ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and radiographic outcomes of manipulative reduction combined with small splint fixation in the treatment of distal radius fractures. MethodsThe clinical data of 1051 patients with distal radius fractures were retrospectively collected from five hospitals included in the Jiangsu Diagnosis and Treatment Data Platform for Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM） Dominant Diseases. Propensity score matching at a 1∶4 ratio was applied， resulting in 580 cases selected for final analysis， which comprised 448 patients in the TCM group（manipulative reduction plus small splint fixation） and 132 in the surgical treatment group（open reduction and internal fixation）. Each group was further stratified into type A， B， and C subgroups based on AO fracture classification. Radiographic indicators including palmar tilt， radial inclination， and radial height were compared between groups before treatment and 1 day， 1 week， and 4-6 weeks after treatment， and pain visual analog scale（VAS） scores before treatment and 1 week and 4-6 weeks after treatment were also compared. Wrist joint function was assessed 12 weeks after treatment， using the Dienst wrist function score and the Gartland and Werley（G-W） wrist function score. Additionally， the radiographic indicators at different timepoints and the 12-week wrist function levels were compared between groups across different fracture types. ResultsNo statistically significant difference was observed in radiographic indicators and VAS scores at all timepoints before and after treatment， as well as wrist joint function grades assessed by the Dienst score and the G-W score at 12 weeks after treatment （P＞0.05）. Compared to those before treatment， both groups showed increased palmar tilt， radial inclination， and radial height 1 week and 4-6 weeks after treatment， and decreased VAS scores （P＜0.05）. Compared to those 1 week after treatment， both groups showed a decrease in palmar tilt， an increase in radial inclination and radial height， and a reduction in VAS score 4-6 weeks after treatment（P＜0.05）. In type A and B subgroups， the surgical treatment group had a higher radial inclination than the TCM group 4-6 weeks after treatment， while in the type C subgroup， a higher radial height was shown in the surgical treatment group than in the TCM group 4-6 weeks after treatment（P＜0.05）. In type C subgroup， there was significant difference between groups in the wrist joint function by G-W scores 12 weeks after treatment（P＜0.05）. ConclusionManipulative reduction combined with small splint fixation can maintain fracture alignment and alleviate pain in treating distal radius fractures， which achieves therapeutic outcomes comparable to surgical treatment. It is particularly suitable for type A and B fractures and can be considered an effective treatment option for distal radius fractures.

ObjectiveTo construct an automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination suitable for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） clinical scenarios， and to validate its accuracy and efficiency in TCM manipulative reduction settings. MethodsData on anteroposterior （AP） and lateral X-rays of distal radius fractures were collected from patients admitted to 18 TCM/ integrated TCM and western medicine hospitals in Jiangsu province between September 1st， 2023， and September 1st， 2024， via the Jiangsu Diagnosis and Treatment Big Data Platform for TCM Dominant Diseases. A medical image segmentation framework based on multi-scale feature fusion and edge-awareness was employed， combined with anatomical knowledge specific to TCM orthopedics， to optimize the feature extraction strategy of an artificial intelligence （AI） model. This framework enabled automatic segmentation of fracture regions and measurement of distal radius palmar tilt and radial inclination. The accuracy of the AI model in measuring radial inclination and volar tilt was validated， and the measurement time and average time gain rate of the AI model were compared to those of manual measurement. ResultsA total of 15,444 AP and lateral X-ray images of distal radius fractures were collected， and were divided into a training set （11,144 images， 5066 AP and 6078 lateral）， a validation set （3700 images， 1840 AP and 1860 lateral）， and an independent test set （600 images， 300 AP and 300 lateral） after preprocessing. In the measurement of 300 AP X-rays in the independent test set for radial inclination， when the degree error between AI measurement and manual measurement was ＜3° and ＜5°， AI measurement accuracy was 83% and 93%， respectively. In 300 lateral X-rays in the test set for palmar tilt， when AI measurements had an error of ＜3° and ＜5° compared to manual measurements， corresponding accuracy rate was 78% and 90%， respectively. For 50 X-ray images， AI measurement time was （1.37±0.05） min for radial inclination while manual measurement time was （22.57±2.52） min （P＜0.001）； in terms of palmar tilt， the AI measurement time was （1.33±0.14） min， shorter than （23.70±2.80） min for manual measurement time （P＜0.001）. Average time gain rates for manual and AI measurements were 93.93% and 94.39% respectively. ConclusionAn automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination in distal radius fractures has been established， enabling more accurate and efficient assessment as well as providing a tool to support the quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of TCM manipulative reduction and large-sample clinical research.

