Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of costal cartilage septal-columellar composite grafts in refining nasal tip aesthetics for secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities, and to provide a reference for clinical treatment. Methods: This study has been approved by the institutional medical ethics committee and informed consent was obtained from the patients. A total of 31 patients underwent surgery with a costal cartilage strut-septum complex stent graft. The follow-up period was a minimum of 6 months. Anteroposterior, lateral, and supine photos of the patient were taken before and after the operation. The following measurements were obtained: nasal tip projection (NTP), nasofrontal angle (NFA), nasolabial angle (NLA), nasal tip alar angle (NAA), and nasal tip tangent angle (NTA). Nostril-related indices [nostril area (S), nostril height (h1), nostril width (w), and nasal sill height (h2)]) were measured before and after surgery, and cleft/non-cleft side ratios were calculated. Satisfaction with nasal tip aesthetics was investigated using the visual analogue scale (VAS). All measurements were made using preoperative photographs and the most recent follow-up photographs of the patients. Results The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 49 months, with an average of 28 months. All patients underwent healing Results: The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 49 months, with an average of 28 months. All patients underwent healing by first intention. Compared with preoperative measurements, postoperative NTP (preoperative 0.48 vs. postoperative 0.55), NLA (preoperative 83.98° vs. postoperative 100.80°), and NAA (preoperative 160.30° vs. postoperative 168.40°) were significantly increased (P < 0.05). NFA (preoperative 139.20° vs. postoperative 133.50°, P < 0.05) and NTA (preoperative 43.76° vs. postoperative 35.80°, P = 0.062) were decreased. On the cleft versus non-cleft sides, the ratios of S (preoperative 1.10 vs. postoperative 0.94, P < 0.05), w (preoperative 1.10 vs. postoperative 1.02, P = 0.194), h1 (preoperative 0.71 vs. postoperative 0.90, P < 0.05), and h2 (preoperative 0.53 vs. postoperative 0.79, P = 0.065) were all near 1. Satisfaction with postoperative results was fairly high. Conclusion The costal cartilage strut-septum complex stent can effectively correct the deflection and collapse of the nasal tip in patients with unilateral cleft lip nose deformity. The postoperative long-term effect is relatively stable.

Objective To compare clinical efficacy and complication rate of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discec-tomy(PETD),percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy(PEID)and unilateral biportal endoscopic(UBE)in treating single-segment lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods From October 2019 to August 2021,121 LDH patients with single-segment treated by spinal endoscopy were retrospectively analyzed and divided into three groups.In PETD group,there were 48 patients,including 19 males and 29 females,aged from 18 to 72 years old with an average of(44.0±13.9)years old;3 patients with L3,4 segments,27 patients with L4,5 segments,and 18 patients with L5S1 segments.In PEID group,there were 43 patients,including 23 males and 20 females,aged from 20 to 69 years old with an average of(40.1±12.1)years old;1 patient with L3.4 segments,15 patients with L4.5 segments,and 27 patients with L5S1 segments.In UBE group,there were 30 patients,including 12 males and 18 females,agedfrom29 to 72 years old with an average of(41.2±15.0)years old;1 patient with L3,4 segments,18 patients with L4,5 segments,and 11 patients with L5S1 segments.Operation time,blood loss,fluoroscopy times and complica-tions among three groups were observed and compared.Before opertaion,3 months after operation and at the latest follow-up,visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate low back pain and lower extremity pain,Oswestry disfunction index(ODI)was used to evaluate lumbar function,and modified MacNab was used to evaluate clinical efficacy at the latest follow-up.Re-sults All patients were performed endoscopic spinal surgery completely and were followed up for at least 12 months.One patient occurred dural sac rupture both in PETD and PEID group,and dural sac rupture was small,and there was no obvious discomfort after operation.Two patients were occurred intraoperative rupture of dural sac in UBE group.One patient was occurred cere-brospinal fluid leakage after operation,and was improved after rest in supine position and fluid rehydration.One patient without no significant postoperative discomfort.