Penile prosthesis implantation in Chinese patients wit severe erectile dysfunction： 10-year experience

We retrospectively evaluated the clinical outcome of penile prosthesis implantation （PPI） in Chinese patients with severe erectile dysfunction （SED）. From July 2000 to December 2011, 224 patients （mean age： 35.9±11.8 years, range： 20-75 years） with SED underwent PPI by experienced surgeon according to standard PPI procedure at our centre. A malleable prosthesis （AMS 650） was implanted in 45 cases （20.1%）, and a three-piece inflatable prosthesis （AMS 700 CXM or AMS 700 CXR） was implanted in 179 cases （79.9%）. Surgical outcomes, including postoperative complications, clinical efficacy and couple satisfaction, were evaluated over than 6 months postoperatively using medical record abstraction, IIEF-5, quality of life （QoL） scores, and the patient/partner sexual satisfaction score proposed by Bhojwani etaL Of the 224 patients eligible for the study, 201 subjects （89.7%） completed follow-up. All of patients could perform sexual intercourse post PPI with the mean postoperative IIEF-5 and QoL scores were 20.02±2.32 and 5.28±0.76, respectively, which were significantly improved compared with the preoperative scores （6.29±1.5 and 2.13±0.84, P〈0.01）. Of the 201 men, mechanical malfunction occurred in four cases （2.0%） and three cases were re-implanted new device, and two cases （1.0%） developed a mild curvature of the penis. Scrotal erosion with infection occurred in one case with diabetes mellitus （0.5%） and required complete removal of the implanted AMS 700 CXM. Satisfactory sexual intercourse at least twice per month was reported by 178 men （88.6%）, and overall satisfaction with the PPI surgery was reported by 89.0% of men and 82.5% of partners. Patient satisfaction in the three-piece inflatable prosthesis group was higher than in the malleable prosthesis group （P〈0.05）. Satisfaction, however, between the types of prostheses, did not differ in the partner survey. PPI is a safe and effective treatment option for Chinese patients with SED and experienced surgeon perform PPI according to standard PPI procedure could reduce the postoperative complications of PPI and could improve patient satisfaction ratio and QoL.

Infrapubic versus Penoscrotal Approaches for Implantation of Semi-Rigid Penile Prosthesis

Background: Modification of surgical techniques to minimize wound infections in penile implant surgery using malleable prosthesis which is easy to use, of very low risk of mechanical failure and is financially suitable to improve outcome and ensures less complications. The aim of the study is to compare infrapubic approach and Penoscrotal approach in penile semi-rigid prosthesis implantation surgery. Patients and methods: Fifty patients were randomly divided into two groups and each group underwent one approach. Results: No statically significant differences were found between both groups in terms of operative time. Corporeal cross over was the most common intraoperative complications, 3 cases in IP approach and 6 cases in PS but not statistically significant. Peyronie’s disease patients underwent penile implant through infrapubic approach in 3 cases and PS in 4 cases with one recorded complication of keloid formations with IP. Urethral false passage reported only in one case with PS approach without affecting the procedure. Only minor complications including superficial wound infection which was significantly more with PS, 6/25 (24%) and IP 1/25 (4%), p value = 0.041. Penile and scrotal edema was common with IP approach (92%) in comparison with PS approach (60%). The urethral catheter can be abandoned with IP to avoid the risk of catheterizations. No significant relation between diabetes and infections and no erosions were encountered. Conclusion: Through this research work, infrapubic approach is better than Penoscrotal approach even if it is not commonly used by surgeon.

