This paper interprets the disease name related to bi （痹） disease in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） from the perspective of micropathological phenotypes in knee osteoarthritis （KOA）. By systematically reviewing classical TCM literature on the pathogenesis and clinical features of different subtypes such as damp-retention bi， bone bi， and tendon bi， and integrating these with current research on pathological subtypes of KOA including the synovitis type， cartilage-meniscus type， and subchondral bone type， the study explores the correlation between traditional disease terms and modern micropathological phenotypes. The author proposes subtype classifications of damp-retention bi corresponding to synovial inflammation， bone bi related to abnormal subchondral bone remodeling， and tendon bi representing cartilage and meniscus degeneration. This approach provides a microscopic biological explanation for TCM syndrome differentiation and offers new perspectives for advancing integrative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in both Chinese and western medicine.

To explore the interaction between ASFV capsid protein M1249L and host from the host cellular perspective,M1249L was selected for constructing the bait plasmid(pGBKT7-M1249L)to screen the bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs)cDNA library.After again co-transform and sequence alignment,20 candidate interacting host proteins were screened,such as IL-1β,CTSB and DNAJA3.And then,co-immunoprecipitation assay was performed to verify the interaction be-tween M1249L and host proteins.GO ontology(GO)and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses re-vealed that biological regulation,cellular communication and response to stimulus and others were enriched in biological processes.And these host proteins could share some pathways,including toll-like receptor signaling pathway and Nod-like receptor signaling pathway.Therefore,the results provides the theoretical basis for further research on the mechanism of ASFV M1249L in viral in-fection and immune regulation.

Osteoporosis and knee osteoarthritis often co-occur and are closely related in terms of epidemiology， clinical symptoms， pathogenesis and other aspects. Therefore， it is necessary to manage the co-morbidity and treat the two as a whole. Based on the overall relationship between wei （痿） and bi （痹） in TCM， it is believed that osteoporosis and knee osteoarthritis have marrow loss and bone atrophy as the core pathogenesis of co-morbidity， and microfractures as the central pathological link. The overall treatment is rooted in boosting kidney， supplementing marrow and strengthening the bones. According to the pathological manifestations of microfractures in the process of co-morbidity， and the different deficiency and excess characteristics of wei and bi， it can be divided into three types， "wei emerging with mild bi"， "wei and bi progressing simultaneously"， and "emphasis on both wei and bi"， for treatment. In terms of "wei emerging with mild bi"， that is the early stage of osteoporosis， the traditional Daoyin （导引） is the main therapy. For "wei and bi progressing simultaneously"， it can be divided into three stages further， including the onset stage， remission stage， and recovery stage of knee pain， treated with Taohong Siwu Decoction （桃红四物汤）， Bushen Huoxue Formula （补肾活血方） and self-made Bushen Qianggu Formula （补肾强骨方） as the main formula respectively. For "emphasis on both wei and bi"， the proven formula， Qianggu Zhitong Formula （强骨止痛方）， is taken as the main prescription.

Objective To summarize the effect of the timing of lung transplantation and related treatment measures on clinical prognosis of patients with paraquat poisoning. Methods Clinical data of a patient with paraquat poisoning undergoing bilateral lung transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination, diagnosis and treatment of this patient were summarized and analyzed. Results A 17-year-old adolescent was admitted to hospital due to nausea, vomiting, cough and systemic fatigue after oral intake of 20-30 mL of 25% paraquat. After symptomatic support treatment, the oxygen saturation was not improved, and pulmonary fibrosis continued to progress. Therefore, sequential bilateral lung transplantation was performed under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). After postoperative rehabilitation and active prevention and treatment for postoperative complications, the patient was discharged at postoperative 50 d. Conclusions The timing of lung transplantation after paraquat poisoning may be selected when the liver and kidney function start to recover. Active and targeted prevention of potential pathogen infection in perioperative period and early rehabilitation training contribute to improving clinical prognosis of lung transplant recipients.

