文摘BACKGROUND Aseptic loosening remains the leading cause of revision in primary total hip arthroplasty(pTHA).However,the literature demonstrates significant variability regarding the relative contributions of different factors.AIM To investigate the key determinants of aseptic loosening,we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis.METHODS A comprehensive search of PubMed,Web of Science,EMBASE,and the Cochrane Library was conducted,encompassing studies from database inception to January 1,2025.Meta-analyses were performed to evaluate factors associated with aseptic loosening following pTHA.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were systematically applied at each stage to ensure methodological transparency and reproducibility.Study quality was assessed using standardized categories.Pooled odds ratio(OR)with corresponding 95%confidence interval were calculated with random-or fixed-effects models to generate reliability estimates,and study heterogeneity was visualized using forest plots.Ten factors,categorized into patient-,surgeon-,and device-related domains,were reviewed and meta-analyzed.Funnel plot analysis demonstrated a relatively symmetrical distribution,suggesting minimal publication bias.RESULTS A meta-analysis of 20 studies(520789 participants)found a pooled prevalence of 1.96%.Significant risk factors for aseptic loosening after pTHA included elevated body mass index(OR=1.116,P<0.001),higher Charlson comorbidity index(OR=1.378,P<0.001),prosthesis-related factors(OR=1.497,P<0.001),and adverse lifestyles(OR=2.198,P=0.037).Protective factors were non-white race(OR=0.445,P<0.001)and favorable genetics(OR=0.723,P<0.001).Male sex increased risk(OR=1.232,P=0.016),while age and anatomy were not significant.Surgical expertise showed a slight protective effect(OR=1.048,P<0.001).A comprehensive understanding of the modifiable and non-modifiable factors contributing to aseptic loosening after pTHA requires consideration of patient-related factors,surgical expertise,and prosthesis characteristics.CONCLUSION The identification of these factors is critical for risk mitigation.High-risk patients should receive targeted counseling regarding individualized profiles.Further studies are warranted to establish clearer causal relationships and identify additional contributing factors.
文摘BACKGROUND Salvage of the infected long stem revision total knee arthroplasty is challenging due to the presence of well-fixed ingrown or cemented stems.Reconstructive options are limited.Above knee amputation(AKA)is often recommended.We present a surgical technique that was successfully used on four such patients to convert them to a knee fusion(KF)using a cephalomedullary nail.CASE SUMMARY Four patients with infected long stem revision knee replacements that refused AKA had a single stage removal of their infected revision total knee followed by a KF.They were all treated with a statically locked antegrade cephalomedullary fusion nail,augmented with antibiotic impregnated bone cement.All patients had successful limb salvage and were ambulatory with assistive devices at the time of last follow-up.All were infection free at an average follow-up of 25.5 months(range 16-31).CONCLUSION Single stage cephalomedullary nailing can result in a successful KF in patients with infected long stem revision total knees.
文摘Objective:To systematically summarize and evaluate the evidence on discharge preparation services for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty,providing an evidence-based foundation for developing scientific and standardized discharge preparation intervention programs in clinical practice.Methods:Following the“5S”evidence model,literature such as guidelines,expert consensuses,evidence summaries and randomized controlled trials related to discharge preparation services for total knee arthroplasty patients were retrieved from relevant websites and databases,both domestic and international,from database inception to August 31,2025.Two researchers independently screened the literature,conducted quality appraisals,and extracted and synthesized the evidence.Results:A total of 15 articles were included,comprising 3 guidelines,4 expert consensuses,3 evidence summaries,3 systematic reviews and 2 randomized controlled trials.Ultimately,23 pieces of evidence were summarized across five aspects.Conclusion:This study synthesizes the evidence on discharge preparation services for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.It is recommended that healthcare professionals apply this evidence in clinical practice,considering specific circumstances and patient needs.
文摘Leg-length discrepancy(LLD)in individuals experiencing total hip arthroplasty(THA)is related to a substantially higher fall risk,length of post-operative hospital in-patient stay,elevated implant-related adverse events,and earlier revision.Therefore,it is essential to try to avoid LLD when implanting a THA.Several studies focus on this issue,including the following:Accelerometer-based portable navigation system,preoperative digital templating,robot-assisted surgery,the anatomical marker positioning method(shoulder-to-shoulder)and the artificial intelligence-based three-dimensional planning software system.The aforementioned methods should be familiar to surgeons who perform THA procedures,as a fundamental objective of this surgical intervention is to avoid LLD.
