Objective To study the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Pro-Pro-Glu-59 (PPE59) protein on the biological function of Mycobacterium smegmatis (Ms) and the regulation of host cell immune response. Methods PPE59 gene fragment was obtained by PCR amplification, cloned into pALACE, constructed into recombinant pALACE-PPE59 vector, and electro-transformed into Ms. Western blot was applied to analyse PPE59 expression and subcellular localization. The survival of Ms_Vec and Ms_PPE59 under low acid (pH=3 and pH=5) conditions and active surface pressure sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) conditions and their intracellular survival in macrophages were analyzed. ELISA was used to detect the cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and IL-10) expression levels of Ms_Vec and Ms_PPE59 infected macrophages. Results PPE59 protein localized to the cell wall of Ms can enhance the acid-resistance and anti-SDS effect of Ms, which is conducive to the survival of Ms in macrophages. PPE59 significantly decreased the secretion levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α), and promoted the secretion levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10). Conclusion PPE59 enhances the survival ability of Ms under low acid and SDS pressure and promotes its intracellular survival by regulating the cytokine secretion levels.

Objective To analyze the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital in the past 7 years,and to provide reference for clinical treatment and prevention and control strategies of fun-gal infection.Methods The fungal data and clinical data of related patients isolated from clinical samples in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from early January 2018 to the end of May 2024 were selected,and the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital were identified and described through multi-angle statistical analysis.Results A total of 4 479 patients with filamentous fungal infection were en-rolled.The proportion of male patients[57.5％(2 576/4 479)]was higher than that of female patients[42.5％(1 903/4 143)],mainly distributed in internal medicine,Intensive Care Unit(ICU)and emergency de-partment,among which internal medicine accounted for the highest proportion[50.0％(2 241/4 479)].About 90.0％of the specimens were from the lower respiratory tract,in addition to specimens from skin and soft tis-sue,tissue,ear and blood culture.In terms of seasonal distribution,there are more patients in winter.The fun-gi were mainly composed of Aspergillus,Mucor,Cerdosporium,Fusarium and Penicillium,among which As-pergillus was the most abundant,accounting for 74.6％of the total.Aspergillus fumigatus was the most a-bundant Aspergillus,accounting for 42.5％of the total Aspergillus(1 418/3 340).Among the related infec-tions caused by mold,Aspergillus was the most common in the lower respiratory tract,accounting for 76.8％.Among them,Aspergillus fumigatus accounted for the highest proportion(33.6％).98.6％of the molds infected the ear were Aspergillus,of which Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus were the most common.Skin infections are mainly caused by Sporothrix schenckii,Trichophyton rubrum,Microsporum ca-nis.The results of in vitro drug sensitivity test showed that the four common Aspergillus isolated in this hos-pital were sensitive to voriconazole,and amphotericin B had better antifungal activity against Mucorales in vitro.Conclusion Based on the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infections in this hospital,it is recommended that special attention be paid to the admission of patients in the respiratory department during the peak infection period in autumn and winter.In the treatment of fungal infections in different regions and on different body parts,attention should be paid to the differences in the distribution of bacterial species.

