RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Ticagrelor is a novel receptor antagonist that selectively binds to the P2Y12 receptor, thereby inhibiting adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-mediated platelet aggregation. Compared to clopidogrel, ticagrelor has the advantages of a fast onset, potent effects, and a reversible platelet inhibition function, which make this drug clinically suitable for treating acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). OBJECTIVE: This review was performed to determine the basic characteristics, clinical effects, and adverse reactions of ticagrelor. METHODS: Relevant trials and reports were obtained from the MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. RESULTS: Ticagrelor is rapidly absorbed by the body after oral administration, exhibits inherent activity without requiring metabolic activation, and binds reversibly to the P2Y12 receptor. Ticagrelor has been recommended in ACS treatment guidelines worldwide due to its advantageous pharmacological properties and significant clinical benefits. Ticagrelor inhibits platelet aggregation, inhibits inflammatory response, enhances adenosine function, and has cardioprotective effects. However, ticagrelor also causes adverse reactions such as bleeding tendency, dyspnea, ventricular pause, gout, kidney damage, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in clinical treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to risk assessments when using ticagrelor. CONCLUSION: Ticagrelor is a promising drug for the effective treatment of ACS. When using ticagrelor, individualized treatment should be provided based on the specific conditions of the patients to avoid serious adverse events.
RESUMO
The purpose of this paper was to unravel the clinical effect analysis of different doses of creatine phosphate sodium (CPS) combined with immunoglobulin in the treatment of pediatric viral myocarditis (VMC). One hundred and twenty children with VMC were recruited and randomized into three groups (40 patients each). Group I received 1.0 g of CPS dissolved in 100 mL of 5% glucose injection intravenously 1 time/day; group II received 1.25 g of CPS dissolved in 125 mL of 5% glucose injection intravenously 1 time/day; group III received 1.5 g of CPS dissolved in 150 mL of 5% glucose injection intravenously 1 time/day; then all three groups were treated with combined use of immunoglobulin (300-400 mg/day) intravenously once a day; and all three groups were treated for 14 days. The clinical efficacy, cardiac function, serum inflammatory factor levels, immune function, and the occurrence of drug toxicity and adverse effects of the children in the three groups were compared after 14 days of treatment. All three groups achieved better therapeutic effects after treatment, in which the effective rate of the Group II and Group III was notably higher versus the Group I. Lower levels of cTnI, CK-MB, LDH, AST, IL-18, IL-6, IFN-γ, and LVEDD and higher CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+, FS, and LVEF values were noted in the Group II and Group III versus the Group I, and the results were more pronounced in the high-dose group. The liver and kidney functions of the children in the three groups before and after treatment did not show any significant changes and the incidence of adverse reactions during the treatment period was low in all three groups. Children with VMC can be treated with high-dose CPS in combination with immunoglobulin, which can improve their cardiac function and immune function and reduce the inflammatory response with good overall therapeutic efficacy and fewer adverse effects.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of acupoint catgut embedding in the treatment of allergic rhinitis by Meta-analysis. METHODS: Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, Elsevier, CNKI, and VIP databases were searched for clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTS) on acupoint catgut embedding for allergic rhinitis from the establishment of the database to December 30, 2022. RevMan5.4 and Stata12 software were used for Meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 17 articles were included, involving 1231 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of acupoint catgut embedding for allergic rhinitis was higher than that of the control group [Pooled Odds Ratio = 5.19, 95%CI (3.14, 8.58), P < 0.00001]. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the total effective rate of acupoint catgut embedding in the treatment of allergic rhinitis was stable. The efficacy of the acupoint embedding group was better than that of the western medicine group [OR = 5.78, 95%CI (3.25, 10.27), P < 0.00001]. Acupoint embedding decreased serum IL-33 levels [MD = -70.79, 95%CI (-102.60, -38.98), P < 0.0001] and improved TNNSS score [MD = -0.25, 95%CI (-0.40, -0.11), P = 0.0005] was statistically different from the control group. CONCLUSION: Acupoint catgut embedding in the treatment of allergic rhinitis has a certain effect, but the accuracy of this conclusion still needs to be verified by higher-quality RCT in the later stage.