OBJECTIVE:The optimal non-surgical therapy for chronic ankle instability remains unclear due to the continuous introduction of novel treatment methods despite the availability of several non-surgical options for improving foot and ankle function and dynamic balance in chronic ankle instability patients.This study aims to investigate the most effective non-surgical therapy options to improve foot and ankle function and dynamic balance for patients with chronic ankle instability using a network meta-analysis. METHODS:Using"CAI,exercise,and randomized controlled trial"as search terms,a literature search of PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,and Web of Science databases was conducted through a computer network to collect information from the databases from their inception to March 2024 on non-surgical therapies for the treatment of chronic ankle instability randomized controlled trials on foot and ankle function or dynamic balance in patients.EndNote software was utilized for literature management.RevMan 5.4 software and Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool were used to evaluate the risk of bias of the included literature.Paired meta-analysis and network meta-analysis of the outcomes such as the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure in daily living subscale score,Foot and Ankle Ability Measure in sports activities subscale score,Star Excursion Balance Test-Anterior score,Star Excursion Balance Test-Posteromedial score,Star Excursion Balance Test-Posterolateral score and Cumberland ankle instability tool score were performed using the network commands of Stata 14.0 software.The strength of evidence rating of the outcome metrics was evaluated according to the GRADE Level of Evidence and Strength of Recommendation Grading Criteria. RESULTS:Of the 22 randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria,1 study was rated as low risk,8 studies were rated as medium risk,and 13 studies were rated as high risk,enrolling a total of 952 patients and 25 treatments.(1)Network meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group,Isokinetic Strength Training,Balance Training,Balance+Stroboscopic Glasses Training,Strength Training,Joint Mobilizations Training,CrossFit Training,CrossFit Training+Self-Mobilization,Wobble Board Training,National Academy of Sport Medicine corrective exercise program,Trigger Point Dry Needling,and Neuromuscular Training had different significant enhancement effects on improving foot and ankle function and dynamic balance in patients with chronic ankle instability(P<0.05).(2)Cumulative probability ranking results showed that the three treatments with the highest ranked Cumberland ankle instability tool score were Joint Mobilizations Training(88.6%)>Visual Feedback Balance Training(83.1%)>CrossFit Training+Self-Mobilization(74.8%);the three treatments with the highest ranked Star Excursion Balance Test-Anterior score were Joint Mobilizations Training(88.4%)>Isokinetic Strength Training(86.9%)>National Academy of Sport Medicine corrective exercise program(65.0%);the three treatments with the highest ranked Star Excursion Balance Test-Posteromedial score were Balance+Stroboscopic Glasses Training(87.4%)>Neuromuscular Training(74.6%)>Strength Training(68.9%);the three treatments with the highest ranked Star Excursion Balance Test-Posterolateral score were CrossFit Training+Self-Mobilization(74.6%)>Balance+Stroboscopic Glasses Training(70.0%)>Neuromuscular Training(63.7%);the three treatments with the highest ranked Foot and Ankle Ability Measure in daily living subscale score were National Academy of Sport Medicine corrective exercise program(91.9%)>Balance+Stroboscopic Glasses Training(85.6%)>Wobble Board Training(82.2%);the three treatments with the highest ranked Foot and Ankle Ability Measure in sports activities subscale score were Balance+Stroboscopic Glasses Training(93.5%)>Balance Training(86.7%)>National Academy of Sport Medicine corrective exercise program(86.4%). CONCLUSION:Non-surgical therapies can significantly improve foot and ankle function and dynamic balance in patients with chronic ankle instability.National Academy of Sport Medicine corrective exercise program had the best efficacy in improving foot and ankle daily activity function in chronic ankle instability patients;Balance+Stroboscopic Glasses Training had the best efficacy in improving foot and ankle sports function and posterior medial dynamic balance;Joint Mobilizations Training had the best efficacy in improving anterolateral dynamic balance and ankle instability condition;and CrossFit Training+Self-Mobilization had the best efficacy in improving posterior lateral dynamic balance.The strength of evidence for each outcome was low,influenced by the risk of methodological bias and risk of publication bias of the included studies.Therefore,the above conclusions need to be validated by more high-quality pilot studies.

Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） offers a rich theoretical foundation and clinical experience for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome（CKM）， demonstrating unique advantage. Building on previous work in managing diabetes， its complications， and chronic kidney disease， our team has proposed a five-phase evolution theory of "constraint， heat， deficiency， stasis， and toxin" as the core pathogenesis. These phases correspond to the pathological progression of constraint of phlegm-dampness， constraint transforming into heat， heat damaging qi and yin， stasis accumulated in the collateral vessels， and toxin induced by deficiency and stasis. In the prevention and treatment of CKM by TCM， it is emphasized to integrate the concept of "treating disease before it arises" with constitution theory， and incorporate the "2-5-8" prevention and treatment strategy， which combines prevention with treatment， tailors interventions to different phases， and employs comprehensive treatment modalities. Our goal is to leverage TCM's holistic advantages in preventing and treating CKM.

