Objective To explore the efficacy of Krackow locking loop technique combined with the modified Kessler suture technique in the treatment of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.Methods From January 2020 to January 2022,162 cases of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture were treated with Krackow locking loop technique combined with the modified Kessler suture technique.The patients were treated with the same postoperative rehabilitation plans.The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)hindfoot score and Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score(ATRS)were collected to evaluate the functions.Results The operation time was 24-40 min(mean,31.9±4.6 min).All incisions healed in one stage without infection or sural nerve injury.Complications occurred in 2 patients,including 1 case of deep venous thrombosis and 1 case of trauma-related re-rupture.The recovery time of ankle flexion and extension motion was4-12 weeks(mean,7.6±1.9 weeks),the recovery time of single-legged heel rise height on the affected side was 10-18 weeks(mean,13.3±1.8 weeks),and the recovery time of fast walking or jogging was 14-26 weeks(mean,19.1±1.8 weeks).The 162 patients was followed up for 14-25 months(mean,19.0 months).The AOFAS hindfoot score increased from(54.4±4.4)points preoperatively to(98.0±4.0)points at the last follow-up(t =-104.402,P =0.000).The ATRS score increased from(52.0±8.3)points preoperatively to(91.2±2.4)points at the last follow-up(t =-62.823,P = 0.000).Conclusions For young and middle-aged patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture,Krackow locking loop technique combined with the modified Kessler suture technique can achieve good clinical outcomes.Early functional exercise is required to return to work and life.

Objective To analyze and explore the health response capability construction in the long-term recovery phase of nuclear or radiological emergencies. Methods By evaluating China’s participation in an international nuclear emergency exercise organized by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Nuclear Energy Agency, and considering the relevant guidelines published by international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the sections that need to be strengthened in the health response during the long-term recovery phase of nuclear or radiological emergencies were analyzed. The related issues such as health monitoring and medical follow-up were explored. Results The tasks in the long-term recovery phase mainly include monitoring the affected population and information management, medical follow-up, and psychological assistance. In response to potential nuclear or radiological emergencies, 22 nuclear emergency medical rescue bases have been established in China, with a geographical distribution that includes key regions. Relevant institutions have basic capabilities of health response to nuclear or radiological emergencies. However, the exercise shows that strategy and capacity construction in long-term recovery phase are weak points in health response to nuclear or radiological emergencies. China should further strengthen strategies in major public protection actions and information management of affected populations in nuclear or radiological emergencies. Conclusion It is recommended to develop standard operating procedures for major public protection actions, long-term health monitoring and evaluation of affected populations, medical follow-up, and psychological assistance in the future. A unified health registration system for affected populations in nuclear or radiological emergencies should be established to further enhance China’s health response capabilities during the long-term recovery phase of nuclear or radiological emergencies.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective: To analyze the clinical epidemiological characteristics including composition of pathogens , clinical characteristics, and disease prognosis acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) in Chinese children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and laboratory data of 1 610 children <15 years of age with ABM in 33 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2019 to December 2020. Patients were divided into different groups according to age,<28 days group, 28 days to <3 months group, 3 months to <1 year group, 1-<5 years of age group, 5-<15 years of age group; etiology confirmed group and clinically diagnosed group according to etiology diagnosis. Non-numeric variables were analyzed with the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, while non-normal distrituction numeric variables were compared with nonparametric test. Results: Among 1 610 children with ABM, 955 were male and 650 were female (5 cases were not provided with gender information), and the age of onset was 1.5 (0.5, 5.5) months. There were 588 cases age from <28 days, 462 cases age from 28 days to <3 months, 302 cases age from 3 months to <1 year of age group, 156 cases in the 1-<5 years of age and 101 cases in the 5-<15 years of age. The detection rates were 38.8% (95/245) and 31.5% (70/222) of Escherichia coli and 27.8% (68/245) and 35.1% (78/222) of Streptococcus agalactiae in infants younger than 28 days of age and 28 days to 3 months of age; the detection rates of Streptococcus pneumonia, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus agalactiae were 34.3% (61/178), 14.0% (25/178) and 13.5% (24/178) in the 3 months of age to <1 year of age group; the dominant pathogens were Streptococcus pneumoniae and the detection rate were 67.9% (74/109) and 44.4% (16/36) in the 1-<5 years of age and 5-<15 years of age . There were 9.7% (19/195) strains of Escherichia coli producing ultra-broad-spectrum β-lactamases. The positive rates of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture and blood culture were 32.2% (515/1 598) and 25.0% (400/1 598), while 38.2% (126/330)and 25.3% (21/83) in CSF metagenomics next generation sequencing and Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen detection. There were 4.3% (32/790) cases of which CSF white blood cell counts were normal in etiology confirmed group. Among 1 610 children with ABM, main intracranial imaging complications were subdural effusion and (or) empyema in 349 cases (21.7%), hydrocephalus in 233 cases (14.5%), brain abscess in 178 cases (11.1%), and other cerebrovascular diseases, including encephalomalacia, cerebral infarction, and encephalatrophy, in 174 cases (10.8%). Among the 166 cases (10.3%) with unfavorable outcome, 32 cases (2.0%) died among whom 24 cases died before 1 