This study investigated the mechanism of autophagy in the differentiation processes of MC3T3-E1 cells under osteogenic induction(physiological) and alcohol(AL) intervention(pathological), as well as the mechanism by which icariin(ICA) affected osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells under the pathological condition of AL intervention. Osteogenic mineralized nodule staining confirmed that the cells could differentiate into osteoblasts. After determining the appropriate concentrations of AL and ICA using the CCK-8 assay, seven groups were set up in this study: complete medium(CM) group, osteogenic induction medium(OIM) group, OIM+0.25 mol·L~(-1) AL group, OIM+0.25 mol·L~(-1) AL+1×10~(-8) mol·L~(-1) ICA group, OIM+0.25 mol·L~(-1) AL+1×10~(-7) mol·L~(-1) ICA group, OIM+0.25 mol·L~(-1) AL+1×10~(-6) mol·L~(-1) ICA group, and OIM+0.25 mol·L~(-1) AL+1×10~(-5) mol·L~(-1) ICA group, with a culture period of 7 days. Alkaline phosphatase(ALP) staining was used to detect the relative ALP area. Western blot and RT-qPCR were employed to analyze the expression of osteogenesis-and autophagy-related proteins and mRNAs. Reactive oxygen species(ROS) staining was used to detect ROS levels, and apoptosis was assessed through mitochondrial membrane potential assays. The results showed that ICA increased the relative ALP area that had been reduced by AL intervention. AL down-regulated the expression levels of Wnt family member 1(Wnt1), along with the osteogenesis-related mRNAs Wnt1, β-catenin, Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2), osteoprotegerin(OPG), and ALP, thereby inhibiting osteogenic differentiation. ICA up-regulated the expression levels of the osteogenesis-related proteins and mRNAs that had been inhibited by AL, promoting osteogenic differentiation. AL inhibited typical autophagy, while ICA regulated Rubicon to suppress LC3-associated phagocytosis(LAP) and promote typical autophagy. ICA also reduced the ROS levels that were elevated by AL and decreased the apoptosis of osteoblasts induced by AL intervention. In conclusion, ICA can regulate Rubicon to inhibit LAP, promote typical autophagy, eliminate ROS, reduce apoptosis, and ultimately enhance the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells under the pathological condition of AL intervention by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by high morbidity, disability, and mortality, posing a significant threat to human health. Endovascular treatment has now been established as a key method for AIS management, in which stent retrievers that can mechanically remove blood clots play a key role in this technique. In recent years, stent retrievers have evolved in complexity and functionality to improve the ability of clot removing and surgical safety. However, the present instruments still have limitations on treatment efficiency, vascular adaptability, and operational precision, posing an urgent need for innovation in the design of stent retrievers. This paper systematically reviewed the structural features and working principles of AIS stent retrievers from the perspective of efficacy evaluation metrics, historical development, recent advancements in stent retrieval technology, and future prospects.

Over 40%of critically ill patients will develop coagulopathy.Once critically ill patients are complicated with coagulopathy,the incidence of bleeding and mortality can increase by more than 4 times.Early identification of coagulopathy and accurate evaluation of coagulation function are essential for correcting coagulopathy as soon as possible.Therefore,Chinese Society of Thrombosis,Hemostasis and Critical Care,Chinese Medicine Education Association,together with Chinese People's Liberation Army Professional Committee of Critical Care Medicine updated the"Chinese expert consensus on standardized assessment of severe coagulopathy(2025 Edition)"on the basis of the"Consensus of Chinese experts on standardized evaluation of coagulation dysfunction in severe patients"formulated in 2022.This consensus includes four parts:classification and typing,etiology and mechanism,assessment methods,and diagnostic criteria of severe coagulopathy,with a total of 14 recommendations,aiming to provide corresponding guidance for clinical practice.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Aim To observe the mechanism of salvian-olic acid B(SalB)against oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation(OGD/R)injury in H9c2 cardiomyo-cytes.Methods The protective concentration of SalB against OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was screened by CCK-8 assay.The levels of lactate dehy-drogenase(LDH),aspartate transaminase(AST)and creatine kinase(CK)were detected by ELISA kit.The mechanism of action of SalB on OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was explored using high-through-put sequencing of the transcriptome.The binding of SalB to differential proteins was assessed using molecu-lar docking assays.Fatty acid content was determined using free fatty acid kits.The relative expressions of mRNA and protein of differential genes were verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The causal relationship between the target of action of SalB and heart failure was examined by Mendelian randomization experiment.Results SalB protected OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardio-myocytes and significantly reduced the levels of CK,LDH and AST compared with the blank control group.One hundred differential genes were screened by tran-scriptome sequencing,which were mainly involved in fatty acid elongation,central carbon metabolism of cancer,tryptophan metabolism pathways.Molecular docking showed that SalB had good binding energy to differential proteins.The mRNA and protein expression of core differential genes Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results.SalB reduced fatty acidsafter OGD/R injury.Mende-lian randomization experiments suggested that SalB might reduce the risk of heart failure through fatty acid metabolism,thereby reducing the risk of heart failure.Conclusion SalB can protect H9c2 cardiomyocytes after OGD/R injury by down-regulating Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 expression through the fatty acid metabolism pathway.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and major complications (postoperative hemorrhage and cerebral edema) of 3 surgical methods in spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (SSICH).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 294 patients with SSICH admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2018 to October 2021 were selected. According to different surgical methods, these patients were divided into neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group ( n=126), stereotactic drilling and drainage group ( n=98), and craniotomy hematoma removal group ( n=70). The surgical efficacy and complications in the 3 groups were analyzed, and the postoperative residual hematoma and edema volumes were quantitatively calculated based on 3D Slicer software. Results:The hematoma evacuation rate in the neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group, stereotactic drilling and drainage group, and craniotomy hematoma removal group was 86.25%±2.27%, 44.45%±3.61%, and 75.45%±2.89%, respectively; Glasgow coma Scale scores at discharge were 13.51±1.28, 11.24±2.17 and 10.25±2.56, respectively; postoperative hemorrhage incidence was 16.1%, 26.0% and 22.9%, respectively; postoperative residual hematoma volume was (18.90±12.33) mL, (25.75±11.43) mL and (22.91±7.93) mL, and postoperative peak edema volume was (37.43±11.07) mL, (39.54±9.43) mL, and (42.26±10.94) mL, respectively; percentage of patients with peak edema on 3-5 days after surgery was 31.0%, 65.3% and 68.6%; the diameter of edema zone was (20.04±2.98) mm, (24.12±5.85) mm and (23.59±3.81) mm, respectively, on 7 days after surgery; percentage of patients with edema resolution was 45.2%, 24.5%, 42.9% and 76.2%, 57.1%, 62.9%, respectively, on 9-11 days and 12-14 days after surgery; these indexes in the neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group were significantly different compared with those in the other two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with stereotactic drilling and drainage or craniotomy hematoma removal, neuroendoscopic surgery can effectively remove the hematoma and reduce the occurrences of postoperative hemorrhage and brain edema.
