Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To explore the effects of umbilical moxibustion combined with a multi-component exercise program on perioperative rehabilitation in frail elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures so as to provide evidence-based basis for optimizing clinical rehabilitation nursing pathways.Methods:A quasi-experimental study design was used. Convenience sampling was applied to frail select elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures, who were admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from January to October 2024. According to their admission time, the patients were divided into four groups: conventional nursing group, umbilical moxibustion group (conventional nursing+umbilical moxibustion), exercise group (conventional nursing+multicomponent exercise), and combination group (conventional nursing+umbilical moxibustion combined with multicomponent exercise), with 31 patients in each group. All the patients underwent internal fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation under anesthesia. The umbilical moxibustion protocol focused on Shenque acupoint, combined with liver-kidney-nourishing Chinese herbal powder, with each session lasting 20 minutes. The multi-component exercise program was designed in phases, including resistance, balance, and aerobic training. The Harris hip score (HHS), Tilburg frailty indicator (TFI), falls efficacy scale-international (FES-I), and Chinese version of the short form-36 health survey (SF-36) scores were compared among the four groups preoperatively, at 1 month, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up.Results:A total of 124 elderly patients were involved, including 50 males and 74 females, aged 60-80 years [(71.8±5.0)years]. All the patients were followed up for 6 months. The results of generalized estimating equation showed that the HHS, TFI, FES-I, and SF-36 scores differed significantly in terms of group effect, time effect, and interaction effect among the four groups across all the time points ( P<0.05). Simple effect analysis indicated no significant differences in preoperative HHS, TFI, FES-I, or SF-36 scores among the four groups ( P>0.05). The HHS scores at 1 and 3 months postoperatively were (54.3±5.1)points and (65.7±6.3)points in the umbilical moxibustion group, (61.3±5.3)points and (74.5±6.8)points in the exercise group, and (66.5±5.2)points and (86.3±6.7)points in the combination group, which were all significantly higher than (50.2±4.5)points and (60.7±5.1)points in the conventional nursing group ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing higher scores than the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the HHS score was (77.3±6.0)points in the conventional nursing group and (77.0±5.9)points in the umbilical moxibustion group ( P>0.05); the score was (83.8±4.7)points in the exercise group and (91.4±3.5)points in the combination group, which were significantly higher than that in the conventional nursing group ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing higher score than those in the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). At 1 month, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the TFI total scores were 5.0(3.0, 7.0)points, 3.0(1.0, 5.0)points, and 3.0(0.0, 4.0)points in the umbilical moxibustion group, 4.0(1.0, 6.0)points, 2.0(0.0, 5.0)points, and 2.0(0.0, 3.0)points in the exercise group, and 2.0(0.0, 5.0)points, 1.0(0.0, 2.0)points, and 0.0(0.0, 1.0)points in the combination group, which were all significantly lower than those in the conventional nursing group [7.0(5.0, 10.0)points, 7.0(5.0, 9.0)points, and 6.0(5.0, 8.0)points, respectively] ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing lower scores than the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). The physical and social dimension scores of TFI at 1 month, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up were significantly lower in the umbilical moxibustion group, exercise group, and combination group than those in the conventional nursing group ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing the lower scores than those in the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). At 1 month postoperatively, no statistically significant difference was observed among the four groups in the psychological dimension scores of TFI ( P>0.05). At 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up, the psychological dimension scores of TFI in the umbilical moxibustion group, exercise group, and combination group were all lower than those in the conventional nursing group ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing the lower scores than those in the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). At 1 month, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the FES-I scores were (45.3±4.3)points, (40.9±3.9)points, and (33.9±2.8)points, respectively in the umbilical moxibustion group, (38.7±3.8)points, (32.9±3.6)points, and (30.3±2.2)points, respectively in the exercise group, and (34.2±3.6)points, (30.2±2.6)points, and (27.9±1.3)points, respectively in the combination group, which were all significantly lower than those in the conventional nursing group [(50.9±4.9)points, (50.0±4.9)points, and (40.7±4.2)points] ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing lower scores than those in the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). At 