ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and radiographic outcomes of manipulative reduction combined with small splint fixation in the treatment of distal radius fractures. MethodsThe clinical data of 1051 patients with distal radius fractures were retrospectively collected from five hospitals included in the Jiangsu Diagnosis and Treatment Data Platform for Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM） Dominant Diseases. Propensity score matching at a 1∶4 ratio was applied， resulting in 580 cases selected for final analysis， which comprised 448 patients in the TCM group（manipulative reduction plus small splint fixation） and 132 in the surgical treatment group（open reduction and internal fixation）. Each group was further stratified into type A， B， and C subgroups based on AO fracture classification. Radiographic indicators including palmar tilt， radial inclination， and radial height were compared between groups before treatment and 1 day， 1 week， and 4-6 weeks after treatment， and pain visual analog scale（VAS） scores before treatment and 1 week and 4-6 weeks after treatment were also compared. Wrist joint function was assessed 12 weeks after treatment， using the Dienst wrist function score and the Gartland and Werley（G-W） wrist function score. Additionally， the radiographic indicators at different timepoints and the 12-week wrist function levels were compared between groups across different fracture types. ResultsNo statistically significant difference was observed in radiographic indicators and VAS scores at all timepoints before and after treatment， as well as wrist joint function grades assessed by the Dienst score and the G-W score at 12 weeks after treatment （P＞0.05）. Compared to those before treatment， both groups showed increased palmar tilt， radial inclination， and radial height 1 week and 4-6 weeks after treatment， and decreased VAS scores （P＜0.05）. Compared to those 1 week after treatment， both groups showed a decrease in palmar tilt， an increase in radial inclination and radial height， and a reduction in VAS score 4-6 weeks after treatment（P＜0.05）. In type A and B subgroups， the surgical treatment group had a higher radial inclination than the TCM group 4-6 weeks after treatment， while in the type C subgroup， a higher radial height was shown in the surgical treatment group than in the TCM group 4-6 weeks after treatment（P＜0.05）. In type C subgroup， there was significant difference between groups in the wrist joint function by G-W scores 12 weeks after treatment（P＜0.05）. ConclusionManipulative reduction combined with small splint fixation can maintain fracture alignment and alleviate pain in treating distal radius fractures， which achieves therapeutic outcomes comparable to surgical treatment. It is particularly suitable for type A and B fractures and can be considered an effective treatment option for distal radius fractures.

