Objective To introduce the modeling method of pendulum-like modified rat abdominal heart heterotopic transplantation model and evaluate the quality of the model. Methods An operator without transplantation experience performed 15 consecutive models, recorded the time of each step, changes in body weight and modified Stanford scores, and calculated the surgical success rate, postoperative 1-week survival rate and technical success rate. Ultrasound examinations was performed in 1 week postoperatively. Results The times for donor heart acquisition, donor heart processing, recipient preparation and transplantation anastomosis were (14.3±1.4) min, (3.5±0.6) min, (13.6±2.1) min and (38.3±5.2) min respectively. The surgical success rate was 87% (13/15), and the survival rate 1 week after operative was 100% (13/13). The improved Stanford score indicated a technical success rate of 92% (12/13), and the postoperative 1-week ultrasound examination showed that grafts with Stanford scores ≥3 had detectable pulsation and blood flow signals. Conclusions The pendulum-like modified rat abdominal heart heterotopic transplantation improved model further optimizes the operational steps with a high success rate and stable quality, may be chosen as a modeling option for basic research in heart transplantation in the future.

Bone organoids can simulate the complex structure and function of the bone tissues, which makes them a frontier technology in organoid researches. Bone organoids show a tremendous potential of applications in bone disease modeling, bone injury repair, and medicine screening. Although advancements have been made so far in constructing bone organoids with functional structures like mineralization, bone marrow, trabecular bone, callus, woven bone, etc, the researches in this field are confronted with numerous challenges such as lack of standardized construction strategies and unified evaluation criteria, which limits their further promotion and application. To standardize researches in bone organoids, the Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, the Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, the Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine organized related experts to formulate Expert consensus on the construction, evaluation, and application of bone organoids ( version 2024) based on an evidence-based approach. A total of 17 recommendations were put forth, aiming to standardize researches and clinical applications of bone organoids and enhance their value in scientific research and clinical practice.

Two Hofmann-Martius-like rearrangement products generated in the production of duloxetine hydrochloride were studied. The structures and generation mechanism of the two Hofmann-Martius rearrangement products were analyzed by LC-MS and NMR. The results showed that under the acidic conditions, the naphthol ether bond of duloxetine would break down and the intermediates of naphthol and the alkyl thiophene cation was generated; the two Hofmann-Martius-like rearrangement products were proven to be a pair of isomers produced by nucleophilic substitution between the naphthol intermediate state and the alkyl thiophene cation intermediate state at the ortho or the para position, respectively. The production of two isomers was related to the strong acidic and protic solvent environment. Therefore, in the salting process of duloxetine hydrochloride, the pH value should be controlled in the range of 3-7 and temperature should be maintained below 50 °C, as well as the nonprotic solvent acetone is chosen to avoid generation of the two isomers.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) featured by clonal proliferation of platelets, thrombosis and hemorrhage. Portal hypertension is a serious complication of ET associated with poor prognosis. We report a patient with ET complicated with acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and intestinal perforation due to portal hypertension. She had an uneventful recovery after surgical and endoscopic treatment.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the online problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode was first implemented based on the curriculum integration of basic medicine and clinical medicine in our university in 2020.

The curriculum integration has laid the foundation for the case design and application of online PBL teaching, while the success of online PBL teaching has also reflected the original intention of curriculum integration reform.

Objective:To analyze clinical features of aortoesphageal fistula (AEF) patients with massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods:Five AEF patients with massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2016 January 1st to 2019 December 31st. The clinical data, endoscopic findings, radiological manifestations, treatment and clinical outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among 5 patients, 4 were males, 1 was female with an average age of (58±8) years old. The underlying conditions were atherosclerosis ( n=4), hypertension ( n=3), hyperlipidemia ( n=1); 2 cases had aortic aneurysm stent implantation and 1 case of rheumatic heart disease had valve replacement. All 5 patients were complicated with hematemesis and hypovolemic shock, and 4 cases had sentinel hemorrhage. Contrast-enhanced CT or CT angiography of the aorta showed thicken esophageal wall, local esophageal discontinuity, aortic aneurysm, gas around the aortic stent and contrast agent spilling over. The gastroscopy showed esophageal depression lesions, deep ulcers, mucosal erosion with bleeding. Conservative therapy and endoscopic hemostasis failed, 2 patients died without surgical intervention; 3 patients underwent emergency surgeries, 2 survived and 1 died perioperatively. Conclusions:Aortoesophageal fistula is in lack of specific clinical manifestations but is highly in mortality. Therefore CT and gastrocopic examination should be performed for suspected patients, early diagnosis and surgical treatment are the key to save patients′ lives.