1 month, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the SF-36 physical health scores were (60.6±3.7)points, (76.1±3.5)points, and (78.4±2.6)points, respectively in the umbilical moxibustion group, (57.6±3.7)points, (78.4±3.7)points, and (80.4±3.1)points, respectively in the exercise group, and (65.7±3.1)points, (85.9±2.9)points, and (87.4±2.2)points, respectively in the combination group, which were all significantly higher than those in the conventional nursing group [(47.5±4.6)points, (65.9±4.6)points, and (68.3±4.4)points] ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing higher scores than those in the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). At 1 month, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the SF-36 mental health scores were (59.7±4.1)points, (74.5±3.6)points, and (76.2±3.0)points, respectively in the umbilical moxibustion group, (59.4±4.6)points, (74.1±3.8)points, and (74.4±3.9)points, respectively in the exercise group, and (66.9±4.1)points, (81.6±3.3)points, and (79.9±3.7)points, respectively in the combination group, which were all significantly higher than those in the conventional nursing group [(52.8±5.2)points, (64.0±4.9)points, and (65.3±5.1)points] ( P<0.05), with the combination group showing higher scores than those in the umbilical moxibustion group and exercise group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fracture combined with frailty, umbilical moxibustion combined with a multi-component exercise program can significantly improve hip function, reduce frailty and fall risk, and enhance quality of life.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 18F-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-42 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT for bone metastasis in patients with malignant tumors. Methods:From January 2022 to October 2023, the data of 238 patients (160 males, 78 females; age: 58(50, 66) years) with various malignant tumors who underwent both 18F-FAPI-42 and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were retrospectively reviewed. An abnormal focal radioactive uptake in bones on the PET images was considered as positive lesion for bone metastasis. The efficacy of 2imaging methods and the supplementary role of CT in the diagnosis of bone metastasis were evaluated by McNemar test. Results:Of 238 patients, 95 were with bone metastases and 143 were without bone metastases, including 436 lesions with bone metastases and 358 lesions without bone metastases. Based on the visual analysis, 18F-FAPI-42 PET showed a higher diagnostic sensitivity than 18F-FDG PET (98.4%(429/436) vs 86.5%(377/436); χ2=41.95, P<0.001), while 18F-FDG PET had a higher diagnostic specificity than 18F-FAPI-42 PET (83.2%(298/358) vs 70.4%(252/358); χ2=22.50, P<0.001), and the accuracies of both methods were similar (85.8%(681/794) vs 85.0%(675/794); χ2=0.16, P=0.685). However, when the positive lesions seen in PET were analyzed combined with the image features on CT by the same scanner, the diagnostic specificity of 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT was significantly improved compared to that of 18F-FAPI-42 PET alone (91.3%(327/358) vs 70.4%(252/358); χ2=73.01, P<0.001), and was similar to 18F-FDG PET/CT (93.0%(333/358); χ2=0.78, P=0.377). Meanwhile, this combined analysis brought a higher sensitivity and accuracy of 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT than 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing bone metastases (sensitivity: 98.4%(429/436) vs 86.5%(377/436); χ2=41.95, P<0.001; accuracy: 95.2%(756/794) vs 89.4%(710/794); χ2=21.54, P<0.001). Conclusions:The diagnostic sensitivity of 18F-FAPI-42 PET for bone metastasis is superior to 18F-FDG PET, but the specificity is lower. However, when CT features is combined for analysis, the diagnostic specificity of 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT is significantly improved, which thus can be used to diagnose bone metastasis accurately and is superior to 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Radiochemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) is a common oral complication in patients with tumors following head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Erosion and ulcers are the main features of OM that seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even the progress of tumor treatment. To date, differences in clinical prevention and treatment plans for OM have been noted among doctors of various specialties, which has increased the uncertainty of treatment effects. On the basis of current research evidence, this expert consensus outlines risk factors, clinical manifestations, clinical grading, ancillary examinations, diagnostic basis, prevention and treatment strategies and efficacy indicators for OM. In addition to strategies such as basic oral care, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, anti-infective agents, pro-healing agents, and photobiotherapy recommended in previous guidelines, we also emphasize the role of traditional Chinese medicine in OM prevention and treatment. This expert consensus aims to provide references and guidance for dental physicians and oncologists in formulating strategies for OM prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, standardizing clinical practice, reducing OM occurrence, promoting healing, and improving the quality of life of patients.
