OBJECTIVE: To explore the accuracy of human-computer interaction software in identifying and locating type C1 distal radius fractures. METHODS: Based on relevant inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 cases of type C1 distal radius fractures between September 2023 and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, comprising 3 males and 11 females(aged from 27 to 82 years). The data were assigned randomized identifiers. A senior orthopedic physician reviewed the films and measured the ulnar deviation angle, radial height, palmar inclination angle, intra-articular step, and intra-articular gap for each case on the hospital's imaging system. Based on the reduction standard for distal radius fractures, cases were divided into reduction group and non-reduction group. Then, the data were sequentially imported into a human-computer interaction intelligent software, where a junior orthopedic physician analyzed the same radiological parameters, categorized cases, and measured fracture details. The categorization results from the software were consistent with manual classifications (6 reduction cases and 8 non-reduction cases). For non-reduction cases, the software performed further analyses, including bone segmentation and fracture recognition, generating 8 diagnostic reports containing fracture recognition information. For the 6 reduction cases, the senior and junior orthopedic physicians independently analyzed the data on the hospital's imaging system and the AI software, respectively. Bone segments requiring reduction were identified, verified by two senior physicians, and measured for displacement and rotation along the X (inward and outward), Z (front and back), and Y (up and down) axes. The AI software generated comprehensive diagnostic reports for these cases, which included all measurements and fracture recognition details. RESULTS: Both the manual and AI software methods consistently categorized the 14 cases into 6 reduction and 8 non-reduction groups, with identical data distributions. A paired sample t-test revealed no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) between the manual and software-based measurements for ulnar deviation angle, radial ulnar bone height, palmar inclination angle, intra-articular step, and joint space. In fracture recognition, the AI software correctly identified 10 C-type fractures and 4 B-type fractures. For the 6 reduction cases, a total of 24 bone fragments were analyzed across both methods. After verification, it was found that the bone fragments identified by the two methods were consistent. A paired sample t-tests revealed that the identified bone fragments and measured displacement and rotation angles along the X, Y, and Z axes were consistent between the two methods. No statistically significant differences(P>0.05) were found between manual and software measurements for these parameters. CONCLUSION Human-computer interaction software employing AI technology demonstrated comparable accuracy to manual measurement in identifying and locating type C1 distal radius fractures on CT imaging.

Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness of Poly(p-dioxanone)(PPDO)bidirectional sawtooth inverted Ⅴ-shaped wiring and straight wiring in ameliorating nasolabial fold wrinkles within the context of facial rejuvenation.Methods Between March 2023 and January 2024,60 patients presenting with nasolabial fold wrinkles who underwent PPDO subcutaneous implantation and lifting in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group.At 4 weeks,12 weeks,and 24 weeks post-surgery,the clinical efficacy was statistically analyzed.The incidence of complications was documented to evaluate the safety of the procedure,and a satisfaction survey was carried out.Results In each time period,the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale(WSRS)scores of both groups decreased significantly when compared to those prior to the operation(P<0.05).At each corresponding time point after surgery,there was a statistically significant difference in the WSRS scores between the two groups in the observation group(P<0.05).In both groups,the WSRS score was the lowest at 12 weeks post-surgery,and the score at 24 weeks post-surgery was significantly higher than that at 12 weeks post-surgery(P<0.05).The overall effective rate of facial improvement in the observation group was 93.33%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(73.33%).The difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.320,P<0.05).No obvious complications occurred in either group.The satisfaction rate in the observation group was 4.067±0.828,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(3.400±0.932).The difference was statistically significant(t=2.929,P<0.05).Conclusions Both the PPDO two-way sawtooth line inverted Ⅴ-shaped wiring method and the straight wiring method can effectively improve nasolabial fold wrinkles.Compared with the straight wiring method,the inverted Ⅴ wiring method demonstrates a more pronounced improvement effect,higher subject satisfaction,and fewer consumables.The optimal results were achieved at 12 weeks after surgery for both wiring methods.Moreover,neither surgical procedure was associated with significant complications.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

ObjectiveTo explore the main mechanism of self-precipitation formed during the decoction of Sinitang（SNT）， and to provide a research basis for exploring the differences in the toxic and effective components of this compound. MethodsThe average precipitation yields of SNT， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma（GRR）-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata（ALRP） decoction（GF）， ALRP-Zingiberis Rhizoma（ZR） decoction（FJ）， GRR-ZR decoction（GJD）， ALRP decoction（FZ）， ZR decoction（GJ） and GRR decoction（GC） were determined. The four main self-precipitation samples of SNT， GF， FZ and GC were physically characterized by particle size， scanning electron microscopy（SEM）， pH， total dissolved solids（TDS）， conductivity， and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR） analysis. The chemical compositions of SNT decoction and its different phases was identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS） for SNT， SNT self-precipitation and SNT supernatant， and the contents of its main toxic and effective components were determined by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）. ResultsPrecipitation yield results of the 7 samples of SNT decoction and single decoction showed that SNT had the highest self-precipitation yield. The formation of SNT self-precipitation was mainly related to the reaction between ALRP and GRR components to form complexes， and FT-IR showed that GRR had the greatest influence on the formation of self-precipitation. A total of 110 components were identified in the SNT decoction， including 100 components in the SNT self-precipitation and 106 components in the SNT supernatant. And quantitative results of the main toxic and effective components revealed that the reaction between ALRP and GRR components formed complexes， resulting in the following content hierarchy for free components：SNT decoctionsupernatantself-precipitation， these components included free liquiritin， benzoylmesaconine， benzoylaconitine， benzoylhypacoitine， liquiritigenin， aconitine， hypoaconitine， isoliquiritigenin and ammonium glycyrrhizinate. ConclusionSNT exhibits spontaneous precipitation during compound decoction， with GRR exerting the greatest influence on its formation. This suggests GRR plays a significant role in the detoxification of SNT. The differences in the self-precipitated toxic-effective components of SNT compound decoction primarily manifest as changes in component content， reflecting the characteristics of SNT "deposition in vitro and sustained release in vivo" and the importance of "administered at draught" in the clinical application of SNT.

