Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To compare the application effects of electric impedance tomography (EIT)-guided positive end-expiratory pressure conventional PEEP and PEEP-fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) table-guided PEEP in the mechanical ventilation of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of 80 TBI patients complicated with ARDS admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from July 2020 to December 2022, including 42 males and 38 females, aged 29-59 years [(42.4±7.8)years]. The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores were 3-12 points [(7.7±2.2)points]. According to ARDS classification, 33 were mild, 26 moderate and 21 severe. All the patients were treated with mechanical ventilation according to lung protective ventilation strategy, including 42 patients treated with EIT-guided PEEP (EIT group) and 38 treated with conventional PEEP-FiO 2 table-guided PEEP (conventional group). At 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after ventilation, the optimal PEEP, respiratory mechanics [driving pressure (ΔP), static compliance (C St), mechanical power (MP)], pulmonary gas exchange [arterial blood pH value, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), oxygenation index (P/F)], ventilation distribution [heterogeneity index (GI), regions of interest (ROI)1-4], hemodynamics [heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP), mean arterial pressure (MAP)], cerebral perfusion status [intracranial pressure (ICP), regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO 2) grading], and treatment outcomes (mechanical ventilation duration, incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), length of ICU stay, 6-month survival rate) separately at their optimal PEEP were compared between the two groups. Results:All the patients were followed up for 6 months. The optimal PEEP of the EIT group was (7.4±1.0)cm, (8.2±1.2)cm, (9.8±0.8)cm and (8.4±0.7)cm respectively at 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after mechanical ventilation, which were higher than (7.0±1.0)cm, (7.6±1.0)cm, (9.0±0.6)cm and (7.2±0.5)cm of the conventional group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At their optimal PEEP separately, at 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after treatment, the ΔP of the EIT group was (7.1±1.3)cmH 2O, (7.7±1.3)cmH 2O, (9.5±1.1)cmH 2O and (6.1±1.3)cmH 2O respectively, which were all lower than (8.9±1.3)cmH 2O, (10.5±1.3)cmH 2O, (11.2±1.2)cmH 2O and (8.7±1.2)cmH 2O of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the C St of the EIT group was (51.5±4.2)ml/cmH 2O, (52.9±4.6)ml/cmH 2O, (55.1±4.3)ml/cmH 2O and (57.5±3.6)ml/cmH 2O, which were all higher than (46.8±3.9)ml/cmH 2O, (47.6±4.4)ml/cmH 2O, (49.9±4.3)ml/cmH 2O and (53.3±3.6)ml/cmH 2O of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05); the MP of the EIT group was (7.9±1.8)J/min, (8.8±1.3)J/min, (10.6±1.3)J/min and (7.8±0.9)J/min, which were lower than (8.6±1.5)J/min, (9.5±1.0)J/min, (12.2±1.8)J/min and (8.6±0.9)J/min of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the P/F of the EIT group was (207.1±7.1)mmHg, (213.1±6.9)mmHg, (239.3±13.1)mmHg and (255.5±11.8)mmHg, which were all higher than (179.6±7.2)mmHg, (187.8±9.6)mmHg, (212.8±9.6)mmHg and (228.1±12.3)mmHg of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the GI of the EIT group were 0.381±0.013, 0.387±0.012, 0.392±0.010 and 0.395±0.010, lower than 0.403±0.005, 0.406±0.005, 0.409±0.005 and 0.411±0.004 of traditional group respectively ( P<0.01); there were no significant differences in the arterial blood pH value, PaCO 2, ROI1-4, HR, CVP, MAP, ICP, or rScO 2 grading between the two groups (P>0.05). The ventilation duration of the EIT group was (78.5±9.0)hours, which was shorter than (83.1±7.4)hours of the conventional group ( P<0.05). The incidence of VILI was 0.0% (0/42) in the EIT group, which was lower than 7.8% (3/38) in the conventional group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the ICU stay or 6-month survival rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In mechanical ventilation treatment of TBI complicated with ARDS, the optimal PEEP guided by EIT was higher than that guided by PEEP-FiO 2 table. At this optimal PEEP, the respiratory mechanics and oxygen supply of the patients can be improved more effectively, making regional lung ventilation more uniform, reducing the mechanical ventilation time and decreasing the incidence of VILI without affecting their hemodynamics and brain perfusion.

