Objective:To explore the early clinical effect of arthroplasty with rotating hinge knee prosthesis in the treatment of severe knee deformity.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 55 patients who underwent primary rotating hinge knee arthroplasty at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from January 2017 to October 2023, including 19 male patients and 36 female patients, with an average age of 60.9±9.0 years (ranging from 31 to 74 years). The four main indications were end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis (valgus/varus>20°, 16 cases), post-traumatic joint deformity (15 cases), severe joint ligament instability (12 cases), and neuromuscular or immune diseases (12 cases). The patients were divided into two age groups: ≥60 years old group (32 cases) and <60 years old group (23 cases). Various pre-operative and post-operative data, including knee society score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), forgotten joint score (FJS), degree of force line offset and post-operative complications, were collected and compared.Results:All the 55 cases successfully underwent the operation. The operation time was 102.3±15.8 min. The intraoperative blood loss was 63±23.7 ml. The follow-up time was 37.2±7.9 months. KSS clinical score increased from 27.5(12, 45) before surgery to 90.5(85, 95) after surgery ( P<0.001) and the mean score of KSS function increased from 50.4(45, 60) before surgery to 84.3(85, 95) after surgery ( P<0.001), both with significant difference ( P<0.05). Similarly, the average postoperative ROM improved from 97.2°±34.4° to 120.1°±10.9°with significant difference ( P<0.05). The postoperative FJS was 81.0±6.6. Up to the last follow-up, the implant survival rate was 98%[95% CI(90.4%, 99.6%)]. For the all four groups of end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic joint deformity, severe joint ligament instability and neuromuscular or immune diseases, both the KSS score and the ROM of the knee joint were significantly improved. There was no significant difference in neither the KSS score or the ROM of the knee joint between the ≥60 years old group and the <60 years old group ( P>0.05). The incidence of complications was 24% (13/55). The complication rates for patients with end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic joint deformity, severe joint ligament instability and neuromuscular or immune diseases were 12.5% (2/16), 20% (3/15), 25% (3/12), and 41.7% (5/12) respectively, without significant difference. The incidence of complications in elderly patients (85%, 11/13) was much higher than that in younger patients (5%, 2/42),with significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis (valgus or varus >20°), post-traumatic joint deformity, severe joint ligament instability and neuromuscular or immune diseases, the rotating hinge knee can provide good clinical improvement effects. For neuromuscular or immune diseases, the incidence of complications was relatively high. The therapeutic effect of patients over 60 years old showed no significant difference in the early postoperative efficacy compared with younger patients, but the complications of elderly patients were much higher than those of younger patients.

As people’s attention to health continues to increase, the market demand for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is growing steadily. The quality and safety of Chinese medicinal materials have attracted unprecedented social attention. In particular, the issue of exogenous harmful residue pollution in TCM has become a hot topic of concern for both regulatory authorities and society. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition further refines the detection methods and limit standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM. This not only reflects China’s high-level emphasis on the quality and safety of TCM but also demonstrates the continuous progress made by China in the field of TCM safety supervision. Basis on this study, by systematically reviewing the development history of the detection standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM and analyzing the revisions and updates of these detection standards in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition, deeply explores the key points of the changes in the monitoring standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition. Moreover, it interprets the future development directions of the detection of exogenous residues in TCM, aiming to provide a reference for the formulation of TCM safety supervision policies.

Objective : To investigate the awareness of nutritional health knowledge regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into nutrition and health education among unpaid blood donors. Methods: The regular unpaid blood donors were sampled using a convenient sampling method from Zhoushan Central Blood Station from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. The nutritional health knowledge was investigated using the Chinese Nutrition Health Knowledge Questionnaire for Adults compiled by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the awareness and source of nutritional health knowledge was descriptively analyzed. Results: Totally 526 questionnaires were allocated, and 502 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.44%. The respondents included 240 men (47.81%) and 262 women (52.19%), and included 343 individuals at ages of 18 to 44 years (68.33%), and 159 individuals at ages of 45 years and older (31.67%). The overall awareness of nutritional health knowledge was 14.54% among regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City, and a higher awareness was seen among female regular unpaid blood donors (17.56%) than among males (11.25%) (P<0.05), while the awareness of nutritional health knowledge was significantly higher among respondents at ages of 18 to 44 years than among those at ages of 45 years and older (16.91% vs. 9.43%, P<0.05). The awareness of nutritional health knowledge was significantly higher among respondents with an educational level of junior college and above than among those with an educational level of high school/technical secondary school/technical school (17.24% vs. 12.22%, P<0.05), and the awareness was significantly higher among respondents with healthcare-related occupations than among those with other occupations (16.44% vs. 14.22%, P<0.05). Wechat, Weibo, Tik Tok and Kuaishou were main routes to obtain nutritional health knowledge (83.86%). Conclusions The awareness of nutritional health knowledge is low among regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City. Men, middle-aged and elderly residents and residents with a low educational level are targets that should be given a high priority for nutritional health education, and new media may be fully utilized for nutritional health education.

