[Objective] To explore the correlation between the 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) and acute kidney injury (AKI) after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in elderly patients with renal cancer, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of postoperative AKI. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 214 elderly patients (≥60 years) who underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy at our hospital during Dec.2018 and Dec.2021.Patients were divided into frail group (n=75, mFI-5≥2) and non-frail group (n=139, mFI-5<2). The incidence of AKI and sub items of mFI-5 were compared between the two groups.According to the occurrence of AKI, patients were divided into AKI group (n=77) and non-AKI group (n=137). Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were conducted to identify risk factors of AKI.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to test the effectiveness of mFI-5 in predicting AKI. [Results] The incidence of AKI was significantly higher in the frail group than in the non-frail group (64.00% vs. 20.86%, P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the incidence of AKI was related to gender, diabetes, hypertension, nonfunctional independent status, weakness and split kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=2.454, 95%CI: 1.193—5.047), complicated weakness (OR=6.580, 95%CI: 3.380—12.811), and low split kidney GFR (OR=0.945, 95%CI: 0.911—0.980) were independent risk factors of AKI (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of AKI predicted by mFI-5 was 0.711. [Conclusion] Preoperative mFI-5 score is an effective predictor of AKI in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.As patients with frailty have a higher risk of AKI, preoperative evaluation and monitoring should be strengthened and timely intervention should be taken to improve the prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To reveal the role of the basal forebrain(BF)GABAergic neurons in the regulation of isoflurane anesthesia and to elucidate the underlying neural pathways.METHODS The activity of BF GABAer-gic neurons was monitored during isoflurane anesthesia using a genetically encoded calcium indicator in Vgat-Cre mice of both sexes.The activity of BF GABAer-gic neurons was manipulated by chemogenetic and opto-genetic approaches.Sensitivity,induction time and emer-gence time of isoflurane anesthesia were estimated by righting reflex.The electroencephalogram(EEG)power and burst-suppression were monitored by EEG recording.The effects of activation of GABAergic BF-thalamic reticu-lar nucleus(TRN)pathway on isoflurane anesthesia were investigated with optogenetics.RESULTS The activity of BF GABAergic neurons was generally inhibited during isoflurane anesthesia,obviously decreased during the induction of anesthesia and gradually restored during the emergence from anesthesia.Activation of BF GABAergic neurons with chemogenetics and optogenetics promoted behavioral emergence from isoflurane anesthesia,with decreased sensitivity to isoflurane,delayed induction and accelerated emergence from isoflurane anesthesia.Optogenetic activation of BF GABAergic neurons prom-oted cortical activity during isoflurane anesthesia,with decreased EEG delta power and burst suppression ratio during 0.8%and 1.4%isoflurane anesthesia,respectively.Similar to the effects of activating BF GABAergic cell bod-ies,photostimulation of BF GABAergic terminals in the TRN also strongly promoted cortical activation and behav-ioral emergence from isoflurane anesthesia.CONCLU-SION The GABAergic neurons in the BF is a key neural substrate for general anesthesia regulation that facilitates behavioral and cortical emergence from general anesthe-sia via the BF-TRN pathway.

【Objective】 To investigate the predictive value of preoperative controlled nutritional status (CONUT) score and ratio of hemoglobin to red cell distribution width (HRR) for survival of patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical surgery. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was performed on 145 UTUC patients who underwent surgical treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University during May 2011 and Jun. 2017. Clinic opathologic data were collected, the best cut-off values of CONUT score and HRR were determined with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the CONUT-HRR scoring system was established. The correlation between different CONUT-HRR scores and clinic opathological indicators of UTUC patients was compared. The application value of CONUT-HRR score in predicting the prognosis of UTUC patients was evaluated with Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional risk regression model. 【Results】 The optimal cut-off values of preoperative CONUT score and HRR for predicting cancer specific survival (CSS) were 3 and 10.41, respectively. The patients were divided into three groups: CONUT-HRR 0 group (n=62, CONUT score <3 and HRR ≥10.41), CONUT-HRR 1 group (n=51, CONUT score <3 and HRR <10.41, or CONUT score ≥3 and HRR≥10.41), and CONUT-HRR 2 group (n=32, CONUT score ≥3 and HRR <10.41). CONUT-HRR score was correlated with age, surgical method, pathological T stage, lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve results showed that the 5-year CSS of CONUT-HRR 0, 1 and 2 groups were 96.4%, 65.8% and 30.9%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). Cox regression model showed that CONUT-HRR score, pathological T stage, lymph node metastasis and vascular infiltration were independent factors of CSS. 【Conclusion】 Preoperative CONUT-HRR score can be used as a simple and reliable indicator to evaluate the prognosis of UTUC patients. Higher score indicates worse prognosis.

