BACKGROUND: The achievement of an optimal return to sport (RTS) has remained a key goal after sports-related injuries, with the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of different surgical approaches for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. This study aims to assess clinical outcomes and RTS across various surgical methods, such as anatomical single-bundle reconstruction (ASBR), central-axial single-bundle reconstruction (CASBR), and double-bundle reconstruction (DBR). METHODS: A randomized clinical trial was conducted, comprising 191 patients who underwent ACL rupture. These patients were divided into three groups based on the ACL reconstruction techniques they received (ASBR, CASBR, DBR). Over the 2-year follow-up period, the study assessed RTS through four single-hop tests, isokinetic extension tests, and limb asymmetry indices. Postoperative graft status was determined using the signal-to-noise quotient (SNQ), while knee function was evaluated using the International Knee Documentation Committee 2000 (IKDC-2000) score, Lysholm score, Tegner score, and degree of knee laxity. A binary logistic regression model was developed to forecast the factors influencing ideal RTS. RESULTS: DBR (67.63%) and CASBR (58.00%) exhibited higher RTS passing rates compared to ASBR (30.39%; χ2 = 19.57, P <0.05). Quadriceps strength symmetry in the lower limbs was identified as the key determinant of RTS ( χ2 = 17.08, P <0.05). The RTS rate was influenced by SNQs of the graft's tibial site (odds ratio: 0.544) and quadriceps strength of the reconstructed knee joint at 60°/s (odds ratio: 6.346). Notably, the DBR group showed enhanced knee stability, evidenced by superior results in the Lachman test ( χ2 = 13.49, P <0.01), objective IKDC-2000 ( χ2 = 27.02, P = 0.002), and anterior instability test ( χ2 = 9.46, P <0.01). Furthermore, DBR demonstrated superior clinical outcomes based on the Lysholm score (DBR: 89.57 ± 7.72, CASBR: 83.00 ± 12.71, ASBR: 83.21 ± 11.95; F = 10.452, P <0.01) and IKDC-2000 score (DBR: 90.95 ± 7.00, CASBR: 84.64 ± 12.68, ASBR: 83.63 ± 11.41; F = 11.78, P <0.01). CONCLUSION: For patients with ACL rupture, more ideal RTS rate and clinical outcomes were shown in the DBR group than in the ASBR and CASBR groups. Autograft status and quadriceps strength are postively related to RTS. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05400460).

(±)-Talapyrones A-F (1-6), six pairs of dimeric polyketide enantiomers featuring unusual 6/6/6 and 6/6/6/5 ring systems, were isolated from the fungus Talaromyces adpressus. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and HR-ESI-MS data, and their absolute configurations were elucidated using a modified Mosher's method and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. (±)-Talapyrones A-F (1-6) possess a 6/6/6 tricyclic skeleton, presumably formed through a Michael addition reaction between one molecule of α-pyrone derivative and one molecule of C₈ poly-β-keto chain. In addition, compounds 2/3 and 4/5 are two pairs of C-18 epimers, respectively. Putative biosynthetic pathways of 1-6 were discussed.

In cardiac ablation procedures,the accuracy of catheter positioning determines the authenticity of the cardiac model and the accuracy of the ablation target.This article reviews the literature on catheter positioning in electrophysiology and summarizes the key technologies for catheter positioning,such as magnetic-electric fusion and interference suppression.Addressing the limitations of electric and magnetic positioning individually,the paper elaborates on the rationale for catheter positioning technology based on magnetic-electric fusion.It also outlines the framework of a complex catheter positioning system.Specifically,the magnetoelectric conversion matrix is established first,followed by the optimization of the catheter shape.The interference factors such as magnetic field interference,body movement,respiration,and heartbeat in catheter positioning and their suppression methods are analyzed and discussed in detail.Finally,the development trend of three-dimensional electrophysiology catheter positioning technology is prospected,offering feasible insights for the research on catheter positioning technology based on magnetic-electric fusion.

Objective:To explore the changes in early postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength following the implementation of the new labor process.Methods:This retrospective cohort study selected 1 834 primiparous women with singleton, full-term pregnancies who delivered at Peking University First Hospital from February 2011 to March 2016 and had a pelvic floor re-examination 6-8 weeks postpartum. Out of these, 738 cases who followed the old labor process before 2014 were categorized as the old process group, and 1 096 cases who followed the new labor process after 2014 were categorized as the new process group. Basic data, childbirth information, and postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength of the two groups were compared. Data were statistically analyzed using t-test, Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and ordered multicategory logistic regression to assess the impact of the new and old labor process and other factors on pelvic floor muscle strength. Results:The total duration of labor, as well as the duration of the first, second, and third stages of labor, were longer in the new process group than in the old process group [549.0 min (360.0-768.0 min) vs. 482.5 min (328.0-635.0 min), 465.0 min (297.5-672.5 min) vs. 420.0 min (285.0-555.0 min), 42.0 min (24.0-74.0 min) vs. 27.0 min (18.0-45.0 min), with Z-value of－5.72,－3.95, and－9.28, all P<0.05). The rates of vaginal delivery and labor analgesia were higher in the new process group [72.1% (790/1 096) vs. 67.2% (496/738), χ2=7.41; 67.4% (739/1 096) vs. 53.4% (394/738), χ2=36.82; both P<0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in the comparison of Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ muscle strength grades between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:There was no significant decline in early postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength following the implementation of the new labor process standards.

