Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To compare the anterior long-segment fixation, posterior long-segment fixation, and combined anterior-posterior fixation in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis with cervical fracture (ASCF).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 153 patients with ASCF who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics, Peking University Third Hospital and Department of Orthopedics, Luoche Central Hospital between January 2014 and December 2023. The cohort included 86 males and 67 females, with an age of (41.6±11.5) years, a disease duration of (10.0±3.9) years, and an interval from injury to surgery of (3.3±1.4) d. By Frankel's classification for preoperative nerve injury, 57 cases were grade B, 51 grade C, and 45 grade D. Based on the surgical approaches, the patients were divided into 3 groups: an anterior group ( n=63) undergoing the anterior cervical long-segment fixation, a posterior group ( n=51) undergoing the posterior cervical long-segment fixation, and a combination group ( n=39) undergoing combined anterior-posterior cervical fixation. Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing, complications, and changes in Frankel grading for spinal cord injury were compared among the 3 groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data among the 3 groups, indicating comparability ( P > 0.05). All patients were followed up for (33.5±12.0) months after surgery. In the anterior group, the surgical time [(103.0±16.8) min] was significantly shorter than that in the posterior group [(148.4±17.7) min] and that in the combination group [(228.5±23.9) min], the intraoperative blood loss [(92.8±27.8) mL] was significantly less than that in the posterior group [(477.5±109.5) mL] and that in the combination group [(769.5±136.9) mL], and the incidence of complications [9.5% (6/63)] was significantly lower than that in the posterior group [41.2% (21/51)] and that in the combination group [53.8% (21/39)] (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the fracture healing time among the 3 groups ( P=0.111). At the last follow-up, X-ray and CT scans showed no loosening or breakage of internal fixation in all the 3 groups. The Frankel grading at the last follow-up: 12 cases of grade C, 15 cases of grade D, and 36 cases of grade E in the anterior group; 3 cases of grade B, 12 cases of grade C, 12 cases of grade D, and 24 cases of grade E in the posterior group; 6 cases of grade C, 12 cases of grade D, and 21 cases of grade E in the combination group. At the last follow-up, all patients showed a significant improvement compared to their Frankel grades before surgery ( P<0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference between the 3 groups ( H=2.238, P=0.327). Conclusions:In the treatment of ASCF, anterior long-segment fixation is advantageous over posterior long-segment fixation and combined anteri-or-posterior fixation due to its shorter surgical time, reduced intraoperative blood loss, and a lower complication incidence. All the 3 surgical approaches demonstrate comparable outcomes in terms of fracture healing time, radiographic stability, and final neurological recovery.

Objective:To analyze the equality of health resource allocation in functional areas of Beijing from 2012 to 2022, so as to provide reference for optimizing the allocation of health resources during the 14th Five-Year Plan and long-term planning.Methods:According to the new urban master plan and the functional positioning of the capital, 16 districts in Beijing were divided into 4 functional regions(capital core area, urban functional expansion area, urban development new area, and ecological conservation area). Based on the analysis of permanent population, the levels of health resources in each region and each administrative district were compared, and the equity of health resources was measured by using the Dagum Gini coefficient.Results:In 2022, the Gini coefficients of medical and health resources in Beijing, including the number of beds, number of health technicians, and number of practicing(assistant) physicians, were 0.71, 0.65, and 0.63, respectively, with no significant change compared to 2012. While the Gini coefficient for equipment priced over 10 000 yuan was 0.75, slightly lower than 0.79 in 2012. The differences in resource allocation mainly came from different regions. The Gini coefficient of the above four indicators in the urban functional expansion area was the lowest, followed by the capital core area, and the Gini coefficient of the ecological conservation area was the highest. The Dagum Gini coefficient of the four indicators of urban development new area showed a decreasing trend year by year.Conclusions:In recent years, there has been no significant change in the overall equality of medical and health resource allocation in Beijing. Only the Gini coefficient of urban development new area has shown a downward trend. It is necessary to further promote the fair and reasonable allocation of medical and health resources among functional areas in Beijing.

