Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as a new type of thermoplastic engineering plastic, has good biological activity, elastic modulus close to human cortical bone and radiation permeability, and has been widely used in medical field. This study aims to explore the safety and clinical efficacy of using 3D printing personalized PEEK materials to repaire scapular bone defects after bone tumor resection. A total of 6 patients who underwent the implantation of 3D printed PEEK scapular prosthesis from January 2020 to December 2021 in Yunnan Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 males and 3 females, with age ranged from 14 to 52 years. There were 1 case of synovial sarcoma, 1 of Ewing's sarcoma, and 4 of chondrosarcoma. PEEK prosthesis was designed and fabricated based on CT data before surgery. Tumor resection and prosthesis replacement were performed under the premise of ensuring safe surgical boundaries, including 2 cases of total scapular prosthesis replacement and 4 cases of partial scapular prosthesis replacement. The operation time was 90-170 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 100-400 ml. All 6 patients received satisfactory follow-up, with a tumor progression free survival time of 16-28 months. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed, and all patients survived tumor free. At last follow-up, the Constant-Murley shoulder joint score was a minimum of 62 points and a maximum of 68 points. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association's shoulder joint score was 63 points minimum and 78 points maximum. Computer-aided design 3D printing PEEK material prosthesis has certain advantages in the treatment of scapular tumor limb salvage. It has light weight, well adapted, relatively simple installation, good histocompatibility, and can obtain a better appearance and function of the shoulder joint after operation. It can become one of the options for limb salvage treatment of scapular tumor.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of AngioJet pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (APMT) in rescue treatment for patients with acute massive pulmonary embolism (AMPE) after unsuccessful thrombolysis with urokinase (UK).Methods:From June 2016 to June 2018, the clinical data of 16 AMPE patients underwent APMT after unsuccessful thrombolysis with UK were collected. For these patients, the therapy was discontinued and replaced with APMT adjunctive low-dose thrombolysis with UK. Heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), CT obstruction index (CTOI) and therapy replacement safety were evaluated. The pared-samples t-test was used to analyze quantitative data before and after treatment. Results:All 16 patients completed APMT procedure. PAP posterior was lower than prior treatment ( P<0.05). The average adjunctive thrombolysis duration of UK was (3.25±1.78) d, HR, SPB, PaO 2 after APMT were significantly improved ( P<0.01). CTOI before and after APMT were (26.81±14.86)% and (11.56±3.26)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.435, P<0.01). Symptoms and signs of pulmonary embolism were significantly improved after treatment. The complications associated with APMT occurred in 2 patients with bradyarrhythmia, 2 patients with chest discomfort and 2 patients with hemoglobinuria. There were no statistically significant difference between the biochemistry indexes before and after APMT treatment ( P>0.05). Moreover, no major bleeding occurred during thrombolysis procedure, and minor bleeding complications occurred only in two cases. Conclusions:APMT adjunctive low-dose UK thrombolysis for rescue treatment of AMPE patients after unsuccessful thrombolysis with UK is relatively safe and effective. It can remove pulmonary artery thrombus rapidly, and improve clinical symptoms and signs of PE.

Objective@#To understand the characteristics relating to the etiology and complications of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) based on data from the pilot National Sentinel Surveillance (NSS) program so as to explore the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of the NSS.@*Methods@#Data were extracted from the NSS system, conducted in 11 provinces of China from November 2015 to October 2016. Characteristics regarding the etiology, complications of HFMD and factors related to the positive rates of HFMD specimens were analyzed under the logistic regression method by SPSS 20.0 software.@*Results@#A total of 4 783 specimens were collected, including 3 390 from mild, 1 390 from severe and 3 from death cases. The overall positive rate was 81.43% (3 895/4 783). Other enteroviruses (non EV71/Cox A16 enteroviruses) appeared the major serotype (52.68%, 1 482/2 813) for mild infection of the disease while EV71 was for the severe cases (65.31%, 706/1 081). The serotype spectrum revealed by the pilot NSS was almost identical with the existing surveillance system. Other enteroviruses tended to infect younger children (χ2=130.17, P<0.001) than EV71 and Cox A16, in China. The multivariate logistic regression results showed that higher positive rate was associated with specimens which were collected from males, at children’ hospitals, in peak seasons, timely and in stools. The positive rates presented downwarding trends with the extension of the onset-sampling interval (χ2=14.47, P<0.001 in stool specimen; χ2=31.99, P<0.001 in throat swab; χ2=24.26, P<0.001 in anal swab). Aseptic meningitis, non-brainstem encephalitis and brainstem encephalitis appeared the top three complications of both EV71-associated and other enteroviruses-associated severe HFMD cases.@*Conclusions@#Factors as gender, season/place/timeliness of specimen collection, and types of hospital all appeared independently influenced the positive rates. NSS seemed feasible to be used as an alternative or supplement tool to the existing surveillance program in China.

