Objective To investigate the current level of public awareness regarding nuclear emergency evacuation around a nuclear power plant, analyze the influencing factors, and propose suggestions and countermeasures based on the results. Methods In July 2024, according to the survey protocol and questionnaire developed by the National Institute for Radiological Protection, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a field-based centralized online questionnaire was administered. A total of 854 residents living near the nuclear power plant were included as survey participants. An analysis of variance was used to compare the impact of different factors on the public knowledge of nuclear radiation and awareness of nuclear emergency evacuation, while the chi-square test was employed to compare differences between groups. Results A total of 854 questionnaires were collected in this study. The survey revealed that the levels of public knowledge about nuclear radiation and awareness of nuclear emergency evacuation around the power plant were relatively low, with average objective awareness rates of 51% and 47%, respectively. In terms of age, the 30-45 years old group had the highest average score, while the group aged 60 and above had the lowest. Regarding education level, the group with primary school education or below had the lowest average score, whereas those with junior college or undergraduate education scored the highest. The internet (73.7%) was the primary source of emergency information for the public, followed by television (61.7%). The majority of the public (85.0%) expressed trust in the government during evacuation and were willing to follow governmental evacuation arrangements. The main reason for this willingness was the belief that the government could provide sufficient emergency supplies. Conclusion The surveyed population exhibited low levels of knowledge regarding nuclear radiation and awareness of nuclear emergency evacuation, with generally low awareness rates. Awareness levels were influenced by factors such as sex, age, educational background, and distance from the nuclear power plant. To enhance public awareness, it is necessary to strengthen science communication related to nuclear radiation and public protective actions in nuclear emergencies. Targeted dissemination strategies with high communication effectiveness, accessibility, and public acceptance should be adopted to gradually enhance public awareness of nuclear radiation and nuclear emergency protective actions.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of O-arm navigation and C-arm navigation for guiding percutaneous long sacroiliac screws in treatment of Denis type Ⅱ sacral fractures. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data of the 46 patients with Denis type Ⅱ sacral fractures between April 2021 and October 2022. Among them, 19 patients underwent O-arm navigation assisted percutaneous long sacroiliac screw fixation (O-arm navigation group), and 27 patients underwent C-arm navigation assisted percutaneous long sacroiliac screw fixation (C-arm navigation group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, causes of injuries, Tile classification of pelvic fractures, combined injury, the interval from injury to operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative preparation time, the placement time of each screw, the fluoroscopy time of each screw during placement, screw position accuracy, the quality of fracture reduction, and fracture healing time were recorded and compared, postoperative complications were observed. Pelvic function was evaluated by Majeed score at last follow-up. RESULTS: All operations were completed successfully, and all incisions healed by first intention. Compared to the C-arm navigation group, the O-arm navigation group had shorter intraoperative preparation time, placement time of each screw, and fluoroscopy time, with significant differences ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in screw position accuracy and the quality of fracture reduction ( P>0.05). There was no nerve or vascular injury during screw placed in the two groups. All patients in both groups were followed up, with the follow-up time of 6-21 months (mean, 12.0 months). Imaging re-examination showed that both groups achieved bony healing, and there was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). During follow-up, there was no postoperative complications, such as screw loosening and breaking or loss of fracture reduction. At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in pelvic function between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with the C-arm navigation, the O-arm navigation assisted percutaneous long sacroiliac screws for the treatment of Denis typeⅡsacral fractures can significantly shorten the intraoperative preparation time, screw placement time, and fluoroscopy time, improve the accuracy of screw placement, and obtain clearer navigation images.

Objective To analyze and explore the health response capability construction in the long-term recovery phase of nuclear or radiological emergencies. Methods By evaluating China’s participation in an international nuclear emergency exercise organized by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Nuclear Energy Agency, and considering the relevant guidelines published by international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the sections that need to be strengthened in the health response during the long-term recovery phase of nuclear or radiological emergencies were analyzed. The related issues such as health monitoring and medical follow-up were explored. Results The tasks in the long-term recovery phase mainly include monitoring the affected population and information management, medical follow-up, and psychological assistance. In response to potential nuclear or radiological emergencies, 22 nuclear emergency medical rescue bases have been established in China, with a geographical distribution that includes key regions. Relevant institutions have basic capabilities of health response to nuclear or radiological emergencies. However, the exercise shows that strategy and capacity construction in long-term recovery phase are weak points in health response to nuclear or radiological emergencies. China should further strengthen strategies in major public protection actions and information management of affected populations in nuclear or radiological emergencies. Conclusion It is recommended to develop standard operating procedures for major public protection actions, long-term health monitoring and evaluation of affected populations, medical follow-up, and psychological assistance in the future. A unified health registration system for affected populations in nuclear or radiological emergencies should be established to further enhance China’s health response capabilities during the long-term recovery phase of nuclear or radiological emergencies.

