OBJECTIVE: To compare the short-term effectiveness between Gamma 3 intramedullary nails and Gamma 3 U-Blade system in the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 124 elderly patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures, who were admitted between February 2020 and February 2023 and met the selection criteria. The fractures were fixed with Gamma 3 intramedullary nails in 65 patients (control group) and Gamma 3 U-Blade systems in 59 patients (UB group). The differences between the two groups were not significant in age, gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, bone mineral density, time from injury to operation, fracture classification, and affected side ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and fracture healing time were recorded; the tip-apex distance, fracture reduction quality, and lag screw position were evaluated on X-ray films at immediate after operation; the lag screw sliding distance and change value of neck-shaft angle were measured on X-ray films at last follow-up. Harris hip score at 1 year after operation and the occurrence of internal fixation-related complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and hospital stay in the UB group increased compared to the control group, but the differences were not significant ( P>0.05). All patients in both groups were followed up 12-24 months (mean, 17.1 months). At 12 months after operation, there was no significant difference in the Harris hip score between the two groups ( P<0.05). Radiological examination showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in terms of tip-apex distance, fracture reduction quality, and lag screw position. Fractures healed in both groups, and there was no significant difference in healing time ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the change value of neck-shaft angle and lag screw sliding distance in the UB group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). During follow-up, no related complications occurred in the UB group, while 6 cases (9.2%) in the control group experienced complications, and the difference in the incidence was significant ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION For the osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly, the Gamma 3 U-Blade system fixation can achieve good short-term effectiveness, with better imaging results compared to Gamma 3 intramedullary nails fixation.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the disease burden of pelvic fractures at the global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2023 using data from the 2023 Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), and to predict the disease burden through 2050. METHODS: Leveraging data from the GBD 2023, this study investigated the disease burden of pelvic fractures across 204 countries and regions. Assessment indicators included incidence rate, prevalence rate, and years lived with disability (YLDs). The Joinpoint regression model was employed to analyze trends in pelvic fracture burden from 1990 to 2023, while the average annual percentage change (AAPC) was used to quantify this temporal trend. The relationship between the socio-demographic index and pelvic fracture burden was evaluated. Furthermore, the long short-term memory (LSTM) model was applied to predict trends in pelvic fracture burden through 2050. RESULTS: In 2023, the estimated number of new pelvic fracture cases globally was 7 479 884 [95% uncertainty interval ( UI): 5 293 401-10 611 876], representing a 42.74% increase from 1990. In the same year, the number of prevalent pelvic fracture cases and YLDs were 23 007 508 (95% UI: 21 021 518-25 327 165) and 3 909 228 person-years (95% UI: 2 725 498-5 194 385), respectively. Additionally, age-standardized rates exhibited an opposing downward trend. Significant disparities in the disease burden of pelvic fractures were identified across different age groups, genders, and social contexts. According to predictions from the LSTM model, the global age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of pelvic fractures will be approximately 88.44 per 100 000 persons by 2050, while the total number of incident cases will rise to 8 547 095. CONCLUSION Although the overall incidence rate, prevalence rate, and YLDs of pelvic fractures have exhibited an upward trend over the past three decades, the ASIR, age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), and age-standardized years of life lost rate (ASYR) have shown a downward trend. It is predicted that over the upcoming 26-year period, the age-standardized rate of disease burden due to pelvic fractures will further decrease, while the number of incident cases and prevalent cases will continue to exhibit an upward trend. Formulating more targeted disease prevention strategies is critical to addressing disparities across genders, regions, and other dimensions, and to mitigating the burden of pelvic fractures.

