Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.

BACKGROUND:Hydrogen,as an antioxidant,can reduce oxidative stress induced by strenuous exercise and achieve the effect of improving fatigue.Several studies have been reported on the potential effects of hydrogen-rich water or hydrogen-rich gas on improving exercise fatigue and athletic performance. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of hydrogen-rich gas inhalation prior to high-intensity exercise on proprioception and muscular endurance performance after exercise fatigue. METHODS:Through a randomized,double-blind,crossover,and repeated measurement experimental design,24 healthy men were randomly divided into group A and group B,with 12 in each group.In the first phase of the crossover experiment,group A inhaled hydrogen-rich gas(hydrogen group)for 20 minutes and group B inhaled placebo gas(air;placebo group)for 20 minutes.Then,cycle ergometers were used to establish the fatigue model.Visual analog fatigue scale,heart rate variability,knee joint proprioception(passive position perception,joint motion perception,and muscle force perception)and isometric knee extension muscle endurance were tested before and after intervention.After a 7-day washout period,two groups exchanged intervention methods and the above tests were performed again in the second phase of the experiment.Differences between the results of groups A and B in the two phases were compared,and finally the results of the two phases were integrated to compare the overall differences between hydrogen intervention and placebo intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the first phase of the crossover experiment,the visual analog fatigue scale score of the hydrogen group after intervention was significantly lower than that of the placebo group(P<0.01).The root mean square of the difference between the adjacent R-R,mean low-frequency output power,mean high-frequency output power,and isometric muscle endurance after intervention in the hydrogen group were significantly higher than those in the placebo group(P<0.05).Passive position perception and joint motion perception after intervention in the hydrogen group were significantly better than those in the placebo group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in muscle force perception between the two groups(P>0.05),but muscle force perception in the placebo group after intervention was significantly worse than that before intervention(P<0.01).The difference trend of all test results after intervention in the two groups in the first phase of the experiment showed the same results in the second phase of the experiment.The integrated results also showed that the hydrogen group had better test values for the above indicators than the placebo group(P<0.05).Linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation between post-intervention visual analog fatigue scale scores and passive position perception results(r=0.327,P=0.023),i.e.,the higher subjective fatigue level after high-intensity exercise indicated the worse passive position perception results.To conclude,inhaling hydrogen-rich gas before high-intensity exercise can reduce the degree of fatigue after exercise,thereby improving proprioception and muscle endurance performance,which may be a new strategy to reduce the occurrence of injury.And its effectiveness can be achieved repeatedly.

Objective To detect the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha induced protein 3(TN-FAIP3)and LINC00887 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)tissue,and to study their relationship with clinical pathological parameters and prognosis.Methods A total of 101 ccRCC patients admitted to the hospi-tal from January 2013 to October 2018 were selected.The expression levels of TNFAIP3 and LINC00887 were detected in ccRCC cancer tissue and paired adjacent tissues,respectively.The relationship between TNFAIP3 and LINC00887 expression and clinical pathological parameters and prognosis of ccRCC patients was analyzed,and the influencing factors of poor prognosis in ccRCC patients were also analyzed.Spearman correlation coef-ficient was used to analyze the correlation between TNFAIP3 and LINC00887 expression.Results The posi-tive rate of TNFAIP3 expression in ccRCC(37.62％)was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues(52.48％),and the difference was statistically significant(X2=4.500,P=0.034).The expression level of LINC00887 in ccRCC(1.38±0.61)was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues(1.03±0.43),and the difference was statistically significant(t=5.396,P＜0.001).The positive rates of TNFAIP3 protein in pa-tients with maximum tumor diameter ≥4.5 cm and TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were lower than those in patients with maximum tumor diameter＜4.5 cm and TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The positive rates of LINC00887 in patients with maximum tumor diameter ≥ 4.5 cm,pathologi-cal grading Ⅲ-Ⅳ,and TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were higher than those in patients with maximum tumor diameter＜4.5 cm,pathological grading Ⅰ-Ⅱ,and TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,and the differences were statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).Compared with the TNFAIP3 high expression group,the TNFAIP3 low expression group had a poorer prognosis,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=5.118,P=0.024).Compared with the LINC00887 low expression group of,the LINC00887 high expression group had a poorer prognosis,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.638,P=0.031).Low expression of TNFAIP3,high expres-sion of LINC00887,pathological grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ,and TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were risk factors for poor prognosis in ccRCC patients(P＜0.05).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between TNFAIP3 and LINC00887 expression in ccRCC tissue(r=-0.638,P=0.012).Conclusion TN-FAIP3 expression is down-regulated and L1NC00887 expression is up-regulated in ccRCC tissue,and there is a negative correlation.They may jointly regulate the occurrence and development of ccRCC,and have the poten-tial to become tumor markers for evaluating the prognosis of ccRCC patients.

The tumor microenvironment,particularly the hypoxic property and glutathione(GSH)overexpression,substantially inhibits the efficacy of cancer therapy.In this article,we present the design of a magnetic nanoplatform(MNPT)comprised of a photosensitizer(Ce6)and an iron oxide(Fe3O4)/manganese oxide(MnO2)composite nanozyme.Reactive oxygen species(ROS),such as singlet oxygen(1O2)radicals produced by light irradiation and hydroxyl radicals(·OH)produced by catalysis,are therapeutic species.These therapeutic substances stimulate cell apoptosis by increasing oxidative stress.This apoptosis then triggers the immunological response,which combines photodynamic therapy and T-cell-mediated immunotherapy to treat cancer.Furthermore,MNPT can be utilized as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance and fluorescence dual-modality imaging to give real-time tracking and feedback on treatment.

