Objective To observe the cage subsidence after oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF)for lumbar spondylo-sis,summarize the characteristics of the cage subsidence,analyze causes,and propose preventive measures.Methods The data of 144 patients of lumbar spine lesions admitted to our hospital from October 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively ana-lyzed.There were 43 males and 101 females,and the age ranged from 20 to 81 years old,with an average of(60.90±10.06)years old.Disease types:17 patients of lumbar intervertebral disc degenerative disease,12 patients of giant lumbar disc hernia-tion,5 patients of discogenic low back pain,33 patients of lumbar spinal stenosis,26 patients of lumbar degenerative spondy-lolisthesis,28 patients of lumbar spondylolisthesis with spondylolisthesis,11 patients of adjacent vertebral disease after lumbar internal fixation,7 patients of primary spondylitis in the inflammatory outcome stage,and 5 patients of lumbar degenerative scoliosis.Preoperative dual-energy X-ray bone mineral density examination showed 57 patients of osteopenia or osteoporosis,and 87 patients of normal bone density.The number of fusion segments:124 patients of single-segment,11 patients of two-seg-ment,8 patients of three-segment,four-segment 1 patient.There were 40 patients treated by stand-alone OLIF,and 104 patients by OLIF combined with posterior pedicle screw.Observed the occurrence of fusion cage settlement after operation,conducted monofactor analysis on possible risk factors,and observed the influence of fusion cage settlement on clinical results.Results All operations were successfully completed,the median operation time was 99 min,and the median intraoperative blood loss was 106 ml.Intraoperative endplate injury occurred in 30 patients and vertebral fracture occurred in 5 patients.The mean follow-up was(14.57±7.14)months from 6 to 30 months.During the follow-up,except for the patients of primary lumbar interstitial in-flammation and some patients of lumbar spondylolisthesis with spondylolisthesis,the others all had different degrees of cage subsidence.Cage subsidence classification:119 patients were normal subsidence,and 25 patients were abnormal subsidence(23 patients were grade Ⅰ,and 2 patients were grade Ⅱ).There was no loosening or rupture of the pedicle screw system.The height of the intervertebral space recovered from the preoperative average(9.48±1.84)mm to the postoperative average(12.65±2.03)mm,and the average(10.51±1.81)mm at the last follow-up.There were statistical differences between postop-erative and preoperative,and between the last follow-up and postoperative.The interbody fusion rate was 94.4％.The low back pain VAS decreased from the preoperative average(6.55±2.2 9)to the last follow-up(1.40±0.82),and there was statistically significant different.The leg pain VAS decreased from the preoperative average(4.72±1.49)to the final follow-up(0.60± 0.03),and the difference was statistically significant(t=9.13,P＜0.000 1).The ODI index recovered from the preoperative av-erage(38.50±6.98)％to the latest follow-up(11.30±3.27)％,and there was statistically significant different.The complication rate was 31.3％(45/144),and the reoperation rate was 9.72％(14/144).Among them,8 patients were reoperated due to fusion cage subsidence or displacement,accounting for 57.14％(8/14)of reoperation.The fusion cage subsidence in this group had obvious characteristics.The monofactor analysis showed that the number of abnormal subsidence patients in the osteopenia or osteoporosis group,Stand-alone OLIF group,2 or more segments fusion group,and endplate injury group was higher than that in the normal bone mass group,OLIF combined with pedicle screw fixation group,single segment fusion group,and no endplate injury group,and the comparison had statistical differences.Conclusion Cage subsidence is a common phenomenon after 0-LIF surgery.Preoperative osteopenia or osteoporosis,Stand-alone OLIF,2 or more segments of fusion and intraoperative end-plate injury may be important factors for postoperative fusion cage subsidence.Although there is no significant correlation be-tween the degree of cage subsidence and clinical symptoms,there is a risk of cage migration,and prevention needs to be strengthened to reduce serious complications caused by fusion of cage subsidence,including reoperation.