After the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima nuclear accidents, numerous issues were exposed during the emergency evacuation process, such as insufficiently detailed emergency plans, lack of specific evacuation route schemes, inadequate preparation of emergency protective materials, and delays in emergency response decision-making. Additionally, these accidents revealed serious issues with the emergency evacuation of vulnerable populations. In particular, during the Fukushima nuclear accident, the lack of resource support led to deteriorating health and fatalities among hospital patients and elderly residents in nursing homes near the nuclear power plant during emergency evacuation. To learn from the experiences and lessons of public protection actions in emergency evacuations during major nuclear accidents, the government should enhance the guidance of nuclear emergency evacuation plans, increase the quality of emergency training and exercises, and improve their specificity and continuity, as well as establish an efficient nuclear emergency rescue response and decision-making mechanism. For vulnerable populations in nuclear emergency evacuations, the government should consider updating the nuclear emergency plans and disaster preparedness material reserves of medical facilities (such as designated treatment hospitals) and elderly facilities (such as nursing homes) within the emergency protection action areas of nuclear power plants in a timely manner. This will ensure that these institutions have the capacity to provide initial evacuation and necessary support for vulnerable populations in disaster situations.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of TNFSF14 on mitochondrial function in ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury(I/R-AKI)and its mechanism.TNFSF14-/-and TNFSF14+/+mice underwent renal ischemia-reperfusion operation to establish I/R-AKI models,and their histopathology changes were compared by using Periodic Acid-Schiff stain,transmission electron microscopy.Immunohistochemistry(IHC)was used to detect levels of TNFSF14,HVEM,LT[3R,mitochondrial activity related proteins(Dpr1 and Mfn2)and inflammatory cells infiltration in kidney tissues of mice and relevant patients.In vitro cell experiments,immunofluorescence and immunoblotting were used to observe the effects of exogenous recombinant TNFSF14 factor on the damage and mitochondrial activity of renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 cells.Data showed that the expression of TNFSF14 and its receptors were significantly increased in kidney tissues of I/R-AKI mice and clinical human renal tissues of acute tubular injury.Compared with the sham group,I/R mice showed significantly higher levels of renal tubular injury score,inflammatory cells infiltration,cell apoptosis,mitochondrial damage,and Drp1 expression,while knocking out the TNFSF14 gene,the above indicators were significantly reduced.In vitro,exogenous TNFSF14 stimulation could aggravate the hypoxia-induced apoptosis and the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential in HK-2 cells,while increasing phosphorylation of Drp1 at Se616 to promote its transfer from cytoplasm to mitochondria,leading to an abnormal increase in mitochondrial fission.In conclusions,TNFSF14 may mediate the pathological process of I/R-AKI by promoting mitochondrial damage.

Bone defects caused by different causes such as trauma, severe bone infection and other factors are common in clinic and difficult to treat. Usually, bone substitutes are required for repair. Current bone grafting materials used clinically include autologous bones, allogeneic bones, xenografts, and synthetic materials, etc. Other than autologous bones, the major hurdles of rest bone grafts have various degrees of poor biological activity and lack of active ingredients to provide osteogenic impetus. Bone marrow contains various components such as stem cells and bioactive factors, which are contributive to osteogenesis. In response, the technique of bone marrow enrichment, based on the efficient utilization of components within bone marrow, has been risen, aiming to extract osteogenic cells and factors from bone marrow of patients and incorporate them into 3D scaffolds for fabricating bone grafts with high osteoinductivity. However, the scientific guidance and application specification are lacked with regard to the clinical scope, approach, safety and effectiveness. In this context, under the organization of Chinese Orthopedic Association, the Expert consensus for the clinical application of autologous bone marrow enrichment technique for bone repair ( version 2023) is formulated based on the evidence-based medicine. The consensus covers the topics of the characteristics, range of application, safety and application notes of the technique of autologous bone marrow enrichment and proposes corresponding recommendations, hoping to provide better guidance for clinical practice of the technique.

Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.