【Objective】 To effectively differentiate adrenal adenoma (AA) and small diameter pheochromocytoma (PCC) by establishing a clinical-radiomic nomogram model before surgery. 【Methods】 A total of 132 pathologically confirmed patients (45 PCC cases, 87 AA cases) were enrolled. After the features of enhanced CT were assessed, the radiomic features and related clinical indicators were extracted. Based on multiple Logistic regression, a clinical-radiomic nomogram with radiomic features and independent clinical predictors was developed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used for internal evaluation to compare the diagnostic effectiveness of the three models. The clinical effectiveness of the nomogram was verified with decision curve analysis (DCA). 【Results】 One of the 108 candidate features was used to construct the radiological feature score. Individualized clinical-radiomic nomogram included independent clinical factors (24 h urinary vanmandelic acid/renin/angiotensin I) and original first-order median radiological feature scores. Internal evaluation of the prediction model showed that the AUC was 0.945 (95%CI:0.906-0.984), superior to the single clinical model or radiological model in precise differentiation. DCA showed that the nomogram had the best clinical use. 【Conclusion】 The clinical-radiomic nomogram model can effectively differentiate adrenal adenoma from small diameter pheochromocytoma, which can improve the preoperative differential diagnosis and preparation.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.

Objective:To investigate the surgical method and therapeutic effect of reconstruction of distal blood supply of multiple segments of severed finger body by ortho phalanx artery bridge transfer.Methods:Between November, 2005 and February, 2019, 7 finger body was replanted in 7 cases with 3 segments. Due to the short middle finger body and severe bruising, the power could not pass through the middle section after the proximal finger artery anastomosis. For the long section of blood supply, in order to prevent the skin and blood vessels from separating too much and causing the middle internal artery to separate from the phalanx, after anastomosis of the middle artery, the blood supply was provided by anastomosis with the distal phalanx artery by means of the adjacent phalanx artery bridge. Four cases with vascular pedicle grafts. The skin was sewn into tube in 3 cases, and separate fingers between 3.5 and 6.0 months after operation. Four cases of posterior artery recalcitration and 3 cases of direct adjacent artery transposition. The appearance, sensation and total motion of finger joints were observed and the satisfaction of patients was investigated to evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results:Seven patients with replantation finger were all alive after operation, and the follow-up time was 5 to 40 months respectively. The total range of motion of flexion and extension of finger joints was 100°-170°, and the TPD of finger pulp was 7-12 mm, with an average of 9.6 mm. According to Michigan's functional questionnaire, 7 patients were satisfied with the overall appearance and function of their opponents. According to the evaluation standard of the replantation function of the broken finger of the Chinese Medical Association, 3 cases were excellent and 4 cases were good.Conclusion:It is a simple and effective way to reconstruct the blood supply of multi-segment severed fingers by means of adjacent finger artery bridge transfer.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of transvaginal anterior pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh in treatment of patients with cystocele and lower urinary tract symptoms.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 32 patients who underwent transvaginal anterior pelvic reconstruction with mesh from June 2015 to February 2019 was performed. The age of the patients was 57-86 years old, with an average of (67.8±7.6) years; body mass index(BMI) (22.6±3.0) kg/m 2; mean duration of disease (2.9±2.3) years; delivery 1-7 times, mean(3.0±1.5) times. All patients underwent transvaginal anterior pelvic reconstruction. The anterior wall of the vagina was incised, and the space between the pelvic floor and the bladder was bluntly separated. The mesh was placed under the guidance of the puncture needle after locating marks of body surface. Patients underwent the American Urological Association Symptom Scoring (AUASS) with (14.2±3.5) points, the residual urine (71.3±53.0) ml and the maximum urine flow rate (16.9 ± 3.8) ml/s were measured preoperative. The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory(POPDI-6), Urogenital Distress Inventory(UDI-6) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire(PFIQ-7) were recorded as the value of (48.0±7.3) points, (41.7 ± 8.2) points and (62.5 ± 16.4) points, respectively. Thirty-two patients were divided into 2 groups as the group of urinary storage symptom (22 patients) and the group of voiding symptom (10 patients) according to the preoperative lower urinary tract symptoms. The operative time, intraoperative bleeding volume and average hospital stay were recorded. The patients were followed up with AUASS, maximum urine flow rate, residual urine, POPDI-6, UDI-6, PFIQ-7 and complications during and after operations. Results:All the operations of 32 cases were successfull. The average operation time was (61.1±18.6) min, the average intraoperative blood loss was (41.5±12.3)ml, and the average hospital day was (9.1±1.8)d. There were no major organ injuries such as bladder, ureter, iliac vessels and rectum. 27 patients were followed up for 3 to 36 months, with an average of (24.7±10.8) months. There significant improvement of LUTS. At the last follow-up, the AUASS storage phase score (3.4±1.9) points in the urinary storage symptom group(19 patients) and the AUASS urinating phase score (3.9±1.7) points in the voiding symptom group(8 patients) were compared with the preoperative AUASS scores (11.6±1.9) points and (13.9±1.2) points which were significantly reduced. By the last follow up of all the 27 patients, residual urine (23.4±11.0)ml, POPDI-6(3.1±5.4) points, UDI-6 (3.2±5.1) points and PFIQ-7 (12.4±1.7) points were significantly lower than preoperative data. The maximum urinary flow rate(22.4±4.1)ml/s, was significantly higher than that before the operation. All the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). All patients had no recurrence of cystocele. One patient had anterior vaginal wall mesh exposure 3 months after surgery. After removing excess mesh in the outpatient clinic, she was cured by smearing with estrogen ointment. One patient experienced frequent urination and urgency who was cured by oral tolterodine tartrate. One patient with de novo mild SUI during the 1-year follow-up. The symptoms were improved in the outpatient clinic after pelvic floor muscle exercise. At 2-year follow-up, one patient was observed de novo mild posterior wall prolapse with no clinical manifestations and no treatment was carried out. Conclusions:Transvaginal anterior pelvic reconstruction with mesh could be effective in treating cystocele with lower urinary tract symptoms with less surgical trauma, fewer complications and lower recurrence rate. It could effectively improve lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and difficulty urinating.However, safety issues such as the incidence of long-term de novo SUI and mesh exposure still require further long-term follow-up.

