Objective To analyze the characteristics and risk factors associated with postoperative deep vein thrombosis(DVT)of the lower extremities in patients undergoing surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 298 patients who were hospitalized for lumbar degenerative diseases and underwent lumbar spine surgery treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from October 1,2022 to April 15,2023.Patients were divided into DVT group(n=71)and non-DVT group(n=227)according to whether DVT of the lower limbs occurred within 1 week postoperatively.The incidence and distribution characteristics of postoperative DVT were analyzed.Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for DVT,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to determine cut-off values for relevant risk factors.Results A total of 298 patients were included,among whom 159 were males(53.4%)and 139 were females(46.6%),with an average age of(64.5±9.8)years.DVT occurred in 71 patients,and the incidence of lower extremity DVT was 23.8%.In the DVT group,there were 49 cases(69.0%)of intermuscular vein thrombosis,and 22 cases of other types of thrombosis(7 cases of peroneal vein thrombosis,4 cases of posterior tibial vein thrombosis,3 cases of common femoral vein thrombosis,1 case of anterior tibial vein thrombosis,and 7 cases of multiple thrombosis);58 cases(81.7%)had DVT in one lower extremity,and 13 cases(18.3%)had DVT in both lower extremities.Univariate analysis results showed that age,body mass index(BMI),length of hospital stay,history of hypertension,operative time,and intraoperative blood loss were associated with the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases(P<0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis results indicated that older age(OR=1.079,P<0.01),higher BMI(OR=1.130,P=0.01),history of hypertension(OR=2.992,P<0.01),and larger intraoperative blood loss(OR=1.002,P=0.03)were independent risk factors for the occurrence of lower extremity DVT.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that patients with age>58.5 years,BMI>24.01 kg/m2,history of hypertension,and intraoperative blood loss>550 ml had a significantly increased risk of postoperative lower limb DVT.Conclusions The incidence of lower extremity DVT after surgery for lumbar degenerative disease is high,and intermuscular venous thrombosis is more common.Older age,higher BMI,history of hypertension,and larger intraoperative blood loss are independent risk factors for the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after surgery.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and prognostic factors of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with molecular targeted therapy (MTT) and camrelizumab in patients with unresectable recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (urHCC).Methods:Clinical data of 83 patients with urHCC treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between October 2018 and October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 75 males and 8 females, aged (55.2±10.7) years. Among them, 43 patients received TACE combined with MTT and camrelizumab (observation group), while 40 received TACE combined with MTT alone (control group). Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between the groups. Treatment response was assessed according to the mRECIST criteria, and objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were compared. Adverse events (AEs) were monitored in both groups.Results:The observation group demonstrated longer median OS (31.8 vs 19.9 months, χ2=11.26, P=0.001) and median PFS (14.5 vs 7.4, months, χ2=4.08, P=0.043) compared to the control group. The ORR and DCR in the observation group were 51.2% (22/43) and 90.1% (39/43), respectively, both higher than those in the control group [25.0% (10/40) and 70.0% (28/40), respectively]. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2=5.99, 5.71; P=0.023, 0.025; respectively). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that different treatment regimens were influencing factors for post-treatment survival in patients with urHCC (control group vs treatment group: HR=2.633, 95% CI: 1.483- 4.677, P<0.001), as well as for PFS (control group vs treatment group: HR=1.781, 95% CI: 1.116-2.842, P=0.015). No treatment-related deaths or unexpected AEs occurred in either group. The most common systemic therapy-related AE was hand-foot syndrome, observed in 15 patients (34.9%, 15/43) in the observation group and 9 (22.5%, 9/40) in the control group ( χ2=1.55, P=0.236). Conclusions:Compared to TACE combined with MTT alone, TACE combined with MTT and camrelizumab demonstrates superior efficacy and acceptable safety in treating unresectable recurrent HCC.