Objective:To investigate the independent risk factors for postoperative severe pulmonary infection (SPI) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) and evaluate their predictive value.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 163 sTBI patients admitted to Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from April 2021 and March 2023, including 101 males and 62 females, aged 20-80 years [53.0(46.0, 59.0)years]. The surgical procedures involved decompressive craniectomy, subdural hematoma removal, epidural hematoma removal, and intracranial hematoma removal. The patients were divided into SPI group ( n=62) and non-SPI group ( n=101) according to whether they had SPI postoperatively. The following data of the two groups were collected, including gender, age, preoperative Glasgow coma scale (GCS), elevated blood glucose, abnormal liver function, abnormal renal function, hemoglobin level, anemia, albumin level, hypoproteinemia, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level. All the hematological tests were performed on venous blood samples collected preoperatively before anti-inflammatory treatment. Independent risk factors for predicting the postoperative occurrence of SPI in sTBI patients were identified through univariate analysis and multivariable stepwise regression analysis. The predictive value of separate indicator or indicators combined was assessed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:Univariate analysis demonstrated that preoperative GCS, albumin level, lymphocyte count, NLR, PNI and serum LDH level in both groups were significantly correlated with the postoperative occurrence of SPI ( P<0.05), while gender, age, elevated blood glucose, abnormal liver function, abnormal renal function, hemoglobin level, anemia, hypoproteinemia, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, platelet count, dNLR and PLR were not correlated with the postoperative occurrence of SPI in sTBI patients ( P>0.05). Multivariable stepwise regression analysis revealed that low lymphocyte count (95% CI -0.337, -0.013, P<0.05), high NLR (95% CI -0.023, -0.005, P<0.01), low PNI (95% CI 0.007, 0.026, P<0.01), and high serum LDH (95% CI -0.002, -0.001, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for SPI in sTBI patients ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis indicated that low lymphocyte count, high NLR, low PNI and high serum LDH level could predict SPI in sTBI patients postoperatively, with the combination of PNI and serum LDH showing the highest predictive ability (AUC=0.78, 95% CI 0.70, 0.85). Conclusion:Low lymphocyte count, high NLR, low PNI, and high serum LDH level are independent risk factors for postoperative SPI in patients with sTBI, and the combination of PNI and serum LDH possesses a high predictive value for postoperative SPI in sTBI patients.

Objective:To construct a prognostic predictive model for patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI) based on regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO 2) and transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) monitoring parameters and validate its effectiveness. Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 161 patients with msTBI who were treated at Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022, including 104 males and 57 females, aged 19-76 years [(53.1±12.8)years]. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 3-12 points [(7.0±1.9)points]. Both rScO 2 and TCD monitoring were performed. Based on the results of prognostic evaluation of patients with the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at 90 days after discharge, the patients were divided into good prognosis group (mRS score≤3 points, n=88) and poor prognosis group (mRS score of 4-6 points, n=73). The following data of the two groups were collected: the general data, clinical data, rScO 2 monitoring parameters and TCD monitoring parameters. Univariate analysis was employed to compare the differences in the relevant prognostic indicators. Multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictors of poor prognostic outcomes in msTBI patients and regression equations were constructed. A nomogram predictive model based on regression equations was drawn with R language. The discriminability of the model was evaluated by drawing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, to calculate the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and Jordan index of the model, and measuring the consistency index (C index). Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness of fit test was conducted to evaluate the fit of the model, and the calibration curve was used to evaluate the calibration degree of the model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was employed to evaluate the clinical benefit and applicability of the model. Results:There were significant differences between the two groups in the clinical data (cerebral hernia formation, GCS on admission, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score on admission, Rotterdam CT score on admission, oxygenation index on admission, mean arterial pressure on admission), rScO 2 monitoring parameters (mean rScO 2, maximum rScO 2, rScO 2 variability), TCD monitoring parameters [peak systolic blood flow velocity (Vs), average blood flow velocity (Vm), pulse index (PI)] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The results of multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that cerebral hernia formation ( OR=9.28, 95% CI 3.40, 25.33, P<0.01), Rotterdam CT score on admission ( OR=1.92, 95% CI 1.32, 2.78, P<0.01), rScO 2 variability ( OR=4.66, 95% CI 1.74, 12.43, P<0.01), Vs ( OR=0.66, 95% CI 0.61, 0.75, P<0.01) and PI ( OR=20.07, 95% CI 4.17, 16.50, P<0.01) were predictive factors for poor prognosis in patients with msTBI. The regression equation was constructed with the forementioned 5 variables: Logit [ P/(1- P)]=2.23×"brain hernia formation"+0.65×"Rotterdam CT score on admission"+1.54×"rScO 2 variability"-0.42×"Vs"+3.00×"PI"-6.75. The AUC of prognostic predictive model of msTBI patients was 0.90 (95% CI 0.85, 0.95), with the sensitivity and specificity of 86.3% and 78.4%, Youden index of 0.65 and C index of 0.90. H-L goodness of fit test showed that the calibration degree of the predictive model was accurate ( χ2 =12.58, P>0.05). The average absolute error of the calibration curve was 0.025, showing that the calibration of the model was good. DCA results showed that this model had higher net return rate than the reference model within the probability range of risk threshold (20%-100%), with good clinical application value in evaluating the risk of poor prognosis of msTBI patients. Conclusion:The model constructed based on the combination of rScO 2 and TCD monitoring parameters (rScO 2 variability, Vs and PI) with multiple clinical indicators (cerebral hernia formation and Rotterdam CT score on admission) has good predictive performance for the prognosis of msTBI.

Objective:To construct a predictive model for intensive care unit (ICU) and in-hospital mortality risk in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and validate its performance.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 3 907 patients with TBI published until May 2018 in the eICU Collaborative Research Database v2.0 (eICU-CRD v2.0), including 2 397 males and 1 510 females, aged 18-92 years [63.0(43.0, 79.0)years]. According to whether the patients died in ICU or at hospital stay, they were divided into ICU survival group ( n=3 575) and ICU mortality group ( n=332), and hospital survival group ( n=3 413) and hospital mortality group ( n=494). The general data, admission diagnosis, laboratory tests, therapeutic interventions, and clinical outcomes were extracted as variables of interest. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were conducted on both the survival groups and the mortality groups to identify the independent risk factors that affect ICU and in-hospital mortality in TBI patients, based on which a Logistic regression prediction model was constructed and represented by Nomograms. The extracted dataset was randomly divided into training set ( n=2 735) and validation set ( n=1 172) with a ratio of 7∶3, and was applied for internal validation of the of the predictive model. Meanwhile, the data of TBI patients in the MIMIC-III v1. 4 database were extracted for external validation of the predictive model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used for discriminability evaluation of the model, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness of fit test and calibration curve were used for calibration evaluation of the model. Results:The statistically significant variables identified in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis of ICU mortality and in-hospital mortality risk. The results revealed that acute physiology and chronic health evaluation IV (APACHE IV) score ( OR=1.04, 95% CI 1.03, 1.04, P<0.01), Glasgow coma scale (GCS) ( OR=0.66, 95% CI 0.59, 0.73, P<0.01), cerebral hernia formation ( OR=6.91, 95% CI 3.13, 15.26, P<0.01), international normalized ratio (INR) ( OR=1.33, 95% CI 1.09, 1.62, P<0.01), use of hypertonic saline ( OR=0.45, 95% CI 0.21 0.94, P<0.05), and use of vasoactive agents ( OR=2.19, 95% CI 1.36, 3.52, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for ICU mortality in TBI patients. The age (with 10 years as a grade) ( OR=1.28, 95% CI 1.17, 1.40, P<0.01), APACHE IV score ( OR=1.03, 95% CI 1.02, 1.04, P<0.01), GCS ( OR=0.75, 95% CI 0.71, 0.80, P<0.01), cerebral hernia formation ( OR=6.44, 95% CI 2.99, 13.86, P<0.01), serum creatinine level ( OR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01, 1.15, P<0.05), INR ( OR=1.49, 95% CI 1.20, 1.85, P<0.01), use of hypertonic saline ( OR=0.41, 95% CI 0.21, 