RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of patients received surgical treatment under the guidance of "West China Classification" of desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) in the shoulder girdle. Methods: The clinical data of 32 patients with DTF in the shoulder girdle admitted between June 2003 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 14 males and 18 females, aged 14-56 years with an average age of 36.8 years. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 7-19 cm, with an average of 11.1 cm. According to the "West China Classification" of DTF in the shoulder girdle, there were 4 cases of region Ⅰ, 3 cases of region Ⅱ, 6 cases of region Ⅲ, 3 cases of region Ⅳ, 5 cases of regions Ⅰ+Ⅱ, 5 cases of regions Ⅱ+Ⅲ, and 6 cases of regions Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ. In addition, the involvement of blood vessels and nerves was also taken into consideration for choosing a surgical approach. Finally, 12 cases were operated via anteroposterior approach (group A), 14 via posterior approach (group B), and 6 via combined anterior-posterior approach (group C). The 1993 Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS93) score (including pain, limb function, satisfaction, hand position, hand flexibility, and lifting ability), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, range of motion (ROM) of shoulder joint (including flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction), and complications of patients in the 3 groups were recorded and compared. Results: All the 32 patients were followed up 30-190 months, with an average of 94.6 months. At last follow-up, complications occurred in 5 cases (15.6%), including 2 cases (16.6%) in group A, 2 (14.3%) in group B, and 1 (16.6%) in group C. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications among the 3 groups ( P=1.000). Tumor recurrence occurred in 5 (15.6%) cases, including 1 (8.3%) case in group A, 2 (14.3%) in group B, and 1 (16.6%) in group C. No significant difference was found in the recurrence rate among the 3 groups ( P=1.000). At last follow-up, MSTS93 score of pain, limb function, satisfaction, hand flexibility, and hand position in groups A and B were significantly better than those in group C ( P0.05). The lifting ability score in group C was significantly lower than in group A ( P0.05). The JOA score and flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction activities of shoulder in groups A and B were significantly better than those in group C ( P0.05). Conclusion: Taking a rational approach to fully expose and completely remove the tumor is the key point of surgical treatment for patients with DTF in the shoulder girdle. At the same time, preservation of vital structures and reconstruction of soft tissues should also be taken into consideration. Overall, surgical treatment under the guidance of "West China Classification" of DTF in the shoulder girdle has achieved satisfactory long-term effectiveness.

RESUMO

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. OBJECTIVES: In the current study, we aimed to (1) evaluate the early and late therapeutic effects of selective nerve root block (SNRB) for cervical radiculopathy, and (2) to determine the optimal time point for predicting the long-term effectiveness of cervical SNRB. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: Although SNRB is an important option for cervical radiculopathy, various studies of cervical SNRB have failed to specify its efficacy, especially long-term effectiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled 35 patients with cervical radiculopathy who were regularly followed-up for at least 1 year after SNRB. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain intensity and the modified Kim's method for patient satisfaction at regular follow-up intervals. In the correlation analysis, stepwise multiple linear regression was used to identify selected and unselected factors. RESULTS: The average VAS score decreased over time (p<0.05); the values just before the injection and at 1 week, 3 weeks, and 1 year of follow-up were 6.11, 3.29, 2.89, and 1.37, respectively. In the stepwise multiple regression analysis, the 1-week VAS score was related to the initial VAS score, the 3-week VAS score was related to the 1-week VAS score, and the last VAS score was related to the 3-week VAS score and symptom duration before the injection. The degree of satisfaction at the 1-year follow-up point was significantly associated with the 3-week VAS score (p=0.011). CONCLUSIONS: The current study showed that pain intensity at the 3-week time point after cervical SNRB might be the optimal time point for predicting long-term effectiveness.

RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate long-term radiographic and clinical effectiveness of total cervical disc replacement (TDR) with Prodisc-C prosthesis at a minimum of 10 years follow-up. Methods: The clinical data of 118 patients with cervical disc degeneration disease (CDDD) treated with TDR by using Prodisc-C prosthesis between December 2005 and April 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 66 males and 52 females, with the age of 25-62 years (mean, 46.8 years). There were 38 cases of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, 28 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and 52 cases of mixed cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The operative segments were C 3-7, including 90 cases of single segment, 20 cases of continuous double segments, and 8 cases of continuous three segments. A total of 154 Prodisc-C prostheses were used during the operation. The clinical effectiveness was evaluated by pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, neck disability index (NDI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, and Odom grade before and after operation. Imaging evaluation indicators included range of motion (ROM), sagittal lordosis angle, intervertebral disc height (IDH), and prosthesis displacement, subsidence, loosening, locking, and heterotopic ossification (HO), adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), and other complications. Patients were grouped according to whether HO or ASD occurred or not, the ROM of surgical segment was compared. Results: All patients were followed up 121-150 months (mean, 135.8 months). No revision operation was performed during the follow-up period. The VAS, NDI, JOA scores and Odom grades were significantly improved at 1 week after operation and last follow-up when compared with preoperative ones ( P0.05). The ROM of the whole cervical spine and the operative segment decreased at 1 week and 10 years after operation when compared with preoperative ones ( P0.05); there was no significant difference in the ROM between the upper adjacent segment (UAS) and the lower adjacent segment (LAS) at each time point after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in sagittal lordosis angle of cervical spine before and after operation ( P>0.05); the sagittal lordosis angle of operative segment increased significantly at 1 week, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after operation ( P0.05). No prosthesis displacement, subsidence, or loosening occurred at each time point after operation. There was no significant difference of the prosthetic displacement and subsidence distance between all time points after 6 months after operation ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the incidence of prosthetic locking/fusion was 10.4%, showing no significant difference when compared with 6 months (1.9%) ( P0.05). HO appeared in 58.4% of the segments at 6 months after operation, and the incidence of HO increased significantly with time, which was significantly different from that at 6 months after operation ( P<0.05). The ROM of operative segments in HO group was significantly lower than that in non-HO group at 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years after operation ( P<0.05). Conclusion: TDR has little effect on adjacent segments, although there are some imaging complications, it has no significant effect on the improvement of overall clinical effectiveness. Prodisc-C prosthesis can provide long-term, safe, and definite clinical effectiveness in the treatment of CDDD.

RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate the influence of the shell angle of cervical artificial disc on long-term effectiveness of cervical artificial disc replacement (CADR). Methods: The clinical data of 71 patients who were treated with single-level CADR with Bryan prosthesis between December 2003 and December 2007 and followed up more than 10 years, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 44 males and 27 females with an age of 26-69 years (mean, 45.9 years). According to the shell angle of the cervical artificial disc which was measured on the postoperative lateral X-ray film, the patients were divided into kyphotic group (shell angle was negative) and non-kyphotic group. The following evaluation indexes before operation and at last follow-up were compared between 2 groups. Radiographic indexes included the range of motion (ROM) of cervical spine, the ROM of operated level, Cobb angle of operated level (the negative value indicated that the segmental kyphosis occurred at operated level), paravertebral ossification (PO) grades (grades 3 and 4 were high grade PO). Clinical indexes included Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, neck disability index (NDI), and overall effectiveness evaluation (Odom criteria). Results: There were 24 patients in kyphotic group and 47 patients in non-kyphotic group. There was no significant difference in baseline data including gender, age, and operated level between 2 groups ( P>0.05). All the patients in 2 groups were followed up 121-165 months (mean, 128 months). There was no significant difference in preoperative ROM of cervical spine and ROM of operated level between 2 groups ( P>0.05); but the preoperative Cobb angle of operated level in kyphosis group was significantly lower than that in non-kyphotic group ( t=2.636, P=0.013). There was no significant difference in ROM of cervical spine at last follow-up between 2 groups ( t=1.393, P=0.168), however, the ROM and the Cobb angle of operated level in kyphotic group were significantly lower than those in non-kyphotic group ( P0.05). Conclusion: The shell angle of cervical artificial disc may lead to a decrease in the postoperative segmental ROM, and an increased occurrence of segmental kyphosis and high incidence of PO.

RESUMO

Objective To compare the long term effectiveness of tonsillotomy(TT)vs. tonsillectomy (TE)by hypercator in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)in children. Methods 119 children with tonsil hypertrophy were diagnosed with OSAHS and included in the study. Among them,57 children underwent TT by hypercator and 62 TE only after preoperative laboratory polysomnography(PSG). All participants were interviewed 5 years after operation to assess the satisfaction of their caregivers,investigate the frequency of respiratory infections,the rate of tonsil regrowth and evaluate their quality of life by Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18(OSA-18). Results Some of them received postoperative PSG. All parents reported alleviation of breathing obstruction,but the postoperative satisfaction in TT group was higher than TE group mainly because of the shorter time return to normal diet. The rate of the respiratory tract infections was not increased in all cases after surgery. Four cases of children were observed with tonsillar regrowth,but no surgery was needed for further treatment. The rate of the dry throat symptoms in TT group was lower than TE group. Conclusions Tonsillotomy by hypercator can effectively eliminate the obstruction symptoms in children with OSAHS,superior to TE for its shorter recovery period and smaller oral mucosal injury and lower rate of tonsils regrowth and it is worth to clinical promotion.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: In some patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency(VPI), Hypernasality can persist after surgical management. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP) is applied to these patients for treating hypernasality. The purpose of this study is to report follow-up results of postoperative CPAP therapy. METHODS: After performing palatal lengthening, CPAP therapy was applied to three patients for eight weeks from July of 2008 to November of 2009. Perceptual evaluation, nasometry, and nasopharyngeal endoscopy were performed to evaluate hypernasality, nasalance and size of the gap at velopharyngeal port. Each evaluation was made before surgery, right after CPAP therapy and during follow- up of more than a year after CPAP therapy. RESULTS: All of the patients showed improvement in hypernasality right after CPAP therapy according to the auditory perceptual evaluation, nasometry and nasopharyngeal endoscopy. But the improvement in hypernasality in these patients did not last during follow-up. CONCLUSION: In this study, our results suggest that CPAP therapy is effective in reducing hypernasality for postoperative VPI patients immediately after the therapy, but hypernasality may be worsen in some patients during follow-up. Therefore we recommend follow-ups after CPAP therapy to see if the efficacy of CPAP therapy lasts.

RESUMO

Transcatheter electrical ablation was performed in 5 patients, none of them showed clinical effectiveness for treatment of antiarrhythmic drugs, with recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). The localization of ventricular ectopic focus mainly depended upon the results of pace mapping. Energy used for each transcatheter electrical ablation (TEA) was usually 150-250J and the total energy was 550J to 800J respectively for each patient. No recurrence of VT was ob-served in 4 cases during 19 to 41 (mean 26. 8) months of follow-up period, two of them without adminstration of drug. Sustained VT relapsed during the 4th months after ablation in one case, however, heart rate during VT was much slower than before. Our experience suggests that long-term effectiveness of TEA for treatment of drug-resist VT is inspiring.