Objective A scoping review was conducted on relevant studies regarding the use of non-invasive brain-computer interface(BCI)technology to promote the rehabilitation of upper limb function in stroke patients,aiming to provide new ideas and references for the rehabilitation nursing of stroke patients.Methods Relevant studies on non-invasive BCI in upper limb functional rehabilitation of stroke patients were searched through computer system including Chinese biomedical literature database,Wanfang database,CNKI,VIP database,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase and Web of Science.The search period was from the establishment of the database to December 6,2024,and the included literature was sorted and analyzed.Results A total of 23 articles were included,involving 1 235 stroke patients.Non-invasive brain-computer interface technology mainly includes brain-computer interface based on motion imagination combined with virtual reality technology,functional electrical stimulation and exoskeleton robot.The main evaluation indexes were Fugl-Meyer upper extremity partial scale,modified Barthel index,event related desynchronization intensity,upper limb motor function rating scale,etc.Non-invasive brain-computer interface technology can improve upper limb function,self-care ability and stimulation of cerebral cortex in stroke patients.Conclusion Non-invasive brain-computer interface technology is feasible and effective in upper limb functional rehabilitation training of stroke patients,but there are few relevant studies.In the future,a new era multidisciplinary rehabilitation model can be built,and scientific and practical evaluation indicators were formulated to promote rapid rehabilitation of stroke patients.

OBJECTIVE To study the safety of Shuangshu decoction in rats and its efficacy in improving functional dyspepsia （FD） in rats. METHODS In safety test， 40 rats were divided into blank control group， Shuangshu decoction low-dose， medium- dose and high-dose groups [108， 216， 324 g/（kg·d）， calculated by raw medicine， the same applies below]； they were given relevant medicine intragastrically， for continuous 14 days. The mortality and toxic reactions of rats were recorded， and the organ indexes of the liver， kidney， spleen， lung and heart of rats were calculated； the pathological morphological changes in the liver， kidney， spleen， lung， heart， stomach， duodenum， and colon were observed to evaluate the acute toxicity of Shuangshu decoction. Another 40 rats were grouped and administered in the same way for 30 consecutive days. The mortality and toxic reactions of the rats were recorded， and the corresponding organ indexes were calculated. The pathological morphological changes in the corresponding organs were observed， and blood routine and serum biochemical indicators were measured， in order to assess the subacute toxicity of Shuangshu decoction. In pharmacodynamic experiments: 50 rats were divided into blank control group， model group， and Shuangshu decoction low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （9.45， 18.9， 37.8 g/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for blank control group， rats in all other groups were used to establish the FD rat model by subcutaneous injection of loperamide （3.5 mg/kg）. Rats in each group were administered the corresponding drug solution/normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 14 consecutive days. After the last medication， fecal moisture content， intestinal propulsion rate， gastric emptying rate and serum level of motilin were all detected， and interstitial cell of Cajal （ICC） ultrastructure of rats was observed in colon tissue. RESULTS The safety experiments showed that no death occurred in each dose group， and no significant difference was found in organ coefficient， routine blood and serum biological index， compared to blank control group （P＞0.05）； no abnormality was found in organ appearance and pathological sections. The results of the pharmacodynamic experiments showed that， compared with the blank control group， the fecal moisture content， gastric emptying rate， intestinal propulsion rate， and serum motilin levels in the model group were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）； in the colonic tissue， the mitochondria in the ICC exhibited severe swelling with the disappearance of cristae， and the endoplasmic reticulum was dilated. Compared with model group， the rats in Shuangshu decoction high-dose group showed significant increases in the above quantitative indicators （P＜ 0.05）； additionally， there was a large number of mitochondria in the ICC of the colonic tissue， with clear cristae and regular arrangement. CONCLUSIONS Shuangshu decoction is safe and has a beneficial improving effect on FD rats； its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of gastrointestinal hormone expression to promote gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion， as well as the repair of mitochondrial structure in ICCs to restore gastrointestinal function.