Objective:To evaluate the perioperative application effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) clinical pathway in percutaneous vertebro plasty (PVP).Methods:The clinical data of 274 patients who underwent PVP treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2023 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the different numbers of surgical segments: the single-segment group ( n=211) and the multisegment group ( n=63). Patients in the single-segment group underwent single-segment surgery, while patients in the multisegment group underwent surgery on ≥2 segments. The core points of the ERAS clinical pathway adopted in this study include perioperative education, pain management, early mobilization, application of "outfast", and joint guidance from the departments of nutrition and rehabilitation. Comparison was made between the two groups of patients in terms of visual analog scale (VAS) scores for low back pain at preoperative, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h postoperatively, and on the day of discharge; Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores preoperatively and on the day of discharge; time to first ambulation postoperatively, total length of hospital stay, postoperative length of stay, perioperative complications, and perioperative application of Opioid consumption. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups; count data were expressed as cases and percentage, and the Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. The VAS pain scores at each stage of the perioperative period were evaluated using repeated measures analysis of variance or generalized estimating equations. Results:Compared with that before the operation [(6.17±0.93) points, (6.29±0.83) points], the VAS scores of low back pain of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group at 2 hours after surgery [(3.09±0.82) points, (3.27±0.65) points], 6 hours after surgery [(2.60±0.79) points, (2.62±0.55) points], and 24 hours after surgery [(1.89±0.77) points, (1.97±0.72) points] and on the day of discharge [(1.72±0.71) points, (1.81±0.64) points] were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same stage, the VAS scores of low back pain in both groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The ODI scores of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group on the day of discharge [(24.21±2.35) points, (24.63±3.31) points] were significantly lower than those before the operation [(64.50±4.81) points, (65.52±4.08) points], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in perioperative complications and the proportion of Opioid drug application between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients with single-segment or multisegment OVCF, PVP surgical treatment under ERAS clinical pathway management can achieve immediate pain relief, early ambulation exercise, and satisfactory perioperative efficacy.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of preoperative positioning grid combined with CTA assisted design of anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) in reconstruction of soft tissue defects around foot and ankle.Methods:From May 2018 to December 2021, a total of 18 cases with soft tissue defects around foot and ankle were admitted to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University. The patients were 11 males and 7 females, aged from 32 to 78 years old, with an average age of 57.5 years old. Among them, 10 had chronic ulcer wounds, 6 had traumatic wounds, and 2 had postoperative wounds after malignant tumor resection. The sizes of soft tissue defect ranged from 6.0 cm×8.0 cm to 9.0 cm×13.0 cm, and the flap sizes ranged from 8.0 cm×10.0 cm to 11.0 cm×15.0 cm. Preoperative positioning grid combined with CTA three-dimensional reconstruction were used to mark the exit point of the perforator vessels in digital format, in order to restore the course of vessels and calculate the length of the vascular pedicles. ALTPFs were accurately designed based on the digitally reconstructed images, and then the ALTPFs were used to repair the soft tissue defects around the ankle. The flap donor sites were directly closed in stage Ⅰ. After the operation, all the patients were included in scheduled follow-ups at the outpatient department to observe the appearance of the recipient flaps and donor sites. The functional evaluation of the affected feet were assessed according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score.Results:All 18 flaps survived, and the wounds in both the recipient and donor sites healed in stageⅠ. Postoperative follow-up for the 18 patients were 5 to 36 months, with an average of 13 months. At the last follow-up, the appearances of the flaps were good without swelling, the donor sites had good recovery, and there was no obvious scar hypertrophy. The function evaluation of the affected feet were found at excellent in 10 cases, good in 6 cases, and fair in 2 cases.Conclusion:Preoperative position grid combined with CTA three-dimensional reconstruction can digitally mark the exit points and running courses of the perforator vessels. It is an effective method for accurate position of perforator vessels before surgery. It can effectively reduce the operation time, lower the surgical risks, and achieve a high survival rate of the flap, thus holding considerable clinical value.

Alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.)is the most important legume forage crop worldwide with high nutritional value and yield.For a long time,the breeding of alfalfa was hampered by lacking reliable information on the autotetraploid genome and molecular markers linked to important agro-nomic traits.We herein reported the de novo assembly of the allele-aware chromosome-level genome of Zhongmu-4,a cultivar widely cultivated in China,and a comprehensive database of genomic variations based on resequencing of 220 germplasms.Approximate 2.74 Gb contigs(N50 of 2.06 Mb),accounting for 88.39%of the estimated genome,were assembled,and 2.56 Gb contigs were anchored to 32 pseudo-chromosomes.A total of 34,922 allelic genes were identified from the allele-aware genome.We observed the expansion of gene families,especially those related to the nitrogen metabolism,and the increase of repetitive elements including transposable elements,which probably resulted in the increase of Zhongmu-4 genome compared with Medicago truncatula.Population structure analysis revealed that the accessions from Asia and South America had rela-tively lower genetic diversity than those from Europe,suggesting that geography may influence alfalfa genetic divergence during local adaption.Genome-wide association studies identified 101 sin-gle nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)associated with 27 agronomic traits.Two candidate genes were predicted to be correlated with fall dormancy and salt response.We believe that the allele-aware chromosome-level genome sequence of Zhongmu-4 combined with the resequencing data of the diverse alfalfa germplasms will facilitate genetic research and genomics-assisted breeding in variety improvement of alfalfa.

To investigate the clinical efficacy of one-stage repairing the wounds after excision of soft tissue malignant tumor in lower limb with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps. Methods From Au-gust, 2016 to July, 2018, 11 patients(8 males and 3 females; aged 35-76 years) with the soft tissue defects in the low-er limb underwent immediate reconstructive operations with DIEP flap after their tumor resection. The defects ranged in area from 11 cm×7 cm to 25 cm×10 cm after extended resection, including 5 cases of bone exposure. The DIEP flap area ranged from 11 cm×8 cm to 26 cm×18 cm.Among them, 9 cases were treated with free transplantation and 2 cases with pedicle transplantation.The donor sites were closed directly. The patients’ limb function, tumor recurrence and the healing of surgical incision had been followed-up. Results Eleven flaps survived and the donor sites healed directly. One flap had skin pigmentation due to postoperative vascular crisis, and the other flaps had satisfied texture and appearance. All patients were followed-up from 6 to 30 months. The lower limb movement was normal. All the donor sites had a good healing with no pain and abdominal complications. No tumor recurrence was observed during the followed-up period. Conclusion DIEP flap have many advantages, such as large cutting area, which is suitable for large-area wound repair after extended excision of soft tissue malignant tumor in lower limb. At the same time, the perforator vessel is constant and the caliber are thick, also the donor area is concealed and can be sutured directly.This kind of the technique for reconstruction of lower limb soft tissue defects after malignant tumor resection is well acceptable.
