Objective To investigate the relationship between a body shape index(ABSI),bone mineral density(BMD),osteopo-rosis,and fracture risk,and to evaluate its potential value as a predictive marker for skeletal health risks in middle-aged and elderly in-dividuals.This study aims to provide scientific evidence for the early screening and intervention of osteoporosis and fracture risks.Meth-ods Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES)2017-2020,individuals aged ≥50 years were selected as the study population.ABSI was calculated and categorized into quartiles.The relationship between ABSI and fracture risk was analyzed using logistic regression models while adjusting for demographic characteristics,lifestyle factors,and clinical variables.A re-stricted cubic spline(RCS)model was employed to explore the dose-response relationship between ABSI and fracture risk.Subgroup an-alyses were conducted to identify potential effect modifiers.Results BMD decreased,and the risks of osteoporosis and fractures signifi-cantly increased with higher ABSI quartiles(trend P＜0.05).Compared to the lowest ABSI quartile,individuals in the highest quartile had a significantly increased fracture risk(adjusted OR=1.33,95％CI:1.04-1.70).RCS analysis demonstrated a linear positive cor-relation between ABSI and fracture risk(overall P＜0.001),with fracture risk progressively increasing with higher ABSI levels.Sub-group analyses revealed consistent associations across different age groups,sexes,and BMI categories.Conclusion ABSI is independ-ently associated with lower BMD,higher osteoporosis risk,and increased fracture risk.These findings suggest that ABSI is a simple and effective tool for identifying individuals at high skeletal health risk,providing scientific evidence for the early prevention and intervention of osteoporosis and fractures.

Objective:To explore the construction of clinical competence index system for general practitioners based on CIPP(context evaluation, input evaluation, process evaluation, product evaluation) evaluation model.Methods:Based on the CIPP evaluation model, a research team was established to conduct a literature review. Research articles were retrieved, screened, and analyzed to formulate the primary clinical competence index system for general practitioners based on CIPP evaluation model and the expert consultation questionnaire. The Delphi method was employed to finalize the clinical competence index system for general practitioners based on CIPP evaluation model.Results:A total of 24 experts from grade A tertiary hospitals in several provinces and cities in China participated in two rounds of consultation. The effective recovery rate for both rounds was 100.00%. The authority coefficients were 0.905 and 0.912, respectively. After the consultations, the coefficients of variation of indexes at all levels were <0.25. The Kendall's W of all indexes ranged between 0.769 and 0.814 in the first round and between 0.867 and 0.905 in the second round of expert consultation ( P<0.001). The final clinical competence index system for general practitioners based on CIPP evaluation model included 4 first-level indexes, 12 second-level indexes, and 42 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The clinical competence index system for general practitioners based on CIPP evaluation model established in this study has reference significance for further research on the training assessment and evaluation index system of clinical competence for general practitioners in China, and has important practical significance for the evaluation tool of clinical work performance of general practitioners.

Objective To explore the short-term and long-term efficacy of arthroscopic surgery,different non-surgical ther-apy and sham operation intervention in the treatment of meniscus related injuries,and to compare their advantages and disadvan-tages,so as to provide guidance for clinical practice.Methods Randomized controlled trials on arthroscopic surgery,meniscecto-my and other surgical and non-surgical treatments for knee meniscus injury were searched in PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Librar-y and Web of Science,and the search time was from its inception to July 2023.Two researchers independently screened the liter-ature according to the established literature ranking criteria,and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to evalu-ate the risk of bias of the included literature,while the PEDro Scale Evaluation Tool was used to evaluate the quality of the liter-ature of the randomized controlled trials,and the collected data were quantitatively analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results From the qualitative analysis,it was clear that surgical therapies might be more appropriately applied to patients without osteo-arthritis and without mechanical symptoms,and that meniscal suture repair surgery had a more favorable long-term outcome compared with traditional partial meniscectomy.Quantitative analysis showed that there was no statistical significance between arthroscopic surgery and other non-surgical therapies in several short and long term efficacy(all P＞0.05).For example,MD=0.15,95％CI:-4.05～4.35,I2=0％in the short-term comparison of Lysholm knee score;MD=-1.30,95％CI:-3.16～0.57,I2=0％;Short-term VAS score MD=-0.18,95％CI:-0.59～0.23,I2=45％;MD=-0.01,95％CI:-0.20～0.19,I2=36％.In addition,in the subgroup analysis of degenerative meniscus injury alone,the difference in clinical efficacy between the two therapies was also not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion There is no practical difference between surgi-cal therapy and non-surgical therapy in the short-term and long-term outcomes.For single type injury,such as degenerative me-niscus injury,there is no practical difference between the two therapies.

