BACKGROUND:Stand-alone oblique lateral interbody fusion has a high rate of complications of fusion segment sink.Oblique lateral interbody fusion with posterior fixation can provide stable support,but intraoperative position changes and double incisions weaken the advantages of this technique.Oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation can achieve one-stage decompression in the same incision,while the lateral internal fixation provides stable support. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the short-term efficacy of oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation in the treatment of single-level lumbar degenerative disease. METHODS:The clinical data of 34 patients with single-level lumbar degenerative disease treated with oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation were collected from May 2020 to October 2022.Among them,14 were males and 20 were females aged from 41 to 72 years at the mean age of(58.6±9.9)years.There were 11 cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis(Ⅰ°),7 cases of lumbar disc herniation with segmental instability,and 16 cases of lumbar spinal stenosis.Operation time,blood loss,and complications were recorded.Visual analog scale scores of lumbago,radiative pain of both lower limbs,and Oswestry disability index scores were evaluated before surgery,3 months after surgery,and the last follow-up.Dural sac cross-sectional area,intervertebral height,and intervertebral fusion were measured and observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The 34 patients were followed up for 14-36 months,with an average of(21.3±5.2)months.(2)The operation time ranged from 50 to 92 minutes,with an average of(68.5±11.1)minutes.Intraoperative blood loss was 50-170 mL,with an average of(71.6±25.3)mL.(3)Compared with the preoperative results,the visual analog scale scores and Oswestry disability index scores were significantly decreased at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up(P<0.001),and the maximum Oswestry disability index scores were improved by nearly 50％.(4)Bone fusion was achieved in all patients during half-year follow-up.The overall complication rate was 21％(7/34),including 1 case of plate displacement,3 cases of cage subsidence,1 case of psoas weakness,and 2 cases of anterior thigh pain.(5)It is concluded that oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases has the characteristics of less blood loss,short operation time,rapid postoperative recovery,and significant short-term clinical efficacy with the stable support to a certain extent.The long-term curative effect needs further follow-up observation.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of working memory (WM) in the cortisol-awakening response (CAR) and multiple object tracking (MOT) in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:92 children with ADHD (ADHD group) and 94 typically developing children (control group) were selected from January 2022 to October 2022. Salivary cortisol levels were detected and analyzed in all children at four time points after awakening. Children's WM and MOT performance were assessed by the 1-back and MOT paradigms, respectively. SPSS 26.0 software was used for t-test and Pearson correlation analysis of the data, and plug-in PROCESS model 4 of SPSS 26.0 was used for mediated effects analysis. Results:(1) ADHD group showed significantly lower CAR, 1-back accuracy and MOT performance((30.97±5.63), (81.33±10.64) %, (2.36±0.37)) than the control group((32.41±3.48), (91.19±7.12) %, (2.62±0.28))( t=-2.09, -7.22, -5.31, all P<0.05). (2) Pearson analysis showed that CAR was positively correlated with 1-back accuracy ( r=0.293, P<0.01) and MOT performance ( r=0.740, P<0.01). 1-back accuracy was positively correlated with MOT performance ( r=0.368, P<0.01). (3) WM partially mediated the effect of CAR on MOT in children with ADHD, accounting for 6.13% (0.003/0.049) of the total effect. Conclusion:Children with ADHD have deficits in MOT.WM plays a mediating role between CAR and MOT performance in children with ADHD.

