With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Objective:To investigate the selection of treatment methods for renal tumors in pilots as well as the clinical significance of robot-assisted surgery by summarizing the process of robot-assisted surgery in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma in a pilot.Methods:The diagnosis, robot-assisted surgery and aeromedical assessment of a pilot with renal cell carcinoma were reported, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 44-year-old male transporter pilot, who was diagnosed with a left renal mass in the middle-lower pole of the kidney during a routine abdominal CT scan. After detailed preoperative evaluation that ruled out the possibility of distant metastasis and other surgical contraindications, the patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in August 2022. The postoperative recovery went well, and renal function remained within normal limits at follow-ups. In March 2023, the pilot was concluded as qualified for flight after aeromedical assessment.Conclusions:Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy can significantly reduce surgical trauma, lower the risk of complications, and maximally preserve renal function. It is a good approach to renal tumors in pilots who can recover quickly.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of infarct core resection combined with decompressive craniectomy(DC)based on corticospinal tract(CST)protection in the treatment of massive cerebral infarction(MCI)with malignant brain edema.Methods This study retrospectively enrolled MCI patients with malignant brain edema who underwent internal decompression combined with DC at Xingtai Central Hospital from January 2021 to June 2024.The enrolled patients were divided into a control group and an experimental group base on the intracranial internal decompression method used.All patients underwent CT perfusion(CTP),CT angiography(CTA),diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI),and diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)within 24 h of admission.Preoperative imaging data was automatically processed using an artificial intelligence diagnostic system.For the experimental group,the imaging data was fused within a neuro-navigation system preoperatively to visualize the spatial relationships between the infarct core,ischemic penumbra,and CST and infarct core resection combined with DC was performed while protecting the CST through neuro-navigation.The control group underwent anterior temporal lobectomy combined with DC.Baseline and clinical data were collected from both groups,including gender,age,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,diabetes,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,hyperhomocysteinemia,atrial fibrillation history,responsible occluded vessel(internal carotid artery,middle cerebral artery),preoperative infarct volume on DWI,preoperative ischemic penumbra volume,preoperative the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,time from onset to surgery,intraoperative procedure duration,intraoperative blood loss,preoperative and 1-month postoperative fraction anisotropy(FA)values of the CST on the affected side,modified Rankin scale(mRS)score at 6 months postoperatively,and surgery-related complications within 1 month postoperatively(intracranial hemorrhage[operative site oozing,hemorrhagic transformation]and intracranial infection[surgical incision site infection,empyema,brain abscess,meningitis]).6-month follow-up after surgery were conducted through outpatient visit or telephone calls and prognosis of patients was evaluated using the mRS(with mRS of 0-3 defined as good prognosis,4-6 as poor prognosis,and 6 indicating death).The effectiveness indicators included FA value of the affected CST at 1 month postoperatively,good prognosis rate after surgery at 6 months,and 6-month mortality rate after surgery.The safety indicators included the incidence rates of surgical complications(intracranial hemorrhage and infection)within 1 month postoperatively.Based on preoperative DTI images,all patients were further divided into a CST-intact(infarct core did not invade CST,CST morphology intact or deformed/shifted)and a CST-damaged(infarct core invaded CST,CST disrupted or interrupted)subgroup for analysis.Results A total of 62patients(37 males,25 females,age 49-60 years,mean[55±4]years)were enrolled in this study.With 28 patients in the experimental group and 34 in the control group.(1)No significant differences were found in baseline or clinical data between the experimental and control groups(all P>0.05),and the reoperative FA values of the affected CST were showed no significant differences(P=0.588).(2)The efficacy and safety metrics were evaluated.For the efficacy indices,at 1 month after the surgery,FA values of the affected CST increased significantly compared to preoperative values in both groups(0.409±0.051 vs.0.312±0.052 in the experimental group,and,0.381±0.048 vs.0.319±0.049 in control group;both P<0.05),and the FA value was significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group(0.409±0.051 vs.0.381±0.048,P=0.030).At the 6-month follow-ups,the good prognosis rate was significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group(39.3%[11/28]vs.14.7%[5/34],P=0.028).No significant difference in the 6-month mortality rate were observed between the two groups(P=0.787).For the safety indices,no significant differences were found in the incidence rates of intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial infection within 1 month postoperatively between the two groups(both P>0.05).(3)For further subgroup analysis,no significant differences were found in baseline or clinical data between the CST-damaged subgroup and the CST-intact subgroup in both the experimental and control groups(all P>0.05).In CST-intact subgroup,FA values of the affected CST increased significantly at 1 month postoperatively compared to preoperatively in the study group(0.428±0.047 vs.0.342±0.045,P<0.05)and the control group(0.401±0.051 vs.0.347±0.048,P<0.05).While in the CST-damaged subgroup,no significant differences were found in FA value of the affected CST 1 month postoperatively compared with that preoperatively in both the experimental and control groups(bothP>0.05).A significantly higher FA values 1 month postoperatively(0.428±0.047 vs.0.401±0.051,P=0.036)and good prognosis rate(9/12 vs.4/16,P=0.020)were observed in the CST-intact subgroup of the experimental group comparing with that of the control group,while there was no statistically significant difference in the 6-month mortality rate between the groups within the CST-intact subgroup(P=1.000).There were no statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both efficacy and safety indices within the CST-damaged subgroup(all P>0.05).Conclusions Infarct core resection combining DC with CST protection demonstrates superior neurological functional improvement in comparison with anterior temporal lobectomy combining DC in treating MCI with malignant brain edema,particularly for patients with an intact CST before surgery(as indicated in patients'preoperative imaging results).This(infarct core resection combining DC with CST protection)approach does not increase the incidence of surgical complications.Prospective large sample controlled studies are required for further validation.

Sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 1 (SnRK1) is one of the highly conserved Ca2+ non-dependent serine/threonine protein kinases, playing a crucial role in regulating the stress responses, growth, and development of plants. SnRK1 is a three-subunit complex, and it is involved in responding to the signaling transduction induced by low-energy/low-sugar conditions. SnRK1 responds biotic and abiotic stress conditions (such as salt, drought, low/high temperatures, and diseases) through phosphorylation of key metabolic enzymes and regulatory proteins, regulation of transcription, and interactions with other proteins. Furthermore, SnRK1 is not only involved in hormone signaling pathways mediated by abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA), but also regulates plant autophagy by inhibiting the activity of target of rapamycin (TOR). In this review, we summarized the current results of research on the discovery, structure, and classification of plant SnRK1 and its roles in the stress responses, growth, and development of plants. Furthermore, this article proposes the directions of future research. This review provides good genetic resources and a theoretical basis for the genetic improvement and biological breeding for enhancing the stress tolerance of crops.

Objective:To explore the natural course of ulcerative proctitis (UP) and the risk factors associated with disease extent progression.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including UP patients who had undergoing prospective regisration in the Department of Gastroenterology, Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases, Air Force Medical University between January 2000 and May 2023. All patients were ≥ 18 years old at the time of diagnosis and followed up for more than one year. The disease extent in patients at diagnosis and during follow-up was assessed according to the Montreal classification. The clinical data were compared between the progression group and the non-progression group. The cumulative proportions of disease extent progression were analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method, and the risk factors associated with disease extent progression were analyzed with the Cox proportional hazards regression model.Results:A total of 184 UP patients were included, with a median follow-up time of 4.8 (2.8, 8.5) years. Among them, 96 were male (52.2%) and 88 were female (47.8%), with a median age at diagnosis of 39.1 (28.8, 49.7) years. At the time of diagnosis, 95 (51.6%) patients had moderate endoscopic manifestations and 64 (34.8%) had severe endoscopic manifestations, while only 25 (13.6%) patients had mild lesions. 116 patients (63.0%) experienced disease extent progression in a median time of 4.2 (1.8, 9.0) years. The cumulative proportions of disease extent progression in 1, 3, 5, and 10 years were 13.0%, 39.0%、56.7% and 78.3%, respectively. Cox regression analysis identified the use of 5-aminosalicylic acid as a protective factor against disease extent progression ( HR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.31 ~ 0.96, P = 0.035). During follow-up, only one patient (0.5%) underwent surgery. Five patients (2.7%) were diagnosed with dysplasia, and all of these patients had experienced disease extent progression before the development of dysplasia. Conclusions:Patients with UP had a high proportion of moderate-to-severe active endoscopic findings at diagnosis, and nearly two-thirds of patients experienced disease progression during follow-up, but the rates of colectomy and neoplasia were relatively low. 5-ASA was a protective factor against disease extent progression.

Objective:To understand the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of residents in areas endemic for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and the factors influencing these aspects, to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of SFTS among residents in endemic areas.Methods:A multi-stage sampling method was used to select subjects for a questionnaire survey, and the collected data were analyzed and compared.Results:The awareness rate of SFTS-related knowledge among residents in the endemic areas of Qingdao was 14.38%, while the awareness rate of tick-related knowledge was 69.78%. The mean score for protective attitudes among residents in the endemic areas was 24.50±4.09, and the mean score for protective behaviors was 11.20±2.76. Among residents of different ages, occupations, and educational levels, comparisons of SFTS-related knowledge awareness rates ( χ2=293.553, P<0.001; χ2=495.216, P<0.001; χ2=677.272, P<0.001), tick-related knowledge awareness rates ( χ2=29.986, P<0.001; χ2=23.239, P=0.002; χ2=41.003, P<0.001), protective attitude scores ( H=52.094, P<0.001; H=33.446, P<0.001; H=81.715, P<0.001), and protective behavior scores ( H=52.344, P<0.001; H=28.465, P<0.001; H=67.061, P<0.001) showed statistically significant differences. Comparisons of these same factors among residents of different genders showed no statistically significant differences ( χ2=1.159, P=0.282; χ2=0.298, P=0.585; t=-0.808, P=0.419; t=-1.229, P=0.219). Comparisons of tick-related knowledge awareness rates among residents with different frequencies of outdoor work showed no statistically significant differences ( χ2=5.367, P=0.147); however, comparisons of SFTS-related knowledge awareness rates, protective attitude scores, and protective behavior scores among residents with different frequencies of outdoor work showed statistically significant differences ( χ2=117.010, P<0.001; F=4.127, P=0.006; H=56.280, P<0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that older age, lower educational level, and less frequent outdoor work were associated with lower protective behavior scores ( t=-3.479, P<0.001; t=4.861, P<0.001; t=-7.753, P<0.001). Conclusions:Residents in the epidemic areas of SFTS have a low level of knowledge, attitude and practice. Factors influencing protective behaviors include age, occupation, educational level, and frequency of outdoor work. Farmers are a group that requires particular attention.
