Objective To investigate the effectiveness of real-time tracking and virtual reality technology(RTVI)used to assist the intraoperative alignment of the trauma orthopaedic surgery robot for the treatment of femoral neck fractures and its impact on the treatment outcome.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 patients with femoral neck fractures treated with trauma orthopedic robotic surgery from September 2020 to September 2022.Patients were divided into two groups according to whether RTVI technology was used during surgery to assist robotic surgery.There were 28 patients in the RTVI group(12 males and 16 females),with an average age of(46.2±9.3)years old ranging from 28 to 60 years old.There were 32 patients in the simple Tianji surgical robot group,including 15 males and 17 females,aged(48.2±7.8)years old ranging from 32 to 58.The number of registered fluoroscopy,operation time,total number of intraoperative fluoroscopy,intraoperative blood loss,and hospitalization time of the two groups of patients were observed and recorded.All patients received regular follow-up after surgery,and hip X-rays were routinely reviewed to record Garden alignment index,fracture healing time,postoperative complications,and Harris score.Results All 60 patients were followed up.The RTVI group was followed up for 9 to 16 months with an average of(13.0±l.2)months,and the Tianji surgical robot group alone was followed up for 10 to 14 months with an average of(12.0±1.3)months.During the follow-up period,the femoral neck fractures of both groups of patients healed well,and no complications such as internal fixation loosening and incision infection occurred.The number of registered fluoroscopy,operation time,and number of intraoperative fluoroscopy of patients in the RTVI group were significantly better than those in the simple Tianji surgical robot group(P＜0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,Garden alignment index,fracture healing time,and hip Harris score between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Although RTVI technology assisted by the surgical robot for femoral neck fracture surgery has little impact on its postoperative outcome,it can effectively reduce the operating time,the number of intraoperative X-ray projections,and the risk of intraopera-tive radiation exposure to patients.It also shortened the learning curve of the operator and better reflected the precision and ef-ficiency of the trauma orthopaedic surgery robot.

Objective:To investigate the effect of microgravity-mediated Notch1 signaling on macrophage polarization on bone homeostasis.Methods:The animal model was constructed by tail-limb suspension(HLS)to simulate the microgravity environment.The animals were grouped into Control group,HLS group,HLS+NC group,HLS+si group,HLS+rhNF-κB group.ELISA was used to detect the content of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum of rats.TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis of bone tissue.Immunofluo-rescence was used to detect the polarization of macrophages in bone tissue.The rat osteoblast CP-R091 microgravity model was con-structed by simulating the microgravity environment with a rotating wall bioreactor.The cell experiments were divided into Control group,HLS group,HLS+NC group,HLS+si group,HLS+rhNF-κB group.CCK-8 test was used to detect the proliferation activity of cells in each group,and AO test was used to test the apoptosis rate of cells in each group.PCR was used to detect the expression of os-teogenesis-related genes in bone tissues and cells.Western blot was used to detect the expression of Notch1,hair division-related en-hancer-1(HES-1),and Notch pathway ligand 1(Jagged1)in bone tissues and cells of each group.Results:Compared with control group,the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in the serum of the rats in the HLS group,the apoptosis rate,and the proportion of M1 macro-phages were significantly increased.Compared with HLS group,the HLS+si group could obviously partially reverse the change trend of the above parameters,while HLS+rhNF-κB group significantly changed the above parameter values.Compared with control group,the proliferation activity of the cells in the HLS group was significantly reduced,and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased.Com-pared with HLS group,the HLS+si group could obviously partially reverse the change trend of the above parameters,while the HLS+rhNF-κB group made the above parameter values worse.The expressions of the osteogenesis-related genes collagen type Ⅰ(COL1),osteocalcin(OCN)and Runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2)in bone tissues and cells in the microgravity environment were significantly decreased,while the expressions of Notch-1,Hes-1 and Jagged1 were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Microgravity-mediated Notch1 signaling regulates M1/M2 polarization of macro-phages,participates in cell proliferation and apoptosis in bone tissue,and affects the progress of bone homeostasis.

