Objective To investigate the correlation between the anterior ethmoidal artery(AEA)and anatomical variations of the anterior cranial base,and to analyze the predictive factors for AEA suspension.Methods Sinus CT imaging data of 159 patients undergoing endoscopic sinus sur-gery(ESS)were retrospectively analyzed.Mimics 21.0 software was utilized for three-dimensional reconstruction,measuring parameters of AEA and anterior cranial base anatomy and performing classi-fication.Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses were used to evaluate the correlations among vari-ous anatomical parameters and their classifications.Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was performed to screen for independentpredictive factors of AEA suspension.Results The rates of AEA suspension differed significantly across different Keros classifications(P＜0.001),with an increase rate as the Keros classification level increased(P＜0.001).The transverse diameter,height and vol-ume of supraorbital ethmoid cells(SOEC),olfactory fossa depth,lateral lamella of the cribriform plate(LLCP)length and frontal sinus pneumatization classification grade were positively correlated with the distance from AEA to the cranial base(P＜0.05).Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of SOEC(OR=4.178,95％CI,2.517 to 6.935,P＜0.001),in-creased olfactory fossa depth(OR=1.433,95％CI,1.197 to 1.715,P＜0.001),and higher frontal sinus pneumatization classification grade(OR=1.621,95％CI,1.121 to 2.345,P=0.01)were independent predictive factors for AEA suspension.Conclusion Detailed preoperative CT imaging assessment,especially the analysis of SOEC,olfactory fossa depth and frontal sinus pneumatization classification,aids in accurately assessing the anatomical position of AEA,thereby effectively reduc-ing the risk of AEA injury,and improving the safety and success rate of surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of arthroscopic combined fixation of acromioclavicular joint in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation.Methods:A retrospective controlled analysis was conducted on 40 patients with acute dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint were treated in Qinhuangdao First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from February 2021 to December 2023. There were 30 males and 10 females, aged from 22 to 54 years, with an average age of (40.55±7.75) years. The patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method used. The observation group included 19 patients who were treated with Tightrope and suture to reconstruct the coracoclavicular ligament and acromioclavicular ligament, while the control group included 21 patients who were treated with Tightrope to reconstruct the coracoclavicular ligament only. All patients were followed up postoperatively, and their preoperative and postoperative data were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, Constant score and coracoclavicular distance values of the two groups of patients before surgery and one year after surgery were recorded and compared. The changes of the internal fixation devices were observed. The measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the t-test was used for comparison between groups, skewed continuous data were presented as [ M( Q1, Q3)], and intergroup comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test; the count data were expressed as cases and percentages [ n(%)], and the chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the general information (gender, age, affected side, time from injury to operation) between the two groups ( P>0.05). The last follow-up showed that two patients in the control group had early failure of the implant, one of whom had an infection after surgery, and one of whom had obvious displacement of the Tightrope early on. All patients in the observation group were healed by first intention, without any postoperative early complications such as wound infection, early failure of internal fixation, etc. There was no statistically significant difference in the VAS score between the two groups ( P>0.05); the Constant score 85(84, 89) of the observation group was higher than that of the control group 82(80, 85), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); the VAS score and Constant score of both groups after surgery were significantly improved compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05). One year after operation the coracoclavicular distance was 8.5(8.0-8.8) mm in observation group, and 10.3(9.7, 10.6) mm in control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The method of reconstructing the coracoclavicular ligament and acromioclavicular ligament complex fixation with Tightrope and suture using arthroscopy is reliable and has fewer postoperative complications. It is a better method than using Tightrope alone to fix the coracoclavicular ligament for the treatment of acute Rockwood Ⅲ to Ⅴ type acromioclavicular dislocation.

"State-target medicine" is a traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） diagnosis and treatment theoretical system proposed by Academician Tong Xiaolin based on the current development of modern medicine. The active stage of gastric ulcer， as a precancerous state of gastric cancer， has a great impact on people's health. Prof. ZHOU Xuewen， a master of TCM， innovatively put forward the theory of "toxicity-heat" etiology for the active stage of gastric ulcer， which plays an important guiding role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. The article took the theoretical system of "state-target medicine" as the framework to explain the rationale， method， formula， and medicine of Prof. ZHOU Xuewen， who applied the Xiaoyong Kuidekang based on the "toxicity-heat" theory to treat the gastric ulcer in the active stage. The Chinese medical name of gastric ulcer， "gastric carbuncle"， was established， and it was believed that gastric ulcer is born due to "toxicity" and is based on "toxicity and heat". In the course of the disease， "toxicity"， "heat"， "deficiency"， and "stasis" coexisted， and its pathogenesis was divided into three phases， namely， toxicity-heat accumulation phase， toxicity-heat affecting the health phase， and weakened body resistance and strengthened toxicity phase. According to the positioning of gastric ulcer as an "internal carbuncle"， Prof. ZHOU Xuewen proposed the treatment of gastric ulcer in the active stage with "carbuncle theory" and introduced the surgical methods of "elimination"， "support"， and "tonifying" into the treatment of gastric ulcer in the active stage. Prof. ZHOU Xuewen took "clearing heat and removing toxins， eliminating carbuncle and generating muscle" as the basic treatment of the disease. For different stages of the disease， Prof. ZHOU Xuewen emphasized the use of the methods of clearing heat and removing toxins， supporting rot and muscle growth， and strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach and created the representative formula for the treatment of gastric ulcer in the active stage with "carbuncle theory"， namely "Xiaoyong Kuidekang"， which could regulate state and targets.

Sensory conflict impacts postural control, yet its effect on cortico-muscular interaction remains underexplored. We aimed to investigate sensory conflict's influence on the cortico-muscular network and postural stability. We used a rotating platform and virtual reality to present subjects with congruent and incongruent sensory input, recorded EEG (electroencephalogram) and EMG (electromyogram) data, and constructed a directed connectivity network. The results suggest that, compared to sensory congruence, during sensory conflict: (1) connectivity among the sensorimotor, visual, and posterior parietal cortex generally decreases, (2) cortical control over the muscles is weakened, (3) feedback from muscles to the cortex is strengthened, and (4) the range of body sway increases and its complexity decreases. These results underline the intricate effects of sensory conflict on cortico-muscular networks. During the sensory conflict, the brain adaptively decreases the integration of conflicting information. Without this integrated information, cortical control over muscles may be lessened, whereas the muscle feedback may be enhanced in compensation.
