Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

This study investigated the drug resistance and genetic relationships among strains co-existing in animals,the environ-ment,and the living quarters of employees at large-scale pig farms in certain regions of Shandong Province,to provide a scientific ba-sis for elucidating the transmission mechanisms of drug-resistant bacteria through bacterial traceability analysis.Samples were col-lected from two pig farms,and bacteria were isolated and purified.The species of the isolated strains were identified via 16S rRNA gene sequencing.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted with a VITEK-2 Compact system and the disk diffusion method for strains present in pigs,the environment,and living areas.Furthermore,whole-genome sequencing was performed on the Illumina Miniseq platform to annotate drug resistance genes,and multilocus sequence typing(MLST)and core genome single nucleotide poly-morphism(cgSNP)analyses were used to trace the resistant strains.Three species—Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Bacillus cereus—were isolated and cultured from animals,the environment,and employee living areas,and their distributions were analyzed.These strains exhibited diverse drug resistance spectra and genetic diversity.Additionally,the strains displayed highly consistent resistance profiles,resistance genes,ST types,and SNP loci in pig urine,soil both inside and outside the facility,human drinking water,and the cafeteria and dormitories.Our findings indicated a potential risk of transmission of opportunistic pathogens be-tween the pig farming area and the living quarters.Particular attention should be paid to the environmental transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Tricuspid regurgitation(TR)is a common heart valve disease.According to the pathogenesis,TR can be divided into primary(organic)and secondary(functional)regurgitation,of which functional TR accounts for more than 90%.Patients with severe TR have poor prognosis and poor drug treatment,and surgery(valvuloplasty)is the main treatment.At present,transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair(T-TEER)has become an essential program of transcatheter treatment for TR,providing minimally invasive treatment for TR patients who cannot undergo surgery or are at high risk of surgery.T-TEER reduces the degree of regurgitation by clamping leaflets,and is currently in the early stage of research and development exploration and clinical validation,mainly for functional TR.T-TEER devices have also made significant progress(TriClip,PASCAL),and Chinese-made novel-designed T-TEER devices are also undergoing clinical trials(DragonFly-TTM,SQ-Kyrin-TTM,NeoBlazarTM).This paper reviews the current applications and research progress of T-TEER.

Objective To establish a method for testing isolated mitral valve in vitro and quantitatively evaluate the effect of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair technology(TEER)on functional mitral regurgitation(FMR)(non-A2-P2 regurgitation).Methods In this study,an FMR(non-A2-P2 regurgitation)model was developed by dilating the annulus orifice and displacing the papillary muscle in isolated porcine mitral valve.The hydrodynamics characteristics of 6 valves were tested by a pulsatile flow testing system under different physiological and pathological conditions before and after TEER.Results The results show that the valve regurgitation improved from moderate-severe[regurgitant fraction(60.2±17.5)％]to mild-moderate[regurgitant fraction(34.7±12.0)％]by repair(P＜0.001).The EOA[(3.8±1.6)cm2 vs.(2.2±0.5)cm2,P＜0.001]and the forward cross valve pressure difference[(1.8±1.3)mmHg vs.(3.8± 1.8)mmHg,P＜0.001],which characterize the forward flow performance of the valve,were compared before and after repair,and the differences were statistically significant.At the same time,the repair caused valve stenosis(the effective orifice area decreased by 40％and the positive differential pressure increased by 110％),but the valves was still within the normal physiological range,and no iatrogenic stenosis was caused.Conclusions It can be seen that TEER has an effect on FMR.This study provides validation and evaluation methods in vitro for expanding indications and improving TEER,and reference for developing standards of transcatheter valve repair testing in vitro.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)is currently one of the main therapeutic strategies for aortic valve disease.Preoperative imaging assessment is crucial for operation project planning and prevention of procedure-associated complications.Different from planar image reconstruction,3D printing technology can accurately depict the anatomical structure of the aortic root.It enables further assessment of operative risk and therapeutic strategy through in vitro simulation,especially for assessing the risk of coronary artery obstruction and planning interventional procedures.Here,we report on two patients who underwent a 3D printing aortic root anatomical simulation model,followed an by in vitro balloon dilatation/valve implantation test,to evaluate the risk of coronary artery obstruction suggested by CT angiography planar image reconstruction before TAVR.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the ultra-fast track anesthesia(UFTA)methods and perioperative anesthesia management experiences of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair(TEER)in the treatment of functional mitral regurgitant.Methods In this retrospective study,patients underwent the TEER procedure and received UFTA in Fuwai Yunnan Hospital,from May 2022 to September 2022 for heart failure combined with moderate to severe or severe functional mitral regurgitant were included.Baseline,preoperative complications,cardial function and anesthesia classification,amino-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),ultrasound examination results,surgery time,extubation time,intraoperative anesthetic and vasoactive drug,complications related to TEER and UFTA,perioperative,and postoperative 30-day and one-year follow-up data were collected.All perioperative clinical data were recorded and analyzed.Results A total of 30 patients were enrolled,11 patients(36.7％)were female,mean age was(63.6±6.1)years,NYHA classification IV 14 patients(46.7％),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)(36.0±8.1)％,the end-diastolic volume of the left ventricle(66.0±8.2)mm,mitral regurgitation 4+14 patients(56.7％),3+17 patients(43.3％),NT-proBNP(1 934.1±1 973.5)pg/ml,1 patient(3.3％)used high-dose vasoactive drugs during surgery.All patients did not experience nausea,vomiting,delirium,respiratory depression,perioperative transesophageal echocardiography-related gastrointestinal bleeding,pericardial effusion,cerebrovascular accidents,emergency surgery or secondary intervention,or other serious adverse events within 24 hours after surgery.No 30-day all-cause death occurred;the mean postoperative hospital stay was(7.4±2.8)days.All patients completed one-year follow-up,LVEF(37.6±11.1)％,the end-diastolic volume of the left ventricle(63.2±8.6)mm,mitral regurgitation 2+7 patients(23.3％),1+23 patients(76.7％),NT-proBNP(1 949.2±2 576.6)pg/ml.Conclusions Ultra-fast track anesthesia can be safely applied to TEER in treating functional mitral regurgitant patients.
