Objective To evaluate safety and clinical effect of Ommaya reservoir combined with external ventricular drainage for intraventricular hematoma(IVH),and to analyze the effects on neurological recovery,blood-brain-barrier(BBB)protection and the incidence of complications.Methods A total of 100 patients admitted to Yichun People's Hospital of Jiangxi Province for IVH and underwent surgical treatment from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects.Using a random number table,the patients were divided into control group(n=50)and treatment group(n=50).The treatment group received Ommaya reservoiv combined with external ventricular drainage,while the control group received conventional external ventricular drainage.The postoperative improvement rate,neurological recovery,BBB index,S100 calcium binding protein beta(neural)(S100β),myelin basic protein(MBP)levels,and hematoma clearance rate were compared between two groups.The incidence of complications in both groups was monitored over a 24-month follow-up period.Results At 3d,7d,and 14d post-surgery,the hematoma clearance rate in treatment group was higher than that in control group.At 3,12,and 24 months post-surgery,the patients of treatment group showed a higher improvement rate then that of control group,with better performance in National Institutes of Health stroke scale and Canadian stroke scale scores for neurological recovery,all differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).During follow-ups at 1,3,12,and 24 months post-surgery,the BBB index,S100β,and MBP levels in treatment group were all lower than those in the control group,with all differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).At 24 months post-surgery,the patients of treatment group had a lower incidence of complications than that of control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ommaya reservoir combined with exteral ventricular drainage can significantly improve neurological function,protect the BBB,and show good long-term efficacy in follow-up.

Objective:To analyze the applied effect of artificial intelligence(AI)rehabilitation system combined with telemedicine platform in individualized rehabilitation treatment for patients with long-term coma,so as to realize individual management for them.Methods:An AI rehabilitation system that aimed to patients with long-term coma was designed by integrating data of multimodal sensors included inertial sensor,image sensor and bioelectric sensor.A telemedicine platform,which included seven modules(patient management,consultation management,video communication,data transmission,electronic medical records,cost management and system maintenance),was designed by using a browser/server(B/S)architecture.The changes of patients'condition were followed up,and the full process of the management for rehabilitation treatment and the individualization of treatment plan were realized.A total of 60 inpatients whose coma duration exceeded 28 days were selected from the Coma Awakening Center of Dongguan Shipai Hospital between October 1,2021 and September 30,2022.They were randomly divided into control group(n=30)and observation group(n=30)by random number table.The control group received physical therapy and rehabilitation training based on evaluation results of rehabilitation,while the observation group adopted AI rehabilitation system combined with the telemedicine platform to conduct intervention.The consciousness levels,quality of life,hospital stay duration and treatment costs of two group were compared after intervention.Results:The Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)scores,Coma Recovery Scale-Revised(CRS-R)scores,and Persistent Vegetative State(PVS)scores of two groups after intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention,and these indicators of observation group were significantly higher than them of control group after intervention,and the differences were significant(t=7.187,15.586,9.293,P<0.05),respectively.There were not significant differences in Glasgow Outcome Scale(GOS)scores and Activities of Daily Living(ADL)scores between two groups before intervention(P>0.05),and these scores of two groups were significantly increased after intervention,and these scores of observation group were significantly higher than them of control group after intervention,and the differences were significant(t=7.584,6.755,P<0.05).Additionally,the hospital stay duration and treatment costs of observation group were significantly less than those of control group,and the differences were significant(t=20.965,9.503,P<0.05).Conclusion:The intervention of AI rehabilitation system combines with a telemedicine platform on patients with long-term coma can enhance GCS,CRS-R,PVS,GOS and ADL scores,and reduce hospital stay duration and treatment cost.

There is significant inter-individual variation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacody-namics in patients receiving tacrolimus(TAC)for an-ti-rejection therapy,which cause the rejection or toxic action.Based on results of therapeutic drug monitoring and pathophysiological index of trans-plant patients,the individualized dosing regimen can be designed and adjusted by using model in-formed precision dosing(MIPD).The patients'clini-cal outcome can be improved.In the consensus,the different methods of MIPD used for patients re-ceived TAC for anti-rejection therapy were intro-duced,which can be used for the designing and ad-justing doing regimen,predicting adverse drug reac-tion,improving medication adherence and econom-ics during therapy.

