Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block is widely used in perioperative pain management of hip fracture patients,which not only provides better analgesia,but also reduces the use of opioids,while tradi-tional techniques such as femoral nerve block and iliofascial space block often result in motor block,which is not conducive to the early rehabilitation of patients.The newly proposed pericapsular nerve block and iliopsoas plane block of the hip can preserve motor function while providing satisfactory analgesia,further in-depth re-search has found that it has great significance in the diagnosis and treatment process of patients with hip frac-tures.This article reviews the innervation of the hip joint,the methods of operation and clinical application of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve block and iliopsoas plane block of the hip joint,in order to provide refer-ence for clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and the risk factors of heart disease(HD)in adults aged ≥80 years old in China based on the data from the 8th round of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey(CLHLS).Methods A total of 7 675 adults aged ≥80 years old were enrolled from the 8th round of CLHLS dataset.Chi-square tests were employed to examine associations between cardiovascular disease and demographic characteristics,socioeconomic status,social support,lifestyle factors,and health indicators.Logistic regression models were developed to analyze significant predictors of heart disease in the elderly.Results The prevalence of heart disease was 16％(n=1 228)in 7 675 elderly people.Aged 90-99 years old(odds ratio[OR]=0.816),≥100 years old(OR=0.641),female(OR=0.833),and low body mass index(BMI)(＜18.5 kg/m2,OR=0.778)were the protective factors for cardiovascular disease in the elderly;and high BMI(24.0 to 27.9 kg/m2,OR=1.209),rural residence(OR=2.384),health examination(OR=1.164),dysfunction of daily living activities(OR=1.401),hypertension(OR=2.143),diabetes mellitus(OR=1.719),and history of cerebrovascular accident(OR=2.080)were risk factors.Conclusion Male,overweight,rural residence,health examination,dysfunction of daily living activities,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,and a history of cerebrovascular accident are the risk factors for heart disease in the elderly.

Objective To analyze the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital in the past 7 years,and to provide reference for clinical treatment and prevention and control strategies of fun-gal infection.Methods The fungal data and clinical data of related patients isolated from clinical samples in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from early January 2018 to the end of May 2024 were selected,and the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital were identified and described through multi-angle statistical analysis.Results A total of 4 479 patients with filamentous fungal infection were en-rolled.The proportion of male patients[57.5％(2 576/4 479)]was higher than that of female patients[42.5％(1 903/4 143)],mainly distributed in internal medicine,Intensive Care Unit(ICU)and emergency de-partment,among which internal medicine accounted for the highest proportion[50.0％(2 241/4 479)].About 90.0％of the specimens were from the lower respiratory tract,in addition to specimens from skin and soft tis-sue,tissue,ear and blood culture.In terms of seasonal distribution,there are more patients in winter.The fun-gi were mainly composed of Aspergillus,Mucor,Cerdosporium,Fusarium and Penicillium,among which As-pergillus was the most abundant,accounting for 74.6％of the total.Aspergillus fumigatus was the most a-bundant Aspergillus,accounting for 42.5％of the total Aspergillus(1 418/3 340).Among the related infec-tions caused by mold,Aspergillus was the most common in the lower respiratory tract,accounting for 76.8％.Among them,Aspergillus fumigatus accounted for the highest proportion(33.6％).98.6％of the molds infected the ear were Aspergillus,of which Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus were the most common.Skin infections are mainly caused by Sporothrix schenckii,Trichophyton rubrum,Microsporum ca-nis.The results of in vitro drug sensitivity test showed that the four common Aspergillus isolated in this hos-pital were sensitive to voriconazole,and amphotericin B had better antifungal activity against Mucorales in vitro.Conclusion Based on the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infections in this hospital,it is recommended that special attention be paid to the admission of patients in the respiratory department during the peak infection period in autumn and winter.In the treatment of fungal infections in different regions and on different body parts,attention should be paid to the differences in the distribution of bacterial species.

