Background The staff in centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) were at a great risk for psychological distress when they were faced with outbreak-related prevention and control work and routine tasks during the COVID-19 period. Psychological resilience and burnout are two key influencing factors on psychological distress. Objective To explore the status and mechanisms of psychological resilience, burnout, and psychological distress among CDC staff. Methods From September to October 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in all CDC staff in Beijing, and 2228 CDC staff from 17 units (including 1 municipality-level CDC and 16 district-level CDCs) participated the questionnaire survey. The basic information questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) Chinese version, Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) Chinese version, and the 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (Kessler10) Chinese version were selected in our study. Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to analyze the differences in the scores of psychological resilience, burnout, and psychological distress by demographic and sociological characteristics. The correlations among the three elements were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Potential influencing factors of psychological distress of the CDC staff were evaluated by multiple linear regression. A potential mediating effect of psychological resilience-burnout-psychological distress was analyzed by the mediation package of R 4.2.0, and validated by Bootstrap method. Results Of 2228 questionnaires distributed, 2022 valid questionnaires were collected, and the recovery rate was 90.75%. The median (P25, P75) psychological distress score of CDC staff was 13.00 (8.00, 24.00), and the number of participants with psychological distress levels of 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 358 (17.71%), 546 (27.00%), 362 (17.90%), and 756 (37.39%), respectively. The median (P25, P75) psychological resilience score was 24.00 (20.00, 30.00) and the median (P25, P75) burnout score was 38.00 (25.00, 50.00). The results of the multiple linear regression showed that psychological resilience, burnout, caring for the elderly, having a chronic disease, and monthly income had independent influences on psychological distress (P<0.05), and emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced personal accomplishment (reversed) in the case of burnout had a great effect on psychological distress (P<0.05). After controlling general demographic characteristic variables, total burnout score exerted a partial mediation effect on the relationship between psychological resilience and psychological distress, with a mediation effect value of −0.439 (95%CI: −0.483, −0.397), and a total mediation effect contribution rate of 60.89%. The two dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion and cynicism) played a partial mediating role between psychological resilience and psychological distress, with mediating effect contribution rates of 42.44% and 41.41%, respectively. Conclusion Psychological distress among CDC staff in Beijing was prominent during COVID-19. Psychological resilience can act directly on psychological distress or indirectly on psychological distress through burnout. Both emotional exhaustion and cynicism dimensions of burnout have a partial mediating role between psychological resilience and psychological distress. Increasing psychological resilience and decreasing burnout may reduce the occurrence of psychological distress.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Most patients with spinal cord injury suffer from limb motor dysfunction. Given drugs, surgery and other conventional treatments are often not effective, the patients can only rely on a wheelchair to move or even lie in bed for a long time, seriously affecting their quality of life. Brain computer interface (BCI) technology provides a non-muscular pathway for the recovery of motor function in patients with spinal cord injury, which allows the patients to recover partial motor function through the normal function of their own non-diseased spinal cord or external mechanical devices. After decades of development of BCI technology, signal collection devices can identify and collect the motor signals of the brain more accurately, transform the signal by characteristic analysis, and implement the brain command by using the output device. A large number of experimental and clinical studies have also proved that the application of BCI technology in patients with spinal cord injury can partially improve the motor function of upper and lower limbs. Therefore, BCI technology has attracted more and more attention. The authors summarized the BCI technology and its influence on motor function rehabilitation in patients with spinal cord injury, so as to provide a reference for the rehabilitation of motor function in patients with spinal cord injury.

Myocardial dysfunction is the most serious complication of sepsis. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD) is often associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction, but its pathophysiological significance remains unclear. The present study found that patients with SMD had higher plasma gastrin concentrations than those without SMD. In mice, knockdown of the gastrin receptor, cholecystokinin B receptor (Cckbr), aggravated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction and increased inflammation in the heart, whereas the intravenous administration of gastrin ameliorated SMD and cardiac injury. Macrophage infiltration plays a significant role in SMD because depletion of macrophages by the intravenous injection of clodronate liposomes, 48 h prior to LPS administration, alleviated LPS-induced cardiac injury in Cckbr-deficient mice. The intravenous injection of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) overexpressing Cckbr reduced LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction. Furthermore, gastrin treatment inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression through the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) signaling pathway in BMMs. Thus, our findings provide insights into the mechanism of the protective role of gastrin/CCKBR in SMD, which could be used to develop new treatment modalities for SMD.

