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.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of natural antigen B(nAgB)to protect Immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)mouse model by influencing autophagy.Methods:Twenty-eight female BALB/c mice aged 8-10 weeks were randomly divided into four groups.7 mice of each group were immunized intraperitoneally,the control group was treated with PBS as the control group;ITP group was treated with anti-CD41 monoclonal antibody(anti-CD41Ab)only;nAgB group was treated with nAgB intraperitoneal injection for 5d;nAgB+ITP group was treated with nAgB intraperitoneal injection for 5d,then treated with anti-CD41 Ab.The peripheral blood platelet count in each group was tested;and the spleen and liver should be isolated and weighed,the organ index was calculated;qRT-PCR was used to detect spleen microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3),p62,Beclin-1 mRNA expression levels.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression level of spleen LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ,p62,Beclin-1.Results:Compared with the control group,mice in the ITP group showed a significant decrease in blood PLT count[(102.1±17.9)× 109/L vs(485.4±185.2)×109/L,P＜0.01],a significant increase in spleen index(P＜0.01),mice in the nAgB group showed a significant increase in blood PLT count,rising to(1051±127.6)× 109/L on the 3 day after modeling.Compared with the ITP group,mice in the nAgB+ITP group showed a significant increase in PLT count on the 1 day of anti-CD41 Ab administration[(428.6±131.6)× 109/L vs(102.1±17.9)×109/L,P＜0.05],however,the spleen index was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).qRT-PCR and Western blot results showed that compared with the control group,the mRNA and protein expression levels of spleen LC3,p62 and Beclin-1 were increased in the ITP group of mice(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the ITP group,the nAgB+ITP group could significantly decrease mRNA levels of spleen LC3,p62 and Beclin-1(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and also significantly decrease the protein expression levels of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ,p62 and Beclin-1(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion:nAgB inhibits the transcription and expression levels of autophagy-related genes and regulates immune intolerance,thereby protecting ITP mouse models.

Objective:To investigate effect of comprehensive management intervention based on WeChat multimedia classroom on cardiac function and prognosis in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:Clinical data of 118 elderly patients diagnosed with AMI in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chinese PLA Air Force Military Medical University between August 2021 and December 2022 were retrospectively collected.According to nursing way after operation,they were divided into control group(n=60,comprehensive management interven-tion)and intervention group(n=58,comprehensive management intervention based on WeChat multimedia class-room),both groups were intervened for 5 months.Cardiac function,exercise tolerance,compliance to rehabilita-tion management,self-efficacy and healthy behavior were compared between two groups.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was employed to compare incidence of adverse cardiovascular events during follow-up between two groups.Results:After 5-month intervention,compared with patients in control group,those in intervention group had sig-nificant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(58.14±1.88)％vs.(54.48±1.34)％],6min walking distance(6MWD)[(490.41±59.59)m vs.(394.97±28.20)m],scores of compliance to rehabilitation manage-ment[(6.97±2.03)points vs.(5.03±1.40)points],General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES)[(30.34±4.67)points vs.(23.55±4.86)points]and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ[(137.62±30.17)points vs.(115.95±22.66)points],and significant lower left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV)[(117.90±4.22)ml vs.(131.28±3.61)ml],left ventriadar end-systolic volume(LVESV)[(54.46±2.10)ml vs.(63.15±2.06)ml],serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)[(362.32±25.36)pg/ml vs.(567.58±21.90)pg/ml]and incidence of ad-verse cardiovascular events(6.90％vs.21.67％)(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Conclusion:Comprehensive management intervention based on the WeChat multimedia classroom could significantly improve cardiac function,exercise toler-ance,compliance to rehabilitation,self-efficacy and healthy behavior,and reduce incidence of adverse cardiovas-cular events after operation in elderly AMI patients.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of 4 novel inflammatory markers related to routine blood tests,namely neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),red blood cell distribution width(RDW),hemoglobin-to-RDW ratio(HRR)and systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),in elderly patients with chronic cardiovascular disease(CVD)complicated with frailty.Methods Retrospectively analyze 110 patients with chronic stable CVD who were hospitalized in the cadre ward of cardiovascular medicine at the Air Force Characteristic Medical Center from January 2022 to June 2023.According to the assessment results of the Fried scale,they were divided into three groups:non-frailty group(Fried score=0,n=30),the pre-frailty group(Fried score 1 or 2,n=40)and frailty group(Fried score≥3,n=40).The differences in general information,the impairment rate of daily living activities,miniature nutritional assessment-short form(MNA-SF)scores,mini-mental state examination(MMSE)scores,and the indicators such as NLR,RDW,HRR,and SII among the three groups were compared.Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between NLR,RDW,HRR,SII and frailty scores as well as each frailty indicator.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors for frailty in elderly patients with chronic CVD,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to assess the clinical diagnostic value of NLR and HRR in elderly patients with chronic CVD complicated with frailty.Results Compared with non-frailty group and pre-frailty group,patients in frailty group were older,with higher impaired rates of daily living activities,NLR,RDW,and SII,and lower MNA-SF scores,MMSE scores,and HRR,and differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the frailty score was positively correlated with NLR(rs=0.354,P<0.001),and RDW(rs=0.448,P<0.001),negatively correlated with HRR(rs=-0.232,P=0.024),and had no significant correlation with SII(rs=0.144,P=0.167).Further analysis of the correlation between the above novel inflammatory markers and the 5 components of frailty showed that NLR was positively correlated with fatigue(rs=0.228,P=0.017),slowed walking speed(rs=0.299,P<0.001),and low physical function(rs=0.319,P<0.001);RDW was positively correlated with decreased grip strength(rs=0.321,P<0.001),slowed walking speed(rs=0.422,P<0.001),and low physical function(rs=0.246,P=0.001);and HRR was negatively correlated with slowed walking speed(rs=-0.230,P=0.025),and low physical function(rs=-0.299,P=0.003).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MNA-SF score(OR=0.577,95%CI 0.342-0.973)was an independent protective factor for pre-frailty in elderly patients with chronic CVD(P<0.05);NLR(OR=7.866,95%CI 1.101-56.185)was an independent risk factor for frailty,while HRR(OR=0.344,95%CI 0.120-0.983)and MNA-SF score(OR=0.292,95%CI 0.146-0.580)were independent protective factors for frailty in elderly CVD patients(P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve of NLR and HRR for diagnosing frailty in elderly patients with chronic CVD were 0.778 and 0.749,respectively.Conclusion NLR and HRR have high clinical diagnostic value for frailty in elderly patients with chronic CVD,and are expected to become effective inflammatory markers for screening elderly patients with chronic CVD complicated with frailty.

