BACKGROUND:At present,there are few reports on the postoperative efficacy of arthroscopic coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation and coracoid single tunnel fixation in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation at home and abroad.The specific clinical efficacy of the two procedures and whether there are other risks need to be explored. OBJECTIVE:To compare the short-term postoperative clinical efficacy of arthroscopic TightRope band plate fixation with single tunnel fixation of the coracoid process and tunnel-free suspension fixation of the coracoid process in the treatment of acute type Ⅲ-Ⅴ acromioclavicular joint dislocation. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed in 45 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation who met the inclusion criteria admitted to the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2019 to September 2022,and were divided into coracoid single tunnel fixation group(20 cases)and coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group(25 cases)according to the surgical treatment plan.Operation time,incision length,blood loss,Constant-Murley score,visual analogue scale score,the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons(ASES)score and intraoperative and postoperative complications of the shoulder joint before operation,3 months after surgery and the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All patients successfully completed the operation,and there was no important nerve or blood vessel damage during the operation.The operation time of the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group was significantly shorter than that of the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and incision length between the two groups(P>0.05).All patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months,with an average of(15.29±2.73)months.In the coracoid single tunnel fixation group,at 3 months after operation and the final follow-up,the visual analogue scale score was significantly lower than the preoperative score(P<0.05);Constant-Murley score and ASES score were significantly increased compared with the preoperative values(P<0.05).In the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group,at 3 months after operation and the final follow-up,the visual analogue scale score was significantly lower than the preoperative score(P<0.05);the Constant-Murley score and the ASES score were both significantly higher than the preoperative scores(P<0.05).At 3 months after operation,the Constant-Murley score of the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group was higher than that of the coracoid single tunnel fixation group(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in visual analogue scale and ASES scores between the two groups(P>0.05).There was also no significant difference in the visual analogue scale,Constant-Murley,and ASES scores between the two groups at the corresponding time points before surgery and at the final follow-up(P>0.05).Intraoperative and postoperative complications:In the coracoid single tunnel fixation group,there was one case of coracoid cortical rupture and fracture during the tunnel drilling during the operation,and one case of a loss of reduction at 3 months after operation,which was repositioned and fixed with hook plate transposition of the coracoacromial ligament.All patients had good acromioclavicular joint function recovery and no re-dislocation at the final follow-up.All patients in the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group did not suffer from coracoid fractures,loss of reduction and other complications during surgery,postoperatively and at the last follow-up.To conclude,these two arthroscopic treatments for acute type Ⅲ-Ⅴ acromioclavicular joint dislocation have the advantages of less trauma,reliable reduction and fixation,and good recovery of shoulder joint function after operation.However,compared with the coracoid single tunnel technique,the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation requires shorter time,faster recovery of shoulder joint function in the short term,and avoids the establishment of bone tunnels on the coracoid process,which reduces the probability of iatrogenic fracture of the coracoid process during operation and provides a higher degree of safety.

Objective To investigate the association between intraoperative hypotension and post-operative acute kidney injury(AKI)in patients undergoing brain tumor resections.Methods A total of 428 patients undergoing elective craniotomy for tumor resection were selected,276 males and 152 females,aged≥18 years,BMI 15-36 kg/m2,ASA physical statusⅡ orⅢ.Based on postoperative occurrence of AKI,the patients were divided into two groups:the AKI group and the control group.This study defined three thresholds for hypotension,including MAP during surgery below 65 mmHg,60 mmHg,and 55 mmHg.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative AKI under three thresholds.Results A total of 107 patients had postoperative AKI.The re-sults of multivariable regression analysis indicated that intraoperative MAP＜65 mmHg(OR = 1.11,95%CI 1.03-1.20,P = 0.010)and intraoperative MAP＜60 mmHg(OR = 1.12,95%CI 1.02-1.23,P = 0.017)were associated with postoperative AKI.Conclusion Intraoperative MAP＜65 mmHg or 60 mmHg is associated with postoperative AKI in patients undergoing brain tumor resection.