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of atorvastatin calcium combined with clopidogrel in the treatment of patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and its effect on blood lipids and platelets. METHODS: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], platelet-related parameters [prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), platelet count (PLT)], incidence of cerebral infarction, and adverse reactions. RESULTS: The clinical outcomes of the experimental group patients were significantly better than those of the control group patients (p < 0.05). The experimental group exhibited notably lower levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Platelet-related indices-PT, APTT, and PLT-showed no significant differences between groups before and after treatment (p > 0.05). The incidence of cerebral infarction was notably lower in the experimental group (p < 0.005), while the occurrence of adverse reactions showed no significant difference between groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Atorvastatin calcium combined with clopidogrel demonstrates a positive impact on individuals with TIAs by significantly lowering levels of LDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. However, it is noteworthy that platelet-related indices did not exhibit significant differences between the experimental and control groups. While the observed improvements in blood lipids are attributed to the effects of atorvastatin, the combination with clopidogrel did not show a substantial influence on platelet-related parameters. Thus, the overall therapeutic impact, particularly on platelet-related indices, may require further investigation and clarification. Despite these nuances, our findings suggest potential benefits in reducing the risk of adverse reactions and cerebral infarction, supporting the consideration of this approach for wider clinical use.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The search for more effective and safe treatment methods for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) has led to the rapid development and increasing popularity of minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy (MI-PCF). This study aims to compare two important approaches for MI-PCF surgery: the channel-assisted cervical key hole technology combined with ultrasonic bone osteotome (CKH-UBO) and posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical foraminotomy (PPECF). METHODS: Data from patients treated with single-level CKH-UBO (n = 35) or PPECF (n = 40) were analyzed. Clinical outcomes, including visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for neck and arm pain, Neck Disability Index (NDI), and modified Macnab criteria, were assessed preoperatively, as well as at three days, three months, and one year postoperatively. RESULTS: The percentages of patients with excellent and good outcomes were 97.14% and 92.5%, respectively. The average surgical time in the CKH-UBO group was significantly shorter than in the PPECF group (p < 0.001), while the average incision length in the PPECF group was significantly smaller than in the CKH-UBO group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of blood loss, hospital stay, and clinical outcomes at three days, three months, and 12 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: CKH-UBO can achieve the same surgical outcomes as PPECF for the treatment of CSR. However, CKH-UBO saves more time but requires patients to undergo larger incisions.

Objective: To evaluate the impact and clinical effect of high-quality nursing intervention on the quality of life of elderly cataract patients and its clinical effect. Methods: This is a clinical comparative study. One hundred and twenty elderly cataract patients admitted to Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital for surgical treatment were recruited and randomly divided into two groups: the control and experimental group, with 60 cases in each group from January 15, 2021 to January 15, 2022. Patients in the control group were given conventional nursing care in the perioperative period, while those in the experimental group were given high-quality nursing intervention in the perioperative period. The differences in anxiety (SAS) scores, depression (SDS) scores, intraocular pressure (IOP) recovery, the incidence of surgical complications and satisfaction before and after treatment between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in physical functioning, psychological functioning, social functioning and material life status scores before intervention(P>0.05). After the intervention, the above indicators improved significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (P=0.00). Moreover, SAS and SDS decreased significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences(P=0.00). Conclusions: High-quality nursing intervention improves various benefits in the treatment of elderly cataract patients, such as effectively reducing intraocular pressure, ameliorating patients' quality of life, lowering the incidence of postoperative complications, and improving patient satisfaction.
