Objective To investigate the correlations of fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio(Fib/Alb),soluble myeloid cell triggering receptor-like transcript factor-1(sTLT-1)and neutrophil gelatinase-as-sociated lipocalin(NGAL)in peripheral blood at admission with the risk of poor prognosis in patients with acute thoracoabdominal trauma and their early warning values.Methods A prospective study was conducted in 152 patients with acute thoracoabdominal trauma in the hospital from January 2022 to May 2024.The patients were divided into good prognosis group(n=120)and poor prognosis group(n=32)according to their prognosis.Baseline data and the levels of Fib/Alb,sTLT-1 and NGAL in peripheral blood at admission were compared between the two groups.The relationships between the levels of Fib/Alb,sTLT-1,and NGAL in peripheral blood at admission and the severity of trauma[the Circulation,Respiration,Abdomen,Movement,and Speech(CRAMS)score]and the risk of poor prognosis were analyzed.The early warning values of the levels of Fib/Alb,sTLT-1 and NGAL in peripheral blood at admission for the risk of poor prognosis were evaluated.Results The time from injury to admission in the poor prognosis group was longer than that in the good prognosis group,the CRAMS score,the Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score,and the levels of Fib,Alb and Fib/Alb in peripheral blood at admission in the poor prognosis group were lower than those in the good prognosis group,while the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA)score and the levels of sTLT-1 and NGAL in peripheral blood at admission were higher than those in the good prognosis group,with statistically significant between-group differences(P＜0.05).The levels of Fib,Alb and Fib/Alb in peripheral blood at admission showed a decreasing trend,while the levels of sTLT-1 and NGAL showed an increasing trend in patients with mild,severe,and extremely severe trauma,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the level of Fib/Alb in peripheral blood at admission(r=0.839)was positively correlated with the CRAMS score,while the levels of sTLT-1 and NGAL(r=-0.832,-0.808)were negatively cor-related with the CRAMS score(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors,the levels of Fib/Alb(OR=0.769),sTLT-1(OR=1.562)and NGAL(OR=1.575)in peripheral blood at admission were still independently correlated with the risk of poor prognosis(P＜0.05).The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for the combined early warning of the risk of poor prognosis by the levels of Fib/Alb,sTLT-1,and NGAL in peripheral blood at admission was 0.918,which was superior to the early warning value of individual indicators(Z=2.992,2.291,2.082,P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of Fib/Alb,sTLT-1 and NGAL in peripheral blood are closely related to the severity of trauma and prognosis in patients with acute thoracoabdominal trauma.Combined detection has a certain ear-ly warning value for the risk of poor prognosis and can be used as potential factors for clinical assess-ment of trauma condition and early warning of the risk of poor prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the short-and medium-term clinical outcomes of Mako robotic-assisted posterior-lateral approach in complex primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:A retrospective case series analysis was conducted on 29 patients with complex hip conditions who underwent Mako robotic-assisted posterior-lateral approach at Department of Orthopaedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from November 2020 to December 2024. The patient cohort included 14 cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip, 8 cases of ankylosed hip, 3 cases of traumatic hip arthritis, 3 cases of sequelae of purulent hip arthritis, and 1 case of synovial chondromatosis. There were 12 males and 17 females, with an age of (62.3±9.4) years (range:44 to 79 years). Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, vascular and nerve injury, postoperative infection, and other complications were recorded. Preoperative and postoperative lower limb length discrepancy, combined offset difference (ΔCO), acetabular abduction angle, and acetabular anteversion angle were measured. The Harris hip score was recorded at regular follow-ups. Data comparison was conducted using the paired sample t-test. Results:All patients successfully underwent surgery with the Mako robotic system. The surgical time was (107.6±41.5) minutes (range:50 to 235 minutes), and the intraoperative blood loss was (165.5±147.7) ml (range:50 to 800 ml). All patients were followed up for a duration of (27.3±16.7) months (range:3 to 51 months). The planned intraoperative acetabular cup abduction angle was 