Objective: To investigate the efficacy，safety and feasibility of regional lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical surgery for bladder cancer under the guidance of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging. Methods: A total of 30 patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (T2/T3NxM0) who volunteered to enter the clinical trial were randomly divided into the indocyanine green imaging guided laparoscopic regional lymph node dissection group (n=15) and the standard pelvic lymph node dissection group (n=15).The number of positive lymph nodes，operation time，intraoperative bleeding volume，incidence of lymph leakage，and tumor recurrence and metastasis rate 2-year after surgery were collected. Results: The number of positive lymph nodes was (4.20±1.66) and (4.60±1.72) respectively in the indocyanine green and standard groups，with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).There were no statistically significant difference in the tumor recurrence and metastasis rates 2-year after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05).However，the indocyanine green group had shorter operation time，less intraoperative bleeding volume，and lower incidence of lymphatic leakage than the standard group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic lymph node dissection has comparable clinical efficacy to standard lymph node dissection，but with fewer complications.

Objective: To establish a "regular blood donor red blood cell gene database"(hereafter referred to as the "database") by applying molecular biology techniques for red blood cell antigens genotyping and utilizing information technology software, and to determine the significance and application value of this "database" in precise red blood cell transfusion. Methods: Fifteen antigens [C, c, E, e, M, N, S, s, Fy (a), Fy (b), Jk (a), Jk (b), Le (a), Le (b), P1] across six blood group systems (RHCE, MNS, FY, JK, Lewis and P1PK) were detected among 9 426 regular blood donors using the TaqMan-MGB method combined with an improved U-shaped microplate approach. With the assistance of information technology software, the "database" was integrated into the overall inventory management system of the blood supply chain. This enabled comprehensive management of regular blood donor and patient information, test results, specific antigen screening for regular blood donors, graded antigen matching between donors and patients, and rare blood type donor records. Results: The TaqMan-MGB method successfully detected paired antigens (C/c, E/e, M/N, S/s, Fy /Fy , Jk /Jk ) within a single reaction well using a standardized PCR amplification protocol. This method provided a reliable testing solution for clinical institutions and empowered blood collection and supply organizations with high-throughput screening capabilities. In the blood supply chain, genotyped red blood cells accounted for 13.2% (721/5 462 U) of the total inventory, with 95.34% (348/365) originating from donors who donated two units of blood. Moreover, the “database” fulfilled 94.06% (443/471 U) of compatible transfusion requirements from medical institutions and effectively managed rare blood type donors. Conclusion: The establishment of the "database" facilitated the transition of blood compatibility testing from traditional serological methods to molecular biology-based gold standard techniques, significantly advancing the implementation of precise transfusion strategies based on multi-antigen matching between donors and patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of digital three-dimensional (3D) assisted unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) in the treatment of highly isolated lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with translaminar approach. METHODS: The clinical data of 59 patients who met the selection criteria and underwent UBE treatment due to highly isolated LDH between January 2022 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 25 cases were treated with digital 3D assisted translaminar approach (observation group) and 34 cases were treated with interlaminar approach (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, surgical segment, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and lateral articular surface preservation rate were recorded and compared between the two groups. VAS score and ODI were used to evaluate the improvements of pain and function before operation and at 3 and 6 months after operation. The modified MacNab criteria was used to evaluate the effectiveness at last follow-up. RESULTS: One patient in the control group had dural tear, and the other patients had no nerve injury, infection, dural tear, or other related complications. There was no significant difference in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in both groups were followed up 6-13 months, with an average of 8.3 months. The lateral articular surface preservation rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Three patients in the observation group and 2 patients in the control group had calf muscle venous thrombosis, which was cured after anticoagulant treatment with rivaroxaban and delayed exercise time. There was no recurrence or second operation during the follow-up period. The VAS score and ODI of the two groups at 3 and 6 months after operation significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups at each time point after operation ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the effectiveness was evaluated according to the modified MacNab criteria, and there was no significant difference in the evaluation grade and excellent and good rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUTION UBE via translaminar approach is safe and effective for the treatment of highly isolated LDH, which is beneficial to protect the facet joint, maintain spinal stability, and reduce soft tissue injury. With the assistance of digital 3D technique, preoperative planning can be performed accurately.

