Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Chongqing Medical University attaches great importance to innovation ability training in undergraduates and cultivates the innovation ability of students by strengthening the combination of basic medical theory and practice. In recent years, "Dachuang Project", "Dachuang Platform", and excellent medical undergraduate tutorial research projects have helped to deepen the innovation ability training in medical undergraduates and make good achievements in the publication of scientific research articles, various scientific competitions, and patent applications. However, there are several problems in cultivating the innovation ability of medical undergraduates, such as the weak medical background knowledge of junior students, the single professional of tutors, and the lack of platform instruments and equipment, and therefore, it is necessary to reform innovation ability training in medical undergraduates. On this basis, the research group proposes targeted improvement countermeasures from the three aspects of students, supervisors, and management mechanism after extensive investigation and research, in order to provide new clues for deepening the reform of innovation ability training in medical undergraduates.

Objective To evaluate the expression of WWOX gene in breast cancer and its relation to hypermethylation of WWOX gene CpG island. Methods The expression of WWOX protein was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining in breast cancer cell line and breast cancer tissues.Methylation specific PCR(MSP)was used to check whether it Was methylated in the promoter and exon 1 of WWOX.Results Deletion in the WWOX expression was observed more frequently in invasive breast tumors,(32.2%)than normal breasttissues(5.4%)(P＜0.01).20.3% of premenopause eases were completely negative for WWOX expression compared to 57.2% of postmenopause breast carcinomas(P＜0.01).Furthermore,23.1% of Stage Ⅰ(6/26),28.6%of Stage Ⅱ(10/35),46.2%of Stage Ⅲ(12/26)tunlors showed negative WWOX protein expression.In breast cancer specimens.methylation rate of promoter and exon 1 CpG island of WWOX gene was 55%and 45%respectively.Whereas.WWOX CpG islands of normal mammary tissues were completely unmethylated in all cases.CpG islands of WWOX promoter and exon 1 were methylated in MDA-MB-231 cell line but not MCF-7 cell.Conclusions Some deletion in WWOX expression is common in breast cancer and methylation of WWOX DNA CpG islands plays a crucial role in the silence of WWOX.WWOX may play a role in the carcinogenesis and development of breast cancer.

Objectives:To investigate the clinical significance of the expression level of cytokeratin5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells from patients with breast carcinoma.Methods:The expression rates of ck5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells from 56 patients with breast carcinoma were measured and analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:The expression rates of ck5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells from 56 patients with breast carcinoma was 46.4% and there was significant differences compared with healthy volunteers and the patients with breast benign diseases.The positive rates increased significantly with the pathological staging and show no significant relationship with the ER and PR.Conclusion:The expression of ck5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells correlates significantly with the pathological staging of breast carcinoma and it could be an effective signal to clinical monitor and prognosis.
