BACKGROUND:Traditional surgery for lumbar disc herniation involves extensive excision of tissue surrounding the nerve for decompression and removal of protruding lumbar intervertebral discs,which poses various risks and complications such as nerve damage causing paralysis,lumbar instability,herniation recurrence,intervertebral space infection,and adjacent vertebral diseases. OBJECTIVE:To propose the symmetrically adduction of lumbar decompression induced resorption of herniated nucleus pulpous technique for lumbar spine symmetrically decompression,showing the induced resorption of herniated nucleus pulpous phenomenon and early clinical efficacy,and then analyze its decompression mechanism. METHODS:214 patients with lumbar disc herniation at Department of Orthopedics,First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2021 to May 2023 were enrolled in this study.Among them,81 patients received conservative treatment as the control group,and 133 patients received symmetrically adduction of lumbar decompression induced resorption of herniated nucleus pulpous treatment as the trial group.Before surgery,immediately after surgery(7-14 days),and early after surgery(over 1 year),MRI images were used to measure the volume changes of lumbar disc herniation.CT images were used to measure the posterior displacement distance of the lumbar spinous process ligament complex,as well as the width and height of the lateral recess.Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores were used to evaluate the patient's neurological function recovery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Control group:81 patients with lumbar disc herniation were treated conservatively,with a total of 171 herniated lumbar discs.The average follow-up time was(22.7±23.1)months.The first and second MRI measurements of 171 herniated lumbar discs showed herniated lumbar disc volumes of(551.6±257.9)mm3 and(792.2±330.4)mm3,respectively,with an average volume increase rate of(53.2±44.4)%,showing statistically significant differences(P<0.001).Out of 171 herniated lumbar discs,4 experienced natural shrinkage,with an absorption ratio of 2.3%(4/171)and an absorption rate of(24.5±9.9)%.(2)Trial group:133 patients with lumbar disc herniation had a total of 285 herniated lumbar discs.(1)Immediately after surgery:All patients were followed up immediately after surgery.229 out of 285 herniated lumbar discs experienced retraction,with an absorption ratio of 80.3%(229/285)and an average absorption rate of(21.5±20.9)%,with significant and complete absorption accounting for 6.5%.There were a total of 70 herniated lumbar discs in the upper lumbar spine,with an absorption ratio of 85.7%(60/70),an average absorption rate of(23.1±19.5)%,and a maximum absorption rate of 86.6%.There were 215 herniated lumbar discs in the lower lumbar spine,with an absorption ratio of 78.6%(169/215),an average absorption rate of(21.0±21.3)%,and a maximum absorption rate of 83.2%.Significant and complete absorption of the upper and lower lumbar vertebrae accounted for 5.7%and 6.5%,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The average distance of posterior displacement of the spinous process ligament complex immediately after surgery was(5.2±2.8)mm.There were no significant differences in the width and height of the left and right lateral recess before and immediately after surgery(P>0.05).The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score immediately after surgery increased from(10.1±3.4)before surgery to(17.0±4.8),and the immediate effective rate after surgery reached 95.6%.(2)Early postoperative period:Among them,46 patients completed the early postoperative follow-up.There were 101 herniated lumbar discs,with an absorption ratio of 94%(95/101)and an average absorption rate of(36.9±23.7)%.Significant and complete absorption accounted for 30.6%,with a maximum absorption rate of 100%.Out of 101 herniated lumbar discs,3 remained unchanged in volume,with a volume invariance rate of 2.97%(3/101).Out of 101 herniated lumbar discs,3 had an increased volume of herniated lumbar discs,with an increase ratio of 2.97%(3/101)and an increase rate of(18.5±18.4)%.The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score increased from preoperative(9.3±5.1)to(23.5±4.0),with an excellent and good rate of 93.4%.(3)The early postoperative lumbar disc herniation absorption ratios of the control group and trial group were 2.3%and 85.9%,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P<0.001).(4)Complications:There were two cases of incision exudation and delayed healing in the trial group.After conservative treatment such as dressing change,no nerve injury or death occurred in the incision healing,and no cases underwent a second surgery.(5)It is concluded that symmetrically adduction of lumbar decompression induced resorption of herniated nucleus pulpous is a new method for treating lumbar disc herniation that can avoid extensive excision of the"ring"nerve and achieve satisfactory early clinical efficacy.It does not damage the lumbar facet joints or alter the basic anatomical structure of the lateral recess,fully preserves the herniated lumbar discs,and can induce significant or even complete induced resorption of herniated nucleus pulpous.Symmetrically adduction of lumbar decompression induced resorption of herniated nucleus pulpous provides a new basis and method for the clinical treatment of lumbar disc herniation.

