Objective To explore the application effect of personalized osteotomy guide plate in high tibial osteotomy for patients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods A total of 99 patients with KOA who underwent open wedge high tibial osteotomy(OWHTO)in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a study group(50 cases)and a control group(49 cases)using a random number table method.The control group received traditional medial OWHTO treatment,and the study group received a combination of medial OWHTO and personalized osteotomy guide plate treatment.The indexes of operation and postoperative rehabilitation,serum inflammatory stress factor[C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),cortisol(Cor),adrenocorticotropin(ACTH)],anatomical structure of knee joint[tibial plateau posterior Angle(PTSA),proximal medial tibial Angle(MPT A),hip knee ankle Angle(HKA)],knee function,ACL shape and function,postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results The amount of bleeding,the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy,and the postoperative drainage volume in the study group were(138.69±24.03)ml,(4.83±1.07)times,and(228.95±38.72)ml,respectively,which were all less than those in the control group(154.28±27.16)ml,(7.15±1.14)times,and(271.61±42.19)ml.In the study group,the operation time,incision length,and hospitalization time were(40.96±7.28)min,(8.96±0.85)cm,and(10.73±2.05)d,respectively,which were all shorter than those in the control group[(52.31±10.12)min,(9.51±1.03)cm,and(12.16±2.37)d],with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The levels of serum CRP,TNF-α,Cor,and ACTH in the study group on the 3rd day after the operation were(31.36±4.68)mg/L,(26.71±3.84)ng/ml,(241.28±27.45)ng/ml,and(18.65±3.01)pmol/L,respectively,which were lower than those in the control group[(35.07±5.16)mg/L,(30.29±4.15)ng/ml,(279.65±30.12)ng/ml,and(21.73±3.28)pmol/L,respectively],and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The Hospital for Special Surgery(HSS)knee score and Knee Society Score(KSS)of the study group at 12 months after surgery were(81.24±6.85)points and(78.26±6.14)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the control group[(78.08±6.42)points and(75.53±5.82)points,respectively],with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05);at the 12th month after surgery,the width of the ACL body in the study group was(5.68±0.71)mm,which was greater than that in the control group[(5.12±0.64)mm].The amount of anterior tibial displacement was(5.81±0.43)mm,which was smaller than that in the control group(6.19±0.41)mm,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05);the incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was 4.00％,which was lower than that in the control group(18.37％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment of medial OWHTO and personalized osteotomy guide plate can reduce surgical trauma in patients with KOA,lower the incidence of complications,facilitate patient recovery,while maintaining the morphology and function of the ACL,and improving prognosis.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of comorbid diseases in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF)and the current status of their medical intervention.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using clinical data from AF patients at the AF center of Hainan Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between October 2020 and September 2022.The data included information on hospitalizations,diagnoses and treatments,health assessments,physical examinations,tests,laboratory results,and medication treatments.Descriptive research methods were used to analyze the clinical distribution characteristics,comorbid diseases,and stroke intervention status.A Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the impact of comorbid diseases on the type of AF.Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of comorbid diseases in AF for the development of persistent AF.Results Among the 667 AF patients,89.21%(595 cases)had comorbidities,with a total of 64 different comorbidity combinations observed.These combinations consisted of AF coexisting with 1-5 diseases,72.44%had 1-2 comorbidities.The top 5 most frequent comorbidity patterns,in descending order,were hypertension,hypertension and chronic heart failure,hypertension and coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure,hypertension and coronary heart disease,hypertension and diabetes.These 5 patterns accounted for 49.41%(294/595)of the total cases.All 8 diseases were associated with high abnormality rates in four key indicators:the CHA2DS2-VASc score,brain natriuretic peptide/N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(BNP/NT-proBNP),creatinine clearance rate(CCr),and left atrial diameter.The highest medication rates were observed for anticoagulants in valvular heart disease(84.62%),for antiarrhythmics in thyroid disease(70.97%),and for blood pressure control agents across all other diseases.For the 4 disease comorbidity combinations,the monitoring rates were highest for hypertension(100.00%)and lowest for diabetes mellitus(83.12%).The treatment rates were as follows:hypertension(highest 63.16%,lowest 60.91%),coronary heart disease(CHD,highest 73.96%,lowest 44.44%),diabetes mellitus(highest 75.29%,lowest 64.94%),chronic heart failure(highest 67.63%,lowest 62.50%).For stroke intervention in the 4 disease comorbidity combinations,the proportion of high-stroke-risk population was highest in patients with diabetes(98.46%)and lowest in those with chronic heart failure(92.18%).The anticoagulation therapy rate was highest in the chronic heart failure(56.25%)and lowest in the diabetes(46.88%).The proportion of patients with high bleeding risk was highest in the diabetes group(44.53%)and lowest in the chronic heart failure group(32.59%).Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that AF comorbid with coronary heart disease[odds ratio(OR)=1.499,95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 1.016-2.214,P=0.042],valvular heart disease(OR=3.362,95%CI was 1.473-7.674,P=0.004),and chronic heart failure(OR=1.903,95%CI was 1.309-2.767,P=0.001)were all independent risk factors for the development of persistent AF.ROC curve analysis showed that coronary heart disease,valvular heart disease,and chronic heart failure all had certain predictive value for persistent AF,with areas under the curve(AUC)of 0.538,0.536,and 0.572,respectively.Combined assessment demonstrated an AUC of 0.654(95%CI was 0.610-0.698,P<0.001),sensitivity 54.50%,and specificity 69.20%.Conclusions The distribution of high-frequency comorbidity combinations in AF patients is highly clustered and warrants focused attention.In this center,patients with comorbidities exhibited high abnormality rates in comorbid disease detection and elevated stroke risk scores,yet targeted interventions remain insufficient and require optimization.AF combined with coronary artery disease,valvular heart disease,and chronic heart failure were identified as independent risk factors for persistent AF.

