Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

BACKGROUND:Spinal cord injury is a serious neurological disease that often results in severe neurological impairment. Oxidative stress is an important link in the pathological process after spinal cord injury,leading to neuronal cell death and loss of function. In recent years,natural products have shown potential application values in the treatment of oxidative stress after spinal cord injury due to their wide range of sources,diverse structures and rich biological activities. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the therapeutic effects of some natural products on oxidative stress after spinal cord injury and the related mechanisms,in order to provide new ideas and directions for antioxidant therapy of spinal cord injury. METHODS:"Spinal cord injury,oxidative stress,anti-oxidation,natural products,natural compounds,polyphenols" were used as the English and Chinese keywords in PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane,VIP,CBM,WanFang,and CNKI databases to search relevant articles published from database inception to May 2024. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed,and 97 relevant articles were selected by reading titles,abstracts,and full texts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Natural products such as polyphenols can directly scavenge oxidative free radicals by the phenol hydroxyl group in their structure,and alleviate oxidative stress after spinal cord injury. Some natural products can enhance the activity of relevant antioxidant enzymes in vivo and reduce oxidative stress by regulating certain signal transduction pathways. Some natural products can reduce oxidative stress after spinal cord injury by enhancing autophagy. The use of natural products to regulate oxidative stress may become an effective tool for the future clinical treatment of spinal cord injury.

BACKGROUND:Increasing studies have shown that autophagy plays an important role in the treatment of osteoarthritis,and moderate autophagy can preserve the normal physiological function of osteoarticular chondrocytes.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)monomers can target and modulate autophagy to treat osteoarthritis,and their characteristics such as single components,clear efficacy,low price,and easy availability have obvious benefits in the treatment of osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE:To review the effects of TCM monomers on the targeted regulation of autophagy in the treatment of osteoarthritis and the research progress,with a view to laying a foundation for the treatment of osteoarthritis and even other bone metabolic diseases.METHODS:Relevant literature published from January 2012 to October 2022 was retrieved in PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,and WanFang using the keywords of"traditional Chinese medicine,Chinese herbal monomer,autophagy,osteoarthritis"in English and Chinese.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed,and 63 relevant articles were finally included by screening through reading the title,abstract,and full-text content.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:TCM monomers can treat osteoarthritis by targeting autophagy to inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis,protect cartilage extracellular matrix,reduce inflammation and antagonize oxidative stress injury.Different TCM monomers can regulate autophagy in the same way,and the same TCM monomers can affect autophagy in different ways.The combination of multiple monomers and the multi-target and multi-pathway regulation of autophagy by TCM monomers remain to be explored.The regulation of autophagy by TCM monomers can provide new ideas and strategies for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis.Moderate regulation of autophagy by TCM monomers to keep the autophagic flux unimpeded may be the key to treating osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND:More and more studies have shown that oxidative stress should play an important role in the treatment of osteoporosis.Oxidative stress should cause the accumulation of oxidation activity,which will damage bone-related cells.Finally,it causes the imbalance of bone resorption and bone formation,resulting in a decrease in bone volume and the destruction of the slight structure.Research in recent years has found that some natural products can regulate oxidative stress to treat osteoporosis.The characteristics of extensive sources and small side effects have obvious advantages in the treatment of osteoporosis,and the efficacy is objective. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the mechanism of natural product regulation of oxidation stress in treatment of osteoporosis,conduct a review based on the latest related research progress,provide reference and ideas for more natural products to treat osteoporosis in the future,and provide data support for the clinical application of natural compounds in the treatment of osteoporosis. METHODS:"oxidative stress,free radical,antioxidant,phytotherapy,plant extracts,medicinal plants,herbal medicine,osteoporosis,bone density,bone loss"were used as the keywords in PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane,VIP,CBM,WanFang,and CNKI databases to search relevant articles published from January 2010 to February 2023.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed,and 64 relevant articles were selected by reading titles,abstracts,and full texts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Some natural products have antioxidant effects and can regulate osteogenic differentiation,osteoblast bone matrix mineralization,osteoclast-mediated bone resorption,proliferation,differentiation,activity,and apoptosis of bone-related cells by improving oxidative stress,thus affecting bone metabolism.(2)These natural products with antioxidant effects play a role in treating osteoporosis by improving bone remodeling balance.(3)The research on the combination of a variety of natural products to improve osteoporosis remains to be explored.(4)The use of natural products to regulate oxidative stress may become a powerful weapon for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis in the future.

Osteoporosis， a common metabolic bone disease， is caused by the imbalance of bone homeostasis. Bone homeostasis depends on the dynamic balance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone matrix formation by mesenchymal lineage osteoblasts and involves a series of complex and highly regulated steps. When bone resorption is faster than bone formation， bone homeostasis will be destroyed， which will lead to osteoporosis. Autophagy is a protein and organelle degradation pathway important for the maintenance of cytoplasmic homeostasis. The basal level of autophagy is present in all the three types of bone cells. Autophagy is a process whereby damaged organelles are recycled and bone remodeling continues， and thus it plays an important role in bone maintenance. Therefore， it is possible to regulate bone metabolism by targeting specific autophagy-related molecules. At the same time， as the research on the treatment of osteoporosis by Chinese medicine advances， it is found that the monomers isolated from traditional Chinese medicinals have the potential of regulating autophagy in the treatment of osteoporosis. Thus， this paper discusses the relationship between autophagy and osteoporosis and summarizes six different mechanisms of 22 Chinese medicine monomers in the treatment of osteoporosis through targeting autophagy： increasing osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells， promoting osteoblast mineralization， inhibiting osteoclasts differentiation， reducing apoptosis of bone cells， antagonizing oxidative stress injury， and coordinating inflammation and autophagy levels. The review is expected to provide a reference and ideas for future research on the treatment of osteoporosis by Chinese medicine monomers.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.

