Objective To evaluate measurement of the submucosal thickness with endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for activity of Crohn disease (CD).Methods Ten patients with active stage of CD and 10 healthy controls (HC) underwent EUS.Simple endoscopic score for Crohn disease(SES-CD)and submucosal thickness at the most severe lesions were measured and recorded.Submucosal thickness of the same region in CD patients were measured at remissive stage.In order to analyze the relationship between submucosal thickness and the stage of CD, submucosal thickness were compared among patients at active stage of CD, remissive stage of CD and HC.And the cut-off value of submucosal thickness was calculated to diagnose the stage of CD.Results The mean submucosal thicknesses of active stage and remissive stage of CD were 6.48±1.95 mm and 2.47±1.08 mm,respectively (P<0.01).The correlation analysis showed that submucosal thickness had a positive correlation with Crohn disease activity index(CDAI)(r=0.708,P<0.01) and SES-CD(r=0.807,P<0.01).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used for 10 cases of CD patients and the area under the curve was 0.985(P<0.01).The cut-off value of submucosal thickness to diagnose active stage of CD was 3.85 mm, and the sensitivity and specificity reached 100% and 90% respectively.The Youden index was 0.9.Conclusion Measurement of gastrointestinal submucosal thickness by EUS could contribute to evaluate the stage of CD and to guide clinical treatment.

Objective To identify mutations in the OSMR gene in a pedigree with familial primary cutaneous amyloidosis (FPCA).Methods Clinical data were collected from a pedigree with FPCA.Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband,his 19 relatives,and 50 unrelated healthy human controls.Genomic DNA was extracted from these blood samples,and subjected to PCR for the amplification of 18 encoding exons and their flanking sequences of the OSMR gene followed by DNA sequencing.Results A heterozygous missense mutation c.2081C > T,which leads to the substitution of proline by threonine at position 694,was detected in the OSMR gene of the proband and his affected relatives,but not in unaffected relatives or healthy controls.Conclusion The heterozygous mutation p.P694L in the OSMR gene may cause the clinical phenotype of FPCA in this family.

Objective:
To analyze the characteristics of school injury among students aged 3 to 18 years in Yantian District of Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, so as to provide the reference for developing the strategies for prevention and control of school injury.
Methods:
Data of the students aged 3 to 18 years who were initially diagnosed as injury in sentinel hospitals and whose injuries occurred in nurseries, primary or middle schools in Yantian District in 2023, were collected from the Shenzhen Injury Surveillance System. The onset time, places, activities, characteristics and sites of injury were descriptively analyzed.
Results:
A total of 1 681 cases of school injuries among students aged 3 to 18 years were reported in Yantian District in 2023, including 1 182 boys and 499 girls, with a boy-to-girl ratio of 2.37∶1. There were 206 preschool children (12.25%), 856 primary school students (50.92%), 358 junior high school students (21.30%) and 261 high school students (15.53%). The peak months for school injuries were February to June, accounting for 49.97%; the peak time period was from 15: 00 to 18: 59, accounting for 44.68%. The main causes of injuries included falls (41.94%) and blunt injury (33.85%). The activities at the time of injury mainly included leisure activities (57.70%) and physical activities (21.83%). Contusion/abrasion was the main characteristics (49.20%). Mild injury was predominant, accounting for 74.60%, and there was no fatal case. The top three injury sites were the head and neck, upper limbs and lower limbs, accounting for 36.94%, 27.54%, and 24.33%, respectively. Boys had higher proportions of blunt injuries and contusion/abrasion (AR=4.8 and 4.0). The proportion of sports injuries, sprains/strains and lower limb injuries increased with grade (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
School injury among students predominantly occur in spring when having leisure or physical activities in Yantian District. The main causes of injuries are falls and blunt injury, with boys and primary school students being the high-risk groups.

Objective To investigate the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their clinical significance. Methods Peripheral blood and brain tissue samples were obtained from 60 TBI patients. According to the GCS score, 60 TBI patients were divided into the moderate damage group, the severe damage group and the especially severe damage group. According to the different time points after the injury, the patients were divided into <6 hours group, 6-24 hours group, 24-72 hours group and >72 hours group. The 60 control brain tissue samples were obtained from patients with cerebral aneurysms and undergoing craniotomy at the same time; and control peripheral blood were collected from 60 healthy people. The levels of HIF-1α were measured with RT-PCR and Western blot . One-way ANOVA and t-test were used to analyze the results with SPSS 18.0. Results The expression of HIF-1α in the control group [peripheral blood: HIF-1α mRNA (0.35±0.12), HIF-1α protein (0.28±0.06) ;brain tissue: HIF-1α mRNA (0.65±0.08),HIF-1α protein (0.78±0.08)] was obviously lower than those in the TBI groups, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Along with the damage degree aggravating, the expression of HIF-1α was increased. The expression of HIF-1α in the especially severe damage group was statistically higher than those of the severe damage group and the moderate damage group (P<0.05). The expression of HIF-1α was increased along with the extension of time after the injury. The expression of HIF-1α in the 24-72 h group was significantly higher than those of the >72 h group, 6-24 h group and <6 h group (P<0.05). Conclusions The expression of HIF-1α is closely related to the severity of TBI and may play an important role in the progress of TBI.

Objective:To investigate the outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) through modified Smith-Petersen or Bikini approach with an auxiliary posterolateral incision for developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH).Methods:85 patients (97 hips) who underwent PAO through modified Smith-Petersen or Bikini approach with auxiliary posterolateral incision for DDH in the 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People's Liberation Army or the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 70 females and 15 males, with an average age of 28.6±8.4 years (12-49). According to the Hartofilakidis classification, all patients were classified as type Ⅰ. There were 77 hips classified as Grade 0 and 20 hips classified as Grade 1 according to the T?nnis classification. The X-ray evaluation including the lateral central edge angle (LCEA), t?nnis angle (TNS) and anterior central edge angle (ACEA), visual analogue score (VAS) and modified Harries hip score (mHHS) were recorded preoperatively and during each postoperative follow-up. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) method was used to fit the learning curves of operation time.Results:All patients were followed-up with an average of 52.7±18.9 months (21 to 84). The average operative time and intraoperative blood loss were 95.9±28.2 min (65 to 215) and 414.7±97.0 ml (250 to 900), respectively. The learning curve of operation time was 10 cases. The average LCEA 32.39° (30.29°, 34.92°), TNS 3.14° (1.56°, 5.67°) and ACEA 31.55° (29.07°, 33.88°) were all significantly improved compared to preoperative values ( Z=-30.764, P<0.001; Z=30.595, P<0.001; Z=-38.134, P<0.001). The average VAS was reduced from 5.18±0.88 points preoperatively to 1.27±0.93 points postoperatively with significant difference ( t=51.231, P<0.001). The average mHHS was increased from 73.12±9.17 to 92.02±4.05 postoperatively with significant difference ( t=-26.902, P<0.001). No patients received total hip arthroplasty during the follow-up period. Conclusion:Bernese PAO through modified Smith-Petersen or Bikini approach with a small auxiliary posterolateral incision was not only a safe and effective method for the treatment of DDH but also shortened the learning curve and reduced difficulty of the surgery.
