Lipid turbidity disease is a metabolic disease featuring lipid metabolism disorders caused by many factors such as social environment, diet, and lifestyle, which is closely related to many diseases in modern medicine, such as hyperlipidemia, obesity, fatty liver, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, with a wide range of influence and far-reaching harm. According to the Huangdi Neijing, lipid turbidity disease reflects the pathological change of the body's physiologic grease. Grease is the thick part of body fluids, which has the function of nourishing, and it is the initial state and source of important substances in the human body such as brain, marrow, essence, and blood. Once the grease of the human body is abnormal, it can lead to lipid turbidity disease. The Huangdi Neijing also points out the physiological relationship between the transportation and transformation of body fluids and the rise and fall of the spleen and stomach, which can deduce the pathological relationship between the occurrence of lipid turbidity disease and the abnormal rise and fall of the spleen and stomach functions. Lipid turbidity disease is caused by overconsumption of fatty and sweet foods or insufficient spleen and stomach endowments, leading to disorders of the function of promoting clear and reducing turbidity in the spleen and stomach. This leads to the transformation of thick grease in body fluids into lipid turbidity, which accumulates in the body's meridians, blood vessels, skin pores, and organs, forming various forms of metabolic diseases. The research team believed that the pathological basis of lipid turbidity disease was the abnormal rise and fall of the spleen and stomach and the obstruction of the transfer of grease. According to the different locations where lipid turbidity stays, it was divided into four common pathogenesis types: ''inability to distinguish between the clear and turbid, turbid stagnation in the Ying blood'', ''spleen not rising clear, turbid accumulation in the vessels'', ''spleen dysfunction, lipid retention in the pores'', ''spleen failure to transportation and transformation, and grease accumulation in the liver''. According to the pathogenesis, it could be divided into four common syndromes, namely, turbid stagnation in the Ying blood, turbid accumulation in the vessels, lipid retention in the pores, and grease accumulation in the liver, and the corresponding prescriptions were given for syndrome differentiation and treatment, so as to guide clinical differentiation and treatment of the lipid turbidity disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the awareness and clinical practice of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B (2022 edition) among clinicians. MethodsFrom July 19 to December 31, 2024, a self-designed electronic questionnaire was distributed via the WeChat mini program to collect related data from 1 588 clinicians nationwide, including their awareness and practice based on 18 questions regarding testing and referral, diagnosis and treatment, and follow-up. ResultsAmong all respondents, only 350 clinicians correctly understood all the updated key points of antiviral indications and treatment for special populations in the 2022 edition of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B, with an overall awareness rate of 22.0%. Only 20% — 40% of the patients with positive HBV DNA and an age of >30 years receive antiviral therapy, while 80% — 100% of the patients with positive HBV DNA and a family history of hepatitis B cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma receive antiviral therapy. The median follow-up rates at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years were 67.5% 57.5% and 47.5%,respectively, showing a trend of gradual reduction, which might be associated with the influencing factors such as insufficient time for follow-up management by clinicians, insufficient awareness of the disease among patients, and poor adherence to follow-up. ConclusionThere is a gap between the awareness and practice of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B (2022 edition) among clinicians. It is recommended to further strengthen training and focus on the whole process of “detection, diagnosis, treatment, and management” for patients with chronic hepatitis B in healthcare institutions, in order to promote the implementation of the guidelines.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their predictive efficacy for postoperative premature epiphyseal closure in pediatric patients with distal tibial epiphyseal fractures.