Pairwise comparison of AHD values at each follow-up time point were compared with the preoperative intact side using the paired t test. Intra- and interobserver reproducibility of the AHD measurements was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS: A total of 104 patients who met the criteria completed the final follow-up, which occurred at 62.6 ± 2.4 months (mean ± SD). When compared with presurgery, the VAS and all functional scores improved significantly at the last follow-up (P < .001 for all). Intra- and interobserver intraclass correlation coefficients indicated good reliability for the ADH measurements. Preoperatively, there were no differences in AHD values between the intact and affected shoulders (7.8 ± 0.8 mm for both; P = .851). The AHD values at postoperative day 1 and POM 6, POM 36, and POM 60 were 9.6 ± 0.7 mm, 8.6 ± 0.9 mm, 8.0 ± 0.8 mm, and 7.9 ± 0.8 mm, respectively, all of which were larger than those of the preoperative intact side (P < .001 for all). CONCLUSION: The modified suture button Latarjet procedure not only offered satisfactory therapeutic effects but also did not decrease the AHD at 5-year follow-up.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the value of the cortical endo-button as an internal fixator in Latarjet procedure through biomechanical analysis. METHODS: Ten pairs of shoulder joints from 6-7 months old male pigs were selected. Each pair was randomly divided into screw group and endo-button group. A 25% glenoid defect model was created, and the porcine infraspinatus tendon and its associated bone were used to simulate conjoint tendon and coracoid process in human body. The bone grafts were fixed with two 3.5 mm screws and double cortical endo-buttons with high-strength sutures in screw group and endo-button group, respectively. The prepared glenoid defect model was fixed on a biomechanical test bench and optical markers were fixed on the glenoid and the bone block, respectively. Then fatigue test was performed to observe whether the graft or internal fixator would failed. During the test, the standard deviations of the relative displacement between the graft and the glenoid of two groups were measured by optical motion measure system for comparison. Finally the maximum failure load comparison was conducted and the maximum failure loads of the two groups were measured and compared. RESULTS: There was no tendon tear, bone fracture, and other graft or internal fixation failure in the two groups during the fatigue test. The standard deviation of the relative displacement of the screw group was (0.007 87±0.001 44) mm, and that of the endo-button group was (0.034 88±0.011 10) mm, showing significant difference between the two groups ( t=7.682, P=0.000). The maximum failure load was (265±39) N in screw group and (275±52) N in endo-button group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=1.386, P=0.199). There were 3 ways of failure: rupture at bone graft's tunnel (6/10 from screw group, 3/10 from endo-button group), tendon tear at the cramp (2/10 from screw group, 2/10 from endo-button group), and tendon tear at the internal fixator interface (2/10 from screw group, 5/10 from endo-button group), showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.395). CONCLUSION: Although the endo-button fixation fails to achieve the same strong fixation stability as the screw fixation, its fixation stability can achieve the clinical requirements. The two fixation methods can provide similar fixation strength when being used in Latarjet procedure.

According to previous studies, linc-UBC1 is abnormally expressed in various human tumours. Nonetheless, the clinical significance and mechanism of linc-UBC1 in cancer remains unclear. In our present analysis, we wanted to explore the specific role of linc-UBC1 in malignant tumours by integrating all of the relevant literature and subsequently elucidating the relationship between linc-UBC1 expression level and clinical characteristics of cancers. An elaborate database search of PubMed, Embase, Wanfang Data, Web of Science, Ovid, Medline, Cochrane Library and PMC was carried out up to 8 August 2019. We further applied the pooled odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratio (HR) to evaluate OS. After filtering by strict criteria, 11 studies containing 1017 cases were included in this analysis. Our results implied that high expression of linc-UBC1 was obviously related to poor OS in cancer (HR =1.735, 95% 1.348-2.235, p < .001 random effects model). Analogously, the data revealed that high expression of linc-UBC1 was highly correlated with lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.912, 95% CI: 2.056-4.125, p < .001 fix effects model) and high tumour stage (OR = 2.678, 95% CI: 1.859-3.857, p < .001 fix effects model). In summary, linc-UBC1 overexpression is associated with poor OS and advanced tumour stage and could be used as a novel prognostic biomarker in various cancers.

