Objective To establish an "human serum - porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC) - human platelets" in vitro model and explore the mechanism of xenotransplantation-related coagulation dysfunction mediated by immune complexes - platelet FcγRⅡa (CD32a) receptor. Methods Healthy human serum was co-incubated with PAEC to prepare the supernatant containing immune complexes, which was then used to stimulate healthy human platelets, or directly treated with the serum of xenogeneic liver transplant recipients. Flow cytometry was used to detect platelet activation markers CD62P and surface IgG binding levels, and the platelet adhesion function was evaluated by platelet-PAEC adhesion experiments. CD32a blocking antibody IV.3 and SYK blocker SKYIN 4 were used to clarify the signaling pathways. Results The supernatant from the co-incubation of healthy human serum and PAEC could significantly induce platelet activation and endothelial adhesion. The use of the serum from xenogeneic liver transplant recipients could also significantly induce platelet activation. Antibody IV.3 and SYK blocker SKYIN 4 could significantly inhibit these effects. Conclusions In xenotransplantation, the immune complexes formed by human serum antibodies and porcine endothelial antigens may induce abnormal platelet activation through the platelet CD32a receptor, which is an important mechanism of non-complement-dependent post-transplant coagulation dysfunction, providing a new target for the intervention of coagulation complications in xenotransplantation.

Objective:To explore the application value of integrated Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) induced by bacterial pneumonia sepsis.Methods:A total of 60 inpatients with bacterial pneumonia and sepsis admitted to the Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from October 2023 to June 2024 were collected in a cross-sectional study. Serum samples were collected, and immune indexes, coagulation function and some laboratory test results of the patients were detected or recorded. Sepsis Associated Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score were evaluated.Results:Among the 60 patients, 71.7%( n=43) were associated with coagulation disorder, 65%( n=39) showed hemorrhagic SIC; A total of 37 patients (61.7%) were treated with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, and 23 patients (38.3%) were treated with Western medicine. The main types of syndrome differentiation were toxic-heat syndrome ( n=48, 80.0%) and blood-stasis syndrome ( n=11, 18.3%). Serum human monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and platelet count (PLT) in patients with blood stasis syndrome were significantly lower than those in toxic-heat syndrome (all P<0.05). In patients with bacterial pneumonia sepsis, the total score of syndrome of excess of fu-viscera (Fu-shi-zheng) was positively correlated with programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) ( r=0.293, P=0.023) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) ( r=0.436, P=0.001). The total score of toxin-heat syndrome ( r=0.323, P=0.016) and excess of fu-viscera syndrome ( r=0.354, P=0.008) were positively correlated with prothrombin time (PT). PD-1 was positively correlated with SOFA score ( r=0.343, P=0.007) and APACHE Ⅱ score ( r=0.354, P=0.006). The PD-1 level and SOFA and APACHE Ⅱ scores of the patients treated with integrated Chinese and western medicine were significantly lower than those treated with Western medicine alone (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The combined intervention of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine based on " Fuzheng Touxie Jiedu (The method of strengthening the body and removing the toxin)" has strong clinical guiding significance, and can effectively improve the immune function and prognosis of bacterial pneumonia SIC.

