BACKGROUND:At present,research has only shown that the cervical lordosis ratio can be an important factor in predicting the loss of lordosis curvature after laminoplasty,and no one has studied whether the cervical lordosis ratio,a dynamic level indicator,can be one of the decision-making factors for the selection of posterior cervical surgical procedures. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether the cervical lordosis ratio,an index of cervical hyperextension and hyperflexion,can be used as a selective index for laminoplasty and laminectomy fusion. METHODS:A retrospective review of 141 patients who had undergone posterior cervical surgery more than one year of follow-up due to multi-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy from December 2015 to March 2020 was performed.Among them,63 patients received laminectomy and fusion(laminectomy and fusion group)and 78 patients received laminoplasty(laminoplasty group).The demographic statistics(gender,age,body mass index,follow-up time),imaging indexes such as C2-7 Cobb angle,C2-7 range of motion,flexion Cobb angle,extension Cobb angle,flexion range of motion and extension range of motion,clinical effect indexes such as Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and visual analog scale score were compared between the two groups.The evaluation index of cervical lordosis alignment change was C2-7 Cobb angle difference before and after operation(ΔCL).Cervical lordosis ratio was equal to 100%×flexion range of motion/C2-7 range of motion.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the role of cervical lordosis ratio in predicting postoperative severe cervical lordosis loss(ΔCL≤-10°).According to the critical value of cervical lordosis ratio(68.5%),all patients were divided into low cervical lordosis ratio group and high cervical lordosis ratio group.In these two ratio groups,the cervical lordosis alignment index and clinical effect index between the two operation groups were discussed again. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Cervical lordosis alignment decreased after laminectomy and fusion and laminoplasty(P=0.039,P=0.002),and cervical lordosis alignment change in laminoplasty group(ΔCL)was greater than that of laminectomy and fusion group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant.(2)Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis,cervical lordosis ratio in predicting severe cervical lordosis alignment change(ΔCL≤-10°)had good identification ability(area under the curve=0.792).(3)In low cervical lordosis ratio group,there was no significant difference in cervical lordosis alignment change(ΔCL)between laminectomy and fusion group and laminoplasty group(P=0.141).(4)In high cervical lordosis ratio group,the ΔCL of laminoplasty group was greater than that in laminectomy and fusion group(P=0.001),which had a higher probability of postoperative severe cervical lordosis alignment change(ΔCL≤-10°)(43%,29%).(5)It is indicated that cervical lordosis ratio can be used as a decision-making index for the choice of posterior surgery for multi-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Laminoplasty can be considered in the low cervical lordosis ratio group,while laminectomy and fusion can be considered in the high cervical lordosis ratio group.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of new simplified insulin resistance(IR)assessment indexes in identifying subclinical left ventricular systolic function impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 150 T2DM patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF≥50%)who were admitted to Department of Endocrinology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from June 2021 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography to measure left ventricular global longitudinal strain(GLS).According to GLS value,the subjects were divided into the normal group(GLS≥18%group,n=80)and the impaired group(GLS<18%group,n=70).Some new simplified IR assessment indicators were calculated and compared between the two groups,including body mass index(BMI),TG/HDL-C ratio,triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index,TyG-BMI index,TyG-WHR and metabolic score for IR(METS-IR).Correlation between the GLS and the new simplified IR assessment indexes was analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of different simplified IR assessment indexes,with the area under the curve(AUC)calculated.Furthermore,according to whether the subjects were complicated with hypertension,binary logistics regression analysis was performed to explore the independent correlation between the simplified IR assessment index and GLS<18%.Results Total 150 were included with aged(54.5±13.7)years with 96(64.0%)men and 54(36.0%)women.Compared with the GLS≥18%group,the TG/HDL-C ratio,TyG index,TyG-BMI,and METS-IR of subjects in the GLS<18%group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that TG/HDL-C ratio,TyG index,TyG-BMI,TyG-WHR,and METS-IR were negatively correlated with GLS(P<0.05).ROC analysis showed that TyG index had a certain predictive value for the evaluation of GLS<18%(AUC=0.678,95%CI 0.591-0.765,P<0.001).Stratification based on hypertension and further adjusting for confounding factors,TyG index remains significantly associated with GLS<18%(OR=3.249,95%CI 1.045-10.103,P=0.042).Conclusions The novel simplified insulin resistance evaluation indexes are closely associated with left ventricular subclinical systolic dysfunction in T2DM patients with preserved ejection fraction.TyG index is an effective index to identify left ventricular subclinical dysfunction in these populations.

