Objective:To investigate the influence of curative-intent resection with textbook outcomes of liver surgery (TOLS) on long-term prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 824 patients with GBC in the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, who were admitted to 15 medical centers from January 2014 to January 2021, were collected. There were 285 males and 539 females, aged (62±11)years. According to the evalua-tion criteria of TOLS, patients were divided into those who achieved TOLS and those who did not achieve TOLS. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and com-parison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data were conduc-ted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX stepwise regression model with backward Wald method was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Achievement of TOLS. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, there were 510 cases achieving TOLS and 314 cases not achieving TOLS. (2) Follow-up. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, after excluding 112 deaths within 90 days after discharge, 712 cases were included for the survival analysis. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 510 patients achieving TOLS were 22.1(11.4,30.1)months, 47.6(30.6,64.6)months and 47.5%. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 202 patients not achieving TOLS were 14.0(6.8,25.5)months, 24.3(20.0,28.6)months and 21.0%. There was a significant difference in overall survival between patients achieving TOLS and patients not achieving TOLS ( χ2=58.491, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors influencing prognosis of patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that TOLS, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, poorly differentiation of tumor, T2 stage of eighth edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging, T3 and T4 stage of eighth edition of AJCC staging, N1 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, N2 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, adjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing overall survival time of patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC ( hazard ratio=0.452, 1.479, 1.373, 1.612, 1.455, 1.481, 1.835, 1.978, 0.538, 95% c onfidence interval as 0.352-0.581, 1.141-1.964, 1.052-1.791, 1.259-2.063, 1.102-1.920, 1.022-2.147, 1.380-2.441, 1.342-2.915, 0.382-0.758, P<0.05).

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of textbook outcomes in liver surgery (TOLS) after radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 530 patients who underwent radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma in 15 medical centers, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University et al, from January 2014 to January 2020 were collected. There were 209 males and 321 females, aged (61±10)years. Patients underwent radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma, including cholecystectomy, hepatectomy, invasive bile duct resection, and lymph node dissection. Observation indicators: (1) situations of TOLS; (2) influencing factors of TOLS. Measure-ment data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type, and variables with P<0.10 were included in multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic stepwise regression model. Results:(1) Situations of TOLS. All 530 patients underwent radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma, and there were 498 cases achieving R 0 resection, 508 cases without ≥grade 2 intra-operative adverse events, 456 cases without postoperative grade B and grade C biliary leakage, 513 cases without postoperative grade B and grade C liver failure, 395 cases without severe com-plications within postoperative 90 days, 501 cases did not being re-admission caused by severe com-plications within postoperative 90 days.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of epidural scar tissue hyperplasia induced by erythrocyte rupture and release of interleukin-33 (IL-33) after laminectomy in mice.Methods:In the zoological experiment, the operation group (Laminectomy) and the sham operation group were set, and HE staining and Masson staining were performed to test for blood accumulation in the operation area after laminectomy in mice. Then 12 wild-type mice with 6-8 week old were selected and divided into 4 groups: the sham operation group, the operation group (normal saline control), the pure red blood cell intervention operation group, the whole blood intervention operation group. The normal saline (100 mg/kg) was injected into the postoperative area. The red blood cells or whole blood with the same volume were injected into the postoperative area in the pure red blood cell intervention group and the whole blood intervention group. The postoperative recovery of mice in each group was observed. The levels of fibronectin in the postoperative scar tissues of mice in four groups were detected by western blot technology, and the degree of postoperative epidural scar hyperplasia was directly observed by immunohistochemistry. In the cytological experiment, the wild-type mouse erythrocyte normal saline group, the control group of IL-33 knockout mouse erythrocyte normal saline, the wild-type mouse erythrocyte lysis group, and the IL-33 knockout mouse erythrocyte lysis group were set. The levels of IL-33 in the red blood cells of four groups were detected by western blot. Then, a blank wild-type mouse erythrocyte control group, a wild-type mouse relative to the control group (only secondary antibody added to test for non-specific binding), a wild-type mouse erythrocyte group and an IL-33 knockout mouse erythrocyte group (to test for antigen specificity of the primary antibody) were set. Immunofluorescence staining was performed on the erythrocytes of four groups and the level of IL-33 was detected by flow cytometry.Results:HE staining and Masson staining after laminectomy showed that there was blood stasis in the local incision area of mice in the operation group. The epidural scar hyperplasia in the incision area of mice after whole blood or red blood cells intervention was higher, especially in the whole blood intervention group. IL-33 expression was almost undetectable in the wild-type erythrocyte normal saline control group, the IL-33-knockout erythrocyte normal saline control group, and the IL-33-knockout erythrocyte lysis group, while significant IL-33 expression was detectable in the wild-type erythrocyte lysis group. Immunofluorescence staining showed that IL-33 was expressed