Objective:To investigate the biological behavior spectrum of platelet-derived growth factor alpha receptor (PDGFRA)-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and to compare the clinical values of the Zhongshan method of benign and malignant evaluation with the modified National Institutes of Health (NIH) risk stratification.Methods:A total of 119 cases of GIST with PDGFRA mutation who underwent surgical resection at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2009 to 2020 were collected. The clinicopathological data, follow-up records, and subsequent treatment were reviewed and analyzed statistically.Results:There were 79 males and 40 females. The patients ranged in age from 25 to 80 years, with a median age of 60 years. Among them, 115 patients were followed up for 1-154 months, and 13 patients progressed to disease. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were 90.1% and 94.1%, respectively. According to the modified NIH risk stratification, 8 cases, 32 cases, 38 cases, and 35 cases were very-low risk, low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk, and 5-year DFS were 100.0%, 95.6%, 94.3%, and 80.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference in prognosis among the non-high risk groups, only the difference between high risk and non-high risk groups was significant ( P=0.029). However, the 5-year OS was 100.0%, 100.0%, 95.0% and 89.0%, and there was no difference ( P=0.221). According to the benign and malignant evaluation Zhongshan method, 43 cases were non-malignant (37.4%), 56 cases were low-grade malignant (48.7%), 9 cases were moderately malignant (7.8%), and 7 cases were highly malignant (6.1%). The 5-year DFS were 100.0%, 91.7%, 77.8%, 38.1%, and the difference was significant ( P<0.001). The 5-year OS were 100.0%, 97.5%, 77.8%, 66.7%, the difference was significant ( P<0.001). Conclusions:GIST with PDGFRA gene mutation shows a broad range of biological behavior, ranging from benign to highly malignant. According to the Zhongshan method, non-malignant and low-grade malignant tumors are common, the prognosis after surgery is good, while the fewer medium-high malignant tumors showed poor prognosis after surgical resection. The overall biological behavior of this type of GIST is relatively inert, which is due to the low proportion of medium-high malignant GIST. The modified NIH risk stratification may not be effective in risk stratification for PDGFRA mutant GIST.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of ultrasound-guided closed reduction failure of unstable lateral humeral condylar fractures in children.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 158 children with unstable lateral humeral condyle fractures admitted to Anhui Provincial Children′s Hospital from January 2022 to August 2023, including 102 males and 56 females, aged 1-14 years [5(4, 8)years]. The patients were divided into reduction success group ( n=136) and reduction failure group ( n=22) according to the results of ultrasound-guided closed reduction. The gender, age, body mass index, injury side, time from injury to surgery, direction of sagittal plane displacement of the fracture fragment, Milch classification, Song classification, concomitant subcutaneous bruising or not, nighttime surgery or not, surgeons′ lack of experience or not, and concomitant elbow dislocation or not were recorded in both groups. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate and identify the independent risk factors for ultrasound-guided closed reduction failure of unstable lateral humeral condylar fractures in children. Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the time from injury to surgery, direction of sagittal plane displacement of the fracture fragment, and surgeons′ lack of experience or not between the reduction success group and reduction failure group ( P<0.01), while there were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index, injury side, Milch classification, Song classification, concomitant subcutaneous bruising or not, nighttime surgery or not, or concomitant elbow dislocation or not between the two groups ( P>0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the time from injury to surgery≥5 days ( OR=1.47, 95% CI 1.17, 1.86, P<0.01), sagittal anterior displacement of the fracture fragment ( OR=7.07, 95% CI, 1.79, 27.98, P<0.01) and surgeons′ lack of experience ( OR=4.67, 95% CI, 1.21, 18.05, P<0.05) were significantly correlated with ultrasound-guided closed reduction failure of unstable lateral humeral condylar fractures in children. Conclusion:The time from injury to surgery ≥5 days, sagittal anterior displacement of the fracture fragment and surgeons′ lack of experience are the independent risk factors for ultrasound-guided closed reduction failure of unstable lateral humeral condylar fractures in children.

The acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults have a higher rate of neurological injury and early death compared with atlas or axial fractures alone. Currently, the diagnosis and treatment choices of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults are controversial because of the lack of standards for implementation. Non-operative treatments have a high incidence of bone nonunion and complications, while surgeries may easily lead to the injury of the vertebral artery, spinal cord and nerve root. At present, there are no evidence-based Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults. To provide orthopedic surgeons with the most up-to-date and effective information in treating acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field of spinal trauma to develop the Evidence-based guideline for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults ( version 2023) by referring to the "Management of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults" published by American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) in 2013 and the relevant Chinese and English literatures. Ten recommendations were made concerning the radiological diagnosis, stability judgment, treatment rules, treatment options and complications based on medical evidence, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults.

