Efficacy of arthroscopic distal clavicle resection in repair of rotator cuff with acromioclavicular arthritis: a Meta-analysis / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective To systematically review the efficacy of arthroscopic distal clavicle resection (DCR) in repair of rotator cuff (RCR) with acromioclavicular arthritis.Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,Medline EMbase,CBM and WanFang Data were searched for studies up to May 2016 concerning the efficacy of arthroscopic distal clavicle resection in repair of rotator cuff with acromioclavicular arthritis.Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,extracted the data and assessed the methodological quality of the studies included.Next,meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software to compare the efficacy between the patients undergoing arthroscopic DCR plus RCR and those undergoing simple arthroscopic RCR.The randomized control trails (RCT) and clinical control trials (CCT) included were evaluated according to Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Version 5.1.0) and Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS),respectively.Results A total of 5 studies (3 RCTs and 2 CCTs) involving 465 patients were included.No statistically significant difference was found between the RCR and the DCR plus RCR patients in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score,Constant score,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score,shoulder range of motion (ROM),postoperative acromioclavicular pain or rotator cuff retear (P ＞ 0.05).The 3 RCTs showed moderate bias risk and the 2 CCTs scored 21 MINORS points.Conclusion Since current evidence shows no advantages of arthroscopic DCR over RCR in repair of rotator cuff with acromioclavicular arthritis in VAS score,Constant score,ASES score,shoulder ROM,postoperative acromioclavicular pain or rotator cuff retear,arthroscopic DCR should not be recommended for routine use in clinic.

Meta analysis of three-dimensional printing patient-specific instrumentation versus conventional instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty / 中华外科杂志

Objective@#To evaluate the effects of three-dimensional printing patient-specific instrumentation(PSI) versus conventional instrumentation(CI) in the total knee arthroplasty.@*Methods@#According to "patient-specific" , "patient-matched" , "custom" , "Instrumentation" , "Guide Instrumentation" , "cutting blocks" , "total knee arthroplasty" , "total knee replacement" , "TKA" and "TKR" , the literature on PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane library, CBM and WanFang were searched. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the high quality randomized control trial (RCT) studies about three-dimensional (3D) printing patient-specific instrumentation versus conventional instrumentation in the total knee arthroplasty were collected. The post-operative limb mechanical axis outlier, the position of the components outlier, post-operative knee function, operative time, post-operative blood transfusion and complications were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software.@*Results@#A total of 13 high quality RCT studies were included. The results of Meta-analysis show that there were no statistical differences in the post-operative limb mechanical axis outlier(Z=0.55, P=0.58, 95% CI: 0.78 to 1.56), femoral coronal component outlier(Z=0.38, P=0.71, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.72), tibia coronal component outlier(Z=1.95, P=0.05, 95% CI: 1.00 to 3.38), femoral rotation angle outlier(Z=0.36, P=0.72, 95% CI: 0.49 to 1.64), post-operative knee function(Z=1.18, P=0.24, 95% CI: -0.66 to 2.63), post-operative blood transfusions(Z=0.74, P=0.46, 95% CI: -0.10 to 0.05) and complications(Z=0.18, P=0.86, 95%CI: -0.07 to 0.05) between the PSI group and the CI group. But there are statistical differences in the operation time(Z=2.66, P=0.01, 95% CI: -15.97 to -2.41)and tibia sagittal component outlier (Z=3.69, P=0.00, 95% CI: 1.43 to 3.18)between the PSI group and the CI group.@*Conclusions@#In the primary total knee arthroplasty the PSI is not superior over the CI for the knee without severe knee varus or valgus deformity or contracture deformity, without the deformity around the knee and without the knee bone loss and obesity. The use of PSI in the primary total knee arthroplasty are not recommend.

