OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of precise-guided temporary fixation assistive devices in assisting the main nail guide pin placement and precise temporary fixation in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation of femoral intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 60 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures over 65 years old who met the selection criteria between January 2020 and June 2022 and were treated with PFNA internal fixation. The patients were randomly divided into the trial group (auxiliary device guided main nail guide pin placement and temporary fixation) and the control group (conventional treatment), with 30 cases in each group. There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, cause of injury, time from injury to operation, fracture side, AO/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification, and combined medical diseases between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, times of main nail guide pin placement, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, intraoperative blood loss, and perioperative blood transfusion were recorded and compared between the two groups. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated by CHANG Shimin et al criteria. Harris score was used to evaluate the hip function at 1 year after operation. RESULTS: In the trial group, 2 temporary fixation needles were successfully placed 2-5 times, including 2 times in 13 cases (43.3%), 3 times in 8 cases (26.7%), 4 times in 7 cases (23.3%), and 5 times in 2 cases (6.7%). The operation time, times of main nail guide pin placement, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, and intraoperative blood loss in the trial group were significantly less than those in the control group, and the reduction quality score was significantly better than that in the control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in perioperative blood transfusion between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up 12-19 months (mean, 15 months). There was no complication such as incision infection, deep vein thrombosis, or internal fixation loosening. At 1 year after operation, the Harris score of the affected hip joint in the trial group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION The technique of main nail guide pin placement and temporary fixation under the guidance of auxiliary devices in PFNA internal fixation can achieve faster insertion of the main nail guide pin, accurate temporary fixation to maintain reduction, and avoid the subsequent operation space, so as to improve the effectiveness.

Objective To develop a graded early mobility implementation pathway for critically ill adult patients in tertiary hospitals in Beijing and to preliminarily validate its feasibility and effectiveness.Methods Based on the"goal-directed"early mobility concept,a graded early mobility implementation pathway for critically ill patients was developed through evidence synthesis and the Delphi method,consisting of 3 components:patient inclusion,mobility implementation,and mobility evaluation.Using convenience sampling,patients meeting inclusion criteria in the general ICU of a tertiary hospital in Beijing from October 2024 to January 2025 were selected as participants.Among them,25 patients admitted from December 2024 to January 2025 were assigned to an experimental group and received early mobility interventions following the developed pathway.25 patients admitted from October to November 2024 served as a control group and received routine ICU mobility care.Outcomes including diaphragm excursion,muscle strength,ICU length of stay,and adverse events were compared between the 2 groups.Results The graded early mobility pathway achieved an implementation rate of 70.05％in the experimental group,significantly higher than it in the control group(P＜0.001),without increasing adverse events.Post-intervention diaphragm excursion in the experimental group was significantly greater than that in the control group(P=0.018).Conclusion The developed graded early mobility implementation pathway for ICU patients demonstrates scientific rigor and clinical practicality.It provides a reference for the widespread and effective implementation of early mobility in ICUs,standardizing its clinical application.

Objective:This study aims to explore the independent and interactive effects of childhood trauma (CT) and major depressive disorder (MDD) on amygdala subregion volumes and to examine whether volumetric changes in these subregions mediate the relationship between CT and depressive severity.Methods:A total of 129 MDD patients and 127 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited from Nanjing Brain Hospital between October 2022 and November 2024. All participants underwent 3D-T 1 weighted MRI scans,and amygdala subregions were segmented using the FreeSurfer software. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed with the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD 17) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA),respectively. Childhood trauma exposure was evaluated via the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Generalized linear models (GLM) were applied to analyze the main and interactive effects of MDD diagnosis (depression/healthy controls) and CT (presence/absence),adjusting for age,estimated intracranial volume,sex,medication history,and education years. Partial correlation and mediation analyses were conducted to explore associations between amygdala subregion volumes and clinical measures in MDD patients. Results:MDD diagnosis was independently associated with increased volumes in the right central nucleus ( Wald χ2=9.09, P=0.026) and medial nucleus ( Wald χ2=10.08, P=0.026). CT exposure was independently associated with reduced volumes in the right central nucleus ( Wald χ2=7.99, P=0.047) and medial nucleus ( Wald χ2=9.20, P=0.047). No significant interaction effects between MDD and CT were observed in any amygdala subregion. Mediation analysis revealed that reduced right medial nucleus volume partially mediated the relationship between total CTQ scores and depressive severity (proportion mediated: 26.69%,95% CI=0.002-0.060) and mediated the association between emotional neglect and depressive severity (proportion mediated: 26.75%,95% CI=0.006-0.150). Such mediating effects were not found for the right central nucleus. Conclusion:CT and MDD exhibit divergent patterns of influence on amygdala subregions. CT is linked to volumetric reductions,whereas MDD is associated with volumetric enlargement. Reduced volume of the right medial nucleus mediates the relationship between CT and depression severity.