Objective:To investigate the short-term clinical outcomes of posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for treating Kümmell's disease with intravertebral instability.Methods:A retrospective case series study was made on 18 patients with Kümmell's disease with intravertebral instability treated at Lishui Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2012 to February 2016. There were 4 males and 14 females, aged 65-86 years [(76.0±5.5)years]. Segment of injury was T 7 in 1 patient, T 10 in 2, T 11 in 3, T 12 in 4, L 1 in 6, and L 2 in 2. All patients underwent posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with PVP. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, amount of cement injected into the vertebra, and length of postoperative hospital stay were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Cobb angle, and wedge angle of the operative segment were recorded and compared preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the latest follow-up. Meanwhile, the complications were recorded. Results:All patients were followed up for 12-28 months [(17.7±4.4)months]. The operation time was 110-175 minutes [(137.9±21.9)minutes] and the blood loss was 50-165 ml [(110.7±35.6)ml]. The amount of cement injected into the vertebra was 2.5-6.0 ml [(4.7±0.9)ml]. The length of hospital stay was 7-14 days [(9.4±2.3)days]. The VAS was (7.8±1.2) points preoperatively, (3.3±0.7) points at 1 week postoperatively and (2.4±0.7)points at the latest follow-up. The ODI was (67.3±7.3)% preoperatively, (30.5±7.5)% at 1 week postoperatively and (21.8±8.3)% at the latest follow-up. The Cobb angle was (26.2±9.5)° preoperatively, (12.6±7.2)° at 1 week postoperatively and (16.7±6.2)°at the latest follow-up. The wedge angle was (21.1±6.1)° preoperatively, (8.4±4.6)° at 1 week postoperatively, and (13.2±4.1)° at the latest follow-up. The above clinical and radiological parameters were significantly improved after operation ( P<0.05), and showed no significant differences at the latest follow-up when compared to that at 1 week postoperatively ( P>0.05). Five patients showed slight screw loosening, but there was no obvious dislocation of internal fixation. One case developed distal vertebral compression fracture at 6 months postoperatively and cured after a second PVP. Conclusion:For Kümmell's disease with intravertebral instability, posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with PVP can effectively restore and maintain the spinal sequence, rapidly relieve the pain and improve clinical function. However, the long-term efficacy needs further study.

Objective·To analyze high-risk factors of infection of multidrug resistance Klebsiellapneumonia (MDR-Kpn) and difference of therapeutic effects for different treatments.Methods·One hundred and ten MDR-Kpn strains were collected from a hospital.K-B slip diffusion method was utilized to detect the drug susceptibility of all the strains.Based on electronic medical records system,MDR-Kpn infected group included 51 patients and control group was picked out,including 51 patients as well (byl:1 ratio basing on the infected group according to the rules of under the same department,similar basic disease and all the patients in the control group isolated with the strain of Kpn).Thirty-nine clinical information of MDR-Kpn infected and control groups are collected to make single-factor analysis of high risk factors of the infection with MDR-Kpn.Multi-factor analysis was utilized between MDR-Kpn infected and control groups.The lasting time of different antibiotics used in MDR-Kpn infected patients were made statistics between effective and inefficacy patients.Results·Drug susceptibility test showed that sulfonamide,phosphonomycin and amikacin,were the three most sensitive antibiotics for 110 MDR-Kpn strains.12 clinical information,such as blood transfusion、sputum suction、invasive ventilation were all high-risk factors for the infection of MDR-Kpn (P＜0.05).The lasting time during with carbapenems (P=0.025) was statistically different between effective (n=28)and non-effective group (n=23) of MDR-Kpn infection patients.Conclusion·Controlling and eliminating high-risk factors do help to protect and decrease the infection of MDR-Kpn.Using carbapenems correctly has great influence on prognosis.
