Objective:To investigate the long-term efficacy and influencing factors of transcatheter adrenal ablation in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA).Methods:This cohort study retrospectively enrolled PA patients who underwent transcatheter adrenal ablation at Daping Hospital, Army Medical University between January 2021 and December 2024. According to PASO criteria, patients were categorized into groups based on clinical outcomes (complete, partial, or no remission), biochemical outcomes (complete, partial, or no remission), and composite outcomes (complete or incomplete remission). All participants underwent 1-year follow-up, with intergroup comparisons of clinical characteristics and surgical approaches. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify factors influencing long-term efficacy post-transcatheter adrenal ablation in PA patients.Results:A total of 122 PA patients were enrolled, aged (47.7±11.1) years, including 55 males (45.1%). Baseline aldosterone-to-renin ratio was 0.43(0.19,0.86)(pmol·L -1)/(μU·L -1). Bilateral adrenal lesions were present in 33 cases (27.1%), while 70 (57.4%) had nodules or adenomas. Adrenal venous sampling confirmed lateralized hypersecretion in 107 patients (87.7%, left or right dominance). According to PASO criteria, 93.4% (114/122) and 95.1% (116/122) of patients achieved complete or partial remission in biochemical and clinical parameters at 1-year post-ablation, respectively. For biochemical outcomes: 40 complete, 74 partial, and 8 no remission. Patients in the partial-remission group were older than those in the no-remission group ((49.4±11.2) vs. (39.6±9.8) years), while complete-remission group had higher bilateral non-lateralized secretion rates than partial remission group (27.5% vs. 4.1%, both P<0.05). For clinical outcomes: 26 complete, 90 partial, 6 no remission. Compared to complete-remission group, partial-remission group had higher male proportion (51.1% vs. 26.9%), longer hypertension duration (4.0 (0.7, 10.0) years vs. 1.5 (0.1, 5.0) years), but lower office diastolic blood pressure ((88±11) mmHg vs. (94±12 mmHg), 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, all P<0.05). For composite outcomes: 56 complete and 66 incomplete remission. Compared with incomplete remission group, complete remission group had lower prevalence of diabetes (8.9% vs. 22.7%) and higher proportion of bilateral non-lateralized secretion (21.4% vs. 4.6%, both P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified diabetes ( OR=3.635, 95% CI 1.029-12.834, P=0.045) and lateralized secretion ( OR=9.056, 95% CI 2.039-40.212, P=0.004) as independent risk factors for poor composite outcomes after transcatheter adrenal ablation in PA patients, whereas higher office diastolic blood pressure acts as a protective factor ( OR=0.957, 95% CI 0.925-0.992, P=0.015). Conclusion:One year after transcatheter adrenal ablation, the majority of patients achieved complete or partial remission in biochemical and clinical parameters.Patients with non-lateralized adrenal hypersecretion demonstrated a higher likelihood of sustained biochemical remission and superior composite outcomes compared to those with lateralized hypersecretion.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.