The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of lung zinc ions to pathogenesis of lung ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, lung I/R group (I/R group), lung I/R + low-dose zinc chloride group (LZnCl₂+I/R group), lung I/R + high-dose ZnCl₂ group (HZnCl₂+I/R group), lung I/R + medium-dose ZnCl₂ group (MZnCl₂+I/R group) and TPEN+MZnCl₂+I/R group (n = 8 in each group). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure the concentration of zinc ions in lung tissue. The degree of lung tissue injury was analyzed by observing HE staining, alveolar damage index, lung wet/dry weight ratio and lung tissue gross changes. TUNEL staining was used to detect cellular apoptosis in lung tissue. Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to determine the protein expression levels of caspase-3 and ZIP8, as well as the mRNA expression levels of zinc transporters (ZIP, ZNT) in lung tissue. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of lung tissue was detected by JC-1 MMP detection kit. The results showed that, compared with the control group, the lung tissue damage, lung wet/dry weight ratio and alveolar damage index were significantly increased in the I/R group. And in the lung tissue, the concentration of Zn²⁺ was markedly decreased, while the cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio and apoptotic levels were significantly increased. The expression levels of ZIP8 mRNA and protein were down-regulated significantly, while the mRNA expression of other zinc transporters remained unchanged. There was also a significant decrease in MMP. Compared with the I/R group, both MZnCl₂+I/R group and HZnCl₂+I/R group exhibited significantly reduced lung tissue injury, lung wet/dry weight ratio and alveolar damage index, increased Zn²⁺ concentration, decreased ratio of cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 and apoptosis, and up-regulated expression levels of ZIP8 mRNA and protein. In addition, the MMP was significantly increased in the lung tissue. Zn²⁺ chelating agent TPEN reversed the above-mentioned protective effects of medium-dose ZnCl₂ on the lung tissue in the I/R group. The aforementioned results suggest that exogenous administration of ZnCl₂ can improve lung I/R injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which artesunate(ART)attenuates intestinal mucosal barrier damage in acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD)and the synergistic effect of ART in combination with dexamethasone(DXM)in the treatment of aGVHD mice.Methods The aGVHD mouse model was established by bone marrow haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.The mice were divided into 9 groups,including normal mice control(Ctrl),aGVHD mice(aGVHD),normal mice receiving ART[30 mg/(kg·d)],aGVHD mice receiving low-dose ART[10 mg/(kg·d)],aGVHD mice receiving medium-dose ART[30 mg/(kg·d)],aGVHD mice receiving high-dose ART[50 mg/(kg·d)],aGVHD mice receiving DXM[20 mg/(kg·d)],aGVHD mice receiving ART[30 mg/(kg·d)]and DXM[20 mg/(kg·d)],and aGVHD mice receiving ART[30 mg/(kg·d)]and halved DXM[10 mg/(kg·d)].Survival rate and clinical parameters were assessed.HE staining and Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff(AB-PAS)staining were used to observe the histopathological changes in the intestinal mucosa of the mice;Real-time PCR,Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the structure of the intestinal mucosal barrier,the T cell differentiation related transcription factors and cytokines,and the key enzymes of energy metabolism.Flow cytometry was used to detect the T helper cell 17(Th17)and regulatory T cells(Treg).Results After 30 days of ART treatment,aGVHD mice showed significant relief of systemic symptoms and increase in survival rate.In aGVHD mice treated with ART,the intestinal mucosal barrier structure was restored,and the intestinal mucosal permeability was reduced.The activity of AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/mTOR pathway was inhibited,and the energy metabolism pattern of T cells was dominated by fatty acid synthesis.The balance of Th17/Treg was restored due to the decrease of Th 17 and the increase of Treg.The effect of ART+DXM treatment on aGVHD mice was comparable to that of DXM treatment alone,and the survival rate of mice was higher.In particular,the recovery of the intestinal mucosal barrier function was most obvious in the mice treated with ART+half-dose DXM.Conclusion ART reduces the immune injury of allo-T cells to the intestinal mucosal barrier by recovering the Th17/Treg balance,thus maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier function.The synergistic effect of ART and DXM combination treatment in aGVHD mice can reduce the incidence of DXM side effects by decreasing the dosage of DXM.
