Fatigue driving is one of the leading causes of traffic accidents, posing a significant threat to drivers and road safety. Most existing methods focus on studying whole-brain multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which involve a large number of channels, complex data processing, and cumbersome wearable devices. To address this issue, this paper proposes a fatigue detection method based on frontal EEG signals and constructs a fatigue driving detection model using an asymptotic hierarchical fusion network. The model employed a hierarchical fusion strategy, integrating an attention mechanism module into the multi-level convolutional module. By utilizing both cross-attention and self-attention mechanisms, it effectively fused the hierarchical semantic features of power spectral density (PSD) and differential entropy (DE), enhancing the learning of feature dependencies and interactions. Experimental validation was conducted on the public SEED-VIG dataset. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 89.80% using only four frontal EEG channels. Comparative experiments with existing methods demonstrate that the proposed model achieves high accuracy and superior practicality, providing valuable technical support for fatigue driving monitoring and prevention.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of conventional open ankle fusion and three dimensional(3D) printed guide plate assisted arthroscopic ankle fusion.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on 256 patients with advanced traumatic ankle arthritis, who were admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics, Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from May 2018 to February 2023 and underwent ankle fusion procedures. The study cohort comprised 119 males and 137 females, with an age of (59.6±9.5) years (range: 37 to 83 years). Among them, 175 cases underwent internal fixation with plates and screws (58 cases through the combined medial and lateral approach, and 117 cases through the simple lateral approach), 48 cases underwent internal fixation with screws through the anterior approach (conventional open group), and 33 cases underwent minimally invasive arthroscopic ankle fusion assisted by 3D printed guide plate (3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group). Propensity score matching was employed to achieve a 1∶1 match(caliper value=0.02) between the baseline characteristics of patients in the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group and the conventional open group. Perioperative and follow-up data between the two groups were compared using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, χ2 test or corrected χ2 test as appropriate. Results:Matching was successfully achieved with 20 cases in both the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group and the conventional open group, and there were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups (all P>0.05). The operation time in the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group was significantly longer than that in the conventional open group ((88.9±5.6) minutes vs. (77.9±11.7) minutes; t=-2.392, P=0.022), while the frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopies ((1.7±0.8) times vs. (5.2±1.2) times; t=10.604, P<0.01) and length of hospitalization ((5.5±0.9) days vs. (6.4±1.5) days; t=2.480, P=0.018) were significantly lower in the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group compared to the conventional open group. The fusion rate was 95.0% (19/20) in the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group and 85.0% (17/20) in the conventional open group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.278, P=0.598). The fusion time was (12.1±2.0) weeks in the conventional open group and (11.1±1.7) weeks in the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t=1.607, P=0.116). At the final follow-up, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle hindfoot scale was (72.6±5.5)points in the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group and (70.5±5.8)points in the conventional open group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t=-1.003, P=0.322). The pain visual analogue score of the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group was ( M(IQR)) 1.50 (1.00) points, lower than that of the conventional open group by 3.00 (1.00) points, with statistically significant differences ( Z=-3.937, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in complication rate between the conventional open group and the 3D printed guide plate arthroscopy group (25.0%(5/20) vs. 5.0%(1/20), χ2=1.765， P=0.184). Conclusion:3D printed guide plate assisted arthroscopic ankle fusion exhibited several advantages, including reduced frequency of fluoroscopies, alleviation of postoperative pain, and decreased complications and length of hospitalization.

Objective:To investigate and compare the clinical effectiveness and efficacy of cannulated screws and suture anchors in assistance of locking plates reinforcement for enhancing fixation in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 121 patients with proximal humeral fractures who were treated by locking plates reinforcement at Hainan Western Central Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020.Based on the intraoperative method of auxiliary reinforcement for the greater tuberosity of humerus,the patients were divided into cannulated screw group(62 cases)and suture anchor group(59 cases).The Disabilities of the Arm,Shoulder and Hand(DASH)score,Constant-Murley Shoulder Score and Neer Shoulder Function(Neer)Score pre surgery,the 3rd month and 12th month after surgery were recorded and compared between the two groups,so as to assess the changes in shoulder function.Results:The time of operation,the intraoperative bleeding volume,the length of stay and the follow up time of cannulated screw group were respectively(94.7±13.4)min,(230.5±39.2)ml,(9.2±1.3)d and(15.3±4.2)months,and the differences of them between two groups were no significant(P>0.05).All patients were satisfactory for the postoperatively proximal humeral fractures and the reduction of greater tuberosity,and there was no acromial impingement.The DASH scores of two groups at the 12th month after surgery were lower than those at the 3rd month after surgery,and the Constant-Murley scores and Neer scores of two groups at the 12th month after surgery were higher than those at the 3rd month after surgery,and the differences of them were significant(t=12.069,11.446,15.553,14.879,16.223,18.209,P<0.05),respectively.There were no statistically significant differences in DASH score,Constant-Murley score and Neer score at 3rd month and 12th month after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:During surgical treatment for proximal humeral fractures,both cannulated screws and suture anchors can effectively assist to lock plate for strengthening fixation of the greater tuberosity,and maintaining anatomical reduction of the greater tuberosity,and promoting recovery of the function of shoulder joint.