In recent years,mechanical thrombectomy has been the most important research progress in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction,especially the positive results of five endovascular therapy studies in 2015 has rewritten its clinical guidelines.However,the focus of these studies was mainly on the small vessel infarction(SVI),and the inclusion criteria of these studies include the following aspects:ASPECTS ≥6 points,Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score within 6 hours after stroke onset,the infarct volume<70 mL within 6-24 hours after stroke onset,and the presence of image mismatch or the presence of mismatch between clinical condition and perfusion imaging.The above studies excluded patients with ASPECTS<6 points or infarct volume ≥70 mL of large core infarction(LCI).With the continuous progress of the endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke(AIS),the mechanical thrombectomy therapy strategy has crossed from the"time window"to the"tissue window",meanwhile,the therapeutic goal of mechanical thrombectomy has also moved from treating SVI to a new era of treating LCI that has been a very hot topic recently.Whether endovascular treatment is beneficial for patients with LCI remains uncertain.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review concerning the relevant research progress in endovascular therapy for anterior circulation large core ischemic stroke,including the imaging determination and study inclusion criteria of LCI,the postoperative blood pressure management,and the factors influencing ineffective recanalization and prognosis.(J Intervent Radiol,2023,32:1256-1262)

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of bone cement leakage and recompression of injured vertebrae after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A case-control study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 297 patients with single-segment OVCF who underwent PKP in First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2017 to January 2021, including 67 males and 230 females; aged 60-92 years [(69.5±8.2)years]. According to the occurrence of bone cement leakage, the patients were divided into leakage group ( n=36) and no leakage group ( n=261). According to the occurrence of recompression of injured vertebrae, the patients were divided into recollapse group ( n=40) and no recollapse group ( n=257). The gender, age, fracture segment, type of fracture, fracture severity, cortical disruption, intravertebral cleft, preoperative and postoperative local kyphosis angle, correction value of local kyphosis angle, bone cement injection volume, bone cement distribution, and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment were recorded. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the correlation of those factors with bone cement leakage and recompression of injured vertebrae after PKP, followed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify the independent risk factors. Results:Univariate analysis showed that fracture severity, cortical disruption and bone cement injection volume were related to bone cement leakage ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Gender, age, fracture segment, type of fracture, intravertebral cleft, preoperative and postoperative local kyphosis angle, correction value of local kyphosis angle, bone cement distribution, and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment were not related to bone cement leakage (all P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that intravertebral cleft, bone cement distribution, and postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment were associated with recompression of injured vertebrae (all P<0.01). Gender, age, fracture segment, type of fracture, fracture severity, cortical disruption, preoperative and postoperative local kyphosis angle, correction value of local kyphosis angle, and bone cement injection volume were not related to recompression of injured vertebrae (all P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that severe fracture ( OR=4.23, 95% CI 1.52-11.81, P<0.01), cortical disruption ( OR=3.29,95% CI 1.52-7.13, P<0.01), and bone cement injection volume >8 ml ( OR=2.31,95% CI 1.09-4.92, P<0.05) were significantly related to bone cement leakage. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intravertebral cleft ( OR=2.10, 95% CI 1.03-4.30, P<0.05), solid type of bone cement distribution ( OR=2.56, 95% CI 1.25-5.27, P<0.05) and no anti-osteoporosis treatment after operation ( OR=3.06, 95% CI 1.46-6.40, P<0.01) were significantly related to recompression of injured vertebrae. Conclusions:For OVCF patients, severe fracture, cortical disruption, and bone cement injection volume>8 ml are independent risk factors for bone cement leakage after PKP. Intravertebral cleft, solid type of bone cement distribution, and no anti-osteoporosis treatment after operation are independent risk factors for recompression of injured vertebrae after PKP.