BACKGROUND:Individuals with chronic ankle instability are prone to inversion ankle sprains during landing.Moderately increasing the foot toe-out angle during landing may reduce the occurrence of inversion ankle sprains,but no studies have directly demonstrated this effect. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of increased toe-out angle during landing on the peak inversion angle,peak angular velocity,and the time to peak inversion among individuals with and without chronic ankle instability. METHODS:A total of 60 participants were recruited for this study,including 30 individuals with chronic ankle instability and 30 without chronic ankle instability.The study utilized a simulated sprain apparatus for drop-landing tests,featuring a platform that could tilt forward by 24° and inward by 15°,thus simulating the foot position during an ankle inversion sprain.Participants were required to perform drop-landing tests under two landing conditions:natural landing and toe-out landing,with the latter involving a greater foot toe-out angle,over 150%more than the former.Kinematic data of participants were recorded using a 12-camera three-dimensional motion capture system.Data analysis was conducted using two-way repeated measures analysis of variance and Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Significant main effects of condition were found for peak inversion angle during drop-landing(P<0.001,η2 p=0.270),peak inversion velocity(P=0.015,η2 p=0.098),and peak inversion time(P<0.001,η2 p=0.260);a significant main effect of group was found for peak inversion velocity(P=0.029,η2 p=0.080).(2)There were significant negative correlations between the foot toe-out angle at landing and the peak ankle inversion angle(P=0.021,r=-0.310;P=0.042,r=-0.278)as well as the peak inversion time(P=0.018,r=-0.312;P=0.021,r=-0.309)in both chronic ankle instability and non-chronic ankle instability groups.Moreover,a significant negative correlation was also found between the foot toe-out angle and peak inversion velocity in the chronic ankle instability group(P=0.021,r=-0.312).(3)It is indicated that increasing the foot toe-out angle at landing can reduce the peak inversion angle,peak inversion velocity,and the peak inversion time during landing in patients with chronic ankle instability and non-chronic ankle instability,thereby decreasing the risk of ankle inversion sprains.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of invasive klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess syndrome (IKPLAS), and compare it with common pyogenic liver abscess (CPLA). Methods:The social demography and clinical data of inpatients with pyogenic liver abscess from January 2011 to December 2021 in the Peking University People's Hospital were collected. Based on the presence or absence of invasive infections and the results of bacterial etiology, IKPLAS was diagnosed and compared with CPLA. The general information, symptoms, past medical history, auxiliary examinations and prognosis indicators of the two groups of patients were compared.Results:Total of 172 patients with pyogenic liver abscess were collected, including 25 cases of IKPLAS. Compared with CPLA group, the proportion of fever in IKPLAS group was lower, the proportion of diabetes history was higher, the proportion of monocytes was lower, and procalcitonin and urea nitrogen were higher(all P<0.05), the proportion of multiple abscesses is higher, and the positive rate of blood culture and the cultivation of klebsiella pneumoniae are both higher (all P<0.05).A total of 9 cases (5.2%) of patients developed septic shock, of which 2 cases (1.2%) died. The IKPLAS group had a higher proportion of ICU admissions ( P<0.05),but but the difference of mortality between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The most common sites of invasion infection in the IKPLAS group are the lungs(22/25), brain(9/25), and eyes(9/25). Conclusions:There are differences in clinical characteristics between IKPLAS and CPLA, the most common sites of invasion infection are the lungs, brain, and eyes, but there is no difference in mortality in this study. For PLA with pathogenic Klebsiella pneumoniae, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the presence of invasive lesions and provide targeted local treatment to better improve prognosis.

Objective:To classify the etiology of secondary hemophagocytic syndrome (sHLH) and explore its clinical, laboratory and therapeutic characteristics in order to deepen the understanding of the disease.Method:A retrospective observational study was conducted on sHLH patients who were treated at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2021. Patients under the age of 18 and those with missing clinical data were excluded. The distribution of departments visited and etiologies of sHLH were analyzed. Baseline data, clinical characteristics, complications, laboratory data, treatment, and in-hospital outcomes of sHLH were collected. The sHLH patients were then divided into 3 groups including malignancy group, macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) group and other etiologies (mainly infection) group. Intergroup comparisons were performed using chi-square tests, analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney tests, and other statistical methods.Results:A total 169 patients were enrolled, among these patients, 27.8% were malignancy-related HLH, 47.9% were MAS, and 24.3% were other etiologies related HLH. Statistical analysis revealed that the clinical characteristics of other etiological group was highly consistent with the malignancy group, including more and severer peripheral blood cell reduction, higher sCD25 levels, more Epstein-Barr virus infection, and the prognosis was similar, both were with more than 50% in-hospital mortality. And the incidence of hemophagocytosis was highest in other etiological groups (65.9%). In contrast, MAS group was with an obviously lower mortality of 17.3% ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, treatments including methylprednisolone pulse, cyclosporine A and interleukin-2 were used frequently in MAS group. Conclusion:Malignancy related HLH and other etiologies related HLH exhibit more similar clinical characteristics and prognosis, while the MAS group, has a milder overall condition and better prognosis.