0.80, P<0.01), and use of vasoactive agents ( OR=2.27, 95% CI 1.46, 3.53, P<0.01) were independent risk factors of in-hospital mortality of TBI patients. Based on the forementioned independent risk factors for ICU mortality, the model equation was constructed: Logit P (ICU)=7.12+0.03×"APACHE IV score"-0.42×"GCS"+1.93×"cerebral hernia formation"+0.28×"INR"-0.81×"use of hypertonic saline"+0.79×"use of vasoactive agents". Based on the forementioned independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality, the model equation was constructed: Logit P (in-hospital)=2.75+0.25×"age"(with 10 years as a grade)+0.03×"APACHE IV score"-0.28×"GCS"+1.86×"cerebral hernia formation"+0.07×"serum creatinine level"+0.40×"INR"-0.90×"use of hypertonic saline"+0.82×"use of vasoactive agents". In the prediction model for ICU mortality, the AUC of the training set and validation set was 0.95 (95% CI 0.94, 0.97) and 0.91 (95% CI 0.87, 0.95). The result of H-L goodness of fit test of the training set was P=0.495 with the average absolute error in the calibration curve of 0.003, while the result of H-L goodness of fit test of the validation set was P=0.650 with the average absolute error in the calibration curve of 0.012. In the prediction model for in-hospital mortality, the AUC of the training set and validation set was 0.91 (95% CI 0.89, 0.93) and 0.91(95% CI 0.88, 0.94). The result of H-L goodness of fit test of the training set was P=0.670 with the average absolute error in the calibration curve of 0.006, while the result of H-L goodness of fit test of the validation set was P=0.080 with the average absolute error in the calibration curve of 0.021. In the external validation set of ICU mortality risk, the AUC of the prediction model was 0.88 (95% CI 0.86, 0.90), while the result of H-L goodness of fit test was P=0.205 with the average absolute error in the calibration curve of 0.031. In the external validation set of in-hospital mortality risk, the AUC of the prediction model was 0.88 (95% CI 0.85, 0.91), while the result of H-L goodness of fit test was P=0.239 with the average absolute error in the calibration curve of 0.036. The internal and external validation of the model indicated that both the prediction models for ICU and in-hospital mortality had good discriminability and calibration. Conclusion:The ICU mortality prediction model constructed by APACHE IV score, GCS, cerebral hernia formation, use of hypertonic saline, vasoactive agents use of and INR, and the in-hospital mortality prediction model constructed by age grading, APACHE IV score, GCS, cerebral hernia formation, serum creatinine level, hypertonic saline use of, use of vasoactive agents and INR can predict the mortality risk of TBI patients well.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) under enhanced regional and conventional anesthesia for multisegmental acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures (m-ASOTLF).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the data of 91 patients with m-ASOTLF who were admitted to Honghui Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from January 2021 to December 2022, including 36 males and 55 females, aged 55-80 years [(67.4±7.3)years]. According to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification system, 18 patients were classified as grade I, 52 grade II, and 21 grade III. Injured segments included T 6-T 10 in 23 patients, T 11-L 2 in 47 and L 3-L 5 in 21. All the patients were treated with PVP, among whom 45 were given enhanced regional anesthesia (enhanced anesthesia group) and 46 regional conventional anesthesia (conventional anesthesia group). The following indicators were compared between the two groups: the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative heart rate, intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP), number of intraoperative fluoroscopies, and total amount of bone cement injected; the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) before surgery, at 1 day, 1 month after surgery and at the last follow-up; the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) before surgery, at 1, 6, and 12 hours after surgery; the anterior vertebrae height (AVH), middle vertebrae height (MVH), and vertebral kyphosis angle (VKA) before and at 1 day after surgery; the incidence of complications such as bone cement leakage. Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-20 months [(15.8±2.6)months]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative heart rate, intraoperative MAP, number of intraoperative fluoroscopies or total amount of bone cement injected ( P>0.05). No significant differences were found between the two groups in VAS or ODI before surgery and at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). The VAS scores in the enhanced anesthesia group were (2.5±0.4)points and (1.8±0.3)points at 1 day and 1 month postoperatively respectively, which were both lower than (3.5±0.4)points and (2.0±0.5)points in the conventional anesthesia group ( P<0.01). The ODI values in the enhanced anesthesia group were 39.8±3.3 and 26.5±5.0 at 1 day and 1 month postoperatively respectively, which were both lower than 43.8±7.5 and 30.3±6.4 in the conventional anesthesia group ( P<0.01). The VAS and ODI at all postoperative time points decreased in both groups compared with those before surgery, with significant differences among those at all postoperative time points ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the MMSE scores before, at 1, 6, and 12 hours after surgery ( P>0.05). The MMSE scores at 1 and 6 hours postoperatively were lower than that preoperatively in both groups ( P<0.05), and it was increased at 6 hours compared with that at 1 hour postoperatively ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the MMSE scores at 12 hours postoperatively and preoperatively in both groups ( P>0.05). The differences between the two groups in AVH, MVH, or VKA preoperatively were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The AVH and MVH at 1 day postoperatively in the enhanced anesthesia group were (22.4±4.2)mm and (22.7±3.7)mm respectively, which were both higher than those in the conventional anesthesia group [(19.3±3.7)mm and (20.1±6.3)mm] ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the VKA at 1 day postoperatively in the enhanced anesthesia group was (13.9±3.7)°, which was lower than that in the conventional anesthesia group (15.8±4.1)° ( P<0.05). The AVH, MVH, and VKA in both groups were all improved at 1 day postoperatively compared with those preoperatively ( P<0.05). The incidence of bone cement leakage in the enhanced anesthesia group was 6.7% (3/45), which was lower than 21.7% (10/46) in the conventional anesthesia group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with conventional regional anesthesia, PVP under enhanced regional anesthesia for m-ASOTLF has more advantages in early postoperative pain relief, improvement of spinal function, restoration of vertebral height and reduction of bone cement leakage.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of 149 OVCF patients who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 2019 to June 2022, including 21 males and 128 females, aged 56-97 years [(73.2±8.7)years]. Initial surgical segments included T 7 in 1 patient, T 8 in 10, T 9 in 6, T 10 in 6, T 11 in 19, T 12 in 28, L 1 in 38, L 2 in 18, L 3 in 11, L 4 in 7 and L 5 in 5. Patients were divided into refracture group ( n=32) and non-refracture group ( n=117) according to whether they had postoperative refracture after PKP. Refractured surgical segments included T 8 in 2 patients, T 9 in 2, T 11 in 4, T 12 in 5, L 1 in 7, L 2 in 4, L 3 in 6, and L 5 in 2. The age, gender, underlying diseases (hypertension, diabetes), body mass index (BMI), preoperative bone mineral density (BMD), smoking history, drinking history, follow-up time, preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), and preoperative Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) of the two groups were recorded. Preoperative paravertebral muscle-related parameters of the two groups were calculated including cross-sectional area of bilateral psoas, bilateral erector spinae, bilateral multifidus, and vertebral bodies, paravertebral muscle mass, and vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score. Univariate analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between the fore-mentioned indicators and postoperative refracture after PKP in OVCF patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the independent risk factors for postoperative refracture after PKP in OVCF patients. Results:Univariate analysis revealed that there was certain correlation of BMI, preoperative BMD, cross-sectional area of bilateral psoas, bilateral erector spinae, bilateral multifidus, paravertebral muscle mass and VBQ score with postoperative refracture after PKP in OVCF patients ( P<0.01), while no correlation was found between age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking history, drinking history, follow-up time, preoperative VAS, preoperative ODI, or cross-sectional area of vertebral bodies and postoperative refracture after PKP in OVCF patients ( P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative BMD ≤-3.4 SD ( OR=0.27, 95% CI 0.09, 0.80, P<0.05), paravertebral muscle mass ≤281.2% ( OR=0.98, 95% CI 0.97, 0.99, P<0.01) and VBQ score ≥4.8 points ( OR=4.41, 95% CI 1.18, 16.44, P<0.05) were significantly correlated with postoperative refracture after PKP in OVCF patients. Conclusion:Preoperative BMD ≤-3.4 SD, paravertebral muscle mass ≤281.2%, and VBQ score ≥4.8 points are the independent risk factors for refracture after PKP in OVCF patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic modified anatomic glenoid reconstruction with Enden-Hybinette procedure combined with loop plate fixation in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder combined with severe glenoid bone loss.