RESUMEN
Objective To understand the molecular epidemiological characteristics of Norovirus outbreaks and the genome evolution of Norovirus epidemic strains in Hainan Province from 2020 to 2022.Methods The information and samples have been collected from the norovirus outbreaks from 2020 to 2022.Norovirus was detected by using the real-time PCR in these samples,then the detected sequences were amplified the analyzed.The Norovirus se-quences of 8 strains had been amplified and analyzed.Results From 2020 to 2022,39 gastroenteritis outbreaks were reported,and 25 outbreaks caused by Norovirus which mainly occurred in childcare institutions and schools(20/25,80％).The Norovirus outbreaks were mainly concentrated in counties around Haikou(northeast),which including Ding'an(5 cases),Wenchang(4 cases),Chengmai(4 cases),and Lingao(3 cases);following by western regions which included Baisha(2 cases),Ledong(2 cases),and Dongfang(3 cases).1 case was in Wanning in the southeast.Among individuals aged 2-17,the positive proportion of Norovirus in males was higher than that in females.Among individuals aged over 55,the proportion of Norovirus positive in females was higher than that in males.The gender of positive samples among individuals aged 18-40 was related to their profession.According to RT-PCR typing and sequencing,GⅡ group Norovirus were classified in13 outbreaks.There were 4 genotypes detected.GⅡ.2[P1 6]was the main epidemic strain with 60％(9/13),and the other three genotypes were GⅡ.4 Sydney[P31](15.4％,2/13)GⅡ.4 Sydney[P16](7.7％,1/13)and GⅡ.3[P12](7.7％,1/13).Further genic analysis of 8 Norovirus strains showed that all of them were still in the same branch as the previ-ous strain,and all exhibited a certain amount of amino acid variation.Conclusion Norovirus is the main pathogen of gastroenteritis outbreaks in Hainan province,and the main epidemic strain is GⅡ.2[P16].It is necessary to continue to strengthen the monitoring that provides scientific evidence for the prevention and control of norovirus out-breaks in Hainan region.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the impact of different six-character qigong training modes on respiratory muscle function early after a stroke.Methods:Sixty-six stroke survivors in the early stage of recovery were randomly divided into a control group, a modified training group, and an ancient training group, each of 22. In addition to routine rehabilitation training, the control group received conventional respiratory training. The modified training and ancient training groups were trained in modified six-character qigong or ancient six-character qigong, respectively, for two weeks. Before the treatment, after the two weeks and one month later, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), forced expiratory volume in one second, forced vital capacity, peak expiratory flow, maximum mid-expiratory flow, and peak inspiratory flow were measured. Diaphragm mobility during quiet inspiration and maximum inspiration were also quantified.Results:After 2 weeks of treatment and at 1 and 3 months after the end of the treatment, all three groups showed significant improvement in MIP, MEP and the pulmonary ventilation indicators, but the average improvement in the modified training group was significantly greater than in the other two groups. Their average diaphragm mobility was also significantly greater.Conclusion:Modified six-character qigong respiratory training is more effective than its ancient counterpart in improving respiratory muscle function, pulmonary ventilation, and diaphragm mobility early after a stroke, with effects which persist for at least one month.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:Percutaneous sacroiliac screw internal fixation has become the main surgical procedure for the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures;however,the unassisted closure operation requires high operator experience and repeated fluoroscopy increases the radiation hazard for patients and medical personnel.This article compares the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus unassisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement for posterior pelvic ring fractures by meta-analysis. METHODS:Computer searches of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov were conducted from the time of database inception to December 2022.The literature on the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus freehand percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures was collected in and outside China.The data were independently screened and extracted by two investigators according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,respectively.The quality of randomized controlled trials was evaluated using Cochrane risk assessment criteria.The quality of included cohort studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software for inclusion metrics.Outcome metrics included operative time,intraoperative bleeding,fluoroscopy time,fluoroscopy frequency,number of holes drilled,Majeed postoperative function score,the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture reduction,the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position,fracture healing time and complications. RESULTS:(1)A total of 13 publications were included,2 were randomized controlled trials both referring to randomized methods,11 non-randomized controlled studies were evaluated for quality of literature according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale,1 scored 8,9 scored 7;and 1 scored 6;the quality of literature was good.A total of 748 patients were included,including 430 in the robot-assisted group and 318 in the freehand group.(2)The results of the meta-analysis showed that the operative time(MD=-28.30,95%CI:-40.20 to-16.40),intraoperative bleeding(MD=-6.36,95%CI:-10.06 to-2.66),intraoperative fluoroscopy time(MD=-12.13,95%CI:-19.54 to-4.72),intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency(MD=-17.39,95%CI:-29.00 to-5.78),number of intraoperative needle drillings(SMD=-9.50,95%CI:-14.27 to-4.73)and the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position(OR=8.65,95%Cl:3.26-22.92)in the robot-assisted group were significantly better than those in the freehand group(P<0.05).(3)In the robot-assisted group,the overall postoperative complication rate was significantly reduced(OR=0.10,95%Cl:0.02-0.48,P<0.05).