Objective To investigate the prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis human infections in Congjiang County, Guizhou Province in 2023, so as to provide insights into formulation of the clonorchiasis control strategy. Methods Congjiang County was divided into eastern, western, southern, northern and central areas according to the geographical locations, and one township was randomly sampled from each area. Then, each administrative village was randomly sampled from each township, and 200 permanent residents over 3 years of age were randomly sampled from each village. Participants’ stool samples were collected for detection of C. sinensis eggs with the Kato-Katz technique (two slides for each stool sample), and the prevalence and intensity of C. sinensis infections were calculated. In addition, the risk factors of clonorchiasis were identified among participants using a questionnaire survey. Results A total of 1 001 residents were included, and the prevalence of C. sinensis infections was 16.28% (163/1 001), with mild infections as the predominant category of infection intensity [73.01% (119/163)]. The prevalence rates of C. sinensis human infections were 30.50% (61/200), 1.50% (3/200), 30.35% (61/201), 12.50% (25/200), and 6.50% (13/200) at five survey sites, respectively (χ² = 107.03, P < 0.05), and there was a significant difference in the prevalence of C. sinensis infections between men [22.44% (112/499)] and women [10.16% (51/502)] (χ² = 27.71, P < 0.05). The prevalence of C. sinensis infections was relatively high among participants at ages of 60 to 70 years [26.14% (23/88)], public servants [46.15% (6/13)], and Han ethnic participants [33.33% (5/15)]. The prevalence of C. sinensis infections was higher among participants with a habit of consuming raw or un-dercooked freshwater fish and shrimp [22.06% (90/408)] than among those without the habit [12.31% (73/593)] (χ² = 16.85, P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the prevalence of C. sinensis infections between participants with [13.99% (41/293)] and without separation of raw and cooked chopping boards [17.23% (122/708)] (χ² = 1.59, P > 0.05). In addition, the prevalence of C. sinensis infections was 8.70% (2/23) and 16.46% (161/978) among participants with and without fever complicated by discomfort in the right upper abdomen during the past half year (χ² = 0.99, P > 0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of C. sinensis human infections was high in Congjiang County, Guizhou Province in 2023, and infections predominantly occurred among young and middle-aged men. Intensified health education among high-risk residents and alteration of dietary habits of consuming raw or undercooked freshwater fish or shrimp are recommended to reduce the prevalence of C. sinensis human infections.

Objective: To assess the effect of transarterial embolization (TAE) for adhesive capsulitis (AC) by evaluating clinical outcomes and changes in inflammation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: Patients who had undergone TAE between August 2020 and August 2023 for AC refractory to conservative treatments without any invasive procedures for more than 3 months, and had undergone baseline and 3-month post-AC follow-up contrast-enhanced MRI evaluations, were included. A suspension mixture of 500 mg imipenem/cilastatin in 10 mL of iodinated contrast agent was used for TAE. MRI results were analyzed to assess periarticular capsule/ligament inflammation. Clinical assessments included pain scores using the numeric rating scale (NRS) and functional scores using the quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (Quick DASH) questionnaire. Results: Twenty-five patients (female:male, 14:11; age, 54.9 ± 7.1 years) were included. Significant reductions in average NRS pain scores as well as improvements in Quick DASH scores and range of motion, including anterior flexion and abduction, were observed at 1, 3, and 6 months after TAE (all P < 0.001). MRI analyses revealed that TAE significantly decreased the grades of axillary recess capsule enhancement, rotator interval (RI) capsule T2 signal intensity, and RI capsule enhancement (all P ≤ 0.004). Conclusion TAE may be an effective and safe therapeutic approach for AC refractory to conservative treatments, alleviating pain and supporting functional recovery. The observed MRI findings suggest that the effectiveness of TAE for AC may be attributed to the reduction of inflammation and the elimination of angiogenesis.