ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of rotating-platform prosthesis for valgus knee deformity in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical date of 25 cases (28 knees) of valgus deformity undergoing primary TKA by using Gemini MK II rotating-platform prosthesis. There were 6 males (7 knees) and 19 females (21 knees), aged from 47 to 82 years, with an average age of 64.8 years. The unilateral knee was involved in 22 cases and the bilateral knees in 3 cases. The causes included osteoarthritis in 20 cases (22 knees), rheumatoid arthritis in 4 cases (5 knees), and traumatic arthritis in 1 case (1 knee). The disease duration was 2-22 years (mean, 10.4 years). The main clinical symptoms were arthralgia combined with limited movement. According to the Keblish grade, there were 13 knees of mild deformity, 11 knees of moderate deformity, and 4 knees of severe deformity. ResultsAll incisions healed by first intension. No complications of infection, cutaneous necrosis, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism occurred. The postoperative follow-up duration was 12-60 months (mean, 25.4 months). Medial instability and palsies of nervus peroneus communis occurred in 1 and 2 cases respectively, and all were cured after symptomatic treatment. No patellar and polysthylene insert dislocation, prosthetic loosening or infection was observed. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, femoral tibial angle, maximun flexion and extension angles, knee range of motion, and patellar score were significantly improved at last follow-up when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.01). ConclusionThe rotating-platform prosthesis for valgus deformity can obtain satisfactory effectiveness, but it requires precise soft tissue balancing technology, and the long-term effectiveness remains further observation.
As a science which focuses on evidence, the decision making process of evidence medicine encounters an opportunity for development in the big data era. The starting point is shifting forward from evidence to data. The big data technology is playing an active role in evidence's collection, process and utilization. Evidence is more objective, righteous, authentic, transparent and easier to collect. Thus, to initiate evidence-based medicine research in the big data era and to structure an evidence-based medicine intelligent service platform, a full-scaled strategy should be developed in order to improve the quality of evidence. To promote the complete publicity of clinical research data, structuralized clinical data standard should be constructed. To provide a pathway to patients' follow-up data, portable and wearable monitoring devices should be popularized. To avoid risks from utilization of clinical research big data, regulations of clinical data usage should be implemented.
Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of management of children with epilepsy based on WeChat platform. Methods The WeChat platform for management of children epilepsy was designed according to the idea of the management of chronic diseases. The objective and control groups were investigated by the case-control study. Eighty children with epilepsy who took part in the platform were served as the experimental group. At the same time, 80 children with epilepsy who did not take part in the platform were served as the control group. The questionnaire of basic conditions and users’ perceived acceptance and usage of the platform designed by ourselves were used to collect related information. Results Sixty parents of children with epilepsy continuously used the platform and among them 48 parents (80.0%) had high satisfaction degree of the platform. The factors which affected the satisfaction degree of the platform among basic conditions included whether the users were busy, the comprehensive degree of knowledge about epilepsy before they took part in the study and the degree of taking medicine on time(P<0.05).There were no differences in satisfaction degree among different children sex, residence, parents’ sex, education level, approaches and willingness of knowledge acquisition(P>0.05). Follow-up of 60 children with epilepsy who had been in the platform for 6 months showed total effective rate was 96.7%, while the total effective rate of the control group was 81.4%. Conclusions Management of children with epilepsy based on WeChat platform is feasible and well accepted. Not only does it contribute to standard long-term management of children epilepsy and health education, but also it improves the efficiency of clinical treatment. It is a new way of the management of children with epilepsy.

The field of clinical research was expected to be on pain in the future.ConclusionsAlthough acupuncture research is currently in a good stage of development, it should still value on the quality and innovative training of relevant trials, strengthen Chinese ties with other countries, focus on regional, domestic and international cooperation, expand research types, and enhance acupuncture applicability.
ObjectiveTo study the current situation of WeChat public platforms in 15 provincial hospitals in Hubei Province.MethodsWe searched the website of National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, website of Health Commission of Hubei Province, and the official website of each hospital. The WeChat public platforms of 15 provincial hospitals in Hubei Province was determined as the research object. Samples were taken in July, 2019 and the observation cut-off point was on October 30, 2019. All the contents released by the WeChat public platforms in July were counted. Literature research, descriptive statistics, content analysis, WeChat transmission index analysis, observation indicators and other methods were used for analysis and research.ResultsAmong the 15 hospitals, 14 hospitals (93.3%) had established 20 WeChat public platforms, and 5 hospitals (33.3%) simultaneously opened service accounts and subscription accounts. The functions of serving the patients’ medical experience mainly included identity registration, appointment registration, information inquiry, patient feedback, intelligent medical guidance, etc. WeChat tweets were mainly divided into 38.0% of popular medical science, 11.4% of hospital news, 15.8% of medical service, 13.6% of party and government construction, and 21.2% of patient interaction. The monthly push times of 6 WeChat public platforms (30.0%) were less than 4 times. The monthly original rate of WeChat public platform tweets was 16.3%. Among the top 10 WeChat public platforms in the WeChat communication index, 8 (80.0%) were service accounts. There was a big gap in the dissemination effect of tweets.ConclusionsThe WeChat public platform of provincial hospitals in Hubei Province has problems such as single type of WeChat public platform, imperfect service functions, unreasonable tweets frequency, insufficient originality of tweets, and uneven communication effects. It is necessary to enrich platform types, improve platform functions, ameliorate the frequency of tweets, improve the originality of tweets, and pay attention to communication effects.