AIM:To investigate the effects and mechanism of long noncoding RNA PCED1B antisense strand 1(lncRNA PCED1B-AS1)on the proliferation,migration,invasion and apoptosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)cells.METHODS:Human PTC cells were cultured in vitro.The expression of PCED1B-AS1 and fused in sarcoma(FUS)was measured by RT-qPCR.The effects of knockdown/overexpression of PCED1B-AS1/FUS on the migration and invasion of PTC cells were detected via Transwell assay.The effects of knockdown/overexpression of PCED1B-AS1/FUS on PTC cell proliferation were analysed via CCK-8 and plate colony assay.The effect of knockdown PCED1B-AS1 on PTC cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry.The target binding of PCED1B-AS1 and FUS was determined with bioin-formatics and RNA immunoprecipitation(RIP)experiments.Fluorescence in situ hybridization experiment was performed to verify whether PCED1B-AS1 colocalises with FUS.The mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway-re-lated proteins were detected via Western blot.RESULTS:(1)PCED1B-AS1 expression was significantly higher and FUS expression was significantly lower in PTC cells compared with normal thyroid Nthy-ori3-1 cell(P<0.05).(2)Knockdown of PCED1B-AS1 and overexpression of FUS inhibited PTC cell migration,invasion and proliferation,and promoted apopto-sis(P<0.05).(3)Bioinformatics analysis and RIP assay verified the existence of targeted binding of PCED1B-AS1 to FUS(P<0.05).(4)PCED1B-AS1 and FUS colocalised in the cytoplasm.(5)Inhibition of PCED1B-AS1 decreased the expression of MAPK signaling pathway-related proteins p-ERK 1/2,p-JNK and p-P38(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:ln-cRNA PCED1B-AS1 inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion,and promotes the apoptosis of PTC cells,and its mechanism may be related to the expression of FUS and the MAPK signaling pathway.

Surgery is the mainstay of lung cancer treatment options.Traditionally,lobectomy has held its place as the gold standard for treating localized lung cancer,while sublobar resection,including wedge resection and segmentectomy,was primarily considered as an alternative,often reserved for patient ineligible to sustain a radical intervention.However,with the widespread application of computed tomography(CT)to clinical practice,the increasing detection rate of pulmonary ground glass nodules(GGNs)has reshaped this landscape.Ground glass opacity(GGO)in persistent lung nodules is an indicative factor of a favorable prognosis,typically corresponding to pathological changes such as atypical adenomatous hyperplasia(AAH),adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS),or adenocarcinomas predominantly featuring a lepidic growth pattern.A large number of retrospective studies have shown that sublobar resection can achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes for such lesions.A series of prospective studies from Japan have confirmed that for early-stage lung cancers dominated by GGOs,sublobar resection is also a viable curative surgical option.The follow-up data showed that there was no statistical difference in the survival status of these patients compared with that of pulmonary lobectomy.This article aims to delve into the role of limited lung resection in the context of lung adenocarcinoma presenting with GGO features.

Ischemic stroke is a common clinical cerebrovascular disease，and its incidence is increasing year by year. Current clinical treatments for stroke mainly include thrombolysis and intravenous thrombectomy，both of which are subject to significant time constraints and often result in residual symptoms，reducing the quality of life for patients. Research has found that there are multiple pathways and mechanisms in the pathological process of stroke，such as the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase （cGAS）/stimulator of interferon gene （STING） pathway. Currently，researchers in China and abroad have conducted extensive studies on the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke， as well as the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） intervention for stroke. The results indicate that traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） can regulate the cGAS/STING pathway to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress，decrease neuronal cell death，and effectively alleviate brain damage from stroke，and it has unique advantages in improving symptoms and prognosis. This article summarized the recent research progress of the mechanism of cGAS/STING pathway regulation in stroke and related TCM intervention，so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of ischemic stroke with TCM characteristics.

BACKGROUND:Currently,the verification of the precision of personalized bone models is usually performed by methods such as paired t-tests or intraclass correlation coefficient,but such methods often require the production of large batches of models,which do not satisfy the need for immediate use of personalized models. OBJECTIVE:To study the feasibility of establishing the equivalent model to verify the precision of the personalized bone model rapidly. METHODS:Bone CT images of three adults were randomly obtained for reconstruction.3D printing was used to create personalized bone models,and then the personalized bone models were scanned using CT and reconstructed.Mimics was used to compare the reconstructed models of bone CT images with the bone CT images.Geomagic Studio was used to analyze the fitting deviation between the reconstruction model of personalized bone model CT image and the reconstruction model of skeletal CT image.The 3D-printed personalized bone model was measured against the measurement positions and dimensions marked on the reconstruction model of skeletal CT image,and the error was calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)By comparing the reconstructed bone CT image model with the bone CT scan image,the two were compatible in terms of anatomical structure and morphology,and the contours almost overlapped.(2)By fitting bias analysis,the standard bias was 0.176,0.226,and 0.143 mm in order,and all the results were<0.25 mm.(3)By measuring and calculating the model,the mean relative errors were 0.44%,0.21%,and 0.13%,and all the results were within 5%error.(4)The constructed equivalent model was in line with the basic conditions for making personalized bone models.The established equivalent model met the clinical needs and design requirements,and it was feasible to use the method of the equivalent model to verify the precision of the personalized bone model quickly.(5)This method could provide a targeted and rapid way to verify the precision of personalized bone models.It could achieve the goal of providing immediate clinical use without the need to produce large batches of models compared to conventional methods such as paired t-tests or intraclass correlation coefficient.
