Objective To explore the application value of computed tomography (CT) three-dimensional reconstruction in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A total of 102 patients who underwent TKA in our hospital between April 2022 and April 2025 were enrolled and divided using a random number table into a traditional group (51 cases, routine preoperative evaluation) and a study group (51 cases, CT three-dimensional reconstruction-assisted surgery). The therapeutic efficacy at 3 months postoperatively and perioperative indicators were compared between the two groups. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle was measured preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Complications were documented. Results The excellent/good rate in the study group (92.16%) was higher than that in the traditional group (74.51%) (P<0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and hospital stay in the study group were (69.52 ± 7.11) min, (102.69 ± 8.54) mL, (167.33 ± 12.35) mL, and (10.93 ± 2.37) days, respectively, which were shorter than those in the traditional group [(78.45 ± 5.98) min, (108.36 ± 10.02) mL, (175.96 ± 14.93) mL, and (12.04 ± 1.95) days] (P<0.05). At 3 months postoperatively, the HKA angle was 178.02° ± 1.05° in the study group and 177.45° ± 1.34° in the traditional group, both were significantly improved compared with those before operation, with the study group showing better improvement (P<0.05). The HSS knee and WOMAC scores in both groups at 3 and 6 months postoperatively were improved compared with preoperative scores (P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months postoperatively, the study group showed higher HSS knee score and lower WOMAC score than the traditional group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (3.92%) was lower than that in the traditional group (17.65%) (P<0.05). Conclusion TKA guided by CT three-dimensional reconstruction improved the excellent/good rate, optimized HKA angle and knee function, shortened operation time and hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage volume, and decreased the incidence of complications.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of extended abdominal wall resec-tion combined with reconstruction for abdominal wall aggressive fibromatosis (AF).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 70 patients with abdominal wall AF who were admitted to 3 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, between January 2009 and July 2024 were collected. There were 6 males and 64 females, aged (36±13)years. All patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. Comparisons of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1)Surgical situations. All 70 patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall recons-truction. The operation time was 90(91)minutes and duration of postoperative hospital stay was 10(6)days. Of the 70 patients, 41 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus polypropylene mesh abdominal wall reconstruction, with a defect area of 60(54)cm2. The mesh placement method was uniformly Sublay repair. The remaining 29 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus direct suture repair, with a defect area of 34(31)cm2. There was a significant difference in the abdominal wall defect area between the two groups ( U=291.00, P<0.05). All 70 patients achieved R 0 resection. The distance from surgical margin to tumor edge was 2-3 cm in 39 cases and >3 cm in 31 cases. (2) Tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. All 70 patients were followed up for 78(90)months. During follow-up, 10 patients developed tumor recurrence (5 cases with mesh reinforced abdominal wall reconstruction and 5 cases with direct suture repair). Among them, one case was monitored, one case underwent radiotherapy, and neither received further surgical treatment. The remaining 8 patients underwent repeat R 0 resection, and no further recurrence occurred. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the patients with mesh reconstruction and patients with direct suture repair ( χ2=0.06, P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence rate was 9.7%(3/31) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge >3 cm, versus 17.9%(7/39) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge of 2-3 cm, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.97, P>0.05). Sixty patients had no tumor recurrence. During follow-up, none of the 70 patients developed incisional hernia. Two patients experienced postoperative wound infection, and 6 cases developed postoperative chronic pain. Conclusion:Extended abdominal wall resection combined with reconstruction is safe and feasible for abdominal wall AF.