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the application value of three-dimensional visualization reconstruction technology in robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy（RAPN）for the treatment of highly complex（R.E.N.A.L. score≥10）renal hilar tumors.Methods:The clinical data of 87 patients with highly complex renal hilar tumors with R.E.N.A.L. scores ≥10 who were treated in First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2021 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed，of which 36 underwent 3D visualization reconstruction and 51 underwent conventional CT. The 3D visualization reconstruction method was to import the patient’s enhanced CT images in DICOM format into the 3D reconstruction image data processing software to produce a 3D visualization model. There were 22 males and 14 females in the 3D visualization group，with an average age of（54.2 ± 9.5）years，a body mass index of（24.8 ± 4.5）kg/m 2，and a tumor size of（4.3 ± 1.0）cm. Tumors were located on the left side in 16 cases and on the right side in 20 cases. Tumor stages were classified as T 1a in 11 cases，T 1b in 21 cases，and T 2a in 4 cases. The R.E.N.A.L. scores were distributed as follows：10 points in 21 cases，11 points in 12 cases，and 12 points in 3 cases. The estimated glomerular filtration rate（eGFR）before operation was（78.2±9.6）ml/（min·1.73 m 2）. There were 35 males and 16 females in the conventional CT group，with an average age of（51.3±8.9）years，a body mass index of（25.4 ± 3.9）kg/m 2，and a tumor size of（4.1 ± 1.2）cm. Tumors were located on the left side in 25 cases and on the right side in 26 cases. Tumor stages were classified as T 1a in 12 cases，T 1b in 33 cases，and T 2a in 6 cases. The R.E.N.A.L. scores were distributed as follows：10 points in 31 cases，11 points in 18 cases，and 12 points in 2 cases . The preoperative eGFR was（80.6 ± 8.8）ml/（min·1.73 m 2）. There was no statistical difference in general data and preoperative renal function between the two groups（ P > 0.05）. Both groups underwent RAPN. The two groups were analyzed and compared in terms of operation time，warm ischemia time，intraoperative blood loss，postoperative hospital stay，postoperative complications，and changes in renal function 3 months after surgery. Results:There were no cases of conversion to radical treatment or open surgery in both the 3D visualization group and the conventional CT group. The 3D visualization group had shorter operation time［（94.6 ± 18.5）min vs.（110.2 ± 17.2）min， P < 0.001］，shorter renal artery occlusion time［（23.3 ± 4.0）min vs.（27.2 ± 3.3）min， P < 0.001］，less intraoperative blood loss［120（100，250）ml vs. 150（120，300）ml， P = 0.018］，and a lower proportion of intraoperative collecting system incision（19/36 vs. 38/51， P = 0.042）than the conventional CT group. There was no significant statistical difference in the time of postoperative drainage tube removal and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups（ P > 0.05）. One case in the 3D visualization group had postoperative fever，and two cases in the conventional CT group had postoperative obvious macroscopic hematuria. Postoperative pathological diagnosis of the patients was clear cell carcinoma in 78 cases，papillary cell carcinoma in 6 cases，chromophobe cell carcinoma in 2 cases，and oncocytoma in 1 case. No positive resection margin was found in both groups. Three months after surgery，there was no significant statistical difference in eGFR between the two groups［（70.6 ± 8.5）ml/（min·1.73 m 2）vs.（71.4 ± 9.2）ml/（min·1.73 m 2）， P = 0.681］. During the median follow-up of 17.8 months，no tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed in either group. Conclusions:RAPN has good safety and feasibility in the treatment of highly complex（R.E.N.A.L. score ≥10）renal hilar tumors. Preoperative three-dimensional visualization reconstruction technology helps to reduce RAPN operation time，renal artery occlusion time and intraoperative blood loss，and has good clinical application value.