Background: En bloc resection is recommended for the treatment of malignant and aggressive benign spinal tumors; however, it often requires a combined anterior-posterior approach, which is usually accompanied by longer surgical duration, increased blood loss, larger trauma, and surgical complexity. The present study describes a novel rotation-reversion technique for en bloc resection of the thoracic and upper lumbar spinal tumors using a posterior-only approach and evaluate its safety and efficacy. Methods: Thirteen patients with thoracic and upper lumbar (L1-L3) spinal tumors were treated with en bloc resection using the rotation-reversion technique through a posterior-only approach at our institution between 2015 and 2023. The clinical characteristics and surgical results of the patients were reviewed and analyzed. Results: Posterior-only en bloc resection was performed successfully in all 13 patients using the rotation-reversion technique, with a median follow-up of 30.4 months (range, 6–74 months). The average maximum size of these 13 tumors was 5.7 × 5.8 × 4.8 cm.The mean operation time and blood loss were 458.5 minutes (range, 220–880 minutes) and 3,146.2 mL (range, 1,000–6,000 mL), respectively, with 4 of the 13 patients (30.8%) experiencing perioperative complications. Negative margins were achieved in all the 13 patients (100%). One patient experienced local recurrence (7.7%) and 1 patient experienced instrumentation failures. Interbody fusion was confirmed in 11 of the 13 patients (84.6%), with a median fusion time of 6.9 months. All of the 13 patients experienced varying degrees of mild postoperative neurological deficits owing to resection of the nerve roots affected by tumor invasion of the vertebrae. No vessel injury or postoperative neurological paralysis occurred, except 1 patient who had been completely paralyzed before surgery. Conclusions The rotation-reversion technique is an effective procedure for en bloc resection of selected thoracic and upper lumbar spinal tumors through the posterior-only approach.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of total hip arthroplasty(THA)with and without femoral osteotomy in Crowe Ⅳ developmental hip dislocation(DDH).Methods The data on 46 patients who underwent THA for unilateral Crowe ⅣDDH between 2012 and 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into two groups according to the different surgical methods.There were 24 patients in the osteotomy group,3 males and 21 females,with an average age of(47.3±9.0)years old ranged from 34 to 57 years old;and 22 patients in the non-osteotomy group,2 males and 20 females,with an average age of(51.6±8.3)years old ranged from 40 to 61 years old.The operative time,bleed loss,postoperative drainage volume,postoperative com-plications,ROM of hip,Harris hip score,limb length discrepancy(LLD),and radiological data were recorded.The femoral dislo-cation height and the implantation depth of sleeve were measured.Results All patients were followed up.The mean follow-up time was(3.8±1.2)years ranged from 2 to 6 years in the osteotomy group and(3.2±0.9)years ranged from 1 to 5 years in the non-os-teotomy group.The operative time(136.8±18.9)min,bleed loss(709.8±89.4)ml,postoperative drainage volume(308.8±98.2)ml of osteotomy group were all significantly greater than those of non-osteotomy group(100.7±15.8)min,(516.5±103.3)ml,(245.3±79.3)ml(P＜0.05).The Harris score at the latest follow up was significantly increased compared with preoperative score in two groups(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).The LLD at last follow up was sig-nificantly increased compared with preoperative LLD in two groups,the LLD in non-osteotomy group(0.7±0.2)cm showed signif-cant smaller than the two osteotomy group(1.2±0.4)cm.Between osteotomy and non-osteotomy groups,the preoperative range of motion of hip joint[(89.5±19.7)°vs(102.5±16.8)°],the preoperative height of dislocation of femoral head[(4.56±0.61)cm vs(3.10±0.73)cm],the proximal implant depth of S-ROM[(0.93±0.36)cm vs(1.67±0.28)cm]was significantly different(P＜0.05).Eleven patients in the osteotomy group still had claudication,and 4 patients in the non-osteotomy group had mild claudica-tion(P＜0.05).In non-osteotomy group,3 patients developed nerve injury(1 patient of sciatic nerve,2 patients of femoral nerve)and 1 case developed periprosthetic fracture.In osteotomy group,2 case of dislocation and 2 cases of periprosthetic fractures.Conclusion Whether osteotomy or not can achieve satisfactory results for treating Crowe type Ⅳ DDH and significantly improve LLD.However,osteotomy is more complex and time-consuming,limb length difference is greater,and the incidence of claudica-tion is higher.Furthermore,patients with smaller preoperative hip mobility,higher femoral dislocation,limb lengthening≥4 cm and severely narrow femoral proximal canals are prone to be peformed with subtrochanteric osteotomy.