BACKGROUND:Black phosphorus has a high degree of homology with human bone,so it has been extensively studied in the field of bone tissue engineering in recent years.Since 2014,two-dimensional black phosphorus materials have garned significant attention in the field of biomedicine due to their excellent exceptional physical,chemical,and biological properties. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the advancements made in black phosphorus-based nanomaterials for bone tissue engineering,focus on the synthesis methods,osteogenic characteristics,and applications in biomaterials pertaining to two-dimensional black phosphorus nanomaterials. METHODS:Chinese and English key words were"black phosphorus,bone tissue engineering,bone defect,bone regeneration,osteogenesis."Relevant articles in PubMed and CNKI databases from January 2014 to December 2023 were searched.After exclusion and screening,96 articles were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Black phosphorus nanomaterials play an important role in bone tissue engineering due to their good biocompatibility,biodegradability,photothermal action,antibacterial ability,drug loading performance,and special osteogenic effect,and are ideal candidate materials for promoting bone regeneration.The preparation of black phosphorus nanomaterials is mainly a top-down top-layer stripping method.The main principle is to weaken the van der Waals force between the black phosphorus layers by physical or chemical means to obtain a single or less layer of phosphanse,that is,black phosphorus nanosheets or quantum dots.Black phosphate-based nanocomposites are mainly divided into hydrogels,3D printing scaffolds,composite scaffolds,electrospinning,bionic periosteum,microspheres,and bionic coatings.The research of nano-black phosphorus in bone tissue engineering is in its infancy,and still faces many challenges:the behavior of black phosphorus in vivo and the interaction mechanism with various biomolecules need to be further studied.The long-term potential toxicity of black phosphorus is unknown.The manufacturing process for black phosphorus is difficult to control.Therefore,how to develop uniform size,safe,reliable,and efficient nano black phosphorus and transform it into clinical application requires interdisciplinary research on modern biomedical technology,physicochemical technology,and precision manufacturing technology.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of the impaction of posterior wall on the prognosis following open reduction and internal fixation for fractures of acetabular posterior wall.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data from the 83 patients with fracture of acetabular posterior wall who had been consecutively treated by open reduction and internal fixation at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on involvement of posterior wall impaction. In the impaction group of 33 cases, there were 26 males and 7 females with an age of (47.4±11.6) years; in the non-impaction group of 50 cases, there were 43 males and 7 females with an age of (41.3±12.0) years. The quality of postoperative fracture reduction, the function of the affected hip at the last follow-up, and the complication rate during follow-up were compared between the 2 groups. Multifactorial binary logistic regression and age subgroups were used to analyze the effects of posterior wall impaction on functional outcomes.Results:The age, rate of associated injuries in other body parts, and rate of posterior wall comminution in the impaction group were significantly higher than those in the non-impaction group ( P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in other general data of patients between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (44.5±13.3) months after surgery. The rate of anatomical reduction in the non-impaction group (96.0%, 48/50) was significantly higher than that in the impaction group (57.6%, 19/33) ( P<0.05), and the good and excellent rate by the modified Merle d'Aubigné & Postel scale at the last follow-up in the non-impaction group (84.0%, 42/50) was significantly higher than that in the impaction group (51.5%, 17/33) ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). After adjusting for age and gender, the difference in hip function was still significantly different between the 2 groups ( OR=0.23, 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.79, P=0.020). The effect of posterior wall impaction on functional outcomes was statistically significant in patients aged ≥50 years ( P=0.008), whereas the difference was not statistically significant in patients aged <50 years ( P=0.194). Conclusions:Compared with non-impaction ones, acetabular fractures of posterior wall impaction tend to lead to poorer quality of reduction, which in turn affects the postoperative recovery of hip joint function. The impact of impaction fractures on functional recovery is more significant in patients aged 50 years and above.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of esketamine combined with propofol for colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) in pediatric patients with autism.Methods:Sixty pediatric patients with autism of both sexes, aged 3-12 yr, weighing 15-45 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, who underwent painless transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) from October 2022 to August 2023, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) by a random number table method: normal saline + propofol group (group NP) and esketamine + propofol group (group EP). In group NP, normal saline 10 ml was intravenously injected, and 30 s later propofol 2.0 mg/kg was given. In group EP, esketamine 0.3 mg/kg (diluted to 10 ml in normal saline) was intravenously injected, and 30 s later propofol 2.0 mg/kg was given. TET was performed when the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score ≤2. Propofol 0.5-1.0 mg/kg was added if the sedation depth was not enough, and the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score was maintained ≤2 until the end of surgery. The degree of body movement during TET was observed and recorded. The injection pain during induction, total consumption of propofol, operation time, spontaneous emergence time, and completion of operation were recorded. Adverse reactions such as respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia, and postoperative agitation were recorded during operation and in the emergence period. Results:Compared with group NP, the degree of intraoperative body movement was significantly lighter, the total consumption of propofol and incidence of injection pain and intraoperative hypotension were significantly lower, and no significant change was found in the spontaneous emergence time and incidence of adverse reactions during recovery in group EP ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Esketamine (0.3 mg/kg) combined with propofol (2.0 mg/kg) can be safely and effectively used for colonic TET in pediatric patients with autism, and esketamine does not increase the risk of adverse reactions during resuscitation in a resuscitation strategy without early awakening.

