BACKGROUND: Vascular injuries of the extremitiesy are frequently concomitant with vascular defects and are usually repaired by autologous vessel grafting. However, the source of autologous vessels is limited and the preparation of them is traumatic.OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the extremity-preserving efficacy of vascular prosthesis grafting in repairing major vascular injuries of the extremities in 29 cases.DESIGN: A retrospective study.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics and Traumatic Surgery, Center for Battle Wound and Trauma of Chinese PLA, Research Institute of Surgery,Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: We selected 29 patients with major vascular injuries of the extremities repaired by vascular prosthesis grafting who received the treatment at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatic Surgery of the Center for Battle Wound and Trauma of the Chinese PLA of the Research Institute of Surgery of, Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between January 1989 and December 2000. There were 23 males and 6 females. Injury sites: 9 cases were at subclavian artery, 6 at axillary artery, 2 at brachial artery, 10 at femoral artery, 1 at femoral vein and 1 at popliteal artery. 11 of these 29 cases (37.9%) were complicated with shock, 8 with fractures and dislocations, 5 with peripheral nerve injuries and 3 with infections.METHODS: The vascular prosthesis was anastomosed end to end with the trimmed culprit vessels. As for the 3 cases with infective arterial injuries,the vessels were placed away from the infected region and were bridged together in a non-inf1ammatory region and then muscles or musculo-cutaneous flaps were used to cover the infected regions.The functions of the extremities of the patients were evaluated according to MAS at week 2 and 1 year after the operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The vascular patency rate and the extremity-preserving outcomes..RESULTS: All 29 patients entered the stage of result analysis. Extremitypreserving efficacy: All the patients who underwent vascular prosthesis grafting had their extremities preserved. Only 1 patient had the late sequelae of ulcers in the foot sole due to extended extremity ischemia and nerve damage. The rate of 2-week patency rate of the grafted vessels was 100% and the 1-year rate of patency was 96.5%, as revealed by Doppler blood stream scanning. The excellent and good rate of the function of extremity was 89%.CONCLUSION: Vascular prosthesis grafting is the one of the methods for repairing the major vascular injuries so as to preserve the extremities and their functions.

Objective To investigate the effect of unfractionated heparin (UFH) on the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in intestinal mucosa of mice with sepsis.Methods Thirty-six male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sham group,cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group and UHF group,n =12 in each group.Model of intestinal injury in sepsis was induced by CLP.In sham group,the mice were exposed without ligation of cecum.In UFH group,the mice were treated intravenously with 8 U of UFH via the tail vein half an hour before the operation and 12 hours after the surgery respectively.Six mice in each group were randomly chosen at 4 hours and 24 hours after operation to collect inferior vena venous blood samples and terminalileum tissues.The serum levels of interleukins (IL-1 β,IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The serum level of D-lactate was determined by colorimetry.Pathological changes of ileum tissue and Chiu score were observed after hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining.The HO-1 expression was detected immunohistochemically.Results In sham group,no significant changes in the serum levels of IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α and D-lactate were observed.Twenty-four hours after the operation,the structure of intestinal mucosa was basically normal without obvious pathology change and no HO-1 positive cells were found.The serum levels of IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α,and D-lactate in CLP group were gradually increased,and they were significantly increased as compared with sham group [IL-1 β (ng/L):40.87±2.88 vs.22.60±2.05 at 4 hours,113.73±3.96 vs.22.07±2.74 at 24 hours;IL-6 (ng/L):63.89±3.26 vs.44.89±3.38 at 4 hours,176.56±5.45 vs.45.76±4.02 at 24 hours;TNF-α (ng/L):194.62± 14.13 vs.152.05±6.22 at 4 hours,599.62± 10.20 vs.155.90± 14.18 at 24 hours;D-lactate (mmol/L):0.24± 0.02 vs.0.19 ± 0.01 at 4 hours,0.33 ± 0.04 vs.0.20 ± 0.02 at 24 hours,all P ＜ 0.05].Twenty-four hours after the operation,edema and inflammation in ileal mucosa,intestinal villi structural damage were observed,the Chiu score was significantly higher than those in the sham group [4.5 (3.0-5.0) vs.0 (0-1.0),P ＜ 0.05],and a small amount of HO-1 positive cells were localized in the intestinal mucosa.Compared with CLP group,the serum levels of IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α,and D-lactate of UFH group were significantly decreased [IL-1 β (ng/L):31.53 ± 2.90 vs.40.87 ± 2.88 at 4 hours,61.13 ± 2.80 vs.113.73 ± 3.96 at 24 hours;IL-6 (ng/L):51.16 ± 5.68 vs.63.89 ± 3.26 at 4 hours,81.16 ± 4.54 vs.176.56 ± 5.45 at 24 hours;TNF-α (ng/L):171.76± 5.60 vs.194.62± 14.13 at 4 hours,328.48 ± 10.79 vs.599.62± 10.20 at 24 hours;D-lactate (mmol/L):0.21 ±0.01 vs.0.24±0.02 at 4 hours,0.24±0.02 vs.0.33±0.04 at 24 hours,all P ＜ 0.05].Twenty-four hours after the operation,intestinal injury was ameliorated,the Chiu score was significantly lower [1.5 (1.0-5.0) vs.4.5 (3.0-5.0),P ＜ 0.05],and HO-1 positive cells in the intestinal mucosa was remarkably increased.Conclusion UFH can enhance the expression of HO-1 in intestinal mucosa,reduce the release of inflammatory factors,ameliorate the intestinal inflammatory response,and thus play a protective role in intestinal tissue in mice with sepsis.

