For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma(PHCC)has an insidious onset,is highly aggressive,and carries a poor prognosis.Radical surgical resection is crucial for improving patient survival.Due to the complex anatomy of the hepatic hilum,conventional laparoscopic surgery faces numerous challenges.In recent years,robotic surgery has shown significant potential in PHCC procedures,owing to its high-definition naked-eye 3D visualization,precise maneuvers,and superior dexterity.However,its widespread adoption remains limited by high costs,restricted intraoperative working space,and the absence of tactile feedback.Drawing on international research progress and our own clinical experience,this article analyzes optimization strategies including assessment of local tumor involvement,rational trocar placement,lymphatic and neural plexus dissection,determination of the extent of hepatectomy,vascular resection and reconstruction,bile duct reconstruction,and choledochojejunostomy.The aim is to explore approaches to overcoming these challenges and breaking through existing limitations,thereby providing new strategies and technical pathways for precise minimally invasive treatment of PHCC.

Objective To investigate the current status of liver and gallbladder diseases and analyze the influencing factors of fatty liver based on the ultrasound examination results of officers and soldiers on a certain island.Methods The data of physical examination from 377 officers and soldiers on a certain island in 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Age,gender,living habits,abdominal ultrasound results,and liver function test results were collected,and the incidence of liver and gallbladder diseases were investigated.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen the influencing factors of fatty liver disease.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of influencing factors for fatty liver disease.Results A total of 103 officers and soldiers were diagnosed with liver and gallbladder diseases.The top three were fatty liver(63.11%,65/103),gallbladder polyps(19.42%,20/103),and liver hemangioma(8.74%,9/103),accounting for 91.27%(94/103)of the subjects with liver and gallbladder diseases and 24.93%(94/377)of all the subjects undergoing physical examination.There were significant differences in the age,body mass index(BMI),the habit of mid night snacks,liver function indexes(alanine aminotransferase[ALT],aspartate aminotransferase[AST],total bilirubin[T-Bil],direct bilirubin[D-Bil],gamma-glutamyltransferase[γ-GT]),glucose(Glu),and triglyceride(TG)between the officers and soldiers with fatty liver(65 cases)and without fatty liver(312 cases)(all P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ALT,Glu,TG,BMI and the habit of midnight snacks were independent influencing factors of fatty liver(all P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve values of ALT,Glu,TG,BMI,the habit of midnight snacks and their combination in prediction of fatty liver were 0.776,0.621,0.764,0.828,0.637 and 0.866,respectively.Conclusion There is a high prevalence of fatty liver in officers and soldiers on a certain island(17.24%,65/377).ALT,Glu,TG,BMI and the habit of midnight snack can be used as a combined diagnostic model of fatty liver.The diet,exercise and training methods should be systematically and comprehensively managed to control related risk factors.Risk factor intervention and treatment should be carried out for high-risk population to effectively improve the physical and mental health of officers and soldiers on the island.

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.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects of the national centralized drug procurement （NCDP） policy on drug availability and the structure of drug use in public hospitals. METHODS Using hypoglycemic， lipid-lowering， antiviral drugs， and psychiatric drugs for the treatment of mental illness and depression as objects， the interrupted time series model was used to quantitatively evaluate the changes in consumption sum of drugs， consumption amount and daily cost of the target drugs in national sample hospitals as well as the changes in per capita medication frequency， outpatient prescription amount， and medical insurance surplus of target drugs in a third grade class A hospital before and after the implementation of NCDP policy. RESULTS After the implementation of the NCDP policy， the volume for the four bid-winning drugs increased significantly （P＜0.01 for the remaining three categories except for hypoglycemic drugs）， but DDDc （P＜0.01） and the amount of related drugs （P＜0.001） decreased significantly. The volume for the non-winning drugs （except for lipid-lowering drugs） decreased significantly （P＜0.05）， and DDDc also decreased significantly （P＜0.05 for other 3 categories except for psychiatric drugs）； the volume （P＜0.01） and DDDc （P＜0.01 only for psychiatric drugs） for alternative drugs all increased except for antiviral drugs. The structure of drug use for different drugs was affected differently by the NCDP policy，and that of hypoglycemic drugs was affected obviously； the proportion of alternative drugs increased after centralized procurement. The outpatient prescription amount of each hospital significantly decreased after centralized procurement，and the decrease in the cost paid by the patients using lipid-lowering and antiviral drugs related to centralized procurement was greater than 0.60； the remaining medical insurance amount for bid-winning drugs was approximately 1.252 5 million yuan. CONCLUSIONS NCDP policy effectively alleviates the burden of medical expenditure and also drives the structure changes of drug use such as the substitution of generic drugs for original drugs， the growth of the volume of alternative drugs.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec and insulin glargine U100 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. The subjects were patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were hospitalized in 13 3A-level general hospitals in Shandong Province from September 2018 to December 2021. According to the type of basal insulin used, the patients were divided into insulin degludec group and insulin glargine U100 group. The basic information and laboratory test results in patients in the 2 groups were collected, the differences of fasting blood glucose level and incidence of hypoglycemia between the 2 groups were compared. The patients with complete blood glucose monitoring data in the 2 groups were selected and their blood glucose fluctuations were compared.Results:A total of 1 152 patients were entered in the study, including 552 patients in the insulin degludec group and 600 patients in the insulin glargine U100 group. The difference in the basic conditions in patients in the 2 groups was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). After treatment, the fasting blood glucose levels in patients in the 2 groups were lower than those before treatment, with statistically significant differences [10.2 (8.8, 12.5) mmol/L vs. 7.5 (6.6, 8.7) mmol/L, Z=-19.443, P<0.001; 10.0 (8.6, 11.7) mmol/L vs. 7.8 (6.6, 9.0) mmol/L, Z=-15.449, P<0.001], but the difference in fasting blood glucose levels between the 2 groups after treatment was not statistically significant ( Z=-1.427, P>0.05). The incidence of hypoglycemia in the insulin degludec group was lower than that in the insulin glargine U100 group [1.09% (6/552) vs. 2.83% (17/600), Z=4.481, P=0.032]. The intraday blood glucose standard deviation, maximum blood glucose fluctuation range, postprandial blood glucose fluctuation range, and average blood glucose fluctuation range in patients with complete blood glucose monitoring data in the insulin degludec group were significantly lower than those in the insulin glargine U100 group [(1.7±0.6) mmol/L vs. (2.4±1.0) mmol/L, (4.5±1.6) mmol/L vs. (6.7±2.9) mmol/L, (1.8±1.0) mmol/L vs. (3.3±1.2) mmol/L, (2.9±1.3) mmol/L vs. (4.6±2.1) mmol/L; all P<0.001]. Conclusion:The efficacy of insulin degludec in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is equivalent to that of insulin glargine U100, but the risk of hypoglycemia and blood glucose fluctuation is lower.
