Objective To analyze the lipid metabolism levels in patients with non-functional adrenal in-cidentalomas(NFAI)and the efficacy of different treatment approaches.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data,including clinical manifestations,metabolism-related diseases,lipid metabo-lism levels,and hormone levels,of 114 patients diagnosed with NFAI who sought medical attention at this hospital from September 2021 to June 2024.The patients were divided into the surgical group(receiving surgi-cal treatment)and the non-surgical group(receiving conservative treatment).The surgical group was further categorized into the normal lipid group and the dyslipidemia group based on preoperative lipid levels.Changes in lipid metabolism levels before and after treatment were compared between the surgical and non-surgical groups,as well as between the normal lipid and dyslipidemia groups,to evaluate the impact of NFAI on lipid metabolism.Results Among the 114 patients,76 were divided into the surgical group and 38 into the non-sur-gical group.The surgical group was further divided into 36 patients in the normal lipid group and 40 in the dyslipidemia group.In the surgical group,triglycerides(TG)and low-density lipoprotein(LDL)levels de-creased significantly after treatment compared to pre-treatment levels(P=0.007,0.002).In contrast,no sta-tistically significant difference was observed in the non-surgical group between pre-and post-treatment TG and LDL levels(P＞0.05).Compared with the non-surgical group,the surgical group showed a greater reduc-tion in TG and LDL levels before and after treatment(P=0.049,0.002).In the dyslipidemia group,TG and LDL levels returned to normal levels after treatment and significantly decreased compared to those before treatment,with statistical significance(P=0.007,0.001).However,in the normal lipid group,there was no statistically significant difference in TG and LDL levels before and after treatment(P=0.640,0.499).Com-pared with the normal lipid group,the dyslipidemia group showed a greater reduction in TG and LDL levels before and after treatment(P＜0.001,P=0.022).The final pathological results of patients in the surgical group included 59 cases of cortical adenoma,6 cases of cyst,7 cases of myelolipoma,and 4 cases of nodular hy-perplasia.In patients with cortical adenoma,the postoperative TG and LDL levels significantly decreased com-pared to those before surgery(P=0.008,0.014),while there was no statistically significant difference in TG and LDL levels before and after treatment in patients with cysts,myelolipomas,and nodular hyperplasia(P＞0.05).Conclusion NFAI may adversely affect lipid metabolism and is associated with elevated TG and LDL-C levels.Compared with conservative treatment,surgical resection can significantly reduce the body's TG and LDL levels and effectively improve abnormal lipid metabolism.

Objective:To develop a predictive model for selecting patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer(HRLPC)who are suitable for preoperative maximum androgen blocking(MAB)therapy.Methods:This study was conducted among 96 patients with HRLPC who were diagnosed based on transrectal biopsy and underwent radical prostatectomy in Department of Urology,The First Af-filiated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University,from January 1,2021 to June 30,2024,and all patients received MAB therapy for 3 months before surgery and were followed up for 6 months after surgery.Related data were collected from all patients,including baseline demographic features,laboratory data,imaging findings,perioperative data,and follow-up information.At first,the association between prostate-specific antigen density(PSAD)stratification after MAB therapy and pathological and biochemical benefits was analyzed to determine the optimal PSAD group,then machine learning was used to identify important variables and establish a predictive model,and finally,the model was evaluated using the ROC curve,the calibration curve,and clinical applicability assessment.Results:The low PSAD group[PSAD<0.17 ng/(mL·cm3)]showed the best results of perioperative outcomes,pathological downgrading,the rate of undetectable PSA after-surgery,recovery from urinary incontinence,and PSA follow-up(P<0.05).The model was established based on prostate volume,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,PSAD,smoking history,total cholesterol,PSA,and body mass index,and this predictive model had good performance(with an area under the ROC curve of 0.769)and showed a certain degree of clinical applica-bility.Conclusion:Patients in the low PSAD group tend to have better pathological and biochemical benefits.This study provides a re-liable predictive model to assist in the individualized treatment of patients with HRLPC.