Objectives:To compare the efficacy and imaging parameters of lateral lumbar interbody fusion(LLIF)combined with anterolateral screw fixation(AF)or bilateral pedicle screw fixation(BPSF)in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease(LDD).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 100 patients with single-segment LDD who underwent LLIF-AF or LLIF-BPSF treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between December 2019 and December 2021.The patients were divided into the AF group(50 cases)and the BPSF group(50 cases).There was no statistical difference in the general informa-tion such as gender,age,and body mass index(BMI)between the two groups(P＞0.05).The perioperative data(length of hospital stay,operative time,intraoperative blood loss);Pre-operative,postoperative 7d,postoperative 6 months' visual analog scale(VAS)scores for low back and leg pain,Oswestry disablity index(ODI),imaging parameters such as disc height(DH),foraminal height(FH),cross-sectional area(CSA),as well as surgical complications were collected and analyzed,and the risk factors for intervertebral subsidence and non-fusion of fusion device were explored.Results:AF group was better than BPSF group in operative time,intraoperative blood loss,and hospital stay[125.0±26.6min vs 221.6±52.2min,25.0mL(20.0-50.0mL)vs 100.0mL(90.0-150.0mL),12.5±4.8d vs 14.9±4.6d],and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).For the low back and leg pain VAS scores and ODI,as well as DH,FH,and CSA,the postoperative 7d and 6 months'values were signiticantly improved than before operation in both groups(P＜0.05),while no statistically significant differences were found between groups at the same time points(P＞0.05).Intervertebral subsidence occurred in 12 patients in each group,and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.There were statistically significant differences in BMI and QCT between the AF and BPSF groups of patients with subsidence of the intervertebral space and those without subsidence at 6 months after operation;There were statistically significant differences in QCT between the two groups of patients with non-fusion and fusion of the fusion device;BMI≥28kg/m2 and QCT＜80mg/cm3 were the independent risk factors for intervertebral subsidence in AF group,but not in the BPSF group;QCT＜80mg/cm3 was the independent risk facors for non-fusion of fusion device in both AF and BPSF groups.Conclusions:LLIF combined with AF or BPSF are both reliable methods for treating LDD.For patients with a high body weight of BMI≥28kg/m2 or decreased bone density of QCT＜80mg/cm3,BPSF internal fixation can provide stronger mechanical stability to the spine,reducing the incidence of postoperative disc space collapse or fusion device non-union;On the contrary,AF internal fixation has shorter operative time and hospital stay,less intraoperative blood loss,which can be considered as a priority.

Objective To investigate the effect of splenectomy on the repair of full-thickness skin tissue defects,as well as the impact of different recovery times after splenectomy on the healing of skin tissue defects.Methods According to a random number table,39 8-week-old female C57 mice were randomly divided into three groups:sham surgery group(sham group,n=13),splenectomy group with 3 days of recovery(Spx3d group,n=13),and splenectomy group with 3 weeks of recovery(Spx3w group,n=13).Full-thickness skin defects were created on the backs of the mice in each group.The wound healing conditions at different times after skin defects were observed,and the wound healing rates after the injury were calculated.Peripheral blood cell analysis was performed on day 14 after the defect,and tissue samples from the wound area were taken for hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining to observe the granulation tissue thickness at the defect site and the re-epithelialization rate.Masson's trichrome staining was used to observe the proportion of collagen fibers.Results After splenectomy and sham surgery,the mice recovered well without significant discomfort.From 1 to 14 days after the skin defect modeling,the wound areas of the mice in all three groups gradually decreased.Compared with sham group,the wound areas were smaller in Spx3d and Spx3w groups at 3,5 and 7 days after the injury,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The wound healing rates were also significantly higher(P<0.05).Moreover,at 3 days and 5 days after the injury,the wound healing rates of Spx3d group were significantly higher than those of Spx3w group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The peripheral blood white blood cell(WBC)count in Spx3w group was significantly higher than that in sham group and Spx3d group(P<0.01).The platelet counts in both sham group and Spx3w group were significantly higher than that in Spx3d group(P<0.05).Additionally,the lymphocyte and neutrophil counts in Spx3w group were markedly higher than those in sham group(P<0.05).No statistically significant differences in red blood cell(RBC)counts were observed among the three groups(P>0.05).HE staining results showed that compared with sham group,the wound healing of the mice in Spx3d and Spx3w groups were better,and the thickness of the granulation tissue in Spx3d group were better than that in Spx3w group.At 7 days,the thickness of the granulation tissue in Spx3d and Spx3w groups was significantly higher than that in sham group(P<0.01,P<0.05)and the re-epithelialization rate in Spx3d group was significantly higher than that in sham group and Spx3w group(P<0.05).At 14 days,the re-epithelialization rates of Spx3d and Spx3w groups were significantly higher than those of sham group(P<0.05).The results of Masson's staining showed that the collagen fiber proportion in the wounds of Spx3d group at 7 and 14 days and that of Spx3w group at 14 days were significantly higher than that in sham group(P<0.05).Conclusion The healing of skin defects in mice is accelerated after splenectomy,and the recovery time after splenectomy has a certain effect on the healing of skin defects.