Objective:To design a patient self-rating wrist scale suitable for Chinese patients, and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:The primary entry pool was established by referring to the existing foreign scales and the opinions of domestic experts. Opinions of 11 hand surgeons and 10 patients with wrist diseases were referred to select better items into the primary scale. During September 2015 to November 2016, 100 inpatients with wrist diseases in the hand surgery department of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were selected by convenient sampling method, and the primary scale was conducted on them. Eight indices including item response rate, item differentiation, item-dimension attribution, variability, responsiveness, overall item attribution, internal consistency and factor loading were summarized. All the 8 indices were evaluated to establish the wrist patient self-evaluation instrument for Chinese. Test-retest reliability, Cronbach coefficient, expert score, KMO value, explanatory power, χ 2/df, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) and comparative fit index (CFI) were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale. Results:A total of 40 subjective items in the primary entry pool were selected to form the primary scale, including 32 items (A1-D4), and 4 dimensions (physiology, safety, pain and emotion). There were 92 valid scale results in 100 cases. All cases' response rate were over 90%. In terms of item differentiation, only the high grouping score [3.20±0.577 points (range, 1-3 points)] and the low grouping score [2.68±0.627 points (range, 2-5 points)] of item B10 had no statistical significance ( t=5.11, P=0.340). There were 17 items: A1, A2, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, B4, B6, B7, C5, D1, D2, and D3 were considered to be deleted according to the result of item-dimension attribution. A total of 11 items had a variation less than 0.65: A4 (0.645), A7 (0.593), B1 (0.590), B5 (0.617), B8 (0.578), B9 (0.612), B10 (0.526), D1 (0.644), D2 (0.320), D3 (0.169), D4 (0.526). A2, A4, A6, A8, B4, B6, D1, D2, D3, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 did not meet the reactivity requirements. Items with factor loads less than 0.4: D2 (-0.051), D3 (-0.127), and D4 (0.267). C4 (0.026), C5 (0.023), D1 (0.103), D2 (0.434), D3 (0.387), D4 (0.062) did not meet the internal consistency requirements. In multiple linear regression analysis, 19 items were not included in the final regression equation. Based on the above analysis, D1, D2, and D3 were finally deleted and the rest 29 valid items were remained to form the wrist patient self-evaluation instrument for Chinese. Reliability and validity of the scale: the test-retest reliability of physiology, safety, pain, emotion dimensions were 0.984, 0.976, 0.985 and 0.802 ( P<0.001), respectively. Except for there was only one item in emotion dimension, the Cronbach coefficients of total score, physiology, safety and pain dimensions were 0.943, 0.973, 0.944 and 0.881, respectively. KMO was 0.894 ( P<0.001). Except for there was only one item in emotion dimension, whose validity could not be evaluated. The χ 2/df, CFI, RMSEA results were as follows, physiology: 5.152, 0.817, 0.022, respectively; safety: 5.378, 0.795, respectively; pain: 7.439, 0.865, 0.028, respectively. Conclusion:The wrist patient self-evaluation instrument for Chinese is consisted of 4 dimensions and 29 items. As a subjective wrist self-rating scale suitable for modern Chinese patients, the scale has good reliability and validity, and can be one of the choices of the subjective evaluation for Chinese patients with wrist diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term outcomes of modified reverse Sauvé-Kapandji technique in treating the congenital radioulnar synostosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 46 congenital radioulnar synostosis patients were treated with modified reverse Sauvé-Kapandji technique in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from December 2018 to January 2020, including 38 males (45 sides), 8 females (9 sides), average age 6.6 (3.2, 8.1) years old. All the patients were classified as type III according to Cleary-Omer classification and were followed up for at least 1 year. All the patients were treated with same operation, in which 1.5 cm shaft was resected at the proximal radius, allogeneic graft tendon was used as interposition, and rotational osteotomy was performed in the middle of the ulnar shaft, with intramedullary needle or