Objective:To explore the relationship between mechanical ventilation based on volumetric guaranteed(VG)ventilation mode and weaning outcomes of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(RDS).Methods:This study was a single-center prospective study,according to random number table method,129 neonatal with RDS who were admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to October 2024 were divided into control group(received pressure-controlled ventilation,n=64)and observation group(received pressure-controlled ventilation combined with VG,n=65).The duration of invasive ventilation,total duration of respiratory support,length of hospital stay,arterial blood gas parameters[partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),pH value,partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),PaO2/fraction of inspired oxygen(FiO2)],weaning time,extubation failure rate and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The duration of invasive ventilation,the total duration of respiratory support,the weaning time and the length of hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the extubation failure rate and the incidence of complications were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).24 h,48 h after intervention,PaCO2 decreased,while pH value,PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 increased.The PaCO2 in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,while the pH value,PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Mechanical ventilation based on VG can shorten the mechanical ventilation time of neonatal with RDS,improve blood gas analysis indicators,and reduce weaning time,extubation failure rate and the risk of complications.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Jiawei Shaofu Zhuyu decoction in antagonizing endometriosis fibrosis by regulating mitophagy.Methods After the animal model was constructed,the syndrome was evalu-ated by general condition,organ water content and ther-mal imaging.The curative effect was evaluated by the weight of ectopic focus and the degree of adhesion.The pathological changes were compared using HE stai-ning,transmission electron microscopy,Masson and Sir-ius red staining.The expression of PINK1 and Parkin was detected by immunohistochemistry.The expression of mRNA and protein was determined by qPCR and Western blot,and the level of serum ROS was detected by ELISA.Results The autonomic activity of model mice was weakened,the water content of organs rose,and the temperature of limbs and lower abdomen was reduced by thermal imaging.HE staining showed obvi-ous hyperplasia of ectopic epithelium and glands.Transmission electron microscopy showed mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum structure damage,and nor-mal autophagy structure disappeared.Masson and Siri-us red staining showed increased collagen deposition;immunohistochemistry showed decreased expression of PINK1 and Parkin in ectopic foci.qPCR and Western blot showed that the expression of PINK1,Parkin,Bec-lin1,LC3 mRNA and protein in ectopic foci of model mice decreased,the expression of p62 mRNA and pro-tein increased,and serum ROS increased.The syn-drome performance of model mice was improved after the intervention of Jiawei Shaofu Zhuyu decoction;the inflammatory infiltration of ectopic foci was relieved,the morphology of mitochondria and endoplasmic retic-ulum was restored,and normal autophagy structure ap-peared.The degree of collagen deposition and fibrosis was reduced;the mRNA and protein expression of PINK1,Parkin,Beclin1 and LC3 increased.The ex-pression of p62 mRNA and protein decreased,and the level of ROS decreased.Conclusions Jiawei Shaofu Zhuyu decoction can improve the fibrosis of ectopic le-sions in mice with endometriosis of cold-dampness sta-sis syndrome,which may be related to the regulation of mitophagy.

Transfer-RNA derived small RNA(tsRNA),a re-cently discovered class of non-coding RNA,is produced by ma-ture tRNA or tRNA precursor through the mediation of specific endonucleases.By regulating gene expression at the transcrip-tional and post transcriptional levels and acting as an epigenetic regulator,tsRNA plays an important role in the physiological and pathological processes of many organisms.Therefore,it has gradually become a research hotspot in biomedicine and attracted widespread attention.Moreover,there is increasing evidence that tsRNA is involved in the occurrence and development of many neuropsychiatric diseases through participating in stress re-sponse,cell proliferation and apoptosis,neural development,synaptic plasticity,neuroinflammation and immune regulation,epigenetic regulation,RNA processing,and protein translation regulation.This article mainly discusses the generation,classifi-cation and biological functions of tsRNA,and elaborates on the role and possible mechanisms of tsRNA in neurodevelopment and neuropsychiatric disorders,thereby further revealing the poten-tial of tsRNA as a reliable biomarker and therapeutic target for neuropsychiatric disorders.

Objective To develop a novel protective ventilator circuit component and to verify its performance by water seal and anti-splash experiments.Methods A novel protective ventilator circuit component had a design scheme with the multifunctional joint,and consisted of a tee connection tube,an isolation sleeve and a stop sleeve,of which,the tee connection tube was made of polyethylene polymer material and the others were made of silicone material.The tee connection tube had a T-shaped structure with two standard connection ports,which was composed of an adapter,a sealing cap,a plug and a sealing ring;the isolation sleeve was in the shape of a cylinder with a raised bottom,which was inserted into the adapter;the stop sleeve was located in the isolation sleeve,with an inverted frustum of a cone at the bottom and a rounded hole in the middle of the inverted frustum.An open ventilator circuit tube was involved in the performance verification of the circuit component developed.In the water seal experiment,sputum aspiration was simulated and the heights of the liquid level drop in the L-shaped tubes were compared after sputum aspiration.In the anti-splash experiment,the infection rates on the surfaces of the sterile hole towels and gloves were calculated.Results Water seal experiment showed after sputum aspiration the open ventilator circuit tube had the liquid level at the L-shaped tube higher significantly than that of the circuit component;the anti-splash experiment indicated sputum aspiration resulted in the occurance of the splashing out of the secretion and 77.5%infection rate by the open ventilator circuit tube,while no splashing out and 0%infection rate by the circuit component developed.Conclusion The novel protective ventilator circuit component behaves well in sealing and anti-splashing,and thus is worthy of clinical application for sputum aspiration.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(4):113-117]

