ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, as well as the impact of recompensation on the prognosis of such patients, and to provide a basis for early identification of high-risk patients in clinical practice. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of patients who attended The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from January 2016 to December 2022 and were diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcoholic hepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis, and they were divided into recompensation group and persistent decompensation group. To control for confounding factors, whether recompensation occurred was used as the rouping variable,and BMI, alcohol consumption history, HIV infection history, TG, CHOL, LDL, and HDL were used as covariates. The propensity score was calculated, and 1:1 nearest neighbor matching was performed with a caliper value of 0.1. After propensity score matching, the recompensation group and the persistent decompensation group with relatively balanced covariates were obtained. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for recompensation; the “rms” package was used to establish a nomogram; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to calculate the area under the ROC curve (AUC); the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to assess the goodness of fit of the model; the “Calibration Curves” package was used to plot calibration curves for model assessment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison of survival curves. ResultsAmong the 863 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, 305 experienced recompensation, resulting in an incidence rate of 35.3%. After PSM, 610 cases were successfully matched, with 305 cases in each group. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that etiology (hepatitis C: hazard ratio[HR]=0.288, P=0.002); male(HR=0.701, P=0.016), age(HR=0.988, P=0.047), hemoglobin (HGB)(HR=1.006, P=0.017), and CD4 T cell(HR=1.001,P=0.047), TIPS procedure (HR=1.808,P=0.042) were independent influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. During follow-up, 116 patients died of liver disease-related causes, with 27 patients (8.85%) in the recompensation group and 89 (15.95%) in the persistent decompensation group; 109 patients developed HCC, with 23 patients (7.54%) in the recompensation group and 86 (15.41%) in the persistent decompensation group. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed significant separation between the patients with different states of compensation in terms of liver disease-related mortality rate and the incidence rate of HCC, and the Log-rank test showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in liver disease-related mortality rate (χ2=9.023, P=0.003) and the incidence rate of HCC (χ2=10.526, P=0.001). ConclusionEtiology,sex,age,TIPS,HGB,and CD4 T cell are independent influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. There is a significant difference in the incidence rate of recompensation between decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with different etiologies, and female patients and patients with a younger age,a history of TIPS, a higher HGB level, and a higher CD4 lymphocyte count are more likely to experience recompensation. Recompensation is the key to improving the long-term prognosis of patients and can significantly reduce long-term liver disease-related mortality rate and the incidence rate of HCC.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors of patients with liver cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis (PVT), and to construct a prognostic prediction model based on machine learning methods.Methods:The clinical data of 388 patients with liver cirrhosis and PVT admitted to the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2022 to April 2024 were retrospectively collected and analyzed, including 243 males and 145 females, aged (56.9±10.9) years. A total of 388 patients were randomly divided into the training set ( n=310) and the testing set ( n=78) in a 4∶1 ratio. The Boruta algorithm was used to screen the key features in the training set, and then four machine learning algorithms, including random forest, support vector machine, generalized linear model and Bayesian, were used to establish a survival prediction model. Model performance was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the test set and the training set. The patients were followed up for 1 year for survival. Sort the importance of features based on the SHAP value. Results:There were 250 patients (80.6%) who survived and 60 (19.4%) who died. The model for end-stage liver disease score, total bilirubin, serum creatinine, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, D-dimer, white blood cell count, severe ascites ratio, and Child-Pugh grade C ratio of liver function in the death group were higher than those in the survival group, and the red blood cell count and hematocrit were lower than those in the survival group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The areas under the ROC curve for predicting survival by random forest, support vector machine, generalized linear model and Bayesian model were 0.92, 0.78, 0.81 and 0.71 in the training set, and the area under the ROC curve in the testing set were 0.81, 0.72, 0.67 and 0.68, respectively. Random forest had the best prediction performance, with an accuracy of 81.7%, a sensitivity of 84.6%, and a specificity of 76.9% in the testing set. In the analysis of the importance of characteristic parameters of the random forest model, total bilirubin, red blood cells, hematocrit, serum creatinine, ascites classification, etc. had a relatively high contribution to the model. Conclusion:In the survival prediction model of patients with liver cirrhosis and PVT based on machine learning algorithm, the random forest model had high prediction performance, and total bilirubin may be the most important factor affecting the survival prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of lingual mucosal augmentation urethroplasty with non-transecting urethral cavernous anastomosis in the treatment of traumatic urethral stricture.Methods:The clinical data of 39 patients with traumatic urethral stricture admitted to our clinical center from March 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Their mean age was (49.7±2.0)years. The cause of urethral injury was pelvic fracture in 32 cases, riding injury in 5 cases, and iatrogenic injury in 2 cases. Suprapubic vesicostomy tube was indwelled before operation in 39 cases. There was 1 case with hypospadias and 1 case with urethral false passage. 