Objective : To investigate the natural evolution of the sciatic bone thickness in pediatric untreated unilateml developmental dysplasia of the hip ( DDH)aged 1-15 years. Methods: 329 cases of DDH childrn aged 1-15 years with unilateral disloeation were retrospectively reconled. The connection lines were defined on the coronal plane or axial plane of CT. The connection lines of the Y ⁃shaped cartilage center on both sides were line H , the connection lines of the lowest edge of the ischia on both sides were line b , and the middle part of the two lines were divided into Zone 1 and Zone 2. Zone 1 represented the marginal area , and Zone 2 represented the central area. The thickness of ischium , epiphyseal plate , iliac bone thickness and epiphyseal quotient of femoral head on both sides were measured and compared. Results : In coronal CL1 ⁃CL4 , the ischial thickness gradually increased with age from 1 to 10 years old , and decreased from 11 to 15 years old. The range of ischial thickness of CL1 ⁃CL4 was 2. 1 - 16. 7 mm , 3. 3 - 18. 9 mm , 2. 4 - 13. 6 mm and 3. 0 - 14. 9 mm , respectively. The width of the epiphyseal plate in coronal position , the width of the epiphyseal plate in axial position , and the thickness of the iliac bone in the affected side were greater than those in the opposite side and had statistical differences. In the correlation test of ischial thickness with age and degree of dislocation , the thickness of ischial bone in coronal and axial positions was moderately correlated with age ( r = 0. 413 - 0. 570 , P < 0. 05) , and had no correlation with the degree of dislocation ( r = 0. 024 - 0. 073 , P > 0. 05) . In the correlation tests of ischial thickness and epiphyseal thickness CD , epiphyseal quotient , coronal iliac thickness IL on the affected side , the thickness of ischial bone in different parts and sections were positive ( r = 0. 427 - 0. 681 , P < 0. 05) , and the thickness of ischial bone was negatively correlated with the epiphyseal quotient ( r = 0. 130 - 0. 241 , P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The ischial thickness in coronal zone 1 and zone 2 of 1 - 10 years old children with unilateral DDH increased at a stable rate with age , and the growth rate decreased gradually in 11 - 15 years old. The thickness of ischia on the affected side in different sections and areas were greater than that on the opposite side. The difference in the central area of the hip joint was greater than that in the marginal area. The thickness of ischia was positively correlated with acetabular cartilage index , epiphyseal plate thickness , and coronal iliac bone thickness.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in urinary tract infection in Xiangyang Central Hospital from 2017-2019, so as to provide a basis for clinical treatment of urinary tract infection and rational use of antibiotics. Methods The pathogenic bacteria isolated from clinical urine culture in Xiangyang Central Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were collected, and BD Phoenix^TM 100 was used for the identification of pathogens and antimicrobial sensitivity test. The WHONET 5.6 and GraphPad Prism 5.0 software were used for data analysis. Results A total of 3 056 strains of pathogens were isolated from 15 672 urine specimens (19.50%). Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 77.95%, of which E. coli was the most common (52.45%). Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 12.63%, including E. faecalis (4.80%) and E. faecium (4.80%). Fungi accounted for 9.50%. The clinical departments with the highest rates of urinary culture submission and positive detection were Urology (26.20%) and Endocrinology (41.90%), respectively. E. coli and K. pneumoniae had high resistance rates to piperacillin, compound trimethoprim, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone and cefazolin, all exceeding 50.00%, while P. aeruginosa was relatively sensitive to various antibiotics. The resistance rates of these three gram-negative bacteria to carbapenem antibiotics increased year by year. The isolated gram-positive cocci were mainly enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecalis. They were highly sensitive to linazolamide, vancomycin and teicoplanin, but the resistance rates to other types of antibiotics were quite different. The average detection rates of ESBLs-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae were 52.90% and 59.00%, respectively. Conclusion The pathogens of urinary tract infections in Xiangyang Central Hospital from 2017 to 2019 are mainly gram-negative bacteria, and the resistance rate to carbapenem drugs is increasing year by year. The ESBLs-producing strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae are highon should be strengthened in patients with high DOB value and smoking.

