Objective:To explore the clinical value of a trinity strategy for the treatment of multiple orthopedic trauma.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 1 267 patients with multiple orthopedic trauma admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and the First Affiliated Hospital of Navy Medical University from June 2013 to May 2023, including 862 males and 405 females, aged 18-93 years [(55.2±19.8)years]. Associated injuries included hemorrhagic shock in 632 patients, traumatic wet lung in 274, cranial injuries in 135, abdominal and pelvic bleeding in 116, pneumothorax in 89, urinary injury in 13, and vesical rupture in 8. All the patients were treated with the trinity strategy and the treatment process was divided into the phases of first aid, remodeling, and rehabilitation. The first aid phase focused on stabilizing symptoms and saving lives; the remodeling phase centered on restoring the anatomical structure and alignment; the rehabilitation phase aimed for functional recovery through the integration of both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. The all-cause mortality within 30 days after surgery and fracture healing time were calculated; the excellent and good rates of Constant-Murley shoulder score, Mayo elbow score, Gartland-Werley wrist score, Harris hip score, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score at the last follow-up and the overall excellent and good rate of all joint function scores were measured. The short form health survey (SF-36) scores were collected preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively, including 8 aspects such as physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health. The incidence of postoperative complications was recorded.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-18 months [(10.2±4.2)months]. The mortality rate during the acute phase (within 30 days after surgery) was 2.37% with 12 deaths due to hemorrhagic shock, 10 due to traumatic brain injury, 6 due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and 2 due to pulmonary infection. The average fracture healing time averaged 3.8-18 months [(11.5±4.2)months], with 89.49% of the patients having bone union within 12 months after surgery, 8.93% having bone union within 18 months after surgery, and 1.58% undergoing reoperation. For the patients with internal fixation failure and nonunion, the average healing time was extended to (10.2±2.2)months and (13.7±3.3)months respectively. At the last follow-up, the excellent and good rates of Constant-Murley shoulder score, Mayo elbow score, Gartland-Werley wrist score, Harris hip score, HSS knee score, and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score were 83.93%, 90.24%, 94.12%, 85.57%, 88.46%, and 92.31% respectively, with an overall excellent and good rate of 89.11%. At 6 months after surgery, the SF-36 scores of all the patients in the eight dimensions,including the physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health were (74.4±8.6)points, (44.7±14.4)points, (77.4±10.9)points, (68.4±18.2)points, (72.5±16.0)points, (76.8±8.7)points, (49.9±17.6)points, and (72.8±17.9)points, significantly improved compared with those before operation [(63.4±12.7)points, (30.9±17.4)points, (56.4±18.0)points, (55.4±24.7)points, (53.5±21.0)points, (55.8±24.3)points, (36.9±24.0)points, (58.8±21.6)points] ( P<0.01). Complications of different degrees occurred in 214 patients (16.89%), including lung infections in 118 patients (9.31%), lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in 50(3.95%), pressure injuries in 26(2.05%), internal fixation failure in 12(0.95%), and nonunion in 8(0.63%). Conclusions:The trinity strategy provides whole-process management, personalized treatment, and overall rehabilitation for multiple orthopedic trauma. It can decrease mortality, shorten fracture healing time, improve joint function and quality of life, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of simultaneous three-endoscope(lap-aroscope,choledochoscope and duodenoscope)combined with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage(ENBD)in the treatment of acute severe cholangitis.Methods A total of 56 patients with choledocholithiasis complicating a-cute severe cholangitis admitted and treated in this hospital from January 2018 to December 2023 were select-ed as the study subjects and divided into the nasobiliary duct group(n=24)and the T tube group(n=32)ac-cording to the different drainage methods.The nasobiliary duct group adopted the simultaneous three-endo-scope combined with ENBD,the T tube group adopted the two-endoscope(laparoscopy and choledochoscope)T tube placement for drainage.The intraoperative and postoperative complications occurrence situation was compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the T tube group,the tube indwelling time in the nasobiliary duct group was shorter compared with the T tube group,the bile drainage volume on postoperative 1,2,3 d was less,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The two groups all completed the operation and successfully placed the tube.All patients were smoothly discharged without death case.The electrolyte disturbance occurrence rate in the nasobiliary duct group was lower than that in the T tube group(4.2％vs.21.9％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The postoperative follow up lasted for 6-12 months.A total of 48 cases conducted the abdominal color ultrasound examination or magnet-ic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP),the re-examination rate was 85.7％,no long-term complica-tions such as biliary stricture,regenerating stone and cholangitis were found.Conclusion Simultaneous lapa-roscopy,choledochoscopy and duodenoscopy combined with ENBD in emergency is safe and effective in the treatment of partial cases of choledocholithiasis complicating acute severe cholangitis.

