Retinal displacement refers to the strong fluorescent lines parallel to the retinal vessels that are detected through autofluorescence examination after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)surgery. Actually, even if patients with RRD achieve macroscopic structural reattachment after the operation, the visual function of some patients remains suboptimal. This is associated with the incomplete recovery of retinal function, and retinal displacement is one of the critical influencing factors. This paper reviews the related concepts of retinal displacement and systematically summarizes the incidence of retinal displacement after RRD surgery and its impact on function, the possible mechanisms of retinal displacement, and the influence of various factors on the occurrence of retinal displacement reported in the recent 5 a. It is conducive to enabling surgeons to conduct better design and planning for retinal reattachment surgeries, then achieve higher integrity of retinal function recovery, and enable patients to obtain better postoperative visual function.

Objective:To investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of split liver transplantation (SLT) in clinical application.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. The clinical data of 203 consecutive SLT, 79 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and 1 298 whole liver transplantation (WLT) performed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2014 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and three SLT liver grafts were obtained from 109 donors. One hundred and twenty-seven grafts were generated by in vitro splitting and 76 grafts were generated by in vivo splitting. There were 90 adult recipients and 113 pediatric recipients. According to time, SLT patients were divided into two groups: the early SLT group (40 cases, from July 2014 to December 2017) and the mature SLT technology group (163 cases, from January 2018 to July 2023). The survival of each group was analyzed and the main factors affecting the survival rate of SLT were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis.Results:The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 74.58%, 71.47%, and 71.47% in the early SLT group, and 88.03%, 87.23%, and 87.23% in the mature SLT group, respectively. Survival rates in the mature SLT group were significantly higher than those in the early SLT group ( χ2=5.560, P=0.018). The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year were 93.41%, 93.41%, 89.95% in the LDLT group and 87.38%, 81.98%, 77.04% in the WLT group, respectively. There was no significant difference among the mature SLT group, the LDLT group and the WLT group ( χ2=4.016, P=0.134). Abdominal hemorrhage, infection, primary liver graft nonfunction,and portal vein thrombosis were the main causes of early postoperative death. Conclusion:SLT can achieve results comparable to those of WLT and LDLT in mature technology liver transplant centers, but it needs to go through a certain time learning curve.

Lithium(Li)salts are commonly used as psychotropic medications for the treatment of major depressive disorders.However,long-term use of Li salts poses a high risk of toxicity,necessitating continuous monitoring of Li concentration in patient blood to ensure medication safety,which is crucial for clinical treatment.Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS),as a rapid analytical technique,has been widely applied in the elemental analysis of complex matrices in various practical scenarios.In this study,LIBS technology combined with partial least squares(PLS)was employed for quantitative analysis of Li elements in blood matrix.A total of 45 clinical blood samples were utilized,and the quantitative models for plasma and whole blood matrices were separately investigated.The number of latent variables in the PLS algorithm was optimized using a five-fold cross-validation method.Results revealed that the PLS quantitative model constructed on the basis of plasma matrix achieved a predictive determination coefficient(R2)of 0.992,a predictive root mean square error(RMSEP)of 0.204 μg/mL,and a relative standard error(RSD)of 2.14%.In contrast,for the PLS quantitative model constructed on the basis of whole blood matrix,the R2 was 0.984,the RMSEP was 0.728 μg/mL,and the RSD was 3.45%Consequently,the LIBS model constructed on the basis of plasma calibration values demonstrated superior performance in quantitative analysis of Li element in whole blood,and LIBS technology provided a new possibility for rapid assessment of blood Li levels in clinical practice,with promising prospects for application.

Objective:To evaluate the optimization effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB)combined with general anesthesia on Nuss procedure in pediatric patients with pectus excavatum undergoing Nuss procedure.Methods:One hundred and eight pediatric patients of either sex, aged 7-18 yr, with body mass index within the normal range, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective Nuss procedure, were randomized into 3 groups ( n=36 each) using a random number table method: ultrasound-guided ESPB combined with general anesthesia group (group E), thoracic epidural anesthesia plus general analgesia group (group T), and general analgesia group (group G). Pediatric patients received ultrasound-guided bilateral ESPB (0.3% ropivacaine was injected, 0.5 ml/kg bilateral total volume [maximum 20 ml]) or thoracic epidural anesthesia (0.3% ropivacaine 0.5 ml/kg [maximum 20 ml/side]) after induction of anesthesia in group E and group T, respectively. All the three groups underwent general anesthesia, anesthesia was induced with propofol 2-3 mg/kg, sufentanil 0.3-0.5 μg/kg and cis-atracurium 0.1-0.2 mg/kg and maintained with propofol 6-10 mg·kg -1·h -1 and remifentanil 0.1-0.3 μg·kg -1·min -1. The patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated after anesthesia induction. The parent-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used for patients in all the three groups postoperatively. The consumption of intraoperative remifentanil and postoperative consumption of sufentanil for PCIA in each period after surgery were recorded. The time to the first rescue analgesia, consumption of ibuprofen and postoperative complications were also recorded. Results:Compared with group G, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil and postoperative consumption of sufentanil for PCIA in each period were significantly decreased, the time to the first rescue analgesia was prolonged, and the consumption of ibuprofen was decreased in group E ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:ESPB combined with general analgesia is helpful in reducing postoperative hyperalgesia in pediatric patients undergoing the Nuss procedure.

