Objective To assess the clinical efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of topotecan for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods We searched MEDLINE (1966 to 2005), EMbase (1989 to 2004), CancerLit (1996 to 2003), CBMdisc (1978 to 2005), CNKI (1994 to 2005), The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2005), The National Research Register, and the Health Technology Assessment Database (HTA). Relevant journals were also handsearched. The search was conducted on December 31, 2005. Randomize controlled trials (RCTs) comparing topotecan versus other agents for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer were included. The quality of the eligible trials was assessed by two reviewers independently. Meta-analysis was performed. Results Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria, and the methodological quality was either level A or B. When used as second-line chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer, there was no significant difference in remission rate between topotecan and paclitaxel or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD). The clinical benefit rate of topotecan was higher than that of paclitaxel or PLD. Myelosuppression was more frequent in patients in the topotecan group than those in the PLD or paclitaxel group, but it was not severe. As to cost-effectiveness analysis, topotecan was better than PLD. Conclusions The standard regimen of topotecan (intravenous 1.5 mg/m2/d for 5 consecutive days) is recommended for use in platinum-resistant and refractory ovarian cancer.
Objective To investigate the early effectiveness of the limited unique coracoid osteotomy suture button fixation Latarjet (LU-tarjet)-congruent-arc (CA) technique (LU-tarjet-CA) in treating recurrent shoulder dislocations with huge glenoid defect. Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation and huge glenoid defect who met the selection criteria and treated with arthroscopic LU-tarjet-CA between January 2021 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort included 8 males and 4 females, aged 20-40 years with an average age of 30.4 years. The range of glenoid bone loss was 30%-40%, with an average of 35.5%. The time from symptom onset to hospital admission ranged from 1 to 36 months, with an average of 18.5 months. The University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score, American Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) score, Walch-Duplay score, and Rowe score were used to evaluate shoulder function preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. CT three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction was used to assess coracoid healing and plasticity at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Subjective satisfaction of patient was recorded at last follow-up. Results All incisions healed by first intention, with no incision infection or nerve injury. All 12 patients were followed up 12 months. One patient developed Propionibacterium acnes infection within the joint postoperatively and recovered after initial arthroscopic debridement and anti-inflammatory treatment. At 3 months after operation, CT 3D-reconstruction showed 1 case of complete coracoid absorption; neither of these two patients experienced redislocation. The remaining patients exhibited partial coracoid absorption but displayed local reshaping, filling the preoperative defect area, and bony fusion between the coracoid and the glenoid. At last follow-up, 9 patients (75%) were very satisfied with the outcome, and 3 patients (25%) were satisfied; the satisfied patients experienced postoperative shoulder stiffness caused by suboptimal functional exercise but did not have impaired daily life activities. The UCLA score, ASES score, Walch-Duplay score, and Rowe score at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively were significantly better than preoperative scores, and each score improved further over time postoperatively, with significant differences between different time points (P<0.05). Conclusion The arthroscopic LU-tarjet-CA technique for treating recurrent shoulder dislocations with huge glenoid defect can achieve the surgical objective of bony blockade and filling bone defects to prevent shoulder dislocation, thereby improving patients’ quality of life and shoulder joint function and stability.

Optic neuritis (ON) is one of the symptom of a central nervous system demyelinating, systemic or infectious disease. The pathogenetic mechanism of ON is still not completely clear, and its core is inflammation and immune that occurred in the optic nerve axons, and apoptosis of RGC was induced. Few patients experience recurrent episodes after treatment, presenting a remission - recurrence course of polyphasic disease, named recurrent ON (RON). Two forms of RON have been assigned: recurrent isolated optic neuritis, which is a chronic corticosteroid-dependent optic neuropathy with intermittent acute relapses, and recurrent isolated optic neuritis, which is a non-progressive relapsing ON without steroid dependence. Recurrence of ON causes cumulative damage to the optic nerve lesions and impaired visual signal transmission, thus causing irreversible damage to vision. Therefore, it is very important to have a deep understanding of the pathogenesis of ON and the clinical characteristics of RON, so as to better conduct clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of reconstructing medial patellofemoral l igament with hamstring tendon autografts for the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation under arthroscopy. Methods Between January 2005 and January 2010, 22 cases of recurrent patellar dislocation were treated by lateral retinacular release and reconstructionof the medial patellofemoral ligament with hamstring tendon autografts under arthroscopy. There were 5 males and 17 females, aged 15-19 years (mean, 17.3 years). The average number of dislocation was 4 (range, 3-8). The main cl inical symptoms were pain and swell ing of knee joint, weakness in the leg, and limited range of motion (ROM). The patellar tilt test, pressing pain of patellofemoral ligament insertion, and apprehension sign showed positive results. According to International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scoring criteria, the subjective IKDC score was 36.7 ± 4.7, and the Lysholm score was 69.3 ± 3.8. X-ray films showed that the patella inclined outwards. Results All incisions healed by first intention. Twenty-two cases were followed up 18-49 months (mean, 34 months). Pain and swelling of knee joint and weakness were improved obviously. No recurrence was found during follow-up. The ROM of knee in flexion and extension was improved when compared with preoperative ROM. The subjective IKDC score was 92.4 ± 5.3 and the Lysholm knee score was 91.7 ± 5.2, showing significant differences when compared with preoperative scores (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament with hamstring tendon autografts under arthroscopy is an effective method to treat recurrent patellar dislocation.