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical application value of circular RNA hsa_circ_0001766 in gastric cancer(GC)tissues and serum of patients with GC.Methods The PCR amplification products from GES-1 cells of normal gastric mucosa were analyzed for the cyclic sites of hsa_circ_0001766 by the Sanger sequencing technique.The expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GES-1 cells treated or untreated with RNase R(RNase R)were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).The expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC and adjacent tissues of 73 GC patients and serum samples of 34 GC patients were also detected by qRT-PCR.The receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the clinical diag-nostic value of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC.The correlations between hsa_circ_0001766 and clinicopathological parameters in GC patients were also analyzed.Results There was cyclic sites in hsa_circ_0001766 and RNase R had no significant impact on the expression lev-el of hsa_circ_0001766 in GES-1 cells(t=1.678,P=0.169).Compared with adjacent tissues,the expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues were significantly up-regulated(U=1 360,P<0.001).Compared with healthy controls,the expres-sion levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in serum of GC patients were significantly up-regulated(U=375,P<0.001).The area under the ROC curve(AUCROC),sensitivity,and specificity of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues for diagnosing GC were 0.759(95％CI:0.682-0.837,P<0.000 1),79.45％,and 68.49％,respectively.The AUCROC,sensitivity,and specificity of serum hsa_circ_0001766 in diagnosing GC were 0.773(95％CI:0.662-0.884,P<0.000 1),73.53％,and 72.12％,respectively.The expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues were correlated with lymph node metastasis(x2=5.509,P=0.019)and TNM staging(x2=5.161,P=0.023).The 3-year survival rate of GC patients with high expression of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues was significantly lower than that with low ex-pression(x2=3.700,P=0.037).Conclusion The hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues and serum of GC patients is highly expressed,and its change in the expression level is of great significance for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of GC patients.

Objective:To evaluate the detection rate, anatomical distribution, and influencing factors of bone marrow edema-like signal (BMELS) in the knees of amateur marathon runners.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. This study publicly recruited amateur marathon runners through the Hangzhou Long-distance Running Association from January 2019 to December 2024. Based on knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results, participants were divided into a BMELS-positive group (BMELS present in at least one knee) and a BMELS-negative group. General clinical information was collected from participants using a questionnaire. All participants underwent a knee MRI scan to screen for the presence of BMELS and to assess its severity. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the associated factors of BMELS in amateur marathon runners, while Spearman′s correlation analysis assessed the correlation between BMELS grade and these factors.Results:A total of 60 subjects (120 knee joints) were enrolled, including 39 males (65%), aged (40.0±8.4) years. Of these, 39 were in the BMELS-positive group, and 21 were in the BMELS-negative group. The BMELS detection rate for the 120 knee joints of these 60 subjects was 53.3% (64/120). BMELS were detected in 43.3%(52/120) of the femur, 34.2% (41/120) of tibia and 17.5% (21/120) of patella. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed an independent positive correlation between monthly running volume and knee BMELS in amateur marathon runners ( OR=1.007, 95% CI: 1.000-1.013, P=0.035). Spearman′s correlation analysis showed a weak positive correlation between the BMELS grade of the knees and the monthly running volume of amateur marathon runners ( r s=0.360, P=0.005). Conclusions:The detection rate of knee BMELS is high in amateur marathon runners, and they are distributed in a way that is characteristic of the region, with a higher incidence in the medial femoral condyle. In this population, monthly running volume is independently associated with knee BMELS, with a higher grade associated with greater monthly running volume.

