Objective To propose a high-precision deep learning-based image assessment method of osteosarcoma chemotherapy efficacy for clinical treatment,as existing methos have low accuracy of osteosarcoma assessment.Methods The low incidence of osteosarcoma led to the small scale of its imaging data and the problem of imbalance in data categories.This study combined deep learning with clinical medical information,combined the bone sarcoma generation module of BoneGAN and the scale lesion information capture module,and proposed OMLA-Net,a deep learning assessment network for chemotherapy effect of bone sarcoma based on multi-scale lesion attention network,which achieved computer-aided bone tumor assessment with integrated data augmentation and focused lesion information through pre-training and generalized loss training.Results In this study,40 cases of osteosarcoma MRI data were used as the basis for the comparison test on the generated dataset,and the OMLA-Net assessment outperformed the SOTA method Conv-LSTM-GAN in terms of the assessment effects such as accuracy and F1 scores,and the difference was statistically significant(Bootstrap statistical method P＜0.05);the subsequent K-fold cross-validation ablation experiments further demonstrated the effectiveness of each module proposed by OMLA-Net.Conclusion OMLA-Net can effectively perform the impact assessment of chemotherapy effect on osteosarcoma,which provides a new idea for subsequent clinical application.

Objective To assess the clinical value of a novel surgical technique—Tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with percutaneous suspension technique via balance-shaped sternal elevation device in the resection of anterior mediastinal masses. Methods Patients who underwent tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery via balance-shaped sternal elevation device in anterior mediastinal masses process at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from March to April 2025 were included, and their clinical data were analyzed. Results A total of 4 patients were included, with 2 males and 2 females, aged 58-75 years. The diameter of the tumor was 2.5-3.0 cm. The operation time was 60.0-150.0 min, intraoperative blood loss was 5-10 mL, pain score on the 3rd day after surgery was 0 points, and postoperative hospital stay was 2-3 days. All patients achieved complete resection of the masses and thymus without perioperative complications. Conclusion The tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with percutaneous suspension technique via balance-shaped sternal elevation device technique optimizes surgical visualization and instrument maneuverability while avoiding complications related to conventional anesthesia and tubing, thereby markedly enhancing the minimally invasive profile of anterior mediastinal masses resections. In addition to maintaining procedural safety, this approach effectively reduces postoperative pain and accelerates patient recovery, highlighting its potential for widespread clinical adoption.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified high tibial osteotomy combined with platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: From January 2021 to March 2022, the clinical data of 60 patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were analyzed. Among them, 30 patients were treated with modified tibia high osteotomy combined with platelet-rich plasma as the observation group, including 12 males and 18 females, aged from 51 to 74 years old, with an average age of (64.37±5.72) years old. The course of disease ranged from 1 to 7 years with an average of(3.43±1.41) years. Thirty patients were treated with modified high tibial osteotomy combined with sodium hyaluronate as control group, including 10 males and 20 females, aged from 50 to 78 years, with an average age of (64.33±8.18) years. The course of disease was 1 to 7 years with an average of(3.30±1.39) years. Knee X-rays were taken before surgery and at the last follow-up, and the changes of lower limb bearing-line ratio (WBLR), proximal medial tibial Angle (MPTA), femoro-tibial angle (FTA) and posterior tibial slope (PTS) were compared between the two times. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Lysholm score were used to evaluate knee pain and functional changes before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: The wounds of all patients healed in stage I after surgery. All 60 patients completed treatment and follow-up, with an average follow-up duration of (8.08±1.75) months, ranged from 6 to 12 months. No serious adverse events or complications occurred. At the last follow-up, WBLR, MPTA and FTA were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no significant difference in PTS between the two groups compared with pre-operation(P>0.05). At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in WBLR, MPTA, FTA and PTS between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). The VAS scores, WOMAC scores and Lysholm scores of both groups were significantly Modified with time after operation (P<0.05). At 1, 3 and 6 months after operation, VAS score, WOMAC score and Lysholm score of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSION For patients with moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis, modified high tibial osteotomy can significantly correct lower limb alignment, and combined with platelet-rich plasma therapy can further significantly relieve knee pain and improve knee function, the effect is better than combined with sodium hyaluronate.