Objective:To clarify the effect of ubiquitination hepatitis B virus core antigen (Ub-HBcAg) on dendritic cells (DC) autophagy, and to explore the mechanism of autophagy in enhancing DC antigen presentation and inducing hepatitis B virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses.Methods:Ub-HBcAg lentiviral vector (LV-Ub-HBcAg), lentiviral vector-hepatitis B virus core antigen (LV-HBcAg) and no-load plasmid LV (LV) were constructed and packaged. DC2.4 cells were divided into LV-Ub-HBcAg group, LV-HBcAg group and LV group. The blank control group (NC group) was also set. The protein expression of autophagy-related protein P62, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta (LC3B), autophagy related 5(ATG5) and Beclin-1 were detected by Western blotting. The expressions of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD86, CD80 and major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-Ⅱ were detected by flow cytometry. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method was used to detect T lymphocytes proliferation. The non-radioactive lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) release method was applied to detect the killing ability of CTL. Statistical analysis was conducted by independent sample t test. Results:The relative protein expressions of LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ, Beclin-1 and ATG5 in NC group were 0.445±0.076, 0.522±0.026 and 0.761±0.038, respectively, which were all lower than those in LV-Ub-HBcAg group (0.926±0.021, 0.919±0.016 and 1.451±0.028, respectively). The relative protein expression of P62 in the NC group was higher than that in LV-Ub-HBcAg group ((1.875±0.016) vs (0.647±0.121)). The differences were all statistically significant ( t=6.102, 9.842, 17.490 and 10.590, respectively, all P<0.01). The expressions of CD86 (75.51%), CD80 (83.35%), MHC-Ⅱ (66.66%) in the LV-Ub-HBcAg group were high, and those in the NC group were 8.03%, 7.49%, 0.04%, respectively. The specific CTL killing rate ((65.310±2.091)%) of the LV-Ub-HBcAg group was significantly higher than both NC group ((14.400±0.497)%) and LV-HBcAg group ((54.870±1.443)%), and the differences were both statistically significant ( t=23.690 and 4.111, respectively, both P<0.05). Conclusion:Ub-HBcAg promotes the DC autophagy, up-regulates the expressions of costimulatory molecules on cell surface of DC to induce the maturation and activation, and then stimulates T lymphocyte to induce a stronger specific CTL response under the effort of ubiquitination.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of open reduction in the treatment of Tile C pelvic fracture combined with acetabular fracture in a specific sequence.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 53 patients with Tile C type pelvic fracture combined with acetabular fracture from January 2014 to January 2019, and were divided into specific sequence group and non-specific sequence group according to the sequence of intraoperative reduction. A total of 29 cases were observed in the specific sequence group, including 20 males and 9 females; aged 43.8±14.8 years old (18-71 years), and the fractures were reduced in the sequence of "inside and out, then up and down" during the operation. There were 24 cases in the non-specific sequence group, including 14 males and 10 females; aged 44.4±14.7 years old (18-69 years), and fracture reduction was not performed in this sequence during the operation. According to the type of pelvic and acetabular fracture injury, we choose the appropriate position and surgical approach. After open reduction, the fracture was fixed with internal plants. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, visual analogue scale (VAS) score were compared between the two groups. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated by Matta score, pelvic fracture function recovery was evaluated by Majeed score, and acetabular fracture was evaluated by hip joint modified Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in general data between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05), which was comparable. The intraoperative blood loss of the specific sequence group and the non-specific sequence group were 1 031.1±513.7 and 1 406.3±738.1 ml, and the operation time was 3.5±1.0 and 4.8±1.4 h; The differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). 53 patients were followed up for 14.8±1.6 months (12-18 months) after operation. The average postoperative VAS scores of specific sequence group and non-specific sequence group were 1.3±1.1 and 1.5±1.3 respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference. The effectiveness of the pelvic fracture Matta score standard was evaluated in the specific sequence group: excellent in 22 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 2 cases, excellent and good rate was 93.1%; non-specific sequence group excellent in 10 cases, good in 6 cases, fair in 5 cases, poor in 3 cases, excellent and good rate was 66.7%, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Matta score of acetabular fracture: 21 cases were excellent in specific sequence group, 5 cases were good, 3 cases were poor, excellent and good rate was 89.7%; 9 cases were excellent in non-specific sequence group, 8 cases were good, 7 cases were poor, excellent and good rate was 70.8 %, the difference is statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of the last follow-up pelvic fractures were evaluated by Majeed score: 20 cases were excellent in the specific sequence group, 7 were good, 2 were fair, excellent and good rate was 93.1%; 10 were excellent in the non-specific sequence group, 5 were good, 5 were fair, and 4 were poor, excellent and good rate was 62.5%, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the modified Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score was used to evaluate the efficacy: 20 cases were excellent in the specific sequence group, 5 were good, 4 were fair, the excellent and good rate was 86.2%; In the non-specific sequence group, 9 cases were excellent, 7 cases were good, 4 cases were fair, and 4 cases were poor, excellent and good rate was 66.7%, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). During the follow-up period, none of the patients in the two groups developed fracture nonunion, heterotopic ossification, iatrogenic neurovascular injury, and femoral head necrosis. Trauma arthritis occurred in 4 patients in the non-specific sequence group. Conclusion:"Inside and out, then up and down" sequential reduction of Tile C pelvis combined with acetabular fracture can significantly shorten the operation time and reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss. The surgical procedure is reasonable, which helps to improve the quality of fracture reduction and promote the functional recovery of patients.
