Objective To investigate the impact of liraglutide on contrast-induced nephropathy(CIN)and prognosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM)after PCI.Methods A ret-rospective trial was conducted on 364 elderly T2DM patients undergoing PCI in Department of Cardiology of Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2021 to June 2022.According to whether lira-glutide was used in the past,they were divided into liraglutide group(n=145)and control group(n=219).Their general clinical data were collected in the two groups.Propensity score matching was used to adjust confounding factors and to assign the patients.After propensity score matc-hing,there were 220 patients finally included,with 110 in each group.The levels of serum creati-nine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),hyper-sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),Bax/BCL-2 and Caspase 9,and incidence of CIN were compared before and in 48 h after PCI be-tween the matched patients from the two groups.These patients were followed up for 18 months after discharge.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the effect of liraglutide on the occurrence of CIN.Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and Log rank test were applied to compare the differences in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)be-tween 2 groups.Results The levels of Scr,BUN,NGAL,hs-CRP,and MDA were significantly lower,and SOD level was obviously higher in the liraglutide group than the control group in 48 h after PCI(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The liraglutide group had notably lower incidence of CIN than the control group within 48 h after PCI(7.27％vs 16.36％,P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated liraglutide as an independent protective factor against CIN(OR=0.341,95％CI:0.128-0.906,P=0.031).During the median follow-up period of 14.75(12.60,16.33)months,a lower MACE occurrence rate was seen in the liraglutide group than the control group(log rank x2=5.656,P=0.017).Conclusion Liraglutide can reduce the incidences of CIN and MACE in elderly T2DM patients after PCI,which may be associated with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

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.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Objective:To explore the sex-based heterogeneity in demographic and pathological trends of lung cancer during the past 30 years.Methods:Patients with primary lung cancer who received surgical treatment in the Department of thoracic surgery, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital Tongji University from 1989 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The differences between male and female patients in age, smoking history, pathological stage and type were compared. Mann- Kendall trend test was performed for trend analysis. Results:A total of 58 433 patients were included in this study, encompassing 30 729(52.6%) men and 27 , 704(47.4%) women. Compared with male patients, female patients were younger(56.0 years old vs. 59.7 years old), and had a higher proportion of non-smokers(98.3% vs. 52.3%), stage Ⅰ lung cancers(60.6% vs. 49.3%), and adenocarcinoma(93.7% vs. 56.1%, all P-values <0.001). Trend analyses revealed that the proportion of female patients increased year by year, and surpassed males in 2015, with the current ratio of male to female being 1∶1.5. After 2013, the age of onset in females was getting younger, and the average age decreased from 58.7 years old to 54.7 years old( P=0.02). The decrease in the proportion of smoking patients was mainly reflected by male patients(from 68.5% to 31.1%, P<0.01). Stage Ⅰ lung cancers in male and females outnumbered advanced stage in 2012 and 2010, respectively, with a much higher proportion in female patients. Among male patients, adenocarcinoma has replaced squamous cell carcinoma as the most common pathological type since 2012, while in female patients adenocarcinoma remained the most common pathological type of lung cancer, and its proportion continued to increase reaching over 98%. Conclusion:A dramatic change in gender distribution was noticed during the past 30 years. Female patients became the primary population in surgically-treated lung cancers, with a trend of getting younger. The proportion of smokers and squamous cell carcinoma decreased significantly in male patients, and adenocarcinoma has become the most common pathological type of lung cancer. The proportion of stage Ⅰ lung cancers was on a dramatic rise, with the popularization of CT screening for lung cancer.

