Objective To investigate the application effect and imaging changes of metal cushion block combined with Jumbo cup in the reconstruction of acetabular bone defect after revision of artificial hip joint.Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 83 patients who underwent revision acetabular bone defect reconstruction of the artificial hip joint in our hospital from September 2019 to October 2021.They were divided into group A and group B according to different surgical methods.There were 42 patients in group A,including 26 males and 16 females,aged from 44 to 72 years old with an average of(60.57±4.62)years,who underwent revision with metal cushion block and Jumbo cup.There were 41 patients in group B,including 22 males and 19 females,aged from 42 to 71 years old with an average of(58.74±4.25)years,who under-went revision with metal cushion block and bone cement mortar cup.The operation related indexes,Harris hip function score and visual analogue scale(VAS)of pain before operation,1 month and 12 month after operation were compared between two groups.The results of X-ray imaging examination(hip rotation center height,acetabular abduction angle,femoral eccentricity and imaging standard qualification rate)before and 12 month after operation were evaluated,and the incidence of complica-tions was compared between two groups.Results There was no significant difference in operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume and postoperative drainage volume between two groups(P＞0.05).Both groups were followed up for 12 to 36 months with an average of(25.36±3.59)months.The scores of pain,function,deformity and Harris'total score in the two groups at 1 month after operation were higher than those before operation(P＜0.05),and the scores of pain,function,deformity,joint activ-ity and Harris'total score in two groups at 1 year after operation were higher than those before operation and 1 month after op-eration(P＜0.05),and the above scores in group A were higher than those in group B at 1 year after operation(P＜0.05).The VAS of two groups decreased successively at 1 month and 1 year after operation(P＜0.05),but there was no significant differ-ence in both groups at each time point(P＞0.05).The femoral eccentricity increased in both groups at 1 year after operation(P＜0.05),and group A was higher than group B(P＜0.05).The height of rotation center and acetabular abduction angle de-creased in both groups at 1 year after operation(P＜0.05),and the height of rotation center in group A was lower than that in group B(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in acetabular abduction angle between two groups(P＞0.05).The imaging qualification rate of group A was higher than that of group B(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the inci-dence of adverse reactions between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Metal cushion block combined with Jumbo cup in the treatment of acetabular bone defects can provide the hip joint function,and restore the hip joint rotation center,femoral eccen-tricity and acetabular abduction angle,with obvious clinical effect.

Objective:To investigate whether dual-energy computed tomography(DECT) measurement of monosodium urate(MSU) crystal loading can predict the risk of gout flares.Methods:A single-center, prospective, observational study included 229 gout patients initially diagnosed at the Gout Clinic of Qingdao University from August 2021 to February 2022. The patients underwent MSU assessment of the bilateral feet using DECT. Following enrolment, all patients commenced uric acid-lowering therapy(ULT) and were followed up at 3 and 6 months. Patients who experienced at least one flare within 6 months were compared with those who did not, and the odds ratio( OR) for the risk of gout flares was calculated. Results:Patients who experienced gout flare had a significantly longer disease duration[(6.69±5.42) vs(4.14±4.86) years, P<0.01], a higher number of flares in the past year(4.80±1.73 vs 2.02±1. 23, P<0.01), a higher proportion of fatty livers(11.0% vs 1.4%, P<0.05), and a greater volume of MSU crystals in the feet[(3.52±9.74) vs(0.29±0.98)cm 3,P<0.05] compared to patients without gout flare. The results of the multifactorial logistic regression analysis indicated that the number of flares in the past year( OR=1.295, 95% CI 1.032-1.613, P<0.05) and feet MSU crystal volume( OR=3.245, 95% CI 1.164-9.064, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for gout flares. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve indicated the integration of the MSU prediction model into the clinical prediction model resulted in a comprehensive prediction model with an area under curve(AUC) value of 0.780(95% CI 0.710-0.840), sensitivity of 0.83, and specificity of 0.62. Internal validation of the comprehensive prediction model using the Bootstrap method yielded a C-index of 0.770(95% CI 0.701-0.833) for predicting flares. The calibration curve of the model demonstrated a good fit between the predicted probability of flares and the actual probability, indicating high calibration accuracy. Conclusion:The volume of MSU crystals in the feet is an independent risk factor for flares following ULT. A larger volume of MSU crystals in the foot increases the likelihood of a flare. This study provides a basis for early prediction of flare and a reference for early preventive treatment.

Objective To propose a sperm classification model based on convolutional neural network to enhance the accuracy of sperm morphological classification.Methods A FT-EfficientNet model was constructed using EfficientNetB0 as the base model,which was fine-tuned by data preprocessing enhancement,transfer learning and cosine decay.Classification experi-ments were performed on the sperm public datasets SCIAN-Morpho and HuSHeM,and the datasets were segmented and vali-dated using 5-fold cross-validation.The classification results by the FT-EfficientNet model were compared with those by the cascade ensemble of support vector machines(CE-SVM)model,the adaptive patch-based dictionary learning(APDL)model,fine tuning of visual geometry group(FT-VGG)model,morphological classification of human sperm heads(MH-HSH)model and transfer learning(TL)model.Ablation experiments were performed in the SCIAN-Morpho dataset to verify the effect of different fine-tuning methods on the model.Results The FT-EfficientNet model proposed had the accuracy,precision and F1 score on the SCIAN-Morpho validation set being 64.1％,63.8％and 64.8％,respectively,which were better than CE-SVM,APDL,FT-VGG and MC-HSH models.The recall rate of the model proposed(65.2％)was slightly lower than that of MC-HSH model(68.0％).The accuracy,precision,F1 score and recall rate on the HuSHeM validation set was 95.4％,95.8％,95.4％and 96.0％,respectively,which were slightly lower than those of TL model while better than those of CE-SVM,APDL,FT-VGG and MC-HSH models.Ablation experiments showed the FT-EfficientNet model behaved the best in fine-tuning.Conclusion The sperm classification model based on convolutional neural network facilitates sperm morphology classification with high accuracy and performance.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(10):7-13]

Objective: Whether peripheral blood 5-hydroxytrptamine (5-HT) levels serve as biomarker for depression diagnosis/response evaluation has not been well determined. This work was explored to address this inconclusive issue. Methods: Animals were randomized into normal control group (NC, n = 10) and chronic unpredictable mild stress model group (CUMS-model, n = 20), respectively. Animals in CUMS-model group were subjected to chronic stress, then they were randomly subdivided into CUMS subgroup and CUMS + fluoxetine subgroup (CUMS + FLX). After FLX treatment, blood and tissues were collected. 5-HT and relevant protein expression were measured. Results: In mice model, there was a significant increase in serum and a significant reduction in plasma 5-HT levels in CUMS-model group versus NC group, while platelet 5-HT levels change little. After FLX treatment, serum and platelet 5-HT levels were significantly decreased in CUMS + FLX subgroup, while plasma 5-HT levels had not much change versus CUMS subgroup. Chronic stress enhanced colon and platelet serotonin transporter (SERT) expression and FLX treatment mitigated SERT expression. In rats’ model, there was a significant increase in serum 5-HT levels while plasma and platelet 5-HT levels showed little change in CUMS group versus NC group. After FLX treatment, serum, plasma and platelet 5-HT levels were significantly decreased in CUMS + FLX subgroup versus CUMS subgroup. The profile of relevant proteins expression changed by FLX were like those in mice. Conclusion Serum 5-HT levels might serve as a potential biomarker for depression diagnosis, meanwhile serum and platelet 5-HT levels might respond to antidepressant treatment.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.
