Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects using superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap （SCIA PF） and radial forearm free flap （RFF）. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 90 patients with head, neck, and maxillofacial tumors who were treated in our department from June 2019 to January 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method used: the SCIA group（n=45）, who underwent reconstruction with SCIA PF, and the RFF group（n=45）, who received RFF reconstruction. Six months postoperatively, clinical efficacy was evaluated by comparing flap swelling, flap survival rate, and patient satisfaction. Oral function was assessed using standardized scoring systems before surgery, at 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery. Hemorheological parameters, including high-shear viscosity（shear rate 200/s）, low-shear viscosity（shear rate 30/s）, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate（ESR）, were also measured at each time point. Results:Compared with the RFF group, the SCIA group showed significantly larger flap size, longer flap harvesting and reconstruction times, earlier nasogastric tube removal and oral intake initiation, higher scores in all aspects of oral function, reduced flap edema and faster resolution, higher flap survival rates, and greater overall satisfaction （all P<0.05）. During the follow-up period （preoperative, 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery）, hemorheological indices including high-and low-shear viscosity, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, and ESR progressively decreased in the SCIA group （P<0.05）. In the RFF group, these parameters improved significantly by 6 months postoperatively compared with preoperatively and 1-week postoperatively, with a notable decrease in erythrocyte aggregation index at 6 months （P<0.05）. Conclusion:Compared with RFF, SCIA PF provides larger flaps, better functional recovery, higher patient satisfaction, improved flap survival, fewer complications, and more favorable hemorheological profiles following reconstructive surgery for oral and maxillofacial defects.

Depressive disorder is a common psychiatric condition clinically characterized by impaired cognitive function， which profoundly affects patients' daily living and social functioning. Despite extensive research on the mechanism underlying the interaction between ghrelin and depressive disorder， comprehensive reviews， summary， and systematic organization of these findings remain lacking. To address this gap， this study aims to conduct a systematic evaluation of the effects and mechanisms of ghrelin on cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder， thereby providing references for targeted clinical interventions. On October 20， 2024， literature exploring the role and mechanisms of ghrelin in improving cognitive function in depressive disorder was sourced from the CNKI， PubMed and Web of Science databases， covering the period from the inception of the database till October 20， 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction. Ultimately， 9 articles were included in this review. The findings suggest that ghrelin improves cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder through multiple mechanisms， including mitigating inflammatory responses， modulating oxidative stress， and activating the cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein-brain-derived neurotrophic factor （CREB-BDNF） signaling pathway.

The clinical and onset characteristics of patients with dengue fever were described.Results:Among 480 dengue patients, 442(92.1%) were dengue fever, 38(7.9%) were severe dengue, and 136(28.3%) had underlying diseases. The peak age of onset was mainly in young adults aged 20 to 49 years old, accounting for 66.0%(317/480) in total. The seasonal peak was mainly in August to October. There were 399(83.1%) local cases and 61(12.7%) imported cases. The most common clinical manifestations were fever (98.1%, 471/480), chills (72.9%, 350/480), headache (58.5%, 281/480) and bone/joint/muscle pain (67.1%, 322/480), followed by digestive tract symptoms and respiratory tract symptoms. Among 446 serum samples, 358 (80.3%) were dengue virus (DENV)-1, 54 (12.1%) were DENV-2, 34 (7.6%) were DENV-3. The main laboratory tests of the patients were leucopenia (65.8%, 316/480), low hematocrit (30.2%, 145/480), thrombocytopenia (48.3%, 232/480), neutropenia (44.8%, 215/480), elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (37.7%, 181/480) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (59.4%, 285/480). Treatment mainly adopted symptomatic support treatment and active prevention of complications. The length of stay was (5.8±3.1) days (range 1.0-38.0 days). A total of 461(96.0%) patients were cured or improved.Conclusions:In 2019, the majority of dengue fever patients in Guangdong Province are young adults aged 20 to 49 years old, and the proportion of severe patients is high, with DENV-1 infection as the main type. After symptomatic support treatment and active prevention of complications, most of the dengue fever patients have a good prognosis.

