BACKGROUND:Periprosthetic fracture of the femoral of the knee after total knee arthroplasty is one of the common complications,and there is a lack of biomechanical research on the periprosthetic fractures of the femoral of the knee under different bone strength conditions.The three-dimensional finite element analysis can provide a biomechanical basis for clinical practice. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biomechanical changes of anterior femoral notching after total knee arthroplasty under different bone strengths,and to provide a mechanical basis for the clinical prevention of supracondylar femoral periprosthetic fractures after knee arthroplasty. METHODS:The femoral CT data of healthy adults were obtained,and the three-dimensional model of femoral lateral replacement of the knee joint was established by Mimics,Geomagic studio,and Solidworks software.Anterior femoral notching models of different depths were constructed,and the models were imported into ANSYS software to analyze the changes of biological stress on the femoral condyle with different bone strengths and different anterior femoral notching depths.The stress changes of the femoral anterior condyle section after and before the filling of anterior femoral notching with bone cement were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Under any bone strength,the supracondylar stress increased with the depth of anterior femoral notching.In normal bone conditions,there was a stress abrupt change point when the anterior femoral notching depth was between 3 mm and 4 mm.In the case of osteoporosis,there was a stress abrupt point when the anterior femoral notching depth was between 2 mm and 3 mm.(2)When anterior femoral notching occurred during knee arthroplasty and the depth exceeded the thickness of the bone cortex,the supracondylar stress of the femoral gradually increased as the bone strength decreased.(3)The stress of the anterior femoral condyle section decreased when the model with an anterior femoral notching depth of 3 mm was filled with bone cement.(4)The results show that anterior femoral notching should be avoided during knee arthroplasty,especially in patients with osteoporosis.If anterior femoral notching occurs during surgery,bone cement can be used to evenly fill the anterior femoral notching to reduce the supracondylar stress of the femur and reduce the incidence of periprosthetic fractures of the femoral joint

Glaucoma is a multifactorial degenerative optic neuropathy, and its irreversible and blinding pathological characteristics mainly come from the damage to the optic nerve, namely glaucomatous optic neuropathy(GON). The difficulty in the treatment of GON lies in the early intervention, and currently there is no optic neuroprotective drug for the treatment of all types of GON. The death of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)is the core pathological change caused by various pathogenic mechanisms of GON. Recent studies have found that the widespread second messenger cyclic adenosine 3', 5' -monophosphate(cAMP)and its downstream effector protein kinase A(PKA)signal cascade play an important role in the pathogenesis of GON. It can also inhibit the apoptosis of RGCs and play a protective and therapeutic role in glaucoma. Therefore, this article reviews the role of cAMP/PKA pathway in the pathophysiological development of GON, focusing on its effects on glaucoma intraocular pressure regulation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and optic nerve degeneration, in order to find a common central regulatory target for the optic nerve damage caused by different pathological mechanisms of GON and promote the further understanding and clinical treatment of this disease.