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation under different mechanical parameters in the treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation,and to explore the muscle-relaxing effects of the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation and the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipula-tion in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation under the optimal mechanical parameters.Methods Using a three-factor,three-level orthogonal test method,27 LDH patients included in this study were randomly divided into 9 parameter groups,with 3 patients in each group,and were treated with different parameters of the stereotactic angled wrench method.3 factors were set up for the pressing force,the number of times,and the treatment interval,and each factor consisted of 3 levels,i.e.,pressing force:300～400 N,400～500 N,and 500～600 N;the number of times pressed 3 levels were set up:6 times,9 times,12 times;3 levels of treatment interval:1 day interval,2 days interval,3 days interval.After screening the optimal mechanical parameters through VAS,ODI and FDD evaluation indexes,94 patients were included and randomly divided into two groups;the treatment group was stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation under the configuration of optimal mechanical parameters,and the control group was the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipulation,and the changes of patients'VAS and ODI scores as well as the thickness of multifidus muscle and cross-sectional area before and after treatment were observed in the treatment of the two groups of patients.Through the comparison of lumbar multifidus muscle between healthy volunteers and patients with lumbar keyboard herniation,the characteristics of lumbar disc herniation multifidus muscle were clarified.The correlation between each observation index and parameter was analyzed by the statistical analysis software SPSS 26.0 to derive the optimal parameters for manipulative treatment.Results Orthogonal test analysis yielded that the order of influence on the efficacy was pressing force>treatment interval>pressing times,and the pressure interval with the best efficacy was:500～600 N,the number of times was 12 times,and the Treatment internal of 2 days.The degree of degeneration of lumbar multifidus muscle in patients with lumbar disc herniation was more obvious compared with that of healthy volunteers,and the difference was stati stically signifi-cant(P<0.05).Observed in both groups of patients with lumbar disc herniation after 6 weeks of treatment time,the VAS and ODI scores of both groups decreased significantly after treatment compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),with greater improvement in the treatment group.The results of the multifidus muscle showed that after treatment,the treatment group could significantly increase the resting thickness,contraction thickness,contraction rate and cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle had significant changes(P<0.05),in which the contraction thickness,contraction rate before and after the treatment changes were more significant than the control group.Conclusions The stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation is effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation,in which the manipulation parameter pressure of 500～600 N,the number of presses 12 times,and the treatment interval of 2 days once for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation has better analgesia and improves the dysfunction effect.Compared with the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipulation,the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation is better in improving the pain symptoms and dysfunction of patients with lumbar disc hernia-tion,as well as the resting thickness of the multifidus muscle,the contraction thickness,the contraction rate of change,and the cross-sectional area.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Aim To examine the pathogenesis of disul-fide death gene in vascular dementia(VD)by bioin-formatics analysis of disulfide death differentially ex-pressed genes(DEGs)combined with experimental verification.Methods The death DEGs of disulfide were screened and their correlation was analyzed.The VD patients data in the data set were analyzed by clus-tering and typing and gene set variation.The clustering risk of DEGs was tested with a nomogram model,and the optimal learning model was predicted.After the es-tablishment of VD rat model,water maze test,HE stai-ning and RT-qPCR detection were performed to verify the results of health information.Results Four DEGs including SLC7A11 were obtained,which had antago-nistic or synergistic interaction with each other.The genetic data could be divided into two subtypes with significant differences.After typing,VD disulfide DEGs were mainly concentrated in GnRH signaling pathways.The accuracy of the nomogram prediction model was high.Generalized linear was the best ma-chine learning model.Compared with the sham opera-tion group,the escape latency of rats in the model group was prolonged,the number of crossing platforms decreased,the relative mRNA expression levels of Slc3a2 and Slc7a11 decreased,and LRPPRC in-creased.Conclusions SLC7A11 and other disulfide death DEGs and its related GnRH signaling pathway may be an important part of the pathogenesis of VD di-sulfide death.SLC3A2,LRPPRC and SLC7A11 can be used as characteristic genes in the regulation of VD by disulfide death,which may affect VD progression through the regulation of disulfide death.
