With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective:To investigate the anemia conditions and characteristics of iron metabolism during different stages of pregnancy in women with different genotypes of thalassemia.Methods:This cohort study selected 3 303 singleton pregnant women who underwent regular prenatal examinations and genetic tests of thalassemia and were delivered at Maternal & Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2019 to December 2023. According to the results of thalassemia gene testing, the women were divided into groups: those without thalassemia genes served as the control group (1 539 cases), and those with thalassemia genes (1 764 cases) were further divided based on genotype into the -α/αα group (326 cases), --/αα or -α/-α group (649 cases), point mutation α-thalassemia group (201 cases), β 0-thalassemia group (368 cases), β +-thalassemia group (91 cases), and α combined with β-thalassemia group (129 cases). Hemoglobin (Hb) and serum ferritin (SF) levels were measured in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy. Differences in anemia and iron reserves among the groups at different pregnancy stages were compared using repeated measures analysis of variance, LSD test, Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test, and Bonferroni correction. Results:Compared to the first trimester, Hb levels decreased in the second and third trimester across all groups (LSD test, all P<0.05), and the severity of anemia increased (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.017). The severity of anemia varied among the groups at the same pregnancy stage ( Hfirst trimester=918.20, Hsecond trimester=1 224.50, Hthird trimester=980.19; all P<0.001), and Hb levels also differed ( Ffirst trimester=282.54, Fsecond trimester=352.31, Fthird trimester=239.02; all P<0.001). The β 0-thalassemia group had higher rates of moderate anemia in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy [38.6% (142/368), 85.3% (314/368), and 73.6% (271/368)] compared to other groups (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.002), and lower Hb levels [(102.1±8.9), (92.0±7.3), and (94.6±7.7) g/L] than other groups (LSD test, all P<0.05). As pregnancy progresses, SF levels in each group of pregnant women gradually decreased (LSD test, all P<0.05), and the degree of iron deficiency worsened (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.05). The iron deficiency rate in thalassemia pregnant women during the third trimester ranges from 21.5% (79/368) to 46.0% (150/326). The degree of iron deficiency varies among groups within the same gestational period ( Hfirst trimester=79.13, Hsecond trimester=203.98, Hthird trimester=130.55; all P<0.001), and SF levels also differ ( Ffirst trimester=17.28, Fsecond trimester=44.60, Fthird trimester=31.87; all P<0.001). Among them, the β 0-thalassemia group had the lowest iron deficiency rates in the second, and third trimesters [9.8% (36/368), and 21.5% (79/368)] (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.002). SF levels in the β 0-thalassemia and β +-thalassemia groups were higher than those in other groups during each gestational period (LSD test, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Pregnant women with thalassemia may experience varying degrees of iron deficiency during pregnancy, with the severity of iron deficiency and anemia increasing with gestational age. The degree of iron deficiency and anemia during pregnancy varies among pregnant women with different genotypes of thalassemia. Clinically, individualized management should be provided for pregnant women with thalassemia based on their genotypes, with dynamic monitoring of anemia and iron metabolism changes.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of fasting nasogastric administration of sesame oil combined with multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage in stroke patients with consti-pation undergoing nasogastric feeding.Methods A total of 50 stroke patients with nasogastric feeding were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into control group and study group,with 25 pa-tients in each group.The control group received routine nursing care plus multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage,while the study group received fasting nasogastric administration of 20 mL of sesa-me oil on the basis of the control group's treatment.After 15 days of intervention,the defecation condi-tions[constipation clinical symptom score(CSS),stool consistency(Bristol stool scale),and stool volume]were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the CSS score in the study group was lower than that in the control group[(6.52±2.52)versus(12.64±3.32),P＜0.05].The normal stool consistency(types Ⅳ and Ⅴ on the Bristol stool scale)in the study group was higher than that in the control group(76.0％versus 8.0％,P＜0.05).The stool volume in the study group was higher than that in the control group[(303.00±93.79)g versus(196.40±60.27)g,P＜0.05].The total effective rate of defecation in the study group was 96.0％,which was higher than 32.0％in the control group(P＜0.05).The Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life(PAC-QOL)score in the study group was lower than that in the control group[(40.07±5.67)versus(63.07±7.46),P＜0.05].Conclusion Fasting nasogastric administration of sesame oil com-bined with multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage can promote the recovery of intestinal function and improve constipation symptoms in stroke patients with nasogastric feeding.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel intravascular lithotripsy(IVL)balloon—Vesscrack shockwave balloon—for vascular preparation before stent implantation in patients with severe coronary artery calcification(CAC).Methods This was a prospective,single-arm,multicenter study conducted in China from June 2022 to October 2022.Patients with severe CAC were treated with the Vesscrack shockwave balloon for lesion preparation,followed by drug-eluting stent(DES)implantation.Of these,33 patients underwent optical coherence tomography(OCT).The primary endpoint was procedural success,defined as successful stent implantation with residual stenosis≤30％and the absence of in-hospital major adverse events,including cardiac death,target vessel-related myocardial infarction,or target lesion revascularization.Results A total of 170 patients[mean age:(65.9±7.9)years,116 males]were enrolled.After treatment with IVL and DES,the minimum lumen diameter increased significantly compared to baseline[(2.34±0.40)mm vs.(0.95±0.33)mm,P＜0.001],the degree of stenosis was significantly reduced[(13.24±6.60)％vs.(65.18±10.59)％,P＜0.001].Procedural success was achieved in 100％of cases,and device success was 98.8％.The 30-day patient-related cardiovascular clinical composite endpoint(POCE)rate was 0.0,with no target lesion failure,no confirmed or potential thrombotic events were observed.The shockwave energy generator demonstrated excellent stability and ease of use.Among the 33 patients assessed with OCT,after IVL intervention,the maximum calcified area of the lumen[(3.51±1.51)mm2 vs.(2.85±1.80)mm2,P＜0.001],and the minimum lumen area within the target lesion[(3.08±1.04)mm2 vs.(2.02±0.75)mm2,P＜0.001],and after DES intervention,the luminal area of the largest calcified site[(6.59±1.64)mm2 vs.(2.85±1.80)mm2,P＜0.001]and the minimum luminal area within the target lesion[(6.19±1.45)mm2 vs.(2.02±0.75)mm2,P＜0.001]were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant.Conclusions The Vesscrack shockwave balloon is effective and safe for vascular preparation in patients with severe CAC prior to stent implantation.It achieves significant calcified plaque modification,high procedural success rates,and minimal complications.

