OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between preoperative waiting time and prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture. METHODS: From January 2014 to December 2018, 333 elderly hip fracture patients undergoing surgery were retrospectively analyzed, including 104 males and 229 females, aged from 60 to 99 years with an average of (77.93±8.49) years, and 183 patients were femoral neck fracture, 150 patients were femoral intertrochanteric fracture. Among them, 269 patients (80.78%) had a clustered preoperative waiting time of 2 to 8 days, and then divided into within 4-day group(91 cases) and over 4-day group(242 cases) according to their preoperative waiting time. The survival situation was followed by telephone, and follow-up time started from fracture admission to the death event, or to the research deadline (December 31, 2019). The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Cox risk proportion model was used to analyze the independent risk factors of hip fracture in elderly patients. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 12 to 75 months(means 35 months), 59 patients died and the mortality rate was 17.72%(59/333). Compared with within 4-day group, the mortality rate was higher in over 4-day group[20.66%(50/242) vs. 9.89%(9/91), χ²=5.263, P=0.022]. Multiariable Cox regression analysis showed that preoperative waiting time, age, male and Charlson comorbidity index were independent risk factors for the prognosis of hip fracture in elderly patients (all P<0.05), and every 1-day delay was associated with 5% increase of the risk of death[HR=1.05, 95%CI(1.00-1.10), P=0.045]. Subsequent analyse was stratified according to the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and found that over 4-day group had a higher mortality rate in patients with CCI<2, with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). CONCLUSION For elderly patients with hip fracture, most of hospitals could not complete the hip fracture surgery within 48 hours, we also need to shorten the waiting time before surgery, and thereby improve their prognosis.

On 18th October 2018, a 49 years old man with right thigh proximal medial swelling and pain was received in the Department of Pathology, People′s Hospital of Deyang of Sichuan Province. The patient had experienced amputation twice because of burn in right lower limb 46 years ago. Cicatricial squamous cell carcinoma metastasis in right thigh proximal medial was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology in our hospital. The wound remained ulcered and unhealed after biopsy in a higher level hospital. The patient died in ten days after first chemotherapy which was required by the patient. This case suggests that clinician should perform pathological examination on burn patients with scar ulcer as soon as possible to avoid delay in treatment, which may cause carcinogenesis deterioration and metastasis.

Objective The objective of this study was to compare the differences between Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiotherapy(VMAT)and Fixed Field dynamic Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy(dIMRT)in dose distribution of target and organ at risk and treatment time,and to provide basis for clinical treatment.Methods Ten patients with postoperative of cervical carcinoma were selected,VMAT and seven fields dIMRT plans were designed for each patient in Monaco 5.11 planning system.We compared the differences of dose distribution of target and organ at risk,monitor units and treatment time between VMAT and 7dIMRT.Results The average dose of target for VMAT plan(46.86 Gy)was higher than that of 7dIMRT plan(46.68 Gy)(P<0.05).The percentage of the V10 and V20 of rectum and the V30 of small intestine in VMAT plan was 0.63%,3.34% and 4.14% higher than that in 7dIMRT plan,respectively(P<0.05).The conformal index(CI),homogeneity index(HI)of PTV and the other exposure dose of organ at risk for both plans were no significant differences.The average monitor units and treatment time of VMAT plan were 13.4% and 50.6% than that of 7dIMRT plan,respectively(P<0.05).Conclusion The dose distribution of VMAT plan is better or equal to that of 7dIMRT plan,but the monitor units and treatment time of VMAT plan is decreased significantly,we suggest that VMAT plan should be used for postoperative of cervical carcinoma in clinical.

【Objective】 To explore the safety of transrectal ultrasound-guided transperineal injection of sodium hyaluronate to expand the Dirichlet gap in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. 【Methods】 A total of 14 healthy male purebred beagle dogs were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, with 7 in either group.The control group was treated with conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, while the experimental group was treated with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy after 2.5 mL sodium hyaluronate was injected into the Dirichlet gap under the guidance of transrectal ultrasound.The total operation time, prostate separation time, intraoperative blood loss and rectal status of the 2 groups were observed. 【Results】 After the injection of sodium hyaluronate into the Dirichlet gap between the prostate and the rectum, no rectal tissue was found in the prostate, and no obvious damage was found in the posterior rectum in either groups.The postoperative hemoglobin (HGB) was [(118.70±2.56) g/L vs.(122.10±2.19) g/L, P=0.02]; the total operation time was [(141.40±9.80) min vs.(119.10±9.16) min, P<0.05]; the prostate separation time was [(24.99±1.75) min vs.(16.64±2.34) min, P<0.05]; the amount of bleeding was [(47.43±4.32) mL vs.(34.86±5.18) mL, P<0.05] in the control group and experimental group. 【Conclusion】 Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy performed after 2.5 mL of sodium hyaluronate injection into the Dirichlet gap under the guidance of transrectal ultrasound can shorten the total operation time, the separation and resection time of the prostate, and reduce the amount of bleeding, which can improve and reduce the incidence of rectal injury, and prove the feasibility of this approach for prostatic cancer.