Paris saponin VII (PSVII), a bioactive constituent extracted from Trillium tschonoskii Maxim., is cytotoxic to several cancer types. This study was designed to explore whether PSVII prevents non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) proliferation and to investigate its molecular target. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been implicated in the activation of autophagy in distinct tissues. In cultured human NSCLC cell lines, PSVII induces autophagy by activating AMPK and inhibiting mTOR signaling. Furthermore, PSVII-induced autophagy activation was reversed by the AMPK inhibitor compound C. Computational docking analysis showed that PSVII directly interacted with the allosteric drug and metabolite site of AMPK to stabilize its activation. Microscale thermophoresis assay and drug affinity responsive target stability assay further confirmed the high affinity between PSVII and AMPK. In summary, PSVII acts as a direct AMPK activator to induce cell autophagy, which inhibits the growth of NSCLC cells. In the future, PSVII therapy should be applied to treat patients with NSCLC.

Objective: To investigate the epidemic status and influencing factors of colorectal polyps among urban residents in Lanxi. Methods: A representative urban community was selected from Lanxi. A total of 935 local residents aged 18-80 years received questionnaire survey,physical examination,laboratory tests and colonoscopy. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to exam the potential influencing factors for colorectal polyps. Results : Eventually 880 residents were involved into the statistical analysis. Colorectal polyps were detected in 167 participants with a crude prevalence of 18.98% and adjusted prevalence for age and gender of 13.28%. The prevalence of colorectal polyps in men（28.70%）was significantly higher than that in women（12.92%,P<0.05）. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age（OR=1.038,95%CI：1.018-1.057）,males（OR=1.919,95%CI：1.303-2.826）,the middle school level of education（OR=2.443,95%CI：1.507-3.961）and constitution of Yin-Asthenia（OR=0.203,95%CI：0.057-0.720）were influencing factors for colorectal polyps;among male participants,hypertension（OR=1.721,95%CI：1.018-2.908）was a risk factor for colorectal polyps;among female participants,age（OR=1.076,95%CI：1.042-1.111）,BMI（OR=1.099,95%CI：1.001-1.207）,the middle school level of education（OR= 3.507,95%CI：1.794-6.856）and constitution of Yin-Asthenia（OR=0.160,95%CI：0.033-0.770）were influencing factors for colorectal polyps. Conclusion Age,sex,education level and constitution of Yin-Asthenia were associated with the risk of colorectal polyps among residents in Lanxi;hypertension was associated with the risk of colorectal polyps in males,while age,BMI,education level and constitution of Yin-Asthenia were associated with the risk of colorectal polyps in females.

OBJECTIVE： To study the improvement effects of Atorvastatin calcium tablets on renal injury in nephrotic syndrome model rats， and to explore its possible mechanism. METHODS： Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group and Atorvastatin calcium tablets group， with 10 rats in each group. Model group and Atorvastatin calcium tablets group rats were given adriamycin 6 mg/kg intravenously for consecutive 21 d to induce nephrotic syndrome model. Since 22th day， Atorvastatin calcium tablets group was given drug 8 mg/kg intragastrically while normal group and model group rats were given equal amount of distilled water intragastrically， once a day， consecutive 6 days every week， for consecutive 10 weeks. At the second day after last medication， the plasma levels of albumin （ALB）， total protein （TP）， cholesterol （CH）， urine albumin excretion rate （UAE） were determined in each group. RP-PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect mRNA and protein expression of AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1） and nuclear factor κB （NF-κB） in liver tissue. RESULTS： Compared with normal group， the levels of ALB and TP， mRNA and protein expression of AMPK and SIRT1 were decreased significantly in model group （P＜0.01 or P＜0.001）， while the levels of CH and UAE， mRNA and protein expression of NF-κB were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 or P＜0.001）. Compared with model group， the levels of ALB and TP， mRNA and protein expression of AMPK and SIRT1 were increased significantly in Atorvastatin calcium tablets group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 or P＜0.001）， while the levels of CH and UAE， mRNA and protein expression of NF-κB were decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 or P＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS： Atorvastatin calcium tablets has significant improvement effect on the renal injury of nephritic syndrome model rats， the mechanism of which may be associated with up-regulating the expression of AMPK and SIRT1 and down-regulating the expression of NF-κB.