Objective@#To investigate the changes of perioperative immune index in patients with breast cancer and its clinical significance.@*Methods@#Th1 cells, Th2 cells, Th1/Th2 ratio and regulatory T cells (Treg) were detected in peripheral blood of 103 patients with primary breast cancer and 116 patients with breast fibroma before surgery and on the 1st, 3rd and 5th day following operation. The relationship of changes in T lymphocyte subsets and clinicopathological characteristics, as well as tumor-free survival of breast cancer patients, was analyzed.@*Results@#The levels of Th1 cells in breast cancer group on the 1st, 3rd and 5th day following operation were (12.20±0.45)%, (13.89±0.47)%, (14.04±0.49)%, which were significantly lower than those before operation [(15.82 + 0.51)%, all P<0.05 ]. Treg cells, however, with the number of (3.82±0.13)%, (3.25±0.11)%, (2.95 ±0.11)%, were remarkably higher than those before operation [(2.53 ±0.11)%, all P<0.05]. With respect to breast fibroma patients, there was no significant difference compared with those before operation of Th1 cells, Th2 cells and Treg cells (all P>0.05). The changes of Th1 cells were associated with the degree of differentiation, T stage, N stage, TNM stage, HER-2 status and Ki-67 (all P<0.05). Treg cells were related to T stage, N stage and HER-2 status (all P<0.05). Tumor-free survival in the Th1-cell-increasing group was significantly better than that in the Th1-cell-decreasing group (P=0.045), while cell-decreasing group of Treg showed the improved outcomes (P=0.012).@*Conclusions@#The levels of Th1 cells and Treg cells are important indicators of cellular immune function in patients with breast cancer. Moreover, the perioperative changes of Th1 cells and Treg cells are associated with the size of tumors, pathological parameters, clinical stages and tumor-free survival outcomes.

Objective@#To investigate the safety and effectiveness of the Celect inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT).@*Methods@#CT follow-up examinations were performed in 72 patients who underwent Celect inferior vena cava filter placement between August 2015 and September 2017. Forty-five patients (62.5%) presented with DVT alone, 27(37.5%) with DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE). With filters in place, each patient was followed up with CT at least once, to visualize new pulmonary embolism, inferior vena cava occlusion, filter tilting, fracture of struts, migration and penetration of struts through the inferior vena cava. Caval penetration was graded on a five-point scale.@*Results@#All Celect filters were successfully deployed. The interval between the filter placement and the CT was 5.0 to 695.0 days, mean (42.4±84.6)days. No new pulmonary embolism, cava occlusion, filter fracture and migration were found. Forty-two (58.3%) filters tilted, including tilt>15 degrees in 8 (11.1%) and tilt ≤15 degrees in 34 (47.2%). Caval penetration with 0 grade was observed in 47 (65.3%) and beyond grade 1 was observed in 25 (34.7%), including grade Ⅰ in 12 (16.7%), grade Ⅱ in eight (11.1%), grade Ⅲ in four (5.6%) and grade Ⅳ in one (1.4%). No patient presented with symptoms associated with caval penetration. Filter retrieval was attempted in 54(75.0%) patients,the indwell time was 5.0 to 111.0 days, mean(32.0±23.9) days. There were 52 (96.3%) filters successfully removed, including four filters tilted lead retrieval hook embedded the caval wall, which used the adjunctive retrieval techniques. Filter retrieval failure in two (3.7%) cases, including one case retrieval hook embedded the caval wall and the other with retrieval hook penetration.@*Conclusions@#Celect inferior vena cava filter can effectively prevent PE, but had a tendency to tilt and to penetrate caval wall, which affected the filter retrieval, and had the potential risk of serious complications such as abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm. The filter should be removed as soon as the risk of PE is manageable. We advocate CT follow-up for patients with long-term inferior vena cava filter placement.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair(TEP) and traditional hernia repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia. Methods 94 inguinal hernia patients admitted in our hospital from January 2014 to August 2017 were randomly divided into two groups. 45 patients in the control group received conventional hernia repair and 49 patients in the study group received laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair. The clinical treatment effects between the two groups were compared. Results The overall incidence of complications in the study group was 4. 08％, which was lower than 17. 78％ in the control group(P＜0. 05). The hospitalization cost of the study group was higher than that of the control group. The hospitalization time, postoperative pain time and operation time in the study group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0. 05). The recurrence rate (0％) in the study group was lower than 6. 67％ in the control group(P＜0. 05). There was no significant difference in SDSand SASscores between the two groups before treatment(P＞0. 05). After treatment, the scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0. 05). Conclusion It is recommended to use TEPfor clinical treatment of inguinal hernia. Although this method is more expensive than conventional hernia repair, it can reduce the incidence of complications and make the disease recover quickly. It has great application value.