Objective To investigate the capacity of municipal and county-level Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Shandong Province for γ radionuclides in food as well as gross α and gross β in drinking water, and to provide evidence for strengthening radiological laboratories. Method Data regarding radioactive detection capacity were collected from 16 prefecture-level cities and 136 county-level CDCs. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare capacity differences across regions and between cities with and without nuclear power plants. Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the spatial equity of gross α and gross β detection capacity for drinking water. Result The detection capacity of gross α and gross β in drinking water varied significantly among counties (χ²=81.026, P<0.001），no significant difference was found between coastal and inland cities (χ²=2.021，P>0.155); Cities with nuclear power plants showed better detection capacity (χ²=20.253，P<0.01). The detection capacity for γ radionuclides in food was primarily concentrated in the prefecture-level cities that host nuclear power plants. Conclusion The overall detection capacity for radioactivity in drinking water was acceptable but spatially uneven. The capacity for monitoring radioactive contamination in food was generally weak. It is necessary to strengthen capacity building at the grassroots level.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis, despite advancements in treatment. Many patients struggle with relapse or refractory disease. Investigating the role of the super-enhancer (SE) regulated gene ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) in T-ALL could enhance targeted therapies and improve clinical outcomes. Analysis of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data from six T-ALL cell lines and seven pediatric samples identified USP20 as an SE-regulated driver gene. Utilizing the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and BloodSpot databases, it was found that USP20 is specifically highly expressed in T-ALL. Knocking down USP20 with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) increased apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in T-ALL cells. In vivo studies showed that USP20 knockdown reduced tumor growth and improved survival. The USP20 inhibitor GSK2643943A demonstrated similar anti-tumor effects. Mass spectrometry, RNA-Seq, and immunoprecipitation revealed that USP20 interacted with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and stabilized it by deubiquitination. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) results indicated that USP20 co-localized with HIF1A, jointly modulating target genes in T-ALL. This study identifies USP20 as a therapeutic target in T-ALL and suggests GSK2643943A as a potential treatment strategy.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of pudendal nerve modulation (PNM) in the treatment of female pudendal neuralgia (PN)，so as to promote the clinical application of this technique. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 female PN patients who failed conservative treatment at Gongli Hospital during Nov.2020 and Oct.2023.All patients underwent simultaneous PNM and sacral nerve modulation (SNM) with the assistance of 3D printing navigation.Dual-stage test electrodes for PNM and SNM were implanted，followed by alternate therapeutic trial for each modality.Secondary conversion rates and longitudinal outcomes，including visual analogue score (VAS)，patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)，and quality of life (QoL) scores were compared preoperatively，post-stage Ⅰ，and at 3，6，and 12 months post-stage Ⅱ. Results: All operations were successful.After the trial phase，the secondary conversion rate for PNM was significantly higher than that for SNM; 16 patients (16/20，80%) chose the second-phase PNM implantation surgery，3 (3/20，15%) chose second-phase SNM implantation，and 1 (1/20，5%) had electrodes removed due to ineffective results from both trials.Further assessment revealed that the improvements in VAS，PHQ-9，and QoL scores for PNM patients were significantly better than those for SNM patients after the first phase of surgery and at 3，6 and 12 months after the second-phase conversion (P<0.05).No complications such as electrode migration or infection were observed during the follow-up of 12-15 months. Conclusion: PNM provides more effective relief of pain symptoms and improvements in depressive states for female PN patients compared to SNM.With the assistance of 3D printing navigation，the operation is simple and safe，and offers stable therapeutic effects.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To explore the short-term efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of early carcinoma in the remnant stomach. