Among them, 32 cases, twenty-four men, eight women, aged 34±6.2 years (range 24-68 years), were treated with percutaneous screw fixation guided by O-arm X wire instrument. According to Tile classification, there were 3 cases of C1.1 type, 8 cases of C1.2 type and 21case of C1.3 type. According to the Denis classification of sacral fractures, 17 cases were in zone I, and 8 cases in zone II. Ten patients, eight males and two females, aged 36±5.2 years (range 19-62 years) were treated by percutaneous screw fixation assisted by orthopedic robot. According to Tile classification, there were 1 case of C1.1 type, 2 cases of C1.2 type and 7 cases of C1.3 type. According to the Denis classification of sacral fractures, there were 5cases in zone I, 2 cases in zone II. For those who got obviously displaced pelvic fractures, Starr frames were used and then internal fixation was used to fix pelvic anterior ring and posterior ring injury respectively. Based on the times of needle adjustments, intraoperative fluoroscopy time, good screw position and incidence of complications two groups were statistically analysed. Matta score was employed to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction, while the Majeed score was employed to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Through the two groups of cases guide needle adjustment times, intraoperative fluoroscopy time, screw position excellent and good rate and the incidence of complications, which were statistically analyzed.Results:All screw positions were confirmed by CT scan after operation. The average time required for each screw placement of the O-arm group was 7.36±2.63 s, of the robot group was 6.80±3.20 s, so difference was not statistically significant ( P<0.05). An average of screw adjustments per one screw was 1.56±0.02 times by O-arm, and by the robot group was 0.34±0.06 times, so differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P>0.05). The average operating time of O-arm group was 53.86±15.06 min, while the robot group was 52.52±15.14 min, so differences between the two groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Position distribution of screw placement in two groups, all screws in O-arm group of position evaluations were excellent, excellent rate was 100%, all screw position evaluations by robot were excellent, excellent rate was 100%, so difference in screw distribution between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). All cases were followed up for 6-12 months. Fracture healing time: 34.6±8.6 weeks for O-arm group, 33.4±9.4 weeks for robot group. Comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Majeed score of O-arm group was 55-87, including Excellence of 17 cases, goodness of 9, fairness of 6. The rate of excellence and goodness was 81.2%, while robot group was 76-95, and that were excellent 7 cases,1 good, and the excellent and good rate was 80%, there was no significant difference between Matta and Majeed score between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of complications between the two groups were no statistically significant ( P>0.05).

Objective To construct a cardiovascular chip model for evaluating the damage of vascular glycocalyx induced by four marine toxins: okadaic acid (OA), conotoxin (CTX), tetrodotoxin (TTX) and gymnodimine (GYM), and explore the protective effect of triptolide on toxin-induced injury. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) were inoculated into a three-channel microfluidic chip. CCK-8 method and immunofluorescence staining were used to analyze the damage of cell viability and glycocalyx tissue induced by low, middle and high concentrations of marine toxin, as well as the protective effect of triptolide on toxin-induced injury. Results The cells in the cardiovascular chip grew well and had structurally intact glycocalyx. Compared with the control group, the activity of HUVEC cells were inhibited in group of the medium and high concentration of OA and high concentration of GYM (P<0.05). The activity of cells had not been inhibited by CTX and TTX significantly , but all the four toxins caused serious damage to the glycocalyx tissue (P<0.01). After pre-protection with triptolide, the toxicity of the four toxins to HUVEC cells and the damage rate of glycocalyx decreased significantly. Conclusion The four marine biotoxins could damage the activity and glycocalyx of HUVEC cells in a dose-dependent manner, while triptolide has a protective effect on HUVEC cells injured by toxin.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of local visceral leishmaniasis in Beijing Municipality from 2021 to 2023, so as to provide insights into formulation of the visceral leishmaniasis control strategy. Methods Epidemiological data of visceral leishmaniasis cases reported in Beijing Municipality from 2021 to 2023 were collected from the National Health Informatization Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and the epidemiological characteristics of local visceral leishmaniasis cases were analyzed using a descriptive epidemiological method. In November 2021 and 2023, 50 to 100 permanent residents were voluntarily selected within a 100 meter radius of sites where patients lived or acquired Leishmania infections, and venous blood was sampled for anti-Leishmania antibody testing. Venous blood was sampled from dogs for anti-Leishmania antibody testing in natural villages where patients lived or acquired Leishmania infections, or in districts where Leishmania infected dogs were reported. In addition, sandflies were captured with CO2 mosquito traps and fine mesh nets in natural villages where patients lived or acquired Leishmania infections from May to September, 2021 and 2023, for sandfly species identification. Results A total of 4 local visceral leishmaniasis cases were reported in Beijing Municipality from 2021 to 2023, with ages of 2 to 77 years, and acquiring Leishmania infections in Mentougou District (2 cases), Changping District (1 case), and Yanqing District (1 case). The anti-Leishmania antibody testing was all negative in 73 human blood samples and the sero-prevalence of anti-Leishmania antibody was 25.00% in 36 venous blood samples from domestic dogs in 2021, with a total of 4 520 Phlebotomus chinensis captured. The sero-prevalence of anti-Leishmania antibody was 0.51% in 198 human blood samples and 13.58% in 243 venous blood samples from domestic dogs in 2023, with 16.10%, 25.00%, 17.78% and 3.13% sero-prevalence in dogs sampled from Mentougou District, Changping District, Yanqing District and Haidian District, respectively (P = 0.011), while a total of 1 712 Ph. chinensis were captured, including 1 421 female sandflies (86.54%). Conclusions The prevalence of local visceral leishmaniasis was low in Beijing Municipality from 2021 to 2023; however, there is a risk of further spread in the epidemic foci. Intensified visceral leishmaniasis surveillance and control is recommended.

The intestine is the main site of oral drug absorption, and the epithelial cells of the intestine contain villi and microvilli, which promote secretion, cell adhesion, and absorption by increasing surface area and other factors. Traditional two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) cell culture models and animal models have played an important role in studying drug absorption, but their application is limited due to the lack of sufficient predictability of human pharmacokinetics or ethical issues, etc. Therefore, mimicking the core structure and key functions of the human intestine based on in vitro live cells has been the focus of research on constructing a microfluidic chip-based intestinal model. The model is a microfluidic chip bionic system that simulates the complex microstructure, microenvironment, and physiological functions of the human intestine using microfabrication technology. Compared with 2D cell culture and animal experiments, the intestinal microarray model can effectively simulate the human in vivo environment and is more specific in drug screening. The research progress and applications in disease modeling, drug absorption and transport of intestinal microarray models and intestine-related multi-organ coupled microarray models at home and abroad were reviewed in this paper. The current challenges of intestinal chip simulating intestinal homeostasis and diseases were summarized,in order to provide reference for the further establishment of a more reliable in vitro intestinal chip model.
