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.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 2 (PTPN2) is a promising target for sensitizing solid tumors to immune checkpoint blockades. However, the highly polar active sites of PTPN2 hinder drug discovery efforts. Leveraging small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology, we developed a novel glutathione-responsive nano-platform HPssPT (HA/PEIss@siPtpn2) to silence PTPN2 and enhance immunotherapy efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HPssPT showed potent transfection and favorable safety profiles. PTPN2 deficiency induced by HPssPT amplified the interferon γ signaling in HCC cells by increasing the phosphorylation of Janus-activated kinase 1 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1, resulting in enhanced antigen presentation and T cell activation. The nano-platform was also able to promote the M1-like polarization of macrophages in vitro. The unique tropism of HPssPT towards tumor-associated macrophages, facilitated by hyaluronic acid coating and CD44 receptor targeting, allowed for simultaneous reprogramming of both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages, thereby synergistically reshaping tumor microenvironment to an immunostimulatory state. In HCC, colorectal cancer, and melanoma animal models, HPssPT monotherapy provoked robust antitumor immunity, thereby sensitizing tumors to PD-1 blockade, which provided new inspiration for siRNA-based drug discovery and tumor immunotherapy.

Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a natural product commonly used in food preservation and pharmaceutical applications. Toxoplasmosis, caused by the protozoan pathogen Toxoplasma gondii, is prevalent globally while the impact of AITC on toxoplasmosis is unclear. We explored the effect of AITC on acute toxoplasmosis. We infected C57BL/6 mice with T. gondii type I RH strain following AITC administration. On the 4th day after infection, which corresponds to the initial stage of infection, we collected serum for the determination of inflammatory cytokine levels. The mice serum of the AITC-administered group contained significantly lower levels of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, interferon-gamma, interleukin (IL)-23 subunit p19, IL-4, IL-6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. The lifespan of the mice in the AITC-administered group was significantly reduced. In vitro experiments showed that AITC promoted the proliferation of intracellular T. gondii accompanied by the inhibition of IL-4, IL-1β, and IL-6 production in RAW264.7 macrophages. Our results showed that AITC facilitated T. gondii infection in the early stage by inhibiting the production of several inflammatory cytokines.

Objective:To explore the application value of optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) volume rendering technique (VRT) body surface imaging in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for thoracic tumors.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. The clinical data of 65 patients with thoracic tumors treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy at Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from September 2021 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. In the first treatment,after cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and correction, VRT body surface images were obtained by using OSMS. In subsequent treatment, the VRT image was used as the benchmark and the 6-dimensional bed was automatically positioned to record the 6-dimensional bed positioning value. The CBCT scan was performed to record the translation and rotation errors of left-right direction (X-axis), head-foot direction (Y-axis) and front-rear direction (Z-axis). After the calibration of the 6-dimensional automatic bed shifting, the new real-time deltas (RTD) value of digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) body surface image was recorded, and the new VRT image was obtained. CBCT registration error value was defined as VRT image-guided setup error. The sum of CBCT registration error value and moving bed movement value was defined as the body surface marker line-guided setup error. The sum of CBCT registration error value and the recorded DICOM image RTD value was defined as the theoretical error of DICOM image-guided setup. The advantages and disadvantages of VRT image, body surface marker line and DICOM image-guided setup were compared and analyzed.Results:There were 42 males and 23 females in 65 patients with thoracic tumors, and the age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] was 58 years (51 years, 64 years). The linear errors [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of VRT image-guided setup in X, Y and Z axes were 0.6 mm (0.3 mm, 1.2 mm), 1.2 mm (0.5 mm, 2.4 mm) and 1.1 mm (0.5 mm, 1.9 mm); and the rotational errors were 0.4° (0.1°, 0.7°), 0.4° (0.1°, 0.6°) and 0.4° (0.2°, 0.6°). The linear errors of the marker line-guided setup were 1.6 mm (0.9 mm, 2.6 mm), 2.2 mm (1.1 mm, 3.8 mm) and 1.0 mm (0.4 mm, 1.8 mm); and the rotational errors were 0.7° (0.3°, 1.2°), 0.5° (0.2°, 0.8°) and 0.5° (0.2°, 0.8°). The linear errors of the DICOM image-guided positioning were 1.1 mm (0.6 mm, 1.9 mm), 2.1 mm (1.0 mm, 3.4 mm) and 1.3 mm (0.6 mm, 3.1 mm), and the rotational errors were 0.6° (0.2°, 1.1°), 0.7° (0.3°, 1.1°), 0.7° (0.2°, 1.1°). Compared with the marker line-guided setup, except for Z-axis linear error ( P = 0.218), the VRT-guided setup errors were low (all P < 0.001). Compared with the DICOM imaging-guided setup, the VRT image-guided setup linear error and rotational error in X-, Y- and Z-axis were low (all P < 0.01). Conclusions:VRT image-guided setup is superior to traditional body surface marker setup and DICOM imaging setup; OSMS VRT body surface imaging can effectively improve the setup accuracy and stability of intensity-modulated radiotherapy for thoracic tumors, and reduce the setup errors.
