Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for safe abdominal wall recons-truction in giant ventral hernia based on imaging and clinical features.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The imaging and clinical data of 369 patients with giant ventral hernia who were admitted to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2017 to December 2023 were collected. There were 182 males and 187 females, aged (63±14)years. Among 369 patients, 311 cases underwent safe abdominal wall reconstruction and 58 underwent high-risk abdominal wall reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) clinical and imaging characteris-tics; (2) analysis of influencing factors for safe abdominal wall reconstruction in giant ventral hernia. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the nonparametic rank sum test. Logistic regression, Lasso regression, and random forest analyses were used for influencing factors analysis. Results:(1) Clinical and imaging characteristics. There were significant differences between patients with safe and high-risk abdominal wall reconstruction in presence of a definite secondary abdominal cavity, maximum axial diameter of the defect, maximum transverse diameter of the defect, abdominal wall defect area, component separation index (CSI), abdominal wall opening angle, ratio of CSI, muscle grayscale at the defect, hernia sac volume, hernia sac-abdominal cavity volume ratio, and defect long-axis-to-abdominal cavity ratio ( P<0.05). (2) Analysis of influencing factors for safe abdominal wall reconstruction in giant ventral hernia. Results of Logistic regression analysis showed that presence of a definite secondary abdominal cavity, maximum axial diameter of the defect, maximum transverse diameter of the defect, abdominal wall defect area, CSI, abdominal wall opening angle, ratio of CSI, muscle grayscale at the defect (inner-superior or right), hernia sac volume, hernia sac-abdominal cavity volume ratio, and defect long-axis-to-abdominal cavity ratio were factors associated with safe abdominal wall reconstruction in giant ventral hernia [ odds ratio ( OR)=3.955, 1.189, 1.395, 1.127, 2.006, 1.042, 1.095, 0.881, 1.102, 1.109, 1.601, 95% confidence interval ( CI) as 2.179-7.178, 1.113-1.271, 1.267-1.537, 1.090-1.166, 1.651-2.437, 1.014-1.071, 1.066-1.125, 0.798-0.972, 1.057-1.148, 1.067-1.153, 1.343-1.909]. The top 3 factors for discriminative performance were abdominal wall CSI, ratio of CSI, maximum transverse diameter of the defect and the abdominal wall defect area, with area under the curve of 0.794, 0.777, 0.772, and 0.772, respectively. Results of Lasso regression analysis showed that body mass index, smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, presence of a definite secondary abdominal cavity, abdominal wall defect area, abdominal wall opening angle, abdominal wall CSI, muscle grayscale at the defect (inner-superior or right), and hernia sac-to-abdominal cavity volume ratio were associated factors with safe abdominal wall reconstruction in giant ventral hernia (coefficients as -0.002, 0.003, 0.007, 0.014, 0.021, 0.077, 0.023, 0.059, -0.010, 0.037).

Objective To elucidate the influence of two procedures aortic root remodeling using a straight tubular artificial vessel while preserving the aortic valve and the Florida sleeve procedure on the biomechanics of the aortic root.Methods Five finite element models of the aortic root were reconstructed using computed tomography angiography images,including two cases of aortic root remodeling(A1 and A2),two cases of the Florida sleeve procedure(B1 and B2),and one control group without aortic root pathology(C).Numerical simulations were performed to obtain the blood flow and pressure distribution result to assess the differences in the hemodynamics of the aortic root.Results There were no significant differences in the peak systolic velocity between the two procedures and the control.However,the flow velocity after aortic root remodeling was smoother,similar to the model of the control group,with a more stable average aortic pressure and wall shear stress.In the Florida sleeve procedure,high-speed blood flow affected the vessel wall,leading to various degrees of wall shear stress and pressure concentrations along the aortic wall.Conclusions After aortic root replacement with valve preservation,blood flow patterns in the reconstructed aortic root depended on postoperative changes in sinus geometry.Both surgical procedures showed favorable blood flow patterns;however,the flow pattern after aortic root remodeling was more stable than that after the Florida sleeve procedure.

Malignant tumors in children are one of the most important diseases that threaten the health and quality of life of children and are the second most common cause of death in children.With the continuous improvement and progress of treatment technology, the long-term survival rate of children with tumor has been significantly improved, but both the disease itself and the treatment can impair the immune function of children, which makes them vulnerable to various infectious diseases and secondary serious complications, and even become a source of infection, endangering the health of others. Vaccination is the most cost-effective measure to prevent infectious diseases. For children with normal immune functions, the benefits of vaccination usually outweigh the disadvantages. However, there is a lack of detailed data on the vaccination situation, efficacy and safety of vaccine use for such immunocompromised tumor survivors, and there are no authoritative and uniform vaccination recommendations. This article reviewed and summarized the literature and consensus of some domestic and foreign scholars on current status of post-treatment vaccination status, efficacy and safety of vaccination for children with tumors after treatment, with the aim of providing a reference for the practice in this field in China.

Objective To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of lateral gastrocnemius muscle branch nerve transferring for deep pe-roneal nerve injury. Methods Thirty-two adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (n=8), sham group (n=8), nerve direct repairing group (n=8) and nerve transferring group (n=8). Twelve weeks after the anastomosis, the nerve anastomosis was observed vi-sually, the length of lateral of gastrocnemius muscle branch (L1), the diameter at the point of entering muscle (D1), the maximum detachable length of nervus peroneus communis (L2), the diameter of deep peroneal nerve (D2) and the distance between branch point and neck of fibu-la (S) were measured. The peroneal nerve functional index (PFI), the amplitude of compound muscle action potential (CMAP), nerve con-duction velocity (NCV), the weight of the tibialis anterior and the creatine kinase (CK) activity of theanterior tibial were compared among groups. Results L10.05). Conclusion It is feasible that lateral head muscular branches of gastrocnemius nerve transferring can repair deep peroneal nerve injury, which is needed to separate superficial peroneal nerve and deep peroneal nerve in the epineurium without damaging nerve for tension free neuroanastomosis. Lateral head muscular branches of gastrocnemius nerve transferring can repair the func-tion after deep peroneal nerve injury.

Objective To explore the effect of salmon calcitonin on osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury. Methods 100 patients with osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury from September 2011 to September 2014 in our department were included. They were randomly divided into control group (n=50) and observation group (n=50). The control group received vitamin D3 only, while the observation group received vitamin D3 combined with salmon calcitonin on the basis of rehabilitation physiotherapy, for 6 months. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain was evaluated in different periods. The bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine and femoral neck, the parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone gla protein (BGP) and 1,25- dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) were tested and recorded. Results The VAS score was lower in the observation group than in the control group 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after treatment (P<0.001). The BMD of lumbar spine and femoral neck was significantly higher, the PTH and BGP were significantly lower and the 1,25-(OH)2D3 was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group after treatment (P<0.001). Conclusion Combination of salmon calcitonin can effectively reduce the bone pain and improve the BMD in patients with osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury.