Latarjet osteotomy is still one of the most reliable and commonly used surgeries in treating recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. The coracoid process (CP) is the main structure of this surgery. However, the blood supply of CP is not fully understood, and the extent of destruction of blood supply of coracoid bone graft after Latarjet osteotomy procedure is still controversial. Five embalmed cadaveric upper limbs specimens were employed for macro observation of the blood supply of CP. The conjoint tendon (CT) and CP interface were dissected for histology. Sixteen fresh frozen shoulder specimens were used for perfusion and micro CT scanning. Eight specimens were used to present the whole vessel structure of CP. The other eight underwent Latarjet osteotomy procedure. The coracoid bone grafts in both groups were scanned to clarify the remnant blood supply. It was found that the CP was nourished by supra-scapular artery (SSA), thoracic-acromial artery and branch from second portion of the axillary artery (AA). After Latarjet osteotomy procedure, no artery from CT was detected to penetrate the CP at its attachment. Only in one specimen the blood vessel that originated from the CT penetrated the bone graft at the inferior side. Therefore, most of the blood supply was destroyed although there is a subtle possibility that the vessels derived from the CT nourished the inferior side of the CP. In a nutshell, CP is a structure with rich blood supply. The traditional Latarjet osteotomy procedure would inevitably cut off the blood supply of the coracoid bone graft.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of isokinetic training of thigh muscle group on graft remodeling after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and summarize the relevant rules to guide the clinic. METHODS: Between August 2016 and December 2016, forty patients underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon were randomly divided into isokinetic group and control group ( n=20). The two groups of patients underwent staged rehabilitation treatment. The isokinetic group replaced the traditional intervention with the corresponding isokinetic strength training from 3 to 6 months after operation, and the traditional rehabilitation intervention was used in the control group. Finally, 12 cases of isokinetic group and 12 cases of control group with complete follow-up were enrolled in study. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, side of injury, the interval between injury and operation, and preoperative International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score between the two groups ( P>0.05). The peak torque (PT) of knee extension and flexion and hamstring quadriceps ratio (H/Q) were measured at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and the second-look arthroscopy. The MRI examination was performed at the same time to evaluate graft remodeling. The shape, tension, and degree of vascularization of grafts were observed under arthroscopy. The grafts were harvested and observed by HE staining. RESULTS: The invertal between ACL reconstruction and the second-look arthroscopy was (23.57±3.23) months in isokinetic group and (23.22±3.56) months in control group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). At the second-look arthroscopy, the IKDC score was 90.45±4.73 in isokinetic group and 89.32±4.54 in control group, showing significant differences when compared with preoperative scores in the two groups ( P<0.05). But there was no significant difference between the two groups ( t=0.868ï¼ P=0.404). At 3 months after operation, there was no significant difference in the PT of knee extension and flexion between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 6 months, 12 months, and the second-look arthroscopy, the PT of knee extension and flexion in isokinetic group were higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). The H/Q at 6 months and 12 months were higher in isokinetic group than in control group, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MRI score between the two groups at 3 months, 6 months, and the second-look arthroscopy ( P>0.05). The MRI score at 12 months was significantly higher in isokinetic group than in control group ( P<0.05). At the second-look arthroscopy, there was no significant difference in the arthroscopic score between the two groups ( P>0.05), and the histological score of the isokinetic group was superior to the control group ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION: On the basis of regular rehabilitation training, using the isokinetic training system to develop a suitable post-surgical isokinetic rehabilitation training program is helpful in early muscle strength recovery, early graft remodeling, and even long-term histological results after ACL reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between the Mohawk (MKX) expression level and the collagen fiber diameter of autologous hamstring tendon graft during the stable graft remodeling phase after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: Between January 2018 and August 2018, patients who underwent arth-roscopic single-bundle anatomical ACL reconstruction with autologous hamstring tendons for at least 48 months and also underwent second-look arthroscopy were enrolled in study. During the second-look arthroscopic procedures, ACL graft biopsies were performed from the surface of central part of the ligament. MKX expressions of ACL grafts were analysed by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The ultrastructure of collagen fibers of grafts were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, which included average diameter of collagen fibers (D c), average diameter of large-diameter collagen fibers (D L), average diameter of small-diameter collagen fibers (D S), and large-small collagen fibers ratio (R L/S). The correlation between MKX expression level and graft collagen fiber diameter was calculated. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients met the selection criteria and their ACL graft specimens were enrolled in the study. The interval between ACL reconstruction and second-look arthroscopy was 52-128 months, with an average of 78.6 months. Arthroscopic graft remodeling score was 3-6 (mean, 4.8). There were 17 cases of excellent remodeling and 9 cases of fair remodeling. All ACL grafts showed typical bimodal distributions of both large-diameter collagen fibers and small-diameter collagen fibers, but the ultrastructural characteristics of the graft collagen fibers were different according to different remodeling status under arthroscopy. The D C, D L, D S, and R L/S of the graft specimens were (65.2±9.3) nm, (91.6±10.5) nm, (45.7±8.6) nm, and 0.73±0.12, respectively. The relative expression level of MKX was 1.42±0.11, which was positively linearly correlated with D C, D L, and R L/S, and the correlation coefficient was statistically significant ( r=0.809, P=0.000; r=0.861, P=0.000; r=0.942, P=0.000), while there was no significant correlation between D S and relative expression level of MKX ( r=0.147, P=0.238). Regression analysis showed that the relative expression level of MKX could predict the D C, D L, and R L/S results of the ACL graft specimens ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION: After autologous hamstring tendon grafts stepped into stabilized remodeling phase, MKX expression level could predict the diameter measurement results of collagen fibers and be used as an important evaluation basis for graft collagen anabolic metabolism.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of surgical treatment for anterior shoulder dislocation and combined injuries. METHODS: The related literature was reviewed, and the surgical treatment options for the anterior shoulder dislocation and its combined injuries were summarized. RESULTS: Anterior shoulder dislocation can combine with anteroinferior capsular ligament complex injury (Bankart injury), bony Bankart defect, and Hill-Sachs lesion. For Bankart and bony Bankart injuries, arthroscopic repair or coracoid osteotomy combined with bony graft reconstruction can be performed. For Hill-Sachs lesion, conservative treatment, soft tissue repair, or bony reconstruction should be selected based on the extent of the bone defect. For bipolar injury, the Bankart repair, Remplissage, or arthroplasty should be selected based on the extent of the glenoid defect. CONCLUSION: With the development of arthroscopy and the improvement of the surgical concept, there is a complete set of surgical options for various injuries of the anterior shoulder dislocation. When choosing a surgical procedure, the patient's specific injury and age, exercise level, and other relating factors should be comprehensively assessed in order to achieve the best results.

Objective: To investigate the histological characteristics of autogenous hamstring grafts after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods: The patients who underwent arthroscopic single-bundle ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring tendons and were followed up at least 4 years and also underwent second-look arthroscopy between March 2017 and December 2017 and met the selection criteria were considered for enrollment. Graft quality under arthroscopy was evaluated as good remodeling group (GRG, the total scores were 4-6) and poor remodeling group (PRG, the total scores were 1-3) according to synovial and vascular coverage, the apparent tension of the grafts, the thickness and retear of the grafts. During the second-look arthroscopic procedures, ACL graft biopsies were performed. Normal ACL tissues harvested from the patients under 60 years old who underwent total knee arthroplasty were designated as normal controls. Graft vascularity, cellular morphology, cellular metabolism, and collagen fibril distribution were analyzed. Results: The 18 specimens (11 cases of GRG group and 7 cases of PRG group) and 9 native ACL biopsied tissue sample were enrolled into the study. Arthroscopy scores were 2-6 (mean, 4.7). The biology under light microscopy of GRG group was similar to that of native ACL in control group. There was no significant difference in the scores of graft vascularity and cellular morphology between GRG group and control group ( P>0.05), while PRG group was significantly lower than the other two groups ( P<0.05). Transmission electron microscope evaluation showed that GRG group and control group had better collagen fibril distribution and lower levels of cellular metabolism than PRG group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in cellular metabolism between GRG and control groups ( P>0.05), while collagen fibril distribution score of GRG group was significantly lower than that of control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion: While good remodeling grafts under arthroscopy in histological maturation period was proved to be more similar to normal ACL on ultrastructure properties under light and electron microscope, ultra structural differences regarding collagen fibril distribution still persist.

PURPOSE: Long non-coding RNA colon cancer-associated transcript-1 (CCAT1) is newly found to be related with diagnoses and prognosis of cancer. This meta-analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between CCAT1 expression and clinical parameters, including survival condition, lymph node metastasis and tumor node metastasis grade. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The primary literatures were collected through initial search criteria from electronic databases, including PubMed, OVID Evidence-based medicine Reviews and others (up to May 12, 2017). Eligible studies were identified and selected by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was extracted and computed into Hazard ratio (HR) for the assessment of overall survival, subgroup analyses were prespecified based on the digestive tract cancer or others. Analysis of different CCAT1 expression related with lymph node metastasis or tumor node metastasis grade was conducted. Risk of bias was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS: 9 studies were included. This meta-analysis showed that high CCAT1 expression level was related to poor overall survival, the pooled HR was 2.42 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.86-3.16; P < 0.001; fix- effects model), similarly in the cancer type subgroups: digestive tract cancer (HR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.79-3.29; P < 0.001; fix- effects model) and others (HR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.42-4.13; P = 0.001; fix- effects model). The analysis showed that high CCAT1 was strongly related to positive lymph node metastasis (Odds ratio, OR: 3.24; 95% CI, 2.04-5.16; P < 0.001; fix- effects model), high tumor node metastasis stage (OR, 3.87; 95% CI, 2.53-5.92; P < 0.001; fix- effects model). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this meta-analysis revealed that CCAT1 had potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in various cancers.