Objective To systematically analyze and identify key risk factors for postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage u-sing a combination of the random forest(RF)model and traditional logistic regression analysis,so as to provide data support for clinical practice.Methods This study included patients who underwent needle biopsy of lung masses from January 2020 to December 2023 in the Department of Interventional Therapy,Cancer Hospital,Tianjin Medical University.There were 844 cases,including 387 males and 457 females,ranging in age from 39 to 82 years.Clinical data and puncture-related characteristics were collected,including tumor size,puncture depth,puncture angle,presence of emphysema,lesion loca-tion in the lung,body position during puncture,whether the puncture passed through the interlobar fissure,and the number of punctures.The RF model was used to rank the importance of all variables,identifying those with the highest predictive value.Subsequently,a multivariate logistic regression model was applied to the top-ranked important variables to further e-valuate their independent impact on postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage.Results The RF model results showed that tumor size and puncture depth had the highest importance in predicting the risk of postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage.Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis further confirmed that smaller tumor size(HR:0.980,95％CI:0.971-0.989,P＜0.05)was significantly associated with a lower risk of hemorrhage,while greater puncture depth(HR:1.146,95％CI:1.063-1.235,P＜0.05)was closely related to a higher risk of hemorrhage.Additionally,other factors such as puncture angle,age,lesion location in the lung and presence of emphysema showed some influence but did not reach statistical significance in the multi-variate analysis.Conclusion This study successfully identified tumor size and puncture depth as independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage by combining the RF model with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The appli-cation of the RF model improved the accuracy of feature selection,allowing us to focus on the most contributory predictive variables.These findings provide important support for preoperative risk assessment,suggesting that clinicians should priori-tize these key factors in preoperative evaluations to develop safer and more effective surgical plans,thereby reducing the risk of postoperative hemorrhage and other complications.

Objective:To explore the application effect of microsurgical thinning optimized anterolateral thigh flap in the repair of limb tumor wounds.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with limb tumors at the Microsurgery and Reconstruction Department of Xuzhou Renci Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. All patients underwent surgical resection of the lesions and were repaired with microsurgical thinning optimized anterolateral thigh flap. The outpatient follow-up was conducted after surgery. One year after surgery, limb function and appearance were evaluated using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) bone tumor limb salvage surgery limb energy scale and efficacy satisfaction score. The total score is 30 points, and a higher score indicates better function. The limb appearance was evaluated using a satisfaction score scale, with a total score of 5-10 points being satisfactory, 0-4 points being average, and -5 to -1 points considered unsatisfactory. Descriptive methods were used for statistical analysis, and normally distributed measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD.Results:A total of 11 patients were included, comprising 7 males and 4 females, aged between 19 and 55 years, with an average age of 31.5 years. Among them, there were 3 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, 4 cases of invasive fibroma, 1 case of mucinous fibrosarcoma, 2 cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and 1 case of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. The tumor lesion ranged from 5.5 cm × 8.0 cm to 9.0 cm × 19.0 cm, and the tumor resection range during surgery was from 6.5 cm × 9.0 cm to 10.0 cm × 20.0 cm. The size of the skin flap ranged from 7.5 cm × 11.0 cm to 10.0 cm × 22.5 cm. The average thickness of the flap before thinning was 2.2 cm (1.6-3.5 cm), and the average thickness after thinning was 1.2 cm (0.9-1.7 cm). One case of superficial necrosis occurred at the edge of the flap measuring 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm after surgery, and the wound healed after dressing changes. One case of arterial crisis occurred 48 hours after surgery, and thrombus formation was detected at the distal end of the anastomosis during exploration. After reanastomosis, blood flow was restored. The remaining flaps survived well, and the incisions healed in one stage. The average postoperative follow-up period was 14.5 months (12-18 months) with no tumor recurrence. The MSTS score for limb function was (25.2±2.1) points, and the satisfaction score for limb appearance efficacy was (7.4±1.6) points, with a satisfaction rate of 10 out of 11.Conclusion:The application of microsurgical thinning optimized anterolateral thigh flap in the plastic surgery of limb tumors can restore satisfactory limb function and appearance, making it an ideal surgical method.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.

