Objective Taking a tertiary Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)hospital in Beijing as an example,it explores the differences in service quality perception among medical providers in Internet-based diagnostic services,aiming to provide robust support for the digital transformation of TCM medical services.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 145 doctors who had diagnostic privileges on the Internet hospital platform of a certain hospital in September 2024.The survey focused on doctors'perceptions and satisfaction differences between online and offline medical service quality.Data processing and analysis were performed using EXCEL and SPSS 26.0 software,including descriptive analysis,reliability and validity tests,and rank-sum tests.Results 66.34%of the doctors recognized the Internet hospital platform established by the hospital,but the average satisfaction score(3.86)was still lower than that of offline outpatient service platforms,which was 4.59.Especially in the three dimensions of diagnosis and treatment,quality assurance,and psychosocial care,the perception of online service quality was significantly lower than that of offline services(P＜0.001).Despite this,82.76%of doctors were still inclined to recommend the internet-based diagnostic model to suitable patients.Conclusion Internet hospitals should establish a refined and intelligent platform system and rigorous service quality control standards to optimize doctors'online consultation processes.Comprehensive training for online consulting doctors should be strengthened.By improving the service quality of medical providers,the integration of online and offline services can be promoted to meet patients'demands for high-quality medical services.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy of minimally invasive treatment of Sanders Ⅱ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures in diabetes patients using subtalar arthroscopy assisted by preoperative musculoskeletal ultrasound to localize the lateral calcaneal branch of the sural nerve and a medial calcanetalar distractor.Methods:The clinical data of the 52 patients with diabetes mellitus were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated for Sanders Ⅱ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures from March 2016 to August 2020 at Department of Traumatic Orthopedics, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. There were 34 males and 18 females with an age of (61.7±14.5) years. According to the Sanders' classification, there were 23 cases of type Ⅱ and 29 cases of type Ⅲ. Preoperative musculoskeletal ultrasonography was routinely performed to locate the lateral calcaneal branch of the sural nerve in all patients. The surgical procedures were subtalar arthroscopy combined with percutaneous prying reduction and screw fixation assisted by a calcanetalar joint distractor. Incision healing, local skin paraesthesia and other conditions were observed regularly in all patients. The short-term efficacy was assessed by comparing calcaneal lengths, calcaneal widths, calcaneal heights, B?hler angles and Gissane angles at pre-surgery, 3 days, 12 months and the last follow-up after surgery, as well as by comparing visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores and Maryland scores at pre-surgery, 12 months and the last follow-up after surgery.Results:All the 52 patients were followed up for (23.7±3.2) months after successful surgery. No incision-related complications were reported. The calcaneal radiographic parameters (calcaneal lengths, calcaneal widths, calcaneal heights, B?hler angles and Gissane angles) at 3 days, 12 months and the last follow-up after surgery were significantly improved compared with the values before surgery ( P<0.05), but there were no significant differences regarding the calcaneal radiographic parameters between 3 days, 12 months and the last follow-up after surgery ( P>0.05). The VAS pain scores, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores and Maryland scores at 12 months and the last follow-up after surgery were significantly improved compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the minimally invasive treatment of Sanders Ⅱ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures in diabetes patients, preoperative musculoskeletal ultrasonography to locate the lateral calcaneal branch of the sural nerve, followed by subtalar arthroscopy combined with percutaneous prying reduction and screw fixation assisted by a calcanetalar joint distractor can lead to good short-term efficacy.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence and related factors of pediatric flexible flatfoot (PFF) among 7-8 year old children in Changzhou, so as to provide a feasible basis for the prevention and treatment of PFF. Methods: From December 2023 to February 2024, a total of 1 685 children aged 7-8 from 10 primary schools in Changzhou were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method, and screened for PFF by using a foot optical assessment recording device. Information including sex, body mass index (BMI), diet, exercise and shoe wearing habits were collected. The valgus angle of the hindfoot was measured on the body surface by using an orthopedic measuring ruler in the standing position. Pain levels were evaluated by using visual analogue score (VAS) for children with flatfoot syndrome. Multivariate Logistic analysis was used to analyze related factors of PFF. Results: The overall detection rate of PFF was 27.4%, and there was a significant difference in the detection rate of PFF between boys and girls, with 30.3% and 24.1% respectively ( χ 2=7.96, P < 0.01 ). Most cases of PFF were mild flatfoot (60.8%) and bilateral ( 60.4% ). Approximately 13.2% of children with PFF had flatfoot syndrome, with a mean VAS of (2.86±0.73). About 56.1% of children with PFF had a normal valgus angle of the hindfoot. Sex, high BMI and preference for shoe last with front upturned shoe shape were positively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR= 1.74, 1.54, 1.13, P <0.05). After stratified by sex, regular exercise in boys and age in girls were negatively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR=0.40, 0.64, P <0.05). Conclusions The detection rate of PFF in 7-8 year old children is high. Additionally, PFF combined with flatfoot syndrome or valgus hindfoot is relatively rare and is likely to be underestimated, which emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention for PFF.

