Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of staged reconstruction with anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) for wrist-forearm soft tissue defects of electrical burns.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted on 10 patients who had wrist-forearm soft tissue defects after electrical burns and were admitted in the Department of Burns, Zhengzhou First People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. The patients were 6 males and 4 females, aged 8 to 64 years. All the patients were third-and-fourth degree electrical burns. Debridement was performed to remove the necrotic tissues around the wound in stage I surgery. Area of the wound after debridement ranged from 15 cm×11 cm to 31 cm×20 cm. According to the condition of wrist-forearm injury, the wounds with relatively mild injury were retained. Free ALTF was used to cover the wound surface. Size of the flaps ranged from 16 cm×12 cm to 32 cm×21 cm. The descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery and the accompanying veins carried by the flap were anastomosed end-to-end with the radial artery and vein or ulnar artery and vein in the recipient site, respectively. Conditions of other vessels were explored. The great saphenous veins in a length of 10-18 cm was used to bridge the occluded arteries. The donor sites were covered by medium thick skin grafts from trunk. After survival of the flap, stage Ⅱ surgery was carried out to debride the wound temporarily retained in stage I surgery and to thin the flap, then had all the wound covered with the thinned flap. Follow-ups were conducted at outpatient clinic, and via telephone and WeChat interviews. The limb salvage, flap survival, vascular compromise and other complications, as well as the donor site healing were observed. The wound coverage rate of the thinned flap. The appearance of flap, donor site scar hyperplasia, the patient satisfaction with the shape and function of the donor site at 6 months after the stage Ⅱ surgery were evaluated. Likert scale was employed to evaluate the patient satisfaction. The Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) were used to evaluate the upper limb function in daily life of the patients.Results:The limb salvages in the 10 patients were all successful, and the flaps survived without any postoperative event of vascular compromise or other complication. One patient had mild cyanosis at the edges of flap after surgery and regressed at 7 days later. One flap had poor blood circulation and partial necrosis. The thinned flaps covered the wound completely after the stage-Ⅱ flap thinning surgery. The postoperative follow-up period was 6.0-7.0 months. All skin grafts in the donor sites survived well. The thinned flaps of stage Ⅱ surgery achieved 100% in wound coverage rate. At 6 months after surgery, the colour and texture of the flaps were about the same as those of the normal skin of the upper limb. There were linear scars in both of donor and recipient sites. Four patients were satisfactory to the postoperative appearance and function of the donor site and 6 patients were very satisfactory. MHQ scores were 49-82 (mean, 74) points; DASH scores were 27-45 (mean, 32) points.Conclusion:Reconstruction of the wounds in wrist-forearm soft tissue defects of electrical burns with ALTF in staged surgery, can improve the function and aesthetics of the wrist-forearm. It is a good method.

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.