Objective:To evaluate left ventricular myocardial work in pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) in the third trimester by the non-invasive technical parameters of pressure-strain loop(PSL), and to explore its predictive value of risk of perinatal adverse events.Methods:From October 2020 to October 2021, 70 pregnant women of IGT and 50 healthy pregnant women in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital were included, and a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) was performed at 24-28 weeks. Then their routine obstetric examinations were followed up until one week postpartum and perinatal adverse events were recorded, such as diabetic mother-infant syndrome, macrosomia, et al. After 36 weeks of pregnancy before childbirth, echocardiography was performed and dynamic images of 3-5 cardiac cycles at apical four-chamber view, three-chamber view, and two-chamber view were recorded.Simultaneously, pressure-strain loop(PSL) curve, left ventricular global longitudinal strain(GLS), global work index(GWI), global constructive work(GCW), global wasted work(GWW) and global work efficiency(GWE) were calculated through the EchoPAC 203 workstation. Then the differences of all parameters were compared between the two groups. And a prediction model for perinatal adverse events was built by binary logistic regression, and ROC curve was used to analyze the prediction efficiencies of the prediction model and each independent influencing factor.Results:Compared with the control group, the absolute values of GLS, GWI and GCW of IGT group were lower(all P<0.05). The incidence of perinatal adverse events of the IGT group, including adverse pregnancy outcomes and neonatal adverse outcomes, was higher than that in the control group( P<0.05). According to logistic regression model, the GLS, GWI, GCW and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2-hPBG) were independent influencing factors for perinatal complications(all P<0.05); in addition, ROC curve anaysis showed the area under the curve of the predictive model based on the influencing factors, GLS, GWI, GWE and 2-h PBG were respectively 0.903, 0.820, 0.879, 0.854 and 0.771. Conclusions:The parameters of PSL can quantitatively assess the changes of left ventricular myocardial work in pregnancy women with IGT; and the incidence of perinatal adverse events in IGT pregnant women is higher; GWI, GCW, the models constructed based on GLS, GWI, GCW and 2-hPBG have potential values in predicting the risk of perinatal adverse events.

Taking the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology as an example, this paper expounds a series of practices of online education, in the process from pre-course training, platform selection, curriculum design, to student evaluation, etc. From that, we can provide a reference for carrying out online teaching in response to the epidemic for clinical medical colleges which have not been exposed to the online course. Furthermore, it is a new attempt to explore a way to make a change of the traditional teaching method and deepen the reform of clinical teaching in our hospital after the epidemic, not only in professional medical education, but also in the popularization of medical knowledge.

Objective:To investigate a cluster epidemic of COVID-19 after a mass gathering activity in Ningbo of Zhejiang province and analyze the transmission chain and status of infection cases of different generations.Methods:The tracking of all the close contacts of the first COVID-19 case and epidemiological investigation were conducted on January 29, 2020 after a cluster epidemic of COVID-19 related with a Buddhism rally on January 19 (the 1.19 rally) in Ningbo occurred. The swabs of nose/throat of the cases and close contacts were collected and tested for nucleic acids by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR.Results:From January 26 to February 20, 2020, a total of 67 COVID-19 cases and 15 asymptomatic infection cases related with the 1.19 rally were reported in Ningbo. The initial case was the infection source who infected 29 second generation cases and 4 asymptomatic infection cases, in whom 23 second generation cases and 3 asymptomatic infection cases once took bus with the initial case, the attack rate was 33.82% (23/68) and the infection rate was 38.24% (26/68). The risks of suffering from COVID-19 and being infected were 28.91 times and 26.01 times higher in rally participants taking bus with initial case compared with those taking no bus with initial case. In this epidemic, 37 third+generation cases and 11 related asymptomatic infection cases occurred, the attack rate was 2.88% (37/1 283) and the infection rate was 4.76% (48/1 008). The main transmission routes included vehicle sharing and family transmission.Conclusion:It was a cluster epidemic of COVID-19 caused by a super spreader in a massive rally. The epidemic has been under effective control.

