Objective To investigate the influence of preoperative blood lipid levels on postoperative recovery in patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture(AATR).Methods The clinical data of 353 AATR patients treated in Department of Orthopaedics Trauma of our hospital from Jan.2021 to Jan.2024 were retrospectively analyzed,including general clinical information and preoperative fasting blood biochemistry indices.Patients'Achilles tendon total rupture score(ATRS)and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle-hindfoot score were recorded 6 months postoperatively.Postoperative recovery was categorized as favorable if ATRS≥80 and poor if ATRS＜80;similarly,recovery was considered favorable if AOFAS score≥90 and poor if AOFAS score＜90.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to investigate the influencing factors of patients'postoperative recovery.Results When categorized by ATRS,patients in the favorable postoperative recovery group exhibited significantly lower serum levels of triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),and low-density lipoprotein(LDL)compared to the poor postoperative recovery group(all P＜0.05).Similarly,when categorized by AOFAS score,the favorable postoperative recovery group had lower serum TG and TC levels than the poor postoperative recovery group(both P＜0.05).Univariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that in the ATRS grouping,elevated serum levels of TG,TC and LDL were significantly associated with an increased risk of poor postoperative recovery in AATR patients(all P＜0.05).Similarly,in the AOFAS score grouping,elevated serum levels of TG and TC were significantly correlated with an increased risk of poor postoperative recovery in AATR patients(both P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis further identified that high serum LDL level was an independent predictor of poor postoperative recovery in AATR patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion High preoperative serum LDL level is associated with an increased risk of poor postoperative recovery in AATR patients.Therefore,preoperative blood lipid management in AATR patients may have positive effects on postoperative functional recovery.

Objective: To analyze the prognostic value of CD7 expression in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and to further explore the correlation between CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation, and to clarify the prognostic value of CD7⁺ in AML patients with wild-type (WT) or mutant-type (MT) CEBPA. Methods: The clinical data of 298 newly diagnosed non-M₃ AML patients between January 2010 and December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of CD7⁺ and CD7^- patients were respectively compared in all patients, and in patients with WT and MT CEBPA. The relationship between CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation was determined by chi-square, and the effects of CEBPA mutation on survival and prognosis in CD7⁺ group by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: In CD7⁺ group, the frequencies of CEBPA mutation were 10.1% (single site) and 33.9% (double site) , significantly higher than those of the CD7^- group (5.3% and 4.2%) (P=0.000) . Subgroup prognostic analysis showed a lower CR rate (P=0.001) and a higher RR (P=0.023) in CD7⁺ group comparing to those of CD7^- group in AML patients with wild type CEBPA. There were no statistical difference between CD7⁺ group and CD7^- group in overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (P>0.05) , while in the CEBPA mutant group the CD7⁺ group has higher OS (P=0.019) and DFS (P=0.010) . Based on the CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation, 298 cases were divided into 3 subgroups, named as CD7⁺-CEBPA MT group, CD7^- and CD7⁺-CEBPA WT group. The 3-year OS of the 3 groups were 80.2%, 48.0% and 30.6%, respectively (P<0.001) , and the 3-year DFS were 74.1%, 37.4% and 22.2%, respectively (P<0.001) . Conclusion The CEBPA mutation rate was higher in CD7⁺ AML patients then that of CD7^- patients. CD7 expression has opposite prognostic significance in AML patients carrying the wild-type or mutant-type CEBPA. Based on CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation, a new risk stratification model can be established, which is helpful to guide the clinical individualized treatment for AML patients.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic significance of high sensitivity-C reactive protein (Hs-CRP) in patients with peripher-al T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Methods:A total of 234 newly diagnosed PTCL patients with a median age of 48 years were analyzed retro-spectively. Serum Hs-CRP levels and other factors, including tumor stage and international prognostic index (IPI), were determined. Af-ter a median follow-up of 23 months, the relationship between Hs-CRP and overall survival (OS) was observed. Results:Serum Hs-CRP level positively correlated with IPI score (r=0.132, P<0.001), tumor stage (r=0.183, P=0.005), B symptoms (r=0.225, P=0.001), and lactic dehydrogenase (r=0.169, P=0.009), but negatively correlated with plasma albumin levels (r=?0.343, P<0.001), hemoglobin concentra-tion (r=?0.239, P<0.001), and platelet count (r=0.131, P=0.045), and is uncorrelated with age (P>0.05), gender (P>0.05), fitness score (P>0.05), and leukocyte count (P>0.05). Patients with serum Hs-CRP levels≤10 mg/L had better OS than patients with serum Hs-CRP levels>10 mg/L. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models showed that platelet count, Hs-CRP, albumin levels, and IPI score were independent adverse prognostic factors. Conclusion:The baseline Hs-CRP level can serve as a major indicator of prognosis in PT-CL patients.
