OBJECTIVE To analyze the manager post competency evaluation scale in central sterile supply depart-ment based on the iceberg model and test its reliability and validity.METHODS A pool of items was constructed based on literature research and semi-structured interviews.The scale was further refined through expert meetings and a pilot survey.A convenience sampling method was used to select 362 managers from central sterile supply de-partments in medical institutions at various levels in Hunan Province in Jan.2024 as survey subjects.Question-naires were administered,and the reliability and validity of the scale were tested.RESULTS The final version of the scale encompassed five dimensions:personal traits,management abilities,professional abilities,other abili-ties,professional knowledge and skills,with a total of 39 items.The item-level validity coefficients of the scale ranged from 0.83 to 1.00,and the content validity index was 0.93.Exploratory factor analysis revealed a Bartlett's test value of 4 723.828(P＜0.001),a KMO test coefficient of 0.937 and a cumulative variance explanation rate of 74.34％for the five common factors.Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the root mean square error of approximation(RSEMA)was＜0.08,the root mean square residual(RMR)was＜0.05,and both the incre-mental fit index(IFI)and comparative fit index(CFI)were＞0.9.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.977,the split-half reliability was 0.955,and the test-retest reliability was 0.952.CONCLUSIONS The manager post competency evaluation scale in central sterile supply departments developed in this study demonstrates rela-tively good reliability and validity.It can effectively evaluate manager post competency and provide references for improving related evaluation systems and optimizing training programs.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological features and potential clinical value of marginal zone lym-phoma(MZL)derived from T-bet positive memory B cell.Methods Clinical data of 67 cases of MZL were collected.Hematoxylin-eosin,immunohistochemistry,and multiple immunofluorescence stains,B cell receptor high throughput sequencing technology were used to study the histology,immunophenotype,and immunoglobulin heavy chain variable gene(IGHV)repertoire.Results T-bet was expressed in some MZL patients(34/67,50.75％),which was correla-ted with clinicopathological characteristics such as gender,clinical stage,and Ki67 proliferation index(P＜0.05),and also the progression-free survival was poor(P=0.012 2).T-bet positivity was a risk factor affecting the progres-sion of MZL.Microscopically,T-bet positive MZL frequently presented T-bet positive tumor B cells surrounded follicu-lar germinal center,"MALT ball"-type lymphoepithelial lesions,and IgG positive neoplastic plasma cells(P＜0.05).T-bet had no biased influence on the VH gene usage(P＞0.05).The common VH families were IGHV4 and IGHV3,and the segments were IGHV4-34 and IGHV3-30.The positivity of T-bet was associated with somatic hypermutation(SHM)state(P=0.014 9).The SHM was mainly in the range of 2％-4.9％in T-bet positive MZL,while in T-bet negative MZL the SHM was mostly greater than 5％.The VH gene usage was not correlated with the clinicopathological features of patients(P＞0.05).IGHV4 was correlated with progression-free survival in T-bet positive MZL(P=0.038 2).Conclusion The expression of T-bet in MZL is closely related to the clinicopathological features such as histology,plasma cell immunophenotype and IGHV gene repertoire,and the prognosis of patients is poor,which may be a potential molecular marker affecting the progression of MZL.

Objective To evaluate the value of intrathecal synthetic related markers in patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI),Alzheimer's disease(AD),and other types of dementia.Methods Retrospec-tively collect the clinical data of 577 patients diagnosed with MCI(MCI group,178 cases),AD(AD group,131 cases),and other types of dementia(other types group,268 cases)from June 2019 to July 2023 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital,Capital Medical University.Oligoclonal zone electrophoresis(OCB)and 24 h intrathecal pro-tein synthesis rate(ISR)of each group were investigated,and the difference of different indexes among the groups was compared to evaluate the value of related indexes in the differential diagnosis of different diseases.Results Compared with AD group and other groups,AD group had a higher proportion of females,more patients were＞50-70 years old,and the incidence of abnormal lipid metabolism was higher,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in OB(S),cerebrospinal fluid albumin,serum albumin and cerebrospinal flu-id IgG in different disease groups(P＜0.05).IgG index and ISR in patients with positive SOB(CSF)were higher than those in negative and weakly positive patients,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).IgG index was positively correlated with ISR(r=0.878,P＜0.001).Conclusion Intrathecal synthetic mark-ers such as IgG index,SOB(CSF)and 24 h ISR have synergistic effects in the diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction and various dementias,which can be collectively utilized in the diagnosis of diseases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic surgery for the treatment of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) in athletes.Methods:A total of 18 FAI athletes (athlete group) who underwent hip arthroscopy in the Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from April 2014 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 12 males and 6 females, aged 20.44±3.45 years (range, 15-27 years). According to gender, age, body mass index and follow-up time, 36 non-athlete FAI patients (non-athlete group) were matched at a ratio of 1∶2 by propensity score matching method. There were 18 males and 18 females, aged 20.81±4.68 years (range 14-31 years). The hip pain visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris hip score (mHHS), hip outcome score-activity of daily living scale (HOS-ADL) and hip outcome score-sports scale (HOS-SS) scores were compared between the two groups before and after surgery. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were also compared between the two groups.Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 33.56±19.20 months (range, 24-77 months). The VAS score at the last follow-up decreased from 6.22±1.52 points before surgery to 1.28±1.67 points in the athletes group, and decreased from 6.28±1.37 points before surgery to 1.67±1.69 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The mHHS score at the last follow-up increased from 65.53±12.90 points before surgery to 92.28±13.59 points in the athletes group, and increased from 61.01±11.96 points before surgery to 86.82±11.98 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-ADL score at the last follow-up increased from 72.77±18.86 points before surgery to 94.00±11.36 points in the athletes group, and increased from 70.35±13.12 points before surgery to 90.78±9.36 points in non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-SS score at the last follow-up increased from 49.77±22.93 points before surgery to 87.28±17.62 points in the athletes group, and increased from 44.08±19.66 before surgery to 72.57±20.16 in the non-athletes group. The HOS-SS scores in the athletes group at the last follow-up were higher than those in the non-athletes group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, 61% (11/18) in the athletes group achieved MCID in HOS-ADL after surgery, which was lower than the non-athletes group's 81% (31/36), with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=4.339, P=0.037). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy in the treatment of FAI in athletes can achieve satisfactory pain relief and motor function.

