Objective:To compare the mid-term efficacy of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome, and related postoperative complications.Method:Clinical data of patients undergoing indirect OAGB or SG from Jan to Dec 2022 was enrolled. Firty-eight patients were included in the OAGB group and 178 patients were included in the SG group. Propensity matching scores was performed with matching ratio of 1∶1. Eighty-four patients (42 in each group) were included in the analysis finally. We compared the differences in weight loss, metabolic syndrome remission, and postoperative complications among different groups.Result:The 2-year follow-up results show that the OAGB group and SG group showed similar improvements in weight, BMI, percentage of total weight loss, percentage of excess weight loss [(71.60±11.47)kg vs. (72.90±11.21)kg, t=0.529, P>0.05;(26.13±4.16)kg/m 2vs. (26.86±4.12)kg/m 2, t=0.805, P>0.05; (30.89%±9.68%) vs. (27.59%±7.74%), t=1.726, P>0.05; (99.25%± 36.35%) vs. (97.02%±40.97%), t=0.264, P>0.05]. In terms of metabolic complications, the OAGB group had a higher remission rate. The OAGB group showed more significant improvements in fasting plasma glucose, glycated Hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides, uric acid [(5.11±0.36)mmol/L vs. (5.40±0.63)mmol/L, t=2.593, P<0.05; (5.13%±0.4%) vs. (5.38%±0.36%), t=2.889, P<0.05; (0.94±0.35)mmol/L vs. (1.12±0.41)mmol/L, t=2.145, P<0.05; (330.60±73.73)μmol/L vs. (394.30±111.43)μmol/L, t=3.089, P<0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in hemoglobin and albumin, but the serum iron in the OAGB group was lower than SG group, and the difference was statistically significant [(14.45±7.75)μmol/L vs.(17.78±6.58)μmol/L, t=2.118, P<0.05]. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative complications. Conclusion:OAGB has similar weight loss effects and postoperative complication rates compared to SG, and effectively improves metabolic symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and value of nomogram based on base line clinical and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) characteristics for pretreatment predicting the depth of myometrial invasion and tumor grade of endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC).Methods:Preoperative baseline clinical characteristics and DCE-MRI characteristics of 194 EEC patients were prospectively collected at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University from October 2020 to January 2022 and used as a training set. Univariate analysis was conducted to compare baseline clinical characteristics and DCE-MRI quantitative parameters [including tumor volume, and mean, median, and standard deviation of volume transfer constant (K trans), rate constant (K ep), extravascular extracellular volume fraction (V e), and initial area under the enhancement curve (iAUC)] between patients with deep myometrial invasion (DMI) and those with superficial myometrial invasion (SMI), as well as between high-grade and low-grade EEC. Multivariate logistics regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors for the construction of nomogram. An independent external testing set comprising 127 EEC patients was retrospectively collected from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University and Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Xiamen Branch). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used for evaluating the model′s predictive performance and clinical net benefit, respectively. Results:(1) The depth of myometrial invasion: univariate analysis showed that in the training set, the EEC patients with DMI differed significantly from those with SMI in clinical characteristics including higher proportion of postmenopausal state and overweight [body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2], and abnormal levels of serum cancer antigen (CA) 125, CA 199, and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), and in DCE-MRI quantitative parameters including tumor volume, and median, mean, and standard deviation of K trans, median of V e, as well as median, mean, and standard deviation of iAUC (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the patient′s menstrual status, BMI, CA 199, tumor volume, and mean of iAUC were independent predictors of the depth of myometrial invasion, and constructed the nomogram (recorded as Nomogram_1), achieving an AUC of 0.861 (95% CI: 0.803-0.919) in the training set. In the independent external testing set, the AUC was 0.876 (95% CI: 0.815-0.938), with corresponding sensitivity of 82.0%, specificity of 80.7%, accuracy of 81.1%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 65.3%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 91.0% for predicting DMI. (2) The EEC grade: univariate analysis showed that in the training set, high-grade EEC patients differed significantly from low-grade EEC in clinical characteristics including patient′s age, the proportion of postmenopausal state and overweight, and abnormal levels of serum CA 125, and in DCE-MRI quantitative parameters including tumor volume, median, mean, and standard deviation of K trans, median and mean of V e, as well as median, mean, and standard deviation of iAUC (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the patient′s menstrual status, BMI, tumor volume, and median of V e emerged as independent predictors of EEC grade, and constructed the nomogram (recorded as Nomogram_2), achieving an AUC of 0.845 (95% CI: 0.786-0.893) in the training set. While in the external testing set, the AUC was 0.819 (95% CI: 0.744-0.894), with corresponding sensitivity of 72.4%, specificity of 72.4%, accuracy of 72.4%, PPV of 43.8%, and NPV of 89.9% for predicting high-grade EEC. (3) The DCA curves demonstrated that both Nomogram_1 and Nomogram_2 yielded obvious positive clinical net benefits across a wide range of threshold probabilities. Conclusion:The nomogram based on pretreatment clinical and DCE-MRI characteristics has the potential to noninvasive predict the depth of myometrial invasion and grade of EEC, providing valuable reference information for clinical management decision-making.