(4)No significant difference was detected in fracture healing time(MD=-0.08,95%CI:-0.21,0.06),the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture repositioning rate(OR=2.06,95%Cl:0.97-4.39),and Majeed functional score(MD=0.91,95%CI:-0.31-2.13)between both groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION:Compared with freehand sacroiliac joint nailing,robotic assistance shortens the operative time,reduces intraoperative bleeding,decreases radiation damage to patients and medical staff,improves the excellent and good rate of screw position,and reduces the overall incidence of postoperative complications in patients,but there was no significant improvement in fracture reduction quality,fracture healing time,and postoperative function.In the future,more large-sample,multicenter,and high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to verify.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Atlantoaxial dislocation,because of its high difficulty and high risk of surgery,has been regarded as the"surgical restricted area"by the international orthopedic community.However,with the rapid development of intelligent digitization in orthopedics,robot-assisted navigation screw placement technology has been widely used in clinical practice,which significantly reduces the difficulty and risk of surgery and improves the safety of surgery.However,there are few reports on the application of this technique in the treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation. OBJECTIVE:To explore the application value of robot-assisted pedicle screw internal fixation in the treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation. METHODS:The medical records of five patients with atlantoaxial dislocation treated with C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation under robot-assisted navigation in Zhuhai Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from October 2021 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Operation time,length of neck incision,blood loss,postoperative drainage volume,and length of hospital stay were recorded.Attention should be paid to cerebrospinal fluid leakage,vertebral artery injury,nerve injury,operative area infection and other complications.The visual analog scale score of neck pain,the spinal cord injury grade of the American Spinal Injury Association,the cervical spine score of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association,and the imaging indicators were collected before surgery and at the last follow-up.Screw placement accuracy was assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Five patients were successfully completed surgery,without vascular,nerve injury or other complications,and were followed up for 12-20 months.(2)A total of 20 cervical pedicle screws were placed in 5 patients,including 9 type A screws,10 type B screws,and 1 type C screw.The accuracy of screw placement was 95%.(3)At the last follow-up,the visual analog scale score was(0.80±0.71)points,which was significantly lower than that before operation(4.00±2.83)points;the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was(14.80±0.84)points,which was significantly higher than that before operation(8.00±0.71)points.Anterior atlantodental interval decreased from(7.86±3.25)mm to(2.82±0.93)mm;space available of the spinal cord increased from(6.74±1.99)mm to(12.10±3.51)mm;cervicomedullary angle increased from(133.32±13.55)° to(153.44±9.53)°;clivus-canal angle increased from(128.02±9.92)° to(143.25±12.99)°.The results of the last follow-up indexes were improved compared with those before operation,and the differences were significant(all P<0.05).(4)Postoperative imaging follow-up showed that all patients had bone fusion in the bone graft area,and no internal fixation loosening,fracture or pull-out occurred.(5)This method can avoid relying on the doctor's experience and hand feeling,ensure the accuracy of upper cervical screw placement,reduce the risk of surgery,and obtain satisfactory results in mid-term follow-up.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the surgical techniques and outcomes of closed reduction for geriatric subtrochanteric femoral fractures with certain radiological characteristics.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in the 38 aged patients with subtrochanteric femoral fracture who had been treated at Department of Geriatric Orthopedics, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 2015 to December 2019. There were 24 females and 14 males, aged from 62 to 95 years (average, 80.9 years). According to the Seinsheimer classification, there were one case of type ⅡB, 7 cases of type ⅡC, 18 cases of type ⅢA, 9 cases of type Ⅳ, and 3 cases of type Ⅴ. The time from injury to operation averaged 2.3 days (from 0.5 to 8.0 days). The fractures of this cohort were characterized by: ①The starting point of the medial fracture line was at the proximal end and the lesser trochanter separated. ②The fracture end was shortened and overlapped on the medial side and angled outward, showing a varus deformity. ③The alignment returned to normal after traction, with only partial lateral displacement left. Before fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), all these patients were treated by closed reduction in a supine traction bed. In those whose reduction was unsatisfactory, a main nail was inserted or after the main nail was inserted reduction by leverage was performed through the screw blade incision. Intraoperatively, the quality of fracture reduction was evaluated according to the modified Baumgaertner assessment. Recorded were the patients’ operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, hip function and complications.Results:All the fractures achieved 100% of good to excellent reduction (38/38). The operation time ranged from 25 to 120 min (average, 55.6 min) and the intraoperative blood loss from 10 to 150 mL (average, 42.9 mL). This cohort of 38 patients was followed for 10 to 20 months (average, 15.3 months). All the fractures united after 3 to 8 months (average, 4.8 months). The Harris hip scores at the last follow-up ranged from 70 to 94 (average, 81.5). The follow-ups revealed no such complications as internal fixation failure, fracture re-displacement, malunion or nonunion.Conclusion:Closed reduction and PFNA fixation in a supine traction bed can lead to satisfactory clinical effects for the subtrochanteric femoral fractures with certain radiological characteristics in the aged patients.

RESUMEN
Thirty-two cases of calcaneodynia were treated with high-energy vibration wave combined with external application of Shuangbo Ointment (Group 1) and other 32 with high-energy vibration wave only (Group 2) as control. The results showed that the markedly effective rates of short-term treatment (3 weeks) and long-term treatment (3 months) were 56.25% and 84.37% in Group 2, and 81.25% and 93.75% in Group 1 respectively. It is suggested that high-energy vibration wave combined with external application of Shuangbo Ointment exerts a better effect for calcaneodynia, and can decrease the occurrence of hematoma and periosteum stripping induced by high-energy vibration wave.