40.1°±1.6° (range: 36° to 45°), and the measured postoperative acetabular cup abduction angle was 40.2°±3.5° (range: 33° to 54°), with no significant difference ( t=0.231, P=0.819). The planned intraoperative acetabular cup anteversion angle was 19.1°±3.9° (range: 15° to 25°), and the measured postoperative acetabular cup anteversion angle was 18.5°±3.4° (range: 10° to 26°), with no significant difference ( t=1.792, P=0.084). The difference in length of both lower limbs was (-17.6±15.0) mm (range:-50 to 10 mm) before operation and (-1.5±16.0) mm (range:-33 to 53 mm) after operation ( t=6.282, P<0.01)(positive values indicate that the surgical side is longer than the contralateral side). The ΔCO was (4.1±12.0) mm (range:-18 to 30 mm) before operation and (-2.2±13.3) mm (range:-44 to 17 mm) after operation, with statistically significant difference ( t=2.635, P=0.014). One patient experienced vascular injury with embolism postoperatively, while no other complications were observed in the remaining patients. No loosening, dislocation, or fracture of the prosthesis was noted during the follow-up period. The Harris function score was improved from (47.1±8.3) points(range:15 to 62 points) preoperatively to (73.0±5.5) points(range:57 to 83 points) at the three-month postoperative follow-up ( t=22.630, P<0.01). Conclusion:The use of Mako robotic assistance in complex total hip arthroplasty can enhance the accuracy of prosthesis placement, minimize lower limb length discrepancy, and improve hip joint function.

OBJECTIVES: Several countries have successfully eliminated measles, and China is making significant strides toward achieving this goal. This study focused on investigating the patterns of measles infections in Zhejiang Province, China, as well as control measures. The objective was to provide valuable insights that could contribute to the development of nationwide elimination strategies. METHODS: We analyzed measles surveillance data from 2005 to 2022 in Zhejiang Province. We utilized a joinpoint regression model to examine trends in measles. Additionally, we employed SaTScan version 9.5 to identify spatial-temporal clusters. Finally, we used an age-period-cohort model to assess the effects of age, period, and cohort. RESULTS: The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of measles infection in Zhejiang Province from 2005 to 2022 was 5.24 per 100,000, showing a consistent and significant downward trend with an annual percentage change of -24.93% (p<0.05). After 2020, the ASIR for measles infection fell to below 0.1 per 100,000. The majority of measles cases occurred in individuals either without an immunization history or with an unknown immunization status, representing 41.06% and 41.40% of the cases from 2010 to 2022, respectively. According to data from the National Measles Surveillance System, the annual rate of discarded measles cases from 2009 to 2014, and the annual rate of discarded measles and rubella cases from 2015 to 2022, were both above 2 per 100,000, indicating the high sensitivity of the measles surveillance system. CONCLUSIONS The significant reduction in measles incidence from 2005 to 2022 demonstrates substantial progress in Zhejiang Province towards the elimination of measles.

Objective:To explore the effects of fast-track surgery (FTS) combined with acupuncture at Neiguan acupoint on stress indicators and recovery quality in patients during anesthesia of craniocerebral surgery.Methods:According to block randomization method, 120 patients with craniocerebral trauma meeting inclusion criteria in the hospital were divided into three groups between January 2018 and December 2020, 40 in each group. The control group was given routine awakening intervention, intervention 1 group was given routine awakening intervention and acupuncture at Neiguan acupoint, and intervention 2 group was given FTS and treatment of intervention 1 group. At 10 min after entering the room, immediately after tracheal intubation and immediately after extubation, level of serum cortisol (COR) was detected by electrochemical luminescence apparatus. The level of serum dopamine was detected by ELISA. The blood pressure and heart rates were recorded. The recovery quality during anesthesia was compared, including recovery time, recovery time of spontaneous breathing, extubation time and recovery time of orientation. The cognitive function of patients was evaluated by Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination (NSCE). The incidence of intestinal paralysis, nausea and vomiting, and hospitalization time were observed and recorded during treatment.Results:Immediately after tracheal intubation and extubation, systolic blood pressure in intervention 2 group, intervention 1 group and control group were significantly