Objective:To investigate the predictive value of platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) for conversion surgery in patients with small bowel obstruction treated with intestinal obstruction catheter. Methods:The clinical data of patients with intestinal obstruction treated by intestinal obstruction catheter in the 900TH Hospital of Joint Logistics Support the Force were retrospectively collected. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of conversion surgery. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves assessed the dose-response relationship between PLR and conversion surgery. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves assessed the validity of the predictive model. Results:A total of 73 patients with small bowel obstruction treated conservatively with intestinal obstruction catheter were included and 25 (34.2%) patients were referred for surgical intervention after poor outcome of conservative treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PLR was an independent predictor of conversion surgery (P=0.032). The RCS analysis showed a non-linear correlation between a progressively higher risk of conversion surgery as the PLR increased. The ROC curves show that the incorporation of PLR into the prediction model significantly enhances its predictive efficacy (All P<0.05). Conclusion:PLR was found to be significantly associated with conversion surgery in small bowel obstruction patients treated with intestinal obstruction catheter,with a non-linear correlation. Incorporating PLR into the prediction model can significantly enhance the predictive efficacy,thus providing reference value for clinicians' decision-making.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of correcting breast ptosis using the rotational filling of an inferolaterally pedicled tongue-shaped parenchymal flap via a double periareolar incision.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 34 female patients (68 breasts) with breast ptosis treated at the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to June 2023. The patients' ages ranged from 23 to 53 years, with an average of (37.4±7.9) years. All patients underwent correction of breast ptosis using an inferolaterally pedicled tongue-shaped parenchymal flap via a double periareolar incision. Pre-operative and post-operative measurements were taken to assess the corrective outcomes, including mammary base width (MBW), areola diameter (AD), nipple-to-nipple distance (NN), suprasternal notch-to-nipple distance (SSN-N), nipple-to-inframammary fold distance (N-IMF), and thoracic circumference at the nipple level (TN). Patients' satisfaction was assessed using the BREAST-questionnaire (BREAST-Q) module.Results:Postoperative first-stage wound healing was achieved in all 34 patients without complications such as hematoma, infection, or nipple necrosis. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 60 months, with a median of 12 months. Early postoperative observations showed periareolar folds, which disappeared within 3 to 6 months in 31 cases, while mild periareolar folds, persisted for up to 12 months in 3 cases. Four patients reported reduced nipple sensation postoperatively. Measurements showed a statistically significant increase in TN and a reduction in NN, SSN-N, AD, N-IMF, and MBW compared to preoperative values (all P<0.001). BREAST-Q scores indicated significant improvements in satisfaction with breasts, psychosocial well-being and physical well-being, with preoperative scores of (21.6±8.9), (42.4±11.9) and (49.7±12.9) scores increasing to (82.3±8.5), (81.9±8.1) and (81.2±8.3) scores, respectively (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The double periareolar incision technique with rotational filling of an inferolaterally pedicled tongue-shaped glandular flap is a safe and effective method for correcting breast ptosis.

Isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (ISMAD) has attracted more and more clinicians' attention in recent years. Patients onset of ISMAD often present with abdominal pain. The misdiagnosis or miss diagnosis is common because of the non-specific symptoms and signs, which even can endanger lives in serious cases. Imaging classification is of great significance for diagnosis and treatment of ISMAD. The Sakamoto classification and the Yun classification are two classical classified methods. However, with the further study of ISMAD, various new classifications emerge. Conservative treatment was once considered as the preferred. As the rapid development of endovascular therapy and the great progress of new devices, stenting therapy can significantly improve symptoms and achieve satisfactory long-term effects, and be even expected to become the preferred method for clinical therapy of ISMAD. However, the long-term effects of endovascular therapy still need a large number of follow-up data, and complications after stent implantation can't be ignored.