Outcome of implanting penile prosthesis for treating erectile dysfunction： experience with 42 cases

Aim： To report a short-time result of three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis （IPP） implantation on treating patients with organic erectile dysfunction （ED）. Methods： Three-piece IPPs were implanted in 42 Chinese patients with ED refractory to systemic treatment between May 2002 and May 2004. The etiologies of ED were neurogenic （28 with paraplegia and seven with traumatic nervi-erigentes injury）, congenital venous leakage （5 cases）, fibrosis of corpus cavernosum （lcase） and Klinefelter＇s syndrome （1 case）. The follow-up period ranged from 24 to 57 months. Results： Implantation procedures were successfully performed upon all 42 patients. The length of implanted prosthesis was from 13 cm to 18 cm, and the diameter was 1 cm. The implanted prosthesis was made by the Medical Instrumentation Company of Muping （Muping, Shandong, China）. Localized infection occurred in only one patient and mechanical complications occurred in five patients. Coitus could be performed in 41 cases （97.6%）. Three patients with congenital venous leakage made their spouses pregnant after implantation. Conclusion： Implantation of three-piece IPP is an effective and safe modality for treating patients with ED. It can be well accepted by Chinese patients because of its efficacy.

Imaging and Dosimetric Consideration for Titanium Prosthesis Implanted within the Irradiated Region by Cobalt-60 Teletherapy Unit

The aim of this research is to observe dose distributions in the vicinity of titanium prosthetic implants during radiotherapy procedures on 60Co teletherapy machine, Prowess Panther treatment planning system (TPS). Data were obtained using a locally fabricated tissue equivalent phantom CT images with titanium prosthesis which was irradiated with 60Co gamma radiation. Prowess TPS (1.25 MeV) estimated less variations. Proximal ends of the metal recorded slight increase in doses as a result of backscatter with dose increment below acceptable tolerance of ±3%. Doses measured decreases on the distal side of the prosthesis at a distance less than dmax from the plate on each beam energy. The depth dose increases marginally after a certain depth level which generally originated from the unperturbed dose due to increase in the electron fluence. The percentage of depth doses decrease with the increase in plate thickness. A reduction in the above trend was also noticed with an increase in beam energy primarily because scattered photons are more forwardly directed. Prowess TPS (convolution superposition algorithm) was found to be better at reducing dose variation when correction for artifact. Manual calculations on blue phantom data agree with results from Prowess. This treatment system is capable of simulating dose around titanium prosthesis as its range of densities, 0.00121 to 2.83, excludes titanium density (rED for titanium is 3.74).

Zygomatic Implant-Supported Prosthesis: When the Prosthetic Rehabilitation Affects the Function: A Case Report

The oral rehabilitation of edentulous patients can be done in different ways depending on the alveolar ridge morphology and patient expectations. The objective of this clinical case was to report prosthetic and functional adaptation difficulties when conventional complete denture was changed to a zygomatic implant-supported prosthesis. We report a 52-year-old male singer with an atrophic maxilla who was rehabilitated with zygomatic implant-supported prosthesis using 4 implants. However, the thickness of the prosthesis in the palatal region and the space between the prosthesis and soft tissue caused difficulty in speaking and singing. The palatal region of the prosthesis was trimmed and the anterior region of the prosthesis was relined. These procedures were performed to make room for the tongue and minimize the passage of air during speech. Adaptations in the shape of the prosthesis must be made to enable its use, without compromising its strength.

Treatment of acute periprosthetic infections with prosthesis retention: Review of current concepts

