ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic transverse release of the iliotibial band through peritrochanteric space for the treatment of external snapping hip.Methods:A total of 30 patients (12 males and 18 females) with bilateral external snapping hip underwent arthroscopic transverse release of the iliotibial band through peritrochanteric space in Department of Sports Medicine, Senior Department of Orthopaedics, the Fourth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from May 2021 and June 2022. The average age was 32.5±8.2 years (range, 17-51 years). At the same time, 30 patients who underwent arthroscopic external release of the iliotibial band through the external surface of the iliotibial band (external iliotibial band group) were selected as control group, including 13 males and 17 females, aged 29.5±6.8 years (range, 11-45 years). The visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris hip score (mHHS), and gluteal muscle contracture disability scale (GDS) were compared between the two groups at preoperative, 6 months postoperative, and final follow-up.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 17.5±3.3 months (range, 12-25 months). The VAS scores of the two groups at the last follow-up were lower than those before operation ( P<0.05). The mHHS scores before operation, 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up in the peritrochanteric space group were 76.5 (67.0, 85.5), 98.5 (94.8, 100.0) and 100.0 (97.0, 100.0), respectively, and those in the external iliotibial band group were 80.5 (70.0, 86.0), 100.0 (96.0, 100.0) and 100.0 (99.5, 100.0). The differences in mHHS scores between the two groups were statistically significant for intragroup comparisons ( P<0.05); of these, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were greater than preoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05); the differences at 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in mHHS scores between groups at different time points ( P>0.05). The GDS before operation, at 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up were 47.0 (35.8, 64.5), 90.0 (81.0, 94.0) and 93.5 (89.8, 98.0) in the peritrochanteric space group, and 51.0 (38.0, 64.5), 50.0 (81.0, 94.0) and 93.5 (89.8, 98.0) in the external iliotibial band group, respectively. The differences in GDS between the two groups were statistically significant for intragroup comparisons ( P< 0.05); of these, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were greater than preoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05); the differences at 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in GDS between groups at different time points ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic transverse release of the iliotibial band through peritrochanteric space for the treatment of external snapping hip can effectively reduce hip pain and improve hip function, with satisfactory clinical results, and can be used as an alternative treatment to transverse release through the external surface of the iliotibial band.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the short-term efficacy of hip arthroscopic surgery assisted by platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hip arthroscopy alone in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on the clinical data of 133 FAI patients admitted to Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. The patients included 86 males and 47 females, aged 19-71 years [(39.1±12.6)years]. A total of 67 patients were treated with hip arthroscopy alone (hip arthroscopy group), and 66 patients were treated with PRP after hip arthroscopy under ultrasound guidance (hip arthroscopy+PRP group). The two groups were compared before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up regarding the following items: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Modified Harris Hip Score, International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12), and Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living Scale (HOS-ADL). The incidence rate of complications after surgery was compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 108 patients were followed up for 24-36 months [(28.5±3.8)months], while 25 patients were lost to follow-up because of withdrawal of consent, wrong telephone number, etc, including 11 patients (16.4%) in the hip arthroscopy group and 14 patients (21.2%) in the hip arthroscopy+PRP group. The values of VAS in the hip arthroscopy group before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were 5.00(5.00, 7.00)points, 3.00(2.00, 3.75)points, and 1.00(0.00, 2.00)points, respectively; the values of Modified Harris Hip Score were 49.00(39.00, 57.00)points, 76.00(69.25, 82.00)points, and 86.00(82.00, 88.00)points, respectively; the values of iHOT-12 were 0.45(0.28, 0.58)points, 0.69(0.58, 0.80)points, and 0.81(0.70, 0.92)points, respectively; the values of HOS-ADL were 0.52(0.42, 0.68)points, 0.87(0.75, 0.93)points, and 0.93(0.86, 0.99)points, respectively. The scores of VAS in the hip arthroscopy + PRP group before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were 6.00(5.00, 7.00)points, 3.00(2.00, 3.75)points, and 1.00(0.00, 2.00)points, respectively; the values of Modified Harris Hip Score were 46.50(37.00, 56.75)points, 78.00(72.00, 84.00)points, and 84.50(82.00, 88.00)points, respectively; the values of iHOT-12 were 0.42(0.26, 0.51)points, 0.66(0.58, 0.74)points, and 0.81(0.68, 0.88)points, respectively; the values of HOS-ADL were 0.54(0.38, 