BACKGROUND:Titanium elastic intramedullary nailing for the treatment of significantly displaced midshaft clavicle fractures has the characteristics of minimally invasive and elastic fixation.The displacement of the fracture is closely related to the later function.However,there are few studies on the three-dimensional displacement analysis of the fracture ends before surgery and after intramedullary fixation such as titanium elastic intramedullary nailing.OBJECTIVE:To explore the three-dimensional displacement of fracture ends after midshaft clavicle fracture and fixation with titanium elastic intramedullary nails,and to analyze the risk factors.METHODS:A total of 91 patients with midshaft clavicle fracture(fracture end shortening ≥15 mm)admitted to Wendeng Orthopedic Hospital of Shandong Province from April 2019 to April 2024 were selected,including 57 males and 34 females,aged(51.73±10.21)years old.All patients received closed reduction and internal fixation with titanium elastic intramedullary nail.CT scans of the affected clavicle were performed before and on the first day after surgery.The CT data were imported into Mimics software for modeling.The length of the clavicle,lateral displacement of the fracture end,and rotation of the distal end of the fracture along the X,Y,and Z axes were measured and recorded before and after surgery.Pearson correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis of various parameters,and generalized linear regression was used to evaluate risk factors.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Preoperatively,the variable that increased the risk of lateral displacement was the number of comminuted bone fragments,the variable that increased the risk of shortening displacement was male patients,and the variable that increased the risk of Z-axis rotation was the left limb.Shortening displacement was significantly positively correlated with lateral displacement(r=0.715,P＜0.001);shortening displacement was significantly positively correlated with X-axis rotation displacement and Y-axis rotation displacement(r=0.265,P=0.028;r=0.303,P=0.011);lateral displacement was significantly positively correlated with Y-axis rotation and Z-axis rotation(r=0.258,P=0.032;r=0.250,P=0.038);X-axis rotation was significantly positively correlated with Y-axis rotation(r=0.382,P=0.001),and Z-axis rotation was significantly positively correlated with Y-axis rotation(r=0.280,P=0.020).(2)Postoperatively:The number of scapula fractures and comminuted bone fragments were variables that increased the risk of postoperative shortening and lateral displacement:Preoperative X-,Y-,and Z-axis rotation displacements were risk variables that increased postoperative X-,Y-,and Z-axis rotation displacements,respectively.Postoperative lateral displacement was significantly positively correlated with postoperative shortening and displacement(r=0.584,P=0.000),and postoperative lateral displacement was also significantly positively correlated with postoperative Y axis rotation and Z axis rotation(r=0.360,P=0.002;r=0.250,P=0.038).Postoperative Y axis rotation was significantly positively correlated with postoperative Z axis rotation(r=0.248,P=0.040).(3)The results showed that the three-dimensional displacement of the clavicle end before and after surgery was affected by many factors,especially the number of comminuted bone fragments,scapula fractures,gender,and original rotation displacement.At the same time,there were complex correlations between various displacements,especially the correlation between shortening displacement and lateral displacement was the strongest.

BACKGROUND:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important treatment for malignant hematological diseases,and delayed postoperative platelet implantation is a common complication that seriously affects the quality of patient survival;however,there are no standard protocols to improve platelet implantation rates and prevent platelet implantation delays. OBJECTIVE:To compare the safety and efficacy of oral Herombopag Olamine versus subcutaneous recombinant human thrombopoietin for promoting platelet implantation in patients with malignant hematological diseases undergoing haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS:Clinical data of 163 patients with malignant hematological diseases who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 72 patients who started to subcutaneously inject recombinant human thrombopoietin at+2 days were categorized into the recombinant human thrombopoietin group;a total of 27 patients who started to orally take Herombopag Olamine at+2 days were categorized into the Herombopag Olamine group;and 64 patients who did not apply Herombopag Olamine or recombinant human thrombopoietin were categorized into the blank control group.The implantation status,incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease of degree II-IV within 100 days,1-year survival rate,1-year recurrence rate,and safety were analyzed in the three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The average follow-up time was 52(12-87)months.The implantation time of neutrophils in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group was(12.95±3.88)days,(14.04±3.71)days,and(13.89±2.74)days,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.352);the implantation time of platelets was(15.16±6.27)days,(17.67±6.52)days,and(17.00±4.75)days,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.287).(2)The complete platelet implantation rate on day 60 was 64.06%,90.28%,and 92.59%,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The subgroup analysis showed that the difference between the blank control group and the recombinant human thrombopoietin group was statistically significant(P<0.001),and the difference between the blank control group and the Herombopag Olamine group was statistically significant(P=0.004).The difference was not statistically significant between the recombinant human thrombopoietin group and Herombopag Olamine group(P=0.535).(3)100-day II-IV degree acute graft-versus-host disease incidence in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group were 25.00%,30.56%,and 25.93%,respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.752).(4)The incidence of cytomegalovirus anemia,cytomegalovirus pneumonia,and hepatic function injury had no statistical difference among the three groups(P>0.05).(5)During the follow-up period,there was no thrombotic event in any of the three groups of patients.(6)The results showed that recombinant human thrombopoietin and Herombopag Olamine could improve the platelet implantation rate of malignant hematological disease patients after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,with comparable efficacy and good safety.

