RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: There is not a standard for rotational alignment of the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). For now, the most commonly methods are tibial-tubercle -landmark technique (TTL) and range-of-motion technique (ROM). The study is aimed to compare clinical outcomes and radiographic data of patients who undergone primary TKA with TTL or ROM technique. METHODS: This single-surgeon retrospective cohort study includes 60 patients with TTL technique and 60 with ROM technique from December 2017 to January 2019. All patients were evaluated clinically using Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS), Feller patellar score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and maximum knee flexion and extension angle before and after surgery at both 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. Radiographic data contain hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA), posterior slope angle (PSA) on pre and postoperative X-ray and rotation angle of femoral component (relative to surgical trans-epicondylar axis) and tibial component (relative to surgical trans-epicondylar axis, tibial posterior condylar line and Akagi') on postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan. Clinical outcomes and radiological data were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: One hundred twenty patients (120 knees) were enrolled in this study, including 38 males and 82 females, aged from 58 to 78, with an average of 65.7 years. There was no significant difference in demographics and preoperative X-ray data between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Clinical scores of the TTL group were better than those in the ROM group at 6 and 12 months after surgery, when comparing HSS (83.57 ± 5.00 vs 75.90 ± 4.89, F = 59.004, P < 0.001; 90.53 ± 4.31 vs 82.83 ± 4.98, F = 54.509, P < 0.001), Feller patellar score (21.43 ± 2.54 vs 19.10 ± 2.52, F = 14.864, P = 0.001; 26.27 ± 1.98 vs 23.20 ± 2.31, F = 42.204, P < 0.001) and VAS (3.70 ± 0.62 vs 4.38 ± 0.92, F = 14.508, P = 0.001; 2.10 ± 0.90 vs 2.79 ± 0.80, F = 11.554, P = 0.002). But there was no significant difference in the flexion and extension angle between the two groups. In imaging evaluation, no statistical difference was found in pre- and postoperative HKA, mLDFA, mMPTA and PSA. Rotational angles of tibial component only did relative to Akagi' have statistical difference in two groups (2.33 ± 4.3 vs 4.41 ± 3.2, t = 2.143, P < 0.05) (Positive value represented external rotation). CONCLUSION: The results of our study showed that both methods were reliable, and TTL technique provided better clinical scores and larger external angle of tibial component, compared to ROM technique.

Objective To establish a prostate urethral re-epithelialization model with Chinese rural canine by 2 μm laser vaporization resection.Methods We used 2 μm laser to vaporiz prostate of 15 uncastrated male Chinese rural canines from March to April in 2016.These canines mean age was (6.3 ± 0.6) years(ranging 5-7 years),and weight was (20.5 ± 1.3) kg(ranging 18-22 kg).We began to surgery in which we saw the protruding part of the prostate in urethra,and narrow prostate urethra after a successful anesthesia by intraperitoneal injection of chloral hydrate.The operation time,anesthesia time,survival rate,first time to drink water,first time to feed,first time to stand,first time to defecate,the time when canine bladders rinse became clear,wound healing time were recorded.After 3 days,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks and 4 weeks,we randomly select 3 canines to observe regeneration of prostate urethra wound under cystoscope.After surgery,the bladder,prostate and prostate distale urethra were removed to make specimen and measure the diameter size of prostate.The HE staining and immunohistochemistry was performed in each sample.Results The experimental operation time was (70.5 ± 18.3) min (ramging 50-90 min).The average anesthesia time was (120.1 ± 21.1) min (ranging 95-145 min).The survival rate was 100％.In post surgery duration first standing time,first eating time,first drinking water time,first defecation time were (6.5 ± 1.8) h,(10.3 ± 2.1) h,(23.7 ± 5.6) h,(26.3 ± 3.1) h,respectively.The time when canine bladders rinse became clear and wound healing time were (5.2 ± 1.6) d,(8.7 ± 1.5) d respectively.Cystoscopy observated that the wound was covered by pale necrotic tissue 3 d and 1 week after operation,covered by epithelium 2 weeks after operation,covered by more thicker epithelium 3 weeks after operation,covered by epithelium which color was close to normal urothelium 4 weeks after operation.HE staining observated that the wound wasn't covered by epithelium 3 d after operation,partial wound was covered by flaky single or 2-3 cubic regenerated epithelial 1 week after operation,all wound was covered by epithelial which was lack of polar 2 weeks after operation,wound was covered by polarity epithelium which was thicken to 5-6 layer and observated a little umbrella cells on the surface 3 weeks after operation,wound was covered by polarity epithelium which was thicken to 5-6 layer and observated much umbrella cells on the surface 4 weeks after operation.Immunohistochemical staining observated that urinary spot protein from the wound or epithelium was negative 3 d,1 and 2 weeks after operation,urinary spot protein from the part of epithelium was positive 3 weeks after operation,and urinary spot protein from all epithelium was positive 4 weeks after operation.Conclusion It is feasible to establish prostate urethral re-epithelialization model in the Chinese rural canine by 2 μm laser vaporization resection of the prostate.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) in breast cancer.Methods Tissue samples of 76 breast cancers and corresponding paired adjacent normal tissues were collected and made into tissue micrcarrays (TMAs).Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis was performed to detect the expression of LDHA and further analyzed the correlation of LDHA expression and clinicopathological variables and prognosis of breast cancers.Results LDHA was frequently upregulated in breast cancer tissues compared to the normal breast tissues (P ＜ 0.05).High LDHA expression was associated with distant metastasis (P ＜ 0.05) and worse patient prognosis (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions LDHA is closely related to the occurrence and clinical progress of breast cancers.LDHA might be a potential novel molecular marker for diagnosis,prognosis and therapy in breast cancers.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of surgery combined with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of glaucoma by meta-analysis based on clinical controlled trial. METHODS: All the prospective randomized controlled trialsof surgery combined with TCM in the treatment of glaucoma were searched in the databases of Medline (1960-2015.1), CENTRAL (the Cochrane central register of controlled trials 1989-2015.1, EMBASE (1980â¼2015.1) and CNKI (1979-2015.1). Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of the included studies, extracted the relevant data and performed a cross-check. The pooled relative risk (RR) or standard mean difference (SMD) of surgery combined with TCM versus western medicine or surgery alone were calculated as the effect size by meta-analysis method. All the data was analyzed by stata11.0 software (http://www.stata.com; Stata Corporation, College Station, TX). RESULTS: Finally, eleven clinical controlledtrails with 843 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that the surgery combined with TCM treatment procedure can significant improve the vision recovery rate compared to control group (RR=1.22, 95% CI:1.06â¼1.40, P=0.005); And after treatment, the visual field in combined group was significantly improved compared to control group (SMD=0.26â¼95% CI:0.09â¼0.43, P=0.003). CONCLUSION: Surgery combined with TCM can improve the vision recovery rate and the visual fieldin the treatment of glaucoma compared to surgery or western medicine alone.