Objective:To elucidate the clinical characteristics of bloodstream infection in patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in our hospital and improves the survival of transplant patients with bloodstream infection.Methods:Two hundred and ten patients with allo-HSCT from the Department of Hematology were retrospectively analyzed between October 2014 and September 2019. Pathogen distribution, drug resistance, risk factors, and outcomes were investigated in 49 allo-HSCT patients with bloodstream infections.Results:Forty-nine of 210 patients with allo-HSCT had bloodstream infection, and 59 pathogenic microorganisms were identified, mainly Gram-negative bacteria (67.8%) , of which E. coli had the highest incidence (23.7%) , CRO accounted for 42.5%, and Grampositive bacteria accounted for 23.7% (without vancomycin or linezolid-resistant strain) . Additionally, fungi accounted for 8.5%. Univariate analysis suggested that the risk factors of bloodstream infection were gender, pretransplant disease status, and conditioning regimen. In contrast, multivariate analysis showed that bloodstream infection was mainly related to conditioning regimens. Further grouping results showed that 77.6% of patients with neutropenia had bloodstream infections, and 22.4% of patients with non-neutropenia had bloodstream infections; 81.0% of patients with active infections before transplantation had bloodstream infections, while bloodstream infection occurred in 16.9% of patients without active infection. Survival analysis showed that long-term survival of patients with bloodstream infection is shorter than that of patients without bloodstream infection and long-term survival of patients with CRO infection is shorter than that of patients without CRO infection. The survival of patients with neutropenia longer than 14 d is shorter than that of patients with neutropenia shorter than 14 d. Furthermore, there is no correlation between whether there is an active infection before transplantation and whether they are in a neutropenic state at the time of infection and survival.Conclusion:Our results suggest that effective prevention of bloodstream infections from drug-resistant bacteria, particularly CRO, shortening the duration of neutropenia, eradication of potential infections before transplantation, and patient-adaptive conditioning could reduce transplant-related mortality and improve prognosis.

Objective    To compare the clinical effects of segmentectomy and lobectomy for ≤2 cm lung adenocarcinoma with micropapillary and solid subtype negative by intraoperative frozen sections. Methods    The patients with adenocarcinoma who received segmentectomy or lobectomy in multicenter from June 2020 to March 2021 were included. They were divided into two groups according to a random number table, including a segmentectomy group (n=119, 44 males and 75 females with an average age of 56.6±8.9 years) and a lobectomy group (n=115, 43 males and 72 females with an average of 56.2±9.5 years). The clinical data of the patients were analyzed. Results    There was no significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). No perioperative death was found. There was no statistical difference in the operation time (111.2±30.0 min vs. 107.3±34.3 min), blood loss (54.2±83.5 mL vs. 40.0±16.4 mL), drainage duration (2.8±0.6 d vs. 2.6±0.6 d), hospital stay time (3.9±2.3 d vs. 3.7±1.1 d) or pathology staging (P>0.05) between the two groups. The postoperative pulmonary function analysis revealed that the mean decreased values of forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second percent predicted in the segmentectomy group were significantly better than those in the lobectomy group (0.2±0.3 L vs. 0.4±0.3 L, P=0.005; 0.3%±8.1% vs. 2.9%±7.4%, P=0.041). Conclusion    Segmentectomy is effective in protecting lungs function, which is expected to improve life quality of patients.

Objective:To study whether early leukocytosis after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) requires further workup to exclude infection by observing changes in peripheral blood white blood cell (WBC) count after TJA.Methods:This study included the 294 patients (infection-free group) who had undergone primary hip or knee TJA from June 2019 to June 2020 but reported no periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) within one month after surgery and the 31 patients (infection group) who had undergone the same TJA but reported infection within one month after surgery from May 2012 to June 2020 at Department of Joint Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital to Xinjiang Medical University. Peripheral blood WBC counts were measured and recorded before surgery and 1 to 5 days after surgery. Differences were compared between time points and multiple linear regression analysis was used to screen the factors associated with early postoperative leukocytosis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of WBC for early PJI.Results:The peripheral WBC level in the infection-free group showed a trend of increasing at first and then decreasing. It reached the peak on day 2 after surgery, increasing by 8.08×10 9/L±2.33×10 9/L compared to pre-surgery, and then began to decrease to a level slightly higher than the preoperative value on day 5 after surgery. The changes in WBC count in the first 2 days after surgery ranged from 6.24×10 9/L to 26.32×10 9/L. The incidence of leukocytosis in the first 5 days after surgery was 95.6% (281/294). The factors associated with postoperative leukocytosis included preoperative WBC count and bilateral surgery. For every increase of 1.00×10 9/L in preoperative WBC count, the postoperative WBC value increased by an average of 0.98×10 9/L [ β=0.984, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.821-1.148, P<0.001]. The postoperative WBC count in the patients undergoing bilateral surgery increased by an average of 1.03×10 9/L compared with that in the patients undergoing unilateral surgery ( β=1.026, 95% CI: 0.565-1.486, P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) for prediction of early PJI by absolute WBC count difference (the absolute difference between the maximum postoperative WBC value and the baseline) was 0.655 (95% CI: 0.546-0.764, P<0.05), providing a threshold of 7.96×10 9/L, a sensitivity of 57.5% and a specificity of 74.2%. Conclusions:Leukocytosis is a common phenomenon after TJA, indicating a normal physiological response to surgery. The preoperative WBC count is a predictor for postoperative leukocytosis. In the absence of abnormal clinical symptoms or signs, there is no need for further workup to check infection if the postoperative WBC does not deviate from its changing range and trend.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy combined with surgery for stage ⅢA NSCLC patients.Methods:Six patients with NSCLC who were diagnosed as ⅢA and received two cycles of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy and surgery between September 2019 and January 2020 were described in this study.Results:Five of them experienced AEs during neoadjuvant therapy. All of them received surgery and achieved an MPR of 50%. No viable tumor cells were found in the tissues of one patient. One patient with a small bronchopleural fistula after lobectomy.Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy combined with surgery for stage ⅢA NSCLC patients is safe and efficient. Long-term outcomes of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy combined with surgery should be further validated.

