Objective:To explore the morphology of coronoid process fracture in terrible triad injury based on Adams classification.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was used to analyze the three-dimensional CT data of 51 patients with terrible trind injury treated at First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2013 to August 2021, including 33 males and 18 females, aged 18-88 years [(44.7±12.0)years]. The model of ulna coronoid process fracture was established by three-dimensional CT reconstruction technology and was classified according to Adams coronoid process fracture classification. Type I was the coronoid process tip fracture, type II the coronoid process transverse fracture, type III the base fracture of the coronoid process, type IV anterior internal fracture the anteromedial oblique fracture of the coronoid process, and type IV anterior external fracture the anterolateral oblique fracture of the coronoid process. According to the characteristics of the coronoid fracture fragment, type IV anterior external fracture was divided into two subtypes: α subtype involving the coronoid tip and β subtype without involving the coronoid tip. Then, the proportion, height, surface area and volume of different types of coronoid fractures were measured. The proportion, height, surface area and volume of fracture fragments of two subtypes of type IV anterior external fracture were measured, as well as the area of ulnar trochlear joint, area of trochlear joint of ulnar fracture fragment, proportion of the area of trochlear joint affected by the ulnar fragment, area of proximal radioulnar joint, area of proximal radioulnar joint of ulnar fracture fragment and proportion of the area of proximal radioulnar joint affected by the ulnar fragment.Results:Among the patients with terrible triad injury, the ulnar coronoid process fracture was Adams type I in 17 patients (33%), type II in 4 (8%), type III in 4 (8%), type IV anterior internal fracture in 4 (8%) and type IV anterior external fracture in 22 (43%). The height of fracture fragment of type I, type II, type III, type IV anterior internal fracture and type IV anterior external fracture was (3.7±1.9)mm, (10.8±1.1)mm, (14.4±1.2)mm, (5.2±2.4)mm and (6.7±2.6)mm, respectively; the surface area was 63.7(21.4, 221.0)mm 2, 1 086.8(606.8, 1 434.2)mm 2, 1 658.8(1 335.6, 1 695.4)mm 2, 437.3(185.6, 437.3)mm 2 and 511.8(198.8, 646.5)mm 2, respectively; the volume was 46.3(21.4, 180.5)mm 3, 938.7(629.8, 1 011.3)mm 3, 1 797.4(1 520.2, 1 903.7)mm 3, 429.3(138.1, 992.4)mm 3 and 461.9(144.9, 707.1)mm 3, respectively. There were significant differences in the height, surface area and volume of coronoid process fracture with different Adams classification (all P<0.01). Among 22 patients with type IV anterior external fracture, 12 patients were with α subtype and 10 with β subtype. The fracture height of α and β subtypes was (8.6±2.6)mm and (5.0±2.4)mm, respectively; the surface area was 633.2 (530.3, 727.4)mm 2 and 181.4 (136.7, 450.3)mm 2, respectively; the volume was 692.8 (477.6, 778.0)mm 3 and 128.0 (74.2, 405.1)mm 3, respectively. The height, surface area and volume of fracture fragment were significantly different between the two subtypes (all P<0.01). The area of ulnar trochlear joint of α and β subtypes were 901.4(755.1, 1 060.6)mm 2 and 835.2(767.7,909.3)mm 2, respectively; the area of trochlear joint of α and β subtype fragment was 104.1(79.4, 139.9)mm 2 and 38.8(21.3, 58.1)mm 2, respectively; the proportion of the area of trochlear joint affected by α and β subtype fragment was 0.12(0.09, 0.15) and 0.05(0.03, 0.07), respectively. There was no significant difference between α and β subtypes in the area of trochlear joint of ulna ( P>0.05), but the area of trochlear joint of α subtype fragment and proportion of the area of trochlear joint affected by α subtype fragment were higher than those of β subtype fragment (all P<0.01). The area of proxima radioulnar joint of α and β subtypes was 147.9(111.7,164.2)mm 2 and 137.0(118.7,166.7)mm 2, respectively; the area of proximal radioulnar joint of α and β subtypes fragment was 17.7(13.4, 52.2)mm 2 and 6.1(2.6, 20.0)mm 2, respectively; the proportion of the area of proximal radioulnar joint affected by α and β subtypes fragment was 0.12(0.10, 0.35) and 0.05(0.03, 0.15), respectively. There were no significant differences between the two subtypes in proximal radioulnar joint damage (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Adams type IV fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna occupies a large proportion in terrible triad injury, and the type IV anterior external fracture is the main type containing two subtypes with differences in fragment size and shape. However, the injuries to the proximal radioulnar joint surface are similar for the two subtypes, so the injuries of type IV anterior external fracture with different sizes to the proximal radioulnar joint surface should not be neglected in clinical treatment.

Objective:
The study aimed to investigate the diurnal variation in cervical disc hydration and its relationship with cervical degeneration.