文摘BACKGROUND The optimal surgical approach for patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis(GHOA)and an intact rotator cuff remains debated.While anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty(TSA)has traditionally been favoured,reverse TSA(RTSA)is increasingly utilized.AIM To systematically compare the outcomes of RTSA and TSA in this specific patient population.METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.Retrospective comparative studies evaluating RTSA and TSA in patients with GHOA and intact rotator cuff were included.Key outcomes assessed included complication and reoperation rates,patient-reported outcome measures(PROMs),and range of motion.Risk of bias was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tool.RESULTS Twelve studies encompassing 1608 patients(580 RTSA,1028 TSA)met inclusion criteria.RTSA was associated with a lower reoperation rate compared to TSA[odds ratio=0.37;95%confidence interval(CI):0.14-0.94;P value=0.04],while no significant difference in overall complication rates was observed(odds ratio=0.47;95%CI:0.19-1.16;P value=0.10).RTSA patients showed superior outcomes in University of California Los Angeles,Simple Shoulder Test,and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index scores;however,the differences did not exceed the minimal clinically important difference.TSA patients had significantly better external rotation(mean difference=-9.0°;95%CI:-13.21 to-5.02;P value<0.0001).No significant differences were found in other range of motion measures or satisfaction scores.The overall methodological quality of included studies was moderate to serious.CONCLUSION In patients with GHOA and an intact rotator cuff,RTSA may offer comparable or improved outcomes to TSA with lower reoperation rates and similar complication profiles.Functional outcomes favour RTSA in certain patientreported outcome measures,while TSA retains an advantage in external rotation.Surgical decision-making should remain individualized based on patient characteristics and functional demands.
文摘BACKGROUND Medial dished(MD)liner designs for cruciate-retaining(CR)total knee arthroplasty(TKA)are a relatively novel development.MD tibial inserts have a more constraining medial side,which allows for more similar kinematics and function to a native knee.AIM To evaluate the clinical results and patient-reported outcomes after CR TKA procedures utilizing a kinematically designed medial dish system.METHODS A multicenter,retrospective cohort review of 139 primary elective TKAs utilizing a kinematically designed CR Knee System(JOURNEY™II CR MD;Smith and Nephew,Memphis,TN,United States)at three different institutions with a minimum of two years of follow-up.Demographic information,clinical outcomes,and patient-reported outcome measures were collected and analyzed.RESULTS With up to 3.7 years from surgery,overall implant survivorship was 98.6%.There were significant postoperative increases in the average Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement scores(17.4 at 6 months,26.1 points at two years or more,P<0.001).CONCLUSION The combination of high implant survivorship and substantial improvements in patient-reported outcome measures suggests that the medial dish tibial insert represents a safe and effective option within TKA.Additional investigation is necessary to evaluate the long-term survivorship of this design.
文摘Conventional multilevel inverters often suffer from high harmonic distortion and increased design complexity due to the need for numerous power semiconductor components,particularly at elevated voltage levels.Addressing these shortcomings,thiswork presents a robust 15-level PackedUCell(PUC)inverter topology designed for renewable energy and grid-connected applications.The proposed systemintegrates a sensor less proportional-resonant(PR)controller with an advanced carrier-based pulse width modulation scheme.This approach efficiently balances capacitor voltage,minimizes steady-state error,and strongly suppresses both zero and third-order harmonics resulting in reduced total harmonic distortion and enhanced voltage regulation.Additionally,a novel switching algorithm simplifies the design and implementation,further lowering voltage stress across switches.Extensive simulation results validate the performance under various resistive and resistive-inductive load conditions,demonstrating compliance with IEEE-519 THD standards and robust operation under dynamic changes.The proposed sensorless PR-controlled 15-PUC inverter thus offers a compelling,cost-effective solution for efficient power conversion in next-generation renewable energy systems.

文摘BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the most common malignancy of the digestive system and surgical resection is the primary treatment.Advances in surgical technology have reduced the risk of complications after radical gastrectomy;however,post-surgical pancreatic fistula remain a serious issue.These fistulas can lead to abdominal infections,anastomotic leakage,increased costs,and pain;thus,early diagnosis and prevention are crucial for a better prognosis.Currently,C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),and total bilirubin(TBil)levels are used to predict post-operative infections and anastomotic leakage.However,their predictive value for pancreatic fistula after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer remains unclear.The present study was conducted to determine their predictive value.AIM To determine the predictive value of CRP,PCT,and TBil levels for pancreatic fistula after gastric cancer surgery.METHODS In total,158 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at our hospital between January 2019 and January 2023 were included.The patients were assigned to a pancreatic fistula group or a non-pancreatic fistula group.Multivariate logistic analysis was conducted to assess the factors influencing development of a fistula.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to determine the predictive value of serum CRP,PCT,and TBil levels on day 1 postsurgery.RESULTS On day 1 post-surgery,the CRP,PCT,and TBil levels were significantly higher in the pancreatic fistula group than in the non-pancreatic fistula group(P<0.05).A higher fistula grade was associated with higher levels of the indices.Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in the presence of diabetes,hyperlipidemia,pancreatic injury,splenectomy,and the biomarker levels(P<0.05).Logistic multivariate analysis identified diabetes,hyperlipidemia,pancreatic injury,CRP level,and PCT level as independent risk factors.ROC curves yielded predictive values for CRP,PCT,and TBil levels,with the PCT level having the highest area under the curve(AUC)of 0.80[95%confidence interval(CI):0.72-0.90].Combined indicators improved the predictive value,with an AUC of 0.86(95%CI:0.78-0.93).CONCLUSION Elevated CRP,PCT,and TBil levels predict risk of pancreatic fistula post-gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