Objective:Based on the adverse drug event active surveillance and assessment system-Ⅱ (ADE-ASAS-Ⅱ) and the information of inpatients in the hospital information system (HIS), the automatic monitoring module of movement disorders was constructed and its application effect in the real-world study of drug-induced movement disorders (DIMDs) was explored.Methods:Literature reviews, case reports, spontaneous reports and medical records were collected, the keyword set was screened based on ADE-ASAS-Ⅱ system and text classification technology, and an automatic monitoring module was constructed. The information of hospitalized patients in Chinese PLA General Hospital (our hospital) was selected from October 10 to 16, 2022. The results of manual evaluation and the system alarm by the automatic monitoring module were compared, and the performance of the automatic monitoring module was evaluated and optimized through repeated machine learning. The medical record information of hospitalized patients who used sodium valproate throughout the year in our hospital in 2022 were collected, and the occurrence of movement disorders related to sodium valproate was analyzed using the automatic monitoring module.Results:A total of 4 918 hospitalized patients (146 with movement disorders) were collected, and the final setting conditions of the automatic monitoring module were determined, including inclusion criteria (43 text keywords, 3 diagnosis) and exclusion criteria (11 text and 20 document titles were omitted). Among the 1 138 hospitalized patients using sodium valproate in 2022, the incidence of DIMDs with tic and tremor as main clinical manifestations detected by automatic monitoring module was 1.67% (19/1 138).Conclusion:The automatic monitoring module of drug-induced movement disorders based on machine learning and manual evaluation can be applied to explore the occurrence characteristics of DIMDs in the real world, and provide information for pharmacovigilance in clinic.

Severe intra-abdominal infections are life-threatening conditions and a significant challenge for surgeons. This article presents a case of an elderly patient with a severe intra-abdominal infection complicated by an anastomotic leak. This patient had experienced prolonged sepsis and multiple surgical traumas. Upon admission to our department, exploratory surgery revealed extensive bowel edema and adhesions, an anastomotic leak, and abdominal contamination with infection. In accordance with the principles of damage control surgery, the anastomotic leak was exteriorized, the abdomen was left open, and continuous intra-abdominal lavage with dual-lumen catheters was implemented to effectively control the infection. Negative pressure wound therapy was used to manage the open abdomen, and a negative pressure-assisted drainage device was used to manage the enteroatmospheric fistula. After granulation of the abdominal wound, split-thickness skin grafting was performed. The enteroatmospheric fistula was converted into an enterocutaneous fistula. A 3D-printed stoma baseplate was used to manage the digestive fistula. Concurrently, enhanced parenteral and enteral nutritional support was provided. Six months later, the patient successfully underwent definitive fistula resection and abdominal wall defect repair.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in the comprehensive management of full-thickness perineal wound dehiscence following pelvic exenteration (PE).Methods:This study employed a descriptive case series design. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 29 patients who developed postoperative perineal wound infections with full-thickness dehiscence after PE. These cases included 16 patients from the Department of General Surgery at Jiangyin People's Hospital (Jiangsu Province) and 13 patients from the Department of Colorectal Surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Changzheng Hospital). VSD was applied to manage the dehisced wounds, with outcomes assessed based on wound healing time, complications, and follow-up data.Results:A total of 29 patients were included in the study. The operative time for PE was (498 ± 83) minutes. Among them, 23 patients underwent combined sacrococcygeal resection. The median number of VSD devices used was 28 (22, 39). The postoperative perineal wound healing time was 95 (82, 110) days in patients who underwent combined sacrococcygeal resection, 74 (63, 89) days in those without sacrococcygeal resection, 93 (79, 102) days in those treated with simple pelvic-abdominal isolation using a biological basement membrane mesh and 76 (60, 91) days in those who received combined pelvic packing with a pedicled omental flap. All patients uniformly developed Clavien-Dindo grade III complications at 2 weeks postoperatively, manifesting as perineal wound infection and dehiscence, which were successfully managed with