Objective To investigate the effect of Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asia(OSTA)index on brachial ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV)and its predictive value for peripheral atherosclerosis in menopausal women.Methods A total of 1 138 menopausal women who underwent physical examination at our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were enrolled in the study.General clinical data were collected,the OSTA index was calculated,and baPWV was measured.Patients were divided into the control group(n=539)and the peripheral atherosclerosis group(n=599)according to the baPWV values(peripheral atherosclerosis occurs with baPWV≥1 400 cm/s).Linear regression and Logistic regression were used to analyze the effect of OSTA index on baPWV in menopausal women.The predictive value of peripheral atherosclerosis was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The OSTA index was lower in the peripheral atherosclerosis group than that in the control group[-0.40(-2.20,1.00)vs.0.40(-0.60,1.40),P＜0.05].Univariate linear regression analysis was used to conclude that the OSTA index was an influencing factor of baPWV,and after correcting for risk factors,multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that OSTA index still affected the value of baPWV(P＜0.05).The linear regression equation was baPWV=-27.911-39.752×OSTA+6.444×SBP+7.008×DBP+11.506×HCY+27.942×Hs-CRP.Logistic regression analysis suggested that increased OSTA index was a protective factor for peripheral atherosclerosis(OR=0.664,95%CI:0.535-0.823,P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis suggested that OSTA index was-1.25 as the optimal cutoff point,which predicted peripheral atherosclerosis with an area under the curve of 0.619,a sensitivity of 36.2%and a specificity of 86.3%.Conclusion In menopausal women,OSTA index is an influential factor for baPWV,and increased OSTA index is a protective factor against peripheral atherosclerosis,which can be used to predict baPWV value.

Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT) is a foot and ankle disease characterized by ankle pain, which may impact the joint function and life quality. If managed improperly, it may lead to a further ankle arthritis, severely compromising the prognosis. The therapeutic effect of conservative treatment for OLT is still uncertain. Surgery is still the main treatment modality for OLT with various techniques. However, the optimized surgical technique is still inconclusive, furthermore, regeneration and repair of cartilage after debridement is also a great challenge for the treatment of OLT. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with good repair effect on cartilage injury is gradually applied in the treatment of OLT. However, there still lacks the unified understanding of the technique and specification of PRP for the treatment of OLT. Therefore, National Orthopedics Center of Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital allied Foot Ankle Basic Research & Orthopedics Group, Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons; Foot and Ankle Committee of Chinese Association of Sports Medicine Physicians; and Foot and Ankle Group of Orthopedic Specialized Branch of Shanghai Medical Association to organize related experts to formulate the Expert consensus on platelet- rich plasma treatment for osteochondral lesion of talus ( version2023). Fifteen recommendations were put forward upon PRP preparation, indications, contraindications and treatment methods of PRP for OLT, so as to standardize the PRP treatment for OLT.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the intention of medical students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:A self-filled electronic questionnaire survey was conducted among medical students from a medical school in Shanghai randomly selected from June 21 to 29, 2021. The questionnaire contained items of basic information, intention for COVID-19 vaccination, awareness of COVID-19 prevention measures and awareness of COVID-19 vaccine. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results:The average age of the 966 respondents was (20.4±2.9) years, and 63.6% (614/966) of them were female;23.7% (229/966) of them had family members or relatives who had participated in anti-pandemic work or volunteer service;90.6% (875/966) of the respondents expressed they were very willing or willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The majority of the respondents thought that “COVID-19 infection is very serious” (94.3%, 911/966), “good protection can effectively prevent COVID-19 infection” (92.4%, 893/966), and “they can fully implement all kinds of protection measures” (73.5%, 710/966). About half of the respondents (51.8%, 501/966) knew about the adverse reactions and contraindications of COVID-19 vaccine. The low protected capability (47.4%, 458/966), short duration of protection (50.6%, 489/966), and many side effects (48.7%, 470/966) were the major concerns about COVID-19 vaccine. Logistic regression analysis showed that people thought that “COVID-19 infection is very serious” ( OR=5.30, 95 %CI:2.60-10.81, P<0.001), thought that “good protection can effectively prevent COVID-19 infection” ( OR=2.46, 95 %CI:1.26-4.81, P=0.009), thought that “they can fully implement all kinds of protection measures” ( OR=2.55, 95 %CI:1.53-4.25, P<0.001) were more willing to receive COVID-19 vaccination. While those concerned about vaccine quality did the opposite ( OR=0.29, 95 %CI:0.13-0.65, P=0.003). Conclusions:Medical students have a high intention of vaccination against COVID-19. The vaccine-related knowledge quality should be emphasized in future publicity to further enhance the intention of COVID-19 vaccination.