Objective To analyze the main causes and risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 242 liver transplant recipients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether unplanned reoperation was performed during the same hospitalization after surgery, the recipients were divided into the reoperation group (n=36) and the non-reoperation group (n=206). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the two groups, as well as donor and graft-related data, were compared to analyze the risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation and the survival status of the two groups. Results Among the 242 liver transplant recipients, 36 underwent unplanned reoperations, with a total of 54 procedures including various laparotomies, endoscopic and interventional surgeries, among which there were 20 laparotomies, 18 endoscopic surgeries and 16 interventional surgeries. The most common cause of unplanned reoperation was biliary complications (20 times), followed by vascular complications (17 times). Compared with the non-reoperation group, the reoperation group had longer graft cold ischemia time, higher postoperative fatality rate of recipients, longer length of stay in the intensive care unit and postoperative hospital stay, and higher total hospitalization costs (all P<0.05). The incidence of unplanned reoperation was higher in recipients who underwent split liver transplantation (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 mL, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation were independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation (all P<0.05). The postoperative 7-day, 1-month, 3-month and 6-month survival rates of recipients in the reoperation group and the non-reoperation group were 100% vs. 98.1%, 88.9% vs. 94.2%, 69.4% vs. 90.8% and 66.7% vs. 90.8%, respectively, and the postoperative survival rate of recipients in the reoperation group was lower than that in the non-reoperation group (P<0.05). Conclusions The main causes of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation are biliary complications, vascular complications, abdominal incision infection and intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Intraoperative massive blood loss, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation are the risk factors associated with unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation.

The disease-syndrome combination model of spleen deficiency with dampness pattern in ulcerative colitis（SDDP-UC） is an important experimental carrier for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） research on the prevention and treatment of ulcerative colitis （UC）， and the quality of model construction and evaluation directly influences the scientific rigor and translational value of related research conclusions. However， this field still lacks methodological synthesis and a standardized consensus. Based on a comprehensive review of existing literature， this paper summarized isomorphic cues between the spleen deficiency with dampness pattern and UC across four dimensions， including energy metabolism， immune homeostasis， mucosal barrier， and intestinal microecology. The cues were mainly involved in impaired mitochondrial energy supply and glucose metabolic reprogramming， a lowered pro-inflammatory threshold of innate immunity with insufficient adaptive immune regulation， disruption of epithelial barrier gating accompanied by compromised repair capacity， and attenuation of the luminal hypoxia barrier with accumulation of toxic metabolites. A mutually reinforcing process between local "form damage" and systemic "Qi depletion" was further interpreted from a holistic perspective. Regarding modeling strategies， existing studies predominantly use rats as the carrier， apply combined interventions such as improper diet， external damp exposure， and fatigue-related dysregulation to establish the spleen deficiency with dampness pattern background， and subsequently superimpose chemical stimulation to induce UC-like colonic damage， with a total modeling period generally spanning three to four weeks. In terms of the evaluation system， a multidimensional framework integrating syndrome assessment， histopathology， mechanistic indices， and pharmacodynamic counter-verification was outlined. On this basis， current methodological bottlenecks of models were systematically identified， including syndrome drift risk and compounded stress dilemma in temporal sequencing， syndrome confounding from etiological simulation， cross-sectional evaluation bias related to modeling duration， inadequate disease-syndrome linkage and control design within the evaluation system， and limited controls with overly single-track decision logic in formula-based syndrome verification. To address the above issues， a construction and evaluation strategy emphasizing streamlining of core etiological factors， multi-node dynamic monitoring， integration of core disease-syndrome indicator clusters， and establishment of a formula-based syndrome verification system was proposed， providing a reference for the standardized construction and scientific evaluation of the SDDP-UC model.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of postoperative hospital-acquired infections and drug sensitivity in lung transplant recipients over the past 5 years in a single center. Methods A total of 724 lung transplant recipients at Wuxi People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were selected. Based on the principles of hospital-acquired infection diagnosis, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the hospital infection situation and infection sites of lung transplant recipients, and an analysis of the distribution of hospital-acquired infection pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility test status was performed. Results Among the 724 lung transplant recipients, 275 cases of hospital-acquired infection occurred, with an infection rate of 38.0%. The case-time infection rate decreased from 54.2% in 2019 to 22.8% in 2023, showing a downward trend year by year (Z=30.98, P<0.001). The main infection site was the lower respiratory tract, accounting for 73.6%. The pathogens were mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with the top four being Acinetobacter baumannii (37.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.7%), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (13.4%), with imipenem resistance rates of 89%, 53%, 58% and 100%, respectively. Gram-positive bacteria were mainly Staphylococcus aureus (3.6%), with a methicillin resistance rate of 67%. Conclusions Over the past 5 years, the hospital-acquired infections in lung transplant recipients have shown a downward trend, mainly involving lower respiratory tract infections, with the main pathogens being Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, all of which have high resistance rates to imipenem.