RESUMO
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine injection in the treatment of acute heart failure. PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, and SinoMed were searched for the randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicines in the treatment of acute heart failure with the time interval from the inception to July 10, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. Stata 15.1 was used to perform network Meta-analysis. A total of 117 RCTs were included, involving 10 529 patients and 7 Chinese medicine injections: Shenfu Injection, Shenmai Injection, Danhong Injection, Puera-rin Injection, Xinmailong Injection, Shengmai Injection, and Yiqi Fumai Injection. Network Meta-analysis yielded the following results.(1) In terms of improving the total response rate, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) ranking was Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventio-nal western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(2)In terms of reducing brain natriuretic peptide(BNP), the SUCRA ranking was Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional wes-tern medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(3)In terms of reducing N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), the SUCRA ranking was Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(4) In terms of improving the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), the SUCRA ranking was Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(5) In terms of decreasing the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD), the SUCRA ranking was Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine=Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine.(6) In terms of increasing the 6-min walk trail(6MWT), the SUCRA ranking was Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(7) In terms of reducing the Minnesota heart failure quality of life scale(MLHFQ) scores, the SUCRA ranking was Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(8)In terms of safety, the group of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicine had lower incidence of adverse reactions than the control group. The current evidence shows that combining Chinese medicine injection with conventional western medicine treatment can improve the therapeutic effect on acute heart failure, with high safety. Due to the limited number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies.

BACKGROUND: Metastatic bone lesions in the extremities can cause severe pain and pathological fractures, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Timely intervention and effective management of long bone metastases can positively influence patient outcomes, including survival rates and subsequent treatment options. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and associated complications of two surgical reconstruction techniques and propose a more effective limb reconstruction approach for long bone metastases. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 28 patients with complete clinical data who underwent a surgical procedure for long bone metastases of the extremities in our department between January 2017 and June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups based on their surgical methods. In group 1, the affected bones were curetted and filled with cement, then secured with plates or intramedullary nails. In group 2, the affected bone segments were completely removed and replaced with custom intercalary prostheses. Various factors, including general patient information, surgical details, surgical effectiveness, and common complications, were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in general patient information between the two groups, including age, gender, surgical site, and primary tumor type. The operative times were 115.37 min for group 1 and 108.90 min for group 2, respectively (p > 0.05). However, intraoperative blood loss differed significantly between the groups, with 769 ml in group 1 and 521 ml in group 2 (p < 0.05). The postoperative MSTS scores were 91% for group 1 and 92% for group 2 (p > 0.05). Postoperative complications included two cases of internal fixation failure and three cases of tumor recurrence in group 1, resulting in a 33% incidence rate, while group 2 experienced a 15% incidence rate with two cases of internal fixation failure. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that both surgical techniques are effective for the treatment of long bone metastases of the extremities. However, the custom intercalary prostheses technique in group 2 showed a lower incidence of complications and less intraoperative blood loss. Therefore, it may be a more effective limb reconstruction approach for long bone metastases. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.

Objective: To compare and analyze the clinical effects of microscopic surgery and conventional surgery in children with penile hypospadias and the differences in postoperative urodynamic indexes. Methods: It was a clinical comparative study. A total of 80 children with penile hypospadias admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University Baoding Hospital from July 2018 to September 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two group. The experimental group were treated with microscopic urethroplasty, while the control group were treated with traditional urethroplasty. The operative effect, operation time, total intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and incidence of surgical complications were compared and analyzed between the two groups. All the children were followed up for two years, and the changes in urodynamic parameters including maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), average urine flow rate (Qavc), urine flow time (FT), peak time (TQmax) and residual urine (PVR) were compared before, two weeks after, six months after and two years after surgery. Results: The efficacy of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p=0.013). The intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group (p=0.000). The incidences of urinary leakage and urethral stricture in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). The Qmax level in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group at six months and two years after surgery, while the FT level was lower than that of the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Microscopic surgery is a method with significant clinical value in the treatment of penile hypospadias.
