Objective To analyze the influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and put forward targeted prevention suggestions. Methods The clinical data of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection who were admitted to Chengdu Third People's Hospital from September 2022 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed . According to whether plastic bronchitis occurred, they were divided into plastic group (n=118) and non-plastic group (n=184), and the differences between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistics regression analysis equations were used to analyze the independent influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Results Among the 302 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection , 118 cases were diagnosed with plastic bronchitis. Analysis showed that the children’s age, duration of fever, hospital stay, pleural effusion rate, number of bronchoscopic lavage, allergy history, endoscopic mucosal erosion rate, WBC, NE%, LY%, CRP, LDH, PCT and D-D were the single factors influencing the occurrence of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Binary logistics regression analysis revealed that age (OR=2.137, P=0.033, 95% CI: 1.132-16.603), allergy history （OR=3.028, P=0.014, 95% CI: 1.261-864), NE% (OR=2.395, P=0.031, 95% CI: 1.087-5.274), CRP (OR=3.864, P=0.004, 95% CI: 1.563-3.864), PCT (OR=4.125, P=0.001, 95% CI: 1.793-3.864), and D-D (OR=3.920, P=0.002, 95% CI: 1.632-3.864) were independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection (P<0.05). Conclusion Age, allergy history, NE%, CRP, PCT and D-D are independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection . It is necessary to take clinical intervention measures to reduce the occurrence risk.

Critical care medicine-related treatment is an interdisciplinary and multi-professional process,often leading to secondary or concomitant mental disorders in clinical practice.Currently,there is no consensus on the pharmacological treatment of related mental illnesses in China.The Chinese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine collaborated with the Critical Care Medicine expert group to form a consensus writing expert group.After a systematic review of relevant literature,summarizing published domestic and foreign literature,and extensive discussions,the consensus was developed.The consensus elaborates on the principles and processes of the standardized use of psychotropic drugs in critical care medicine,as well as the clinical indications,precautions,and specific drug selection of various psychiatric medications,providing feasible suggestions and guidance for the clinical application of psychiatric medications in the intensive care unit.

Objective:To investigate the effects of parallel reconstruction with titanium cable fixation and concentric reconstruction with plate fixation in the reconstruction of femoral shaft continuity after resection of malignant tumor.Methods:From September 2013 to December 2017, the data of 11 consecutive patients with thigh malignancies and related complications were retrospectively analyzed, including 10 males and 1 female. The mean age of the 11 patients was 27.1±15.6 years (range, 7-49 years). These case series included 6 cases of primary bone defect reconstruction after resection of femoral shaft malignant tumor, 4 cases of nonunion or allogeneic bone fracture after massive bone allograft for femoral malignant tumor, and 1 case of femoral fracture caused by radiotherapy after resection of thigh soft tissue sarcoma. Vascularized fibular autograft combined with massive bone allograft or devitalized bone graft was used for reconstruction. The patients were divided into two groups according to reconstruction method, namely parallel reconstruction group and concentric reconstruction group. In the parallel reconstruction group, the vascularized fibula was placed on the medial side of the femur and the allograft and fixed with titanium cable. In the concentric reconstruction group, the vascularized fibula was placed in the medullary cavity of the allogeneic bone or devitalized bone and further fixed with the plate and screws.Results:There were 5 patients with 7 allograft-host junctions or fracture were treated with parallel reconstruction. The grafted length of fibula was 15.0±4.3 cm (range, 10-20 cm). The follow-up duration was 33.2±15.6 months (range, 20-53 months). Six patients with 10 allograft-host junctions were treated by concentric reconstruction. The grafted length of fibula was 15.5±2.3 cm (range, 12-18 cm). The follow-up duration was 45.8±15.3 months (range, 22-62 months). There was no significant difference during follow-up between the two groups ( t=1.36, P=0.208). The union rate in parallel reconstruction group was 100% (7/7), and the union duration was 15.9±6.8 months (range, 3-22 months). The union rate in the concentric reconstruction group was 70% (7/10), and the union duration was 18.9±6.4 months (range, 11-30 months). There was no significant difference in the union rate ( P=0.228) or the union duration ( t=0.846, P=0.414) between the two groups. Conclusion:Both parallel reconstruction and concentric reconstruction of vascularized fibular autograft are important methods for reconstruction of femoral shaft continuity after resection of malignant tumor. There might be no significant difference in union rate or union duration between the two methods.

Objective To construct an early warning model of fall risk for the elderly based on six kinds gait parameters. Methods A digital field was used to collect parameters from six kinds of gait for the elderly with or without the history of falls, and the binomial logistic regression analysis was used to establish a regression equation for predicting the fall risks in the elderly, and an early warning model was constructed. Results The regression equations constructed according to the parameters from six kinds of gait were statistically significant. The overall correct rate was predicted from high to low: walking forward with closed eyes (97.1%), walking backward with open eyes (92.9%), walking backward with closed eyes (88.6%), walking forward with open eyes (87.1%), turning head up and down with open eyes (85.7%), turning head left and right with open eyes(82.9%). The constructed early warning model for fall risk of the elderly mainly included five steps, namely, judgment, test, extraction, calculation and early warning, which was suitable for gait testing and evaluation of the elderly in the laboratory. Conclusions Parameters from six kinds of gait could predict the fall risk of the elderly. Among them, walking forward with closed eyes was best to predict the fall risk in the elderly. The established early warning model of fall risk for the elderly could be used to predict the fall risk of 65-75 year old people within one year, which could provide early warning based on the probability of falling, playing a positive effect on preventing falls in the elderly.