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the modified medial gastrocnemius myocutaneous flap (MGMF) with extended anterior, posterior and (or) inferior boundaries.Methods:From January 2002 to September 2022, modified MGMFs were applied onto 33 patients who received reconstructive surgery for soft-tissue defects around knee or in calf, in the Department of Orthopaedics, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The size of defects ranged from 10 cm×4 cm to 22 cm×12 cm, and the flap size ranged from 15 cm×6 cm to 28 cm×14 cm. Twenty-five patients had the complication of chronic osteomyelitis. The boundaries of a modified MGMF were as follows: the anterior boundary was the anterior border of the tibia, where the posterior boundary at 3.0 cm lateral to the posterior midline, the proximal boundary at the popliteal fossa crease, and the distal boundary at the plane 2.0 cm above the tip of medial malleolus. The anterior edge of the modified MGMF was designed running along the medial edge of the defect and its curved extension line. Pretibial skin was equally divided into 9 zones, with the 1st to 9th zones from proximal to distal in sequence. Postoperative routine anti-infection treatment was offered. All patients were included in the postoperative follow-up through outpatient visits, telephone or WeChat interviews. Flap viability and wound healing in both donor and recipient sites were evaluated. Function of the affected limb was assessed using the evaluation criteria established by Punor et al.Results:All patients were included in the follow-up for 1 to 169 (median duration: 9)months. The 33 modified MGMFs included MGMFs with extended boundary of anterior ( n=18), inferior ( n=5), anterior combined with inferior ( n=6), posterior combined with anterior ( n=2), and posterior combined with inferior ( n=2) boundaries. Twenty-nine (87.9%) flaps survived completely. Partial necrosis occurred in 4 flaps(12.1%)(2 flaps with extended anterior boundary and 2 flaps with extended inferior boundary). The anterior margins of 26 flaps (78.7%) with extended anterior boundary alone or in combination with extended inferior or posterior boundary exceeded the medial edge of the tibia by 1.0-4.5 (mean, 2.1) cm, and 3 of them reached the anterior edge of tibia. Fourteen (42.4%) modified MGMFs were used to reconstruct the defects involving 1/3 of distal calf, and the distal ends of these defects were located in the 7th ( n=8) or 8th ( n= 6) zone. All the skin grafts in the donor sites survived. During follow-up, 31 patients (93.9%) showed no sign of infection, and 2 patients (6.1%) who had recurrence of chronic osteomyelitis. Functions of the affected limbs were excellent ( n=25), good ( n=6) and fair ( n=2) by Punor et al. Conclusion:Modified MGMF with extended anterior, posterior and (or) inferior boundaries is clinically feasible. It offers advantages of easier design and operation. It can be used to reconstruct a more distal, wider and larger defect as well as broadens the application of the MGMF.

Neonatal sepsis is a global health problem that seriously affects the body health and life safety of newborns. It has a higher incidence in preterm infants,especially for early-onset sepsis (EOS) within 72 hours of birth. The diagnosis of neonatal EOS requires a series of examinations,and early and accurate diagnosis can improve clinical outcomes and reduce antibiotic overuse in a timely manner. At present,the commonly used biomarkers and traditional blood culture methods for EOS diagnosis have certain shortcomings,so it is urgent to find new molecular diagnostic methods. This article summarizes and compares the early and novel diagnostic methods of neonatal EOS,in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.

Objective To explore the relationship between the head injury criterion(HIC)values in anterior-posterior(AP)collisions and lateral-medial(LM)collisions.Methods A total of 102 male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group of 0 m(6 rats),4 AP groups(12 rats/group)and 4 LM groups(12 rats/group).After adaptive training,the classical Marmarou model was used to execute the brain AP and LM collisions under a series of different height impacts,and the HIC values were calculated.The experimental group data of the walk-pole test and grip strength test were collected at 24 hours before and after injury,and the data of the proportion of hemorrhage in the corpus callosum and pyramidal tracts were collected at 24 hours after injury.Results As the collision heights increased in both AP and LM groups,there were positive correlations with changes in WP test time and peak GS,and corresponding increases in the proportion of hemorrhage in the cc and py.According to the mathematical relationships between the comprehensive injury degrees and HIC values,it was found that at the same injury degree,LM-HIC value was less than AP-HIC value.A mathematical relationship between AP-HIC and LM-HIC was fitted based on the comprehensive injury degrees.At the same HIC,LM group experienced more severe injuries,and AP group was more tolerant to head collision.Conclusion The injury severity in LM group is greater than that of AP group at the same HIC.Preliminary results show there is a linear mathematical relationship between AP-HIC and LM-HIC.These results can be expected to expand the application scope of HIC and achieve an accurate assessment of the LM collision severity.
