ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors and prevention strategies of postoperative delirium in Stanford B aortic dissection. MethodsClinical data of the patients diagnosed with Stanford B aortic dissection and undergoing endovascular aortic repair from January 2020 to August 2021 in our department were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a non-delirium group and a delirium group according to the presence of postoperative delirium. The risk factors for postoperative delirium after Stanford type B aortic dissection and the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on delirium were analyzed. ResultsA total of 659 patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection were enrolled, including 540 males and 119 females with a median age of 58.00 (41.00, 75.00) years. There were 450 patients in the non-delirium group, and 209 patients in the delirium group. There was no statistical difference in gender, body mass index, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and drinking history, cholesterol triglyceride level, or creatinine glomerular filtration rate (P＞0.05). Age was an independent risk factor for postoperative delirium in Stanford type B aortic dissection (OR=1.392, 95%CI 1.008-1.923, P=0.044). Moreover, whether dexmedetomidine was used or not had no effect on the duration of postoperative delirium (χ2=4.662, P=0.588). Conclusion Age is an independent risk factor for postoperative delirium in patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection. The incidence of postoperative delirium in young patients is lower than that in the patients with middle and elderly age, and it may be of reference value to prevent postoperative delirium. Dexmedetomidine has no significant effect on controlling the duration of postoperative delirium.
Objective To summarize the research progress of controlled release of angiogenic factors and osteogenic factors in bone tissue engineering. Methods The domestic and abroad literature on the controlled release structure of growth factors during bone regeneration in recent years was extensively reviewed and summarized. Results The sustained-release structure includes direct binding, microsphere-three-dimensional scaffold structure, core-shell structure, layer self-assembly, hydrogel, and gene carrier. A sustained-release system composed of different sustained-release structures combined with different growth factors can promote bone regeneration and angiogenesis. Conclusion Due to its controllability and persistence, the growth factor sustained-release system has become a research hotspot in bone tissue engineering and has broad application prospects.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of transosseous suture in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) double bundle reconstruction. Methods The clinical data of 75 patients with recurrent patella dislocation who met the selection criteria between January 2014 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All of them were treated with MPFL double bundle reconstruction, and divided into study group (39 cases, using new transosseous suture technique) and control group (36 cases, using traditional suture anchor fixation) depending on the intraoperative fixation technique. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, affected knee side, preoperative tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance, Insall-Salvati ratio, knee range of motion, Kujala score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, congruence angle, and tilt angle between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. Kujala score, IKDC score, and knee range of motion were used to evaluate the functional improvement of patients before and after operation. The congruence angle and tilt angle were measured on X-ray films. Results There was no significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). Patients in both groups were followed up 24-36 months, with an average of 29.4 months. There was no complication such as incision infection, fat liquefaction, patellar redislocation, and prepatellar pain during follow-up. At last follow-up, the Kujala score, IKDC score, knee range of motion, congruence angle, and tilt angle of two groups significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionThe application of suture anchor or transosseous suture to complete MPFL double bundle reconstruction can restore patellar stability, and there is no significant difference in the short-term effectiveness between them.
