With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a girl with primary microcephaly and growth retardation.Methods:A girl who was admitted to Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the child and her parents. Trio whole exome sequencing was carried out, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethnics Committee of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No. 202201278).Results:DNA sequencing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the WDR62 gene, including a frameshifting c. 2963delC (p.Pro988Argfs*80) variant in exon 24 which was inherited from the unaffected father, and a nonsense c.3163G>T (p.Glu1055*) variant in exon 26, which was inherited from her unaffected mother. Both variants were predicted to affect the reading frame of the WDR62 gene. Conclusion:Based on the clinical manifestations, results of genetic testing and pedigree analysis, the compound heterozygous variants were predicted to underlay the pathogenesis of microcephaly and growth retardation in this child. Above discovery has expanded the mutational spectrum for WDR62-associated Primary microcephaly type 2, and facilitated genetic counseling for the family.

Postpartum lumbopelvic pain(PLPP)occurs in women during the period from pregnancy to the puerperium.Its root cause lies in the deficiency of qi and blood,and the key pathogenesis is the imbalance of qi and blood,leading to meridian blockage.When treating PLPP clinically,it is essential to focus on its pathogenesis and address both the root and the symptoms.Acupuncture points from the spleen meridian,stomach meridian,kidney meridian,conception vessel,and governor vessel are selected to tonify qi,nourish blood,replenish the kidneys,and fill essence to treat the root.Acupuncture points from the liver meridian,heart meridian,and bladder meridian are chosen to regulate qi,activate blood,calm the mind,and dispel cold and dampness to alleviate the symptoms.Ultimately,this approach aims to achieve a state of harmonious qi and blood and smooth meridians,providing a clinical acupuncture strategy for the treatment of PLPP.

Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS) is a rare developmental malformation, usually caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGFR2) or cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) genes. This article reports an 18-year-old male patient with both ulcerative colitis and ABS to explore the possible association between the two diseases, to raise clinicians' awareness, and to provide reference value for early diagnosis and treatment in the future.

Objective:Based on the theoretical domain framework, the factors that affect early ambulation in patients with mechanical ventilation were analyzed to provide evidence for improving the rehabilitation effect of patients.Methods:The mixed method of systematic review and qualitative study were adopted. Studies about factors affecting early activity of patients with mechanical ventilation searched from Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, VIP database, Wanfang Database, CNKI and SinoMed published from inception to March 19, 2024. Following literature screening and data extraction, Nvivo11 qualitative research software, content analysis and rooted theory were used to encode the text data at three levels, and the logical relationship of influencing factors were linked.Results:A total of 24 articles were selected, 351 coding elements were encoded into 14 theoretical domains, 35 secondary nodes and 42 three-level nodes were concluded. The number of coding points involving "environmental context and resources" theory domain is the largest (115 coding points), followed by the "social influences" theory domain (42 coding points). Pareto diagram was used to order and analyze the frequency of influencing factors. Patients′ physical condition (45 times) and occupational role characteristics (22 times) were the most influential single factors on early activity.Conclusions:The influencing factors of early ambulation of patients with mechanical ventilation involve all theoretical domains, and are both pluralism, blending and complex.

Objective:To investigate the attention level of oral medicine residents in standardized training (referred to as residency training) to oral aesthetic information and its influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study, which included 262 residents undergoing standardized training at Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University in January 2020. Among them, there were 73 males and 189 females, with an age range of 23-33 (26±2) years. A questionnaire survey method was used, and the questionnaire included the basic characteristics of the subjects (gender, grade, major, identity, and having training experience in prosthodontic base or not) as well as their attention to oral aesthetic information (facial proportions, facial midline, smile line, facial contour, E-line, nasolabial angle, tooth shape and contour, and tooth proportions). Differences in the attention to oral aesthetic information among residents with different basic characteristics were compared, and a multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors.Results:Among the 262 oral medicine residents, 256 (97.7%) believed that it was necessary to pay attention to oral aesthetic information. The differences in attention to facial proportions between residents of different genders and between those with and without training experience in the prosthodontic base were statistically significant (both P<0.05). The results of the multivariate logistic regression showed that male residents were less likely to pay attention to facial proportions compared with female residents ( OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.23-0.88). Compared with residents specializing in orthodontics, non-orthodontic residents were less likely to pay attention to the E-line ( OR=0.14-0.27, 95% CI: 0.04-0.68) and nasolabial angle ( OR=0.14-0.31, 95% CI: 0.04-0.81). Residents who were graduate students with integrated four certificates were more likely to pay attention to the E-line compared with industry-based personnel ( OR=1.88, 95% CI: 1.01-3.49). Residents without training experience in the prosthodontic base were less likely to pay attention to the facial proportion ( OR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.20-0.97) and tooth shape and contour ( OR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.11-0.98) compared with those with such training experience in prosthodontic base. Conclusions:Oral medicine residents have a high level of attention to oral aesthetic information. Gender, major, identity, and having training experience in the prosthodontic base or not are factors that influence their attention to oral aesthetic information.