Objective:To explore the correlation between hip muscle factors measured with CT imaging and recovery of independent mobility within 1 year after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of 680 elderly patients with hip fractures admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital of Capital Medical University from November 2018 to December 2019. The patients were assigned to dependent group and assistant group according to whether they regained pre-injury independent mobility within 1 year after surgery. Gender, age, body mass index, personal history, living habits, past diseases, Charlson comorbidity index, laboratory test indicators, fracture types, anesthesia types, surgical methods, rehabilitation training, time from injury to surgery, and hip muscle parameters in both groups were recorded. OsiriX software was employed in the measurement of the hip muscles to measure the muscle area and density of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius/minimus on CT images, and the average values were calculated as hip muscle area and density. Then the variables of hip muscle area and density were converted seperately to gender-normalized Z-scores, and were divided into high-area group ( Z≥0) and low-area group ( Z<0), and high-density group ( Z≥0) and low-density group ( Z<0) respectively. Observable variables were primarily analyzed using univariate analysis between the independent group and assistant group. Those variables with statistically significant differences in the univariate analysis or would potentially affect mobility recovery according to previous researches although there were no statistical significance were included in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Three Logistic regression models were designed (Model 1 uncorrected, Model 2 corrected for gender, age and body mass index, Model 3 corrected for variables in Model 2 and other variables included after above-mentioned analysis) to analyze whether muscle parameters were risk factors for recovery of independent mobility. Additionally, generalized estimating equations were used for repeated measurement to analyze the correlation between hip muscle area and recovery of independent mobility after surgery. Results:Compared to the assistant group, the independent group were younger in age, with lower rate of living alone, being housebound, cognitive impairment, and Charlson comorbidity index, lower level of hemoglobin and albumin, higher rate of femoral neck fractures, lower rate of internal fixation, shorter time from injury to surgery, larger hip muscle area, and higher hip muscle density ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, in the fully corrected Model 3, only hip muscle area remained significantly correlated with recovery of independent mobility ( P<0.05), while no significant difference was found between the high-density group and low-density group ( P>0.05). In the repeated measurement, patients in the high-area group were 1.84 times more likely to restore independent mobility than those in the low-area group ( OR=1.84, 95% CI 1.33, 2.53, P<0.01). Conclusions:Hip muscle area measured with CT imaging is closely correlated to the recovery of independent mobility within 1 year after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures. Moreover, larger hip muscle area indicates a larger likelihood of recovery of independent mobility.