Objective To explore the application value of fractional anisotropy(FA)analysis of RGB component transformation in different directions of fibers in substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods There were 35 cases of PD and 37 cases of normal control group.After being performed by brain diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)scanning,the sequence was imported into 3DSlicense 5.6.0,and the diffusion module was used to implement pseudo color mapping based on FA,locate and segment substantia nigra,and use the substantia nigra mask as the tracking starting point.After forming tracing,fibers were imported into DTIANALYSIS 1.51,converting the RGB components into FA values for analysis,and visualized the analysis result.At the same time,fiber length,fiber density,and segmented FA point cloud percentage were compared.Results Compared with the normal group,the length of substantia nigra fibers in the PD group was shorter[(95.14±19.85)mm vs(115.99±21.39)mm,P＜0.01],and there was a statistical difference between the two groups.There was no statistical difference in fiber density[(0.07±0.05)/mm3 vs(0.10±0.12)/mm3,P＞0.05]between control group and PD group.The percentage of FA segment point clouds in the PD group was lower than that in the normal group at 0.9-1,but the principal component characteristics of the point cloud ratios in each FA segment were not significant.Conclusion Based on the transformation of RGB components into FA analysis,the length,density,and FA values of substantia nigra nerve fibers in PD patients can be quantified and visualized,providing a basis for the study of PD neural pathways.

Objective To assess coronary microvascular obstruction(MVO)after percutaneous coronary intervention in(PCI)patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)and to investigate its value for patient prognosis.Methods We enrolled 97 patients who were hospitalized for acute STEMI at Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital from May 2021 to June 2024,underwent emergency PCI during hospitalization,and completed cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)at a median of 7(5,8)days after the procedure.Patients were classified into MVO group(n=58)and non-MVO group(n=39)according to the results of CMR.Cox regression was used to analyse predictors of adverse events after PCI.Patients were followed for a median of 11.5(8.5,24.5)months for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE,a composite outcome including readmission for heart failure,recurrent myocardial infarction,target vessel restenosis,target vessel revascularisation,and cardiac death)and secondary endpoint events(left ventricular remodelling,non-cardiac death).Results MVO was evidenced in 58 patients(59.79％).Multifactorial Cox regression analysis showed that MVO(HR 7.024,95％CI 1.408-35.027,P=0.017)and the proportion of inactive myocardium to the left ventricle(HR 1.066,95％CI 1.014-1.121,P=0.012)were the independent predictors factors for the incidence of adverse events in STEMI patients after PCI.The median follow-up time was 11.5(8.5,24.5)months.There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of MACE between the MVO group and the non-MVO group(P=0.347).However,the MVO group had a higher incidence of secondary endpoints(32.76％ vs.2.56％,P＜0.001)and a higher incidence of left ventricular remodeling(29.31％ vs.2.56％,P＜0.001).Kaplan Meier survival analysis showed that the prognosis of the non-MVO group was significantly better than that of the MVO group(Log-rank P＜0.001).Conclusions MVO after PCI in patients with acute STEMI is a good predictor of clinical prognosis.

Objective To explore the effects of different nerve blocks under ultrasound guidance on the expression of inflammatory factors after total hip replacement in the elderly,and its correlation with postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD).Methods A total of 100 elderly patients who underwent total hip replacement in our hospital from February to November 2023 were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into the femoral nerve block(FNB)group and the pericapsule nerve group block(PNGB)group according to different nerve block methods during the operation.The expression of inflammatory factors such as serum interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-10(IL-10),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and tumor necrosis factor-β(TNF-β)1 day before surgery,6 hours after anesthesia,1 day after surgery,and 3 days after surgery of patients in the two groups were compared.The cognitive function of patients was evaluated by the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score,and the pain of patients was evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS)score.GEE model was used to evaluate the effects of two kinds of nerve block on the expression of inflammatory factors.Logistic regression was used to analyzed the correlation between postoperative inflammatory factors and POCD in patients.Results The levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α and TNF-β 1 day after operation in the PNGB group were higher than those in the FNB group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The MMSE score 1 day after surgery in the PNGB group was significantly higher than that in the FNB group(P<0.05),and the VAS score 3 days after surgery was significantly lower than that in the FNB group(P<0.05).GEE model showed that PNGB has a greater impact on IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,and TNF-β.IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,and TNF-β were all independently related to POCD induced by two different nerve blocks(P<0.05).Conclusion PNGB can effectively inhibit pro-inflammatory factors,reduce inflammatory stress responses,and maintain the balance of inflammatory factors.Inflammatory factors are independently related to POCD induced by different nerve blocks.With the occurrence of inflammatory stress response,the risk of POCD in patients increases.
