Classical swine fever(CSF),caused by classical swine fever virus(CSFV),is a severe in-fectious disease characterized by high fever and extensive bleeding,which is listed as a mandatory report disease by WOAH.As a single-stranded RNA envelope virus,CSFV has evolved a strategy for attachment and entry to the cell in the process of adapting to external environmental pressure.H owever,the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown.Studies have shown that CSFV is mainly internalized through clathrin-mediated cross-membrane internalization and exists in the form of endosomes in the cytoplasm.Under certain conditions,the endosomal membrane fu-sion releases the genome for viral proliferation.At the same time,CSFV also depends on the inter-action with host proteins to inhibit the synthesis and secretion of host interferon,regulate host cell apoptosis,autophagy,pyroptosis and inflammatory response,and other life activities to evade the host's natural immunity,thus promoting the further replication of the virus in the host.However,the underlying specific mechanism needs further studying.Here,we summarize the molecular mechanism of CSFV internalization across cell membranes and the challenges of CSF prevention and control,with a view to providing theoretical assistance for CSF purification.

Swine enteric coronaviruses(SeCoVs),including transmissible gastroenteritis virus(TGEV),porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV),porcine deltacoronavirus(PDCoV)and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus(SADS-CoV),are common pathogens that cause acute lethal diarrhea in neonatal piglets.TGEV and PEDV have been circulating among swine for decades with-out effective control.The recent emergence of PDCoV and SADS-CoV are not only highly patho-genic to neonatal piglets,but also pose a risk of cross-species transmission.Despite the availability of many commercial vaccines against TGEV and PEDV,they remain widespread,and there are cur-rently no vaccines available for PDCoV and SADS-CoV.Therefore,it is crucial to elucidate the pathogenesis of SeCoVs.This review describes recent developments in the invasion and immune e-vasion mechanisms of SeCoVs,and attempts to provide references for prevention and control of SeCoVs.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of robot guided balloon tibial osteoplasty for the treatment of Schatzker II and III tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 59 patients admitted from January 2017 to December 2022. According to the surgical method, they were divided into two groups: robot guided percutaneous balloon tibial osteoplasty with "Jail" screw fixation group (study group) and open reduction and internal fixation group (control group). There were 28 cases in the study group, including 13 males and 15 females, with an average age of 44.21±9.70 years. In the study group, 8 cases were diagnosed of Schatzker II and 20 cases of Schatzker III. There were 31 cases in the control group, including 16 males and 15 females, with an average age 47.94±13.73 years. In the control group 7 cases were diagnosed of Schatzker II and 24 cases of Schatzker III. Between the two groups, demographics, surgical challenges and outcomes were all compared, including age, fracture classification, fracture collapse volume, surgical time, intraoperative bone graft volume, incision length, postoperative drainage volume, length of stay, fracture reduction quality (proportion of collapse area reduction volume evaluated by postoperative CT, Rasmussen radiology score), knee joint hospital for special surgery (HSS) score at 6 months after surgery, pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at before and 3 days after surgery and the final follow-up, complications.Results:All the patients were followed up for 116.92±6.08 months. The surgical time was 88.50±21.32 min in the study group, and 65.16±18.10 min in the control group with significant difference ( t=4.55, P<0.001). Between the study group and the control group, the intraoperative bone graft volume (3.04±1.15 cm 3vs. 5.87±2.03 cm 3), incision length (3.34±1.02 cm vs. 17.65±2.33 cm), postoperative drainage volume (13.04±19.45 ml vs. 85.16±41.54 ml), and length of hospital stay (11.64±3.07 d vs. 18.77±4.78 d) were all found to be significantly differently ( t=-6.69, P<0.001; t=-31.02, P<0.001; t=-8.67, P<0.001; t=-7.06, P<0.001). After 6 months of surgery, Rasmussen's radiological score was 17.32 ± 1.06 in the study group and 17.58 ± 0.85 in the control group with no significant difference ( t=-1.04, P=0.150). After 6 months of surgery, the HSS score in the study group was 93.75±2.22, and 92.71±2.19 in the control group with significant difference ( t=1.81, P=0.038). The VAS score between the study and control group was 7.04±0.92 vs. 7.00±0.97 before the surgery, 2.71±0.85 vs. 4.74±0.93 three days after surgery, and 0.21±0.49 vs. 0.26±0.51 at the final follow-up with significant pain relief at either three days or the final follow up within either group ( F=1884.53, P<0.001; F=55.98, P<0.001). Significant difference between the two groups was found at three days after the surgery ( t=-10.28, P<0.001), while no significant difference was found before surgery or at the final follow-up ( P>0.05). The wounds in the study group healed well, while in the control group, 4 cases had poor wound healing. One case in the study group had intraoperative balloon rupture and contrast agent leakage, while two cases had bone graft material leakage. There were no intraoperative complications in the open group. Conclusion:Robot guided balloon tibial osteoplasty for Schatzker II and III tibial plateau fractures had achieved satisfactory reduction, minimal bleeding, minimal trauma, short hospital stay, good knee joint function recovery, and satisfactory clinical results. However, attention should be paid to the issue of contrast agent leakage caused by balloon rupture.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of 3D printed osteotomy guide plate combined with "Jail" screw technique in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures involving external posterior condylar collapse.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2021, 41 patients (22 males and 19 females) with tibial plateau fractures involving external posterior condylar collapse were treated with 3D printed osteotomy guide plate combined with "Jail" screw technique and followed up. The age was 47.4±11.5 years (range, 22-69 years). According to Schatzker fracture type, 18 cases were type IV, 14 cases were type V and 9 cases were type VI. All fractures were closed, and 12 of them were complicated with lateral meniscus injury, but none of them were complicated with nerve and vascular injury. The time from injury to operation was 7.2±3.4 d (range, 4-17 d). All patients underwent 3D CT scanning and digital modeling before operation. According to the modeling results, a 1∶1 solid size fracture model was made by 3D printing, and the osteotomy guide plate and the "Jail" screw preset guide plate were designed. During the operation, the tibial lateral condyle osteotomy was performed with customized osteotomy guide plate. After reduction, the fixation of the fracture was performed with the preset guide plate using "Jail" screw. Postoperative fracture reduction was evaluated according to Rasmussen score, and knee function was evaluated by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score.Results:All the 41 patients were followed up for 15.2±5.8 months (range, 6-26 months). Immediate postoperative radiographs showed good fracture reduction, and the average healing time was 14.1±1.2 weeks (range, 12-17 weeks). One year after operation, the Rasmussen score of knee joint was 17.4±1.6 points (range, 13-19 points), of which 31 cases were excellent, 8 cases were good, and 2 cases were fair, with an excellent/good rate of 95% (39/41). HSS scores was 87.3±5.6 points (range, 68-95 points), including 30 excellent cases, 10 good cases and 1 fair case, with an excellent/good rate of 98% (40/41). The range of motion of knee joint was 126.8°±3.8°. At the last follow-up, no serious complications such as common peroneal nerve injury, popliteal vascular injury, postoperative infection, or internal fixation failure occurred.Conclusion:3D printed osteotomy guide plate combined with "Jail" nail placement technique is an effective method for tibial plateau fractures involving external posterior condylar collapse, and the postoperative treatment results are satisfactory. The use of customized osteotomy guide plate is more accurate and less damaging. The use of "Jail" screw preset guide plate can ensure more accurate screw placement.