Dust and chemical substances are widely present occupational hazards in workplaces. Long-term exposure to dust and chemical substances can pose serious threats to workers′ health. Owing to their advantages in real-time detection, rapid response, and high accuracy, online monitoring technologies enable continuous measurement and analysis of the concentration and composition of dust and chemical substances in workplaces. These technologies provide timely and effective data support for the prevention and control of occupational diseases and have become an important protective tool in the field of occupational hazard. Current online monitoring technologies for workplace dust mainly include the tapered element oscillating microbalance method, light scattering method, β-ray method, triboelectric charging, video exposure monitoring, and ultrasonic methods. Online monitoring devices for workplace chemical substances are still in the early stages of development. However, this equipment has been partially applied in environmental monitoring, covering methods such as spectral analysis, electrochemical sensors, cataluminescence sensors, and intelligent sensing systems. In the future, the development of online dust monitoring technology should focus on overcoming technical bottlenecks to improve detection accuracy and exploring the synergistic effects of different technologies to compensate for the limitations of single methods. Meanwhile, online monitoring technologies for chemical substances should aim to develop integrated detection systems that combine high precision, real-time performance, low cost, and stability.

Function-preserving gastrectomy has been gradually implemented in China. Under the premise of oncologic safety,such surgery is crucial for improving patients′ postoperative quality of life. Although proximal gastrectomy is a classic surgical method for the adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction,no consensus exists on the vagus nerve preservation and digestive tract reconstruction. How to preserve the vagus nerve and pyloric function, and avoid postoperative gastroesophageal reflux after proximal gastrectomy has consistently been the focus of clinical research on proximal gastrectomy. This study introduces the application of laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with nerve vagus preservation combined with double-flap anastomosis in proximal early gastric cancer. The hepatic branches and the celiac branches are both preserved during the surgical procedure,and the manufacture of double-flap is completed through auxiliary incisions. The anastomosis of the esophagus and the remnant stomach is performed under laparoscopy. It conforms to the physiological structure and preserved the functions of the stomach,which avoided weight loss and nutritional absorption disorder after total gastrectomy. Additionally, it reduces the incidence of reflux esophagitis following traditional esophagogastrostomy, thereby improving patients′ postoperative quality of life.

BACKGROUND:In most species,a bone defect that is longer than 1.5 or 2 times its diameter can be considered a critical bone defect,and when the bone defect volume reaches the critical value,it cannot heal on its own.Currently,there is no uniform standard for the size of critical-sized defects in the osteoporotic femoral condyle of rabbits.OBJECTIVE:To establish a rabbit model with different sizes of bone defects in the osteoporotic femoral condyle and to determine the critical-sized defects of osteoporotic femoral condyle in rabbits.METHODS:Thirty-six 3-month-old female New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into ovariectomy group(n=30)and sham operation group(n=6).Rabbits in the ovariectomy group underwent bilateral ovariectomy to establish an osteoporosis model,and then femoral condyle bone defect models of different diameters(diameters were 4,5,6,and 7 mm,and depths were 8 mm)were further established;rabbits in the sham operation group did not undergo ovariectomy.At 8 and 12 weeks after modeling,3 rats were randomly selected from each group for CT scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction to evaluate the healing of bone defects.Afterwards,samples were taken for gross observation and hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe the growth of new bone in the femoral condyle bone defect area.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All rabbits survived and moved well after modeling of osteoporosis and femoral condyle bone defect.(2)At 12 weeks after osteoporosis modeling,dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry results showed that the bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae in ovariectomy group was significantly lower than that in sham operation group(P＜0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the bone trabeculae in the ovariectomy group became thinner and sparse.The proportion of bone tissue area in the ovariectomy group was significantly lower than that in the sham operation group(P=0.00).Micro-CT results showed that the bone tissue parameters of the femoral condyle in the ovariectomy group were significantly different from those in the sham operation group(P＜0.05),and the ovariectomy group showed obvious characteristics of osteoporosis.(3)CT showed that the bone defect in the 4 mm and 5 mm diameter groups was basically completely repaired at 12 weeks after surgery.There was more new bone tissue in the 6 mm diameter group,but the central part of the bone defect was not completely repaired.A small amount of new bone tissue grew in the 7 mm diameter group,and the bone defect was obvious.(4)Gross observation at 12 weeks after surgery showed that the femoral condyle bone defect in the 4 mm and 5 mm diameter groups was completely repaired.Obvious depression was seen in the bone defect area of the 6 mm and 7 mm diameter groups,and the bone defect was not completely repaired.(5)Histological observation at 12 weeks after surgery showed that the bone defect area of the 4 mm and 5 mm diameter groups was completely filled with new bone,and the trabecular structure was irregular;while there were new trabeculae in the periphery of the 6 mm and 7 mm diameter groups,and the bone defect in the central area was still obvious.(6)The results showed that during the 12-week experimental observation period of osteoporotic femoral condyle defects in rabbits,under the condition of the same defect depth of 8 mm,femoral condyle defects with a diameter ≥ 6 mm could not heal on their own,while femoral condyle defects with a diameter＜6 mm were completely repaired.A diameter of 6 mm and a depth of 8 mm can be used as the critical bone defect value of osteoporotic femoral condyle in rabbits.