BACKGROUND:Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease with plaque biofilm as the main pathogenic material,which occurs in the gingiva,periodontal ligament,alveolar bone and cementum.The antigen of bacterial complex and its secreted toxin and enzyme directly lead to the destruction of periodontal tissue and trigger the host's immune response,causing indirect damage to the body tissue.Silence information regulatory factors(Sirtuins,SIRTs)play an important role in anti-aging,anti-oxidative stress,regulating inflammation,and mediating autophagy,and are closely related to the occurrence and development of periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To review the research status of Sirtuins in periodontitis. METHODS:The first author used the computer to search the relevant research regarding the role of Sirtuins in periodontitis in PubMed,Web of Scene,CNKI and WanFang databases.The key words were"Sirtuins,Sirtuin1-7,periodontitis"in English and Chinese.After literature screening,57 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:SIRT1,SIRT2,SIRT3,and SIRT6 participate in regulating the occurrence and development of periodontitis.Inhibition of SIRT1 expression may be the target of periodontitis treatment,while overexpression of SIRT1 can inhibit periodontitis and protect periodontal tissue.The activator of SIRT1 can reduce the inflammation of periodontal tissue and improve the systemic pathological changes caused by periodontitis.SIRT2 is involved in nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase-mediated periodontal inflammation and plays a role in the treatment and prognosis of periodontal diseases.SIRT3 can improve age-related periodontal disease.Gastrodin promotes the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells through the up-regulation of SIRT3.The activator of SIRT3 reduces the damage of periodontitis to periodontal and renal tissues by regulating the level of autophagy in the cells.SIRT6 can inhibit the inflammatory reaction of periodontal tissue and inhibit the differentiation and mineralization of cementoblasts.SIRT6 is beneficial to the prognosis of periapical periodontitis.The relationship between SIRT4,SIRT5,SIRT7 and periodontitis is rarely reported.

Objective:To explore the association between occupational noise perception and cardiovascular disease (CVD), depression symptoms, as well as their comorbidity in occupational population and provide evidence for the prevention and control of physical and mental illnesses.Methods:A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, based on baseline data in population in 28 prefectures in Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province, and 33 districts (counties) in Chongqing municipality from Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. during October to December 2021. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information about noise perception, depressive symptoms, and the history of CVD. Latent profile analysis model was used to determine identify noise perception type, and multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between different occupational noise perception types and CVD, depression symptoms and their comorbidity.Results:A total of 30 509 participants were included, the mean age was (36.6±10.5) years, and men accounted for 82.0%. The direct perception of occupational noise, psychological effects and hearing/sleep impact of occupational noise increased the risk for CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity. By using latent profile analysis, occupational noise perception was classified into four levels: low, medium, high, and very high. As the level of noise perception increased, the association with CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity increased. In fact, very high level occupational noise perception were found to increase the risk for CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity by 2.14 (95% CI: 1.73-2.65) times, 8.80 (95% CI: 7.91-9.78) times, and 17.02 (95% CI: 12.78-22.66) times respectively compared with low-level occupational noise perception. Conclusions:Different types of occupational noise perception are associated with CVD and depression symptom, especially in the form of CVD complicated with depression symptom. Furthermore, the intensity of occupational noise in the work environment should be reduced to lower the risk for physical and mental health.

Objective:To investigate the association between alcohol consumption and hypertension and SBP, DBP and the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and lipid level in occupational population, and provide reference for the intervention and prevention of hypertension.Methods:Based on the data of Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd., the information about the demographic characteristics, behavior and lifestyle, blood pressure and lipids level of the participants were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination and blood biochemical test. Logistic/linear regression was used to analyze the association between alcohol consumption and hypertension, SBP and DBP. The individual and joint mediating effects of BMI, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, and TC were explored through causal mediating analysis. A network analysis was used to explore the correlation between alcohol consumption, BMI and lipid levels, and hypertension.Results:A total of 22 887 participants were included, in whom 1 825 had newly detected hypertension. Logistic regression analysis found that current/former drinkers had a 33% increase of risk for hypertension compared with never-drinkers ( OR=1.33, 95% CI:1.19-1.48). Similarly, alcohol consumption could increase SBP ( β=1.05, 95% CI:0.69-1.40) and DBP ( β=1.10, 95% CI:0.83-1.38). Overall, BMI and lipid levels could mediate the associations between alcohol consumption and hypertension, SBP and DBP by 21.91%, 28.40% and 22.64%, respectively. BMI and TG were the main mediators, and they were also the two nodes with the highest edge weight and bridge strength centrality in the network of alcohol consumption, BMI, lipid levels and hypertension. Conclusions:Alcohol consumption was associated with increased risk for hypertension, and BMI and TG were important mediators and key nodes in the network. It is suggested that paying attention to the alcohol consumption, BMI and TG might help prevent hypertension in occupational population.