Objective:To compare the short-term therapeutic effects of Gamma 3 U-Blade system and Gamma 3 nails in the treatment of elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:The data of 70 elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been admitted to the Department of Orthopedics, Wuhan Fourth Hospital from June 2018 to December 2020. They were divided into 2 groups according to their treatments. In the U-Blade group of 35 cases subjected to fixation with Gamma 3 U-Blade system, there were 14 males and 21 females with an age of (77.7 ± 4.8) years; in the Gamma 3 nail group of 35 cases subjected to fixation with Gamma 3 nails, there were 14 males and 21 females with an age of (79.3 ± 5.2) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, apex distance, fracture union time, postoperative complications, timed up and go (TUG) at postoperative 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months, and hip function at postoperative 9 months.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference either in operation time, intraoperative blood loss or apex distance between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The fracture union time [(12.0 ± 0.2) weeks] and Harris hip score at postoperative 9 months [90 (90, 91)] in the U-Blade group were insignificantly different from those in the Gamma 3 nail group [(12.0 ± 0.3) weeks and 91 (89, 91)] ( P>0.05). The rate of implant-related complications in the U-Blade group [0% (0/35)] was significantly lower than that in the Gamma 3 nail group [17.1% (6/35)] and the TUGs at postoperative 2 weeks and 3 months [(80.2 ± 3.6) s and 45 (43, 49) s] in the former were significantly shorter than those in the latter [(89.3 ± 4.2) s and 56 (54, 59) s] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture, compared with traditional Gamma 3 nails, Gamma 3 U-Blade system can reduce implant-related complications and facilitate early recovery of walking ability.

Objective::To explore the risk factors and pregnancy outcomes in women with a history of cesarean section complicated by placenta accreta (PA).Methods::This case-control study included clinical data from singleton mothers with a history of cesarean section in 11 public tertiary hospitals in seven provinces of China between January 2017 and December 2017. According to the intraoperative findings after delivery, the study population was divided into PA and non-PA groups. We compared the pregnancy outcomes between the two groups, used multivariate logistic regression to analyze the risk factors for placental accreta.Results::For this study we included 11,074 pregnant women with a history of cesarean section; and of these, 869 cases were in the PA group and 10,205 cases were in the non-PA group. Compared with the non-PA group, the probability of postpartum hemorrhage (236/10,205, 2.31% vs. 283/869, 32.57%), severe postpartum hemorrhage (89/10,205, 0.87% vs. 186/869, 21.75%), diffuse intravascular coagulation (3/10,205, 0.03% vs. 4/869, 0.46%), puerperal infection (33/10,205, 0.32% vs. 12/869, 1.38%), intraoperative bladder injury (1/10,205, 0.01% vs. 16/869, 1.84%), hysterectomy (130/10,205, 1.27% vs. 59/869, 6.79%), and blood transfusion (328/10,205,3.21 % vs. 231/869,26.58%) was significantly increased in the PA group ( P < 0.05). At the same time, the neonatal birth weight (3250.00 (2950.00-3520.00) g vs. 2920.00 (2530.00-3250.00) g), the probability of neonatal comorbidities (245/10,205, 2.40% vs. 61/869, 7.02%), and the rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission (817/10,205, 8.01% vs. 210/869, 24.17%) also increased significantly ( P < 0.05). Weight (odds ratio ( OR)= 1.03, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.01-1.05)), parity ( OR= 1.18, 95% CI: 1.03-1.34), number of miscarriages ( OR= 1.31, 95% CI: 1.17-1.47), number of previous cesarean sections ( OR= 2.57, 95% CI: 2.02-3.26), history of premature rupture of membrane ( OR= 1.61, 95% CI: 1.32-1.96), previous cesarean-section transverse incisions ( OR= 1.38, 95% CI: 1.12-1.69), history of placenta previa ( OR= 2.44,95% CI: 1.50-3.96), and the combination of prenatal hemorrhage ( OR= 9.95,95% CI: 8.42-11.75) and placenta previa ( OR= 91.74, 95% CI: 74.11-113.56) were all independent risk factors for PA. Conclusion::There was an increased risk of adverse outcomes in pregnancies complicated by PA in women with a history of cesarean section, and this required close clinical attention. Weight before pregnancy, parity, number of miscarriages, number of previous cesarean sections, history of premature rupture of membranes, past transverse incisions in cesarean sections, a history of placenta previa, prenatal hemorrhage, and placenta previa were independent risk factors for pregnancies complicated with PA in women with a history of cesarean section. These independent risk factors showed a high value in predicting the risk for placentab accreta in pregnancies of women with a history of cesarean section.