Adrenal epithelioid sarcoma is very rare in clinic. A case of epithelioid sarcoma of the right adrenal gland was reported in this paper. After physical examination, the patient was found to have a mass in the right adrenal area and underwent right adrenalectomy. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was right adrenal epithelioid sarcoma. Two months after adrenalectomy, positron emission tomography computed tomography(PET/CT) noted recurrence at the tumor bed and multiple metastases.The patient underwent chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy. After 16 months of follow-up, the disease was stable.

Intracranial atherosclerotic lesions are a common cause of ischemic stroke. Hemodynamics plays an important role in the formation and development of atherosclerosis and the risk assessment of clinical ischemic stroke events. As an evaluation method of cerebral hemodynamics, computational fluid dynamics can intuitively obtain hemodynamic parameters and provide valuable information for clinical diagnosis and treatment. This article reviews the application progress of computational fluid dynamics in evaluating peripheral hemodynamics of intracranial atherosclerotic lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of deep learning based on DWI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) to construct a prediction model of the onset time in acute stroke.Methods:A total of 324 cases of acute stroke with clear onset time, from January 2017 to May 2020 in Nanjing First Hospital, were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed. The patients were divided into a training set of 226 patients and a test set of 98 patients according to the complete randomization method using a 7∶3 ratio, and the patients were divided into ≤ 4.5 h and >4.5 h according to symptom onset time in each group. The acute infarction areas on DWI and the corresponding high signal area on FLAIR were manually outlined by physician. Using the InceptionV3 model as the basic model for image features extraction, the deep learning prediction model based on single sequence (DWI, FLAIR) and multi sequences (DWI+FLAIR) were established and verified. Then the area under curve (AUC), accuracy of human readings, single sequence model and multi sequence model in predicting the acute stroke onset time from imaging were compared.Results:DWI-FLAIR mismatch was found in 94 cases (94/207) of patients with symptom onset time from imaging ≤ 4.5 h, while in 28 cases (28/117) of patients with symptom onset time from imaging >4.5 h. ROC analysis showed that the AUC of DWI-FLAIR mismatch in predicting acute stroke onset time from imaging was 0.607, and the accuracy was 60.2%. The prediction model of deep learning based on single sequence showed that the AUC of FLAIR was 0.761 and the accuracy was 71.4%; the AUC of DWI was 0.836 and the accuracy was 81.6%. The AUC of predicting stroke onset time based on the multi-sequence (DWI+FLAIR) deep learning model was 0.852, which was significantly better than that of manual identification ( Z = 0.617, P = 0.002), FLAIR sequence deep learning model ( Z = 2.133, P = 0.006) and DWI sequence deep learning model ( Z = 1.846, P = 0.012). Conclusion:The deep learning model based on DWI and FLAIR is superior to human readings in predicting acute stroke onset time from imaging, which could provide guidance for intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute stroke patients with unknown onset time.

