BACKGROUND:Flap transplantation technique is a commonly used surgical procedure for the treatment of severe tissue defects,but postoperative flap necrosis is easily triggered by ischemia-reperfusion injury.Therefore,it is still an important research topic to improve the survival rate of transplanted flaps. OBJECTIVE:To review the pathogenesis and latest treatment progress of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang Database and PubMed database were searched for relevant literature published from 2014 to 2024.The search terms used were"flap,ischemia-reperfusion injury,inflammatory response,oxidative stress,Ca2+overload,apoptosis,mesenchymal stem cells,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathways,shock wave,pretreatment"in Chinese and English.After elimination of irrelevant literature,poor quality and obsolete literature,77 documents were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Flap ischemia/reperfusion injury may be related to pathological factors such as inflammatory response,oxidative stress response,Ca2+overload,and apoptosis,which can cause apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells,vascular damage and microcirculation disorders in the flap,and eventually lead to flap necrosis.Studies have found that mesenchymal stem cell transplantation,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathway modulators,shock waves,and pretreatment can alleviate flap ischemia/reperfusion injuries from different aspects and to varying degrees,and reduce the necrosis rate and necrosis area of the grafted flap.Although there are many therapeutic methods for skin flap ischemia/reperfusion injury,a unified and effective therapeutic method has not yet been developed in the clinic,and the advantages and disadvantages of various therapeutic methods have not yet been compared.Most of the studies remain in the stage of animal experiments,rarely involving clinical observations.Therefore,a lot of research is required in the future to gradually move from animal experiments to the clinic in order to better serve the clinic.

Identifying drug-drug interactions(DDIs)is essential to prevent adverse effects from polypharmacy.Although deep learning has advanced DDI identification,the gap between powerful models and their lack of clinical application and evaluation has hindered clinical benefits.Here,we developed a Multi-Dimensional Feature Fusion model named MDFF,which integrates one-dimensional simplified molec-ular input line entry system sequence features,two-dimensional molecular graph features,and three-dimensional geometric features to enhance drug representations for predicting DDIs.MDFF was trained and validated on two DDI datasets,evaluated across three distinct scenarios,and compared with advanced DDI prediction models using accuracy,precision,recall,area under the curve,and F1 score metrics.MDFF achieved state-of-the-art performance across all metrics.Ablation experiments showed that integrating multi-dimensional drug features yielded the best results.More importantly,we obtained adverse drug reaction reports uploaded by Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from 2021 to 2023 and used MDFF to identify potential adverse DDIs.Among 12 real-world adverse drug reaction reports,the predictions of 9 reports were supported by relevant evidence.Additionally,MDFF demon-strated the ability to explain adverse DDI mechanisms,providing insights into the mechanisms behind one specific report and highlighting its potential to assist practitioners in improving medical practice.

Objective To investigate predictive factors of malignant risk for follicular thyroid neoplasms(FTN)with a maximum diameter≤4 cm,providing evidence for preoperative diagnosis and individualized treatment for FTN patients.Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of FTN patients with a maximum tumor diameter≤4 cm treated at our hospital between January 2018 and December 2023.Based on postoperative pathological diagnosis,the patients were divided into follicular thyroid carcinoma(FTC)group and follicular thyroid adenoma(FTA)group.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore predictive factors of malignant risk of FTN.Results A total of 870 patients were included,comprising of 745 patients(85.6%)in the FTA group and125 patients(14.4%)in the FTC group.The univariate analysis showed thatage,gender,BMI,comorbidity of Hashimoto's thyroiditis,number and location of nodules,the maximum diameter of nodules,internal structure of nodules,and internal blood flow signals had no significant differences(P>0.05),while nodule echogenicity,margins,halo,taller-than-wide shape,and calcification had significant differences(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that irregular margins(OR=3.061,95%CI:1.653-5.667,P=0.000),uneven thickness of the halo(OR=5.868,95%CI:1.258-27.377,P=0.024),and peripheral rim calcification(OR=4.364,95%CI:1.329-14.333,P=0.015)were predictive factors of malignant risk for FTC.Conclusions Ultrasound features have certain value for evaluating benign or malignant nature of FTN.Careful assessment of nodule margins,halo,and calcification can facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of small FTN.