Objective To investigate the histological and cellular bases for the improvement of portal hypertension(PH)by observing liver histopathological changes after treatment in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension,and to provide a basis for clinical drug development.Methods A total of 322 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis who completed 48 weeks of antiviral therapy or combined anti-fibrotic treatment in 20 hospitals across 12 provinces in China from September 2014 to October 2018 were enrolled,and the noninvasive diagnostic criteria for clinically significant portal hypertension(CSPH)from Baveno Ⅶ were used to assess the severity of PH;43 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CSPH were identified based on liver stiffness measurement(LSM)≥25 kPa before treatment,and according to whether the severity of PH was reduced by≥2 grades after treatment,the patients were divided into PH improvement(n=19)group and PH non-improvement group(n=24).Related data were collected,including demographic data,laboratory tests.Liver fibrosis were assessed,including HE staining and reticular fiber staining;liver microvascular lesions were assessed,including obliterative portal venopathy(OPV),nodular regenerative hyperplasia(NRH),and incomplete septal fibrosis(ISF).Single immunohistochemical staining was performed for von Willebrand factor(vWF),and fibronectin;multiplex immunohistochemical staining was performed for fibrinogen,CD32b,CD31,alpha-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA).The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups,and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.Results After 48 weeks of treatment,43 patients had significant improvements in red blood cell count,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index score,liver fibrosis grade,and PH grade(all P<0.05),among whom 19 patients showed a reduction in PH severity by≥2 grades(PH improvement group),while the remaining patients were enrolled as the PH non-improvement group.There was no significant difference in the outcome of liver fibrosis between the two groups(χ2=3.380,P=0.066).Microvascular lesion assessment showed that compared with the PH non-improvement group,the PH improvement group had significantly lower OPV severity,microvascular density(the expression level of vWF),and expression of fibronectin(all P<0.05),while there were no significant differences in NRH severity,ISF severity,and the expression level of fibrinogen between the two groups(all P>0.05).Cytological evaluation showed no significant differences in the expression levels of CD32b,CD31,and α-SMA between the two groups before and after treatment(all P>0.05),and comparison of the expression levels before and after treatment showed that the PH improvement group had a significant increase in the expression level of CD32b(t=-2.007,P=0.045)and a significant reduction in the expression level of α-SMA(t=2.628,P=0.013).Conclusion The pathological features of PH improvement are associated with liver fibrosis regression and the improvement in liver microvascular lesions,and at the cellular level,PH improvement is associated with the dedifferentiation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and the activated phenotype of hepatic stellate cells.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of comorbid diseases in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF)and the current status of their medical intervention.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using clinical data from AF patients at the AF center of Hainan Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between October 2020 and September 2022.The data included information on hospitalizations,diagnoses and treatments,health assessments,physical examinations,tests,laboratory results,and medication treatments.Descriptive research methods were used to analyze the clinical distribution characteristics,comorbid diseases,and stroke intervention status.A Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the impact of comorbid diseases on the type of AF.Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of comorbid diseases in AF for the development of persistent AF.Results Among the 667 AF patients,89.21%(595 cases)had comorbidities,with a total of 64 different comorbidity combinations observed.These combinations consisted of AF coexisting with 1-5 diseases,72.44%had 1-2 comorbidities.The top 5 most frequent comorbidity patterns,in descending order,were hypertension,hypertension and chronic heart failure,hypertension and coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure,hypertension and coronary heart disease,hypertension and diabetes.These 5 patterns accounted for 49.41%(294/595)of the total cases.All 8 diseases were associated with high abnormality rates in four key indicators:the CHA2DS2-VASc score,brain natriuretic peptide/N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(BNP/NT-proBNP),creatinine clearance rate(CCr),and left atrial diameter.The highest medication rates were observed for anticoagulants in valvular heart disease(84.62%),for antiarrhythmics in thyroid disease(70.97%),and for blood pressure control agents across all other diseases.For the 4 disease comorbidity combinations,the monitoring rates were highest for hypertension(100.00%)and lowest for diabetes mellitus(83.12%).The treatment rates were as follows:hypertension(highest 63.16%,lowest 60.91%),coronary heart disease(CHD,highest 73.96%,lowest 44.44%),diabetes mellitus(highest 75.29%,lowest 64.94%),chronic heart failure(highest 67.63%,lowest 62.50%).For stroke intervention in the 4 disease comorbidity combinations,the proportion of high-stroke-risk population was highest in patients with diabetes(98.46%)and lowest in those with chronic heart failure(92.18%).The anticoagulation therapy rate was highest in the chronic heart failure(56.25%)and lowest in the diabetes(46.88%).The proportion of patients with high bleeding risk was highest in the diabetes group(44.53%)and lowest in the chronic heart failure group(32.59%).Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that AF comorbid with coronary heart disease[odds ratio(OR)=1.499,95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 1.016-2.214,P=0.042],valvular heart disease(OR=3.362,95%CI was 1.473-7.674,P=0.004),and chronic heart failure(OR=1.903,95%CI was 1.309-2.767,P=0.001)were all independent risk factors for the development of persistent AF.ROC curve analysis showed that coronary heart disease,valvular heart disease,and chronic heart failure all had certain predictive value for persistent AF,with areas under the curve(AUC)of 0.538,0.536,and 0.572,respectively.Combined assessment demonstrated an AUC of 0.654(95%CI was 0.610-0.698,P<0.001),sensitivity 54.50%,and specificity 69.20%.Conclusions The distribution of high-frequency comorbidity combinations in AF patients is highly clustered and warrants focused attention.In this center,patients with comorbidities exhibited high abnormality rates in comorbid disease detection and elevated stroke risk scores,yet targeted interventions remain insufficient and require optimization.AF combined with coronary artery disease,valvular heart disease,and chronic heart failure were identified as independent risk factors for persistent AF.

Objective To understand the distribution characteristics and stroke risk of hospitalized patients in single center atrial fibrillation in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals for guidance in prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation.Methods A total of 667 clinical diagnosis and treatment data from Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine,Hainan Hospital from October 2020 to September 2022 in the data filling platform of China Atrial Fibrillation Center through retrospective investigation was collected[including hospitalization information,diagnosis and treatment,demographic information symptoms,European Heart Rhythm Association(EHRA),health assessment].Descriptive epidemiological methods were employed to analyze the distribution characteristics of different populations,and a Logistic regression model was used with CHA2DS2-VASc score as the dependent variable to analyze the risk factors of stroke in men and women with non-valvular atrial fibrillation respectively.Results Among patients with atrial fibrillation,valvular atrial fibrillation accounted for 5.85%(39/667),while non-valvular atrial fibrillation accounted for 94.15%(628/667).Persistent atrial fibrillation was the main type at 65.52%(437/667),with a higher proportion of patients in males than that in females(1.22∶1).The average age of patients was 75.14±11.23 years,mainly aged 71-80 years and 81-90 years,accounting for 33.28%(222/667)and 28.78%(192/667)respectively.Clinical symptoms mainly include palpitations(51.27%)and chest discomfort(45.43%),79.01%(527/667)of patients had EHRA symptom rating below gradeⅡ,while 20.99%(140/667)had ratings above gradeⅢ.The highest incidence of comorbidities of atrial fibrillation was hypertension at 64.62%(431/667),followed by chronic heart failure at 36.43%(243/667).The proportion of high-risk stroke population in the CHA2DS2-VASc score was significantly higher than that of