Kirschner wire fixation, depending on the intramedullary width of ulnar shaft. The radiological features were collected and recorded preoperatively and at the latest follow-up, together with the following evaluation indexes: modified Morrey tasks score, subjective function score, active forearm rotation range without compensation, active forearm rotation range with wrist joint compensation, and active forearm rotation range with wrist and shoulder joint compensation.Results:All patients were followed up for 14.6±3.4 months (range, 11.2-19.5 months). The uncompensated forearm rotation Angle was 0.0°±0.0° before surgery and 62.3°±23.7° after surgery. The forearm rotation angles before and after surgery with wrist compensatory surgery were 86.9°±29.4° and 133.2°±27.9°, respectively. The forearm rotation angles before and after surgery with wrist and shoulder joint compensatory surgery were 205.2°±42.7° and 245.2°±35.8°, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes before and after surgery ( t=8.71, P<0.001; t=2.54, P=0.030; t=5.05, P<0.001). Ulnar union was observed in 31 patients (37 sides) after the operation, and the union duration was 6.1±2.3 months. There were 15 patients (17 sides) ulnar shafts faced with postoperative delayed union, the union duration was 8.4±1.6 months and were recovered after prolonging brace fixation and orthopedic shock wave treatment. The scores of subjective function and improved Morrey tasks of the 43 sides with good pseudo-joint were 12.1 (0.0, 20.8) and 0.7 (0.0, 1.0) points, respectively, which were improved compared with 33.9 (25.0, 41.6) and 3.2 (2.0, 4.0) points before surgery. The differences were statistically significant ( Z=-2.44, P=0.015; Z=-2.83, P=0.005). There were 11 forearms with postoperative pseudo-joint re-ankylosis, the average forearm rotation ranges without compensation was 11.4°±10.5°(range, 0°-30°), the average forearm rotation ranges with wrist compensation was 98.6°±15.9° (range, 80°-120°), the average forearm rotation ranges with wrist and shoulder compensation was 231.7°±16.9° (range, 210°-255°). The average subjective function scores was 26.7 (8.3, 39.6). The average modified Morrey tasks scores was 1.2 (0, 2), and there were no other postoperative complications. Conclusion:The reverse Sauvé-Kapandji technique showed a satisfying short-term outcome, and can be a new choice of treatment for type III congenital radioulnar synostosis.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of preoperative transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) and intraoperative deep wound local anesthesia on improving postoperative pain in kidney transplant recipients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 62 recipients who underwent allogeneic kidney transplantation at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2020 to June 2023. The recipients were divided into three groups according to the different methods of postoperative analgesia: group A ( n=11), group B ( n=28) and group C ( n=23). Group A received preoperative TAPB anesthesia, group B received intraoperative deep wound local anesthesia, and group C received conventional anesthesia. Demographic characteristics, intraoperative parameters, postoperative pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores at 0, 2, 12 and 24 hours, postoperative analgesic medication requirement, time to postoperative oral intake, and incidence of complications were compared among the three groups. The normality of measurement data was tested by Shapiro-Wilk method. Measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s). ANOVA was used for comparison between groups, and S-N-K method was used for pairwise comparison between groups with differences. Measurement data that did not conform to the normal distribution were expressed as the median (interquartile distance) [ M( Q1, Q3)], Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between groups, and Bonferroni was used for pairwise comparison after the fact if there were differences between groups. The Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used for comparison between data groups. Results:There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics and intraoperative parameters among the three groups ( P>0.05). The pain VAS scores at 0, 2, 12 and 24 h after surgery in group A and group B were significantly lower than those in group C ( P<0.001), and the pain VSA scores at 0 and 24 h were no difference between group A and group B, while the pain VAS scores at 2 and 12 h were lower in group A than those