Panvascular diseases are systemic diseases with atherosclerosis as the pathological core, involving multiple vascular beds and target organs throughout the body. Due to their wide range and complexity, the traditional single-discipline prevention and treatment model struggles to meet the needs of systematic management, while clinical diagnosis often remains one-sided and insufficient, leading to delayed treatment. Literature reviews show that panvascular diseases involve a wide range of lesion sites, numerous influencing factors, and are prone to endangering life and health. It is urgent to construct a comprehensive and whole-course prevention and treatment management system, with vascular health as the goal and patients as the core. First, early screening and risk assessment should be conducted for high-risk groups. In terms of treatment decisions for patients, multi-disciplinary collaboration is needed to establish a scientific and standardized prevention and treatment path. Second, it is important to attach great importance to a people-centered approach, enhance patients' familiarity with the disease through cognitive intervention, and shift from passive treatment to active health care. Thirdly, it is needed to leverage the advantages of modern science and technology, promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence innovations and modern medicine, and help traditional diagnosis and treatment plans evolve towards precision, intelligence, and personalization. This will open up new paths for the modernization of the whole-course management of pan-vascular diseases. Fourth, efforts should be made to continue to carry forward and innovate the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, adhere to equal emphasis on modern and traditional medicine, promote complementary advantages and coordinated development of Chinese and Western medicine, and form a unique Chinese model for the whole-course management of panvascular diseases. Fifth, through the reintegration and redistribution of government, medical insurance, and medical resources, comprehensive talents in the broad vascular disciplines should be cultivated and an efficient hierarchical management model established, providing reference and guidance for the whole-course management of comprehensive diseases in the future.

BACKGROUND:The induced membrane technique(Masquelet technique)is a novel two-stage surgical approach for the reconstruction of large bone defects,gaining increasing popularity in clinical applications.However,the precise mechanism underlying its bone defect repair is still not fully understood.OBJECTIVE:To review the background,repair mechanism and advantages of the induced membrane technique,the characteristics of the induced membrane,membrane-bone graft communication,selection of animal models,types and morphology of bone cement,the effects of loaded antibiotics on the induced membrane,choice of fixation methods,and bone tissue engineering materials to provide new insights for the future treatment of critical-sized bone defects and the improvement of the induced membrane technique.METHODS:A literature search was conducted in PubMed,Web of Science,and CNKI databases,covering publications from 1986 to 2024.A total of 890 references were retrieved.Manual screening and analysis were performed based on inclusion criteria related to the fundamental research of induced membrane technique,excluding those with poor relevance to the topic and duplicates.The included literature comprised original experimental studies,reviews,meta-analyses and other relevant publications.Finally,72 articles were included for summary and analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The mechanism underlying the bone defect repair using this technique remains unclear,but both the membrane and bone grafting are indispensable.(2)The induced membrane is a distinctively layered tissue rich in various bone-forming related cells,growth factors,and blood vessels,with its vascularization and secretion of growth factors dynamically changing overtime.(3)In terms of animal model selection,sheep are more similar to humans in anatomical structure,weight-bearing patterns,and bone remodeling.However,rats are more suitable considering their lower feeding costs,easier handling,and shorter modeling period.(4)Polymethyl methacrylate is not the only material that can be used to induce a biomembrane,and there may be more suitable materials capable of inducing higher-quality biomembranes.The recommended dose of antibiotics(primarily vancomycin)is 1-4 g per 40 g polymethyl methacrylate.(5)For animal fixation,especially in rats,the use of steel plates is more widespread,providing a more reliable and reproducible fixation method.(6)In the future,there is potential for new materials to replace autogenous bone and enhance the bone repair capabilities of the Masquelet technique.

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a decrease in the number of available follicles in the ovaries and the quality of oocytes, which in turn affects follicle development, ovulation and sex hormone secretion, resulting in decreased fertility. Harmful chemical components in cigarette smoke, such as nicotine and benzopyrene, can interfere with the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and impair ovarian reserve and function through apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative stress and DNA damage, which can directly affect ovarian granulosa cells and oocytes, causing oocyte development disorders, increased apoptosis of granulosa cells, destroy reproductive endocrine homeostasis, lead to DOR and affect female fertility. At present, the molecular mechanism of premature ovarian dysfunction caused by cigarette smoke is not fully understood. In this paper, the molecular mechanism of cigarette smoke exposure affecting ovarian tissue and mediating ovarian function was reviewed, aiming to provide theoretical reference for the study of cigarette smoke induced DOR and affecting ovarian function, and to provide pregnant guidance for infertile women in bad environment and bad living habits.

