Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy and learning curve of robotic-assisted Warshaw procedure using the da Vinci system.Methods:Clinical data of 91 consecutive patients with pancreatic body and tail lesions undergoing robotic-assisted Warshaw procedure at Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital from October 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 21 males and 70 females, aged (50.2±14.3) years. Patient characteristics, operative time, and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. The learning curve was constructed using cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis, with case number on the x-axis and CUSUM values on the y-axis. Linear fitting was performed, and the model with the highest determination coefficient was selected as the optimal fitting model. The learning process was divided into two phases based on the inflection point of the CUSUM learning curve: the learning phase and the proficiency phase. Perioperative outcomes were compared between these two phases.Results:All 91 procedures were successfully completed using the da Vinci robotic system with R0 resection margins. There were no perioperative mortalities or reoperations due to postoperative splenic infarction. The operative time was (227.84±76.68) min. The optimal fitting equation for the CUSUM learning curve was: CUSUM=0.005 640X 3-1.501X 2+ 92.59X-183.1. The CUSUM learning curve showed an inflection point at case 39, dividing the learning process into the learning phase (cases 1-39) and proficiency phase (cases 40-91). Compared to the learning phase, the proficiency phase demonstrated significantly shorter operative time [(203.0±75.6) min vs. (260.9±65.5) min], less intraoperative blood loss [50.0 (20.0, 50.0) ml vs. 100.0 (50.0, 100.0) ml], and reduced postoperative drainage duration [(8.7±2.4) d vs. (10.8±3.2) d] (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The robotic-assisted Warshaw procedure feasible for patients with pancreatic body and tail lesions. Surgeons require approximately 39 cases to complete the learning curve and achieve proficiency in this procedure.

Objective To make a comparative analysis on mechancial properties of the modified cortical bone trajectory(MCBT)nailing technique using a novel variable-diameter screw and the traditional pedicle nailing technique using the cement-augmented pedicle screw(CAPS)in the L4 vertebral body.Merthods CAPS and MCBT instrumentation in the L4 vertebral body model were established by obtaining CT scan data from osteoporotic patients.The finite element method was used to compare the stability,screw axial pull-out force and lumbar spine motion under four working conditions(upper,lower,left and right loads)by using different nailing techniques.Results The axial pull-out force of the screws in MCBT group was 25.3％higher than that of the CAPS group(P＜0.05);the load-displacement ratios of the screws in MCBT group were 14.9％(P＞0.05),23.2％(P＞0.05),and 19.1％(P＜0.05)higher than those of CAPS group under the lower,left,and right working conditions,respectively;the load-displacement ratios of the screws in MCBT group were slightly lower than those of CAPS group under the upper working condition,but the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05);under the anterior and posterior flexion conditions,the lumbar spine motion of MCBT group was reduced by 13.3％and 2.5％,respectively,compared with CAPS group;under the left lateral bending,right lateral bending,and axial rotational conditions,the lumbar spine motion of MCBT group was improved by 69.1％,74.6％,and 118.1％,respectively,compared with CAPS group,but these differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusions MCBT screw was slightly better than CAPS in axial resistance to extraction force,and stability of vertebral anterior flexion under lower,left and right working conditions,and slightly weaker than CAPS in stability under upper,left lateral bending,right lateral bending,and axial rotational conditions.This study demonstrates that MCBT screw has certain advantages over CAPS,providing a pre-basic foundation for the clinical application of MCBT nailing technique for treating osteoporosis.

Objective:To investigate the application value of intrathoracic Kamikawa anas-tomosis after laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.Methods:The retros-pective and descriptive method was conducted. The clinical data of 3 patients with adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction who were admitted to Changzhi People ′s Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from April to June 2022 were collected. All patients were male, aged 69 years, 60 years and 66 years, respectively. Patients underwent total laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy and lower esophageal resection with intrathoracic Kamikawa anastomosis through the abdominal-left diaph-ragmatic approach.Results:(1) Operative and postoperative situations. All the 3 patients success-fully underwent total laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection with intra-thoracic Kamikawa anastomosis through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach. The operation time was 5.3 hours, 5.3 hours and 4.8 hours, respectively. The digestive tract reconstruction time was 68 minutes, 62 minutes and 55 minutes, respectively. The volume of intraoperative blood loss was 80 mL, 30 mL and 100 mL, respectively. The postoperative first flatus time of 3 patients was on the third day after operation, and the first defecation time was on the postoperative fourth, sixth and third day. All the 3 patients underwent upper gastrointestinal imaging on the postoperative third and seventh day, and no anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis or contrast agent reflux occurred. The indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube was 6 days, 7 days and 6 days, respectively. The indwel-ling time of thoracic drainage tube was 3 days, 5 days and 4 days, respectively.