Periprosthetic joint infection(PJI) is a devastating complication after total joint arthroplasty, occurring in approximately 1%-2% of all cases. With growing populations and increasing age, PJI will have a growing effect on health care costs. Many risk factors have been identified that increase the risk of developing PJI, including obesity, immune system deficiencies, malignancy, previous surgery of the same joint and longer operating time. Acute PJI occurs either postoperatively(4 wk to 3 mo after initial arthroplasty, depending on the classification system), or via hematogenous spreading after a period in which the prosthesis had functioned properly. Diagnosis and the choice of treatment are the cornerstones to success. Although different definitions for PJI have been used in the past, most are more or less similar and include the presence of a sinus tract, blood infection values, synovial white blood cell count, signs of infection on histopathological analysis and one ormore positive culture results. Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention(DAIR) is the primary treatment for acute PJI, and should be performed as soon as possible after the development of symptoms. Success rates differ, but most studies report success rates of around 60%-80%. Whether single or multiple debridement procedures are more successful remains unclear. The use of local antibiotics in addition to the administration of systemic antibiotic agents is also subject to debate, and its pro's and con's should be carefully considered. Systemic treatment, based on culture results, is of importance for all PJI treatments. Additionally, rifampin should be given in Staphylococcal PJIs, unless all foreign material is removed. The most important factors contributing to treatment failure are longer duration of symptoms, a longer time after initial arthroplasty, the need for more debridement procedures, the retention of exchangeable components, and PJI caused by Staphylococcus(aureus or coagulase negative). If DAIR treatment is unsuccessful, the following treatment option should be based on the patient health status and his or her expectations. For the best functional outcome, one- or two-stage revision should be performed after DAIR failure. In conclusion, DAIR is the obvious choice for treatment of acute PJI, with good success rates in selected patients.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation:Current status and future perspectives

Although surgical aortic valve replacement is the standard therapy for severe aortic stenosis(AS),about one third of patients are considered inoperable due to unacceptable surgical risk.Under medical treatment alone these patients have a very poor prognosis with a mortality rate of 50%at 2 years.Transcatheter aortic valve implantation(TAVI)has been used in these patients,and has shown robust results in the only randomized clinical trial of severe AS treatment performed so far.In this review,we will focus on the two commercially available systems:Edwards SAPIEN valve and CoreValve Revalving system.Both systems have demonstrated success rates of over 90%with 30-d mortality rates below 10%in the most recent transfemoral TAVI studies.Moreover,long-term studies have shown that the valves have good haemodynamic performance.Some studies are currently exploring the non-inferiority of TAVI procedures vs conventional surgery in high-risk patients,and long-term clinical results of the percutaneous valves.In this article we review the current status of TAVI including selection of patients,a comparison of available prostheses,results and complications of the procedure,clinical outcomes,and future perspectives.

Transcatheter pulmonic valve implantation: Techniques, current roles, and future implications

Right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT)obstruction is present in a variety of congenital heart disease states including tetralogy of Fallot,pulmonary atresia/stenosis and other conotruncal abnormalities etc.After surgical repair,these patients develop RVOT residual abnormalities of pulmonic stenosis and/or insufficiency of their native outflow tract or right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit.There are also sequelae of other surgeries like the Ross operation for aortic valve disease that lead to right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit dysfunction.Surgical pulmonic valve replacement(SPVR)has been the mainstay for these patients and is considered standard of care.Transcatheter pulmonic valve implantation(TPVI)was first reported in 2000 and has made strides as a comparable alternative to SPVR,being approved in the United States in 2010.We provide a comprehensive review in this space–indications for TPVI,detailed procedural facets and up-to-date review of the literature regarding outcomes of TPVI.TPVI has been shown to have favorable medium-term outcomes free of reinterventions especially after the adoption of the practice of pre-stenting the RVOT.Procedural mortality and complications are uncommon.With more experience,recognition of risk of dreaded outcomes like coronary compression has improved.Also,conduit rupture is increasingly being managed with transcatheter tools.Questions over endocarditis risk still prevail in the TPVI population.Head-to-head comparisons to SPVR are still limited but available data suggests equivalence.We also discuss newer valve technologies that have limited data currently and may have more applicability for treatment of native dysfunctional RVOT substrates.

