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 test the reliability and validity of the general procrastination scale (GPS) in the application of middle school students.Methods:The Chinese version of GPS, the irrational procrastination scale(IPS), and the Maslach burnout inventory(MBI) were utilized to survey 10 825 middle school students in Harbin City through stratified random sampling, and 4 498 students were retested after 4 weeks. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 27.0 and Mplus 8.0.Results:The entries were well differentiated.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated that GPS was composed of two factors, including active avoidance and lack of planning.The model fit was good (CFI=0.914, TLI=0.901, RMSEA=0.069, SRMR=0.072). GPS was positively correlated with the total scores of IPS and MBI ( r=0.753, 0.677, both P<0.001). The Cronbach's α coefficient of GPS was 0.864, the folded half reliability was 0.870, and the retest reliability after 4 weeks was 0.756. Conclusion:The GPS has good reliability and validity among middle school students, which provides a standard for measuring the procrastination level of middle school students and carrying out related research.

In recent years, diabetic nephropathy (DN) has become an increasingly serious health challenge worldwide, and its morbidity and mortality rates are rapidly increasing. The patients suffering from the disease tend to be younger. DN is not only accompanied by a wide range of renal pathological changes, such as renal hypertrophy, inflammatory cell infiltration, expansion of the tethered membrane stroma, and thickening of the basement membrane but is also the main cause of end-stage renal disease and death in patients with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to explore new strategies for the prevention and treatment of DN. The pathogenesis of DN is intricate and complex, with current research focusing on multifactorial interactions between metabolic and hemodynamic factors, such as hypoxia, inflammatory responses, and fibrotic processes. Notably, hypoxia plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of DN. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), as a key regulatory protein commonly found in hypoxic cells, has a profound impact on various physiological and pathological processes, such as cell metabolism, vascular neogenesis, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. With its unique theoretical system and therapeutic approach, traditional Chinese medicine has demonstrated significant advantages in coping with hypoxic diseases and can slow down the progression of DN by regulating the expression level of HIF-1α and its downstream signaling molecules and exerting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifibrotic effects, which has positive clinical significance for drug development and early prevention and treatment of DN.