Objective:The effect of three-dimensional(3D)printed bone-attached guide plate assisted cannulated screw fixation of pelvic fracture is reliable,but extensive soft tissue dissection is still required when installing the guide plate.This study aims to compare the efficacy of posterior pelvic ring fracture fixation with iliosacral screw insertion between the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template and conventional fluoroscopy. Methods:From May,2019 and September 2021,28 patients sustained posterior pelvic ring fractures were randomized into 2 groups:A guide template group,in which the iliosacral screw was inserted for fixation of the posterior pelvic ring fracture with the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template,and a fluoroscopy group,in which the iliosacral screw was inserted under the guidance of conventional fluoroscopy.The operation time,fluoroscopic frequency,intraoperative blood loss,and incision length were recorded for each screw insertion.Fracture reduction was evaluated according to the Matta criteria.The screw position was evaluated according to the modified Gras classification,and the functional outcome was evaluated according to Majeed score.The parameters of both groups were compared,and statistical analysis was performed. Results:All the 28 patients were followed up for 12-24 months.Of them,15 iliosacral screws were inserted in 14 patients in the guide template group,and 14 iliosacral screws were inserted in 14 patients in the fluoroscopy group.The operation time,fluoroscopic frequency,screw deviation,incision length,and blood loss in the guide template group were 20-30(25.8±2.8)min,9-15(12.2±1.9),2-4(2.6±0.7)mm,4-5(4.6±0.5)cm,and 5-10(7.8±1.7)mL,respectively,whereas those in the fluoroscopy group were 30-60(48.1±7.5)min,40-96(64.7±16.3),3-6(4.2±0.9)mm,0.8-1.2(1.0±0.1)cm,and 2-5(3.1±1.3)mL,respectively,and there were statistical significance(all P<0.001).Fracture reduction was evaluated according to the Matta criteria,and all the patients reached excellence and good(P=0.584)in the 2 groups.According to modified Gras classification,there were 12 Grade Ⅰ screws,3 Grade Ⅱ screws,and 0 Grade Ⅲ screws in the guide template group,and 10 Grade Ⅰ screws,3 Grade Ⅱ screws,and 1 Grade Ⅲ screw in the fluoroscopy group,with no statistical significance(P=0.334).The functional outcome was evaluated according to Majeed score at the last follow-up,without significant difference between the guide template group and the fluoroscopy group(P=0.908). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional fluoroscopy,it would cost less operation time,less fluoroscopic frequency and increase more accurate screw insertion to fixate the posterior pelvic ring fracture with the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template.

Objective:To compare the long-term clinical outcomes between cannulated screw internal fixation for stable femoral neck fractures and arthroplasty for unstable ones in the elderly patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 542 patients with femoral neck fracture who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2015 to April 2017. The 542 patients were divided into 2 groups based on fracture stability and treatment method. In the stable group (Garden type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ, and abduction compression type) of 121 cases who underwent cannulated screw internal fixation, there were 28 males and 93 females with a mean age of (77.6±8.1) years, and 20 cases of type Ⅰ, 101 cases of type Ⅱ, and 34 cases of abduction compression type by the Garden classification. In the unstable group (Garden type Ⅲ, type Ⅳ, and type Ⅱ with a posterior tilt angle >20°) of 421 cases who underwent arthroplasty, there were 130 males and 291 females with a mean age of (78.7 ± 6.9) years, and 14 cases of type Ⅱ, 403 cases of type Ⅲ, and 4 cases of type Ⅳ by the Garden classification. The postoperative mortality, reoperation rate, and mobility at the last follow-up were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics, except for serum albumin concentration and peripheral white blood cell count at admission, between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). The hospital stay in the stable group [5.0 (4.0, 6.0)d] was significantly shorter than that in the unstable group [6.0 (5.0, 8.0)d], and the follow-up time for the stable group [54.4 (49.3, 58.7) months] significantly longer than that for the unstable group [52.2 (46.0, 59.3) months] ( P<0.05). A total of 158 patients (45 cases in the stable group and 113 cases in the unstable group) were lost to the last follow-up. At the last follow-up, the mortality in the stable group (18.4%, 14/76) was significantly lower than that in the unstable group (31.5%, 97/308), the reoperation rate in the former (15.8%, 12/76) significantly higher than that in the latter (3.6%, 11/308), and the capability of daily activities in the former (by the fracture mobility scoring: level 1 in 35 cases, level 2 in 13 cases, level 3 in 3 cases, level 4 in 2 cases, and level 5 in 1 case) significantly better than that in the latter (level 1 in 99 cases, level 2 in 47 cases, level 3 in 24 cases, level 4 in 22 cases, and level 5 in 5 cases) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the arthroplasty for unstable femoral neck fractures, cannulated screw internal fixation for stable femoral neck fractures leads to a lower long-term mortality and a better capability of daily activities, but a significantly higher reoperation rate.

