Based on the guidelines of the diagnostic test systematic review, this study elaborated the statistical processing of the pooling of data detailed in the systematic review of diagnostic test, discussed the methods for identification and handling of the heterogeneity, evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of the index of the accuracy in diagnostic tests, and proposed the identification method of the publication bias. It also took the data from the published article entitled “Diagnostic Value of ProGRP and NSE for Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis” as an example for analysis and illustration, which presented clearly the data processing and interpretation of the systematic review of diagnostic test, in order to provide references for clinical researchers to study and conduct the systematic review of diagnostic test.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of double-needle suture for mixed meniscus tear repair under arthroscope. Methods Between April 2006 and January 2011, 22 patients with mixed meniscus tear were treated with double-needle suture under arthroscope. There were 14 males and 8 females, aged 18-41 years (mean, 31.3 years). All injuries were caused by sports. The time between injury and admission ranged from 2 days to 4 years (median, 11 months). International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score was 42.5 ± 15.2, Lysholm score was 45.5 ± 13.5, and Tegner score was 2.9 ± 1.6. Seventeen cases complicated with anterior cruciate ligament injury. Results Healing of incision by first intention was achieved in all patients. No injury of nerve and blood occurred. The patients were followed up 12-48 months with an average of 27.6 months. According to Barrett et al. standard, 19 cases (86%) got clinical healing. The IKDC, Lysholm, and Tegner scores were improved to 77.1 ± 8.9, 79.8 ± 9.9, and 6.8 ± 1.6 respectively at last follow-up, showing significant differences when compared with preoperative scores (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Arthroscopic meniscus repair using double-needle suture can provide good effectiveness because it has high firmness.
Objective To evaluate the accuracy and investigate the influence factors of preoperative T staging by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in patients with postoperative pathological stage of T2 esophageal carcinoma (EC). Methods A total of 206 patients with EC underwent EUS and curative operation in Henan Tumor Hospital from March 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled, among whom 81 patients were identified with pathological stage of T2 EC followed by esophageal resection without induction therapy. There were 59 males and 22 females, with a mean age of 63.9 years and meadian age of 63.0 years. We reviewed the medical records of the 81 patients and compared EUS findings with histopathologic results according to clinicopathologic factors. Results The overall accuracy of EUS for evaluating staging of T2 EC was 61.7% (50/81), while 38.3% (31/81) were overstaged by EUS. Accuracy differed between the accurate staging group and over staging group (P=0.023). There was no significant difference in sex, age, tumor location and shape, histologic type, tumor differentiation or lymph node metastasis between two groups. Conclusion EUS is highly overstaged in the diagnosis of postoperative pathological stage of T2 EC. Higher postoperative pathological TNM stage appears to be a factor of EUS overstaging in patients with postoperative pathological stage of T2 EC.
Objective To investigate arthroscopic treatment for acute acromioclavicular dislocation by using Twin Tail TightRope combined with distal joint capsular repair. Methods The clinical data of 40 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation treated between February 2016 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into arthroscopic group (20 cases, using arthroscopic Twin Tail TightRope combined with distal joint capsular repair for anatomical repair of stable structure of acromioclavicular joint) and control group (20 cases, treated with clavicular hook plate internal fixation) according to different surgical methods. There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, Rockwood classification, time from injury to operation, preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Constant score between the two groups (P>0.05), which were comparable. Postoperative VAS score and Constant score were used to assess shoulder function and re-dislocation was also observed. Results The incisions of the two groups healed by first intention, and no early postoperative complications occurred. All patients were followed up 12-18 months (mean, 13.5 months). Postoperative X-ray films showed good anatomical reduction in both groups, but the clavicular hook had a presense in the subacromial space in control group. All patients in arthroscopic group achieved satisfactory shoulder function and returned to work after operation; there was no obvious pain, no complications such as exposure of implant after operation, and no need to remove the implant. In the control group, 4 patients had obvious subacromial impingement pain after operation, and 1 patient had re-dislocation after removal of internal fixator at 1 year after operation; the rest had no complications related to internal fixation, and the internal fixators were removed at 1.0-1.5 years after operation, without re-dislocation. The VAS score and Constant score at 3 months and 1 year after operation in both groups significantly improved when compared with those before operation, and further improved at 1 year after operation (P<0.05). The VAS score and Constant score at 3 months and 1 year after operation in arthroscopic group were significantly better than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Arthroscopic treatment for acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation by using Twin Tail TightRope combined with distal capsular repair is more effective than traditional incision surgery and can obtain more satisfactory results in patient compliance and function recovery because of minimally invasive surgery.
Objective To analyze the effectiveness of flexible internal fixation with locking plate for distal femoral fractures. Methods Between January 2015 and June 2016, 21 cases of distal femoral fractures were treated. There were 5 males and 16 females with an average age of 62 years (range, 32-88 years). Injury was caused by falling in 14 cases, by traffic accident in 5 cases, and by falling from height in 2 cases. The fractures located at the left side in 13 cases and the right side in 8 cases. Twenty cases were fresh closed fractures and 1 case was open fracture. According to AO/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/OTA) typing, there were 5 cases of type 33-A1, 3 of type 33-A2, 8 of type 33-A3, 2 of type 33-C2, and 3 of type 33-C3. The time from injury to operation was 3-13 days (mean, 6.5 days). Results All operation incisions healed primarily. Eighteen patients were followed up 12-24 months (mean, 16 months). All fractures healed, and the healing time was 8-24 weeks (mean, 16.6 weeks). The articular surface was smooth and the thigh length was recovered. No screw loosening, plate breakage, valgus or varus of the knee, stiff of the knee or non-unions occurred during follow-up. There was no significant difference in visual analogue scale (VAS) score between at 6 and 12 months after operation (P>0.05), and the difference was significant bewteen the other time points (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the range of motion of knee between 1 month and 3, 6, 12 months (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between 3, 6, and 12 months (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the Neer scores between 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation (P<0.05). According to Neer score criteria, the results were excellent in 12 cases and good in 6 cases at 12 months after operation. Conclusion Flexible internal fixation with locking plate for distal femoral fractures can get good functional recovery.
