Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of neuro-Beh?et′s syndrome (NBS) in children.Method:The clinical, brain magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory data of 5 children with NBS diagnosed in the Department of Pediatrics, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University and Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from April 2014 to April 2024 were analyzed retrospectively. The follow-up method was retrospective outpatient or inpatient visit to evaluate the treatment effect of NBS.Result:Among the 5 NBS cases, 2 were male and 3 were female. The age of admission ranged from 8 to 17 years, the time from onset to diagnosis was 2 days to 4 years. Two patients had dizziness, headache and convulsions during the treatment of NBS, 1 patient had disturbance of consciousness, 1 patient gradually developed aphasia, limb movement disorder, dysphagia and muscle weakness after 4 years of Behcet's syndrome, and 1 patient had no clinical symptoms. C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were increased in 4 cases, and cerebrospinal fluid white blood cells and immunoglobulin G were increased in 1 case. Brain magnetic resonance imaging of 4 children showed multiple lesions, including bilateral frontal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, periventricular and corpus callosum lesions. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple demyelinating diseases in 1 case, and cervical and thoracic magnetic resonance imaging showed slender cervical and thoracic spinal cord. All patients were treated with corticosteroids combined with immunosuppressants or biological agents. The children were followed up for 6 months to 4 years, and 4 cases had good treatment results, and 1 case finally gave up treatment.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of NBS are not specific, and brain magnetic resonance imaging shows that the lesion location and morphology are not specific. NBS children treated with corticosteroids combined with immunosuppressive agents or biological agents have a good prognosis.

Objectiv To analyze the expression of serum procalcitonin(PCT),pentraxin 3(PTX3)and high mobility group protein B1(HMGB-1)in children after open gastrointestinal surgery and their application value in early infection prediction.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 206 children with open gastrointestinal surgery admitted to the hospital from January 2020 to January 2023.They were divided into infection group(27 case)and non-infection group(179 case)according to whether they had postoperative infection.The levels of serum PCT,PTX3 and HMGB-1 before operation,1 d and 3 d after operation were compared between the two groups.The predictive value of single and combined detection of serum indexes 1 d and 3 d after operation for postoperative infection in children with open gastrointestinal surgery was observed.The influencing factors of postoperative infection were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results The levels of serum PCT,PTX3 and HMGB-1 in the infection group were(2.42±0.39)μg/L,(3.74±0.53)pg/L,(2.07±0.66)p,g/L,(3.06±0.75)μg/L,(18.35±2.74)μg/L,and(26.09±4.16)μg/L at 1 d and 3 d after operation,which were higher than those in the non-infection group(1.71±0.35)pg/L,(2.29±0.36)μg/L,(1.48±0.52)μg/L,(1.73±0.59)pg/L,(13.04±2.26)μg/L,and(15.75±2.83)pg/L(P＜0.05).Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of combined detection of serum PCT,PTX3 and HMGB-1 in predicting postoperative infection in children with open gastrointestinal surgery was the largest(0.989)at 3 days after operation;Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age was an independent protective factor for postoperative infection in children,and Intraoperative blood loss,operation time,serum PCT,PTX3 and HMGB-1 at 1 d and 3 d after operation were independent risk factors(P＜0.05);The levels of serum PCT,PTX3 and HMGB-1 in children with moderate to severe infection were(2.63±0.34)μg/L,(4.12±0.56)μg/L,(2.31±0.69)μg/L,(3.39±0.81)μg/L,(19.86 ±2.91)pg/L,and(28.84±4.40)μg/L at 1 d and 3 d after operation,which were higher than those in children with mild infection(2.11±0.28)μg/L,(3.19±0.49)μg/L,(1.72±0.60)μg/L,(2.58± 0.73)μg/L,(16.15±2.39)μg/L,and(22.09±3.96)pg/L(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of serum PCT,PTX3 and HMGB-1 in children after open gastrointestinal surgery was significantly increased,and its expression was related to early postoperative infection and the severity of infection,and the combined predictive value of the three was higher,which could provide reference for early infection prediction.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Methods The data of the patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from July 2016 to June 2022 in Daping Hospital of Army Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether arrhythmia occurred after operation, the patients were divided into an arrhythmia group and a non-arrhythmia group. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were used to screen the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Results A total of 146 patients were enrolled, including 55 males and 91 females, with an average age of 43.03±13.11 years. There were 23 patients in the arrhythmia group and 123 patients in the non-arrhythmia group. One (0.49%) patient died in the hospital. Univariate analysis suggested that age, body weight, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, left atrial anteroposterior diameter, left ventricular anteroposterior diameter, right ventricular anteroposterior diameter, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, uric acid, red blood cell width, operation time, CPB time, aortic cross-clamping time, and operation type were associated with postoperative arrhythmia (P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis suggested that direct bilirubin (OR=1.334, 95%CI 1.003-1.774, P=0.048) and aortic cross-clamping time (OR=1.018, 95%CI 1.005-1.031, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. In the arrhythmia group, postoperative tracheal intubation time (P<0.001), intensive care unit stay (P<0.001) and postoperative hospital stay (P<0.001) were significantly prolonged, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events were significantly increased (P=0.002). Conclusion Preoperative direct bilirubin level and aortic cross-clamping time are independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Postoperative tracheal intubation time, intensive care unit stay, and postoperative hospital stay are significantly prolonged in patients with postoperative arrhythmia, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events are significantly increased.

