Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomesof primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) and revision procedure with RTSA after treatment failure of complex proximal humeral fractures in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conductedon 24 elderly patients with Neer three- or four-part proximal humeral fractures who underwent RTSA revision after treatment failure (RTSA revision group) from January 2017 to June 2022. There were 7 males and 17 females included, with a mean age of 78.23±5.78 years (range, 67-86 years). Forty-eight patients who underwent primary RTSA (primary RTSA group) during the same time period were selected by propensity score matchingin a 1∶2 ratio as controls, based on age, dominanthand, etiology, Neer typing, glenohumeral joint dislocation, rotator cuff integrity, and osteoporosis T-score. The primary RTSA group included 12 males and 36 females, with a mean age of 76.38±6.15 years (range, 65-87 years). Clinical indicators including demographic characteristics, healing rate of the greater tuberosity, visual analogue score (VAS), Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), shoulder range of motion (ROM), patient satisfaction, and complication rate were collected and analyzed.Results:The mean follow-up duration was 40(32, 60) months (range, 25-72 months) in the primary RTSA group and 38(30, 61) months (range, 24-68 months) in RTSA revision group. There was no significant difference (χ 2=5.058, P=0.168) in the healing rate of the greater tuberosity between the primary RTSA group (41/48, 85.4%) and the RTSA revision group (15/24, 62.5%). Compared with preoperative status, the ROM of anterior elevation, abduction supination, external rotation, VAS score, Constant-Murley score, and ASES score were significantly improved at the last follow-up (all P<0.05) in the RTSA revision group. The anterior elevation (123.74°± 16.57°), abduction supination (113.73°±16.42°), and external rotation (36.45°±10.36°) in the primary RTSA group were superior to those in the RTSA revision group (109.43°±18.75°, 98.64°±15.47°, 30.47°±10.64°, respectively), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). No statistical difference of ROM of internal rotation between the two groups was found (χ 2=4.034, P=0.133). At the last follow-up, the Constant-Murley scores (75.47±11.66) and ASES scores (73.58±15.72) of the primary RTSA group were higher than those in the RTSA revision group (60.43±10.24 and 63.28±18.77, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In terms of VAS (1.66±0.93 vs. 2.02±1.15) and patient satisfaction [83%(40/48) vs. 88%(21/24)], no statistical difference was identified ( P>0.05). The complication rate were 10.4% (5/48) in the primary RTSA group and 20.8% (5/24) in the RTSA revision group (χ 2=1.452, P=0.285), with no serious complications requiring revision surgery in either group. Conclusions:For elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures after failed operation, RTSA revision might effectively improve the limb function and alleviatepain. However, compared with RTSA revision, primary RTSA demonstrated superiorearly clinical outcomes in shoulder ROM and functional recovery.

Objective To investigate the distribution,risk factors and prognosis of VA-ECMO patients with capillary leakage syndrome(CLS).Methods 115 cases of VA-ECMO were collected in Emergency department,ICU 1 and 2 of Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine from December 2019 to December 2023 for prospective clinical observation study.It was observed the operation time and status of VA-ECMO and whether VA-ECMO patients were complicated with CLS.At the same time,type of disease,blood gas pH,HCO3-concentration,lactate value(LAC),serum albumin and so on were recorded.The influence of various factors on VA-ECMO with CLS was analyzed by binary Logistic regression.T test was used for measurement data and χ2 test was used for counting data.Results Capillary leakage syndrome in VA-ECMO patients were 61 cases,which had accounted for 53.04%.Sepsis,ECPR,pH value and LAC were the risk factors for VA-ECMO with CLS(P<0.05).The operation failure rate of ECMO in 24 hours of CLS group was 49.18%higher than that of non-CLS group(P<0.001).The mean running time of ECMO in CLS group was 39.53 hours,which was lower than that of non-CLS group(t=2.318,P<0.05).The mortality rate of CLS group was 88.24%,higher than that of non-CLS group(57.69%)(χ2=14.18,P<0.001).Conclusions The proportion of VA-ECMO combined with CLS was not low.Sepsis,ECPR,pH value and LAC were risk factors for VA-ECMO with CLS,and VA-ECMO combined with CLS seriously affected the operation of ECMO.For patients with VA-ECMO,it should be paid more attention to observe whether they have capillary leakage and its risk factors,and the potential etiology should be treated early to promote the progress of ECMO and improve their prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate direct and indirect costs for schizophrenia,major depressive disorder(MDD)and bipolar disorder,and to compare their differences of cost composition,and to explore the drivers of the total costs.Methods:A total of 3 175 inpatients with schizophrenia,MDD,and bipolar disorder were recruited.In-patient's self-report total direct of medical costs outpatient and inpatient,out-of-pocket costs,and direct non-medical costs were regarded as direct costs.Productivity loss and other loss caused by damaging properties were defined as indirect costs.The perspectives of this study included individual and societal levels.Multivariate regression analysis was applied for detecting the factors influencing disease costs.Results:The total cost of schizophrenia was higher than those of MDD and bipolar disorder at individual and societal levels.The indirect costs of three mental disorders were higher than the direct costs,and the indirect cost ratio of bipolar disorder was higher than those of schizophre-nia and MDD.Age,gender,working condition and marital status(P＜0.05)were the important drivers of total costs.Conclusion:The economic burden of the three mental disorders is relatively heavy.Schizophrenia has heaviest disease burden,and the productivity loss due to mental disorders is the driving force of the soaring disease cost

