Evidence serves as the driving force shifting medical practice from empirical medicine towards evidence-based medicine. In the current era of information explosion, it is challenging for clinical surgeons to extract evidence from the vast pool of primary research literature to address clinical issues. Literature reviews, as a form of synthesized evidence, are particularly crucial for precise and efficient evidence utilization. A new form of review within the framework of evidence-based medicine, systematic reviews, also has widespread application in the surgical domain. With the development of methodological approaches in evidence-based medicine, the types of systematic reviews continue to diversify. This paper outlines and summarizes the common types and methodologies of systematic reviews in the surgical field, aiming to provide a clear framework for surgical practitioners to select evidence for both confirming and innovating clinical practices in specific clinical challenges.

Objective To test the hypothesis that backward crawling and forward crawling share similar inter-joint coordination patterns,thus providing potential evidence for the application of backward crawling in rehabilitation training.Methods The acceleration signals in the X,Y,and Z directions for 9 joints(including bilateral wrists,elbows,shoulders,knees,and hips)in 9 volunteers during forward and backward crawling were collected using a custom signal acquisition system,and the pressure signals were also recorded when the palms contacted the ground.The collected acceleration signals were preprocessed,segmented into cycles,and vectorized.Based on the pressure signals,a single crawling cycle was divided into support phase and swing phase.In addition,principal component analysis was applied to extract inter-joint coordination in limbs at various scales(sagittal,coronal,and transverse planes).Pearson correlation coefficients of inter-joint coordination patterns were compared between forward and backward crawling in support period,swing period,and full cycle.Results The correlation coefficients for coordination patterns in the full cycle at the transverse plane scale were 0.813 5(PC1)and 0.837 5(PC2),and the correlation coefficient of the support period PC2 was 0.901 8.At the sagittal plane scale,the correlation coefficient of the support period PC1 was 0.948 5.Conclusion The study provides preliminary evidence that limb motion coordination patterns during backward crawling are similar to those observed during forward crawling.Future research will further explore the effects of backward crawling on functional rehabilitation in individuals with motor impairments.

How to effectively reduce the size of infant pose estimation network models is a key issue restricting the"home-use"of infant pose estimation technology. Therefore,a lightweight method for infant pose estimation in home scenarios is proposed. The method takes the lightweight network MobileNetV3 as the encoding backbone and utilizesa PixelShuffle up-sampling module in the decoder for reducing the quantity of model parameters. Meanwhile,coordinate attention mechanism is used to better capture location information and channel feature information,highlighting the feature information of small targets and occluded human keypoints. Besides,the parallel cross-correlation convolution is further modified to enhance the capability of feature information extraction. The method's performance is verified on the general pose estimation dataset (COCO) and the dedicated infant pose estimation dataset (SyRIP). The results show that,with a calculation volume (GFLOPs) of only 0.96,the method achieves average accuracies of 73.5% and 91.0% on COCO and SyRIP datasets,respectively,proving that it can significantly reduce the quantity of model parameters and calculation volume without sacrificing pose estimation accuracy. The proposed lightweight estimation model is expected to be deployed on home appliances such as smart terminals,thereby realizing intelligent estimation of abnormal infant poses in home scenarios.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)is characterized by high recurrence or distant metastases rate and the prognosis is challenging.There is mounting evidence that tumor-infiltrating B cells(TIL-Bs)have a crucial,synergistic role in tumor control.However,little is known about the role TIL-Bs play in immune microenvironment and the way TIL-Bs affect the outcome of immune checkpoint blockade.Using single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)data from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,the study identified distinct gene expression patterns in TIL-Bs.HNSCC samples were categorized into TIL-Bs inhibition and TIL-Bs activation groups using unsupervised clustering.This classification was further validated with TCGA HNSCC data,correlating with patient prognosis,immune cell infiltration,and response to immunotherapy.We found that the B cells activation group exhibited a better prognosis,higher immune cell infiltration,and distinct immune checkpoint levels,including elevated PD-L1.A prognostic model was also developed and validated,highlighting four genes as potential biomarkers for predicting survival outcomes in HNSCC patients.Overall,this study provides a foundational approach for B cells-based tumor classification in HNSCC,offering insights into targeted treatment and immunotherapy strategies.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of apigenin on the liver of hyperlipidemic mice based on metabolomics methods.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups including blank,model,fenofibrate(26.0 mg·kg-1),and apigenin(12.5 mg·kg-1)groups,with six mice in each group.Each group was treated with corresponding drug by gavage once a day for five days.On the third day of administration,the mouse model of acute hyperlipidemia was induced by a single intramuscular injection of Triton WR-1339(5 mL·kg-1)at a concentration of 0.12 g·mL-1.Biochemical indexes such as TC and TG in mice serum were measured by using a fully automatic microplate reader.HE staining was used to observe pathological changes in liver tissue.UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technology was applied to analyze liver tissue samples.Differential metabolites were screened by using multivariate statistical analysis methods such as PCA,PLS-DA,and OPLS-DA.Then we ran the mass spectrometry information of these metabolites through online databases including HMDB,METLIN and KEGG,as well as combined with relevant literature to obtain the potential differential metabolites.The identified potential differential compounds were imported into the MetaboAnalyst platform for metabolic pathway analysis.Results Compared with the blank group,TC and TG levels in mice serum of model group increased obviously(P<0.01).Irregular arrangement of liver cells,fat vacuoles and infiltration of inflammatory cells were found.Compared with the model group,TC and TG levels in mice serum of apigenin group decreased(P>0.05).Fatty lesions in liver tissue were significantly improved,and fat vacuoles and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced.A total of 35 differential metabolites were screened.Twenty-six differential metabolites showed callback trend after apigenin treatment.Eight metabolic pathways were obviously affected,among which pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis,as well as arachidonic acid metabolism are two main metabolic pathways(P<0.05).Conclusion Apigenin exhibits a certain protective effect on liver of hyperlipidemic mice,and its mechanism may be related to regulating liver inflammatory response and lipid metabolism-related pathways.