Objective To verify the biomechanical stability of oblique lateral interbody fusion ( OLIF) combinedwith different fixation methods for treating degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) by three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. Methods The L1-S1 3D finite element DLS model ( Model 1) was established, and then the OLIF (L2-5) at 3 contiguous levels of fusion and its combination with different internal fixation methods were simulated, namely, stand-alone OLIF model ( Model 2), vertebral screw fixation model ( Model 3), unilateral pedicle screw fixation model (Model 4) and bilateral pedicle screw fixation model (Model 5) were established,respectively. Under upright, flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation states, range of motion (ROM) of fusion segments, as well as cage stress, internal fixation stress, and stress distribution were recorded and analyzed. Results Under six motion states, the overall ROM of fusion segments in Models 2-5 was smaller than that of Model 1. Compared with Model 1, the overall ROM reduction of Model 3 and Model 4 was larger than that of Model 2 and smaller than that of Model 5. Under flexion and extension, the overall ROM reduction of Model 4 and Model 5 was basically equal. Under left and right lateral bending, the overall ROM reduction of Model 3 and Model 5 was basically equal. Under all motion states, the peak stress of Model 3 and Model 4 fusion cage was larger than that of Model 5 and smaller than that of Model 2. The peak stresses of L2-3, L3-4 and L4-5 fusion cages in Model 3 increased by 5. 52% , 10. 96% and 7. 99% respectively compared with Model 5 under left lateral bending, and the peak stresses of L2-3, L3-4 and L4-5 fusion cages in Model 4 increased by 8. 70% , 7. 00% and 6. 99% respectively under flexion. Under all motion states, the peak stress of screw rod in Model 5 was smaller than that of Model 3 and Model 4, and the peak stresses of screw rod in Models 3-5 were the smallest in upright state. Conclusions The OLIF with unilateral pedicle screw fixation or vertebral screw fixation can provide favorable biomechanical stability of the fusion segment. The results provide some references for clinical application of OLIF technology in the treatment of DLS.

Objective:To discuss the diagnostic methods, clinical features and treatment options of bronchogenic cysts.Methods:A total of 86 patients with bronchogenic cysts and 5 patients with esophageal cysts and esophageal cysts were selected from January 2011 to May 2020 in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Harbin Medical University. There were 37 males and 49 females with bronchogenic cysts, aged 23 to 70(49.27±10.70)years old. According to the location of the disease, the patients were divided into mediastinal type(65 cases, 75.6%); intrapulmonary type(21 cases, 24.4%); bronchogenic cyst originating from the esophagus(9 cases, 10.5%).Results:The preoperative diagnosis coincidence rate was 9.3% in 8 cases. The rate of thoracoscopic surgery(59.3% in 51 cases), compared with the indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube after thoracotomy[(3.80±1.25) days vs.(4.97±1.54)days, P<0.001] and hospital stay[(7.08±1.75) days vs.(9.60±2.58)days, P<0.001] significantly shortened. 65 cases(71.4%, 65/91) were successfully followed up, with a median follow-up time of 34(2-111) months, and no recurrence was found. Conclusion:Bronchial cysts have no characteristic clinical manifestations, and it is difficult to make a clear diagnosis before surgery. Chest MRI has a great advantage in the diagnosis of cysts. For most cases, thoracoscopic surgery can achieve better clinical treatment results and has minimally invasive advantages. It is difficult to distinguish between bronchogenic cysts that originated in the esophagus and esophageal cysts, and there is no significant difference in clinical characteristics.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum sFas and sLOX-1 with occurrence and development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods A total of 52 patients definitely diagnosed ACS (ACS group) by coronary artery angiography (CAG) were enrolled,including 23 cases of unstable angina (UA group) and 29 cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI group),and contemporaneous 58 cases of non-coronary arterial stenosis confirmed by CAG were selected as the control group (NC group).The serum levels of sFas and sLOX-1 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with the NC group,the serum levels of sFas and sLOX-1 in the ACS group were increased,the serum levels of sFas and sLOX-1 in the AMI group and UA group were higher than those in the NC group,moreover which in the AMI group were higher than those in the UA group (P＜0.01).The serum sFas level in the ACS group was positively correlated with the sLOX-1 level (r=0.825,P=0.001),but both had no obvious correlation with the serum levels of CK-MB and cTnⅠ (P＞0.05).Conclusion High levels of serum sFas and sLOX-1 may be the risk factors of ACS.