The National Health Commission of the People′s Republic of China has formulated the Quality Control Indexes for Oncology (2023 edition), with the objective of improving medical quality scientifically, refined and standardized. Among these indexes, the rate of pretreatment clinical TNM staging and the coincidence rate of evaluation of pretreatment TNM staging lay national standards for patients to formulate rational and targeted treatment strategies. This article reviewed the literature and referred to Chinese Medical Association Clinical Practice Guide for Breast Surgery, and presented recommendations for the hot topics of breast surgery, such as pathological sampling of the breast specimen, sentinel lymph node biopsy for early-stage breast cancer, breast conserving surgery, axillary lymph node dissection, breast reconstruction surgery, endoscopic-assisted breast surgery, the principles of surgical treatment for metastatic breast cancer, neoadjuvant treatment for advanced disease, and surgical grade of breast surgery, which have been widely concerned in recent years, to help improve homogenization of breast cancer treatment in China.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing globally,which has contributed to a surge in diabetic reti-nopathy(DR)patients.DR has become the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the working-age popula-tion.The progressive development of DR involves many molecular and biochemical mechanisms,which interact with each other to affect the homeostasis of retinal blood vessels and cells.With the further study of the pathogenesis of DR,more and more molecular targets have been discovered.Studying the pathogenesis of DR and seeking potential therapeutic targets are of great clinical significance for the early prevention and treatment of DR and the prevention of its progression.In this paper,the latest developments in pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of DR are briefly reviewed.

With the progress of comprehensive treatment of breast cancer, the surgical treatment of axillary lymph nodes presents a degraded treatment mode under the guidance of evidence-based medicine. The indications and contraindications of sentinel lymph node biopsy for early breast cancer have been very clear, but there are still many specific problems in clinical practice that surgeons are concerned about. This article discusses the recently published research on sentinel lymph node biopsy in order to draw the attention of surgical colleagues to the new hot issues of sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer, and promote standardized surgery and the promotion of new treatment concepts.

Objective:To estimate the costs of dementia from a societal perspective in Tongliao City and ex-plore the influencing factors of these costs.Methods:Dementia was diagnosed using the 10/66 Dementia Research Group assessment instruments.Data on healthcare utilization,caregiver's care time or costs,and the distress due to caregiving were collected.The cost-proportion conversion method was used to estimate the per capita cost of health services based on data from the National Statistical Yearbook.The human capital approach was used to estimate the unit value of informal care time,and the willingness-to-pay method was used to measure the intangible costs of car-egivers.The total societal costs of dementia were calculated based on the reference year 2023,and a two-part model was employed to analyze the factors influencing the societal costs.Results:A total of 390 dementia patients were di-agnosed,with an average societal cost per capita of 117 877 Yuan.The largest cost component was informal care provided by unpaid family members,accounting for 73.1％of the total societal cost.The societal costs for female patients were 61 395 Yuan higher than those for male patients.Patients with comorbid stroke had a higher societal cost of 63 008 Yuan compared to patients without stroke,and each additional chronic disease added 5 868 Yuan to societal costs.Additionally,each non-memory dimension impairment in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale in-creased the societal costs by 53 997 Yuan.Conclusion:Dementia poses a significant socio-economic burden,with informal care being the major component of this burden.
