In order to compare the differences in growth and secondary metabolite accumulation of Panax quinquefolius between understory and field planting, growth indexes, photosynthetic characteristics, soil enzyme activities, secondary metabolite contents, and antioxidant activities of P. quinquefolius under different planting modes were examined and compared, and One-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and correlation analyses were carried out by using the software SPSS 25.0 and GraphPad Prism 9.5. The Origin 2021 software was used for plotting. The results showed that compared with those under field planting, the plant height, leaf length, leaf width, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content of P. quinquefolius under understory planting were significantly reduced, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF) infestation rate and infestation intensity, ginsenoside content, and antioxidant activity were significantly increased. The activities of inter-root soil urease, sucrase, and catalase increased, while the activities of non-inter-root soil urease and alkaline phosphatase increased. Correlation analyses showed that the plant height and leaf length of P. quinquefolius plant were significantly positively correlated with net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, chlorophyll content, and electron transfer rate(P<0.05), while ginsenoside content was significantly negatively correlated with net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, and electron transfer rate(P<0.05) and significantly positively correlated with AMF infestation rate and infestation intensity(P<0.05). In addition, ginsenoside content was significantly positively correlated with the activities of inter-root soil sucrase, urease, and catalase(P<0.05). This study provides basic data for revealing the mechanism of secondary metabolite accumulation in P. quinquefolius under understory planting and for exploring and practicing the ecological mode of P. quinquefolius under understory planting.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the short-term clinical efficacy and safety of closed reduction with Kirschner wire fixation versus open reduction with plate fixation for treating osteoporotic Colles' fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients. METHODS: Between January 2018 and January 2023, 119 patients with Colles fractures were retrospectively analyzed, including 39 males and 80 females, aged from 48 to 74 years old with an average of(60.58±6.71) years old. The time from injury to operation ranged 1 to 13 days with an average of (5.29±2.52) days. According to the surgical method, they were divided into Kirschner wire fixation group (Kirschner wire group) and plate internal fixation group (plate group). In Kirschner wire group, there were a total of 68 patients, comprising 21 males and 47 females. The average age was (61.15±6.24) years old, ranged from 49 to 74 years old. Among them, 41 cases involved the left side while 27 cases involved the right side. In the plate group, there were a total of 51 patients, including 18 males and 33 females. The average age was (59.78±5.71) years old ranged from 48 to 72 years old. Among them, there were 31 cases on the left side and 20 cases on the right side. The following parameters were recorded before and after the operation:operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization days, hospitalization expenses, postoperative complications, and radiographic parameters of distal radius (distal radius height, ulnar deviation angle, palmar tilt angle). The clinical efficacy was evaluated at 3 and 12 months after the operation using Gartland-Werley and disabilites of the arm shoulder and hand (DASH) scores. RESULTS: The patients in both groups were followed up for a duration from 12 to 19 months with an average of(13.32±2.02) months. The Kirschner wire group exhibited significantly shorter operation time compared to the plate group 27.91(13.00, 42.00) min vs 67.52(29.72, 105.32) min, Z=-8.74, P=0.00. Intraoperative blood loss was also significantly lower in the Kirschner wire group than in the plate group 3.24(1.08, 5.40) ml vs 21.91(17.38, 26.44) ml, Z=-9.31, P=0.00. Furthermore, patients in the Kirschner wire group had a shorter length of hospital stay compared to those in the plate group (8.38±2.63) days vs (11.40±2.78) days, t=-3.12, P=0.00. Additionally, hospitalization cost was significantly lower in the Kirschner wire group than in the plate group 10 111.29(6 738.98, 13 483.60) yuan vs 15 871.11(11 690.40, 20 051.82) yuan, Z=-5.62, P=0.00. The incidence of complications was 2 cases in the Kirschner wire group and 1 case in the plate group, with no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). At 3 months postoprative, the radial height of the Kirschner wire group was found to be significantly smaller than that of the plate group, with measurements of (11.45±1.69) mm and (12.11±1.78) mm respectively (t=-2.06, P=0.04). However, there were no statistically significant differences observed in ulnar deviation angle and palmar tilt angle between the two groups (P>0.05). The DASH score and Gartland-Werley score in the Kirschner group were significantly higher than those in the plate group at 3 months post-operation (19.10±9.89) vs (13.47±3.51), t=4.34, P=0.00;(11.15±3.61) vs (6.41±2.75), t=8.13, P=0.00). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups at 12 months post-operation (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Compared to plate internal fixation, closed reduction with Kirschner wire support fixation yields a slightly inferior recovery of radial height;however, there is no significant disparity in the functional score of the affected limb at 12 months post-operation. Nonetheless, this technique offers advantages such as shorter operation time, reduced intraoperative blood loss, decreased hospitalization duration, and lower cost.