Objective:To understand the experience of inpatients with recurrent acute pancreatitis and to provide empirical support for health intervention and health education for medical staff.Methods:Using the descriptive phenomenology, a total of 11 inpatients with recurrent acute pancreatitis from the Second Norman Bethune Hospital of Jilin University were selected for semi-structured interviews from October to December 2021 by the objective sampling and theoretical sampling methods. Colaizzi phenomenological analysis method and Nvivo11 coding software were used to analyze and sort out the collected interview data and extract classified topics.Results:Three themes were summarized, including lack of knowledge of patients in acquiring disease knowledge, difficulty in self-control of disease progression under the influence of subjective or objective factors, active or forced changes in dietary behavior and attitudes.Conclusions:Medical staff should strengthen the guidance of acquiring health knowledge of recurrent acute pancreatitis, strive to enhance patients' ability of disease self-management and fully evaluate and standardize the diet of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis.

Objective:To explore the effect of radiofrequency heating on the morphology of articular cartilage in the knee and the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the synovium using a rabbit model of knee osteoarthritis (OA).Methods:Fifty-four male rabbits had OA induced in their right hind limbs using the modified Hulth method. They were then randomly divided into a model group, a cervus and cucumis polypeptide (CCP) group and a radiofrequency thermotherapy (RT) group, each of 18. The CCP group was injected with deer melon peptide intramuscularly every day, while the RT group was given daily radiofrequency hyperthermia treatment at 36.5-38.5 ℃. The model group was not provided with any special treatment. On the 6th, 12th and 18th day of the treatment, 6 rabbits in each group were sacrificed to resect the right femur′s medial condyle cartilage. The morphological characteristics of the cartilage were evaluated using modified Mankins scoring, while the contents of lL-1B and TNF-a in the synovial membrane were detected using enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assays.Results:The average Mankins scores and the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α decreased significantly at each time point, and significant differences were observed among the three groups. In the RT group the average Mankins score as well as the IL-1β and TNF-α levels decreased significantly with time throughout the experiment.Conclusions:Radiofrequency hyperthermia is superior to the injection of deer melon polypeptide in knee osteoarthritis, at least in rabbits. The therapeutic mechanism may be related to the control of IL-1β and TNF- α levels in the synovial membrane.

Objective:To investigate the influence of different characteristics of implant-supported fixed dental prostheses on the incidence of peri-implant disease.Methods:Prospective cohort was established for patients who received implant-supported fixed dental prostheses at the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University between June 2014 and September 2015. Several patient-related factors, implant prostheses factors, and oral hygiene maintenance factors were collected. The Log-rank test was used to compare the peri-implant disease rates of various factors, and the Cox proportional hazards model was used to conduct multivariate study on single factor significant factors to analyze the impact on the incidence of peri-implant disease.Results:A total of 214 subjects and 351 implants were included in the cohort, the follow-up period was (11.0±3.5) months. Finally, 43.0% (92/214) of patients and 37.3% (131/351) of implants developed peri-implant diseases. The incidence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis was 41.1% (88/214) and 4.2% (9/214) at the subject level,and 34.2% (120/351) and 3.1% (11/351) at the implant level. Among the factors associated with the implant prosthesis, single factor Log-rank analysis showed that prostheses retention methods, proximal contact of the prostheses, occlusion situation were statistical significance ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazards model showed that screw retention (hazard ratio=2.38, 95% CI: 1.42-3.99), proximal contact loss of the prostheses (hazard ratio=2.36, 95% CI: 1.31-4.27) were independent risk factors for peri-implant disease ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Factors such as prostheses retention mode and proximal contact characteristics have important influence on the health status of the implant.