Objective To explore the relationship between peripheral blood mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)copy number and urinary microalbumin(MAlb)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 87 patients with T2DM from the Endocrinology Department of East Hospital of Tongji University were selected based on inclusion criteria.According to urinary MAlb levels,patients were divided into T2DM group(MAlb＜30 mg/L)and MAlb group(MAlb＞30 mg/L).General patient information was collected,and clinical indicators such as blood glucose,lipid profile,glycated hemoglobin and insulin were measured.Peripheral blood mtDNA was extracted and the copy number was detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for albuminuria.Results Compared with T2DM group,DM duration,serum creatinine,serum uric acid and copy number of mtDNA in MAlb group increased(P＜0.05),while high density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased(P＜0.05).Logistic analysis showed that the copy number of mtDNA was the influencing factor of MAlb in T2DM patients.Conclusions The peripheral blood mtDNA copy number in T2DM patients is positively correlated with urinary microalbumin,thus providing a potential target for early detection of DKD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status and risk factors of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative or-ganisms(CRO)infections in neurosurgical ICU patients,and to construct and validate their prediction models.METHODS Clinical data and active screening microbiological results of 113 patients admitted to the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit(ICU)of The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between Jul.2023 and Jan.2024 were retrospectively collected,and the patients were divided into a CRO-infected group(n=28)and a non-CRO-infected group(n=85).Predictive variables were screened using LASSO regression and logistic regression.Risk prediction models were constructed using random forest(RF)and logistic regression,the performance of the mod-el was evaluated by analyzing the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC),calibration curves,and decision curves,and internal validation was performed using the bootstrap resampling method.RESULTS Among 113 neurosurgical ICU patients,28 cases developed CRO infections,with an infection rate of 24.78％.The highest infection rate was observed in lower respiratory tract infection,with 17 cases(15.04％).The predominant CRO pathogens were carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)and carbapenem-re-sistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB),accounting for 50.00％and 42.86％of cases respectively.The AUC values for the RF prediction model and nomogram prediction modeling groups were 0.881 and 0.787 respectively,with Brier scores of 0.114 and 0.146,and threshold probabilities of net benefit ranging from 10％to 97％and 12％to 62％respectively.The RF prediction model exhibited superior discrimination,calibration,and clinical u-tility.The RF prediction model demonstrated that days of combined use of meropenem and vancomycin,GCS score,intestinal colonization,and hospitalization history were important predictors for CRO infections.CONCLUSION The prediction model for CRO infections in neurosurgical ICU patients established based on random forest algorithm has good predictive performance,and can be intervened with preventive and control measures for important predictive factors.

Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous flurbiprofen axetil on the incidence and severity of catheter-related bladder discomfort(CRBD)after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).Methods The elderly patients undergoing TURP under general anesthesia were enrolled,and randomly divided into two groups:flurbiprofen axetil group(group F)and control group(group C).Ten minutes before the end of surgery,group F was given 50 mg of flurbiprofen axetil intravenously,group C was given an equal amount of 0.9％sodium chloride injection.The primary outcome indicator was the incidence of moderate to severe CRBD immediately after entering the resuscitation room(T0).Secondary indicators included the incidence and severity of CRBD at 1 h(T1),2 h(T2),and 6 h(T3)after entering the resuscitation room,the amount of sufentanil used within 24 hours after surgery,postoperative NRS score,flurbiprofen axetil-related and analgesic adverse reactions 24 hours after surgery,and patient satisfaction.Results A total of 90 patients were included and each group was 45 patients.The incidence of moderate to severe CRBD at T0 was significantly lower in group F than that in group C(8.9％vs.33.3％,P=0.004).The incidence of CRBD in T1,T2,and T3 was lower in group F than in group C(P＜0.05).The incidence of mild CRBD at T3 in group F was lower than that in group C(P＜0.05).The incidence of moderate to severe CRBD at T1 and T2 in groups F was lower than that in group C(P＜0.05).The amount of sufentanil used in group F at 24 hours after surgery was significantly lower than that in group C(P=0.001).The pain scores in group F at T0,T1,T2,and T3 were lower than those in group C(P＜0.05);The postoperative patient satisfaction score in group F was higher than that in group C(P=0.001).However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative anesthesia resuscitation time and 24-hour adverse reactions incidence(P＞0.05).Conclusion Intravenous flurbiprofen axetil can safely and effectively reduce the incidence and severity of CRBD after TURP.It can significantly relieve pain,reduce sufentanil use,and have high clinical application value.