Objective To investigate the application efficacy of oral acetaminophen stapler with compound lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection in local anesthesia cystoscopy.Methods From January 2016 to June 2017,180 male patients aged from 60 to 86 years old,whose average age was 71 years old and treated by local anesthesia cystoscopy were collected in this study in the department of Urology of Xuzhou Medical University Affiliated hospital.They were divided into two groups according to the time sequence of visiting doctor.The patients in the research group were treated with oral acetaminophen stapler with compound lidocaine cream and lidocaine injection urethral infusion anesthesia before the examination.The control group was using lidocaine injection urethral infusion anesthesia.To compare the successful rate of operation,operating time and the visual analogue score (VAS) before and after the operation,the patients'limb twist and the tension were observed and recorded.The software of SPSS 16.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results The successful rate of operation in research group and control group was 97.78％ and 91.11％.The VAS score before the operation was (3.2 ± 1.8) and (6.8 ± 2.2).The incidence of complications after treatment was 5.55％ (5/90) and 27.78％ (25/90).The PSS score of 1 h after treatment was (1.1 ± 1.7) and (3.1 ± 1.2).The satisfaction rate was 90.0％ (81/90) and 57.8％(52/90).The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P ＜ 0.05).However,the opertion time between the two groups was (6.2 ± 1.7) and (6.9 ± 2.1) min.One hour after the opertion,the VAS score was (1.2±0.7) and (1.5±1.1).The score of PSS before the opertionwas (3.4±1.5) and (3.8±1.1).There were no significant differences between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Taking oral acetaminophen stapler with compound lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection in local anesthesia cystoscopy could obviously reduce urethral pain and the anxiety in the opertion of local anesthesia cystoscopy,which obviously superior to use lidocaine injection urethral infusion anesthesia only.The efficacy and safety were definitely and had got better clinical outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) plus long-segment pedicle nail bar system in treating kyphosis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with thoracolumbar fractures.Methods A retrospective case series study was made on the clinical data of 13 patients with kyphosis in AS combined with thoracolumbar fractures admitted to Xiaoshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2012 to May 2016.There were 11 males and two females,aged 32-64 years [(44.3 ± 10.6) years].Two fractures occurred at T11,five at T12,three at L1,and three at L2.According to the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification,the spinal injuries were rated as grade B in one patient,grade C in four,grade D in five and grade E in three.All patients underwent PSO plus long-segment pedicle nail bar system.The operation duration,intraoperative blood loss,fixation segments,and complications were recorded.Thoracolumbar kyphosis angle (TL) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured to evalute the correction effect.Visual analogue scale (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI),ASIA grade were compared before and after operation to assess the efficacy.Results All patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(15.2 ± 1.2) months].The operation time ranged from 120 to 256 minutes [(175.2 ±40.3)minutes].The intraoperative blood loss ranged from 660 to 3 300 ml [(1 011 ±681)ml].Number of fixed seqments was 12-16 (12.2 ±0.8).Anemia occurred in one patient after operation,and the patient recovered after blood transfusion.Incision infection occurred in one patient after operation,which was improved after antibiotic treatment through osmotic culture.Compared with the detection before operation,postoperative TL was improved significantly [(52.6 ± 6.2) ° vs.(17.1 ± 3.1) °],with an average correction rate of 67.5％;final follow-up showed decreased VAS [(7.5 ± 0.7) points vs.(1.9 ± 0.6) points] and decreased ODI [(75.2 ±5.3) points vs.(22.9 ± 4.4) points] (P ＜ 0.05);SVA was improved significantly [(11.5 ± 2.1) cm vs.(3.5 ± 0.9) cm],with an average correction rate of 69.6％ (P ＜ 0.05).ASIA grade was significantly improved at the final follow-up,including grade D in three patients and grade E in ten patients (P ＜0.05).There was no case of epidural hematoma or infection after operation,and no loosening of internal fixator or pseudarthrosis formation occurred during follow-up.Conclusion For kyphosis in AS combined with thoracolumbar fractures,PSO osteotomy plus long segment pedicle nail bar system treatment can significantly reduce lower back pain and promote functional recovery.