Objective To explore the early clinical outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy(PAO) in treating developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH) in athletes.Methods A retrospective study was con-ducted on four active or retired athletes(two left and three right hips) diagnosed as DDH and undergo-ing PAO surgery at the Department of Sports Medicine of Peking University Third Hospital between January 2022 and October 2023.Among them,three received unilateral hip surgeries,while the rest one underwent bilateral surgery.The four patients had an average age of 27.25±4.97 years and a body mass index(BMI) of 23.91±2.07 kg/m2.Then their pre-and post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores,modified Harris hip score(mHHS),hip outcome score activity of daily living(HOS-ADL) scores,and hip outcome score-sports scale(HOS-SS) scores were recorded and compared.Re-sults All patients went through the surgery successfully and completed the follow-up.Three of them were followed for 12 months,and the rest one for 8 months.After the operation,their average scores of mHHS,VAS,HOS-ADL and HOS-SS were 62.82±13.92,6.00±2.74,62.60±13.13 and 53.60±13.46,respectively,significantly higher than those before the operation,95.16±3.17,1.60±0.89,94.40±5.50,and 85.20±22.43 (P<0.05).Among the three active athletes,two patients (three hips) returned to competitive sports,with an average return-to-sport time of 9.7 months.Con-clusion PAO demonstrates good early clinical outcomes in treating DDH in athletes.

Radiation-induced lung injury （RILI）， one of the common complications caused by radiotherapy， encompasses two phases： an early phase known as radiation pneumonitis （RP） and a late phase called radiation fibrosis （RF）， threatening the life and life quality of patients， with poor prognosis. Accumulating evidence has shown that the occurrence of RILI is related to a variety of cytokines and signaling pathways. This paper summarized the research on the effects of Chinese medicine on RILI from the perspective of cytokines and signaling pathways. Cytokines include transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁）， interleukins （ILs）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， platelet-derived growth factor （PDGF）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， and high mobility group box-1 （HMGB1）. Related signaling pathways are phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway， Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway， Notch1/Jagged1 signaling pathway， and nuclear factor-E₂-related factor2/antioxidant response element （Nrf2/ARE） signaling pathway. Cytokines may interfere with RILI progression by initiating various downstream signaling pathways， such as TGF-β₁/Smads signaling pathway， TGF-β₁/VEGF signaling pathway， TNF-α/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway， and HMGB1/Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4） signaling pathway. In recent years， many scholars have attempted to delay RILI progression by down-regulating the expression of cytokines， antagonizing the effect of cytokines or regulating signaling pathways. It has been verified that many Chinese medicines， Chinese medicine monomers， and compound Chinese medicine prescriptions can inhibit the release of some cytokines or regulate some signaling pathways to reduce the incidence/severity of RILI， with satisfactory therapeutic effects， which have attracted the interest of scholars.

Femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition characterized by abnormal anatomical structures of the femoral head and/or acetabulum, leading to impingement between the proximal femur and the rim of the acetabulum during hip movement. This impingement causes damage to the acetabular cartilage, labrum, chronic hip pain, and limited range of motion. The diagnosis of this condition requires evaluation based on symptoms, physical signs, and imaging examinations. Among these, imaging plays a crucial role in assessing the pathology of FAI. In recent years, imaging techniques have contributed to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying FAI and the development of hip-preserving surgeries. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reference for the imaging-related diagnosis and measurement of FAI. X-ray films include pelvic anteroposterior view, false-profile view and 45°Dunn view. Doctors can understand the anatomical morphology of the femur and acetabulum by measuring relevant indicators in the X-ray films. For example, the α Angle of the femur >50°-60 ° in the pelvic anteroposterior view can indicate CAM-type FAI. However, the crisscross sign, posterior wall sign and LCE Angle >40° suggest Pincer type FAI. The ACE Angle, which reflects the anterior coverage of the acetabulum, was mainly measured on the false-profile view. The ACE Angle <20° is considered as insufficient anterior acetabular coverage, and acetabular dysplasia may be present.If it >40° is the anterior acetabular overcoverage, suggesting pincer-type FAI. The 45°Dunn view is mainly used to show the femoral head and neck deformity at 3 o'clock, where the femoroacetabular impingement is obvious. This position has a good indication effect for CAM-type FAI. CT can show the shape of the hip joint more intuitively by three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient's hip joint, which is convenient for surgical planning and postoperative evaluation. In addition, CT can also be used for the differential diagnosis of external hip impingement, such as ischiofemoral impingement, anterior inferior iliac spine impingement and greatertrochanteric impingement. MR Has excellent soft tissue imaging ability and can show other lesions that are difficult to be found by X-ray and CT, such as acetabular labrum and cartilage injury. It is essential for preoperative evaluation. Appropriate imaging examination plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of FAI.