Objective To reveal the thermally induced denaturation of wild-type human γ D-crystallin(HGD)and congenital cataract-related mutant(HGD P23T),and compare the differences in the structural changes between wild-type and mutants during a heating process.Methods HGD and HGD P23T were expressed and purified.The temperature-dependent intrinsic fluorescence intensity and static light scattering intensity of the protein samples were measured to reveal the temperature-dependent folding and aggregation structural changes of HGD and HGD P23T.Results When the temperature was below 70℃,the barycentric mean of the intrinsic fluorescence of HGD and HGD P23T shifted towards a longer wavelength with increasing temperature and the fluorescence intensity de-creased indicating the unfolded protein conformations.The conformational stability of HGD P23T was weaker than that of HGD.When temperature was higher than 70℃,the static light scattering intensity increased significantly with temperature,indicating protein aggregation upon heating.Relative to the wild-type,HGD P23T showed a stronger aggregation potency.Conclusions Heating disrupts the folding conformation of Γd-crystallin,induces the unfolded protein to aggregate.The disease-associated P23T mutation significantly reduces the conformational stability of Γd-crystallin.

Objective:To investigate the impact of circumferential tumor location (anterior wall, nonanterior wall, or circumferential) on circumferential resection margin (CRM) status, local recurrence, and survival in patients with mid-low rectal cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from 696 patients with mid-low rectal adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery in the Department of Colorectal Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University between December, 2018 and December, 2019. Based on MRI or contrast-enhanced CT findings, the rectal wall was divided into four quadrants: anterior, posterior, left, and right. Tumors were classified into three groups: anterior wall group ( n = 245), nonanterior wall group ( n = 286, tumors predominantly located on the posterior or lateral walls), and circumferential group ( n = 165, tumors involving ≥ 3/4 of the circumference). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline characteristics. Outcomes included pathological CRM positivity, local recurrence rate (LRR), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). Cox regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for recurrence, and subgroup analysis was conducted in patients who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy. Results:After PSM, both the anterior and circumferential groups had significantly higher pathological CRM positivity rates compared to the nonanterior wall group ( P=0.040 and P=0.039, respectively). The median follow-up time was 64 months (range: 1-71 months). Compared to the nonanterior wall group, the anterior wall group also had a significantly higher 5-year LRR (8.8% vs. 2.3%, P=0.003), and significantly lower 5-year OS (80.7% vs. 91.6%, P=0.001) and DFS (76.6% vs. 84.6%, P=0.029). The circumferential group had a significantly higher 5-year LRR than the nonanterior wall group (11.4% vs. 3.8%, P=0.020), but no significant differences were observed in 5-year OS (81.8% vs. 89.5%, P=0.100) or DFS (70.7% vs. 78.3%, P=0.101). No significant differences were found between the anterior and circumferential groups in 5-year LRR (11.1% vs. 9.7%), OS (76.3% vs. 83.7%), or DFS (69.8% vs. 74.1%) either (all P>0.05). Cox univariate analysis and multivariate analysis identified anterior wall tumors (HR=3.751, 95%CI: 1.373-10.215, P=0.010), circumferential tumors (HR=3.240, 95%CI: 1.109-9.466, P=0.032), pathological CRM positivity (HR=3.071, 95%CI: 1.144-8.245, P=0.026), and lymph node metastasis (HR=2.584, 95%CI: 1.192-5.601, P=0.016) as independent risk factors for LRR. Conversely, a greater distance from tumor to the anal verge (per 1 cm increase, HR=0.831, 95%CI: 0.712-0.970, P=0.019), and neoadjuvant therapy (HR=0.442, 95%CI: 0.204-0.957, P=0.038) were identified as independent protective factors against LRR. In patients who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy, locally advanced nonanterior wall tumors exhibited markedly low LRR (1.3% for pathological stage II-III, 1.6% for pT3-4 stage). Conclusion:Rectal tumors located in the anterior wall or involving the circumference are associated with higher CRM positivity rates, increased local recurrence, and poorer survival. These patients should be prioritized for neoadjuvant therapy. In contrast, nonanterior wall tumors have a low recurrence rate, and selective omission of neoadjuvant therapy may be considered for these cases.
