Objective To investigate washing patterns in human simulated body fluids(SBF)by combining high doses of vancomycin,manuperenan and single compound with bone cement.The antibacterial effect of five common bacteria in orthopaedic infections were observed.Methods Vancomycin 2g and meropenem 3g were combined or alone mixed with ordinary bone cement 20g in aseptic operation.Six copies of antibiotic bone cement pellets were made,immersed in SBF,replaced with SBF buffer every 48 hours,sampled every 24 hours 2 μl drops in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),petries of staphylococcus aureus,pseudomonas aeruginosa,E.coli,and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase(ESBL)-positive E.coli were observed for 24 hours and measured the size of the bactericidal rings of the washing fluid at each time point.The antibacterial effect of different ratios of antibiotic bone cement on 5 common orthopedic infections were compared.Results Compound antibiotic group had a better bactericidal effect,and the drug continues to be given for about 30 days.Wancomycin alone could not cover E.coli,ESBL positive E.coli,pseudomonas aeruginosa,and melopicillin alone had only a partial mild bactericidal effect on MRSA around 3 to 6 days after use.The effect on staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa lasted only about 15 days.Conclusion The combined antibiotic bone cement has a more comprehensive,longer duration and better bactericidal effect than the alone antibiotic bone cement.

Objective Fasting hypometabolism regulation technology has broad application potential in long-term space flight and survival in extreme extraterrestrial environments.In-depth research on the substrate conversion of energy metabolism and the formation of new steady states under fasting hypometabolism will provide theoretical basis and experimental data support for formulating effective prolonged fasting application mode.Methods 30 SD rats were randomly divided into control group and fasting group(fasting for 1,2,3,and 5 days).Blood biochemical examination,qRT-PCR,and western blotting were performed to analyze the body weight,blood biochemistry,and expression changes of genes and proteins related to glucose and lipid metabolism during different fasting periods.Results Prolonged fasting significantly reduced the body weight,blood glucose,and triglyceride levels of rats;increased the blood ketone level,and replaced glucose as the main energy substance in the body.There are temporal and tissue-specific changes as a whole.Hepatic and renal gluconeogenesis play major roles respectively during different fasting periods.As the fasting time prolongs,the level of hepatic gluconeogenesis gradually decreases,the content of FFA in the blood increases,the expression level of genes related to fat synthesis decreases,fatty acid oxidation is enhanced,and the expression level of the key gene HMGCS2 for ketone body generation increases.Conclusion During prolonged fasting,there is a significant conversion of glucose-ketone energy supply substrates,and a new steady state of energy metabolism mainly supplied by ketone bodies is formed within 2-5 days of fasting.The body maintains a low metabolic state by regulating changes in key genes in pathways such as glucose and lipid metabolism.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of endoscopic-assisted median nerve decompression with one-stage extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon transfer for reconstruction of thumb abduction in patients with severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS: The clinical data of 12 patients with severe CTS who met the selection criteria between December 2019 and December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 2 males and 10 females with an average age of 55.4 years ranging from 35 to 67 years. The symptom duration of CTS was 12-120 months (mean, 48.7 months) and the thenar muscle atrophy duration was 6-48 months (mean, 13.4 months). The median nerve was released with the help of endoscope, and the EIP tendon was transferred to reconstruct the abduction function of the thumb. The operation time and complications were recorded. Two-point discrimination, palmar abduction angle of the thumb, radial abduction angle of the thumb, and pinch force of the thumb were measured and compared before operation and at last follow-up, and the effectiveness was evaluated by Kapandji score and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. The satisfaction of the operation was evaluated at last follow-up. RESULTS: All surgeries were successfully completed with a mean operation time of 54 minutes (range, 45-68 minutes). All patients were followed up 6-50 months, with an average of 15.3 months. There was no complications such as wound infection, scar pain of wrist, or tendon rupture of transposition, and there were 3 cases of mild limitation of finger extension in the donor site of index finger. At last follow-up, two-point discrimination, palmar abduction angle of the thumb, radial abduction angle of the thumb, Kapandji score, and DASH score were significantly better than those before operation ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in thumb pinch force between pre- and post-operation ( P>0.05). The evaluation of surgical satisfaction showed that 7 cases were very satisfied and 5 cases were satisfied. CONCLUSION The combination of endoscopic-assisted median nerve decompression and one-stage EIP tendon transfer effectively improves hand function and quality of life in patients with severe CTS by restoring thumb abduction and alleviating neurological symptoms.

OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of macrophage-mediated inflammation and tissue injury in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). METHODS: Skin tissue samples were collected from patients with DFU and with non-DFU. A total of 79 272 high-quality cell transcriptomes were obtained using single-cell RNA sequencing. An unbiased clustering approach was employed to identify cell subpopulations. Seurat functions were used to identify differentially expressed genes between DFU and non-DFU groups, and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was used to reveal gene function. Furthermore, cell-cell communication network construction and ligand-receptor interaction analysis were performed to reveal the mechanisms underlying cellular interactions and signaling regulation in the DFU microenvironment from multiple perspectives. RESULTS: The results revealed a significant expansion of myeloid cells in DFU tissues, alongside a marked reduction in structural cells such as endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. Major cell types underwent functional reprogramming, characterized by immune activation and impaired tissue remodeling. Specifically, macrophages in DFU skin tissues exhibited a shift toward a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype, with upregulation of genes associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. Cell communication analysis further demonstrated that M1 macrophages served as both primary signal receivers and influencers in the COMPLEMENT pathway mediated communication network, and as key signal senders and mediators in the secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) pathway mediated communication network, actively shaping the inflammatory microenvironment. Key ligand-receptor interactions driving macrophage signaling were identified, including C3-(ITGAM+ITGB2) and SPP1-CD44. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a comprehensive single-cell atlas of DFU, revealing the role of macrophage-driven cellular networks in chronic inflammation and impaired healing. These findings may offer potential novel therapeutic targets for DFU treatment.

Objective:To construct an exercise management program for inpatients with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) based on the health action process approach (HAPA) .Methods:Using HAPA as a theoretical basis, the literature on exercise management in PMOP inpatients was systematically searched and relevant evidence was extracted. On this basis, the first draft of an exercise management program for PMOP inpatients was constructed by combining the results of semi-structured interviews with 16 PMOP inpatients. The first draft of the exercise management program for PMOP inpatients was revised after two rounds of Delphi expert consultation.Results:A total of 15 experts were invited for two rounds of expert consultation. In the two rounds of consultation, the effective recovery rate of the questionnaire was 100.0% (15/15), the expert authority coefficient was 0.880, and Kendall's harmony coefficient was 0.156 and 0.208, respectively ( P<0.01). The final exercise management program for PMOP inpatients consisted of three first-level items, nine second-level items, and 48 third-level items. Conclusions:The exercise management program for PMOP inpatients is scientific and comprehensive, which can provide a reference for nursing staff.