Objective:To analyze the patterns of intercellular communication in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) by single-cell nuclear transcriptome sequencing.Methods:Bilateral asymmetrical lesions mouth orbicular muscle of two patients with FSHD and mouth orbicular muscle of two healthy patients were selected. Six samples were obtained, and were divided into control group, mild group and severe group. The normal orbicularis muscle sample was collected from 2 healthy individuals (the control group). The muscle samples in the mild group were from two patients with relatively normal muscle sides, and the samples in the severe group were from two patients with more severe muscle damage sides. Single-cell nuclear transcriptome sequencing was performed on all cells of the three groups. Reduced dimension clustering and cell definition were performed to identify differentially expressed genes and enrichment pathways. Intercellular communication patterns among major cell types and key signaling pathways were explored by cellular communication analysis.Results:Differential gene expression analysis of FSHD bilateral muscle samples identified 46 functionally differentially expressed genes associated with the disease in different cell types, related to apoptosis, oxidative stress, immune inflammation, and muscle function. Intercellular communication was generally increased in the severe group. Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) and macrophages are important signaling sources in the abnormal muscle microenvironment of FSHD and are closely associated with disease progression. There are six unique signaling pathways in the mild group, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), CXC motif chemokine ligand (CXCL), adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E5 (ADGRE5), interleukin-16 (IL-16), and wingless-type MMTV integration site family (WNT) signaling pathways. These signaling pathways are mainly involved in the interaction between macrophages, FAPs, and adipocytes and may be involved in the regulation of fat deposition and fibrosis changes in the diseased muscle.Conclusions:Single-cell nuclear transcriptome sequencing provides a relatively comprehensive pattern of intercellular communication between key cell types in FSHD, providing an appropriate reference for understanding the intercellular regulatory mechanisms of the FSHD muscle microenvironment.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between wall shear stress (WSS) and the degree of lumen stenosis and plaque characteristics in patients with atherosclerotic stenosis in the middle brain.Methods:Thirty-four patients with moderate to severe unilateral middle cerebral artery stenosis in Nanjing First Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent routine magnetic resonance imaging and vascular wall imaging to obtain plaque parameters such as plaque area, remodeling mode and remodeling index. Based on magnetic resonance angiography, a computational fluid dynamics model was established to simulate the local hemodynamics near the lesion and quantify WSS. The patients were divided into high WSS group and low WSS group according to the median WSS. The differences of clinical baseline data, degree of lumen stenosis and plaque characteristics between the two groups were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used to calculate the correlation between WSS and lumen stenosis and plaque characteristics.Results:A total of 34 patients were included in this study, 17 in the high WSS group and 17 in the low WSS group. Compared with the low WSS group, the plasma homocysteine level in the high WSS group was lower [(11.10±4.96) μmol/L vs (16.97±6.98) μmol/L, t=-2.83, P=0.010], the degree of stenosis was lower (0.56±0.05 vs 0.66±0.08, t=-4.54, P<0.001), and the proportion of positive lumen remodeling was higher (12/17 vs 4/17, P=0.015). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the degree of lumen stenosis was negatively correlated with WSS ( r=-0.44, P=0.011), and the plaque area was not correlated with WSS. Conclusions:WSS in middle cerebral artery stenosis is related to the degree of lumen stenosis and the mode of vascular remodeling. Higher WSS has poor stability, but lower WSS is more likely to cause lumen stenosis.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of an outbreak of Chikungunya fever (CHIK) in Ruili city at Sino-Myanmar border area in Yunnan province, China, 2019.Methods:The data of CHIK cases in Ruili city were collected. Serum samples were collected from acute phase of the patients for the detection of the viral nucleic acid with real-time reverse transcription PCR assay.Results:A total of 121 CHIK cases (laboratory-confirmed cases) were reported in Ruili city in 2019, in which 98 were indigenous cases (80.99%) including 2 pregnant women and 3 neonatal cases (twin boys and 1 girl) were observed with vertical mother-to-child transmission), and 23 were imported cases (19.01%) from Myanmar. CHIK mainly occurred in Urban area (Mengmao town) and port area (Jiegao development zone) of Ruili city. The epidemic of CHIK lasted from September to November. The epidemic peak was in October (74.38%). The majority of patients were aged from 20—59 years (77.69%), in addition to 3 cases of mother-to-child transmission, the youngest was 3 months and the oldest 72 year-old. The male to female ratio was 1∶1.28 (53∶68). Occupational distribution of CHIK cases was mainly for the commercial service personnel (33.06%), home workers and unemployed persons (21.49%) and retiree (11.57%).Conclusions:During the outbreak of CHIK in Ruili in 2019, both indigenous and imported cases were detected. The imported CHIK cases from Myanmar were the main sources for local transmission of CHIK in Ruili city. This is the first time that a local epidemic of CHIK has occurred in Yunnan Province. It is necessary to strengthen control of the cross-border spread of CHIK in this area.