Independent t-test(accorded to normal distribution)was used to analyze the thrombolysis duration.The quantitative data were analyzed with analysis of varianc and the qualitative data were compared by the chi-square test. Results There was no significant difference in general clinical features among the three groups(P>0.05). The thrombolysis duration, total dosages and thrombolytic rate (≥50)were(5.8±1.3)d,(49.7±16.1)mg,86.0% for rt-PA-CDT group,and(6.3±1.5)d,(440±99)×104 U, 66.7% for UK-CDT group.The difference of thrombolysis duration was not statistically significant between the rt-PA-CDT group and UK-CDT group(t=-1.868, P>0.05). The thrombolysis rate of rt-PA-CDT group was significantly higher than that of UK-CDT group(χ2=4.315, P<0.05). The time of obtaining grade Ⅲthrombosis rate was shorter for rt-PA-CDT group(4.7±0.9)d compared with UK-CDT group(6.0±1.2 d) (t=-2.343,P<0.05).The clinical efficacy rates of the rt-PA-CDT group[88.4%(38/43)]and UK-CDT group [76.9%(30/39)]were significantly higher than that of anticoagulation group[26.5%(9/34)](P<0.05).There was no statistical difference between the rt-PA-CDT group and UK-CDT group(χ2=1.893, P>0.05). No severe complications were found in all groups. The incidence rates of mild complication of the rt-PA-CDT group, UK-CDT group and anticoagulation group were 16.3%(7/43), 17.9%(7/39)and 8.8%(3/34), respectively, and there were no significant differences among the three groups(χ2=1.396, P>0.05). Conclusion The clinical efficacy of CDT using rt-PA and UK for subacute DVT is better than simple anticoagulation treatment.Thrombolytic rate of rt-PA is superior to UK.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of catheter-directed thrombolysis combined with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in treating acute thrombo-embolism of artificial arteriovenous fistula.Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with acute thrombo-embolism of artificial arteriovenous fistula (84 events in total),who were admitted to single medical center during the period from January 2012 to September 2016,were retrospectively analyzed.The diagnosis of acute thrombo-embolism of artificial arteriovenous fistula was confirmed by angiography via femoral approach in all patients.Mechanical thrombectomy of the thrombotic occlusion segment by using common guide wire was carried out first,which was followed by bolus injection of urokinase (125,000-375,000 units);if the thrombus was not completely dissolved the catheter would be retained and the urokinase would be continuously infused with a micro-pump until the thrombus was completely dissolved.Conventional balloon dilatation would be employed when the stenosis of artificial arteriovenous fistula lumen was ＞50％ or the stenosis impeded the performance of dialysis.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to estimate the primary and secondary cumulative patency rates after the first intervention.Results Of the 84 interventional procedures,technical success was achieved in 69 procedures (82.1％).A total of 14 conventional balloon dilatation procedures had to be conducted as the fistula was seriously narrowed,and up to 12 procedures (85.7％) were succeeded.The overall clinical success rate was 78.5％ (66/84).During the therapeutic course,bleeding event occurred in 7 procedures (8.3％),including major bleeding (n=3) and minor bleeding (n=4).After the treatment,the 3-,6-,12-,24-month primary and secondary patency rates were 76.1％,63.6％,40.8％,12.5％ and 81.3％,70.8％,47.0％,32.5％respectively.Conclusion For the treatment of acute thrombo-embolism of artificial arteriovenous fistula,catheter-directed thrombolysis is safe and effective,it can assist conventional balloon dilatation therapy to obtain satisfactory therapeutic result for internal fistula stenosis.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of angioJet rheolytic thrombectomy (ART) and manual aspiration thrombectomy (MAT) combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in the treatment of acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis (IFVT).Methods 62 acute IFVT patients undergoing interventional treatment with either ART (group A,30 cases) or MAT (group B,32 cases) from 2014 to 2016,were enrolled in this study.Clinical efficacy and postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) rate were compared between the two groups.Results The instant thrombolysis rate in group A was 83.3％ (25/30),that was 59.4％ (19/32) in group B(P ＜ 0.05).Time used for adjunctive thrombolysis and dosages of UK in group A were (73.92 ±31.68)h and (110.71 ±44.83) × 104 U,while in Group B were (121.20 ±25.20)h and (313.49 ± 70.11) × 104 U,respectively (P ＜0.01).Final thrombolysis rate of these two groups were 93.3％ (28/30) and 87.5％ (28/32) (P ＞ 0.05).No severe complications occurred during the treatment of ART and MAT procedure.Fifty seven cases (91.9％) were followed-up,the valvular regurgitation rate in group A and group B were 14.3％ (4/28) and 37.9％ (11/29),respectively (P ＜ 0.05).PTS rate in group A was 25.0％ (7/28) and 37.9％ (11/29) in group B (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Interventional treatment for acute IFVT with ART and MAT can both achieve high clinical efficacy.ART are with higher instant thrombolysis rate and less valvular regurgitation compared with MAT.
RÉSUMÉ
This paper aims to explore the feasibility of building a finite element model of left atrial diverticulum (LAD) using reverse engineering software based on computed tomography (CT) images. The study was based on a three-dimensional cardiac CT images of a atrial fibrillation patient with LAD. The left atrium and LAD anatomical features were accurately reproduced by using Geomagic Studio 12 and Mimics 15 reverse engineering software. In addition, one left atrial model with LAD and one without LAD were created with ANSYS finite element analysis software, and the validity of the two models were verified. The results show that it is feasible to establish the LAD finite element model based on cardiac three-dimensional CT images using reverse engineering software. The results of this paper will lay a theoretical foundation for further hemodynamic analysis of LAD.
