Objective:To evaluate the early and mid-term efficacy of physician-modified fenestrated endovascular repair combined with inner branch techniques for aortic pathologies complicated by aberrant subclavian artery (ASA).Methods:A retrospective case series was conducted, including 24 patients with ASA-associated aortic pathologies who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with physician-modified fenestration and inner branch reconstruction at 7 centers in China from February 2021 to March 2025. The cohort comprised 18 males and 6 females, with an age of (54.4±11.7) years (range:37 to 80 years). Pathological diagnoses included aortic aneurysm in 7 patients (29.2%), aortic dissection in 11 (45.8%; 6 chronic, 4 subacute, 1 acute), and penetrating aortic ulcer in 6 (25.0%; 3 with concomitant intramural hematoma). Preoperative planning was performed using three-dimensional CT angiographic reconstruction, incorporating both the greater-curvature hemodynamic length and the centerline wall-adherent length. Fenestration sites were verified on three-dimensional printed models, and precise fenestrations were created at the covered stent-graft locations corresponding to the subclavian artery and ASA anatomy. Patients subsequently underwent TEVAR combined with supra-aortic revascularization as indicated, followed by completion ascending aortography to evaluate the sealing of the main stent-graft and the patency of fenestrated or branched stents. Perioperative outcomes, complications, and early-to mid-term clinical efficacy were analyzed.Results:All procedures were technically successful. Immediate angiography identified one case of minor type Ⅳ endoleak that resolved spontaneously on 3-month follow-up CT angiography, and one case of mild type Ⅱ endoleak that was left untreated with a stable false lumen during follow-up. One patient died on postoperative day 7 of an undetermined cause. The mean follow-up period was (23.1±11.3)months (range:3 to 37 months). During follow-up, one patient developed mild bilateral lower-limb weakness 1 month after surgery. Vascular occlusion and spinal cord infarction were excluded, and the symptoms were considered related to postoperative spinal hemodynamic changes; the weakness resolved after blood pressure adjustment without recurrence. No other complications, including upper limb ischemia, spinal cord ischemia, or posterior circulation ischemia, were observed. Throughout follow-up, all branch and main stents remained patent with good structural integrity, without migration or device-related complications.Conclusions:Physician-modified fenestration combined with inner branch techniques for ASA-associated aortic pathologies is technically feasible and yields satisfactory early and mid-term results. Long-term outcomes require further follow-up.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in older adult patients with pneumonia who face nutritional risks, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty, as well as the extent to which these syndromes affect their nutritional status.Methods:This study used a cross-sectional research design. A total of 1 263 older adult patients with pneumonia who received treatment at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, from July 2021 to July 2024 were included in this study. These patients underwent TCM syndrome differentiation and nutritional assessments. The top 10 distribution patterns of TCM syndromes related to nutritional risk, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty were identified. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the effect of each syndrome pattern on nutritional risk, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty. The odds ratio ( OR) value was used as the effect indicator of effect, with an OR > 1 indicating that the syndrome pattern is a risk factor for nutritional status; the larger the value, the higher the risk. Results:In older adults with pneumonia, the TCM syndrome patterns most commonly associated with nutritional risk, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty were concentrated in phlegm-damp accumulation, phlegm-heat obstructing the lung, qi and blood deficiency, qi deficiency with blood stasis, qi and yin depletion, yang deficiency with water retention, spleen-stomach deficiency, lung qi depletion, and kidney deficiency with failure to grasp qi. Qi deficiency with blood stasis ( OR = 3.70) and qi and blood deficiency ( OR = 4.90) were risk factors for malnutrition. Phlegm-damp accumulation ( OR = 3.46), qi deficiency with blood stasis ( OR = 3.87), and qi and blood deficiency ( OR = 4.52) were risk factors for sarcopenia. Phlegm-damp accumulation ( OR = 2.63), phlegm-heat obstructing the lung ( OR = 3.14), qi deficiency with blood stasis ( OR = 5.78), and qi and blood deficiency ( OR = 6.33) were risk factors for frailty. Conclusions:Phlegm-dampness accumulation, phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs, deficiency of both qi and blood, and qi deficiency with blood stasis are all risk factors for nutritional risks, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in older adults. Patients with pneumonia exhibiting these patterns should pay special attention to their nutritional status, and early nutritional intervention should be implemented to prevent adverse clinical outcomes.

Objective:To explore the relationships among workplace bullying,resilience and work perform-ance in nurses,employing a moderation and matching analysis perspective.Methods:A total of 3 026 nurses from 4 tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province were recruited.The Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10item,and Work Performance Scale were used to evaluate workplace bullying,psychological re-silience and work performance.Moderation analysis and response surface analysis were used to investigate the rela-tionships among workplace bullying,psychological resilience and work performance in nurses.Results:The results of the moderation effect analysis indicated that psychological resilience could moderate the negative relationship be-tween workplace bullying and work performance(β=0.07,95％CI:0.03-0.10).Response surface analysis re-vealed that compared to nurses with low bullying-low resilience,nurses with high bullying-high resilience showed higher work performance(Z-hat difference=2.06;95％CI=0.48-3.58).Nurses with high bullying-low resili-ence exhibited lower work performance compared to those with low bullying-high resilience(Z-hat difference=-8.31;95％CI=-12.06--5.68).Conclusion:Psychological resilience plays a moderating role in the negative effects of workplace bullying on job performance of nurses,and there are relative differences in work performance between individuals with different levels of workplace bullying and psychological resilience.

