Abstract: Background The quality of postoperative sleep is vital for surgical patients. A large number of patients after surgery suffer from sleep disorders. There are plenty of studies on postoperative sleep disorders. The aim of this study is to do a bibliometric analysis of the top-100 cited articles on postoperative sleep during the last 10 years, providing some clues to the investigators. Methods Publication retrieval was conducted in Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection on 12 January 2024. The 100 most frequently cited articles on postoperative sleep were identified and analyzed by VOSviewer and Excel. We mainly analyzed the publication year, citations, usage count, author, institution, country/region, journal and keywords. Results The number of citations ranged from 20 to 124 in WoS Core Collection, with a median of 35 and a mean of 40.79. USA (n = 39), China (n = 22) and Canada (n=9) ranked top three in terms of the number of publications and citations. Univ Copenhagen, Univ Toronto, and Lundbeck Ctr Fast Track Hip & Knee Arthroplasty were the top three institutions leading the researches on postoperative sleep. The journals specialized in Anesthesiology recorded the most high-quality articles. Postoperative pain, sleep, sleep quality, quality of life and postoperative delirium were the highly used keywords, while general anesthesia, fatigue, cognitive impairment and postoperative cognitive dysfunction were the latest topics. Conclusion At present, postoperative sleep researches have focused on the impacts of postoperative sleep disorders and pharmacological therapies to postoperative sleep disorders. However, non-pharmacological management of postoperative sleep should be paid more attention in the future.

Abstract: This study was conducted to determine association between perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis practices and occurrence of surgical site infections at Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital in Tanzania. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are preventable complications following surgery, but still cause significant burden in terms of patient morbidity, mortality and increased cost of treatment. A prospective cohort study was conducted among 162 operated patients. Patients with different trends of antibiotic prophylaxis were followed up for occurrence SSIs. Analysis of data was done by SPSS version 20 program using frequency tables, chi square test, Kaplan-meier and Cox regression methods. Significance level of < 0.05 was taken to establish associations between variables. It was found that, 60.5% of patients received preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, the overall surgical site infections rate was 14.8%. There was no significant difference in occurrence of surgical site infections between patients who received and those who did not receive preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (p=0.88). The study concluded that SSIs are significant complications. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is commonly practiced. Establishment of local protocol on antibiotic prophylaxis and adherence to infection prevention can improve the prevailing situation.

Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study was to analyse and compare of the clinical effects of two surgical methods in the treatment of Zhang-Hou fracture; Method: A total of 34 patients with Zhang-Hou fracture diagnosed in our hospital from 2020.08 to 2022.06 were reviewed. Among them, 17 patients were treated with tibial intramedullary nail internal fixation and 17 patients with traditional steel plate internal fixation. The blood loss, operation time, fracture healing time, excellent rate of affected limb function and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Result: The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time were shorter in the intramedullary nail group, and the excellent rate of limb function in the intramedullary nail group was higher than that in the plate group 6 months after operation, but there was no significant difference between the two groups 12 months after operation. All the patients in the intramedullary nail group hadn’t serious complications after operation. Among the 17 patients in the plate group, 1 patient had wound infection and 1 patient had delayed fracture healing. Conclusion: In the clinical treatment of Zhang-Hou fracture, tibial intramedullary nail internal fixation not only has the advantages of short operation time, less trauma and quick recovery after operation, but also has better functional recovery of the affected limb and less postoperative complications. However, clinicians' learning curve of tibial intramedullary nail internal fixation is relatively long.

Abstract: Sternal fixation with steel wires or cerclages, is the gold standard for closing a midline sternotomy, the standard incision in cardiac surgery. Rare wound complications can occur following a sternotomy wire closure. The objective of this study is to establish that the clinical efficacy of the Steelex Sternum Set is equivalent to the results documented in existing literature. The cohorts of the previously conducted OPTICABG and PREMIVALVE studies served as a foundation for the design of this retrospective, bicentric, international, single-arm study. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical performance of the Steelex Sternum Set for sternal closure after coronary artery bypass grafting or cardiac valve replacement/reconstruction surgery. The primary endpoint was the incidence of a composite consisting of sternum instability, sternum dehiscence, superficial and deep sternal wound infection up to six months after surgery. A quantitative summary of the available clinical literature has been conducted for comparison purposes. There were 229 patients in total (89 PREMIVALVE and 140 OPTICABG). The combined rate of surgical site infection and sternal dehiscence/instability was 3.49%, compared to 1.5 - 20% described in the literature. Severe complications such as mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, and mediastinitis occurred in about 0.8 - 2% of cases. The Steelex Sternum Set is a safe and appropriate method for sternal closure in a diverse patient population undergoing cardiac valve replacement and/or reconstruction, as well as coronary artery bypass graft surgery, in routine clinical settings.

Abstract: Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) have become very effective to treating the Osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and patients can get immediate relief from the pain and it can improve the motor functions of patient’s health status and widely used in clinical practice. Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures (VCF), which are fractures involving the vertebral bodies that make up the spinal column. Vertebroplasty are most often used to treat an injury called a compression fracture. This kind of injuries are most often caused by osteoporosis, which is the reason of bone weakness and osteoporosis are most common in older people. This study aimed to examine the osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) of Jinan, Shandong province, China, between male and female participants who were over 50 years of age. There are very few pertinent data regarding the relative or absolute contraindication of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). The purpose of this research was to assess and contrast the effectiveness of traditional kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty using high-viscosity cement in the treatment of severe OVCFs. In aged people, osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are prevalent and can result in significant osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures. Treatment options for individuals with these types of fractures include conservative measures, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). We compared the clinical effectiveness of PVP and PKP in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in this investigation. Therefore, we conducted a comparative study on Osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) patients who received either PVP or PKP treatment in our hospitals from January 2020 to December 2020 to investigate the clinical efficacy, advantages and disadvantages of the surgical methods, and to provide a reference for clinical selection of treatment methods.