in and on the erythrocyte membrane of wild-type mice, while non-specific expression of IL-33 or a very small amount of IL-33 was almost undetectable in the other three groups. The immunofluorescence intensities of IL-33 in the four groups were 0.62±0.41, 60.17±4.39, 16.78±7.43 and 0.61±0.03, respectively ( F=281.90, P<0.001). The expression of IL-33 in the erythrocyte group of wild-type mice was the highest ( P<0.05). According to the results of flow cytometry, except for the trace amount of IL-33 detected in the wild-type mouse erythrocyte group, the expression of IL-33 in the other three groups was basically 0. The ratios of fibronectin to β-actin in the modeling area of the four groups gradually increased, and the ratios were 0.79±0.09, 1.26±0.23, 1.79±0.05 and 2.29±0.58, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=12.86, P=0.002). Fibronectin in the operation area of the three operation groups (normal saline control group, red blood cell intervention group and whole blood intervention group) was significantly higher than that of the sham operation group. The immunohistochemical staining results of fibronectin in the modeling area of the four groups were the same as those in western blot experiment. The average optical density values of fibronectin in each group were 0.09±0.01, 0.18±0.01, 0.22±0.01 and 0.24±0.01, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F= 210.7, P<0.001). Conclusion:There is indeed blood accumulation in the surgical area after laminectomy in mice, and it can aggravate the hyperplasia of epidural scar tissue. Erythrocyte is the main component in blood, and there is a large amount of IL-33 expression in the inner and outer membrane of erythrocyte membrane. The mechanism of promoting the proliferation of epidural scar tissue may be related to the release of IL-33 by erythrocyte lysis.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics and risk factors of previous low-energy fractures in elderly patients with hip fractures admitted to our hospital.Methods:The data for this study was collected from 596 hip fracture patients admitted to Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University between January 2018 and December 2021.Out of these patients, there were 404 females and 192 males.Based on the history of low-energy fracture before hip fracture, the patients were divided into two groups: a low-energy fracture group and a non-low-energy fracture group.A comparison was made between the two groups in terms of gender, age, fracture type, BMI, number of combined medical diseases, ASA score, and other characteristics.Results:The study included a total of 596 patients, with 368 patients having no history of low-energy fractures and 228 patients with low-energy fractures.Among the patients with low-energy fractures, there were 118 vertebral fractures, 69 hip fractures, 57 rib fractures, 19 radial fractures, 14 humerus fractures, and 12 patella fractures.Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in age, gender, fracture type, number of combined medical diseases, and ASA score between the two groups( P<0.05 for all). The results of multivariate Logistic analysis indicated that age( OR=1.046, 95% CI: 1.022-1.070), female sex( OR=1.474, 95% CI: 1.011-2.148), and the number of comorbid medical diseases( OR=1.211, 95% CI: 1.113-1.318)were independent risk factors for patients with a history of low-energy fractures. Conclusions:Our findings provide evidence that vertebral, hip, and rib fractures were the three most common previous low-energy fractures in elderly patients with hip fractures.We identified age, female gender, and number of medical diseases as independent risk factors for prior low-energy fractures in this population.

Blast injury of the chest injury is the most common wound in modern war trauma and terrorist attacks, and is also the most fatal type of whole body explosion injury. Most patients with severe blast injury of the chest die in the early stage before hospitalization or during transportation, so first aid is critically important. At present, there exist widespread problems such as non-standard treatment and large difference in curative effect, while there lacks clinical treatment standards for blast injury of the chest. According to the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement, the Trauma Society of Chinese Medical Association has formulated the guidance of classification, pre-hospital first aid, in-hospital treatment and major injury management strategies for blast injury of the chest, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND:
Recent evidence suggests that IL-33, a novel member of the IL-1b family, is involved in organ fibrosis. However, the roles of IL-33 and its receptor ST2 in epidural fibrosis post spine operation remain elusive.
METHODS:
A mouse model of epidural fibrosis was established after laminectomy. IL-33 in the wound tissues post laminectomy was measured with Western blotting, ELISA and imaging. The fibroblast cell line NIH-3T3 and primary fibroblasts were treated with IL-33 and the mechanisms of maturation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts were analyzed. To explore roles of IL-33 and its receptor ST2 In vivo, IL-33 knockout (KO) and ST2 KO mice were employed to construct the model of laminectomy. The epidural fibrosis was evaluated using H&E and Masson staining, western-blotting, ELISA and immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS:
As demonstrated in western blotting and ELISA, IL-33 was increased in epidural wound tissues post laminectomy. The immunoflurosence imaging revealed that endothelial cells (CD31 + ) and fibroblasts (a-SAM +) were major producers of IL-33 in the epidural wound tissues. In vitro, IL-33 promoted fibroblast maturation, which was blocked by ST2 neutralization antibody, suggesting that IL-33-promoted-fibroblasts maturation was ST2 dependent. Further, IL-33/ ST2 activated MAPK p38 and TGF-β pathways. Either p38 inhibitor or TGF-β inhibitor decreased fibronectin and a-SAM production from IL-33-treated fibroblasts, suggesting that p38 and TGF-β were involved with IL-33/ST2 signal pathways in the fibroblasts maturation. In vivo, IL-33 KO or ST2 KO decreased fibronectin, a-SMA and collagen deposition in the wound tissues of mice that underwent spine surgery. In addition, TGF-β 1 was decreased in IL-33 KO or ST2 KO epidural wound tissues.
CONCLUSION
In summary, IL-33/ST2 promoted fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts via MAPK p38 and TGF-β in a mouse model of epidural fibrosis after laminectomy.
