Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of individualised microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN), so as to provide individualised treatment strategies and new thoughts for treatment.Methods:Clinical data of 46 patients who had TN and treated in the Department of Neurosurgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2021 to September 2023 were retrospectively studied. The study consisted of 19 males and 27 females, with an average age of morbidity at (58.3 ± 9.0) years old. Preoperative pain ratings and surgical outcomes were evaluated using the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) pain rating scale, and of which 27 patients were rated at BNI grade IV and 19 at grade V before surgery. A posterior trans-sigmoid sinus approach was applied in surgery on all patients, which could be performed in various ways depending on the vascular conditions identified during surgery. Ten patients were treated with microsurgery, 12 with endoscopic surgery and 24 with combined endoscopic surgery and microsurgery. After having identified the responsible vessel(s), a vascular decompression for the affected trigeminal nerve was performed and the nerve decompression was achieved by a polyester pad. Long-term postoperative follow-ups were conducted via telephone interviews or outpatient visits.Results:A total of 46 patients received the microvascular decompression surgery. Among them, 43 cases (93.5%) achieved immediate and complete pain relief of BNI grade I after surgery, and 3 cases (6.5%) achieved partial pain relief of BNI grade Ⅱ. Four patients developed facial numbness and sensory reduction, 2 developed facial paralysis (of House-Brackmann grade Ⅱ of 1 patient and grade Ⅲ of the other), 8 developed pneumocephalus, 4 developed postoperative fever, and 2 developed subcutaneous effusion. After treatment, the pneumocephalus and fever were cured, subcutaneous effusion was disappeared in 1 patient, but remained in the other. The mean follow-up period for the 46 patients was 16.2 (1-33) months. During the follow-up, 2 of the 3 patients of BNI grade Ⅱ immediately after surgery had complete remission to BNI grade Ⅰ and the other had recurrence and aggravation at BNI grade Ⅳ.Conclusion:The complexity of the responsible vessels is one of the important factors to be considered in the microvascular decompression strategy for trigeminal neuralgia. An individualised surgical plan according to a specific vascular condition identified in the surgery, is a best possible or worthiness surgical strategy in the treatment for a TN.

Objective:To explore the clinical effectiveness of a self-designed robot reduction system for femoral intertrochanteric fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 57 patients with intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, The Fourth Affiliated Central Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from June 2022 to February 2023. The patients were divided into a robot group (using the self-designed robot reduction system to assist intramedullary nailing) and a traction bed group (using a traction bed to assist intramedullary nailing) based on their fracture reduction method. The robot group: 31 patients, 11 males and 20 females, with an age of (78.7±9.3) years; 16 left and 15 right sides; 17 cases of type 31-A1, 12 cases of type 31-A2 and 2 cases of type 31-A3 by the AO/OTA classification. The traction bed group: 26 patients, 12 males and 14 females, with an age of (78.7±7.7) years; 13 left and 13 right sides; 16 cases of type 31-A1, 9 cases of type 31-A2 and 1 cases of type 31-A3 by the AO/OTA classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of reduction and operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, reduction quality, and VAS and Harris score at preoperation, 1 week and 6 months postoperation.Results:The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences in their preoperative general data ( P>0.05). The robot group was significantly better than the traction bed group in reduction time [(4.4±2.2) min versus (9.4±3.2) min], operation time [(29.0±13.5) min versus (49.3±13.3) min], intraoperative blood loss [(76.5±30.5) mL versus (115.0±38.4) mL], fluoroscopy frequency [(10.2±2.6) times versus (14.8±3.2) times], and good/excellent rate of reduction [80.6% (25/31) versus 50.0% (13/26)] ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up for (6.8±0.3) months. Respectively, the VAS scores at preoperation and 6 months postoperation was (6.2±1.3) and (2.4±0.8) points for the robot group, and (6.3±1.3) and (2.7±0.8) points for the traction bed group, showing no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). However, the VAS score was (3.3±1.2) points for the robotic group and (4.8±1.5) points for the traction bed group at 1 week postoperation, showing a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups ( P<0.001). Respectively, the Harris scores at preoperation and 6 months postoperation were (35.3±3.0) and (88.7±3.4) points for the robot group, and (35.6±2.9) and (87.2±3.5) points for the traction bed group, showing no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). However, the Harris score was (57.3±3.7) points for the robotic group and (46.7±2.8) points for the traction bed group at 1 week postoperation, showing a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups ( P<0.05). The patient satisfaction rates in the robot and traction bed groups were 96.8% (30/31) and 92.3% (24/26), respectively, showing no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Our self-designed robot reduction for femoral intertrochanteric fractures can effectively shorten reduction and operation time, reduce bleeding and fluoroscopy frequency, and enhance anatomical reduction.