Objective To establish a method for rapid detection of tramadol in urine by liquid-liquid extraction（LLE）-surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy （SERS）. Methods Tramadol was extracted from urine with chloroform∶isopropyl alcohol （9∶1） extractant and detected in urine samples by enhanced Raman spectroscopy （wavelength 785 nm）. Results The quantitative curve of tramadol was Y=204.35 X−465.62, r=0.9952, and the linear range was 1-100 μg/ml. The detection limit of tramadol by this method （S/N=3） was 0.53 μg/ml. The sensitivity of SERS was higher than that of conventional methods, and it had reasonable reproducibility. Conclusion This method is simple, efficient and economical, and can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of tramadol personalized medicine.

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of elderly hospitalized patients with carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacillus (CRO) infection in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a gradeⅡ level A general hospital in Yangpu District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of hospital-acquired CRO infection in such hospitals. MethodsThe clinical data of elderly ICU patients (age ≥60 years) from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. A total of 122 cases with hospital-acquired CRO infection were used as the case group, and a total of 68 cases with carbapenem-sensitive gram-negative (CSO) infection were used as the control group. The clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed, and univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed for screening for possible influencing factors on hospital-acquired CRO infection. ResultsThe main pathogens of CRO infection were carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) (53 cases, 43.44%) and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) (46 cases, 37.70%), and 17 patients (13.93%) had more than two types of CRO infection. Among the CRO infection, the main sites were lower respiratory tract infection (58 cases, 47.54%), ventilator-associated pneumonia (21 cases, 17.21%), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (16 cases, 13.11%). The incidence rate of poor prognosis was higher in the CRO infection group (54.10%) than that in the CSO infection group (36.76%) (P=0.021). The results of univariate analysis showed that male, history of hospitalization within three months, chronic respiratory disease, hypoproteinemia, anemia, and history of invasive procedures prior to infection, including indwelling central venous catheter, invasive mechanical ventilation, urinary catheter, gastric tube placement and parenteral nutrition, in addition, heparin anticoagulation, the use of broad-spectrum penicillin, third-generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, carbapenems, carbapenems combined with fluoroquinolones, carbapenems combined with glycopeptides, use of ≥3 antibiotics and long time of antibiotic use prior to infection were all associated with the CRO infection (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that use of carbapenems (OR=7.739, 95%CI: 2.226‒26.911), ≥3 types of antibiotics (OR=6.307, 95%CI: 1.674‒23.754), invasive mechanical ventilation (OR=4.082, 95%CI: 1.795‒9.281), urinary catheter (OR=3.554, 95%CI: 1.074‒11.758), and comorbid hypoproteinemia (OR=4.741, 95%CI: 2.039‒11.022) and diabetes (OR=3.245, 95%CI: 1.344‒7.839) were positively correlated with the risk of CRO infection. ConclusionConcurrent use of carbapenems with multiple other antibiotics, as well as the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, urinary catheter, and comorbid hypoproteinemia and diabetes, may be associated with an increased influencing of CRO infection. More attention should be paid to the prevention and control of infection in elderly patients with the above-mentioned risk factors, and active screening of drug-resistant bacteria should be strengthened. Besides, the rational use of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems, avoiding unnecessary invasive operations, and paying attention to patient nutrition and blood glucose control all can reduce the incidence of CRO infection and help to improve clinical outcomes.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is primarily transmitted through the respiratory tract, and remains one of the diseases with the highest mortality rate of single-pathogen infections globally. The cell wall polysaccharides of M. tuberculosis are critical for maintaining bacterial structure, mediating pathogenesis, and enabling immune evasion. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM), a key polysaccharide component, has revolutionized non-invasive diagnostic technologies as a TB biomarker, while polysaccharide-based vaccines have emerged as innovative strategies for TB prevention. This review systematically examines the composition, subcellular distribution, and functional roles of M. tuberculosis cell wall polysaccharides in bacterial metabolism, drug resistance, and immune regulation. A particular emphasis is placed on recent advancements in LAM-based diagnostics and vaccine development. Future studies should utilize advanced technologies to precisely characterize the structural features of TB polysaccharides and explore their biological functions, providing a foundation for targeted diagnostic and therapeutic innovations. This article aims to provide reference for advancing both basic research and clinical applications related to M. tuberculosis.