ObjectiveTo construct an automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination suitable for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） clinical scenarios， and to validate its accuracy and efficiency in TCM manipulative reduction settings. MethodsData on anteroposterior （AP） and lateral X-rays of distal radius fractures were collected from patients admitted to 18 TCM/ integrated TCM and western medicine hospitals in Jiangsu province between September 1st， 2023， and September 1st， 2024， via the Jiangsu Diagnosis and Treatment Big Data Platform for TCM Dominant Diseases. A medical image segmentation framework based on multi-scale feature fusion and edge-awareness was employed， combined with anatomical knowledge specific to TCM orthopedics， to optimize the feature extraction strategy of an artificial intelligence （AI） model. This framework enabled automatic segmentation of fracture regions and measurement of distal radius palmar tilt and radial inclination. The accuracy of the AI model in measuring radial inclination and volar tilt was validated， and the measurement time and average time gain rate of the AI model were compared to those of manual measurement. ResultsA total of 15,444 AP and lateral X-ray images of distal radius fractures were collected， and were divided into a training set （11,144 images， 5066 AP and 6078 lateral）， a validation set （3700 images， 1840 AP and 1860 lateral）， and an independent test set （600 images， 300 AP and 300 lateral） after preprocessing. In the measurement of 300 AP X-rays in the independent test set for radial inclination， when the degree error between AI measurement and manual measurement was ＜3° and ＜5°， AI measurement accuracy was 83% and 93%， respectively. In 300 lateral X-rays in the test set for palmar tilt， when AI measurements had an error of ＜3° and ＜5° compared to manual measurements， corresponding accuracy rate was 78% and 90%， respectively. For 50 X-ray images， AI measurement time was （1.37±0.05） min for radial inclination while manual measurement time was （22.57±2.52） min （P＜0.001）； in terms of palmar tilt， the AI measurement time was （1.33±0.14） min， shorter than （23.70±2.80） min for manual measurement time （P＜0.001）. Average time gain rates for manual and AI measurements were 93.93% and 94.39% respectively. ConclusionAn automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination in distal radius fractures has been established， enabling more accurate and efficient assessment as well as providing a tool to support the quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of TCM manipulative reduction and large-sample clinical research.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of changes in pain-anxiety-depression-fatigue symptom clusters and their possible associated factors in adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)during early chemotherapy.Methods A prospective longitudinal study was conducted from Nov 2019 to Oct 2021,enrolling newly diagnosed adolescent ALL patients from 5 tertiary or pediatric specialty hospitals in Shanghai,Zhejiang Province,Sichuan Province,Anhui Province and Guangdong Province.Patient-reported pain,anxiety,depression,and fatigue were collected at five time points within the first nine weeks of chemotherapy using the PROMIS Pediatric-25 instrument.Latent profile analysis(LPA)and latent transition analysis(LTA)were applied to explore the latent classes of symptom clusters,their transition probabilities over time,and possible risk or protective factors associated with class membership.Results A total of 134 ALL cases were enrolled,and symptom clusters at all the 5 time points(T1-T5)were consistently classified into three groups of mild,moderate and severe symptoms.The severe symptoms group accounted for the largest proportion at each time point(54.5%,59.7%,66.4%,49.3%,and 47.0%,respectively),while the mild and moderate symptoms groups showed an initial decline followed by an increase.Among participants,40.2%maintained the same symptom status,and 77.4%experienced at least one episode of severe symptom status during the trajectory.Religious affiliation(T5)and family monthly income>5 000 Yuan(T2,T4 and T5)served as protective factors against severe symptoms.Higher baseline fatigue(T1)was associated with membership in the severe symptoms group at subsequent time points.Conclusion Pain-anxiety-depression-fatigue symptoms in adolescents with ALL during early chemotherapy can be categorized into mild,moderate and severe symptoms with dynamic transitions over time.Higher baseline fatigue was associated with increased risk of severe symptoms,whereas higher family income and religious affiliation appeared protective effects.

Porcine deltacoronavirus(PDCoV)is the main pathogen of porcine deltacoronavirus dis-ease.After infection,pigsmanifest a series of main symptoms,such as persistent vomiting,watery diarrhea and severe dehydration.Pigs at almost all growth stages are likely to be infected with the virus,especially suckling piglets are much sensitive to the virus.Once PDCoV infects the host,it u-sually causes significant immunosuppression.In recent years,studies on the immunosuppressive mechanism of PDCoV have gradually attracted widespread attention.The results showed that mul-tiple proteins of PDCoV were involved in the regulation of host innate immunity,revealing the mechanism of these proteins in regulating host innate immunity.In this paper,the interaction mechanism between PDCoV protein and host innate immunity were rsummarized,which will pro-vide a theoretical basis for further understanding the pathogenesis of PDCoV and effective preven-tion and control of porcine delta coronavirus disease.

Objective:To observe the effects of auricular point compression and exercise therapy on glycolipid metabolism,oxidative stress and sleep quality in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients with poor glycemic control.Methods:This study was a single-center randomized controlled study,86 T2DM patients with poor glycemic control who were treated in our hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were divided into control group(received conventional treatment,n=43)and observation group(received auricular point compression and exercise therapy,n=43)by using the random number table method.The clinical efficacy,blood lipid indexes,blood glucose indexes,oxidative stress indexes and sleep quality were compared between the two groups.Results:The total clinical effective rate,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and Glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)of the observation group after treatment were higher than those of the control group,and the fasting blood glucose(FBG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance(HOMA-IR),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),triglycerides(TG),reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA)and Pittsburgh sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Auricular point compression and exercise therapy can regulate glycolipid metabolism in T2DM patients with poor glycemic control,improve the degree of oxidative stress and sleep quality.