OBJECTIVE: To review research advances of revision surgery after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with Crowe type Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS: The recent literature on revision surgery after primary THA in patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH was reviewed. The reasons for revision surgery were analyzed and the difficulties of revision surgery, the management methods, and the related prosthesis choices were summarized. RESULTS: Patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH have small anteroposterior diameter of the acetabulum, large variation in acetabular and femoral anteversion angles, severe soft tissue contractures, which make both THA and revision surgery more difficult. There are many reasons for patients undergoing revision surgery after primary THA, mainly due to aseptic loosening of the prosthesis. Therefore, it is necessary to restore anatomical structures in primary THA, as much as possible and reduce the generation of wear particles to avoid postoperative loosening of the prosthesis. Due to the anatomical characteristics of Crowe type Ⅳ DDH, the patients have acetabular and femoral bone defects, and the repair and reconstruction of bone defects become the key to revision surgery. The acetabular side is usually reconstructed with the appropriate acetabular cup or combined metal block, Cage, or custom component depending on the extent of the bone defect, while the femoral side is preferred to the S-ROM prosthesis. In addition, the prosthetic interface should be ceramic-ceramic or ceramic-highly cross-linked polyethylene wherever possible. CONCLUSION The reasons leading to revision surgery after primary THA in patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH and the surgical difficulties have been clarified, and a large number of clinical studies have proposed corresponding revision modalities based on which good early- and mid-term outcomes have been obtained, but further follow-up is needed to clarify the long-term outcomes. With technological advances and the development of new materials, personalized prostheses for these patients are expected to become a reality.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors and regularity of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopatho-logical data of 185 Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients in two medical centers (113 cases in Changzhi People's Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College and 72 cases in Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College) from January 2017 to January 2022 were collected. There were 143 males and 42 females, aged (64±8)years. Patients underwent radical resection of AEG combined with inferior mediastinal lymph node dissection. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological charac-teristics of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients; (2) analysis of influencing factors for inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG; (3) regularity of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparsion between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the Logistic regression model. Results:(1) Clinicopathological characteristics of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients. Pathologic staging as stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ, degree of tumor invasion as stage T1, T2, T3 and T4, length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were found in 30, 61, 75, 7, 3, 41, 79, 50, 101, 46, 18, 8 cases of the Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients without inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis, respectively, versus 0, 2, 10, 0, 0, 0, 5, 7, 4, 3, 2, 3 cases of the Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients with inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis, showing a significant differences between them ( Z=?2.21, ?2.49, ?2.22, P<0.05). (2) Analysis of influencing factors for inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. Results of univariate analysis showed that pathological staging, depth of tumor invasion and length of esophageal invasion were related factors affecting inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG ( odds ratio=2.48, 3.26, 2.03, 95% confidence intervals as 1.02?6.01, 1.21?8.80, 1.18?3.51, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that depth of tumor invasion and length of esophageal invasion were independent influening factors affecting inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG ( odds ratio=4.01, 2.26, 95% confidence interval as 1.35?11.96, 1.26?4.06, P<0.05). The inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis probability of AEG patients with the length of esophageal invasion >3 cm and ≤4 cm was 9.47 times that of AEG patients with the length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm. (3) Regularity of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. The number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes including No.110, No.111 and No.112 dissected in 185 patients of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG were 127, 50 and 27. The number of lymph nodes dissected and the number of metastatic lymph nodes in No.110 and No.111 of patients with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were 69, 4, 42, 4, 4, 1, 12, 4 and 23, 0, 17, 0, 7, 2, 3, 0, respectively. There were significant differences in metastatic lymph nodes in No.110 and No.111 of patients with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm ( χ2=8.45, 7.30, P<0.05). Of the 185 patients of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG, the ratio of cases with inferior mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis was 6.49%(12/185). The ratio of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis in cases with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were 3.81%(4/105), 6.12%(3/49), 10.00%(2/20), 27.27%(3/11), respectively. The ratio of No.110 lymph nodes metastasis in cases with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were 2.86%(3/105), 6.12%(3/49), 5.00%(1/20), 27.27%(3/11), respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( χ2=8.26, P<0.05). Conclusions:Depth of tumor invasion and length of esophageal invasion are independent influening factors affecting inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. The rate of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis increases with the increase of the length of esophageal invasion.

Objective:To explore the effect of a Chinese medicinal composition ( Xiadanqi) on the prevention of radon exposure induced injuries of lung in vitro and in vivo. Methods:Mice were randomly divided into three groups of blank control group, radon-exposed group alone and radon-exposed group intervened with Chinese medicinal composition. The pathological changes of lung tissues in each group after 120 WLM were observed by HE and Masson staining, and the expressions of α-SMA protein and Vimentin protein in lung tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. The levels of oxidative stress in lung tissue of each group were detected with SOD and MDA kits. At the same time, a radon exposed cell model and a radon exposure + Xiadanqi intervention cell model were constructed using an ecological radon chamber. The cell adhesion abilities of different groups were detected by an adhesion kit. The cell migration ability of each group was determined by the transwell migration experiment. The expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin protein was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with the radon exposure group, the concentration of MDA was decreased ( t=4.43, P<0.05), the activity of SOD was increased ( t=3.22, P<0.05), and α-SMA and Vimentin protein expressions were decreased ( t=3.08, 7.57, P<0.05) in lung tissue of mice intervened with 2 mg/g Xiadanqi. In vitro, compared with radon exposure group, the migration ability was reduced ( t=4.78, 13.01, P<0.05), the cell adhesion property was enhanced ( t=3.41, 12.55, P<0.05), the expression of E-cadherin protein was increased ( t=2.96, 19.57, P<0.05), and the expression of Vimentin protein was obviously reduced ( t=21.00, 33.32, P<0.05) in radon-exposed cells with the treatment of Chinese medicine (150 μg/ml and 200 μg/ml). Conclusions:The Chinese medicinal composition ( Xiadanqi) has a certain radioprotective effect on radon exposure induced injury by reducing oxidative stress, attenuating EMT and fibrosis, and thus it may be applied as a protective agent for radon induced injury.
