Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of methyl oxofulnonone A(META)on high glucose(HG)-induced H9c2 cell injury.Methods H9c2 cells were divided into control group(normal culture),model group(55 mmol·L-1 glucose)and experimental-L,-M,-H groups(55 mmol·L-1 glucose+12.5,25.0,50.0 μmol·L-1 META).Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8;intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)level was detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe;intracellular adenosine triphosphate(ATP)content was detected by luciferase;and autophagy-related protein expression was detected by Western blotting.Results The optical density values of 72-hour cells in the control group,model group and experimental-M,-H groups were 0.91±0.03,0.61±0.01,0.69±0.02 and 0.72±0.03;the ROS levels were(40.75±1.53)％,(43.73±1.30)％,(30.87±1.27)％and(28.28±1.43)％;the ATP contents were(8.16±0.71),(4.03±0.29),(5.29±0.31)and(5.83±0.31)nmol·mg-1;the relative expression levels of autophagy-related gene 5 protein were 1.05±0.06,1.46±0.09,0.98±0.11 and 0.89±0.09;the relative expression levels of ubiquitin-binding protein were 1.05±0.10,0.55±0.13,0.89±0.04 and 0.98±0.04;the ratios of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 11/Ⅰ protein were 1.09±0.09,1.82±0.05,1.67±0.29 and 1.09±0.15,respectively.Among the above indicators,there were statistically significant differences between the model group and the control and experimental-M,-H groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion META significantly ameliorates H9c2 cardiomyocyte damage caused by high glucose,ameliorates oxidative stress,protects mitochondrial respiration and inhibits autophagy.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of an automated scanning and uptake system to assist pathologists with hu-man epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)FISH interpretation.Methods:HER2 gene amplification is detected using FISH,and"result interpretation by independent pathologists"is regarded as the"gold standard."The consistency of"human-machine dialogue results"(use of a CytoVision* system combined with manual interpretation)and"CytoVision*-based automated interpretation"with the"gold standard"was assessed.Results:Consistency between"human-machine dialogue results"and the"gold standard"can surpass 91%,with the former method saving up to 50%of the manual operation time.The tendency of each cell nucleus's HER2 copy number to be"underestimated"is the main reason for the low sensitivity observed in cases with low copy number amplification and HER2 heterogeneous expression cases in"human-machine dialogue interpretation."Conclusions:Automatic FISH image analysis and uptake systems simulate the process of manu-ally interpreted cell selection,ensure random cell selection,and improve work efficiency.With its accurate selection of the hybridization re-gion and"human-computer dialogue,"the system is expected to"replace"interpretation by independent pathologists.

Objective:To investigate the level of rehabilitation exercise adherence in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction within 6 months post-surgery, analyze its trajectory, and provide a reference for clinical nursing interventions.Methods:Using a convenience sampling method, 150 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to August 2023 were selected. Rehabilitation exercise adherence was assessed monthly from postoperative 1 month (M 1) to 6 months (M 6) using the Orthopedic Functional Exercise Adherence Scale. A latent class growth model was employed to analyze adherence trajectory categories, and Logistic regression was used to identify influencing factors for different adherence trajectories. Results:A total of 144 patients completed follow-up (follow-up rate was 96.00%). Exercise adherence scores gradually declined over the 6 months post-surgery, with scores of (50.30±5.39), (45.92±3.85), (39.48±5.27), (35.83±6.19), (31.85±7.59), and (29.88±7.88) from M 1 to M 6, respectively. The difference in scores across time points was statistically significant ( F=85.467, P<0.01). Three potential categories were identified through the latent class growth model: the moderate-high level rapid decline group ( n=65, 45.14%), the moderate-low level stable group ( n=32, 22.22%), and the moderate-low level slow decline group ( n=47, 32.64%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender and age were significant factors influencing adherence trajectory categories ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Dynamic declines in rehabilitation exercise adherence are common among ACL reconstruction patients, with varying degrees of decline. Gender and age may influence adherence trajectories, suggesting that targeted management strategies could be implemented in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Objective To describe the distribution characteristics of knee and ankle joint range of motion and muscle atrophy related indexes in patients with Kashin-Beck disease(KBD)in Shaanxi Province so as to explore the correlation of knee and ankle joint range of motion(ROM)with muscle atrophy indexes and provide reference for clinical characteristics analysis of KBD patients.Methods To investigate the registered KBD patients from KBD areas