[Objective]To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of glucose transporter 4(GLUT4)of skeletal muscle in rats with type-2 diabetes mellitus,and to elucidate the mechanism of electroacupuncture on blood glucose regulation.[Methods]Twenty-four rats with type-2 diabetes were randomly divided into blank control group,exercise intervention group and electroacupuncture group,with 8 rats in each group.Rats in blank control group did normal activities.After 1 week of adaptation,rats in exercise intervention group began to run on the treadmill for 2 weeks.The rats in electroacupuncture group were adapted for 1 week,and then the electroacupuncture was placed at the Zhusanli acupoint on both sides with continuous wave stimulation for 2 weeks.Fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance index(IRI)were detected before and after the treatment,and the GLUT4 level of rat muscle cells was detected after the treatment.[Results]Compared with before intervention,the fasting blood glucose level of rats with type-2 diabetes in exercise intervention group and electroacupuncture group reduced significantly after intervention(P<0.001,P=0.028),and the IRI was reduced significantly(P<0.001,P<0.001).The differences of fasting blood glucose level and IRI were significant among the three groups after intervention(P<0.001).The difference of level of GLUT4 was also significant among the three groups after intervention(P<0.001).[Conclusion]Electroacupuncture stimulation can significantly decrease the level of blood glucose and IRI,and regulate the level of GLUT4 in skeletal muscle,which may be an important mechanism of regulation.

Objective To explore predictive value of modified STOP-BANG questionnaire(MSBQ)for hypoxemia during painless gastroscopy.Methods A total of 300 patients were selected as the study subjects who underwent painless gastroscopy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from October to December 2021.The MSBQ and STOP-BANG questionnaire(SBQ)were used for assessment before the examination,and patients were divided into high risk group(total score≥3 points)and low risk group(total score<3 points)according to their scores.The incidence of hypoxemia in high risk group and low risk group of the two scales was observed.The predictive value of MSBQ and SBQ for the risk of hypoxemia during painless gastroscopy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The incidence of hypoxemia in high risk group was significantly higher than that in low risk group(P<0.05).The sensitivity of MSBQ and SBQ to predict the occurrence of hypoxemia in painless gastroscopy was 81.01%and 83.54%,the specificity was 78.28%and 66.06%,and the area under the curve was 0.81 and 0.79,respectively.The prediction efficiency of MSBQ was better.Conclusion MSBQ has a high predictive value for the risk of hypoxemia in painless gastroscopy.

Objectives: To examine the influence of adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection on the survival of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC) and to identify patients who may benefit from it. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 654 patients with ICC diagnosed by postoperative pathology from December 2011 to December 2017 at 13 hospitals in China were collected retrospectively. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,455 patients were included in this study,including 69 patients (15.2%) who received adjuvant chemotherapy and 386 patients (84.8%) who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy. There were 278 males and 177 females,with age of 59 (16) years (M(IQR))(range:23 to 88 years). Propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to balance the difference between adjuvant chemotherapy group and non-adjuvant chemotherapy group. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curve,the Log-rank test was used to compare the difference of overall survival(OS) and recurrence free survival(RFS)between the two groups. Univariate analysis was used to determine prognostic factors for OS. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were then performed for prognostic factors with P<0.10 to identify potential independent risk factors. The study population were stratified by included study variables and the AJCC staging system,and a subgroup analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method to explore the potential benefit subgroup population of adjuvant chemotherapy. Results: After 1∶1 PSM matching,69 patients were obtained in each group. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). After PSM,Cox multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (HR=3.06,95%CI:1.52 to 6.16,P=0.039),width of resection margin (HR=0.56,95%CI:0.32 to 0.99,P=0.044) and adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.51,95%CI:0.29 to 0.91,P=0.022) were independent prognostic factors for OS. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the median OS time of adjuvant chemotherapy group was significantly longer than that of non-adjuvant chemotherapy group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in RFS time between the adjuvant chemotherapy group and the non-adjuvant chemotherapy group (P>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that,the OS of female patients,without HBV infection,carcinoembryonic antigen<9.6 μg/L,CA19-9≥200 U/ml,intraoperative bleeding<400 ml,tumor diameter>5 cm,microvascular invasion negative,without lymph node metastasis,and AJCC stage Ⅲ patients could benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Adjuvant chemotherapy can prolong the OS of patients with ICC after radical resection,and patients with tumor diameter>5 cm,without lymph node metastasis,AJCC stage Ⅲ,and microvascular invasion negative are more likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.