Objective To make finite element analysis and compressive performance test on three-dimensional (3D) printed personalized poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) condyle prosthesis, so as to analyze stress distribution characteristics and mechanical properties of the prosthesis, and to evaluate its clinical value and prospect. Methods The finite element models of PEEK condyle prosthesis, mandible and fixation screw were established by software such as CBCT, Mimics, Geomagic Studio, SolidWorks and ANSYS Workbench. The maximum mastication force was applied, and the maximum stress of the condyle prosthesis and screw, as well as the stress and strain of the mandible were recorded. In order to simulate the actual clinical situation, a special fixture was designed to test compression performance of the condyle prosthesis prepared by the fused deposition modeling (FDM) and selective laser sintering (SLS) at the rate of 1 mm/min. Results The peak stress of the PEEK condyle prosthesis was 10.733 MPa, which was located at the back of the condyle neck. The peak stress of 5 fixing screws was 9.707 5 MPa, which appeared on the 2# and 5# screws near the trailing edge of the mandibular ascending branch. The peak stress of both the prosthesis and the screw was smaller than its yield strength. The maximum pressure of the condyle prosthesis prepared by FDM and SLS was (3 814.7±442.6) N and (1 193.970±260.350) N, respectively. Compared with the SLS preparation, the FDM prepared prosthesis not only had higher compression strength but also better toughness. Conclusions The 3D printed personalized PEEK condyle prosthesis shows uniform stress distributions and good mechanical properties, which can provide the theoretical basis for PEEK as reconstruction material for repairing temporomandibular joint.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well developed technique to which the spatial orientation of acetabular component is crucial. Since the idea of "safe zone" being proposed, such idea has long been obeyed by hip surgeons but has also been challenged in recent years. This is because post-operative instability could happen even if acetabular components are placed within "safe zone" . The latest researches have demonstrated that sagittal spinal balance and spino-pelvic mobility can affect the spatial orientation of acetabular components. Factors including spinal degenerative changes, long lumbosacral changes and spinal ankyloses can lead to sagittal spinal imbalance and/or influence spino-pelvic mobility, which subsequently affect pelvic retroversion. Proper pelvic retroversion is a way to compensate for sagittal spinal imbalance and is beneficial to post-operative stability. It is necessary for hip surgeons to rethink "safe zone" before performing THA and understand spinal balance as well as spinopelvic mobility. The goal is to reduce the rate of dislocation. This review started by introducing the related spinopelvic parameters frequently seen in papers published recently and the definitions of acetabular cup orientations. After the spinal sagittal balance and its compensatory mechanisms session, discussed its clinical relevance, as well as the significance of spinal mobility, in spinopelvic motion under three different postures.

OBJECTIVE： To study in vitro metabolism pathway of effective component of Bletilla striata as Militarine in liver microsomes and kinetics characteristics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. METHODS： The in vitro incubation system of rat and human liver microsomes was established， and incubation reaction of Militarine was performed. UPLC-QTOF-MS was used to identify the structure of its metabolites in combination with UNIFI database and references. Using puerarin as internal standard， UPLC-Triple Quad-MS was used to quantitatively analyze metabolic transformation of Militarine in rat liver microsomes. The kinetic parameters （vmax， km， CLint） of Militarine enzyme-catalyzed reactions with/without reducing coenzyme Ⅱ （NADPH） were calculated by fitting the curves with GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. RESULTS： After incubation in rat and human liver microsomes， Militarine produced a chemical formula C21H29O11， which was presumed to be a metabolite of Militarine ester bond hydrolysis. The kinetic study of enzyme-catalyzed reactions showed that vmax of Militarine enzyme-catalyzed reactions with/without NADPH were 1.955， 2.129 nmol/（h·mg）； km were 8.601， 9.854 nmol/mL； CLint were 0.227 3， 0.216 1 mL/（h·mg）； there was no significant difference between with NADPH and without NADPH. CONCLUSIONS： The main metabolic pathway of Militarine in liver microsomes is the hydrolysis of C1 and C4 ester bonds. Its metabolism does not depend on the pathway of cytochrome P450 enzymes initiated by NADPH.

Objective To investigate the relationship between lipid abnormality and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men receiving physical examination. MethodsFour hundred and one people who participated health examination in our hospital in May 2008 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups according to history of disease, IPSS score, the results of digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasound: BPH group (192 cases) and no BPH group (209 cases). The blood lipid level and risk factors were compared in two groups. ResultsThere were no statistical differences in blood lipid level and risk stratification of cardiovascular disease between the two groups (TG:P=0. 698;TC:P=0. 654;LDL-C:P=0. 880; HDL-C:P=0. 531; risk stratification: P= 0. 251). IPSS score had no obvious correlation with blood lipid level (TG: P = 0. 054 ; TC: P =0. 149; LDL-C: P = 0. 427; HDL-C:P=0. 193) .Conclusions BPH complicated with lipid abnormality is common in the clinics, but the correlation between BPH and lipid abnormality in patients with light BPH is not so clear as that in patients with mild or severe BPH.