Background::Genetic variants of dopaminergic transcription factor-encoding genes are suggested to be Parkinson’s disease (PD) risk factors; however, no comprehensive analyses of these genes in patients with PD have been undertaken. Therefore, we aimed to genetically analyze 16 dopaminergic transcription factor genes in Chinese patients with PD.Methods::Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed using a Chinese cohort comprising 1917 unrelated patients with familial or sporadic early-onset PD and 1652 controls. Additionally, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using another Chinese cohort comprising 1962 unrelated patients with sporadic late-onset PD and 1279 controls.Results::We detected 308 rare and 208 rare protein-altering variants in the WES and WGS cohorts, respectively. Gene-based association analyses of rare variants suggested that MSX1 is enriched in sporadic late-onset PD. However, the significance did not pass the Bonferroni correction. Meanwhile, 72 and 1730 common variants were found in the WES and WGS cohorts, respectively. Unfortunately, single-variant logistic association analyses did not identify significant associations between common variants and PD. Conclusions::Variants of 16 typical dopaminergic transcription factors might not be major genetic risk factors for PD in Chinese patients. However, we highlight the complexity of PD and the need for extensive research elucidating its etiology.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical and pathologic characteristics, response to treatment, survival, and prognosis of patients with primary large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNSLBCL) .Methods:Clinical and pathologic data of 70 patients with PCNSLBCL admitted to Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from December 2010 to November 2022 were collected for retrospective analysis. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, and prognosis analysis was conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model.Results:Among 70 patients with PCNSLBCL, complete remission (CRs) were achieved in 49 (70.0% ) and partial remission in 4 (5.7% ) after the first-line induction therapy; the overall remission rate was 75.7%. The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 55.8% and the median progression-free survival (mPFS) time was 35.9 months, whereas the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate was 79.1% with a median OS time not reached. After CR induced by first-line therapy, cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was lower in patients who had received auto-HSCT than in those who had not received consolidation therapy ( P=0.032), whose 2-year PFS rate was 54.4% and mPFS time was 35.9 months; comparatively, the 2-year PFS rate in patients having received oral maintenance of small molecule drugs reached 84.4% with a mPFS time of 79.5 months ( P=0.038). Multivariant analysis demonstrated that Class 3 in the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) prognostic model is an independent adverse prognostic factor of OS in patients with PCNSLBCL ( HR=3.127, 95% CI 1.057-9.253, P=0.039) . Conclusions:In patients with PCNSLBCL achieving CR after the first-line induction therapy, auto-HSCT as consolidation therapy would lead to a decreased CIR, and PFS time could be prolonged by oral maintenance of small molecule drugs. Class 3 MSKCC prognostic model is independently associated with poorer OS.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for stone recurrence after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and to develop a risk prediction model.Methods:Clinical data of 344 patients with bile duct stones who underwent LCBDE combined with LC at Hebei General Hospital from January 2016 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 165 males and 179 females, aged (62.72±13.56) years old. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether stones recurred during the follow-up period: recurrence group ( n=37) and non-recurrence group ( n=307). Clinical data such as common bile duct diameter, stone size, number of stones and duration of T-tube drainage were collected from the patients. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for postoperative stone recurrence, and then developed a logistic regression model. The predictive efficacy of the model was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. Results:The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that patients with ≥2 choledochal stones had a high risk of stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC ( OR=3.094, 95% CI: 1.069-8.954, P=0.037). In contrast, regular postoperative oral choleretic medication was a protective factor for stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC ( OR=0.160, 95% CI: 0.072-0.354, P=0.001). A logistic regression model, based on the number of common bile duct stones and regular postoperative oral choleretic medication, was developed to predict the recurrence of bile duct stones in patients who underwent LCBDE combined with LC. The area under the ROC curve for this model was found to be 0.821 (95% CI: 0.758-0.885). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test, χ 2=7.26, P=0.509, suggested that there is good agreement between the model's predicted probabilities and ideal probabilities. Conclusions:The number of stones (≥2) is an independent risk factor for stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC in patients with bile duct stones. Regular postoperative oral choleretic medication is a protective factor for stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC. Predictive models based on the number of choledochal stones and regular postoperative oral choleretic medication have better efficacy in predicting postoperative stone recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the precautions and clinical effects of minimally invasive lateral bone transfer of tibia in the treatment of diabetic foot.