Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their diagnostic efficacy of perioperative lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 155 polytrauma patients with predominant severe trauma who were admitted to Wuxi Ninth People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024, including 64 males and 91 females, aged 13-95 years [(52.1±16.9)years]. Abbreviated injury scale (AIS) was 5-15 points [(7.4±2.1)points] and injury severity score (ISS) was 17-59 points [(21.3±6.5)points]. Based on the occurrence of DVT in the perioperative period, the patients were divided into preoperative DVT group with 17 patients (11.0%) and non-preoperative DVT group with 138 patients (89.0%) as well as postoperative DVT group with 24 patients (15.5%) and non-postoperative DVT group with 131 patients (84.5%). Basic clinical data were collected, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), hemoglobin level (Hb), platelet count (PLT), D-dimer, ISS, trauma site [cranial and brain trauma, thoracic and abdominal trauma, upper limb trauma, lower limb trauma (femoral fracture, patellar fracture, tibial or fibular fracture, foot fracture, vascular injury), and pelvic fracture], preoperative waiting time for surgery, surgical site (pelvis and lower limb, other areas), surgical protocols (pelvic and lower limb internal fixation, external fixation of lower limb, lower limb amputation), operation duration less or more than 2 hours, amount of intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion requirement, venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis (pharmacological and mechanical modalities) and length of hospital stay. Univariate analysis and multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis were conducted to investigate the correlation between the aforementioned indicators and incidence of perioperative lower limb DVT in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma and determine the independent risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) of the relevant risk factors were analyzed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic efficacy of the risk factors for perioperative lower limb DVT in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma.Results:Univariate analysis results showed that age, history of hypertension, D-dimer, thoracic and abdominal trauma, pelvic fracture, preoperative waiting time for surgery, and length of hospital stay were significantly correlated with preoperative of DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.00, 1.10, P<0.05), pelvic fracture ( OR=5.03, 95% CI 1.09, 23.20, P<0.05), preoperative waiting time for surgery ( OR=1.10, 95% CI 1.00, 1.22, P<0.05) and length of hospital stay ( OR=0.89,95% CI 0.81,0.98, P<0.05) were highly correlated with preoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis results showed that age, D-dimer, ISS, foot fracture, and length of hospital stay were significantly correlated with postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.01, 1.08, P<0.01), D-dimer ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.00, 1.10, P<0.05), ISS ( OR=1.09, 95% CI 1.01, 1.17, P<0.05), and foot fracture ( OR=3.51 , 95% CI 1.25 , 9.87 , P<0.05) were significantly correlated with postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of the ROC curve analysis indicated that preoperative waiting time for surgery (AUC=0.83, 95% CI 0.75, 0.91) had the highest diagnostic efficacy for preoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients, with the diagnostic efficacies of pelvic fracture (AUC=0.75, 95% CI 0.65, 0.85) and age (AUC=0.70, 95% CI 0.59, 0.82) decreasing successively. For postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients, D-dimer (AUC=0.71, 95% CI 0.61, 0.81) exhibited the highest diagnostic efficacy, followed by age (AUC=0.70, 95% CI 0.59, 0.81), ISS (AUC=0.64, 95% CI 0.51, 0.76) and foot fracture (AUC=0.62, 95% CI 0.49, 0.74), with diagnostic efficacy decreased successively. Conclusions:For polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma, age, pelvic fracture and preoperative waiting time for surgery are independent risk factors for preoperative DVT, while age, D-dimer, ISS and foot fracture are independent risk factors for postoperative DVT. Additionally, preoperative waiting time for surgery has the best diagnostic efficacy for preoperative DVT, followed by pelvic fracture and age. D-dimer has the best diagnostic efficacy for postoperative DVT, followed by age, ISS and foot fracture.

ObjectiveTo predict the potential nephrotoxic components in traditional Chinese medicine health food products based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Toxicity Alert System and Basic Toxicology Database （TCMTAS-BTD）， screen and validate the predicted components by cell and animal experiments， and decipher the mechanism of nephrotoxicity by network pharmacology. MethodTCMTAS-BTD was utilized to predict the toxicity of 3 540 compounds found in the catalogue of traditional Chinese health food ingredients. In the cell experiment， the top 5 compounds with high toxicity probability were screened by measurement of cell proliferation and viability （CCK-8） and high-content screening. ICR mice were randomized into a control group， a low-dose （2.91 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） ecliptasaponin A， and a high-dose （29.1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） ecliptasaponin A group， with 10 mice in each group， and treated continuously for 28 days. During the experiment， the general conditions of the rats were observed， and the kidney index was calculated. The levels of serum creatinine （SCr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN） in the serum as well as the content of malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） in the renal tissue were measured. The pathological changes of the kidney were observed. Network pharmacology was employed to predict the potential pathways of nephrotoxicity. Finally， the pathway-associated proteins were validated by Western blot. ResultThe top 5 compounds with high probability of nephrotoxicity were ecliptasaponin A， chrysophanol， rutaecarpine， tanshinoneⅠ， and geniposidic acid. In the cell experiment， CCK-8 results showed that 10 μmol·L^-1 ecliptasaponin A， 60 μmol·L^-1 chrysophanol， 40 μmol·L^-1 rutaecarpine， and 20 μmol·L^-1 tanshinone I altered the viability of HK-2 cells. High-content analysis showed that 10 μmol·L^-1 ecliptasaponin A， chrysophanol， rutaecarpine， and tanshinone Ⅰ reduced the cell number （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The animal experiment showed that the mice in the high-dose ecliptasaponin A group presented slow movement， slow weight gain （P<0.01）， increased kidney index （P<0.01）， elevated SCr， BUN， and MDA levels （P<0.01）， and lowered SOD level （P<0.01）. Mild histopathological changes were observed in the high-dose ecliptasaponin A group. The network pharmacology results showed that the key targets of nephrotoxicity induced by ecliptasaponin A were mainly enriched in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway， prostatic cancer and lipid and atherosclerosis pathways. Western blot results verified that high dose of ecliptasaponin A raised the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt （P<0.01）. ConclusionOn day 28 of administration， 29.1 mg·kg^-1 ecliptasaponin A was found to induce renal injury in rats. The mechanism may be related with the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， which implied that excessive and prolonged usage of Ecliptae Herba may increase the incidence of adverse drug reactions.