Objective:The study retrospectively analyzed the etiology, clinical manifestations, emergency treatment and etiological treatment of a large sample of cases with hypercalcemic crisis.Methods:The clincial data of patients with hypercalcaemia cirisis who were administered in First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2009 to July 2022 were analyzed, inculding the general data, clinical manifestations, etiology, photographic examination, emergency treatment, etiological treatment, serological examination before and after treatment, pathological immunohistochemical findings and prognosis.Results:A total of 143 hypercalcaemia crisis patients(84 males and 59 females) with a mean age of 53.51±16.60 were enrolled. The most common disease was hyperparathyroidism(62/143), followed by solid malignancy(57/143) and multiple myeloma(12/143). Patients presented with digestive system symptoms at 76.91%, followed by neurological symptoms at 63.60%, urinary system symptoms at 58.76%, musculoskeletal symptoms at 55.23%, and cardiovascular system symptoms at 32.91%. After emergency calcium-lowering treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemic crisis in 143 patients was 100%(143/143), and after etiological treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemia was 85.31%(122/143).Conclusion:Early identification, emergency treatment and etiology treatment of hypercalcaemia crisis are essential. Effective treament with comprehensive calcium reduction can quickly relieve clinical symptoms and create opportunities for treatment for the cause. Targeted etiological interventions can lead to the correction or long-term remission of hypercalcemia.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical significance of membrane anatomy theory in the application of thoracoscopic and laparoscopic radical esophageal resection.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 142 cases of thoracoscopic and laparoscopic radical esophagectomy based on membrane anatomy theory from December 2018 to October 2021.The esophageal mesangium,esophageal cancer,and nerves,blood vessels,lymphatic system,adipose tissue,upper stomach,left mesangium,and left gastric lymph nodes in the esophageal mesangium were removed as a whole.During the surgery,the space containing loose connective tissue around the esophagus was seen to be the esophageal fascial fusion space.The first 10 cases were labeled with nanocarbon tracer markers,showing esophageal lymphatic drainage to the left gastric lymph node.Results All the 142 patients had smooth surgery.The operation time was 150-230 min(mean,184.6±21.3 min),the intraoperative blood loss was 20-100 ml(mean,46.7±16.8 ml),the number of lymph nodes dissected was 12-41(mean,23.5±7.3),and the positive lymph nodes were found in 97 cases.The postoperative chest drainage time was3-10 d(mean,7.1±2.5 d),the postoperative oral intake time was 5-10 d(mean,7.6±1.7 d),and the total hospital stay was 9-20 d(mean,14.0±4.6 d).The total incidence of postoperative complications was 21.8%(31/142),including 7 cases(4.9%)of anastomotic leakage,9 cases(6.3%)of anastomotic stenosis,9 cases(6.3%)of hoarseness,and6 cases(4.2%)of residual gastritis.There was no postoperative bleeding,chyllevial leakage,infection,or death within 30 d after surgery.The follow-ups of the 142 patients lasted for 11-35 months,with a median of 26 months,and there was no recurrence and death.Conclusions There is a mesangial structure that constitutes an"envelope"around the esophagus.The membrane anatomy theory is suitable for the treatment of esophageal cancer,and radical resection of esophageal cancer based on the theory is safe,effective,and feasible.

Objective:To investigate the effect of S100A10 macrophage-mediated inflammation and migration.Methods:C57BL/6J mouse model of S100A10-KO,and RAW264.7 cell line of S100A10-KO were established.Taking mice's peritoneal macro-phages(PMs)and bone marrow macrophages(BMDMs),resuscitating RAW264.7 cell lines,and collecting cells.qRT-PCR was used to detect the effect of S100A10 knockout on the secretion of inflammatory factors in macrophages;wound healing assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the effect of S100A10 knockout on macrophage migration;CCK8 kit was used to detect the effect of S100A10 knockout on the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells;qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expressions of matrix metallopro-teinase 9(MMP9)and non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9(MYH9).Results:After S100A10 knockout,the inflammatory factors IL-6,IL-1β and MCP-1 levels(P<0.05)secreted by RAW264.7,PMs and BMDMs were excreted decreased;cell scratches and Transwell showed that S100A10 knockout inhibited macrophage migration;CCK8 experiments showed that the proliferation capacity of macro-phages weakened after S100A10 knockout;qRT-PCR and Western blot experiments showed that the migration-related proteins MMP9 and MYH9 decreased after S100A10 knockout.Conclusion:S100A10 knockout decreases the secretion of inflammatory factors by macrophages and attenuated the migration and proliferation of macrophages.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the trend of glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)change and newly developed metabolic syndrome(MS),and to explore the relationship between GGT and MS.Methods The study was a prospective cohort study,with baseline data sourced from the Beijing subcenter population of the"REACTION"study.A total of 6482 non-MS subjects was enrolled as the study subjects,and divided into four groups using the quartile method based on GGT level:G1(GGT<14.2 U/L,n=1613),G2(14.2≤GGT<18.6 U/L,n=1602),G3(18.6≤GGT<26.1 U/L,n=1639)and G4(GGT≥26.1 U/L,n=1628)group.Follow up was conducted 3.2 years later to analyze the correlation between baseline GGT and the trend of GGT changes with the risk of new MS.Results Baseline GGT was a risk factor for newly diagnosed MS.Compared with G1 group,the relative risk(RR)(95%CI)of newly diagnosed MS at follow-up in G2,G3,G4 group were 1.480(1.220～1.780,P<0.01),2.090(1.750～2.490,P<0.01),and 2.800(2.360～3.320,P<0.01),respectively.The increase in GGT is a risk factor for newly diagnosed MS during follow-up in this population.Compared with the group with decreased GGT,the RR(95%CI)of newly diagnosed MS during follow-up was 1.410(1.320～1.510)(P<0.01)in the group with increased GGT.In stratified subgroup analysis,the incidence of new-onset MS was[1.650(1.410～1.940)vs 1.510(1.310～1.750),P<0.01]respectively in female and middle-aged people in the GGT increase group compared with the GGT decrease group.There was no statistically significant difference in the risk of developing new MS in both male and elderly populations between the GGT increasing group and the decreasing group(P>0.05).Conclusions The increase in GGT is a risk factor for newly diagnosed MS,especially in female and middle-aged populations.