AIM:To observe the anti-scarring effects and safety of triamcinolone acetonide(TA)-loaded hydrogel sustained-release sheeting on stab incision glaucoma surgery(SIGS)with “one-step tunnel method” in rabbit eyes.METHODS:A total of 48 healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly selected and divided into 4 groups(12 rabbits in each group), trabeculectomy(Trab)group, SIGS group, polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel(PVAH)sheeting was implanted under the conjunctiva flap during SIGS(PVAH group), and hydrogel sustained-release sheeting loaded with TA was implanted under the conjunctiva flap during SIGS(TA/PVAH group). On the 1, 2, 3, and 4 wk after surgery, the intraocular pressure, filtering bubble morphology, anterior chamber reaction, and other complications were observed and recorded in each group. Then animals were euthanized, and the surgery area tissues of right eye were taken for pathological tissue paraffin section. Masson staining, picric acid-Sirius rose red staining, as well as α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and fibroblast growth factor 2(FGF2)immunohistochemistry staining was performed on every section. The infiltration of inflammatory cells, proliferation of fibroblasts and synthesis of type I and type III collagen fibers in local tissues were observed. The average positive area ratio of α-SMA and FGF2 antibody immunohistochemical staining in each group was calculated and compared.RESULTS: The TA/PVAH group maintained diffuse and elevated functional filtering blebs, while flat filtering blebs appeared in Trab, SIGS and PVAH groups at 2 wk after surgery. Functional filtering blebs were present in 1 eye(33%), 2 eyes(67%)in the PVAH and TA/PVAH group at 4 wk after surgery, respectively, while the other filtering blebs were flattened. Masson staining showed that the hydrogels in PVAH and TA/PVAH groups did not degrade at 4 wk after surgery. Compared with the Trab and SIGS groups, the filtration passages were more obvious, with less collagen fiber proliferation. Sirius red staining showed that the expression of type I collagen and type III collagen in the TA/PVAH group was less than that in the Trab group, SIGS group and PVAH group at 4 wk after surgery. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the α-SMA expression in the TA/PVAH group was significantly lower than that in the Trab and SIGS groups at 1 wk after surgery(P<0.01). The α-SMA expression was the highest in the Trab and SIGS groups at 2 wk after surgery, while the α-SMA expression in the PHAP and TA/PVAH groups was significantly lower than that in the first two groups(P<0.01). Compared with the Trab group, the expression of FGF2 in the PVAH and TA/PVAH group was significantly increased at 1, 2, 3 and 4 wk after surgery(P<0.05). Compared with the SIGS group, FGF2 expression in the TA/PVAH group was significantly increased at 4 wk after surgery(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:In SIGS surgery of rabbit eyes, implanting hydrogel sustained-release sheeting loaded with TA under conjunctival flap can effectively inhibit the scarring of the filtering bleb, which may be the interaction of the anti-scar effect of TA and the stent function of hydrogel.

Objective:To evaluate the three-dimensional choroidal vascularity index (3D-CVI) and choriocapillaris blood flow density (CCD) changes in patients with high myopia using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA), and to investigate the relationship between axial length (AL) and choroidal vascular structure changes in high myopia.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.A control group of 168 eyes of 168 normal subjects, and a high myopia group of 182 eyes of 182 high myopia patients were enrolled from November 2021 to October 2022 at the Peking University People's Hospital.All subjects underwent an ultra-widefield SS-OCTA scan with an area of 24 mm × 20 mm.Full-field average and central area 3D-CVI and CCD were compared between the two groups.Correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were used for 3D-CVI, CCD and AL, respectively.The AL cut-off values were determined when 3D-CVI and CCD were reduced.The study followed the Declaration of Helsinki, and the study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking University People's Hospital (No.2021PHB058-001).All participants voluntarily signed an informed consent form.Results:The mean 3D-CVI and central 3D-CVI in the high myopia group were (31.37±7.85)% and (29.63±9.00)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (32.86±4.25)% and (35.01±3.96)% in the control group ( t=2.241, 7.337; both at P<0.05).The mean CCD in the high myopia group was (45.59±3.63)%, which was significantly lower than (46.47±1.36)% in the control group ( t=3.038, P=0.003).Correlation analysis showed that mean 3D-CVI and CCD were negatively correlated with AL in the high myopia group ( r=-0.547, -0.657; both at P<0.001).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of 3D-CVI, CCD and AL suggested that the AL cut-off value of mean 3D-CVI-reduction was 28.93 mm and the area under the curve of 0.883 ( P<0.001, sensitivity=0.690, specificity=0.944).The AL cut-off value of mean CCD-reduction was 28.26 mm and the area under the curve was 0.884 ( P<0.001, sensitivity=0.793, specificity=0.832). Conclusions:3D-CVI and CCD are both reduced in patients with high myopia.As AL increases, CCD changes earlier than 3D-CVI.