Objective To study the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Zellweger syndrome caused by PEX1 gene mutation.Method The clinical data of 2 neonates with Zellweger syndrome admitted to the Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The databases of CNKI,Wipp and Wanfang were retrieved with “peroxisomal disease”,“Zellweger syndrome”,“Zellweger pedigree disorder”,and “PEX1 gene” as key words and the human gene mutation database (HGMD) was retrieved with “PEX1” as the gene name.The biomedical literature database (PubMed),Web of Science database and Embase database were retrieved with “Zellweger syndrome”,“Zellweger spectrum disorder PEX1 gene” as key words.All the databases were retrieved up to Nov 8,2018 to summarize the clinical phenotype and genotype characteristics of children with Zellweger syndrome.Result A total of 2 neonates with Zellweger syndrome were admitted to our Hospital,including 1 male and 1 female.Both the newborns presented with hypotonia,feeding difficulties clinically and showed dilated cerebral ventricles in neuroimaging.They were detected compound heterozygous for PEX1 mutations.Case 1 with the variants [NM_000466:exon 12:c.2050C＞T (p.Q684X);NM_000466:exon20:c.3043G＞T(p.E1015X)] have suffered from seizure at 2 months old.Case 2 with the variants [NM_000466.2:exon5:c.892_895dupTATA (p.Asn299IlefsTer2);NM_000466:exon19:c.2927-2delA] died in the neonatal period.No cases of newborn Zellweger syndrome caused by PEX1 gene mutation have been reported in China.There was a total of 6 articles and 13 cases were reported from foreign literature databases.All the cases presented as hypotonia,abnormal liver function,wide sutures (large fontanelle),hypertelorism and broad nasal bridge clinically.2 newborns carrying 2 missense variants were diagnosed as mild Zellweger spectrum disorder and atypical Zellweger syndrome the 10 newborns with 2 variants typed frameshift,nonsense or splice site were diagnosed as Zellweger syndrome.Conclusion Zellweger syndrome caused by defective gene PEX1 manifested as hypotonia,abnormal liver function,wide sutures (large fontanelle),hypertelorism and broad nasal bridge in neonatal period.Newborns with frameshift,nonsense or splice site variants in PEX1 have more severe clinical phenotypical features.

Objective: To investigate the current status of prevention and control of occupational hazards in a city in 2017, to understand the capability to prevent and control occupational hazards and the level of occupational health supervision and management, and to propose measures to urge employers to assume the main responsibility for the prevention and control of occupational diseases. Methods: An analysis of the main factors influencing the prevention and control of occupational hazards in the city was performed to screen out six semi-quantitative assessment indicators (including the training of the main responsible persons and occupational health management personnel in companies) and four qualitative assessment indicators (including the coverage of supervision and inspection of occupational hazards performed by the district safety supervision department) , which could be used to measure the prevention and control effects of regional occupational hazards. Each indicator was scored. The typical investigation method was used to do data review and on-site inspection of 170 companies, 17 district-level occupational health supervision departments, and 16 sub-district (township) occupational health supervision departments in the city from October to December, 2017. The prevention and control of occupational diseases in each district was scored, and the completion rate and completion situation of each indicator in the city were analyzed. Results: The mean score of prevention and control of occupational hazards in the city was 84.9. The scores of two districts were relatively high, being 88.9 and 88.7, respectively; the scores of 9 (52.9%) districts were higher than 85. The pass rate of training for the main responsible persons and occupational health management personnel in companies in the city was 95.9%, the pass rate of occupational health training for workers was 84.7%, the pass rate of occupational health examination for workers was 96.5%, the pass rate for the inspection of occupational hazardous factors in workplaces was 95.3%, the pass rate for notifying occupational hazards in workplaces is 95.9%, and the pass rate for applying the warning signs of occupational hazards in workplaces was 76.5%. Conclusion The awareness of the importance of prevention and control of occupational hazards in all districts of the city has been increased, but the effectiveness of occupational health training for workers needs to be strengthened. The supply and demand of occupational health technical services are still not matched, and the ways and methods of occupational health supervision and inspection need to be improved.

Objective A classification for hepatic venous outflow obstruction after piggyback liver transplantation (PBLT) and its clinical significance.Methods We conducted a retrospective study on 248 patients who underwent liver transplantation from May 2000 to August 2006.The aims were to elucidate the causes and treatment of postoperative venous outflow obstruction.Results Venous outflow obstruction occurred in 38 patients after transplantation.Among those,2 (5.26％) had superior hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis,13 (34,21％) had the hepatic vein anastomosis twisted at an angle,7 (18.42％) had IVC stenosis at the posthepatic segment,and 16 (42.10％) had outflow obstruction at the hepatic veins.In these 38 patients,34 underwent PBLT,2 underwent APBLT,and 2 COLT.Most patients with hepatic venous outflow obstruction improved with surgical treatment and interventional therapy.Conclusions Hepatic vein outflow obstruction was associated with the technique of hepatic vein anastomosis,the type of cavocaval anastomosis and graft size mismatch between the donor and the recipient.Performing piggyback liver transplantation according to the classification of hepatic vein and appropriate treatments could improve the prognosis of venous outflow obstruction in clinical practice.
