Objective:To validate and compare the value of the Status Epilepticus in Pediatric Severity Score (STEPSS) versus PEDSS in assessing the short-term prognosis of children with status epilepticus (SE).Methods:Clinical data of 152 children with SE hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the STEPSS and PEDSS scores, children with SE were scored and their prognosis was predicted.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the 2 scales in assessing the short-term prognosis of SE in children were plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC), optimal cut-off, sensitivity and specificity were calculated, thus validating and comparing the value of the STEPSS versus PEDSS in assessing the short-term prognosis of children with SE.Results:Of the 152 children with SE, 90 were male and 62 were female, with the age of (5.8±3.9) years (1 month to 15 years). There were 112 cases with good prognosis and 40 cases with poor prognosis, involving 13 deaths.The AUC of STEPSS and PEDSS scores in predicting the death in children with SE were 0.908(95% CI: 0.848-0.967) and 0.887(95% CI: 0.831-0.942), respectively, both with the optimal cut-off value of 4.The sensitivity of STEPSS and PEDSS scores in predicting the death in children with SE were 0.740 and 0.846, respectively, and the specificity were 0.745 and 0.835, respectively.There was no significant difference in predicting the death in children with SE between the 2 scales ( P>0.05). In predicting adverse outcomes, the AUC of the STEPSS and PEDSS scores were 0.869(95% CI: 0.800-0.937) and 0.926(95% CI: 0.873-0.979), respectively, both with the optimal cut-off value of 3.The sensitivity of STEPSS and PEDSS scores in predicting adverse outcomes in children with SE were 0.827 and 0.900, respectively, and the specificity were 0.732 and 0.866, respectively.There was significant difference in predicting the adverse outcomes in children with SE between the 2 scales ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the STEPSS, the PEDSS has a higher application in predicting the short-term treatment outcome of children with SE, which can be used as a routine method to assess the prognosis of children with SE.

At present, implant surgery robots have basically achieved "surgical intelligence", but "brain-inspired intelligence" of robots is still in the stage of theory and exploration. The formulation of a clinical implantation plan depends on the timing of implantation, implantation area, bone condition, surgical procedure, patient factors, etc., which need to evaluate the corresponding clinical decision indicators and clinical pathways. Inspired by evidence-based medicine and the potential of big data and deep learning, combined with the data characteristics of clinical decision indicators and clinical pathways that can be quantitatively or qualitatively analyzed, this review simulates the cognitive behavior and neural mechanisms of the human brain and proposes a feasible brain-inspired intelligence scheme by predicting the decision indices and executing clinical pathways intelligently, that is, "select clinical indicators and clarify clinical pathways -- construct database -- use deep learning to intelligently predict decision indicators -- intelligent execution of clinical pathways -- brain-inspired intelligence of implant decision-making". Combined with the previous research results of our team, this review also describes the process of realization of brain-inspired intelligence for immediate implant timing decisions, providing an example of the comprehensive realization of brain-inspired intelligence of implant surgery robots in the future. In the future, how to excavate and summarize other clinical decision factors and select the best way to realize the automatic prediction of evidence-based clinical indicators and pathways and finally realize the complete intellectualization of clinical diagnosis and treatment processes will be one of the directions that dental clinicians need to strive for.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of wide pedicled with double-vessel flap of posterior lateral calf in repair of soft tissue defect in hind foot.Methods:From January 2018 to June 2021, 12 patients with soft tissue defects on hind foot were reconstructed with double-vessel flaps pedicled perforator of peroneal artery and sural nerve nutrient vessels in the Department of Trauma Orthopaedics, No.940 Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army Joint Service Support Force. The patients were 8 males and 4 females, aged 9-45(27.17±12.14) years old. Time after injury to admission was 6-24(10.17±4.80) hours. Six patients were with simple soft tissue defects, 2 with tendon defects, 3 with bone defects and 1 with postoperative infection due to an open fracture. The sizes of soft tissue defect ranged from 4 cm×5 cm-8 cm×12 cm. Soft tissue defects were reconstructed by transfer of posterolateral calf flaps, and the bone defects were repaired by phase I or phase II bone grafts or antibiotic cement and membrane induction according to the wound surface. For larger bone defects, stage-II