Objective To discuss the application of the"rotating guidewire and correcting the filter recovery hook direction technique"("rotation-correction loop technique"for short),a technique invented by the authors in clinical practice,in the retrieval of complex inferior vena cava filter(IVCF),and to discuss its technical skills and advantages.Methods The clinical data of 417 patients carrying an IVCF,who were admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery of Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University of China to retrieve IVCF between January 2022 and December 2022,were retrospectively analyzed.Taking the time spent on the retrieval of IVCF and the intraoperative radiation dose as the evaluation indicators,the advantages and disadvantages of the standard filter retrieval technique,the"rotation-correction loop technique"and the other loop-assisted techniques were compared.Results Both the intraoperative radiation dose and the time spent on the retrieval of IVCF using"rotation-correction loop technique"were remarkably lower than those of other loop-assisted techniques(P＜0.000 1).Conclusion For the retrieval of complex IVCF,especially for the IVCF which is heavily tilted and/or its recovered hook is attached to the vascular wall,the use of"rotation-correction loop technique"can shorten the time spent on the the retrieval of IVCF and reduce the intraoperative radiation dose.This technique carries high safety and practicability,the device is simple and it can be manipulated by single physician,which is conducive to clinical application and promotion.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:289-294)

Based on medical cases about ginger juice in A Clinical Guide with Case Histories （《临证指南医案》）， we found that YE Tianshi apply ginger juice into the medicine mainly take its function of warming stomach to stop nausea， acrid-moist to unblock the collaterals， dissolving phlegm to expel fluid retention. It is often used with Ganjiang （Zingiber officinale）， Fuzi （Cyperus rotundus） and other warm medicinals to warm the yang qi； with Banxia （Pinellia ternata）， Huanglian （Picrorhiza kurroa） and other bitter-acrid medicinals to clear dampness and heat； with Zhuli （Arundo donax）， Juhong （Citrus reticulata） and other phlegm-resolving medicinals to clear turbid phlegm. Compared with the whole ginger， ginger juice is soft and easy to be absorbed； it is acrid-moist and can unblock the collaterals with stronger power. At the same time， it can enhance the effect of dissolving phlegm to expel fluid retention. Ginger juice can improve the efficacy of the medicinals and broaden the scope of ginger's medicinal use.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Narrative medicine,as an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of humanistic education and medical edu-cation,is an effective means of implementing medical humanities.It not only fosters deeper empathy and communication between doctors and patients but also plays an important role in clinical practice and the cultivation of humanistic qualities.This study starts from the core connotation of integrating narrative medicine into the doctor-patient relationship,focusing on the value logic of narrative medicine empowering humanistic care.Utilizing a typical case from a hospital in Tianjin that practices humanistic care based on narrative medicine,the study examines the organizational structure,practical activities,humanistic care initiatives,health education,supportive measures,and outcomes of the narrative medicine healthcare management team.The conclusion drawn is that exploring mechanisms for medical communication and the cultivation of humanistic qualities can facilitate the mutual transformation of narrative and empathy skills,the organic combination of narrative medicine with evidence-based medicine,and the complementary relationship between clinical medicine and humanistic education.This approach aims to alleviate the increas-ingly prominent conflicts between doctors and patients,bridge the gap between humanity and technology,and promote the imple-mentation of medical humanities in clinical settings.

Objective:To study the association of serum thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free thyroxine(FT4)levels with blood pressure variability(BPV)and renal injury in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods:A total of 110 elderly patients with hypertension treated in Dongtai People's Hospital between February 2019 and January 2021 were retrospectively enrolled as hypertension group,while another 105 healthy subjects with corresponding baseline data undergo-ing physical examination simultaneously in our hospital were regarded as control group.Serum TSH and FT4 levels,BPV indexes[24h systolic blood pressure coefficient of variant(24hSCV),24h diastolic blood pressure coefficient of variant(24hDCV),daytime systolic blood pressure coefficient of variant(dSCV),daytime diastolic blood pressure coefficient of variant(dDCV),nighttime systolic blood pressure coefficient of variant(nSCV)and nighttime diastolic blood pressure co-efficient of variant(nDCV)]and renal injury indexes[urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR),estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)]were compared between two groups.Pearson method was used to analyze the association of TSH and FT4 levels with BPV and renal injury indexes;according to renal injury condition,hypertension group was divided into renal injury group(n=38)and normal group(n=72),then serum TSH and FT4 levels were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with control group,hypertension group showed a significant rise in TSH level,24hSCV,24hDCV,dSCV,dDCV,nSCV,nDCV,UACR and β2-MG levels,and significant reductions in FT4 level and eGFR(P＜0.001 all).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that TSH level was positively correlated with all BPV indexes(r=0.457～0.621,P＜0.001 all),while FT4 level was inversely correlated with all BPV indexes(r=-0.535～-0.402,P＜0.001 all);TSH was positively correlated with UACR and β2-MG(r=0.594,0.644,P＜0.001 both),and inversely correlated with eGFR(r=-0.420,P＜0.001);FT4 level was inversely correlated with UACR andβ2-MG(r=-0.561,-0.622,P＜0.001 both)and positively correlated with eGFR(r=0.409,P＜0.001).Com-pared with those in normal group,patients in renal injury group had significant higher TSH level,and significant lower FT4 level(P＜0.001 both).Conclusion:Serum TSH level significant rises,and FT4 level significantly decreases in elderly patients with hypertension.They have significant association with blood pressure variability and renal injury.
