The aging microenvironment, as a key driver of tumorigenesis and progression, plays a critical role in tumor immune regulation through one of its core features-the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). SASP consists of a variety of interleukins, chemokines, proteases, and growth factors. It initially induces surrounding cells to enter a state of senescence through paracrine mechanisms, thereby creating a sustained inflammatory stimulus and signal amplification effect within the tissue microenvironment. Furthermore, these secreted factors activate key signaling pathways such as NF-κB, cGAS-STING, and mTOR, which regulate the expression of immune-related molecules (such as PD-L1) and promote the recruitment of immunosuppressive cells, including regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. This process ultimately contributes to the formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the article explores potential anti-tumor immunotherapy strategies targeting SASP and its associated molecular mechanisms, including approaches to inhibit SASP secretion or eliminate senescent cells. Although these strategies have shown promise in certain tumor models, the high heterogeneity among tumor types may result in varied responses to SASP-targeted therapies. This highlights the need for further research into adaptive stratification and personalized treatment approaches. Targeting immune regulatory mechanisms in the aging microenvironment-particularly SASP-holds great potential for advancing future anti-tumor therapies.

Objective To analyze the differences in the initial stability of an acetabular cup with a Voronoi polyhedral porous structure and a solid acetabular cup and to explore the impact of the Voronoi polyhedral porous layer on the initial stability of the acetabular cup,as well as its role in preventing loosening and dislocation.Methods Voronoi polyhedral porous scaffold structures with 60％and 70％porosities were designed using the Grasshopper software.Specimens of porous acetabular cups with 60％and 70％porosities and solid acetabular cups were manufactured using selective laser melting technology.Lever tests on the acetabular cups were conducted using polyurethane block models under identical conditions,and the maximum lever-out moment,angular displacement,and interface stiffness of the three groups of specimens were analyzed and compared.Results Under the condition of no significant differences in the compression force,for porous acetabular cups with porosities of 60％and 70％,the maximum lever-out moment increased by 278.82％and 320.56％,the angular displacement increased by 194.04％and 269.23％,respectively,and the interface stiffness increased by 18.58％and 7.88％,respectively,compared with that of solid acetabular cups.After the lever-out tests were completed,significant wear was observed within the polyurethane block hemisphere cavity using the porous acetabular cups.Conclusions The initial stability indicators of acetabular cups with a Voronoi polyhedral porous structure were higher than those of solid acetabular cups,indicating that the Voronoi polyhedral porous layer can enhance the initial stability of the acetabular cup.These results provide a reference for designing and selecting acetabular components.

Objective To explore the correlation between left atrial diameter (LAD) and renal function in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods A total of 364 patients with atrial fibrillation were selected as study subjects. Clinical data of the patients were collected, including gender, age, height, body weight, smoking history, drinking history, atrial fibrillation type, history of hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, heart failure, medication history, high-sensitivity troponin I, brain natriuretic peptide, C-reactive protein, creatinine, urea nitrogen, LAD, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWTd), and interventricular septal thickness (IVSTd). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and body mass index were calculated. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlations of LAD with creatinine, urea nitrogen, and eGFR. With eGFR < 60 mL/(min·1.73 m²) setting as renal insufficiency, univariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of renal insufficiency in patients with atrial fibrillation. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between LAD and renal insufficiency in patients with atrial fibrillation. Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that LAD was positively correlated with creatinine (r=0.279, P < 0.001) and urea nitrogen (r=0.190, P < 0.001) in patients with atrial fibrillation, and negatively correlated with eGFR (r=-0.263, P < 0.001). Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, history of diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation type, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor medication history, diuretic medication history, LAD, LVEF, LVDd, and IVSTd were all influencing factors of renal insufficiency in patients with atrial fibrillation (P < 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the first quartile of LAD (LAD ≤ 38 mm), the risk of renal insufficiency in patients with atrial fibrillation in the fourth quartile of LAD (LAD>47 mm) increased by 5.199 times(OR=5.199; 95 %CI, 1.210 to 22.337; P=0.027). Conclusion LAD of patients with atrial fibrillation is significantly related to renal function, and LAD is an influencing factor of renal insufficiency in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum asprosin level and atrial fibrillation. Methods A total of 85 hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation in the Department of Cardiology of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from October 2021 to October 2023 were selected as atrial fibrillation group, and 86 hospitalized patients with normal sinus rhythm in the same period were selected as non-atrial fibrillation group. Clinical materials and serum asprosin level of patients were collected and compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to establish a linear stepwise regression model based on potential confounding factors for exploration in the independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of asprosin for atrial fibrillation. Results Serum asprosin level in the atrial fibrillation group, was significantly higher than that in the non-atrial fibrillation group (P < 0.001). The linear stepwise regression model showed that asprosin was an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (OR=1.020, 95%CI, 1.005 to 1.036, P=0.01). The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of serum asprosin in predicting atrial fibrillation was 0.745 (95%CI, 0.670 to 0.819). Conclusions Serum asprosin level is significantly elevated in patients with atrial fibrillation, and asprosin is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Serum asprosin level has good diagnostic value for atrial fibrillation.