year of age, and 37 cases (2.3%) had recurrence among whom 25 cases had recurrence within 3 weeks. The incidences of subdural effusion and (or) empyema, brain abscess and ependymitis in the etiology confirmed group were significantly higher than those in the clinically diagnosed group (26.2% (207/790) vs. 17.3% (142/820), 13.0% (103/790) vs. 9.1% (75/820), 4.6% (36/790) vs. 2.7% (22/820), χ²=18.71, 6.20, 4.07, all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the unfavorable outcomes, mortility, and recurrence between these 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The onset age of ABM in children is usually within 1 year of age, especially <3 months. The common pathogens in infants <3 months of age are Escherichia coli and Streptococcus agalactiae, and the dominant pathogen in infant ≥3 months is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Subdural effusion and (or) empyema and hydrocephalus are common complications. ABM should not be excluded even if CSF white blood cell counts is within normal range. Standardized bacteriological examination should be paid more attention to increase the pathogenic detection rate. Non-culture CSF detection methods may facilitate the pathogenic diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between drug treatment and outcomes in patients with late-onset severe pneumonia (LOSP) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the effects of the initiation time of treatment drugs, especially antiviral drugs and glucocorticoids on the clinical outcomes in 82 patients between January 2016 and August 2021 who developed LOSP after allo-SCT in Peking University People's Hospital. Univariate analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney U test and χ² test, and multivariate analysis was performed by Logistic regression. When multiple groups (n>2) were involved in the χ² test, Bonferroni correction was used for the level of significance test. RESULTS: Of all 82 patients in this study, the median onset time of LOSP was 220 d (93-813 d) after transplantation, and the 60-day survival rate was 58.5% (48/82). The median improvement time of the survival patients was 18 d (7-44 d), while the median death time of the died patients was 22 d (2-53 d). Multivariate analysis showed that the initiation time of antiviral drugs from the onset of LOSP (< 10 d vs. ≥10 d, P=0.012), and the initiation time of glucocorticoids from antiviral drugs (< 10 d vs. ≥10 d, P=0.027) were the factors affecting the final outcome of the patients with LOSP at the end of 60 d. According to the above results, LOSP patients were divided into four subgroups: group A (antiviral drugs < 10 d, glucocorticoids ≥10 d), group B (antiviral drugs < 10 d, glucocorticoids < 10 d), group C (antiviral drugs ≥10 d, glucocorticoids ≥10 d) and group D (antiviral drugs ≥10 d, glucocorticoids < 10 d), the 60-day survival rates were 91.7%, 56.8%, 50.0% and 21.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that in patients who developed LOSP after allo-SCT, the initiation time of antiviral drugs and glucocorticoids were associated with the prognosis of LOSP, and the survival rate was highest in patients who received antiviral drugs early and glucocorticoids later. It suggested that for patients with LOSP of unknown etiology should be highly suspicious of the possibility of a secondary hyperimmune response to viral infection.

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to analyze the applicability of the World Health Organization's exclusionary guidelines for Urinary creatinine (Ucr) in the general Chinese population, and to identify Ucr related factors. METHODS: We conduct a cross-sectional study using baseline data from 21,167 participants in the China National Human Biomonitoring Program. Mixed linear models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to analyze the associations between explanatory variables and Ucr concentration. RESULTS: The geometric mean and median concentrations of Ucr in the general Chinese population were 0.90 g/L and 1.01 g/L, respectively. And 9.36% samples were outside 0.3-3.0 g/L, including 7.83% below the lower limit and 1.53% above the upper limit. Middle age, male, obesity, smoking, higher frequency of red meat consumption and chronic kidney disease were associated significantly with higher concentrations of Ucr. Results of the RCS showed Ucr was positively and linearly associated with body mass index, inversely and linearly associated with systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides level, and glomerular filtration rate, and were non-linearly associated with triiodothyronine. CONCLUSION The age- and gender-specific cut-off values of Ucr that determine the validity of urine samples in the general Chinese population were recommended. To avoid introducing bias into epidemiologic associations, the potential predictors of Ucr observed in the current study should be considered when using Ucr to adjust for variations in urine dilution.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a highly contagious disease caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), which causes great economic losses. At the moment, no effective neutralizing antibody is available for scientific research and treatment. Therefore, developing a method for screening the neutralizing monoclonal antibodies is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of PRRSV and the screening of antigen sites. Monoclonal antibodies have been widely used in the treatment and diagnosis of many human and animal diseases. Therefore, screening effective neutralizing antibodies for different pathogens is an urgent task. Among the methods for monoclonal antibody screening, B cell immortalization is an effective method to obtain neutralizing monoclonal antibody. Specifically, in this study, the bcl-6 and bcl-xl genes were connected by f2a and then the yielded product was ligated to a vector for retrovirus packaging. The swine lymphocytes immunized with PRRSV were infected the yielded mature viruses and cultured in the complete medium containing CD40L and IL21 cytokines. Then, CD21 was used as the marker to screen B cells with the magnetic bead method. Finally, monoclonal B cells were obtained and the secretion of antibodies was tested. The results showed that the plasmid, either being transfected alone or with the packaged plasmids, could be expressed, and that the packaged retrovirus could infect the cells. Moreover, the infected lymphocytes secreted antibodies, so did the screened B cells. Therefore, the method for screening monoclonal antibody against PRRSV was successfully established.
