Objective:To investigate the accuracy and clinical utility of a newly designed acetabular bone defect classification system based on the ischial-gluteal pillar in assessing the severity of acetabular bone defects and guiding hip revision surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 474 patients who underwent hip revision surgery for prosthetic loosening after total hip arthroplasty at our institution from January 2010 to December 2020, including 296 males and 178 females with a mean age of 70.4±8.9 years (range: 52-86 years). The accuracy of our classification system in guiding surgical procedures was evaluated by comparing preoperative defect classifications with intraoperative findings. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using preoperative and final follow-up Harris hip scores (HHS) and Oxford hip scores (OHS), as well as the incidence of complications.Results:Preoperative classifications included 143 Type I, 192 Type II (Type IIa: 86 cases, Type IIb: 59 cases, Type IIc: 47 cases), 93 Type III (Type IIIa: 54 cases, Type IIIb: 27 cases, Type IIIc: 12 cases), and 46 Type IV cases (Type IVa: 32 cases, Type IVb: 9 cases, Type IVc: 5 cases). Compared with intraoperative findings, classification accuracy was 99.3% for Type I (1 errors), 98.4% for Type II (3 errors), 97.8% for Type III (2 errors), and 97.8% for Type IV (1 misclassified as Type III). The mean follow-up was 5.8±4.4 years (range: 2-12 years). At final follow-up, mean HHS improved from 36.65±10.27 to 91.36±7.53, and mean OHS increased from 11.35±4.36 to 44.6±5.27 with significant difference ( P<0.001). Complications included one Type IV periprosthetic infection, one Type II hip dislocation, one Type I and two Type IV re-revisions (due to femoral loosening or graft resorption), one Type II and one Type III death unrelated to surgery, and one Type I postoperative thigh hematoma. No neurovascular injuries occurred. Conclusions:This novel 3D acetabular bone defect classification system, based on ischial-gluteal pillar integrity, provides accurate preoperative assessment and effectively guides surgical planning. Its application demonstrates favorable mid-term outcomes in hip revision surgery.

Objective:To investigate the effects of ascites grading and the application of non-selective beta-blockers (NSBBs) on the 1-year prognosis of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).Methods:1 386 ascitic cases with ACLF were graded and followed up for one year. The 1-year prognostic effect of ascites grade and NSBBs was analyzed on ACLF by the Kaplan Meier Log-rank test, Cox stepwise regression, and multivariate regression.The t-test, Mann-Whitney U, or Kruskal-Wallis test were used for intergroup comparison of measurement data. The χ2 test was used for intergroup comparison of numerical data. Results:The incidence rate of ascites at admission was 77.56% in 1 386 ACLF cases. The Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) of the 1-year survival curve test for 1 386 ACLF patients with ascites grade was 21.384, P<0.01. Multivariate regression and Cox stepwise regression analysis showed that ascites grade, age, gastrointestinal bleeding, pulmonary infection, acute kidney injury, prothrombin activity (PTA), urea, MELD-Na score, and the use of NSBBs were closely related to the 1-year prognosis of ACLF. The log rank (Mantel-Cox) of NSBBs treatment in the grade 2/3 ascites group was 6.113, P=0.013, and the difference was statistically significant, suggesting that NSBBs treatment can help improve the 1-year survival rate in ACLF patients with grade 2 and 3 ascites. Conclusions:Ascites grading and the use of NSBBs affect the prognostic factor of ACLF at one year. NSBBs may be beneficial for the long-term prognosis of ACLF, and treatment can be continued in patients who have already received NSBBs prior to the onset of ACLF.

OBJECTIVES:
This study aims to analyze the clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations in patients with temporomandibular disorder syndrome (TMD), who are sensitive to sudden temperature drop.
METHODS:
One hundred and nineteen patients with TMD who attended the Department of Stomatology of the First Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were included, including 44 males and 75 females, with a mean age of 32.4±13.7 years.The questionnaire was used to determine whether they were sensitive to temperature drop, and the TMD patients were divided into a temperature plunge-sensitive group and a temperature drop insensitive group. The clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations of patients in the two groups were observed. SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS:
There was no statistically significant difference between the gender and age of patients in the temperature plunge-sensitive group (50 patients) and the insensitivity group (69 patients) (P>0.05). The percentage of patients with pain was slightly higher in the temperature plunge-sensitive group [86.0% (43/50)] than in the insensitive group [68.1% (47/69)], and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.031, P=0.025), while the differences in joint murmur and mouth opening limitation between the two groups were not statistically significant. A total of 238 lateral joints were detected in both groups, the percentage of osteoarthropathic imaging changes was significantly higher in the temperature plunge-sensitive group [82.0% (82/100)] than in the insensitive group [53.6% (74/138)] (χ2=20.675, P<0.001). Magnetic imaging showed that the percentage of joint effusion was higher in patients in the temperature plunge-sensitive group [66.0% (33/50)] than in the insensitive group [42.0% (29/69)], and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.602, P=0.018).
CONCLUSIONS
TMD patients with maxillofacial pain symptoms, joint effusions, and abnormal imaging of osteoarticular structures are more likely to be sensitive to sudden temperature drops.

One of the most common adverse reactions associated with cancer and its treatment is sarcopenia,a syndrome primarily caused by the disruption of muscle homeostasis,leading to excessive muscle atrophy and decreased muscle strength.For cancer patients,sarcopenia reflects not only a state of muscle mass loss but also serves as an important factor affecting treatment efficacy and survival rates.However,cancer-related sarcopenia often has a more insidious onset,is not visible to the naked eye,and is easily overlooked.Therefore,it is necessary to recognize the dangers of sarcopenia throughout the cancer treatment process and to identify low muscle mass early.In recent years,as healthcare professionals have increasingly focused on sarcopenia,research on cancer-related sarcopenia has gradually deepened,with new advancements in its assessment,diagnosis,intervention,and impact on anti-cancer treatment.This article provides a review of these key areas to offer a theoretical basis for the clinical practice of cancer-related sarcopenia.

Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1(APE 1)is a multifunctional protein that plays important roles in DNA repair and regulation of gene expression.Because APE 1 is overexpressed in various cancers,it can serve as a cancer biomarker for aiding clinical diagnosis,guiding therapy,and monitoring prognosis.On this basis,a label-free fluorescent probe was designed based on the primer exchange reaction(PER)strategy for highly sensitive detection of APE 1 activity.In the absence of APE 1,the structure of catalytic hairpin(HP)was stable and could not form G-quadruplex.Therefore,the background fluorescence of this sensing system was very low due to the dissociation of thioflavin T(ThT).In the presence of APE 1,the apurinic/apyrimidinic(AP)site of HP was cleaved by APE 1 and a short nucleic acid fragment that acted as a primer to initiate PER was generated.After PER reaction,a large number of G-quadruplex were produced,which could specifically bind with ThT and resulted in significant increase of fluorescence signal.The combination of low background design of HP and PER amplification made this biosensor had high sensitivity with a detection limit(3σ)of 0.0008 U/mL.Furthermore,the primer sequence was directly generated by the cleavage of APE 1 without additional addition,which not only increased the specificity of the reaction,but also simplified the experiment procedure.Moreover,the use of label-free fluorescence signal reduced the cost of the experiment,and realized rapid detection of APE 1.Finally,this sensor was used to detect APE 1 in human serum samples with spiked recoveries of 91%-104%,proving great potential in study of biological enzyme.

Tumor immune homeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium state in which the body removes abnormal mutated cells in time to prevent tumor development without damaging other normal cells under the surveillance of the immune system. It is an important concept to understand the process of tumor development. Programmed cell death (PCD) is a kind of regulable cell death including various forms such as apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, necrosis, and ferroptosis. It is regarded as an important way for the body to remove abnormal or mutated cells. In recent years, modern research has found that PCD has a bi-directional regulatory effect on carcinogenesis and tumor development. In the early stage of tumor formation, PCD can control tumor development in time by playing a specific immune clearance role, while in the later tumorigenic stage, PCD can promote the growth and development of tumor cells by forming a tumor-specific microenvironment, resulting in carcinogenic effects. Therefore, PCD is regarded as an important way to maintain tumor immune homeostasis. Based on the idea of ''supporting the vital Qi and cultivating the root'' by professors Yu Guiqing and Piao Bingkui, the team proposed the theory of ''regulating Qi and resolving toxins'' and applied it to clinical tumor prevention and treatment. Based on the theory of ''regulating Qi and resolving toxins'', the research summarized the current progress of modern medical research on mechanisms related to PCD to explore the role of PCD in the regulation of tumor immune homeostasis. The article believed that the harmonious state of Qi movement was the basic condition for normal PCD to maintain tumor immune homeostasis, while the disorder of Qi movement and the evolution of tumor toxicity were the core processes of abnormal PCD and disorder of tumor immunity homeostasis, which led to the escape and development of tumor cells. Therefore, under the guidance of ''regulating Qi and removing toxins'', the idea of full-cycle prevention and treatment of tumors was proposed summarily. In the early stage of tumor formation, the method of ''regulating Qi movement and strengthening vital Qi'' was applied to reestablish tumor immune homeostasis and to promote the elimination of abnormal cells. In the late tumorigenic stage, the method of ''resolving toxins and dispelling evils'' was applied to reverse the specific microenvironment of tumors and inhibit the development of tumor cells, with a view to providing new theoretical support for the prevention and treatment of tumors through traditional Chinese medicine.

To explore the in vitro and in vivo synergistic effect of paclitaxel in combination with co-listin against MDREscherichia coli(E.coli)and the corresponding mechanism of synergism,we measured the MICs of PTX alone and combination of PTX+antimicrobial drugs on E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)by broth microdilution method.Then,checkerboard method was used to determine the FICI of PTX+COL combination,and the antibacterial synergies of PTX and COL was further explored through analyzing the membrane permeability and efflux pump ac-tivity.The MICs results showed that the MIC values of PTX alone against E.coli(G5,E25)and S.aureus S238 were>1 024 mg/L and 512 mg/L,respectively.Meanwhile,we found that the anti-bacterial activity of COL against E.coli could be significantly enhanced(MIC decreased by 4 to 8 times)when used in combination with PTX.The checkerboard test showed that the FICI values of PTX combined with COL for E.coli(G5,E25)were 0.31 and 0.29,respectively,indicating a synergistic antibacterial effect on these strains.The FICI values of PTX combined with COL for E.coli G21,S.aureus(S237 and S238)were 0.51,0.75 and 0.53,respectively,indicating additive effects on these strains.In the mouse abdominal infection model,the combination group could ex-tremely significantly reduce the bacterial burden of E.coli in abdominal compared to the COL or PTX alone group(P<0.001).The analysis of membrane permeability and efflux pump activity showed that PTX combined with COL significantly increased the inner and outer membrane per-meability of E.coli(G5 and E25),and markedly inhibited the efflux pumping activity of E.coli,when compared that of PTX and COL alone(P<0.01).The above results indicated that the com-bination of PTX and COL could exert a synergistic in vivo and in vitro antibacterial effect on COL-resistant E.coli through increasing bacterial membrane permeability and inhibiting efflux pump activity.This study provides the theoretical foundation for the development of a novel combi-nation regimen for the treatment of MDR E.coli infection.