Simultaneous penile prosthesis and male sling/artificia urinary sphincter

Erectile dysfunction （ED） and stress urinary incontinence （SUI） from urethral sphincteric deficiency is not an uncommon problem. The commonest etiology is intervention for localized prostate cancer and/or radical cystoprostatectomy for muscle invasive bladder cancer. Despite advances in surgical technology with robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and nerve sparing techniques, the rates of ED and SUI remain relatively unchanged. They both impact greatly on quality of life domains and have been associated with poor performance outcomes. Both the artificial urinary sphincter and penile prosthesis are gold standard treatments with proven efficacy, satisfaction and durability for end-stage SUI and ED respectively. Simultaneous prosthesis implantation for concurrent conditions has been well described, mostly in small retrospective series. The uptake of combination surgery has been slow due in part to technical demands of the surgery and to an extent, a heightened anxiety over potential complications. This paper aims to discuss the technical aspect of concurrent surgery for both disease entity and the current published outcomes of the various surgical techniques with this approach.

Initial experience of a single center with the use of ZSI 475 penile prosthesis

Objective:To evaluate surgical outcomes after implantation of the Zephyr ZSI 475 inflatable penile prosthesis(IPP)and patients’quality of life.Methods:From December 2014 to September 2018,15 patients underwent prosthesis implantation with ZSI 475.A retrospective review of clinical data was performed.Patients’quality of life after implantation was investigated with Quality of Life and Sexuality with Penile Prosthesis(QoLSPP)questionnaire.Results:The median age of patients was 57 years and the average follow-up time was 22 months.Twelve patients received a standard implantation due to severe erectile dysfunction(ED);three patients also presented penile curvature and additional corporoplasty with grafting was necessary.Three procedures had to be interrupted due to defects of the insertion tools.In one case a manufacturing defect resulted in a pump leak.In one case,a severe postoperative complication occurred,which requested explanation of the device.During the follow-up,four patients experienced mechanical failure of the prosthesis.Results of QoLSPP questionnaire at 12 months were skewed toward the positive end of the scale in all domains.Conclusion:In our initial experience,ZSI 475 suffered a high rate of mechanical failures;on the other hand,the company showed great commitment in order to improve the quality and reliability of the device.The lower cost of ZSI 475 may add to the chances of the product to become a cost-effective alternative to treat those patient who need a IPP.

Clinical Study on the Relationship between Fixation of Prosthesis and Health of Surrounding Tissues

[Objectives] To explore the effect of mouth outside bonding screw fixation and inside bonding fixation in implanting the prosthesis( crown or bridge) on the health of surrounding tissues,to provide a certain reference for the selection of fixation methods for clinically implanting the prosthesis. [Methods]160 cases of patients needing implanting the prosthesis due to dental arch deficiency were selected. They had excellent alveolar bone. They did not smoke,had no diabetes,and their bone tissue healing was at the early stage. They were randomly divided into A and B groups,80 cases in each group. Group A: the mouth inside and abutment of prosthesis was bonded to a single abutment crown or a single abutment bridge; the bonder on the surface of prosthesis was completely removed and then moved into the implant,and fixed with central retaining screw,this group was called " mouth outside bonding group". Group B: the abutment was located in the implant and fixed using central retaining screw,then the prosthesis( crown or bridge) was bonded to the abutment,the bonder on the surface of prosthesis was removed,and this group was called mouth " mouth inside bonding group". The health condition was compared between two fixing methods for the surrounding tissues of the implant in 24-36 months after restoration. [Results] Group A: the surrounding tissues of the implants for 126 teeth of 80 patients were healthy without occurrence of peripheral inflammation; Group B: in the implants of 112 teeth of 80 patients,7 teeth suffered the peripheral inflammation. Dental implant examination found that there was residue of bonder in the bonding of prosthesis and abutment,3 teeth exfoliated,and 4 teeth were restored after treatment. Through the X2 test,there was significant difference between Group A and Group B( P < 0. 05). [Conclusions] Implant-supported denture often adopts the mouth inside bonding. Since the bonder can not be removed completely,its residue will remain in gingival trough and stimulate the surrounding tissues of the implant and bring about the inflammatory reaction,and even lead to exfoliation of the implant; the mouth inside and abutment of prosthesis was bonded to a single abutment crown or a single abutment bridge,the bonder on the surface of prosthesis was completely removed and then moved into the implant,and fixed with central retaining screw. This method is an effective method for preventing the peripheral inflammation and increasing the success rate of dental implant.