Objective:To understand the status of sedation and analgesia treatment and management in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) in Shandong Province, and to provide the basis for the improvement of sedation and analgesia treatment plan.Methods:This study was a multi-center retrospective study.The PICUs of 6 tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province participated in this study.The data of 1 340 children admitted to these 6 PICUs from January 2016 to December 2018 were collected.The age, gender, the pediatric risk of mortality score Ⅲ at 24 hours after admission, whether they received mechanical ventilation, whether they received sedation and(or) analgesia, whether they were monitored sedation and(or) analgesia, and in-hospital mortality were analyzed.The children were divided into the simple sedation group( n=798), the sedation + analgesia group( n=120) and the non-sedation analgesia group( n=422) according to whether they received sedation and(or) analgesia.The diseases, proportion of mechanical ventilation, incidence of hypotension, average length of stay in PICU and in-hospital mortality were compared among the three groups. Results:The median age of the 1 340 children was (13.3±6.4) months, including 786 males(58.7%). Sedation therapy had been carried out in 6 PICUs, of which 5 PICUs had routine sedation assessment; 4 PICUs had carried out analgesic therapy, of which only 2 had routine pain assessment.A total of 918 children(68.5%)received sedation and(or) analgesia, midazolam was the most commonly used sedative drug, followed by dexmedetomidine, and 526 children(57.3%)were monitored for sedation assessment, the most commonly used assessment method was the Richmond agitation sedation score.One hundred and twenty(9.0%)cases received sedation combined with analgesia, fentanyl was the most commonly used analgesic, and 38 children(31.7%) underwent routine pain assessment.There was no significant difference in age and sex among the three groups.The proportion of surgical diseases and patients received mechanical ventilation(100.0%, 120/120) were the highest in the sedation + analgesia group.The proportion of mechanically ventilated patients was the lowest in the non-sedation analgesia group(11.4%, 48/422). The mean duration of mechanical ventilation in the sedation + analgesia group was slightly shorter than that in the simple sedation group( P>0.05). The incidence of hypotension was highest in the sedation + analgesia group, and lowest in the non-sedation analgesia group[21.7%(26/120) vs.2.1%(9/422), P<0.01]. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality and mean PICU stay among three groups. Conclusion:Benzodiazepines are still the main sedative drugs used in PICUs in Shandong Province.In recent years, the usage of dexmedetomidine has gradually increased, but the proportion of analgesic use is very low.At present, analgesic and sedative therapy is mainly used for children after surgery and receiving mechanical ventilation.Although analgesic and sedative therapy does not increase the in-hospital mortality and average length of stay in PICU, it increases the incidence of hypotension.The sedative and analgesic treatment and assessment in the PICU of Shandong Province are still not standardized, mainly reflected in infrequently analgesic treatment and the assessment of sedation and pain, which need to be further improved.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of acute paraquat(PQ)poisoning in children in southwest Shandong, and the risk factors for pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Methods: This retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of children with acute PQ poisoning admitted from January 2013 to December 2017 in 12 hospitals in southwest Shandong.All participants were divided into pulmonary interstitial fibrosis group and no pulmonary interstitial fibrosis group on the basis of the chest CT 14 days after poisoning.The epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis were analyzed. Results: During the study period, a total of 307 children with acute PQ poisoning were admitted to 12 hospitals, of which 61 (19.87%) were suffering from acute PQ poisoning.Forty-nine cases with complete clinical data were analyzed, including 26 male and 23 female patients poisoned by oral.The age distribution ranged from 8 months to 14 years.Poisoning mainly occured from July to September of each year.The mortality of acute PQ poisoning was 8.2%(4/49), and the incidence of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in survival patients was 44.4%(20/45). Statistical differences (P<0.05) were found between the pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and no pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, with regard to the times of blood purification, the time from poison exposure to blood purification, the application rate of glucocorticoids, the concentration of PQ in urine, the pediatric critical illness score, the time from poison exposure to gastric lavage, the white blood count at admission, serum creatinine, arterial blood lactate, PaO₂, PaCO₂, and PaO₂/FiO₂; however, there was no significant difference in the proportion of blood purification treatment, the mode of blood purification treatment, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea nitrogen, creatine kinase and troponin.Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the time from exposure to poison to gastric lavage(OR=0.683, 95%CI 0.210-2.222)and to blood purification(OR=0.0133, 95%CI 0.004-0.042), the times of blood purification(OR=2.862, 95%CI 1.450-5.648), concentration of PQ in urine(OR=1.435, 95%CI 1.085-1.898), and the use of glucocorticoids(OR=0.190, 95%CI 0.048-0.757) were the risk factors for pulmonary interstitial fibrosis(P<0.05). Conclusion Early gastric lavage and blood purification, increasing the frequence of adminitrating purification appropriately, using low-dose glucocorticoids can reduce the incidence of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis of children with acute PQ poisoning.

Genome reannotation aims for complete and accurate characterization of gene models and thus is of critical significance for in-depth exploration of gene function. Although the availability of massive RNA-seq data provides great opportunities for gene model refinement, few efforts have been made to adopt these precious data in rice genome reannotation. Here we reannotate the rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) genome based on integration of large-scale RNA-seq data and release a new annotation system IC4R-2.0. In general, IC4R-2.0 significantly improves the completeness of gene structure, identifies a number of novel genes, and integrates a variety of functional annota-tions. Furthermore, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are system-atically characterized in the rice genome. Performance evaluation shows that compared to previous annotation systems, IC4R-2.0 achieves higher integrity and quality, primarily attributable to mas-sive RNA-seq data applied in genome annotation. Consequently, we incorporate the improvedannotations into the Information Commons for Rice (IC4R), a database integrating multiple omics data of rice, and accordingly update IC4R by providing more user-friendly web interfaces and implementing a series of practical online tools. Together, the updated IC4R, which is equipped with the improved annotations, bears great promise for comparative and functional genomic studies in rice and other monocotyledonous species. The IC4R-2.0 annotation system and related resources are freely accessible at http://ic4r.org/.
