Acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of the common complications of sepsis syndrome, belonging to the "Chuan syndrome", "Baochuan", and "Chuantuo" in the TCM field, and the disease is mainly located in the lung. The main etiology and pathogenesis of sepsis syndrome is deficient healthy qi and blood stasis with toxin blocking collaterals. Blood stasis and toxin invade the lung, causing heat and toxin to burn the body fluid in the blood. Blood viscosity and poor circulation lead to the accumulation of blood stasis and toxin in the lung. Acute deficiency syndrome, heat toxin damaging qi, heat toxin burning body fluid deficiency with little ability to dissipate qi, resulting in deficiency of healthy qi, inability to regulate breathing, inability to consolidate body fluid, inability to promote blood circulation, causing phlegm, dampness, and blood stasis blocking the lung. This disease is characterized by blood stasis with toxin blocking collaterals, deficient lung qi, and obstruction of lung qi caused by phlegm, water, dampness, and blood stasis. Therefore, blood stasis with toxin blocking collaterals, as well as deficient healthy qi are TCM pathogenesis of ARDS with sepsis syndrome.

Objective:To analyze the X-ray imaging characteristics of calcaneus in adult patients with osteoarticular diseases and its impact on disease diagnosis.Methods:Totally 78 patients (156 ankle joints) with osteoarticular diseases admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from June 2019 to June 2022 were selected as research subjects, including 72 cases of osteoarthritis and 6 cases of Kashin-Beck disease. Another 50 volunteers who underwent health examination in this hospital during the same period were selected as control group, all of them underwent calcaneal X-ray examination. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of calcaneal X-ray parameters in predicting adult osteoarticular diseases.Results:Among 72 patients with osteoarthritis, 63 cases (87.50%) showed joint surface sclerosis in the calcaneal X-ray changes. Forty-seven cases (65.28%) had narrowing of the subtalar joint space; 14 cases showed disappearance of the subtalar joint space, accounting for 19.44%. Among the 6 patients with Kashin-Beck disease, the X-ray changes of the calcaneus showed joint surface sclerosis in 6 cases, narrowing of the subtalar joint space in 4 cases, and disappearance of the subtalar joint space in 2 cases. The length, height, Bohler angle, Gissane angle, and inclination angle of the calcaneus in patients with Kashin-Beck disease were all smaller than those in the osteoarthritis group and the control group, the height to length ratio of the calcaneus was higher than that in the osteoarthritis group and the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The length, height, Bohler angle, Gissane angle, and inclination angle of the calcaneus in patients of the osteoarthritis group were all smaller than those in the control group, and the height to length ratio of the calcaneus was higher than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity of Bohler angle, Gissane angle, and the height to length ratio of the calcaneus in predicting osteoarticular diseases (72 patients with osteoarthritis) were 92.5%, 87.6% and 80.4%, respectively, with specificity of 73.0%, 68.8% and 63.1%, respectively. Conclusion:The calcaneal X-ray manifestations of adult patients with osteoarticular diseases vary greatly, among which Bohler angle, Gissane angle, and height to length ratio of the calcaneus have certain accuracy in diagnosis of osteoarthritis.

