Objective:To explore the effects of simultaneous transplantation of multiple foot flaps in repairing defects of varying degrees on the palmar side of multiple fingers.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From February 2020 to March 2023, 11 patients aged 23-52 years with defects on the palmar side of multiple fingers (with 38 affected fingers) meeting the inclusion criteria were hospitalized at Longgang Orthopedics Hospital of Shenzhen, including 8 males (with 31 affected fingers) and 3 females (with 7 affected fingers). All affected fingers sustained skin and soft tissue defects, along with exposed deep tissue such as finger bones and tendons, and 2 thumbs exhibited nail bed and distal phalanx defects. The defect area of each finger ranged from 1.5 cm×1.0 cm to 5.5 cm×3.0 cm. Foot flaps were designed based on the area and depth of the finger defects, and multiple foot flaps were transplanted simultaneously to repair the wounds of fingers. The area of single flap resected ranged from 2.0 cm×1.0 cm to 5.5 cm×3.0 cm. Donor site wounds were closed directly or covered using artificial dermis or split-thickness skin grafts. The number of resected flaps, the number of affected fingers repaired, and the surgical duration were recorded. The flap survival and foot donor site wound healing were observed postoperatively. The flap and donor and recipient sites recovery were observed during follow-up. At the final follow-up, the functional recovery of affected fingers was evaluated based on the trial criteria of the Chinese Medical Association's Hand Surgery Society for function evaluation of thumb and finger reconstruction, the sensory function of the flaps was assessed by the sensory function evaluation standard of the British Medical Research Council, the cold tolerance of the affected hands was evaluated with the Cold Intolerance Severity Scale, the scars at the recipient and donor sites were assessed using the Vancouver scar scale (VSS), and the function recovery of flap donor foot was evaluated with the Maryland Foot Score criteria.Results:Donor sites were selected from 16 feet with 2-4 flaps harvested from each foot. Specifically, skin and soft tissue defects in 27 affected fingers were repaired using free lateral toe flaps, skin and soft tissue defects in 9 affected fingers were repaired using free medial foot flaps, and skin and soft tissue defects with finger bone defects in 2 affected fingers were repaired using free toenail osteocutaneous flaps. The surgical duration ranged from 5.60 to 9.25 hours. Postoperatively, all transplanted flaps in affected fingers survived, and all foot donor site wounds healed. Follow-up for 12-25 months showed that the appearance, color, and texture of the flaps were similar to the surrounding normal skin. The affected finger pulp was full with the fingertip having restored pain and touch sensation. There was no pain in the donor site of foot, and the walking ability of patients was not affected. At the final follow-up, the functional recovery was evaluated as excellent for 36 affected fingers and good for 2 affected fingers. The sensory function rating of the flaps was graded as S3-S4, and all affected fingers were mild intolerant to cold. VSS scores of the scars at the recipient sites ranged from 1-3, and VSS scores of the scars at the donor sites ranged from 1-5. The functional recovery of all flap donor feet was excellent.Conclusions:Simultaneous transplantation of multiple foot flaps is an effective treatment method for repairing defects of varying degrees on the palmar side of multiple fingers, resulting in excellent aesthetic and functional recovery of the affected fingers while causing minimal damage to the donor site.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of benserazide on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice.Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,pirfenidone group(50 mg·kg-1),and low-dose and high-dose benserazide groups(300 and 600 mg·kg-1),with 6 mice in each group.Except for normal control group,the other groups were given bleomycin(3.5 mg·kg-1)by non-invasive tracheal instillation to establish a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis.Seven days after modeling,pirfenidone group and low-dose and high-dose benserazide groups were intragastrically administered the corresponding doses of drugs for 14 consecutive days.After the drug administration,the mice in each group were sacrificed.The pathological morphology of the lung tissue in each group was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.The content of hydroxyproline(HYP)in the lung tissue of mice,the content of lactic acid in the lung tissue and serum,and the activity of hexokinase(HK)in the lung tissue were detected by using kits.The expression levels of Collagen I and Fibronectin in the lung tissue of mice in each group were detected by immunohistochemistry.The expression levels of α-SMA,TGF-β1,Smad2,p-Smad2,TNF-α and IL-6 proteins in the lung tissue of mice in each group were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with normal control group,the lung tissue structure of model control group mice was damaged,with thickened alveolar septa and fibrotic changes such as collagen accumulation.The content of HYP and lactic acid and the activity of HK in the lung tissue increased significantly,and the expression levels of Collagen I,Fibronectin,α-SMA,TGF-β1,Smad2,p-Smad2,TNF-α,and IL-6 proteins were significantly increased.Compared with model control group,treatment with benserazide significantly alleviated the pathological damage of lung tissue in mice,significantly reduced the content of HYP,lactic acid and HK activity in lung tissue,and significantly decreased the expression levels of Collagen I,Fibronectin,α-SMA,TGF-β1,Smad2,p-Smad2,TNF-α and IL-6 proteins.Conclusion Benserazide ameliorates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice by modulating the HK2-mediated glycolysis pathway.