Objective:To explore the developmental trajectory and influencing factors of self-management behavior among stroke patients.Methods:A total of 478 ischemic stroke patients admitted to the department of neurology of a grade-Ⅲ hospital in Henan Province from July 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the investigation objects. Baseline data of patients were collected using the general situation questionnaire, stroke knowledge questionnaire, stroke health belief scale, stroke self-management behavior scale and self-rating depression scale. The self-management behavior level of patients was assessed at discharge, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge. Mplus 7.0 software was used to conduct trajectory analysis of stroke patients' self-management behaviors, and multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors associated with the development trajectory types of different stroke self-management behaviors.Results:The self-management behavior scores of stroke patients at discharge, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge were 206.59(167.59, 230.57), 169.59(129.73, 196.73), 149.82(120.89, 171.48), and 147.14(123.02, 181.64), respectively. Four trajectory categories were described. Category 1 was low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by stabilization, accounting for 16.95%(81/478)( P<0.001, intercept=2.701). Category 2 was low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase, accounting for 12.97%(62/478)( P<0.001, intercept =2.696). Category 3 was medium-level pattern of initial decrease followed by stabilization, accounting for 57.11%(273/478)( P<0.001, intercept =3.829). Category 4 was high-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase, accounting for 12.97%(62/478)( P<0.001, intercept=4.366). The self-management behavior of stroke patients with low level of stroke knowledge, low level of health belief, aged 60 to 70 years old, residence in rural areas and middle school and below education level were more likely to belong to the low level group(all P<0.05). Patients with low depression in the low level group were more likely to be classified as low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase( P<0.05). Conclusion:The trajectory category of self-management behavior could be predicted by stroke knowledge level, health belief level, age, place of residence, educational background and depression. Their self-management behavior level may be improved through targeted interventions according to the characteristics of different trajectory categories.

Objective To evaluate the rehabilitative effect of targeted sonic vibration load brushing method in stroke patients with oral phase swallowing disorders.Methods A total of 60 stroke patients with swallowing disor-ders,who hospitalized in the rehabilitation department of a Grade Ⅲ Class A hospital in Nanjing City from October 2023 to May 2024,were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group,with 30 patients in each group.Both groups received the conventional swallowing function training.The experimental group received targeted sonic vibration load brushing therapy,while the control group received routine oral care with manual toothbrushes.After 30 days of intervention,the swallowing function(Gugging Swallowing Screen,GUSS),modified Beck oral score,incidence of swallowing disorder-related complications,Swallowing Quality of Life(SWAL-QOL)scores,and oral care satisfaction were assessed in both groups.Results No sample detachment.After the intervention,the GUSS score for the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group,with a statistical difference(Z=-4.239,P＜0.001).Additionally,the modified Beck oral score and the overall complications rate related to swallowing disor-ders in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(both P＜0.05).Furthermore,the SWAL-QOL score and the oral care satisfaction score were both higher in the experimental group compared to those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(both P＜0.001).Conclusion Targeted sonic vibration load brushing method significantly improves swallowing function,enhances oral cleanliness,reduces the occurrence of swallowing disorder-related complications,and effectively improves patients' quality of life and nursing satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the effects of acteoside in a rat model on of diabetic nephropathy(DN)and high-glucose-induced glomerular mesangial cells(GMCs),focusing on the role of acteoside in the silent information regulator 1(SIRT1)/nuclear factor eryth-roid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)signaling pathway.Methods GMCs were cultured under normal glucose conditions or stimulated with high glucose.Fibrosis,oxidative stress,SIRT1 and Nrf2 protein expression,and mitochondrial structure were assessed in four groups:normal glucose,high glucose,high glucose+acteoside,and high glucose+acteoside+SIRT1 inhibitor(hsa62).DN was induced in rats via intraperitoneal streptozotocin injection,and animals were divided into control,model,and acteoside-treated groups.Pathological kidney changes,blood glucose changes,renal function indices,and protein expression of SIRT1 and Nrf2 were evaluated.Results Compared with controls,DN model rats showed significantly elevated fasting blood glucose,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,and 24-h urinary protein levels of rats in the model group were significantly increased(P＜0.01).GMCs exhibited increased fibrosis,oxidative stress,and mitochondrial damage.Acteoside treatment significantly improved all measured parameters(P＜0.01);and mitigated mitochondrial injury.In vitro,acteoside reduced high-glucose-induced fibrosis and oxidative stress in GMCs,effects that were reversed by SIRT1 inhibition.Western blotting confirmed upregulation of SIRT1 and Nrf2 expression in both treated rat kidney tissues and GMCs(P＜0.01).Conclusion Acteoside alleviates glomerular fibrosis and oxidative stress in DN by activating the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway,suggesting its potential therapeutic agent for DN.