Behcet′s disease is a chronic, multisystemic, inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent episodes of mucous membranes, eyes, musculoskeletal, blood vessels, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract.The treatment of Behcet′s disease varies according to the degree of organ involvement, gender and age of the patient, and there is no standard treatment. Behcet′s disease can be divided into vascular type, gastrointestinal type and neural type. Vascular type often leads to high mortality and disability rate.Glucocorticoids, azathioprine and cyclophosphamide are still recommended as first-line treatments for vascular Behcet′s disease.However, with the use of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, they are an acceptable option for the treatment of refractory vascular Bezier′s disease.This article reviews the current treatment of vascular Behcet′s disease.

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of Nice knot combined with elastic compress and stretch in treating skin and soft tissue defect. Methods: From August 2017 to April 2019, a total of 23 patients, 10 males and 13 females, aged 36.5±5.3 years (range 26-76 years), were retrospectively analyzed. The defect size was 60±5.3 cm² (28-96 cm²). Under local anesthesia, the wound was debrided thoroughly, sutured and fixed by Nice knot. The wound was fixed by elastic dressing and traction. The wound was retracted every 3 days during dressing change. The wound healing grade, healing rate, healing time, and postoperative Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) were observed and recorded. Results: All operations were performed successfully in the debridement room. The operation time was 42±10.5 min (range 30-50 min), intraoperative bleeding 30±2.5 ml (range 20-60 ml), and the operation cost 180±11.5 RMB (range 160-240 RMB). Twenty patients were followed up for 4±2.5 months (range 3-6 months). The wound healing rate of 23 patients was 50%±3.5% (range 40%-56%). For the 20 patients, the wound healing rate was 65%±4.3% (range 53%-75%), 74%±4.5% (range 65%-80%), 83%±1.8% (range 76%-85%), 90%±1.6% (range 84%-95%) and 95%±3.5% (range 94%-98%) at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 days, respectively. The wound healing rate of 20 patients was 100% at the 42nd days of follow-up. Wound healing rate of Grade A and grade B was 95% (19/20) with scar VSS score 4(3, 6). The excellent and good rate of grade B was 80% (16/20). Two cases were sutured and fixed with Nice knot after 10 days because of the partial loss of the sutures. One case was treated with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) on-line junction because infection was not completely controlled. Local infection was controlled and the wound was contracted by Nice junction at 1 week. Conclusion The treatment of skin and soft tis sue defect with Nice combination with elastic dressing and traction has the advantages of simple operation, low operation condition, short operation time, less bleeding, low cost, high wound healing grade and healing rate, suitable for basic level hospital application and promotion.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of self-made one-fourth tubular hook plate used in the fixation of comminuted fractures of acetabular posterior wall. Methods: The clinical data of 21 patients with comminuted fracture of acetabular posterior wall were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated by fixation with our self-made one-fourth tubular hook plate from June 2015 to September 2017 at Deparment I of Orhthopaedics, The Second People's Hospital of Anhui Province. They were 12 males and 9 females, aged from 20 to 59 years (mean, 38.5 years). The time from injury to surgery ranged from 3 to 6 days (average, 4.5 days). All the fractures were fixated with our self-made one-fourth tubular hook plate via the Kocher-langenbeck approach. Depending on the fracture fragments, the hook plate was cut out obliquely through the 3rd or 4th hole and the sharp end of the plate was bent into a small hook to hold the fragments. Only the hook plate was used in 6 cases and an additional construction plate in the other 15 cases. The postoperative reduction, functional recovery of the affected hip and complications were recorded. Results: The follow-up averaged 13 months (from 8 to 32 months). Intermuscular venous thrombosis occurred in one patient and sciatic nerve contusion was observed intraoperatively in one patient with sciatic nerve injury. According to the improved Matta criteria, the fracture reduction was rated as excellent in 16 cases, as good in 4 and as poor in one, giving a good to excellent rate of 95.2%. The fractures united after an average of 7.5 months (from 6 to 12 months). According to the improved Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring system, the hip function at the final follow-up was excellent in 14 cases, good in 3, fair in 2 and poor in 2, giving a good to excellent rate of 81.0%. Follow-ups revealed traumatic arthritis in 3 cases, femoral head necrosis in 2 cases and ectopic ossification in one. Conclusion Our self-made one-fourth tubular hook plate is simple, economical and effective because it can provide easy and rigid fixation of the comminuted fractures of acetabular posterior wall, leading to fine therapeutic effects.