人工种植牙邻接触丧失应对策略的专家共识

人工种植牙邻接触丧失(proximal contact loss,PCL)所引发的问题是近年研究热点,学者们一致致力于其原因和相关因素分析,旨在寻求解决与PCL相关问题的方案。前驱力作用、颌骨及牙槽窝等终身改建以及种植牙的骨整合特性是PCL的主要原因。一方面,下颌的闭口运动通过后牙牙尖产生了将牙齿往近中移位的前驱力,使上下颌后牙、下颌前牙近中漂移,同时,可使上下颌前牙唇向移位;另一方面,颌骨、牙槽窝、牙根的改建以及咀嚼肌的前向水平分力、下颌向前向上的动力分量以及牙尖斜面产生的向前分力使天然牙向近中漂移;此外,天然牙终身具备水平、垂直向移位以及旋转的能力,以适应口颌系统的改建和维持口腔的功能,而种植牙骨整合缺乏天然的牙周膜,缺乏近中漂移生理基础,垂直向平均动度微小,种植牙骨整合沉默性不具备天然牙整体漂移特点,增加了PCL发生的可能性。PCL高发生率与戴牙时间和近中位置有明显相关性,但也受咬合力大小、对颌牙状况、邻牙情况、修复方式、牙位、上下颌骨、年龄、性别等因素影响。PCL与食物嵌塞呈显著相关性,但并不一一对应,不满足充分必要条件。PCL也与种植体周病变以及龋齿等有关。PCL的预防包括知情同意、定期检查、固位方式选择、接触点增强、配戴保持器以及应用多用途数字化牙冠。PCL的处理包括邻接触点增补、正畸牵引以及咬合调整。现有方法可以短期解决食物嵌塞情况,综合干预以寻求稳定的远期效果。对称、平衡的考量将拓展处理有关PCL引发的问题。

上前牙种植单冠修复体切导的数字化设计正确度

目的:通过虚拟数字模型实验比较动态咬合记录法(patient-specific motion,PSM)和平均值数字牙合架法设计前牙种植单冠修复体切导的正确度。方法:招募12名牙列完整、有稳定切导的健康受试者,口内扫描获得受试者牙列模型,并采集两种动态咬合记录:(1)仅包括前伸运动;(2)包括前伸运动及侧前伸运动。加高原始模型上中切牙参与前伸引导的部分舌面作为参考模型;虚拟拔除单个上中切牙,虚拟种植获得上颌工作模型。在修复体设计软件中使用复制功能进行种植单冠形态设计,使用不同数字化方法设计切导:对照组为平均值数字牙合架法,试验组为仅包括前伸运动的动态咬合记录法(PSM1)和包括前伸运动和侧前伸运动的动态咬合记录法(PSM2)。通过逆向工程软件分析比较修复体切导形态与原始切导形态的三维偏差,评价指标包括代表高牙合程度的正值平均值、正面积比、最大值,代表低牙合程度的负值平均值、负面积比、最小值,以及代表整体偏差程度的均方根。结果:数据采用中位数(四分位距)表示。PSM2组的正值平均值、正面积比、负值平均值小于对照组[8.0(18.8)μm vs.37.5(47.5)μm;0 vs.7.2%(38.1%);-109.0(63.8)μm vs.-66.5(64.5)μm],负面积比大于对照组[52.9%(47.8%)vs.17.3%(45.3%)],差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05);PSM1组的正面积比[0.1%(7.0%)]和负值平均值[-97.0(61.5)μm]均小于对照组,负面积比[40.7%(39.2%)]大于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);PSM1组的正值平均值[20.0(42.0)μm]和正面积比均大于PSM2组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:设计前牙种植单冠修复体切导时,相较于平均值数字牙合架法和仅包括前伸运动的动态咬合记录法,包括前伸运动和侧前伸运动的动态咬合记录法更有利于减少修复体的咬合干扰,提高咬合适合性。