Mechanical pain is one of the most common causes of clinical pain, but there remains a lack of effective treatment for debilitating mechanical and chronic forms of neuropathic pain. Recently, neurotoxin GsMTx4, a selective mechanosensitive (MS) channel inhibitor, has been found to be effective, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, with multiple rodent pain models, we demonstrated that a GsMTx4-based 17-residue peptide, which we call P10581, was able to reduce mechanical hyperalgesia and neuropathic pain. The analgesic effects of P10581 can be as strong as morphine but is not toxic in animal models. The anti-hyperalgesic effect of the peptide was resistant to naloxone (an μ-opioid receptor antagonist) and showed no side effects of morphine, including tolerance, motor impairment, and conditioned place preference. Pharmacological inhibition of TRPV4 by P10581 in a heterogeneous expression system, combined with the use of Trpv4 knockout mice indicates that TRPV4 channels may act as the potential target for the analgesic effect of P10581. Our study identified a potential drug for curing mechanical pain and exposed its mechanism.

BACKGROUND: Death burden of stroke is severe with over one-third rural residents in China, but there is still a lack of specific national and high-quality reports on the urban-rural differences in stroke burden, especially for subtypes. We aimed to update the understanding of urban-rural differences in stroke deaths. METHODS: This is a descriptive observational study. Data from the national mortality surveillance system, which covers 323.8 million with 605 disease surveillance points (DSPs) across all 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China. All deaths from stroke as the underlying cause from 2015 to 2020 according to DSPs. Crude mortality rate and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) were estimated through DSPs. Average annual percentage change was used to explain the change in mortality rate. RESULTS: From 2015 to 2020, the majority of deaths from all stroke subtypes occurred in rural areas. There were significant differences between the changes of urban and rural ASMRs. On the whole, the changes in urban areas were evidently better, and the ASMR differences were basically expanding. Stroke ASMR in urban China decreased by 15.5%. The rural ASMR of ischemic stroke increased by 12.9%. The rural and urban ASMRs of intracerebral hemorrhage decreased by 24.9% and 27.4%, and those of subarachnoid hemorrhage decreased by 29.5% and 40.4%, respectively. The highest ASMRs of all stroke subtypes and the increasing trend of ischemic stroke ASMR make rural males the focus of stroke management. CONCLUSIONS The death burden of stroke varies greatly between urban and rural China. Rural residents face unique challenges.

Objective: To investigate the detection of natural infection with pathogens in rodents in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for risk assessment and control of rodent-borne diseases. Methods: From August to September each year during the period of 2022-2024, urban residential areas, rural residential areas, key industries, farmland and cultivated land, forests, and shrublands in various counties (districts) of Huzhou City were selected as rodent surveillance sites. Rodents were captured using the trap night method. Following anesthesia, the rodents were euthanized by cervical dislocation. Species were identified based on morphological characteristics. Under sterile conditions, dissection was performed to collect liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues. These tissues were then mixed together, and detected for Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, Leptospira, and Orientia tsutsugamushi using fluorescence quantitative PCR. The detection rates of these natural infections with pathogens were analyzed across different rodent species, counties (districts), and habitats. Results: A total of 259 rodents were captured from 2022 to 2024, including Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, Suncus murinus, Mus musculus, Leopoldamys edwardsi, Niviventer fulvescens, Rattus losea, and Apodemus agrarius. The dominant species were Rattus norvegicus (142 individuals) and Rattus tanezumi (59 individuals), collectively accounting for 77.61%. With the exception of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, and Leptospira were all detected, with detection rates of 5.02%, 1.93%, and 10.42%, respectively. Hantavirus and Leptospira were simultaneously detected in one Rattus norvegicus, yielding a mixed infection rate of 0.39%. The three pathogens were detected in rodents in Wuxing District, Nanxun District, Deqing County, Changxing County, and Anji County, with detection rates of 6.45%, 5.71%, 26.32%, 4.76%, and 24.00%, respectively. They were also detected in rodents in urban residential areas, rural residential areas, key industries, farmland, and forests, with detection rates of 28.57%, 21.57%, 10.91%, 12.50%, and 14.81%, respectively. Notably, all three pathogens were simultaneously detected in Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, rural residential areas, and key industries. Conclusions Rattus norvegicus and Rattus tanezumi were identified as the dominant rodent species in Huzhou City. The detection of Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, and Leptospira, including instances of mixed infection. It is necessary to enhance surveillance and control measures targeting these key species and high-risk habitats.