RESUMO
Objective: To determine the clinical effect of lateral rectus abdominis approach and modified Stoppa approach for the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the case data of 30 patients with acetabular fractures admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics of Hengshui City People's Hospital from June 2017 to June 2021. According to the surgical methods, the enrolled patients were divided into the lateral rectus abdominis approach group (observation group) and the modified Stoppa approach group (control group), with 15 patients in each group. Further comparison was made on the incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of stay in the hospital, fracture reduction, hip joint function, neurological recovery, and postoperative complications between the two groups. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in the length of stay in the hospital, hip joint function score, fracture reduction quality, and excellent-to-good rate of hip joint function (p>0.05). There were significant differences in incision length, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative motor and touch function scores, and postoperative complication rate between the observation group and the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical effect of the lateral rectus abdominis approach is close to that of the modified Stoppa approach for the surgical treatment of acetabular fracture patients. However, and importantly, surgery through the lateral rectus abdominis approach has less trauma, shorter operation time, lower surgical complications, and good postoperative functional recovery.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim: To analyze the quality of medical services provided to asthma patients as the stage of rehabilitation treatment and their legal support. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: A total 237 patients with asthma were examined on the basis of the SDC "Rehabilitation" of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in Uzhhorod which has an accreditation. All patients were divided into three groups, depending on the type of rehabilitation treatment. The quality of the provision of medical services in rehabilitation in the treatment of asthma patients was evaluated by the percentage of positive clinical effect. RESULTS: Results: The quality of medical services provided in 237 patients with asthma after the rehabilitation treatment was different in percentages of positive clinical effect in different treatment complexes. In the first complex it amounted to 56.2%, in the complex two - 55.5%. These two monotherapy complexes proved to be ineffective rehabilitation services. Highly specialized for each phenotype of asthma rehabilitation service was of high quality and established in the third treatment complex 88.9% and for each asthma phenotype ranged from 87.3% to 93,4%. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: For the provision of quality rehabilitation services for asthma patients the existing regulatory acts are not enough, it is necessary to rely on international recommendations to specify the provision of differentiated treatment for different disease phenotypes.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical effect of different immunosuppressive treatment regimens in children with ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 130 children with OMG who were treated in the Department of Neurology, Jiangxi Children's Hospital, from February 2018 to February 2023. According to the treatment regimen, they were divided into four groups: glucocorticoid (GC) group (n=29), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) group (GC+MMF; n=33), methotrexate (MTX) group (GC+MTX; n=30), and tacrolimus (FK506) group (GC+FK506; n=38). Treatment outcomes and adverse reactions were compared among the groups. RESULTS: After 3 months of treatment, the FK506 group had significantly lower scores of Myasthenia Gravis Quantitative Scale and Myasthenia Gravis-Specific Activities of Daily Living than the other three groups (P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment, the FK506 group had a significantly lower dose of prednisone than the GC group, and after 6 and 9 months of treatment, the MMF, MTX, and FK506 groups had a significantly lower dose of prednisone than the GC group (P<0.05). After 12 months of treatment, the MMF, MTX, and FK506 groups had a significantly lower incidence rate of GC-related adverse reactions than the GC group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: For children with OMG, the addition of various immunosuppressants can reduce the dosage of GC and adverse reactions. Among them, FK506 shows superior efficacy compared to other immunosuppressants in the early treatment of OMG.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of modified colonoscopy nursing pads in colonoscopy. METHODS: A total of 262 subjects who underwent colonoscopy at our endoscopy center between September 1, 2021 and February 28, 2022 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 131 cases in each group. The control group used conventional nursing pads, while the experimental group used modified nursing pads. The success rate of the first correct position, the time spent by the nurse to guide the correct position, the bed unit contamination rate, the contamination rate of the operator's protective equipment, the privacy protection of the examinees and the satisfaction degree after the examination were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The success rate of the first correct position of the examinees in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and the time spent by the nurses to guide the correct position in the experimental group was less than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The bed unit contamination rate and operator's protective equipment contamination rate of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, and the satisfaction degree of the examinees was higher in the experimental group than in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The modified colonoscopy nursing pad can save the time of correct colonoscopy positioning of examinees, improve the efficiency of colonoscopy, reduce the workload of nursing staff, effectively protect the privacy of patients, reduce the bed unit contamination and protective equipment contamination, and then improve the comfort and satisfaction of patients.

