Objective:To investigate the differences in prosthesis implantation accuracy, biomechanical indicators, and 2-year postoperative clinical outcomes between robotic-assisted traditional posterior approach (RA-PLA) and robotic-assisted direct anterior approach (RA-DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients with unilateral femoral head ischemic necrosis or primary hip osteoarthritis who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were admitted to the Department of Orthopedics,Xinqiao Hospital, Army Medical University from May to September 2022. Divided into RA-PLA group and RA-DAA group through central randomization. Use cumulative and fitting methods to analyze the learning curve of robotic surgery and eliminate cases before the inflection point of the learning curve. Compare the abduction angle and anteversion angle of acetabular cup implantation between two groups of patients, as well as the rate of falling into the safe zone, the difference in length between the two lower limbs, hip joint eccentricity, rotation center height, the complete accuracy of prosthesis planning (the number of cases in which acetabular cup prosthesis, femoral stem prosthesis specifications, and neck shaft angle were completely consistent with surgical planning during surgery/total cases×100%), patient reported outcome indicators (including Harris hip score (HHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC), and 12 item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) score) and clinical outcomes. Data comparison was conducted using independent sample t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, chi square test, Fisher′s exact probability method, or repeated measures analysis of variance. Results:A total of 98 patients were included in this study, with 48 in the RA-PLA group and 50 in the RA-DAA group. After excluding cases before the inflection point of the learning curve, 30 patients were included in each group. There was no statistically significant difference in baseline data between the two groups before surgery (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the values of the anterior tilt angle and abduction angle between the two groups of acetabular cups compared to preoperative planning (all P>0.05). The proportion of patients who fell into the Lewinnek and Callanan safe zones was 90.0% (27/30) and 96.7% (29/30), respectively ( χ2=0.268, P=0.605). There was no significant difference in postoperative lower limb length, hip joint eccentricity, and rotation center height deviation and grading between the two groups (all P>0.05). The complete accuracy of prosthesis planning in the RA-DAA group was higher than that in the RA-PLA group (86.7% (26/30) compared to 63.3% (19/30), χ2=4.356, P=0.037).All patients were followed up for more than 2 years. In terms of postoperative HHS, WOMAC, and SF-12 score, there was no statistically significant difference in the inter group effect comparison (all P>0.05), but there was a significant statistical significance in the time effect (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications and adverse events between the RA-DAA group and the RA-PLA group (20.0% (6/30) vs. 13.3% (4/30), χ2=0.480, P=0.488). Conclusions:RA-DAA and RA-PLA techniques can achieve similar clinical efficacy after two years of surgery, and both can achieve similar reconstruction accuracy in terms of acetabular cup implantation angle, lower limb length, hip joint eccentricity, and rotation center height. The accuracy of prosthesis planning in RA-DAA is higher.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of whole blood cell derived inflammatory marker (including systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), neutrophil count/lymphocyte count (NLR), platelet count/lymphocyte count (PLR), and monocyte count/lymphocyte count (MLR)) and in combination with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with chronic heart failure hospitalized in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from January 2019 to August 2022 were enrolled. Patients were followed up and were divided into survival group and death group according to the follow-up results. Clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of each whole blood cell derived inflammatory marker for predicting all-cause death in patients with chronic heart failure. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and log-rank test was used to compare the difference in survival of chronic heart failure patients with different levels of whole blood cell derived inflammatory markers. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the effects of whole blood cell derived inflammatory markers and NT-proBNP on the all-cause death of patients with chronic heart failure. ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of whole blood cell derived inflammatory markers combined with NT-proBNP on the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure.Results:A total of 324 patients with heart failure aged (64.76±13.78) years were enrolled, with 212 males (65.43%). 297 patients (91.67%) completed follow-up, 27 patients (8.33%) were lost to follow-up. The follow-up time was 24.0 (18.0, 41.8) months. There were 258 patients in the survival group and 66 patients in the death group. The optimal cut-off values of SII, SIRI, NLR, PLR and MLR determined by ROC curve were 739.83, 1.65, 3.14, 151.95 and 0.37, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that patients with chronic heart failure with high levels of SII (≥739.83), SIRI (≥1.65), NLR (≥3.14), PLR (≥151.95) and MLR (≥0.37) had higher incidence of all-cause death than patients with low levels of inflammatory markers (all P<0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that age ( HR=1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.06, P=0.002), NT-proBNP ( HR=2.93, 95% CI 1.64-5.23, P<0.001), SII≥739.83 ( HR=3.27, 95% CI 1.18-9.02, P=0.022) and PLR≥151.95 ( HR=2.67, 95% CI 1.02-6.96, P=0.045) were independent predictors of all-cause death in patients with chronic heart failure. ROC curve analysis showed that the predictive value of SII and PLR combined with NT-proBNP ( AUC=0.850) for the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure was better than that of SII ( AUC=0.779)、PLR ( AUC=0.782)、NT-proBNP ( AUC=0.727) and CRP ( AUC=0.668) alone (all P<0.001). Conclusions:Whole blood cell derived inflammatory markers——SII, PLR, and NT-pro BNP were independently associated with all-cause death in patients with chronic heart failure. SII and PLR can independently predict the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure, combination of SII and PLR with NT-pro BNP has better predictive value for the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure.

