Objective:To investigate the predictive value of a nomogram based on multimodal CT parameters for the outcome of endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (AVBAO).Methods:Patients with AVBAO underwent EVT at Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2021 to March 2024 were included retrospectively. At 90 days after EVT, the modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate clinical outcome. 0-3 points were defined as good outcome and 4-6 points were defined as poor outcome. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression model was used to screen for predictive variables. Then a nomogram was drawn and the prediction model was evaluated. Results:A total of 91 patients with AVBAO were included. There were 60 males (65.9%), aged 69.09±10.57 years. Thirty-eight patients (41.8%) had good outcome, 53 (58.2%) had poor outcome, and 35 (38.5%) died. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in white blood cell count, neutrophil count, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (pc-ASPECTS), Basilar Artery on Computed Tomography Angiography (BATMAN) score, core infarct volume, mismatched volume ratio, onset to door time between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group (all P<0.05). The above indicators were included in a binary multivariate stepwise logistic regression model. The results showed that higher NIHSS scores (odds ratio [ OR] 1.154, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.070-1.244; P<0.001), lower BATMAN scores ( OR 0.626, 95% CI 0.416-0.943; P=0.025), and larger core infarct volumes ( OR 1.147, 95% CI 1.046-1.258; P=0.004) on admission were the independent risk factors for poor outcome. A nomogram was plotted using the above three independent risk factors as predictor variables. Its area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting poor outcome was 0.942 (95% CI 0.894-0.990). The sensitivity and specificity were 81.1% and 97.4%, respectively. The calibration curve fluctuates within a small range around the ideal curve. A mean absolute error was 0.027 and a mean square error was 0.001. The clinical decision curve suggested that the model had good clinical applicability. The dynamic nomogram is shown in: https://yuepeng.shinyapps.io/VBAO_model/. Conclusion:The nomogram prediction model based on multimodal CT parameters has good predictive performance for poor outcome in patients with AVBAO after EVT.

Objective To explore the application of patient empowerment in early rehabilitation training for patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(DVT)after receiving catheter-directed thrombolysis(CDT).Methods A total of 110 patients with lower extremity DVT,who were scheduled for CDT therapy,were enrolled in this study.Using random digital table method,the patients were divided into control group(n=55)and intervention group(n=55).Routine rehabilitation activities were implemented for patients of the control group,while patient empowerment-based early rehabilitation training program was carried out for patients of the intervention group.The compliance to rehabilitation exercise,difference of upper/lower patella leg circumference,incidence of complications,duration of catheterization and thrombolysis,and length of hospital stay in both groups were calculated.The Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease,Chinese version of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale,and the VEnous INsufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study(VEINES)Quality of Life scale were used to evaluate the rehabilitation results of the patients of two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the duration of catheterization and thrombolysis,incidence of complications,and length of hospital stay between the two groups(all P＞0.05).At the time of discharge,the difference of upper/lower patella leg circumference in the intervention group was remarkably smaller than that in the control group,and the compliance with rehabilitation exercise,the self-efficacy,the readiness for discharge,and the quality of life in 3 months after discharge in the intervention group were strikingly better than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The implementation of patient empowerment in early rehabilitation training for patients with lower extremity DVT after receiving CDT therapy can improve the compliance with rehabilitation exercise,self-efficacy,limb swelling,readiness for discharge,and quality of life after discharge from hospital.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:554-559)

Bone defects caused by different causes such as trauma, severe bone infection and other factors are common in clinic and difficult to treat. Usually, bone substitutes are required for repair. Current bone grafting materials used clinically include autologous bones, allogeneic bones, xenografts, and synthetic materials, etc. Other than autologous bones, the major hurdles of rest bone grafts have various degrees of poor biological activity and lack of active ingredients to provide osteogenic impetus. Bone marrow contains various components such as stem cells and bioactive factors, which are contributive to osteogenesis. In response, the technique of bone marrow enrichment, based on the efficient utilization of components within bone marrow, has been risen, aiming to extract osteogenic cells and factors from bone marrow of patients and incorporate them into 3D scaffolds for fabricating bone grafts with high osteoinductivity. However, the scientific guidance and application specification are lacked with regard to the clinical scope, approach, safety and effectiveness. In this context, under the organization of Chinese Orthopedic Association, the Expert consensus for the clinical application of autologous bone marrow enrichment technique for bone repair ( version 2023) is formulated based on the evidence-based medicine. The consensus covers the topics of the characteristics, range of application, safety and application notes of the technique of autologous bone marrow enrichment and proposes corresponding recommendations, hoping to provide better guidance for clinical practice of the technique.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.

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 study the constitutional features of diseases spectrum of inpatients with liver disease in infectious diseases department of three comprehensive hospitals to provide resource allocation proposition for the construction of Department of Infectious Diseases. Methods: Inpatients data were extracted from the department of infectious diseases of three comprehensive hospitals (Kunming General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, Yuxi People's Hospital and Dali People's Hospital) between January 2010 to December 2015, and were retrospectively analyzed. The distribution of patients with viral hepatitis (A, B, C, E) and severe liver disease (Severe hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer) was further analyzed in hospitalized patients. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. A chi-squared test was used for comparison between groups. The change trends of disease constituent ratio in different years were checked by 2 test. Results: Liver disease, tuberculosis and AIDS were the three common diseases of three comprehensive hospitals in Yunnan, accounting for 58.61% of all admissions. However, an inpatients with liver diseases (17.25%, 3555/20606, 95% CI 16.73%-17.77%) were significantly lower than tuberculosis inpatients (33.98%, 7002/20606, 95% CI 33.34%-34.62%). An observations from different hospitals and at different time points showed that the proportion of patients with liver disease was lower than that of tuberculosis patients. The proportion of inpatients with HBV infection showed a downward trend (P < 0.001), whereas the proportions of inpatients with HCV and severe liver diseases showed an increased trend over time (P < 0.001). Conclusion The proportion of inpatients with liver diseases was lower than tuberculosis inpatients in the Department of Infectious Diseases of three comprehensive hospitals. Hence, the paucity of the disease spectrum should be considered for resource allocation in the construction of infectious disease department.