Objective:To compare the curative effects between modified double-reverse traction technique and traditional open reduction in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 70 patients with Schatzker type Ⅳ-Ⅴ tibial plateau fracture who had undergone surgical treatment at The Third Department of Orthopaedics, Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2022. The patients were divided into an observation group treated with modified double-reverse traction and a control group treated with traditional open reduction. In the observation group of 37 cases, there were 20 males and 17 females with an age of (44.6±13.5) years, and 9 cases of type Ⅳ and 28 cases of type V by the Schatzker classification; in the control group of 33 cases, there were 18 males and 15 females with an age of (45.9±13.7) years, and 10 cases of type Ⅳ and 23 cases of type Ⅴ by the Schatzker classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, length of main incision, intraoperative blood loss, Rasmussen imaging score before discharge, and knee function score of American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), fracture healing and complications at 6 months postoperatively.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing group comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (14.3±1.4) months. The observation group was significantly better than the control group in operation time [(113.9±11.4) min versus (151.82±10.37) min], length of main incision [4 (4, 5) cm versus 6 (6, 7) cm], intraoperative blood loss [30 (20, 35) mL versus 55 (50, 65) mL], VAS [0 (0, 0) point versus 0 (0, 1) points] and HSS score [(89.8±3.1) points versus (86.0±3.5) points] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in Rasmussen imaging score before discharge, or fracture healing rate or complication rate at 6 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of Schatzker type Ⅳ-Ⅴ tibial plateau fractures, modified double-reverse traction technique is worthy of clinical application and promotion, because it is advantageous over traditional open reduction in terms of shorter operation time, smaller surgical incision, less intraoperative blood loss, less postoperative pain and better knee function.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.

Objective To explore and compare the efficacy of open reduction Kirschner-wire internal fixation and closed reduction Herbert screw internal fixation in the treatment of fresh unstable scaphoid lumbar fracture.Methods 72 patients with fresh unstable scaphoid lumbar fracture admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group(36 cases,open reduction Kirschberg wire internal fixation)and the control group(36 cases,closed reduction Herbert screw internal fixation).The operation time,fracture healing time,healing rate at 12 weeks,complication rate,scaphoid osteonecrosis rate,wrist functional recovery 6 months and 1 year after surgery were observed and compared within 2 groups,including wrist range of motion,improved Mayo wrist function score,pain index using visual analog scale(VAS).Results There were no significant differences in operation time,fracture healing time,healing rate and complication rate in 2 groups(P＞0.05).6 months after surgery,the wrist motion of ulnar deviation,radial deviation,dorsalis extension and palmaris flexion in 2 groups were significantly improved compared with before surgery(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in wrist motion in 2 groups after surgery(P＞0.05).Compared with 6 months after surgery,Mayo score of experimental group was significantly improved at 12 months after surgery(95.36± 3.34)vs.(78.52±5.62)(P＜0.05),and VAS was significantly decreased(1.04±2.24)vs.(3.25± 1.62)(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in Mayo score and VAS between 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions Compared with closed reduction and Herbert screw internal fixation,open reduction and Kirschner wire internal fixation can also achieve satisfactory results.However,the operation cost and difficulty of Kirschner wire internal fixation are relatively low.

Objective:To investigate the driving effect of prostate cancer associated transcript 4 (PCAT4) on the up-regulation of upregulator of cell proliferation (URGCP) expression in breast cancer progression through sponging miR-508-5p.Methods:The microarray data of lncRNA and miRNA with differential expression in breast cancer tissue were analyzed by Cancer Genome Atlas. The expression of PCAT4 in breast cancer was evaluated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell proliferation was measured by MTT and colony formation, cell apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL, and cell migration and invasion were analyzed by Transwell. The correlation between PCAT4 and miR-508-5p, and miR-508-5p and URGCP was analyzed by RNA pull-down and double luciferase assay. Tumor xenograft studies were performed to analyze the correlation between PCAT4/miR-508-5p/URGCP axis and breast cancer cell growth in vivo. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s). T-test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. The correlation between PCAT4 and URGCP and miR-508-5p expression was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The expression level of PCAT4 was up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cells. Knockout of PCAT4 inhibited cell proliferation and metastasis and promoted cell apoptosis. miR-508-5p was the target of PCAT4 and was negatively correlated with PCAT4. Overexpression of miR-508-5p in breast cancer can inhibit cell growth, migration and invasion, and promote cell apoptosis. URGCP is the target of miR-508-5p and induces progression of breast cancer. Tumor xenograft studies showed that PCAT4 drives breast cancer progression by affecting miR-508-5p/URGCP.Conclusion:The expression of PCAT4 is up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cells, and PCAT4 can act as a molecular sponge of miR-508-5p, and significantly promote breast cancer progression by activating URGCP protein expression.
