Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy and learning curve for robot-assisted cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation performed by surgeons with different seniority in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:The clinical data of 91 lumbar degenerative disease patients underwent robot-assisted CBT screw fixation from August 2020 to December 2022 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 48 patients underwent surgery performed by the same senior surgeon (senior group), with a total of 234 CBT screws were placed; while 43 patients underwent surgery performed by the same junior surgeon (junior group), with a total of 206 CBT screws were placed. The surgical related indexes, functional improvement score, lower back pain and lower limb radiation pain scores, acceptable nail insertion rate, non invasion rate of facet joints and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between two groups. The functional improvement score was evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, the pain score was evaluated using visual analog score (VAS). The cumulative sum (CUSUM) method was used to depict the learning curve with "single screw placement time" as the observation index.Results:There were no statistical difference in incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay between two groups ( P>0.05). The least squares means of JOA scores 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery in both groups increased significantly compared to baseline, while the least squares means of lower back pain VAS and lower limb radiation pain VAS decreased significantly compared to baseline; there were no statistical differences between two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in acceptable nail insertion rate, non invasion rate of facet joints and incidence of postoperative complications between two group ( P>0.05). The CUSUM learning curves were fitting well and the inflection point for senior surgeon corresponded to 18 cases, while it was reached after performing surgery on 21 cases for junior surgeon. Conclusions:Robot-assisted CBT screw fixation performed by surgeons with different seniority could achieve similar clinical outcomes for treating lumbar degenerative disease. The senior surgeons are able to complete the initial learning stage faster than the junior surgeons, but there is not much difference in the number of surgeries performed the learning curve.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness and safety between robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and traditional fluoroscopy-assisted PKP in the treatment of dual-segment recurrent osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) including in situ vertebral fracture.Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with dual-segment recurrent OVCF including in situ vertebral fracture from January 2016 to January 2023 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with PKP. Among them, 14 patients were treated with robot-assisted surgery (robot-assisted group), and 19 patients were treated with fluoroscopy-assisted surgery (fluoroscopy-assisted group). The total surgical time, preparation time and number of fluoroscopy were recorded. The in situ and other fracture vertebral operation time, number of punctures, amount of bone cement injection, bone cement filling effect, bone cement leakage, pedicle wall breakthrough and other special intraoperative situations were separately recorded. The visual analogue score (VAS) before surgery and 1 d, 3 months after surgery was recorded.Results:The preparation time in robot-assisted group was significantly longer than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (30.8 ± 6.9) min vs. (19.1 ± 4.5) min, the number of fluoroscopy was significantly lower than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (17.1 ± 4.1) times vs. (41.0 ± 6.3) times, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 and <0.05); there were no statistical differences in total surgical time and VAS at any time point between the two groups ( P>0.05). For the in situ fracture segment, the operation time and number of punctures in robot-assisted group were significantly lower than those in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (15.4 ± 2.8) min vs. (22.0 ± 5.5) min and (1.1 ± 0.4) times vs. (2.4 ± 1.2) times, the amount of bone cement injection was significantly higher than those in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (2.36 ± 0.75) ml vs. (1.79 ± 0.69) ml, the filling effect of bone cement was significantly better than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 and <0.05); there were no statistical difference in bone cement leakage and pedicle wall breakthrough between the two groups ( P>0.05). For the other fracture segment, the operation time in robot-assisted group was significantly shorter than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (13.8 ± 3.8) min vs. (19.2 ± 6.4) min, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there were no statistical difference in number of punctures, amount of bone cement injection, filling effect of bone cement, bone cement leakage and pedicle wall breakthrough between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Robot-assisted PKP in the treatment of dual-segment OVCF including in situ vertebral fracture, could reduce operation time, minimize punctures and fluoroscopy numbers, and provide superior bone cement filling results.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of enhance recovery after surgery-multidisciplinary treatment (ERAS-MDT) modality on elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.Methods:This was a single-center, retrospective study: from August 2018 to September 2023, the data of 68 elderly patients (11 males and 57 females, aged from 75 to 91 years) who suffered from knee osteoarthritis came to Departmentof Orthopaedic Surgery, Beijing Geriatrics Hospital and underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty were collected and analyzed. The 36 patients who managed by ERAS-MDT modality were allocated to observational group, while the 32 patients who managed by the traditional treatment modality were allocated to the control group. The visual analogue score (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain extent, while the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used for assessing the functional status. The efficiency was evaluated by the time interval between admission and surgery, time of the first off-bed ambulation training and hospital stays. The incidence rate of perioperative complications was collected. The modified MacNab criterion was used to assess the patient′s opinion of treatment satisfaction at the final follow-up.Results:The mean follow-up period was (8.3 ± 2.6) months. No significant differences were found pertaining to the demographic and baseline characteristics between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients showed significantly improvement in leg pain and functional disability during the postoperative follow-up; the VAS and ODI scores in the observational group were significantly lower than that in the control group at the early postoperative follow-ups. The efficiency of diagnosis and treatment in the observational group were significantly higher than those in the control group, including the time interval between admission and surgery, time of the first off-bed ambulation training and the hospital stay: (2.8 ± 0.6) d vs. (3.7 ± 0.9) d, (0.9 ± 0.2) d vs. (2.1 ± 0.3) d and (14.8 ± 1.2) d vs. (17.7 ± 1.5) d, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The incidence rate of perioperative complications in the observational group was significantly lower than that in the control group: 2.8% (1/36) vs. 18.8% (6/32), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). At the final follow-up, 94.4% (34/36) of patients in the observational group and 75.0% (24/32) of patients in the control group were satisfied with the treatment, the between-group difference was statistical significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Improved labor division and perioperative measurements can be implemented with the application of ERAS-MDT modality. Elderly patients who suffered from knee osteoarthritis would benefit from this improved treatment modality, achieving better treatment efficiency, enhanced recovery after surgery, as well as reduced incidence rate of perioperative complications.

OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement mechanism of proanthocyanidins on acute kidney injury （AKI） induced by gentamicin in rats. METHODS Gentamicin sulfate was injected intraperitoneally to construct the AKI rat model； the model rats were randomly divided into model control group， benazepril hydrochloride 5 mg/kg group （positive control）， proanthocyanidins 50 mg/kg group， proanthocyanidins 100 mg/kg group， and proanthocyanidins 200 mg/kg group， with 10 rats in each group； in addition， 10 normal rats were selected to be treated as the normal control group. The rats in each administration group were given corresponding liquid intragastrically， and the normal control group and model control group were given equal volumes of normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 28 consecutive days. After the last administration， the levels of serum creatinine （SCr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） and 24 h urinary protein （UP） were detected； the renal index was calculated； the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed and the pathological score was calculated； the apoptotic rate of cells in renal tissue and the expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）， as well as the phosphorylation levels of silent information regulator of transcription 1 （SIRT1） and AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK） were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model control group， the levels of SCr， BUN， UP and MDA， the renal index， the pathological score of renal tissue， the apoptotic rate of cells in renal tissue， the protein expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax in renal tissue of rats in each administration group were decreased significantly； SOD and GSH-Px levels， phosphorylation levels of SIRT1 and AMPK protein were increased significantly （P＜0.05）， and the effect of proanthocyanidins was in a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. There were no significant differences in the above indexes between proanthocyanidins 200 mg/kg group and benazepril hydrochloride 5 mg/kg group （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The improvement effect of proanthocyanidins on AKI rats may be related to the activation of SIRT1/AMPK signaling pathway to inhibit oxidative stress.

Objective    To compare and analyze the treatment effect of thoracoscopic surgery and traditional open surgery on infants with congenital diaphragmatic eventration, and summarize the experience of thoracoscopic surgery in infants with congenital diaphragmatic eventration. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 105 children with congenital diaphragmatic eventration who received operation in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2010 to January 2019. The patients were divided into an open group and a thoracoscopic group according to the operation methods. There were 41 patients in the thoracoscopic group, including 30 males and 11 females, with an average of 13.42±11.08 months (range: 1 d to 3 years). There were 64 patients in the open group, including 44 males and 20 females, with an average age of 8.21±9.33 months (range: 15.0 d to 1.6 years). The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, hospital stay and other operation indexes as well as the mortality, recurrence rate and complication rate of the two groups were observed. Results    The operation indexes such as operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, thoracic drainage time, CCU stay and hospital stay of the thoracoscopic group were better than those in the open group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between two groups in postoperative diaphgram muscles descent, postoperative feeding time or patients needing thoracic drainage (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the thoracoscopic group (19.51%) was lower than that in the open group (23.44%, P>0.05), and the difference in mortality and recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion    Both thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication and traditional open surgery can effectively treat congenital diaphragmatic eventration, but compared with traditional open surgery, thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication has the advantages of shorter operation time, less trauma, more rapid recovery and fewer complications, so it should be the first choice for children with congenital diaphragmatic eventration.

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the effect of circ_0001429 on proliferation and apoptosis of bladder cancer cells by regulating miR-139-5p/TGF-interacting factor 1（TGIF1）axis. Methods: The expression of circ_0001429 in bladder cancer cell lines SW780, T24, 5637 and human bladder epithelial SV-HUC-1 cells were detected by RT-qPCR. Targeted regulatory relationship between circ_0001429 and miR-139-5p as well as miR-139-5p and TGIF1 was measured by Dual luciferase reporter gene assay. T24 cells were divided into NC group, sh-circ_0001429 group, miR-139-5p mimics group, sh-TGIF1 group, pcDNA-circ_0001429+sh-TGIF1 group, miR-139-5p mimics+pcDNA-TGIF1 group and sh-circ_0001429+miR-139-5p inhibitor group. Western blotting was used to detect the expression level of TGIF1 in each group. CCK-8 method, Transwell experiment and Flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of circ_ 0001429, miR-139-5p and TGIF1 on proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis of T24 cells, respectively. Results: Circ_0001429 was highly expressed in three bladder cancer cell lines (P<0.01). Knockdown of circ_0001429 significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion and migration of T24 cells while promoted the level of cell apoptosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of Dual luciferase reporter gene assayconfirmedthatthereisatargetingrelationshipbetweencirc_0001429andmiR-139-5p as well as between miR-139-5p and TGIF1. Overexpression of miR-139-5p significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of T24 cells while promoted the level of cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). Recovery experiments further confirmed that the competitive binding of circ_0001429 and TGIF1 to miR-139-5p promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of T24 cells while inhibited the level of cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Circ_0001429 promotes proliferation, invasion and migration and inhibits apoptosis of bladder cancer T24 cells by competing with TGIF1 to bind to miR-139-5p.