VSD therapy. Subsequent evaluation identified delayed (>30 days) grade III complications, including enterocutaneous (3 cases) and urinary (2 cases) fistulae, all requiring surgical revision. All patients completed the follow-up at 6 months postoperatively. Three patients still presented with minimal exudate from the perineal wound, which resolved after standardized wound care and packing with alginate silver ion dressings. Four cases (13.8%) developed stoma high-output syndrome, which improved after oral medication. Eight patients (27.6%) developed adhesive intestinal obstruction, which improved with conservative treatment.Conclusions:VSD demonstrates unique advantages in managing complex wounds. For full-thickness perineal wound dehiscence after PE, VSD is a safe and effective therapeutic strategy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)recon-struction using ligament augmentation and reconstruction system(LARS)artificial ligament,and ana-lyze factors affecting the prognosis.Methods A total of 45 patients(31 males and 14 females,with an average age of 38.0±12.8 years)underwent PCL reconstruction using LARS artificial ligament in China-Japan Friendship Hospital in years from 2018 to 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.Their aver-age time from injury to surgery of 2.8±4.2 months.They were followed up for no less than 1 year about the stability of knee,Lysholm score and Tegner score,as well as the patient's satisfaction.Moreover,the effect of patient's age,time from injury to surgery,and complications of other ligament injuries of the knee on the final outcomes were analyzed.Results For all the 45 patients,the mean follow-up time was 35.0±14.1 months,with their satisfaction rate of 91.1%.There were 31 cases of 3° instability and 14 cases of 2° instability before surgery,which improved significantly as only 4 cas-es were of 2° instability,22 cases of 1° instability at the final follow-up(χ2=77.56,P<0.000).More-over,the average Lysholm and Tegner scores increased significantly from 37.2±15.2 and 0.9±0.9,to 85.3±12.7 and 4.4±1.3,respectively(t=16.34,P<0.000;t=15.72,P<0.000).What's more,the age of over 40 years had effect on the prognosis,while the time from injury to surgery and the com-plicated ligament injuries of the knee did not.Conclusion Using LARS artificial ligament as graft for PCL reconstruction can achieve satisfactory clinical results on the short-term.

A case of maxillary sinus cyst removal via lateral wall fenestration combined with sinus floor elevation and implant placement was reported.A 52-year-old female presented with bilateral posterior maxillary tooth loss.Preoperative CBCT revealed two dome-shaped pseudocysts at the right maxillary sinus floor,with intact sinus walls.During surgery,lateral wall fenestration was performed,followed by cyst aspiration and removal.The sinus mucosa was repaired using an absorbable collagen barrier membrane(Bio-Gide?),and deprotein-ized bovine bone matrix(Bio-Oss?)was implanted for bone augmentation.Postoperative CBCT at 9 months showed ideal bone height and density at the sinus floor,with no cyst recurrence and successful osseointegration of implants.The results suggest that concurrent cyst re-moval during sinus floor elevation could achieve stable bone augmentation when large cysts compromise the procedure.

Objective To observe the effects of four different modeling method on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal(HPA)axis,blood rheology,platelet aggregation rate,and myocardial ischemia in rats,and to provide new ideas for the establishment of a rat model of"double heart"disease in line with clinical diagnosis and treatment characteristics.Methods Sixty-nine male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into a Control group(unstimulated),chronic unpredictable mild stimulation(CUMS)group,isoproterenol(ISO)group(intraperitoneal injection of ISO),high-fat diet(HFD)group(fed high-fat chow),and composite model(CUMS+ISO+HFD)group(n=12 rats in the Control and HFD groups;n=15 rats in the other three groups,respectively).Modeling procedures were carried out for a total of 8 weeks,with ISO injection started from week 6 of the experiment for a total of 3 weeks.At the end of modeling,rats in each group were subjected to absent-field and sugar-water preference behavioral tests.Electrocardiography(ECG)was performed to observe changes in ECG lead Ⅱ in each group.Serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH),cortisol(Cor),corticosterone(CORT),endothelin-1(ET-1),and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Myocardial histopathological changes were detected by hematoxylin/eosin(HE)staining.Serum total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were measured using an enzyme labeling instrument.Whole-blood high-cut viscosity(200 V/S),whole-blood low-cut viscosity(10 I/S),plasma viscosity,and