Objective:To retrospectively analyze the gender differences in the clinical characteristics and perioperative outcomes of patients with type A aortic dissection in our institution.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, total 405 patients underwent surgical treatment for type A aortic dissection at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, including extensive aortic repair (total aortic arch replacement combined with stenting elephant trunk implantation) and limited aortic repair. In the entire cohort, male 295 cases, female 110 cases. All measures in this study were expressed as ± s or median(quartiles) and analyzed by Student t test for variables or non- parametric tests; count data were expressed as frequencies and percentages and analyzed by χ2 test and Fisher exact probability test. Independent risk factors were analyzed by logistic multivariate regression. Results:Females were older than males[(53.3 ± 12.4)years old vs. (47.1 ± 11.0)years old, P<0.001] and had significantly higher proportion of diabetes(9.1% vs. 4.1%, P=0.047) and previous cerebrovascular disease (11.8% vs. 5.8%, P=0.038). Females had a lower proportion of total aortic arch replacement combined with elephant trunk implantation (64.5% vs. 82.7%, P<0.001), while aortic cross-clamp time[168.0(144.8, 201.5) minutes vs. 190.0 (163.0, 217.0) minutes, P<0.001] and CPB time[99.0 (79.8, 118.0) min vs. 107.0 (91.0, 126.0) min, P=0.006] were significantly shorter than males. Females had significantly higher rates of pulmonary infection (14.5% vs. 5.8%, P=0.004) and stroke than males (15.5% vs. 8.1%, P=0.030). The difference in the proportion of postoperative deaths between female and male TAAD patients was not statistically significant (3.6% vs. 7.8%). Logistics multivariable regression analysis found that female was an independent risk factor for postoperative stroke ( OR=2.574, 95% CI: 1.198-5.531, P=0.015) and pulmonary infection ( OR=2.610, 95% CI: 1.180-5.772, P=0.018). Conclusion:Gender did not affect mortality after TAAD repair significantly, but females increased the risk of stroke and pulmonary infection after TAAD surgery.

End-stage renal disease is the final stage of chronic kidney disease, and research on palliative care for end-stage renal disease patients in China is still in its infancy. The research content of palliative care for end-stage renal disease at home and abroad mainly includes identification and management of symptoms, advance care planning, psychosocial and spiritual support, and ethical issues in dialysis decision-making. However, practical experience is still insufficient. By focusing on the overview, development status, patient needs, as well as implementation forms and models of palliative care for endstage renal disease patients, this paper summarized the research progress and application status of related research, with a view to providing references for future domestic research and clinical practice in this field.

Objective:To search and summarize the literature in the field of joint replacement tele-rehabilitation at home and abroad and carry out visual analysis to discuss the development status, research hotspots and development trends in this field.Methods:Based on the Web of Science index database, literature related to application of tele-rehabilitation in joint replacement was searched from the establishment of the database to December 31, 2022. The literature metrology and knowledge visualization analysis of tele-rehabilitation after joint replacement were carried out by using the cooperative network and co-occurrence network analysis function of CiteSpace visual analysis tool and the result analysis report of Web of Science database.Results:As of December 2022, a total of 1 042 articles were published on research related to remote rehabilitation after joint replacement surgery, with an increasing number of articles published year by year. From 2020 to 2022, the annual number of articles published exceeded 100. The United States ranked first in both the number of articles published (404) and the H-index (44). The journal with the highest publication volume was Journal of Arthroplasty (106 articles), and the author with the highest publication volume was Mont (22 articles). Research hotspots focused on rehabilitation content, outcome evaluation and intervention implementation forms. Conclusions:The application of tele-rehabilitation in the field of joint replacement is becoming increasingly widespread. Foreign countries have started this research field early, while China is still in its infancy, and it is urgent to enrich the implementation of intervention forms, feasibility and effectiveness evaluation. The content optimization of tele-rehabilitation program, the accurate evaluation of curative effect and the optimization of implementation approach are the future research hotspots, and the study of cost effectiveness of tele-rehabilitation is the future research direction.

Objective:To analyze the long-term outcomes of hybrid arch repair(HAR) treating aortic arch pathologies.Methods:Between January 2009 and January 2018, 87 consecutive patients underwent HAR for aortic arch pathologies at Beijing Anzhen Hospital. 76 were males. 2 cases were in zone 0, 46 cases were in zone 1, and 39 cases were in zone 2. The zones of the aortic arch were defined following the Ishimaru classification.Results:Five(5.7%) operative death occurred. 13 patients(19.1%) died during the follow-up. The overall survival rate was 88.4%, 83.3%, 83.3%, 49.8% at 1, 3, 5, 10 year, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional risk analysis showed that stroke( HR=20.626, 95% CI: 2.698-157.685, P=0.004) was an independent risk factor for short-term death. Stroke( HR=16.234, 95% CI: 4.103-64.229, P<0.001) and spinal cord infury( HR=11.060, 95% CI: 2.150-56.893, P=0.004) were independent risk factors for long-term death. Conclusion:In conclusion, HAR could be an alternative procedure for the patients that are not suitable for open repair under the premise of strict control of indications. In the future, the risk assessment system and uniform operational indications for HAR should be further established.