Objective To explore the developmental tendency of eco-migrant children's extroversive behavior and the relationship between extroversive behavior and personality and family environment.Methods 856 eco-migrant children(aged 6-16)participated in the present longitudinal study.At first time the Child behavior checklist(CBCL),Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) and Family environment scale (FES) were used to assess their behavioral problems,personality and family environment.Participants' parents subsequently completed measures assessing behavioral problems every nine months for 27 months.Data were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling analyses.Results The scores of extroversive behavior in eco-migrant children were(10.09±7.11) at first time,(7.66±7.56) at the second wave,(8.54±7.49)at the third wave and(8.11±7.33) at the last time.During the longitudinal period,the descending trend of eco-migrant children's extroversive behavior was significant (β=-0.51,P＜0.05).The scores of psychoticism,neuroticism,family conflict,organization,cohesion and cultural factors were differently correlated with children's extroversive behavior (β=-0.67-0.32,P＜0.05).Family conflict predicted the developmental trend of children's externalizing (β=-0.46,P＜0.05).Conclusion During the longitudinal period,the level of eco-migrant children's extroversive behavior decreased,and personality and family environment have significant influences on it.

Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate whether video -assisted thoracoscopic surgi-cal( VATS) lobectomy is as effective as open thoracotomy lobectomy for complete dissection of the mediastinal lymph node(MLN).Methods Patients with clinical stage N0 lung cancer who underwent lobectomy between January 2008 and June 2013were retrospectively evaluated based on the LN station resected and lobectomy proce -dure used,and a resection ratio was calculated .Nodal stage and the proportion of patients ,from whom at least three MLNs and station 7were dissected and compared by lobectomy type .Results Of the 201 patients enrolled in the study,84 and 117 underwent VATS and open thoracotomy lobectomies ,respectively.The mean number of LNs dissected at station 3a was similar in the two groups (1.34 ±2.58 vs.1.52 ±1.78;P>0.05),but the re-section ratio differed(39%sv .63%;P <0.05).However,there were no differences at stations7 and 9R in terms of the number of LNs dissected or resection ratio for the right -sided approaches (P >0.05).There were no differences in the number of LNs dissected or resection ratio between the two groups for stations 4 L,5 L6, L,7 L, and9 L for the left-sided approaches .Only station 8L showed significant differences between the VATS and open thoracotomy groups in the number of LNs dissected (0.12 ±0.44 vs.0.46 ±0.71;P<0.05)and resection ratio (8%vs.36%;P<0.05).There were no differences in the number of LNs dissected or resection ratio between groups for station 7:82.1%of patients in each group had at least three MLNs and station 7 removed(P>0.05). The Kaplan-Meier 5-year survival was also similar between the two groups (log-rank test,P>0.05).Con-clusion VATS lobectomy is as effective as open thoracotomy lobectomy for the dissection of MLNs .Thus,VATS lobotomy resection will continue to be offered as the best choice for patients with clinical stage N0.

Objective Two-incision video-assisted thoracic surger relieved post operative pain when compared with open thoractomy ,while it is rarely reported worldwide ,most thoracic surgeons think it is hard to finish the complicated operation and it is not safe .We compared the safety between open and two -incision VATS.Methods Bwteen Febrary 2009 to December 2011 ,a total of 334 cases with clinical early -staged lung cancer of open thoracotomy were performed ,66 cases were completely performed with 2-incision VATS,17 cases were transferred to open thoracotomy defined as two -incision VATS assisted thoracotomy .We compared and ana-lyzed open thoracotomy with two -incision VATS in operating time ,and pre,post and total period of hospitaliza-tion,postoperative chest tube removal time ,postoperative complications .Results Operating time in the left lower lobe of both traditional open thoracotomy and two -incision VATS was 162.5 ±6.5 and 185.8 ±12.8 minutes re-spectively(P=0.1228),there was no statistical significance for the remaining parts of the lobectomy ,the operat-ing time of open thoracotomy was shorter than two -incision VATS.The overall complication and perioperative mortality rate of open thoracotomy and two -incision VATS were 10.2% and 15.0%(P=0.238),and 2.0%and 0.0%(P=1.000)respectively,there was no statistical significance.Conclusion The lobectomy and lymph node dissections for 2-incision VATS in treating clinical stage I lung cancer is feasible and safe .
