Objective:The preliminary results was reported regarding the treatment of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fixation in the last decade, especially preventing recurrence of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fan-shaped fixation.Methods:We selected 12 patients who received emergency operation in Chongqing Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2010 to March 2022. All of them were made a definite diagnose of mesenteric torsion by the preoperative CT scan or exploratory laparotomy. The recurrence of mesenteric torsion will be prevented by taking the operation of mesenteric fan-shaped fixation. This technique is suitable for the patient who is suffering total mesenteric torsion, but enteric necrosis is excluded affirmatively. The operation is consists of the following progress: (1) Exploratory laparotomy to check for necrosis of the bowel and for lesions other than torsion. (2) Mesenteric torsion derotation.(3) Mesenteric linear fixation; the right posterior lower border of the small mesentery (terminal ileal mesentery) is intermittently sutured to the posterior peritoneum of the right lower quadrant to increase the width of the base of the small mesentery. (4) Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation, which is fan-shaped to the lower left and fixed in the posterior peritoneum, shortening the length of the mesentery and further increasing the width of the mesentery and posterior peritoneal fixation.Results:A total of 12 patients with mesenteric torsion were treated by operation for 15 times in all. Among them, 3 cases received resection of most small bowel were performed without recurrence; 3 patients received only derotation for a total of 4 times, 2 cases recurred, 1 of them recurred twice; 4 cases underwent derotation and mesenteric linear fixation,and 1 case recurred. Four patients with derotation and mesenteric fan-shaped fixation recovered well without recurrence.Conclusion:Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation may be an effective operative type to reduce or avoid postoperative recurrence of mesenteric torsion.

Objective To investigate the determinants of linezolid-associated neurological adverse reactions in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and develop a risk prediction model for such adverse events.Methods A prospective cohort study design was employed to select 120 patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis who received a chemotherapy regimen containing linezolid at Guangzhou Chest Hospital from April 2023 to January 2024 as the study population.Clinical data,adverse reactions,and plasma concentration of linezolid were collected during fasting and at 2 hours post-medication.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to identify factors influencing linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.Furthermore,a prediction model for such adverse reactions was developed,and its predictive efficacy and calibration ability were evaluated using ROC analysis.Results Re-treatment(OR=2.540,P=0.028),coexistence of cavities(OR=4.092,P=0.021),anemia(OR=10.921,P=0.005),and Cmin≥0.7665 mg/L(OR=6.813,P<0.001)are independent risk factors for the occurrence of linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.The prediction model,based on these four factors,exhibits an AUC of 0.851(95%CI:0.774～0.929),accompanied by a Youden index of 0.590,a sensi-tivity of 66.7%,and a specificity of 92.3%.Moreover,the prediction model demonstrates excellent calibration ability.(Hosmer-lemeshow χ2=8.719,P=0.273).Conclusion In MDR/RR-TB patients,the presence of cavita-tion,retreatment,and anemia may confer a heightened risk of linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.A risk prediction model incorporating these four indicators demonstrates significant predictive value for the occurrence of such adverse events.

