Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

OBJECTIVE To establish refined medication rules for parenteral nutrition （PN） and evaluate its effectiveness. METHODS Refined medication rules for PN were constructed based on drug instructions， relevant guidelines， and expert consensus. Through the pre-approval review system of prescription automatic screening system （PASS）， PN prescription information for inpatients from January to December 2024 （referred to as “post-intervention”） was collected to analyze the post- intervention prescription review status. PN prescription information for inpatients at our hospital from January to December 2023 and January to December 2024 was collected through the medical order review system to evaluate the rationality rates of PN prescriptions. RESULTS The established refined medication rules for PN included system module rules （including nutrients， drug compatibility， PN concentration and osmotic pressure） and custom review rules （covering off-label drug use， drug compatibility， and other drug use conditions）. As of December 2024， the PASS pre-approval review system had established a total of 102 rules， comprising 55 system module rules and 47 custom review rules for PN. After intervention， when comparing with the first quarter of 2024， the number of PN reviewed and intervened by pharmacists decreased， the pharmacist intervention rate dropped， while the rate of physician modifications following pharmacist intervention increased in the fourth quarter. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the system module rules were irrational PN concentration and osmotic pressure. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the custom review rules were off-label drug use （specifically indications for amino acids） and irrational drug incompatibility. In 2024， the number of false-positive tasks and the false-positive rate initially increased and then decreased， while both the number of irrational prescriptions identified through manual review and the false-negative rate showed a declining trend. In 2024， the overall rationality rate after manual review PN refined medication rules for PN medical order review system significantly increased compared to that in 2023 （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The refined medication rules for PN in our hospital were established successfully， which can reduce the PN-induced risks and significantly improve the rationality of PN prescriptions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan on ferroptosis in the rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） and explore the underlying mechanism based on the nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）/glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） signaling pathway. MethodsThe sixty SD rats were randomly grouped as follows： control， model， Yishanfu （0.144 g·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （2.44， 4.88， and 9.76 g·kg^-1， respectively） Danggui Shaoyaosan. A high-fat diet was used to establish the rat model of NAFLD. After 12 weeks of modeling， rats were treated with corresponding agents for 4 weeks. Then， the body weight and liver weight were measured， and the liver index was calculated. At the same time， serum and liver samples were collected. The levels or activities of total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and Fe²⁺ in the serum and TC， TG， free fatty acids （FFA）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione peroxidase （GPX）， and Fe²⁺ in the liver were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and oil red O staining were employed to observe the pathological changes in the liver. Immunofluorescence was used to assess the reactive oxygen species （ROS） content in the liver. Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The protein levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， GPX4， transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1）， and divalent metal transporter 1 （DMT1） in the liver were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed increases in the body weight， liver weight， liver index， levels or activities of TC， TG， ALT， AST， and Fe²⁺ in the serum， levels of TC， TG， FFA， MDA， Fe²⁺， and ROS in the liver， and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver （P<0.01）， and decreases in the activities of SOD， GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the liver （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Meanwhile， the liver tissue in the model group presented steatosis， iron deposition， mitochondrial shrinkage， and blurred or swollen mitochondrial cristae. Compared with the model group， all doses of Danggui Shaoyaosan reduced the body weight， liver weight， liver index， levels or activities of TC， TG， ALT， AST， and Fe²⁺ in the serum， levels of TC， TG， FFA， MDA， Fe²⁺， and ROS in the liver， and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver （P<0.01）， while increasing the activities of SOD and GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the liver （P<0.01）. Furthermore， Danggui Shaoyaosan alleviated steatosis， iron deposition， and mitochondrial damage in the liver. ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan may inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis by activating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway to treat NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the occurrence of coma in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion(BAO)and the favorable prognosis in the coma patients after receiving mechanical thrombectomy(MT).Methods The clinical data and imaging materials of 102 patients with acute BAO,who received MT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University of China from January 2016 to April 2024,were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether the patient had a coma or not on admission,the patients were divided into non-coma group and coma group.The clinical data and imaging findings were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of coma.The modified Rankin scale(mRS)score was used to evaluate 90-day clinical prognosis.The patients of coma group were further divided into favorable prognosis subgroup(mRS:0-3 points)and poor prognosis subgroup(mRS:4-6 points).Baseline date and surgical data were compared between the two subgroups,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors associated with a favorable prognosis in coma patients after receiving mechanical thrombectomy.Results Of the 102 patients with acute BAO,54 were in unconscious state on admission(coma group)and 48 were in conscious state(non-coma group)on admission.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that coexisting cardiovascular diseases with severe cardiac insufficiency or moderate to severe coronary artery stenosis(P=0.009)and low BATMAN score(P＜0.001)were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of coma in acute BAO patients.Among the 54 unconscious patients who received MT treatment,favorable prognosis was obtained in 13 and poor prognosis was seen in 41.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that high BATMAN score(P=0.017)was the independent influencing factor for favorable prognosis in acute BAO patients with coma after receiving MT therapy.Conclusion Acute BAO patients having coexisting cardiovascular diseases with severe cardiac insufficiency or moderate to severe coronary artery stenosis or having low BATMAN score are more likely to develop coma.Acute BAO patients with coma having high BATMAN score are more likely to obtain a favorable prognosis after receiving MT therapy.

