Objective To analyze the main causes and risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 242 liver transplant recipients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether unplanned reoperation was performed during the same hospitalization after surgery, the recipients were divided into the reoperation group (n=36) and the non-reoperation group (n=206). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the two groups, as well as donor and graft-related data, were compared to analyze the risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation and the survival status of the two groups. Results Among the 242 liver transplant recipients, 36 underwent unplanned reoperations, with a total of 54 procedures including various laparotomies, endoscopic and interventional surgeries, among which there were 20 laparotomies, 18 endoscopic surgeries and 16 interventional surgeries. The most common cause of unplanned reoperation was biliary complications (20 times), followed by vascular complications (17 times). Compared with the non-reoperation group, the reoperation group had longer graft cold ischemia time, higher postoperative fatality rate of recipients, longer length of stay in the intensive care unit and postoperative hospital stay, and higher total hospitalization costs (all P<0.05). The incidence of unplanned reoperation was higher in recipients who underwent split liver transplantation (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 mL, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation were independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation (all P<0.05). The postoperative 7-day, 1-month, 3-month and 6-month survival rates of recipients in the reoperation group and the non-reoperation group were 100% vs. 98.1%, 88.9% vs. 94.2%, 69.4% vs. 90.8% and 66.7% vs. 90.8%, respectively, and the postoperative survival rate of recipients in the reoperation group was lower than that in the non-reoperation group (P<0.05). Conclusions The main causes of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation are biliary complications, vascular complications, abdominal incision infection and intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Intraoperative massive blood loss, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation are the risk factors associated with unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the clinical and radiological features of osteofibrous dysplasia(OFD),and to improve the diagnostic accuracy of OFD and reduce the misdiagnosis rate.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and radiological data of 21 patients with OFD confirmed by surgical pathology.Results Among the 21 patients,the imaging manifestations showed that the lesions were mainly located within the anterior cortex of the tibia,presenting as cystic expansile bone destruction with corti-cal expansion and thinning,protruding into the medullary cavity.Within the lesions,unequal thickness linear bony septations were visible,resembling soap-bubble changes,along with patchy ground-glass density shadow.A sclerotic rim was observed surrounding the lesions,with a clear boundary from normal tissue.No obvious soft tissue mass or periosteal reaction was noted in all cases.On MRI,the majority of the lesions exhibited prolonged T,and T2 signals,with linear hypointense separations observed within the lesions.No significant edema was noted in the surrounding bone and soft tissues,although a minor degree of bone marrow edema was present.All patients underwent surgical treatment.Fifteen patients were followed up for review,ranging from 3 to 38 months postoperatively.Among them,9 patients had no recurrence,while 6 patients experienced recurrence,manifesting as new lytic bone destruction in the surgical area.Conclusion The radiological manifestations of OFD are characteristic,and an accurate diagnosis can be made for typical cases in combination with the patient's age,location of the lesion and clinical presentation.Due to the high recurrence rate after OFD sur-gery,regular follow-up is recommended.

Objective To explore the impact of the number of negative lymph node resections on the overall survival and recurrence rate of patients with ovarian cancer.Methods A retrospective selection was made of 150 ovarian cancer patients admitted to our hospital from October 2021 to October 2023 as the research subjects.According to the standard of the number of negative lymph nodes removed,they were divided into three groups:T1 group(≤17),T2 group(18～27),and T3 group(≥28).Clinical characteristics and surgical indicators were collected,and the recurrence and survival situations were analyzed.Results The clinical characteristic analysis results showed that there were no statistically significant differences among the three groups in terms of age,meno-pausal status,BMI,CCI,family history of tumors,etc.(P>0.05).There were no significant differences in surgi-cal methods,residual lesion size,postoperative complications among the three groups(P>0.05).In terms of operation time,T1 group0.05),but with the increase in the number of lymph node resections(from T1 group to T3 group),the recurrence rate showed a statistically significant downward trend(P<0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that the univariate analysis indicated that for each additional negative lymph node,the risk of death decreased by 4.7%(HR=0.953,P<0.05);the multivariate analysis(after adjusting for confounding factors)showed that the risk decreased by 5.8%(HR=0.942,P<0.05).Restricted cubic spline(RCS)analysis confirmed a significant linear association between the two(P<0.05).With 5 lymph nodes as the reference,the risk ratios for 10,20,and 30 resections were 1.003,0.760,and 0.317,respectively,and the trend showed that the risk of death contin-ued to decrease as the number of lymph nodes increased.Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the risk of death in T3 group was 68%lower than that in T1 group(P<0.05),the risk in FIGO stage Ⅲ was 3.11 times higher(P<0.05),and the risk in high-grade tumors was 2.80 times higher(P<0.05).Conclusions The number of nega-tive lymph nodes removed in patients with ovarian cancer is linearly correlated with prognosis.The more lymph nodes removed,the lower the risk of death for the patients.Adequate lymph node removal should be an important part of the surgical treatment for ovarian cancer.

