BACKGROUND:The types of acetabular double-column fractures are complex and common.At present,the traditional reconstructed bone plates are used to treat the double-column fractures,and the mismatch between them and the bone surface will increase the difficulty of surgery.Personalized bone plate can realize the adhesion of bone plate and bone surface,but the biomechanical comparison between personalized bone plate and traditional reconstructed bone plate in fixation of acetabular double column fracture is few,and the simulated posture is relatively simple.OBJECTIVE:Three-dimensional finite element method was used to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of different internal fixation methods of complex acetabular double-column fractures in various positions,providing the necessary biomechanical basis for clinical application.METHODS:The most representative two-column fracture model of complex acetabular fractures involving square area was established.A three-dimensional finite element model was established for the fixation of complex acetabular double-column fractures by four different internal fixation methods:special-shaped titanium plate fixation(group A),anterior and posterior column double titanium plate fixation(group B),anterior column reconstruction titanium plate+posterior column lag screw fixation(group C),and anterior column reconstruction titanium plate+subacetabular screw fixation(group D).Four kinds of complicated acetabular double-column fracture models with different internal fixation were simulated in the position of sitting,standing,affected side extension,affected side abduction,and affected side standing on one leg.The biomechanical properties of the four internal fixation methods were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The node displacement and mean displacement on fracture line were presented as group A＜group B＜group C＜group D in all postures.The displacement value in the one-leg standing position on the affected side was the largest compared with other postures,and the maximum displacement of the internal fixation system in group A was the smallest among the four models.There was no significant difference between the four groups in the standing position and the one-legged standing position(P＞0.05).In the position of sitting,affected side extension,and affected side abduction,there was no significant difference between group A and group B,group B and group C,and group C and group D(P＞0.05),but there was significant difference between group A and group C,group A and group D,and group B and group D(P＜0.05).(2)The maximum stress of each fracture block in group A was smaller than that in other groups,and the stress distribution of fracture block was more uniform.The stress of the internal fixator was mainly concentrated in the area near the fracture end of the bone plate.The stress distribution of the internal fixator was more uniform in groups A and B,while the stress concentration of the internal fixator in groups C and D was more obvious,and the maximum stress value of the internal fixator in group A decreased by 4.86％-54.61％compared with the other three groups.(3)In the affected side extension and abduction position,both groups A and B had a large stress shielding rate,and the maximum difference between the two groups was 5.67％.In the one-legged standing position on the affected side,the internal fixed stress shielding rate of group A was the highest,while that of group D was the lowest.(4)It is indicated that shaped personalized titanium plate fixation(group A)has better biomechanical stability than the other three groups of traditional reconstructed bone plate fixation.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective To analyze the application effect of acetaminophen preemptive analgesia combined with intercostal nerve block in thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods A total of 120 patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy admitted to Lu'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2021 to September 2023 were selected as the study objects,and they were divided into the control group and the observation group according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were given acetaminophen preemptive analgesia before anesthesia induction,while patients in the observation group were given intercostal nerve block on the basis of the control group.The visual analogue scale(VAS)score,Ramsay sedation score,serum β-endorphin level and prostaglandin E2 level 3,12,24 and 48 hours after operation of patients in the two groups were compared.The stress response indexes such as norepinephrine(NE),epinephrine(E)and serum cortisol(Cor),as well as immune function indexes such as CD3+,CD4+and CD4+/CD8+before anesthesia induction and after extubation of patients in the two groups were compared.The incidence of adverse reactions after extubation of patients in the two groups were compared.Results The VAS scores of patients after surgery in the two groups gradually increased with time,and the Ramsay sedation scores gradually decreased with time.The VAS scores of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at each postoperative time point,and the Ramsay sedation scores were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The levels of serum β-endorphin and prostaglandin E2 of patients after surgery in the two groups gradually decreased with time.The levels of serum β-endorphin of patients at each postoperative time point in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the levels of prostaglandin E2 of patients at each postoperative time point in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The levels of NE,E,and Cor after extubation of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+after extubation of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of acetaminophen preemptive analgesia combined with intercostal nerve block in thoracoscopic lobectomy has good analgesic and sedative effects on patients,which is helpful to improve patients'immune function and reduce postoperative adverse reactions.

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.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Hemorrhagic shock is a common clinical emergency that can aggravate cell injury after resuscitation. Astrocytes are crucial for the survival of neurons because they regulate the surrounding ionic microenvironment of neurons. Although hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HSR) injury can impair cognition, it remains unclear how this insult directly affects astrocytes. In this study, we established an HSR model by bleeding and re-transfusion in mice. The social interaction test and new object recognition test were applied to evaluate post-operative cognitive changes, and the results suggest that mice experience cognitive impairment following exposure to HSR. In the HSR group, the power spectral density of β and γ oscillations decreased, and the coupling of the θ oscillation phase and γ oscillation amplitude was abnormal, which indicated abnormal neuronal oscillation and cognitive impairment after HSR exposure. In brief, cognitive impairment in mice is strongly correlated with Ca²⁺ signal strength in lateral septum astrocytes following HSR.