0.65)points, 0.87(0.72, 0.96)points, and 0.94(0.86, 1.00)points, respectively. In both groups, VAS, Modified Harris Hip Score, iHOT-12, and HOS-ADL were significantly improved at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up compared with those before surgery, and were further improved at the last follow-up compared with those at 12 months after surgery (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in VAS, Modified Harris Hip Score, iHOT-12 and HOS-ADL between the two groups before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rates of postoperative hip pain and clicking between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy can considerably improve short-term hip symptoms and function in FAI patients, but the use of PRP treatment after hip arthroscopy cannot further improve its short-term efficacy in FAI patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH) and cam-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) after hip arthroscopy.Methods:Data were retrospectively reviewed for patients with BDDH and cam-type FAIS who underwent hip arthroscopy surgery from June 2017 to December 2019. A total of 32 patients were enrolled, with a mean age of 36.13±8.67 years (range, 20-50 years), including 15 males and 17 females. The preoperative lateral center-edge angle was 22.3°±1.6° (range 20.1°-24.7°), while the preoperative α angle was 64.1°±4.6° (range, 56.0°-69.8°). All patients were treated with arthroscopic limited acetabular plasty, labral repair, femoral osteoplasty, and capsular plication after excluding from external hip diseases by ultrasound-guided hip blocking test. The visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS) and International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12) scores were used to evaluate the clinical effects.Results:All patients were followed up, and the mean follow-up time was 2.5±0.8 years (range, 2.0-4.7 years). The VAS score decreased from 6.07±1.56 to 1.96±0.92 at 1 year and to 1.86±1.01 at 2 years after operation ( F=112.64, P<0.001); the mHHS score increased from 53.87±13.04 to 86.12±8.64 at 1 year and to 88.71±8.15 at 2 years after operation ( F=101.70, P<0.001); the iHOT-12 score was improved from 40.00±7.33 to 76.27±9.50 at 1 year and to 78.67±10.31 at 2 years after operation ( F=134.91, P<0.001). The α angle improved to 40.27°±4.52° (range, 34.8°-49.7°) with significant difference ( t=9.24, P<0.001). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy can achieve satisfied short-term outcomes in treating BDDH and cam-type FAIS with few complications and less trauma.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the performance of the commonly used whole blood C-reactive protein (CRP) detection systems and give related recommendation on the performance requirements of detection systems.Methods:A total of 7 540 venous blood samples from 26 maternal, child and children′s hospitals were collected to conduct this multi-center study on the analytical performance of 5 commonly used whole blood CRP detection systems from March to April in 2019. The blank check, carryover, repeatability, intermediate precision, linearity, sample stability, influence of hematocrit/triglyceride/bilirubin, comparison with SIEMENS specific protein analyzer and trueness were evaluated. The 5 systems included BC-5390CRP autohematology analyzer, AstepPLUS specific protein analyzer, Ottoman-1000 Automated Specific Protein POCT Workstation, i-CHROMA Immunofluorometer equipment Reader and Orion QuikRead go detecting instrument. The 5 systems were labeled as a, b, c, d and e randomly.Results:Within the 5 systems, all values of blank check were less than 1.00 mg/L, the carryovers were lower than 1.00%. The repeatability of different ranges of CRP concentrations including 3.00-10.00, 10.00-30.00 and>30.00 mg/L were less than 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively, and the intermediate precision was less than 10.00%. The linearity correlation coefficients of the 5 systems were all above 0.975, while the slope was within 0.950-1.050. Whole blood samples were stable within 72 hours both at room temperature (18-25 ℃) and refrigerated temperature (2-8 ℃). The CRP results were rarely influenced by high triglyceride or bilirubin, except for the immmunoturbidimetric test based on microparticles coated with anti-human CRP F(ab) 2 fragments. When triglyceride was less than 15.46 mmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. When bilirubin was less than 345.47 μmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. CRP was more susceptible to Hct on the systems without Hct correction. The deviation of CRP between different Hct dilution concentration and 40% dilution concentration can reach as high as 67.48%. The correlation coefficients ( r) of 5 systems were all more than 0.975 in the range of 0-300.00 mg/L compared with Siemens specific protein analyzer. All systems passed the trueness verification using the samples with specified values of 12.89 and 30.60 mg/L. Conclusion:The performance of 5 systems can basically meet the clinical needs, but it is suggested that the whole blood CRP detection system without automatic Hct correction should be modified manually.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the etiology composition of enterovirus (EV) in patients with severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in children. To assess the diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests in severe HFMD, and to find the key laboratory tests for severe HFMD.