Objective To investigate the relationship between high DNA stainability(HDS)and routine semen parameters.Methods Semen samples were collected from 396 men of childbearing age who were admitted to our department.Correlations of HDS with routine semen parameters and age were analyzed.Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the routine semen parameters that had the greatest influence on HDS.The correlation of HDS and DNA fragmentation index(DFI)with routine semen parameters and age in 244 patients with teratozoospermia was analyzed.The 244 patients were divided into extremely severe,severe,moderate,and mild teratozoospermia groups,and differences in HDS,DFI,and routine semen parameters were compared among the four groups.Results HDS was negatively correlated with total sperm count,sperm concentration,sperm progressive motility,and normal sperm morphology rate(NSMR)(P<0.01).After adjusting for potential confounders,including total sperm count,sperm concentration,sperm progressive motility,NSMR,and DFI,NSMR had the most significant negative effect on HDS(P<0.05).In the 244 patients with teratozoospermia,HDS was negatively correlated with NSMR(P<0.01)and positively correlated with the percentage of sperm head and tail abnormalities(P<0.05),while DFI was positively correlated with the percentage of sperm tail abnormalities(P<0.01).There was a significant difference in the percentage of sperm head abnormalities among the four teratozoospermia groups.The more severe the malfor-mation,the higher the percentage of sperm head abnormalities was(P<0.001).HDS in the extremely severe teratozoospermia group was significantly higher than that in the mild and moderate teratozoospermia groups(P<0.05).No significant differences in DFI were found among the four groups(P>0.05).Conclusion HDS was closely correlated with routine semen parameters and was a crucial biomarker for assessing sperm quality,particularly the extent of sperm head abnormalities.

Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.

Objective:To investigate the construction and empirical study of the risk predic-tion model of postoperative complications in patients with acute cholecystitis undergoing laparo-scopic cholecystectomy(LC).Method:The clinical data of 101 patients with acute cholecystitis treated by LC from January 2021 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the occurrence of postoperative complications(the following symptoms occurred within 30 days after surgery,such as abdominal hemorrhage,bile leakage,biliary tract injury and wound infection),pa-tients were divided into complication group(26 cases)and non-complication group(75 cases).Uni-variate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the affecting factors of complications after LC in patients with acute cholecystitis,and the risk prediction model was con-structed,and the predictive value of the model was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve).Result:Univariate analysis showed that gender,BMI,cirrhosis,gallstone,gall-bladder atrophy and CCI grade were not correlated with postoperative complications in patients with acute cholecystitis after LC treatment(P>0.05).Age,gallbladder wall thickness,triangular ana-tomic variation,ASA-PS grade,TG13/TG18 grade were associated with postoperative complica-tions of LC in patients with acute cholecystitis(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age>70 years old,gallbladder wall thickness ≥5mm,triangular anatomical variation,ASA-PS grade Ⅲ~Ⅵ,TG13/TG18 grade Ⅲ were all independent risk factors for postoperative complications(P<0.05).ROC analysis showed that the AUC of the risk prediction model constructed based on the above five indicators was 0.836,and the sensitivity and specificity were 80.8%and 82.7%,which were all higher than the single indicators in the model,and the degree of fit of the risk prediction model was good(Hosmer-Lemeshow x2=0.998,P=0.986).Conclusion:Age>70 years old,gallbladder wall thickness ≥5mm,triangular anatomic variation,ASA-PS grade Ⅲ~Ⅵand TG13/TG18 grade Ⅲ were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with acute cholecystitis undergoing LC treatment.The risk prediction model constructed based on the above five indicators has high predictive value for postoperative complications in patients with acute cholecystitis undergoing LC treatment.

Purpose:
This study explored the association of the elasticity modulus and shear wave velocity (SWV) of the tibialis anterior muscle, as measured by two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE), with the intracompartmental pressure (ICP) determined using the Whitesides method in a New Zealand rabbit model of acute compartment syndrome (ACS). Additionally, it evaluated the viability of 2D-SWE as a noninvasive, quantitative tool for the early detection of ACS.
Methods:
An ACS model was established through direct external compression by applying pressure bandaging to the lower legs of 15 New Zealand rabbits using neonatal blood pressure cuffs. Another five animals represented a non-modeled control group. To measure the elasticity modulus and SWV of the tibialis anterior muscles, 2D-SWE was employed. Blood oxygen saturation, serum creatine kinase (CK), and myoglobin levels were monitored. Subsequently, the anterior tibial compartment was dissected, and the tibialis anterior was removed for hematoxylin and eosin staining to assess muscle injury.
Results:
The elasticity modulus and SWV of the tibialis anterior muscle increased with compression duration, as did serum CK and myoglobin levels. ICP was strongly positively correlated with these parameters, particularly mean velocity (r=0.942, P<0.001) and CK (r=0.942, P<0.001). Blood oxygen saturation was negatively correlated with ICP (r=-0.887, P<0.001). Histological analysis indicated progressive muscle cell swelling over time, with damage transitioning from reversible to irreversible and culminating in necrosis.
Conclusion
In a rabbit ACS model, ICP was strongly positively correlated with muscle elasticity modulus/SWV. Consequently, 2D-SWE may represent a novel tool for assessing early-phase ACS.