decreased ( F=12.03, 13.96), levels of serum COR ( F=91.40, 53.76), and dopamine ( F=29.72, 69.39) were significantly decreased ( P<0.01). The recovery time of orientation during anesthesia [(39.09±3.12)min vs. (41.57±3.54)min, (43.84±3.28)min, F=34.65] in intervention 2 group was significantly shorter than that of the intervention 1 group and control group ( P<0.01), and hospitalization time [(9.36±1.78)d vs. (10.92±1.81)d, (12.10±1.95)d, F=1.44] was significantly shorter than that of the intervention 1 group and control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The FTS combined with acupuncture at Neiguan acupoint can reduce stress level during anesthesia, improve recovery quality and relieve postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing craniocerebral surgery.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of primary revision after artificial hip replacement and causes of revision surgery. Methods: A total of 344 patients who underwent revision surgery after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and artificial femoral head replacement from January 2010 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 141 males and 203 fe-males, with a mean age 65.64±10.81 years (28-87 years). A total of 351 hip revisions were performed in 344 patients with 7 pa-tients in bilateral revisions. All patients were followed up for 60.38±22.75 months (24-105 months). All patients with periprosthet-ic infection underwent two-stage revision after prosthesis placement, and all others underwent one-stage revision. The clinical out-comes of revision surgery were assessed with the Harris hip score and the survival rate of the revision prosthesis. According to the duration from artificial hip replacement to revision surgery, all patients were divided into early revision (less than 5 years) and late revision (more than 5 years) groups. They were also divided into two groups according to the age of the patient in revision sur-gery: >55-year-old and ≤55-year-old groups. The causes of revision, hip reoperation and re-revision were recorded. Results: In the 351 hip revisions, a total of 238 (67.8%) had aseptic loosening, 41 (11.7%) periprosthetic fractures, 30 (8.5%) periprosthetic infection, 23 (6.6%) recurrent dislocation and 19 (5.4%) the eccentric liner wear. The infection rate was significantly higher in the early revision group (21.1%) than that in the late revision group (4.2%) (χ²=24.443, P<0.001). The aseptic loosening rate was sig-nificantly higher in the late revision group (72.4%) than that in the early revision group (54.4%) (χ²=9.899, P=0.002). Sixteen pa-tients underwent hip surgery after revision, including 6 recurrent dislocations, 4 aseptic loosening, 3 periprosthetic fractures, and 3 periprosthetic infections. Eight of them underwent revision surgery, including 4 cases of aseptic loosening, 2 cases of periprosthet-ic fractures, and 2 cases of recurrent dislocation. The duration from the primary revision to the second revision was 22.1±10.0 months (1-75 months). The 5-year and 8-year survival rates of the revision prostheses were 99.3%[95%CI(98.3%, 100.3%)] and 92.6% [95%CI(87.1%, 98.1%)], respectively. The proportions of prosthetic infection and eccentric liner wear in the ≤55-year-old group were significantly higher than those in the >55-year-old group (χ²=3.981, P=0.046; χ²=5.226, P=0.022), while the propor-tion of aseptic loosening in the >55-year-old group was significantly higher than that in the ≤55-year-old group (χ²=5.254, P=0.022). The 8-year survival rates of the revision prostheses of ≤55-year-old group and >55-year-old group were 76.8% [95%CI(50.5%, 103.1%)] and 95.4% [95%CI(91.1%, 99.7%)], respectively. Conclusion Young patients have a higher risk of re-revi-sion after revision THA.

s] Objective To evaluate the effect of comprehensive schistosomiasis control measures with focus on total removal of cattle and sheep in Junshan District,Yueyang City. Methods The retrospective review and field survey were implemented in the pilot villages in Junshan District. The data of Schistosoma japonicum infection status of human,cattle,sheep and Oncome-lania hupensis snails,and density of snails were gathered and modeled in the period of 2006 to 2016. Results The prevalence of schistosome infection in residents in the pilot villages decreased from 3.44％ in 2006 to 0.59％ in 2012(F = 14.501,P =0.013). After removal of all the cattle and sheep in 2013,the prevalence of schistosome infection in the residents decreased to zero in 2016(F=14.148,P=0.033). The density of living snails decreased from 0.8833/0.1 m2 in 2006 to 0.3088/0.1 m2 in 2012(F=76.250,P=0.005). Conclusion The comprehensive schistosomiasis control strategy with focus on cattle and sheep removal is remarkably effective.