Spinal surgical site infection (SSI), especially deep SSI after internal fixation is difficult in treatment, with long course of disease and poor prognosis. At present, there are many controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI, with unsatisfactory overall efficacy of its diagnosis and treatment. Besides, no diagnosis and treatment guideline based on evidence-based medicine has been in existence. To this end, the Spinal Infection Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Spinal Infection Group of the Spinal Surgery Branch of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medicine Association jointly organized relevant experts to formulate Evidence-based clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of surgical site infection in spinal trauma ( version 2024) based on an evidence-based approach. A total of 10 recommendations were proposed on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI, so as to provide a clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness and advantages of using Fastpass Scorpion suture passer to stitch the inferior capsulolabral complex in arthroscopic Bankart repair compared with traditional arthroscopic suture shuttle. METHODS: The clinical data of 41 patients with Bankart lesion, who met the selection criteria and were admitted between August 2019 and October 2021, was retrospectively analyzed. Under arthroscopy, the inferior capsulolabral complex was stitched with Fastpass Scorpion suture passer in 27 patients (FS group) and with arthroscopic suture shuttle in 14 patients (ASS group). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in gender, age, injured side, frequency of shoulder dislocation, time from first dislocation to operation, and preoperative Rowe score of shoulder. Taking successful suture and pull-tightening as the criteria for completion of repair, the number of patients that were repaired at 5∶00 to 6∶00 (<6:00) and 6∶00 to 7∶00 positions of the glenoid in the two groups was compared. The operation time, and the difference of Rowe shoulder score betwee pre- and post-operation, the occurrence of shoulder joint dislocation, the results of apprehension test, and the constituent ratio of recovery to the pre-injury movement level between the two groups at 1 year after operation. RESULTS: Both groups completed the repair at 5∶00 to 6∶00 (<6∶00), and the constituent ratio of patients completed at 6∶00 to 7∶00 was significantly greater in the FS group than in the ASS group ( P<0.05). The operation time was significantly shorter in the FS group than in the ASS group ( P<0.05). All incisions in the two groups healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 12-36 months (mean, 19.1 months). No anchor displacement or neurovascular injury occurred during follow-up. Rowe score of shoulder in the two groups significantly improved at 1 year after operation than preoperative scores ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the difference of Rowe shoulder score between pre- and post-operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, no re-dislocation occurred, and there was no significant difference in the apprehension test and the constituent ratio of recovery to the pre-injury movement level between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with the arthroscopic suture shuttle, using Fastpass Scorpion suture passer to stitch the inferior capsulolabral complex in arthroscopic Bankart repair is more convenient, saves operation time, and has good effectiveness.

Objective:To evaluate the safety of double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis in radical gastrectomy.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, single-arm study was initiated by the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2021 (CRAFT Study, NCT05282563). Participating institutions included Nanyang Central Hospital, Zhumadian Central Hospital, Luoyang Central Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Polytechnic University, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University, Luohe Central Hospital, the People's Hospital of Hebi, First People's Hospital of Shangqiu, Anyang Tumor Hospital, First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan, and Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) gastric adenocarcinoma confirmed by preoperative gastroscopy;(2) preoperative imaging assessment indicated that R0 resection was feasible; (3) preoperative assessment showed no contraindications to surgery;(4) esophagojejunostomy planned during the procedure; (5) patients volunteered to participate in this study and gave their written informed consent; (6) ECOG score 0–1; and (7) ASA score I–III. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) history of upper abdominal surgery (except laparoscopic cholecystectomy);(2) history of gastric surgery (except endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection); (3) pregnancy or lactation;(4) emergency surgery for gastric cancer-related complications (perforation, hemorrhage, obstruction); (5) other malignant tumors within 5 years or coexisting malignant tumors;(6) arterial embolism within 6 months, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident; and (7) comorbidities or mental health abnormalities that could affect patients' participation in the study. Patients were eliminated from the study if: (1) radical gastrectomy could not be completed; (2) end-to-side esophagojejunal anastomosis was not performed during the procedure; or (3) esophagojejunal anastomosis reinforcement was not possible. Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis was performed as follows: (1) Open surgery: the full thickness of the anastomosis is continuously sutured, followed by embedding the seromuscular layer with barbed or 3-0 absorbable sutures. The anastomosis is sutured with an average of six to eight stitches. (2) Laparoscopic surgery: the anastomosis is strengthened by counterclockwise full-layer sutures. Once the anastomosis has been sutured to the right posterior aspect of the anastomosis, the jejunum stump is pulled to the right and the anastomosis turned over to continue to complete reinforcement of the posterior wall. The suture interval is approximately 5 mm. After completing the full-thickness suture, the anastomosis is embedded in the seromuscular layer. Relevant data of patients who had undergone radical gastrectomy in the above 12 centers from June 2021 were collected and analyzed. The primary outcome was safety (e.g., postoperative complications, and treatment). Other studied variables included details of surgery (e.g., surgery time, intraoperative bleeding), postoperative recovery (postoperative time to passing flatus and oral intake, length of hospital stay), and follow-up conditions (quality of life as assessed by Visick scores).Result:[1] From June 2021 to September 2022,457 patients were enrolled, including 355 men and 102 women of median age 60.8±10.1 years and BMI 23.7±3.2 kg/m2. The tumors were located in the upper stomach in 294 patients, mid stomach in 139; and lower stomach in 24. The surgical procedures comprised 48 proximal gastrectomies and 409 total gastrectomies. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 85 patients. Other organs were resected in 85 patients. The maximum tumor diameter was 4.3±2.2 cm, number of excised lymph nodes 28.3±15.2, and number of positive lymph nodes five (range one to four. As to pathological stage,83 patients had Stage I disease, 128 Stage II, 237 Stage III, and nine Stage IV. [2] The studied surgery-related variables were as follows: The operation was successfully completed in all patients, 352 via a transabdominal approach, 25 via a transhiatus approach, and 80 via a transthoracoabdominal approach. The whole procedure was performed laparoscopically in 53 patients (11.6%), 189 (41.4%) underwent laparoscopic-assisted surgery, and 215 (47.0%) underwent open surgery. The median intraoperative blood loss was 200 (range, 10–1 350) mL, and the operating time 215.6±66.7 minutes. The anastomotic reinforcement time was 2 (7.3±3.9) minutes for laparoscopic-assisted surgery, 17.6±1.7 minutes for total laparoscopy, and 6.0±1.2 minutes for open surgery. [3] The studied postoperative variables were as follows: The median time to postoperative passage of flatus was 3.1±1.1 days and the postoperative gastrointestinal angiography time 6 (range, 4–13) days. The median time to postoperative oral intake was 7 (range, 2–14) days, and the postoperative hospitalization time 15.8±6.7 days. [4] The safety-related variables were as follows: In total, there were 184 (40.3%) postoperative complications. These comprised esophagojejunal anastomosis complications in 10 patients (2.2%), four (0.9%) being anastomotic leakage (including two cases of subclinical leakage and two of clinical leakage; all resolved with conservative treatment); and six patients (1.3%) with anastomotic stenosis (two who underwent endoscopic balloon dilation 21 and 46 days after surgery, the others improved after a change in diet). There was no anastomotic bleeding. Non-anastomotic complications occurred in 174 patients (38.1%). All patients attended for follow-up at least once, the median follow-up time being 10 (3–18) months. Visick grades were as follows: Class I, 89.1% (407/457); Class II, 7.9% (36/457); Class III, 2.6% (12/457); and Class IV 0.4% (2/457).Conclusion:Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis in radical gastrectomy is safe and feasible.

Objective:To explore the application effect of three mode pre-rehabilitation strategy in gastric cancer patients after laparoscopic radical operation and its effect on the recovery of physical function and quality of life after operation.Methods:Totally 96 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic-assisted radical gastric cancer surgery admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2019 to September 2020 were divided into control group (48 cases) and observation group (48 cases) by the random number table. Finally two cases in control group were excluded. The control group received gastric cancer regular preoperative health guidance, the observation group received trimodal pre-habilitation strategy for 6-8 days on the basis of the control group. The perioperative indicators and complications were compared between the two groups. The 36-item Health Survey Summary (SF-36) scores were measured before and after intervention.Results:The first postoperative exhaust time, first out of bed time, first oral meal time, hospital stay in the observation group were (61.49 ± 6.71) hours, (19.54 ± 6.13) hours, (71.23 ± 6.79) days, (5.62 ± 1.03) days, which lower than (79.21 ± 8.15) hours, (22.95 ± 7.19) hours, (78.95 ± 7.21) days, (6.64 ± 1.17) days in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant between the two group ( t values were 2.48-11.53, all P<0.05). The incidence of complications was 6.25% (3/48) in the observation group and 21.74% (10/46) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( χ2=8.72, P<0.05). At 1 d before operation and 