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of radiomics analysis in predicting axillary lymph nodes (ALN) metastasis of breast cancer based on dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI). Methods: One hundred and ninety-six patients with suspected breast cancer were prospectively collected for dynamic breast DCE-MRI. Enhanced MR imaging data of 72 axillary lymph nodes were evaluated separately by a chief radiologist and a resident, and the consistency analysis was performed. Lymph nodes were dichotomized according to the pathology results derived from operation or biopsy under real-time virtual sonography based on MRI data. Clinical and imaging data were also divided into corresponding groups. (Imaging) Data from both groups were respectively classified as training set and testing set by stratified sampling in proportion with 3∶1. AK software was applied to extract 6 major categories of 385 features (including histogram, morphology, texture parameters, gray level co-occurrence matrix, run-length matrix and grey level zone size matrix from imaging), and a set of statistically significant features were subsequently obtained by dimension reduction. The prediction model was established through binary classification logistic regression and employed to externally test the validation set by the method of confusion matrix. Meanwhile, ROC analysis was applied to assess the diagnostic performance of the model. Results: Of the 72 axillary lymph nodes, 35 were metastatic negative and 37 were positive. The consistency of enhanced MRI radiomics features was good, between 0.841 and 0.980. Uniformity, ClusterProminence_AllDirection_offset1_SD, Correlation_AllDirection_offset1, LongRunEmphasis_angle90_offset7 and SurfaceVolumeRatio were statistically significant differences (P<0.01), the area under the ROC between 0.747 and 0.931. In the training and testing group, the areas under the ROC, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the model were 0.953, 0.893, 0.926, 92.6% (50/54) and 0.944, 0.900, 1.000, 88.9% (16/18) respectively. Conclusion The prediction model based on radiomic features may provide a non-invasive and effective approach to the assessment of the risk of ALN metastasis of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and complications of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar-interbody fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods Total 142 patients with single level spondylolis-thesis who treated by TLIF from 2010.01 to 2015.06 were included in this study, with 68 cases in minimally invasive TLIF (MIS-TLIF) group and 74 cases in traditional open TLIF group. The general information (age, gender, isthmic or degenerative type, per-centage of slip degree, levels), operative time, blood loss, length of postoperative hospital stay, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of low-back pain and leg pain, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were recorded and collected. The posterior height of the interverte-bralpace and segmental lordosis, reduction of spondylolisthesis and cross-sectional area of spinal canal were measured. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in age, gender ratio, percentage of slip degree, and sur-gicallevels distribution. Total of 66 cases in MIS-TLIF group and 71 cases in Open TLIF group finished 2 years follow up, and 25 cases in MIS-TLIF group and 31 cases in Open TLIF group finished 5 years follow up. The blood loss of the MIS-TLIF group was 164.7±51.7 ml, significantly lower than the open TLIF group of 239±69.3 ml(P<0.001). The length of postoperative hospital stay was 5.9 ± 1.5 days in MIS-TLIF group, significantly shorter than the open TLIF group of 7.3 ± 3.1 days(P<0.001). The operative time of MIS-TLIF and Open TLIF was 146.3±21.9 mins, 152.0±20.4 mins, respectively, and no significant differ-ence was found between them. The VAS ofback pain, leg pain, ODI in MIS-TLIF group was 1.76±1.16, 1.91±1.36 and 23.5± 7.3 at 2 years follow up, and in Open TLIF was 1.73±1.10, 1.83±1.36 and 23.8±6.7, respectively, all of them were significant-ly different to pre-operation, however, no significant difference was found between two groups. The VAS of back pain, leg pain, ODI in MIS-TLIF group was 1.73±1.21, 1.93±1.48, and 25.4±6.8 at 5years follow up, and in Open TLIF was 1.85±1.02, 1.85± 1.33 and 26.1 ± 6.5, respectively, no significant difference between twogroups. The posterior height of the intervertebral space and segmental lordosis of MIS-TLIF was 9.52±1.67 mm and 12.11°±3.44° at 2 years follow up, while the open TLIF was 9.88± 1.54 mm and 12.98 ± 3.83° , all of them were significantly different to pre-operation,however, no significant difference between two groups. The posterior height of the intervertebral space and segmental lordosis of MIS-TLIF was 9.37 ± 1.46 mm and 11.55° ± 2.77° , while the open TLIF was 9.66 ± 1.68 mm and 12.59° ± 4.23° , no significant difference between two groups. The percentage of slip degree was reduced to 5.2％±4.6％ in MIS-TLIF and 5.6％±4.3％ in open TLIF, the cross-sectional area of spinal canal was enlarged to 139.7±19.5 mm2 and 141.7±20.7 mm2, no significant difference between two groups either. Con-clusion MIS-TLIF has less blood loss, shorter postoperative hospital stay than open TLIF, and similar clinical pain and function-al outcomes. MIS-TLIF is suggested to be a safe and effective choice in the treatment of lower grade lumbar spondylolisthesis (Grade II or less).