bone transport was carried out to restore the length of the hind foot. Defects of Achilles tendon were reconstructed by direct suture or tendon transposition. Foot functions were evaluated by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgery(AOFAS) ankle-posterior sufficient scale, visual analogue scale(VSA) score and flap healing. All patients were included in postoperative follow-up regularly through outpatient clinic or via WeChat.Results:All 12 patients had postoperative follow-up that lasted for 6-24(12.92±6.22) months. One flap developed dark purple colour with swelling at the distal end of the flap 3 days after surgery. It eventually healed after removed some sutures from the pedicle together with blood-letting on the flap surface. Three flaps developed local infection, and they were cured after debridement, dressing change and the use of sensitive antibiotics. The remaining 8 patients had achieved good appearance of flaps and normal ankle function. According to AOFAS, scores of ankle-posterior sufficiency scale increased from 14-45(25.25±5.42) before surgery up to 65-96(75.92±7.73) at the final follow-up. Of the 12 patients, 8 were in excellent, 2 in good and 2 in fair. The VAS scores decreased from 5-8(6.55±1.13) before surgery down to 0-4(1.55±1.37) at the final follow-up. The difference had statistics significance( P<0.01). All patients had satisfactory recovery of ankle function, with the extension at 15-20 degrees and plantar flexion of 30-40 degrees. The donor site healed well and all skin grafts survived. Conclusion:The double-vessel flap pedicled with perforating branch of peroneal artery and nutrient vessels of sural nerve can be used for reconstruction of soft tissue defect of hind foot. It achieved good surgical effects with reliable blood supply, smooth venous return, strong anti-infection ability, satisfactory appearance at donor site and flap itself, as well as a good recovery of foot function.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of femoral neck system (FNS) and cannulated compression screw (CCS) in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in the young and middle-aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 91 patients with femoral neck fracture admitted to Fuzhou Second Hospital from July 2020 to December 2021, including 52 males and 39 females; aged 23-65 years [(48.9±10.3)years]. Garden classification of the fracture found that 31 patients were with type I, 9 with type II, 12 with type III and 39 with type IV. Pauwels classification of the fracture found that 7 patients were with type I, 33 with type II and 51 with type III. A total of 53 patients were treated with FNS fixation (FNS group) and 38 patients with CCS fixation (CCS group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, Haidukewych fracture reduction quality, hospitalization time, Barthel index, fracture healing time, and weight-bearing time were compared between the two groups. The hip function was assessed by Harris hip score in both groups at postoperative 3 months, 6 months and 1 year and at the final follow-up. The incidences of postoperative complication and secondary surgery were also compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 15-31 months [(22.2±5.5)months]. There were no significant differences in the operation time, Haidukewych fracture reduction quality, hospitalization time, or Barthel index (all P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss in the FNS group was 50.0(20.0,85.0)ml, which was more than that in the CCS group [20.0(10.0,50.0)ml] ( P<0.01). The fracture healing time, partial weight-bearing time, and full weight-bearing time in the FNS group [4.0(3.0,5.0)months, 3.0(2.0,3.0)months, 5.0(4.5,6.0)months] were shorter than those in the CCS group [6.0(5.0,7.0)months, 3.0(2.8,4.0)months, 6.0(6.0,7.0)months] (all P<0.01). The Harris hip score at postoperative 3 months, 6 months and 1 year and at the final follow-up were 74.0(71.0,77.0)points, 87.0(84.0,88.5)points, 91.0(88.0,95.0)points, and 94.0(91.0,96.0)points in the FNS group, significantly higher than those in the CCS group [73.0(70.0,74.0)points, 82.5(79.8,87.0)points, 88.0(83.5,91.0)points, 89.0(84.0,93.0)points] (all P<0.05 or 0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidences of postoperative complication or secondary surgery between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with CCS, FNS can shorten fracture healing time, allow patients to carry full weight as soon as possible, and significantly improve hip function in the treatment of middle-aged and young adults with femoral neck fracture, although there is more intraoperative blood loss.