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of shear wave elastography (SWE) in predicting pathological responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer.Methods:According to the postoperative pathological responses, 56 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical excision in the Fujian Cancer Hospital from August 2019 to September 2020 were divided into responders and non-responders. The relative change rates of tumor maximum diameter(ΔD2, ΔD4) and SWE stiffness (ΔEmax2, ΔEmax4, ΔEmean2, ΔEmean4) were assessed before NAC and after different NAC cycles (t2, t4). Clinical information, including age, T, N stages, ER, PR, HER2, Ki67, and molecular subtype were also considered as the variables. The independent influencing factors of pathological responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were obtained by logistic regression analysis and diagnostic test was carried out.Results:There were 23 cases as responders (41.0%, 23/56), and 33 cases as non-responders (58.9%, 33/56). Results of multivariate analysis showed ΔEmax4 and HER2 index were independent influencing factors of pathological responses ( OR=1.11, P<0.001; OR=31.81, P=0.002). Area under curve of the ΔEmax4 (AUC: 0.869, 95% CI: 0.746-0.941) was higher than that of HER2 (AUC: 0.690, 95% CI: 0.545-0.834). The combination of ΔEmax4 and HER2 gave the best prediction of pathological responses (AUC 0.930, 95% CI: 0.829-0.981). the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, postive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 78.26%, 96.97%, 75.23%, 94.73%, and 86.49%, respectively. Conclusions:ΔEmax4 and HER2 are independent predictors of pathological responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Combined ΔEmax4 and HER2 can improve the predictive diagnostic efficacy of pathological responses to chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the value of conventional ultrasound(US) combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in the diagnosis of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System( BI-RADS) category 4 small(≤ 2 cm) breast nodules.Methods:A total of 175 breast nodules in 175 patients from Fujian Cancer Hospital between September 2015 and August 2018 classified as BI-RADS category 4 breast nodules with maximum diameter ≤2 cm were evaluated by US and CEUS examinations. All nodules were examined by core-needle biopsy or surgical pathology.The collected ultrasound images and videos were analyzed by blind method. Stepwise Logistic regression was used to analyze the odds ratio of malignant nodules in ultrasound images, and the risk prediction score model was constructed according to OR value. The BI-RADS category was readjusted, and the diagnostic efficiencies before and after adjustment were compared with the ROC curve. Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratios of breast malignant nodules were non-circumscribed margin ( OR=3.32, P=0.052), calcification in the mass ( OR=7.42, P=0.002), architectural distortion ( OR=38.58, P<0.001), ductal dilatation ( OR=0.01, P=0.010), suspicious or abnormal axillary lymph nodes ( OR=10.92, P=0.003), enlarged lesion scope ( OR=3.38, P=0.040), penetrating vessels ( OR=10.79, P=0.006), and non-circumscribed margin after enhancement( OR=6.24, P=0.003). When the cut-off value was 3.5, the area under ROC curve, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 0.951, 87.80%, 89.20% and 88.57%, respectively. After adjusting BI-RADS classification and taking the adjusted BI-RADS category 4a as the biopsy threshold, the biopsy rate decreased from 100% to 58.86%, the cancer detection rate increased from 46.86% to 75.73%, and the risk of missed diagnosis was 2.29%. The area under ROC curve before and after BI-RADS classification adjustment was 0.838 and 0.937, respectively. Conclusions:US combined with CEUS can improve the diagnostic efficiency of BI-RADS category 4 small breast nodules and reduce unnecessary biopsy.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of color Doppler ultrasound images of breast lymphoma, and to improve the coincidence rate of ultrasound diagnosis.Methods:The color Doppler ultrasound images characteristics of 24 lesions in 21 patients with breast lymphoma in Fujian Cancer Hospital from June 2011 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the diagnostic coincidence rate was counted.Results:All the patients were female, 18 cases were unilateral, 3 cases were bilateral. ALL cases were confirmed as primary or secondary breast lymphoma by coarse needle biopsy or surgical pathology. Pathological types included 18 cases (85.7%) of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma, 1 case of Burkitt lymphoma, 1 case of Burkitt lymphoma or unclassifiable lymphoma with features intermediated between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma. The maximum diameter of the lesions was (5.7±2.1) cm (range 1.4-16.0 cm), and all lesions were solid in ultrasound images; 19 lesions (79.2%) were mass-type and 5 lesions (20.8%) were diffuse. According to the characteristics of internal echo, the lesions were divided into hypoechogenicity (2 lesions, 8.3%), hyperechogenicity packed with hypoechogenicity (12 lesions, 50.0%), and hyperechogenicity interweaved with hypoechogenicity (10 lesions, 41.7%). According to Adler semi-quantitative method, the blood flow of the lesions was 3 lesions (12.5%) in grade Ⅰ, 6 lesions (25.0%) in grade Ⅱ, and 15 lesions (62.5%) in grade Ⅲ. The detection rate of lesions by color Doppler ultrasound was 100.0% (24/24), but the diagnostic coincidence rate was only 41.7% (10/24).Conclusions:Most of the breast lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the lesions can be effectively screened by color Doppler ultrasound, but the diagnostic coincidence rate is low. Most of the breast lymphoma grows in the form of mass with abundant internal blood flow signals. When the ultrasound image of the breast lesion is hyperechoic packed or interweaved with hypoechoic, the possibility of breast lymphoma should be considered.