Objective To analyze the association between fatty liver index(FLI)and the risk of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus(DM)in people with different glucose metabolism.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted,with baseline data sourced from the Beijing sub center population of the REACTION study.The follow-up was conducted 3.2 years later.A total of 6425 non DM subjects were included in this study,and divided into four groups using the quartile method based on FLI level:Q1(FLI＜11.68,n=1608),Q2(11.68≤FLI＜24.33,n=1607),Q3(24.33≤FLI＜44.73,n=1604)and Q4(FLI≥44.73,n=1606).Results During follow-up,a total of 556 new DM patients were found,with a cumulative incidence rate of 8.7%.Logistic regression analysis showed that FLI level was an independent risk factor for new DM patients,whether in non-DM people,NGT subgroups or IGR subgroups.In non DM population,the risk of developing new DM in the Q1,Q2,Q3 is 1.650 times(95%CI 1.200～2.290,P=0.002),2.040 times(95%CI 1.420～2.940,P＜0.001),and 2.950 times(95%CI 1.860～4.670,P＜0.001)higher than that in the Q1,respectively.In the NGT population,the risk of newly diagnosed DM in the Q3,Q4 is 1.670 times higher(95%CI 1.010～2.750,P=0.045)and 2.320 times higher(95%CI 1.410～3.800,P=0.001)than that in the first quartile,respectively.FLI level is an independent risk factor for newly diagnosed DM in the IGR population(P=0.012).The risk of newly diagnosed DM in the Q2,Q3,Q4 is 1.480 times(95%CI 1.080～2.020,P=0.015),1.620 times(95%CI 1.190～2.220,P=0.002),and 1.630 times(95%CI 1.180～2.250,P=0.003)higher than that in the Q1 respectively.Conclusions FLI is significantly associated with the risk of new onset DM in both NGT and IGR populations,and is an independent risk factor for newly diagnosed DM.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of uric acid(UA)in regulating the larval growth and development of Drosophila melanogaster.Methods A total of 1350 newly hatched first-instar larvae of wild-type Drosophila melanogaster(W11 18)were collected,and the Drosophila melanogaster model of hyperurice-mia was constructed with a high purine diet.The larvae were assigned into three groups(n=150):control(stand-ard corn meal medium),low-dose adenine(corn meal medium containing 0.05％adenine),and high-dose ad-enine(corn meal medium containing 0.10％adenine),and two parallel groups were set up.The growth and de-velopment of larvae in each group was observed,and the UA and hormone levels were measured.In addition,the expression levels of genes involved in growth and development were determined.Results Compared with the con-trol group,the low-and high-dose adenine groups showed elevated UA levels(both P＜0.001)and prolonged de-velopmental period(P=0.024,P＜0.001).The high-dose adenine group showed decreased survival rate,pupa-tion rate,and eclosion rate and elevated levels of juvenile hormone(JH)and 20-hydroxyecdysone(20E)(all P＜0.001).The PCR results showed that compared with the control group,high-dose adenine upregulated the mRNA levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),forkhead box O(FOXO),and mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)while downregulating the mRNA levels of Sestrin,mTOR complex 1(mTORC1),and AMP-activated protein kinase(all P＜0.001).Conclusion High concentrations of UA may promote the expression of ROS/FOXO/mTORC1/mTOR signaling pathway by regulating the levels of JH and 20E,thereby inhibiting the larval growth and development of Drosophila melanogaster.