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze 36 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder combined with severe glenoid bone loss who were admitted to 901st Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from January 2019 to January 2021, including 28 males and 8 females, aged 18-33 years [(29.5±3.0)years]. All the patients had injury history. The dislocation frequency range was 2-40 times [(20.5±6.5)times]. Beighton scale scores were 3-9 points [(4.0±0.8)points]. All the patients underwent anatomic reconstruction of the glenoid bone with arthroscopic modified Enden-Hybinette procedure using iliac autograft and loop plate elastic fixation. Posterior glenoid version angle, the breadth of the glenoid cavity and the A-P glenoid cavity depth were measured and osseous anatomy of the reconstructed glenoid bone was evaluated. Union of the Iliac bone block and glenoid bone loss was observed and the absorption rate of the bone block was evaluated at 6 months after surgery. The shoulder stability score, functional activity score, joint range of motion score and total Rowe score of shoulder function were used to evaluate the shoulder stability, functional activity and movement before surgery, at 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The incidence of complications was observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-24 months [(18.8±3.5)months]. At 1, 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, posterior glenoid version angle was (11.3±1.7)°, (10.6±1.2)°, (9.1±2.0)° and (9.2±1.9)° respectively; the breadth of the glenoid cavity was (34.2±1.3)mm, (33.2±1.0)mm, (32.2±1.0)mm and (31.3±1.1)mm respectively; the A-P glenoid cavity depth was (2.6±0.1)mm, (2.4±0.1)mm, (2.3±0.2)mm and (2.2±0.2)mm respectively, which were all significantly improved compared with those before surgery [(-5.9±1.0)°, (24.3±1.2)mm and (0.6±0.1)mm respectively] ( P<0.01), with no significant differences among those at different postoperative time points ( P>0.05). Bony union was observed in the iliac bone block and glenoid bone loss after bone grafting in all the patients at 6 months after surgery and the iliac bone block resorption rate was (20.5±4.1)%. At 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the shoulder stability score was (41.5±6.1)points, (43.9±6.3)points and (44.7±5.0)points respectively; the functional activity score was (26.9±2.5)points, (27.1±2.5)points and (28.6±2.3)points respectively; the joint range of motion score was (13.9±1.0)points, (14.9±1.2)points and (15.8±1.5)points respectively; the total Rowe score of shoulder function was (81.4±11.5)points, (85.8±12.3)points and (86.4±9.8)points respectively, which were significantly improved compared with those before surgery [(6.1±1.5)points, (11.9±1.5)points, (8.5±1.4)points and (27.4±7.5)points respectively] ( P<0.01), with no significant differences among those at different postoperative time points ( P>0.05). At the follow-up, no complications such as incision infection, neurological injuries, implant failure of displacement, recurrent re-dislocation of the shoulder or osteoarthritis were observed. Conclusion:Arthroscopic modified anatomic glenoid reconstruction with Enden-Hybinette procedure combined with loop plate fixation in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder combined with severe glenoid bone loss has the advantages of better osseous anatomy of the reconstructed glenoid bone, better bony union, satisfactory shoulder stability, functional restoration, etc.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of Precede-Proceed model nursing in postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment of patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture (OTLF).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 168 patients with OTLF admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2021 to June 2022, including 32 males and 136 females, aged 56-81 years [(72.0±6.6)years]. The fractured segments were T 1-T 10 in 29 patients, T 11-L 2 in 114 and L 3-L 5 in 25, all of whom were treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The 86 patients admitted from September 2021 to January 2022 were treated with conventional care (conventional nursing group) and the 82 patients admitted from February to June 2022 with Precede-Proceed model care (Precede-Proceed model nursing group). The compliance rates of anti-osteoporosis treatment at 1 and 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups, mainly including standardized medication, balanced diet, exercise and regular return visit. Chinese Osteoporosis Quality of Life (COQOL) questionnaire, including pain degree, physical function, social interaction ability, psychological and mental function, and total score were assessed before, at 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. Bone mineral density was measured preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Recurrence rate was recorded at the last follow-up. Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-16 months [(13.2±1.0)months]. There were 3 patients in the conventional nursing group and 2 in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group who were lost to follow-up. The compliance rates of standardized medication and regular return visit at 1 month after surgery were 97.5% (78/80) and 98.8% (79/80) in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group, which had no significant difference compared with 90.3% (75/83) and 96.4% (80/83) in the conventional nursing group ( P>0.05). The compliance rates of balanced diet and exercise at 1 month after surgery were 92.5% (74/80) and 91.3% (73/80) in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group, which were higher than those in the conventional nursing group [78.3% (65/83) and 73.5% (61/83)] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The compliance rates of standardized medication, balanced diet, exercise and regular return visit at 6 months after surgery were 86.3% (69/80), 83.8% (67/80), 82.5% (66/80) and 90% (72/80) in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group, which were higher than those in the conventional nursing group [57.8% (48/83), 60.2% (50/83), 38.6% (32/83) and 37.3% (31/83)] ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the compliance rates of all the aspects in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group were 80% (64/80), 75% (60/80), 70% (56/80) and 82.5% (66/80), which were all higher than those of the conventional nursing group [36.1% (30/83), 54.2% (45/83), 26.5% (22/83) and 27.7% (23/83)] ( P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in COQOL scores including pain degree, physical function, social interaction ability, psychological and mental function and total scores between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05). The pain degree, social interaction ability, psychological and mental function and total scores of COQOL in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group were lower than those in conventional nursing group at 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no statistical difference in the physical function of COQOL scores at 6 months after surgery ( P>0.05). The physical function of COQOL scores in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group were significantly lower than that of the conventional nursing group at the last follow-up ( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in preoperative bone mineral density between the two groups ( P>0.05). Bone mineral density in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group was (-2.7±0.9)SD at the last follow-up, which was higher than that in the conventional nursing group [(-3.1±0.9)SD] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, bone mineral density of the Precede-Proceed model nursing group was significantly improved compared with that before surgery ( P<0.01), while there was no significant difference in the conventional nursing group ( P>0.05). The incidence of refracture in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group was 3.8% (3/80), which was lower than that in conventional nursing group [13.3% (11/83)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional nursing mode, the Precede-Proceed model nursing can significantly improve the compliance rate of OTLF patients with postoperative anti osteoporosis treatment, improve their quality of life and bone quality, and reduce the incidence of refracture.

Lower cervical fracture and dislocation combined with facet interlocking is an acute spinal cord injury caused by flexion-distraction and rotational force. It can result in various degrees of quadriplegia and urinary and defecation disorders, with a high rate of disability, most of which requires surgical treatment. Surgical treatment options for lower cervical fracture and dislocation combined with facet interlocking include anterior approach, posterior approach and combined surgical approach. However, the optimal treatment option remains to be determined. The anterior approach, with the advantages of simple access, smaller trauma, fewer complications, and good sagittal balance, is currently the preferred treatment option for lower cervical fracture and dislocation combined with facet interlocking. Many methods of surgical repositioning and fixation are available in anterior approach, but the choice of surgical repositioning and fixation options in anterior approach is still controversial among scholars. For this purpose, the authors reviewed the progress of researches on anterior surgical approach for lower cervical fracture and dislocation combined with facet interlocking, aiming to provide a reference for its clinical treatment.