Purpose::Vibrio vulnificus ( V. Vulnificus) infection is characterized by rapid onset, aggressive progression, and challenging treatment. Bacterial resistance poses a significant challenge for clinical anti-infection treatment and is thus the subject of research. Enhancing host infection tolerance represents a novel infection prevention strategy to improve patient survival. Our team initially identified cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) as an important target owing to its negative modulation of the body's infection tolerance. This study explored the superior effects of the CYP1A1 inhibitor bergamottin compared to antibiotic combination therapy on the survival of mice infected with multidrug-resistant V. Vulnificus and the protection of their vital organs. Methods::An increasing concentration gradient method was used to induce multidrug-resistant V. Vulnificus development. We established a lethal infection model in C57BL/6J male mice and evaluated the effect of bergamottin on mouse survival. A mild infection model was established in C57BL/6J male mice, and the serum levels of creatinine, urea nitrogen, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the effect of bergamottin on liver and kidney function. The morphological changes induced in the presence of bergamottin in mouse organs were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining of liver and kidney tissues. The bacterial growth curve and organ load determination were used to evaluate whether bergamottin has a direct antibacterial effect on multidrug-resistant V. Vulnificus. Quantification of inflammatory factors in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the expression levels of inflammatory factors in liver and kidney tissues by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed to evaluate the effect of bergamottin on inflammatory factor levels. Western blot analysis of IκBα, phosphorylated IκBα, p65, and phosphorylated p65 protein expression in liver and kidney tissues and in human hepatocellular carcinomas-2 and human kidney-2 cell lines was used to evaluate the effect of bergamottin on the nuclear factor kappa-B signaling pathway. One-way ANOVA and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results::In mice infected with multidrug-resistant V. Vulnificus, bergamottin prolonged survival ( p = 0.014), reduced the serum creatinine ( p = 0.002), urea nitrogen ( p = 0.030), aspartate aminotransferase ( p = 0.029), and alanine aminotransferase ( p = 0.003) levels, and protected the cellular morphology of liver and kidney tissues. Bergamottin inhibited interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α expression in serum (IL-1β: p = 0.010, IL-6: p = 0.029, TNF-α: p = 0.025) and inhibited the protein expression of the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α in liver (IL-1β: p = 0.010, IL-6: p = 0.011, TNF-α: p = 0.037) and kidney (IL-1β: p = 0.016, IL-6: p = 0.011, TNF-α: p = 0.008) tissues. Bergamottin did not affect the proliferation of multidrug-resistant V. Vulnificus or the bacterial load in the mouse peritoneal lavage fluid ( p = 0.225), liver ( p = 0.186), or kidney ( p = 0.637). Conclusion::Bergamottin enhances the tolerance of mice to multidrug-resistant V. Vulnificus infection. This study can serve as a reference and guide the development of novel clinical treatment strategies for V. Vulnificus.

Objective:To predict the gastrointestinal side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs using healthy murine colon organoids.It aimed to identify safer alternative treatments for patients intolerant to certain chemotherapy regimens and demonstrate the potential clinical ap-plications of organoids in predicting gastrointestinal side effects.Methods:Healthy mouse colonic crypt cells were cultured in 3D.Paraffin sections of colon tissues and organoids were subsequently prepared,followed by haematoxylin and eosinand immunohistochemical staining(CDX2,Ki67,and CK19).The colonic organoids were treated with five chemotherapeutic drugs,and cell activity was assessed to determine their intestinal toxicity.The consistency of the incidence of gastrointestinal side effects observed in this study and in clinical practice were analyzed by comparing the results to the published literature.Results:The histological characteristics of the colon organoids were highly consistent with those of the original colon tissues.The tolerance of normal colon organoids to different chemotherapeutic drugs was vari-able.Capecitabine had the least cytotoxic effect on mouse colon organoids,whereas paclitaxel liposomes showed the strongest cytotoxic ef-fect when IC50 was the only consideration.Considering clinical drug concentrations,a significant difference was observed in the organoid in-hibition rates between albumin paclitaxel and liposomal paclitaxel.Statistical analysis of clinical trial data showed that the incidence of gradeⅢ/Ⅳ diarrhea caused by albumin paclitaxel,epirubicin,capecitabine,and cyclophosphamide was consistent with the corresponding or-ganoid inhibition rates.Conclusions:Combining clinical drug doses,we recommend prioritizing albumin paclitaxel and avoiding the use of liposomal paclitaxel to improve chemotherapy tolerance.This study demonstrates that normal colon organoids can effectively predict the occurrence of severe diarrhea associated with most chemotherapeutic drugs.