Objective To analyze the disposition of medical support equipment support units for medical service support of the synthetic battalion to carry out efficiently demand matching and replenishment for war loss,so as to enhance the efficiency of deployment and decision making of medical support equipment.Methods War loss of the medical support equipment was analyzed with queuing theory with the support service of the synthetic battalion as the basic research framework and desired equipment intact rate in the battlefield as the goal.A M/M/1/∞/∞ model and a M/M/c/∞/∞ model were established to investigate the disposition process of medical support equipment support units by simulating actual conditions of the battlefield.Multi synthetic battalions were assumed to be deployed to carry out 2 missions with different tasks and combat intensities,of which 40 synthetic battalions were involved in for mission 1 and 35 synthetic battalions for mission 2.The disposition of medical support equipment support units was calculated with the two models constructed.Results With the M/M/c/∞/∞ model it's suggested 5 medical support equipment support units be deployed to serve for 40 synthetic battalions;with the M/M/1/∞/∞ model only one unit was employed to support 35 battalions.The two models both met the requirements of 90％intact rate.Conclusion The research contributes to the decision making of medical support equipment support forces during synthetic battalion medical support and enhances the precision support of medical support equipment.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(4):83-87]

Objective To understand the prevalence status quo of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in the elderly people by conducting the investigation on the elderly people in somewhere,and to explore the influ-encing factors of MCI in the elderly people to provide reference for constructing the MCI localized computer screening and diagnosis system in the elderly.Methods A multi-stage sampling method was used to deter-mine the survey population.The self-made questionnaires,mini mental state examination(MMSE),geriatric depression screening scale(GDS-15),geriatric anxiety screening scale,geriatric psychiatric symptoms scale,and daily living ability scale were used to collect or evaluate basic information,cognitive impairment,depres-sion,anxiety,psychiatric symptoms,and daily living ability of elderly people from March 5,2022 to July 22,2022.The index system affecting MCI was screened by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and unconditional binary logistic regression,and the localized computer screening diagnosis system was construc-ted.Results A total of 1 004 elderly individuals were surveyed,among them there were 262 cases(26.1％)of MCI,194 cases(19.3％)of anxious state,21 cases(2.1％)of depression,313 cases(31.2％)of psychotic symptoms and 32 cases(3.2％)of impaired ability of activities of daily living(ADL).The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curves(AUC)of depression,anxiety and psychotic symptoms for predicting MCI in elderly individuals were 0.640,0.645,and 0.586,respectively.AUC of anxiety combined with depres-sion(anxiety+depression),depression+psychotic symptoms,anxiety+psychotic symptoms and depression+anxiety+psychotic symptoms were 0.676,0.652,0.645 and 0.676,respectively.The multivariate analysis found that the age,whether or not anyone close to you died in the last two years,ability of activities of daily living,anxiety degree,whether or not having psychotic symptoms,education level,whether or not having joint habitation with the family members and suffering from multiple chronic diseases were the influencing factors of MCI.Conclusion The age,education level,death of close persons in the past two years,ability to live daily life,depression,and psychotic symptoms could serve as the indicators system of the MCI localized computer screening and diagnosis system.

Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR)is a condition caused by the degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs and facet joints,primarily manifesting as the pain,sensory abnormalities,and motor dysfunction in the cervical nerve innervation area of neck,shoulder,and upper limb.For the treatment of CSR,tendon-bone syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine often faces the issues of conceptual confusion and non-standard syndrome differentiation.Based on the traditional tendon-bone syndrome differentiation and by integrating modern anatomical insights,Professor LIN Ding-Kun,an esteemed scholar of Traditional Chinese Medicine,proposed a classification system for the cervical spine that includes the categories of tendons,joints,bones and marrow.This paper explored the thoughts of Professor LIN for the tendon-bone syndrome differentiation of CSR,summarized the targets of manual therapy,and proposed the four kinds of pathological changes such as tendon overstrain,joint dislocation,bone lesion,and marrow injury,as well as the four techniques of traditional Chinese medicine manipulations,i.e.relaxation of tendons,reduction of joints,protection of marrow,and treatment of bones.The aim is to improve the syndrome-differentiation and treatment for CSR with orthopedic and traumatologic manipulations,and to provide reference for clinical practice.