Materials and Methods:
C3–C7 discs of 86 prospectively enrolled participants (37 males, 49 females; mean age ± standard deviation, 23.5 ± 2.5 years) were assessed using T2 mapping in the morning and evening. All discs were stratified by Miyazaki grade or C2–C7 Cobb angle and T2 values (T2). The degree of diurnal T2 variation (T2-DDV), defined as (morning T2 – evening T2)/morning T2 x 100%, was measured for the entire disc, annulus fibrosus (AF), nucleus pulposus (NP), and endplate zones.
Results:
T2 of the entire disc decreased significantly after the daytime load (p < 0.001), with a T2-DDV of 13.3% for all discs and 16.0%, 12.2%, and 13.0% for healthy (grade I), mild degenerative (grade II), and advanced degenerative (grade III/IV) discs, respectively. T2 of regional NPs and AFs decreased significantly from morning to evening (p ≤ 0.049) except in the healthy anterior inner AF (p = 0.092). Compared with healthy discs, mild degenerative discs displayed lower T2 and T2-DDV in regional NPs (p < 0.001). Advanced degenerative discs showed higher T2-DDV in the anterior inner AF compared with healthy discs (p = 0.050). Significant diurnal T2 changes in the endplate zones were observed only in healthy discs (p = 0.013). Cervical discs in the low Cobb angle group showed higher T2-DDV in the anterior AFs and anterior NP and lower T2-DDV in the posterior AF than those in the high Cobb angle group (p ≤ 0.041).
Conclusion
This study characterized the diurnal variation in hydration of the cervical discs as assessed using T2 mapping and revealed early chemo-mechanical coupling dysfunction in degenerating discs. Cervical sagittal alignment on MRI can affect the diurnal stress patterns of the cervical discs. T2 mapping is sensitive to disc biomechanical dysfunction and offers translational potential from biomechanical research to clinical application.

Objective:To explore whether the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced modification of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is involved in the inflammatory signaling pathway of endothelial cells.Methods:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured in vitro, and cells in logarithmic growth phase were used for experiments. Cells were divided into blank control group, LPS group (2 000 mg/L LPS), O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) overexpression (OGT-OE)+LPS group (plasmid transfection OGT+2 000 mg/L LPS), protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor+LPS group (10 μmol/L Go 6983+2 000 mg/L LPS), RhoA inhibitor+LPS group (40 μmol/L Rhoin hydrochloride+2 000 mg/L LPS), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor+LPS group (1 μmol/L SL-2052+2 000 mg/L LPS), serine/threonine kinase (Akt) inhibitor+LPS group (10 μmol/L PP2+2 000 mg/L LPS) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) treated Akt (si-AKT)+LPS group (si-Akt+2 000 mg/L LPS). After 24 hours of LPS treatment, real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the transcription levels of inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)]. The protein expression or phosphorylation of OGT, O-GlcNAc, Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were determined by Western blotting. Results:Compared with the blank control group, the expression of OGT and the modification of O-GlcNAc in the LPS group were decreased, while the expressions of phosphorylated ERK, p38MAPK, and STAT3 were increased, and the transcript levels of inflammatory cytokines were also significantly increased [IL-6 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 4.71±0.60 vs. 1.03±0.29, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 1.89±0.11 vs. 1.04±0.35, ICAM-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.06±0.18 vs. 1.02±0.21, VCAM-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.94±0.57 vs. 1.01±0.17, all P < 0.05], indicating that LPS could decrease O-GlcNAc modification, activate inflammatory signaling pathways and increase inflammatory cytokines expression. Compared with the LPS group, the expressions of phosphorylated ERK, p38MAPK, NF-κB p65, and STAT3 in the endothelial cells of the OGT-OE+LPS group were decreased, and the expression of inflammatory factors were significantly decreased [IL-6 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.12±0.01 vs. 0.90±0.17, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.31±0.01 vs. 0.91±0.14, ICAM-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.64±0.02 vs. 1.13±0.16, VCAM-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.11±0.01 vs. 0.93±0.11, all P < 0.05], indicating that the increase of OGT level could inhibit the partial activation of the endothelial inflammatory signal pathway under the LPS stimulation. Compared with the blank control group, the phosphorylation level of Akt in the LPS group was increased. Compared with the LPS group, both OGT expression and O-GlcNAc modification were down-regulated after pretreatment of PKC inhibitor, RhoA inhibitor, PI3K inhibitor, or Akt inhibitor. Compared with the LPS group, the transcript levels of IL-6, TNF-α and ICAM-1 in the PP2+LPS group were significantly decreased [IL-6 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 1.46±0.16 vs. 3.55±0.87, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.98±0.14 vs. 1.76±0.10, ICAM-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 1.39±0.24 vs. 2.04±0.13, all P < 0.05], but there was no significant change in VCAM-1. Compared with the LPS group, the expression of OGT and O-GlcNAc modification in the si-Akt+LPS group were decreased, while the transcript levels of inflammatory cytokines were also significantly decreased [IL-6 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.75±0.03 vs. 0.99±0.09, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.69±0.01 vs. 1.10±0.08, ICAM-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.76±0.01 vs. 0.99±0.02, VCAM-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.93±0.08 vs. 1.20±0.21, all P < 0.05], indicating that Akt participated in the action process of LPS on OGT and affected the inflammatory factor expression. Conclusions:The decreased level of O-GlcNAc modification in endothelial cells stimulated with LPS promotes partial activation of inflammatory signaling pathways, mainly involving ERK, p38MAPK, and STAT3, and affects the expression of inflammatory factors. AKT may be involved in the effect of LPS on the inhibition of O-GlcNAc modification.

