Nipah virus (NiV) and related viruses form a distinct henipavirus genus within the Paramyxoviridae family. NiV continues to spillover into the humans causing deadly outbreaks with increasing human-bat interaction. NiV encodes the large protein (L) and phosphoprotein (P) to form the viral RNA polymerase machinery. Their sequences show limited homologies to those of non-henipavirus paramyxoviruses. We report two cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the Nipah virus (NiV) polymerase L-P complex, expressed and purified in either its full-length or truncated form. The structures resolve the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and polyribonucleotidyl transferase (PRNTase) domains of the L protein, as well as a tetrameric P protein bundle bound to the L-RdRp domain. L-protein C-terminal regions are unresolved, indicating flexibility. Two PRNTase domain zinc-binding sites, conserved in most Mononegavirales, are confirmed essential for NiV polymerase activity. The structures further reveal anchoring of the P protein bundle and P protein X domain (XD) linkers on L, via an interaction pattern distinct among Paramyxoviridae. These interactions facilitate binding of a P protein XD linker in the nucleotide entry channel and distinct positioning of other XD linkers. We show that the disruption of the L-P interactions reduces NiV polymerase activity. The reported structures should facilitate rational antiviral-drug discovery and provide a guide for the functional study of NiV polymerase.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of compound cantharidis capsule combined with pemetrexed and platinum-based drugs in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced lungadenocarcinoma.Methods A total of 80 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma were retro-spectively selected as the study subjects.According to the treatment regimen,they were divided into chemotherapy group(treated with pemetrexed and platinum-based drugs)and traditional Chinese med-icine combined with chemotherapy group(treated with compound cantharidis capsule combined with-pemetrexed and platinum-based drugs),with 40 cases in each group.The short-term efficacy,serum tumor marker[carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),carbohydrate antigen 72-4(CA72-4),carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125)]levels,and the incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups.The patients were followed up,and the progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)of the two groups were recorded.Results The objective response rate(ORR)and disease control rate(DCR)in the traditional Chinese medicine combined with chemotherapy group were higher than those in the chemotherapy group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).After treatment,the serum CEA,CA72-4 and CA125 levels in both groups were lower than those before treatment,and the levels in the traditional Chinese medicine combined with chemotherapy group were lower than those in the chemotherapy group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of grade 3 to 4 adverse reac-tions between the two groups(P＞0.05).The progression-free survival rate and overall survival rate in the traditional Chinese medicine combined with chemotherapy group were higher than those in the chemotherapy group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compound cantharidis capsule combined with pemetrexed and platinum-based drugs can significantly improve the ORR and DCR,reduce serum tumor marker levels,prolong the survival of patients with ad-vanced lung adenocarcinoma,and has good safety.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of self-management of first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients based on the random forest model, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical staff to improve the self-management of pulmonary tuberculosis patients by providing efficient, high-quality, and individualized interventions.Methods:A cross-sectional study was used to select pulmonary tuberculosis patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the Fourth People′s Hospital of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from December 2023 to February 2024 by using the convenience sampling method as the study subjects. General information questionnaire, Chronic Disease Patients′ Self-health Management Ability Assessment Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and a tuberculosis prevention and treatment knowledge questionnaire were used to conduct the survey, and Spearman′s correlation was used to analyze the correlation between variables, and multivariate linear regression and a random forest model were used to analyze the influencing factors of self-management.Results:A total of 204 first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients, 111 males and 93 females, 64 patients aged 18-44 years, 59 patients aged 45-59 years, and 81 patients ≥60 years were finally investigated. The total self-management score of tuberculosis patients was 162.00 (148.00, 176.75), and the total self-management score was positively correlated with the total perceived social support score, family support, friend support, and other support, respectively ( r values were 0.307-0.400, all P<0.01), negatively correlated with the anxiety and depression scores, respectively ( r=-0.195, -0.313, both P<0.01), and positively correlated with the total score of knowledge of tuberculosis control ( r=0.257, P<0.01); the results of multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that literacy, family support, other support, anxiety, and knowledge of tuberculosis control were the influencing factors of self-management ability ( t values were -2.89-2.98, all P<0.05), which explained a total of 23.1% of the total variance; and the random forest model ranked the importance of the influencing factors in the order of high to low were other support, family support, knowledge of tuberculosis control, literacy, and anxiety. Conclusions:The self-management of first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients is at an intermediate level, In order to improve the self-management ability of first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients, clinical personnel should establish a "patient-centered" self-management education concept, pay attention to the construction of their social support system, provide adequate, continuous, individualized knowledge education and information support, promote their psychological health, and reduce their negative emotions.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.
