Objective To assess the effect of early nutritional intervention on the patients with respiratory diseases at nutritional risk. Methods A total of 130 patients with respiratory disease who were hospitalized in Shanghai Fifth People’s Hospital, Fudan University between May 2023 and December 2024 and had a nutritional risk screening 2002 score ≥3 points. Based on the initiation time of nutritional intervention, patients were divided into an early group (≤5 days, n=65) and a late group (>5 days, n=65). Results In the early group, prealbumin (P-ALB) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) levels were significantly higher (P<0.01), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) levels were significantly lower after intervention (P<0.05). Compared with the late group, the hospital costs were lower and hospital stays were shorter in the early group (P<0.001). Spearman analysis showed ALB, P-ALB, and total protein (TP) were negatively correlated with hospital costs (r=-0.37, -0.20, and-0.22, P<0.05). RBP, ALB, P-ALB, and lymphocyte count (LYM) were negatively correlated with CRP (r=-0.30, -0.26, -0.37, -0.18, P<0.01), RBP, ALB, P-ALB, hemoglobin (HB), and TP were negatively correlated with PCT (r=-0.23,-0.36, -0.40, -0.30, -0.19, P<0.05). Conclusions For patients with respiratory diseases, early nutritional assessment should be underwent, and for patients with nutritional risk screening 2002 score ≥3 points, early nutritional intervention could improve the nutritional status and alleviate inflammatory response, promote recovery, shorten the hospital stays.

Acute Gelsemium poisoning is a systemic disease primarily affecting the central nervous system and respiratory symptoms caused by the ingestion of a substantial amount of Gelsemium within a short period. It manifests as sudden onset and rapid progression, primarily caused by accidental ingestion due to misidentification, and posing significant health risks. The compilation of the Technical Plan for Emergency Health Response to Acute Gelsemium Poisoning describes in detail the specialized practice and technical requirements in the process of handling acute Gelsemium poisoning, including accident investigation and management, laboratory testing and identification, in-hospital treatment, and health monitoring. The guidelines clarify key procedures and requirements such as personal protection, investigation elements, etiology determination, medical rescue, and health education. The key to acute Gelsemium poisoning investigation lies in promptly identifying the toxin through exposure history, clinical manifestations, and sample testing. Because there is no specific antidote for Gelsemium poisoning, immediate removal from exposure, rapid elimination of the toxin, and respiratory monitoring are critical on-site rescue measures. Visual identification of food or herbal materials, followed by laboratory testing to determine Gelsemium alkaloids in samples is a rapid effective screening method. These guidelines offer a scientific, objective, and practical framework to support effective emergency responses to acute Gelsemium poisoning incidences.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of en bloc resection of ureteral orifice in the treatment of tumors around ureteral orifice. Methods: Clinical data of 43 patients treated at our hospital during Jul.2018 and Jun.2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including 34 male and 9 female patients.Prior to surgical intervention,all patients were diagnosed with bladder masses via imaging or cystoscopy,and no concurrent upper urinary tract tumors were detected.The initial surgical procedure was transurethral resection of bladder tumor,which removed the tumors around ureteral orifice.Subsequently,electrocoagulation was employed for hemostasis,followed by the placement of a double-J tube into the affected ureter.Tumor recurrence and hydronephrosis were observed after operation. Results: All operations were successful without conversion to open surgery.The operation time was (61±25) min.The postoperative pathological results showed 28 cases of Ta stage tumors,14 cases of T1 stage tumors,and 1 case of T2 stage tumor.During the follow-up of (17±11) months,8 patients (19%) had tumor recurrence,among whom 4 (9%) had recurrent tumor involving the ureteral orifice,and 1 (2%) had transient hydronephrosis after removal of double-J tube. Conclusion: The en bloc resection of the ureteral orifice with placement of a double-J tube is safe and effective for the treatment of tumors around the ureteral orifice,with low recurrence rate.It is an optional procedure for early stage patients.