OBJECTIVE: To detect the alleles of 12 blood group systems (Rh, MNS, Duffy, Kidd, Kell, Diego, Dombrock, Yt, Colton, Scianna, Lutheran and Lw) of Dongxiang ethnic group in Gansu province, and understand the characteristics of rare blood group alleles common in Dongxiang ethnic group, in order to provide a basis for safe blood transfusion and the establishment of blood group gene bank. METHODS: The alleles of 12 blood group systems were classified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 100 people from Dongxiang ethnic group in Gansu province, and the differences of gene frequency compared to other areas in China were analyzed. RESULTS: The allele frequencies of Rh, MNS, and Dombrock blood group systems of Dongxiang ethnic group in Gansu province were similar to northern regions. The Duffy blood group system exhibited specificity, with frequencies lower than most southern regions as well as northern regions. There were no significant differences in Kidd, Kell and Diego blood group systems compared to other regions in China. The Lu^a gene frequency of Lutheran blood group system was higher than all regions in China, which might be associated with genetic variation or sample selection and size. Yt, Colton, Scianna and Lw blood group genes showed monomorphic distribution, and the genotypes were Yt^aYt^a, Co^aCo^a, Sc1Sc1 and Lw^aLw^a, respectively. CONCLUSION Rh, MNS, Duffy, Kidd, Kell, Diego, Dombrock and Lutheran blood group systems show polymorphic distribution, while Yt, Colton, Scianna and Lw blood group systems show monomorphic distribution. The distribution of blood group genes among Dongxiang ethnic group in Gansu province has its own specificity.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of venetoclax combined with azacitidine chemotherapy in the treatment of previously untreated adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 48 untreated adult AML patients admitted to the Department of Hematology,Affiliated Hospital of Jinggangshan University from January 2020 to December 2022.Among them,26 patients received venetoclax combined with azacitidine chemotherapy(observation group),and 22 patients received daunorubicin plus cytarabine chemotherapy(control group).The differences in complete response(CR)rate,objective response rate(ORR),progression-free survival(PFS),overall survival(OS)and adverse reactions(AR)were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in age,sex ratio,absolute value of tri-lineage cell and proportion of bone marrow primordial cells between the two groups before treatment(all P＞0.05).The CR rate and the ORR rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,there were no significant difference in the adverse reactions such as myelosuppression,granulocytosis,secondary infection,mucosal damage,liver and kidney damage,cardiotoxicity and gastrointestinal toxicity between the two groups(P＞0.05).The median PFS and the median OS of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The remission rate of venetoclax combined with azacitidine was higher than that of conventional chemotherapy in previously untreated adult acute myeloid leukemia.Venetoclax combined with azacitidine chemotherapy could reduce hematologic related side reactions and prolong the remission period and survival of AML patients.

Aim To observe the effects of Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula(WFJZF)on rats with vascular de-mentia and investigate its possible mechanism of ac-tion.Methods Thirty-six healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group,model group,donepezil group,and low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups of Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula,with six rats per group.Except for the sham group,the other groups were prepared as VaD models,and each group was gavaged with the corresponding drugs after suc-cessful modeling,and tests were performed after three weeks of treatment.Behavioral,hippocampal CA1 area morphology,neural dendrites and mitochondrial chan-ges were observed in all groups of rats,and phospho-glycerate mutase 5(PGAM5),dynamics-related pro-teins1(Drp1),opticatrophyprotein-1(OPA1),and other proteins were detected in each group.Results Compared with the sham group,rats in the model group and each intervention group had prolonged es-cape latency(P＜0.05),a shorter number of travers-als across the platforms(P＜0.05),a sparse morphol-ogy of hippocampal neurons,a reduction in the number of secondary dendritic spines,and a rupture of the out-er membrane of the mitochondria;the expression of the PGAM5 and Drp1 proteins in hippocampal tissues was elevated(P＜0.05),and the expression of the OPA1 and Mfn1/2 protein expression decreased(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,donepezil group and Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula high-dose group of rats had shorter evasion latency(P＜0.05),increased number of times to traverse the platform(P＜0.05),increased number of hippocampal neurons,tightly packed,more secondary dendritic structures,and reduced mitochon-drial damage;the expression of PGAM5 and Drp1 pro-teins was reduced(P＜0.05),and the expression of OPA1 and Mfn1/2 proteins was elevated(P＜0.05).Conclusions Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula can regulate the PGAM5-Drp1 signaling axis to improve the balance of mitochondrial homeostasis,thus improving the cog-nitive condition of the brain and exerting cerebroprotec-tive effects.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.