This paper summarized PENG Qinghua's clinical experience in treating dry eye by applying therapeutic method of maintaining with sweet medicinals and restoring the body fluids. It is believed that the spleen earth insufficiency and fluids damage transforming into dryness are the main pathogenesis of the disease, and the basic therapeutic principle is maintaining with the sweet and restoring the body fluids by mainly using sweet medicines. It is advocated to use mild-sweet herbs, such as Baibiandou (Lablab purpureus subsp. purpureus), Fuling (Smilax glabra Roxb.), and Yiyiren (Coix lacryma-jobi L.), to transport spleen earth, so that qi is restored and body fluids are recovered; moderate-sweet herbs, such as Dangshen (Codonopsis pilosula [Franch.] Nannf.), Taizishen (Pseudostellaria heterophylla [Miq.] Pax), Shanyao (Dioscorea oppositifolia L.) and Zhigancao (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) are suggested to cultivate earth and generate metal, so as to move qi and circulate fluid; sweet-cool herbs, such as Nanshashen (Adenophora triphylla [Thunb.] A.DC.), Beishashen (Glehnia littoralis [A.Gray] F.Schmidt ex Miq.), Yuzhu (Polygonatum odoratum [Mill.] Druce), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim.) are suggested to nourish yin and increase body fluids, so as to promote fluid production to moisten dryness. In this way, when the source of fluid is restored and the fluid is circulated, the fluid can be produced continuously, which provides new ideas for the treatment of dry eyes with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To prepare the anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) nanoantibody P3C8-C3Fab by ligating with C3Fab and to investigate its role in plasma half-life.Methods:The C3Fab peptide derived from protein G was molecularly fused with the nanobody P3C8 by DNA recombination technology. The nanoantibody P3C8-C3Fab was inducibly expressed and purified in the E. coli BL21 strain, and the binding of it to PD-L1 protein, mouse IgG, and PD-L1-expressing tumor cells was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The residual P3C8-C3Fab was detected in mouse serum at different times using double-antibody sandwich ELISA to assess the prolongation of the plasma half-life of PD-L1 nanobodies by C3Fab. Results:The nanoantibody P3C8-C3Fab was successfully constructed, and it could efficiently express itself in soluble form in BL21. The purified NbP3C8-C3Fab protein was obtained with a mass fraction of about 90% at a yield of 7.18 mg/L. The affinity of P3C8-C3Fab for PD-L1 protein and mouse IgG gradually increased with increasing mass concentration and showed a concentration correlation. The binding of P3C8-C3Fab to lung cancer A549 cells showed a concentration correlation. The concentration standard curve of P3C8-C3Fab in mouse serum showed a typical S-shape with a concentration correlation. The plasma half-life of P3C8 was only 0.44 h, while the plasma half-life of P3C8-C3Fab was 21.27-fold higher, up to 9.36 h.Conclusions:The linkage of C3Fab to the nanobodies of P3C8 can significantly prolong the plasma half-life of P3C8, which is valuable for the improvement of in vivo nanobody effects.

By exploring the theory of “the liver is the basis of resistance to fatigue”, it is believed that liver with its physiological function of storing blood and governing the free flow of qi plays an important role in the body's tole-rance to physical fatigue and mental fatigue, and it is also related to the physiological activities of eyes and tendons. The formation of asthenopia is related to the dysfunction of liver, spleen and kidney. The liver plays a key role in the occurrence and development of asthenopia. The deficiency of liver blood and liver dysfunction will cause the abnormal circulation of qi and blood, which leads to the loss of malnutrition of eyes and affects the normal physiological function of eyes. During treatment, we pay attention to nourishing the blood and soothing the liver to nourish the spirit, regulating and tonifying liver qi to stimulate the liver yang, strengthening the spleen and soothing liver to replenish qi and promoting yang, nourishing the liver and kidney to harmonize yin and yang, which are meant to restore the physiological characteristics of liver being yin in form but yang in function, so as to cure asthenopia.

Objective:To explore the early coagulation function changes of penetrating intestinal firearm injury of pig in high-altitude environments.Methods:Twenty healthy long white piglets were selected and divided into the plain group and the high-altitude group using the random number table method, with 10 pigs in each group. Pigs in the plain group were placed in a plain environment at an altitude of 800 meters, while pigs in the high-altitude group were placed in an experimental chamber simulating an altitude of 6 000 meters for 48 hours. Both groups received pistol gunshot to have firearm penetrating wounds to the abdominal intestinal tract and then returned to the plain observation room. At 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury, coagulation in the peripheral blood and fibrinolytic indexes [prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fbg), D-dimer (D-D), and fibrinogen degradation product (FDP)], thromboelastogram (TEG) [reaction time (R), clotting time (K), clot formation rate (α), maximum amplitude (MA) and coagulation composite index (CI) ], platelet parameters [platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR)] in the two groups were detected separately.Results:The PT values at 0 and 2 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 8, 12 and 24 hours than those in the plain group ( P<0.01); there was no significant difference at 4 hours between the two groups ( P>0.05).

The Fbg, D-D and FDP values at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury were higher in the high-altitude group than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The R values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The K values at 0, 2, 4 and 8 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The α angles at 0, 2 and 4 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The MA values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after the injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The CI values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The PLT values at 0, 2, 4 and 8 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The MPV values at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The PDW values at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group ( P<0.05 or 0.01), while there was no significant difference in PDW at 0 hour after injury between the two groups ( P>0.05). The P-LCR values at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were all significantly higher than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Compared with the plain environments, pig intestinal firearm penetrating injury in the high-altitude environments is more prone to early hypercoagulable state accompanied by mild hyperfibrinolysis, and faster to reach a hypocoagulable state accompanied by obvious hyperfibrinolysis.