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of brain dynamic activity in patients with schizophrenia by using functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI).Methods:Forty-three patients with schizophrenia and 31 normal controls were recruited and under fMRI scanning.The Positive and Negative Symptom Scale(PANS)was used to assess the severity of clinical symptoms.The DPABI software were used to compute dReHo and dFC.Granger causality analysis was used to calculate the effective connectivity between the significant brain regions of dReHo and the whole brain.Two sample t-test was performed to compare the difference of dReHo and dFC be-tween patients with schizophrenia and normal controls.Results:The dReHo of left postcentral gyrus(LPG)(P＜0.01,cluster-level FWE corrected)in patients with schizophrenia was decreased.The Dfc was increased between left postcentral and left middle frontal gyrus,left superior medial frontal gyrus,right calcarine,left medial cingulum gyrus,right supplementary motor area(P＜0.01,uncorrected).Compared with normal controls,patients with schiz-ophrenia showed decreased effective connectivity from LPG to right putamen.Conclusion:It suggests that the ab-normal functional activity of the postcentral gyrus mightcontribute to the neural physiopathology in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective:To evaluate and screen the regimens of tigecycline intraventricular injection in extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB) intracranial infection based on Monte Carlo simulation and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model.Methods:Nine patients with XDRAB intracranial infection confirmed as having susceptibility to tigecycline or polymyxin antimicrobials from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023 were screened from electronic medical record system in Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University. WHONET software was used to extract pathogen susceptibility data isolated from cerebrospinal fluid samples. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of tigecycline against XDRAB was analyzed by drug susceptibility test; different regimens for intraventricular tigecycline injection were designed based on MIC: 2 mg/12 h, 3 mg/12 h, 4 mg/12 h, 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h, with drug concentration of 0.5 mg/mL or 1.0 mg/mL once a day. Target value of PK/PD index was set as ?C max/MIC≥8; Monte Carlo was used to simulate the compliance of PK/PD index of tigecycline with different MIC against XDRAB for different dosed regimens (probability of target attainment [PTA] and cumulative fraction of response [CFR]); the best regiment was selected (screening basis: PTA≥90% or CFR≥90%). Results:(1) A total of 27 strains of pathogenic bacteria from 9 patients were extracted from drug susceptibility test, in which MIC of tigecycline against XDRAB was 55.56% for 2 mg/L, 25.93% for 4 mg/L, and 18.52% for 8 mg/L. (2) When the drug concentration was 0.5 mg/mL or 1.0 mg/mL, respectively, all 6 regimens had PTA>90% at 2 mg/L MIC; 5 regimens, except for 2 mg/12 h, had PTA>90% at 4 mg/L MIC; regimens of 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h could achieve PTA>90% at 8 mg/L MIC. (3) When the drug concentration was 0.5 mg/mL, regimens of 4 mg/12 h, 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h could achieve CFR>90%; when the drug concentration was 1 mg/mL, regimens of 4 mg/12 h, 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h could achieve CFR>92%.Conclusion:In intraventricular tigecycline injection for XDRAB intracranial infection, 2 mg/12 h regimen is available in 2 mg/L MIC, 3 mg/12 h regimen is available in 4 mg/L MIC, and 5 mg/12 h regimen is available in 8 mg/L MIC, with either 0.5 mg/mL or 1 mg/mL concentration.

The aim of this consensus is to propose standardise the treatment protocols for limb replantation for children therefore to serve as a reference for clinical practitioners in medical practices, and further improve the treatment and care for the traumatic limb amputations in children.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of autologous bilateral auricular concha cartilage-modified scaffolds in rhinoplasty.Methods:Retrospectively, 219 patients aged (28.7±5.5) years, 8 males and 211 females, who underwent rhinoplasty at the An Beili Medical Beauty Clinic in Shimen County, Changde City, Hunan Province, from January 2020 to January 2022, were included. Every patient consented to apply modified scaffolds of autologous bilateral auricular concha cartilage for rhinoplasty; 157 received primary rhinoplasty and 62 underwent secondary rhinoplasty repair. To construct the nasal tip morphology, bilateral auricular concha cartilage was excised, symmetrically divided and aligned sutures to form nasal columellar support grafts and anti-tip rotation grafts. Thermoplastic splints and tape were used to fix the dorsum of the nose, and tumescent sponges to fill the nasal cavity. Prophylactic antibiotics were routinely administered after surgery for 48 hours, and depending on how well the wound healed, the stitches were taken out 8 to 10 days later.Results:A local infiltration anesthetic was used throughout the procedure on all 219 patients. The majority of patients had a willow-shaped prosthesis constructed for the dorsum of their noses. A total of 145 patients had silicone prostheses, and 74 patients had expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prostheses. The mean operating duration was (72.92±13.26) minutes. Within 8 to 10 days after surgery, all patients had their sutures taken out, the surgical incisions healed properly, and all 219 patients were satisfied with their nasal appearance in the immediate postoperative period. The nasal tip height was elevated by an average of (4.7±0.5) mm, and the nasal length was extended by an average of (5.7±0.6) mm over the mean follow-up of (14±2) months. Among 219 patients, 96.8% (212/219) of the patients expressed satisfaction with the form of their noses. The postoperative nasal shape, with its naturally elevated nasal dorsum, rounded tip profile, and pronounced tip-defining point, complied with the natural aesthetic criteria. Three patients experienced a chronic nasal infection following surgery, while the remaining four experienced postoperative tip-down rotation.Conclusions:Using bilateral auricular concha cartilage, the tip cartilage modified scaffolding provides a better nasal appearance and tip mobility after rhinoplasty for the patients.