Objective:To construct an information integration platform of hospital based on the health level seven(HL7)standard,and to apply it to patients with chronic pharyngitis,so as to improve the management level for them.Methods:Based on the existing in-hospital patient management system at Haian People's Hospital,a database-based component framework(DBCF)platform and a service-oriented architecture(SOA)were adopted to conduct design.Combined with the requirements of medical business of Department of Eye,Ear,Nose and Throat for the processing,management and application of the data of diagnosis and treatment of patients,the HL7 open information-exchange standard was used as standard information-exchange model of system to construct information integration platform of hospital.Finally,the seamless connection and interactive application between laboratory information system(LIS),picture archiving and communication system(PACS),etc.of hospital were realized,which could be used in the management for patients with chronic pharyngitis.Patients treated from April 2020 to May 2021 were selected as the control group(45 cases),and routine management methods were implemented;patients treated from June 2021 to July 2022 were treated as the observation group(45 cases).The hospital information integration platform based on HL7 standard was used for management,and patient satisfaction of the two groups was compared.Results:The information integration platform of hospital based on HL7 standard could realize shared management,medical management,quality management performance evaluation,decision support,public service and other functions.After the information integration platform was used in hospital.The satisfaction of patients significantly was increased,with a statistically significant difference(x2=10.497,P<0.05).Conclusion:The hospital information integration platform based on the HL7 standard can improve patient satisfaction and enhance the overall quality of ENT work in the hospital.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the prevalence and independent associated factors of vascular calcification (VC) in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients of stage 3-5.Methods:It was a single-center cross-sectional observational study. Non-dialysis stage 3-5 CKD patients ≥18 years old who were admitted to the Department of Nephrology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from May 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 with VC evaluation were enrolled. The patients' general information, laboratory examination and imaging data were collected. Coronary artery calcification (CAC), thoracic aorta calcification (TAC), abdominal aorta calcification (AAC), carotid artery calcification and aortic valve calcification (AVC) were evaluated by cardiac-gated electron-beam CT (EBCT) scans, lateral lumbar x-ray, cervical macrovascular ultrasound and echocardiography, respectively. The differences in clinical data and the prevalence of VC at different sites of patients with different CKD stages were compared, and the prevalence of VC at different sites of patients in different age groups [youth group (18-44 years old), middle-aged group (45-64 years old) and elderly group (≥65 years old)] and patients with or without diabetes were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the independent associated factors of VC for different areas.Results:A total of 206 patients aged (51±14) years were included, including 129 (62.6%) males. There were 44 patients with CKD stage 3 (21.4%), 51 patients with CKD stage 4 (24.8%), and 111 patients with CKD stage 5 (53.9%). CKD was caused by chronic glomerulonephritis [104 cases (50.5%)], diabetic kidney damage [35 cases (17.0%)], hypertensive kidney damage [29 cases (14.1%)] and others [38 cases (18.4%)]. Among 206 patients, 131 (63.6%) exhibited cardiovascular calcification, and the prevalence of CAC, TAC, AAC, carotid artery calcification, and AVC was 37.9%, 43.7%, 37.9%, 35.9% and 9.7%, respectively. The overall prevalence of VC in young, middle-aged and elderly patients was 24.6%, 73.6% and 97.4%, respectively. With the increase of age, the prevalence of VC in each site gradually increased, and the increasing trend was statistically significant (all P<0.001). The overall prevalence of VC in CKD patients with diabetes was 92.5% (62/67), and the prevalence of VC at each site in the patients with diabetes was significantly higher than that in the patients without diabetes (all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (every 10 years increase, OR=2.51, 95% CI 1.77-3.56, P<0.001), hypertension ( OR=5.88, 95% CI 1.57-22.10, P=0.009), and diabetes ( OR=4.66, 95% CI 2.10-10.35, P<0.001) were independently correlated with CAC; Age (every 10 years increase, OR=6.43, 95% CI 3.64-11.36, P<0.001) and hypertension ( OR=6.09, 95% CI 1.33-27.84, P=0.020) were independently correlated with TAC; Female ( OR=0.23, 95% CI 0.07-0.72, P=0.011), age (every 10 years increase, OR=3.90, 95% CI 2.42-6.29, P<0.001), diabetes ( OR=5.37, 95% CI 2.19-13.19, P<0.001) and serum magnesium ( OR=0.01,95% CI 0-0.35, P=0.014) were independently correlated with AAC. Moreover, age and diabetes were independently correlated with carotid artery calcification, AVC and overall VC Conclusions:The prevalence of VC in non-dialysis CKD patients of stage 3-5 is 63.59%, of which CAC reaches 37.9%, TAC is the most common one (43.7%), while AVC is the least one (9.7%). Age and diabetes are the independent associated factors for VC of all sites except TAC, while hypertension is an independent associated factor for both CAC and TAC.

Depression is a mental disorder with high morbidity, disability and relapse rates. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), a traditional Chinese medicine, has a long history of clinical application in the treatment of cerebral and mental disorders, but the key mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here we showed that GEB exerted anti-depressant effect in mice through regulating gut microbial metabolism. GBE protected against unpredictable mild stress (UMS)-induced despair, anxiety-like and social avoidance behavior in mice without sufficient brain distribution. Fecal microbiome transplantation transmitted, while antibiotic cocktail abrogated the protective effect of GBE. Spatiotemporal bacterial profiling and metabolomics assay revealed a potential involvement of Parasutterella excrementihominis and the bile acid metabolite ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the effect of GBE. UDCA administration induced depression-like behavior in mice. Together, these findings suggest that GBE acts on gut microbiome-modulated bile acid metabolism to alleviate stress-induced depression.

