Background As common public facilities essential to daily life, hair and beauty salons frequently contain various airborne toxic and hazardous pollutants potentially leading to adverse health effects for salon practitioners. Objective To characterize the indoor air pollution profiles of common contaminants in hair and beauty salons in Shanghai and to evaluate the associated health risks for practitioners, in order to provide a scientific basis for strengthening the public health management in Shanghai and protecting the health of practitioners. Methods The air quality monitoring data of hair and beauty salons in Shanghai from 2016 to 2024 were obtained from the “Health Hazard Factors Monitoring Program for Public Places” of the National Institute of Environmental Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Monitoring indicators included particulate matter ≤10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, toluene, and xylene. Indicator compliance rates were calculated across various years in accordance with GB 9666-1996 Hygienic standard for barber shop and beauty shop and GB 37488-2019 Hygiene indicators and limit for public places; specifically, PM2.5 was assessed against the limits stipulated in GB/T 18883-2022 Standards for indoor air quality. A questionnaire survey was conducted among salon practitioners to collect weekly working days and daily working hours. The non-carcinogenic risks associated with inhalation exposure to formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, toluene, and xylene as well as the carcinogenic risks posed by formaldehyde and benzene were evaluated following WS/T 777-2021 Technical guide for environmental health risk assessment of chemical exposure and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inhalation risk model. Results The overall compliance rates of PM10, formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, and toluene in the air of hair and beauty salons in Shanghai from 2016 to 2024 were 92.13%, 96.59%, 96.15%, 94.93%, and 94.97%, respectively; the overall compliance rate of xylene was a little lower (85.92%), and the overall compliance rate of PM2.5 was 57.18%. The P50 concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, toluene, and xylene did not exceed the corresponding limits. The P50 of non-carcinogenic risk indicator (hazard quotient, HQ) for formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, toluene, and xylene were <1. The probabilities of non-carcinogenic risk HQ >1 for formaldehyde and xylene were 41.4% and 10.9%, respectively, which were higher than that of other pollutants. The P50 of carcinogenic risk (CR) for formaldehyde and benzene were between 1.0×10−6 and 1.0×10−4, while the probabilities of CR >1.0×10−4 were 16.9% and 14.0%, respectively. Conclusion The overall compliance rate of common pollutant concentrations in the air of hair and beauty salons in Shanghai is high, and the hygienic condition meets the requirements of national standards. The non-carcinogenic health risks posed by formaldehyde and xylene to employees (with formaldehyde being more prominent), as well as the carcinogenic risks associated with formaldehyde and benzene, deserve heightened attention in future health supervision.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer, and to provide objective basis for selecting a suitable model. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted on Chinese and English databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library for relevant studies on the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer from inception to April 30, 2023. Two researchers independently screened literatures and extracted data information. PROBAST tool was used to assess the risk of bias and applicability of included literatures. Meta-analysis was performed on the predictive value of common predictors in the model with RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 18 studies were included, including 11 Chinese literatures and 7 English literatures. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction models ranged from 0.68 to 0.954, and the AUC of 10 models was >0.8, indicating that the prediction performance was good, but the risk of bias in the included studies was high, mainly in the field of research design and data analysis. The results of the meta-analysis on common predictors showed that age, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, C-reactive protein, history of preoperative chemotherapy, hypoproteinemia, peripheral vascular disease, pulmonary infection, and calcification of gastric omental vascular branches are effective predictors for the occurrence of anastomotic leakage after radical surgery for esophageal cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion The study on the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer is still in the development stage. Future studies can refer to the common predictors summarized by this study, and select appropriate methods to develop and verify the anastomotic fistula prediction model in combination with clinical practice, so as to provide targeted preventive measures for patients with high-risk anastomotic fistula as soon as possible.

Objective:To develop a deep learning model based on super-resolution endorectal ultrasound(ERUS)images for the preoperative prediction of perineural invasion(PNI)in patients with rectal cancer,thereby providing a reference for risk stratification and individualized treatment planning.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 382 patients with rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between June 2019 and February 2024. Patients were randomly divided into a training set( n=305)and a test set( n=77)at a ratio of 8∶2,and further grouped into PNI-negative group and PNI-positive group subgroups based on pathological results. Super-resolution ultrasound images were generated from original ERUS images using a generative adversarial network(GAN). Deep convolutional neural networks were developed based on features from intratumoral and peritumoral regions to identify the optimal region of interest(ROI). The dSR5_ResNet18 and dSR5_ResNet50 models were constructed using the super-resolution images with a 5-pixel peritumoral extension. Representative clinical features were selected for subgroup analysis based on sample size and intergroup statistical differences between PNI-positive and PNI-negative patients. Forest plots were used to evaluate model applicability and robustness across subgroups. Results:The dSR5_ResNet18 model,built using super-resolution images of the tumor combined with a 5-pixel peritumoral region,achieved the best predictive performance,with an AUC of 0.867(95% CI=0.782 - 0.952)in the test set. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the dSR5_ResNet18 model provided the greatest net clinical benefit. Forest plot analysis indicated strong generalizability of the models across subgroups such as pathological N stage,maximum lesion length,and lymph node enlargement,though relatively weaker performance was observed in the carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)subgroup. Among all models,dSR5_ResNet18 exhibited the most consistent performance across subgroups,with the narrowest confidence intervals and highest robustness. Conclusions:The deep learning model incorporating ERUS-based super-resolution reconstruction demonstrated excellent performance in the preoperative prediction of PNI in rectal cancer. It offers significant advantages in image quality and generalizability,and may serve as a valuable tool to assist clinicians in formulating personalized treatment strategies.

Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of belumosudil for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) .Methods:We retrospectively collected data on patients with cGVHD who received belumosudil at Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from May 2023 to March 2024. The study endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), organ-specific response rates, time to response (TTR), changes in Lee Symptom Scale (LSS) scores, tapering or discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment, failure-free survival (FFS), and adverse events.Results:The study included 20 patients with cGVHD who received belumosudil, of whom 15 were men and 5 women. The median age was 34.5 (12-67) years, and three patients were under 18 years old. The median follow-up duration was 5.0 (1.4 - 9.8) months. All patients had severe cGVHD, and 18 (90.0%) showed involvement of at least four organs. The median number of prior treatment lines was 4, and 15 patients (75%) had previously received ruxolitinib. All patients received 200 mg of belumosudil once daily in combination with other cGVHD systemic therapies. The ORR was 90.0% (95% CI: 68.3%-98.8%), and all responses were partial responses. The median TTR was 1.6 (0.9 - 8.4) months. The LSS scores improved in a clinically meaningful way in 80.0% (16/20) of the patients within 3 months. The corticosteroid dose was reduced in 42.6% (6/14) of the patients. The 3-month FFS was 79.6% (95% CI: 61.4%-100.0%). Most adverse events were grade 1 or grade 2, and two patients (10.0%) experienced grade 3 or higher-grade adverse events. Conclusions:In the real-world setting, belumosudil demonstrated good effectiveness and safety in patients with cGVHD with a history of severe disease and multiorgan involvement.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and traditional Posterior Spinal Fusion (PSF) in treating children with paralytic scoliosis with pelvic obliquity (PSPO) following spinal cord injury.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 25 patients with PSPO who underwent surgical treatment at the Drum Tower Hospital affiliated with Nanjing University Medical School from January 2017 to June 2023. The cohort included 4 males and 21 females, aged 12.3±2.8 years (range 9-14 years). Patients were divided into the MIS group (12 cases) and the PSF group (13 cases). Radiological parameters were measured preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the last follow-up. Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, length of hospital stay, total hospitalization costs, and complications were recorded. The Scoliosis Research Society questionnaires-22 (SRS-22) Chinese version were used to assess patient satisfaction and efficacy.Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the MIS and PSF groups in age, gender, Risser sign, preoperative Cobb angle for scoliosis, pelvic tilt angle, or local kyphosis angle ( P>0.05). The MIS group demonstrated surgical time of 176±30 minutes, intraoperative blood loss of 300±70 ml, blood transfusion volume of 280±175 ml, and total hospitalization costs of 87'800± 13'300 yuan, all of which were lower than PSF group, with values of 280±91 minutes, 1'433±116 ml, 1'351±996 ml, and 14'8400±26'100 yuan, respectively. These differences were statistically significant ( t=3.789, P=0.001; t=29.328, P<0.001; t=3.667, P=0.001; t=7.271, P<0.001). In the MIS group, preoperative, postoperative, and last follow-up Cobb angles were 79.11°±6.74°, 35.86°±4.98°, and 36.27°±4.84° respectively; pelvic tilt angles were 24.79°±5.58°, 9.18°±3.32°, and 8.79°±2.94°; local kyphosis angles were 38.84°±4.18°, 12.96°±4.87°, and 11.43°±6.08°, respectively. Postoperative and last follow-up angles were significantly reduced compared to preoperative values, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). In the PSF group, preoperative, postoperative, and last follow-up Cobb angles were 82.06°±9.26°, 34.75°±5.14°, and 35.15°±5.04° respectively; pelvic tilt angles were 26.60°±6.21°, 10.12°±3.21°, and 9.91°±2.97°; local kyphosis angles were 40.92°±7.04°, 10.92°±7.26°, and 14.02°±5.58°, respectively. Differences from preoperative to postoperative measurements were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, both groups showed no significant loss of scoliosis correction, and there were no statistically significant differences between the groups postoperatively or at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). In the MIS group, one case of superficial surgical site infection and one case of postoperative atelectasis occurred. In the PSF group, two cases of deep surgical site infection, one case of poor screw placement, and two cases were transferred to the ICU postoperatively due to excessive intraoperative bleeding. Preoperative SRS-22 total scores were 2.0±0.6 for PSF and 2.1±0.4 for MIS. Postoperative SRS-22 total scores (excluding satisfaction) were 3.0±0.5 for PSF and 2.9±0.3 for MIS. The within-group differences from preoperative to postoperative were statistically significant ( P<0.05), while the between-group differences from preoperative to postoperative were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared to the PSF technique, MIS can shorten surgery time, reduce intraoperative blood loss and perioperative complications, and decrease hospitalization costs. MIS can achieve similar early clinical efficacy.

