BACKGROUND The objective of the study was to identify risk factors for poor prognosis of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) with subaxial cervical fracture-dislocation after surgical treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 60 cervical SCI patients with subaxial cervical fracture-dislocation were primarily included in the study from April 2013 to April 2018. All the enrolled subjects received surgical treatment. The enrolled patients with complete follow-up record were divided into 2 groups based on the neural function prognosis: a non-functional restoration group and a functional restoration group. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for poor prognosis of SCI after surgical treatment. RESULTS Fifty-five subjects were included in this study, and the follow-up time ranged from 8.5 to 44.5 months. A total of 25 subjects were categorized into the non-functional restoration group and 30 subjects into the functional restoration group. According to the results of multivariate regression analysis, time from injury to operation (more than 3.8 days), subaxial cervical injury classification (SLIC, score more than 7.5), and maximum spinal cord compression (MSCC, more than 55.8%) are independent risk factors for poor prognosis of SCI after surgical treatment (p<0.05), with AUCs of 0.95 (time from injury to operation), 0.91 (SLIC score), and 0.96 (MSCC). CONCLUSIONS Time from injury to operation (more than 3.8 days), SLIC score (more than 7.5), and MSCC (more than 55.8%) are independent risk factors for poor prognosis of SCI with subaxial cervical fracture-dislocation after surgical treatment.

Background: Olecranon fractures account for 8 ∼ 10% of all elbow fractures and usually require surgical intervention. Tension band wiring (TBW) is considered as the standard treatment while it is associated with high re-operation rates.
Objective: This study aims to compare the functional outcomes, complications and re-operations of hook plate fixation (HPF) versus TBW in treating Mayo Type II olecranon fractures.

Background: HER2-targeted therapies have revolutionized the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients, leading to significant improvements in tumor response rates and survival. However, resistance and incomplete response remain considerable challenges. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition is a novel therapeutic strategy for the management of dyslipidemia by enhancing the clearance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol receptors, however recent evidence also shows links between PCSK9 and cancer cells.

Background: Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare auto-inflammatory disease that mainly affects children, and manifests with single or multiple painful bone lesions. Due to the lack of specific laboratory markers, CNO diagnosis is a matter of exclusion from different conditions, first and foremost bacterial osteomyelitis and malignancies. Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (WBMR) and bone biopsy are the gold standard for the diagnosis.

Background: Although non-surgical and surgical approaches have been developed to repair acute closed Achilles tendon ruptures, the medical community still lacks a definitive consensus on which approach is superior. This study describes a new minimally invasive internal splinting technique combined with knotless anchors for the treatment of 22 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 22 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture who were treated with a minimally invasive internal splinting technique at Jingzhou Hospital of Yangtze University between January 2022 to October 2023.

Department of Anaesthesiology, The Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410008, China.
Background: Postoperative fever (POF) is a common occurrence in patients undergoing major surgery, presenting challenges and burdens for both patients and surgeons yet. This study endeavors to examine the incidence, identify risk factors, and establish a machine learning-based predictive model for POF following surgery of oral cancer.
Methods: A total of seven hundred and twenty-seven consecutive patients undergoing radical resection of oral cancer were retrospectively investigated.