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical significance of the coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side in the treatment of contralateral calcaneal fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of the 35 patients who had been treated for single calcaneal fracture by coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side from January 2016 to June 2018 at Department of Trauma Orthopedics, The Sixth Hospital of Ningbo. They were 29 males and 6 females with an average age of 44 years (from 18 to 71 years). By Sanders classification, 19 cases were type Ⅱ and 16 cases type Ⅲ. CT scan and reconstruction of both calcaneuses was performed. The image of unaffected calcaneus was mirrored by Mimics software to guide virtual treatment of contralateral calcaneal fracture. Preoperatively the virtual bilateral calcaneuses and the reduced calcaneus were 3D printed to guide the actual operation. The coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side was used to evaluate fracture reduction after operation. Postoperative parameters such as B?hler Angle, Gissane Angle, calcaneal width, and coincidence of the affected calcaneal bone were recorded at 12 months after surgery. The clinical outcomes were assessed by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score.Results:In this cohort, operation time averaged 43.9 min (from 30 to 55 min), time from admission to operation 3.6 d (from 0 to 14 d), and hospital stay 6.3 d (from 3 to 11 d). The patients were followed up for an average of 18.8 months (from 13 to 24 months). All patients achieved bone union after an average of 17 weeks (from 12 to 26 weeks). Re-collapse of subtalar articular surface, talocalcaneal joint fusion, loss of calcaneal height or length, and calcaneal width increase were observed in none of the patients. The VAS scores averaged 2 (from 0 to 4), and the AOFAS scores 93.3 (from 76 to 98). The total coincidence was 95.2%±3.5%. Spearman test indicated a positive correlation between postoperative total coincidence and AOFAS score ( ρ=0.588, P<0.05). Conclusion:The coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side can be used to treat contralateral calcaneal fracture, with advantages of reduced surgical time, increased surgical accuracy and fine clinical outcomes.

Objective:To investigate mechanisms underlying the signal crosstalk of VEGF-IL-6-STAT3 between cutaneous melanoma cells and vascular endothelial cells.Methods:EC-304 vascular endothelial cells were divided into 3 groups: control group cultured in conventional endothelial cell-conditioned medium, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) group cultured in endothelial cell-conditioned medium containing 50 μg/L VEGF 165, A375 co-culture group co-cultured with a melanoma cell line A375. After 24-, 48- and 72-hour treatment, the culture medium was collected, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect the level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) . Cultured A375 cells were divided into 4 groups: control group receiving conventional culture in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM) , A375+ EC-304 group co-cultured with EC-304 cells, A375+ EC-304+ IL-6 group co-cultured with EC-304 cells in DMEM containing 50 μg/L IL-6 (an agonist of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 [STAT3] pathway) , A375+ EC-304+ JSI-124 group co-cultured with EC-304 cells in DMEM containing 1 μmol/L JSI-124 (a STAT3 pathway inhibitor) . After 24-, 48- and 72-hour treatment, cells were collected, and Western blot analysis, cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay and Transwell invasion assay were performed to determine the protein expression of STAT3 and phosphorylated (p) -STAT3, cellular proliferative activity and invasive activity, respectively. Two-way analysis of variance and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The level of IL-6 significantly increased in the culture medium of EC-304 cells in the VEGF group and A375 co-culture group compared with the control group ( FVEGF = 29.63, P < 0.001; FA375 = 11.09, P = 0.020) . Compared with the control group, the A375+ EC-304 group showed significantly enhanced protein expression of p-STAT3 in A375 cells ( P < 0.001) , increased cell activity ( P < 0.001) , and increased number of invasive cells (152.66 ± 16.04 vs. 86.13 ± 7.24, t= 4.43, P < 0.001) ; compared with the A375+ EC-304 group, the A375+ EC-304+ IL-6 group showed significantly increased protein expression of p-STAT3 ( P < 0.001) , enhanced cell activity ( P < 0.001) , and increased number of invasive cells (187.34 ± 14.38, t= 2.17, P < 0.001) ; compared with the A375+ EC-304 group, the A375+ EC-304+ JSI-124 group showed significantly decreased protein expression of p-STAT3 ( P < 0.001) , decreased cell activity ( P < 0.001) , and decreased number of invasive cells (124.92 ± 8.72, t=-1.86, P < 0.001) . Conclusion:There is a signal crosstalk of VEGF-IL-6-STAT3 between cutaneous melanoma cells and vascular endothelial cells, which may play an important role in the proliferation and invasion of A375 cells.
