Objective To analyze the incidence of congenital syphilis in four regions of China from 2005 to 2020 and predict its change trend, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of congenital syphilis. Methods The incidence data of congenital syphilis in eastern, western, central and northeastern China from 2005 to 2020 were collected. The annual change percentage (APC) and average annual change percentage (AAPC) were calculated by Joinpoint software, and the change trend was analyzed. The ARIMA model was established by SPSS26.0 software to predict the incidence from 2021 to 2025. Results From 2005 to 2020, there were 107 504 cases of congenital syphilis, and the incidence reached the peak in 2011, which was 0.90/100 000, and decreased to 0.09/100 000 in 2020. The incidence of congenital syphilis in the eastern, central, western, and northeastern regions of China decreased to 0.07/100 000, 0.06/100 000, 0.12/100 000, and 0.15/100 000 in 2020, respectively. Joinpoint regression analysis found that from 2005 to 2020, the incidence of congenital syphilis showed a downward trend in the whole country (AAPC=-8.68%, t=-5.18, P＜0.05), the eastern region (AAPC=-12.01%, t=-6.81, P＜0.05), the central region (AAPC=-5.45%, t=-2.09, P＜0.05), and the western region (AAPC=-6.05%, t=-3.00, P＜0.05), while the incidence in the northeast region was relatively stable (AAPC=-1.66%, t=-1.18，P＞0.05). The ARIMA (2,2,0) model was constructed to predict that the annual incidence of congenital syphilis from 2021 to 2025 would be 0.06/100,000, 0.03/100,000, 0.02/100,000, 0.01/100,000, and 0.01/100,000, respectively. Conclusion From 2005 to 2020, the incidence of congenital syphilis in China shows an overall downward trend. The western and northeastern regions are the key prevention and control areas, and the work of ^"eliminating mother to child transmission of syphilis^" needs to be continuously promoted.

Spinal surgical site infection (SSI), especially deep SSI after internal fixation is difficult in treatment, with long course of disease and poor prognosis. At present, there are many controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI, with unsatisfactory overall efficacy of its diagnosis and treatment. Besides, no diagnosis and treatment guideline based on evidence-based medicine has been in existence. To this end, the Spinal Infection Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Spinal Infection Group of the Spinal Surgery Branch of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medicine Association jointly organized relevant experts to formulate Evidence-based clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of surgical site infection in spinal trauma ( version 2024) based on an evidence-based approach. A total of 10 recommendations were proposed on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI, so as to provide a clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI.

Purpose: Transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS), as a non-invasive modality, has been clinically used as an alternative treatment for children with overactive bladder (OAB). We conducted a pooled analysis to explore the effect of TENS on OAB. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guideline was followed in this study. The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, as well as the reference lists of the retrieved studies, were used to find trials relevant for assessing the use of TENS to treat OAB. Results: Of the 246 records identified, 8 publications were analyzed in our study. Our analysis found that TENS resulted in a greater decrease of wet days/wk, daily voiding frequency, daily incontinence episodes, and daily number of voids than was observed in the control group. Furthermore, TENS-treated patients showed similar visual analogue scale (VAS) scores to patients in the control group, demonstrating that the application of TENS did not increase patients’ discomfort and pain. TENS had a relative advantage in the number of partial responses, but no clear differences were found in frequency of no response or a full response compared to the control group. In urodynamic testing, TENS led to obvious improvements in average voided volume and maximum voided volume in children with OAB. Conclusions TENS had a remarkable effect on the improvement of urodynamic indexes and objective OAB symptoms without a significant increase in VAS scores for children with OAB.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a widely distributed secretory protein and is involved in integrin-mediated cell signal transduction. It also plays an important role in the development, progression, and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). OPN plays a pivotal role in biomineralization and innate immunity, participates in tumor growth and angiogenesis by interacting with integrin, and induces the recurrence and metastasis of HCC via multiple signal transduction. Combined measurement of OPN and other tumor biomarkers can improve the sensitivity of early diagnosis of HCC. OPN inhibitors may serve as a new target for the treatment of HCC and can improve the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic drugs. This article summarizes the recent studies on OPN and introduces the biological function of OPN and its role in the progression and diagnosis and treatment of HCC.