BACKGROUND:At present,there are few reports on the postoperative efficacy of arthroscopic coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation and coracoid single tunnel fixation in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation at home and abroad.The specific clinical efficacy of the two procedures and whether there are other risks need to be explored. OBJECTIVE:To compare the short-term postoperative clinical efficacy of arthroscopic TightRope band plate fixation with single tunnel fixation of the coracoid process and tunnel-free suspension fixation of the coracoid process in the treatment of acute type Ⅲ-Ⅴ acromioclavicular joint dislocation. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed in 45 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation who met the inclusion criteria admitted to the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2019 to September 2022,and were divided into coracoid single tunnel fixation group(20 cases)and coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group(25 cases)according to the surgical treatment plan.Operation time,incision length,blood loss,Constant-Murley score,visual analogue scale score,the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons(ASES)score and intraoperative and postoperative complications of the shoulder joint before operation,3 months after surgery and the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All patients successfully completed the operation,and there was no important nerve or blood vessel damage during the operation.The operation time of the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group was significantly shorter than that of the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and incision length between the two groups(P>0.05).All patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months,with an average of(15.29±2.73)months.In the coracoid single tunnel fixation group,at 3 months after operation and the final follow-up,the visual analogue scale score was significantly lower than the preoperative score(P<0.05);Constant-Murley score and ASES score were significantly increased compared with the preoperative values(P<0.05).In the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group,at 3 months after operation and the final follow-up,the visual analogue scale score was significantly lower than the preoperative score(P<0.05);the Constant-Murley score and the ASES score were both significantly higher than the preoperative scores(P<0.05).At 3 months after operation,the Constant-Murley score of the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group was higher than that of the coracoid single tunnel fixation group(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in visual analogue scale and ASES scores between the two groups(P>0.05).There was also no significant difference in the visual analogue scale,Constant-Murley,and ASES scores between the two groups at the corresponding time points before surgery and at the final follow-up(P>0.05).Intraoperative and postoperative complications:In the coracoid single tunnel fixation group,there was one case of coracoid cortical rupture and fracture during the tunnel drilling during the operation,and one case of a loss of reduction at 3 months after operation,which was repositioned and fixed with hook plate transposition of the coracoacromial ligament.All patients had good acromioclavicular joint function recovery and no re-dislocation at the final follow-up.All patients in the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation group did not suffer from coracoid fractures,loss of reduction and other complications during surgery,postoperatively and at the last follow-up.To conclude,these two arthroscopic treatments for acute type Ⅲ-Ⅴ acromioclavicular joint dislocation have the advantages of less trauma,reliable reduction and fixation,and good recovery of shoulder joint function after operation.However,compared with the coracoid single tunnel technique,the coracoid tunnel-free suspension fixation requires shorter time,faster recovery of shoulder joint function in the short term,and avoids the establishment of bone tunnels on the coracoid process,which reduces the probability of iatrogenic fracture of the coracoid process during operation and provides a higher degree of safety.

Objective:To investigate the effect of phosphorus-containing replacement solution for the prevention and treatment of hypophosphatemia during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L, and to provide clinical reference.Methods:It was a historical prospective cohort study. The critically ill patients receiving CRRT with blood phosphorus ≤ 1.45 mmol/L in the intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2021 to January 2023 and from April 2023 to January 2024 was selected as the study subjects. The patients were divided into test group (from April 2023 to January 2024) and control group (from October 2021 to January 2023) according to whether phosphate (1.0 mmol/L) was added to the replacement solution during CRRT, and the differences of clinical data before and after CRRT between the two groups were compared. The patients were divided into hypophosphatemia group and non-hypophosphatemia group according to whether blood phosphorus < 0.81 mmol/L within 24 h after the end of CRRT, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of hypophosphatemia.Results:A total of 149 critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT were enrolled in the study, with age of 64(47, 75) years and 87 males (58.4%). Among 149 patients, 84(56.4%) had hypophosphatemia after CRRT, and no hyperphosphatemia occurred. The incidence of hypophosphatemia in test group and control group was 40.0% (30/75) and 73.0% (54/74), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in baseline clinical data before CRRT between test group and control group (all P>0.05). C-reactive protein ( Z=-3.356, P=0.001), blood calcium ( Z=-3.835, P<0.001) and proportion of hypophosphatemia ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the test group were lower than those in the control group, and blood phosphorus ( Z=3.886, P<0.001) in the test group was higher than that in the control group within 24 h after CRRT. Compared with non-hypophosphatemia group, the proportion of parenteral nutrition ( χ2=6.802, P=0.009) and blood calcium within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-2.515, P=0.012) in the hypophosphatemia group were higher, and blood phosphorus within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-10.451, P<0.001), blood phosphorus after 24 h after CRRT treatment ( Z=-5.331, P<0.001) and the proportion of applied replacement solution containing phosphorus ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the hypophosphatemia group were lower. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that parenteral nutrition ( OR=2.521, 95% CI 1.228-5.175, P=0.012) and application of phosphorus- containing replacement solution ( OR=0.241, 95% CI 0.119-0.491, P<0.001) were independent relevant factors of hypophosphatemia after CRRT in the whole cohort of patients. Conclusions:The application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT is safe and effective, and the incidence of hypophosphatemia is low. Application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT can reduce the incidence risk of hypophosphatemia after CRRT.