Objective To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in screening for prostate cancer. Methods A total of 120 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer were enrolled in Nanjing Municipal First Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023, and 100 age-matched health volunteers during the study period served as controls. All patients and healthy individuals received prostate MRI scanning, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was estimated. Post-surgical pathology was used as a gold standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of MRI in screening for prostate cancer. The correlation between pathological staging and ADC values in prostate cancer patients was investigated using Spearman correlation analysis. Results The mean ADC values were (1.01 ± 0.15) × 10−3, (0.88 ± 0.21) × 10−3, (0.72 ± 0.11) × 10−3, and (0.59 ± 0.09) × 10−3 mm2/s, respectively, for stage A, B, C, and D prostate cancer patients, and the differences were significant (F = 38.99, P < 0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between pathological staging and ADC value (r = −0.81, P < 0.05). In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of MRI in prostate cancer screening were 92.50% and 91.00%, respectively. Conclusion MRI shows a high value in screening for prostate cancer, and the ADC value is of great significance for staging prostate cancer.

Background:
and Purpose Intravenous tenecteplase (TNK) efficacy has not been well demonstrated in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) beyond 4.5 hours after onset. This study aimed to determine the effect of intravenous TNK for AIS within 4.5 to 24 hours of onset.
Methods:
In this pilot trial, eligible AIS patients with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch were randomly allocated to intravenous TNK (0.25 mg/kg) or standard care within 4.5–24 hours of onset. The primary endpoint was excellent functional outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score of 0–1). The primary safety endpoint was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH).
Results:
Of the randomly assigned 80 patients, the primary endpoint occurred in 52.5% (21/40) of TNK group and 50.0% (20/40) of control group, with no significant difference (unadjusted odds ratio, 1.11; 95% confidence interval 0.46–2.66; P=0.82). More early neurological improvement occurred in TNK group than in control group (11 vs. 3, P=0.03), but no significant differences were found in other secondary endpoints, such as mRS 0–2 at 90 days, shift analysis of mRS at 90 days, and change in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at 24 hours and 7 days. There were no cases of sICH in this trial; however, asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 3 of the 40 patients (7.5%) in the TNK group.
Conclusion
This phase 2, randomized, multicenter study suggests that intravenous TNK within 4.5–24 hours of onset may be safe and feasible in AIS patients with a DWI-FLAIR mismatch.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of public health emergencies in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture from 2012 to 2021, and to provide reference for formulating relevant prevention and control measures. Methods The data of public health emergencies reported in Xishuangbanna from 2012 to 2021 were collected and analyzed through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Results A total of 78 public health emergencies (including "Unrated" events) were reported in Xishuangbanna from 2012 to 2021. The highest 21 cases and the lowest 3 cases were reported every year. A total of 1 0374 cases were reported in 78 public health emergencies, involving a population of 1 703 049, with a morbidity of 609.14/100 000, 24 deaths, mortality of 1.41/100 000 and fatality rate of 231.35/100 000. The event level was mainly "general (level Ⅳ)" with 52 incidents, accounting for 66.67%, and 17 incidents of "major (level Ⅲ)", accounting for 21.79%. 51 cases were mainly infectious diseases, accounting for 65.39%. The peak periods for incidents were May-July and November-February of the next year; there were 39 incidents in schools, accounting for 50%, followed by 20 incidents in families, accounting for 25.64%. The top three reported cases were food poisoning (32.05%), chicken pox 17 (21.79%) and dengue fever 10 (12.82%). Among the 24 deaths in public health emergencies, 22 were caused by food poisoning. Wild bacteria poisoning and alcohol poisoning were the main causes of food poisoning, accounting for 45.83% and 37.5% of the total deaths, respectively. Conclusion Infectious diseases, especially respiratory diseases and food poisoning are the focus of the prevention and control of public health emergencies in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, of which Schools and families should be pay close attention. Plague, a Class A infectious disease, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis has occurred in two inter-animal outbreaks in 10 years and spread to the population, which should be of great concern.
