Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of areola approach endoscopic thyroidectomy (AET) and gasless axillary approach endoscopic thyroidectomy (GAET) in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients.Methods:A total of 96 PTC patients from the Thyroid Surgery Department of Linyi People’s Hospital from May. 2019 to May. 2022 were selected and randomly divided into 48 patients using a random number table method. The areola group received AET, while the armpit group received GAET. The surgical situation, postoperative recovery, relevant biochemical indicators [white blood cell count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), blood calcium] before and after surgery, postoperative pain level, discomfort level, neck function, and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The surgical time and extubation time of the armpit group were (125.71±15.73) minutes and (3.12±0.53) days, respectively, which were shorter than those of the areola group (137.94±20.02) minutes and (3.48±0.46) days. The intraoperative bleeding volume was (14.19±4.16) mL, which was less than that of the areola group (22.65±7.39) mL, and the number of lymph nodes cleaned was 5.06±1.02, which was more than that of the areola group (4.23±1.14) ( P<0.05) ; there was no significant difference in postoperative drainage volume and hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05) ; Peripheral blood WBC in the armpit group on the 1st and 3rd day after surgery [ (5.69±0.15) ×10 9/L, (5.52±0.14) ] ×10 9/L, ESR [ (8.21±0.55) mm/h, (7.64±0.60) mm/h], CRP [ (10.06±1.78) ng/L, (8.93±1.33) ng/L] were lower than those in the areola group [ (5.83±0.21) ×10 9/L, (5.70±0.23) ×10 9/L, (8.87±0.74) mm/h, (8.19±0.68) mm/h, (12.45±1.90) ng/L, (10.45±1.50) ng/L] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of the above biochemical indicators 5 days after surgery ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in peripheral blood PTH and calcium levels between the two groups on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th postoperative days ( P>0.05). The pain level [ (3.25±0.32) scores, (2.53±0.27) scores, (1.82±0.22) scores] and discomfort level [ (6.85±0.71) scores, (5.24±0.66) scores, (3.51±0.57) scores] in the axillary group were lower than those in the areola group [ (3.78±0.40) scores, (2.89±0.34) scores, (2.06±0.26) scores, (7.46±0.84) scores, (6.09±0.73) scores, (4.16±0.60) scores] on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th postoperative days ( P<0.05). The neck flexion, lateral flexion, and extension range of motion in the axillary group on the 3rd day after surgery were (33.16±3.09) °, (27.63±2.57) °, and (30.44 2.73) °, respectively, which were greater than those in the areola group[ (30.08±2.76) °, (25.14±2.30) °, and (27.98±2.54) °], and the swallowing disorder index was (30.16±4.97) points lower than the (34.83±4.13) points in the areola group ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the axillary group was 4.17% (2/48), lower than the 16.67% (8/48) in the areola group. Conclusion:GAET treatment for PTC patients can improve the effect of lymph node dissection, reduce the degree of surgical trauma, postoperative pain and discomfort, accelerate early postoperative recovery of neck function, and reduce complications.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Background and Aims:Parastomal hernia is a common complication after colostomy,with a high incidence rate.Laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair is currently the mainstream surgical approach for treating parastomal hernia.However,compared to other abdominal wall hernia repair techniques,the recurrence rate of parastomal hernia after laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair remains relatively high.Furthermore,the recurrence rate after surgery for recurrent parastomal hernias is significantly higher than that after the initial surgery,with inadequate lateral mesh coverage being one of the major contributing factors.This study was performed to analyze the efficacy of two-point mark-guided laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair in patients with terminal colostomy parastomal hernia,so as to provide evidence-based references for clinical practice. Methods:The clinical data of 120 patients with terminal colostomy parastomal hernia,who underwent laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair guided by the two-point mark of mesh at the Department of Hernia and Obesity Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China,from January 2015 to December 2023,were retrospectively collected.The parastomal hernias were classified according to the European Hernia Society classification.Postoperative symptomatic and radiological recurrence rates were analyzed,as well as the incidence of complications such as bowel obstruction,stoma infection,and intestinal fistula in recurrent and non-recurrent patients. Results:Of the 120 patients,2(1.7％)were lost to follow-up.The mean follow-up duration was 48(6-96)months.The postoperative symptomatic recurrence rate was 5.1％(6/118),and the radiological recurrence rate was 6.8％(8/118).There were no statistically significant differences between recurrent(n=8)and non-recurrent patients(n=110)in terms of sex,age,body mass index(BMI),or hernia defect size(all P＞0.05),but the operative time in recurrent patients was longer than that in non-recurrent patients(P＜0.05).The overall postoperative complication rate was 8.5％(10/118),including stoma skin-mucosa separation(3 cases),stoma infection(2 cases),delayed bowel obstruction(2 cases),early bowel obstruction(1 case),hernia sac effusion(1 case),and delayed fistula formation in the hernia sac cavity(1 case).According to the Clavien-Dindo classification,there were 6 cases of grade Ⅱ,3 cases of gradeⅢa,and 1 case of grade Ⅳ complications.There were no statistically significant differences between patients with and without complications regarding sex,BMI,hernia defect size,operative time,and comorbidities(all P＞0.05);however,patients with complications were older than those without(P＜0.05). Conclusion:The application of laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair under the guidance of two-point mesh identification can effectively reduce the recurrence rate of parastomal hernia and It has high clinical applicability.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficiency of lumbar hernia repair based on path planning.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 35 patients with lumbar hernia who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from November 2016 to March 2024 were collected. There were 14 males and 21 females, aged (61±8)years. According to preoperative computerized tomography examination of the hernia defect diameter, patients with a defect diameter <4 cm underwent enhan-ced field laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (eTEP), patients with a defect diameter of 4-8 cm underwent laparoscopic partial extraperitoneal repair (TAPE), and patients with a defect diameter >8 cm underwent open preperitoneal mesh repair (Sublay). Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison of three groups were conducted using the one-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis test, and Bonferroni correction was used for pariwise comparison. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were descri-bed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Operation conditions. Of 35 patients, there were 15 cases undergoing eTEP, of 7 males and 8 females and 12 cases of left hernia and 3 cases of right hernia, with operation time of (92±44)minutes and the duration of postoperative hospital stay of (5.6±2.8)days. There were 17 cases undergoing TAPE, of 5 males and 12 females and 9 cases of left hernia, 7 cases of right hernia and 1 case of bilateral hernia, with operation time of (114±56)minutes and the duration of postoperative hospital stay of (6.4±3.0) days. There were 3 cases undergoing Sublay, of 2 males and 1 female and 1 case of left hernia and 2 cases of right hernia, with operation time of (150±55)minutes and the duration of postoperative hospital stay of (12.3±7.8)days. There were significant differences in the duration of postoperative hospital stay among the three groups ( F=4.83, P<0.05). (2) Follow-up. All 35 patients were followed up for 40.5(range, 3.0-91.0)days. None of patient underwent postoperative complications such as serous swelling, incision infection, intestinal fistula, intestinal obstruction, or puncture hematoma, and no recurrence of lumbar hernia occurred. One patient who underwent TAPE had postoperative abdominal distension, and was cured by symptomatic treatment. Cases with acute pain within postoperative 3 months were 0, 5, 2 in patients undergoing eTEP, TAPE, Sublay, respectively, showing significant differences among them ( χ2=8.69, P<0.05). Results of pariwise comparison showed that there was a significant difference in acute pain within postoperative 3 months between patients undergoing eTEP and Sublay ( P<0.05), and there was a significant difference in acute pain within postoperative 3 months between patients undergoing eTEP and TAPE ( P<0.05); Cases with chronic pain after postoperative 3 months were 0, 1, 1 in patients undergoing eTEP, TAPE, Sublay, respectively, showing no significant difference among them ( χ2=4.00, P>0.05). Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to formulate the surgical method according to the defect diameter of lumbar hernia.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of new coagulation biomarkers including soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) and tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor complex (t-PAI·C) for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis in children. Methods: The prospective observational study enrolled 59 children who were diagnosed with sepsis including severe sepsis and septic shock in the Department of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine of Shanghai Children's Medical Center affiliated to the Medical College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from June 2019 to June 2021. The sTM, t-PAI·C and conventional coagulation tests were detected on illness day one of sepsis. Twenty healthy children were selected as the control group, and the above parameters were detected on the day of inclusion. Children with sepsis were divided into survival group and non-survival group according to prognosis at discharge. Baseline comparisons between groups were performed using Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis in children. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was conducted to evaluate the predictive values of above variables for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis in children. Results: The sepsis group included 59 patients (39 boys and 20 girls), aged 61(22, 136)months. There were 44 patients in the survival group and 15 patients in the non-survival group, respectively. The control group consisted of 20 boys, aged 107 (94,122) months. Patients in the sepsis group had higher sTM and t-PAI·C ((12 (9, 17)×10³ vs. 9(8, 10)×10³ TU/L, 10(6, 22) vs. 2 (1, 3) μg/L, Z=-2.15, -6.05, both P<0.05) compared with children in the control group. The t-PAI·C was superior to sTM for the diagnosis of sepsis. The areas under the curve (AUC) of t-PAI·C and sTM for the diagnosis of sepsis were 0.95 and 0.66, respectively, and the optimal cut-off value were 3 μg/L and 12×10³ TU/L, respectively. Patients in the survival group had lower sTM (10 (8, 14)×10³ vs. 17 (11, 36)×10³ TU/L, Z=-2.73, P=0.006) than those in the non-survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that sTM was a risk factor for death at discharge (OR=1.14, 95%CI 1.04-1.27, P=0.006). The AUC of sTM and t-PAI·C for predicting death at discharge were 0.74 and 0.62, respectively, and the optimal cut-off values were 13×10³ TU/L and 6 μg/L, respectively. The AUC of sTM combined with platelet counts for predicting death at discharge was 0.89, which was superior to sTM and t-PAI·C. Conclusion: The sTM and t-PAI·C had clinical application values in diagnosing and predicting prognosis in pediatric sepsis.

  Objective  To understand the current status of surgical treatment for hemophilia osteoarthropathy (HO) in China.  Methods  Using an online questionnaire, select domestic hospitals that partici-pated in the compilation of the 'Guideline for perioperative management of hemophilia patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery in China ', in addition to members of the National Joint Surgery Group, and the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Association for targeted investigation and analysis.  Results  A total of 17 domestic hospitals were included, all of which were general hospitals. Hospitals that started HO surgery treatment before 2000 accounted for 35.29%. A total of 3057 surgical cases of HO were reported by those hospitals. The most commonly performed surgical procedures were hip and knee joint replacement. The most commonly used coagulation factor replacement regimen was recombinant coagulation factor preparation. Ten hospitals reported finding patients with transfusion-related infectious diseases. Bleeding and hematoma formation were the most frequently reported surgical complications. Excessive length of hospital stay and high economic costs were the most frequently reported problems.  Conclusions  Surgical treatment for HO in 17 hospitals is mainly carried out in some large comprehensive medical centers in the eastern region. Compared with the patient base, the popularity and number of surgeries are still relatively insufficient. It is necessary to further standardize the treatment system by standardizing factor replacement and strengthening rehabilitation to improve surgical treatment outcomes.
