Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2024;28(21):3367-3372
BACKGROUND:With the increase of the incidence of cervical spondylosis,it is particularly important to control the postoperative bleeding and related inflammatory reaction of cervical vertebra. OBJECTIVE:A prospective study was conducted to investigate the combined effect of intravenous and topical tranexamic acid of different concentrations on postoperative blood loss and inflammatory response during posterior cervical decompressive laminectomy combined with lateral mass screw internal fixation and bone graft fusion. METHODS:From January 2020 to December 2022,150 patients who were scheduled to undergo posterior cervical decompressive laminectomy combined with lateral mass screw internal fixation and bone graft fusion for cervical spondylotic myelopathy in Tianjin People's Hospital were enrolled in the study.Patients were divided into A,B,and C groups(n=50)by randomized double-blind lottery.The patients in the A,B,and C groups were treated with 1%,3%,and 5%intravenous and topical tranexamic acid solution,respectively.Postoperative blood loss and inflammation-related indicators were compared among three groups.The occurrence of venous thromboembolism and hematoma was observed after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were significant differences in blood loss-related indexes,such as intraoperative blood loss,overall blood loss,and occult blood loss among the three groups(P<0.01).The above indexes were significantly lower in groups B and C than that in group A.There was no significant difference between groups B and C(P>0.05).(2)On days 1 and 3 after surgery,the levels of inflammatory indicators including serum C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 were increased to varying degrees in the three groups compared to before surgery(P<0.05).As the drug concentration increased,its expression decreased,and there was a significant difference among the three groups(P<0.001).(3)Two cases of intramuscular venous thrombosis appeared in each of the three groups after surgery.No hematoma or pulmonary embolism occurred in all three groups.(4)It is concluded that in posterior cervical decompressive laminectomy combined with lateral mass screw internal fixation and bone graft fusion,intravenous combined with topical application of different concentrations of tranexamic acid is effective in reducing perioperative blood loss and inflammatory response.3%tranexamic acid achieves the same effect without significantly increasing the risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of unplanned readmission in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods:This study used cross-sectional survey method. A total of 270 acute myocardial infarction patients admitted from Tianjin Union Medical Cencer from March 2020 to March 2021 were evaluated in a cardiology department. We used the electronic medical record system to collect the patients′ data. Patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of readmission within 1 year or not. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors and formulated prediction model.Results:Totally 81 patients (30%) were readmitted. Binary Logistic regression model showed that the independent influencing factors of unplanned readmission in acute myocardial infarction patients included smoking ( X1), hypertension ( X2), marital status ( X3), hospitalization days ( X4), percutaneous coronary intervention ( X5), and heart failure ( X6). Area under ROC curve was 0.840, the maximum value of the Youden index was 0.560, and the sensitivity was 85.2%, the specificity was 70.8%, and the cutoff value was 0.377. Prediction model expression of unplanned readmission risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction was Logit(p/1-p)=-4.012+1.172 X1+1.104 X2+0.992 X3+0.118 X4+1.191 X5+1.093 X6. Conclusions:The risk prediction model of unplanned readmission in patients with acute myocardial infarction established in this article was with a good predictive effect, and it could be used in early identification of those patients with high-risk in unplanned readmission. At the same time, combined with the risk factors of depression, targeted intervention measures can be formulated.

Journal of International Oncology 2023;50(6):357-361
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a kind of rare clinical malignant tumor in the skin. Surgical treatment is the main treatment method, and the Mohs microsurgery is considered the first choice which can control the incision margin accurately and reduce the recurrence rate. Due to the insidious and multifocal nature of the disease, the postoperative recurrence rate is still high. The other treatment methods include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, photodynamic therapy, local drug therapy and laser therapy. Further research on the progress of EMPD treatment is helpful for the management and treatment of patients in clinical practice.