Comparison of arthroscopic double-pulley knotless suture bridge and conventional arthroscopic suture bridge for rotator cuff repair / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective To compare arthroscopic double-pulley knotless suture bridge with conven tional arthroscopic suture bridge in repair of rotator cuff tear.Methods From May 2013 to May 2015,70patients with rotator cuff tear were repaired at our department.They were 38 males and 32 females,with a mean age of 53.7 years.They were randomized into 2 equal groups to receive repair either using arthroscopic double-pulley knotless suture bridge (the experimental group) or using conventional arthroscopic suture bridge (the control group).The 2 groups were compared postoperatively in terms of VAS (visual analogue scale),Constant,ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) and UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) scores,shoulder range of motion,and rotator cuff retear.Results The 2 groups were compatible with no significant differences in gender,age,laterality,tear type,or preoperative function or range of motion of the shoulder joint (P ＞ 0.05).At 12 months postoperatively,the VAS,Constant,ASES and UCLA scores and shoulder range of motion in the experimental group were respectively 1.1 ± 1.3,86.0 ±8.9,13.3 ± 0.8,32.0 ± 2.9,156.8° ± 15.0° and 55.9° ± 5.8°,significantly improved than the preoperative values (P ＜0.05).At 12 months postoperatively,the VAS,Constant,ASES and UCLA scores and shoulder range of motion in the control group were respectively 1.3 ± 1.3,86.6 ±4.2,13.1 ± 1.0,31.1 ±2.6,153.3°±10.0° and 55.7° ± 5.1 °,significantly improved than the preoperative values (P ＜ 0.05).At 12 months postoperatively,there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in VAS,Constant,ASES or UCLA scores or shoulder range of motion (P ＞ O.05).No case of rotator cuff retear occurred in the experimental group while 5 cases were observed in the control group,showing a significant difference (0 versus 14.3％) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with conventional arthroscopic suture bridge,arthroscopic double-pulley knotless suture bridge presents no significant differences in range of motion or function of the shoulder joint in repair of rotator cuff tear.However,the latter may lead to a lower incidence of rotator cuff retear and,additionally,is less skillfully demanding.

Diffusion tensor imaging and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging on young patients with major depressive disorder / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Objective To explore the pathological mechanism of brain function and structure in young patients with major depressive disorder by diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI).Methods Sixteen participants diagnosed with major depression (MD) and 16 healthy age and gender-matched controls(HC) were recruited. Resting state fMRI and DTI brain scans were performed on all participants. A voxel-based method (VBM) was used to analyze the DTI datasets, and regional homogeneity (ReHo) approach was applied to preprocess the fMRI datasets. The value of fractional anisotropy (FA) and ReHo maps were obtained in the whole brain.Results FA values in the MD group were significantly lower than those of the healthy controls in the white matter of the left middle temporal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, left medial frontal gyrus, right precentral gyrus, left angular gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right sub-gyral, left insula, and left pyramis (P＜0.01). ReHo in the MD group decreased in the left superior frontal gyrus, right superior frontal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, left medial frontal gyrus, right medial frontal gyrus, left paracentral lobule, right paracentral lobule, right inferior parietal lobule, left postcentral gyrus, right postcentral gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, left lingual gyrus, right putamen, right cingulate gyrus, right cuneus, left superior temporal gyrus, and right middle temporal gyrus (P＜0.01). Conclusion Abnormality of brain white microstructure and function exist widely in young patients with major depressive disorder. Abnormal connection of structures and function between the brain areas may be the key reason for the depression.

Review of Studies on the Regulation Mechanism of the Division Site in Prokaryocyte / 微生物学通报

In bacterial cells, selection of the proper division site at midcell requires the specific inhibitions of septation at two other potential sites, locate at each of the cell pole. This site specific inhibition of septation is mediated by the gene products of the min locus including three genes: minC, minD, and minE. Genetic and expression studies have revealed that MinC encode an inhibitor of division that is activated by MinD and toplogically regulated by MinE. Recent localization studies of functional Min proteins tagged with green fluorescent proteins have provide some insight into this topological regulation and revealed a fascinating oscillation of MinC and MinD between the cell halves. In this paper, it is reviewed that the progress on the regulation mechanism of the division site in bacterial cells by introducing the structure and their interaction of the study on Min proteins.
