OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with umbilical therapy on anxiety and depression in patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) after spinal cord injury (SCI). METHODS: Thirty cases of NB after SCI with anxiety and depression were selected and treated with acupuncture and moxibustion combined with umbilical therapy. Acupuncture was applied at Baihui (GV20), Yintang (GV24⁺), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Shenmen (HT7), Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3), once a day, continuous treatment for 4 weeks. Ginger moxibustion was applied at the bladder meridian of foot taiyang and governor vessel, once a day, continuous treatment for 4 weeks. In treatment of umbilical therapy, Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Yujin (Radix Curcumae), Rougui (Cortex Cinnamomi) were ground and mixed with the same amount of honey, put into the application, and the application was placed on the navel after filling the navel with fine salt, once a day for 4 weeks. Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) score, Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) score, urodynamic indexes (maximum urinary flow rate [Qmax], maximum detrusor pressure [Pdet-max], residual urine volume [RUV]), neurogenic bladder symptom score (NBSS), urinary symptom distress scale (USDS) score were compared before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. RESULTS: After treatment, the scores of HAMA, HAMD, NBSS, USDS and RUVwere lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and Qmax and Pdet-max were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.3 (28/30). CONCLUSION Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with umbilical therapy can effectively relieve anxiety and depression symptoms, improve urination disorders in patients with NB after SCI.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value and clinical effect of 3D printing combined with customized bone plate in the treatment of acetabular fracture. METHODS: From June 2020 to June 2022, 11 patients with acetabular fractures underwent preoperative planning using 3D printing technology and were treated with customized bone plates including 8 males and 3 females, aged 25 to 66 years old. The fractures were classified according to Letournel-Judet:4 posterior wall fractures, 2 T-type fractures, 2 transverse posterior wall fractures, 2 double column fractures, and 1 anterior column with posterior semi-transverse fractures. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative fracture healing time, and hip function score were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: The operation time of 11 patients was 80 to 150 min, intraoperative blood volume was 150 to 700 ml, fluoroscopy frequency was 2 to 6, postoperative drainage flow was 60 to 195 ml, and the fracture healing time was 2.5 to 6.0 months. Fracture reduction was evaluated according to Matta score:anatomical reduction in 3 cases and satisfactory reduction in 8 cases. Eleven patients were followed up for 7 to 18 months. The hip Merle d'Aubigne function scores were excellent in 6 cases, good in 3 cases, fair in 1 case and poor in 1 case. Incision fat liquefaction occurred in 1 case and obturator nerve traction in 1 case. CONCLUSION The application of 3D printing technology combined with customized bone plates in the treatment of acetabular fracture is effective. In addition, the printed model can provide the operator with the results of the three-dimensional shape of the fracture, which is convenient for surgical reduction and effectively improves the efficiency of surgery.

Objective To observe the difference of bone micro-structure in different regions of proximal femur,micro-CT scanning was performed on 30 proximal femur specimens to explain the mechanism of proximal femur fracture and to provide anatomical basis for prosthesis design.Methods Totally 30 intact proximal femur specimens were obtained from 60-80 year-old cadavers.Micro-CT scanning was used to measure the trabecular thickness(Tb.Th),trabecular number(Tb.N),trabecular space(Tb.Sp),connectivity(Conn)and bone mineral density(BMD)and other parameters in 7 regions of proximal femur,including proximal pressure trabecular(PPT),distal pressure trabecular(DPT),femoral head-neck junction(FHNJ),head and neck of femoral neck(HNFN),the base of femoral neck(BPFN),intertrochanteric line(IL)and greater trochanter(GT).Results The bone mineral density of IL and GT were higher than those of BPFN,FHNJ,DPT and PPT.The trabecular thickness of GT was the largest,followed by IL,BPFN and HNFN,and the smallest was FHNJ,DPT and PPT.The trabecular space of IL was larger than that of GT,and the data of both were larger than those of other parts,among which DPT and PPT were the smallest.The trabecular number of IL and GT were the smallest,BPFN,HNFN and FHNJ were larger,and DPT was the largest.The volume fraction of IL was the smallest,BPFN and HNFN were larger,DPT and PPT were the largest.Conclusion The bone density,trabecular thickness,bone volume,and total volume of GT and IL in the proximal femur of elderly patients are all relatively large,so the reason for the high incidence of fractures is not due to weak internal bone microstructure;The bone density,trabecular thickness,and trabecular gap at the proximal and distal ends of the vertical trabecular bone are relatively small.If it is necessary to perform core decompression for prosthesis filling at this location,the design should be conducive to the mechanical conduction of the prosthesis and the regeneration of surrounding bone tissue.

