With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the laboratory detection results of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn(HDFN). METHODS: Related test results of 283 newborns and their mothers' blood samples from Kunming Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August 2023 to May 2024 were collected, including mother and child ABO blood group, RhD blood group, as well as 3 tests of HDFN, total bilirubin (TBil) and indirect bilirubin (IBil). RESULTS: 283 were ABO incompatibility, among which 187 were HDFN positive, with a positive rate of 66.08%; the positive rate of HDFN in neonates with antigen-A incompatibility was 74.12%(126/170), the positive rate of HDFN in neonates with antigen-B incompatibility was 53.57%(60/112), which was the highest in neonates with O/A incompatibility ［75.45%(126/167)］, followed by O/B incompatibility［54.55%(60/110)］. Group by age, the positive rates of HDFN in the ≤1 d group, 2 d group, 3 d group, 4 d group, 5 d group and ≥6 d group were 76.03%(111/146), 67.86%(38/56), 57.14%(24/42), 38.46%(5/13), 46.15%(6/13) and 23.08%(3/13), respectively. With the increase of age, the positive rates of HDFN gradually decreased, there was a statistically significant difference between the ≤3 day age group and >3 day age group ( P <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in TBil and IBil levels between the "direct antibody+indirect antibody+release+" group and the HDFN negative group in newborns. HDFN infants exhibited a rapid increase in bilirubin levels within the first day after birth, with significantly higher TBil and IBil values compared to Non ABO-HDFN infants in the ≤1 day group ( P <0.01). However, the difference of bilirubin levels between the two groups gradually narrowed from 2-6 days after birth, and the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05). The peak value of TBil and IBil occurred on the 4th day after birth in HDFN infants. CONCLUSION ABO-HDFN is most commonly seen in newborns whose mothers are type-O, and the positive rate was the highest in newborns with O/A incompatibility. The detection rate of HDFN is affected by the age of the newborns, and the two were correlated inversely. ABO-HDFN group developed more rapidly with a higher peak. Therefore, HDFN tests should be carried out as soon as possible for mothers and newborns with incompatible blood types, and appropriate treatment should be provided to prevent complications.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of nusinersen sodium in the treatment of children with spinal muscular atrophy(SMA).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 50 children with 5q SMA who received nusinersen sodium treatment and multidisciplinary treatment management in Shanxi Children's Hospital from February 2022 to February 2024.Results Compared with the baseline data,67%(8/12),74%(35/47),and 74%(35/47)of the SMA children had a clinically significant improvement in the scores of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders,Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded,and Revised Upper Limb Module,respectively,and the distance of 6-minute walking test increased from 207.00(179.00,281.50)meters to 233.00(205.25,287.50)meters(P<0.05)after nusinersen sodium treatment.Of all 50 children with SMA,24(48%)showed good tolerability after administration,with no significant or persistent abnormalities observed in 2 034 laboratory test results,and furthermore,there were no serious or immunological adverse events related to the treatment.After treatment,there was a significant change in forced vital capacity as a percentage of the predicted value in 27 children with restrictive ventilatory dysfunction,as well as a significant change in the level of 25-(OH)vitamin D in 15 children with vitamin D deficiency(P<0.05).Conclusions For children with SMA,treatment with nusinersen sodium can continuously improve the response rates of motor function scales,with good tolerability and safety.