(1)There were no significant difference in operating time,blood loss and hospital stay between PETD and PEID group(P＞0.05),while UBE group was higher than those of PETD and PEID group(P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in fluoroscopy times between PEID and UBE group(P＞0.05),but PETD group was higher than that of PEID and UBE group(P＜0.05).(2)VAS of low back pain at 3 months after operation in UBE group was higher than that in PETD and PEID group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between PETD and PEID group(P＞0.05).At the latest follow-up,there was no significant difference in VAS of low back pain among three groups(P＞0.05).(3)Lower ex-tremity pain of VAS and ODI among 3 groups after operation were significantly improved at all time points compared with those before opertaion(P＜0.05),and there were no statistical significance between groups(P＞0.05),and there were no statistical significance in interaction between different time points and operation groups(P＞0.05).(4)At the latest follow-up,according to the modified MacNab standard,the results of PETD group were excellent in 27 patients,good in 16 patients,moderate in 4 patients,poor in 1 patient;in PEID group,27 patients got excellent result,12 good,3 moderate,and 1 poor;in UBE group,16 patients got excellent,10 good,2 moderate,and 2 poor.There was no significant difference among three groups(x2=0.308,P＞0.05).Recurrence of lumbar disc herniation occurred in 1 patient among each three groups,symptoms were improved in 2 pa-tients after symptomatic treatment,and 1 patient was treated in other hospitals.Conclusion PETD,PEID and UBE techniques could achieve good early clinical effects in treating lumbar disc herniation with similar complication rates.Both of PETD and PEID are single-channel minimally invasive surgery,with mild intraoperative tissue damage and quick postoperative recovery;while intraoperative fluoroscopy of PETD was relatively more frequent,and PEID was more suitable for L5S1 segment;UBE is a two-channel surgery,in which the intraoperative soft tissue damage is more severe,but exposure is broad,which is more suit-able for complex cases.

Objective To prospectively compare the clinical efficacy and radiographic outcomes between interlaminar per-cutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression(IL-PELD)and transforaminar percutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression(TF-PELD)in the treatment of single-segment lumbar lateral recess stenosis.Methods From April 2018 to July 2021,85 pa-tients with single-segment lumbar lateral recess stenosis underment percutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression.There were 44 males and 41 females,aged from 49 to 81 years old with an average of(65.5±8.3)years old,duration of lumbar lateral re-cess stenosis ranging from 3 to 83 months with an average of(26.7±16.5)months.They were divided into IL-PELD group and TF-PELD group according to the different operation methods.There were 47 patients in the IL-PELD group,including 28 males and 19 females aged from 50 to 80 yeaes old with an average age was(66.7±9.3)years old.The disease duration ranged from 3 to 65 months with an average of(25.7±15.0)months.There were 38 patients in the TF-PELD group,including 16 males and 22 females,aged from 51 to 78 years old with an average of(64.1±7.6)years old.The disease duration ranged from 4 to 73 months with an average of(27.9±18.3)months The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluoroscopy,hospi-talization day and complications of the two groups were recorded.Visual analogue scale(VAS)to