BACKGROUND:With more and more research available,there are different classification systems for intertrochanteric fracture,from Evans and Boyd-Griffin classification to Evans-Jensen and AO/OTA classification,all providing guidance for choosing an appropriate treatment scheme.OBJECTIVE:To review the advance in the treatment of senile unstable intertrochanteric fractures.METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,WanFang and CNKI databases were searched with the keywords of intertrochanteric fracture,intramedullary nail,hip arthroplasty in English and Chinese,respectively.1 535 literatures were retrieved firstly,and finally 47 articles were included in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The therapy conception of intertrochanteric fractures has been changed from conservative traction to early surgical treatment.With the development of technology,the internal fixators have been improved continuously.Screw-plate system has been developed from Jewett plate,AO/ASIF plate to dynamic hip screw.Intramedullary nails such as Gamma,proximal femoral and proximal femoral antirotation nails have been successfully applied in clinic.Senile patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures also obtain favorable prognosis through active internal fixation,but the high incidence of complications appears because of osteoporosis,osteogenesis deficiency and accompanied by degenerative hip diseases.Thereafter,hip arthroplasty is recommended to treat senile unstable intertrochanteric fractures so as to achieve rapid functional recovery,desired efficacy and low incidence of complications.However,it still remains controversial to choose internal fixation or hip arthroplasty.

AIM:To investigate whether oxidative stress is able to induce autophagy in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and to explore the effects of autophagy on MSC proliferation and apoptosis under oxidative stress circumstance as well as the underlying mechanism for promoting the therapeutic effects of transplanted MSCs on treating diabetes mellitus e -rectile dysfunction ( DMED) .METHODS: Hydrogen peroxide ( H2 O2 ) was applied to simulate the oxidative stress cir-cumstance.The effects of H2 O2 at concentration of 0, 50, 100, 200, 400μmol/L on the viability of MSCs were tested by the method of Trypan blue exclusion and MTT assay respectively .The methods of MTT assay , Western blot and transmis-sion electron microscope ( TEM) were used to explore the effects of H 2 O2 on MSC apoptosis and autophagy .RESULTS:The proliferation of MSCs was obviously inhibited by H 2 O2 in a dose-dependent manner ( P<0.01) and the 50%inhibiting concentration (IC50) was (384.58 ±16.89) μmol/L.H2O2 induced apoptosis and autophay of MSCs .The proliferation rate of MSCs was suppressed by H 2 O2 significantly ( P<0.05 ) , with a further decline by blockade of autophagy ( P<0.05) whereas increased by blockade of apoptosis (P<0.05).H2O2 induced MSCs apoptosis obviously (P<0.05), with an augment of apoptosis ( P<0.05) by blockade of autophagy .Furthermore, the H2 O2 increased expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1), Which were decreased by apoptosis blockade whereas were enhanced by blockade of autopahgy .CONCLUSION:Oxidative stress plays a dual role in MSC survival , which in-duces MSC apoptosis and autophagy .Moreover , blockade of autophagy intensifies MSC apoptosis .Therefore , it is a promis-ing method to ameliorate the effects of stem-cell based therapy on DMED by enhancing protective autophagy to increase the survival rate of transplanted MSCs against oxidative stress circumstance caused by diabetes mellitus .

BACKGROUND: Whether the differences exist between adipose-derived stem cells isolated from different parts of rats when cultured in vitro has been poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To compare the growth characteristics and adipogenic ability of adipose-derived stem cells isolated from different parts of rats. METHODS: Freshly isolated adipose-derived stem cells were obtained from 5 mL inguinal groove and greater omentum adipose tissue of F344 rats using type Ⅰ col agenase digestion method. Then, adipose-derived stem cells were counted and cultured in vitro. Morphological and growth characteristics of adipose-derived stem cells derived from the two sites were observed. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was utilized to examine the doubling time of adipose-derived stem cells from different parts. The passage 2 adipose-derived stem cells were induced adipogenical y. Fourteen days after being induced, the differentiated cells were stained with oil red O and the positive cells were counted. The adipogenic differentiation ability of adipose-derived stem cells from the different parts was assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The number of adipose-derived stem cells from the greater omentum fat tissue in the same group was (281±10)×107/L, which was significantly higher than that from the inguinal groove fat tissue [(85±10)×107/L] (P < 0.01). Adipose-derived stem cells from the greater omentum and inguinal groove fat tissue achieved the exponential growth period on days 5 and 6, respectively, and achieved the platform period on days 9 and 10, respectively. The corresponding doubling time was 50 hours and 60 hours, respectively. After being passaged, adipose-derived stem cells grew in fibroblast-like shape actively. The adipogenic differentiation rate of adipose-derived stem cells from the greater omentum fat tissue was higher than that from the inguinal groove fat tissue [(38.90±2.86)% vs. (35.30±3.29)%, P < 0.01]. This shows that the number and the adipogenic differentiation ability of adipose-derived stem cells from different parts of the same F344 rat are different.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the accuracy and feasibility of GeneXpert MTB/RIF (GeneXpert) detection in the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the characteristics of rifampicin-resistant rpoB gene mutations. Methods A total of 4 234 sputum samples from suspected tuberculosis patients diagnosed in Sanya tuberculosis designated hospitals from 2015 to 2021 were selected and subjected to sputum smear, solid culture, drug sensitivity test by solid proportion method and GeneXpert detection. Results The positive detection rates of sputum smear, solid culture and GeneXpert of 4 234 sputum samples were 29.24% (1 238/4 234), 32.17% (1 362/4 234) and 35.40% (1 499/4 234), respectively. The positive detection rate of GeneXpert was higher than that of sputum smear, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=36.775, P<0.01). It was slightly higher than solid culture, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=9.908, P=0.02). Taking solid culture results as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of GeneXpert for detecting MTB were 91.04% (1 240/1 362) and 90.98% (2 613/2 872), respectively. According to the proportional drug susceptibility test results as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of GeneXpert in detecting rifampicin resistance were 96.96% (96/99) and 98.86% (1 128/1 141), respectively, with the consensus rate of 98.71%. The accuracy of rifampicin resistance in GeneXpert group without probe mutation was significantly lower than that in group with probe mutation. There was a statistical difference in probe mutation frequency between newly treated and retreated cases. The analysis of rpoB gene mutation frequency characteristics showed: Probe E (50.00%) > Probe A (22.12%) > Probe D (14.42%) > Probe B (6.73%) > combined probe (5.77%) > Probe C (0.96%). Conclusions GeneXpert detection can quickly and effectively diagnose rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis, which is helpful for early clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this region, the rpoB gene mutation probes of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis mainly occurr in Probe E and Probe A, with the least mutations in Probe C.