Objective To explore the value of deep learning(DL)model based on grayscale ultrasound for predicting asymptomatic advanced chronic liver disease(cACLD).Methods Totally 258 patients with asymptomatic compensatory chronic liver diseases were retrospectively included,among them 117 with F3 or F4 stage liver fibrosis were classified into cACLD group,while 141 with F1 or F2 stage liver fibrosis were taken as non-cACLD group.The patients were divided into training set(n=180,including 82 cases of cACLD and 98 cases of non-cACLD)and validation set(n=78,including 35 cases of cACLD and 43 cases of non-cACLD)at the ratio of 7∶3.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to screen independent clinical predictors of cACLD and construct a clinical model.Based on liver grayscale ultrasound,optimal DL features were extracted and screened,and Resnet50 network was adopted as framework,na?ve Bayes classifier was used to construct DL model,and a combined model was constructed based on clinical model and DL model.The efficacy and clinical value of each model for predicting asymptomatic cACLD were evaluated.Results Age,gamma-glutamyl transferase and platelet count were all independent clinical predictors of cACLD,and a clinical model was constructed.Totally 38 optimal DL features were screened to build a DL model.The AUC of combined model in training set and validation set was 0.950 and 0.740,of DL model was 0.944 and 0.737,respectively,being not significantly different(both P＞0.05)but all higher than that of clinical model(0.667 and 0.573,all P＜0.05).Taken 0.59-0.90 as the threshold,the net benefits of combined model in both training and validation sets were higher than that of other models.Conclusion DL model based on grayscale ultrasound could be used to effectively predict asymptomatic cACLD.Combining with clinical characteristics might improve clinical net benefit of this model.

Objective:To optimize the image quality of PET/CT following 90Y-selective internal radiation therapy ( 90Y-SIRT) using block-sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM) reconstruction algorithm, and to evaluate its impact of different β values on image quality and quantitative analysis. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 8 male patients with hepatic tumors (age: 62(52, 71) years) treated at Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua Medicine Tsinghua University, between June 2024 and January 2025. All patients were treated with 90Y resin microspheres (2.6(0.9, 3.6)GBq) and underwent post-treatment 90Y PET/CT liver imaging. Imaging data were reconstructed using BSREM with different noise penalty weighting factors ( β values: 0, 300, 1000, 1500, 2500, 3500, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000). Visual assessment was independently performed by two nuclear medicine physicians, using a 4-point scale (1=worst, 4=best). The mean score was considered as the final score. The consistency of the 2 reviewers was calculated and analyzed by Kappa test. Visual scores of different β value groups were compared by Friedman test. The β value demonstrating highest mean score and optimal consistency was selected as the optimal. Quantitative analysis was performed using MIM software to calculate the maximum absorbed dose ( Dmax) and the mean absorbed dose ( Dmean) for tumor, normal liver, and whole liver regions, and the CV was used to evaluate the impact of β values. Results:The visual assessment consistency of reviewers in 3 β value groups (0, 3500, 6000) were the highest (7/8) (all kappa=0.88, all P<0.05). Visual scores of the 10 β value groups were significantly different ( χ2=28.74, P<0.001), and the visual scores of 2 β value groups (3500, 4000) were the highest, both of which were 4.0(4.0, 4.0). Overall, visual assessment identified β=3500 as the optimal. Quantitative analysis revealed that, (1) Dmax in all regions (tumor, normal liver, whole liver) decreased with the increasing β values, stabilizing when β>1000 ( CV 56%-67%); (2) Dmean remained stable across different β values ( CV 0.04%-5.00%). Conclusions:In BSREM reconstruction, β=3500 is the optimal parameter for improving 90Y-PET image quality. β values significantly affect Dmax (stabilizing at β > 1000), but have no significant impact on Dmean, suggesting that reconstruction parameters primarily influence dose distribution morphology rather than average dose assessments.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.
