With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common sports injury that has a significant impact on knee function and patients′ mobility. With the popularity of national fitness campaign in China, the incidence of ACL injury is increasing year by year. Currently, there still lacks clinical standards or guidelines on how to choose appropriate treatment methods, surgical plans and rehabilitation protocols for ACL injury. In order to timely reflect the new treatment concept of ACL injury, standardize its diagnosis and treatment and improve the curative effect, the Sports Medicine Society of Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized domestic orthopedic and sports medicine experts to formulate the "clinical evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury (2022 version)" based on the level of evidence-based medicine and in compliance with the principle of scientificity, practicability and advancement. The present guideline includes 12 recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of ACL injury in order to provide guidance and assistance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ACL injury in China.

Objective To compare the effects of different anesthesia techniques on early prognosis in patients undergoing hip joint replacement. Methods The demographic, preoperative and postoperative data of 478 patients, aged 18-95 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅳ, who underwent elective unilateral hip joint replacement in Tongji Hospital from May 2014 to December 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into general anesthesia group (group GA, n=197), peripheral nerve block group ( group PNB, n=147) and peripheral nerve block combined with general an-esthesia group ( group PNB+GA, n=134) . The amount of crystalloid solution and colloid solution infused, consumption of sufentanil and requirement for vasoactive agents were recorded during operation. The dura-tion of anesthetic recovery room stay, length of hospital stay before and after operation and total length of hospital stay were recorded. The development of complications within 48 h after operation, therapy after ad-mission to intensive care unit and in-hospital fatality were also recorded. Results Compared with group GA, the intraoperative consumption of sufentanil was significantly decreased in group PNB+GA, and the a-mount of crystalloid solution infused, urine output, consumption of sufentanil, requirement for vasoactive agents and incidence of postoperative hypoxemia, pulmonary infection and acute cerebral infarction were significantly decreased in group PNB+GA ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group PNB+GA, the consumption of sufentanil, requirement for vasoactive agents and incidence of postoperative hypoxemia, pulmonary infec-tion and acute cerebral infarction were significantly decreased in group PNB (P<0. 05). Conclusion Compared with general anesthesia or with peripheral nerve block-general anesthesia, peripheral nerve block is more helpful in improving early prognosis in patients undergoing hip joint replacement.

Background Optical nerve damage of glaucomatous eyes is associated with intracranial pressure.Conventional method of evaluating intracranial pressure is to measure cerebrospinal pressure by lumber puncture.However,the measurement of intraorbital optical nerve parameters,a novel method of evaluating intracranial pressure,is introduced in this field.Objective This study was to measure and analyze the intraorbital optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and cross sectional area (ONSA) in normal population using multi-slice spiral CT.Methods This study protocol was approved by Clinical Ethic Committee of Shenzhen Chinese Traditional Medical Hospital and followed Hersinki Declaration.Informed consent was obtained from each individual prior to any medical examination.One hundred and five eyes of 105 normal persons with normal cerebral CT image were enrolled in Shenzhen Chinese Traditional Medical Hospital from January 2012 to September 2013.Cerebral volume was scanned in all the individuals by 64 slice spiral CT.The brain images were obtained for the curve planar rebuilding of intraorbital optical nerve on image post-processing workstation.The maximum and minimum of ONSD and the ONSA in axial sections at 3,6,9,12 and 15 mm far away from globe wall were measured using a standardized technique to analyze the change of optical nerve parameters at different point locations.These parameters were compared in different gender or eyes.The correlation among age and the optical nerve parameters at 3 mm far away from globe wall was evaluated by multivariate regression analysis.Results The average maximal ONSDs were (6.24±0.47), (5.56±0.44),(5.18±0.43),(4.82±0.41) and (4.69±0.41) mm;the average minimal ONSDs were (5.56±0.50),(4.97± 0.41) ,(4.55±0.35),(4.26±0.39) and (4.10±0.40) mm;the average ONSAs were (27.68±4.40),(22.02±3.35) , (18.74± 2.75) , (16.34±2.72) , (15.40±2.68) mm2 at 3,6,9,12 and 15 mm far away from posterior eyeball wall,respectively, showing significant differences in the maximal/minimal ONSDs and ONSAs among the different point locations (F =218.329,215.906,246.924, all at P =0.001).No significant differences were found in the maximal/minimal ONSDs and ONSAs between male and female or between the right eyes and left eyes (gender:t=1.805,P=0.074;t=1.930,P=0.056;t=1.329,P=0.187;eyes:t=0.724,P=0.471;t=1.562,P=0.121;t=1.424,P=0.158).No significant correlations were seen between age and maximal/minimal ONSDs or ONSAs with the coefficients of 1.873,7.415 and-0.853 correspondingly (P =0.847,0.460,0.637).Conclusions Intraorbital section of optical nerve can be rebuilt using standardized technique after scanning of 64 slice spiral CT.The cross section of intraorbital optic nerve sheath is oval in shape and the optic nerve is thinning with the increase of distance far away posterior eyeball wall in normal populatuion.

