Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with partial varus retention in the treatment of moderate knee varus.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 613 osteoarthritis patients with moderate knee varus who underwent TKA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2010 to October 2019. According to whether a 2°-3° of knee varus was retained, the patients were divided into the retained varus group and the mechanical alignment group. The retained varus group included 318 cases, with 63 males and 255 females, aged 68.51±6.95 years (range, 46-86 years), and BMI of 26.99±3.66 kg/m 2 (range, 17.40-39.01 kg/m 2). Preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) classification of knee osteoarthritis was grade III in 113 cases and grade IV in 205 cases. The mechanical alignment group included 295 cases, with 75 males and 220 females, aged 69.60±7.12 years (range, 52-87 years), and BMI of 26.95±3.94 kg/m 2 (range, 16.60-41.90 kg/m 2). Preoperative K-L classification was grade III in 102 cases and grade IV in 193 cases. Surgical duration, total blood loss, preoperative and postoperative varus angle, lower limb swelling on the fifth postoperative day, and postoperative complications were recorded. Follow-up were arranged at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years postoperatively. At each follow-up point, the visual analogue score (VAS) for knee pain, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12), and MOS item short-form health survey (SF-36) were assessed. Results:All 613 patients were successfully followed up, with a follow-up period of 5.25±1.02 years (range, 5.0-6.0 years). There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, BMI, and K-L classification between the two groups ( P>0.05). The differences in postoperative varus angle, VAS scores, and HSS score were statistically significant from the preoperative values in both groups( P<0.05). The surgical duration of the retained varus group was 77.40±18.55 min, total blood loss was 920.78±407.26 ml, and lower limb swelling on the fifth postoperative day was 1.18±0.51 cm, all of which were lower than those in the mechanical alignment group: 85.31±22.15 min, 1127.14±580.08 ml, 3.22±0.52 cm, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The VAS scores at postoperative day 5 and 3 months in the retained varus group were 5.08±0.72 and 2.18±1.09, respectively, which were lower than those in the mechanical alignment group: 5.80±0.81, 3.00±1.04, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in VAS scores at 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HSS scores at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively in the retained varus group were 68.57±4.98 and 79.04±3.26, respectively, which were higher than those in the mechanical alignment group: 64.14±3.99, 77.73±4.04, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in HSS scores at 1 year and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The FJS-12 scores at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively in the retained varus group were 18.06±3.50 and 27.50±1.80, respectively, which were higher than those in the mechanical alignment group: 13.45±2.44, 24.23±1.59, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in FJS-12 scores at 1 year and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The SF-36 scores at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively in the retained varus group were 40.85±8.07 and 52.15±6.01, respectively, which were higher than those in the mechanical alignment group: 35.87±6.83, 47.28±5.38, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in SF-36 scores at 1 year and 5 years postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs was 3.8% (12/318) in the retained varus group, which was lower than the 7.8% (23/295) in the mechanical alignment group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In osteoarthritis patients with moderate knee varus undergoing TKA, retaining approximately 3° of varus can reduce surgical trauma and total blood loss, shorten surgical duration, alleviate postoperative pain and limb swelling, facilitate functional recovery, and improve patient satisfaction.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Yigan Fupi Prescription （抑肝扶脾方， YFP） in treating diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-D） by investigating the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. MethodsSixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group， model group， YFP low-， medium-， and high-dose group， and pinaverium bromide group， with 10 rats in each group. All groups but the control group， were subjected to 21 days of tail-clamping stimulation and 14 days of senna leaf gavage to establish a liver stagnation and spleen deficiency-type IBS-D rat model. After successful modeling， the YFP low-， medium-， and high-dose group were administered 0.96， 1.93， and 3.87 g/（kg·d） of the prescription， respectively. The pinaverium bromide group