Objective To identify clinical risk factors for early major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) following surgical correction of supravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS). Methods Patients who underwent SVAS surgical correction between 2002 and 2019 in Beijing and Yunnan Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospitals were included. The patients were divided into a MACEs group and a non-MACEs group based on whether MACEs concurring during postoperative hospitalization or within 30 days following surgical correction for SVAS. Their preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative clinical data were collected for multivariate logistic regression. Results This study included 302 patients. There were 199 males and 103 females, with a median age of 63.0 (29.2, 131.2) months. The incidence of early postoperative MACEs was 7.0% (21/302). The multivariate logistic regression model identified independent risk factors for early postoperative MACEs, including ICU duration (OR=1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.01, P=0.032), intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (OR=1.02, 95%CI 1.01-1.04, P=0.014), aortic annulus diameter (OR=0.65, 95%CI 0.43-0.97, P=0.035), aortic sinus inner diameter (OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.57-0.98, P=0.037), and diameter of the stenosis (OR=0.56, 95%CI 0.35-0.90, P=0.016). Conclusion The independent risk factors for early postoperative MACEs include ICU duration, intraoperative CPB time, aortic annulus diameter, aortic sinus inner diameter, and diameter of the stenosis. Early identification of high-risk populations for MACEs is beneficial for the development of clinical treatment strategies.

Breast cancer surgery has been changing from radical mastectomy to modified radical mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery with less trauma and fewer complications. Breast conserving surgery has evolved into oncoplastic breast conserving surgery, which combines both breast conserving and plastic surgery. The application of autologous tissue flap is a research hotspot in oncoplastic breast conserving surgery. This article reviews the indications and contraindications of tissue flap technology in breast cancer, surgical methods and categories, application occasions of different types of tissue flaps, early and delayed postoperative complications, and the impact of different postoperative adjuvant treatments on tissue flaps, based on the latest research on oncoplastic breast conserving surgery both domestically and internationally.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates of Corynebacterium striatum and the clinical characteristics of the patients infected or colonized with these strains.Methods The C.striatum strains isolated from clinical specimens were collected in Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from July 2020 to September 2022.The clinical data were analyzed to examine the clinical characteristics of patients with C.striatum colonization or infection.The susceptibility of these strains to 18 antimicrobial agents were tested by broth microdilution method.The gyrA gene related to quinolone resistance determining region was amplified and sequenced to analyze the position of amino acid mutations.The ribosomal methylase gene ermX and aminoglycoside enzyme gene aphA1 were amplified by PCR and sequenced.Results Antimicrobial susceptibility testing indicated that all of the 72 strains were susceptible to vancomycin,linezolid and daptomycin.All stains were resistant to ceftriaxone,ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin.The C.striatum strains showed high resistance rate to penicillin(87.5％),cefepime(95.8％),meropenem(95.8％),trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole(90.3％),erythromycin(98.6％)and clindamycin(98.6％),but relatively lower resistance rate to gentamycin(25.0％),tetracycline(30.6％)and rifampicin(23.6％).Sequencing analysis indicated that 3 strains of C.striatum had single mutation of gyrA gene(Ser87Val),67 strains had double mutations(Ser87Phe,Asp91Ala or Ser87Tyr,Asp91Ala)and 2 strains had three point mutations(Ser87Phe,Ala88Pro and Asp91 Ala),which was newly identified in this study.The ermXgene was detected in all of the isolates and the prevalence of aphA1 gene was 43.1％.The 72 strains of C.striatum were mainly isolated from ICU(65.2％)and lower respiratory tract specimen(91.6％).The average age of patients was 68.0±15.3 years old.About 72.2％(52/72)of the C.striatum strains were isolated from the patients with infection and 27.8％(20/72)were colonizers.Compared to the patients colonized with C.striatum,the patients with C.striatum infection had statistically significant higher percentages of hospital stay ≥ 28 days,cerebral hemorrhage,disturbance of consciousness and disease deterioration(P＜0.05).Conclusions All of the 72 C.striatum isolates were multidrug resistant,and the outcome of patients with C.striatum infection was relatively poor.

