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 evaluate the feasibility of transjugular transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) using the LuX-Valve Plus system (Ningbo Jenscare Scientific, China) for the treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation in real-world clinical settings.Methods:This prospective study enrolled 81 patients with severe ricuspid regurgitation (≥3+) who underwent TTVR with the LuX-Valve Plus system at the Department of Cardiology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University between May 2022 and March 2024. Among them, 44 patients were from a compassionate-use study, and 37 were from two premarket clinical trials. Baseline clinical data, preprocedural imaging, procedural outcomes, and postprocedural follow-up data were collected. The primary endpoint events included device success, procedural success, and 30 d composite adverse events.Results:The age of the cohort was (74.5±7.8) years, with 54 females (67%). Device success and procedural success rates were both 90% (73/81). Post-procedural tricuspid regurgitation improved, with a 6% (5/81) incidence of moderate-to-severe paravalvular leakage. The rate of permanent pacemaker implantation was 12% (10/81), of which 5% (4/81) had pre-existing indications for pacemaker implantation. Major bleeding events occurred in 10% (8/81) of patients, and the 30 d composite endpoint rate was 25% (20/81).Conclusion:TTVR using the LuX-Valve Plus system demonstrates promising feasibility for high-risk surgical patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation, effectively reducing or eliminating regurgitation with acceptable safety. However, challenges remain in reducing risks of major adverse events, including permanent pacemaker implantation and severe bleeding.

We reported the clinical manifestations,radiographic characteristics and prognosis of 1 case with Mycolicibacterium wolinskyi pulmonary disease,and provided a comprehensive literature review on this disease.Using"M.wolinskyi"OR"Mycobacterium wolinskyi"OR"Mycolicibacterium wolinskyi"as search term in PubMed database,CNKI and Wanfang database up to August 26 2023,40 reports were retrieved.32 cases from the literature and 1 case of our institution were used for review.A 59-year-old female presented intermittent hemoptysis since 2015.She was diagnosed with tuberculosis and clinical symptoms continued after anti-tuberculosis treatment.After multiple cultures of mycobacterium sputum and species identification in our hospital,M.wolinskyi was finally identified.She was diagnosed with M.Wolinski pulmonary disease according to clinical symptoms,computed tomography findings as well as bacteriological examinations.Combination therapy with Azithromycin,Moxifloxacin hydrochloride and Amikacin were administered based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Mycobacterium sputum culture became negative after 1 month treatment and kept negative,and the patient continued this combination therapy for 12 months after first culture negative.M.wolinskyi disease is exceedingly rare in medical institutions,and clinical symptoms are different depending on different location.Most cases were infected with skin,soft tissue or bone tissue infection after trauma or surgery,and a few cases were bloodstream infection.Most patients could have a good prognosis after proper treatment.M.wolinskyi disease is rare and clinically atypical,which may lead to long-term misdiagnosis.With the increase of aged or immunosuppressed population,the diagnosis and treatment of these rare non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections deserve more attention.

Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is a common and lethal manifestation of advanced gastric cancer, with a median survival of only 5-11 months. This consensus was developed by 30 experts from Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore) using the Delphi method and the GRADE evidence grading system. A total of 29 statements were formulated, covering the diagnosis and assessment of GCPM, indications for laparoscopic exploration and NIPS (normothermic intraperitoneal and systemic treatment), treatment regimens, prevention and management of complications, criteria for conversion surgery, and postoperative intraperitoneal therapy. The consensus aims to standardize clinical practice and improve the prognosis of patients with GCPM.

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.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

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.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.