心脏瓣膜置换术后新发心房颤动患者血清Angpt1、内皮素-1水平变化及其临床意义

目的:探究心脏瓣膜置换术后新发心房颤动(AF)患者血清血管生成素-1(Angpt1)、内皮素-1(ET-1)的水平变化,并分析二者的临床意义。方法:选择2020年1月~2022年3月于本院行心脏瓣膜置换术的130例患者,根据术后7d有无AF分为无AF组(72例)及AF组(58例)。采用ELISA法检测两组血清Angpt1、ET-1水平;采用Pearson法分析AF患者血清Angpt1、ET-1水平的相关性;采用ROC曲线分析血清Angpt1、ET-1水平对此类患者术后发生AF的预测价值;采用Logistic回归分析此类患者术后发生AF的影响因素。结果:AF组左心房内径(LAD)、NYHA心功能Ⅳ级比例、体外循环时间均显著高于无AF组(P<0.05或<0.01)。术后1d,与无AF组比较,AF组血清Angpt1水平显著降低,ET-1水平显著升高(P均<0.001)。Pearson相关分析显示,AF患者血清Angpt1水平与ET-1水平呈显著负相关(r=-0.366,P=0.005)。ROC分析显示,血清Angpt1、ET-1水平联合预测心脏瓣膜置换术后AF发生的曲线下面积(AUC)显著高于二者单独预测(Z=2.761、1.998,P=0.006、0.046)。多因素Logistic回归分析显示LAD、NYHAⅣ级、体外循环时间及术后ET-1是此类患者术后发生AF的独立危险因素(OR=1.471~1.739,P<0.05或<0.01),而术后Angpt1是其独立保护因素(OR=0.634,P=0.004)。结论:心脏瓣膜置换术后新发AF患者术后血清Angpt1水平显著降低,ET-1水平显著升高,联合检测Angpt1、ET-1水平对术后AF发生的预测价值较高。

上颌中切牙种植联冠应用角度基台在不同种植体间距的应力分析

背景:在口腔多颗牙种植修复治疗中,不同的植入间距和基台角度影响着植体内部组件及骨组织处应力的分布,修复体与骨组织的应力分布是否平衡直接决定着种植体的使用寿命以及周围骨组织的稳定性。目的:分析上颌中切牙联冠修复体在3种植入间距时应用不同角度基台修复对修复体各部件及周围骨组织应力分布的影响。方法:在CT数据库中提取1例需行上颌中切牙种植修复患者的CT影像数据,导入Mimics 21.0软件提取上颌骨模型,在Geomagic软件处理后导入SolidWorks 21.0软件,绘制并构建上颌中切牙种植联冠修复体模型,在ANSYS Workbench 21.0软件中分别对3.0,2.5,2.0 mm植入间距的种植体模型应用0°,10°,20°,30°角度基台后进行加载,分析种植体及周围骨组织的应力分布情况。结果与结论:①在3.0,2.5,2.0 mm间距植入模型中,各部件的应力峰值随着植入基台角度的增大而增大,每种间距植入模型中30°基台修复时种植体及各部件所受应力峰值最高,最大等效应力峰值均出现在固位螺丝与角度基台连接处;在应用30°基台修复时,种植体周围骨组织所受应力最大;②所有模型的应力主要集中于皮质骨唇舌侧;③种植体间骨的应力分布和应力值随着种植体间距离的减小而增加,0°及10°基台修复模型都显示出比20°和30°基台模型显著更低的应力值;④结果显示,基台角度以及植入间距对种植体周围骨组织应力的分布有一定影响,当基台角度增加时,种植体受到轴向和斜向载荷,种植体周围的应力模式上升,30°基台种植修复体对骨组织应力较大,达到了皮质骨的骨吸收阈值,10°和20°基台修复应力较小于30°基台,临床上选择基台时应慎重考虑大于20°基台修复。