9 patients had urethral dilatation before surgery, 5 had internal urethrotomy operation, 5 had urethroplasty, and 22 had no history of urethral surgery. The International Erectile Function Index (IIEF-5)score of 39 cases last 1 month before surgery was collected and classified.In which, the IIEF-5 score of 19 cases with no or mild erectile dysfunction was median 20 (18, 23)points, the MSHQ-Ejd score was median 16 (11, 19)points, and the number of effective erections was median 4(3, 5)times on the NPT. And in which, the IIEF-5 score of 20 cases with moderate to severe erectile dysfunction was median 10 (3, 14)points, the MSHQ-Ejd score was median 3(1, 7)points, and the number of effective erections was median 1(0, 2)times on the NPT. All 39 cases underwent non-transecting anastomotic lingual mucosal augmentation urethroplasty. The central tendon of the perineum and the ventral side of the bulbar urethra were preserved through perineal approach. The dorsal side of the urethra was mobilized and through the dorsal side of the urethra, the scar of the urethra was enucleated along the mucosa of the urethra. Then the ventral mucosa of the urethra was anastomosed end to end and the dorsal urethra was repaired by lingual mucosa transplantation. The Clavien-Dindo complication grading system was performed. The catheter was removed 4 weeks after operation, and urine flow rate was recorded 1 month after extubation. IIEF-5 score, MSHQ-Ejd score and NPT were recorded 6 months after operation.Results:The mean operation time of 39 cases was (118.0±18.3)min. 39 cases were followed up for median 8.0(6.0, 10.0)months. The Q max ≥15 ml/s in 24 cases. The Q max <15ml/s in 13 cases, of which, the Q max ≥15 ml/s after 1 internal urethrotomy operation in 10 cases and Q max≥15 ml/s after 2 internal urethrotomy operations in 3 cases. 2 cases were still failed to urinate and Q max≥15 ml/s after end-to-end urethral anastomosis. All 39 cases’ Clavien-Dindo complications were graded Ⅰ.Of the 19 cases with no or mild erectile dysfunction, the IIEF-5 score was median 20(17, 23)points, the MSHQ-Ejd score was median 16(11, 19)points, and the number of effective erections was median 4(3, 4)times on the NPT postoperatively, all were not significantly different from those before operation ( P> 0.05). Of the 20 cases with moderate and severe erectile dysfunction, the IIEF-5 score was median 9(4, 13)points, the MSHQ-Ejd score was median 4(2, 7)points, and the number of effective erections was median 1(0, 2)times on the NPT postoperatively, and all were not significantly different from those before operation ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Non-transecting anastomotic lingual mucosal augmentation urethroplasty is a reliable surgical method with few complications for traumatic urethral stricture. Moreover, the operation has little effect on the sexual function of patients.

Objective:To explore a new surgical approach [anteromedial approach of the hip (AMA)] for Pipkin Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fractures through an imaging and anatomical study.Methods:The hip imaging data were collected of the 38 patients who had undergone lower limb CT angiography for open tibiofibular fractures at Department of Orthopaedics, The Sixth People’s Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from June 2023 to January 2024. There were 20 males aged (40.9±3.5) years and 18 females aged (41.5±3.3) years. The origins and shapes of the femoral artery and its main branches were observed. The distances between the femoral head and the femoral artery, the medial femoral circumflex artery, and the lateral femoral circumflex artery were measured. Four fresh adult cadavers were collected, including 2 males and 2 females. Their ages of death were 56, 65, 72 and 78 years old, respectively. An incision was made along the axis of the limb at the midpoint of the inguinal ligament at the 4 fresh cadavers. After the femoral head was exposed through the gap between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve, the range of the femoral head exposed was marked.Results:The femoral artery ran along the anteromedial side of the femoral head. The shortest distance between the medial femoral circumflex artery and the femoral head was (13.1±5.7) mm, and the shortest distance between the origin of the lateral femoral circumflex artery and the femoral head (21.6±8.6) mm. On the lateral view of CT angiography, the distance between the femoral artery and the femoral head was (20.6±4.9) mm at the level of the apex of greater trochanter. Gross observation on the cadavers found only small branches of vessels between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve. After the femoral artery and femoral nerve were respectively pulled medially and laterally, the anterior-inferior part of the femoral head was exposed directly by pulling the muscles to open the joint capsule. The exposure range of the femoral head was further expanded through internal and external rotation of the hip joint under traction. The anatomical gap between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve was named the AMA.Conclusion:AMA utilizes the potential gap between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve, providing a new surgical approach for exposure and fixation of Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fractures.

P-glycoprotein(P-gp)is an ATP-dependent efflux transporter that is distributed in many tissues and organs.P-gp can selectively pump endogenous substrates and exogenous chemicals from the cell to the outside of the cell to maintain a stable endo-environment.However,it meanwhile restricts the entry of therapeutic drug into tissues and organs,and in particular,mediates the multidrug resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.Therefore,understanding the localization of P-gp in different tissues and organs may be an important breakthrough point for disease treatment.In this paper,we mainly review the molecular structure,transport mechanism,localization,and regulation of P-gp in different tissues and organs,providing reference for the subsequent treatment of diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between albumin (Alb) and recompensation by comparing recompensation rate between hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with different Alb levels, and to provide guidance for the identification and management of high-risk patients in clinical practice. MethodsRelated clinical data were collected from 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis who attended The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022, and they were divided into three groups based on the level of Alb. The linear regression analysis and chi-square test were used for trend tests. The Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted for the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation in the three groups, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. A Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the association between Alb and recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis. ResultsAmong the 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis, 270 achieved recompensation, with a recompensation rate of 36.8%. All patients had a median Alb level of 29.90 (25.90 — 34.80) g/L on admission, and according to the level of Alb, they were divided into <25.9 g/L group with 177 patients, 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group with 377 patients, and >34.8 g/L group with 180 patients; 36 patients (20.3%) in the <25.9 g/L group, 138 (36.6%) in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group, and 96 (53.3%) in the >34.8 g/L group achieved recompensation, and the recompensation rate increased with the increase in Alb level (χ2=41.730, P<0.001). After adjustment for all confounding factors, compared with the <25.9 g/L group, there was a significant increase in the incidence rate of recompensation in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group (hazard ratio [HR]=1.842, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.274 — 2.663) and the >34.8 g/L group (HR=2.336, 95% CI: 1.575 — 3.463). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation between the three groups (χ2=41.632, P<0.001). ConclusionAlb level is an influencing factor for recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis, and the recompensation rate increases with the increase in Alb level.