Objective:To explore the occupational adaptability of psychiatric medical caregivers from the perspective of a composite ecosystem.Methods:Using purposive sampling combining with snowball sampling and based on ecosystem theory, an interview outline was set up to conduct semi-structured interviews with psychiatric medical caregivers from October to December 2023. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to extract the themes.Results:Totally 15 psychiatric medical caregivers aged 44-61 years, 4 males and 11 females. There were three themes in the study: microsystems-changes in cognition, emotion, and physical and mental health; mid-level system-support and difficulties for families, hospitals, and nursing staff institutions; the macro system-social psychological support system was lacking.Conclusions:Psychiatric medical caregivers lack professional knowledge, have more negative emotions in their emotional experiences, and have a serious lack of mental health support systems. There are biases and misunderstandings towards them in society. It is recommended that managers pay attention to the physical and mental health of psychiatric caregivers and improve their work adaptability.

Objective:To explore the application value of the new inflammatory index in predicting the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with esophageal and gastric varices.Methods:This study was a single-center cross-sectional study. Patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Gastroenterology of Minhang Hospital, Fudan University due to liver cirrhosis combined with esophageal and gastric varices from January 2019 to February 2024 were included. All patients were diagnosed clearly based on clinical data, laboratory tests and imaging examination results. According to the results of the first fasting blood routine test after the patient′s admission, the monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) were calculated. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with esophagogastric varices. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cutoff value of MLR on survival. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the survival differences between patients with MLR>0.33 and those with MLR≤0.33.Results:A total of 177 patients were included, among which 155 were in the survival group and 22 were in the death group. The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that MLR was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with esophageal and gastric varices [ HR=5.16(95% CI: 1.39-19.15), P=0.014]. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis results showed that the survival rate of patients in the MLR>0.33 group was significantly lower than that in the MLR≤0.33 group (80.90% vs 94.32%, P=0.012). Stratified analysis showed that in patients who did not receive endoscopic intervention, MLR was closely related to prognosis. Conclusions:MLR can be used as an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with esophageal and gastric varices, which is helpful for clinicians to conduct risk assessment and thereby formulate personalized treatment strategies.

BACKGROUND:Ankle inversion injuries frequently occur during landing,injuring the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments.Previous studies usually used indirect indicators,such as inversion angle,as an injury risk indicator,but epidemiological support is lacking.OBJECTIVE:To calculate anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligament strains using a three-dimensional multi-body foot model during a drop-landing and to investigate whether increasing the foot toe-out angle for landing would reduce the risk of inversion sprains.METHODS:Thirty-five participants with high sports demands[15 males and 20 females,age:(21.0±0.9)years,height:(176.2±8.8)cm,body mass:(71.6±12.8)kg]were recruited to perform a drop-landing test using a trapdoor device to simulate ankle inversion sprains.Two landing conditions were tested,i.e.,natural landing and toe-out landing.Kinematic data were collected using a 12-camera motion analysis system,the strains of the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments were calculated using a three-dimensional rigid-body foot model.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:From natural landing to toe-out landing conditions,the anterior talofibular ligament strain decreased[natural landing=(3.57±1.92)％,toe-out landing=(0.36±1.18)％,P＜0.001,Cohen's d=2.01),as was the calcaneofibular ligament strain[natural landing=(1.38±1.80)％,toe-out landing=(0.28±2.29)％,P=0.003,Cohen's d=0.81).It could be concluded that increasing foot toe-out angle reduces anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligament strains during drop-landing with ankle inversion,thereby reducing the potential of ankle inversion sprains.

Objective To investigate the status of hearing impaired children's hearing device independence skills,and to explore the ways to improve their self-use of hearing equipment.Methods This study surveyed 64 re-habilitation teachers and 411 parents of children with hearing impairment aged 0-12 years.Through face-to-face or remote telephone interview,3 good habits(A asking parents for advice before removing the HA,B putting the de-vice into a moisture-proof box after removing it,C bringing batteries to school and knowing where are them)and 3 key abilities[D wearing the device independently,E replacing the battery independently,and F independently handle foreign bodies in the ear mold(Fa)and water vapor(Fb)]was investigated.The age when mastering skills or de-veloping habits difference of hearing impaired children in different groups were compared.Results ① The ratio of ability D in the bilateral CI group and the bilateral HA group of preschool children was 30.97％and 18.57％respec-tively.Among elementary school children,85.29％and 90.70％had this ability respectively.② The ratio of ability E in the bilateral CI group,the bilateral HA group and the bimodel group were 11.50％,15.71％and 16.49％,re-spectively.Among elementary school children,64.71％,53.49％and 68.52％had this ability,respectively.③Among preschool children,there was no statistical difference in age when different equipment groups developed the three good habits and acquired ability D and E(P＞0.05).④ Among primary school children,there was a statisti-cal difference in the age when different equipment groups formed habit A(P＜0.05),and the age when double CI group had this ability was slightly earlier than the double HA group.There was no significant difference in other abilities among age groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The age at which hearing impaired children develop the three good habits precedes the age at which they master the key skills,which accords with the law of skill acquisition and development of ordinary children.Corresponding teaching process should be based on the age and ability of hearing-impaired children without considering the type of equipment.
