Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To investigate the content stability of polymyxin B sulfate in high concentration solution and its finished infusion,and to provide a scientific basis for clinical administration.Methods Polymyxin B sulfate was dissolved in 0.9%sodium chloride injection and 5%glucose solution to the concentrations of 0.5 mg·mL-1,1 mg·mL-1 and 5 mg·mL-1,respectively.The content of polymyxin B was determined at 0,2,4,6,8,12,16,20 and 24 h by high-performance liquid chromatography under storage conditions of 4℃and 25℃.Results Polymyxin B sulfate was stable in the concentrations of 0.5 mg·mL-1,1 mg·mL-1 and 5 mg·mL-1,respectively,in 0.9%sodium chloride injection or 5%glucose injection.Under the storage conditions of 4℃and 25℃,the content of polymyxin B1 and polymyxin B2 ranged from 97.23%to 101.26%and 97.30%to 102.63%,respectively.Conclusion Polymyxin B sulfate was stable within 24 h dissolved either in 0.9%sodium chloride injection or in 5%glucose injection with the concentrations of 0.5 mg·mL-1,1 mg·mL-1 and 5 mg·mL-1 under the storage condition of 4℃and 25℃.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants and coronary heart disease (CHD) in a Chinese pedigree and the possible molecular mechanisms. METHODS: A Chinese pedigree featuring matrilineal inheritance of CHD who visited Hangzhou First People's Hospital in May 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the proband and her affected relatives was collected. By sequencing the mtDNA of the proband and her pedigree members, candidate variants were identified through comparison with wild type mitochondrial genes. Conservative analysis among various species was conducted, and bioinformatics software was used to predict the impact of variants on the secondary structure of tRNA. Real-time PCR was carried out to determine the copy number of mtDNA, and a transmitochondrial cell line was established for analyzing the mitochondrial functions, including membrane potential and ATP level. RESULTS: This pedigree had contained thirty-two members from four generations. Among ten maternal members, four had CHD, which yielded a penetrance rate of 40%. Sequence analysis of proband and her matrilineal relatives revealed the presence of a novel m.4420A>T variant and a m.10463T>C variant, both of which were highly conserved among various species. Structurally, the m.4420A>T variant had occurred at position 22 in the D-arm of tRNAMet, which disrupted the 13T-22A base-pairing, while the m.10463T>C variant was located at position 67 in the acceptor arm of tRNAArg, a position critical for steady-state level of the tRNA. Functional analysis revealed that patients with the m.4420A>T and m.10463T>C variants exhibited much fewer copy number of mtDNA and lower mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP contents (P < 0.05), which were decreased by approximately 50.47%, 39.6% and 47.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION Mitochondrial tRNAMet 4420A>T and tRNAArg 10463T>C variants may underlay the maternally transmitted CHD in this pedigree, which had shown variation in mtDNA homogeneity, age of onset, clinical phenotype and other differences, suggesting that nuclear genes, environmental factors and mitochondrial genetic background have certain influence on the pathogenesis of CHD.

