2.Strengthen the understanding and standardize the systematic treatment of brucellosis spondylitis
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2021;41(20):1443-1446
Brucellosis spondylitis (BS) is a kind of brucellosis, accounting for 2% to 53% of the incidence of brucellosis. In recent years, the disease is prevalent in China because of the development of aquaculture and the increase of urban pet raising. At present, the pathological characteristics of BS are not well understood and the treatment is not standardized. Therefore, this paper mainly summarized the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of BS, combined with the author's experience and relevant studies in recent years, so as to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of BS in clinical work. The current BS standard clinical diagnosis also relies on epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, imaging manifestations and laboratory examination for comprehensive diagnosis. Only diagnose from a certain aspect of the disease might lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, easy to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Although BS has some specific clinical features, it is sometimes clinically required to be differentiated from spinal tuberculosis and spinal tumor, especially from spinal tuberculosis. Drug therapy is the most basic or important part of BS treatment, while surgical treatment is an important means of BS treatment. At present, there is a lack of high-quality clinical researches on BS in China, and most of the researches on BS are clinical experience summary, lacking randomized controlled trial research. Therefore, the multi-center study of BS plays an important role in the standardized treatment of BS.
3.Differential diagnosis and treatment of brucella spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2021;41(20):1484-1492
Brucella spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis are two common specific infectious diseases in spine surgery. They have many similar manifestations in clinical manifestations and imaging features. Clinically, there are symptoms such as pain, fever, hyperhidrosis, and anorexia. When inflammation involves the intervertebral space, intervertebral disc, or epidural abscess, it can cause nerve compression, resulting in pain, numbness, sensory disturbances, and decreased muscle strength in the corresponding innervated areas. And even in severe cases it can cause paralysis. The early imaging of both showed bone destruction of the involved vertebral body, narrowing or disappearance of the intervertebral space, and the formation of paravertebral abscesses. Therefore, it is very easy to cause misdiagnosis. This article compares and summarizes the diagnosis of brucellosis spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis from four aspects: clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and laboratory examinations and histopathological examinations. Based on the above, the treatment principles and surgical indications of the two diseases were summarized and discussed from the aspects of drug treatment and surgical treatment, with an aim to further improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the two diseases.

Objective:To investigate the difference between simple posterior interbody fixation and fusion and posterior interbody fixation combined with focus debridement and bone graft fusion for the treatment of mono- and bi-segmental lumbar brucella spondylitis.Methods:A total of 63 patients (42 males and 21 females), aged 50.9±8.18 years (range from 38 to 69 years) with mono- and bi-segmental lumbar brucella spondylitis who received surgical treatment from June 2014 to Feb 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 44 cases of mono-segmental and 19 cases of bi-segmental. Thirty-one cases were treated with single posterior interbody fixation and fusion (PIFF group), and 32 caseswere treated with posterior interbody fixation combined with focus debridement and bone graft fusion (debridement group). The main observation indicators include operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative medication time, Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Frankel score and clinical efficacy.Results:All of 63 patients were followed up for 27.16±6.07 months (range 15 to 38 months). The operation time of mono-segmental patients of PIFF group was 105.86±16.66 min,the intraoperative blood loss was 295.00±55.11 ml, and the postoperative hospitalization was 4.45±1.53 days, which was significantly shorter than debridement group ( P<0.001), while the postoperative medication time was without significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The opration time of bi-segmental patients of PIFF group was 150.33±26.29 min, the intraoperative blood loss was 242.05±50.56 ml, and the postoperative hospitalization was 4.56±1.50 days, which was significantly shorter than debridement group ( P<0.001), while the postoperative medication time was also without significant difference between the two groups. At the last follow-up time, the VAS scores and ODI values of mono- and bi-segments in PIFF group and debridement group were lower than those preoperation, but there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in CRP between mono-segments of PIFF group and debridement group at the preoperation, 3 months after operation and the last follow-up time ( P>0.05). The CRP in mono-segments of PIFF group and debridement group decreased at 3 months after the operation compared with that preoperation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). There was no significant difference in CRP between bi-segments of PIFF group and debridement group at 3 months after operation and the last follow-up time ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in ESR between mono- and bi-segments of PIFF group and debridement group at 3 months after operation and the last follow-up time ( P>0.05). There was significant difference in ESR between mono- and bi-segments of PIFF group and debridement group at the preoperation, 3 months after operation and the last follow-up time. There was no statistical difference in the proportion of excellent postoperative clinical efficacy between the two groups. Complications were observed in two patients in PIFF group (6.5%, 2/31) compared with 8 patients in debridement group (25%, 8/32, χ2=4.057, P=0.044). Conclusion:On the basis of standardized anti-brucella drug therapy, simple posterior interbody fixation and fusion for the treatment of brucella spondylitis has a satisfactory surgical effect, and has the advantages of less surgical trauma, shorter time, earlier postoperative movement time and fewer complications.

ObjectiveTo analyze the mental health status of non-psychiatric inpatients in a general hospital, and to explore the relevant influencing factors, so as to provide references for the screening of mental health problems and the construction of intervention models among non-psychiatric inpatients. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 916 non-psychiatric inpatients in a third grade class A general hospital in Guangzhou, and all the inpatients were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 item (GAD-7), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) to detect their depression, anxiety, insomnia and suicide risk status. Thereafter, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors affecting the mental health of inpatients. ResultsA total of 339 (37.0%) inpatients with positive mental health problems were screened, and the screening results for each dimension revealed 218 cases (23.8%) of depression, 141 cases (15.4%) of anxiety, 257 cases (28.1%) of insomnia, 42 cases (4.6%) of suicidal ideation and 7 cases (0.8%) of suicidal behavior. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1.379, P<0.05) was a risk factor for positive screening of mental health problems. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis denoted that age above 60 years old (OR=1.542, P<0.05) and singlehood (OR=2.055, P<0.05) were risk factors affecting the severity of depression, while senior high school to junior college education (OR=0.524, P<0.05) was a protective factor of depression, meantime, female (OR=1.472, P<0.05) was a risk factor affecting the severity of insomnia. ConclusionMental health problems are quite common among non-psychiatric inpatients in general hospitals, and are mainly affected by factors such as gender, age, marital status and educational background.