Objective:To compare the dosimetric characteristics of helical tomotherapy (HT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) after left breast conserving surgery.Methods:Twenty-four patients with left breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery who were admitted to the Department of Radiation Oncology of Tumor Hospital of Yunnan Province from May 2016 to May 2019 were selected. The HT plan and the VMAT plan were designed for the same patient. The target dose and the dose volume parameters of organs at risk were compared and analyzed in the two radiotherapy plans.Results:There were significant differences in the D 2% [(59.68±0.46) Gy vs. (60.06±0.20) Gy, t=-4.229, P<0.001], D 98% [(57.46±0.44) Gy vs. (57.20±0.07) Gy, t=2.912, P<0.001], conformity index (CI) (0.80±0.05 vs. 0.76±0.04, t=4.079, P<0.001) and homogeneity index (HI) (0.04±0.01 vs. 0.05±0.00, t=-5.505, P<0.001) of the planning gross tumor volume (PGTV) between the HT and VMAT plans. However, there was no significant difference in the D 50% [(58.77±0.46) Gy vs. (58.75±0.11) Gy, t=0.179, P=0.859]. There were significant differences in the D 50% [(51.99±0.39) Gy vs. (52.39±0.36) Gy, t=-5.278, P<0.001], D 98% [(49.46±0.29) Gy vs. (48.35±0.46) Gy, t=9.538, P<0.001] and HI (0.19±0.01 vs. 0.21±0.01, t=-7.538, P<0.001) of the planned target volume (PTV) between the two plans. However, there were no significant differences in the D 2% [(59.13±0.64) Gy vs. (59.09±0.46) Gy, t=0.511, P=0.614] and CI (0.83±0.04 vs. 0.82±0.04, t=1.637, P=0.115). In terms of organs at risk, there were significant differences in the V 5 [(57.90±1.42)% vs. (52.40±5.74)%, t=4.812, P<0.001], V 20 [(22.40±2.17)% vs. (18.40±3.16)%, t=5.573, P<0.001] and D mean [(12.71±0.55) Gy vs. (11.46±1.26) Gy, t=4.963, P<0.001] of left lung, D mean of right lung [(3.42±0.27) Gy vs. (2.49±0.24) Gy, t=13.310, P<0.001], D mean of right breast [(4.41±0.50) Gy vs. (3.12±0.65) Gy, t=10.326, P<0.001], V 30 [(0.55±0.37)% vs. (1.24±1.11)%, t=-4.020, P=0.001] and D mean of heart [(4.68±0.62) Gy vs. (3.83±0.88) Gy, t=7.335, P<0.001], D mean of left atrium [(2.53±0.31) Gy vs. (2.16±0.28) Gy, t=5.488, P<0.001], D mean of right atrium [(2.77±0.43) Gy vs. (2.20±0.30) Gy, t=7.103, P<0.001], D mean of right ventricle [(5.10±0.72) Gy vs. (3.72±0.94) Gy, t=9.802, P<0.001] and D 2% of spinal cord [(14.79±2.73) Gy vs. (5.42±2.23) Gy, t=14.788, P<0.001] between HT and VMAT plans. There was no significant difference in the D mean of left ventricle [(5.10±1.19) Gy vs. (4.80±1.54) Gy, t=1.250, P=0.224]. Conclusion:Both the HT plan and the VMAT plan can meet the treatment requirements. The HT plan can provide better target area conformity and dose uniformity. The VMAT plan has more advantages in terms of organs at risk. The HT plan shows an advantage only in exposure to high-dose area.

Thoracentesis is common in daily medical practice. During the operation, it is easy to cause complications such as re-expansion pulmonary edema, pulmonary hypotension, liver and spleen injury, pleural reaction, intercostal artery injury, pneumothorax, and so on. If the operator does not master procedures properly, it is easy to damage the thoracic organs. Therefore, the department of the general practice of the First Hospital of Jiaxing improved the puncture needle device based on thoracic puncture cannula, developed a new type of disposable thoracic puncture cannula, and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2019 2 2112955.7). New type of disposable thoracic puncture cannula comprises a flexible puncture cannula, a steel needle, a limit structure, and a second bolt. In the process of puncture, the length of the puncture is limited by the limit structure. If the puncture force is too strong, the limit structure will prevent further penetration of the needle. The device is easy to use, flexible to operate, easy to master, and can reduce the risk of thoracentesis, which is worth of clinical promotion.
