BACKGROUND:Titanium elastic intramedullary nailing for the treatment of significantly displaced midshaft clavicle fractures has the characteristics of minimally invasive and elastic fixation.The displacement of the fracture is closely related to the later function.However,there are few studies on the three-dimensional displacement analysis of the fracture ends before surgery and after intramedullary fixation such as titanium elastic intramedullary nailing.OBJECTIVE:To explore the three-dimensional displacement of fracture ends after midshaft clavicle fracture and fixation with titanium elastic intramedullary nails,and to analyze the risk factors.METHODS:A total of 91 patients with midshaft clavicle fracture(fracture end shortening ≥15 mm)admitted to Wendeng Orthopedic Hospital of Shandong Province from April 2019 to April 2024 were selected,including 57 males and 34 females,aged(51.73±10.21)years old.All patients received closed reduction and internal fixation with titanium elastic intramedullary nail.CT scans of the affected clavicle were performed before and on the first day after surgery.The CT data were imported into Mimics software for modeling.The length of the clavicle,lateral displacement of the fracture end,and rotation of the distal end of the fracture along the X,Y,and Z axes were measured and recorded before and after surgery.Pearson correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis of various parameters,and generalized linear regression was used to evaluate risk factors.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Preoperatively,the variable that increased the risk of lateral displacement was the number of comminuted bone fragments,the variable that increased the risk of shortening displacement was male patients,and the variable that increased the risk of Z-axis rotation was the left limb.Shortening displacement was significantly positively correlated with lateral displacement(r=0.715,P＜0.001);shortening displacement was significantly positively correlated with X-axis rotation displacement and Y-axis rotation displacement(r=0.265,P=0.028;r=0.303,P=0.011);lateral displacement was significantly positively correlated with Y-axis rotation and Z-axis rotation(r=0.258,P=0.032;r=0.250,P=0.038);X-axis rotation was significantly positively correlated with Y-axis rotation(r=0.382,P=0.001),and Z-axis rotation was significantly positively correlated with Y-axis rotation(r=0.280,P=0.020).(2)Postoperatively:The number of scapula fractures and comminuted bone fragments were variables that increased the risk of postoperative shortening and lateral displacement:Preoperative X-,Y-,and Z-axis rotation displacements were risk variables that increased postoperative X-,Y-,and Z-axis rotation displacements,respectively.Postoperative lateral displacement was significantly positively correlated with postoperative shortening and displacement(r=0.584,P=0.000),and postoperative lateral displacement was also significantly positively correlated with postoperative Y axis rotation and Z axis rotation(r=0.360,P=0.002;r=0.250,P=0.038).Postoperative Y axis rotation was significantly positively correlated with postoperative Z axis rotation(r=0.248,P=0.040).(3)The results showed that the three-dimensional displacement of the clavicle end before and after surgery was affected by many factors,especially the number of comminuted bone fragments,scapula fractures,gender,and original rotation displacement.At the same time,there were complex correlations between various displacements,especially the correlation between shortening displacement and lateral displacement was the strongest.