Objective To investigate the mid- to long-term follow-up results of ascending aorta (AAO)-descending thoracic aorta (DTA) bypass grafting via median sternotomy incision for the treatment of complex aortic arch coarctation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with complex aortic arch coarctation who underwent AAO-DTA bypass grafting via median sternotomy incision at the First Hospital of Tsinghua University from August 2004 to May 2017. Results A total of 7 patients were enrolled, including 4 males and 3 females, aged (13.3±4.6) years, and weighted (40.2±12.2) kg. Six (85.7%) patients had concomitant upper limb hypertension. Four patients were aortic arch coarctation combined with intracardiac malformations, two were post-operative restenosis, and 1 was post-operative restenosis combined with intracardiac malformation. All patients underwent surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. There were no perioperative deaths or major complications. The pre-operative upper-lower limb pressure difference was (39.3±19.2) mm Hg, which decreased to (2.9±2.7) mm Hg post-operatively (P<0.01). The follow-up period was (14.9±5.9) years. There were no long-term deaths or artificial graft-related complications. Except for one patient who still had mild hypertension, the blood pressure of the remaining patients returned to normal. Conclusion AAO-DTA bypass grafting via median sternotomy incision for the treatment of complex aortic arch coarctation can effectively reduce upper limb blood pressure and the upper-lower limb arterial pressure difference, has fewer complications, and demonstrates satisfactory mid- to long-term efficacy.

Objective:To explore the relationship between depression, perfectionism and self-injurious function in adolescents with self-injury.Methods:A total of 6 149 adolescents from two middle schools were selected by multi-stage random sampling method to conduct a cross-sectional investigation, and 530 cases with self-injurious behaviors were screened out as the self-injury group, while the remaining 5 619 students served as the non-self-injury group.The self-rating depression scale, the Chinese-revised Frost multidimensional perfectionism scale, and the Ottawa self-injury inventory Chinese revised version were used for investigation.SPSS 24.0 software was used for descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation analysis, and the PROCESS 4.1 macro program was used for mediating effect test(model 4)and moderating effect test(model 7).Results:(1)The incidence of self-injury among adolescents was 8.62%(530/6 149), which was significantly different in gender( χ2=50.942, P<0.01) and grade( χ2=37.401, P<0.01). (2)The scores of depression(48(41, 55)) and maladaptive perfectionism(64(53, 76)) in the self-injury group were higher than those in the non-self-injury group(36(29, 43), 49(35, 61)), and the differences were statistically significant( Z=-23.233, -18.599, both P<0.01). (3)Adolescents with self-injury mostly had external emotion regulation(70.38%(373/530)) as the dominant function.(4)The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that self-injurious function was significantly and positively correlated with depression( r=0.382, P<0.01) and maladaptive perfectionism( r=0.356, P<0.01), and depression was significantly and positively correlated with maladaptive perfectionism( r=0.352, P<0.01). (5)Maladaptive perfectionism partially mediated the relationship between depression and self-injurious function( β=0.086, P<0.001), and the mediating effect accounted for 21.88%(0.086/0.393)of the total effect.(6)Gender moderated the first stage of the mediation pathway(depression→maladaptive perfectionism)( β=0.180, P<0.05), which indicated that depression had a stronger predictive effect on maladaptive perfectionism in women( βsimple=0.105, 95% CI=0.063-0.154, P<0.05). Conclusion:In the prediction of depression on self-injurious function, maladaptive perfectionism plays a partial mediating role, and this mediating effect is moderated by gender.
