Objective:To analyze the efficacy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with partial varus retention in the treatment of moderate knee varus.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 613 osteoarthritis patients with moderate knee varus who underwent TKA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2010 to October 2019. According to whether a 2°-3° of knee varus was retained, the patients were divided into the retained varus group and the mechanical alignment group. The retained varus group included 318 cases, with 63 males and 255 females, aged 68.51±6.95 years (range, 46-86 years), and BMI of 26.99±3.66 kg/m 2 (range, 17.40-39.01 kg/m 2). Preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) classification of knee osteoarthritis was grade III in 113 cases and grade IV in 205 cases. The mechanical alignment group included 295 cases, with 75 males and 220 females, aged 69.60±7.12 years (range, 52-87 years), and BMI of 26.95±3.94 kg/m 2 (range, 16.60-41.90 kg/m 2). Preoperative K-L classification was grade III in 102 cases and grade IV in 193 cases. Surgical duration, total blood loss, preoperative and postoperative varus angle, lower limb swelling on the fifth postoperative day, and postoperative complications were recorded. Follow-up were arranged at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years postoperatively. At each follow-up point, the visual analogue score (VAS) for knee pain, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12), and MOS item short-form health survey (SF-36) were assessed. Results:All 613 patients were successfully followed up, with a follow-up period of 5.25±1.02 years (range, 5.0-6.0 years). There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, BMI, and K-L classification between the two groups ( P>0.05). The differences in postoperative varus angle, VAS scores, and HSS score were statistically significant from the preoperative values in both groups( P<0.05). The surgical duration of the retained varus group was 77.40±18.55 min, total blood loss was 920.78±407.26 ml, and lower limb swelling on the fifth postoperative day was 1.18±0.51 cm, all of which were lower than those in the mechanical alignment group: 85.31±22.15 min, 1127.14±580.08 ml, 3.22±0.52 cm, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The VAS scores at postoperative day 5 and 3 months in the retained varus group were 5.08±0.72 and 2.18±1.09, respectively, which were lower than those in the mechanical alignment group: 5.80±0.81, 3.00±1.04, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in VAS scores at 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HSS scores at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively in the retained varus group were 68.57±4.98 and 79.04±3.26, respectively, which were higher than those in the mechanical alignment group: 64.14±3.99, 77.73±4.04, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in HSS scores at 1 year and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The FJS-12 scores at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively in the retained varus group were 18.06±3.50 and 27.50±1.80, respectively, which were higher than those in the mechanical alignment group: 13.45±2.44, 24.23±1.59, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in FJS-12 scores at 1 year and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The SF-36 scores at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively in the retained varus group were 40.85±8.07 and 52.15±6.01, respectively, which were higher than those in the mechanical alignment group: 35.87±6.83, 47.28±5.38, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in SF-36 scores at 1 year and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs was 3.8% (12/318) in the retained varus group, which was lower than the 7.8% (23/295) in the mechanical alignment group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In osteoarthritis patients with moderate knee varus undergoing TKA, retaining approximately 3° of varus can reduce surgical trauma and total blood loss, shorten surgical duration, alleviate postoperative pain and limb swelling, facilitate functional recovery, and improve patient satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the influence of genetic and environmental factors on the clinical characteristics of upper urinary tract calculi in pediatric patients.Methods:This study was a retrospective case series. The clinical data of 179 children under the age of 14 