Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of the "frame and buttress" fixation in the treatment of acetabular quadrilateral fractures.Methods:A total of 26 patients with acetabular quadrilateral fractures treated with the "Frame and buttress" fixation strategy (reconstructing frame and providing buttress for quadrilateral surface) from January 2017 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in the Department of Orthopaedics, Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, including 17 males and 9 females, aged 47.7±16.5 years, (range, 25-71 years). There were 13 cases from car accidents, 8 cases from falls, and 5 cases from heavy objects. Quadrilateral fractures were classified according to whether the anterior column (A) and posterior column (P) of the acetabulum were fractured and whether the quadrilateral plate (Q) was partially (1) or completely (2) separated from the two columns. Among these cases, there were 5 cases of type AQ1, 1 case of type AQ2, 1 case of type PQ2, 14 cases of type APQ1 and 5 cases of type APQ2. The "frame and buttress" fixation strategy was used to perform open reduction and internal fixation. The Matta scale was used to assess the quality of resurfacing based on pelvic radiographs, and the Matta modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel scores were referenced to evaluate hip function.Results:All the 26 patients successfully completed the operation, the operation time was 88.1±57.8 min (range, 90-320 min), the intraoperative bleeding was 753.8±309.5 ml (range, 400-1 400 ml). There were 14 cases of anatomical reduction, 8 cases of satisfactory reduction and 4 cases of unsatisfactory reduction with an excellent rate of 85% (22/26), the excellence rate was 85% (22/26). All patients were followed up for 16.3±4.3 months (range, 12-24 months). The hip function score after operation was higher than that before operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=19.80, P<0.001). The hip function score was 13.1±2.2 at 3 months postoperatively, increased to 15.9±2.3 at 6 months postoperatively, and increased to 16.6±1.9 at the last follow-up, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). After operation, 5 patients showed symptoms of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury such as hypoesthesia and numbness in the anterolateral thigh. During the follow-up, there was no ectopic ossification, traumatic arthritis, necrosis of the femoral head and central dislocation of the femoral head. Conclusion:The "frame and buttress" fixation strategy based on quadrilateral fracture typing for acetabular quadrilateral fracture open reduction internal fixation provides strong fixation, satisfactory reduction quality, and facilitates joint function recovery after operation.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has drawn much attention in the medical field. Through various treatment approaches including protein replacement therapies, gene editing, and cell engineering, mRNA is becoming a potential therapeutic strategy for cancers. However, delivery of mRNA into targeted organs and cells can be challenging due to the unstable nature of its naked form and the low cellular uptake. Therefore, in addition to mRNA modification, efforts have been devoted to developing nanoparticles for mRNA delivery. In this review, we introduce four categories of nanoparticle platform systems: lipid, polymer, lipid-polymer hybrid, and protein/peptide-mediated nanoparticles, together with their roles in facilitating mRNA-based cancer immunotherapies. We also highlight promising treatment regimens and their clinical translation.

Objective :
To investigate the influences of circ_WBSCR17 on high glucose-induced fibrosis and inflammation in human mesangial cells by regulating the miR-30a-5p /JAK1 axis.
Methods :
Human mesangial cells HMCL were grouped into : NG group (5.5 mmol / L glucose-treated HMCL cells) ,HG group (30 mmol / L glucose- treated cells) ,si-NC group (30 mmol / L glucose + transfected with si-NC) ,si-circ_WBSCR17 group (30 mmol / L glucose + transfected with si-circ _ WBSCR17 ) ,si-circ _ WBSCR17 + inhibitor-NC group ( 30 mmol / L glucose + co-transfected with si-circ_WBSCR17 and inhibitor-NC) ,and si-circ_WBSCR17 + miR-30a-5p inhibitor group (30 mmol / L glucose + co-transfected with si-circ_WBSCR17 and miR-30a-5p inhibitor) ; RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expression of circ_WBSCR17 and miR-30a-5p in cells ; CCK-8 assay was performed to detect cell prolifer- ation ; flow cytometry was performed to detect apoptosis ; ELISA was performed to detect the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) ,interleukin (IL) -6 and IL-8 ; Western blot was performed to detect the expression of JAK1,proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA) ,Bax,transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF-β1 ) ,fibronectin (FN) ,collagen IV,and α-smooth muscle actin ( α-SMA) ; distribution of WBSCR17 was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) ; dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment was performed to verify the relationship between circ _ WBSCR17 and miR-30a-5p,miR-30a-5p and JAK1,respectively.
Results :
Compared with the NG group,the HMCL cell proliferation ability of the HG group decreased,the levels of TNF-α , IL-6 and IL-8,the pro- tein expressions of p-JAK1 /JAK1,p-STAT1 / STAT1,p-STAT3 / STAT3,TGF-β1,FN,collagenIV and α-SMA,and the apoptosis ability increased (P<0. 05) ; compared with HG group and si-NC group,the expression of miR-30a- 5p,OD450 value and PCNA expression in HMCL cells of si-circ_WBSCR17 group increased,the levels of TNF-α , IL- 6 and IL-8,the expressions of circ_WBSCR17,p-JAK1 /JAK1,p-STAT1 / STAT1,p-STAT3 / STAT3,Bax,TGF-β1, FN,collagenIV and α-SMA decreased ( P <0. 05 ) ; inhibition of miR-30a-5p attenuated the promoting effect of knockdown of circ_WBSCR17 on proliferation of HMCL cells,and enhanced apoptosis,cellular fibrosis and inflammatory responses ; FISH experiment confirmed that WBSCR17 was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm ; dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed that circ_WBSCR17,JAK1 and miR-30a-5p had a targeted regulatory rela- tionship.
Conclusion
Knockdown of circ_WBSCR17 can reduce high glucose-induced fibrosis and inflammation in human mesangial cells by regulating the miR-30a-5p /JAK1 axis.

Gaming addiction, as a main manifestation of internet addiction, is characterized by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviors. Gaming behaviors are common among adolescents and can result in marked distress or significant impairment in personal, family, social or other important areas of functioning. Recent research on health hazards of gaming addiction is relatively scattered. This article reviews the harm of adolescent game addiction to physical and mental health.