Objective:To estimate the radiation dose to caregivers and the public from 177Lu- peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for pediatric neuroblastoma patients and determine the duration of contact restrictions, in order to provide a reference for relevant radiation protection measures. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted by collecting data from 18 pediatric neuroblastoma patients, aged between 3 and 13 (6.72±2.72), who received 177Lu-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid-D-Phe1-Tyr3-Thr8-octreotide (DOTATATE) treatment at the Nuclear Medicine Department of Shandong Cancer Hospital from June 2023 to July 2023. Absorbed dose rate in air at 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 2 m from the patients was measured using a radiation-survey at 1, 4, 24, 48 and 96 h after administration. The whole-body region of interest was delined using HERMES software. Subsequently, curve regression fitting was performed using a biexponential function model. By incorporating hypothesized social contact durations, the effective doses received by family members and the public in contact with patients were estimated. Additionally, MIM software was used to outline the whole-body VOI to obtain the total volume of lesions, and the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient was employed to analyze the relationship between the absorbed dose rate in air and clinical indicators as well as the total volume of lesions. Results:The 177Lu-DOTATATE administration dose was (4 353.42±1 451.51) MBq. All patients were discharged from hospital 24 h after 177Lu-DOTATATE administration. At the time of discharge, patients had excreted (76.70±3.99)% of the administered activity, and the absorbed dose rate in air at 0.1, 1 and 2 m from the patients were (32.74±6.98), 3.68(3.01, 4.70) and (1.22±0.51) μSv/h, respectively. After being discharged, the radiation doses to caregivers from children aged 2-5 years and 5-13 years were (2.47±1.80) mSv and (0.88±0.47) mSv, respectively. The contact restriction duration was 2 d for nighttime sleeping with family members and 1 d for contact with other children. On the day of discharge, patients should limit their time on public transportation within 4 h and do not need to restrict private transportation. Conclusions:To ensure the effective dose kept within the safety limits stipulated by current regulations, it is necessary to implement contact restrictions for patients’ family members and the public. After implementing preventive measures, 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment is a safe radionuclide therapeutic option.

Objective To develop and validate a risk prediction model for social dysfunction in middle-aged and elderly patients with ischemic stroke.Methods A non-matched case-control study was conducted among ischemic stroke patients admitted to the neurology department of a tertiary hospital in Tangshan between August 2022 and March 2023.Patients who developed social dysfunction within 3 months after discharge were assigned to a case group,while those without it were assigned to a control group.Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify significant predictors and construct a nomogram-based prediction model.The model's discrimination and calibration were assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Internal validation was performed via bootstrap resampling,and clinical utility was evaluated using decision curve analysis.Results Logistic regression identified the following as significant risk factors for social dysfunction(P＜0.05):male gender,age≥60 years,primary education or below,rural residence,income＜3 000,cognitive impairment,low disability acceptance,poor self-management ability,suboptimal utilization of chronic disease resources,low future-oriented coping,and high cumulative ecological risk.The nomogram achieved an AUC of 0.874,with a sensitivity of 79.4％and specificity of 80.7％.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated good calibration(x2=3.631,P=0.88).Conclusion The developed nomogram provides an effective tool for predicting the risk of social dysfunction in middle-aged and elderly ischemic stroke patients,facilitating early identification of high-risk individuals.

Objective:To investigate the role of microglial polarization modulated by triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2/insulin-like growth factor-1(TREM2/IGF-1) in hypertensive model mice exposed to diesel exhaust particulate matter (DPM), with a focus on its implications for anxious- and depressive-like behaviors.Methods:SPF-grade male C57BL/6J mice were divided into the control group, the hypertension group, the DPM group, and the hypertension+ DPM group according to the principle of weight-matching, with 10 mice in each group. The hypertension model was established by intraperitoneal injection of angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) in hypertension group and hypertension+ DPM group, and mice in the control group and DPM group were intraperitoneally injected with an equivalent amount of 0.9% NaCl solution.DPM suspension was instilled into the nasal