Objective:To compare the effectiveness and safety of all-suture anchors and single-row suture anchors for rotator cuff repair.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 50 patients with rotator cuff tear admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between July 2019 and September 2021. They were divided into two groups according to the random table: 25 patients to receive repair with single-row suture anchors (control group) and the other 25 with all-suture anchors (trial group). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and shoulder range of motion were compared between the two groups before surgery, at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The rotator cuff retear rate of the two groups was evaluated according to Sugaya classification at 6 months after surgery. Breakage or anchor loosening during surgery, healing of incision and presence of infections or neurological complications after surgery, and change of the anchor position and periosteal reaction at the insertion site at 3 and 6 months after surgery were observed in the two groups.Results:A total of 50 patients with rotator cuff tear were involved in this study, including 17 males and 33 females, aged 40-73 years [(59.1±10.3)years]. All patients were followed up for 6-9 months [(6.7±1.0)months]. The differences in VAS, UCLA shoulder score, ASES score, and shoulder range of motion between the two groups were statistically insignificant before surgery (all P>0.05). The VAS at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up in the control group was 2.0 (2.0, 4.0)points and 2.0 (0.0, 2.0)points, respectively, with no statistical differences from 2.0 (2.0, 2.0)points and 2.0 (0.0, 2.0)points in the trial group (all P>0.05). In the control group, the UCLA shoulder score and ASES score at 3 months after surgery and the ASES score at the last follow-up were (25.1±4.5)points, 78.8 (71.6, 85.8)points and 85.8 (85.8, 93.0)points, respectively, with no statistical differences from (26.8±4.7)points, 85.8 (82.3, 85.8)points, and 92.8 (85.8, 100.0)points in the trial group (all P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the UCLA shoulder score of the control group was (29.2±3.9)points, which was lower than that of the trial group [(31.6±2.4)points] ( P<0.05). The differences in shoulder motion between the two groups at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The VAS, UCLA shoulder score, and ASES score at 3 months after surgery and at the last followup in both groups were significantly improved compared to their preoperative values (all P<0.05); further improvements were observed at the last follow-up compared with those at 3 months after surgery (all P<0.05). The rotator cuff retear rate at 6 months after surgery was 16.7% (4/24) in the control group, not statistically different from 4.3% (1/23) in the trial group ( P>0.05). There were no incidences of anchor loosening or breakage during surgery. All incisions were healed after surgery, with no infections or neurological complications. No grades II to III periosteal reactions at the anchor insertion sites were observed in either group at 3, 6 months after surgery. The percentage of patients with grade 0 periosteal reaction at the anchor insertion site at 3 months after surgery was 4.2% (1/24) in the control group, significantly lower than 30.4% (7/23) in the trial group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:All-suture anchors and single-row suture anchors are effective in rotator cuff repair, but the former results in better shoulder function and fewer periosteal reactions in the anchor insertion site in the early stage.

The pks genomic island encodes non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS), polyketide synthases (PKS), and hybrid NRPS/PKS synthetase. This genomic island is mainly found in the members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and is especially common in Escherichia coli of phylogroup B2 while frequently coexisting with other virulence factors. The pks-positive E. coli is able to synthesize colibactin, a genotoxic chemical compound. Thus, this pks-positive bacteria may induce the breaking of DNA double-strand and chromosomal instability, which lead to senescence and apoptosis of cells. As a result, pks-positive E. coli is positively associated with the occurrence of diseases such as colorectal neoplasms, neonatal meningitis, and septicemia. Epidemiological studies have also confirmed that pks-positive E. coli is associated with a variety of diseases. However, the exact pathogenic mechanism of pks-positive E. coli is still not understood. Despite its genotoxicity, the pks-positive E. coli also exhibits some positive effects including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibiotic abilities. Therefore, the biological role of pks-positive E. coli is complicated. In this review, an overview of the pks genomic island and its prevalence in Enterobacteriaceae, as well as the biological function of pks-positive E. coli is described, aiming to provide references for further researches.

Ojective To explore the effect of the hydroxyapatite(HAp)and gelatin(Gel)coating on the healing of the polyethylene terephthalate(PET)artificial ligament.Methods The artificial ligaments were divided into a PET group with a pure PET surface and a PET/HAp/Gel group coated with HAp and Gel.Both coatings were observed using the scanning electron microscope(SEM).Forty-eight male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups and underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,before two kinds of artificial ligaments were implanted respectively.Four weeks and 8 weeks after the operation,the rabbits were sacrificed,and histological hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining as well as the biomechanical examination were performed.Results HAp/Gel coating was found depositing on the surface of PET artificial ligaments.Histological HE staining showed a thick fibrous connective tissue forming at the graft-host bone interface 4 weeks postoperatively,and the interface width of both groups were narrowed,with significantly more shrinking in the PET/HAp/Gel coating group.And new bone tissues were found in the interface of PET/HAp/Gel group 8 weeks after the operation.The biomechanical examination found significant differences in the failure load between the PET(46.16 ± 2.88 N) and PET/HAp/Gel group(71.32 ± 3.92 N)8 weeks after the surgery(P=0.0021).And 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the surgery,significant differences were found in the stiffness between the PET group and the PET/HAp/Gel group(11.06 ± 1.14 N/mm vs 16.20 ± 1.17 N/mm,P=0.0199;14.37 ± 0.88 N/mm vs 24.35 ± 1.35 N/mm,P=0.0008).Conclusion HAp/Gel coating can enhance the osteogenesis of PET artificial ligaments,promoting the new bone formation at the graft-host bone interface and herein strengthening the graft-host bone healing.
