Objective To explore clinical effect of closed reduction percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail assisted by arthrography in the treatment of radial neck fracture in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 chil-dren with radial neck fracture treated with arthrography assisted closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation(arthrography with elastic nail group)from January 2019 to December 2022,including 12 males and 11 fe-males,aged from 2 to 12 years old with an average of(7.36±1.89)years old;According to Judet fracture types,14 children were type Ⅲ and 9 children were type Ⅳ.In addition,23 children with radial neck fracture were selected from January 2015 to December 2018 who were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation(elastic nail group),including 11 males and 12 females,aged from 2 to 14 years old with an average of(7.50±1.91)years old;Judet classi-fication included 15 children were type Ⅲ and 8 children were type Ⅳ.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between two groups.Metaizeau evaluation criteria was used to evaluate fracture reduction,and Tibone-Stoltz evaluation criteria was used to evaluate functional recovery of elbow between two groups.Results Both groups were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of(16.56±6.34)months.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of elastic nail group were(56.64±19.27)min and(21.13±7.87)times,while those of joint angiography with elastic nail group were(40.33±1 1.50)min and(12.10±3.52)times;there were difference between two groups(P＜0.05).According to Metaizeau evaluation,11 patients got excellent result,9 good and 3 fair in joint angiography with elastic nail group,while in elastic nail group,5 ex-cellent,13 good,4 acceptable,and 1 poor;the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Tibone-Stoltz criteria,14 patients got excellent result,8 good,and 1 fair in joint arthrography with elastic nail group;while in elastic nail group,12 patients got excellent result,9 good,1 fair and 1 poor;there was no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared to percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation,closed reduction assisted by arthrography has advantages of reduced operation time,decreased intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,and improved fracture reduction.Arthrography enables clear visualization of the anatomical structures of radius,head,neck,bone,and cartilage in children,facilitating comprehensive display of fracture reduction and brachioradial joint alignment.This technique more pre-cisely guides the depth of elastic intramedullary nail implantation in radius neck,thereby enhancing surgical efficiency and success rate.

Calcified lesions increase the difficulty of interventional therapy for coronary heart disease,and increase the risk of perioperative and long-term complications.Pretreatment of calcified lesions is very important.Coronary lithotripsy(IVL)is used more and more in calcified lesions,and many clinical trials have proved its effectiveness and safety.Stent underexpansion is an important risk factor for stent thrombosis and restenosis,which increases the incidence of complications.At present,there is no effective coping strategy or clear consensus or guidelines for the treatment of stent underexpansion caused by calcified lesions.There are few reports about the treatment of stent under expansion by IVL,and most of them are case reports and small sample studies.In this paper,two cases of stent under expansion were reported.After stent implantation,stent under expansion was found,and IVL was used to treat the cases,which achieved good results.This paper reports 2 cases of stent under expansion to explore the efficacy and safety of IVL in the treatment of such lesions.

Clinicians need to focus on various points in the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia.This article prescribed the treatment protocol based on the unique features,such as insomnia in the elderly,women experiencing specific physiologi-cal periods,children insomnia,insomnia in sleep-breathing disorder patients,insomnia in patients with chronic liver and kidney dysfunction.It pro-vides some reference for clinicians while they make decision on diagnosis,differentiation and treat-ment methods.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors affecting the prognosis of penile cancer after surgery.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 112 cases of penile cancer treated in Weifang People's Hospital from January 2013 to De-cember 2023.Using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve,χ2 test,Fisher's exact test,and univariate and multivariate Cox risk regression analyses,we compared the clinical characteristics among different groups,and determined the independent prognostic risk factors for cancer-specific survival(CSS)of the patients.Results:The 1-,3-and 5-year CSS rates of the penile cancer patients were 78.2%,66.1% and 63.7%,respectively.Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated a significant correlation of a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)with a lower CSS rate(P<0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed high NLR(HR=2.6;95% CI:1.031-6.558;P=0.043)to be an independent risk factor for CSS.Conclusion:Preoperative NLR is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of penile cancer.In addition,older age,farmer or worker occupation,lower education,preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR)≤2.81,preoperative fibrinogen(FIB)≥3.41 g/L,advanced tumor stage and tumor differentiation are associated with the poor prognosis the malignancy.

AIM To study the chemical constituents from the methanol fraction of Premna fulva Craib leaves and their anti-inflammatory activities.METHODS The methanol fraction from P.fluva were isolated and purified by TLC,column chromatography,and HSCCC,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data.Their anti-inflammatory activities in vitro were evaluated by RAW264.7 model.RESULTS Twelve compounds were isolated and identified as vitexin(1),balanophonin(2),inotodisaccharide(3),4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenol-β-D-glucopyranoside(4),dehydrovomifoliol(5),loliolide(6),(E)-4-((1S,3R,4R)-1-hydroxy-4,5,5-trimethyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-1-yl)but-1-en-3-o-ne(7),(E)-4-hydroxyphenylprop-7-ene 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(8),4-O-β-D-glucopyranosylbenzoic acid(9),vicenin(10),oleanicacid(11),sesamin(12),respectively.Compounds 1,2,5,7,10,and 12 showed good inhibitory activities against NO,and the IC50 values were(26.42±2.5)、(21.24±2.2)、(25.88±1.9)、(29.72±2.1)、(8.90±1.1)、(9.73±0.7)μmol/L,respectively.CONCLUSION Compounds 2,4-8 are isolated from Premna genus plants for the first time.Compounds 1,2,5,7,10,12 have anti-inflammatory activities.

