Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease with a rising incidence rate year by year. Treatment often relies on analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can lead to gastrointestinal damage with long-term use and the recurrence of symptoms. Chinese medicine has a long history of preventing and treating OA, with widespread application and fewer side effects. It offers unique advantages such as a broad treatment scope, multiple targets, and pathways. The effective components of Chinese medicine can reduce the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), relieve oxidative stress (OS) damage, and increase the antioxidant capacity of the body by interfering with the expression of biomarkers of OS response such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Through the modulation of signaling pathways such as nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), and osteoprotegerin (OPG), they downregulated the expression of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), thereby effectively relieving local joint inflammation, protecting chondrocytes and bone tissue, inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis, and further alleviating the progression of OA. Currently, there are still certain limitations in the medical research status and development trends of OA, necessitating the continued advancement of traditional Chinese medicine. This paper reviewed the literature on the regulation of OS response by effective components of Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of OA, providing new directions and ideas for future research.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period,9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals,of which 7 895(87.4%)were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140(12.6%)were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli( n=4 510,49.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae( n=2 340,25.9%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa( n=534,5.9%), Acinetobacter baumannii complex( n=405,4.5%)and Enterobacter cloacae( n=327,3.6%). The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%(2 095/4 452),21.0%(427/2 033)and 41.1%(58/141),respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were 1.3%(58/4 510)and 13.1%(307/2 340);62.1%(36/58)and 9.8%(30/307)of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination,respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)complex was 59.5%(241/405),while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 18.4%(98/534). There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions,with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA( χ2=20.489 and 20.252, P<0.001). The prevalence of CREC,CRKP,CRPA,CRAB,ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=11.953,81.183,10.404,5.915,12.415 and 6.459, P<0.01 or <0.05),while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions(per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan)than that in economically less-developed regions(per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan)( χ2=6.240, P=0.012). Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend,and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top,while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different,and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.

Osteoarthritis(OA)mainly lies in the lesions of articular cartilage and surrounding tissues,pro-ducing osteophytes and bone sclerosis,resulting in damage to the articular cartilage.The main pathological mechanism of OA rests with a large number of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory mediators produced by joint synovial lesions as well as pathological vascular growth at the junction of the synovium and cartilage,which may be one of the key reasons for promoting synovitis and cartilage damage.The OA mainly occurs in the knees,hips,hands and the spine.It is mainly manifested by chronic joint pain,swelling and stiffness,and limitation of motion seriously affects the functional activities of patients.The treatment of OA mainly relies on oral administration or intraarticular injection of drugs to relieve symp-toms.When OA develops to the middle and late stages,the action and life of patients will be seriously affected.There-fore,surgical replacement of joints is considered to ensure the basic life demands of patients.Studies show that traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatment has attracted widespread attention and application due to its unique advantages in pre-vention and treatment of OA.Janus kinase(JAK)/signaling transduction and transcriptional activator(STAT)signaling pathway may be one of the important signaling pathways that regulate the chondrocyte proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.Moreover,it is closely associated with intra-articular inflammatory response.The JAK/STAT signaling pathway regulates the expression of inflammatory factors and related proteins through TCM so as to reduce the inflammatory re-sponse and decrease the chondrocyte damage.It has an important reference value for OA treatment.In this paper,the roles and mechanisms of the TCM monomers and active ingredients and the Chinese herbal compounds in OA by regulating JAK/STAT signaling pathway and affecting related cytokine and protein expression levels have been reviewed,providing a new method and direction for TCM treatment of OA.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of endoscope-assisted and direct prosthetic augmentation mammaplasty through inframammary fold incisions.