30 d after operation, the average scores of SF-36 were (68.74 ± 8.02), (65.85 ± 7.44) points in the observation group and (60.73 ± 7.43), (61.04 ± 6.85) points in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.02, 3.26, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative three mode pre-rehabilitation training for gastric cancer patients is beneficial to improving the state of exercise, nutrition and immune function, speeding up postoperative gastrointestinal function and overall rehabilitation, reducing the incidence of postoperative complications and improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and treatment strategy of rare tumor in the internal auditory canal(IAC).Methods:A retrospective study was carried out in 213 patients with lesion of ICA form January 2010 to December 2020. According to imaging features, surgical findings, and pathological diagnosis, there were 7 cases of non-sporadic acoustic neuroma, including 2 cases of cavernous hemangioma, 2 cases of aneurysm, 1 case of intralabyrinthical schwannoma, 1 case of meningioma, and 1 case of unilateral neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The clinical manifestations, imaging data and intraoperative conditions as well as the formulation of individualized treatment strategies and prognosis were comprehensively analyzed.Results:In addition to hearing loss, cavernous hemangioma early appeared damage of facial nerve. CT showed expansion and calcification of IAC. Patients with aneurysm appeared tinnitus and vertigo early. CT showed enlargement of ampulla shape of IAC. DSA or MRA can help confirm the diagnosis. Patients with intralabyrinthine schwannoma early appeared refractory vertigo. High resolution MRI was helpful for diagnosis. “Dural tail sign” can be seen on enhanced MRI of meningeoma. Neurofibromatosis type 2 usually presented as bilateral vestibular schwannomas,but a few patients presented only with unilateral vestibular schwannomas.. All patients underwent labyrinth approach resection except one patient with NF2 for followed-up. Their postoperative symptoms were relieved. No tumor recurrence was observed during 6-3 years of follow-up.Conclusions:The clinical and imaging manifestations of rare tumors of the internal auditory canal are different. The principle of treatment is also different. It is helpful to avoid the serious consequences caused by blind operation to confirm diagnosis before operation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of low molecular weight heparin sodium combined with antivenin in the treatment of severe and critical bite by Trimeresurus stejnegeri.Methods:The clinical data of 48 patients with severe or critical bite by Trimeresurus stejnegeri admitted to emergency department of Southeast Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University from March 2017 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. On the basis of early treatment of antivenom serum, internal administration and external application of Jidesheng snake tablet, and wound incision and detoxification, the patients were divided into heparin treatment group and non-heparin treatment group according to whether the low molecular heparin sodium was used or not. The patients in the two groups were compared in terms of gender, age, clinical classification, swelling degree of injured limbs, change of coagulation function index, bleeding of skin, mucous membrane or digestive tract, blood transfusion, local symptoms of bite, length of hospital stay and prognosis.Results:There was no significant difference in terms of gender, age, clinical classification or swelling degree of injured limbs between the two groups. On the 3rd day of treatment, the platelet count (PLT) in the heparin treatment group was significantly higher than that in the non-heparin treatment group [×10 9/L: 210.0 (160.0, 252.0) vs. 136.0 (104.0, 198.5), P < 0.05]. However, there was no significant difference in the four coagulation test results between the two groups. On the 6th day of treatment, the plasma thrombin time (TT) in the heparin treatment group was significantly shorter than that on the 3rd day of treatment [s: 30.3 (20.4, 37.0) vs. 34.7 (24.0, 73.4), P < 0.05], and the fibrinogen (FIB) in the heparin treatment group was significantly higher than that in the non-heparin treatment group [g/L: 0.60 (0.31, 1.07) vs. 0.20 (0.14, 0.60), P < 0.01]. The incidence of bleeding in the heparin treatment group was significantly lower than that in the non-heparin treatment group [21.7% (5/23) vs. 64.0% (16/25), P < 0.01]; 11 patients in the heparin treatment group and 18 patients in the non-heparin treatment group received blood transfusion and prothrombin complex supplement respectively. There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the heparin group and non-heparin treatment group (days: 6.91±1.92 vs. 7.48±2.27, P > 0.05). The patients in both groups were followed up for 1 week to 1 month after treatment, and no death or local necrosis of skin and soft tissue was found. Conclusions:For the patients with severe and critical bite by Trimeresurus stejnegeri, on the basis of injection of antivenom serum, internal administration and external application of Jidesheng snake tablet, and wound incision and detoxification, early application of low molecular weight heparin sodium anticoagulation and other comprehensive treatment is helpful to improve limb swelling and inflammation, reduce blood transfusion, promote the recovery of coagulation function, and shorten the length of hospitalization.
