In recent years, information systems have become an important tool for hospitals to enhance the quality of medical services. The consistent transmission of test results is crucial for the safety of clinical diagnosis and treatment. In 2019, Zhejiang Hospital initiated a practice for consistency verification of test results based on information transmission. This practice clarified data sources, intermediate storage points, and data destinations by sorting out the flow of test result information; established a collaborative mode led by the department of clinical laboratory, involving personnel from the information center, software engineers, and clinical medical staff; refined the verification content and its elements to make the verification more comprehensive; conducted risk assessments and advanced verification processes to control the occurrence of risks from the source of data. By conducting this verification, the hospital actively identified and evaluated potential risks and existing problems, and took targeted improvement measures to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the transmission of test results. As of 2024, the practice covered all information systems involved in the transmission of test result information in the hospital, incorporated 711 test items, with the verification content increasing from 4 to 11 items, achieving significant outcomes and providing references for other hospitals to improve the consistency verification of test results.

Background Arsenic is an environmentally harmful substance that causes hepatic insulin resistance and liver damage, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective To explore whether the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is involved in insulin resistance in HepG2 cells after arsenic exposure through the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) / glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) pathway. Methods Cell viability was determined using cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) and an appropriate NaAsO₂ infection dose was determined. A cellular arsenic exposure model of HepG2 cells was established by four concentrations of NaAsO₂ solution for 24 h (the experiment was divided into four groups: 0, 2, 4, and 8 μmol·L⁻¹); HepG2 cells were firstly treated with pcDNA3.1-IGF2BP2 and pcDNA3.1-NC respectively for 6 h, then with 8 μmol·L⁻¹ NaAsO₂ for 24 h to establish a IGF2BP2 overexpression cell model (the experiment was divided into 4 groups: control, NaAsO₂, NaAsO₂+pcDNA3.1-IGF2BP2, and NaAsO₂+pcDNA3.1-NC); finally the cells were subject to 100 nmol·L⁻¹ insulin stimulation for 30 min. Glycogen and glucose in HepG2 cells were determined by glycogen and glucose assay kits; mRNA expression levels of IGF2BP2 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR; protein expression levels of IGF2BP2, PPAR-γ, and GLUT4 in HepG2 were detected by Western blot (WB); and the binding of IGF2BP2 to PPAR-γ and PPAR-γ to GLUT4 was verified by co-immunoprecipitation (CO-IP) experiment. Results The results of CCK8 experiment showed a dose-effect relationship between NaAsO₂ concentration and cell viability. When the concentration of NaAsO₂ was ≥4 μmol·L⁻¹ , the cell viabilities were lower than that of the control group (P <0.05). With the increasing dose of NaAsO₂ infection, reduced glucose consumption and glycogen levels in HepG2 cells were found in the 2, 4, and 8 μmol·L⁻¹ NaAsO₂ treatment groups compared to the control group (P <0.05). The difference between the mRNA expression level of IGF2BP2 in the HepG2 cells treated with 4 or 8 μmol L⁻¹ NaAsO₂ and the control group was significant (P <0.05). In the IGF2BP2 overexpression cell model, compared with the control group, glucose consumption and glycogen levels were lowered in the NaAsO₂ group (P <0.05), the mRNA expression level of IGF2BP2 and the protein expression levels of IGF2BP2, PPAR-γ, and GLUT4 in the cell membrane were all decreased (P <0.05). Compared with the NaAsO₂ group, the glucose consumption and glycogen levels were increased in the NaAsO₂+pcDNA3.1-IGF2BP2 group (P <0.05), and the mRNA expression level of IGF2BP2 and the protein expression levels of IGF2BP2, PPAR-γ, and GLUT4 in the cell membrane were all increased (P <0.05). The results of CO-IP experiments showed that IGF2BP2 interacted with PPAR-γ as well as PPAR-γ with GLUT4 protein. Conclusion IGF2BP2 is involved in arsenic exposure-induced insulin resistance in HepG2 cells by acting on the PPAR-γ/GLUT4 pathway.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of cannulated screw internal fixation combined with quadratus femoris bone flap with preservation of the posterior superior retinaculum and cannulated screw internal fixation alone in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 83 young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fracture admitted to the 920th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2018 to January 2023, including 56 males and 27 females, aged 28-55 years [(42.7±3.2)years]. According to Garden classification, the fractures were classified as type III in 22 patients and type IV in 61. Based on Pauwels classification, the fractures were classified as type I in 15 patients, type II in 38 and type III in 30. Forty patients were treated with cannulated screw internal fixation combined with modified quadratus femoris bone flap (cannulated screw combined with bone flap group) and 43 with cannulated screw internal fixation alone (cannulated screw group). The two groups were compared in terms of the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, time to weight-bearing, length of hospital stay, and wound healing. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and Harris hip function scores at 1, 3, 6, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The postoperative complication rate was detected.Results:All the patients were followed up for 20-70 months [(40.0±1.2)months]. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were (105.2±2.7)minutes and (100.6±16.3)ml in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, which were longer or more than (92.4±4.7)minutes and (92.5±14.6)ml in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). The time to weight-bearing was (12.1±1.4)weeks in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, shorter than (23.6±1.2)weeks in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). The incisions in both groups were healed by first intention. At 1 month after surgery, no statistically significant difference was observed in VAS scores between the two groups ( P>0.05); at 3, 6, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the VAS scores were (6.6±0.2)points, (4.5±0.3)points, (3.2±0.5)points, and (2.6±0.4)points in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, lower than (7.0±0.1)points, (5.2±0.2)points, (3.9±0.4)points, and (3.3±0.1)points in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At 1 and 3 months after surgery, no statistically significant difference was observed in the Harris hip function scores between the two groups ( P>0.05); at 6, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the Harris hip function scores were (82.2±1.7)points, (90.0±1.4)points, and (91.6±1.0)points in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, higher than (75.2±1.7)points, (83.4±1.9)points, and (85.2±0.7)points in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, the Harris hip function was rated excellent in 32 patients, good in 5, and fair in 3, with an excellent and good rate of 92.5%, while in the cannulated screw group, the Harris hip function was rated excellent in 20 patients, good in 13, and fair in 10, with an excellent and good rate of 76.7% ( P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate was 5.0% (2/40) in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, significantly lower than 23.2% (10/43) in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with cannulated screw internal fixation alone, cannulated screw internal fixation combined with quadratus femoris bone flap with preservation of the posterior superior retinaculum has the advantages of earlier weight-bearing, less pain, better recovery of hip joint function, and lower incidence of postoperative complications in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients, despite longer operation time and more intraoperative blood loss.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective To investigate the correlation between glycemic variability metrics and the risk of diabetic foot(DF)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)utilizing flash glucose monitoring(FGM)tech-nology.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 233 hospitalized patients with T2DM,with or without DF,who were treated in the Department of Endocrinology at Lianyungang First People's Hospital from January 2021 to May 2022 and monitored using FGM.Patients were categorized into a non-DF group(n=147)and a DF group(n=86)based on the presence of DF.The study compared general clinical characteristics,biochemical parameters,and glycemic variability metrics between the two groups and performed subgroup analyses.Binary logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with the risk of DF,while receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were utilized to assess the predictive value of glycemic variability metrics for DF.Results Compared with the non-DF group,patients in the DF group exhibited significantly longer disease duration,higher body mass index(BMI),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio(UACR),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),serum uric acid(SUA),mean amplitude of glycemic excursions(MAGE),coefficient of variation(CV),mean of daily differences(MODD),and mean blood glucose(MBG),but lower fasting C-peptide(FCP),fasting insulin(FINS),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and time in range(TIR),with statistically signifi-cant differences(P<0.05).Subgroup analysis revealed that TIR was associated with the incidence of DF and diabetic retinopathy(DR).Binary logistic regression analysis identified HbA1c,MAGE,MODD,and MBG as risk factors for DF,while TIR was a protective factor(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve(AUC)for predicting DF using HbA1c,TIR,MAGE,MODD,MBG,and their combination were 0.646,0.850,0.868,0.764,0.619,and 0.967,respectively,indicating superior performance of the combined prediction model.Conclusions HbA1c,TIR,MAGE,MODD,and MBG are critical factors associated with the development of DF in patients with T2DM.Targeted early interventions aimed at optimizing these glycemic variability indicators may effectively reduce the incidence of DF.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and risk factors associated with postoperative deep vein thrombosis(DVT)of the lower extremities in patients undergoing surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 298 patients who were hospitalized for lumbar degenerative diseases and underwent lumbar spine surgery treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from October 1,2022 to April 15,2023.Patients were divided into DVT group(n=71)and non-DVT group(n=227)according to whether DVT of the lower limbs occurred within 1 week postoperatively.The incidence and distribution characteristics of postoperative DVT were analyzed.Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for DVT,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to determine cut-off values for relevant risk factors.Results A total of 298 patients were included,among whom 159 were males(53.4%)and 139 were females(46.6%),with an average age of(64.5±9.8)years.DVT occurred in 71 patients,and the incidence of lower extremity DVT was 23.8%.In the DVT group,there were 49 cases(69.0%)of intermuscular vein thrombosis,and 22 cases of other types of thrombosis(7 cases of peroneal vein thrombosis,4 cases of posterior tibial vein thrombosis,3 cases of common femoral vein thrombosis,1 case of anterior tibial vein thrombosis,and 7 cases of multiple thrombosis);58 cases(81.7%)had DVT in one lower extremity,and 13 cases(18.3%)had DVT in both lower extremities.Univariate analysis results showed that age,body mass index(BMI),length of hospital stay,history of hypertension,operative time,and intraoperative blood loss were associated with the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases(P<0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis results indicated that older age(OR=1.079,P<0.01),higher BMI(OR=1.130,P=0.01),history of hypertension(OR=2.992,P<0.01),and larger intraoperative blood loss(OR=1.002,P=0.03)were independent risk factors for the occurrence of lower extremity DVT.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that patients with age>58.5 years,BMI>24.01 kg/m2,history of hypertension,and intraoperative blood loss>550 ml had a significantly increased risk of postoperative lower limb DVT.Conclusions The incidence of lower extremity DVT after surgery for lumbar degenerative disease is high,and intermuscular venous thrombosis is more common.Older age,higher BMI,history of hypertension,and larger intraoperative blood loss are independent risk factors for the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after surgery.