AIM:To investigate the relationship between the number of dopaminergic neurons and the locomo-tor behavior of animals,and to provide a reference basis for the modeling of mice with different stages of Parkinson disease(PD)and different types of locomotor deficits based on 6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA)injection.METHODS:We in-duced lesions in the substantia nigra pars compacta(SNc)by administering various doses of 6-OHDA(3 g/L,6 g/L,and 12 g/L)to create PD mouse models with differing degrees of injury,thereby mimicking the various stages of PD progression observed in patients(early,moderate and advanced stages).On the 14th day post-surgery,we evaluated the behavioral deficits of the mouse models using the rotarod test,pole test,beam traversal test,open field test,and gait analysis.Fur-thermore,the quantification of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)-positive neurons within the SNc and TH-stained dopaminergic terminals in the corpus striatum caudate-putamen(CPu)was conducted utilizing immunofluorescence staining techniques to assess brain tissue damage.RESULTS:Compared to the control group,the number of dopaminergic neurons in the SNc was significantly reduced in both the high-dose group(P<0.05)and the medium-dose group(P<0.05)following 6-OHDA injection,demonstrating a dose-dependent effect(Spearman correlation,P<0.01).Similarly,the dopaminergic terminals in the CPu were significantly diminished in the high-dose group(P<0.01)and the medium-dose group(P<0.05).Behavioral tests revealed that mice in the high-dose group exhibited severe impairments in motor coordination and hindlimb balance,as evidenced by reduced rotarod test times,gait abnormalities,and asymmetrical forelimb use in the cylinder test.In contrast,mice in the medium-and low-dose groups displayed only mild declines in limb coordination,while their autonomous motor abilities and gait indices remained largely unaffected.CONCLUSION:The results reveal a dose-dependent effect on dopamine neuron damage,with higher doses causing the severest damage.Unexpectedly,signifi-cant locomotion impairments were only manifested in the high-dose group.This suggests that a mouse model induced by higher 6-OHDA dose is effective for studying PD and associated dyskinesia.Conversely,animal models with low to medi-um doses can be useful for exploring the early stages of PD locomotion symptoms.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The occurrence of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH)was related to disrupted sex steroid hormones,and metformin(Met)had a clinical response to sex steroid hormone-related gynaecological disease.How-ever,whether Met exerts an antiproliferative effect on BPH via sex steroid hormones remains unclear.Here,our clinical study showed that along with prostatic epithelial cell(PEC)proliferation,sex steroid hormones were dysregulated in the serum and prostate of BPH patients.As the major contributor to dysregulated sex steroid hormones,elevated dihydrotestosterone(DHT)had a significant positive rela-tionship with the clinical characteristics of BPH patients.Activation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase(AMPK)by Met restored dysregulated sex steroid hormone homeostasis and exerted antiproliferative effects against DHT-induced proliferation by inhibiting the formation of androgen receptor(AR)-mediated Yes-associated protein(YAP1)-TEA domain transcription factor(TEAD4)heterodimers.Met's anti-proliferative effects were blocked by AMPK inhibitor or YAP1 over-expression in DHT-cultured BPH-1 cells.Our findings indicated that Met would be a promising clinical therapeutic approach for BPH by inhibiting dysregulated steroid hormone-induced PEC proliferation.

Objective:To explore the effects and mechanism of Salvianolic acid B(SalB)on Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods:Forty-eight C57BL/6 male mice were randomly separated into control group(control)withoutdrugs,model group(MPTP)with intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrah-ydropyridine(MPTP),SalB control group with intraperitoneal injection of SalB,and SalB treatment group(MPTP+SalB).Construction of PD mouse model by intraperitoneal injection of MPTP,and treatment with intraperitoneal injection of SalB.Pole climbing test was applied to assess behavior differences.The time of first black stool excretion and water content of feces were measured to evaluate intestinal dysfunctions.The number of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)positive cells in substantia nigra and the level of Toll like receptor 4(TLR4)in colon were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.The pathological changes of colonic mucosa were observed by HE staining.The levels of calprotectin(CP)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in colon were determined by ELISA.Western blot was used to determine the level of TH in midbrain,the protein level of TH,tight junction protein(ZO-1),and protein level of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways which express in colon.Results:Com-pared with the Control group,the climbing time,T-turn time and the first black stool excretion time in MPTP group increased while the fecal water content and the number of TH positive cells in substantia nigra were decreased.Accompanied by TLR4 positive cells in colon,pathological injury score of colonic mucosa,levels of CP and TNF-α in colon increased,expression of TH in midbrain and expression of ZO-1 in colon decreased.Expressions of TLR4,MyD88,Nuclear NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 in colon increased.Com-pared with MPTP group,SalB treatment shortened the climbing time,T-turn time and the first black stool excretion time in SalB treat-ment group,increased the fecal water content and the number of TH positive cells in substantia nigra,lowered TLR4 positive cells in colon,enhanced expression of TH in midbrain and colon,reduced the pathological injury score of colonic mucosa,significantly decreased levels of CP and TNF-α in colon,enhanced expression of ZO-1 in colon,inhibited expressions of TLR4,MyD88,Nuclear NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 in colon.Conclusion:SalB can protect the nerves and intestines and alleviate the intestinal inflamma-tion of PD mice,which may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signal pathway.