Objectives:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic risk factors in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients with lung metastasis.Methods:Patients of differentiated thyroid cancer with lung metastasis in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital were enrolled from Jan 1, 2010 to Dec 31, 2016. The clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed retrospectively.Results:A total of 65 DTC patients with lung metastasis were collected in this study, including 56 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and 9 patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma; 23 patients died and 42 patients survived. Median follow-up time was 99.4 months. There were 18 males, 47 females. Age 14-73 years, median age 51.0 years. High incidence of DTC lung metastasis was 50-59 years for males and 40-49 years for females. Based on AJCC 8th edition TNM staging, there were 37 patients in stage Ⅱ (age <55 years) and 28 patients in stage Ⅳb (age ≥55 years). The number of 131Ⅰ treatments performed ranged from 1 to 13 times, with a mean of 3.9 times. Firty-five patients were with lung metastasis alone, and 10 patients with lung metastasis and distant metastasis in other organs. Eleven patients suffered from hypoparathyroidism after 131Ⅰ treatment. COX multifactorial regression analysis found that age was independent risk factor affecting prognosis, multiple organs distant metastasis and pathologic subtype were relative risk factors affecting prognosis. There was no correlation between gender, number of 131Ⅰ treatments and poor prognosis. Conclusions:DTC has a high survival even with the occurrence of lung metastasis, but the prognosis is poor when combined with multi-organ metastasis. Age and multiple organ distant metastatic are independent risk factors affecting prognosis.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.

Objective:To investigate the MRI features of fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA).Methods:The clinical, pathological and MRI data of the FAVA patients confirmed clinically and pathologically in Henan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 17 females and 13 males, aged 4-53 (18.5±12.8) years.Through the analysis of the MRI images of FAVA performance, including the lesion area, shape, signal, the degree of reinforcement, inner structure, outer structure and other image characteristics, summarize the MRI features.Results:The lesions located at the lower leg (12 cases), thigh (12 cases), upper arm (4 cases), forearm (1 case) and trunk (1 case). Twenty-four case of lower limbs. All cases involved the muscular layer, including 21 cases of superficial muscle layer, 7 cases of deep muscle layer, and 2 cases of both. Twenty-three cases of superficial muscle layer. Most of the affected muscles were quadriceps femoris and gastrocnemius. Morphology: all lesions were intramuscular solid masses growing parallel to the long axis of the muscle. There were 11 cases of focal type, 11 cases of locally infiltrating type, and 8 cases of diffuse type. MRI findings: all lesions showed mixed signal. On T1WI, 28 cases showed cloud-like, band-like and patchy high signal on the background of medium and high signal. On T2WI-FS, all the 30 cases showed low to medium signal areas on the background of high signal, which were dendrimer, ribbon and cloud-like. The lesions showed moderate to obvious heterogeneous progressive enhancement. Twenty-seven lesions had different shapes of vascular shadow, and 28 lesions had drainage vein shadow adjacent to the lesions, 24 of which were located at the proximal end of the lesions. Fascial tail sign was found at the periphery of the lesions in 26 cases, of which 23 cases were located at the upper and lower ends of the lesions.Conclusion:FAVA is a complex vascular malformation with unclear pathological classification. MRI usually shows a solid mass in the superficial muscle layer of the lower limbs parallel to the long axis of the muscle, with cloud-like, band-like, and patchy hyperintensity on the background of high signal on T1WI, and dendritic, band-like, and cloud-like hypointensity on the background of high signal on T2WI-FS, which is helpful for the diagnosis of FAVA. Combined with the data of fascial tail sign, draining vein and clinical manifestations, the diagnosis of FAVA can be confirmed to a certain extent, which can provide reference and basis for clinical decision making.

Objective:To develop and validate a MRI-based radiomics nomogram combining with radiomics signature and clinical factors for the preoperative differentiation of benign parotid gland tumors (BPGT) and malignant parotid gland tumors (MPGT).Methods:From January 2015 to May 2020, 86 patients with parotid tumors confirmed by surgical pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were enrolled as training sets, and 35 patients in the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from January 2013 to January 2020 were enrolled as independent external validation sets. The logistic regression was used to establish a clinical-factors model based on demographics and MRI findings. Radiomics features were extracted from preoperative T 1WI and fat-saturated T 2WI (fs-T 2WI), a radiomics signature model was constructed, and a radiomics score (Rad-Score) was calculated. A combined diagnostic model and nomogram combining with the Rad-score and independent clinical factors was constructed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the performance of each model and DeLong test was used for comparison of area under the ROC curve (AUC). Results:The logistic regression results showed that deep lobe involvement (OR=3.285, P=0.040) and surrounding tissue invasion (OR=15.919, P=0.013) were independent factors for MPGT and constructed the clinical-factors model. A total of 19 features were extracted from the joint T 1WI and fs-T 2WI to build the radiomics signature model. The combined diagnostic model and nomogram incorporating deep lobe involvement, surrounding tissue invasion and Rad-score were established. The AUCs of the clinical-factors model, radiomics signature model and combined diagnostic model for differentiating BPGT from MPGT for the training and validation sets were 0.758, 0.951, 0.953 and 0.752, 0.941 and 0.964 respectively. The AUCs of the radiomics signature model and the combined diagnostic model were significantly higher than those of the clinical-factors model for both training and validation sets (training set: Z=3.95, 4.31, both P<0.001; validation set: Z=2.16, 2.67, P=0.031, 0.008). There was no statistical difference in AUCs between the radiomics signature model and combined diagnostic model (training set: Z=0.39, P=0.697; validation set: Z=1.10, P=0.273). Conclusions:The MRI-based radiomics signature model and radiomics nomogram incorporating deep lobe involvement, surrounding tissue invasion, and Rad-score showed favorable predictive efficacy for differentiating BPGT from MPGT.