Objective:To establish an early prediction model based on triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and procalcitonin (PCT) for patients of acute pancreatitis (AP) complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI), and evaluate the diagnostic value of prediction model.Methods:This study was a single center prospective study. AP patients were recruited from the Emergency Department at Peking University People’s Hospital from January to December 2022. The observation endpoint was 14 days after the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, patients were divided into AKI and control (no AKI) groups according to the observation endpoint. The general characteristics, clinical laboratory examinations, complications, and clinical scores were compared. The risk for AKI development was determined using logistic analyses to establish a risk prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the model were calculated, and the diagnostic value of the model was compared with that of Ranson score, APACHEⅡ score and BISAP score.Results:A total of 258 patients were selected for this study, including 79 in the AKI group and 179 in the control group. There was no significant difference in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the AKI group had a higher proportion of males, older age, and had a higher proportion of hypertension. The ratio of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, PCT, and TyG were significantly increased. The Ranson score, APACHE Ⅱ score, and BISAP score were higher, and more patients had ARDS and serous fluid accumulation in the later period. Multivariate logistic regression showed that age ( OR=1.071, 95% CI: 1.020-1.125, P=0.006), increased TyG index ( OR=2.632, 95% CI: 1.423-4.866, P=0.002), and elevated PCT ( OR=1.275, 95% CI: 1.067-1.524, P=0.008) were risk factors for AKI in AP patients. According to the risk factors, forecast the AP patients complicated with AKI risk assessment model is established: Logistic (AKI/AP) = -16.697+0.069×age+ 0.968×TyG+0.243×PCT. The sensitivity and specificity of the model for predicting AKI in AP were 79.75% and 96.65%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.856 (95% CI: 0.790-0.922). The predictive ability was better than that of Ranson score, BISAP score and APACHE Ⅱ score (AUC: 0.856 vs. 0.691 vs. 0.745 vs. 0.705, P=0.041). Conclusion:The prediction model based on age, TyG and PCT was valuable for the prediction of AP concurrent AKI in early stage.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and risk stratification of acute pulmonary embolism.Methods:The clinical data of patients with moderate to critical pulmonary embolism admitted to the emergency department of Peking University People's Hospital from January 2018 to May 2022 were respectively collected. The patients divided into a medium to high-risk group and a medium to low-risk group according to risk stratification. The SII index, simplified pulmonary embolism severity index (sPESI), general information, disease history, laboratory test results, and other indicators between two groups of patients were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between SII and risk stratification in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.Results:A total of 97 patients with moderate to critical pulmonary embolism were included, including 43 were in the medium high risk group and 54 were in the medium low risk group. The data of SII index, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and sPESI of patients in the medium to high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the medium to low-risk group (all P<0.05), and lower lymphocyte count than those in the medium to low-risk group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that SII ( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.002, P=0.027) and sPESI ( OR=2.000, 95% CI: 1.155-3.464, P=0.013) were the main factors affecting risk stratification in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. The AUC of SII, sPESI score, and their combined evaluation of acute pulmonary embolism risk stratification were 0.710, 0.625, and 0.739, respectively. The combined evaluation value of the two indicators was higher than that of a single indicator ( P=0.007). Conclusion:SII has good application value in risk stratification of acute pulmonary embolism, and the combined sPESI score has higher value.

Ovarian cancer, notable for its severe prognosis among gynecologic cancers, has seen substantial progress in treatment approaches recently. Enhanced protocols in chemotherapy and the introduction of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for maintenance therapy have markedly improved outcomes for patients with specific genetic profiles, such as those positive for BRCA mutations or exhibiting homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). Additionally, the method of intraperitoneal chemotherapy administration has emerged as a valuable alternative to traditional transvenous routes, showing promise for wider clinical adoption. The field of surgery has also evolved, with increasing exploration into the benefits and feasibility of laparoscopic methods over more invasive traditional surgeries, aiming for complete tumor removal but with reduced patient impact. The hereditary nature of ovarian cancer underscores the importance of genetic testing, which has become integral in tailoring treatment strategies, particularly in determining suitability for PARP inhibitors.The formation of the East Asian Gynecologic Oncology Trial Group (EAGOT) aims to optimize treatment across Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan. The ovarian cancer committee of EAGOT shared the current policies, focusing on 5 topics: 1) strategies for maintenance therapy after initial surgery and chemotherapy, 2) drug regimens for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrence, 3) intraperitoneal chemotherapy, 4) laparoscopic surgery as an alternative to laparotomy, and 5) current status of genetic testing (BRCA, HRD, and panel tests) for ovarian cancer and its prospects. EAGOT’s multi-national trials aim to harmonize these evolving treatment strategies, ensuring that the latest and most effective protocols are accessible across the region, thereby significantly impacting patient outcomes in East Asia.
