Mid-term effectiveness of arthroscopic Bankart repair in treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the mid-term effectiveness of arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 107 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation who met the inclusion criteria between January 2017 and June 2021 was retrospectively analyzed, and all patients underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair. There were 88 males and 19 females. The age of the primary dislocation ranged from 13 to 48 years (mean, 23.3 years). The number of preoperative dislocations was 2-160 times (median, 7 times). The duration of preoperative instability was 0.2-240.0 months (median, 36.0 months). The mean age at operation was 28.2 years (range, 16-61 years). There were 43 cases of left shoulder and 64 cases of right shoulder. The proportion of glenoid defects in 63 patients was 1.7%-16.1% (mean, 8.1%). MRI showed that none of the patients had rotator cuff tears or shoulder stiffness. The CT three-dimensional reconstruction was performed at 1 day after operation to evaluate the distribution of implanted anchors and the occurrence of glenoid split fracture and whether there were nails pullout at the implant site. The postoperative complications were observed, and the pain and function of the shoulder were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Rowe score, Constant-Murley score, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. The recurrence of instability, the results of apprehension test, the number of patients who returned to preoperative sports level, and the satisfaction rate of patients were recorded.@*RESULTS@#All patients were successfully operated and were followed up 20-73 months (mean, 41.5 months). All incisions healed by first intention. The CT three-dimensional reconstruction at 1 day after operation showed that the anchors were located at the 2 : 00-5 : 30 positions of the glenoid, and there was no glenoid split fracture or nails pullout at the implant site. At last follow-up, VAS score was significantly lower than that before operation, and Rowe score, Constant-Murley score, and ASES score were significantly higher than those before operation ( P<0.05). Seven patients (6.5%) had recurrence of anterior shoulder dislocation at 23-55 months (mean, 39.9 months) after operation, including 6 cases of dislocation and 1 case of subluxation. At last follow-up, 51 patients (47.7%) returned to preoperative sports level, and 11 patients (10.3%) had a positive apprehension test. The patients' satisfaction rate was 90.7% (97/107). Among the 10 patients who were not satisfied with the surgical effectiveness, 7 patients had postoperative recurrence of instability, and 3 patients felt that they did not return to preoperative sports level.@*CONCLUSION@#Arthroscopic Bankart repair has good mid-term effectiveness in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations, minimal or no glenohumeral bone defects and low sports need.

Neuroprotective effects of brimonidine on retinal ganglion cells induced by oxidative stress mitochondrial dysfunction / 中华实验眼科杂志

Objective To explore whether brimonidine has a protective effect on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) through improving mitochondrial function under the oxidative stress.Methods Mouse RGC-5 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing low concentration of glucose (1 g/L),10％ fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin-streptomycin solution.The cells were divided into normal control group,H2O2-treated group and brimonidine+ H2O2 group.H2O2 at the concentration of 800 μmol/L was added into the medium in the H2O2-treated group,and 1 μmol/L brimonidine was added into the medium for 2 hours prior to the addition of H2O2 in the brimonidine+H2O2 group.The cells were sequently cultured for 24 hours.The morphology of the cell nucleus was examined by Hoechst fluorscence staining.The expressions of apoptosis-related protein in the cells were detected by Western blot assay.Mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed by JC-1 staining.Results The cell nuclei showed round or oval in shape with consistent size in the normal control group.The pycnosis and karyorrhexis of the cell nuclei were seen in the H2O2-treated group,and less abnormal nuclei were found in the brimonidine+H2O2 group.The relative expression level of bcl-2 protein in the cells was 0.76±0.15,0.50±0.13 and 0.75±0.17 in the normal control group,H2O2-treated group and brimonidine + H2O2 group,respectively,and the expression of bcl-2 protein in the H2O2-treated group was significantly lower than that in the normal control group and brimonidine+H2O2 group (both at P＜0.05).The relative expression level of bax protein in the cells was 0.65±0.13,0.83±0.07 and 0.70±0.10 in the normal control group,H2O2-treated group and brimonidine+H2O2 group,respectively,and the expression of bax protein in the H2O2-treated group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group and brimonidine+H2O2 group (both at P＜0.05).A strong orange fluorescence was seen in the mitochondrial membrane of RGC-5 in the normal control group with a coexpression with the green fluorescence of cell membrane.In the H2O2-treated group,the orange fluorescence intensity in the cells was evidently weakened,and the number of JC-1 responsed cells was considerably increased and the orange fluorescence intensity was enhanced in the brimonidine + H2O2 group.Conclusions Brimonidine can prevent RGCs from oxidative-stress damage by improving the mitochondrial function and therefore play a potential neuroprotective effect on optic nerve.

Morphological changes of retina in the rats model of high intraocular pressure induced by carbomer / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM: To provide the morphological evidence for the compound carbomer building high intraocular pressure model successfully.? METHODS: Totally 50 SD rats were divided into experimental group 40 rats, blank group 10 rats by random number method. The rats in experimental group were randomly divided into 3 groups after the model was successful. Experimental model of high intraocular pressure was sacrificed at 1, 2 and 3wk to observe its pathological structure change and ultrastructure change.? RESULTS: The high intraocular pressure of experimental model in 1, 2 and 3wk all showed the optic nerve and retinal damage. It was to see the optic nerve axon disappear, disorder arrangement of myelin sheath, periodic dissolve or demyelinating degeneration, glial cell proliferation. It showed the cells disordered arrangement of retina, the outer nuclear layer became thick, the inner and outer plexiform layer become thick, the kernel layer became thick, air bubbles, the numbers of ganglion cells reduced, ganglion cells and nerve fiber layer edema, microglia proliferation, vascular membrane capillaries expansion, inflammatory cells appearing. It was to see the retinal ganglion cells layer with microglia proliferation under the electron microscope, ganglion cells structure fuzzy, organelles structures disappear, cell apoptosis, mitochondrial swelling, cytoplasm vacuoles degeneration, membrane plate of outer segment fracture or dissolved. And the damage degree was proportional to the forming time of high intraocular pressure.? CONCLUSION: The morphology change of high intraocular pressure model about the retin and optic nerve proves that it is successful building the model through anterior chamber injection of compound carbomer solution.

Effects of sepia on hematopoietic stem cells,granulocyte and monocyte progentior cells and peripheral WBC in mice / 中国海洋药物

Objective To investigate the effects of sepia on stem cells,granulocyte and monocyte progentior cells and peripheral WBC in mice.Methods Different dosages of sepia were given to normal and model mice with hematopoietic system impairment respectively.The numbers of CFU-S,CFU-GM and peripheral WBC in normal and model mice were measured respectively with the method of hematopoietic progenitor cells cultured in vitro and the technique of experimental hematology.Results Sepia could enhance the number of CFU-S,CFU-GM and peripheral WBC in normal mice significantly,resist the decrease of CFU-S,CFU-GM,and peripheral WBC in model mice of hemapoiecsis impaired effectively and promote the restoration of those indices mentioned above in model mice significantly.Conclusion Sepia has significant effects on stimulating granulopoiesis in bone marrow in mice.The mechanism may be related to regulating immunological function and inducement GM-CSF and other sorts of cellular factors,which in turn promote the multiplication differentiation of CFU-S and CFU-GM.