In recent years,the prevalence of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia caused by Actinoba-cillus pleuropneumoniae(APP)has significantly increased in large-scale pig farms in China.The i-solation,identification,and biological characteristic testing of newly prevalent strains have impor-tant clinical significance.This study isolated four suspected APP strains(named XB2T-56,JMTLP-443,YD-THB-755,SYZJ-291)from lung samples of pig farms suspected of outbreaks of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia in Hubei Province.They were identified by PCR amplification,and multiplex PCR serological typing,the biological properties were tested by detecting the growth a-bility,hemolytic activity and biofilm forming ability.The drug resistance of the strains was ana-lyzed by drug sensitivity testing,and the virulence of one strain(XB2T-56)in mice and piglets was evaluated.The PCR identification result showed that all four clinical isolates were APP serotype 15 strains.These four strains grew slower than serotype 1 standard strains,had weaker hemolytic activity,but could form stronger biofilms.These strains are all less sensitive to cephalosporin,tylo-sin,sulfamethoxazole,and doxycycline,but sensitive to cefotaxime and enrofloxacin.The mice and piglet infection experiments showed that the isolated strain XB2T-56 has strong virulence.Artifi-cial intranasal infection causes acute death in piglets,with typical symptoms of pleuropneumonia in the lungs,and serotype 15 strains can be isolated from the lesion site.This study indicates that the APP serotype 15 strain has strong virulence,providing new date for the clinical epidemiological characteristics of APP.

Objectives:To analyze the disease burden and trends of ischemic stroke attributable to major metabolic risk factors in China from 1990 to 2021,and provide a basis for disease prevention and management.Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease(GBD)2021 data,we compared the age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR)and age-standardized disability-adjusted life year rate(ASDR)of ischemic stroke attributable to major metabolic risk factors(including overweight/obesity,hypertension,elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low bone density,hyperglycemia,and impaired renal function)in China and globally,and estimated their time trends through estimated annual percentage change(EAPC).We also analyzed the number of deaths,mortality rate,disability adjusted life year(DALY),and DALY rate of ischemic stroke attributable to major metabolic risk factors in China from 1990 to 2021,and compared the epidemiological differences among different gender and age groups.Results:From 1990 to 2021,the disease burden of ischemic stroke attributable to major metabolic risk factors in China showed a slight upward trend(1990 to 2005)and then gradually decreased,with a relatively small overall decline.,while the global disease burden showed a decreasing trend.In 2021,the ASMR and ASDR of ischemic stroke attributable to major metabolic risk factors in China were 48.11/100 000 and 898.35/100 000(EAPC[95%CI]were-0.24%[-1.13%to 0.66%]and-0.25%[-1.00%to 0.51%]),respectively,both higher than the global average levels(33.96/100 000 and 651.46/100 000,EAPC[95%CI]were-1.75%[-2.03%to 1.47%]and-1.49%[-1.74%to-1.23%],respectively).Compared with 1990,the actual mortality rate and DALY rate of ischemic stroke attributable to major metabolic risk factors in China increased by 139.60%and 110.53%respectively in 2021.There are gender differences in the disease burden of ischemic stroke attributable to major metabolic risk factors in China,with significantly higher death numbers,mortality rates,DALY,and DALY rates in males compared to females.At the age level,DALY and DALY rates were both higher in individuals aged 15-49,DALY increased but DALY rates decreased in individuals aged 50-69.DALY surged in individuals aged 70 and above,male DALY rates showed increasing trend and female DALY rates showed slightly decreasing trend.Conclusions:The disease burden of ischemic stroke in China is significantly affected by metabolic risk factors.Although prevention and control have achieved certain positive results,the overall disease burden in China is higher than that of the world,and precise intervention strategies need to be developed for different genders and ages in China.
