Osteoarthritis(OA)is a common joint disease in clinical practice,and cartilage damage is a typical pathological change.The pathogenesis of OA is complex,and various adverse factors can lead to the occurrence of OA.Mitochondria are im-portant organelles within cells and play important roles in cellular physiological and pathological activ-ities.Mitochondrial quality control is an important regulatory mechanism in the body to maintain nor-mal mitochondrial structure and function,mainly including mitochondrial biogenesis,mitochondrial dynamics,mitochondrial autophagy,mitochondrial oxidative stress,and other forms.The imbalance of mitochondrial quality control in chondrocytes is closely related to the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis,and regulating the balance of mi-tochondrial quality control is a potential therapeu-tic point for osteoarthritis.The author reviewed rel-evant research literature in recent years to provide a review of the relationship between mitochondrial quality control and the occurrence and develop-ment of osteoarthritis,in order to provide new ideas and directions for the research and diagnosis and treatment strategies of osteoarthritis.

Objective:To observe the early clinical efficacy of 3D-printed modular supporting prosthesis for reconstruction of lacunar bone defect caused by giant cell tumor of the distal femur.Methods:From May 2018 to July 2023, a total of 9 patients with giant cell tumor of the distal femur were treated with 3D-printed modular supporting prosthesis to reconstruct lacunar bone defects in the Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. There were 4 males and 5 females, aged 30.8±6.1 years (range, 24-44 years), 5 cases on the left side, 4 cases on the right side, 2 cases of Campanacci grade I, 7 cases of Campanacci grade II. The anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films and T-SMART tomosynthesis imaging of the knee joint were taken to observe the bone graft healing and osseointegration after operation. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS)-93 was used to evaluate knee function, and visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate knee pain.Results:All patients were successfully operated and followed up for an average of 30.8±7.5 months (range, 18-42 months). The operation time was 124.2±23.6 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 105.6±17.4 ml. All autografts showed bony union at the graft-host junction, and the healing time was 3.3±0.4 months (range, 3.0-4.0 months). At 6 months after surgery, T-SMART tomosynthesis imaging showed that the gap between the prosthesis-bone interface was less than 1 mm in all patients. At the last follow-up, the thickness of residual subchondral bone was 5.7±1.3 mm, which was greater than that before operation 2.2±0.8 mm, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=10.823, P<0.001). At the last follow-up, the score of MSTS-93 was 26.7±2.4, which was higher than that before operation 18.8±3.7, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.367, P<0.001). At the last follow-up, the range of motion of the knee joint was 122.8°±9.1°, which was higher than that before operation 108.3°±6.1°, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.970, P<0.001). All patients were able to walk normally, go up and down stairs and other daily activities, and 7 patients were able to complete squats. At the last follow-up, there was no local tumor recurrence, distant metastasis, death, joint infection, pain (VAS score was 0), delayed wound healing, joint degeneration, prosthesis loosening or articular surface collapse. Conclusion:Reconstruction of lacunar bone defect caused by giant cell tumor of distal femur with 3D-printed modular supporting prosthesis can effectively improve knee joint function and osseointegration, and the short-term clinical results are satisfactory.

Objective:To investigate the current status of postoperative Day 1 ambulation in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery under an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, analyze the influencing factors of successful ambulation on postoperative Day 1, and explore the impact of early ambulation on postoperative recovery.Methods:Data from 397 patients who underwent PLIF surgery at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from September 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they successfully ambulated on postoperative Day 1: the successful ambulation on Day 1 group and the delayed ambulation group. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing successful ambulation on postoperative Day 1. Postoperative recovery indicators, including catheter removal time, hospital length of stay, drainage volume on postoperative Day 3, and pain scores for the low back and legs, were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 378 patients were included in the analysis. Among them, 316 patients (83.6%) successfully ambulated on postoperative Day 1, while 62 patients (16.4%) had delayed ambulation. Logistic regression analysis indicated that postoperative Day 1 hemoglobin classification and pre-ambulation low back pain score in the supine position were independent factors influencing successful ambulation on Day 1 ( P<0.05). The successful ambulation group had a shorter catheter removal time and hospital stay compared to the delayed ambulation group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative drainage volume, low back pain scores, leg pain scores, or Oswestry Disability Index scores before discharge (all P>0.05) . Conclusions:Postoperative Day 1 hemoglobin levels and pre-ambulation low back pain scores are independent factors influencing the success of ambulation on postoperative Day 1 in patients undergoing PLIF surgery. Early ambulation on postoperative Day 1 helps reduce catheter removal time and length of hospital stay without increasing postoperative drainage or pain levels.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