This study investigated a novel coronary knobby scoring balloon through finite element analysis (FEA) and in vitro anti-slippage testing, evaluating its dilation process under various vascular conditions and comparing it with other balloons. The FEA results indicated that in the cases of healthy artery and diseased artery with different stenosis rates, the stress on the vessels caused by the knobby scoring balloon was significantly smaller than that of the scoring balloon, and was close to that of the plain balloon. In vitro anti-slippage testing showed that the slippage distance of a plain balloon was 0.11±0.06 mm, and there was no slippage for knobby scoring balloon under nominal pressure. Knobby scoring balloon can effectively expand calcified lesion while providing anti-slippage function, and has a lower risk of vascular injury.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical value of endoscopic resection of duodenal papilla tumors with a maximum diameter greater than 3 cm. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of all 12 patients who underwent endoscopic resection of duodenal papilla tumors at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital (Xuhui Hospital), Fudan University and Rongcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2017 to May 2023. The size of the tumors all exceeded 3 cm. Results All 12 patients successfully completed the operation, with a complete resection rate of 91.7% (11/12) and an en-bloc resection rate of 91.7% (11/12). One patient experienced delayed bleeding due to unclosed wound during operation and received endoscopic hemostasis; 11 cases underwent partial wound closure operation with pancreatic and biliary stent placement, without perforation or postoperative stenosis. Among them, 2 cases (18.2%) experienced delayed bleeding and received endoscopic hemostasis treatment. After operation, 1 case (8.3%) experienced nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, and elevated blood amylase levels, who was later treated conservatively. During the mean follow-up period of 30.5 (1.0-69.0) months, 1 patient experienced recurrence and underwent surgical resection. Conclusions Endoscopic resection of duodenal papilla tumors can treat large diameter duodenal papilla tumors exceeding 3 cm, but postoperative complications may occur and require special attention. Postoperative placement of pancreatic and biliary stents and wound closure may reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective:To analyze the pregnancy outcomes in patients with positive anti-centromere antibodies(ACA)receiving in vitro fertilization(IVF)-embryo transfer(ET)and natural conception.Methods:A case-control study was used to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 3955 patients who received IVF-ET therapy and had the results of antinuclear antibody(ANA)spectrum at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from June 2016 to June 2023.Patients with positive ACA and negative ACA were matched at a ratio of 1∶3 using propensity score matching.Embryo outcomes of IVF were compared between the two groups,and the impact of different fertilization methods and the use of immunosuppressants on pregnancy outcomes were analyzed using self-matching.The natural conception and disease progress were followed up for ACA-positive patients after IVF failure.Results:The ACA-positive patients accounted for 0.86%of all IVF patients(34/3955)and 2.51%of total ANA-positive IVF patients.Regardless of whether patients received conventional IVF(c-IVF)or intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI),the ACA-positive group exhibited significant differences in oocyte maturity and fertilization compared to the ACA-negative group(both P＜0.01).Moreover,the ACA-positive group had a decreased number of D3 suboptimal embryos and D3 optimal embryos(both P＜0.05).In 5 cases of ACA-positive patients who underwent ICSI cycles,the two pronucleus(2PN)rate did not increase compared to c-IVF cycles(P＞0.05),and there was a decrease in the number of D3 high-quality embryos and D3 suboptimal embryos(both P＜0.05).After 1-2 months of immuno-suppressant treatment,12 ACA-positive patients underwent c-IVF/ICSI again,and there were no changes in egg retrieval and fertilization before and after medication(both P＞0.05),but there was an improvement in the 2PN embryo cleavage rate(P＜0.05).The number of embryos transferred was similar between the ACA-positive and negative groups,but the ACA-positive group had significantly lower embryo implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate compared to the ACA-negative group(both P＜0.05),with no significant differences in the miscarriage rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).Twenty-seven ACA-positive patients attempted natural conception or artificial insemination after IVF failure,resulting in a total of 7 cases of clinical pregnancy.Conclusions:Serum ACA positivity may disrupt oocyte maturation and normal fertilization processes,with no improvement observed with ICSI and immunosuppressant use.However,ACA-positive patients may still achieve natural pregnancy.

Central post-stroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain syndrome occurring after a cerebrovascular accident, is characterized by pain or paraesthesia in the part of the body dominated by the area of the brain where blood vessels are injured. CPSP patients are often accompanied by anxiety, depression and other emotional disorders, which have a serious negative impact on patients' quality of life. However, the pathogenesis of CPSP has not been fully elucidated, the clinical diagnosis rate is not high, and the commonly used treatment methods are not effective. This article reviews the clinical features, epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment of CPSP in order to provide reference for the elucidation of CPSP mechanism and effective treatment.