Objective:To compare the effects of intraoperative administration or non-administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) on early postoperative inflammatory response and clinical outcomes in elderly male patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 92 elderly male patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures admitted to Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2020 to December 2022, aged 62-96 years [(79.9±8.4)years]. According to the modified Evans classification, the fractures were classified as types I-III in 33 patients and types IV-V in 59. All the patients were treated with proximal femoral intramedullary nail fixation. Among them, 46 patients received intraoperative TXA (TXA group), while 46 patients did not (non-TXA group). The operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, length of postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days postoperatively were detected. The complication rate and mortality within 1 year postoperatively were also compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 1-12 months [(10.9±2.8)months]. No significant difference was found in the operative duration between the groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss and length of postoperative hospital stay were 150.0(100.0, 200.0)ml and (6.8±1.9)days in the TXA group, less or shorter than those in the non-TXA group [200.0(150.0, 262.5)ml and (7.7±2.0)days] ( P<0.05). At 1, 3, and 5 days postoperatively, the IL-6 levels in the TXA group were 84.5(66.3, 100.1)pg/ml, 48.9(36.8, 61.2)pg/ml, and 27.9(19.4, 37.5)pg/ml, which were all lower than those in the non-TXA group [110.3(83.1, 162.9)pg/ml, 63.7(44.2, 84.2)pg/ml, and 32.7(22.4, 42.9)pg/ml] ( P<0.05). No statistically significant difference in the IL-6 level was observed between the two groups at 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 and 3 days after operation, the VAS scores in the TXA group were (4.3±0.9)points and (2.5±0.9)points, lower than those in the non-TXA group [(6.8±1.2)points and (3.0±1.2)points] ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in VAS scores between the two groups at 5 and 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). The complication rate within one year after operation was 28% (13/46) in the TXA group, significantly lower than 50% (23/46) in the non-TXA group ( P<0.05). No significant difference was observed in the mortality within 1 year postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with non-administration of TXA, intraoperative administration of TXA can effectively reduce the intraoperative blood loss, shorten the length of postoperative hospital stay, significantly lower early postoperative inflammation levels, reduce early postoperative pain intensity, and decrease the incidence of complications in elderly male patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures, with no significant difference in mortality within 1 year after operation between the two groups.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Objective:To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) caused by lecanemab in Chinese patients with Alzheimer disease, and summarize the nursing management experience of IRRs.Methods:This study was a single center retrospective study and the subjects were Alzheimer′s disease patients who received lecanemab (10 mg/kg, once every 2 weeks) in the Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 26 to August 18, 2024. The occurrence, clinical characteristics, severity, and outcome of IRRs that occurred during the treatment of lecanemab in these patients were descriptively analyzed.Results:A total of 45 patients were included in the study, including 15 males (33.3%) and 30 females (66.7%); the age ranged from 52 to 82 years, with a median age of 62 years. Among the 45 patients, 15 (33.3%) developed IRRs, including 6 males and 9 females, and 2 of them had a previous history of allergy. In the 15 patients, there were 3, 8, 1 and 3 patients with 1, 2, 3 and 4 treatment cycles, respectively; 13 patients were pretreated with diphenhyd-ramine 30 minutes before lecanemab treatment; 14 patients had IRRs in the first cycle of lecanemab treatment, and 1 in the second cycle; IRRs occurred within 5 hours after finishing the intravenous infusion of lecanemab in 13 patients and on the second day after the administration in 2 patients. The main manifestations of IRRs were fever and chills; some patients had headache, nausea, and vomiting symptoms, and only 1 patient developed rash and itching. After symptomatic treatments, these symptoms in the 13 patients were relieved soon, and IRRs did not recur after the continued treatment of lecanemab according to the regime. The severity of IRRs was grade 1, 2, and 3 in 5, 9, and 1 patient, respectively. The incidence of severe IRRs was 2.2% (1/45).Conclusions:IRRs are common adverse reactions of lecanemab, mainly characterized by fever and chills, with mild severity. Generally, lecanemab-related IRRs occurs after the first administration, and may not occur again in the continued treatments. Vital signs should be routinely monitored in lecanemab treatment. Once IRRs occur, timely treatments should be given according to the severity, and the prognosis is usually good.

Gingival mesenchymal stem cells(GMSCs)are a population of mesenchymal stem cells found in the lamina propria of gingi-val tissue and can be isolated not only from healthy gingival tissue but also from hyperplastic or even inflamed gingival tissue.GMSCs have become a hot topic of research in oral disease treatment because of their abundant sources,easy availability,unique immunomod-ulatory properties and multi-directional differentiation potential.GMSCs have been used in the treatment of periodontitis,gingival reces-sion,oral cancer,mandibular defects,peripheral nerve injury repair and so on.To prevent and treat oral diseases,this study will re-view the recent progress of research on the application of GMSCs in oral diseases.
