BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric femoral fractures are the main type of fragility fracture in the elderly,and proximal femoral nail antirotation is the preferred surgical option,but the factors associated with postoperative internal fixation failure are controversial.OBJECTIVE:A new"three-column"classification of intertrochanteric femoral fractures was proposed by evaluating patients'imaging data preoperatively and analyzing its interaction with postoperative internal fixation failure.A risk prediction model was developed and validated by using numerical algorithms,which facilitates clinicians to identify and intervene in high-risk patients preoperatively.METHODS:Patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures in Sanshui Branch of Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2012 and June 2022 were selected.The patients were divided into the internal fixation failure group and the internal fixation maintenance group according to whether they had internal fixation failure after surgery.According to the preoperative radiographs,the proximal femur was divided into three columns:the medial column,the lateral column,and the middle column.Each column had different subgroups.The relationship between the morphological characteristics of the"three columns"and the failure of proximal femoral nail antirotation internal fixation was analyzed,and the independent risk factors for internal fixation failure were screened out by single and then multifactorial logistic regression analyses.A risk prediction model was constructed according to the independent risk factors using R language software.The Bootstrap method was used to resample 1 000 times.The area under the curve,calibration curve,and clinical decision curve were used to evaluate the differentiation,calibration ability,and clinical application value of the model.The Youden index was used to determine the optimal risk cut-off value of the prediction model,according to which the patients were divided into high and low risk groups.The stability and extensibility of the model were evaluated according to the accuracy of its risk prediction ability.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The four independent risk factors for postoperative internal fixation failure after surgery were predicted using the"three-column"typing system:medial column(comminuted fracture of the lesser trochanter and femoral talar)[odds ratio=5.385,95％CI(1.961,14.782),P=0.001],medial column(chimney type)[odds ratio=2.893,95％CI(1.167,7.173),P=0.022],lateral column(lateral wall thickness＜20.5 mm)[odds ratio=2.804,95％CI(1.078,7.297),P=0.035]and lateral column(lateral wall fracture)[odds ratio=4.278,95％CI(1.670,10.959),P=0.012].(2)The constructed risk prediction model showed good discrimination and accuracy[area under the receiver operating characteristic curve=0.852,95％CI(0.837,0.922)].The calibration curve showed good agreement between the model-predicted risk and the actual risk of occurrence.(3)The clinical decision curve suggested that the model had good clinical applicability when the risk threshold probability was in the range of 0.2-0.82.The risk probability of 28％was the optimal threshold for risk stratification of the model,and the predictive performance of the model was better in patients with different risk groups.(4)The"three-column"typing system constructs a predictive model to calculate the risk probability of postoperative internal fixation failure in patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures.This method is accurate,simple,and easy to apply clinically,and can be used as a digital tool to guide personalized clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods Rats were divided into a sham group, MCAO group, and MCAO+TAK group. Cerebral cortices were removed on day 1, 3, 7, and 14 post surgery. Morphological staining and Western blotting were used to detect pathological changes and TLR4 and P-IKKα/β expression in brain tissues. Results The pathological changes in the MCAO+TAK group were more severe than in the MCAO group on day 1 post surgery. However, the MCAO group exhibited more severe damage at the other time points. TLR4 expression was lowest in the cerebral cortices of the sham group. On day 1 and 14 post surgery, TLR4 expression was lower in the MCAO group than in the MCAO+TAK group, while on day 3 and 7 post surgery, TLR4 expression was higher in the MCAO group than in the MCAO+TAK group. P-IKKα/β expression was highest in the cerebral cortices of the MCAO group at all time points except for day 1. Conclusion TLR4 may alleviate cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats on day 1 post surgery; however, TLR4 may exacerbate ischemia repeifusion injury 3 to 14 days post surgery. The mechanism may be due to the effect of P-IKKα/β expression in the cerebral cortex.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound in evaluating the degree of xerostomia in the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC) receiving intensity?modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Methods A total of 30 NPC patients who were admitted to our hospital from May 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled in this study. The degree of xerostomia in these NPC patients was scored according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group scoring criteria. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the peak systolic blood flow velocity of the parotid gland and submandibular gland and the changes in vascular diameter of the parotid gland in the NPC patients before, during, and after IMRT. The correlation between each parameter and the degree of xerostomia was determined by analysis of variance. Results In the 28 NPC patients included in the statistical analysis, the degree of xerostomia during IMRT was significantly higher than that before IMRT ( P=0024 ) , and the degree of xerostomia at 3 months after IMRT was significantly lower than that during IMRT ( P=0035) . The peak systolic blood flow velocity of the parotid gland and submandibular gland and the proportion of patients with decreases in vascular diameter of the parotid gland during IMRT were significantly higher than those before IMRT ( P=0001 and 0003;P=0001);the above parameters at 3 months after IMRT were significantly lower than those during IMRT ( P=0008 and 0012;P=0001) . During IMRT and after IMRT, the degree of xerostomia was significantly correlated with the peak systolic blood flow velocity of the parotid gland ( r=0563, P=0026;r=0409, P=0031) . Conclusions Ultrasound can be used as a noninvasive detection for the hemodynamic changes in the parotid gland, and it has a certain clinical reference value for evaluating the degree of xerostomia in NPC patients during and after IMRT.