evaluate low back pain and lower limb pain,Oswestry disability index(ODI)to evaluate lumbar function in preoperative and postoperative period(1 month,6 months and last follow-up)were recorded.the sagittal diameter of the lateral recess of the responsible intervertebral space in preoperative and 1 week after the operation were recorded.Results The operation was successfully completed in both groups without serious complications such as vascular injury,dural sac tear and nerve injury.The operation time in IL-PED group(69.3±19.3)min was significantly longer than that in TF-PELD group(57.5±14.5)min(P＜0.05).There was no significant dif-ference in the intraoperative blood loss between the two groups(P＞0.05).The number of intraoperative fluoroscopy in TF-PELD group(8.8±2.6)times was significantly higher than that in IL-PED group(4.8±1.2)times(P＜0.05).The hospitalization days of the two groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).VAS for low back and lower extremity pain and ODI were(5.1±2.2),(6.9±1.3)scores and(71.4±12.6)％in IL-PELD group,and(4.7±1.8),(6.9±1.3)scores and(68.4±13.9)％in TF-PELD group.In the IL-PELD group,the VAS of low back pain was(2.4±1.5),(1.6±0.8),(1.4±0.9)scores,and the VAS of lower extremity pain was(3.0±1.2),(1.6±0.7),(1.5±1.0)scores,ODI was(32.6±11.9)％,(17.4±6.5)％,(19.3±9.3)％;In TF-PELD group,the VAS of low back pain was(2.6±1.4),(1.5±0.6),(1.4±1.0)scores,and the VAS of lower extremity pain was(2.8±1.2),(1.6±0.6),(1.5±1.2)scores,The ODI was(32.0±11.2)％,(15.0±6.1)％,and(20.0±11.3)％.The VAS and ODI of the two groups at each time point after operation were significantly improved compared with those before operation(P＜0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups(P＞0.05),and there was no statistically sig-nificant difference in the interaction between different time points and groups(P＞0.05).At 1 week after operation,the sagittal diameter of lateral recess in both groups was significantly increased compared with that before operation(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups at each time point(P＞0.05).According to the modified Macnab criteria,IL-PELD group was rated as excellent in 24 cases,good in 19 cases and fair in 4 cases.In TF-PELD group the results were ex-cellent in 19 cases,good in 15 cases,fair in 3 cases and poor in 1 case.There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion IL-PELD and TF-PELD can expand the lateral recess in the treatment of single level lumbar lateral recess stenosis,and have achieved good clinical effects.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with CD5+diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The clinical data of 161 newly treated DLBCL patients in Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2013 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.According to CD5 expression,the patients were divided into CD5+group and CD5-group.The clinical characteristics and prognosis of the two groups were statistically analyzed.Results:The median age of patients in CD5+group was 62 years,which was higher than 56 years in CD5-group(P=0.048).The proportion of women in CD5+group was 62.96％,which was significantly higher than 41.79％in CD5-group(P=0.043).The proportion of patients with IPI score＞2 in CD5+group was 62.96％,which was higher than 40.30％in CD5-group(P=0.031).Survival analysis showed that the median overall survival and progression-free survival time of patients in CD5+group were 27(3-77)and 31(3-76)months,respectively,which were both shorter than 30(5-84)and 32.5(4-83)months in CD5-group(P=0.047,P=0.026).Univariate analysis showed that advanced age,positive CD5 expression,triple or double hit at initial diagnosis,high IPI score and no use of rituximab during chemotherapy were risk factors for the prognosis of DLBCL patients.Further Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that these factors were also independent risk factors except for advanced age.Conclusion:CD5+DLBCL patients have a worse prognosis than CD5-DLBCL patients.Such patients are more common in females,with advanced age and high IPI score,which is a special subtype of DLBCL.

