Objective:To study the relationship between the type of hypertriglyceridemia(HTG) and the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:A total of 112 AP patients with HTG diagnosed and treated in Bozhou People's Hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively selected as the study objects, the AP severity and complication rate of patients with different types of HTG were compared. According to the discharge status of AP patients, they were divided into poor prognosis group (26 cases) and good prognosis group (86 cases). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in HTG patients with AP.Results:The main types of HTG in AP patients were type Ⅰ, type Ⅳ and type Ⅴ. The proportion of severe disease in AP patients with type Ⅰ HTG was higher than that of other HTG types, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of pancreatic pseudocyst and infectious pancreatic necrosis in AP patients with different HTG types had no statistical differences ( P>0.05). The incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and organ failure in AP patients with HTG type Ⅰ was higher than that with other HTG types, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The proportion of type I HTG and severe AP in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group : 88.46%(23/26) vs. 68.60%(59/86), 76.92%(20/26) vs. 13.95%(12/86); the triglycerides (TG), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), total cholesterol (TC) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group: (17.29 ± 3.48) mmol/L vs. (12.29 ± 2.45) mmol/L, (3.04 ± 0.46) mmol/L vs.(2.46 ± 0.68) mmol/L,(6.03 ± 1.13) mmol/L vs.(5.25 ± 1.23) mmol/L, (12.01 ± 1.67) mmol/L vs. (11.14 ± 1.82)mmol/L; while albumin and blood calcium were lower than those in the good prognosis group: (36.28 ± 1.53) g/L vs. (37.33 ± 1.65) g/L, (1.65 ± 0.57) mmol/L vs. (2.04 ± 0.72) mmol/L; there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of single factor analysis showed that combined HTG type, AP severity, triglyceride (TG), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), total cholesterol (TC), fasting blood glucose (FPG), albumin and blood calcium levels were risk factors affecting the prognosis of AP patients ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combined HTG type, AP severity, TG, VLDL, TC, FPG, blood calcium and albumin levels were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of AP patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The type of HTG is closely related to the severity and prognosis of AP patients. Among them, AP patients with type Ⅰ HTG have a higher rate of severe disease. The combination of type Ⅰ HTG, the severity of AP, and abnormal lipid metabolism indexes are all important independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of AP patients.

With the advancement of contemporary science and technology,minimally invasive surgery has assumed an increasingly indispensable role in the management of pancreatic diseases. In comparison to traditional open methods,minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is frequently associated with shorter hospital stays,reduced intraoperative blood loss,and decreased rates of general and pancreas-specific complications,albeit with longer operation times. However,additional research is required to elucidate the differences between minimally invasive and open surgical methods concerning overall survival and disease-free survival. The implementation of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery demands sophisticated equipment and necessitates extensive training for surgeons to surmount the procedural learning curve. To fully exploit the benefits of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of pancreatic diseases,it is imperative to integrate cutting-edge scientific technologies,innovate perioperative management pathways,develop multidisciplinary collaborative models,and establish a standardized training system.

Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with the ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple lineages. In recent years, MSCs have been increasingly used as a therapeutic strategy in orthopedic diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cartilage damage, tendon bone damage, bone defects, and degenerative bone diseases. Compared with cell-free therapy, MSCs have achieved better results. However, due to their widespread sources, complex action mechanisms, and diverse product types, there are certain limitations and controversies in their clinical application in orthopedics. This article will discuss the current main applications and future trends of MSCs in the field of orthopedics, looking forward to the prospects of MSCs application in orthopedics.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term outcomes of posterior release, reduction, fixation, and fusion for irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD).Methods:Between January 2005 and June 2016, a total of 31 patients with irreducible AAD who had received posterior approach surgery were included. Among them, there were 13 males and 18 females, the average age was 39.1±13.5 years (range 9-72 years). The clinical data of the eligible individuals were collected and analyzed. Neck disability index (NDI) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were recorded to evaluate the recovery of neck and neurological functions. The atlantodental interval (ADI), clivus-canal angle (CCA), and cervico-medullary angle (CMA) were measured to evaluate the reduction of AAD. C 0-C 2 angle and C 2-C 7 angle were measured to evaluate the recovery of cervical alignment. For individuals with basilar invagination, the distances from the tip of odontoid process to Chamberlain line and Wackenheim line were measured to assess the reduction in the vertical direction. The duration of bony fusion and complications were also analyzed. Results:The mean follow-up period was 82.7±26.4 months (range 61-170 months). In terms of functional scores, the NDI dropped from 43.41%±11.60% before surgery to 12.19%±6.97% at the six months follow-up, and 9.45%±7.51% at the last follow-up ( F=89.56, P<0.001). The JOA increased from 9.48±2.41 points before surgery to 14.71±1.42 points at the six months follow-up, and 14.97±1.47 points at the last follow-up ( F=52.89, P<0.001). Regarding the horizontal and vertical dislocations, the ADI decreased from 9.16±2.32 mm before surgery to 1.39±1.04 mm at the six months follow-up, and 1.29±1.08 mm at the last follow-up ( F=189.61, P<0.001). The distance from the tip of odontoid process to Chamberlain line decreased from 11.15±4.35 mm before surgery to 2.03±2.83 mm at the six months follow-up, and 2.15±3.02 mm at the last follow-up ( F=37.58, P<0.001). The distance from the tip of odontoid process to Wackenheim line reduced from 6.81±2.57 mm before surgery to -2.23±1.58 mm at the six months follow-up, and -2.27±1.58 mm at the last follow-up ( F=122.16, P<0.001). For the amelioration of the compression on medulla and spinal cord, the CCA increased from 113.68°±12.67° before surgery to 143.39°±7.38° at the six months follow-up, and 142.39°±7.13° at the last follow-up ( F=67.13, P<0.001). The CMA increased from 115.71°±13.69° before operation to 145.58°±10.78° at the last follow-up ( F=41.44, P<0.001). Regarding the curvature of the cervical spine, the C 0-C 2 angle recovered from 1.94°±15.82° before surgery to 14.84°±6.45° at the last follow-up ( F=11.97, P<0.001), and the C 2-C 7 angle ameliorated from 27.26°±8.49° before operation to 19.26°±5.44° at the last follow-up ( F=11.13, P<0.001). Bony fusion was achieved in all cases, the fusion time was 9.71±2.55 months (range 5-15 months). A total of five complications occurred in the cases (two cerebrospinal fluid leakages, one deep infection, one transient neurologic deficit, and one dysphagia). They were all cured with corresponding treatments. In the last follow-up, none of the cases developed failure of internal fixation or re-dislocation. Conclusion:Posterior approach release, reduction, fixation and fusion technique is a safe and efficient surgical strategy with favorable long-term follow-up outcomes for irreducible AAD.

OBJECTIVETo observe the impacts of thermosensitive moxibustion (TSM) on the expressions of nitric oxide (NO), typeⅠdisintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4), typeⅡcollagen and proteoglycan (PG) in the rabbit models of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and explore the mechanism of TSM on KOA.
METHODSA total of 42 Japanese long-eared male rabbits were divided into a blank group (6 rabbits), a model group (6 rabbits), a moxibustion group (24 rabbits) and a sham-operation group (6 rabbits) according to the random number table. In the blank group, the rabbits were fed normally. In the model and moxibustion groups, the papain injection was given to establish KOA models. The rabbits in the sham-operation group were treated with the intracavity injection of 0.9% NaCl solution. The rabbits were forced to move for 30 min every day, continuously for 15 days during modeling. At the end of modeling, in the moxibustion group, moxibusiton was applied at "Dubi" (ST 35), once a day, 40 min each time, for 14 days totally. According to the temperature changes during moxibustion, the rabbits were divided into a TSM group and a non-TSM group. 6 rabbits were collected randomly from the two groups. The usual feeding was given in the blank group, the model group and the sham-operation group, without any intervention. The body mass and behavioristics changes were observed in each group. At the end of treatment, the nitrate reduction method was adopted to determine NO expression in the serum. The real-time PCR was adopted to determine the expressions of ADAMTS-4, typeⅡcollagen and PG in the cartilage.
RESULTS① After modeling, compared with the blank group, the body mass was all reduced and the Lequesne MG score was increased in the model group, TSM group, non-TSM group and sham-operation group (<0.05, <0.01). After intervention, compared with the blank group, the body mass was decreased and the Lequesne MG score was increased in the model and sham-operation groups (<0.05, <0.01). Compared with the model group, the body mass was increased and the lequesne MG score was decreased in the TSM, non-TSM, and sham-operation groups (<0.05, <0.01). Compared with the non-TSM group, the body mass in the TSM group was increased remarkably (<0.05), but the difference in Lequesne MG score was not statistically significant (>0.05). ② After intervention, compared with the blank group, the expressions of NO and ADAMTS-4 were all increased and the expressions of typeⅡcollagen and PG were decreased in the model group, TSM group, non-TSM group and sham-operation group (<0.05, <0.01). Compared with the model group, the expressions of NO and ADAMTS-4 were all remarkably lower and the expressions of typeⅡcollagen and PG were increased in the TSM group, non-TSM group and sham-operation group (<0.05, <0.01). Compared with the non-TSM group, the expressions of NO and ADAMTS-4 were all remarkably lower and the expressions of typeⅡcollagen and PG were increased in the TSM group after intervention (all <0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe thermosensitive moxibustion alleviates the inflammatory reactions and protects the joint cartilage through inhibiting the expressions of NO and ADAMTS-4 to achieve the effects in the treatment of KOA.