BACKGROUND:In addition to apoptosis,recent studies have discovered novel forms of programmed cell death in periprosthetic osteolysis,which is involved in regulating local chronic inflammation and the outcome of osteoblast and osteoclast under pathological conditions.This has an important value for the treatment and prognosis of periprosthetic osteolysis. OBJECTIVE:To provide new ideas and strategies for the prevention and treatment of periprosthetic osteolysis by summarizing studies on the novel forms of programmed cell death. METHODS:The first author used the computer to search the articles published from 2005 to 2022.Chinese search terms"wear particles,periprosthetic osteolysis,programmed cell death,apoptosis,autophagy,pyroptosis,necrotizing apoptosis,iron death"were used to search the databases of CNKI,WanFang and VIP.English search terms"osteolysis,wear debris,wear particles,peri*prosthetic osteolysis,PPOL,aseptic loosening,autophagy,regulated cell death,programmed cell death,apoptosis,pyroptosis,autophagic cell death,autophagy,necroptosis,ferroptosis"were used for search in PubMed and Web of Science databases.A total of 68 articles were finally included according to the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Inadequate or excessive activation of autophagy can cause cell death,inhibit bone formation,and promote bone resorption,leading to bone metabolism disorders and osteolysis.(2)Recent studies have paid close attention to pyroptosis in periprosthetic osteolysis,where the Nod-like receptor,pyrin containing 3 inflammasome plays an important role in local inflammation.Inhibiting pyroptosis can effectively alleviate osteolysis.(3)In vitro studies have shown that necroptosis can inhibit the formation and function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,affecting the process of osteolysis and destruction.(4)Ferroptosis is the newest form of programmed cell death,which is regulated by complex signaling pathways and mechanisms,but is not yet fully understood.(5)Autophagy,pyroptosis,necroptosis,and ferroptosis play important roles in the development of periprosthetic osteolysis,and their associated signaling pathways and genes require further investigation.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Aim To discuss the mechanism of Lurong Dabu Decoction on cough variant asthma. Methods Guinea pigs were divided into normal group(CON), model group(OVA), Lurong Dabu Decoction high-dose group(HIGH),low-dose group(LOW), and dexamethasone group(DEX)at random. The CVA model was established by smoking plus injection of OVA, aluminum hydroxide solution and nebulized inhalation to stimulate cough. Gguinea pigs were dissected 24 hours after the last challenge to obtain alveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and lung tissues. Immunoadsorption(ELISA)method was applied to detect the types of inflammatory cells and the content of inflammatory cytokines in BALF; HE and Masson staining of the middle lobe of the left lung were used to observe the pathological changes in lung tissues; immunohistochemical staining was used to observe TLR4 and WNT-5A protein expression and distribution of lung tissues; the protein extracted from the upper lobe of the left lung was used to measure the level of TLR4 and WNT-5A protein in lung tissues by Western blot; immunofluorescence was employed to measure the fluorescence intensity of TLR4 and WNT-5A in lung tissues; flow cytometry was used to detect IL-4 and IFN-γ in guinea pig lung tissues. Results Lurong Dabu Decoction could improve guinea pig airway inflammation, inhibit collagen fiber deposition, reduce the content of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in BALF, and inhibit the protein expression of TLR4 and WNT-5A in lung tissues and increase IFN-γ levels in lung tissues while decreasing IL-4 levels. Conclusion Lurong Dabu Decoction may inhibit the occurrence of CVA through TLR4/WNT-5A signaling pathway.

Methods The model of heart failure after myocardial infarction was established by left coronary artery liga-tion in rats. Two weeks after modeling, all rats were randomly divided into model group, LGZGD group, and captopril group. Meanwhile sham operation group was set up. The rats were given continuous intragastric administration with drug or distilled water for 28 days, once a day. The behavioral signs of rats in each group were observed. The cardiac function of rats in each group was examined by echocardiography. Serum BNP and NT-ProBNP content were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay; The changes of myocardial his-topathological and collagen fibers in rats were detected using sirius staining. The contents of oxidative stress index including ROS, SOD in myocardial tissue of rats in each group were observed by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe and Enzyme-linked immunoassay. The ultra-structure of mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Expressions of apoptotic proteins ( mitochondrial CytC, cytoplasmic CytC) were detec- ted by Western blot. Expression of proteins related to the Nrf2/BNIP3 pathway were examined by immunoflu-orescence and Western blot. Results LGZGD could significantly improve the cardiac function of rats, reduce the contents of BNP and NT-ProBNP, inhibit the excessive deposition of collagen in myocardial interstiti-um, reduce ROS, increase the content of SOD, improve mitochondrial structure damage, up-regulate the expression of Nrf2 and nuclear translocation, and reduce the expression of BNIP3. Conclusions LGZGD can inhibit the ventricular remodeling and prevent the occurrence of heart failure after myocardial infarction. Its pharmacological effects are mainly related to regulating the Nrf2/BNIP3 pathway, activating Nrf2, promoting its nuclear transfer, and further down-regulating BNIP3 , protecting mitochondrial function, and reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