Objective:To describe the characteristics and change trends of incidence, mortality and disease burden of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Qingdao from 2014 to 2020.Methods:We analyzed the incidence data of AMI retrieved from Qingdao Chronic Diseases Surveillance System. The average annual percent change (AAPC) of morbidity and mortality of AMI were evaluated by using Joinpoint log-linear regression model. Disability adjusted life year (DALY) was used to estimate disease burden of AMI in Qingdao.Results:A total of 70 491 AMI cases and 50 832 deaths of AMI occurred in Qingdao from 2014 to 2020. The age-standardized morbidity and mortality were 54.71/100 000 and 36.55/100 000, respectively. During 2014-2020, the AAPC of age-standardized morbidity was 2.86% (95% CI: 0.42%-5.35%), and 4.30% (95% CI: 1.24%-7.45%) in men and 0.78% (95% CI: -0.89%-2.47%) in women, respectively. The log-linear regression model showed that age-standardized morbidity in age groups 30-39, 40-49 years increased rapidly, with the AAPCs of 8.92% (95% CI: 2.23%-16.06%) and 6.32% (95% CI: 3.30%-9.44%), respectively. The trend was also observed in age groups 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years in men, with the AAPCs of 11.25% (95% CI: 3.54%-19.54%), 6.73% (95% CI: 2.63%-10.99%) and 6.72% (95% CI: 2.98%-10.60%), respectively. There was no significant change in age-standardized mortality. The DALY rate increased from 7.49/1 000 in 2014 to 8.61/1 000 in 2020, with the AAPC of 1.97% (95% CI: 0.36%-3.60%). Conclusions:The age-standardized morbidity of AMI in men increased in Qingdao, especially in those aged 30-49 years, while age-standardized mortality rate of AMI was relatively stable from 2014 to 2020. The burden of disease of AMI increased in both men and women.

Background According to China's Labor Statistics Yearbook 2020, there were 113293 work-related injuries and 25092 work-related deaths in 2019. It is of great significance to enhance the courage quality of high-risk workers for the maintenance of personal health and the effectiveness of organizational work. Objective To revise the Physical Courage at Work Scale (PCWS) for its application in Chinese employees exposed to high-risk workplace. Methods A total of 1280 high-risk workers completed the revised PCWS for Chinese employees. Item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were used to analyze the scale's construction validity. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify the results of exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's α coefficient was used to verify the reliability of the scale, Pearson correlation analysis of the scale with Mental Quality Questionnaire for Armymen (MQQA) and Norton Courage Measure (CM) was used to verify the validity of the revised PCWS, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the discrimination for each factor of the revised PCWS. Results The results of item analysis showed that the correlation coefficients between the scores of all items and the total score of the revised PCWS were greater than 0.4. The exploratory analysis indicated that there were five factors including immediate danger,providing for family, confronting other's aggression, reporting violations, and contributing to society in the revised version. The confirmatory analysis indicated the five-factor model fitted well (minimum fit function Chi-square/degree of freedom, CMIN/DF=4.60; normed fit index, NFI=0.93; comparative fit index, CFI=0.95; incremental fit index, IFI=0.93; standardized root mean square residual, SRMR=0.05; root mean square error of approximation, RMSEA=0.07). The internal consistency coefficient of the revised PCWS was α=0.95. The correlation coefficients of the revised PCWS with MQQA and CM ranged from 0.11 to 0.28 (P<0.01), and the correlation coefficients between factors of the revised scale ranged from 0.35 to 0.72 (P<0.01). Conclusion The revised PCWS has good reliability and validity in Chinese employees.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of decitabine combined with chemotherapy in treatment of relapsed/refractory T lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL/ALL) with TP53 mutation.Methods:The clinical data of a T-LBL/ALL patient with TP53 mutation who had recurrence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) treated with decitabine combined with chemotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University in June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient, a 42-year-old male, diagnosed as T-LBL/ALL with TP53 mutation by comprehensive examination underwent sibling-matched donor allo-HSCT after a second complete remission. The patient relapsed 8 months later and was treated with decitabine combined with CLAG regimen to achieve complete remission again. And then, he had leukemia-free survival until now through maintenance treatment with decitabine.Conclusion:Decitabine combined with chemotherapy may be a safe and effective treatment option for relapsed T-LBL/ALL patients with TP53 mutation after allo-HSCT.