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 45 patients with early residual gastric cancer underwent ESD at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2014 to April 2024, with a total of 45 lesions. The patients were divided into an anastomotic group (n=15) and a non-anastomotic group (n=30) based on the location of tumor occurrence, and their clinical data, endoscopic diagnosis and treatment, and histopathological conditions were compared between the two groups. Results All 45 patients had lesions with redness and erosion. There were 9 cases of poor lifting of submucosal injection in the anastomotic group and 2 cases in the non-anastomotic group, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ESD surgery was performed on 13 lesions in the anastomotic group and 28 lesions in the non-anastomotic group, with surgery times of 80.00 (50.00, 100.00) min and 55.00 (43.75, 80.00) min, respectively. The difference in surgery time between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.03). Among the 45 patients, ESD surgery achieved curative resection in 35 cases, including 11 cases in the anastomotic group and 24 cases in the non-anastomotic group, with no statistically significant difference. Conclusions Careful preoperative evaluation of early carcinoma in the remnant stomach is essential to prevent oversight. Lesions at anastomotic sites and suture lines present higher technical challenges for complete resection. ESD is safe and effective, with auxiliary traction technique available when necessary.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of optical navigation system（ONS）-guided sacral neuromodulation（SNM）electrode implantation for precise puncture.Methods:?This study was a randomized，controlled trial. Patients who underwent SNM electrode implantation at the Gongli Hospital，Pudong New Area，Shanghai，from February 2024 to March 2025 were included. Inclusion criteria：aged 18?80 years，meeting the indications recommended by the Chinese expert consensus on the clinical application of sacral neuromodulation or expanded applications，and having completed pelvic CT and MRI examinations to ensure image quality for navigation system use. Exclusion criteria：progressive neurological diseases，severe urinary tract infections，urinary tract obstruction，or other conditions that may affect surgical outcomes and safety. Patients were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table and a single-blind design was implemented. The two groups underwent different puncture guidance methods in the stage Ⅰ surgery，but other treatments and follow-up measures were consistent.The experimental group used ONS-guided puncture with preoperative pelvic CT and MRI scans for multimodal image fusion and 3D reconstruction and software-based puncture path planning for real-time intraoperative guidance. The control group used X-ray-guided cross-positioning，determining the S3 sacral foramen for puncture based on anatomical landmarks with a metal positioning ruler under fluoroscopy. The puncture path was planned using software to achieve real-time intraoperative guidance. Intraoperative indicators（number of punctures，puncture time，electrode contact points，minimum effective voltage，X-ray fluoroscopy time，radiation dose，total surgical time）and postoperative outcomes（complications，pain scores，stage Ⅱ permanent implantation rates）were compared between the two groups to assess the advantages and feasibility of ONS-guided sacral nerve electrode implantation.Results:?A total of 35 patients were included in each group. The experimental group had fewer intraoperative puncture attempts［2.0（2.0，3.0）vs. 5.0（4.0，7.0）］and shorter puncture procedure time［7.5（6.0，10.0）min vs. 14.0（12.0，18.0）min］，indicating more accurate and efficient ONS-guided puncture. There was no statistical difference in the number of electrode contact points between the two groups［3.0（3.0，4.0）vs. 3.0（3.5，3.8）， P = 0.374］，but the experimental group had a lower effective voltage［1.8（1.8，2.5）V vs. 2.5（1.8，3.0）V］and shorter stimulator adjustment time［10.0（8.0，12.0）min vs. 16.0（13.0，20.0）min］. The experimental group had shorter intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy time［1.6（1.1，2.2）min vs. 4.6（3.8，6.0）min］，lower radiation dose［165.8（107.6，205.3）mGy vs. 427.4（325.1，636.5）mGy］，shorter total surgical time［52.0（49.0，57.8）min vs. 68.0（62.0，74.0）min］，less intraoperative blood loss［4.0（4.0，5.0）ml vs. 6.0（5.0，7.0）ml］，and a lower proportion of patients requiring supplemental local anesthesia［14.3%（5/35）vs. 40.0%（14/35）］. The postoperative wound infection rates were not statistically different between the two groups［0 vs. 2.9%（1/35）， P = 1.000］，but the experimental group had significantly lower pain scores on postoperative day 1［（1.9 ± 1.1）vs.（3.2 ± 1.4）］and a higher stage Ⅱ permanent implantation rate［85.7%（30/35）vs. 65.7%（23/35）］，with statistically significant differences（ P < 0.05）. Conclusions:?ONS-guided SNM electrode implantation reduces the number of puncture attempts，surgical time，and X-ray radiation，effectively lowers the effective voltage，and increases the stage Ⅱ permanent implantation rate.