Aim To study whether intravenous injec-tion of miR-129-3p mimetic(agomir)can resist bone loss caused by hind limb disuse,and to provide new i-deas for preventing bone loss in microgravity environ-ment.Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into the control group(CON),tail suspension model group(TS),tail suspension+miR-129-3p agomir administration group(miRNA)and tail suspension+miR-129-3p negative sequence agomir control group(NC).The miRNA group was given 4 mg·kg-1 miR-129-3p agomir by intravenous injection into the medial canthus twice a week.The NC agomir group were consistent with those in the miR-129-3p agomir group,and the CON and TS groups were given only equal volumes of normal saline.After four weeks,all mice were sacrificed and samples were collected.Micro-CT scan of femur,three-point femur bending test,serum bone metabolism index detection,oxidative stress index detection and osteogenesis-related protein expression analysis in bone tissue were per-formed.Results After four weeks,the number of tra-becular bone in the TS group was significantly re-duced,and Tb.BMD,Tb.Th,Tb.N,Tb.BS/TV and Tb.BV/TV were significantly lower than those in the CON group(P＜0.01).While Tb.Sp TS group was significantly higher than the CON group(P＜0.05),the maximum load and flexural strength of the femur significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the content of ser-um bone formation index PINP was significantly lower than that of the CON group(P＜0.01),and the con-tent of bone resorption index CTX-I was significantly higher than that of the CON group(P＜0.01),the content of serum oxidative damage indexes 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the expression of osteogenesis-related pro-teins in bone tissue markedly decreased(P＜0.01).However,the increase or decrease of all indexes in miRNA group was significantly lower than that in TS group.Conclusions miR-129-3p mimetic can signifi-cantly reduce bone loss caused by hind limb disuse.This experiment provides a new idea and method for preventing bone loss in microgravity environment.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty and traditional open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 70 patients with AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture who were admitted to Wuhan Fourth Hospital from September 2019 to October 2022, including 35 males and 35 females, aged 24-62 years [(44.9±9.5)years]. Among them, 41 patients underwent traditional open reduction and internal fixation (open reduction group), while 29 patients underwent robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty (balloon group). The following parameters were compared between the two groups: incision length, operative blood loss, number of intraoperative fluoroscopies, operation duration, and length of hospital stay; Rasmussen radiological scores at 3 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up and the fracture healing time; pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores preoperatively, and at 2 days and 3 months postoperatively; knee joint range of motion at 5 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up; Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee function scores at 3, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up; incidence rate of complications at 15 days postoperatively.Results:All the patients were followed for 12-24 months [18(17, 20)months]. The incision length, operative blood loss and length of hospital stay in the balloon group were 1.6(1.5, 3.0)cm, 5.0(5.0, 5.0)ml and 11.0(9.0, 14.0)days, less than those in the open reduction group [12.0(11.0, 12.0)cm, 100.0(50.0, 120.0)ml and 15.0(13.0, 20.0)days] ( P<0.01). The number of intraoperative fluoroscopies and operation duration in the open reduction group were 9.0(7.0, 10.0)times and 75.0(60.0, 90.0)minutes, less than those in the balloon group [336.0(335.0, 340.0)times and [90.0(70.0, 105.0)minutes] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the Rasmussen radiological scores between the two groups at 3 days, 3 months postoperatively, or at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). The fracture healing time in the balloon group was 3.0(3.0, 3.0)months, shorter than 3.0(3.0, 3.5)months in the open reduction group ( P<0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in VAS scores before operation or at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). However, the VAS score was 2.0(2.0, 3.0)points at 2 days postoperatively in the balloon group, lower than 5.0(5.0, 6.0)points in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). The knee joint range of motion at 5 days, 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were 90.0(85.0, 90.0)°, 135.0(130.0, 135.0)° and 140.0(135.0, 140.0)° in the balloon group, better than 65.0(60.0, 70.0)°, 125.0(120.0, 130.0)°, 130.0(130.0, 140.0)° in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). Similarly, the HSS knee function scores at 3, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were 80.0(80.0, 81.0)points, 91.0(90.0, 92.0)points, and 95.0(93.0, 96.0)points in the balloon group, better than 71.0(70.0, 72.0)points, 83.0(81.0, 84.0)points, and 86.0(84.0, 88.0)points in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). The incidence rate of complications in the balloon group was 0, comparable to 12% (5/41) in the open reduction group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional open reduction and internal fixation surgery, robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty in the treatment of AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture significantly reduces surgical trauma, alleviates postoperative pain, promotes fracture healing, and accelerates functional recovery of the affected limbs.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

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.

Aim To investigate the antidepressant mechanism of hyperforin via the utilization of single-cell sequencing technology.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group,depres-sion model group,and hyperforin intervention group.The chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)model was induced and drug interventions were administered for 28 d.Behavioral experiments were conducted to as-sess depressive symptoms,and hippocampal tissue was collected for single-cell RNA sequencing.Key cell populations and differentially expressed genes across groups were identified,followed by PPI network,GO,and KEGG enrichment analysis.Results Behavioral experiments indicated that CUMS successfully induced depressive symptoms in mice,while hyperforin im-proved depressive behavior.In the depression model group,the proportion of brain perivascular macrophages(PVM)increased,and this proportion decreased after hyperforin intervention,approaching the level seen in the control group.The top 20 common differentially ex-pressed genes in the PVM subpopulation were Saa3,Hbb-bs and Ccl24.PPI network analysis identified core targets,including Ccl2,Dhx9,C3,Msr1,Cxcl2 and Cx3cr1.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed pathways related to chemokines,phagosome formation,and inosi-tol phosphate metabolism.Conclusion The antide-pressant mechanism of hyperforin may be related to the regulation of Ccl24 and its related chemokine signaling pathway by PVM.
