ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Mingshi prescription regulates the retinal melanopsin-dopamine （Opn4-DA） axis in myopic mice to inhibit endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress in the retina and sclera， thereby delaying axial elongation associated with myopia. MethodsSixty 4-week-old male SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal group， a form-deprived myopia group （FDM group）， an intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells ablation group （ipRGCs group）， a Mingshi Prescription group （MSF group， 5.2 g·kg^-1）， and an ipRGCs + MSF group （5.2 g·kg^-1）. Except for the normal group， all other groups underwent FDM modeling. Additionally， the ipRGCs and ipRGCs + MSF groups received retinal ipRGC ablation. Three weeks after modeling， the MSF and ipRGCs + MSF groups were administered Mingshi prescription via continuous gavage for six weeks. After refraction and axial length were measured in all mice， eyeballs were collected along with retinal and scleral tissues. Pathological and morphological changes in the retina， choroid， and sclera were observed using periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. Western blot was employed to detect the relative protein expression levels of dopamine D1 receptor （DRD1）， C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP）， and glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78） in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Real-time PCR was used to detect the relative mRNA expression of Opn4， CHOP， and GRP78 in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Immunofluorescence staining （IF） was performed to detect the expression of Opn4 and DRD1 in retinal tissues. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the FDM group showed a significant myopic shift in refraction （P<0.05） and a significant increase in axial length （P<0.05）. The retinal layers were thinner， the number of ganglion cells was reduced， and collagen fibers in the sclera were loosely arranged with evident gaps. Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retinal and scleral tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the ipRGCs group exhibited further increases in myopic refraction and axial length （P<0.05）， more pronounced thinning and looseness in the retinal， choroidal， and scleral layers， lower expression of Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA in the retina （P<0.05）， and higher expression of CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA in the retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the MSF group showed significantly reduced refractive error and axial length （P<0.05）， with improved cellular number， arrangement， and thickness in ocular tissues， increased Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina （P<0.05）， and reduced CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Similarly， the ipRGCs + MSF group showed significant improvements in terms of the above items compared with the ipRGCs group （P<0.05）. ConclusionMingshi Prescription delays myopic axial elongation and refractive progression by regulating the Opn4-DA axis in the retina of myopic mice， thereby inhibiting ER stress in the retina and sclera. This intervention promotes Qi and blood nourishment of the eyes， softens the fascia， and restores ocular rhythm.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus, characterized by neurodegeneration and microangiopathy. Currently, the treatment of DR is mainly focused on the management of late complications and has not achieved the desired clinical outcome. Evidence suggests that the PI3K/AKT pathway, as one of the important intracellular signaling pathways during the cell cycle, is involved in the whole process of DR pathogenesis. This article focuses on the structural composition, activation and blocking pathways, conduction pathways, regulatory mechanisms and biological functions of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to review its role in DR and to explore the potential of targeting the PI3K/AKT pathway for the treatment of DR.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic surgery for the treatment of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) in athletes.Methods:A total of 18 FAI athletes (athlete group) who underwent hip arthroscopy in the Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from April 2014 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 12 males and 6 females, aged 20.44±3.45 years (range, 15-27 years). According to gender, age, body mass index and follow-up time, 36 non-athlete FAI patients (non-athlete group) were matched at a ratio of 1∶2 by propensity score matching method. There were 18 males and 18 females, aged 20.81±4.68 years (range 14-31 years). The hip pain visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris hip score (mHHS), hip outcome score-activity of daily living scale (HOS-ADL) and hip outcome score-sports scale (HOS-SS) scores were compared between the two groups before and after surgery. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were also compared between the two groups.Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 33.56±19.20 months (range, 24-77 months). The VAS score at the last follow-up decreased from 6.22±1.52 points before surgery to 1.28±1.67 points in the athletes group, and decreased from 6.28±1.37 points before surgery to 1.67±1.69 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The mHHS score at the last follow-up increased from 65.53±12.90 points before surgery to 92.28±13.59 points in the athletes group, and increased from 61.01±11.96 points before surgery to 86.82±11.98 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-ADL score at the last follow-up increased from 72.77±18.86 points before surgery to 94.00±11.36 points in the athletes group, and increased from 70.35±13.12 points before surgery to 90.78±9.36 points in non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-SS score at the last follow-up increased from 49.77±22.93 points before surgery to 87.28±17.62 points in the athletes group, and increased from 44.08±19.66 before surgery to 72.57±20.16 in the non-athletes group. The HOS-SS scores in the athletes group at the last follow-up were higher than those in the non-athletes group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, 61% (11/18) in the athletes group achieved MCID in HOS-ADL after surgery, which was lower than the non-athletes group's 81% (31/36), with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=4.339, P=0.037). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy in the treatment of FAI in athletes can achieve satisfactory pain relief and motor function.

Femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition characterized by abnormal anatomical structures of the femoral head and/or acetabulum, leading to impingement between the proximal femur and the rim of the acetabulum during hip movement. This impingement causes damage to the acetabular cartilage, labrum, chronic hip pain, and limited range of motion. The diagnosis of this condition requires evaluation based on symptoms, physical signs, and imaging examinations. Among these, imaging plays a crucial role in assessing the pathology of FAI. In recent years, imaging techniques have contributed to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying FAI and the development of hip-preserving surgeries. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reference for the imaging-related diagnosis and measurement of FAI. X-ray films include pelvic anteroposterior view, false-profile view and 45°Dunn view. Doctors can understand the anatomical morphology of the femur and acetabulum by measuring relevant indicators in the X-ray films. For example, the α Angle of the femur >50°-60 ° in the pelvic anteroposterior view can indicate CAM-type FAI. However, the crisscross sign, posterior wall sign and LCE Angle >40° suggest Pincer type FAI. The ACE Angle, which reflects the anterior coverage of the acetabulum, was mainly measured on the false-profile view. The ACE Angle <20° is considered as insufficient anterior acetabular coverage, and acetabular dysplasia may be present.If it >40° is the anterior acetabular overcoverage, suggesting pincer-type FAI. The 45°Dunn view is mainly used to show the femoral head and neck deformity at 3 o'clock, where the femoroacetabular impingement is obvious. This position has a good indication effect for CAM-type FAI. CT can show the shape of the hip joint more intuitively by three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient's hip joint, which is convenient for surgical planning and postoperative evaluation. In addition, CT can also be used for the differential diagnosis of external hip impingement, such as ischiofemoral impingement, anterior inferior iliac spine impingement and greatertrochanteric impingement. MR Has excellent soft tissue imaging ability and can show other lesions that are difficult to be found by X-ray and CT, such as acetabular labrum and cartilage injury. It is essential for preoperative evaluation. Appropriate imaging examination plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of FAI.

There were 27 cases of papillary adenocarcinoma, 26 cases of tubular adenocarcinoma, 22 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma, 9 cases of signet-ring cell carcinoma, 7 cases of adenosquamous carcinoma, and 2 cases of squamous carcinoma. The patients were divided into experimental group (48 cases) and control group (45 cases) according to whether or not the linear cutting and closing device was added and jejunal anastomosis was performed and jejunal nutrition tube was placed. The gender composition, age, lesion site, pathological type, pathological stage, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups, and the white blood cell count WBC, C-reactive protein CRP on the 7th day after surgery, erythrocyte Sedimentation rate (ESR), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) inflammation indicators were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in gender composition, age, lesion location, pathological type and pathological stage between the two groups (all P>0.05). The incidence of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and pleural effusion in 93 patients were 18.3%(17/93), 21.5%(20/93), 23.7%(22/93), 17.2%(16/93) and 18.3%(17/93), respectively. The complication rates of the above indexes in the two groups were 10.4% (5/48) Compared with 26.7% (12/45), 12.5% (6/48) and 31.1% (14/45), 15.6%(7/48) and 33.3% (15/45), 8.3%(4/48) and 26.7% (12/45), 8.3% (4/48) and 28.9% (13/45) (χ 2 values were 4.11, 4.77, 4.52, 4.27 and 5.27, respectively; P values were 0.043, 0.029, 0.033, 0.039 and 0.022, respectively). There was no significant difference in lower extremity venous thrombosis, anastomotic bleeding, accumulated pneumonia and incision dehiscence between the two groups ( P>0.05). WBC on the 7th day after operation in the experimental group and the control group (7.02±1.83)×10 9/L and (8.39±2.27)×10 9/L ( t=3.22, P=0.002), TNF-α (2.44±0.70) μg/L and (3.56±1.14) μg/L ( t=5.71, P<0.001), IL-6 (235.31±41.72) μg/L and (365.91±73.16) μg/L ( t=10.66, P<0.001) there was significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in CRP and ESR between the two groups on the 7th day after operation ( P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay between the experimental group and the control group was (13.88±2.81) d and (22.78±2.51) d, the difference was statistically significant ( t=16.07, P<0.001). Conclusion:The application of side-to-side jejunostomy combined with jejunal nutrition tube for enteral nutrition in gastric cancer surgery can reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions such as postoperative abdominal pain, abdominal distension, accumulated pneumonia, nausea, vomiting and pleural effusion, reduce the postoperative hospital stay and reduce the postoperative inflammatory reaction to a certain extent.