Objective:To explore the utility of the muscle redistribution technique (MRT) in the signal recognition of an intelligent bionic prosthesis.Methods:Between December 2016 and April 2017, 4 male patients were treated with muscle redistribution procedures. Among them, 3 were upper limb amputees of the distal 1/3 of the forearm, at the carpometacarpal joint and at the midcarpal joint. One was a lower limb amputee at the distal 1/3 of the lower leg. In each case, 4-6 muscles and tendons in the stump were transferred and the tendons were anchored in different areas of the skin. When the muscle contracted actively, the tendon pulled the skin, resulting in obvious deformation of the skin in different areas. The skin′s deformation, capacitance signal data and postoperative complications were used as indicators in the evaluations. To measure the capacitance signals the patients were asked to grip, flex and extend the wrist, and flex and extend the fingers , or dorsi- and plantar-flex the ankle, and flex and extend the toes. With the help of capacitance sensors the limb′s deformation was analyzed.Results:Three months after the surgery the patients were able to actively control contraction of the transferred muscle and produce skin deformation. At the final follow-up, the effective deformation rate was 80% (16/20). Two kinds of classifiers were identified by linear discriminant analysis and quadratic discriminant analysis. In the upper limb, the overall recognition accuracies were 97.27% and 100% respectively, and the recognition accuracy of each action was 100%. In the lower limb, the overall recognition accuracies were 95.32% and 100%, and the recognition accuracy of each action was again 100%. In one case wound healing was delayed and several dressing changes were required.Conclusions:MRT can effectively output motion intentions and increase the number and intensity of motion signals. The procedure provides a novel way for better control of intelligent bionic prostheses.

Objective:To explore the influence of lateral patellofemoral joint degeneration on the treatment of anteromedial osteoarthritis of knee joint by Oxford medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.Methods:The clinical data of 73 patients (73 knees) with knee osteoarthritis underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2016 to December 2017 were analysed respectively.There were 18 males and 55 females, aged (68.6±7.5) years(range: 53 to 89 years).The lateral patellofemoral joints of patients were evaluated by Ahlback grading system. Patients with Ahlback 0 andⅠ were in the non degenerative group (37 cases), and those with Ahlback Ⅱ and above were in the degenerative group (36 cases). Hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC) osteoarthritis index, as well as the condition of kneeling, sit to stand movement, up stair and down stair were recorded. The data before and after operation were compared by paired sample t test, and the data between groups were compared by independent sample t test. χ 2 test was used for counting data. Pearson correlation analysis was used to compare the correlation between ahlback score, HSS and WOMAC osteoarthritis index. Results:The follow-up time was (35.1±6.6) months (range: 25 to 47 months).The knee function of the patients improved significantly after operation.The HSS score increased from 57.7±11.8 preoperative to 81.8±7.8 postoperative ( t=16.64, P=0.00) and WOMAC osteoarthritis index decreased from 48.9±13.4 preoperative to 15.6±8.8 postoperative ( t=20.48, P=0.00). There was no statistical difference in the change of HSS between the degenerative group and the non-degenerative group before and after surgery(27.5±12.2 vs. 22.5±12.3, t=-1.65, P=0.10) as well as the change of WOMAC osteoarthritis index(31.8±14.0 vs. 36.4±13.7, t=-1.35, P=0.18), but the lateral patellofemoral joint degeneration was related to inability to complete squats (χ 2=5.17, P=0.04) and sitting up (χ 2=7.22, P=0.01). Conclusion:The degeneration of lateral patellofemoral joint has no effect on the early functional recovery of patients with anteromedial knee osteoarthritis after Oxford medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Objective To compare the fascia iliaca compartment block versus femoral nerve 3-in-1 block for postoperative analgesia in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery.Methods A total of 160 patients with hip fracture,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,aged 70-101 yr,weighing 30-93 kg,scheduled for elective total hip replacement or artificial femoral head replacement under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n =80 each) using a random number table:fascia iliaca compartment block group (FIB group) and femoral nerve 3-in-1 block group (FNB group).Ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment and 3-in-1 blocks were performed with 0.2％ ropivacaine 40 ml in FIB and FNB groups,respectively.Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with 0.2％ ropivacaine 275 ml was used for postoperative analgesia until 72 h after operation in both groups.The PCA pump was set up with a 5 ml bolus dose,a 60 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 5 ml/h,and the visual analog scale score was maintained≤4.When the visual analog scale score＞4,tramadol 50-100 mg was taken orally or injected intramuscularly for rescue analgesia.Before implanting the catheter,at 15 min after the initial administration and at 12 h after operation,temperature sensation and light touch sensation tests were performed in the anterior regions of thigh (innervated by femoral nerve),lateral region of thigh (innervated by lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) and superior part of the anterior region of thigh (innervated by obturator nerve).Successful sensory block was defined as the occurrence of a decline in temperature sensation or in light touch sensation in any area,and the successful sensory block was recorded.The requirement for rescue analgesia and patient's satisfaction with analgesia were recorded within 72 h after operation.The development of adverse reactions such as nerve damage,nausea and vomiting,dizziness and palpitation was also recorded within 48 h after operation.Results Compared with group FIB,the rate of successful analgesia in lateral thigh area was significantly decreased at 15 min after the initial adminstration and 12 h after operation,the requirement for rescue analgesia after operation was increased,the rate of satisfactory analgesia after operation was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting or dizziness in group FNB (P＞0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided continuous fascia iliaca compartment block provides better efficacy for postoperative analgesia than 3-in-1 block in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery.
