We aimed to describe the prevalence of postoperative complications and evaluate its relationship with underweight, obesity, preoperative nutritional status, and systemic inflammation status in patients undergoing microvascular reconstruction for oral and maxillofacial cancer. Patients who were ≥20 years old and underwent microvascular reconstruction surgery between January 2009 to June 2019 were investigated. Patient demographics including body mass index, prognostic nutritional status, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio were collected. Logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate these impacts on postoperative complications. A postoperative complication was defined as a Clavien-Dindo classification more than or equal to II. Of the 145 patients included in the analysis, 83 patients (57.2%) experienced postoperative complications, belonging to a Clavien-Dindo classification Ⅱ (n=71), Ⅲb (n=11), and Ⅳa (n=1). Multiple logistic regression revealed that a body mass index less than 18.5 kg/m (odds ratio 6.19, 95% confidential interval 1.34-28.6, P=0.02) was related to postoperative complications. Another multiple logistic regression model including all explanatory factors found that underweight (P=0.03) was related to postoperative complications. This retrospective study showed that preoperative underweight was associated with postoperative complications as evaluated by the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Background: Ulinastatin (UTI), recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties, holds promise for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between intraoperative UTI administration and the incidence of delirium following cardiac surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on a retrospective cohort of 6,522 adult cardiac surgery patients to evaluate the relationship between UTI treatment and the incident of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients ongoing cardiac surgery.
The effects of the positioning of a bolt in the femoral neck system on the short-term outcomes of middle-aged and young adults with displaced femoral neck fractures.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Gusu School, Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou, 215000, China.
Background: To analyze the effects of the positioning of a bolt in the femoral neck system (FNS) on the short-term outcomes of middle-aged and young adults with displaced femoral neck fractures (FNFs).
Methods: This was a retrospective study involving 114 middle-aged and young adults with displaced FNFs who were surgically treated with internal fixation via the FNS in the Department of Orthopedics, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, from December 2019 to January 2023. The degree of deviation of the central axis of the femoral head and neck from the tip of the bolt (W), the tip‒apex distance (TAD) and the length of femoral neck shortening (LFNS) were measured on postoperative X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan images.