Aim To investigate the effect of high-fat diet on the tight junction function injury of Sertoli cells through the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway in mice and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were fed with high-fat or normal diet for five months.The body and gonadal organ weight of mice were measured,and their indices were calculated.The sperm concentration,the sperm viabili-ty,the testicular histomorphology and the expression levels of tight junction proteins ZO-1,Occludin and Claudin-11 were measured.TM4 cells were treated with palmitic acid(PA)for 24 h.Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method.Then,TM4 cells were di-vided into different groups treated with PA(0,50,100,200 and 300 μmnol·L-1),and the expression lev-els of tight junction proteins ZO-1,Occludin and Clau-din-11 were detected by Western blot.The tight junc-tion permeability of TM4 cells were detected by transepithelial electrical resistance(TEER)and FITC-dextran.The expression levels of mRNA and proteins for the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway-related factors were de-tected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results The results from animal experiments showed that high-fat diet increased body weight and seminal vesicle weight of mice,and decreased testicular index,epididymal in-dex,sperm concentration and sperm motility of mice.High-fat diet also caused testicular tissue structure damage and down-regulated the expression levels of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin,without af-fecting the expression of Claudin-11.In vitro,PA sig-nificantly down-regulated the expression levels of ZO-1,Occludin and Claudin-11 in TM4 cells,increased the cell permeability,as well as up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3/NF-κB signa-ling pathway-related factors in TM4 cells.Conclusions High-fat diet can impair the function of tight junction of testicualr Sertoli cells,and the machanism may be related to the activation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway,resulting in Sertoli cell inflammation in mice.

Objective:To compare the benefits and prognostic risks of unilateral lobectomy (with or without isthmusectomy) or total (or near-total) thyroidectomy for primary foci of unilateral papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients with ipsilateral lateral cervical lymph node metastasis (LLNM) , so as to find out the optimal surgery for these patients.Methods:A total of 505 unilateral PTC patients with ipsilateral LLNM who underwent initial surgical treatment at the Thyroid Surgery Department of Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from Feb. 2012 to Jan. 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into unilateral lobectomy group ( n=314) and total thyroidectomy group ( n=191) according to the extent of resection of primary foci. Then 177 pairs of cases were screened out after eliminating the potential confounding bias between the two groups by using propensity score matching (PSM) , analyzing the differences in clinical outcomes such as recurrence-free survival (RFS) , overall survival (OS) , hospitalization costs, and postoperative complications between the two groups. Results:After PSM, the postoperative complication rate was 37.3% ( n=66) in the total thyroidectomy group and 3.4% ( n=6) in the unilateral lobectomy group. The complication was mainly characterized by temporary hypoparathyroidism (HP) . Although the difference in length of hospitalization between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P=0.792) , patients in the unilateral lobectomy group used less surgical time ( P<0.001) , had lower hospitalization and surgical costs ( P<0.0001) , and took a relatively smaller dose of levothyroxine (L-T4) one month after the operation ( P<0.0001) , as compared with the total thyroidectomy group. Univariate analysis showed that the number of LLNM total lymph node metastasis (LNM) rate, LLNM rate, and T stage were significant risk factors for relapse. Multi-factor regression analysis indicated that T-staging was a risk factor for recurrence. After a median follow-up of 60 (3-138) months, 19 patients (10.7%) in the unilateral lobectomy group and 11 patients (6.2%) in the total thyroidectomy group recurred, with no statistical difference between the two groups ( P=0.133) . The OS curve displayed no significant difference between the unilateral lobectomy and total thyroidectomy groups ( P=0.740) . Conclusion:For unilateral PTC patients with ipsilateral LLNM without other high-risk features, unilateral lobectomy could be a better option.

Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of barriers to going out among elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to provide a reference for implementing targeted preventive measures.Methods:Elderly COPD patients from the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected between January and May 2024 by convenience sampling. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire, Scale on Barriers to Going Out for the Elderly, Perceived Isolation Scale and COPD Assessment Test (CAT).Results:A total of 270 questionnaires were distributed, with 250 valid responses, the effective response rate was 92.6%. Among the 250 elderly COPD patients, there were 124 males and 126 females, with age distributions: 116 patients aged 60-69 years, 94 aged 70-79 years, and 40 aged ≥80 years. The total score for Scale on Barriers to Going Out for the Elderly was (20.01 ± 4.09). The score on barriers to going out in elderly COPD patients were positively correlated with the Perceived Isolation Scale and CAT scores ( r = 0.456 and 0.625, both P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, oxygen therapy, exercise habits,Perceived Isolation Scale, and CAT score classification were the main influencing factors for barriers to going out ( t values were -2.85 to 8.93, all P<0.05), explaining 63.0% of the total variance. Conclusions:The level of barriers to going out in elderly COPD patients is moderate-to-high level. Healthcare professionals should emphasize the assessment of barriers to going out, closely monitor high-risk groups, and develop and implement interventions to prevent such barriers.