Patients with lung cancer at the same stage may have markedly different overall outcome and a lack of specific biomarker to predict lung cancer outcome. Heat-shock protein 90 β (HSP90β) is overexpressed in various tumor cells. In this study, the ELISA results of HSP90β combined with CEA, CA125, and CYFRA21-1 were used to construct a recursive partitioning decision tree model to establish a four-protein diagnostic model and predict the survival of patients with lung cancer. Survival analysis showed that the recursive partitioning decision tree could distinguish the prognosis between high- and low-risk groups. Results suggested that the joint detection of HSP90β, CEA, CA125, and CYFRA21-1 in the peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer is plausible for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of lung cancer.

Objective:To explore the effect of exercise intervention on regulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway in overweight and obese pregnant women.Methods:The cohort was based on a randomized controlled trial (RCT) carried out by the same research group in Peking University First Hospital from December 2014 to July 2016. Overweight and obese patients who delivered by elective cesarean section without pregnancy complications were recruited, among which 12 cases in the exercise group and 11 cases in the control group were selected. Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western Blot, and Luminex experiments were used to compare the expression of TLR4-myeloid differentiation factor 8(MyD88)-nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), rectus abdominis muscle, omental adipose, and subcutaneous adipose, as well as the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10) in plasma between the two groups. Two independent samples t-test, generalized estimating equation, Chi-square test, and Pearson correlation analysis were adopted for statistical analysis. Results:(1) The expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β in the exercise group showed a downward trend compared with the control in the second and third trimester, but none of the differences were statistically significant (all P>0.05). (2) The mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB and the protein expression of TLR4 and NF-κB in PBMC of the exercise group were significantly lower than those in the control group during pregnancy (TLR4 mRNA: 0.06±0.03 vs 0.10±0.04 in the second trimester, 0.05±0.02 vs 0.11±0.05 in the third trimester, χ2=8.07; MyD88 mRNA: 0.09±0.03 vs 0.11±0.03 in the second trimester, 0.10±0.04 vs 0.17±0.06 in the third trimester, χ2=5.81; NF-κB mRNA: 0.10±0.03 vs 0.17±0.08 in the second trimester, 0.08±0.03 vs 0.20±0.08 in the third trimester, χ2=14.71; TLR4 protein: 1.7±0.5 vs 1.9±0.8 in the second trimester, 1.7±0.4 vs 2.3±0.8 in the third trimester, χ2=5.83; NF-κB protein: 1.0±0.4 vs 1.5±0.4 in the second trimester, 1.2±0.3 vs 1.5±0.5 in the third trimester, χ2=4.73; all P<0.05). Moreover, the differences in the mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB and TLR4 protein expression in PBMC between the two groups gradually increased. (3) NF-κB in rectus abdominis and omental adipose tissue (0.04±0.02 vs 0.08±0.04, t=－3.72; 0.25±0.05 vs 0.63±0.21, t=－5.41; both P<0.05) and TLR4 and MyD88 in subcutaneous adipose tissue (0.12±0.03 vs 0.30±0.10, t=－5.30; 0.24±0.09 vs 0.44±0.08, t=－5.38; both P<0.05) were observed a decreased mRNA level in the exercise group compared with the control group. The protein level of MyD88 and NF-κB in omental adipose tissue and NF-κB in subcutaneous adipose tissue in the exercise group were significantly lower than those in the control group (1.1±0.5 vs 2.0±0.8, t=－3.15; 1.3±0.5 vs 2.0±0.9, t=－2.23; 1.2±0.5 vs 1.9±0.8, t=－2.80, all P<0.05). (4) The expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB mRNA ( r=0.453 and 0.485) in rectus abdominis muscle, NF-κB mRNA, TLR4 and MyD88 protein ( r=0.539, 0.437 and 0.527) in omental adipose in the two groups were positively correlated with the level of fasting blood glucose ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Regular exercise during pregnancy can down-regulate the expression and activation of the TLR4-MyD88-NFκB pathway in overweight and obese pregnant women. The expression of related factors along this pathway has a certain correlation with fasting blood glucose.