ObjectiveTo analyze the temporal trend of knockdown resistance (kdr) gene mutations highly correlated with pyrethroid resistance in field populations of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating rational insecticide use strategies. MethodsAdult mosquito samples of Aedes aegypti from 2016 to 2023 and larvae mosquito samples from July 2022 to June 2023 were collected in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province. Allele specific PCR (AS-PCR) was used to measure kdr mutations at amino acid positions 989, 1016 and 1534 of the voltage-gated sodium ion channel (VGSC) gene. Data such as mutation rate and mutation allele frequency were calculated, SPSS software was used to perform trend chi square tests on mutation rate and mutation allele frequency with year and month, as well as comparison of mutation allele frequencies and genotype distributions between the dry and rainy seasons, thereby delineating the temporal trend of kdr gene mutations. ResultsAmong the 173 samples collected from 2016 to 2023, the mutation rates of S989P and V1016G were 100.00% for each year, while the mutation rate of F1534C ranged from 62.50% to 100.00%. The mutation rate and mutation allele frequency of F1534C were increased over the years (χ²=22.079, P<0.001; χ²=42.971, P<0.001). Concurrently, the proportion of the PPGGCC genotype was increased annually (χ²=60.790, P<0.001). Among the 288 samples collected from July 2022 to June 2023, the monthly mutation rates for S989P, V1016G, and F1534C were consistently 100.00%. There was only one type of mutation present, namely S989P+V1016G+F1534C. In the combinations of the three genotypes, the SPGGCC genotype accounted for 1.39% (4/288), the PPGGFC accounted for 2.78% (8/288), and the PPGGCC had the highest proportion at 95.83% (276/288). After tesiting the samples collected in August 2023, the mutation rates of 989, 1016 and 1534 sites of VGSC in females, males, and larvae of the same generation were all 100.00%. ConclusionSince 2016, the gene mutations at S989P and V1016G loci in the VGSC gene of wild Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City have remained consistently at 100.00%, while the mutation rate and mutant allele frequency of F1534C have increased year by year during the testing period. By 2023, the mutation rates at three loci in the VGSC gene of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City had all reached 100.00%, and neither changes in insect developmental stage nor gender differences during transmission exerted a detectable impact on the mutation rates. In the control of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City, the use of pyrethroid insecticides should be stopped or reduced, and regular monitoring of kdr genes should be carried out to promptly detect new mutations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of a novel filter's retraction hook capture technique of pull-assisted method for the endovascular retrieval of conical inferior vena cava (IVC) filters whose hook attached to the wall.Methods:From January 2020 to December 2024, patients with conical filters whose hook attached to the wall admitted at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were enrolled consecutively.Results:A total of 46 patients underwent filter retrieval using filter's retraction hook capture technique of pull-assisted method. Among these patients, 39 cases (84.8%) were successful in filter retrieval, with the penetration distance of cranial anchor vertex of 3.3(2.5, 4.4) mm, and 13 (33.3%) filters were deformed. The other 7 cases were unsuccessful, with a penetration distance of cranial anchor vertex of 5.0 (4.3, 5.0) mm, and 6 (85.7%) filters were deformed. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). One case (2.2%) had IVC injury, one case (2.2%) experienced filter fracture, and no symptomatic pulmonary embolism occurred. Logistic regression analysis showed that filter deformation was an independent dangerous factor for filter's retraction. Conclusions:Filter's retraction hook capture technique of pull-assisted method is effective in removing conical filters whose hook attached to the wall, with no symptomatic PE occurring. This method can be considered as a new adjuvant technique for filter retrieval.

Background and Aims:Acute inferior vena cava thrombosis(IVCT)commonly occurs secondary to inferior vena cava filter(VCF)implantation.If not promptly treated,it may lead to serious complications such as bilateral lower limb swelling and pulmonary embolism and can also reduce the likelihood of successful filter retrieval.Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy(PMT)and catheter-directed thrombolysis(CDT)are currently the main interventional treatments for IVCT,but comparative studies evaluating their efficacy and safety remain limited.This study was to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy versus conventional CDT in the treatment of acute IVCT and to explore factors influencing filter retrieval rates,thereby providing evidence-based guidance for clinical decision-making.Methods:From January 2022 to December 2024,patients diagnosed with acute IVCT following VCF implantation were prospectively enrolled at the Department of Vascular Surgery,Beijing Jishuitan Hospital,Capital Medical University.Patients were randomly assigned to either the CDT group(n=46)or the PMT group(n=48)according to the interventional procedure used.The two groups were compared in terms of filter retrieval rates,thrombus clearance outcomes,operative time,thrombolytic drug dosage,and incidence of complications.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with primary filter retrieval.Results:A total of 94 patients were enrolled,with 46 in the CDT group and 48 in the PMT group.Compared to the CDT group,the PMT group demonstrated a significantly higher primary filter retrieval rate(77.1%vs.43.5%),grade Ⅲ thrombus clearance rate(70.8%vs.37.0%),and better postoperative thrombus scores.Additionally,the PMT group required lower urokinase doses and shorter thrombolysis duration(all P<0.05).The overall filter retrieval rate and 3-month IVC patency were similar between groups,both exceeding 93%.Regarding safety,the CDT group had a higher incidence of catheter-related infections and medical adhesive-related skin injury,while vagal reflex symptoms were more frequent in the PMT group.Logistic regression analysis identified thrombus clearance rate as an independent factor significantly associated with primary filter retrieval in the PMT group(OR=190.773,P<0.05).Conclusion:Compared to CDT,AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy combined with manual aspiration achieves higher thrombus clearance and primary filter retrieval rates in the treatment of acute IVCT while also reducing thrombolysis duration and drug dosage.However,attention should be paid to the increased risk of vagal reflex symptoms.There was no significant difference between the two groups in secondary filter retrieval rates or long-term IVC patency.The choice of intervention should be based on the patient's condition,timing of filter retrieval,and individualized clinical considerations.

