OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of suture augmentation (SA) in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: A comprehensive review of recent literature about SA in ACL reconstruction at home and abroad was conducted. The efficacy of SA in ACL reconstruction was evaluated by examining the definition, biomechanics, and histological studies of SA, along with its clinical application status in ACL reconstruction. RESULTS: SA demonstrates significant advantages in enhancing the biomechanical stability of ACL grafts, reducing the risk of re-rupture, and accelerating postoperative recovery. Specifically, SA improves graft stiffness, ultimate failure strength, and cyclic stability, thereby diminishing the risk of early postoperative failure and joint instability. Histologically, it fosters remodeling and tendon-bone integration through early load-sharing mechanisms; however, stress shielding may interfere with natural remodeling processes, warranting further attention. Clinically, SA reduces graft failure rates and the need for revision surgeries, markedly improving knee joint stability and functional recovery in young patients. Nevertheless, its impact on graft maturation and potential complications remains controversial. CONCLUSION Despite the many advantages of SA in ACL reconstruction, future endeavors should focus on optimizing tensioning techniques, developing bioactive materials, and conducting large-scale randomized controlled trials to further elucidate its clinical value and scope of applicability, providing a more reliable solution for ACL reconstruction.

Objective:To analyze DNA methylation sites related to fibrosis and autophagy in human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2 cells) induced by sodium arsenite (NaAsO 2), and to screen specific methylation genes related to fibrosis and autophagy. Methods:Genome-wide DNA detection was performed using Illumina Infinium Methylation EPIC BeadChips (850K methylation chip) to derive differential methylation sites in LX-2 cells (control group) and the fibrosis and autophagy models of LX-2 cells induced by NaAsO 2(low, medium and high dose groups: the final concentrations were 5, 10, 15 μmol/L NaAsO 2, respectively, after 48 h intervention). Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway enrichment analysis were used to explore gene function. Results:The model of cell fibrosis and autophagy was established successfully in high dose group. The results of 850K methylation chip detection showed that there were 25 817 significant different methylation sites between the high dose group and the control group, including 12 083 hypermethylation sites and 13 734 hypomethylation sites. GO function enrichment analysis showed that the molecular functions of differentially methylated genes mainly included protein binding, ion binding, catalytic activity, enzyme binding. KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis showed that the pathways involved in differentially methylated genes mainly included metabolic pathway, cancer pathway, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway, endocytosis, and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. In the promoter region, 11 and 29 differentially methylated genes related to fibrosis and autophagy were screened, respectively.Conclusions:A large number of differential methylation sites exist in the process of NaAsO 2 induced fibrosis and autophagy of LX-2 cells. Specific methylation genes related to fibrosis and autophagy are screened out.

Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a common carcinogen that exists in the environment. Liver, as the main target organ of arsenic metabolism, long-term exposure to iAs can ultimately lead to carcinogenesis through two stages: liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Ferroptosis is a type of programmed cell death caused by the accumulation of iron dependent lipid peroxides that affects the normal function of mitochondria. It has been found that ferroptosis occurs during liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis caused by iAs has been a global health problem for a long time, but so far there is no effective treatment. The discovery of ferroptosis provides a new way to solve this problem. Therefore, this article will review the research progress of the mechanism of liver injury caused by iAs and ferroptosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of preoperative pulmonary artery pressure on perioperative prognosis of the recipients with end-stage heart failure undergoing heart transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 105 recipients receiving heart transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was used as the diagnostic criterion. The optimal cut-off value of mPAP for predicting perioperative prognosis of heart transplant recipients was determined. According to the optimal cut-off value of mPAP, all recipients were divided into the low mPAP group (n=66) and high mPAP group (n=39). Intraoperative indexes (cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic occlusion time, assisted circulation time and cold ischemia time of donor heart) and postoperative indexes [intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support rate, IABP support time, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support rate, ECMO support time, mechanical ventilation time, length of ICU stay, incidence of moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation and perioperative mortality rate] were compared between the low and high mPAP groups. The prognosis of the two groups was compared. Results The optimal cut-off value of mPAP in predicting clinical prognosis of heart transplant recipients was 30.5 mmHg. In the high mPAP group, the ECMO support rate and perioperative mortality rate were higher than those in the low mPAP group (both P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic occlusion time, assisted circulation time, cold ischemia time of donor heart, IABP support rate, IABP support time, ECMO support time, mechanical ventilation time, length of ICU stay and incidence of moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation between two groups (all P > 0.05). No significant differences were noted in the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4- survival rates between two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions Preoperative mPAP in patients with end-stage heart failure is intimately correlated with perioperative prognosis of heart transplant recipients. The optimal cut-off value of mPAP in predicting perioperative prognosis of heart transplant recipients is 30.5 mmHg. In the high mPAP group, perioperative ECMO support rate and perioperative mortality rate are high, which do not affect the medium and long-term prognosis of the recipients undergoing heart transplantation.