GPR126, also known as ADGRG6, is one of the most deeply studied aGPCRs. Initially, GPR126 was thought to be a receptor associated with muscle development and was primarily expressed in the muscular and skeletal systems. With the deepening of research, it was found that GPR126 is expressed in multiple mammalian tissues and organs, and is involved in many biological processes such as embryonic development, nervous system development, and extracellular matrix interactions. Compared with other aGPCRs proteins, GPR126 has a longer N-terminal domain, which can bind to ligands one-to-one and one-to-many. Its N-terminus contains five domains, a CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1) domain, a PTX (Pentraxin) domain, a SEA (Sperm protein, Enterokinase, and Agrin) domain, a hormone binding (HormR) domain, and a conserved GAIN domain. The GAIN domain has a self-shearing function, which is essential for the maturation, stability, transport and function of aGPCRs. Different SEA domains constitute different GPR126 isomers, which can regulate the activation and closure of downstream signaling pathways through conformational changes. GPR126 has a typical aGPCRs seven-transmembrane helical structure, which can be coupled to Gs and Gi, causing cAMP to up- or down-regulation, mediating transmembrane signaling and participating in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. GPR126 is activated in a tethered-stalk peptide agonism or orthosteric agonism, which is mainly manifested by self-proteolysis or conformational changes in the GAIN domain, which mediates the rapid activation or closure of downstream pathways by tethered agonists. In addition to the tethered short stem peptide activation mode, GPR126 also has another allosteric agonism or tunable agonism mode, which is specifically expressed as the GAIN domain does not have self-shearing function in the physiological state, NTF and CTF always maintain the binding state, and the NTF binds to the ligand to cause conformational changes of the receptor, which somehow transmits signals to the GAIN domain in a spatial structure. The GAIN domain can cause the 7TM domain to produce an activated or inhibited signal for signal transduction, For example, type IV collagen interacts with the CUB and PTX domains of GPR126 to activate GPR126 downstream signal transduction. GPR126 has homology of 51.6%-86.9% among different species, with 10 conserved regions between different species, which can be traced back to the oldest metazoans as well as unicellular animals.In terms of diseases, GPR126 dysfunction involves the pathological process of bone, myelin, embryo and other related diseases, and is also closely related to the occurrence and development of malignant tumors such as breast cancer and colon cancer. However, the biological function of GPR126 in various diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target still needs further research. This paper focuses on the structure, interspecies differences and conservatism, signal transduction and biological functions of GPR126, which provides ideas and references for future research on GPR126.

Nitrofurantoin(NFT)is a nitrofuran antibiotic commonly used as a veterinary drug to treat bacterial infections in animals.However,due to the low solubility and bioaccumulation properties,NFT is prone to leave excessive residues in animal-derived foods and water systems,posing serious threats to human health and ecosystems.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and rapid detection method for NFT.In this work,nitrogen-doped carbon nanomaterials with unique bowl-like structures(N-CNBs)were synthesized via a hydrothermal-carbonization method.The morphology,surface structure,and specific surface area of N-CNBs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).The N-CNB modified glassy carbon electrode(N-CNB/GCE)was prepared,and the electrochemical test revealed that the N-CNB/GCE exhibited higher conductivity and larger electrochemical active surface area compared to bare GCE and nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanosphere-modified electrode(N-HCNS/GCE).Additionally,the N-CNB/GCE demonstrated superior electrocatalytic activity toward NFT.An NFT electrochemical sensor was constructed based on N-CNB/GCE.The detection conditions of the sensor were optimized,and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV)was employed for NFT detection under optimal experimental conditions.The established NFT electrochemical sensor had a wide linear range of 0.4-500 μmol/L,a low detection limit(S/N=3)of 0.015 μmol/L and high selectivity,with excellent stability and reproducibility.The practical feasibility of this sensor was confirmed by analysis of NFT in milk and tap water samples,with spiked recoveries ranging from 94.2%to 108.9%.
