The high-frequency occurrence of the imaging keyword "magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)" underscores its pivotal role in diagnosing disc displacement. Chinese institutions (Sichuan University, Peking University) ranked second globally in research output; however, interdisciplinary international collaboration remained limited, with multiple-country publications (MCP) accounting for only 13.0%. Conclusions:TMD research demonstrates interdisciplinary integration, highlighting the need for future emphasis on Asian population studies and innovative diagnostic/therapeutic technologies.

Objective:To explore the degree of change in anteversion angle and related risk factors after intramedullary nail fixation of intertrochanteric femur fracture in the elderly.Methods:The data of 256 elderly patients who underwent intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fractures of the femur at Tianjin Hospital of Tianjin University from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected, including 114 males and 142 females, with an age of 75.40±10.69 years (range, 65-94 years). The degree of change in the anteversion angle of the affected hip before and after the surgery was measured by CT scan of the hip, the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) was plotted, the area under the ROC curve was analyzed, and the optimal degree of grouping was determined by calculating the Youden Index, then all the patients were divided into two groups. The correlation between various risk factors (age, sex, type of internal fixation, fracture AO type, quality of reduction, fracture medial cortical defect or not, cusp distance) and the change of anterior tilt angle was screened by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results:All 256 patients were followed up for 20.7±2.1 months (range, 18-23 months). Anteversion on the healthy side was 12.68°±5.10° (range, 5°-28°); postoperative anteversion on the affected side was 15.04°±7.67° (range, 9°-36°). By comparing the difference in the anterior tilt angle between the affected side and the healthy side, it was found that the anterior tilt angle of 67 patients was completely restored to the healthy side level after the operation. The anteversion angle was enlarged in 131 cases, of which the mildly increased angle (1°-9°) was found in 106 cases, moderately increased (10°-15°) was found in 17 cases, and significantly increased (>15°) was found in 8 cases; 58 patients showed anteversion angle reduction, of which 45 cases were mildly reduced (1°-9°), 13 cases were moderately reduced (10°-14°). The area under the ROC curve for the patient's anteversion angle and its 95% CI were 0.714(0.559, 0.867), and the maximum value of its Youden Index was 0.221, which corresponded to the optimal critical angle of 4°. There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, reduction quality or fracture AO classification between the group with an anteversion angle>4° and the group with an anteversion angle≤4° ( P>0.05). The types of internal fixation, medial cortical defect and insufficient tip apex distance (TAD) were included in the binary variable logistic regression analysis. The results showed that single-nail internal fixation [ OR=0.412, 95% CI(0.244, 0.695), P=0.007], medial cortical defect [ OR=0.471, 95% CI(0.279, 0.793), P=0.009] and TAD>25 mm [ OR=0.367, 95% CI(0.207, 0.651), P=0.003] are independent risk factors for changes in anteversion angle after intramedullary nail fixation of intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly. Conclusion:Single-nail internal fixation, medial cortical defect and TAD >25 mm are independent risk factors for the change of anteversion angle after intramedullary nail internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

Successful embryo implantation requires high-quality embryos and endometrium with high receptivity. However, there is no universally recognized authoritative technique for evaluating endometrial receptivity (ER) at present. In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the assessment of ER has achieved remarkable progress. In ultrasound image analysis, AI has improved the accuracy of endometrial segmentation and measurement through deep learning technology, and can combine clinical data for pregnancy outcome prediction. In histological analysis, AI algorithms can quickly and accurately identify histological features of the endometrium and analyze the ratio of epithelial and stromal cells. In genomic diagnosis, AI analyzes endometrial gene expression through machine learning methods to provide scientific basis for personalized embryo transfer. Although AI shows great potential in the assessment of ER, its application still faces challenges such as data standardization and algorithm generalization ability. In the future, through multi-center data sharing and algorithm optimization, AI is expected to play a greater role in assisted reproductive technology. This article reviews the application of AI in ER assessment, summarizes the latest research progress, and provides references for further research.

This study investigated the expression of the soluble nontoxic mutant CRM197 of diphtheria toxin,to prepare a safe and effective recombinant CRM197 protein.Codon-optimized CRM197 gene sequences were cloned into the pCold Ⅱ and pET-28a(+)prokaryotic expression vectors.The successfully cloned recombinant plasmids were screened and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)competent cells.After induction of expression,the protein expression type was determined through SDS-PAGE analysis.The conditions for expression of the solublerecombinant protein were then optimized.The recombinant CRM197 protein was purified through two rounds of Ni-NTA affinity chromatography.The purified protein was used to immunize mice,and antibody levels in the se-rum were measured with ELISA.The codon adaptation index(CAI)of the optimized sequence increased from 0.72 to 0.93.The recom-binant plasmids pET-28a(+)-CRM197 and pCold Ⅱ-CRM197 were successfully constructed,as confirmed through colony PCR and double digestion.Expression analysis revealed that pET-28a(+)-CRM197 was expressed primarily as inclusion bodies,whereas pColdⅡ-CRM197 was expressed predominantly in soluble form.The conditions for soluble protein expression via pCold Ⅱ-CRM197 were optimized.When the inoculum was 3%and the IPTG concentration was 0.4 mmol/L,induction at 20 ℃ for 24 h significantly increased the expression of the soluble target protein.The pCold Ⅱ-CRM197 recombinant protein was purified from the supernatant with Ni-NTA affinity chromatography,thus resulting in a target protein with a purity greater than 98%.ELISA after three rounds of immuniza-tion indicated that the levels of IgG,IgM,IgG1,and IgG2a antibodies in the serum in immunized mice were significantly higher than those in the control group.In summary,the CRM197 recombinant protein was successfully prepared with the pCold Ⅱvector and exhib-ited high soluble expression,high purity,and favorable immunogenicity.