with upper urinary tract calculi treated at Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University,from August 2014 to February 2023 were analyzed. There were 121 males(67.60%)and 58 females(32.40%),with a median age at onset of 2.10(1.14,5.17)years. Thirty-three cases(18.44%)had a family history of urinary stone disease. Stone characteristics was defined by CT,with a median stone burden(sum of the diameters of all stones)of 1.3(1.00,1.60)cm. Fifty-four(30.17%)children had staghorn calculi. Multiple stones were present in 92 cases(51.40%),and bilateral stones in 52 cases(29.05%),with hydronephrosis was present in 119 children(66.48%). The median follow-up time was 67 months,and 36 children(20.11%)experienced stone recurrence. Dietary habits and related information were collected by electronic questionnaire,including a total of 115 children(64.25%)with an unbalanced diet,101(56.42%)with insufficient water intake,and 32 children(17.88%)with a preference for a high-protein diet. Tap water was used as the source of drinking water by 128 patients(71.51%),and 107(59.78%)took dietary supplements. Whole-exome sequencing revealed that 55 children(30.73%)carried pathogenic mutations in stone-related genes. Binary logistic regression was used for univariate analysis of above risk factors. Variables with P < 0.1 in univariate analysis and without multicollinearity were included in multivariate logistic regression to further screen for independent risk factors. Results:Multivariate analysis confirmed that carrying stone-related pathogenic gene mutations( OR = 3.06,95% CI 1.25?7.45, P = 0.014)and insufficient water intake( OR = 3.28,95% CI 1.14?9.47, P = 0.028)were independent risk factors for higher stone burden. A high-protein diet( OR = 2.40,95% CI 1.03?5.63, P = 0.044),carrying stone-related pathogenic gene mutations( OR = 4.57,95% CI 2.21?9.46, P<0.01),and a family history of stones( OR = 3.18,95% CI 1.28 ~ 7.91, P = 0.013)were independent risk factors for staghorn calculi. Multiple stones were closely associated with a family history of stones( OR = 2.66,95% CI 1.15-6.17, P = 0.022)and carrying stone-related pathogenic gene mutations( OR = 3.22,95% CI 1.60-6.48, P = 0.001). Moreover,carrying stone-related pathogenic gene mutations( OR = 5.19,95% CI 2.52?13.82, P < 0.01)were an independent risk factor for stone recurrence,whereas dietary supplement intake was a protective factor( OR = 0.26,95% CI 0.11?0.62, P = 0.002). Conclusions:Genetic and environmental factors play significant roles in the occurrence and development of pediatric upper urinary tract stones. A high-protein diet as well as a positive family history of stones are independent risk factors for staghorn calculi,and insufficient water intake is a critical environmental factor for stone formation,while appropriate use of dietary supplements may help reduce the risk of stone recurrence. Genetic testing indicates that approximately 30% of children carry stone-related pathogenic gene mutations,and these patients prone to severe stone and an increased risk of recurrence.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness, safety and postoperative recurrence of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with Holmium laser for upper urinary calculi in Uyghur and Han pediatric patients.Methods:The data of 123 Uyghur and 71 Han pediatric patients with upper urinary calculi admitted to First People's Hospital of Kashgar, Xinjiang and Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University respectively, from August 2018 to August 2023, were retrospectively reviewed. The gender [males 73 (59.3%) vs.46 (64.8%) ], laterality (single/bilateral: 94/29 vs. 59/12), hydronephrosis [115 (93.5%) vs. 63 (88.7%)] and anatomical abnormalities [2(1.6%) vs. 5(7.0%)] of Uyghur and Han children were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Uyghur children were older than Han children [5 (3, 7) vs. 3 (2, 6) years old], with a higher proportion of emaciated children [27 (21.9%) vs. 6 (8.5%) cases], a larger maximum stone diameter [(2.30±0.78) vs. (1.96±1.50) cm] and a lower proportion of multiple stones [46 (37.4%) vs. 52 (73.2%) cases] (all P<0.05). All the patients were treated with Holmium laser PCNL. The channels of the procedures in this study include F12-18 small channels and visual puncture channels. The operation datas, stone-free rate (SFR), complication rate (CR) and stone recurrence rate of the two groups were compared. Meanwhile, multiple logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors influencing these indicators. Results:The operation time for Uyghur children was significantly longer than that of Han children [75.0 (58.0, 93.0) vs. 30.0 (20.0, 48.8) min]. Additionally, a greater proportion of Uyghur children underwent PCNL with F12-18 small channels than Han children [119 (96.7%) vs. 49(69.0%) cases]. The SFR [89.4%(110/123)vs.88.7%(63/71)], and postoperative CR [31.7%(39/123)vs. 26.8%(19/71)] in Uyghur and Han patients were not significantly different (all P>0.05). The recurrence rate in Uyghur children was higher than that observed in Han children [28.1%(25/89) vs. 15.6%(10/64), P=0.033]. The multivariate logistic regression analysis results indicated that the maximum stone diameter was an independent risk factor for SFR in both groups ( OR=0.401, 95% CI 0.191-0.842, P=0.016). Similarly, maximum stone diameter ( OR=1.896, 95% CI 1.088-3.304, P=0.024) and multiple stones ( OR=3.225, 95% CI 1.409-7.384, P=0.024) were identified as independent risk factors for CR. Ethnicity was not independent risk factor for SFR( OR=0.679, 95% CI 0.215-2.140), CR( OR=1.047, 95% CI 0.495-2.215) and stone recurrence rate( OR=0.820, 95% CI 0.285-2.356, all P>0.05). Conclusions:In comparison to Han pediatric patients during the same period, Holmium laser PCNL had similar SFR and CR for treating Uyghur children with upper urinary calculi, who were older, more emaciated and had larger average stone diameters. The higher postoperative recurrence rate of Uyghur children is likely to be associated with higher stone burden. The multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that ethnicity was not an influential factor in SFR, complication rates, and stone recurrence rates. The findings need to be further validated in larger prospective cohort studies.

Objective:To compare the evaluation ability and effect of the nursing delirium screening scale (Nu-DESC) and the intensive care delirium screening checklist (ICDSC) on the patients with delirium after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:A total of 128 patients who were admitted to cardiovascular surgery from June 2018 to June 2019 for PCI intervention were selected by convenient sampling method.Data were collected by general data questionnaire, restless sedation scale (RASS), Nu-DESC and ICDSC.SPSS 18.0 was used to analyze the collected data.The patients' receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve(AUC) were used to analyze Nu-DESC scale and ICDSC scale to evaluate the delirium ability of patients after PCI. Kappa value was used to test the consistency of the scale.Bayes discriminant analysis was used to analyze the accuracy of Nu-DESC and ICDSC in judging delirium after PCI.Results:The AUC of Nu-DESC and ICDSC was 0.902 and 0.857 respectively, and the difference between them was AUC=0.045 ( Z=3.489, P<0.001); the best critical value of Nu-DESC and ICDSC for delirium evaluation was 2 and 4. The cross validation accuracy of Nu-DESC and ICDSC for delirium determination was 87.5% and 83.6%, respectively.The delirium rates of DSM-Ⅳ, Nu-DESC and ICDSC were 33.6%, 34.4% and 43.7%, respectively. Conclusion:Compared with ICDSC, Nu-DESC is more suitable for the evaluation of delirium after PCI.

AIM To observe the anti-inflammatory effects of total flavones from Xueli Formula (Violae Herba,Serissa japonica,Plantaginis Herba and Salvia plebeia,TFXL) on LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.METHODS The effects of different concentrations of TFXL on RAW264.7 cell viability were examined by MTT assay.The NO kit assay was adopted to detect the NO release amount of TFXL on LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.The secretions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) was used to determine the expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),TNF-α,IL6 and IL10 mRNA.The protein expressions of IκB-α and p65 were tested by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the LPS model group,TFXL could significantly reduce the secretions of NO,TNF-α and IL-6;increase the secretion of IL-10;inhibit the expressions of iNOS,TNF-α and IL6 mRNA;promote the expression of IL10 mRNA;inhibit the phosphorylations of IκB-α and p65.The TFXL high-dose group could inhibit the degradation of IκB-α.CONCLUSION This study preliminarily proves the protective effects of TFXL on LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cell inflammation,whose action mechanism may be related to NF-κB signal pathway.