@*Methods@#A total of 288 hospitalized cases of children clinically diagnosed with severe HFMD in Hangzhou Children′s Hospital were included from March to July 2016. Throat swabs were collected and enterovirus nucleic acids were detected by fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. Synchronous CSF and serum samples were collected for EV-A71 and CV-sackievirus A16 (CV-A16)-IgM antibody detection. CSF samples underwent routine and biochemical tests. Normally distributed continuous variables were compared using t test. Non-normal distribution continuous variables were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Differences between categorical variables were compared with χ2 test.@*Results@#The total positive rate of enterovirus nucleic acid EV-A71/CV-A16/EV by fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR in the 288 cases of children clinically diagnosed with HFMD was 83.7% (241/288), including EV-A71 55.2% (159/288), CV-A16 4.9% (14/288) and the other enterovirus 23.6% (68/288). Among the other enterovirus group, there were 29.4% CV-A6 (20/68) , 16.2% CV-A4 (11/68) and CV-A10 10.3% (7/68). The total positive rate of combined serum and CSF detection of EV nucleic acid and EV-A71 and CV-A16 IgM antibody was 98.3% (283/288). EV nucleic acid positive rate was 83.7% (24/288). The positive rates were statistically different (χ2 =37.289, P=0.000). The CSF nucleated cells count in EV-A71 positive subgroup was higher than those in CV-A16 positive subgroup and other enteroviruses subgroup (Z=-4.472 and -9.991, respectively, both P<0.05). The CSF nucleated cells positive rate in EV-A71 positive subgroup was higher than those in CV-A16 positive subgroup and other enteroviruses subgroup (χ2=43.857 and 133.078, respectively, both P<0.05). The CSF protein level in EV-A71 positive subgroup was higher than those in CV-A16 positive subgroup and other enteroviruses subgroup (Z=-3.151 and -5.255, respectively, both P<0.05). The CSF protein positive (>400 mg/L) rate in EV-A71 positive subgroup was higher than those in CV-A16 positive subgroup and other enteroviruses subgroup (χ2=4.956 and 11.795, respectively, both P<0.05). The CSF nucleated cell counts and positive rates in EV-A71 IgM antibody-positive subgroup were both higher than those in antibody-negative subgroup (both P<0.05). The CSF protein level and elevated proportion in antibody-positive subgroup were both higher than those in antibody-negative subgroup (both P<0.05). The lactate dehydrogenase concentration in antibody-positive subgroup was significantly higher than those in antibody-negative subgroup (P<0.05). The EV-A71 IgM antibody in serum was significantly correlated with the antibody in CSF (r=0.600, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#EV-A71 is still the most important pathogen of severe HFMD in Hangzhou in 2016. Other enterovirus such as CV-A6, CV-A4 increases compared to those in 2014 and 2015. The CSF routine and biochemical tests and the IgM antibody levels can serve as an important indicator for the diagnosis of children with severe HFMD.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To observe the intestinal viral shedding time in patients with hand, food and mouth disease (HFMD) induced by coxsackievirus A6 (CA6).@*Method@#Throat swab specimens and stool specimens of HFMD children were collected from those admitted to Hangzhou Children′s Hospital between May and October 2015, while fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the viral load.Eeighteen cases of HFMD children were followed up, who were confirmed as CA6 infection via laboratory tests.Stool specimen was collected every 4-7 days, and fluorescence PCR was used for virus nucleic acid detection until the stool viral nucleic acids of infected children turned to be negative.The intestinal virus shedding time of CA6-infected HFMD was compared with the intestinal virus shedding time of 65 children with enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection and 44 children with coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) infection of the previous studies (from May to September 2012).@*Result@#The median stool viral load was 25×105 copies/ml (55×104 copies/mL, 9×106 copies/ml) in CA6-infected children.The numbers of stool virus nucleic acid turning negative were 0 case, 4 cases, 9 cases, 3 cases and 2 cases in 18 children at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th weeks. At 5th week, the stool virus nucleic acid of children in CA6 group all turned to be negative.The positive rates of stool virus nucleic acid in EV71 group and CA16 group at the 5th week, however, were 31% and 27% respectively.There were statistically significant differences in distribution of positive rate of stool virus nucleic acid between CA6 infected children with EV71 and CA16 infected children (χ2=13.894, 10.698, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The longest intestinal virus shedding time for CA6-infected HFMD children was 5 weeks, which is obviously shorter than that of EV71- infected children and CA16-infected children.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the anti-enterovirus 71 (EV71) IgM level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) induced by EV71 and then analyze the relationships among the IgM antibody levels, CSF routine examination and patients' clinical features, and thus to evaluate the clinical significance of anti-EV71 IgM as a new indicator for early diagnosis of children with severe HFMD induced by EV71.