Objective To analyze the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the context of specific cases and literature. Methods A case of EBV-negative DLBCL (GCB type) after kidney transplantation is reported. The patient was a 45-year-old male who underwent living-related kidney transplantation in 2016 and has been receiving triple immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone since then. In 2024, the patient presented with intermittent fever, night sweats and gastrointestinal symptoms. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopic pathology, immunohistochemical staining and positron emission tomography/computed tomography. The R-CDOP regimen (rituximab + cyclophosphamide + liposomal doxorubicin + vincristine + dexamethasone) was used for treatment. Results The patient was diagnosed with EBV-negative DLBCL (GCB type, Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ B). After 4 cycles of R-CDOP chemotherapy, the efficacy assessment was partial remission, and the transplant kidney function remained stable. Conclusions For EBV-negative PTLD after kidney transplantation, it is necessary to break through the "virus-dependent" diagnostic thinking. In clinical practice, the focus should be on protecting the transplant kidney, and individualized treatment plans should be developed for patients.

Objective To explore the feasibility of magnetic compression technique (MCR) in the treatment of severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. Methods After 10 female New Zealand rabbits were selected, the distal end of the right ureter was ligated with silk thread. Two weeks after the operation, when the right ureter was dilated, the mid-ureter was ligated again with silk thread to create a severe single mid-ureteral stricture animal model. Longitudinal incisions were made at the upper and lower ends of the ligation site, and cylindrical NdFeB magnets with central holes (sub-magnets and main magnets) were placed to anastomose and recanalize the mid-ureteral stricture. The magnets were adjusted to the appropriate position to automatically align and attract each other. The longitudinal incision sites of the ureter were sutured with 6-0 Prolene thread, and the abdominal cavity was closed layer by layer. The operation time was recorded. X-ray films were taken every two days to confirm the position of the magnets and record the time of magnet detachment. Three weeks after the operation, the anastomotic specimens were obtained, and the formation of the anastomosis was evaluated with gross observation and histological staining. Results Two weeks after ligation, all experimental rabbits showed obvious dilation of the right ureter. The mid-ureteral ligation and placement of the male and female magnets were successfully completed in all 10 experimental rabbits, with an operation time of (24.00±5.15)minutes. The male and female magnets attracted each other well. X-ray examination showed that the magnets detached and entered the distal ureter (14.0±1.9) days after magnetic compression. The recanalization of the severe single mid-ureteral stricture was successfully achieved. The gross specimens and histological examination of the anastomosis showed that the anastomosis remained patent and the mucosal healing was good. All experimental rabbits survived well after the operation without serious complications. Conclusion MCT provides a new idea and novel method for the treatment of mid-ureteral stricture. This study confirmed the feasibility of this technique in treating severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. The operation is relatively simple and has potential for clinical application.

Objective This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intelligent bed management model in integrating bed resources in a large comprehensive hospital.Methods Inpatient data from a tertiary hospital between January 2021 and De-cember 2024 were collected.An intelligent hospital-wide bed management platform was constructed to implement bed resource sharing mechanisms and establish a standardized bed reservation grading system.The implementation effect of the system was e-valuated from the perspective of bed occupancy rate,average length of stay,and patient satisfaction.Results After implementa-tion,bed occupancy rates in key monitored departments moved into a reasonable range:Rehabilitation Medicine Department fell from 113.18％to 101.48％(t=4.26,P＜0.01),while Neurology Department increased from 88.18％to 96.20％(t=3.85,P＜0.01).Annual inpatient admissions increased from 83,931 to 103,852(x2=156.82,P＜0.001),and average length of stay shortened from 7.15 days to 6.21 days(t=4.73,P＜0.01).The admission waiting time was cut by 72.7 hours(-43.1％),and satisfaction with bed allocation rationality improved by 11.2 points(t=5.94,P＜0.001).Staff time spent on bed-assignment fell by 42 minutes per shift(t=8.92,P＜0.001),and cross-department transfers increased by 378 episodes per month(x2=145.26,P＜0.001).Conclusion The intelligent bed management model can effectively improve hospital bed utili-zation efficiency,enhance healthcare service quality,reduce staff workload,and merits wider application in similar hospitals.