in Shaanxi Province,we measured the general demographic data of the patients were collected and the ROM of the knee joint(flexion and extension),the ankle joint(dorsiflexion and plantar flexion),and the muscle atrophy related indexes such as the upper arm circumference,thigh circumference,calf circumference and grip strength.According to the population characteristics,i.e.,gender,age,body mass index(BMI)and KBD grade,the median and quartile of joint ROM and muscle atrophy of KBD patients were reported,and then the differences in each index among different groups were analyzed.Partial correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between indicators after controlling for variables such as gender,age and BMI.Results A total of 480 patients with KBD were investigated in this study,who consisted of 249(51.9％)males and 231(48.1％)females,with an average age of(63.10±7.32)years and an average BMI of(23.49±8.90)kg/m2.The knee flexion ROM,knee extension ROM,ankle dorsiflexion ROM and ankle plantar flexion ROM were[105.0(95.0,120.0)]°,[0.0(-15.0,0.0)]°,[5.0(0.0,15.0)]° and[20.0(15.0,30.0)]°,respectively,in KBD patients in Shaanxi Province.The left thigh circumference,right thigh circumference,left calf circumference,right calf circumference,and upper arm circumference were[43.0(40.0,47.0)]cm,[43.0(39.0,47.0)]cm,[29.0(27.0,32.0)]cm,[29.5(27.0,32.0)]cm,[27.0(25.0,30.0)]cm,respectively.The left hand grip strength and right hand grip strength were[13.4(9.5,18.4)]kg and[13.9(9.8,18.2)]kg,respectively.With the increase of age,the extension range of the left and right knee joints of KBD patients showed a decreasing trend(H=31.499,31.847;all P＜0.001).The range of motion of bilateral knee flexion was higher in the normal BMI group than in the overweight or obese group,with statistically significant differences(H=7.753,12.333;P=0.021,0.002).The knee flexion,thigh circumference,and calf circumference of the left and right sides showed a decreasing trend under different KBD grades(H=14.345,17.256,8.000,8.462,8.558,9.633;all P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that knee flexion ROM was positively correlated with thigh circumference,calf circumference,and grip strength in patients with KBD(all P＜0.05).There was a positive correlation between knee extension ROM and thigh circumference in patients with KBD(P＜0.01).Conclusion The impaired joint ROM and muscle atrophy are serious in KBD patients in Shaanxi Province,and there is a correlation between joint motion and muscle atrophy.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)combined with 3D printing technology for the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture.Methods A total of 77 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures from October 2020 to April 2022 were included in the study,all of which were vertebral body compression fractures caused by trauma.According to different treatment methods,they were di-vided into experimental group and control group.Thirty-two patients used 3D printing technology to improve unilateral transpedicle puncture vertebroplasty in the experimental group,there were 5 males and 27 females,aged from 63 to 91 years old with an average of(77.59±8.75)years old.Forty-five patients were treated with traditional bilateral pedicle puncture vertebroplasty,including 7 males and 38 females,aged from 60 to 88 years old with an average of(74.89±7.37)years old.Operation time,intraoperative C-arm X-ray times,anesthetic dosage,bone cement injection amount,bone cement diffusion good and good rate,complications,vertebral height,kyphotic angle(Cobb angle),visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI)and other indicators were recorded before and after surgery,and statistically analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 6 to 23 months,with preoperative imaging studies,confirmed for thoracolumbar osteoporosis com-pression fractures,two groups of patients with postoperative complications,no special two groups of patients'age,gender,body mass index(BMI),time were injured,the injured vertebral distribution had no statistical difference(P＞0.05),comparable data.Two groups of patients with bone cement injection,bone cement dispersion rate,preoperative and postoperative vertebral body height,protruding after spine angle(Cobb angle),VAS,ODI had no statistical difference(P＞0.05).The operative time,intra-operative fluoroscopy times and anesthetic dosage were statistically different between the two groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the traditional bilateral puncture group,the modified unilateral puncture group combined with 3D printing technology had shorter operation time,fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy times and less anesthetic dosage.The height of anterior vertebral edge,kyphosis angle(Cobb angle),VAS score and ODI of the affected vertebrae were statistically different between two groups at each time point after surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures,3D printing technology is used to improve unilateral puncture PVP,which is convenient and simple,less trauma,short operation time,fewer fluoroscopy times,satisfactory distribution of bone cement,vertebral height recovery and kyphotic Angle correction,and good functional improvement.
