Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To develop a camelid single-domain antibody (SdAb) recognizing linear B-cell epitopes in glutamate dehydrogenase of Clostridium difficile(CD-GDH), and to apply it in Western blot and ELISA. Methods:Purified recombinant CD-GDH was used as bait to screen phage-displayed camelid SdAb library and obtain positive clones. Then those clones were confirmed by Western blot, and their variable domain of heavy chain of heavy chain antibody(VHH) nucleotide sequence were determined. The VHH sequence was synthesized after codon optimization and cloned into the expression vector pET28a. The SdAb was then expressed and purified, and its ability to detect CD-GDH protein in multiple assays was further explored.Results:Six positive clones were obtained, among which clone GA4 was chosen for recombinant expression in Escherichia coli and further purification. The purified GA4 binded well with CD-GDH with a Kd value of 3 nmol/L. In Western blot and ELISA, GA4 was proven to be able to selectively detect both recombinant and endogenous CD-GDH. Conclusions:A camelid SdAb targeting a linear B-cell epitope in CD-GDH is successfully developed, which provides a very useful tool for detecting CD-GDH.

Objective:This current study aims to explore the approaches for constructing a professional clinical research system within the context of research ward development, with the ultimate objective of providing valuable guidance for the establishment and development of proficient clinical research teams.Methods:Through a comprehensive case analysis, integrating the practical experiences from clinical trials conducted in the research ward of a Class-A tertiary hospital in Beijing, along with an extensive review of relevant literature and policy studies, this paper examined the current state of domestic clinical research implementation teams. Subsequently, a series of strategies were devised to build and foster professional clinical research teams and to explore corrective measures for cultivating a dynamic professional clinical research talent ecosystem.Results:The development of full-time clinical research teams in China was rather slow, and there was a lack of mature clinical trial teams training blueprints. Drawing on the practical experience accumulated during the establishment of a professional clinical research team in a leading hospital in Beijing, it was crucial to attach utmost importance to the optimal allocation of human and material resources. This required the systematic training of principal investigators, coordinating researchers, and research assistants, as well as the setting up of a comprehensive support system, an advanced scientific research team, and a quality control unit. Moreover, the standardization of operational models of both domestic and foreign research institutions, along with the implementation of corresponding support and incentive mechanisms, and the strengthening of training and continuing education frameworks were equally significant.Conclusions:During the process of assembling a full-time clinical research team, it is of utmost significance to cultivate professional principal investigators, coordinating researchers, and research assistants. Complemented by the establishment of a comprehensive support team, a scientific research team, and a quality control team, along with corresponding support and incentive mechanisms, this is crucial for constructing a professional clinical research execution team and a sustainable talent ecosystem in the research ward. Eventually, this will drive the efficient and high-quality progress of China's pharmaceutical industry.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between individual arsenic exposure and hypertension of Tibetan residents in Nyingchi City, Tibet Autonomous Region (referred to as Tibet).Methods:From June to August 2023, Tibetan residents aged 18 to 78 years who had resided in Bomi County and Chayu County of Nyingchi City, Tibet for at least 10 years were selected as the study subjects by cluster sampling. Questionnaire survey, physical examination, and biochemical index testing were conducted on the study subjects. Meanwhile, hair samples were collected to determine the arsenic content. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of hypertension.Results:A total of 447 Tibetan residents were included, with a hair arsenic content of (1.24 ± 0.02) mg/kg, including 155 hypertensive patients (34.68%). There were statistically significant differences in age, blood oxygen saturation, neck circumference, waist hip ratio, hemoglobin, hair arsenic, blood glucose, uric acid, and smoking status between the hypertension and normal blood pressure groups ( P < 0.05). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.03 - 1.07), uric acid ( OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 1.00 - 1.01), hair arsenic ( OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.07 - 2.84), and smoking ( OR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.05 - 4.69) were risk factors for hypertension. Conclusion:The hair arsenic content is a risk factor for hypertension of Tibetan residents in Nyingchi City, Tibet.

Objective This study aims to explore the association between non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)and suicide attempts(SA)in adolescents and the mediating effect of cognitive flexibility.Methods A total of 218 depression patients with NSSI who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,5th Edition(DSM-5)diagnostic criteria for NSSI were enrolled.Patients were divided into SA group(n=105)and non-SA group(n=113)according to the presence or absence of SA in the last one year.The adolescent non-suicidal self-injury assessment questionnaire(ANSAQ)and the Wisconsin card sorting tests(WCST)was used to assess the frequency of NSSI and cognitive flexibility,respectively.A mediation model was constructed to conduct path analysis,and the product distribution method was utilized to test the mediation effect.Results The difference between SA group and non-SA group in NSSI(20.1±10.7 vs.14.7±9.1)and WCST scores[correct responses percentage(67.3％±14.2％vs.72.9％±12.2％),error responses(39.8±20.3 vs.31.6±17.9),perseverative response(6.7±3.8 vs.5.3±2.9),and non-perseverative errors(37.6±21.0 vs.28.9±18.1)]were significant(P<0.05).Dichotomous logistic regression analysis showed that the frequency of NSSI(OR=1.051,95％CI:1.021-1.082)and the score of perseverative response(OR=1.100,95％CI:1.008-1.199)were significantly associated with suicidal behavior among adolescents with NSSI(P<0.05).Moreover,perseverative response partially mediated the association between NSSI and SA(95％CI of Za×Zb:0.0003-0.0168).Conclusion High NSSI and low cognitive flexibility are risk factors for suicide attempts in NSSI adolescents and NSSI may also affect SA indirectly by lowering cognitive flexibility.