was given 13.5 mg/（kg·d）， while the control and model groups were given 10 ml/（kg·d） distilled water. All groups were administered once daily for 14 consecutive days. General conditions of the rats were recorded during the experiment， and after modeling and drug administration， body weight， Bristol stool score， abdominal withdrawal reflex （AWR） score， and histo pathology of colon tissue were observed under HE staining. ELISA was used to detect serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6）. Immunofluorescence was employed to detect the levels of AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins including phosphorylated AKT （p-AKT）/AKT and phosphorylated mTOR （p-mTOR）/mTOR in the colon tissue. Western Blotting was used to detect the levels of autophagy-related proteins， including UNC-51-like kinase 1 （ULK1）， Beclin1 and LC3， and tight junction proteins including Occludin and ZO-1 in the colon tissue. ResultsAfter modeling， compared to the control group， the body weight of rats in the other groups decreased， and Bristol stool scores， as well as AWR scores under 20， 40， 60， and 80 mmHg increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After drug administration， compared to the control group， the model group showed reduced body weight， decreased ULK1， Beclin1， LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ， Occludin， and ZO-1 protein levels in the colon tissue （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and increased Bristol stool scores， AWR scores， serum TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 levels， as well as p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Pathological results showed a significant reduction in goblet cells in the upper part of the glandular layer of the colon， with mild inflammatory cell infiltration. The submucosal collagen fibers were dissolved， with unclear boundaries， pale staining， and microvascular congestion and dilation. Compared with the model group， the YFP low-， medium-， and high-dose group and the pinaverium bromide group showed increased body weight， Beclin1， Occludin， and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ protein levels （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and decreased Bristol stool scores， AWR scores under 40， 60， and 80 mmHg， serum IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α levels， and p-AKT/AKT， p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The pathological morphology of the rats in the YFP groups and pinaverium bromide group showed varying degrees of improvement. Compared with the pinaverium bromide group， the YFP low- and medium-dose group showed increased AWR scores under 20， 40， and 60 mmHg （P＜0.05）. The YFP low-dose group had reduced TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 levels， and increased p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels occured in all YFP groups （P＜0.05）. Compared with the YFP low-dose group， the YFP high-dose group and pinaverium bromide group showed decreased AWR scores under different pressure levels and reduced p-AKT/AKT protein relative expression levels， while the YFP medium- and high-dose group had elevated serum TNF-α， IL-1β levels and reduced p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels （P＜0.05）. ConclusionYFP can effectively improve the pathological injury of colon tissue in IBS-D model rats with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency， reduce Bristol stool and AWR scores， and its mechanism may be related to reducing level of inflammatory factors and inhibiting AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins in colon tissue， thereby enhancing the expression of autophagy-related proteins in the colon tissue.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the effect of preoperative patellar tilt angle on postoperative outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 277 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA without patellar replacement in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October 2020 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 72 males and 205 females, aged 69.16±6.77 years (range, 52-87 years), body mass index 27.01±3.81 kg/m 2 (range 18.14-39.01 kg/m 2). The patients were divided into three groups according to the preoperative tilt angle of the patella: tilt angle<5° for mild tilt group, 5°≤tilt angle<10° for moderate tilt group, and tilt angle≥10° for severe tilt group. There were 103 cases in the mild group, 137 cases in the moderate group, and 37 cases in the severe group. The preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and Feller's score of patella were compared. Results:All patients were followed up for 15.73±3.06 months (range, 12-22 months). The patellar tilt angle was 6.86°±3.55° preoperatively and 3.63°±2.61° postoperatively ( t=19.086, P<0.001). The patellar tilt angle of mild group, moderate group and severe group decreased after operation, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before