Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem. Genetic epidemiological studies have shown that the differences in host genes partly determine the susceptibility to tuberculosis. The occurrence of tuberculosis is the result of the joint action of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and host gene regulation immune response. The study of susceptibility candidate genes has differences in race, population and region, and the study of susceptibility gene polymorphism still has a long way to go in clinical precision diagnosis and treatment. The study and clinical application of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease can be used as a classic application of precision medical treatment in tuberculosis; although it is a rare case, this model is worthy of reference.
Objective To investigate the short-term effectiveness of the anterior and middle columns in thoracolumbar tuberculosis reconstructed with whole autogenous spinous process-laminar bone through posterior approach. Methods The retrospective study included 78 patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis who underwent posterior approach surgery and anterior and middle column bone graft reconstruction between January 2012 and May 2023. Based on the type of autogenous bone graft used, patients were divided into group A (whole autogenous spinous process-laminar bone graft, 38 cases) and group B (autogenous structural iliac bone graft, 40 cases). There was no significant difference of baseline data, such as age, gender, disease duration, involved segment of spinal tuberculosis, and preoperative erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), Oswestry disability index (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade, segmental kyphotic angle, and intervertebral height between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, hospital stays, ESR, CRP, VAS score, ODI, bone fusion time, ASIA grade for neurological status valuation, postoperative complications, change of segmental kyphotic angle, change of intervertebral height were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results The operation time in group A was significantly shorter than that in group B (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, and hospital stays between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients in the two groups were followed up 14-110 months (mean, 64.1 months); there was no significant difference in the follow-up time between the two groups (P>0.05). The ESR, CRP, ODI, and VAS score at each time point after operation in both groups significantly improved when compared with those before operation, and further improved with the extension of time, the differences were significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) except that the VAS score of group A was significantly better than that of group B at 3 days after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in fusion time between the two groups (P>0.05). The neurological function of most patients improved after operation, and there was no significant difference in ASIA grade between the two groups at last follow-up (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in segmental kyphosis angle and intervertebral height between the two groups at each time point (P>0.05), and no significant difference in segmental kyphosis angle, intervertebral height correction and loss were found between the two groups (P>0.05). In group A, there was 1 case of incision fat liquefaction and 1 case of incision infection; in group B, there was 1 case of deep venous thrombosis, 2 cases of pleural effusion, and 10 cases of pain in bone harvesting area; in both groups, there were 2 cases of gout caused by hyperuricemia. There was a significant difference in the incidence of pain in bone harvesting area between the two groups (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the incidence of other complications between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionWhole autogenous spinous process-laminar bone grafting is equivalent to structural iliac bone graft in reconstruction of the anterior and middle columns in thoracolumbar tuberculosis through posterior approach, effectively supporting the stability of the anterior and middle columns of the spine, while resulting in shorter operation time and less postoperative pain in bone harvesting area.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the progress of different methods for femoral tunnel positioning in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and provide a clinical reference for treatment of ACL rupture.MethodsThe literature about the femoral tunnel positioning in ACL reconstruction was widely reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages and the clinical results of each method were summarized.ResultsCurrently in ACL reconstruction, methods for femoral tunnel positioning include transtibial technique (TT), anteromedial technique (AM), outside-in (OI), modified TT (mTT), and computer assisted surgery. There is no significant difference in the postoperative effectiveness between TT technique and AM technique. Compared with the TT technique, the OI technique has higher rotational stability of knee, but there is no significant difference in clinical results. The femoral tunnel located by mTT technique is closer to the anatomical placement than that of TT technique, but mTT technique is not effective for systematically anatomic femoral tunnel positioning, and further research is needed to prove its advantages.ConclusionDifferent femoral tunnel positioning methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no definite evidence that one is superior than the rest.
We reported a patient intubated for more than 30 d following brain injury, transferred to our department with tracheocutaneous fistula and a 2 cm fistula between the trachea and the esophagus. We performed tracheal resection and esophageal closure with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap interposed between suture lines. The patient continued mechanical ventilation after surgery and the tracheotomy was achieved 14 d after the beginning of surgical treatment. The patient was started oral feeding and discharged on the 10 d after tracheotomy and referred to a neuromotor recovery clinic for treatment of post-traumatic sequelae.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common complications after cardiac surgery. The existing treatment of postoperative AF mainly focuses on preoperative prevention, intraoperative protection and postoperative treatment for factors prone to AF before, during and after surgery, but the postoperative treatment in various areas and hospitals is different. This article combines the latest literature published in Europace about the practice guidance of cardioversion of AF and atrial flutter, and summarizes the treatment of electrical cardioversion, in order to provide clinical guidance for electrical cardioversion of AF after cardiac surgery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the negative emotions of patients before cardiac surgery in West China Hospital in order to analyze the related factors.MethodsThe Huaxi emotional-distress index (HEI), a screening tool for mood disorders developed by the Mental Health Center of West China Hospital, was used for preoperative psychological evaluation of 1 968 adult patients hospitalized in cardiac surgery from March 2016 to July 2014. There were 835 males and 1 133 females at age of 49±13 years.Results Fifty-one patients (2.6%) had negative emotions, among whom 6 patients were screened for suicide risk. After intervention, none of them had serious consequences caused by adverse emotions, such as automatic discharge from hospital, avoidance of surgery and suicide.ConclusionThis study found that most of the cardiac surgery patients in West China Hospital have good psychological status before surgery, and a few suffered from negative emotions. “Huaxi emotional-distress index” is simple, effective and worth promoting.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. The metabolic changes of atrial myocytes, especially lipid metabolism, have a significant impact on the electrical signals and structural remodeling of atrial tissue, and play an important role in the occurrence and development of AF. The reduction of fatty acid oxidation ratio and increased aerobic glycolysis ratio are characteristic changes of tissue metabolic remodeling in AF. In this review, we will introduce the latest research status of lipid metabolism in AF from aspects of AF metabolism, clinical treatment and diagnosis and prognosis.
Aortic dissection during pregnancy is rare in clinics. Because the symptoms are lack of specificity, early diagnosis is difficult. However, the progression of aortic dissection is fast, therefore, the mortality of pregnant women and fetuses is high, and half of the death in pregnant women is due to aortic dissection. Although the development of medical condition is rapid, aortic dissection of pregnancy is still a great challenge for patients and clinicians, and is one of the most important diseases in obstetric medical disputes. In this paper, combined with the literatures published in recent years, we summarized the epidemiological characteristics and related treatment suggestions of the aortic dissection in pregnancy.