This study aims to observe the effects of different doses of Astragali Radix on the expression of glucagon(GLP-1) in se-rum and glucagon receptor(GLP-1R) in cartilage tissue in rats with knee osteoarthritis(KOA), explore the effect of Astragali Radix on the inflammation and apoptosis of KOA by regulating GLP-1/GLP-1R signaling axis, and investigate the mechanism of its action in alleviating KOA. Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: blank group, model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose Astragali Radix groups(3.125, 6.25, and 12.5 g·kg~(-1)), and glucosamine sulfate group(0.1 g·kg~(-1)). Except for the blank group, rats in other groups were injected with sodium iodoacetate(MIA) into the knee joint to establish KOA models. After successful modeling, the rats were continuously treated for five weeks. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the levels of GLP-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α), and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in rat serum. Pathological examination was utilized to observe the pathological changes in knee joint cartilage. The mRNA levels of TNF-α and MMP13 in knee joint cartilage were detected by qRT-PCR, and the protein expression levels of GLP-1R, MMP13, and caspase-8 in knee joint cartilage were detected by Western blot. The expression of GLP-1R and MMP13 in the knee joint was detected by immunohistochemistry. Tunel staining was used to observe the apoptosis of chondrocytes in the knee joint. The above experimental results showed that Astragali Radix may raise the serum levels of GLP-1, reduce serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1, and decrease the relative mRNA expression of TNF-α and MMP13 through the GLP-1/GLP-1R axis. It thus activated GLP-1R, reduced the protein expression of MMP13 and caspase-8 in cartilage, and regulated their related signaling pathways to improve inflammation and apoptosis, so as to protect cartilage and improve KOA.

Aim To explore the effect of serum contai-ning Duhuo Jisheng Decoction on the proliferation,ap-optosis and inflammation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS)induced by tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and to reveal the under-lying mechanism.Methods The MH7A cells were divided into five groups:normal group(10％blank se-rum),model group(10 μg·L-1 TNF-α+10％blank serum),Duhuo Jisheng Decoction low(10 μg·L-1 TNF-α+2.5％drug-containing serum+7.5％blank serum),medium(10 pg·L-1 TNF-α+5％drug-con-taining serum+5％blank serum),high(10 μg·L-1 TNF-α+10％drug-containing serum)dose group.The concentration of serum containing Duhuo Jisheng Decoction was screened by MTT method.Cell prolifer-ation was detected using EdU staining.The expression of proliferation marker Ki67 was detected using immu-nofluorescence staining.The apoptosis rate was meas-ured by flow cytometry.The contents of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-6 and IL-10 in each group were detected by ELISA.The mRNA and protein expression of Bax,Bcl-2,caspase-3 and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the cell prolifera-tion activity of the model group significantly increased,and the level of apoptosis decreased.The content of IFN-γ and IL-6 increased,and the content of IL-4 and IL-10 decreased.The TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated.After the intervention of low,medium and high dose groups of serum containing Du-huo Jisheng Decoction,it could effectively improve the abnormal proliferation of cells and enhance apoptosis.At the same time,it inhibited the inflammatory re-sponse and the activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB sig-naling pathway.Conclusions The serum containing Duhuo Jisheng Decoction can inhibit the abnormal pro-liferation of RA-FLS induced by TNF-α and the secre-tion of pro-inflammatory factors,and enhance apoptosis and anti-inflammatory levels.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB sig-naling pathway.

AIM: To investigate the effect of repeated intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)on the vitreomacular interface(VMI)and its related risk factors in patients with diabetic macular edema(DME).METHODS: The clinical data of 31 patients(55 eyes)with DME who received intravitreal injections of Conbercept(3+PRN)in the ophthalmology department of the First People's Hospital of Zunyi from January 2018 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 9 cases(13 eyes)in the group that has changes in VMI and 22 cases(42 eyes)in the other group that has no changes in VMI. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central retinal thickness(CRT), and central choroidal thickness(CCT)of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors of VMI change were analyzed.RESULTS: The patients were followed up for an average of 9.58±8.32mo, received an average of 4.07±2.17 times of anti-VEGF therapy, and the number of intravitreal injections in VMI changed group was more than that in VMI unchanged group(5.77±2.09 times vs. 3.55±1.93 times, P=0.001). At the last follow-up, compared with before treatment, the BCVA of both patients improved significantly after treatment(both P<0.05), while CCT had no significant change(both P>0.05). CRT of patients in the VMI unchanged group decreased significantly(P=0.039), but there was no significant change in patients of VMI changed group(P=0.627). Logistic regression analysis showed that BCVA was a risk factor for VMI change before treatment(P=0.049, OR=6.210, 95%CI 1.006～38.346).CONCLUSIONS: The VMI of DME patients may change during repeated intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs. The worse the BCVA before treatment, the higher the risk of change in VMI, and the patients with VMI change have a poor response to anti-VEGF treatment.