Objective To evaluate the advantages of a real-time computer endoscopy-assisted system(EndoAngel)for colorectal lesions detection in colonoscopy.Methods 2 000 patients who underwent EndoAngel assisted colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy were selected for the study in a single-center,self-controlled study.According to different examination methods,the patients were divided into artificial intelligence(AI)group and traditional colonoscopy group,each with 1 000 cases.The results were statistically analyzed and compared with the polyp detection rate and adenoma detection rate of the two groups using pathological diagnosis as the gold standard.Further subgroup analysis will be conducted based on the seniority of the operating physicians.Results AI group's polyp detection rate was higher(39.3％)than conventional colonoscopy group polyp detection rate(29.0％),with statistically significant difference(x2=23.59,P=0.000).Of these,the detection rates of hyperplastic polyps and adenomatous polyps were 19.1％and 25.2％,which were significantly higher than those of 12.4％and 20.8％in the conventional colonoscopy group,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=16.92,P=0.000;x2=5.46,P=0.019).Further subgroup analysis of the two groups by physician seniority,the polyp detection rate of AI low seniority group(36.6％)was higher than that of conventional colonoscopy low seniority group(20.40％),with a statistically significant difference(x2=32.20,P=0.000).Among them,the detection rates of hyperplastic polyp(17.8％)and adenomatous polyp(23.6％)in AI low seniority group were higher than those in the conventional colonoscopy low seniority group(12.8％vs 13.6％),and the differences were significant(x2=4.82,P=0.028;x2=16.51,P=0.000).There were no significant differences in adenomatous polyp detection rates between the two groups of senior physicians.Conclusion EndoAngel assisted system can improve the polyp detection rate of colonoscopy,especially for the effect of low seniority physicians is more significant.

Objective:To optimize the smart follow-up workflow for day-case breast surgery patients using an action research approach and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:A total of 648 post-discharge patients who underwent day-case breast surgery at the Day Surgery Unit of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between February and May 2024 were selected by convenience sampling. Patients who received routine smart follow-up (automated+telephone) from February to March 2024 served as the baseline group. Patients enrolled in April 2024 ( n=218) and May 2024 ( n=202) formed the first and second cycle groups, respectively, in which the smart follow-up workflow was optimized iteratively using action research. Outcome indicators included automated recovery rate and total recovery rate of follow-up forms, as well as the incidence of postoperative discomfort symptoms. Results:The automated and total recovery rates of follow-up forms in the first and second cycle groups were significantly higher than those in the baseline group, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01). The proportion of patients experiencing persistent chest distress was significantly lower in the first and second cycle groups compared to the baseline group, and further reduced in the second cycle group compared to the first, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01). Pain levels in the first and second cycle groups were also significantly lower than those in the baseline group, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Optimizing the smart follow-up workflow for day-case breast surgery patients based on an action research approach can significantly improve the automated and overall recovery rates of follow-up forms, reduce postoperative discomfort, and enhance both the efficiency and quality of follow-up care.

Malignant tumors in children are one of the most important diseases that threaten the health and quality of life of children and are the second most common cause of death in children.With the continuous improvement and progress of treatment technology, the long-term survival rate of children with tumor has been significantly improved, but both the disease itself and the treatment can impair the immune function of children, which makes them vulnerable to various infectious diseases and secondary serious complications, and even become a source of infection, endangering the health of others. Vaccination is the most cost-effective measure to prevent infectious diseases. For children with normal immune functions, the benefits of vaccination usually outweigh the disadvantages. However, there is a lack of detailed data on the vaccination situation, efficacy and safety of vaccine use for such immunocompromised tumor survivors, and there are no authoritative and uniform vaccination recommendations. This article reviewed and summarized the literature and consensus of some domestic and foreign scholars on current status of post-treatment vaccination status, efficacy and safety of vaccination for children with tumors after treatment, with the aim of providing a reference for the practice in this field in China.