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent prosthetic augmentation mammaplasty through inframammary fold incisions in Chongqing Huamei Plastic Surgery Hospital from June 2021 to October 2022 were collected. At the same time, the clinical data of patients who underwent the operation under direct vision from June 2015 to May 2021 were collected as control group. The operation time, postoperative drainage tube indwelling time, length of hospital stay and postoperative drainage volume within 1-3 days were recorded in the two groups, and the incision healing, breast morphology and complications were collected. The data were processed by SPSS 26.0 software, which accorded with the measurement data of normal distribution with Mean ± SD, and t-test was used for comparison between the two groups. The data were presented as frequency and (or) percentage, and Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison between the two groups. When P < 0.05, the difference was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 169 female patients aged 21-48 years old were enrolled, including 71 patients in the endoscope-assisted group and 98 patients in the direct group. There was no significant difference in age, body mass index, prosthesis volume and postoperative follow-up time between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The operation process of the two groups was smooth, and the incisions healed by first intention after the operation. The operation time in the endoscope-assisted group was (123.5±13.5) min, which was slightly longer than that in the direct group [(111.5±8.1) min] ( t=7.20, P<0.001), and the postoperative drainage tube indwelling time[(2.6 ±0.7) d)] was significantly shorter than that in the direct group [(4.2±1.0) d] ( t=-11.58, P < 0.001). The length of hospital stay in the endoscope-assisted group [(2.8±0.8) d] was significantly shorter than that in the direct group [(4.6±1.3) d] ( t=-10.33, P < 0.001). The total amount of bilateral drainage in the endoscope-assisted group was (151.0±30.1) ml on the 1st to 3rd day after the operation, which was significantly lower than that in the direct group[(265.0±48.1) ml ] ( t=-17.62, P < 0.001). During the follow-up for one year, the breast shape and hand feeling of the two groups were good, and there was no infection, prosthesis rupture, displacement or exposure. The patients were satisfied with the results of the operation. The rates of capsular contracture, nipple-areola hypoesthesia and scar hyperplasia in the endoscope-assisted group were 0.7% (1/138), 0.7% (1/138) and 0 (0/138), respectively, which were lower than those in the direct group [2.7%(5/188), 3.7%(7/188) and 2.7%(5/188)], respectively, but the differences were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Both endoscope-assisted and direct prosthetic augmentation mammaplasty through an inframammary fold incision can achieve satisfactory results. The operation time of endoscope-assisted augmentation mammaplasty is slightly longer than that under direct vision, but the surgical trauma of that is less, the postoperative drainage tube indwelling time and length of hospital stay are shortened, and the amount of bleeding in the operation area is reduced.

Objective To explore the prevention and treatment strategies for pancreatic fistula and pancreatic fistula combined with hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods We retrospectively reviewed 90 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from August 2019 to December 2022.According to whether postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred,the 90 patients were divided into a postoperative pancreatic fistula group(n=35)and a postoperative non-pancreatic fistula group(n=55).Among the 35 patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula,they were further categorized into two subgroups based on the presence of hemorrhage:the pancreatic fistula with hemorrhage group(n=10)and the pancreatic fistula without hemorrhage group(n=25).Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used for univariate analysis.Variables with statistical dif-ferences were selected for stepwise regression variable screening.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for the occurrence of pancreatic fistula and postoperative pancreatic fistula with hemorrhage.Results All 90 patients successfully completed the pancreaticoduodenectomy.The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula was 38.9%(35/90).Significant differences were observed in pancreatic duct diam-eter(P=0.013),intraoperative blood loss(P=0.045),anastomosis type(P=0.045),and residual pancreatic texture(P=0.10)between the two groups(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that soft pancreas texture,pancreatic duct diameter<3 mm,intraoperative blood loss≥300 mL,and pancreaticojejunostomy were independent risk factors for postoperative pancreatic fistula.Among patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula,multivariate logistic regression analysis identified pancreatic fistula volume>100 mL and duration of postop-erative pancreatic fistula>7 days as independent risk factors for hemorrhage.Conclusions The risk of pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy is relatively high.Attention to preoperative pancreatic duct diameter and standardized evaluation of pancreatic texture can help identify postoperative pancreatic fistula.Careful hemostasis during operation and avoidance of early postoperative hemorrhage can reduce the incidence of grade B and C pan-creatic fistulas.Patients with pancreatic fistula should be warned of the occurrence of combined hemorrhage when the fistula volume is greater than 100ml and the duration of postoperative pancreatic fistula is greater than 7 days.