BACKGROUND:The study of deer antler stem cells and exosomes to promote the repair of acute skin injuries has received increasing attention in recent years,but the effect and mechanism of exosomes composite hydrogel to promote the repair of burn wounds are still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel on the healing speed and quality of rat deep third-degree burn wound and its mechanism of action.METHODS:Deer antler stem cell exosomes and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell exosomes were extracted and compounded with Pluronic F-127 to prepare a temperature-sensitive hydrogel.A constant temperature and pressure burn apparatus was used to prepare a rat model of deep third-degree burn.The drug was administered to four groups:deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group,human epidermal growth factor gel group,and the control group.The healing of burned rats was observed and the wound healing rate was calculated.At 28 days after burn,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the generation of skin accessory structures in the healing tissues.Masson staining was used to analyze the accumulation of collagen in the healing tissues.Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the angiogenesis and nflammatory response in the healing tissues.qRT-PCR was used to examine the expression level of mRNA of the wound healing-related genes in the healing tissues.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel can significantly promote the healing rate of deep burn wounds in rats,and improve the quality of wound healing by promoting the regeneration of skin collateral structures,increasing the dermal thickness and enhancing the accumulation of collagen.(2)The number of myofibroblasts in the wound healing tissues of deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group was significantly reduced,and the number of neovascularization and M2 macrophages was significantly increased.(3)The mRNA levels of transforming growth factor β3 and type Ⅲ collagen in the wound healing tissue of deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group were significantly higher than those of the blank group,and the mRNA levels of transforming growth factor β1,matrix metalloproteinase 3,and type Ⅰ collagen were significantly lower than those of the blank group,and there was no significant difference between the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group and the human epidermal growth factor gel group.In conclusion,deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel can promote the healing speed and the quality of healing of deep burned wounds in rats,which may be achieved by inhibiting fibroblastogenesis,promoting angiogenesis,macrophage M2 polarization,and regulating the expression of genes for collagen production/degradation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the treatment of ileocecal valve lipoma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on data of ileocecal lipoma patients who underwent ESD at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2013 to June 2023. According to the lesion location, the patients were divided into ileocecal valve group and cecum group. The operation time, operation speed, en bloc resection rate, complications, and follow-up outcomes between the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 59 patients with ileocecal lipoma were enrolled, including 31 patients in the ileocecal valve group and 28 patients in the cecum group.There were no significant differences in gender, age, specimen size, or lesion size between the two groups ( P>0.05). Lipomas in both the ileocecal valve group and the cecum group were successfully resected by ESD. The en bloc resection rates were 100.0% (31/31) and 92.9% (26/28) respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=0.033, P=0.133). Median operative duration significantly differed between the two groups ( ileocecal valve group 26 min VS cecum group 20 min, Z=-0.136, P=0.027), as did resection speed (ileocecal valve group 0.14 cm2/min VS cecum group 0.24 cm2/min, Z=-0.223, P=0.022). Adverse events included one postoperative fever in the ileocecal valve group and one delayed bleeding in the cecum group. During the median follow-up of 38 months (7-106 months), there was no case of residual tumor or recurrence. Conclusion:Despite technical challenges in ESD of ileocecal valve lipoma, it is still a safe, feasible and effective treatment method.