Objective To explore the influences of different altitude environments on the performance of the portable dental unit.Methods Three regions with increasing altitudes(A(70.0 m),B(3 857.0 m)and C(4 820.0 m))were selected,and relevant environment parameters in the regions were measured including average room temperature,average atmospheric pressure and average air density.The performance indicators of the portable dental unit were tested in the three regions such as preparation time(Tprep),continuous working time(Tcont),working heat generation and handpiece output pressure,and the test results of region A were compared with those of region B and C.SPSS 29.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results The average atmospheric pressure and average air density were significantly lower in region B and C than in region A,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The portable dental unit had the average Tprep prolonged andTcont shortened significantly in region B and C when compared those in region A(P＜0.05),whose mean working heat generation after 15-min operation was higher and mean handpiece output pressure was lower obviously in region B and C than in region A(P＜0.05).Conclusion High er altitude environments can have negative effects on the performance of the portable dental unit when compared with lower altitude environments.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(5):52-55]

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of clinically isolated bacteria from intensive care units(ICUs)in hospitals of Hunan Province Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System from 2012 to 2021.Methods According to China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System,data of clinically isolated bacterial strains and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of bacteria from ICUs reported by all member units of Hunan Province Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System were analyzed with WHONET 2022 software.Results From 2012 to 2021,the total number of bacteria isolated from ICUs of member units of the Hunan Province Antimi-crobial Resistance Surveillance System was 5 777-22 369,with Gram-negative bacteria accounting for 76.1％-78.0％annually.Staphylococcus aureus ranked first among isolated Gram-positive bacteria each year.The top 5 bacteria among Gram-negative bacteria were Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Pseudo-monas aeruginosa,and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.Detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus showed a downward trend year by year.No Staphylococcus spp.were found to be resistant to vancomycin,teico-planin and linezolid.Detection rates of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis and vancomycin-resistant Entero-coccus faecium were 0.6-1.1％and 0.6％-2.2％,respectively.Resistance rates of Escherichia coli and Kleb-siella pneumoniae to imipenem were 3.1％-5.7％and 7.7％-20.9％,respectively.Resistance rates of Pseudo-monasaeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem were 24.6％-40.1％and 76.1％-80.9％,respective-ly.Detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa declined year by year.Acinetobacter baumannii maintained high susceptibility to polymyxin B,with resistance rate＜10％.Conclusion Antimicrobial resistance of bacteria from ICUs is serious.Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriales has an upward trend after 2019.It is nece-ssary to strengthen the surveillance of bacterial resistance and carry out multidisciplinary collaboration.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

ObjectiveTo explore the law of women reproductive aging based on theory of "seven-year period" in traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） through analyzing the characteristics of basic sex hormone levels and anti-müllerian hormone levels in women of different ages. MethodsThe data of female who visited Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2022 and accepted basic hormone and anti-müllerian hormone determination were collected retrospectively. According to the age of subjects， they were divided into the "1-2 seven" group （under 21 years old）， "3 seven" group （21-27 years old）， "4 seven" group （28-34 years old）， "5 seven" group （35-41 years old）， "6 seven" group （42-48 years old） and "7 seven" and older group （49 years old and above）. The age， average menstrual cycle in the past 3 months， basic hormone levels including follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， estradiol （E₂）， testosterone （T） and FSH/LH value， and anti-müllerian hormone （AMH） levels were collected and compared. ResultsA total of 1221 cases were included. The differences in FSH， LH， FSH/LH values， E₂， T， AMH levels and average menstrual cycle among the groups were statistically significant （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. AMH peaked in the "3 seven" group. Compared to those in the "3 seven" group， the FSH/LH value in the "4 seven" group increased， while the LH， AMH and T levels decreased， and the menstrual cycle was shortened （P＜0.01）. The FSH/LH， LH， AMH， T and menstrual cycle in the "5 seven" group were consistent with the changing trend of those in the "4 seven" group， while the FSH and E₂ levels in the "5 seven" group were significantly higher （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the "5 seven" group， the FSH， LH and E₂ levels of the "6 seven" group increased， and the AMH and T levels continued to decrease （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the "6 seven" group， the FSH and LH levels of the "7 seven" and older group continued to increase， and the AMH and E₂ levels decreased （P＜0.01）. ConclusionThe law of women reproductive aging in the "seven-year period" theory is basically consistent with the characteristics of basic sex hormone levels and anti-müllerian hormone levels in women of different ages. The reproductive capacity reaches its peak in the "three-seven-year period" and gradually moves towards reproductive aging in the "four-seven-year period".