Objective:To prepare ((2-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-((2- 18F-fluoroethyl)oxy)phenyl)-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydrooxepino[3, 2-c]pyrazol-8-yl)amino)methanoic acid methyl ester ( 18F-JR-1001) and evaluate its binding affinity to the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R). Methods:18F-JR-1001 was synthesized using an integrated automated synthesis module, and its radiochemical yield (RCY) and molar activity were determined. Cell-specific uptake, lipid-water partition coefficient (log P), competitive binding assays, and in vitro stability tests were performed. Rimonabant-fed rat models (blocking group) with pre-occupied CB1R were established. Radioautography and microPET/CT imaging were conducted on both the blocking group and normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats to evaluate the brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 and its blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration capability. Results:The RCY of the synthetic 18F-JR-1001 after decay correction was (32.5±9.2)% ( n=10), with the molar activity of (194.6±67.3)GBq/μmol. Cell experiments demonstrated that 18F-JR-1001 exhibited specificity for CB1R, with log P of 3.40±0.11 ( n=3) and half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.975nmol/L. Within 3h at 37℃, the radiochemical purity of 18F-JR-1001 in physiological saline and blood remained above 92%, with no significant radioactive by-product peaks observed. Radioautography showed that the whole brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 in the blocking group was 65.6% of that in normal SD rats. MicroPET/CT imaging showed that the mean whole brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 in the blocking group was 0.4706, which was lower than that in normal SD rats (1.0561). Additionally, continuous scanning for 60min demonstrated that 18F-JR-1001 exhibited good BBB penetration capability. Conclusion:The synthesized 18F-JR-1001 meets the requirements of production and application, and is proved the potential as a CB1R-targeted tracer in the in vitro experiments, microPET/CT imaging and radioautography.

Objective:To explore the impact of air pollution on hospital visits for mental and behavioral disorders among residents in an industrial area in Henan Province from 2016 to 2021.Methods:Daily outpatient visits data for mental and behavioral disorders were collected from Angang General Hospital in Angang Industrial Area at Anyang City between January 2016 and December 2021. And air pollutants and meteorological data during the same period were also collected. A generalized additive model was used for time-series analysis to examine the relationship between daily average concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), sulfur dioxide (SO 2), fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O 3) with a lag of 0 to 7 days on the number of visits for mental and behavioral disorders among residents. The single-day lag effect (lag0-lag7 d) and cumulative lag effect (lag01-lag07 d) were analyzed. The smooth cubic spline function was used to fit the exposure-response relationship, and subgroup analysis was performed according to different genders, seasons and ages. Results:A total of 26 268 hospital visits for mental and behavioral disorders were collected from the industrial area between 2016 and 2021. The daily average concentrations of SO 2, NO 2, PM 2.5, PM 10, and CO were (27.50±27.33), (43.11±18.33), (73.87±60.30), (134.01±83.81) μg/m 3, and (1.72±1.03) mg/m 3, respectively. The daily maximum 8-hour average concentration of O 3 was (82.18±53.70) μg/m 3. After controlling for long-term trends, temperature, relative humidity, day of the week effects, and holiday effects, the generalized additive model analysis showed that NO 2 had a statistically significant impact on the hospital visits for mental and behavioral disorders at lag0 d, lag2 d and lag01-lag05 d and CO had a statistically significant impact at lag0-lag3 d and lag01-lag06 d (all P<0.05). NO 2 at lag02-lag04 d and CO at lag0-lag2 d and lag01-lag04 d had statistically significant effects on the visits for neurasthenia (both P<0.05). The impacts of NO 2 at lag03-lag04 d, PM 2.5 at lag3 d and lag03-lag04 d, PM 10 at lag3 d and lag03 d, and CO at lag3 d and lag01-lag05 d on visits for generalized anxiety disorder were also statistically significant (all P<0.05). After false discovery rate (FDR) correction, it was shown that for every 10 μg/m 3 increase in NO 2 and every 0.1 mg/m 3 increase in CO, the percentage increase in visits for mental and behavioral disorders and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were 3.38% (0.95%-5.87%) and 0.78% (0.38%-1.17%), respectively. For every 0.1 mg/m 3 increase in CO, the visits for neurasthenia increased by 0.78% (0.27%-1.29%). For every 10 μg/m 3 increase in PM 2.5 and every 0.1 mg/m 3 increase in CO, the visits for generalized anxiety disorder increased by 1.07% (0.46%-1.68%) and 1.17% (0.37%-1.97%), respectively (adjusted P<0.05). There was a linear exposure-response relationship between NO 2 and CO and the hospital visits for mental and behavioral disorders, CO and the hospital visits for neurasthenia, and CO and PM 2.5 and the hospital visits for generalized anxiety disorder ( P<0.05 for the overall association test and P>0.05 for the non-linearity test). Stratified analysis showed that air pollutants had an impact on male patients with neurasthenia, female patients with generalized anxiety disorder, individuals aged <45 years with mental and behavioral disorders, and individuals aged ≥65 years with generalized anxiety disorder. The impact of air pollutants was greater during the cold season or winter. Conclusion:Exposure to air pollution can increase hospital visits for mental and behavioral disorders among residents in industrial areas, with a higher risk among those aged<45 years old and during the cold season.