This study evaluates the safety and early clinical outcomes of a novel 3D-printed titanium alloy "sleeve" component for revising fractured femoral stem prostheses in distal femoral megaprostheses without removing the fractured stem. The six patients included 2 males and 4 females, with an age range of 8-57 years. They were treated at Peking University People's Hospital between August 2020 and December 2023 and underwent revision surgery using the customized sleeve. A self-designed 3D-printed titanium alloy "sleeve" component was used for revision without removing the fractured stem, in the form of an external sleeve around the stem. Postoperative imaging was performed every three months to assess implant stability and bone integration. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS)-93 score. All six patients successfully completed the surgery and follow-up, with surgical durations ranging from 120 to 230 minutes and intraoperative blood loss ranging from 150 to 800 ml. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 46 months. At three months postoperatively, X-ray and CT imaging showed cortical bridging between the host bone and the "sleeve" component. By six months, full integration of the host cortical bone with the metal trabecular interface of the "sleeve" was observed. At the final follow-up, MSTS-93 scores ranged from 26 to 29 points, with no complications such as wound healing issues, implant loosening, fracture, infection, or degenerative arthritis. These findings suggest that 3D-printed titanium "sleeve" provide an effective, bone-preserving solution for femoral stem revision in oncologic megaprostheses, leading to favorable early stability and functional recovery.

Objective:To explore the application value of radiomics models based on MRI of vertebrae and paravertebral muscles in identifying potential vertebral fragility fracture risk in osteoporosis and osteopenia.Methods:This cross-sectional study collected data from patients who underwent both dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and lumbar MRI at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University between January 2014 and December 2023,retrospectively. Based on DXA results, patients were categorized into osteoporosis group ( n=302) and osteopenia group ( n=264), with fracture and non-fracture patients matched at 1∶1 ratio by propensity score matching based on age, gender, and body mass index. The fourth lumbar vertebra was selected as the region of interest (ROI) for the vertebral body, and the bilateral psoas major, erector spinae, and multifidus muscles were selected as the ROIs for the paraspinal muscles. A total of 7 259 radiomics features were extracted from these ROIs. The dataset was divided into a training set and a test set in an 8∶2 ratio by simple random sampling (osteoporosis group 241 and 61 cases, osteopenia group 211 and 53 cases). The T-score was used to establish the clinical model. After feature normalization and dimensionality reduction, logistic regression was applied to build three radiomics models: vertebral model, paraspinal muscle model, and vertebral-paraspinal muscle model. The T-score was then combined with the radiomics model that achieved the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) in the test set to construct a clinical-radiomics combined model. Model performance was evaluated using the AUC. The DeLong test was used to compare the diagnostic efficacy between models. Results:In the test set, the vertebral-paravertebral muscle model achieved the highest AUC among radiomics models and was selected for combination with the T-score. In identifying potential vertebral fragility fractures of osteoporosis group, the AUC (95% CI) of the clinical model, vertebral model, paraspinal muscle model, vertebral-paraspinal muscle model, and clinical-radiomics model were 0.523 (0.373-0.672), 0.869 (0.779-0.959), 0.608 (0.464-0.752), 0.876 (0.791-0.961), and 0.860 (0.769-0.952), respectively. For osteopenia group, the corresponding AUC(95% CI) were 0.625 (0.467-0.783), 0.696 (0.547-0.845), 0.706 (0.563-0.848), 0.816 (0.702-0.930), and 0.820 (0.710-0.930). The DeLong test showed that the vertebral model for identifying the potential vertebral fracture risk in osteoporosis group had better performance than the paraspinal muscle model ( Z=3.28, P=0.001). While for osteopenia group, there was no significant difference in diagnostic performance between the vertebral model and the paraspinal muscle model ( Z=0.09, P=0.932). The recognition efficacy of the clinical model and the vertebral-paraspinal muscle model was significantly different ( Z=3.69, 1.98; P<0.001, P=0.047), while there was no significant difference between the clinical-radiomics combined model and the vertebral-paraspinal muscle model ( Z=1.51, 0.12; P=0.131, 0.904). Conclusion:The MRI-based vertebral-paraspinal muscle radiomics model can effectively identify osteoporosis or osteopenia patients with potential fragility fracture risk. In osteopenia group, the efficacy of the MRI radiomics models based on the vertebra and paraspinal muscles in identifying potential vertebral fragility fracture risk is comparable.