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) combined with upper limb robot on upper limb dysfunction in patients with ischemic stroke. MethodsFrom January, 2023 to March, 2024, 56 inpatients with upper limb dysfunction after ischemic stroke were selected from Zhejiang Rehabilitation Medical Center, and divided into control group (n = 28) and experimental group (n = 28) randomly. All the patients received comprehensive treatment and upper limb robot training, while the control group received sham HD-tDCS and the experimental group received HD-tDCS, for four weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment. The cortical amplitude, cortical latency and central motor conduction time (CMCT) of transcranial magnetic stimulation motor-evoked potential (MEP) were recorded, and a correlation analysis was conducted. ResultsThe scores of FMA-UE, WMFT and MBI, and MEP cortical amplitude, cortical latency and CMCT improved in both groups after treatment (t > 3.177, P < 0.01), and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 3.610, P < 0.01). The scores of FMA-UE and WMFT negatively correlated with MEP cortical latency and CMCT, and positively correlated with MEP cortical amplitude (|r| > 0.448, P < 0.001). ConclusionHD-tDCS is effective on upper limb motor function and activities of daily living for patients with ischemic stroke, and can improve corticospinal motor conduction.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Lulongzaisheng decoction on ferroptosis in aplastic anemia (AA) model mice and its potential mechanism of action on AA.Methods:Using female BALB/c mice as controls (control group), a mouse model of AA was established by intraperitoneal injection of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) combined with oral gavage of busulfan. The AA group was treated with continuous oral gavage of Lulongzaisheng decoction for 10 days. The effects on the Jak2/Stat3/Acsl4 signaling pathway were assessed. Bone marrow biopsy and histopathological examination were performed to observe the degree of AA in each group of mice. Flow cytometry was used to detect the production of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the bone marrow cells. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the expression of 4-HNE in the sternum. Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the protein expression levels of Jak2, p-Jak2, Stat3, p-Stat3, and Acsl4. ELISA was used to measure the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the peripheral blood plasma.Results:Compared with the control group, mice in the AA group exhibited a reduction in hematopoietic tissues within the bone marrow cavity and significant fatty infiltration. In contrast, mice in the AA+Lulongzaisheng decoction group showed partial recovery of the bone marrow and a decrease in fatty infiltration. The lipid ROS proportions in the control, AA, and AA+Lulongzaisheng decoction groups were (47.01±3.07) %, (53.81±1.99) %, and (49.50±3.98) %, respectively ( P<0.05), indicating that the AA + Lulongzaisheng decoction group had a slightly lower accumulation of lipid ROS than the AA group. The expression areas of 4-HNE in the bone marrow cavity for the control, AA, and AA+Lulongzaisheng decoction groups were (6.34±1.07) %, (35.26±3.68) %, and (16.97±1.30) %, respectively ( P<0.05), demonstrating a significant reduction in 4-HNE accumulation in the bone marrow in the AA + Lulongzaisheng decoction group compared with that in the AA group. Compared with the control group, the AA group exhibited upregulated expression of the ferroptosis-related protein Acsl4, along with increased expression of p-Stat3 and p-Jak2. In the AA+ Lulongzaisheng decoction group, the expression of Acsl4 was downregulated, whereas those of p-Stat3 and p-Jak2 were inhibited ( P<0.05). The levels of IL-6 in the peripheral blood plasma were (65.60±6.01), (166.50±3.32), and (119.37±4.29) pg/ml in the control, AA, and AA+Lulongzaisheng decoction groups, respectively ( P<0.05). Compared with the AA group, the AA + Lulongzaisheng decoction group exhibited a significant decrease in IL-6 levels. Conclusion:This study shows that Lulongzaisheng decoction has a significant therapeutic effect on AA model mice by regulating the Jak2/Stat3/Acsl4 pathway. The mechanism of action of this traditional Chinese medicine involves inhibiting the Jak2/Stat3 signaling pathway and regulating the expression of Acsl4, thereby improving hematopoietic function in AA model mice. These findings provide new drug targets and treatment strategies for the treatment of AA.