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 82 patients with diabetic foot admitted to the Trauma Department of Changzhou First People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. According to the Wagner grade of diabetic foot, there were 12 cases of grade 2, 50 cases of grade 3, and 20 cases of grade 4. According to the surgical method, 45 patients were divided into bone transfer group. There were 29 males and 16 females, with an average age of 65.27±10.74 years (ranging from 44-87 years), who underwent minimally invasive bone transfer of tibia combined with local debridement treatment. In the non-bone transfer group, there were 37 cases (26 males and 11 females) with an average age of 66.05±11.08 years (ranging from 44 to 86 years), who were treated with local debridement. Gender, age, Wagner grade, surface temperature difference of the affected limb, visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the affected limb before and 1 month after surgery, wound healing rate 1 month after surgery, and recurrence rate of the affected foot 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups. Outcomes of the cases of different Wagner grades were compared.Result:All 82 patients were followed up for 14.23±1.20 months. There was no significant difference in gender, age, Wagner grade and preoperative VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). The skin temperature of the affected limb before and after surgery in the bone transfer group was significantly higher than that in the non-bone transfer group 1.93±0.31 ℃ ( P<0.05), and the VAS of the bone transfer group was 2.18±0.58 points 1 month after surgery, which was lower than that in the non-bone transfer group of 5.41±0.93. The VAS difference before and after surgery in the bone transfer group was 4.80±1.24 points, which was greater than that in the non-bone transfer group of 1.62±1.48 points with significant difference ( P<0.05). The wound healing rate was over 98.78%±2.17% in the bone transfer group and 52.57%±6.41% in the non-bone transfer group one month after surgery. No recurrence or recurrence was found in the bone transfer group one year after surgery, and the recurrence rate was 86% (32/37) in the non-bone transfer group with significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no difference in preoperative VAS for different grades of diabetic foot (grades 2, 3, and 4). There were significant differences in VAS, VAS decrease, postoperative limb surface temperature increase, local wound healing rate at 1 month, and lower limb ulcer recurrence or recurrence rate at 12 months in the bone transfer groups of Wagner grade 2, 3, and 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive lateral bone transfer of tibia combined with local precision debridement could significantly increase the healing rate of diabetic foot ulcer, improve the peripheral microcirculation of the affected limb, reduce the pain of the affected limb, and decrease the recurrence rate of diabetic foot ulcer.

Objective:To investigate the one-stage surgical treatment method and short-term therapeutic effect for combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 79 patients with Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Traumatic Orthopedics in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from April 2016 to February 2021 and there were 47 males and 32 females with a mean age of 51.5±13.2 years (ranging from 21 to 73 years old). Combined with preoperative MRI manifestations, meniscus injuries and avulsion fractures of collateral ligament complex were all repaired in one stage, primary reconstruction was not performed for the combined substantive injury of ACL body, and the displaced avulsion fracture of ACL insertion was only reduced without separate fixation during open reduction and internal fixation for fractures. Visual analogue scale (VAS), knee flexion range of motion, and American Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Joint (HSS) scores were used to evaluate the treatment outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and the last follow-up.Results:All 79 patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 23.6±2.2 months. The incidence of combined ACL injury was approximately 23% (18/79) with the main manifestation being intercondylar ridge avulsion fracture of ACL (10/18, 56%), which was more common in SchatzkerIV fractures (60%, 6/10). Postoperative KT-1000 measurements on the side-to-side difference in forward displacement of the healthy and affected knee joint showed no significant change in patients with ACL avulsion fracture and body injury, and there was no statistically significant difference compared to the normal range ( P>0.05). No statistically significant difference could be observed in postoperative VAS between ACL avulsion fracture, ACL body injury, and non-ACL injury groups ( P>0.05). At 3, 6, 12 months and the last follow-up after surgery, knee flexion range of motion in patients with intercondylar eminence avulsion fracture of ACL 99.7°±8.9°, 110.5°±10.3°, 120.9°±10.5°, and 121.5°±10.2° was lower than that in patients without ACL injury 106.5°±10.1°, 119.1°±9.8°, 128.3°±10.4°, and 128.3°±9.3°, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months after surgery, patients with intercondylar eminence avulsion fracture of ACL had lower HSS scores 72.7±5.3 and 80.4±4.6 points compared to those without ACL injury 76.3±4.1 and 83.6±4.5 points, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:During the surgical treatment of Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures, it is feasible to treat possible concomitant injuries such as meniscus on the basis of reduction and fixation of the fracture without reconstructing the ACL in one stage, and to treat displaced ACL intercondylar eminence avulsion fractures by correct reduction without separate fixation. This treatment method can achieve good short-term postoperative outcomes.
