[Effects of ultrasonic bone curettes combined with high-speed drills in posterior laminectomy and decompression procedure for severe thoracic spinal stenosis].
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combined use of ultrasonic bone curette with the high-speed drill in posterior laminectomy and decompression procedure for severe thoracic spinal stenosis, and propose the optimal cutting position for ultrasonic bone curette during the laminectomy. Methods: By observing and measuring the parameters of thoracic pedicle, lamina, inner wall of the vertebral canal and their relation with the surrounding structures on cadavers, we provided a morphological marker for laminectomy by an ultrasonic bone curette. Data of 19 patients with severe thoracic spinal stenosis treated by posterior laminectomy and decompression were collected from June 2017 to June 2018 in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. ⋯ There was one case of dura injury and one case of thoracic nerve root injury during the operation in group B. Conclusions: It is safer and more reliable for the combined use of ultrasonic bone curette with the high-speed drill in posterior laminectomy and decompression procedure for the severe thoracic spinal stenosis. The interface between the cortical bone and the medial edge of cancellous bone of the pedicle could be identified as the cutting mark for ultrasonic bone curette in this procedure.

[Technical notes and clinical efficacy analysis of full-endoscopic thoracic discectomy via transforaminal approach].
Objective: To study the technical notes and clinical efficacy of full-endoscopic thoracic intervertebral discectomy via transforaminal approach. Methods: We included 16 patients with thoracic disc herniation treated by full-endoscopic thoracic discectomy via transforaminal approach between January 2017 and September 2018 in ours department of orthopedics. The average age is 53.7 years. ⋯ Back pain and radicular pain were all relieved obviously in all patients, and spinal cord function was obviously restored. Transient intercostal neuralgia occurred in 2 cases after operation, and no other surgical complications occurred. Conclusions: Full-endoscopic or fluoroscopic foraminoplasty and full-endoscopic thoracic discectomyvia transforaminal approach under local anesthesia is a safe and effective treatment for soft and hard thoracic disc herniation located on the ventral side of the spinal cord.

[Minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion significantly improves the sagittal balance for adult degenerative scoliosis].
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF/OLIF) on the sagittal balance of adult degenerative scoliosis. Methods: From January 2014 to June 2017, a total of 23 patients with degenerative scoliosis underwent staged minimally invasive surgery in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. All patients were implanted with LLIF or OLIF cage from the lateral approach first, and was followed by the posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation or pedicle screw fixation via Wiltse approach. ⋯ No major complications occurred in this group. Conclusions: Minimally invasive LLIF/OLIF can significantly improve the coronal and sagittal balance of adult degenerative scoliosis. Staged minimally invasive surgery can significantly alleviate pain and improve function in these patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Analysis of sugammadex for antagonistic neuromuscular block in patients with radical resection of lung cancer under thoracoscope].
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of sugammadex for antagonistic neuromuscular block in patients with radical resection of lung cancer under thoracoscope. Methods: One hundred patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer under thoracoscope in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March to September in 2019, were randomly divided into control group (group C) and sugammadex group (group S). All patients were anaesthetized (induced and maintained) with intravenous target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil, and intermittent intravenous injection of the neuromuscular block of rocuronium. ⋯ There were no significant difference of the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting between these two groups. There were 5 patients with respiratory depression in group C and no respiratory depression patient in group S, the difference was statistically significant between these two groups (χ(2)=5.263, P<0.05). Conclusion: Sugammadex is effective for antagonizing the neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium in patients with radical resection of lung cancer under thoracoscope, and can shorten the time of tracheal tube extubation after surgery.

Comparative Study[A comparative analysis of the efficacy of Advance(®) medial pivot prosthesis knee arthroplasty with posterior cruciate ligament retention or substituting based on propensity score matching].
Objective: To compare the clinical outcome of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention type and PCL substituting type using Advance(®) Medial Pivot (AMP) inner-axis knee prosthesis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the cases of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with AMP prosthesis in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2011 to September 2016. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), American Knee Society Knee Score (KSS) clinical scores, KSS functional scores and knee-joint range of motion (ROM) before and after TKA, and Forgotten Joint Scores (FJS) after TKA were collected. ⋯ Incidence of complications in the CR matching group (8.1%) was higher than that in the CS matching group (2.7%), but there was no statistical difference (χ(2)=1.04, P=0.31). Conclusions: When using AMP prosthesis, both CR insert and CS insert can obtain good clinical results in TKA. The potential risk of PCL injury and other complications after CR TKA makes it necessary for surgeons to carefully select an appropriate type of prosthesis.
