Purpose To observe the color motion perception of patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in very early stage and find a good way to diagnose early DR in time． Methods The motion perceptions of patients with early DR and normal subjects were tested by using equiluminant moving chromatic grating and moving luminance grating generated on VGA monitor in a PC compatible computer and the results were compared with those of electroretinogram(ERG),oscillatory potentials(OPs) and color perception． Results When the two gratings were of equal spatial frequency and equal time frequency,the normal subjects judged that chromatic grating moved faster than luminance grating．Very signifincant differences were detected between blue/yellow grating and black/white grating while the luminance contrast of was 80% and the velocity was 20.2 mm/s or 14.3mm/s(Plt;0.01).The abnormal ratio of color motion perception(69.2%)was higher than that of color vision(43.6%) and ERG OPs(48.9%) when the luminance contrast of black/white grating was 80% and the velocity was 20.2mm/s. Conclusion The test of color motion perception provides new method for diagnosing early DR. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1998,14:135-138)
Fontan operation is still a main procedure for treatment of complex congenital heart disease, such as univentricular heart. Fontan procedure has undergone many revisions since its introduction in 1968. The earlyapplied atriumpulmonary connection has been replaced by total cavopulmonary connection. The midterm and late results of both the intraatrial lateral tunnel and extracardiac total cavopulmonary connections were compared and analyzed in this article. Extracardiac conduit is better. The Fontan circulation failure would appear at last because of nopump function of the right ventricle. Once Fontan circulation failure occurred and could not recover by medicine, heart transplantation is mandatory, but the source of donor heart is lacking. The study of mechanical cavopulmonary assist device, to “biventricularize” the univentricular Fontan circulation, has been developed, which is quite promising. Following the development of diagnostic and treatment techniques for fetal heart disease, the treatment procedure of complex congenital heart disease has been broadened in recent years, such as to prevent the severe aortic stenosis from developing into hypoplastic left heart syndrome with fetal cardiac intervention so as to increase the chance of biventricular repair, and to terminate gestation to decrease its birth rate of complex heart abnormalities, which could not be completely repaired to date.

ObjectiveTo review and evaluate the research progress of the robot-assisted joint arthroplasty.MethodsThe domestic and foreign related research literature on robot-assisted joint arthroplasty was extensively consulted. The advantages, disadvantages, effectiveness, and future prospects were mainly reviewed and summarized.ResultsThe widely recognized advantages of robot-assisted joint arthroplasty are digital and intelligent preoperative planning, accurate intraoperative prosthesis implantation, and quantitative soft tissue balance, as well as good postoperative imaging prosthesis position and alignment. However, the advantages of effectiveness are still controversial. The main disadvantages of robot-assisted joint arthroplasty are the high price of the robot system, the prolonged operation time, and the increased radioactive damage of the imaging-dependent system.ConclusionCompared to traditional arthroplasty, robot-assisted joint arthroplasty can improve the accuracy of the prosthesis position and assist in the quantitative assessment of soft tissue tension, and the repeatability rate is high. In the future, further research is needed to evaluate the clinical function and survival rate of the prosthesis, as well as to optimize the robot system.
Uveitis is a group of inflammatory diseases affecting the uveal tract, retina, retinal blood vessels and vitreous. Due to its complex etiology, various entities, diverse and lack of constancy in treatment, some patients can experience visual impairment and even loss. In view of the fact that blindness caused by uveitis is mostly incurable and occurs usually in young and middle-aged people, it accounts for an important part of blinding eye diseases and has attracted worldwide attention. With the continuous development of precision medicine, clinicians will face new problems and challenges in disease diagnosis, and further in-depth research is needed to explore more optimized and efficient diagnostic processes and examinations to improve the diagnosis of uveitis in China.
Objective To improve the accuracy of the acetabular component placement using the nonimage based surgical navigation system. Methods Twenty-three patients (14 males, 9 females; age, 28-55 years;26 hips）with hip disease underwent the total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the nonimage based surgicalnavigation system from February 2004 to April 2006. Rheumatoid arthritis was found in 3 patients (3 hips), necrosis of the femoral head in 6 patients (6 hips), and osteoarthritis in 14 patients (16 hips). All the patients were randomly divided into the following 2 groups: the navigated group (11 patients, 13 hips), treated by THA using the nonimage based surgical navigation system; and the control group (12 patients, 13 hips), treated by the traditional THA. According to thedesign of the study, the acetabular component was placed in the best inclination angle (45°) and the anteversion angle (15°). The postoperative component position was examined. Results No fracture, dislocation, infection or injury to the sciatic nerve was found. In the navigated group, the inclination and the anteversion reached 15.4±1.4° and 45.5±1.3°, respectively. In the control group,the inclination and the anteversion were 13.9±7.6° and 43.7±6.4°, respectively. The inclination difference was considered statistically significant (Plt;0.01). All the patients were followed up for 10-40 months,averaged 26 months. In the navigated group, the postoperative average Harris hip score was 95 (range,85-110), with an excellent result in 11 hips and a good result in 2 hips. In the control group, the postoperative average Harris hip score was 92 (range,75-110), with an excellent result in 9 hips, a good result in 3 hips, and a fair result in 1 hip. The Harris hip score difference was considered statistically significant (Plt;0.05). There was a significantly better result obtained in the navigated group than in the control group. Conclusion The acetabular component can be implanted accurately by the nonimage based surgical navigation system, which can reduce the incidence of the loosening of the prostheses and has an important value in clinical practice.