Background: Costal cartilage injuries are unappreciated, and there is a paucity of reports on fixation methods. This study aims to evaluate the safety of titanium plate internal fixation for costal cartilage injuries.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 patients with costal cartilage injuries who underwent titanium plate internal fixation between April 2016 and November 2022 at our hospital.
To investigate the diagnostic value of fibrinogen (FIB) in patients with rib fractures complicated by lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Analyzing data from 493 patients at Shijiazhuang Third Hospital, FIB levels at 24, 48, and 72 h post-injury were compared between DVT and non-DVT groups. DVT group had elevated FIB levels at all times ( < .

Methods: The enrolled patients were divided into the 3D printing (11 patients) and the non-3D printing (18 patients) groups, based on whether a 3D model of ribs was prepared prior to surgery. Analysis was conducted comparing the average fixation time per fracture, postoperative fixation loss, and poor reduction of fractured end between the two groups.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of D-dimer in the diagnosis of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with rib fractures.
Method: Retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 499 patients with rib fractures who were admitted to the Third Hospital of Shijiazhuang between October 2020 and September 2021. These patients were divided into the DVT and the non-DVT groups.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how various therapeutic and non-therapeutic factors affect the survival rates of lung cancer patients in China, analyzing data from 458 diagnosed individuals between 2008 and 2013.
- - Results indicated a median survival time of 32 months, with significant factors impacting survival being sex, cancer stage, and treatment modalities like chemotherapy and surgery.
- - Findings suggested that male sex, early-stage diagnosis, and surgical intervention improve survival chances, while female sex, advanced stage, and the absence of chemotherapy are associated with higher risks; further research is recommended to better inform patient management.
To investigate the normal diameter of the abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries of the middle-aged and elderly people in China and the relationship of the diameters with age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and body surface area (BSA). This retrospective study enrolled 625 patients including 380 males and 245 females aged 60.00 years (interquartile range 13.

Herein, we explored the molecular mechanism of LINC00114 via mediating enhancer of zeste homolog 2/deleted in liver cancer 1 (EZH2/DLC1) axis in EC.
Methods: LINC00114, EZH2 and DLC1 expression in EC tissues and cells were tested.

Background: Rib fracture is closely related to thoracic injury with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the clinical effect of Zhang ZhiFei (ZZF) zoning method on the selection of incision and approach in minimally invasive surgery for rib fracture.
Methods: A total of 110 patients with rib fractures from July 2017 to July 2019 were enrolled in the study.
Objective: To explore the clinical effect of 3D printing combined with framework internal fixation technology on the minimally invasive internal fixation of high complex rib fractures.
Methods: Total 16 patients with high complex rib fractures were included in the study. Before the procedure, the 3D rib model was reconstructed based on the thin-layer chest CT scan.
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene is highly polymorphic, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of VEGF gene are associate with cancer prognosis. This study aimed to analyze the correlation of VEGF gene polymorphisms with grade and prognosis of lung cancer.
Methods: A total of 458 Chinese patients with primary lung cancer were enrolled from September 2008 to October 2013.
Sternal fracture is a common complication of chest trauma but has a low incidence. Various treatments have been developed to reconstruct sternal fractures. Among these approaches, analgesia, corset fixation, and open reduction with plate internal fixation have been suggested.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Rib fractures account for a fairly high proportion of chest injuries, ranging from 55 to 80%. The most common mechanisms of injury include: traffic accident, extrusion and falls from significant heights. Besides, the surgical treatment of multiple rib fractures has been accepted by more and more medical professionals.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: To investigate the application of 3D printing technology combined with percutaneous Minimally Invasive Plate Oseoynthesis (MIPO) and thoracoscopic techniques in the treatment of long comminuted rib fractures.
Case Presentation: One case of multiple rib fractures with abnormal respiratory disease (including rib 3 and 4 of long comminuted fractures) due to a fall injury was selected. The 3D model of comminuted rib fracture was reconstructed and printed according to the thin-layer CT scan results.