PURPOSE: OnabotulinumtoxinA is used widely for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess its efficacy and safety for neurogenic detrusor overactivity treatment. METHODS: A systematic literature review was performed to identify all published randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of onabotulinumtoxinA for neurogenic detrusor overactivity treatment. MEDLINE, Embase, and the CENTRAL were employed. Reference lists of retrieved studies were reviewed carefully. RESULTS: Six publications involving 871 patients, which compared onabotulinumtoxinA with a placebo were analyzed. Efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment was shown as a reduction of the mean number of urinary incontinence episodes per day (mean difference, -1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.70 to -1.12; P<0.00001), maximum cystometric capacity (135.48; 95% CI, 118.22–152.75; P<0.00001), and maximum detrusor pressure (-32.98; 95% CI, -37.33 to -28.62; P<0.00001). Assessment of adverse events revealed that complications due to onabotulinumtoxinA injection were localized primarily to the urinary tract. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis suggests that onabotulinumtoxinA is an effective treatment for neurogenic detrusor overactivity with localized advent events.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical outcome of laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LUNT) for native upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UC) in renal transplant (RT) recipients.Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis on 1130 RT recipients,and 9 patients (0.8％,9/1130) with native upper tract UC were identified. UC was confirmed pathologically in the 9 patients,including 3 cases of unilateral ureter tumor (2 on the right,and 1 on the left),4 cases of unilateral renal pelvis tumor (2 on the right,2 on the left),1 case of bilateral ureter tumor and 1 case of tumor in the right ureter and left kidney.Females predominated (8/9) in the 9 patients with upper tract UC.The patients with left upper urinary tract cancer underwent LUNT using a retroperitoneal approach with a technique of transurethral circumcision of the ureteral orifice.The patients with right upper urinary tract cancer were subjected to nephroureterctomy with ureterectomy and bladder cuff excision by complete laparascopy through a transperitoneal approach. Immunosuppressive protocol conversion from calcineurin inhibitors to sirolimus was performed on all cases. Results In the 9 patients,11 LUNTs were performed successfully without conversion to open surgery.The follow-up period was from 6 to 48 months. One patient died of lung metastasis at 8th month after tumor excision,and 1 patient displayed ductal cancer of the left breast at 7th month after LNUT.Another seven patients showed no evidence of disease during the follow-up period with normal renal function.ConclusionOur present clinical experience suggested that LNUT for the native upper tract cancer in renal transplant recipients is feasible,safe,and effective.

Objective To evaluate the operative techniques and the methods of the renal function protection in laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery for the treatment of renal tumors.Methods Thirty-six renal tumor patients accepted transperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy at the 70 degree lateral decubitus position.There were 17 tumors in the upper pole,13 in the lower pole and 6 in the center of kindey.The mean tumor diameter was 2.6 cm(from 0.8 to 4.0 cm).Peke forceps were used to clamp the renal artery and achieve warm ischemia.Cold scissors was used to resect tumors and Hem-o-lok was used to clamp and control the artery bleeding in surgical bed instead of ligature when suturing the kidney parenchyma.Ulinastatin was used to prevent and relieve the ischemical reperfusion injury.The operative time,estimated blood loss,warm ischemia time,intraoperative and postoperative complications and the operative efficacy were recorded.Results All operations were completed successfully,no case was converted to open surgery.The mean operative time was 128 min(95 to 186 min),mean estimated blood loss was 130 ml (40 to 600 ml),mean warm ischemia time was 21 min(16to 28 min).There was no hemorrhage and urinary leakage after surgery.The post-operative renal function was normal in all the cases.The histopathological examination showed that 36 cases were renal cell carcinoma including 31 pT1a,cases and 5 pT1b cases.There was no positive surgical margin.The mean follow-up time was 16 months (from 6 to 30 months).There was no recurrence and metastasis found and renal function was normal in all cases during the follow-up.Conclusions Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery for renal tumors is a safe and feasible treatment option.This procedure can resect tumor safely and preserve renal function efficiently.The use of Hem-o-lok instead of ligature can significantly reduce the operative time.Ulinastatin can help reducing the ischemical reperfusion injury and thus preserve renal function.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, accuracy and its clinical value of MRI-guided needle biopsy of lung lesions. Methods A total of 137 patients with pulmonary nodules or masses underwent lung biopsy in low-field open MRI equipped with iPath 200 optical tracking systems. Among them, 103 cases had solitary pulmonary lesion; the other 34 cases had multiple foci. The maximum diameter of the lesion was not smaller than 3.5 cm ( ≥ 3.5 cm) in 57 patients, between 1.5 cm and 3.4 cm( 1.5-3.4 cm) in 71 patients, not greater than 1.4 cm ( ≤ 1.4 cm) in 9 patients. Results The puncture success rate was 100.0% (57/57) for lesions ≥3.5 cm, 98.6% (70/71) for lesions 1.5-3.4 cm,77.8% (7/9) for lesions ≤1.4 cm and 97. 8% (134/137) for total cases, respectively. According to the pathological results, pulmonary lesions were malignant in 98 cases and benign in 39 cases. The sensitivity,specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of MRI-guided lung biopsy were 94.2%(98/104), 100.0% (33/33), 95.6% (131/137), 100.0% (98/98) and 84.6% (33/39),respectively. Conclusion MRI-guided needle biopsy of lung lesion can be performed precisely in a lowfield open MRI with a low risk of complications. As a supplement to US or CT-guided biopsy, it is worth further promotion and application.