Objective To explore the influencing factors for Hook-wire precise positioning under CT guidance, determine the best positioning management strategy, and develop Nomogram prediction model. Methods Patients who underwent CT-guided Hook-wire puncture positioning in our hospital from July 2018 to November 2022 were selected. They were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set with a ratio of 7 : 3. Clinical data of the patients were analyzed, and the logistic analysis was used to screen out the risk factors that affected CT-guided Hook-wire precise positioning for the training set. The Nomogram prediction model was constructed according to the risk factors, and the goodness of fit test and clinical decision curve analysis were performed. Results A total of 199 patients with CT-guided Hook-wire puncture were included in this study, including 72 males and 127 females, aged 25-83 years. There were 139 patients in the training set and 60 patients in the validation set. In the training set, 70 patients were accurately located, with an incidence of 50.36%. Logistic regression analysis showed that height [OR=3.46, 95%CI (1.44, 8.35), P=0.006], locating needle perpendicular to the horizontal plane [OR=3.40, 95%CI (1.37, 8.43), P=0.008], locating needle perpendicular to the tangent line of skin surface [OR=6.01, 95%CI (2.38, 15.20), P＜0.001], CT scanning times [OR=3.03, 95%CI (1.25, 7.33), P=0.014], occlusion [OR=10.56, 95%CI (1.98, 56.48), P=0.006] were independent risk factors for CT-guided Hook-wire precise localization. The verification results of the Nomogram prediction model based on these independent risk factors showed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.843 [95%CI (0.776, 0.910)], and the predicted value of the correction curve was basically consistent with the measured value. The AUC of the model in the validation set was 0.854 [95%CI (0.759, 0.950)]. The decision curves showed that when the threshold probability was within the range of 8%-85% in the training set and 18%-99% in the validation set, there was a high net benefit value. Conclusion Height, the locating needle perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the locating needle perpendicular to the tangent line of skin surface, number of CT scans, and occlusion are independent risk factors for CT-guided Hook-wire accurate localization. The Nomogram model established based on the above risk factors can accurately assess and quantify the risk of CT-guided Hook-wire accurate localization.

Objective To examine the application effectiveness of dual 8F ultrafine pigtail drainage tubes versus a single 28F large-bore chest tube in single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy. Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy within our medical group from January 2020 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were categorized into two groups based on postoperative drainage methods: a dual 8F ultrafine pigtail tubes group and a single 28F large-bore chest tube group. Comparative analysis was performed on perioperative data for the two groups of patients. Results The dual 8F ultrafine pigtail tubes group comprised of 68 patients, with 41 females and 27 males, and an average age of (54.72±13.34) years, while the single 28F large-bore chest tube group comprised of 80 patients, with 40 females and 40 males, and an average age of (57.60±11.04) years. There were statistical differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative drainage volume on day 1, day 2, and day 3, total postoperative drainage volume, postoperative tube placement time, postoperative pain score at 48 hours, maximum postoperative pain score, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications related to drainage tubes, and emergency use of pain-relieving medication after surgery (P＜0.05). Conclusion After single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy, the application of dual ultrafine 8F pigtail drainage tubes can lead to a reduction in postoperative drainage volume and shorten the duration of postoperative drainage tube placement and hospital stay, thereby decreasing postoperative pain and the frequency of emergency pain-relieving medication. Moreover, it lowers the incidence of drainage tube-related complications. In alignment with current enhanced recovery after surgery principles, this approach is advantageous for postoperative recovery.