Selenium is an essential trace element for human body.The primary functional form of selenium in the organism is selenoproteins(Sep),which plays a crucial role in maintaining normal physiological functions,influencing immune responses,and is also implicated in tumorigenesis and related metabolic disorders.Recent studies have shown that Sep is involved in the pathophysiological process of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).This article reviewed the mechanisms of Sep in IBD,aiming to explore the pathogenic mechanisms of IBD and provide insights for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of modified associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) in the treatment of patients with primary liver cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 83 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hemihepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Tumor Surgery of Gansu Provincial Cancer Hospital between January 2022 and November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 53 males and 30 females, aged (54.0±6.5) years. According to the treatment protocol, patients were divided into the control group ( n=41), in which patients underwent traditional ALPPS, and the observation group ( n=42), in which patients underwent modified ALPPS (occlusion of portal venous branch using vascular clips, combined with radiofrequency ablation for physical separation of the diseased lobe, without liver mobilization). The completion rate of staged surgery, interval between surgeries, future liver remnant (FLR) growth rate at 7 days after first-stage surgery, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels at 5 days after fisrt-stage surgery, and postoperative complications (ascites, nausea, and vomiting, etc.) were compared between the groups. Results:The completion rate of staged surgery was 95.2% (40/42) in the observation group and 90.2% (37/41) in the control group ( χ2=0.62, P=0.431). The ALT and AST levels at 5 days after first-stage surgery were (550.4±86.0) U/L and (327.1±52.8) U/L in the observation group, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (861.6±106.3) U/L and (533.8±73.7) U/L, respectively ( t=13.13 and P<0.001, t=12.93 and P<0.001). The FLR growth rate were higher in the observation group than that in the control group [(80.4±10.3)% vs (49.3±5.7)%; t=13.13, P<0.001] and the interval between procedures were also shorter in the observation group (10.9±2.1 vs 22.4±4.8, d; t=9.65, P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss of the first-stage surgery was lower in the observation group than that in the control group (350.5±45.2 vs 825.5±21.7, ml; t=21.43, P<0.001). The total complication rates after the first-stage surgery were 11.9% (5/42) in the observation group and 19.5% (8/41) in the control group, while after the second-stage surgery, the complication rates were 7.5% (3/40) and 18.9% (7/37), respectively, with no statistically significant differences ( χ2=0.65 and P=0.419, χ2=1.81 and 0.177, respectively). Conclusion:The modified ALPPS offers better postoperative liver function, reduced surgical trauma, accelerated FLR growth, and a shorter interval between procedures, demonstrating a favorable safety in the treatment of primary liver cancer.

This study investigated the infectious status and pathogen characteristics of Leptospira in rodents and the environment in Fujian province to provide data for the prevention and control of leptospirosis.A total of 723 rodents and 31 water samples were col-lected from 19 regions in Fujian Province during 2020-2023.The prevalent rodent species was Rattus losea(35.82%,259/723),which was followed by Rattus norvegicus(20.06%,145/723),Rattus tanezumi(19.64%,142/723),and Niviventer fulvescens(13.97%,101/723).A total of 144 positive samples of Leptospira spp.were detected in rodent kidney samples,accounting for 19.92%(144/723).The positivity rate of Leptospira spp.in wild rodents was higher than that in domestic rodents(χ2=8.48,P<0.05),and the positivity rate in adult rodents was higher than that in juvenile rodents(χ2=14.19,P<0.05).The positivity rates varied among rodent species(χ2=46.11,P<0.05),and differences in the positivity rates of Leptospira spp.were observed among regions(χ2=32.113,P<0.05).Ten strains were isolated from 440 rodent samples,and the isolation rate was 2.27%(10/440).Genospecies identification indi-cated that Leptospira borgpetersenii accounted for seven of the ten isolates,and L.interrogans accounted for three.MLST typing divided 10 isolates into three ST types:ST1,ST16,and ST143.5 isolates were isolated from 31 water samples,with an isolation rate of 16.13%,all of which were nonpathogenic L.tsangambouensis.Although pathogenic Leptospira spp.were not isolated from the water samples,the rodents in Fujian Province were generally infected with pathogenic Leptospira spp.Surveillance of the environment and ro-dents infected with Leptospira spp.should be strengthened.

Objective To explore the value of the corrected-size ratio(c-SR)value of intracranial volume computed tomography angiography(CTA)in predicting the risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture.Methods A total of 81 patients with aneurysms who had follow-up records were selected.Among them,39 patients with unruptured aneurysms and underwent regular follow-ups,while 9 patients with unruptured aneurysms opted for surgical intervention.Additionally,surgery was performed on 33 patients with ruptured aneu-rysms.Three-dimensional reconstruction of CTA was performed to obtain the morphological parameters of aneurysms.The initial size ratio(SR)value of aneurysm and the follow-up SR value or postoperative c-SR value were obtained.The changes in SR values of unruptured aneurysms were analyzed,the preoperative SR values and postoperative c-SR values of aneurysms were analyzed.Finally,the correla-tion between the intial SR value of unruptured aneurysms and the c-SR value of ruptured aneurysms was compared.Results No sig-nificant difference was observed between the initial SR value of unruptured aneurysms and the follow-up SR value(P>0.05).Simi-larly,no significant difference was noted between the preoperative SR value of unruptured aneurysms and the postoperative c-SR value(P>0.05).The preoperative SR value of ruptured aneurysms differed significantly from the postoperative c-SR value(P<0.05).There was a significant difference between the initial SR value of unruptured aneurysms and the postoperative c-SR value of ruptured aneurysms(P<0.05).The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was performed on the initial SR value of unrup-tured aneurysms and the postoperative c-SR value of ruptured aneurysms.The area under the curve(AUC)was 0.860 and the best cut-off value was 1.045.Conclusion Unruptured aneurysms remain stable for an extended period of time,exhibiting no significant change in morphological parameters.It can be concluded that surgical intervention does not affect the SR value of aneurysms.In the case of subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured aneurysms,the parent artery become thinner,then the preoperative SR value of ruptured aneurysms may be exaggerated,which results in the distortion of the preoperative SR value of ruptured aneurysms.However,the postoperative c-SR value is the true SR value before the rup-ture of aneurysms.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.
