Objective:To compare the changes in fracture displacement under different vertical loadings between the 2 different internal fixation modalities for vertically unstable femoral neck fractures of Pauwels type Ⅲ by a mechanical study and a finite element analysis.Methods:Twelve biomimic bones were transversely dissected from 10 cm below the lesser trochanter of the femur to create femoral neck fracture models with a Pauwels angle of 70° using a swing saw. The models were equally divided into 2 groups ( n=6): group A was fixed with 3 cannulated screws after fracture reduction (scheme A), and group B with 3 cannulated screws plus a self-designed anteromedial support plate after fracture reduction (scheme B). Continuous vertical force was applied using a mechanical testing machine. Changes in displacement were recorded and load-displacement curves were plotted. One volunteer (female, 28 years old, 168 cm in height and 65 kg in weight) was selected for finite element analysis of her CT images of both lower limbs to examine the maximum displacement and the maximum Mises stress in scheme A and scheme B respectively. Results:In groups A and B respectively: All the 6 biomimic mimetic bones had similar load and displacement curves, and similar fracture displacements (Dx) at different loading points (N X); the curves of 6 biomimic bones were highly fitted with S-shaped curve equation (the r-square value was close to 1).

Objective:
To analyze the relationship between the baseline BMI level and body mass index (BMI) changes of primary and middle school students and the blood pressure level and the risk of elevated blood pressure after 8 years of follow up(also known as the end stage), so as to provide a basis for the prevention and control of blood pressure in children and adolescents.
Methods:
The physical examination data of 9 748 primary and secondary school students were selected from a cohort study design in Longkou City, Shandong Province for 8 years from 2014 to 2022, and analyzed the association of baseline BMI level and BMI changes with end stage blood pressure level and the risk of elevated blood pressure. Chi square test was used to compare differences between groups, and the generalized linear model and Logistic regression model were used to analyze the effect of baseline BMI level and BMI changes on blood pressure level and elevated blood pressure after 8 year follow up.
Results:
Among non overweight and obesity group at baseline, the prevalence of high blood pressure was 9.1%. Among the overweight and obesity group, the prevalence of high blood pressure was 12.0%. Under different BMI status at baseline, the incidence of high blood pressure in boys was higher than that in girls. Compared with the BMI Z value≤-1 group, with the increase of BMI Z value, the systolic blood pressure level and the risk of high blood pressure gradually increased; with the BMI change continuously low as the control, sustained high and increased groups showed an increased risk of end stage high blood pressure ( OR=4.00, 2.21, P <0.01), and boys had a greater risk of elevated blood pressure.
Conclusion
Children and adolescents with higher baseline BMI level and increased BMI changes are at a higher risk of elevated blood pressure. Therefore, secondary school students should monitor the occurrence and development of blood pressure level in real time, and take comprehensive and effective measures to control the occurrence of elevated blood pressure level in childhood.