Objectives:To investigate the clinical and cardiopulmonary functional characteristics of cardiopulmonary-phenotype idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension(IPAH)patients in comparison with classical IPAH patients and pulmonary hypertension patients associated with chronic lung disease(CLD-PH).Methods:In this retrospective study,data were collected from 30 patients with classical IPAH,20 cardiopulmonary phenotype IPAH patients,and 20 patients with CLD-PH,who were hospitalized in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from November 2017 to February 2025.Pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed via right heart catheterization and all patients underwent pulmonary function tests,chest computed tomography(CT),echocardiography,and patients were followed up to 5 years.Results:Compared to classical IPAH patients,both cardiopulmonary phenotype IPAH patients and CLD-PH patients exhibited later onset age,higher proportions of World Health Organization(WHO)functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ,males,and smokers(all P<0.05).The cardiopulmonary-phenotype IPAH patients also had higher rates of coronary artery disease and diabetes compared to classical IPAH patients(all P<0.05).Physiologically,the cardiopulmonary-phenotype IPAH patients showed reduced diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide(DLCO)and partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),along with higher rates of emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis compared to classical IPAH(all P<0.05).In contrast,CLD-PH patients had lower mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP),pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR),and pulmonary artery wedge pressure(PAWP),as well as reduced forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1%predicted),FEV1/forced vital capacity(FVC)ratio,and DLCO.However,CLD-PH patients demonstrated higher tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(TAPSE),peak systolic velocity of the tricuspid annulus(S`),and partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),along with increased rates of emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis(all P<0.05).Compared with LCD-PH,cardiopulmonary-phenotype IPAH patients had higher mPAP,PVR,FEV1%predicted,FEV1/FVC ratio,PAWP,and systolic pulmonary artery pressure,but lower DLCO,cardiac output,TAPSE,S′,and PaCO2(all P<0.05).No statistical difference was observed in PaO2 between these two groups.All cardiopulmonary-phenotype IPAH patients and classical IPAH patients received targeted medications,55%of CLD-PH patients did not receive targeted therapy,45%received monotherapy only(compared with cardiopulmonary-phenotype IPAH patients and classical IPAH groups,P<0.05).The 1,2,and 5-year survival rates were 79.2%,62.2%,and 46.7%,respectively in patients with cardiopulmonary-phenotype IPAH,100%,94.4%,and 94.4%,respectively in classic IPAH patients,and 92.9%,77.4%and 77.4%,respectively in patients with CLD-PH.Survival rates for cardiopulmonary-phenotype IPAH patients were significantly lower than those of classical IPAH and CLD-PH patients(log-rank P=0.008).Conclusions:IPAH cardiopulmonary phenotype patients are older,predominantly male,and often have a smoking history(median 30 pack-years).They exhibit severe hypoxemia,markedly reduced DLCOc,preserved spirometry,and severe pulmonary hypertension and lower survival rate.