Objective To evaluate the effects of high-fidelity simulation teaching on the clinical decision-making ability and critical thinking ability of new nurses. Methods A total of 39 newly recruited nurses in our hospital in 2014 were included in this study, and high-fidelity simulation teaching was used in pre-job training. They were investigated by the clinical decision-making ability measuring tool and critical thinking disposition inventory-Chinese version before and after the training. Results Before the high-fidelity simulation teaching, the scores of the new nurses′ clinical decision-making ability and critical thinking ability were (81. 50 ± 6. 87) and (309. 90 ± 28. 15). After the high-fidelity simulation teaching, the scores increased to (92. 91 ± 6. 35) and (318. 13 ± 26. 24). The differences before and after the training were statistically significant (t=10. 19, 2. 83;P<0. 01). Conclusions The high-fidelity simulation teaching in pre-job training can improve the clinical decision-making ability and critical thinking ability of new nurses.

This study examined the construction of eukaryotic expression plasmid of human transforming growth factor-β3 (hTGF-β3) and its inducing effect on the differentiation of precartilaginous stem cells (PSCs) into chondroblasts. hTGF-β3 gene was amplified by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then inserted into the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1 to construct the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-hTGF-β3. Rat PSCs were isolated and purified by employing an immunomagnetic cell sorting system. pcDNA3.1(+)-hTGF-β3 was transfected into purified PSCs with the use of linear polyamines. The expression of TGF-β3 and cartilage-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) components was detected after transfection by real-time quantitative PCR, ELISA, immunochemistry and Western blotting, respectively. The results showed that the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-hTGF-β3 was successfully established as identified by enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. Real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA revealed that hTGF-β3 was strongly expressed in pcDNA3.1(+)-hTGF-β3-transfected PSCs. Real-time quantitative PCR, immunochemistry and Western blotting showed that the cartilage-specific ECM markers, i.e., cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), Aggrecan, collagen type X and II were intensely expressed in the pcDNA3.1(+)-hTGF-β3-transfected cells. It was concluded that hTGF-β3 could be stably expressed in pcDNA3.1(+)-hTGF-β3-transfected PSCs and induce the differentiation of PSCs into chondroblasts.

Objective To investigate the possibility of transforming growth factor β (TGF-p) inducing chondrogenesis of precartilaginous stem cells (PSCs) and discuss expression mechanism of extracel-luar matrix. Methods PSCs were induced into a chondrogenic pathway in alginate bead culture in the absence of serum and in the presence of TGF-β1, β2, or-β3. The temporal pattern of expression of cartilage-specific extracellular matrix during chondrogenesis were analyzed by immunocytochemistry, immunoflu-orescence, RT-PCR, immunoprecipitation, Western blot and spectrophotometer. Results Type Ⅱ collagen staining was positive at days 7, 14 and 21 in alginate bead culture, showing most intense staining in the TGF-p3-treated culture. Expression of type Ⅱ collagen was increased in TGF-β3 group. Immunocytochemi-cal analysis of a number of other extracellular matrix components showed widespread expressions of aggre-can, fibromodulin and COMP in alginate bead culture that presented TGF-p3 for 21 days. The expressions of Aggrcan, fibromodulin, type Ⅰ and ⅹ collagen, and COMP were detected by RT-PCR in TGF-β3 group within 8 days, while type Ⅱ collagen began expression at days 8-21. COMP or type X collagen was present in TGF-β3 group at days 7, 14 and 21 by immunoprecipitation or Western blot analysis respectively. The extracted glycosaminoglycan content or the glycosaminoglycan/DNA rate in TGF-βl group was significantly lower than those in TGF-β2 group or TGF-β3 group at days 14 and 21 (P <0.01). Conclusions TGF-β can evocate chondrogenesis of PSCs, when rapid deposition of cartilage-specific extracellular matrix is involved. The sequential events in this pathway leading from the undifferentiated stem cells to mature chon-drocytes can be investigated by analysis of key matrix elements.