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>A total of 294 laboratory-confirmed cases of children with severe HFMD infected with EV71 were enrolled into the research group from March 2014 to June 2014, consisting of 53 fatal cases and 241 severe cases, and their CSF samples underwent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for anti-EV71 IgM levels, CSF routine and biochemical tests. Forty-one cases of children with severe HFMD induced by other enteroviruses were collected as antibody-testing control group during the same period.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>In the research group, the total positive rate of anti-EV71 IgM in 294 CSF samples of children with severe HFMD infected by EV71 was 60.2% (177/294); the positive rate of anti-EV71 IgM in the fatal HFMD subgroup was 62.3% (33/53); the positive rate of anti-EV71 IgM in the severe HFMD subgroup was 59.8% (144/241). In the control group, the results of CSF anti-EV71 IgM tests were all negative (0/41). In the research group, patients in antibody-positive subgroup (2.5±1.2) years old were younger than those in antibody-negative subgroup (2.9±1.1) years old (t=2.595, P=0.010). And within the antibody-positive subgroup, the patients ((1.9±0.7) years old) with fatal type disease were younger than those ((2.6±1.2) years old) with severe type disease (t=3.150, P=0.002). The CSF nucleated cells count and positive rates (105 (56,180) ×10(6) /L; 97.7% (173/177)) in antibody-positive subgroup were higher than those (62(30,150) ×10(6) /L; 83.8% (98/117)) in antibody-negative subgroup (Z=3.663, P=0.000; χ(2)=19.089, P=0.000). In antibody-positive subgroup, the percentage of monocytes (57±25)% was higher than that of polykaryocytes (43±25)%. In antibody-negative subgroup, the percentage of monocytes (50±26)% was close to that of polykaryocytes (50±26)%. In the antibody-positive subgroup, the ratio of the patients with nucleated cells count higher than 100×10(6)/L in fatal type group and severe type group was 69.7% (23/33) and 47.2% (68/144) respectively (χ(2)=5.429, P=0.02). The CSF protein quantity and positive rates in antibody-positive subgroup were higher than those in antibody-negative subgroup (Z=2.158, P=0.031; χ(2)=5.921, P=0.015).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The anti-EV71 IgM levels in CSF can serve as an important indicator for early diagnosis of children with severe HFMD induced by EV71. And the anti-EV71 IgM levels in CSF correlated to the CSF nucleated cells count and classification and CSF protein quantity.

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a method of simultaneous detection and Gram classification for pathogens causing sepsis with gram-specific probes based real-time PCR. Methods A pair of universal primers and a set of probes including Gram-positive probe and Gram-negative probe were designed based on the bacterial highly conserved region of 16SrRNA gene. With the gram-specific probes based real-time PCR, 35 clinical frequently-isolated strains including 17 gram-positive and 18 gram-negative bacteria were identified correctly with the corresponding gram probe. The blood samples from 512 cases of suspected septicemia, who were hospitalized in our neonatal ward and the NICU and developed clinical signs suggestive of infection, were tested with routine culture and bacterial gram-specific probes based real-time PCR separately. Results The detection limit of the gram-specific probes based real-time PCR assay was 10 CFU of the bacteria. The 35 isolates could be detected and classified correctly by gram-specific probes based real-time PCR. The PCR results were all negative for Cytomegalo virus, EB virus, hepatitis B virus, Cryptococcns neoformans, candida albican, human genomic DNA and negative control. The gram-specific probes based real-time PCR appeared to be quite specific. For 512 blood specimens from the patients with suspicious neonatal sepsis, the positive rate of the gram-specific probes based real-time PCR array was 8.20% (42/512,), which is significantly higher than that of blood culture (32/512, 6.25%) (χ2=8.10, P<0.01). When blood culture was used as a standard, the sensitivity of the gram-specific probes based real-time PCR was 100%. The specificity was 97.92% and the accuracy was 98.05%. Canclusions Cram-specific probes based real-time PCR with universal primers and gram-specific probes are developed. This study suggests that the bacterial gram-specific probes based real-time PCR are very useful for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of bacterial infection.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the current situation of reproductive tract infection among bearing age mar-fled women in countryside and influence factors. Methods We had examined 4916 women. Questionnaire investiga-tion,gynecologic examination,the inspection of pathogen and the B-ultrasound were collected by face to face in the clinic. Results The general prevalence rate of RTI was 53.93%. The prevalence rates of pelvic infection and cervici-tis were 3.97% and 51.12%. The prevalence rates of germs, trichomonal and candiclal vaginitis were 12.51%, 3.60% and 7.71% respectively. The infection rate for only one,two or three kind of RTI were 33.08% ,19.73% and 1.08% respectively. The influence factors were : age, education, family economy, sanitary habits, graviclity, frequent in-tercourse,induced abortion and knowledge towards RTI. Conclusion Among bearing age married women in country-side province the prevalence rate of RTI was higher and also showed evidence of some influence factors.