Objective:To establish the biology reference interval (RI) of peripheral blood procalcitonin (PCT) for children between 3 days and 6 years old in China.Methods:Totally 3 353 reference individuals with apparent health or no specific diseases were recruited in 18 hospitals throughout the country during October 2020 to May 2021. Reference individuals were divided into four groups: 3-28 days, 29 days - 1 year, 1-3 years and 4-6 years. Vein blood or capillary blood were collected by percutaneous puncture from every reference individual. The PCT level in serum and the capillary whole blood were assayed by Roche Cobas e601 and Norman NRM411-S7 immunoanalyzer. Outliers were deleted and 95th percentiles of every group were provided as RIs. Man-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test were used performed to assess the difference among different gender, age or method groups. Results:The difference of PCT distribution between male and female is not statistically significant, but the difference between serum and capillary whole blood is statistically significant. The differences between age groups are significant too. For Roche e601, serum PCT RI of 3-28 days group is <0.23 μg/L, 29 days - 6 years are <0.11 μg/L. For NRM411, Serum PCT RI of 3-28 days group is <0.21 μg/L, 29 days - 1 year: <0.09 μg/L, 1 - 6 years: <0.10 μg/L. For whole blood PCT, RI of 3-28 days group is <0.26 μg/L, 29 days - 6 years is <0.15 μg/L.Conclusions:Serum and capillary whole blood PCT have different RIs, however, capillary whole blood PCT testing is valuable in pediatric application. Children in 3-28 days show higher PCT levels than other age group. To establish the RIs and understand the differences among different groups are essential for the interpretation and clinical application of peripheral blood PCT testing results.

Objective:To summarize the surgical treatment strategy for aortic injury caused by trauma.Methods:From January 2009 to January 2018, 34 patients with TAI were treated in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. 10 had hypertension. 23 cases were males. There were 31 cases caused by traffic accidents, 2 cases were fall injuries, and 1 case was bruise. 9 cases were thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm, 6 cases were thoracic aorta, and 19 cases were aortic dissection. 29 patients underwent TEVAR and 5 patients underwent OR (2 patients with type A aortic dissection undergoing Bentall + Sun's procedure, 1 patient with type B aortic dissection and 2 patients with thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm undergoing stented elephant trunk procedure).Results:The follow-up time was (45.09±23.10) months. The mean age of patients undergoing OR or TEVAR was (44.80±20.57) years old, (45.93±11.01) years old; the mean operation time was(403.20±30.30) minutes, (105.72±27.76) minutes; the mean hospitalization (19.00±6.04), (5.76±3.08) days. There were no deaths in the two groups. 2 patients uundergoing TEVAR had left upper limb numbness.Conclusion:The treatment of patients with TAI should be based on the general condition, the classification of injury, the involving regions and anatomical features to choose different treatments. In addition, the long-term prognosis of patients remains to be determined.

Objective? To explore the correlation among muscle strength, muscle mass, muscle function and cognitive function of old people in a community in Beijing. Methods? From April 2018 to October 2018, we selected 192 elderly people aged 60 or over in a community in Beijing. Muscle strength was evaluated with the CAMRY electronic handgrip strength instrument EH101; mass of limb skeletal muscle was measured with body fat scale to calculate the relative skeletal muscle index (RSMI) of limbs; muscle function was measured with the 4-m walk test; cognitive function was assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). SPSS 20.0 was used to data statistics. Results? Among 192 subjects, the incidences of mild and medium cognitive impairment were 65.62%(126/192) and 12.50%(24/192) respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed that muscle strength, muscle mass and muscle function had correlations with cognitive function with statistical differences (r=0.384, 0.215, 0.458;P＜ 0.05). Muscle strength and muscle mass had strong statistical correlations with attention of cognition (r=0.319, 0.229;P＜ 0.05). Muscle function had strong statistical correlation with linguistic competence (r=0.392, P＜0.05). Muscle strength, muscle mass and muscle function all had correlations with attention as well as linguistic competence with statistical differences (P＜0.05). Taking whether cognitive function was normal or not as dependent variable, Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of cognitive function were ages, body mass index (BMI), body fat rate and RSMI. Conclusions? Muscle strength, muscle mass and muscle function had positive correlations with cognitive function among elderly people.

Objective    To evaluate the short- and middle-term outcomes of surgical treatment for distal aortic arch lesions using stented elephant trunk implantation combined with transposition of left subclavian artery to left common carotid artery. Methods    The clinical data of 14 patients with distal aortic arch lesions undergoing stented elephant trunk procedure with left subclavain artery transposition under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with antegrade selective cerebral perfusion from May 2009 to November 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. All of them were males with a mean age of 52±14 years ranging from 20 to 69 years. Hypertension was observed in nine patients, coronary artery disease in five and prior cerebral infarction in one. History of percutaneous coronary intervention was noted in one patient, history of Bentall operation in one, ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in one and endovascular aneurysm repair in one. Results    There was no hospital death. Concomitant procedures included coronary artery bypass grafting in two patients and plasty of the ascending aorta replacement in one. Mean duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay was 21±7 h and 43±19 h, respectively. All patients survived and were discharged. One patient was lost to follow-up and no patient died during the follow-up. Postoperative computed tomography revealed good patency of  the anastomotic site between the left subclavian artery and the left common carotid artery. Conclusion    Stented elephant trunk procedure with left subclavain artery transposition obtains satisfactory surgical results in patients with distal aortic arch lesions.