One case of periprosthetic infection after artificial joint replacement caused by Coxiella burnetii was reported. The patient was admitted to hospital due to joint pain and sinus formation after artificial knee replacement. Through medical history, physical examination, imaging examination and gene detection, it was confirmed that the infection around the prosthesis was caused by Coxiella burnetii. The patient was treated with two-stage revision surgery combined with sensitive antibiotics. Through literature review, a total of 9 cases of Coxiella burnetii infection after artificial joint replacement were reported, including 6 cases of hip joint and 3 cases of knee joint; 4 cases had clear pathogen exposure history; only one case was found protheses loosening on imaging; 7 cases with positive IgG antibody against Coxiella burnetii; 7 cases were positive for gene detection; 8 cases were negative in etiological examination, and 1 case was not cultured. All patients were treated with doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine. The serological index of 1 case without Q fever symptom turned negative after treatment. 1 case with multiple system organ dysfunction relieved symptoms after treatment, and serological antibody indicators and nuclear medicine results turned negative. All 7 patients were cured after secondary revision surgery. Coxiella burnetii infection after total joint arthroplasty is rare and lacks typical imaging manifestations and clinical features. The diagnosis of Coxiella burnetii infection after total joint arthroplasty mainly depends on gene detection and serological detection. Two-stage revision surgery combined with sufficient and long-term sensitive antibiotics is the main method of treatment.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Huoxue Bitong Plaster on lumbar osteoarthritis with blood stasis and cold-dampness blocking collaterals syndrome. Methods Totally 120 patients were randomly divided into treatment group (60 cases) and control group (60 cases). Huoxue Bitong Plaster was applied externally in the treatment group, while Goupigao Plaster was used externally in the control group, once a day, for two weeks. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by observing TCM symptom scores, VAS, Oswestry dability index (ODI), and onset time in both groups before and after treatment. Results The total effective rate was 86.67%(52/60) in treatment group, and 85.00% (51/60) in the control group, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). TCM symptom scores of both groups decreased after treatment (P<0.05). For the effect of relieving back pain and morning stiffness, the treatment group was superior to control group (P<0.05). For the effect of relieving waist heaviness, the control group was better than the treatment group (P<0.05). Besides, VAS and ODI of the treatment group were lower than the control group after treatment (P<0.05). The onset time of lightening back pain, morning stiffness in the treatment group was quicker than control group (P<0.05). For waist heaviness, the onset time in control group was quicker than treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion Huoxue Bitong Plaster has good efficacy for lumbar osteoarthritis with blood stasis and cold-dampness blocking collaterals syndrome.

Objective:To establish an HPLC method to determine vanillin in 18 dairy products. Methods:The samples were sep-arated on a C18 column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase of methanol and water (35∶65) at the flow rate of 1. 0 ml ·min-1 . The detection wavelength was 275 nm. Results:The LOD ( limit of detection) of vanillin was 0. 45 μg·ml-1 . Excellent linearity was obtained within the concentration range of 1.990-99.500 μg·ml-1(r=1.000 0). The average recovery of vanillin in different dairy products with low, medium and high levels varied between 96. 26% and 100. 81% with RSD of 0. 15%-2. 22%. Con-clusion:The method is simple and reproducible, which can be applied in the rapid analysis of vanillin in dairy products.

Objective To assess the effect of polygonum peffoliatum L on the expression of Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) in hepatic fibrosis rats induced by Dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) . Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into six groups, after the model of HF rat induced by DMN and intervened by different concentrations of Polygonum perfoliatum L. Conventional flaking of liver and HE were used to observed histopathological change. Immunohistochemstry was used to detect HIF-1αand VEGF in hepatic tissues of hepatic fibrosis rats. Results The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in hepatic fibrosis rats of the high dose of Polygonum perfoliatum L from (-) to (3 +) were one , nine, one, zero and one, eight, two, zero, respectively. The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in hepatic fibrosis rats of the middle dose of Polygonum perfoliatum L from (-) to (3 +)were one , seven, two, zero and one, six, three, zero, respectively. Compared with the model group, the high and middle dose of Polygonum perfoliatum L can reduce the expression of HIF-1 oand VEGF in hepatic fibrosis rats (P ＜ 0. 01). Conclusions Polygonum peffoliatum L has a good curative effect of anti hepatic fibrosis. Its therapeutic mechanism mainly maybe due to adjust the metabolism of extracellular matrix by decreasing HIF-1 αand VEGF expression.