From the perspective of the physiological basis of liver and kidney sharing the common source in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and by integrating the theory of kidney dominating bone,liver dominating tendon,and meridian sinew of TCM as well as the bone resorption and collapse theory,and non-uniform settlement theory and lower-limb musculoskeletal bowstring structure theory of modern orthopedics,the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH)under the system of non-uniform settlement during bone resorption and multidimensional composite bowstring working in coordination with the theory of liver-kidney and muscle-bone was explored.The key to the TCM pathogenesis of ONFH lies in the deficiency of the liver and kidney,and then the imbalance of kidney yin-yang leads to the disruption of the dynamic balance of bone formation and bone resorption mediated by osteoblasts-osteoclasts,which manifests as the elevated level of bone metabolism and the enhancement of focal bone resorption in the femoral head,and then leads to the necrosis and collapse of the femoral head.It is considered that the kidney dominates bone,liver dominates tendon,and the tendon and bone together constitute the muscle-bone-joint dynamic and static system of the hip joint.The appearance of collapse destroys the originally balanced muscle-bone-joint system.Moreover,the failure of liver blood in the nourishment of muscles and tendons further exacerbates the imbalance of the soft tissues around the hip joint,accelerates the collapse of the muscle-bone-joint dynamic and static system,speeds up the process of femoral head collapse,and ultimately results in irreversible outcomes.Based on the above pathogenesis,the systematic integrative treatment of ONFH should be based on the TCM holistic concept,focuses on the focal improvement of internal and external blood circulation of the femoral head by various approaches,so as to rebuild the coordination of joint function.Moreover,attention should be paid to the physical constitution of the patients,and therapy of tonifying the kidney and regulating the liver can be used to restore the balance between osteogenesis and osteoblastogenesis,and to reconstruct the muscle-bone-joint system,so as to effectively delay or even prevent the occurrence of ONFH.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using composite autologous patch graft combined with tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon in the treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCT).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed on 11 IMRCT patients who were admitted to Affiliated Fuyang Hospital of Bengbu Medical University (Fuyang People′s Hospital) from May 2020 to June 2022, including 7 males and 4 females, aged 54-74 years [(62.6±7.3)years]. All the patients were treated with arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using composite patch graft combined with tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Acromiohumeral Distance (AHD), Constant-Murley score and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score and active range of motion of the shoulder joint before, at 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were compared. At the last follow-up, the integrity of reconstructed superior capsule and the long head of the biceps tendon was evaluated using MRI of the shoulder joint. Postoperative complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 13-39 months [16(13, 36)months]. The VAS score, AHD, Constant-Murley score, and UCLA score were 2(2, 3)points, (9.1±1.1)mm, (56.1±5.4)points, and (19.7±2.8)points respectively at 6 months after surgery, which were all significantly improved from those before surgery [6(5, 7)points, (5.1±1.2)mm, (37.9±2.2)points, and (11.8±1.2)points] ( P<0.05). The VAS score, AHD, Constant-Murley score, and UCLA score were 0(0, 1)points, (8.4±0.9)mm, (83.6±3.8)points, and (28.2±2.3)points respectively at the last follow-up, which were all significantly improved from those before surgery ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the VAS score or AHD were not significantly improved from those at 6 months after surgery ( P>0.05); Constant-Murley score and UCLA score were both significantly improved from those at 6 months after surgery ( P<0.05). At 6 months after surgery, shoulder active ranges of motion in forward flexion, abduction and external rotation were (134.6±13.5)°, (124.6±18.6)° and 45(40, 50)° respectively, which were all significantly improved compared with those before surgery [(63.2±36.1)°, (65.0±23.1)°, and [30(20, 40)°] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, shoulder active ranges of motion in forward flexion, abduction and external rotation were (144.1±12.6)°, (139.6±15.4)° and 60(45, 65)° respectively, which were all significantly improved compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in active range of motion of the shoulder in forward flexion, abduction and external rotation between 6 months after surgery and the last follow-up ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, MRI revealed integrity of the reconstructed superior joint capsule and the long head of the biceps tendon in 10 patients. One patient developed resorption of the greater tuberosity and 1 showed a partial tear of the supraspinatus tendon at 1 year after surgery. Conclusion:Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using composite autologous patch graft combined with tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon can relieve shoulder pain, decrease upward displacement of the humerus head, improve the function and range of motion of the shoulder joint, and reduce complications in the treatment of IMRCT.