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the early effectiveness of the robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) via direct superior approach (DSA).MethodsBetween March 2021 and April 2021, 11 patients (11 hips) were treated with a robot-assisted THA via DSA. There were 7 males and 4 females, with an average age of 55 years (range, 26-73 years). There were 5 patients of osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia and 6 patients of osteonecrosis of femoral head. Preoperative hip Harris score was 55.8±6.3. The operation time, volume of blood loss, length of incision, postoperative blood transfusion and hospital stay, and the incidence of surgical complications were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Harris score were used to evaluate hip joint pain and function. The leg length discrepancy (LLD) was measured on the X-ray films. The inclination angle and anteversion angle of the acetabular component were also measured, and the difference between the planned and actual values were compared.ResultsOne THA was performed via conventional posterolateral approach finally because of poor exposure. The rest of 10 THAs were performed with assistance of robotic arm via DSA. The average operation time was 89 minutes (range, 65-120 minutes); the average length of incision was 10.5 cm (range, 9-13 cm); and the average blood loss was 400 mL (range, 110-740 mL). One patient was given a blood transfusion for 2 unit. All incisions healed by first intention and no neurovascular injury, deep vein thrombosis, or fracture occurred. The length of hospital stay after operation was 2-6 days (mean, 4.4 days). The duration of follow-up was 1-3 months (mean, 2.1 months). The VAS score was 0 in 9 patients and 2 in 1 patient at the day of discharge. At last follow-up, the hip Harris score was 84.9±6.7, showing significant difference when compared with that before operation (t=−8.717, P=0.000). The inclination and anteversion angles were (37.4±2.0)° and (17.1±4.5)°, respectively, and there was no significant difference when compared with the planned values [(38.2±1.6)°, (16.6±3.7)°] (t=1.809, P=0.104; t=–1.103, P=0.299). The LLD ranged from –2 to 4 mm. No complication such as dislocation, aseptic loosening, or periprosthetic joint infection occurred. ConclusionThe robot-assisted THA via DSA has encouraged early effectiveness.
ObjectiveTo construct a multimodal imaging radiomics model based on enhanced CT features to predict tumor regression grade (TRG) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA) at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, including 199 LARC patients treated from October 2016 to October 2023. All patients underwent total mesorectal excision after NCRT. Clinical pathological information was collected, and radiomics features were extracted from CT images prior to NCRT. Python 3.13.0 was used for feature dimension reduction, and univariate logistic regression (LR) along with Lasso regression with 5-fold cross-validation were applied to select radiomics features. Patients were randomly divided into training and testing sets at a ratio of 7∶3 for machine learning and joint model construction. The model’s performance was evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the curve (AUC). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), confusion matrices, and clinical decision curves (DCA) were plotted to assess the model’s performance. ResultsAmong the 199 patients, 155 (77.89%) had poor therapeutic outcomes, while 44 (22.11%) had good outcomes. Univariate LR and Lasso regression identified 8 clinical pathological features and 5 radiomic features, including 1 shape feature, 2 first-order statistical features, and 2 texture features. LR, support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were established. In the training set, the AUC values of LR, SVM, RF, XGBoost models were 0.99, 0.98, 1.00, and 1.00, respectively, with accuracy rates of 0.94, 0.93, 1.00, and 1.00, sensitivity rates of 0.98, 1.00, 1.00, and 1.00, and specificity rates of 0.80, 0.67, 1.00, and 1.00, respectively. In the testing set, the AUC values of 4 models were 0.97, 0.92, 0.96, and 0.95, with accuracy rates of 0.87, 0.87, 0.88, and 0.90, sensitivity rates of 1.00, 1.00, 1.00, and 0.95, and specificity rates of 0.50, 0.50, 0.56, and 0.75. Among the models, the XGBoost model had the best performance, with the highest accuracy and specificity rates. DCA indicated clinical benefits for all 4 models. ConclusionsThe multimodal imaging radiomics model based on enhanced CT has good clinical application value in predicting the efficacy of NCRT in LARC. It can accurately predict good and poor therapeutic outcomes, providing personalized clinical surgical interventions.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and find the mechanism of multidrug resistance. MethodsTwenty patients with gastric cancer and 31 patients with colorectal cancer underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then operations. The preoperative specimens were stained by immunohistochemical techniques for testing p53,multidrug resistanceassociated protein (MRP), glutathione S transferase（GST）, telomerase. Resection specimens were evaluated for chemotherapy effect by routine histology; at the same time, the postoperative morbidity and mortality were observed. ResultsIn 51 patients, the response rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 27.45%(14/51),so multidrug resistance was a kind of common phenomena in gastrointestinal carcinomas. The postoperative morbidity was 15.69%(8/15), the main operation complication was infection,the mortality was 1.96%(1/51),only one person died from severe infection.The expression rate of p53, MRP, GST, telomerase was 58.0%,51.0%,66.7%,74.0%respectively, the location of p53 was at cell nucleus,location of MRP,GST was at cell memberane and cytoplasm,location of telomerase was at cytoplasm.The response rate had nothing to do with age, sex and metastasis. But it was related with p53 and telomerase expression. ConclusionNeoadjuvant chemotherapy is an effective, safe therapy. But the rate of drug resistance is high in gastrointestinal carcinomas, and the response rate is related to p53, telomerase expression.