Objective To study the effect of microtraumatic treatment of postoperative recurrent bone cysts in juvenile patients. Methods FromDecember 1984 to December 2003, 36 cases of postoperative recurrent bone cysts after focal curettage and bone graft included 19 males and 17 females, aging 9-21 years-with an average of 15 years. The size of bone cyst ranged from 2.5 cm×6.0 cm to 3.5 cm×13.0 cm with an average of 3.0 cm×8.0 cm. The locations were proximal humerus in 18 cases, humeral shaft in 10 and femoral trochanteric region in 8. The focal curette and bonegraft were given once in 23 cases, twice in 10 cases and 3 times in 3 cases. The interval between recurrence and microtraumatic treatment was 5-13 months (6.5 months on average). The posteroanterior and lateral X-ray films were takento determine the location, range and feature of the focus. Under local anesthesia, 2 canulated needles were used; one was used to aspirate the contents of the cyst, the other was used to inject hydrocortisone acetate. The dose was determined according to the range of the focus. The treatment was repeated every 3.54 months until the focus healed. Results All patients were followed up from 3 to 18 years with an average of 5 years. The microtraumatic treatment was repeated 3-11 times with an average of 6 times. Twenty-six cases healed completely, 6 cases healed significantly, and 4 cases healed partially. No local or general complications occurred during the treatment. Conclusion This microtraumatic method for the treatment of postoperative recurrent bone cyst in juvenile patients has following advantages : less pain, easy manipulation, no hospitalization, low cost and definite effect.
Objective To summarize mid-term effectiveness of modified arthroscopic suture button fixation Latarjet procedure for treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations. Methods Between January 2018 and October 2020, 30 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations were treated with modified arthroscopic suture button fixation Latarjet procedure. There were 19 males and 11 females with an average age of 27.3 years (range, 18-41 years). The shoulder dislocation occurred 3-7 times, with an average of 4.9 times. The time from the last dislocation to operation was 3-10 days, with an average of 4.1 days. Glenoid defects exceeded 20% in all cases. There were 27 cases of Hill-Sachs lesions. The joint pain and function were estimated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, Rowe score, American Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) score, Walch-Duplay score, and the range of external rotation at 0° and external rotation at 90° abduction of shoulder before operation and at 1 month, 6 months, and last follow-up. The X-ray film, CT scan and three-dimensional reconstruction were reviewed to observe the position, healing, and absorption of the coracoid graft, correction of glenoid defect, and joint degeneration.Results The operation time ranged from 51 to 79 minutes, with an average of 68.4 minutes. All incisions healed without complications such as nerve or blood vessel injury. All patients were followed up 36-60 months with an average of 44.6 months. The VAS score, UCLA score, Rowe score, ASES score, Walch-Duplay score, and the range of external rotation at 0° and external rotation at 90° abduction after operation significantly improved when compared with preoperative values (P<0.05). All indicators further improved with time, and the differences between different time points after operation were significant (P<0.05). Imaging review showed that the coracoid graft was located in the anteroinferior glenoid at 1 day after operation, and no occurrence of shoulder osteoarthritis was found during follow-up. The anatomical structure of the glenoid was normal, and no delayed healing or non-union of the coracoid graft occurred. At 20 months after operation, arthroscopic re-exploration was performed in 1 case due to fracutre caused by falling injury revealed the good shaping of the coracoid graft, smooth glenoid, and no bone resorption or osteoarthritis. ConclusionFor recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations, the modified arthroscopic suture button fixation Latarjet procedure can obtain good recovery of shoulder function and low incidence of complications and has a good mid-term effectiveness.
ObjectiveTo summarize the current status and progress of surgical treatment for postoperative recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodThe literatures about studies of surgical treatment of postoperative recurrent HCC were reviewed.ResultsThe surgical operation was an effective method for the treatment of recurrent HCC. The operation methods included re-hepatectomy and salvage liver transplantation. There was no uniform standard for the indication of re-hepatectomy, but the basic principles were the same. At present, the indication of salvage liver transplantation was mainly based on Milan criteria. For patients with recurrent HCC who met the operation indications, surgical operation could improve the long-term survival rate of patients and benefit the patients.ConclusionIt migh prolong the survival time and improve the long-term survival rate of patients with recurrent HCC when the appropriate patients and reasonable surgical methods are chosen according to the surgical indications, the tumor situation of initial hepatectomy, postoperative recurrence time, and other factors.