Objective:To evaluate the value and effectiveness of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) theory in orthopedic surgery, and to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing rehabilitation plans during the perioperative period of orthopedic surgery.Methods:Relevant literature on the application of accelerated rehabilitation in orthopedic perioperative period officially published in Pubmed and the Chinese Medical Journal Database From January 2000 to October 2022 was searched and included in randomized controlled and clinical case studies. The patients were divided into the experimental group (ERAS group) and the control group (conventional treatment group). The patients in the experimental group were treated with ERAS mode after surgery, while the patients in the control group were treated with conventional rehabilitation mode after surgery. The hospital stay, postoperative complications, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and postoperative incidence rate of deep vein thrombosis in the two groups were statistically analyzed.Results:Finally, a total of 1 301 patients were included in 9 articles, divided into an experimental group (ERAS group, n=643) and a control group (conventional treatment group, n=652). There was a statistically significant difference in hospital stay between the experimental group and the control group ( MD=-4.11, 95% CI: -6.73 to -1.49, P=0.002); The overall effect tendency of the incidence of complications between the experimental group and the control group was statistically significant ( P=0.005); Compared with the control group, the incidence rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the experimental group was lower ( P=0.04); The incidence rate of postoperative deep vein thrombosis in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group ( P=0.02). Conclusions:The application of accelerated rehabilitation concept in orthopedic surgery patients can reduce the length of hospital stay, and reduce the incidence rate of postoperative complications, nausea and vomiting, and deep vein thrombosis.

In order to investigate the chemical constituents of glycosides in Piper sintenense Hatusima, column chromatographic techniques such as silica gel, ODS, MCI GEL CHP20P, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography were used to afford nine glycosides from the n-butanol part of the 95% ethanol extract of Piper sintenense Hatusima. Based on the physicochemical properties and NMR data, the above compounds were identified as (2S)-2-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), 2-phenylethyl β-D-glucopyranoside (2), benzyl α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1''→6')-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), benzyl β-D-xylopyanosyl-(1''→6')-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), phenethyl β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1''→ 2')-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), salidroside (6), phenethanol β-D-xylopyanosyl-(1''→6')-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), (Z)-hexenyl-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1''→6')-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), (Z)-hexenyl-O-β-D-xylopyanosyl-(1''→6')-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (9). Compound 1 was identified as a new compound, and compounds 3-9 were isolated from the genus Piper for the first time.

Lipotoxicity is a pivotal factor that initiates and exacerbates liver injury and is involved in the development of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). However, there are few reported lipotoxicity inhibitors. Here, we identified a natural anti-lipotoxicity candidate, HN-001, from the marine fungus Aspergillus sp. C1. HN-001 dose- and time- dependently reversed palmitic acid (PA)-induced hepatocyte death. This protection was associated with IRE-1α-mediated XBP-1 splicing inhibition, which resulted in suppression of XBP-1s nuclear translocation and transcriptional regulation. Knockdown of XBP-1s attenuated lipotoxicity, but no additional ameliorative effect of HN-001 on lipotoxicity was observed in XBP-1s knockdown hepatocytes. Notably, the ER stress and lipotoxicity amelioration was associated with PLA2. Both HN-001 and the PLA2 inhibitor MAFP inhibited PLA2 activity, reduced lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) level, subsequently ameliorated lipotoxicity. In contrast, overexpression of PLA2 caused exacerbation of lipotoxicity and weakened the anti-lipotoxic effects of HN-001. Additionally, HN-001 treatment suppressed the downstream pro-apoptotic JNK pathway. In vivo, chronic administration of HN-001 (i.p.) in mice alleviated all manifestations of MAFLD, including hepatic steatosis, liver injury, inflammation, and fibrogenesis. These effects were correlated with PLA2/IRE-1α/XBP-1s axis and JNK signaling suppression. These data indicate that HN-001 has therapeutic potential for MAFLD because it suppresses lipotoxicity, and provide a natural structural basis for developing anti-MAFLD candidates.