Objective To observe the predictive factors of poor prognosis in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion(BAO)who got first-pass effect(FPE)after mechanical thrombectomy(MT).Methods Eighty-two acute BAO patients who got FPE following MT were retrospectively collected and divided into good prognosis group(modified Rankin scale[mRS]score≤3,n=48)and poor prognosis group(mRS score＞3,n=34)90 days after treatments.The data were compared between groups,and variables which showed P＜0.1 were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify independent predictors of poor prognosis in acute BAO patients who got FPE after MT.Results Higher age of patients,pre-treatment National Institute Health stroke scale(NIHSS)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),also higher proportions of patients with diabetes mellitus,atrial fibrillation(AF)and cardioembolic stroke in trial of org 10 172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification were found in poor prognosis group than those in good prognosis group(all P＜0.05).Conversely,patients in poor prognosis group had lower pre-treatment Glasgow coma scale(GCS)scores,lower posterior circulation-Alberta stroke program early CT score(pc-ASPECTS)and basilar artery on CT angiography(BATMAN)scores(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed patients complicated with AF(OR[95%CI]=29.769[1.470,602.943])and elevated pre-treatment NLR(OR[95%CI]=1.212[1.016,1.446])had relatively poor prognosis(both P＜0.05),whereas those with increased pre-treatment GCS score(OR[95%CI]=0.615[0.429,0.882]),elevated pc-ASPECTS(OR[95%CI]=0.263[0.092,0.748])and higher BATMAN score(OR[95%CI]=0.260[0.085,0.796])had relatively better prognosis(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Complicated with AF,low pre-treatment GCS score,high NLR,low pc-ASPECTS and low BATMAN score were all predictive factors for poor prognosis in acute BAO patients who got FPE after MT.

Objective:To investigate the effect of staged operations with oral mucosa preimplantation urethral plate in the treatment of crippled hypospadias.Methods:The clinical records of patients with crippled hypospadias which were treated in the First People’s Hospital of Zunyi from March 2019 to March 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Staged operations with oral mucosa preimplantation urethral plate were applied to all patients. The survival condition of preimplantation urethral plate, urethrocutaneous fistula, urethral dehiscence, urethral diverticulum, urethrostenosis, residual chordee, the appearance of penis and urinating condition were observed.Results:Twelve male children were enrolled, ranging in age from 5 years and 1 month to 14 years, with a median age of 8 years and 2 months. All of these patients had 2 to 4 times of urethroplasty surgeries with an average time of 3.2. All patients suffered from moderate to severe chordee and lack of prepuce, including 5 patients with urethral dehiscence, 3 cases with multiple urethrocutaneous fistulas and 4 cases with urethrostenosis. All patients were followed 6 to 36 months after surgery with an average of 25 months. One patient suffered from infection of preimplantation urethral plate after the first stage operation was cured by hyperbaric oxygen therapy and local dressing. Two patients complained of urethrocutaneous fistula after the second stage operation were cured by fistulectomy. No urethral dehiscence, urethral diverticulum, urethrostenosis or residual chordee was observed in other patients. Penile appearance was not bloated and the longitudinal slit urethral orifice was located in the head of the penis. Urination was smooth and the urine line was continuous.Conclusion:Staged operation with oral mucosa preimplantation urethral plate is an effective and safe method for the treatment of crippled hypospadias.