operation ( P<0.05). The anterior knee VAS of the three groups decreased after operation, and the differences were statistically significant compared with those before operation. The anterior knee VAS at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation were lower than those before operation. The differences between groups at 6 and 12 months postoperatively were statistically significant ( P<0.05), with anterior knee VAS scores of 2.59±0.55 and 2.03±0.55 in the severe group being greater than those of 2.15±0.38 and 1.57±0.50 in the mild group and 2.19±0.49 and 1.67± 0.61 in the moderate group. The HSS score of the three groups was increased after operation, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before operation ( P<0.05), and the HSS scores at 3, 6 and 12 months after operation were higher than those before operation. There were significant differences at 6 and 12 months after operation ( P<0.05), the HSS scores of the severe group were 86.27±2.04 and 87.73±2.28, which were lower than those of the mild group 89.02±2.33 and 89.83±1.48, and the moderate group 88.77±2.83 and 89.52±1.95. Postoperative patellar Feller score increased in all three groups, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before operation ( P<0.05), the patellar Feller score at 3, 6 and 12 months after operation was higher than that before operation. There were significant differences at 6 and 12 months after operation ( P<0.05), the patellar Feller scores in the severe group were 18.32±1.99 and 20.32±1.60, which were lower than those in the mild group 20.92±1.01 and 23.07±1.39 and the moderate group 20.91±1.95 and 22.69±1.59. Conclusion:In TKA patients without patella replacement, the increase of patellar tilt angle before operation can lead to anterior knee pain and reduced knee function.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which baicalein alleviates osteoarthritis by regulating Sirtuin (Sirt) to inhibit the senescence of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS).Methods:FLS were extracted from synovium of non-osteoarthritis patients (3 patients) and osteoarthritis patients (3 patients), and assessed the senescence of FLS in osteoarthritis patients by Western blot, β-galactosidase staining and immunofluorescence, and examined the changing levels of Sirt family proteins and mRNAs in FLS. The relative expression level of Sirt1 in FLS was knocked down by transfection with Sirt1 siRNA, and the antioxidative capacity and senescence degree of FLS were analyzed. Chondrocytes were co-cultured with FLS and functional changes in chondrocytes were detected by Western blot. After inducing FLS senescence with bleomycin (BLM), different concentrations of baicalein were administered to detect the expression levels of Sirt1, p16, and p21 proteins and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). The expression level of Sirt1 in FLS was knocked down, and BLM and baicalein treatments were applied. The relative expression levels of Sirt1 and ROS were detected using Western blot and ROS assays. After BLM-induced FLS senescence, baicalein and Compound C were added. The relative expression levels of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), p16, p21, and ROS were detected by Western blot and ROS assays.Results:The relative expression of p16 and p21 in FLS in the osteoarthritic group were 3.66±0.38 and 3.55±0.34, which were higher than those in non-osteoarthritis group 1.00±0.07 and 1.00±0.09 ( t=11.860, P<0.001; t=12.520, P<0.001). The relative expression levels of Sirt1 and Sirt6 in FLS in the osteoarthritis group were 0.30±0.04 and 0.16±0.01, which were smaller than those in the non-osteoarthritis group 1.00 ± 0.03 and 1.00±0.04 ( t=23.840, P<0.001; t=34.130, P<0.001). After baicalein treatment, the relative expression of ROS was 2.58±0.28, 1.65±0.14 and 1.00±0.24 in the BLM, BLM+Bai and control groups, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the groups ( F=35.700, P<0.001), which was greater in the BLM and BLM+Bai than in the control group, and lower in the BLM+Bai than in the BLM group ( P<0.05). The relative expression of pAMPK and NRF2 was 0.28±0.02 and 0.38±0.09 after Compound C+Baicalein treatment, which was lower than that of 0.56±0.07 and 0.60±0.08 in the BLM+Bai group ( P<0.05). The relative expression of ROS increased from 1.75±0.16 to 3.45±0.12 ( P<0.001). The proportion of positivity in the BLM+Bai+Compound C, BLM+Bai and control groups was 47.30%±4.29%, 18.18%±3.89% and 7.70%±3.53% ( F=109.700, P<0.001), respectively, with the BLM+Bai+Compound C group being higher than that in the BLM+Bai group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The downregulation of Sirt1 expression in patients with osteoarthritis leads to FLS senescence and accelerates the progression of osteoarthritis. Baicalein can inhibit FLS senescence by activating Sirt1/AMPK/NRF2 pathway, which may delay the progression of osteoarthritis and improve the function of chondrocytes.
