Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective:To analyze the association between inflammation-related dietary patterns and the risk for cognitive impairment in older adults aged ≥65 years in longevity areas in China by using reduced rank regression (RRR) analysis.Methods:This study used cross-sectional data from the 2021 Healthy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study, including the information about study participants' demographic characteristics, lifestyles, daily life activities, and disease histories. Dietary intake was obtained by using a simplified food frequency questionnaire. Cognitive impairment was evaluated based on the Mini-Mental State Examination Scale combined with years of education. Fasting venous blood samples were collected to detect inflammatory markers, especially high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). RRR analysis was used to obtain inflammation-related dietary patterns using hs-CRP and PLR as response variables. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between dietary pattern score and the risk for cognitive impairment. Restricted cubic spline was used to explore the dose response relationship, and mediation analysis was used to quantify the mediating effects of hs-CRP and PLR.Results:Two dietary patterns were identified with RRR. The primary pattern was characterized by higher intakes of flour, red meat, and dairy products, and lower intake of fresh vegetables, explaining 6.84% of the variance in food intake and 0.50% of the variance in inflammatory markers. Compared with the T1 group, the T3 group had significantly higher risk for cognitive impairment ( OR=1.242, 95% CI: 1.034-1.491). Each one standard deviation increase in the dietary pattern score was associated with an 8.7% increase in the risk for cognitive impairment ( OR=1.087, 95% CI: 1.008-1.172), with a significant linear trend (overall-model P<0.001, non-linear P=0.295). Mediation analysis indicated that hs-CRP mediated 6.2% of the association between the dietary pattern and the risk for cognitive impairment. Conclusion:The inflammation- related dietary pattern characterized by higher consumption of flour, red meat, and dairy products and lower consumption of fresh vegetables is associated with an increased risk for cognitive impairment in older adults, and hs-CRP partially mediates this association.

BACKGROUND:Compensatory changes in sagittal parameters of the cervicothoracic spine after orthopedic surgery in patients with lumbar degenerative scoliosis and their intrinsic relationship,as well as the impact of these changes on quality of life,are still lacking.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the compensatory alignment of cervical and thoracic vertebrae after correction of lumbar degenerative scoliosis.METHODS:103 patients who underwent surgical correction of lumbar degenerative scoliosis were included in this study.Patients'demographic characteristics and spinal sagittal parameters were assessed,and prediction equations between changes in cervical sagittal parameters and lumbar deformity correction were attempted.Simultaneously,the SRS-22 scale was used to assess the quality of life of patients and to explore the relationship between the compensatory changes of the cervical and thoracic spine after correction and the patients'health-related quality of life.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)At 3 months and 2 years after surgery,all indicators of the cervical spine and thoracic spine were significantly improved compared with those before surgery(P＜0.05),but there was no significant change at 3 months after surgery compared with 2 years after surgery(P＞0.05).At 3 months and 2 years after surgery,the lumbar spine parameters including lumbar lordosis,C7-S1 sagittal vertical axis,and pelvic incident-lumbar lordosis had significant changes compared with those before surgery(P＜0.05),but the change was not significant at 3 months after surgery compared with 2 years after surgery(P＞0.05).(2)Correlation analysis showed that the lumbar lordosis was highly correlated with the C3-C7 cervical lordosis,C1-C7 cervical lordosis,C2-7 sagittal vertical axis,thoracic inlet angle,and C7-S1 sagittal vertical axis(|r|≥ 0.5,P＜0.000 1).The lumbar lordosis was correlated with the thoracic kyphosis(r=-0.280).(3)Two prediction formulas were established for compensatory changes in cervical spine:cervical lordosis=0.524x,lumbar lordosis=-6.612,C2-7 sagittal vertical axis=-0.263x,and lumbar lordosis=-5.436(P＜0.05,R2＞0.6).(4)When postoperative C2-7 sagittal vertical axis was between 14.4 and 26.8 mm;cervical lordosis was between 9° and 41°,lumbar lordosis was between 42.7° and 68.7°,and sagittal vertical axis was between-40 and 40 mm,patients had better quality of life recovery.(5)It is indicated that significant compensatory changes in the sagittal plane of the cervical spine can be observed after correction of lumbar degenerative scoliosis.We found that each 1° increase in lumbar lordosis was associated with a corresponding increase of about 0.5° in cervical lordosis and a corresponding decrease of about 0.3 mm in the vertical axis of the C2-7 sagittal plane.Patient satisfaction was higher if compensatory changes were closer to normal sagittal plane.