To analyze the treatment strategy for a 78-year-old female patient with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) gastric cancer who achieved long-term survival. After third-line chemotherapy failed, gene testing showed ARID1A p.Gln748fs, c.2733-1G>T variation, with PD-L1 TPS 30%, CPS 60%. The nivolumab was employed, and two weeks later, the best response was partial response (PR). During the fourth-line immunotherapy maintenance treatment, progression of left adrenal metastasis was observed. The expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) was positive, and the antibody drug conjugate disitamab vedotin (RC48) was chosen for treatment. After 10 months of treatment with nivolumab combined with RC48, the best efficacy was assessed as stable disease (SD), with a progression free survival (PFS) of up to 12 months. Radiotherapy was employed, and immunotherapy was maintained, allowing the patient to achieve a PFS of 18 months again. During immunotherapy, a clinical pharmacist developed a personalized pharmaceutical care plan for this patient. At the last follow-up, this patient achieved 78 months of long-term survival.

China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2024;37(5):476-481
Objective To investigate the occurrence of posterior femoral head tilt after clinical non-displaced femoral neck fracture,and to provide a reference basis for clinical surgery and improvement of disease prognosis.Methods Total of 165 pa-tients with non-displaced femoral neck fractures of Garden type Ⅰ and Ⅱ from January 2018 to June 2022 were selected as study subjects including 48 males and 117 females,with an average age of(71.5±8.5)years old ranging from 53 to 89,involving 97 cases of type Ⅰ and 68 of type Ⅱ.On the patient's preoperative sagittal or axial CT film of the hip,the angle formed by the ra-dius line of the femoral head and the midline of the femoral neck was used as the posterior tilt angle of the femoral head(α),and the posterior tilt femoral head angle was measured using the method proposed by Palm.The measured data were divided into 6 groups:α<0°,0°<α<5°,5°≤α<10°,10°≤α<15°,15°≤α<20°,α≥20°,and the incidence of different ranges of poste-rior tilt angle was compared.The sex composition ratio of 165 patients were analyzed and compared,and the age of 65 was used as the cut-off point to compare the incidence of fractures between genders.Patients were divided into the posterior tilt<20° group for 135 cases and the posterior tilt ≥20°group for 30 cases according to the preoperative posterior tilt angle,the differ-ences between two groups in terms of gender and age were analyzed.Results Among 165 patients with non-displaced femoral neck fractures,143 cases with poaterior tilt of the femoral head occurred with an incidence of 86.7%.Posterior tilt 0°<α<5° ac-counted for 36 cases with an incidence of 21.8%;5°≤α<10° accounted for 40 cases with an incidence of 24.2%;10°≤α<15° accounted for 27 cases with an incidence of 16.4%;15°≤α<20° accounted for 10 cases with an incidence of 6.1%;posterior tilt angle α≥20° accounted for 30 cases,the incidence was 18.2%,of which the maximum posterior tilt angle was 42.7°.Statis-tical analysis showed that the percentage of fractures in the 165 patients selected for this study was significantly higher in fe-male than in male,and that the female group was more likely to have fractures before the age of 65 years compared to the male group.However,gender,age and fracture subtypes(Garden Ⅰ,Ⅱ)were not influential factors for femoral neck fractures with a preoperative posterior femoral head tilt angle>20°(P>0.05).Conclusion The incidence of femoral head posterior tile in non-displaced femoral neck fractures is relatively high,in which severe posterior tile occurs,and the femoral head posterior tile an-gle ≥20° can reach 18.2%.In patients with closed reduction internal fixation,the fracture end needs to be repositioned as much as possible to reduce the risk of postoperative avascular necrosis of the femoral head.In order to prevent femoral neck frac-tures,special attention should be paid to anti-osteoporosis treatment for female.Preoperative assessment of posterior tilt is criti-cal for patients of different ages,genders and fracture subtypes(Garden Ⅰ,Ⅱ).