Background::Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and diameter, stiffness, and wave reflections, are independent and important clinical biomarkers and risk predictors for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to establish nationwide reference values of carotid properties for healthy Chinese adults and to explore potential clinical determinants.Methods::A total of 3053 healthy Han Chinese adults (1922 women) aged 18-79 years were enrolled at 28 collaborating tertiary centers throughout China between April 2021 and July 2022. The real-time tracking of common carotid artery walls was achieved by the radio frequency (RF) ultrasound system. The IMT, diameter, compliance coefficient, β stiffness, local pulse wave velocity (PWV), local systolic blood pressure, augmented pressure (AP), and augmentation index (AIx) were then automatically measured and reported. Data were stratified by age groups and sex. The relationships between age and carotid property parameters were analyzed by Jonckheere-Terpstra test and simple linear regressions. The major clinical determinants of carotid properties were identified by Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and analyses of covariance.Results::All the parameters of carotid properties demonstrated significantly age-related trajectories. Women showed thinner IMT, smaller carotid diameter, larger AP, and AIx than men. The β stiffness and PWV were significantly higher in men than women before forties, but the differences reversed after that. The increase rate of carotid IMT (5.5 μm/year in women and 5.8 μm/year in men) and diameter (0.03 mm/year in both men and women) were similar between men and women. For the stiffness and wave reflections, women showed significantly larger age-related variations than men as demonstrated by steeper regression slopes (all P for age by sex interaction <0.05). The blood pressures, body mass index (BMI), and triglyceride levels were identified as major clinical determinants of carotid properties with adjustment of age and sex. Conclusions::The age- and sex-specific reference values of carotid properties measured by RF ultrasound for healthy Chinese adults were established. The blood pressures, BMI, and triglyceride levels should be considered for clinical application of corresponding reference values.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of Dayuanyin on acute lung injury induced by H1N1 infection and decipher the potential mechanism. MethodThe constituents in Dayuanyin were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry （UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）. Forty-eight female BALB/c mice were randomized into normal， model， oseltamivir （19.5 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （2.73， 5.46， 10.92 g·kg^-1） Dayuanyin groups. The normal and model groups were administrated with deionized water by gavage， and the other groups were administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage. On day 3 of drug administration， the normal group received nasal inhalation of normal saline， and the other groups were inoculated intranasally with A/RP/8/34 （H1N1） for the modeling of influenza virus infection. Mice were administrated with drugs continuously for 7 days and weighed daily. Sampling was performed 12 h after the last administration， and the lung tissue was weighed to calculate the lung index. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the pathological and morphological changes of the lung tissue and bronchi. The cytometric bead array （CBA） was used to measure the serum levels of interferon-gamma （IFN-γ）， C-X-C motif ligand 1 （CXCL1）， tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， chemokine ligand 2 （CCL2）， interleukin-12p70 （IL-12p70）， chemokine ligand 5 （CCL5）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， chemokine （C-X-C motif） ligand 10 （CXCL10）， granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor （GM-CSF）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， interferon-beta （IFN-β）， interferon-alpha （IFN-α）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6）. According to the results of mass spectrometry and network pharmacology， we analyzed the mechanism of Dayuanyin in treating acute lung injury caused by H1N1. The protein levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 （ERK1/2）， p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）， nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB）， and their phosphorylated forms were determined by Western blot. The mRNA levels of myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）， Toll-like receptor 3 （TLR3）， Toll-like receptor 7 （TLR7）， and Toll-like receptor 8 （TLR8） in the lung tissue were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultA total of 57 compounds， including paeoniflorin and baicalein， were detected in Dayuanyin. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed decreased body weight （P<0.01）， lung edema and hemorrhage， increased lung index （P<0.01）， and elevated levels of IFN-γ， IL-12p70， CCL5， IL-1β， CXCL10， GM-CSF， IFN-β， and IL-6 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Dayuanyin attenuated alveolar wall thickening， capillary congestion， and immune cell infiltration， reduced the alterations in body weight and lung index （P<0.01）， and down-regulated the protein levels of IFN-γ， IL-12p70， CCL5， IL-1β， CXCL10， GM-CSF， IFN-β， and IL-6 （P<0.01）. A total of 57 key genes were predicted by network pharmacological analysis， of which the MAPK signaling pathway was the main target signaling pathway. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed up-regulation in the protein levels of phosphorylation （p）-ERK1/2， p-p38 MAPK， and p-NF-κB （P<0.01） and the mRNA levels of TLR7， TLR8， MyD88， and TLR3 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Dayuanyin lowered the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2， p38 MAPK， and NF-κB p65 in a dose-dependent manner （P<0.01） and down-regulated the mRNA levels of TLR3， TLR7， TLR8， and MyD88 （P<0.01）. ConclusionDayuanyin can prevent and control H1N1 infection-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting the TLR/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.
