ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for postpancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) after minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) and their association with major complications, to improve the understanding of PPAP and postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), and to reduce the incidence rates of PPAP and POPF. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 114 patients who underwent MIPD in Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China, from March 2015 to December 2023, and the definition of PPAP and its diagnostic criteria provided by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery were used to determine the presence or absence of PPAP. The independent samples t-test or the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the Dunn-test was used for further comparison between two groups.; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups., and the Bonferroni-test was used for further comparison between two groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for PPAP after MIPD. ResultsOf all 114 patients undergoing MIPD, 27 (23.7%) experienced PPAP. The multivariate analysis showed that main pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm (odds ratio [OR]=5.083, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.703 — 15.172, P=0.004), soft pancreatic texture (OR=5.925, 95%CI: 1.986 — 17.677, P=0.001), and C-reactive protein ≥180 mg/L on day 1 after surgery (OR=5.419, 95%CI: 1.586 — 18.513, P=0.007) were independent risk factors for the onset of PPAP after MIPD. Clinical analyses showed that the patients with PPAP tended to have significantly higher incidence rates of POPF, peritoneal infection, Clavien-Dindo grade 3/4 complications, discharge with tube, and 90-day postoperative death (χ2=5.676, 5.460, 9.863, 5.439, and 4.207, all P<0.05). ConclusionMain pancreatic duct diameter, pancreatic texture, and C-reactive protein on day 1 after surgery are closely associated with the onset of PPAP after MIPD, and PPAP can lead to other postoperative complications and even death.

Electromagnetic fields can regulate the fundamental biological processes involved in bone remodeling. As a non-invasive physical therapy, electromagnetic fields with specific parameters have demonstrated therapeutic effects on bone remodeling diseases, such as fractures and osteoporosis. Electromagnetic fields can be generated by the movement of charged particles or induced by varying currents. Based on whether the strength and direction of the electric field change over time, electromagnetic fields can be classified into static and time-varying fields. The treatment of bone remodeling diseases with static magnetic fields primarily focuses on fractures, often using magnetic splints to immobilize the fracture site while studying the effects of static magnetic fields on bone healing. However, there has been relatively little research on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis using static magnetic fields. Pulsed electromagnetic fields, a type of time-varying field, have been widely used in clinical studies for treating fractures, osteoporosis, and non-union. However, current clinical applications are limited to low-frequency, and research on the relationship between frequency and biological effects remains insufficient. We believe that different types of electromagnetic fields acting on bone can induce various “secondary physical quantities”, such as magnetism, force, electricity, acoustics, and thermal energy, which can stimulate bone cells either individually or simultaneously. Bone cells possess specific electromagnetic properties, and in a static magnetic field, the presence of a magnetic field gradient can exert a certain magnetism on the bone tissue, leading to observable effects. In a time-varying magnetic field, the charged particles within the bone experience varying Lorentz forces, causing vibrations and generating acoustic effects. Additionally, as the frequency of the time-varying field increases, induced currents or potentials can be generated within the bone, leading to electrical effects. When the frequency and power exceed a certain threshold, electromagnetic energy can be converted into thermal energy, producing thermal effects. In summary, external electromagnetic fields with different characteristics can generate multiple physical quantities within biological tissues, such as magnetic, electric, mechanical, acoustic, and thermal effects. These physical quantities may also interact and couple with each other, stimulating the biological tissues in a combined or composite manner, thereby producing biological effects. This understanding is key to elucidating the electromagnetic mechanisms of how electromagnetic fields influence biological tissues. In the study of electromagnetic fields for bone remodeling diseases, attention should be paid to the biological effects of bone remodeling under different electromagnetic wave characteristics. This includes exploring innovative electromagnetic source technologies applicable to bone remodeling, identifying safe and effective electromagnetic field parameters, and combining basic research with technological invention to develop scientifically grounded, advanced key technologies for innovative electromagnetic treatment devices targeting bone remodeling diseases. In conclusion, electromagnetic fields and multiple physical factors have the potential to prevent and treat bone remodeling diseases, and have significant application prospects.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.
