objective To compare the surgical effect of short median incision approach and mini-incision approach in patients with medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.Methods A total of 65 patients with knee medial compartment osteoarthritis were treated with Oxford third-generation artificial unicondylar joint from April 2012 to July 2016 in PLA 960 hospital were enrolled.Among them,31 patients were treated with mini-incision approach and 34 patients were treated with short median incision approach.The postoperative incision healing and follow-up status of patients in the two groups were compared.The operating time of two incision approaches was counted,and the total blood loss during and after operation were calculated by Gross equation.The time to get out of bed after operation,the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores before operation,1 day after operation,1 week after operation and 1 month after operation,and the hospital for special surgery(HSS)scores before operation,1 month after operation,3 months after operation and at the last follow-up were counted.Results Three patients with previous diabetes had delayed incision healing after surgery,one patient in the mini-incision group suffered pad dislocation 6 months after operation,and three patients died of other medical diseases within 3 years after operation.The 5-year survival rate of the prosthesis was 93.85%.In the mini-incision group,the average preoperative muscle strength of quadriceps femoris was(3.10±0.60)level,and the average postoperative time to get out of bed was(1.32±0.35)days;In the short median incision group,the average preoperative muscle strength of quadriceps femoris was(3.18±0.63)level,and the average postoperative time to get out of bed was(1.37±0.41)days.There was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative time to get out of bed,operation time,total blood loss during and after operation,VAS score,HSS score of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The short median incision approach and mini-incision approach for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty have similar clinical effects.The short median incision approach has clearer exposure during operation,and the patellofemoral joint can be better treated,which provides conditions for modifying the surgery;the mini-incision approach is highly accepted by patients and minimizes soft tissue damage.Both of them have their own advantages.

Irreducible anteromedial radial head dislocation (IARHD) caused by transposed biceps tendon is rare. Delayed diagnosis and surgical failure often occur. A 46-year-old fisherman presented with 10 days history of painful swelling and restricted movement of his right elbow due to strangulation injury by a fishing boat cable. On examination, the images of the right elbow reveals in a "semi-extended and pronated" elastic fixation position. Radiography and 3-dimensional reconstruction CT reveals an isolated anteromedial radial head dislocation with extreme protonation of the radius and the bicipital tuberosity towards the posterior aspect of the elbow joint, and MRI shows biceps tendon wrapping around the radial neck, similar to umbilical cord wrapping seen in newborns. The Henry approach was applied for the first time to reduce the biceps tendon. The patient achieved a good functional recovery at 26 months, which represents the first reported case of IARHD without fracture caused by biceps tendon in an adult. In treatment of IARHD, attention should be paid to the phenomenon of biceps tendon transposition. Careful clinical examination, comprehensive imaging modalities, and appropriate surgical approach are the keys to successful management.

Objective To investigate the effects of long-term high altitude exposure on the composition and structure of the gut microbiota in rats in different intestinal segments,and to explore the key affected intestinal segments initially.Methods Six-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group(Control group)and a high altitude exposed group(HA group).The HA group was exposed to a low-pressure oxygen chamber at a simulated altitude of 3500-4000 m for 20 weeks,after which the microbiomes of both groups were analysed using high-throughput 16s rRNA sequencing and core changes in the duodenal,jejunal,ileal and colonic microflora communities were determined.Results The microbial abundance of the colon was significantly reduced in the hypoxic environment of high altitude,the microbial abundance and diversity of the foregut did not change significantly,and the AVD value of the colon was higher than that of the other intestinal segments,and it tended to be more stable after prolonged exposure to treatment in high altitude;At the Bray-curtis distance,the Microbial structure of the ileum and colon was significantly different between the Control and HA groups,whereas the duodenum and jejunum showed no significant changes;The predominant phylum in all intestinal segments was Firmicutes,but the dominant phyla varied in different intestinal segments and treatment groups,with Lactobacillus spp.contributing highly to the changes in the gut microflora;the complexity of the phylogenetic network of the ileum was higher than that of the other intestinal segments,whereas the colon had the fewest phylogenetic interactions;the jejunum and the ileum consisted mainly of abundant taxa,whereas the colon had a significantly smaller proportion of abundant taxa,mainly Conditionally rare taxa.The duodenum differed in taxa composition between the Control and HA groups.Conclusion High-altitude hypoxia can affect the microecological environment of the ileum and colon by remodelling the composition and structure of the intestinal microflora,especially in the ileum compared with the other three intestinal segments.In addition,the ileum is characterised by both lower complexity of the microflora structure and the prominent role of key genera in the high altitude hypoxia study,in which the changes of Lactobacillus spp.are worthy of more in-depth study at a later stage.Therefore,the ileal microbiota of rats may have a higher research value compared with other intestinal segments.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

Aim To explore the mechanism by which calpain-1 promotes hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension pulmonary artery endothelial cell apoptosis through endoplasmic reticulum stress. Methods C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and calpain-1 gene knockout mice (KO) were reared in a hypoxic chamber (10% O