The condition of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) complicated by corona virus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is complex. sTBI can significantly increase the probability of COVID-19 developing into severe or critical stage, while COVID-19 can also increase the surgical risk of sTBI and the severity of postoperative lung lesions. There are many contradictions in the treatment process, which brings difficulties to the clinical treatment of such patients. Up to now, there are few clinical studies and therapeutic norms relevant to sTBI complicated by COVID-19. In order to standardize the clinical treatment of such patients, Critical Care Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on clinical treatment of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by corona virus infection 2019 ( version 2023) based on the joint prevention and control mechanism scheme of the State Council and domestic and foreign literatures on sTBI and COVID-19 in the past 3 years of the international epidemic. Fifteen recommendations focused on emergency treatment, emergency surgery and comprehensive management were put forward to provide a guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sTBI complicated by COVID-19.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To translate and culturally adjust Decisional Fatigue Scale (DFS) , and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The Chinese version of DFS was formed through the method of double translation, back translation and expert consultation. Using the convenient sampling method, 247 medical staffs from 16 departments in 76 wards of Xiangyang No.1 People's Hospital Affiliated to Hubei University of Medicine were selected as the research objects. Content validity, criterion validity and structure validity were used for validity evaluation, and internal consistency reliability, split half reliability and retest reliability were used for reliability evaluation. A total of 247 questionnaires were sent out in this study and 247 were effectively received, with effective recovery of 100.00%.Results:The total Cronbach's α coefficient of Chinese DFS was 0.933, the half-reliability coefficient was 0.849 and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.838 ( P<0.01) . Both the item content validity index and scale content validity index were 1.00, and the correlation coefficient with the total score of SRF-S was 0.729 ( P<0.01) . One common factor was extracted by exploratory factor analysis and 65.64% of the variation was explained cumulatively, which was consistent with the dimensions of the original scale. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that all fitting indexes were up to standard and the fitting degree was good. Conclusions:The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of DFS in medical staffs is good, which can be used to evaluate the degree of decision-making fatigue of Chinese medical staffs.

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease, characterized by psoriasis skin lesions and inflammation of the spine and joint. It has complicated clinical manifestations and individual variations. Nearly half of the patients will have joints erosion in two years, which is crippling. The severity of the skin and joint disease frequently do not correlate with each other. Currently, the understanding of the disease is insufficient in China with the lack of standardized diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, researchers from the Chinese Rheumatology Association formulated this specification based on the diagnosis and management experience together with guidelines at home and abroad. The specification summarizes the present situation of domestic diagnosis and treatment, aiming to standardize the diagnosis process and treatment protocols of psoriatic arthritis. Furthermore, it can reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, as well as improve the prognosis.

BACKGROUND:With the wide application of bone repair scaffold in the field of medicine, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and silk fibroin (SF) both of which have good biological properties have become research hotspots in recent years.OBJECTIVE:To study the feasibility of nHA/SF composite materials loaded with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) to restore the initial stability of the spinal segment in rabbits.METHODS: Thirty-six male health New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, followed by preparation of spinal instability models. Autogenous iliac bone, nHA/SF composite, and rhBMP-2/nHA/SF composite were implanted into the L4/5 spinal segment in autologous bone group, nHA/SF group and rhBMP-2/nHA/SF group, respectively. X-ray exmaination was performed at 12 weeks postoperatively, and then the animals were killed for gross observation. The stability of the fusion segments was tested through a tensile machine. Histologically, bone graft fusion at the surgical site was observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Findings from the gross specimen observation showed that the specimens at the fusion site presented with a hard texture. Obvious signs of fusion were visible in the autologous bone group, followed by the rhBMP-2/nHA/SF group, while no signs of fusion were detected in the nHA/SF group. (2) At 12 weeks postoperatively, a large number of trabecular bones grew into the boundary between the vertebral body and the iliac crest graft block in the autologous bone group. A little trabecular bone was found in the boundary in the nHA/SF group, while a lot of trabecular bone tissues were found in the boundary in the rhBMP-2/nHA/SF group. In accordance with the standard of fusion, there were 10, 3, and 9 rats in the autologous bone, nHA/SF and rhBMP-2/nHA/SF groups, respectively. (3) The range of motion of the spine in the rhBMP-2/nHA/SF showed no statistical difference from that in the autologous bone group, but was significantly higher than that in the nHA/SF group (P < 0.05). (4) Osseous connection was found around the bone graft in the autologous bone and nHA/SF groups, but no mature bone tissue was visible in the latter group. In the rhBMP-2/nHA/SF group, a large number of new capillaries was found and permeated into the spinal tissues. In summary, nHA/SF composite materials loaded with rhBMP-2 possess good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and bone induction ability, which can rebuild the initial stability of the spine in a short time.