This paper discussed the current education status on medical ethics and styles and the assessment condition in the examination of doctors' qualification， as well as the existing problems and potential solutions by reviewing domestic and foreign literature and summarizing the practice experience. Traditionally， medical ethics and styles have always been integrated into clinical medical practice in China. However， under the modern medical education system， it is challenged to integrate traditional education on medical ethics and styles with the rules of modern medical knowledge. By summarizing the education and assessment status of medical ethics and styles in the examination of doctors' qualification， it is found that the current examination is relatively poor in the evaluation content， and the way of evaluation is not diverse， with lack of curriculum of medical humanities. The solutions suggested are enriching relevant examination content， introducing more and comprehensive evaluation method， and establishing more medical humanities-related courses.

Objective To compare the efficacy of renal proximal renal artery denervation(pRDN)and full-length renal artery denervation(fRDN)for treatment of hypertension.Methods Fifty-six hypertensive patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to full-length renal artery denervation group(n=25)and proximal renal artery denervation group(n=31).After the procedure,24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(24 h-ABPM)at 6 months and office blood pressure at 12 months was recorded for statistical analysis.Results The blood pressure at follow-up reduced significantly in both groups,while there was no significant difference between groups.The baseline office blood pressure in fRDN group and pRDN group was(180±15)/(104±10)mmHg and(180±12)/(103±8)mmHg,respectively,which decreased to(142±9)/(82±7)mmHg and(143±10)/(83±6)mmHg at 12 months postoperatively(P＜0.001 within groups and P＞0.05 between groups).The baseline 24 h-ABPM in the two groups was(162±13)/(95±8)mmHg and(160±12)/(94±8)mmHg,respectively,which decreased to(142±11)/(83±7)mmHg and(141±8)/(81±7)mmHg at 6 months postoperatively(P＜0.001 within groups and P＞0.05 between groups).However,there was no significant difference in the reduction of office blood pressure and ambulatory blood pressure between the two groups.No treatment-related adverse events were observed.Conclusions pRDN has similar antihypertensive effect to fRDN.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between cancer node status identified after radical resection and patterns of recurrence in stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer patients for developing personalized follow-up plans in node-positive patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 706 stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer patients who underwent curative intent surgery at Henan Cancer Hospital from Sep 2015 to Sep 2018. Patients were categorized into node-positive (TDs +) and node-negative (TDs -) groups based on their cancer node status. Clinical-pathological characteristics and recurrence patterns were compared between the groups to formulate an optimized follow-up plan. Results:Among the patients, there were 112 TDs + and 594 TDs - cases. TDs - patients exhibited significantly better overall survival and disease-free survival rates at 1 and 3 years compared to the TDs + group (92.4%,72.2% vs. 79.4%,38.8%;87.9%,68.6% vs. 66.7%,35.9%, all P<0.05). The cumulative recurrence rates of peritoneal and distant metastases were higher in TDs + patients compared to TDs - patients, with statistical significance (33.0% vs. 14.5%,21.4% vs. 10.8%, χ 2=21.285,8.851 all P<0.05). TDs + patients experienced significantly earlier median time to distant metastasis compared to TDs - patients (9.0 months vs. 15.4 months , Z=-2.294 P=0.022). The risk of peritoneal metastasis recurrence was higher in the TDs + group, showing a bimodal recurrence pattern at 8.5 and 15.0 months post-surgery. TDs + patients also had a higher risk of distant metastasis recurrence, with a single peak at 6 months. Conclusion:Postoperative recurrence patterns differ between TDs + and TDs - patients, and an optimized follow-up plan can enhance early detection of recurrence.