Objective: To explore the cross classification of tibial plateau fractures combined with avulsion fracture of medial femoral condyle. Methods: The 16 patients were retrospectively analysed as an observation group who had been treated at Department of Lower Limbs, Sichuan Orthopaedic Hospital for tibial plateau fracture and avulsion fracture of the medial condyle of the same femur from January 2015 to December 2018. They were 9 males and 7 females, aged from 27 to 78 years (average, 51.5 years). By the Schatzker classification, there were 2 cases of type Ⅰ, 8 cases of type Ⅱ, 3 cases of type Ⅲ and one case of type Ⅳ; by the cross classification, there were 10 cases of type Ⅰe, one case of type Ⅱe and 2 cases of type Ⅲe and 3 cases of type Ⅰv. The 332 patients were included as a control group who had been treated at the same department for simple tibial plateau fracture from January 2010 to December 2015. The imaging data of the 2 groups were compared to find out the charateristics of cross type distribution; the widened distance of the lateral tibial plateau, collapse depth of the tibial plateau, separation of avulsion fracture of medial femoral condyle, maximum clearance of the medial knee and eversion angle of the tibial plateau were investigated in the patients with cross types e and Ⅰv in the observation group. Results: In the observation group, the widened distance of the lateral tibial plateau averaged 7.18 mm, the collapse depth of the tibial plateau 8.74 mm, the separation of avulsion fracture of medial femoral condyle 3.44 mm, the maximum clearance of the medial knee 7.77 mm, and the eversion angle of the tibial plateau 87.03°. There was a significant difference in the cross type distribution of tibial plateau fractures between the 2 groups (P=0.002). In the observation group, the average widened distance of the lateral tibial platea for the 13 type e patients (8.49±4.26 mm)was significantly larger than that for the 3 type Ⅰv patients (1.51±2.11 mm) (t=2.706, P=0.017). Conclusion The cross classification of tibial plateau fractures with avulsion fracture of mediall condyle of the same femur may result mainly in types e and type Ⅰv. The widened distance of lateral tibial plateau helps distinction between types e and type Ⅰv.

Background and objective As computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer becomes more common in China, so too does detection of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs). Although anumber of national or international guidelines about pulmonary GGNs have been published,most of these guidelines are produced by respiratory, oncology or radiology physicians, who might not fully understand the progress of modern minimal invasive thoracic surgery, and these current guidelines may overlook or underestimate the value of thoracic surgery in the management of pulmonary GGNs. In addition, the management for pre-invasive adenocarcinoma is still controversial. Based onthe available literature and experience from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, we composed this consensus about diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary GGNs. For lesions which are considered as adenocarcinoma in situ, chest thin layer CT scan follow-up is recommended and resection can only be adopt in some specific cases and excision should not exceed single segment resection. For lesions which are considered as minimal invasive adenocarcinoma, limited pulmonary resection or lobectomy is recommended. For lesions which are considered as early stage invasive adenocarcinoma, pulmonary resection is recommend and optimal surgical methods depend on whether ground glass component exist, location, volume and number of the lesions and physical status of patients. Principle of management of multiple pulmonary nodules is that primary lesions should be handled with priority, with secondary lesions taking into account.