BackgroundType 1 diabetes is caused by a chronic immune response that destroys islet beta cells， resulting in elevated blood glucose. Mesenchymal stem cells can prevent and treat the development of diabetes and its complications. However， little is known about the effects and potential mechanisms of Gingival mesenchymal stem cells （GMSCs） in preventing diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanism of GMSCs in preventing type 1 diabetes in mice and to find targets for clinical treatment of diabetes. MethodsWe injected human GMSCs into NOD mice to observe the trend of blood glucose， observed the survival of pancreatic β-cells by immunohistochemistry， and detected the change of immune cells in the spleen of mice by flow analysis. Finally， the immune cells in NOD mice were transfused into NOD-SCID mice to observe the onset of diabetes in NOD-SCID mice. ResultsGMSCs significantly reduced the incidence of diabetes in NOD mice， with 64% of control mice developing diabetes at 27 weeks of age compared with 35% in the GMSC group， P=0.013. The percentage of Follicular B cells（FO B cell） in the spleen of GMSCs-treated mice decreased from （52.2±4.1）% to （43.2±5.3）%， P=0.008， while other types of immune cells did not change significantly. The immunohistochemical results showed that GMSCs could effectively improve the survival of pancreatic β-cells， which could continuously produce insulin to control blood glucose. Finally， we found the spleen cells transfusion could prevent the development of diabetes in NOD-SCID mice. ConclusionGMSCs can reduce diabetes in mice by reducing FO B cells in the spleen.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment of rare primary lumbar intervertebral space infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae， and provide clinical experience for the diagnosis and treatment of this rare spinal infection. MethodsAn elderly male patient with low back pain and numbness in the left lower extremity for more than 7 months， which aggravated for more than 1 week， was diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation after laboratory and imaging examinations. After admission， the symptoms became acutely aggravated， and re-examination of lumbar enhanced MRI showed local enhancement at the posterior edge of the L3/4 intervertebral space. The VAS score was 9 points， and the lumbar JOA score was 6 points. A posterior lumbar interbody fusion of L3-L5 was performed， and L3/4 intervertebral disc specimens were collected during the operation for bacterial culture. ResultsBacterial culture results showed Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae infection. The patient was treated with sensitive antibiotics for 6 weeks after the operation， and the patient was cured during the follow-up of half a year after the operation. ConclusionFor middle-aged and elderly patients with clinical manifestations of acute severe low back pain or lower extremity pain， the possibility of spinal infection should be considered when routine laboratory and imaging examinations suggest lumbar degenerative diseases.

Zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolithic stationary phases have attracted increasing attention for their use in hydrophilic interaction chromatography.In this study,a novel hydrophilic polymeric monolith was fabricated through photo-initiated copolymerization of 3-(3-vinyl-1-imidazolio)-l-propanesulfonate(SBVI)with pentaerythritol triacrylate using methanol and tetrahydrofuran as the porogenic system.Notably,the duration for the preparation of this novel monolith was as little as 5 min,which was significantly shorter than that required for previously reported sulfobetaine-based monoliths prepared via conventional thermally initiated copolymerization.Moreover,these monoliths showed good morphology,permeability,porosity(62.4％),mechanical strength(over 15 MPa),column efficiency(51,230 plates/m),and reproducibility(relative standard deviations for all analytes were lower than 4.6％).Mechanistic studies indicated that strong hydrophilic and negative electrostatic interactions might be responsible for the retention of polar analytes on the zwitterionic SBVI-based monolith.In particular,the resulting monolith exhibited good anti-protein adhesion ability and low nonspecific protein adsorption.These excellent features seem to favor its application in bioanalysis.Therefore,the novel zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolith was successfully employed for the highly selective separation of small bioactive compounds and the efficient enrichment of N-glycopeptides from complex samples.In this study,we prepared a novel zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolith with good performance and developed a simpler and faster method for preparation of zwitterionic monoliths.

A high-precision human metabolic measurement system is designed. The system uses STM32F103 as the main control chip to acquire oxygen, carbon dioxide and flow signals to calculate four quantitative indicators: oxygen consumption(V_O2), carbon dioxide production(V_CO2), respiratory entropy(RQ) and resting energy metabolism(REE), and finally uses an upper computer to display the calculation results.In this paper, the signal acquisition circuit design was carried out for the oxygen sensor, carbon dioxide sensor and flow sensor, and the validity of the device was verified with the American machine MGCDiagnositcs using Bland-Altman analysis method, and the results showed that the four parameters of V_O2,V_CO2, RQ and REE of both devices fell in the agreement interval of more than 95%. The device thus provides accurate metabolic measurements and offers an effective tool for the field of general health and clinical nutrition support in China.

Objective: Systematically summarize the research progress of clinical trials of gastric cancer oncology drugs and the overview of marketed drugs in China from 2012 to 2021, providing data and decision-making evidence for relevant departments. Methods: Based on the registration database of the drug clinical trial registration and information disclosure platform of Food and Drug Administration of China and the data query system of domestic and imported drugs, the information on gastric cancer drug clinical trials, investigational drugs and marketed drugs from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021 was analyzed, and the differences between Chinese and foreign enterprises in terms of trial scope, trial phase, treatment lines and drug type, effect and mechanism studies were compared. Results: A total of 114 drug clinical trials related to gastric tumor were registered in China from 2012 to 2021, accounting for 3.7% (114/3 041) of all anticancer drug clinical trials in the same period, the registration number showed a significant growth rate after 2016 and reached its peak with 32 trials in 2020. Among them, 85 (74.6%, 85/114) trials were initiated by Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise. Compared with foreign pharmaceutical enterprise, Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise had higher rates of phase I trials (35.3% vs 6.9%, P=0.001), but the rate of international multicenter trials (11.9% vs 67.9%, P<0.001) was relatively low. There were 76 different drugs involved in relevant clinical trials, of which 65 (85.5%) were targeted drugs. For targeted drugs, HER2 is the most common one (14 types), followed by PD-1 and multi-target VEGER. In the past ten years, 3 of 4 marketed drugs for gastric cancer treatment were domestic and included in the national medical insurance directory. Conclusions: From 2012 to 2021, China has made some progress in drug research and development for gastric carcinoma. However, compared with the serious disease burden, it is still insufficient. Targeted strengthening of research and development of investment in many aspects of gastric cancer drugs, such as new target discovery, matured target excavating, combination drug development and early line therapy promotion, is the key work in the future, especially for domestic companies.