Objective:To analyze the types of ulnar coronoid process fractures in terrible triad injury (TTI) using three coronoid fracture classification systems and to explore the characteristics of coronoid process fractures and compare the reliability of different coronoid process fractures classification systems in TTI.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the CT data of 43 patients with typical TTI admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2013 to October 2020. There were 26 males and 17 females, aged from 18 to 88 years [(41.8±15.6)years]. An independent three-dimensional model of the proximal ulna was established using the CT three-dimensional reconstruction technology. The characteristics of the coronoid process fractures were observed. The Regan-Morrey classification, O'Driscoll classification and Adams classification were used to classify the ulnar coronoid process fractures. The reliability of the three classification systems of coronoid fractures was analyzed.Results:The fracture line of the coronoid process was mostly located anterolaterally. Among all patients with ulnar coronoid fractures, there were 17 patients (40%) with type I, 19 (44%) with type II and 7(16%) with type III according to Regan-Morrey classification; there were 34 patients (79%) with type I, 2(5%) with type II and 7(16%) with type III according to O'Driscoll classification; there were 12 patients (28%) with type I, 3(7%) with type II, 7(16%) with type III, 18(42%) with type IV AL and 2(5%) with type IV AM according to Adams classification. Through reliability analysis, the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of Regan-Morrey classification were 0.752, 0.813, 0.772 and 0.703, respectively; the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of O'Driscoll classification were 0.797, 0.774, 0.837 and 0.775, respectively; the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of Adams classification were 0.805, 0.835, 0.837 and 0.875, respectively.Conclusions:Most of the coronoid process fractures locate anterolaterally in TTI. Compared with Regan-Morrey classification and O'Driscoll classification, the reliability of Adams classification is best. Adams classification further subdivides the anterolateral fractures of the coronoid process, which may be more suitable in evaluating the classification of ulnar coronoid process fractures in TTI.

Objective:To explore the surgical outcomes of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) patients with "difficult to locate" intractable epilepsy and their influencing factors.Methods:Thirty-five FCD patients with "difficult to locate" intractable epilepsy, underwent surgical treatment after intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) evaluation in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2018, were chosen in our study. Engel grading was used to evaluate the surgical efficacies of these patients, and they were divided into a satisfied efficacy group (Engel grading I) and an incomplete satisfied efficacy group (Engel grading II-IV). The clinical data of patients from the 2 groups were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors for surgical outcomes of FCD patients with "difficult to locate" intractable epilepsy.Results:Of these 35 patients, 26 patients (74.3%) achieved satisfied efficacy, and 4 had incomplete satisfied efficacy. As compared with those in the satisfied efficacy group, patients in the incomplete satisfied efficacy group had significantly lower total resection rate of epileptogenic foci ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that incomplete resection of epileptogenic foci was the influencing factor for surgical outcomes of FCD patients with "difficult to locate" intractable epilepsy ( P=0.014, OR=0.050, 95%CI: 0.005-0.547). Conclusion:The FCD patients with "difficult to locate" intractable epilepsy can achieve satisfactory results by surgical resection of epileptogenic zones after iEEG monitoring; these FCD patients with "difficult to locate" intractable epilepsy with incomplete resection of epileptogenic foci often have poor surgical outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the syndrome differentiation medication law of TCM in treating overactive bladder (OAB) based on data mining techniques.Methods:The articles about the treatment of OAB with TCM were collected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, Chongqing VIP database and SinoMed. A prescription database for OAB was established. Methods such as frequency statistics, association rule analysis, clustering analysis, and factor analysis were used to analyze the medication law of the prescriptions.Results:The results showed that a total of 91 prescriptions were included, involving 134 kinds of Chinese materia medica. Five drugs were with a usage frequency of >30%. The top 4 categories with medication frequency were herbs for tonifying deficiency, herbs for inducing diuresis and draining dampness, herbs for relieving exterior syndrome and herbs for regulating qi. The properties of the included herbs were characterized by mild and warm, and the tastes were mainly sweet, pungent and bitter. The majority of meridian tropism was kidney meridian, supplemented by spleen, liver and lung meridians. The association rule analysis showed eight high-relevance medicine pairs, and four new candidate prescriptions were summarized after the clustering analysis, and six common factors were extracted by factor analysis.Conclusions:The location of the lesion of overactive bladder is mainly about the kidney, related to the spleen, liver and lung. And the pathogenesis is based on the kidney deficiency, which also due to the adverse qi transformation in triple energizer. Clinical medication is mainly about the herbs for tonifying deficiency and the herbs for inducing diuresis and draining dampness; at the same time those herbs for regulating qi and relieving exterior syndrome should be paid attention to, which are able to smooth and regulate the qi of the whole body.