Non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP), a biological means to block the transmission of HIV, is recommended by European countries, USA and WHO to use in HIV high-risk groups, but its utilization rate is still very low. The information-motivation-behavioral skills model (IMB) can accurately explain the prevalence and change of health behaviors. Based on this model, this paper summarizes the progress in research of the influencing factors for nPEP use to provide a basis for further research to promote the use of nPEP.

Objective To investigate the effects of parenteral nutrition with ω-3 fatty acids on nutrition,inflammatory response,immunity and prognosis in criticallyill cancer patients.Methods 60 critically ill cancer patients were randomly divided into study group and the control group,30 cases each.All Patients were given isonitrogen and isocalorie enteral and parenteral nutrition for 2 weeks,which added ω-3 fatty acids in the study group by parenteral nutrition.The indicators of nutrition,inflammation,immune function were detected weekly.prognostic indicators (mortality,intensive care unit [ICU] length of stay,infectious complications) were compared.Results The indicators of nutrition,inflammatory reaction and immune function of study group were significantly improved than control group,and length of stay in ICU of study group was shorter than control group.There were less mortality and morbidity of infection complications in the study group compared with control group,but difference were not significant (P =0.13 and P=0.165).Conclusion ω-3 fatty acids supplementation of parenteral nutrition in critically ill cancer patients can improve nutritional status and immune function,reduce inflammatory response,shorten ICU length of stay,but not significantly improve ICU mortality and reduce infectious complications.

OBJECTIVETo define the optimal development time of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) venography in cervical cancer patients and establish 3D CT-based digital pelvic model of the patients.

METHODSThirty patients with cervical cancer stratified by FIGO surgical staging underwent micro-CT scanning of the arterial phase and the venous phase with a delay time of 70, 90 and 120 s. The images were interpreted independently by two experienced radiologists to define the optimal development time in venous phase and establish the imaging diagnosis. Based on the pelvic CT scan data, we segmented the images using the abdominal medical image-3D visualization system followed by 3D image reconstruction to establish the 3D digital pelvic model using FreeForm Modeling System to modify the reconstructed images.

RESULTSThe optimal images were obtained by scanning with a 90-sec delay time. Micro-CT was not sensitive to IB1 phase or earlier phases (1/5), but efficient in advanced stages (≥IB2 phase). In our cases, 25 were diagnosed by micro-CT with a diagnostic accuracy of 64%. Based on these CT data, the pelvic 3D model covering the main organs, vessels, cervical neoplasm, and supplying vessels of the tumor in the pelvic cavity were successfully reconstructed to allow spatial observations of the uterus and the neighboring organs.

CONCLUSIONThe 3D digital pelvic model reconstructed provides a means for staging cervical cancer and facilitates further surgical simulation studies.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a member of FGF family. It has been demonstrated that FGF21 is an independent, safe and effective regulator of blood glucose levels in vivo. In order to improve the activity of FGF21, we exchanged the beta10-beta12 domain of the human FGF21 with that of the mouse FGF21 to construct a novel FGF21 gene (named hmFGF21), and then subcloned hmFGF21 gene into the SUMO expression vector to create pSUMO-hmFGF21 and transformed it into E. coli Rosetta for expression of the fusion protein SUMO-hmFGF21. Both in vitro and in vivo glucose regulation activity of hmFGF21 was evaluated. The SDS-PAGE result showed that compared with wild-type hFGF21, the soluble expression of hmFGF21 increased about 2-fold. HmFGF21 was more potent in stimulation of glucose uptake in HepG2 cells in vitro. The results of anti-diabetic effect on db/db mice demonstrated that hmFGF21 had better efficacy on controlling the blood glucose of the db/db diabetic animals than wild-type hFGF21. These results suggest that the biological properties of FGF21 are significantly improved by optimization.
