The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To study the risk factors of unplanned reoperation within 30 days after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 207 patients who underwent LPD in the Lihuili Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University from February 2017 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were enrolled 118 males and 89 females, aged (65.1±11.1) years old. Patients were divided into the reoperation group ( n=15) and non-reoperation group ( n=192) based on whether unplanned reoperation was performed within 30 days after LPD. The risk factors of unplanned reoperation were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:The rate of unplanned reoperation within 30 days after LPD was 7.2%(15/207). The unplanned reoperation group exhibited a higher incidence of complications 80% (12/15), mortality 13.3% (2/15), and extended hospital stay (32.9±20.1)d compared to the non-reoperation group, which incidences of complications, mortality and extended hospital stay were 40.1% (77/192)( χ2=9.04, P=0.003), 0.5%(1/192)( χ2=8.28, P=0.004), and (17.9±8.6)d ( t=-2.79, P=0.014), respectively. Unplanned reoperation was associated with diabetes, intraoperative bleeding >130 ml, preoperative serum prealbumin <0.15 g/L, pancreatic texture and pancreatic duct diameter (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified diabetes ( OR=4.991, 95% CI: 1.431-17.415), preoperative serum prealbumin <0.15 g/L ( OR=4.06, 95% CI: 1.178-14.043), soft pancreatic texture ( OR=3.900, 95% CI: 1.146-13.272) and pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm ( OR=3.449, 95% CI: 1.009-11.789) as independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation within 30 days. Conclusion:Preoperative diabetes, preoperative serum prealbumin levels <0.15 g/L, soft pancreatic texture and pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm were independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation within 30 days after LPD.

Objective:To study the relationship between morphologic classification and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods:The clinicopathologic data of 125 ICC patients who underwent R 0 resection at the Ningbo Medical Center Li Huili Hospital from January 2011 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. This cohort consisted of 67 males and 58 females, aged 26.0 to 82.0 (63.5±9.5) years old. Based on the resected specimens, the patients were divided into the mass forming type, periductal infiltrating type and mixed type. The survival rates and recurrence-free survival outcomes of the patients among the three types were compared, and the risk factors that influenced prognosis were analyzed. Results:Using the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 16 patients with missing data and other causes of death were excluded from the initial 125 patients. Also, as the number of the mixed type was small, these patients were excluded. Finally 62 patients in the mass forming type and 42 patients in the periductal infiltrating type were analyzed. In the mass forming group, there were 32 males and 30 females, aged (63.1±9.1) years. In the perivascular infiltration group, there were 22 males and 20 females, aged (64.1±10.2) years. The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of the mass forming group were 78.1%, 33.2%, 18.9% (median survival 25 months). The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of the periductal infiltrating type were 63.3%, 8.3%, 6.1% (median survival 15 months). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). The median recurrence-free survival for the mass forming and the periductal infiltrating groups were 18 and 11 months, respectively, with a statistically significant differences between them ( P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that TNM staging Ⅲ~Ⅳ ( HR=2.966, 95% CI: 1.549-5.679) and periductal infiltrating type ( HR=2.403, 95% CI: 1.236-4.670) were independent risk factors for survival of these patients after operations. TNM staging Ⅲ~Ⅳ ( HR=2.466, 95% CI: 1.325-4.589), low grade differentiation ( HR=0.528, 95% CI: 0.299-0.934) and periductal infiltrating type ( HR=2.432, 95% CI: 1.295-4.565) were independent risk factors for relapse-free survival of these patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Morphological classification was found to be an independent risk factor for prognosis of ICC patients in this study, with significantly worse long-term prognosis when compared with the mass forming type.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of magnetic resonance (MRI) multi-b-value scatter weighted imaging (DWI) combined with spectral imaging (MRS) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.Methods:From November 2016 to August 2018, 33 patients with prostate cancer and 62 patients with benign prostatic lesions in the People's Hospital of Yongjia County were selected.DWI and MRS scans were performed and compared with pathological findings.Results:The DWI signal intensity of prostate cancer at the b value of 600s/mm 2, 1 000s/mm 2, 2 000s/mm 2 and 3 000s/mm 2 were significantly higher than those of benign prostatic lesions (all P<0.05). With the increase of b value, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of DWI in diagnosis of prostate cancer increased, under 3 000s/mm 2, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of DWI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were 87.88%(29/33), 82.26% (51/62) and 84.21%(80/95), respectively.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRS in diagnosing prostate cancer were 69.70%(23/33), 79.03%(49/62) and 75.79%(72/95), respectively.The (choline+ creatine)/(citrate) (CC/C) value of prostate cancer (2.50±0.94) was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic lesions (0.93±0.23)( t=12.519, P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of DWI at b value of 3 000s/mm 2 combined with MRS in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were 96.97%(32/33), 88.71%(55/62) and 91.58%(87/95), respectively. Conclusion:DWI combined with MRS has good application value in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Objective:To study the patterns of tocilizumab (TCZ) use, its efficacy and safety in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in routine clinical practice.Methods:A total of 407 patients with RA were enrolled from 23 centers and treated with TCZ within 8 weeks prior to the enrollment visit, and were followed for 6-month. The patterns of TCZ treatment at 6 months, the effectiveness and safety outcomes were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS version 9.4.Results:A total of 396 patients were included for analysis, in which 330 (83.3%) patients received TCZ combined with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), and 16.7%(66/396) received TCZ monotherapy. At baseline, TCZ was initiated in 56.6%(224/396) and 9.6%(38/396) of patients after failure of DMARDs and other biological agents (bDMARDs) respectively. During the 6-month follow-up period, the mean frequency of TCZ administration was (3.7±1.6), the mean TCZ dosage was (7.4±1.2) mg/kg, and the mean interval between doses was (40±13) days. 120(25.8%) patients were on TCZ treatment at the end of the study. Improvements in disease activity, systemic symptoms and patient report outcomes were observed at the end of the study. 22.7%(90/396) patients experienced at least one treatment related adverse event, and 8 patients experienced at least one serious adverse event.Conclusion:This study demonstrates that TCZ treatment is effective in patients with RA when being treated for 6 months with an acceptable safety profile. The duration of TCZ treatment needs to be extended.

