BACKGROUND:At present,the use of a locking bone plate combined with steel wire or steel cable for the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fracture often adopts monocortical fixation,which is not stable and the proximal end of the bone cannot be achieved anatomically fitted by plate.The customized anatomical plate system can effectively solve this problem. OBJECTIVE:To explore the biomechanical strength of a customized anatomical plate system in fixation of Vancouver BI periprosthetic femoral fracture. METHODS:CT thin layer scanning data of normal femurs of 1 006 cases were selected and input into the MIMICS 21.0 software to establish the three-dimensional reconstruction model of the femur,which was set as the three-dimensional reconstruction group.56 complete human femoral specimens were selected as the femoral specimen group.The measured results of the two groups for femoral anatomical appearance were compared.If there was no significant difference between the two groups,the approximate appearance of a customized anatomical plate system was designed based on the measurement results in MIMICS 21.0 software and NX11.0 software.The customized anatomical plate system was designed and prepared according to the above measurement results.Eight pairs of frozen human femurs were selected to make Vancouver BI periprosthetic femoral fracture,which of the left were thin layer scanned by dual-source CT to obtain data.The data were transferred to determine the customized anatomical plate system model by the above design software.Eight sets of customized anatomical plate systems were ultimately produced,relying on the instrument company.The eight pairs of models were numbered 1-8.The left side was fixed with the customized anatomical plate system(customized anatomical plate system group);the right side was fixed with a metal locking plate system-large locking plate(claw plate group).L1-L4 and R1-R4 were subjected to vertical short-cycle loading test and vertical loading test.L5-L8 and R5-R8 were subjected to horizontal short-cycle loading test and four-point bending test.The vertical loading test and four-point bending test were used to collect bending load,bending displacement,and bending strain.Two short cycle loading tests were used to collect strain displacement to compare the maximum load,maximum displacement,bending stiffness,and short-period displacement resistance of the two kinds of bone plates. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were no significant differences in all indexes between the three-dimensional reconstruction group and the femoral specimen group(P>0.05).Individual customized anatomical plate system was designed based on the measurement results combined with digital software.(2)In the vertical loading test,the maximum load was higher(P=0.015),the maximum bending displacement was smaller(P=0.014),and the bending stiffness was higher(P=0.005)in the customized anatomical plate system group compared with the claw plate group.(3)In the four-point bending test,the maximum load was higher(P=0.023),the bending stiffness was higher(P=0.005),and the maximum bending displacement was not significant(P=0.216>0.05)in the customized anatomical plate system group compared with the claw plate group.(4)In the vertical short-cycle loading test,the average level of bending displacement in the customized anatomical plate system group(0.23±0.10 mm)was significantly lower than that in the claw plate group(0.44±0.02 mm)(P<0.05).(5)There was no significant difference in the average level of bending displacement between the two groups in the horizontal short cycle loading test(P>0.05).(6)It is concluded that the customized anatomical plate system has personalized anatomical characteristics,and the fixation of Vancouver BI periprosthetic femoral fracture is more stable,which has certain significance for clinical treatment.

OBJECTIVE To monitor the occurrence of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-induced kidney injury and investigate the risk factors, and provide reference for rational use of TDF in clinic. METHODS The information of inpatients with hepatitis B was collected by China Hospital Pharmacovigilance System (CHPS) from the Second People’s Hospital of Lanzhou during Jan. 1st, 2019 to Dec. 31st 2021. The search criteria were set according to kidney injury criteria, and suspected TDF- induced kidney injury cases were actively monitored; then the clinical pharmacist confirmed the positive patients with TDF-induced kidney injury one by one and calculated the incidence of TDF-induced renal injury; the risk factors for TDF-induced kidney injury in real world were explored by collecting and analyzing the correlation of basic data of patients, main indexes of liver and kidney function, complications and combined use of drugs with TDF-induced renal indexes. RESULTS Totally 1 226 inpatients with hepatitis B using TDF were included. Through active monitoring of CHPS, 160 suspected patients with TDF-induced kidney injury were found, and 64 positive patients were finally confirmed manually. The incidence of TDF-induced kidney injury was 5.22%. Compared with pre-medication, the levels of serum creatinine and cystatin C, the proportion of patients with urinary protein 2+ and above were increased significantly after medication (P<0.001), glomerular filtration rate and blood phosphorus level were reduced significantly (P<0.001) and other indicators had no statistical difference. Treatment time for more than 36 months, disease progresses to decompensated cirrhosis, and concomitant use of more than 10 kinds of drugs were significantly correlated with TDF- related kidney injury (P<0.05 or P<0.012 5). CONCLUSIONS The active monitoring scheme of TDF-induced kidney injury established by CHPS has the characteristics of time-saving, labor-saving and high efficiency; based on real-world evidence, it is imperative to strengthen monitoring kidney function of patients when using TDF, especially when the patient has been on medication for a long time, in decompensated cirrhosis and combination of multiple drugs, and thus, we can identify earlier and avoid adverse effects in high-risk patientseffectively.

Abstract
Astragalus polysaccharides(APS), as one of the main active components of Astragali Radix, a traditional famous tonic drug in China, has good pharmacological effects in regulating immunity and anti-oxidation. In recent years, with the success of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and anti-CTLA-4 drugs in cancer treatment, immunotherapy has truly become one of the main clinical anti-tumor treatment methods. Aiming at the characteristics of tumor immune escape and tumor microenvironment change, this paper explores the clinical potential of APS as an anti-tumor adjuvant drug, and summarizes the role and mechanism of APS in inhibiting tumor immune escape, regulating tumor microenvironment, and improving immune function. To summarize and analyze the immune regulation of APS on various tumors in order to provide an objective basis for APS as a clinical anti-tumor adjuvant drug.