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the characteristics of immune cell infiltration in tumor samples from Chinese patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and the correlation of immune cell infiltration with tumor stage and response to immunotherapy. METHODS: Tumor samples and clinicopathological data were collected from 154 ccRCC patients treated in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from October, 2020 to October, 2023. The immune cell types infiltrating the tumor tissues were identified using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining, and their correlations with the patients' clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Patient-derived tumor tissue fragment models (PDTF) models, constructed using tumor tissues from 22 patients, were treated with PD-1 monoclonal antibody, and T cell activation was detected using flow cytometry to assess the patients' responses to immunotherapy. RESULTS: In Chinese ccRCC patients included in this study, CD8⁺ T cells, CD4⁺ T cells, and CD3⁺ T cells were the most abundant in the tumor tissues. Higher infiltration levels of CD3⁺ T cells (P=0.004), PD-1⁺ T cells (P=0.020), CD68⁺ T cells (P=0.049), CD79⁺ T cells (P=0.049), and Tryptase⁺ cells (P=0.049) were all positively correlated with a larger tumor size (≥5 cm). A higher infiltration level of CD4⁺ T cells was associated with a lower tumor stage. Patients with higher International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grades had higher infiltration levels of CD3⁺ T cells (P=0.023), CD8⁺ T cells (P=0.045), PD-1⁺ T cells (P=0.014), CD20⁺ B cells (P=0.020) and CD79⁺ B cells (P=0.049), and lower levels of Tryptase⁺ cells (P=0.001). Patients with abundant infiltrating immune cells tended to have better responses to immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS The infiltrating immune cells are heterogeneous in Chinese ccRCC patients, and immune cell infiltration characteristics are closely correlated with clinicopathological parameters of the patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between internet addiction and SIOSS score,and to examine the mediating role of impulsivity and the moderating role of mental health level.Methods A total of 393 college students were tested with internet addiction scale,Barratt impulsiveness scale-version 11,SIOSS and symptom checklist 90 to establish a moderated mediation model.Results After adjusted for age,internet addiction tendency had a positive predictive effect on SIOSS score(β=0.523,P＜0.01).Impulsivity played a partial mediating role in the relationship between internet addiction and SIOSS score,with a mediating effect value of 0.087(45.72％).The first half of the mediating effect of internet addiction→impulsivity→SIOSS score was moderated by mental health level(β=-0.118,P＜0.001).The predictive effect of internet addiction on impulsivity was stronger in individuals with good mental health level(with the indirect effect value of 0.619 9+0.048 7)compared with the individuals with poor mental health level(with the indirect effect value of 0.439 5+0.048 5).Conclusion Internet addiction can increase SIOSS score by enhancing individual impulsivity,but this effect is more pronounced in individuals with good mental health and then affect SIOSS score.

Objective To describe and analyze the influencing factors of psychological crisis among college students with borderline personality disorder(BPD)traits.Methods Self-compiled general information questionnaire,personality assessment inventory-borderline features scale(PAI-BOR),brief version of the difficulties in emotion regulation scale(DERS-16),short version of the UPPS-P impulsive behavior scale(S-UPPS-P),patient health questionnaire-9(PHQ-9),and psychological crisis screening questionnaire were used to survey 340 college students in Shanghai selected by convenience sampling.Participants were assigned to BPD trait or non-BPD trait groups based on PAI-BOR scores.The risk of psychological crisis and influencing factors of the 2 groups were analyzed.Results A total of 323 valid questionnaires were collected.The average age of the participants was(21.39±2.98)years old,and 164 participants were male and 159 were female.The detection rate of borderline personality disorder traits was 19.20%(62/323).There were significant differences in family relationship,experiences of major changes,difficulties in emotion regulation,impulsivity and depression between the 2 groups(all P＜0.05).The detection rates of mild psychological crisis and severe psychological crisis were significantly higher in the BPD trait group than in the non-BPD trait group(both P＜0.001).Stepwise multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that sensation seeking and difficulties in emotion regulation were risk factors for mild psychological crisis in the BPD trait group(both P＜0.05),and sensation seeking and history of mental disorders in close relatives were risk factors for severe psychological crisis in the BPD trait group(both P＜0.05).Conclusion BPD traits in college students are associated with the risk of psychological crisis.Sensation seeking,difficulties in emotion regulation,and history of mental disorders in close relatives are risk factors of psychological crisis among students with BPD traits.Colleges and universities should put more emphasis on the mental health of students with BPD traits,and formulate targeted preventive measures.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the distribution and drug resistant characteristics of isolated pathogens （especially Gram-negative bacteria） in hospital and promote the rational use of antibacterial drugs. Methods The pathogens and drug sensitivity test results were collected from the whole hospital every quarter from July 2018 to March 2023, and were conducted retrospective analysis. Results A total of 14 844 pathogens were isolated and detected, including 4 757 Gram-positive bacteria （32.05%） and 10 087 Gram-negative bacteria （67.95%）. The detection rate of extended spectrum beta-lactamases Escherichia coli was 43.23%, and it maintained high sensitivity to carbapenems and enzyme inhibitors, and the sensitivity rate was about 99.00%. The drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae was more serious, and carbapenem-resistant, multi-drug resistance and extensively-drug resistance appeared. In 2022，the detection rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was 54.82%; the detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in non-fermentative bacteria were 22.02% and 74.34%, the detection rate of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii was >70%. Conclusion The problem of drug resistance of Gram-negative bacteria was still serious, especially in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii. The problem of bacterial resistance poses great challenges to clinical treatment, and it is necessary to conduct regular monitoring and promote rational drug use.
