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 safety and efficacy of laparoscopes adhesiolysis in the treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 30 patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction who underwent laparoscopes adhesiolysis at the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January 2021 and December 2024. The demographics, surgical parameters and postoperative complications were recorded.Results:Among the 30 patients, 16 were male and 14 were female, with age of (55.93 ± 13.83) years. A history of abdominal surgery was present in 25 patients (83.3%). Of the surgeries, 4 cases (13.3%) were performed as emergency procedures and 26 cases (86.7%) were elective. The operative time was (125.57 ± 48.25) min, and intraoperative blood loss was (26.17 ± 16.90) ml. The time to first flatus was (3.30 ± 1.95) d, the time to first oral intake was 4.00 (3.00, 5.00) d, the hospital stay was (24.23 ± 17.97) d, and the postoperative hospital stay was 11.50 (6.75, 18.75) d. The incision pain score 0 score was in 8 cases (26.7%), 1 score in 5 cases (16.7%), 2 scores in 10 cases (33.3%), 3 scores in 3 cases (10.0%), 4 scores in 3 cases (10.0%), and 5 scores in 1 case (3.3%). One case developed a postoperative wound infection. The patients were followed up for 1 year, 1 patient experienced recurrent incomplete intestinal obstruction due to widespread peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer.Conclusions:Laparoscopes adhesiolysis is a safe and effective treatment for adhesive intestinal obstruction, offering advantages in terms of postoperative recovery and low complication rates. The continued use of minimally invasive techniques is recommended in the management of this condition.

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.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between postoperative changes in femoral head coverage (FHC) after S 2-Alar-Iliac (S 2AI) screw fixation and the development of sagittal imbalance during follow-up in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), providing insights for clinical assessment and treatment strategies. Methods:A consecutive cohort of 98 ASD patients who underwent S2AI fixation between September 2019 and September 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on changes in femoral head coverage (ΔFHC): the FHC-C group (upper quartile ΔFHC, 25 cases) and the FHC-NC group (lower quartile ΔFHC, 24 cases). Additionally, patients were classified into proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and non-PJK groups based on their clinical outcomes at the last follow-up. Standing full-spine anteroposterior and lateral X-rays were taken preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the two-year follow-up to measure and document the following spinal parameters: Cobb angle, proximal lumbar lordosis (PLL), distal lumbar lordosis (DLL), lumbar lordosis (LL), lordosis distribution index (LDI), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), coronal balance distance (CBD), thoracic kyphosis (TK), T 1 pelvic angle (T 1PA), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), PI-LL, and proximal junctional angle (PJA). Parameters related to hip joint coverage included: femoral head coverage (FHC), lateral center-edge angle (LCE angle), acetabular index (AI), Sharp angle, and extrusion index (EI). Comparisons of radiographic indicators between the two groups were performed at preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up assessments. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the hip pain and back pain. Results:At final follow-up, the incidence of PJK was significantly higher in the FHC-NC group [37.5% (9/24)] compared to the FHC-C group [16.0% (4/25)] (χ 2=3.952, P=0.042). Moreover, the increase in sagittal vertical axis (ΔSVA) was significantly greater in the FHC-NC group (35.9±44.7 mm vs. 14.6±31.8 mm, t=2.216, P=0.031). Patients with PJK had significantly higher preoperative T 1PA (36.8°±10.8° vs. 31.9°±18.4°, t=2.150, P=0.034) and lower immediate postoperative ΔFHC (1.7%±1.5% vs. 3.3%±2.5%, t=2.987, P=0.004), as well as lower changes in lateral center-edge angle during follow-up (0.3°±3.0° vs. 1.1°±8.9°, t=2.334, P=0.022). Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant negative correlations between postoperative ΔFHC and both ΔSVA ( r=-0.374, P=0.008) and proximal junctional angle changes (ΔPJA, r=-0.429, P=0.006). Additionally, increases in VAS leg pain scores correlated negatively with immediate postoperative FHC ( r=-0.314, P=0.025) and ΔFHC ( r=-0.298, P=0.031). Logistic regression indicated that immediate postoperative ΔFHC was a protective factor against PJK [ OR=0.722, 95% CI (0.541, 0.963), P=0.009), with a ROC-determined optimal ΔFHC cut-off of 3.90% (AUC=0.723, Youden index=0.847). Conclusions:Postoperative evaluation of femoral head coverage is clinically important for ASD patients undergoing S2AI screw fixation. A pre-to-post ΔFHC below 3.90% may indicate reduced hip compensation capacity, increasing risks for hip pain, sagittal imbalance progression, and PJK postoperatively.