Objective:To construct a nomogram prediction model for predicting the risk of death in patients with sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia (SAT) in intensive care unit (ICU) for early indentification and active intervention.Methods:Clinical data of SAT patients admitted to ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively collected, including demographic data, laboratory indicators, etc. According to the prognosis at 28 days, the patients were divided into the death group and the survival group, and the differences of clinical variables between the two groups were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the independent risk factors influencing mortality of patients within 28 days, then a nomogram predictive model was constructed and its performance was verified with internal data. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of the nomogram model, and the clinical applicability of this model was evaluated by clinical decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:A total of 275 patients were included, with 95 deaths at 28 days and a 28-day mortality of 34.5%. Compared with the survival group, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), lactic acid (Lac), platelet distribution width (PDW) on day 5 of ICU admission, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (TBIL), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), C-reactive protein (CRP) of patients in the death group were higher, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were longer, platelet count (PLT) on day 3 and day 5 of ICU admission, direct bilirubin (DBIL), fibrinogen (FIB) were lower, the history of chronic lung disease, mixed site infection, lung infection, bloodstream infection, Gram-negative bacterial infection and fungal infection accounted for a higher proportion, the history of diabetes mellitus, urinary tract infection and no pathogenic microorganisms cultured accounted for a lower proportion, and the proportion of the use of vasoactive drugs, mechanical ventilation (MV), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), bleeding events and platelet transfusion were higher. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHEⅡ score at the day of ICU admission [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.417, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.153-1.743, P = 0.001], chronic lung disease ( OR = 72.271, 95% CI was 4.475-1?167.126, P = 0.003), PLT on day 5 of ICU admission ( OR = 0.954, 95% CI was 0.922-0.987, P = 0.007), vasoactive drug ( OR = 622.943, 95% CI was 10.060-38?575.340, P = 0.002), MV ( OR = 91.818, 95% CI was 3.973-2?121.966, P = 0.005) were independent risk factors of mortality in SAT patients. The above independent risk factors were used to build a nomogram prediction model, and the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity were 0.979, 94.7% and 91.7%, respectively, suggesting that the model had good discrimination. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed a good calibration with P > 0.05. At the same time, DCA showed that the nomogram model had good clinical applicability. Conclusions:Patients with SAT has a higher risk of death. The nomogram model based on APACHEⅡ score at the day of ICU admission, chronic lung disease, PLT on day 5 of ICU admission, the use of vasoactive drug and MV has good clinical significance for the prediction of 28-day mortality, and the discrimination and calibration are good, however, further verification is needed.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis accounts for a very low percentage of malignant tumors in the renal pelvis and has a poor prognosis. This article reported a patient with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The patient presented with macroscopic hematuria as the first symptom, and CT suggested left renal occupancy, unilateral nephrectomy was performed, and pathology suggested sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis. Three weeks after surgery, a follow-up CT showed tumor recurrence. Programmed death 1(PD-1)inhibitor was given once every 3 weeks. Repeated CT examination after 24 weeks of continuous treatment suggested that the recurrent tumor disappeared. The patients was followed-up for 42 months without tumor recurrence or metastasis.

Amantadine(AMD)residue can accumulate in organisms through the food chain and cause serious harm to human body.AMD can specifically bind to AMD specific aptamer and cause its conformation to change from a random single strand to a stem-loop structure.To avoid the influence of excess nucleotides on binding of aptamer to AMD,the truncation of the AMD original aptamer J was optimized by retaining an appropriate stem-loop structure,and a new type of truncation aptamers was developed in this work.By comparing the truncated aptamer with the original aptamer,it was found that the truncated aptamer J-7 had better affinity and specificity with AMD.The detection limit of AMD was 0.11 ng/mL by using J-7 as specific recognition element and molybdenum disulfide nanosheet(MoS2Ns)as signal amplification element.The developed method base on truncated aptamer J-7 was used for detection of AMD in milk,yogurt and SD rat serum samples for the first time with recoveries of 86.6%-108.2%.This study provided a reference for truncating other long sequence aptamers and provided a more sensitive detection method for monitoring AMD residues in food.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of Amplatzer duct occluder-Ⅱ device(ADO-Ⅱ)in treating ventricular septal detect(VSD)with aortic sinus prolapse(ASP)in child patients.Methods The clinical data of 94 child patients with VSD complicated by ASP,who were admitted to the Hunan Provincial Children's Hospital of China between January 2018 and September 2022,were retrospectively collected.The child patients included 60 males and 34 females with a mean age of(4.7±3.1)years.Mild-moderate ASP was seen in 83 child patients,with a mean(4.12±0.97)mm-sized VSD.Severe ASP was seen in 11 child patients,with a mean(4.95±0.51)mm-sized VSD.Perimembrane VSD was observed in 54 child patients and intracristal VSD in 40 child patients.The relationship of VSD size and degree of ASP to the selection of ADO-Ⅱ,postoperative middle period aortic valve regurgitation and residual leakage was analyzed,so as to clarify the applicability of ADO-Ⅱ to such child patients.Results In the postoperative middle period,6 child patients had mild aortic valve regurgitation,most seen in the child patients who received 4-4 mm or 5-4 mm ADO-occluder;and 10 child patients had residual leakage,mainly seen in the child patients who received 5-4 mm or 6-4 mm occluder.Conclusion In the condition when the ADO-Ⅱ occluder shows satisfactory placement pattern,this treatment is suitable for the child patient having＜6 mm VSD with ASP.Although there are some residual leakage and aortic valve regurgitation after surgery,this interventional therapy still meets the clinical requirements.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:17-21)

Objective:To explore the establishment of a nomographic chart model based on computed tomography(CT)imaging characteristics and clinical data in predicting the recurrence risk of pleomorphic adenoma(PA)of salivary gland.Methods:Clinical and CT imaging data of 99 PA patients admitted to Cangzhou central hospital from November 2019 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and they were divided into recurrence group(15 cases)and non-recurrence group(84 cases)according to whether occurred recurrence.The influence factors of PA recurrence were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression,and the risk prediction model was constructed.The predictive value of the model was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the tumor site was at deep lobe,the capsule of tumor was incomplete and the surrounding tissue of tumor existed invasion were respectively independent risk factors for PA recurrence(OR=79.730,67.194,479.801,P<0.05).The area under curve(AUC)of ROC curve of the risk prediction model based on the above three indexes was 0.960,and the sensitivity and specificity were respectively 80.0%and 97.6%,which were higher than each single index in the model.There was no significant difference between this risk predictive model and actual observation value(x2=0.823,P=0.935).Conclusion:The tumor site is deep lobe,the capsule of tumor is incomplete,and the surrounding tissue of tumor exists invasion are independent risk factors of PA recurrence.The risk prediction model based on the above three indexes has higher predictive value for PA recurrence,which can provide theoretical basis for preventing PA recurrence.