Background and Aims:Acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common clinical condition. In the acute phase,it can lead to secondary complications such as acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and limb swelling,while in the chronic phase,it may result in post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS),posing significant health risks. Early mechanical thrombectomy can restore venous patency,alleviate symptoms,and reduce the incidence of PTS. AngioJet percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) offers the advantages of rapid and efficient thrombectomy with fewer complications,making it widely used in clinical practice. However,there are currently no standardized guidelines at home or abroad regarding the choice of access route for PMT. This study was performed to compare the clinical outcomes and effects on venous valve function of antegrade versus retrograde AngioJet PMT for treating acute lower extremity DVT,aiming to explore the optimal surgical approach for thrombectomy.Methods:A prospective,randomized controlled study was conducted,enrolling 96 patients with acute lower extremity DVT treated at the Department of Vascular Surgery,Beijing Jishuitan Hospital,Capital Medical University,from January 2022 to June 2024. Patients were divided into an antegrade group and a retrograde group based on the direction of operation and valve opening. Surgical outcomes and risks were evaluated for both groups,and factors influencing the 3-month postoperative venous patency rate were analyzed.Results:A total of 92 patients were finally included,with 47 cases in the antegrade group (51.1％) and 45 cases in the retrograde group (48.9％),all treated with AngioJet PMT. Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). In the antegrade group,14 cases (29.8％) had thrombus interception by filters,with 7 cases (14.9％) being effective;4 cases (8.5％) developed new or worsened PE. In the retrograde group,18 cases (40.0％) had thrombus interception by filters,with 8 cases (17.8％) being effective;5 cases (11.1％) developed new or worsened PE. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in these or other safety and laboratory variables (all P>0.05). The antegrade group had a higher proportion of intraoperative manual aspiration thrombectomy compared to the retrograde group (68.1％ vs. 26.7％,P<0.001). However,there were no significant differences in thrombus grade Ⅲ clearance rate (61.7％ vs. 68.9％),3-month venous patency rate (93.6％ vs. 91.1％),or other perioperative variables (all P>0.05). Regression analysis of factors affecting 3-month venous patency showed that immediate venous patency (OR=3.043,95％ CI=0.993-1.209) and radiation dose (OR=0.868,95％ CI=-0.001-0.000) in the antegrade group,as well as immediate venous patency (OR=2.333,95％ CI=0.655-0.980) in the retrograde group,were significantly associated with 3-month patency rate (all P<0.001). Regression analysis also showed a significant linear relationship between immediate venous patency and VCSS/Villalta scores in both groups (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Both antegrade and retrograde AngioJet PMT procedures are equally safe and effective for treating acute lower extremity DVT. However,the risk of intraoperative thrombus detachment remains high,warranting the use of inferior vena cava filters to prevent fatal PE. Patients with immediate venous patency require standardized postoperative management and follow-up to prevent PTS.