Objective:To evaluate the advantages and short-term clinical effects of totally robotic Nissen 360° fundoplication compared with laparoscopic surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data of 110 patients undergoing Nissen 360° fundoplication at the Second Department of General Surgery, Yan'an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University from Aug 2023 to Aug 2024. Among them, 50 cases underwent totally robotic fundoplication, and 60 cases underwent laparoscopic fundoplication. By comparing and analyzing the fatigue level of the primary surgeon during the operations, postoperative incisional pain in patients, swallowing function recovery and the time to resume a normal solid-food diet within 3 months post-surgery, the advantages of totally robotic surgery were evaluated. Additionally, by examining the postoperative recovery of reflux symptoms, postoperative patient comfort, and satisfaction levels in both groups, the short-term clinical outcomes of totally robotic surgery were assessed.Results:Both groups of patients successfully completed the surgeries without any intraoperative or postoperative complications occurring. The fatigue score of the primary surgeon in the totally robotic group was significantly better than that in the laparoscopic group[ (2.34±1.38) vs. (2.89±1.51), t=1.385, P<0.01]. The time taken to resume a normal solid-food diet postoperatively in the totally robotic group was significantly shorter than that in the laparoscopic group[ (27.90±6.77) d vs. (40.78±13.60) d, t =5.765, P<0.01]. Moreover, the postoperative pain comfort level was better in the robotic group than in the laparoscopic group [(1.65±0.72) points vs. (2.23±0.59) points, t=3.742, P<0.01]. Within 12 months postoperatively, the GERD-Q scores in the totally robotic group decreased significantly, and reflux symptoms disappeared, comparable to that in the laparoscopic group. Conclusions:The totally robotic Nissen 360° fundoplication leads to lower fatigue levels for the surgeon. Patients experience significant advantages in terms of postoperative pain perception and dietary recovery. Additionally, it demonstrates excellent postoperative anti-reflux efficacy, high patient comfort, and the surgery is safe and reliable.

Objective: To investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of sodium pyruvate (SP) on RBC storage lesions using an oxidative damage model. Methods: Six units of leukocyte-depleted suspended RBCs (discarded for non-infectious reasons within three days post-collection) were randomly assigned to four groups: negative control (NS), positive control (PS), experimental group 1 (SP1), and experimental group 2 (SP2). Oxidative stress was induced in the PS group by the addition of hydrogen peroxide (H O ), while SP1 and SP2 received SP supplementation at different concentrations (25 mM and 50 mM, respectively) in the presence of H O . After 1 hour of incubation, RBC morphology was assessed microscopically, and biochemical indicators including glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), methemoglobin (MetHb), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and Na /K -ATPase activity were measured. Results: RBCs in the PS group exhibited pronounced morphological damage, including cell shrinkage and echinocyte formation, whereas both SP-treated groups showed significantly reduced structural injury. SP treatment led to elevated GSH levels and decreased concentrations of MDA and MetHb, suggesting attenuation of oxidative stress. Additionally, SP enhanced intracellular ATP levels and Na /K -ATPase activity, thereby contributing to membrane stability. Notably, the SP2 group (50 mM) demonstrated superior protective effects compared to SP1 (25 mM). Conclusion: Sodium pyruvate effectively attenuates oxidative storage lesions in RBCs, primarily through its antioxidant properties, energy metabolism supporting ability, and celluar membrane stabilizing function. These findings suggest SP as a promising additive for enhancing the quality and safety of stored RBCs.