cavity of the mice in DPM group and hypertension+ DPM group(1 μg/μL, 10 μL, once a day for 56 days).Behavioral tests, including the sucrose preference test, tail suspension test, elevated plus maze test, and open field test, were conducted to evaluate anxious- and depressive-like behaviors.TREM2-overexpressing BV2 cell model was established through plasmid transfection technology.Western blot was applied to measure the protein expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, Arg-1, TREM2 and IGF-1.SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and LSD- t test was used for post-hoc testing. Results:(1)There were statistically significant differences in the sucrose preference rate, immobility time in the tail suspension test, percentage of time and number of entries into the open arms in the elevated plus maze, as well as the total distance, percentage of time spent in the central area in the open field test among the four groups of mice( F=22.82, 21.60, 36.17, 20.99, 5.85, 13.24, all P<0.01).The sucrose preference rate, percentage of time spent in the open arms, percentage of number of entries into the open arms, total distance and percentage of time spent in the central area of the DPM group and the hypertension group were lower than those of the control group( P<0.05), while the immobility time of the two group was higher than that of the control group( P<0.05). The sucrose preference rate((55.62±4.46)%) and percentage of time spent in the open arms((4.17±0.62)%) of the hypertension+ DPM group were lower than those of the DPM group((60.78±3.21)%, (6.44±0.89)%) and the hypertension group((66.26±4.25)%, (6.53±1.29)%)(all P<0.05), while the immobility time((155.42±12.50)s) was higher than that of the DPM group((129.03±5.43)s) and the hypertension group((129.28±10.55)s)(both P<0.05).(2)Western blot analysis revealed statistically significant differences in protein expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, Arg-1, and TREM2/IGF-1 in the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC) among the four experimental groups( F=12.23, 10.51, 33.89, 145.40, 11.85, 15.56, 33.11, all P<0.05).The hypertension+ DPM group demonstrated significantly higher protein expression of IL-1β and IL-6 compared to the hypertension group (all P<0.05). Relative to the hypertension+ DPM group, TNF-α and iNOS protein expression was elevated in both the hypertension group and DPM group, whereas Arg-1 protein expression was lower in the hypertension group(all P<0.05). Additionally, TREM2 and IGF-1 protein expression in the hypertension and DPM groups were lower than those in the control group but higher than those in the hypertension+ DPM group(all P<0.05).(3)The protein expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in BV2 cells of the DPM+ AngⅡ-TREM2 overexpression group were lower than those of the DPM+ AngⅡ group. The expression of iNOS was lower than that in the DPM+ AngⅡ group, while the expression of Arg-1 was higher than that in the DPM+ AngⅡ group(all P<0.05). Conclusion:DPM exposure aggravates anxious- and depressive-like behaviors in hypertensive model mice, with TREM2/IGF-1-regulated microglial polarization playing a significant role in this process.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

To investigate the in vitro inhibitory mechanism of Nymphaea candida total flavonoids(NCTF)against Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)and its safety in mice,this study first deter-mined the antibacterial effect of NCTF on the clinically isolated strain S.aureus-C1.Subsequently,the inhibitory mechanism of NCTF on S.aureus-C1 was explored by measuring its effects on bac-terial growth curves,microstructure,intracellular AKP and LDH levels,and biofilm formation.Safety evaluation included determination of LD50 and MDT in mice,as well as analysis of serum biochemical parameters,organ indices,and histopathological observations.Results showed that NCTF effectively inhibited S.aureus-C1 proliferation,with an inhibition zone diameter of(18.98±0.67)mm and a MIC of 6.25 g/L.A concentration of 2×MIC nearly completely suppressed bacte-rial growth.Scanning electron microscopy revealed structural damage to bacterial cells,including collapse and shrinkage.AKP and LDH assays indicated significantly increased AKP activity(P＜0.05)and decreased intracellular LDH activity(P＜0.05)in the supernatant of drug-treated groups,demonstrating NCTF-induced disruption of cell walls and membranes leading to leakage of AKP and LDH.Crystal violet staining of biofilms showed significant inhibition rates of(43.77±9.16)％and(61.71±9.82)％at 2 × MIC and 4 × MIC concentrations,respectively(P＜0.05).Safe-ty assessments indicated low toxicity of NCTF in mice,with transient effects that returned to nor-mal levels within a short period.These findings demonstrate that NCTF exhibits potent antibacte-rial activity against S.aureus-C1 by damaging bacterial cell structures,increasing cell wall/mem-brane permeability,reducing biofilm formation,and displaying low toxicity.This study provides scientific evidence for clinical drug screening against bovine mastitis and the development of Nym-phaea candida resources.