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.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of the dual anteromedial and anterolateral approaches versus that of the anterior midline approach in the treatment of Wahlquist type C medial tibial plateau fractures accompanied by posterior column collapse.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 21 patients who had been treated for Wahlquist type C medial tibial plateau fractures plus posterior column collapse at The Fourth Orthopedic Ward, The 72nd Group Army Hospital of PLA between January 2019 and August 2023. The cohort included 13 males and 8 females, with an age of (43.3±6.7) years. The left side was involved in 14 fractures and the right side in 7 ones. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on their surgical approaches: a dual-approach group ( n=13) undergoing fixation via the dual anteromedial and anterolateral approaches, and a single-approach group ( n=8) undergoing fixation via the anterior midline approach. Comparative parameters included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, quality of fracture reduction, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), incision complications, postoperative bone mass reduction quality (evaluated according to the Rasmussen anatomical criteria for tibial condyle fracture reduction), lateral tibial plateau instability, incidence of genu varum, and post-traumatic arthritis. Functional recovery of the lower limb joints was assessed at the final follow-up using the Merchant criteria. Results:No statistically significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the 2 groups preoperatively, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for a mean duration of (38.1±11.3) months. The postoperative MPTA in the dual-approach group (86.8°±0.8°) was significantly larger than that in the single-approach group (85.5°±0.9°) ( P<0.05). Genu varum occurred in 1 patient in the dual-approach group and in 4 patients in the single-approach group, while lateral tibial plateau instability was observed in 1 patient in the dual-approach group and in 4 patients in the single-approach group, showing statistically significant differences between the 2 groups ( P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups regarding operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, quality of fracture reduction, incidence of incision complications, or incidence of post-traumatic arthritis ( P>0.05). At the final follow-up, no statistically significant difference was observed in the functional recovery of the lower limb joints assessed by the Merchant criteria between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of Wahlquist type C medial tibial plateau fractures accompanied by posterior column collapse, compared with the single anterior midline approach, the dual anteromedial and anterolateral approaches can restore more effectively the MPTA, and reduce the incidences of genu varum and lateral tibial plateau instability.

Objective:To establish a three-dimensional navigation process for design and resection of perforator flaps based on multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and to explore its clinical application effects.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2021 to October 2023, 7 patients and 6 patients with post-traumatic skin and soft tissue defects in extremity and conformed to the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University and Wuxi No. 9 People's Hospital, respectively. There were 8 males and 5 females, aged 21 to 68 years. Nine patients had wounds on the hand and 4 patients had wounds on the foot. The wound area after debridement ranged from 8.0 cm×6.0 cm to 18.0 cm×17.0 cm. Through the three-dimensional navigation process based on MDCTA, 14 perforator flaps were designed and resected, including 11 free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps and 3 pedicled peroneal artery perforator flaps with sural nerve nutritional vessel chain, with flap size ranging from 9.0 cm×6.0 cm to 20.0 cm×15.0 cm. Six wounds in the flap donor sites were directly sutured, and eight wounds in the flap donor sites were transplanted with skin grafts. The consistency of the location, type, and source of the perforators was compared between the preoperative navigation display and actual intraoperative detection. Immediately after surgery, the coverage of wound by the flap was evaluated according to the self-made criteria. The postoperative flap survival was observed. The occurrence of complications was observed during follow-up. At the last follow-up, the appearance of the flaps was observed, the blood supply of the flaps and the hand function of the 9 patients with hand trauma were evaluated according to the trial standards for evaluation of partial function of upper extremity by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, and the foot function of the 4 patients with foot trauma was assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scoring System.Results:The location, type, and source of the perforators displayed in preoperative navigation were consistent with the actual intraoperative detection. Immediately after surgery, the coverage of the wounds by 11 flaps was rated as excellent, and that of 3 flaps was rated as moderate. Postoperatively, 13 flaps survived completely, and 1 flap had partial necrosis, which healed after a full-thickness skin grafting from the thigh. Patients were followed up for 4 to 24 months postoperatively, one patient developed a hematoma under the flap, and one patient had local infection. At the last follow-up, the flaps of all patients were good in color and texture, and 5 patients with bloated flaps post operation had good appearance after thinning surgery; the blood supply was excellent in 12 flaps and was good in 2 flaps; among patients with hand trauma, the hand function was rated as excellent in 2 cases, good in 4 cases, and poor in 3 cases; among patients with foot trauma, the foot function was rated as excellent in 3 cases and good in 1 case.Conclusions:The three-dimensional navigation process for design and resection of perforator flaps based on MDCTA realizes precise evaluation of perforator vessels in flap donor sites and skin and soft tissue defects in the recipient sites. Guided by the three-dimensional navigation process, the application of free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps and pedicled peroneal artery perforator flaps with sural nerve nutritional vessel chain in repairing skin and soft tissue defects in extremity realizes precise surgery, reducing flap donor site injury and achieving excellent clinical outcomes.