in group B. The postoperative analgesic medication requirement was also significantly lower in group A and group B than those in group C, the requirement rate of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug in group A was lower than that in group B. Moreover, the time to postoperative oral intake was significantly shorter in group A and group B compared to group C. These differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative nausea and vomiting or major complications among the three groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative TAPB and intraoperative deep wound local anesthesia can effectively alleviate postoperative pain in kidney transplant recipients, reduce the use of analgesic medication, promote early recovery of gastrointestinal function in donors, and do not increase the incidence of postoperative complications. The analgesic effect of deep wound local anesthesia was similar to preoperative TAPB.

OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for the R&D of TCM patents for treating gastric cancer and layout. METHODS：TCM patents for treating gastric cancer collected by the State Intellectual Property Office and the European Patent Office Espacenet were retrieved from the inception to Dec. 31st， 2019. After the initial examination ，a second search was conducted based on the keywords such as “Stomachache”“Fuliang” “Accumulation”“Cancer of stomach ”“Gastric”and their synonyms. Each literature was read one by one and screened manually. Excel 2007 software was used to input general information of included patents. SPSS modeler 15.0 software and SPSS 22.0 software were used for association rule analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis of TCM used more than 30 times and top 30 frequently used. Based on patent analysis ，internal strength （S），weakness（W），external opportunity （O）and threat （T）of TCM for treating gastric cancer were analyzed ；based on this ，four different types of combination strategies were formulated. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：Finally，385 patents were obtained ，including 379 domestic patents （98.44％） and 6 foreign patents （1.56％）. The number of patent applications and applicants of TCM for treating gastric cancer in China was on the rise during 1994-2016. The commonly used TCM for treating gastric cancer were mainly tonifying deficiency drugs and heat clearing drugs ， and the meridian tropism were mostly the stomach meridian and spleen meridian. According to the efficacy ，the commonly used drug combinations include the combination of tonifying spleen and Qi ，the combination of anti-cancer and detoxification ，and the combination of drying dampness and resolving phlegm. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis showed that Poria cocos ， Atractylodes macrocephala ，Astragalus membranaceus ，Scutellaria barbata ，Hedyotis diffusa and Glycyrrhiza uralensis were clustered into one category and the common combination for treating gastric cancer. The remaining cluster distributions are also in line with the characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. Strength of domestic TCM patents for treating gastric cancer were that the number of patents in China was taking a leading position in the world ，the patent system of key applicants was mature，the combination of compound patents embodied the characteristics of disease and dialectical theory. Weakness included low patent authorization rate ，to-be-improved effectiveness and safety studies of TCM patents ，weak development of TCM extract patents，low degree of patent internationalization and hanging same-family patents. Opportunities were that the demand for drugs for gastric cancer was increasing with each passing day ，and natione actively support the development of the TCM industry. Threats were that competitors in the international market had the potential to seize the market. The development of TCM for treating gastric cancer in China should take market demand and national policy support as an opportunity ，learn from TCM patent characteristic system of key applicants ，continue to give full play to the advantages of TCM in prevention and syndrome differentiation of disease，pay more efforts to the development of weak links such as TCM extracts ，safety and effectiveness ，improve the international competitiveness in the field of patents ，while establish a warning and navigation analysis system for patents to effectively reduce the intellectual property threats and risks of invention patents of China in the international environment.