文摘BACKGROUND With the continuous development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years,laparoscopic total mesorectal excision(LapTME)and laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision(TaTME)have gradually become important surgical techniques for treating low-lying rectal cancer(LRC).However,there is still controversy over the efficacy and safety of these two surgical modalities in LRC treatment.AIM To compare the efficacy of LapTME vs TaTME in patients with LRC.METHODS Ninety-four patients with LRC who visited and were treated at the Affiliated Hengyang Hospital of Hunan Normal University&Hengyang Central Hospital between December 2022 and March 2024 were selected and divided into the LapTME(n=44)and TaTME(n=50)groups.Clinical operation indexes,postoperative recovery indicators,and postoperative complications were recorded.The anal resting pressure(ARP),anal maximum systolic pressure(MSP),and maximum tolerated volume(MTV)of the anal canal were also measured.The intestinal function of patients was evaluated by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center(MSKCC)bowel function questionnaire.Serum norepinephrine(NE),adrenaline(AD),and cortisol(Cor)levels were measured.The Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30(QLQC30)was used for quality of life assessment.RESULTS Compared with the LapTME group,the surgery time in the TaTME group was longer;intraoperative blood loss was low;time of anal exhaust,first postoperative ambulation,intestinal recovery,and hospital stay were shorter;and the distal incisal margin and specimen lengths were longer.The TaTME group also showed higher ARP,MSP,and MTV values and higher MSKCC and QLQ-C30 scores than the LapTME group 3 months postoperatively.Cor,AD,and NE levels were lower in the TaTME group than those in the LapTME group during recovery.CONCLUSION We demonstrated that TaTME better improved anal function,reduced postoperative stress,and accelerated postoperative recovery and,hence,was safer for patients with LRC.

文摘Based on the analysis of typical lacustrine shale oil zones in China and their geological characteristics,this study elucidates the fundamental differences between the enrichment patterns of shale oil sweet spots and conventional oil and gas.The key parameters and evaluation methods for assessing the large-scale production potential of lacustrine shale oil are proposed.The results show that shale oil is a petroleum resource that exists in organic-rich shale formations,in other words,it is preserved in its source bed,following a different process of generation-accumulation-enrichment from conventional oil and gas.Thus,the concept of“reservoir”seems to be inapplicable to shale oil.In China,lacustrine shale oil is distributed widely,but the geological characteristics and sweet spots enrichment patterns of shale oil vary significantly in lacustrine basins where the water environment and the tectonic evolution and diagenetic transformation frameworks are distinct.The core of the evaluation of lacustrine shale oil is“sweet spot volume”.The key factors for evaluating the large-scale production of continental shale oil are the oil storage capacity,oil-bearing capacity and oil producing capacity.The key parameters for evaluating these capacities are total porosity,oil content,and free oil content,respectively.It is recommended to determine the total porosity of shale by combining helium porosity measurement with nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)method,the oil content of key layers by using organic solvent extraction,NMR method and high pressure mercury intrusion methods,and the free oil content by using NMR fluid distribution secondary spectral stripping decomposition and logging.The research results contribute supplemental insights on continental shale oil deliverability in China,and provide a scientific basis for the rapid exploration and large-scale production of lacustrine shale oil.

文摘BACKGROUND The clinical impact of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in patients treated with PCI for chronic total occlusion (CTO) was still undetermined.METHODS All CTO vessels treated with successful anatomical PCI in patients from PANDA Ⅲ trial were retrospectively measured for postPCI QFR.The primary outcome was 2-year vessel-oriented composite endpoints (VOCEs,composite of target vessel-related cardiac death,target vessel-related myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization).Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was conducted to identify optimal cutoff value of post-PCI QFR for predicting the 2-year VOCEs,and all vessels were stratified by this optimal cutoff value.Cox proportional hazards models were employed to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI.RESULTS Among 428 CTO vessels treated with PCI,353 vessels (82.5%) were analyzable for post-PCI QFR.31 VOCEs (8.7%) occurred at 2 years.Mean value of post-PCI QFR was 0.92±0.13.Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis shown the optimal cutoff value of post-PCI QFR for predicting 2-year VOCEs was 0.91.The incidence of 2-year VOCEs in the vessel with post-PCI QFR<0.91 (n=91) was significantly higher compared with the vessels with post-PCI QFR≥0.91 (n=262)(22.0%vs.4.2%,HR=4.98,95%CI:2.32–10.70).CONCLUSIONS Higher post-PCI QFR values were associated with improved prognosis in the PCI practice for coronary CTO.Achieving functionally optimal PCI results (post-PCI QFR value≥0.91) tends to get better prognosis for patients with CTO lesions.