Objective: To analyze the monitoring results of key occupational hazard factors in workplaces across different industries in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture (Aba Prefecture), Sichuan Province, so as to provide the basis for optimizing occupational disease prevention and control measures. Methods: Data of key occupational hazard factors in workplaces in Aba Prefecture from 2022 to 2024 were collected through the Workplace Occupational Hazard Monitoring System. Descriptive analyses were conducted on the over-standard rates of occupational hazard factors, completion rates of occupational health examinations, and participation rates in occupational health training. Results: From 2022 to 2024, 165 enterprise-times in Aba Prefecture were monitored, with 112 enterprise-times exceeding the standards, the over-standard rate of enterprises was 67.88%. A total of 1 005 worksite positions were monitored, with 302 exceeding the standards, the over-standard rate of worksite positions was 30.05%. The over-standard rates of enterprises and worksite positions showed upward trends from 2022 to 2024 (both P<0.05). The over-standard rates of enterprises in the ferrous metal mining and dressing industry and non-ferrous metal mining and dressing industry were both 100%. The top three over-standard rates of worksite positions were in the non-metallic mining and dressing industry, ferrous metal mining and dressing industry, and non-ferrous metal mining and dressing industry, at 62.50%, 56.00%, and 53.13%, respectively. Worksite positions exposed to silica dust, noise, and coal dust had relatively high over-standard rates, at 17.00%, 10.04%, and 7.27%, respectively. The actual numbers of physical examinations for personnel at worksite positions with dust, chemical factors, and physical factors were 9 398, 2 469, and 10 928 person-times, respectively, with completion rates of 95.78%, 81.03%, and 100.00%, respectively. The actual number of re-examinations were 428, 129, and 1 121 person-times, respectively, with re-examination rates of 64.26%, 27.27%, and 81.53%, respectively. Among the monitored enterprises, 102 enterprise-times participated in training for persons in charge, with a participation rate of 61.82%; 108 enterprise-times participated in training for occupational health management personnel, with a participation rate of 65.45%; and 10 489 person-times of workers exposed to hazards participated in occupational health training for workers, with a participation rate of 86.24%. Conclusions The over-standard rate of key occupational hazards factors in workplaces in Aba Prefecture was relatively high. The completion rate of occupational health examinations was good, but the re-examination rate was low. It is recommended to focus on strengthening the prevention and control of occupational hazard factors in the mining and dressing industry and promoting the effective implementation of occupational health examinations and occupational health training.

Sigmoid sinus thrombophlebitis(SST) as a severe complication of otogenic infections in children, its early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving prognosis. This study reports three cases (aged 2 years, 9 months to 4 years) of otogenic SST in children diagnosed by imaging, all secondary to acute otitis media. The clinical features mainly included recurrent high fever, ear pain, and postauricular swelling, with one case complicated by abducens nerve palsy and otorrhea. Imaging characteristics revealed: HRCT of the temporal bone showed destruction of the anterior wall of the sigmoid sinus; characteristic MRI findings of the ear included high T2WI signal in the sigmoid sinus area, ring enhancement post-contrast, and restricted diffusion on DWI; MRV of the ear clearly displayed the extent of venous sinus thrombosis. Treatment involved a comprehensive approach of surgical drainage combined with sensitive antibiotics and anticoagulant therapy, and all children achieved clinical cure. Through literature review, it was found that SST in children has an insidious onset, and high vigilance is required when otogenic infection patients present with the "otitis media triad" (fever, ear pain, headache) accompanied by neurological symptoms. Imaging examination is crucial for early diagnosis, and standardized treatment (clearance of infection foci and adequate course of anti-infection and anticoagulation) can significantly improve prognosis, providing a reference for the clinical management of SST in children.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.