Objective:To predict mechanical complications (MC) following spinal deformity surgery for adult spine deformity (ASD) using machine learning models, identify key risk factors, and develop a visualizable tool for individualized risk assessment.Methods:Clinical and radiological data from 525 patients with ASD who underwent surgery in our hospital between January 2017 and December 2021 were collected. Patients were randomly assigned to a training set (70%) and a test set (30%) for model development. The cohort included 88 males and 437 females, with a mean age of 42.2±18.1 years. Variables included demographic data, comorbidities, local and systemic radiological parameters, paraspinal muscle fat infiltration (FI), and vertebral bone quality (VBQ) scores. Multiple machine learning algorithms: Random Forest (RF), Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), Light GBM, Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost (XGB), and Logistic Regression (LR) were trained and evaluated. Model performance was compared using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and precision-recall curve (PRC). SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) was used to rank risk factors, while LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) was applied to visualize MC risk in individual cases.Results:Of the 525 patients, 135 (25.7%) developed postoperative MC. Among these, 80 (59.3%) experienced proximal junction kyphosis or failure (PJK/PJF), 7 (5.2%) had distal junction kyphosis or failure (DJK/DJF), 28 (20.7%) sustained rod fractures, and 29 (21.5%) showed significant loss of correction. In the validation cohort, the RF model achieved the highest area under the curve (AUC=0.80), followed by GNB (0.77), XGB (0.76), LR (0.74), LightGBM (0.73), and SVM (0.66). The RF model also demonstrated the best PRC value (0.58), highest sensitivity (0.65), and lowest Brier score (0.20). GNB, Light GBM, and LR models achieved the highest accuracy (0.78 each), while LightGBM exhibited the highest specificity (0.93). SHAP analysis identified higher preoperative VBQ scores, larger T 1 pelvic angle (TPA), and higher paraspinal muscle FI as the main risk factors for MC. Based on the RF model, a LIME-based tool was successfully constructed for individualized MC risk estimation. Conclusion:The RF model demonstrated the best overall predictive performance for MC. A machine learning-based prediction model has the potential to provide valuable guidance for surgical decision-making in ASD patients.

The operation durations for patient 1 and patient 2 were 135 minutes and 108 minutes, respectively, with 7 and 13 lymph nodes dissected, respectively. The average delay in surgical data transmission was recorded at 61.9 milliseconds, with no instances of signal interruption or frame loss. The procedure proceeded smoothly, without any jamming, and the audio and video transmissions were consistently clear. Follow up for 21 days after surgery showed no complications such as hoarseness, skin damage, or lymphatic fistula.Conclusion:The implementation of a vehicle-mounted remote mobile robotic surgery system for thyroid surgery has demonstrated safety and feasibility. Furthermore, the utilization of the 5G network offers rapid data transmission and minimal latency, closely approximating the therapeutic efficacy of traditional robotic thyroidectomy.