the medium to low-risk stroke population[89.17%(560/628)vs.10.83%(68/628)].In contrast,the proportion of people with low risk of bleeding in the HAS-BLED score was significantly higher than that of people with high risk of bleeding[69.27%(462/667)vs.30.73%(205/667)].A univariate analysis was conducted on 628 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation by gender.The results showed that among 279 female patients with CHA2DH2-VASc score≥3 as the dependent variable,univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age,hypertension,coronary heart disease,cardiomyopathy,chronic heart failure,cerebrovascular disease,and thyroid disease between the two groups(all P<0.05).A total of 349 male patients with CHA2DH2-VASc score≥2 as the dependent variable,statistically significant differences were showed in age,education level,EHRA and whether had hypertension,coronary heart disease,chronic heart failure,cerebrovascular disease,and thyroid disease(all P<0.05)by univariate analysis.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the high-risk factors for stroke were age,systolic blood pressure,thyroid disease and cerebrovascular disease in women[female>75 years old:odds ratio(OR)=42.270,95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 9.130-195.800;systolic blood pressure>160 mmHg(1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa):OR=3.530,95%CI was 1.420-8.760,and thyroid disease:OR=0.140,95%CI was 0.040-0.460,cerebrovascular disease:OR=9.400,95%CI was 2.130-41.440;all P<0.05].While age,education level,systolic blood pressure,chronic heart failure,cerebrovascular disease,and thyroid disease in men were high-risk factors(male>75 years old:OR=81.270,95%CI was 27.730-238.210;education level:OR=0.250,95%CI was 0.120-0.530;systolic blood pressure>160 mmHg:OR=14.110,95%CI was 7.250-27.460;patients with chronic heart failure:OR=23.780,95%CI was 7.850-71.970;thyroid disease:OR=0.240,95%CI was 0.110-0.540;patients with cerebrovascular disease:OR=0.580,95%CI was 0.360-0.940;all P<0.05).Conclusions The proportion of male hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine,Hainan Hospital is greater than that of females.The majority of these patients are elderly,with an average age higher than recently reported.They face a more prominent of stroke,especially those with high blood pressure,chronic heart failure,cerebrovascular disease,and thyroid disease.It is crucial to strengthen targeted prevention and treatment efforts in this population.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the accuracy of prosthesis size selection in Naton robot-assisted medial unicondyle knee arthroplasty by comparing the actual prosthesis size used during operation and the preoperative planning. METHODS: The clinical data of 100 patients (110 knees) who underwent Naton robot-assisted medial unicondylar knee arthroplasty between June 2023 and July 2024 was retrospectively analyzed, including 47 knees on left side and 63 knees on right side. There were 37 males (40 knees) and 63 females (70 knees) with a mean age of 65.4 years (range, 59-71 years). Body mass index was 22.2-28.6 kg/m ² (mean, 25.4 kg/m ²). The disease duration ranged from 1 to 8 years (mean, 3.4 years). Preoperative planning was performed by Naton robotic surgical system based on lower limb CT data. The final prosthesis size after osteotomy was recorded and compared with the preoperative plan to analyse whether it was consistent with the preoperative plan, as well as the situation of knee flexion and extension gaps (<0.5 mm, >2.0 mm) corresponding to the different models of prostheses. RESULTS: During operation, 5 patients (5 knees) were treated with traditional UKA due to mechanical arm failure, software obstacles, significant bone amputation bias, or loose reference frame, and were excluded from the final analysis. The remaining 95 patients (105 knees) successfully received Naton robot-assisted surgery, and no related complications occurred. The prosthesis size was consistent with the preoperative plan in 101 knees (96.2%) on the femur side, 100 knees (95.2%) on the tibia side, and 97 knees (92.4%) on both femur and tibia sides. The prosthesis size was inconsistent in 3 cases (2.86%) on the femur side alone, 4 cases (3.81%) on the tibial side alone, and 1 case (0.95%) on both femur and tibial sides. Among the prostheses with different models, the flexion and extension gaps were less than 0.5 mm in 3 knees, the flexion gap was less than 0.5 mm and the extension gap was more than 2.0 mm in 3 knees, and the flexion gap was more than 2.0 mm and the extension gap was less than 0.5 mm in 2 knees.