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of sequential plate internal fixation in the correction of Madelung deformity after ulnar osteotomy and shortening. METHODS: The clinical data of 13 patients with Madelung deformity admitted between September 2015 and July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 males and 8 females with an average age of 18.3 years ranging from 17 to 23 years. The disease duration ranged from 12 to 24 months, with an average of 17 months. Three cases had a clear history of trauma. All patients had external radial deviation deformity and limited movement of the ulnar deviation, and the ulnar impact pain was significant during ulnar deviation movement; 9 patients had limited wrist joint supination movement, and the supination movement was normal. In the first stage, ulnar osteotomy and shortening combined with external fixator were used to correct wrist deformity in 13 patients. After operation, bone transfer was performed 6 times per day, with adjustments made every 4 hours, which was 1 mm per day. After the osteotomy was in place, the ulnar plate internal fixation was performed to reconstruct the ulnar stability in the second stage. The Cooney wrist joint score was used to assess the pain, function, range of motion, flexion and extension range of motion, and grip strength of the wrist joint before operation and before the removal of internal fixator. The subjective feeling and appearance satisfaction of patients were recorded. RESULTS: After the second-stage operation, all the 13 patients were followed up 10-22 months, with an average of 15 months. The deformity of wrist joint disappeared after operation, and the flexion, extension, and ulnar deviation were basically normal. There was no complication such as ulnar impingement sign, nonunion or infection. Wrist function, pain, and range of motion were significantly improved after operation, except for 1 patient who had no significant improvement in rotation and pain. The ulnar internal fixator was removed at 10-18 months after the second-stage operation. The scores of pain, function, range of motion, flexion and extension range of motion, and grip strength in the Cooney wrist score before removal of internal fixator significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). Subjective and appearance satisfaction of patients were excellent in 9 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 1 case. CONCLUSION Ulnar osteotomy and shortening with sequential plate internal fixation for correction of Madelung deformity, with mild postoperative pain, can effectively avoid bone nonunion, improve wrist joint function, and have significant effectiveness.

It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of and risk factors for femoral neck shortening in young and middle-aged patients with displaced femoral neck fracture treated by a femoral neck system (FNS).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 135 patients with displaced femoral neck fracture who had been treated by closed reduction and FNS internal fixation at Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Hospital of Fuzhou from December 2019 to December 2021. There were 85 males and 50 females, with an age of 51 (42, 57) years and a body mass index of 22.6 (20.9, 24.2) kg/m 2. According to the Garden classification, there were 29 cases of type Ⅲ and 106 cases of type Ⅳ. Femoral neck shortening was observed. The patients' gender, age, side of shortening, body mass index, fracture type, high-energy injury, time from injury to surgery, cortical comminution at the fracture end, reduction quality (Garden index), partial weight bearing time, complete weight bearing time, and functional evaluation (Harris score) were recorded for a univariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors for moderate to severe shortening. Results:All the 135 patients were followed up for 17.2 (15.0, 20.2) months. Different degrees of femoral neck shortening happened in all patients, yielding an incidence of 100%(135/135). The femoral neck shortening was 4.2 (2.6, 7.7) mm in displaced femoral neck fractures fixated by FNS. The shortening continued to worsen within the first 3 months after operation, reaching a stable state in the first 6 months. Persistent shortening hardly occurred after 6 months. According to the shortening distance, the patients were divided into a mild shortening group (76 cases <5 mm) and a moderate to severe shortening group (59 cases ≥ 5 mm). The Harris score at the last follow-up in the mild shortening group (91.7 ± 2.3) was significantly higher than that in the moderate to severe shortening group (87.9 ± 3.8) ( P<0.001). The fracture healing rate was 98.7% (75/76) in the mild shortening group and 98.3% (58/59) in the moderate to severe shortening group, showing no significant difference ( P=1.000). Logistic regression analysis found that the risk factors for moderate to severe shortening were fracture type (type Ⅳ) ( OR = 10.227, 95% CI: 1.845 to 56.693, P = 0.008), cortical comminution at the fracture end (if present) ( OR=52.697, 95% CI: 9.870 to 281.352, P<0.001), and partial weight bearing time <4 weeks ( OR = 0.168, 95% CI: 0.032 to 0.893, P = 0.036). Conclusions:The incidence of femoral neck shortening may be high in young and middle-aged patients with displaced femoral neck fracture treated by FNS, leading to decreased hip function. The main risk factors for femoral neck shortening are fracture type (Garden type Ⅳ), cortical comminution at the fracture end and partial weight-bearing time less than 4 weeks.

