The use of food and agricultural waste-derived carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has become of interest due to their biodegradability and cost-effectiveness. In the current research, cellulose was extracted from broccoli stems to produce carboxymethyl cellulose using a carboxymethylation reaction via chloroacetic acid (CAA) and sodium hydroxide (5-10 M). The effects of different synthesis conditions on the degree of substitution (DS) and viscosity of the synthesized CMC powder were investigated.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of modified suspension reduction method combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures.

Methods: From February 2020 to October 2021, 92 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture were treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into the observation group and the control group.

Unlike azobenzene, the photoisomerization behavior of its ethylene-bridged derivative, diazocine, has hardly been explored in synthetic polymers. In this communication, linear photoresponsive poly(thioether)s containing diazocine moieties in the polymer backbone with different spacer lengths are reported. They were synthesized in thiol-ene polyadditions between a diazocine diacrylate and 1,6-hexanedithiol.

Background: Cannulation strategy in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains controversial. We aimed to retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of double arterial cannulation (DAC) compared with right axillary cannulation (RAC) for ATAAD.

Methods: From January 2016 to December 2018, 431 ATAAD patients were enrolled in the study.

Objective: This study aims to figure out risk factors of in-hospital preoperative rupture of hyperacute type A aortic dissection (haTAAD) patients and build a prediction and risk stratification model.

Methods: From January 2011 to December 2019, 830 patients diagnosed as haTAAD from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were enrolled. Among them, 799 patients received prompt surgery and 31 suffered aortic rupture before operation.

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (aTAAD) with preoperative cerebral ischemia (CI) is common and lethal, but the timing and treatment method remain uncertain. We retrospectively reviewed our aTAAD patients with CI and analyzed the outcomes and related risk factors.

Methods: From January 2011 to December 2019, 1,173 patients diagnosed with aTAAD from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were enrolled.
