OBJECTIVE:
To systematically evaluated clinical efficacy of Kirschner's needle and elastic intramedullary nail fixation in treating proximal humeral fractures in children by Meta-analysis.
METHODS:
Literature on the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in children with Kirschler needles and elastic intramedullary nails published on Wanfang, VIP, CNKI and China biology medicine (CBM), PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched from the establishment of databases to October, 2023. Literature extraction, management and data entry were performed by Endnote X9 and Excel 2019, and Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software. The operation time, hospital stay, fracture healing time, shoulder joint extension range of motion, disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand(DASH) questionnaire score, Neer score or Constant-Murley score and complications were compared between two groups.
RESULTS:
A total of 7 literatures were included, 1 was prospective study, 6 were retrospective cohort study. There were 521 children, 264 children in Kirschner wire group and 257 children in elastic intramedullary nail fixation group. The results of Meta analysis showed operation time[WMD=-12.61, 95%CI(-24.89, -0.33), P=0.04], fracture healing time[WMD=-0.26, 95%CI(-0.49, -0.02), P=0.03], total complication rate [OR=6.83, 95%CI(3.33, 14.01), P<0.001], nail tract infection rate[OR=6.77, 95%CI(1.72, 26.69), P=0.006] and displacement fracture rate[OR=3.57, 95%CI(1.35, 9.44), P=0.01] between two groups had statistically differences(P>0.05), while there were no statistically significant difference in comparison of hospital stay, shoulder joint extension range of motion, DASH, Neer score, Constant-Murley score, and incidence of skin irritation between two groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Kirschner's needle internal fixation has a short operation time and simple operation, but it has a higher incidence of complications compared with elastic nail internal fixation technique. In terms of efficacy and safety, elastic intramedullary nail fixation is one of the options for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in children.

OBJECTIVE:
To detect and analyze the expression and clinical significance of long non-coding RNA tyrosine kinase non-catalytic region adaptor protein 1-antisense RNA1 (NCK1-AS1) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
METHODS:
89 AML patients and 23 healthy controls were included from the People's Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of NCK1-AS1 and NCK1 in bone marrow samples. The relationship between the expression of NCK1-AS1 and the clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed, as well as the correlation between NCK1-AS1 and NCK1.
RESULTS:
The expression level of NCK1-AS1 in all AML, non-M3 AML and cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML) patients was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). In non-M3 AML, patients with high NCK1-AS1 expression had a significantly lower hemoglobin level than those with low NCK1-AS1 expression (P =0.036), furthermore, NCK1-AS1 high patients had shorter overall survival than NCK1-AS1low patients (P =0.0378). Multivariate analysis showed that NCK1-AS1 expression was an independent adverse factor in patients with non-M3 AML ( HR =2.392, 95% CI :1.089-5.255, P =0.030). In addition, NCK1 expression was also significantly upregulated in all AML, non-M3 AML and CN-AML patients compared with controls (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.001, respectively). There was a certain correlation between NCK1-AS1 and NCK1 expression (r =0.37, P =0.0058).
CONCLUSION
High expression of NCK1-AS1 in AML indicates poor prognosis of AML patients.

Aim Mouse model of myocardial hypertro-phy was established via intraperitoneal injection of iso-proterenol(ISO)in mice.This approach allows for an in-depth investigation into the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of action of emodin,offering novel in-sights and directions for the improvement of myocardial hypertrophy.Methods The mice were randomly di-vided into the following groups:control group(CON),emodin group(EMO),MAPK activator control group(EMO+Ani),model group(ISO),treatment group(ISO+EMO),and activator intervention group(ISO+EMO+Ani).After treatment with emodin and inter-vention with MAPK activator,the heart weight ratio and cardiac size of each group were observed.Hematoxy-lin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the patho-logical changes in cardiac tissue,and kits were utilized to measure the levels of GSH,LDH,and MDA in the serum.Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression levels of inflammatory and oxidative factors,as well as p-p38,p-ERK,p38,and ERK in cardiac tis-sue.Results Emodin can significantly inhibit the production of myocardial inflammatory and oxidative factors induced by ISO,thereby effectively alleviating the degree of myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis.Af-ter the p38/ERK signaling pathway was specifically ac-tivated by farnesol,the improvement effect of emodin on myocardial hypertrophy was weakened.Further comparison revealed that,compared with the myocardi-al hypertrophy pathological model group,the pathologi-cal protein expression levels in the farnesol-treated group showed no significant difference,and were even higher in some indicators.Conclusion Emodin can effectively inhibit the release of inflammatory factors and improve the state of oxidative stress by modulating the p38/ERK signaling pathway,thereby exerting an ameliorative effect on myocardial hypertrophy.