BACKGROUND: The best intervention approach for residual choledocholithiasis after choledocholithotomy T-tube drainage remains controversial, especially during the period of indwelling T tube and the formation of a sinus. The purpose of the study was to estimate the effects of two therapeutic modalities, namely endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and choledochfiberscope via the T-tube sinus tract (CDS) on residual choledocholithiasis after choledocholithotomy T-tube drainage. METHODS: A total of 112 patients with residual choledocholithiasis after choledochotomy were included in the study, 50 of which underwent ERCP and 62 patients experienced choledochoscopy via the T-tube sinus tract. The primary outcome measures included the success rate of remove biliary stones, T-tube drainage time, and the average length of hospital stay. The secondary objective was to consider incidence of adverse events including cholangitis, bile leakage, T-tube migration, pancreatitis, bleeding and perforation. After hospital discharge, patients were followed up for two years and the recurrence of choledocholithiasis was recorded. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the success rate of stone removal between the two groups. Compared to CDS group, T-tube drainage time and the average length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the ERCP group. The incidence of complications (cholangitis and bile leakage) in the ERCP group was lower than that in the CDS group, but there was no statistically significant difference. When the T-tube sinus tract is not maturation, ERCP was the more appropriate endoscopic intervention to remove residual choledocholithiasis, particularly complicated with cholangitis at this time period. CONCLUSIONS: ERCP is a safe and effective endoscopic intervention to remove residual choledocholithiasis after choledocholithotomy T-tube Drainage without the condition of T-tube sinus tract restriction.

BACKGROUND: Ninety percent of tumour patients have negative emotions during or after anti-tumour treatment, resulting in depression. Western medicine antidepressants have many adverse reactions. Patients often discontinue antidepressants due to intolerance. AIM: This study aims to observe the clinical effect of Chaihu plus Longgu Muli decoction with five-element music therapy in treating cancer-related mild and moderate depression. METHODS: A total of 120 patients with depression in the Oncology Department of Tangshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hebei Province, from July 2017 to March 2019, were selected and randomly divided into the control and study groups (60 cases each) by the random number table method. The study group was treated with Chaihu plus Longgu Muli decoction with five-element music therapy for depression. The control group was treated with escitalopram tablets. After three courses of treatment, the degree of depression, clinical efficacy, quality of life, serum norepinephrine (NE) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels were observed. RESULTS: After treatment, the HAMD-24 (Hamilton Depression 24) scale scores of the study group (13.93 ± 6.32) were lower than the control group (19.04 ± 7.46), and the difference was statistically significant (x2 = 4.048, p = 0.008). The total effective rate of the study group (93.33%) was higher than the control group (73.33%), and the difference was statistically significant (x2 = 7.260, p = 0.000). After treatment, according to the QLQ-C30 (quality of life questionnaire) scale, the functional score of the study group was higher than the control group (p < 0.05), and the symptom score of the study group was lower than the control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the serum NE and 5-HT levels in the study group were higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05) (NE: 221.81 ± 31.14 vs 198.91 ± 29.97, t = 4.078, p = 0.000; 5-HT: 141.41 ± 20.35 vs 125.32 ± 14.58, t = 5.781, p = 0.000).

The marine drug histochrome is a special natural antioxidant. The active substance of the drug is echinochrome A (Ech A, 7-ethyl-2,3,5,6,8-pentahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), the most abundant quinonoid pigment in sea urchins. The medicine is clinically used in cardiology and ophthalmology based on the unique properties of Ech A, which simultaneously block various links of free radical reactions. In the last decade, numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of histochrome in various disease models without adverse effects. Here, we review the data on the various clinical effects and modes of action of Ech A in ophthalmic, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, inflammatory, metabolic, and malignant diseases.