Cancerous fever is a non-infectious fever that occurs during the progression of malignant tumors,which is directly related to the tumor or is caused by tumor treatment.Based on the yin-fire theory,Professor WANG Xi-Xing believes that the qi deficiency of spleen and stomach and the upward flaming of yin-fire are the key pathogenesis of cancerous fever.The cancerous fever involves the three zang-organs of liver,spleen and kidney,and its treatment should be achieved mainly by replenishing qi with warm-sweet medicinals,invigorating spleen and elevating yang,and clearing and purging yin-fire.Moreover,the correlation between earth(spleen)and wood(liver)should be taken into account,and harmonizing spleen and stomach can be achieved by nourishing blood and relieving depression,and soothing liver to disperse fire;the transmission of yin-fire should be blocked through the method of nourishing yin and clearing heat,and inducing fire to return to the source.After years of clinical experience,Professor WANG Xi-Xing establised Buzhong Tiaogan Decoction(mainly composed of Astragali Radix,Codonopsis Radix,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,Cimicifugae Rhizoma,Bupleuri Radix,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Paeoniae Radix Alba,Ophiopogonis Radix,Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus,Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium,Scolopendra,Salviae Chinensis Herba,Fructus Akebiae,and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle),which is derived from Buzhong Yiqi Decoction.Buzhong Tiaogan Decoction is effective on relieving the symptoms of cancerous fever in cancer patients by benefiting the middle energizer qi,nourishing liver blood,regulating liver qi,eliminating abdominal mass and dissipating mass,so as to correct the cold,heat,yin and yang of the human body.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To observe the effect of resveratrol(Res)on T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia(T-ALL)mice,and further explore its mechanism on Notch1 signaling pathway.Methods:Twenty-five 6-8 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,T-ALL group and Res group.Res group was further divided into low-Res.middle-Res and high-Res group.The percentage of leukemia cells in peripheral blood and spleen cell suspension were detected by flow cytometry and Wright-Giemsa staining,pathological morphology of spleen and bone marrow tissues were observed by HE staining,the expression levels of Notch1,Hes-1,c-Myc,miR-19b and PTEN mRNA in spleen tissue were detected by RT-qPCR,and the protein levels of Notch1,Hes-1,c-Myc,p-PTEN and PTEN were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with control group,the leukemia cells in peripheral blood of mice in T-ALL group were markedly increased,accompanied by diffuse infiltration of leukemia cells in spleen and bone marrow tissues,the mRNA levels of Notch1,Hes-1,c-Myc,miR-19b and the protein levels of Notch1.Hes-1,c-Myc were increased(P＜0.01),while the expression of PTEN mRNA and protein were significantly decreased in the spleen tissue of T-ALL mice(P＜0.01).The above indicators in the H-Res group were reversed compared with T-ALL group after administration of resveratrol.Conclusion:Resveratrol may play a role in anti T-ALL by inhibiting Notch1 signaling pathway in mice.

Objective:To explore the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with transvaginal ultrasound features and quantitative parameters in evaluating high-risk endometrial cancer (EC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on 69 EC patients who received CEUS examination and were confirmed by surgery and pathology in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2017 to September 2022. According to postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into low-risk group ( n=38) and high-risk group ( n=31). The differences in CEUS, transvaginal ultrasound features and quantitative parameters between the two groups were compared, relevant parameters that with predictive value for high-risk EC were screened, and these parameters were scored. Results:①There were differences in lesion size (thick diameter, long diameter), vascular morphology, and color blood flow score between high and low risk ECs (all P<0.05). ②There were differences in CEUS parameters [perfusion mode, enhancement intensity, area under curve(AUC)] between high and low risk EC groups (all P<0.05). ③The areas under the ROC curve for diagnosing high-risk EC were 0.79, 0.69, 0.69, and 0.62, respectively, based on the critical values of lesion thickness diameter ≥1.85 cm, lesion length diameter ≥2.05 cm, ultrasound contrast quantification parameter AUC ≥859 au, and enhancement intensity ≥29.4 dB. ④Using statistically significant parameters for scoring, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing high-risk EC with the score ≥5, were 70.97% and 89.47%, respectively. Conclusions:The combination of CEUS and transvaginal ultrasound is a feasible method for predicting high-risk EC. CEUS parameters (enhanced intensity, AUC, and " focal" perfusion mode) are related to high-risk EC. The combination of CEUS and transvaginal ultrasound helps to pre-evaluate the pathological prognostic factors of endometrial malignant lesions before surgery, providing a basis for clinical follow-up treatment.

Objective:To explore the team construction and treatment strategy of the Diabetic Foot-Multidisciplinary Team.Methods:The clinical data of 19 patients with severe ischemic diabetic foot treated by our Diabetic Foot-Multidisciplinary Team Center from Apr 2021 to Mar 2022 were collected, and the overall amputation rate, above-ankle major amputation rate, minor amputation rate and mortality, Diabetic Foot-Multidisciplinary Team consultation discipline participation rate and treatment participation degree were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Nineteen patients (15 males and 4 females) were enrolled, aged 26 to 94 (68.6±14.2). All were with severe ischemic diabetic foot ulcer:Rutherford grade 5 or up and dysfunction in 2 or more organs. Complications included arteriosclerosis obliterans of the lower extremities in 18 cases, heart diseases in 18, hypertension in 15, and renal insufficiencies in 10. The overall amputation rate was 36.8%, major amputation rate in 21.1%, minor amputation rate in 15.8%, and mortality rate was 15.8%. A total of 16 disciplines participated in Diabetic Foot-Multidisciplinary Team; the main participating disciplines were vascular surgery (19 times), endocrinology (12 times), and cardiology (11 times). The main treatment disciplines were vascular surgery (14 times), plastic surgery (3 times), and cardiology (2 times).Conclusion:For the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot, it is necessary to set up a multidisciplinary team as early as possible to control the causes of diabetic foot ulcer, prevent the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer, reduce the mortality and amputation rate, and improve the quality of life of patients.