Objective:To develop a treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was constructed through a literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and cognitive testing. This study conducted a preliminary survey of 379 patients with MM and a formal survey of 865 patients from the hematology departments of 155 hospitals nationwide from February 2024 to March 2024. The final scale was obtained after conducting item analysis and reliability and validity tests on the initial scale.Results:The constructed scale contains 36 items covering six domains: physiological, psychological, social, treatment side effects, general health, and others. In the preliminary survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.597 to 0.939, and the test-retest reliability was 0.747 ( P<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis extracted eight common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 60.058%. In the formal survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.484 to 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.835 ( P<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a comparative fit index of 0.750, a root-mean-square error of approximation of 0.090, and a root-mean-square residual of 0.067. Conclusion:The treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with MM designed in this study exhibited good reliability and validity, reflecting the impact of treatment on the quality of life of patients. This scale can provide a reference to clinicians for assessing the disease status of patients.

Objective:To understand the information needs and experiences of primary caregivers of patients in the emergency resuscitation room of the emergency department, and to provide a reference for clinical staff to meet caregivers′ information needs as well as to develop targeted and effective health information support for doctors and patients.Methods:A descriptive phenomenological research method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with primary caregivers of 14 patients in the emergency resuscitation room of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from November 2023 to February 2024 through purposive sampling, and the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was applied to summarize and analyze the interview data and refine the themes.Results:Totally 14 respondents aged 28-66, including 6 males and 8 females. Four themes were refined including diverse information needs, information access dilemma, integration of doctor-patient information for joint decision-making and communication, and desire for information and emotional support.Conclusions:The information needs of primary caregivers of patients in the emergency department were diverse, and caregivers were eager to seek patient-related information and crave emotional support and communication when faced with the onset of a patient's illness. Healthcare professionals should strengthen the assistance of caregivers′ information needs to improve the experience of patients and caregivers in medical consultation services and realize the sustainable development of the doctor-patient relationship.

Objective:To evaluate the outcomes of short-segment pedicle screw fixation after vertebroplasty augmentation using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and laminectomy for stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease with neurological symptoms.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the 23 patients who had been treated at Department of Spinal Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2016 to August 2022 for single level stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease with neurological symptoms by short-segment pedicle screw fixation after vertebroplasty augmentation using PMMA and laminectomy. There were 9 males and 14 females, with an age of (69.7±3.8) years. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for low back pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI) for low back pain, kyphotic Cobb angle of the fixed segment, and loss of the anterior vertebral body height were compared between preoperation, 2 weeks after operation, 2 years after operation, and the last follow-up. The improvements in American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment grading at the last follow-up compared to the preoperative levels, bone graft fusion rates at the last follow-up and complications were recorded.Results:All patients were followed up for (57.4±17.7) months after operation. The VAS pain scores [(2.2±0.3) points, (1.8±0.6) points and (1.6±0.5) points], ODIs (23.9%±4.5%, 21.6%±4.5% and 19.1%±3.8%), kyphotic Cobb angles of the fixed segments (12.2°±2.7°, 12.5°±2.6° and 12.8°±2.8°) and losses of the anterior vertebral body height (20.0%±3.4%, 20.2%±3.5% and 20.3%±3.5%) at 2 weeks after operation, 2 years after operation, and the last follow-up were significantly improved compared to the pre-operative values [(7.8±0.5) points, 79.7%±5.1%, 40.2°±6.2°, and 60.4%±14.2%, respectively] ( P<0.05). However, there were no significantly differences in the above values between 2 weeks after operation, 2 years after operation and the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Of the 2 patients with grade C, the ASIA grading at the last follow-up improved to grade D in one and to grade E in the other; of the 12 patients with grade D, the ASIA grading at the last follow-up improved to grade E in 11. The complications included 2 asymptomatic cases of bone cement leakage from the upper endplate of the affected vertebra, 1 asymptomatic case of bone cement leakage from the lower endplate of the affected vertebra, 1 asymptomatic case of bone cement leakage from the spinal canal, and 1 case of distant vertebral compression fracture. The last follow-up showed good bone graft fusion in all patients. Conclusion:In the treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease with neurological symptoms, short-segment pedicle screw fixation after vertebroplasty augmentation using PMMA is a relatively minimally invasive, safe, and effective treatment, because it can alleviate back pain, improve neurological function and daily function, correct thoracolumbar kyphosis, restore vertebral height and reconstruct spinal stability without significant complications.