Management of bone defects caused by fractures，bone tumors or infections is clinically difficult as well as a hot topic in current studies. With further researches over bone defects，the construction of tissue-engineered bone has played a great role in the treatment of bone defects. Blood vessels not only provide the necessary nutritional mineral salts，growth factors，hormones for bone formation，also are able to mediate the interaction among osteoblasts and osteoclasts，osteocytes，bone autonomic nerve and endothelial cells，since bone formation exist spatially and temporally connection with angiogenesis. Therefore，the authors make a systematic literature review on the research progress of the coupling mechanism of angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation，blood vessels and related signal pathways on osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis-related molecules in osteogenic differentiation during the process of traumatic bone defects，so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of bone defects.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome(FAI) for patients over 50 years old,and explore the occurrence regularity and treating rules for such a disease.Methods The clinical data of 71 patients(78 hips with FAI) over 50 years old who underwent arthroscopic treatment for FAI in our department between May 2012 and May 2017 were studied retrospectively.Physical examination,X-ray and CT 3D scans were made preoperatively for explicit diagnosis.The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 66 months,with an average of 31.78 ± 18.07 months.Every patient had a joint space greater than 2 mm,and a grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ hip osteoarthrosis according to the Trnnis scale.Under the hip arthroscopy the synovial hyperplasia was cleaned,the damaged labrum and cartilage were repaired,and the femoroacetabular hyperplasia and the impingement factors were removed to restore the normal shape of femoroacetabular.The joint clearance,changes ofthe alpha angle when at Dunn position and centre edge(CE) angle at normotopia on the X-ray,the intraoperative injuries of cartilages and glenoid labrum and surgical satisfaction and complications were measured and recorded.The modified Harris hip score(mHHS) and visual analogue scale(VAS) were used to evaluate the hip function recovery and pain relief of patients.Results The average age of the patients was 55.15 ± 5.02 years old,ranging from 50 to 69.Among the 23 males and 48 females,there were 33 left hips with FAI and 45 right hips with FAI.The average preoperative joint clearance was 4.81 ± 0.87 mm,and all incisions were healed by first intention after the treatment.The average α angle of the patients decreased from 50.11 ± 4.75 to 42.72 ± 4.7 degrees after the treatment,with the α angle of 7 patients(8.97％) bigger than 55 degree,and that of 40 patients(51.28％) smaller than 50 degree.The average CE angle decreased from 36.54 ± 9.14 degrees to 35.19 ± 8.55 degrees after the treatment,with that of 27 patients(34.62％) bigger than 40 degrees.Before the treatment,the main clinical manifestations were hip pain and swelling,including 36 cases(46.15％) with hip joint lock,70 (89.74％) with groin tenderness.Moreover,75 cases(96.15％) were positive in hip adduction internal rotation test(FADIR) and 64 cases(83.33％) were positive in the hip abduction and external rotation impingement test.However,the pain was relieved or disappeared after the treatment.The average VAS score decreased significantly from preoperative 4.42 ± 1.42 points to 1.31 ± 1.28 at the last follow-up,while the average mHHS score increased significantly from preoperative(52.4 ± 19.38) points to(81.72 ± 10.82) during the last follow-up,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Significant improvement was observed in the mHHs and VAS scores of 89％ patients(P＜0.01).1 patient(1.28％) underwent hip replacement during the follow-up period.No serious complications occurred.Conclusion In most cases,arthroscopic treatment of FAI in old patients(over 50 years old),who were with osteoarthrosis and hip labrum injury,can significantly improve the joint function and relieve pain.It is a treatment with safety.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of clopidogrel(Clog),a platelet aggregation inhibitor,on the development of colitis-associated colon cancer(CAC)and its possible mechanism. METHODS To establish a CAC model,male BALB/c mice were treated with single azoxymethane(AOM) 10 mg · kg-1 by ip. One week later,the mice drank 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)for one week and water for two weeks,which lasted three cycles. From the first day mice received 2.5%DSS water, Clog 12.5,25.0 and 50.0 mg · kg-1 was ig administered once a day. Body mass,clinical symptoms,the number of colon tumor and tumor size in colon tissue were recorded. Hyperplasia of tumors was analyzed by HE staining. In the early inflammatory phase of the CAC model,the length of colons was measured, histological structure and epithelium cell proliferation of colon tissues were evaluated by HE staining and Ki67 staining,respectively. In the tumorigenesis and progression phase of the CAC model,epithe?lium cell proliferation of colon tissues was evaluated by Ki67 staining. The mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of chemokine(C-X-C motif)ligand 2(CXCL2)and its receptor 2(CXCR2)in colon tissues was detected by PCR and immu?nohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with model group,clinical symptoms of mice in Clog 12.5 mg · kg-1 group were alleviated,the size of colon tumors was decreased(P<0.05),and hyperplasia of tumors was reduced(P<0.05). During the inflammatory phase,the clinical symptoms of mice in Clog 12.5 mg·kg-1 group were significantly alleviated(P<0.05),the decrease of body mass was reduced(P<0.01),the colon shrinkage was ameliorated(P<0.01),the inflammatory injury and epithelium cell proliferation in colon tissues were reduced(P<0.05). During the tumorigenesis and progression phase,epithelium cell prolif?eration in colon tissues in Clog 12.5 mg·kg-1 group was reduced(P<0.01),and the mRNA and protein expression of TNF-α,CXCL2 and CXCR2 of colon tissues was decreased(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Clog can alleviate inflammation during the CAC early inflammatory phase and inhibit the formation of CAC. The antitumor effect of Clog may be related to the decrease in expression of CXCL2 and CXCR2.