This paper summarized PENG Qinghua's experience in treating age-related dry eye based on the theory of ministerial fire. Guided by the theory of ministerial fire, it is believed that the key pathogenesis of age-related dry eye is transgression of ministerial fire, and kidney yang deficiency-cold, kidney yin depletion, and spleen-earth insufficiency are the causes of transgression of ministerial fire. The general principle of treatment is to conceal the ministerial fire. For kidney yang deficiency-cold and floating ministerial fire, the treatment should tonify the kidney and warm yang, and return fire to its origin, with Yin Huo Decoction (引火汤); for kidney yin depletion and frenetic stirring of ministerial fire, the treatment should tonify the kidney and supplement essence, enrich yin and reduce fire, with Sancai Fengsui Pellet (三才封髓丹); and for spleen-earth insufficiency, and fumigation of ministerial fire, the treatment should strengthen and activate spleen qi, and reinforce soil and hidden fire, with Renshen Huangqi Decoction (人参黄芪汤).

Based on the theory of "disease involving both dryness and dampness", it is believed that the complex of dryness and dampness and the mutual stalemate between them produce the disease, forming a pathological state of dampness within dryness and dryness within dampness. The two can occur accompanied by each other, transform into each other, and coexist as a disease. According to the clinical characteristics of sjögren's syndrome-related dry eye disease (SS-DED), it is believed that its symptoms can reflect the pathological state of coexistence of dryness and dampness, and that "disease involving both dryness and dampness" is the key pathogenesis. The main treatment principles are performing both purgation and tonification, and treating the dryness and dampness simultaneously. The treatment should focus on rectifying qi, fortifying spleen and dispelling dampness, as well as opening orifices, nou-rishing yin and moistening dryness, usually with Shashen Maidong Decoction (沙参麦冬汤) and Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (香砂六君子汤) in modifications. The theory of "disease involving both dryness and dampness" is expected to provide ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of SS-DED.

Objective To observe the changes to,and possible mechanism of,intestinal permeability in pigs without direct injury after an abdominal-and intestinal-penetrating injury from firearms in cold environment at high altitudes.Methods Fifty-five experimental pigs were divided into two groups:high-altitude cold group(HC)and low-altitude normal temperature group(LN).According to the observation time,each group was divided into five experimental subgroups:0h,2h,4 h,8h,and 24 h.There were six pigs in each HC subgroup and five pigs in each LN subgroup.After euthanasia,intestinal tissues were taken,and the levels of the inflammatory factors TNF-α,and IL-6 in intestinal homogenate and the concentrations of intestinal permeability-related proteins DAO and D-lactate acid in blood were detected by ELISA method.The intestinal tissues of experimental pigs were taken at 0 h and 8 h for LN and 8 h for HC,and intestinal pathological changes were observed and scored after HE staining.The concentrations of Occludin,ZO-1,Claudin-3,TLR4,NF-κB,and MLCK(proteins related to intestinal permeability)were detected by Western blot to explore the effect of a cold environment at high altitude on secondary intestinal permeability changes after injury and the possible mechanisms.Results Both the HC group and LN group experienced typical abdominal intestinal penetrating injuries,and there were no significant differences in their abdominal infection scores or intestinal adhesion(P>0.05).The levels of DAO and D-LA in the serum of experimental pigs in the HC and LN groups gradually increased over time.The levels of DAO and D-LA in the HC group were significantly higher than those in the LN group at all time points(P<0.01 or P<0.001).The fastest increase in DAO and D-LA in the HC group was 4 h to 8 h,while in the LN group,it was 8 h to 24 h.The pathological score of intestinal tissue in the HC group was significantly higher than that in the LN group of experimental pigs(P<0.01).The inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 both increased over time in the intestinal tissue of LN and HC groups.The most significant time point for a increase of inflammatory factors in the HC group was 4 h to 8 h,while in the LN group,it was 8 h to 24 h.The intestinal tissue IL-6 and TNF-α levels of experimental pigs in the HC group were higher than those in the LN group the entire time(P<0.05,P<0.01,or P<0.001).The levels of occludin and ZO-1 in the HC group at 8 h decreased significantly compared to those of the LN group at the 8 h time point(P<0.05),while claudin-3 showed a significant decrease in LN(P<0.001).In the HC group,TLR4,NF-κB,and MLCK were both higher than those in the LN group at 8 h,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions A high-altitude cold environment can lead to a secondary increase in intestinal permeability after abdominal-penetrating firearm injury,and its mechanism may be related to the TLR4/NF-κB/MLCK pathway.