BACKGROUND: To explore the clinical effect of laminectomy alone and laminectomy with instrumentation in the treatment of TOLF. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 142 patients with TOLF and laminectomy who underwent spine surgery at XXX Medical University from January 2003 to January 2018. According to whether the laminectomy was combined with instrumentation, the patients were divided into two groups: group A (laminectomy alone (LA), n = 77) and group B (laminectomy with instrumentation (LI), n = 65). Comparisons of possible influencing factors of demographic variables and operation-related variables were carried out between the two groups. In this study, the clinical effects of LA and LI in the treatment of TOLF were discussed. Thus, we explored the clinical effect of LA and LI in the treatment of TOLF. RESULTS: In terms of demographics, there was a statistically significant difference in BMI between group A and group B (P < 0.05). The differences in age, sex, smoking, drinking, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). In terms of preoperative symptoms, there was a significant difference in gait disturbance, pain in the LE, and urination disorder between group A and group B (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in other variables between the two groups (P > 0.05). In terms of operation-related variables, there was a significant difference in the preoperative duration of symptoms, intramedullary signal change on MRI, dural ossification, residual rate of cross-sectional spinal canal area on CT, shape on the sagittal MRI, operation time, pre-mJOA, post-mJOA at 1 year, and leakage of cerebrospinal fluid between group A and group B (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in other variables between the two groups (P > 0.05). The preoperative average JOA score of group A was 6.37 and that of group B was 5.19. In group A, the average JOA score at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgery was 7.87, 8.23 and 8.26, respectively, and the average JOA score improvement rate was 32.79 %, 38.32 and 38.53 %, respectively. In group B, the average JOA score at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgery was 7.74, 8.15 and 8.29, respectively, and the average JOA score improvement rate was 39.15 %, 46.86 and 47.12 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Currently, there is no consensus on whether instrumentation is needed after laminectomy for TOLF. We found that for patients with a long duration of gait disturbance, urination disorder, preoperative duration of symptoms, intramedullary signal change on MRI, dural ossification, residual rate of cross-sectional spinal canal area on CT less than 60 %, and shape on the sagittal MRI being beak and low, pre-mJOA had better clinical effects after LI as compared to those after LA, and the incidence of perioperative complications was lower.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of open reduction and internal fixation via digastric trochanteric flip osteotomy for acetabular posterior wall fracture with hip dislocation. Methods: From January 2014 to December 2016 a total of 39 patients who suffered posterior wall acetabular fracture and hip dislocation and treated in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were included in this retrospective study. All the patients were divided into two groups according to surgery type. There were 22 cases in osteotomy group who underwent digastric trochanteric flip osteotomy (DTFO) via Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach, while 17 cases in control group who only received surgery via (K-L) approach. The Matta scale was used to evaluate fracture reduction, while functional recovery scale (FRS) and Euro-Quality of 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) were applied to measure the clinical effect. Results: The baseline characteristics were similar for both groups and the mean follow-up period was (48±11) months. All the surgeries were performed successfully. The blood loss (t=1.52, P=0.12), bed days (t=1.22, P=0.25), complication rate (χ²=2.02, P=0.16) and operation time (t=1.31, P=0.23) showed no significant difference between the 2 groups (P>0.05). The fracture reduction (χ²=0.05, P=0.81) were similar between the 2 groups but the excellent rate were higher in osteotomy group. According to evaluation scales the FRS score and EQ-5D index favored osteotomy group(85±13 vs 80±15 and 0.86±0.12 vs 0.80±0.17, respectively, t=2.87, 3.47, both P<0.05). Conclusion: K-L approach with DTFO can provide clearier surgical field which is convenient for procedure, and compared to K-L approach the clinical effect is more satisfactory.