Objective To analyze the population distribution pattern of inpatients in the China Atrial Fibrillation Center of Hainan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Clinical diagnosis and treatment(including hospitalization information,diagnosis and treatment,symptoms,health assessment,physical examination,examination,testing,therapeutic drugs),European Heart Rhythm Association(EHRA)symptom score,CHA2DS2-VASc score for predicting stroke risk stratification in atrial fibrillation,HAS-BLED score for predicting bleeding risk in anticoagulated were collected from Hainan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from October 2020 to September 2022 in the data filling platform of China Atrial Fibrillation Center through retrospective investigation.The normal reference values of various examination indicators set for analysis are heart rate 60-100 beats/min,QTc interval <480 ms for males and<470 ms for females,ejection fraction(EF)0.50-0.75 for B-ultrasound,left atrial anteroposterior diameter <35 mm,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD)<55 mm for males and <50 mm for females,no left atrial thrombosis,International normalized ratio(INR)0.85-1.20,brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)0-100 ng/L,N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)0-125 ng/L in cardiology,0-250 ng/L in non cardiology.Results Among 667 patients,there were 39 cases of valvular atrial fibrillation and 628 cases of non valvular atrial fibrillation.The completion rate of various diagnostic(physical examination/examination/testing)indicators was 19.94％-100.00％.Statistically significant differences were showed in every EHRA symptom score,HAS-BLED score,BMI,hypertension,heart rate,EF,left atrial diameter,LVEDD,left atrial thrombus,INR(Warfarin user),BNP,NT-proBNP and atrial fibrillation treatment methods(all P<0.01).No statistically significant difference was shown in CHA2DS2-VASc scores for each gender,QTc and NT-proBNP(all P>0.05).409 patients were treated with antiarrhythmic drugs,with a treatment rate of 61.32％.Statistically significant difference was showed in the proportion of medication use among different populations with heart rates of<60,60-100,and ≥100 beats/min,respectively[46.51％(20/43)vs.54.60％(196/359),72.83％(193/265),P<0.01],and the highest drug usage rate was β receptor blockers.Statistically significant difference was shown in the use rate of different antiarrhythmic drugs(P<0.01).There were 342 patients treated with anticoagulant therapy,with a treatment rate of 51.27％,the treatment rate of valvular atrial fibrillation was significantly higher than that of non-valvular atrial fibrillation[84.62％(33/39)vs.49.20％(309/628)],with a statistically significant difference(P<0.01).No statistically significant difference was shown in treatment rates between individuals with CHA2DS2-VASc scores of ≥2 for males and ≥3 for females of non-valvular atrial fibrillation,and between individuals with CHA2DS2-VASc scores of <2 for males and <3 for females,as well as between individuals with HAS-BLED scores of ≤2 and ≥3 for treatment rates(all P>0.05).Statistically significant differences were shown in the usage rates of different anticoagulants,antiplatelet aggregation drugs,blood lipid control(statins)drugs,and blood pressure control drugs(all P<0.01).The types of medication used for blood pressure control are angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI),angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker(ARB),calcium channel blocker(CCB),β receptor blockers and diuretics.The single drug composition ratio of the medication plan was the highest(39.75％),and the diuretics composition ratio of drug use was the highest(48.00％),with statistically significant differences(all P<0.01).Conclusions The operation of the Atrial Fibrillation Center of Hainan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has covered all clinical diagnosis and treatment projects,and the treatment plan is consistent with the guidelines.At present,the control of blood pressure,BMI,and heart rate of hospitalized patients needs to be further strengthened,especially the proportion of high-risk people with stroke,and there is insufficient anticoagulation treatment.The training of the guidelines should be improved to promote standardized treatment.

Objective To investigate some improvements in the surgical techniques of adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation( A-A LDLT) without the middle hepatic vein(MHV) for hepat-ic vein reconstruction. Methods The retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 11 recipi-ents who underwent the operation in A-A LDLT including the hepatic vein reconstructed in right liver lobe without MHV from June 2007 to January 2008. The key techniques included reconstructing out-flow of graft on shaping the tips of vena cava and right hepatic veins, cadaveric vein allografts stored in 4℃ UW solution within 7d being used for significant-sized hepatic vein reconstruction such as tributa-ries of the middle hepatic vein from V5, V8 and right inferior hepatic vein. Results 10 cases success-fully underwent reconstruction of outflow of graft on shaping the tips of vena cava and right hepatic veins and the outflow reconstruction ratio of V5, V8 and right inferior hepatic vein was 81. 8% (9/11), 7 one-vein reconstruction, 1 two-vein reconstruction and 1 three-vein reconstruction. 1 recipient died of renal failure and pulmonary infection 14 days after operation without venous outflow obstruc-tion. Doppler ultrasonography showed no thrombosis and the blood flowed smoothly in the right he-patic vein of other 8 recipients during the 9th to 15th mouth of follow-up. The cumulative patency rates of these 8 survivals for interposition vein grafts were 100% (11/11), 72. 7 %(8/11), 54. 5%(6/11) and 36. 5%(4/11) in 1, 3, 6 and 9 mouths, respectively. The regeneration of paramedian sectors was equivalent. Conclusion Shaping the tips of vena cava and right hepatic veins and using cadaveric vein allografts in adult-to-adult right lobe living donor liver transplantation for hepatic vein reconstruc-tion are both safe,simple and effective methods.This approach can be recommended.