Objective To explore the influence of nicorandil and tirofiban on coronary microcircula-tion and myocardial remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percuta-neous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 118 AMI patients undergoing PCI in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were enrolled,and divided into nicorandil group(n=39,nicorandil on the basis of routine treatment),tirofiban group(n=37,tirofiban on the basis of routine treatment)and combined group(n=42,nicorandil and tirofiban on the basis of routine treatment)according to their treatment regimens.The levels of the coagulation-related factors,coronary microcirculation indicators,microvascular function,myocardial remodeling indicators,oxidative stress indicators and major adverse cardiovascular events were compared among the three groups.Results In 7 d after PCI,prothrombin time(PT)value,activated partial prothrom-bin time(APTT),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)value and serum levels of von Wille-brand factor(vWF),tissue factor(TF)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were increased,while in-dex of microcirculatory resistance(IMR),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV)value,left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV)value and serum endothelin(ET)level were de-creased in the three groups when compared with the corresponding levels before surgery(P＜0.05).At the time point,the combined group had higher LVEF value and serum levels of vWF,TF and SOD,while lower IMR,LVESV and LVEDV values and serum ET level when compared to the nicorandil group and tirofiban group(P＜0.05).The incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia(2.38％vs 16.22％and 15.38％,P＜0.05),incidence of angina pectoris within 6 months after surger-y(2.38％vs 18.92％and 15.38％,P＜0.05),and readmission rate of heart failure(2.38％vs 16.22％and 17.95％,P＜0.05)were notably lower in the combined group than the other two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion For AMI patients after PCI,combination of nicorandil and tirofi-ban can effectively improve the postoperative coronary microcirculation,promote myocardial re-modeling,improve body's oxidative stress status and vascular endothelial function,and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Dysphagia is a common complication of stroke. Combining the principles of traditional Chinese medicine with modern research findings， it is proposed that "latent pathogen in the cerebral collaterals" constitutes the core pathogenesis of post-stroke dysphagia （PSD）. In clinical practice， treatment is tailored according to the location of PSD. During the oral stage， when the pathogen invades the face and mouth， resulting in excessive salivation， acupoints are primarily selected from the foot shaoyin （少阴） kidney channel， in combination with ren mai （任脉） ， du mai （督脉）， chong mai （冲脉） and the spleen channel， to replenish essence and fill the marrow， dispel dampness and unblock the channels. In the pharyngeal stage， as the pathogen obstructs the throat， disrupting normal swallowing， the therapy emphasizes dredging the shaoyang （少阳） channel and warming and tonifying the jueyin （厥阴） channel， by taking acupoints mainly from the hand and foot shaoyang channels， along with the jueyin channels， so as to soothe the liver and promote bile secretion， regulate and harmonize qi and blood. During the esophageal stage， where the pathogen damages the esophagus， impeding food passage， the treatment emphasizes activating the yangming （阳明） channels and regulating taiyin （太阴） channels； acupoints are mainly selected from the foot yangming stomach channel， along with the taiyin channels， aiming to warm yang， unblock the channels and dispel stasis.

Based on his extensive clinical experience and the team's mechanistic research, Professor XU Nenggui has proposed the academic concept that "the governor vessel governs the brain and treats cerebral viscus diseases", and established a novel acupuncture approach for encephalopathy treatment centered on the integrated theory of "governor vessel-brain-mind", and developed a staged acupuncture protocol of "governor vessel regulating spirit" for ischemic stroke. This article introduces the academic features of this method in treating post-stroke dysphagia from four aspects: theoretical framework, treatment principles and point selection, mechanistic research, and clinical case studies. In clinical application, the method emphasizes syndrome differentiation based on meridians, harmonization between the conception and governor vessels; precise acupoint selection to treat both form and spirit; stage-specific differentiation with targeted needling. Furthermore, Professor XU integrates basic research with clinical practice, focusing on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the efficacy of acupuncture in treating post-stroke dysphagia.