fibrinogen were assessed using an automatic blood rheology analyzer.The maximum platelet aggregation rate(MAR)and average platelet aggregation rate(AAR)induced by arachidonic acid and adenosine diphosphate were detected using a whole-blood platelet aggregometer.Results Compared with the Control group,all four model groups had significantly lower absenteeism distance and number of entries into the central region in the absent-field test,and a lower sugar-water preference ratio(P＜0.01).ECG revealed ST-segment elevation in the ISO and CUMS+ISO+HFD groups,tachycardia in the CUMS group,and mild ST-segment elevation in the HFD.Serum ACTH,Cor,CORT,ET-1,and sICAM-1 were all significantly elevated in the four model groups(P＜0.01).HE staining showed that myocardial tissue was severely damaged in rats in the ISO and CUMS+ISO+HFD groups,with pathological changes such as localized fibrosis and inflammatory infiltration of the myocardium,while mild cardiomyocyte disarrangement and fracture was seen in the CUMS and HFD groups.Rats in the HFD group had increased serum TC and LDL(P＜0.01)and decreased HDL contents(P＜0.01).Compared with the Control group,whole-blood high-cut viscosity(200 V/S),whole-blood low-cut viscosity(10 I/S),plasma viscosity,and fibrinogen were all increased in the CUMS,HFD,and CUMS+ISO+HFD groups(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),while whole blood high-cut viscosity(200 V/S),whole blood low-cut viscosity(10 I/S),plasma viscosity,and fibrinogen levels were decreased in rats in the ISO group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).MAR and AAR were significantly higher in rats in the CUMS,HFD,and CUMS+ISO+HFD groups(P＜0.01),while the platelet aggregation rate was decreased in the ISO group compared with the Control group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusions These result showed that the rat CUMS+ISO+HFD model better reflected the complexity of clinical double heart disease than the other three models.

Objective:To explore the surgical methods and treatment outcomes of nasal endoscopic surgery for nasal deformity secondary to unilateral cleft lip and palate, combined with nasal septal deviation, using nasal septal cartilage and bone.Methods:Eleven patients who underwent surgical treatment for unilateral cleft lip and palate secondary to nasal deformity in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Linyi People′s Hospital, Shandong Second Medical University, from March 2021 to March 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort included 8 males and 3 females, aged (22.0±8.4) years (range: 17 to 35 years). Preoperatively, all of them underwent CT scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction of the nasal bones and sinuses to evaluate the size of the nasal septal cartilage and the design of the material to be taken, and to assess the degree of nasal deformity. During the operation, an open “V”-shaped incision was made through the nasal columella, and part of the septal bone and cartilage were removed under direct nasal endoscopic visualization. The septal cartilage and bony structures were used to correct the nasal deformity, and a nasal brace was used as an intraoperative support for the reconstruction of the nasal cartilage, which was then worn for 1 month after the operation to maintain a stable nasal shape. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used before and after surgery to assess the patient′s satisfaction with the nasal shape and the degree of nasal ventilation. Corresponding data on both sides of the external nose were measured, including nasal tip height, nostril height, nostril width, nasal base width, and nasal columella inclination, to assess the symmetry of the external nose objectively. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis to evaluate the surgical results.Results:The surgical incisions of all 11 patients healed at stage Ⅰ. At 6-24 months of postoperative follow-up, nasal symmetry was restored, and the nostrils were equal in size. The difference in symmetry indexes before and after the surgery was statistically significant. The t value for nasal tip height, the nostril height, the nostril width, the nasal base width, and the nasal columellar inclination were 4.21, 2.26, 3.38, 3.65, and 2.36, respectively (all P<0.05). Postoperative incision scarring was not obvious, and patients were satisfied with the nasal appearance [VAS score (9.14±0.48) points vs (3.45±1.23) points, t=14.29, P<0.001], and nasal ventilation was significantly improved [VAS score (9.32±1.24) points vs (4.61±0.85) points, t=10.39, P<0.001]. Conclusion:Nasal endoscopic surgery using septal cartilage and bone to treat nasal deformity secondary to unilateral cleft lip and palate, combined with deviated septum, can simultaneously improve the patients′ nasal shape and nasal ventilation, yielding good clinical outcomes.