Objective To investigate the effect of respiratory training based on core stability training on feedforward control in pa-tients with chronic nonspecific low back pain(CNLBP). Methods A total of 60 patients with CNLBP in Jiaxing Second Hospital from January,2022 to March,2023 were ran-domly divided into control group(n=30)and experimental group(n=30).Both groups received health educa-tion,physical factor therapy and core stability training,while the experimental group received respiratory training in addition,for four weeks.Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,Japanese Orthopaedic Association low back pain(JOA)score and Oswestry Dysfunction Index(ODI)were compared between two groups before and after treat-ment,while surface electromyography was used to detect the root mean square(RMS)and integrated electromy-ography(iEMG)of transversus abdominis,multifidus and triceps(movement muscles),and the activation se-quence and relative activation time of transversus abdominis,multifidus and triceps were calculated. Results After treatment,the scores of VAS,JOA and ODI improved significantly in both groups(|t|>8.515,P<0.001),and the scores were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.089,P<0.05).RMS and iEMG of transversus abdominis and multifidus improved significantly after treatment in both groups(|t|>18.831,P<0.001),and were significantly better in the experimental group(|t|>3.481,P<0.05).The transversus abdominis and multifidus in both groups were activated before the movement muscles,and the relative activation time of transversus abdominis and multifidus increased in negative(|t|>48.115,P<0.001),the experimental group being better(|t|>3.229,P<0.05). Conclusion Combination of core stability training and respiratory training is beneficial in reducing the pain of patients with CNLBP,reducing the lumbar dysfunction,improving the order of muscle activation,and strengthening feed-forward control.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of robot assisted total gastrectomy plus hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy.Methods:The clinical data of 72 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and undergoing total gastrectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University from Nov 2021 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups: robot-assisted total gastrectomy (RATG) group, consisting of 30 patients, and laparoscopic assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) group, consisting of 42 patients . In the RATG group, the digestive tract was reconstructed by manual suture under the robot scope and Roux-Y reconstruction was performed . In LATG group, digestive tract reconstruction was performed using an in vitro stapler and Roux-Y. The clinicopathological data, perioperative indexes, and postoperative follow-up data of both groups were observed and analyzed.Results:All 72 patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open laparotomy. The total operation time in RATG group was longer than that in LATG group [(235.2±25.8) min vs. (200.7±40.6) min, t=4.099, P<0.05)].RATG was superior to LATG group in terms of digestive tract reconstruction time, postoperative fluid intake time and hospitalization days,the difference was statistically significant [(36.9±3.0) min vs.(39.4±4.5) min, (4.2±0.5) d vs. (5.2±0.6) d、(9.5±1.6) d vs. (10.8±2.4)d, t=-2.554,-7.135,-2.595, all P<0.05]; In terms of postoperative pathology, the number of lymph node dissection in RATG group was higher than that in LATG group [(29.8±6.2) vs. (26.3±7.5), t=2.197, P<0.05]. Conclusion:The application of delayed disconnection hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy in Da Vinci robot total gastrectomy is safe and feasible for cure-intent total gastrectomy in patients of gastric carcinoma.