Objective To observe the effects of asiaticoside on renal fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy(DN)rats by regulating the Hippo-yes-associated protein(YAP)/transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif(TAZ)signaling pathway.Methods A DN rat model was established by feeding a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ).The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group,low-and high-dose asiaticoside groups,and high-dose asiaticoside+XMU-MP-1(Hippo-YAP/TAZ pathway activator)group,with a normal group set as control.After group intervention,blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(SCr),fasting blood glucose(FBG),and 24-hour urinary protein levels were measured.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe renal histopathological changes,Masson staining was used to assess renal fibrosis,and Western Blot was used to detect the protein expressions of YAP and TAZ in renal tissue.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group showed disordered renal tissue structure,enlarged and irregular cystic cavities,enlarged renal tubules with thickened basement membranes,inflammatory cell infiltration,and significant collagen deposition in the glomeruli,renal tubules,and vascular walls.The levels of FBG,BUN,SCr,24-hour urinary protein,and the protein expressions of YAP and TAZ in renal tissue were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the low-and high-dose asiaticoside groups showed significant improvement in renal tissue damage and fibrosis,with reduced levels of FBG,BUN,SCr,24-hour urinary protein,and decreased protein expressions of YAP and TAZ in renal tissue(P＜0.05).Compared with the high-dose asiaticoside group,the high-dose asiaticoside+XMU-MP-1 group showed a reversal in all the above indicators.Conclusion Asiaticoside may alleviate renal fibrosis and improve renal injury in DN rats by inhibiting the Hippo-YAP/TAZ pathway.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) has high application value in the field of healthcare. However, in practical clinical applications, convenience and system performance should be considered in the use of BCI. Wearable BCIs are generally with high convenience, but their performance in real-life scenario needs to be evaluated. This study proposed a wearable steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based BCI system equipped with a small-sized electroencephalogram (EEG) collector and a high-performance training-free decoding algorithm. Ten healthy subjects participated in the test of BCI system under simplified experimental preparation. The results showed that the average classification accuracy of this BCI was 94.10% for 40 targets, and there was no significant difference compared to the dataset collected under the laboratory condition. The system achieved a maximum information transfer rate (ITR) of 115.25 bit/min with 8-channel signal and 98.49 bit/min with 4-channel signal, indicating that the 4-channel solution can be used as an option for the few-channel BCI. Overall, this wearable SSVEP-BCI can achieve good performance in real-life scenario, which helps to promote BCI technology in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the expression level of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE2 and CNE-2R, and to evaluate the effect of METTL3 on cell invasion, metastasis and radiosensitivity.Methods:Real-time reverse transcription PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of METTL3 in normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells NP69 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE2 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma radioresistant cells CNE-2R cells. METTL3 in CNE2 and CNE-2R cells was silenced by lentivirus-mediated RNA interference technology. The metastasis and invasion abilities of the cells were detected by the scratch assay and Transwell assay. Clonogenic assay and CCK-8 assay were employed to detect the proliferation capacity and viability of cells irradiated with different X-ray doses (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 Gy). Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (Me-RIP) assay was used to detect the difference in m6A modification level of c-Jun in CNE2 and CNE-2R cells after METTL3 silencing. The transcriptional stability of c-Jun in cells after silencing METTL3 was detected by actinomycin D assay. A nude mouse xenograft model was constructed to detect the effect of METTL3 on the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in vivo. Results:Compared with NP69 cells, the expression levels of METTL3 mRNA and protein were significantly increased in CNE2 cells, and the expression level was even higher in CNE-2R cells (all P<0.01). Lentivirus-mediated RNA interference technology was used to construct a stable METTL3-silencing CNE2 and CNE-2R cell lines (both P<0.01). Scratch assay and Transwell assay showed that the metastasis and invasion abilities of CNE2 and CNE-2R cells were decreased significantly after METTL3 silencing (all P<0.05). Clonogenic assay showed that silencing METTL3 significantly reduced the number of colonies and survival fraction of CNE2 and CNE-2R cells after irradiation with different doses of X-rays (all P<0.05). CCK-8 assay showed that the proliferation ability of CNE2 and CNE-2R cells was significantly reduced by silencing METTL3 (all P<0.05). After different doses of irradiation, silencing METTL3 significantly reduced the survival fraction of CNE2 and CNE-2R cells (all P<0.05). The apoptotic rate after METTL3 silencing was higher than that in the control group at the irradiation dose of 0 and 8 Gy (all P<0.05). The Me-RIP assay showed that the m6A modification level of c-Jun in CNE2 and CNE-2R cells was significantly reduced after METTL3 silencing (both P<0.01), and the actinomycin D assay showed that transcriptional stability of c-Jun was reduced. Nude mouse xenograft experiment showed that silencing METTL3 inhibited xenograft proliferation and improved its radiosensitivity. Conclusion:METTL3 is highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, and METTL3 mediates m6A modification of c-Jun to improve the transcriptional stability of c-Jun and promote the expression of c-Jun, thereby promoting the invasion and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and reducing their radiosensitivity.