【Objective】 To explore the risk factors of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). 【Methods】 The clinical symptoms, signs, imaging examinations, and laboratory test results of two patients with TRALI after blood transfusion were retrospectively analyzed, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping of the patient and HLA antibodies typing of the plasma donors were performed. 【Results】 The clinical manifestations and laboratory parameters of two patients were consistent with those of TRALI after blood transfusion. After timely clinical respiratory support treatment, all patients were improved. Blood donors produced high titers of HLA-Ⅱ antibodies after pregnancy, including antibodies that specifically recognize the patient′s HLA antigen. 【Conclusion】 Two patients developed TRALI after platelet transfusion from a female blood donor, which was caused by HLA-Ⅱ antibodies.

Objective To explore the risk factors for renal anemia in hemodialysis patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Methods A total of 48 ESKD patients undergoing hemodialysis in our hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as study objects. They were divided into renal anemia group (86 cases) and non-anemia group (62 cases) based on hemoglobin (Hb) levels and diagnostic criteria for renal anemia. Clinical data between the two groups were compared. Random forest algorithm and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen for factors influencing renal anemia, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was established. Cross-validation was also employed to verify the stability of the model. A risk stratification system was developed, and patients were stratified based on cut-off values obtained from X-Tile software. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the discrimination ability of the multivariate Logistic regression model and the risk stratification system. Results Among 148 ESKD patients, the incidence of renal anemia was 58.11% (86/148). Hypertension, increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), increased serum ferritin (SF), and elevated intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were identified as risk factors for renal anemia (P < 0.05). Administration of α-calcidol, increased erythropoietin (EPO), elevated triglyceride (TG), and increased serum albumin (ALB) were protective factors (P < 0.05). The goodness-of-fit test for the multivariate Logistic regression model showed a Nagelkerke R2 of 0.593. Based on the cut-off values for risk scores obtained from X-Tile software, patients were stratified into low-risk group (< 4 points, 29 cases), medium-risk group (4 to < 7 points, 64 cases), and high-risk group (≥7 points, 55 cases), with renal anemia incidence rates of 24.14%, 57.81%, and 76.36%, respectively. The difference in renal anemia incidence rates among the three groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001). In the training set, the areas under the ROC curves for the multivariate Logistic regression model and the risk stratification system were 0.826 and 0.811, respectively, and were 0.804 and 0.789, respectively in the validation set. Conclusion The occurrence of renal anemia in hemodialysis patients with ESKD is influenced by various factors, including hypertension, NLR, CRP, etc.

Objective: To investigate the initial HRCT manifestations and clinical features of imported novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) in Guangzhou. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 91 NCP patients admitted to the Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital from January 22 to 30, 2020 was performed including 39 males and 52 females, with a median age of 50 (33-62) years, then their clinical features and HRCT characteristics were analyzed. Results: The main clinical presentations included fever in 70 cases and cough in 57 cases(mainly dry coughin39 cases). The first time HRCT showed that 24 cases with NCP were normal, however other 67 cases were abnormal. The ground glass opacity in the lung on HRCT was found in 65 cases, including 64 cases with dilated blood vessel crossing the lesion, 50 cases with thickened adjacent pleura, and 47 cases with thickening of interstitial septum. The patchy opacity was seen in 42 cases, and no enlarged lymph nodes were observed in all patients. As for the lesion distribution, there were two cases with bilateral diffuse changes, 57 cases with multiple lesions, 8 cases with the lesion in only one lobe. The lesions were mainly located under the pleura area in 46 cases, including 39 cases in the lower lobe and other 7 cases in the upper lobe. And there were 13 cases without characteristic distribution in the lung. Conclusions The initial images of NCP in Guangzhou mainly showed multiple ground glass opacity, which were mostly seen in the subpleural and lower lung fields, most of them with thickened pulmonary interstitium. Guangzhou has a higher proportion of NCP patients with mild and general patients, and some confirmed patients show negative HRCT for the first time. Patients without HRCT changes should be reviewed in a timely manner.