Transradial approach is the classical access for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). With the increase in the number of interventional procedures, some disadvantages of the transradial approach have also been found, it is easy to lead to various complications, such as radial artery occlusion, radial nerve injury, and puncture difficulties after radial artery spasm. Therefore, some experts put forward the approach of distal radial artery approach for interventional therapy, which has the advantages of convenient positioning, easy postoperative hemostasis, less damage to the proximal radial artery and improving patients' comfort. However, there is no special distal radial artery hemostat in clinic, which limits the development of this approach to a certain extent. Therefore, based on the principles of anatomy and physics, cardiovascular physician at Jiading District District Central Hospital in Shanghai designed and invented a distal radial artery hemostatic device, which is convenient for clinical hemostasis of distal radial artery puncture, and obtained the National Utility Model Patent (patent number: ZL 2021 2 2097829.6). The hemostatic device consists of a glove body with a silicone gasket protruding towards the skin on the inner surface and a binding component. The patient's hand is inserted into the glove body, and after being fixed by the restraint component, the silicone gasket can effectively compress the location of the radial artery puncture point, and play a good hemostatic effect with less pressure, avoid the common complications of proximal radial artery hemostatic, and reduce the discomfort of the patient. Has good application value.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose computed tomography(LDCT)and advancements in computed tomography image resolution,the detection rate of pulmonary nodules,especially smaller ones,has significantly improved.The risk of developing malignant tumors increases with the pulmonary nodule diameter.Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS)stands out as the preferred surgical method.The accurate localization of pulmonary nodules is crucial for the success of VATS and remains a significant challenge for thoracic surgeons.Currently,commonly employed localization methods include CT-guided percutaneous positioning,bronchoscope-guided positioning,intraoperative ultrasound positioning,augmented reality(AR),and 3D print-assisted positioning.This review explores recent research progress,highlights the strengths and weaknesses of various pulmonary nodule localization methods.The aim is to provide valuable insights for clinical applications and guide future developments in this field.

Brain size abnormality is correlated with an increased frequency of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in offspring. Genetic analysis indicates that heterozygous mutations of the WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) are associated with ASD. However, biological evidence is still lacking. Our study showed that Wdr62 knockout (KO) led to reduced brain size with impaired learning and memory, as well as ASD-like behaviors in mice. Interestingly, Wdr62 Nex-cKO mice (depletion of WDR62 in differentiated neurons) had a largely normal brain size but with aberrant social interactions and repetitive behaviors. WDR62 regulated dendritic spinogenesis and excitatory synaptic transmission in cortical pyramidal neurons. Finally, we revealed that retinoic acid gavages significantly alleviated ASD-like behaviors in mice with WDR62 haploinsufficiency, probably by complementing the expression of ASD and synapse-related genes. Our findings provide a new perspective on the relationship between the microcephaly gene WDR62 and ASD etiology that will benefit clinical diagnosis and intervention of ASD.

【Objective】 To investigate the characteristics of HBV serological markers of NAT reactive blood donors under different HBsAg status. 【Methods】 NAT reactive samples, with HBsAg-, HBsAg+ /retest - and HBsAg+ by single reagent were collected from September 2021 to May 2022 in our laboratory. The TMA non-reactive samples were retested by Roche PCR, then HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc were detected by ECLI for statistical analysis. 【Results】 A total of 66 samples were collected, among which 55 were HBsAg-/NAT+. The positive rate of anti-HBc, anti-HBs+ anti-HBc, anti-HBe+ anti-HBc was 87.3% (48/55), 43.6% (24/55) and 45.5% (25/55), respectively. The positive rate of anti-HBs was 10.9% (6/55) and the overall negative rate was 1.8% (1/55). In 7 HBsAg+ initially/retest -/NAT+ samples, the positive rate of anti-HBc was 100%(7/7), and the positive rate of anti-HBe+ anti-HBc was 71.4%(5/7). In 4 HBsAg+ /NAT+ samples by single reagent, the positive rate of HBsAg+ anti-HBs+ anti-HBe+ anti-HBc was 50% (2/4), and positive rate of anti-HBe+ anti-HBc was100% (4/4). Samples, not reactive to TMA discriminatory and anti-HBc negative, were also non-reactive to individual PCR retest. There were significant differences in the positive rates of anti-HBe+ anti-HBc between HBsAg-/NAT+ samples and HBsAg+ /NAT+ (single reagent) samples (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Most HBsAg-/NAT+ blood donors were occult hepatitis B virus infection.The anti-HBe+ anti-HBc positive were correlated with HBV infection status. Non-reactivity discriminated by TMA plus anti-HBc negative do not exclude HBV DNA non-reactivity.

Molecular knowledge of human gastric corpus epithelium remains incomplete. Here, by integrated analyses using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) techniques, we uncovered the spatially resolved expression landscape and gene-regulatory network of human gastric corpus epithelium. Specifically, we identified a stem/progenitor cell population in the isthmus of human gastric corpus, where EGF and WNT signaling pathways were activated. Meanwhile, LGR4, but not LGR5, was responsible for the activation of WNT signaling pathway. Importantly, FABP5 and NME1 were identified and validated as crucial for both normal gastric stem/progenitor cells and gastric cancer cells. Finally, we explored the epigenetic regulation of critical genes for gastric corpus epithelium at chromatin state level, and identified several important cell-type-specific transcription factors. In summary, our work provides novel insights to systematically understand the cellular diversity and homeostasis of human gastric corpus epithelium in vivo.