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 216 pediatric patients with distal tibial epiphyseal fractures admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopedics Hospital from January 2018 to December 2023, including 136 males and 80 females, aged 2-16 years [11.8(9.8, 13.3)years]. Among them, 112 patients were affected on the left side and 104 on the right. According to the Salter-Harris fracture classification, the fracture was classified as type I in 14 patients, type II in 97, type III in 38, type IV in 64 and type VI in 3. According to the presence of premature epiphyseal closure after surgery, the patients were divided into premature epiphyseal closure group ( n=38) and normal epiphyseal group ( n=178). Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), injury mechanism, side of injury, Salter-Harris classification of fracture, initial displacement distance of the fracture end, medial malleolar involvement by the fracture line surgical fixation method, operation duration, reduction method, and reduction quality were recorded in the two groups. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate and determine the independent risk factors for postoperative premature physeal closure in pediatric patients with distal tibial epiphyseal fracture. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each risk factor for the occurrence of premature physeal closure in pediatric patients with distal tibial epiphyseal fractures. Results:Univariate analysis showed the occurrence of postoperative premature epiphyseal closure of the distal tibia was associated with age, Salter-Harris fracture classification, medial malleolar involvement by the fracture line, surgical fixation method, reduction method, and reduction quality ( P<0.05), while it was not correlated with gender, BMI, injury mechanism, side of injury, initial displacement distance of the fracture end, and operation duration ( P>0.05). Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that medial malleolar involvement by the fracture line ( OR=0.18, 95% CI 0.04, 0.76, P<0.05) and reduction quality ( OR=43.18,95% CI 10.71, 174.05, P<0.01) were significantly correlated with the occurrence of postoperative premature epiphyseal closure of the distal tibia. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that medial malleolar involvement by the fracture line had limited predictive efficiency (AUC=0.53, 95% CI 0.43, 0.63), reduction quality had moderate predictive efficacy (AUC=0.81, 95% CI 0.72, 0.91), while their combination demonstrated even higher predictive efficacy (AUC=0.83, 95% CI 0.74, 0.91). Conclusions:Medial malleolar involvement by the fracture line and reduction quality are independent risk factors for postoperative premature epiphyseal closure in pediatric patients with distal tibial epiphyseal fractures. Reduction quality demonstrates good predictive efficacy, while medial malleolar involvement by the fracture line shows limited predictive value. The combination of both factors achieves even better predictive performance.

Objective:Given the insufficiency of current clinical biomarkers for early diagnosis of esophageal adenocarcinoma(EAC),this study developed a panel of serum protein biomarker assays using liquid-phase chip technology and preliminarily validated the detection capabilities of these markers for EAC.Methods:Collected serum samples from 48 patients with EAC and 33 age-matched healthy controls(HC).The levels of squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCCA),human cytokeratin 19 fragment(Cyfra21-1),hepatocyte growth factor(HGF)and IL-8 in serum were analyzed by liquid chip technology.The diagnostic efficacy of a single indicator and a combination of four indicators were evaluated by receiver operation characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:The detection ranges of SCCA,Cyfra21-1,HGF and IL-8 were 0.24~1 000 ng/ml,45.72~100 000 pg/ml,21.95~16 000 pg/ml,and 0.61~10 000 pg/ml,respectively.The liquid chip technology shows a strong correlation with clinical chemiluminescence immunoassay(r=0.949 4,P<0.000 1)and ELISA technology(r=0.955 1,P<0.000 1).Compared to the HC group,serum levels of SCCA and HGF were signifi-cantly elevated in the EAC group(P<0.01),IL-8 was significantly decreased(P<0.05),while Cyfra21-1 shows no significant difference(P>0.05).In the early EAC group,serum HGF was significantly higher than in the HC group(P<0.01).ROC curve analysis shows that among individual markers,HGF exhibits the best diagnostic efficacy for early EAC with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.761,while the AUC for the combination of the four biomarkers was 0.857,both superior to the clinical biomarkers SCCA(AUC=0.604)and Cyfra21-1(AUC=0.515).Conclusion:Liquid chip technology is used to jointly detect SCCA,Cyfra21-1,HGF,and IL-8 in human serum.In the early diagnosis of EAC,the diagnostic efficacy of the combined use of these four biomarkers is superior to that of the commonly used clinical tumor markers SCCA and Cyfra21-1.This advantage stems from the high throughput and high sensitivity characteristics of liquid-phase chip technology.Consequently,this combined detection method holds significant clinical application and is expected to provide a more accurate and reliable tool for the early diagnosis of EAC.