Objective:To evaluate the bone hook pulling technique in reduction of valgus-impacted femoral neck fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 12 patients who had been treated from September 2021 to September 2022 for valgus-impacted femoral neck fractures at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Honghui Hospital. There were 6 males and 6 females with an age of (43.8±10.1) years. By the Garden classification, the 12 cases were all type Ⅰ; by the Pauwels classification, 10 cases were type Ⅰ and 2 cases type Ⅱ. All patients were definitively diagnosed preoperatively by radiographs and CT images. The bone hook pulling technique was used to extend the bone hook from the lateral side to the medial side of the lesser trochanter, pull the bone hook to the lateral side, and reset the fracture with the help of pulling force and the action of the surrounding soft tissue hinge. The fractures were then fixed with the Femoral Neck System (FNS). Length of surgical incision, number of fluoroscopy for bone hook-related operations, operation time, quality of fracture reduction, fracture healing time, functional recovery of the hip and shortening of the femoral neck at the last follow-up were recorded.Results:The 12 valgus-impacted femoral neck fractures were successfully reset by the hook pulling technique. In this cohort, the length of surgical incision was (4.6±0.7) cm, the number of fluoroscopy for bone hook-related operations (4.3±0.7) times, and the operation time (54.3±4.2) min. The 12 patients were followed up for (11.5±4.2) months postoperatively and the fracture healing time (4.2±0.7) months. According to the Garden score, the quality of postoperative fracture reduction was assessed as grade Ⅰ in 10 cases and as grade Ⅱ in 2 cases. According to the Harris hip score, the hip function was assessed as excellent in 10 cases and as good in 2 cases at the last follow-up. The length of femoral neck shortening was (1.17±0.68) mm at the last follow-up in the 12 patients; no complications related to fracture reduction were observed.Conclusion:In the reduction of valgus-impacted femoral neck fractures, bone hook pulling technique shows advantages of operational simplicity, a high rate of successful reduction, and satisfactory clinical effects.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of acute shortening-lengthening technique with antibiotic calcium sulfate-loaded bone transport technique for the treatment of segmental tibial defects after trauma.Methods:The clinical data of 58 patients with large tibial defects treated by Ilizarov technique in Xi′an Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi′an Jiaotong University from May 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty patients were treated by acute shortening-lengthening (group A), and they were divided into those who were successful in one-time shortening during operation (group A1) and those who needed gradual shortening after operation (group A2) according to different shortening conditions. And 28 patients by antibiotic calcium sulfate-loaded bone transport (group B). The external fixation time (EFT) and external fixation index (EFI) of the two groups were compared. Bone defect healing and limb functions were evaluated according to the Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov (ASAMI) criteria. Complications were compared by Paley classification. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as ± s, and t-test was used for comparison between groups; the count data were expressed as n(%), and the chi-square test, Fisher exact probability method or Mann-Whitney U test were used for comparison between groups. Results:Patients were followed for(27.5±5.1)months. There was no significant difference in EFT, EFI, bone defect healing and limb functions between the two groups( P>0.05). The incidence of Grade-Ⅱ[41.2% (7/17)], Grade-Ⅲ [47.1% (8/17)] pin-tract infection in group A1 and Grade-Ⅱ[46.2% (6/13)], Grade-Ⅲ pin-tract [53.8% (7/13)] in group A2 was significantly higher than those in group B[14.3% (4/28)], [17.9% (5/28)] ( P<0.05). The number of complications per capita in group A1 [(1.4±0.3) times/case] and in group A2 [(1.5±0.3) times/case]was significantly higher than that in group B [(1.1±0.5) times/case]. Conclusions:Patients can be cured successfully by both acute shortening-lengthening and bone transport techniques. Compared with acute shortening-lengthening group, the complication incidence in antibiotic calcium sulfate-loaded bone transport group was lower, especially, the infection-related complications. Therefore, antibiotic calcium sulfate-loaded bone transport technique has a greater application prospect in patients with large segmental bone defects caused by infection or osteomyelitis.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy between bone transport technique combined with bone grafting plus internal fixation and simple bone transport technique in the treatment of large segmental bone defects at lower limbs after trauma.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 42 patients with large segmental bone defects at lower limbs after trauma who had been treated at Department of Trauma Orthopaedics, Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Medicine College, Xi'an Jiaotong University from September 2015 to September 2019. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the different methods of repairing bone defects. In group A of 18 patients subjected to bone transport combined with bone grafting plus internal fixation, there were 11 males and 7 females with an age of (35.2±10.3) years, and 12 tibial defects and 6 femoral defects; in group B of 24 patients subjected to simple bone transport, there were 15 males and 9 females with an age of (37.3±9.4) years, and 17 tibial defects and 7 femoral defects. The external fixation time (EFT), external fixation index (EFI), total cure time and complications were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. At the last follow-up, the Ennecking score for limb functional recovery (score/total score 30) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were used to evaluate respectively the functional recovery of the limbs and postoperative anxiety.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in preoperative general data or follow-up time ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of surgeries between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The EFT [(5.9±1.5) months], EFI [(0.45±0.09) months/cm], total treatment time [(16.2±2.4) months], Ennecking score for limb functional recovery (87.0%±8.6%), SAS score [(43.2±9.0) points], and complications per capita [(0.4±0.2) times/case] in group A were significantly better than those in group B [(15.3±4.2) months, (1.19±0.28) months/cm, (19.7±3.5) months, (77.3%±9.2%), (58.2±9.3) points, and (1.2±0.5) times/case] (all P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of large segmental bone defects at lower limbs, compared with simple bone transport technique, bone transport technique combined with bone grafting plus internal fixation has advantages of shorter external fixation time and overall cure time, a lower rate of complications, and better functional recovery of the limbs.