Objective:To explore the pathogenic characteristics of incision wound infections after breast cancer surgery and related influencing factors.Methods:Clinical files of 200 middle-aged and elderly patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer in the Affiliated Three Gorges Hospital from May 2016 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of pathogenic bacteria and drug sensitivity tests were examined, and the influencing factors of postoperative incision infections after breast cancer surgery were analyzed.Results:Among 200 middle-aged and elderly patients aged 55-75 years who underwent breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer, 13 patients(4.64%)developed postoperative incision infections, with 40 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated, including 14 strains of gram-positive bacteria, 25 strains of gram-negative bacteria and 1 fungal strain.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR=3.40), duration of surgery( OR=2.50), albumin level( OR=2.83), underlying diseases( OR=4.23), preventive use of antibiotics( OR=3.14)and length of hospital stay( OR=2.33)were independent risk factors for postoperative incision infections in breast cancer patients(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Common pathogens of incision infections after breast-conserving surgery are Gram-negative bacteria.There are many factors affecting postoperative incision infections.Clinical measures need to be taken to reduce or prevent postoperative incision infections.

Objective:To investigate the effects of anterolateral wide pedicled double dynamic flap of the calf in repair of soft tissue defects of mid-and forefoot.Methods:From September 2015 to Septemler 2020, 15 cases with severe soft tissue defects of mid-and forefoot were repaired with the anterolateral wide pedicled double dynamic flap of the calf. There were 11 males and 4 females with an average age of 37(range, 22-53)years old. Of the 15 cases, the defects were caused by traffic accident in 6 cases and objects smash in 9 cases. Three cases were simple soft tissue defect, and 12 cases combined with fracture or dislocation and bone defect. The size of soft tissue defects ranged from 4 cm×5 cm to 7 cm×12 cm. All wounds of donor sites were repaired by skin grafting. All patients entered follow-ups at the outpatient clinic or through WeChat. The appearance of flaps and limb recovery were recorded after surgery.Results:All cases followed-up for 6-24 (mean, 16) months. Two days after surgery, 1 case had flap swelling and cyanosis, which was improved after pedicle suture removal and surface bloodletting. The pedicle of the flap was slightly bloated in 4 cases, and the texture and appearance were good in 11 cases. The ankle function of all cases recovered satisfactorily. The ranges of ankle motion were 15°-20° for dorsiflexion and 30°-40° for plantar flexion. The donor site healed well and all the skin grafts survived.Conclusion:The anterolateral wide pedicled double dynamic flap of the calf is one of the ideal flaps for repairing the soft tissue defects of the mid-and forefoot with reliable blood supply, sufficient venous return, simple operation and no require a vascular anastomosis.

Objective:To research whether ectopic over-expression of Pim-2 could cause chang-liver cell (LO2) malignant transformation,to explore the relationship between Pim-2 protein and hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:Three groups of cells were arranged including human chang liver cell line LO2 (group C),LO2 cells transfected with empty-vector (group B) and LO2 cells transfected with Pim-2 gene (group A).Pim-2 expression levels were detected.The morphology,proliferation level,apoptosis rate and migration ability of the cells were detected respectively.The cells were subcutaneously inoculated into athymic mice and the microstructures of the neoplasm were observed by optical and electron microscopy.Results:Compared with group B,Pim-2 expression levels were significantly higher in group A (P＜0.05),and their morphology had obvious malignant changes.They also showed a significantly increased proliferation rate (P＜0.05) and migration capacity (P＜0.05),as well as a significantly decreased apoptosis rate (P＜0.05).Only the athymic mice inoculated with group A could generate neoplasm,and the morphology of the neoplasm coincided with that of the hepatoma.Conclusion:Both the morphological and biological changes of LO2/Pim-2 cells indicate the trend of malignant transformation,which could generate hepatoma in athymic mice.Pim-2 could induce malignant transformation of human liver.