The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has been increasing year by year. For most patients, surgical resection is not suitable when they are diagnosed as ICC. Conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy are not effective for the long-term survival rate of ICC patients and lead to the poor overall prognosis. In recent years, with the deepening understanding about the molecular mechanism of biliary malignant tumors, some key genes and signaling pathways related to the pathogenesis of ICC have been identified, providing new ideas for the targeted therapy. In this paper, major molecular mechanisms and targeted therapies of ICC are reviewed.

The function of drugs is based on the interaction between drug molecules and their targets.Qualitative analysis and quantitative detection of drug-target interactions run through the whole process from drug discovery to clinical practice.After decades of development, the study methods on the interaction between drug molecules and target proteins have been transformed from traditional biochemical experiments to a diversity of efficient and accurate technology systems supported by advanced molecular biology and biophysics theory.In this review, representative methods and techniques were introduced from aspects of target discovery and validation, affinity determination, interaction sites and structural analysis, which might provide some references for drug discovery and mechanism exploration.

Objective To investigate the CT features of early infection stage of thoracic and pulmonary paragonimiasis. Methods Medical records of 56 patients with thoracic and pulmonary paragonimiasis from January 2010 to June 2017 were collected, and the patients were diagnosed and treated at Yongjia County People's Hospital, and the results of laboratory examination and CT imaging features were analyzed retrospectively. Results The absolute value of eosinophils in peripheral blood of 56 patients was (5.61 ± 3.18) × 109/L, and the percentage of eosinophils was (35.90 ± 19.16)％, all of which increased to varying degrees. Forty-two patients had different degrees of pleural effusion and 52 cases with lung lesions. Lung lesions demonstrated one or several kinds of foci at the same time, randomly distributed in the lung field, mostly located in the sub-pleural lung tissue. There were 12 cases with pulmonary ground glass shadow, 4 cases with peribronchitis, 31 cases with pulmonary invasive lesions and 28 cases with pulmonary nodular/strip shadow. The size of most nodules were 0.5 - 1.0 cm, accompanied with halo sign. Conclusions The CT features of early infection stage of thoracic and pulmonary paragonimiasis are diverse. The size of 0.5 - 1.0 cm lung nodules with halo sign has certain characteristics in the diagnosis of paragonimiasis. Peribronchitis, infiltrative lesions, pleural effusion and increased peripheral blood eosinophil percentage can suggest diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of anterior controllable antedisplacement and fusion (ACAF) for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the cervical spine.Methods The data of 45 cases with cervical posterior longitudinal ligament ossification treated by ACAF from March 2017 to October 2017 were retrospectively analyzed,including 25 males and 20 females,age 45-68 years,average 57.5 years.There were 18 cases involving C3 vertebral body,30 cases involving C4 vertebral body,40 cases involving C5 vertebral body,34 cases involving C6 vertebral body,and 7 cases involving C7 vertebral body.The function of the neural function was evaluated by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scoring system at preoperation and latest follow-up.The curvature of the cervical spine was measured on the lateral X-ray film of the cervical spine,the maximum occupying ratio of the spinal canal was measured on the cross section of the CT scan,and compression of the cervical spinal cord was evaluated by the cervical MRI.Results Patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months (average,3.9 months).The improvement of neurological function was obtained in all the patients.The JOA score improvement rate at the latest follow-up was 71.3％±9.6％.The cervical lordosis was improved from preoperative 4.5°±3.8° to 10.3°±4.8° at the latest follow-up.The canal stenosis ratio was decreased from preoperative 54.3％±8.2％ to 12.5％±5.3％ at the latest follow-up.MRI showed that the cervical spinal cord was adequately decompressed in situ.No specific complications were identified that were associated with this technique.Conclusion The present study elaborates the surgical tips and demonstrates the satisfactory outcome of ACAF for the treatment of OPLL.This novel technique has the potential to serve as an alternative surgical technique for the treatment of cervical OPLL.