Objective The study aims to investigate the impact of microRNA-874-3p(miR-874-3p)regulation of plakophilin 3(PKP3)on the malignant biological behavior of lung adenocarcinoma cells and its underlying mechanism.Methods Immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry were used to detect the expression of PKP3 in lung adenocarcinoma tissue microarray and lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 cells respectively,and the relationship between PKP3 and clinicopathological features of lung adenocarcinoma patients was analyzed.Select lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549,the experiment was divided into A549 cell group(blank control group),miR-NC group(transfected with miR-NC)and miR-mimics group(transfected with miR-874-3p mimics),sh-NC group(control group transfected with PKP3 silencing plasmid),sh-PKP3 group(transfected with PKP3 silencing plasmid),miR+pcDNA-PKP3 group(transfected with miR-874-3P mimics+pcDNA-PKP3,rescue group)and miR+pcDNA-NC group(transfected with miR-874-3p mimics+pcDNA-NC).The proliferation,invasion,migration and apoptosis of cells in each group were detected.ENCORI database was used to predict the upstream gene of PKP3,and dual luciferase assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between miR-874-3p and PKP3.MAPK/mTOR pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blotting.Results The expression of PKP3 in lung adenocarcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues.The high expression of PKP3 was related to clinical stage,tumor size,and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).Compared with the human normal lung epithelial cells(BEAS-2B),the expression of PKP3 in A549 cells increased significantly,and the expression of miR-874-3p decreased(P＜0.05).Overexpression of miR-874-3p decreased the PKP3 expression level(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,both overexpression of miR-874-3p and silenced PKP3 inhibited the cloning and invasion ability of A549 cells,caused cell cycle arrest,and decreased the expression levels of cyclin dependent kinase 4(CDK4),cyclin D1,cyclin E1 proteins in A549 cells(P＜0.05).The expressions of Bax protein and Caspase-3 protein were up-regulated(P＜0.05),and apoptosis increased.Overexpression of PKP3 could reverse the biological behavior of overexpression of miR-874-3p.Overexpression of miR-874-3p and silencing of PKP3 significantly decreased the expressions of P38 MAPK and mTOR phosphorylated proteins.Conclusion MiR-874-3p can negatively regulate PKP3 expression and inhibit the malignant biological behavior of A549 cells through MAPK/mTOR pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of extracellular vesicles(EVs)derived from synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)patients on angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells,and to preliminarily explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods Synovial fluid samples of knee joint were collected from 20 patients with RA and 20 patients with osteoarthritis(OA)in this study.EVs were purified using ultracentrifugation.The morphology and size of EVs were observed by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis.CD9,CD63,cytochrome c(Cyt-c),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),lysyl oxidase(LOX),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2),tumour necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),transforming growth factor beta1(TGF-β1)in EVs were detected using Western blot.Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)were treated with the EVs.The growth,migration and angiogenesis of HUVEC were observed by CCK8 assay,TranswellTM chamber assay,scratch test and matrigel angiogenesis assay,respectively.The effect of EVs on the PI3K/AKT pathway in HUVEC was assessed using Western blot.Results Both EVs from RA synovial fluid(RA-EVs)and OA synovial fluid(OA-EVs)were cup-shaped,mainly between 30-400 nm in diameter,expressing CD63 and CD9,but not Cyt-c.RA-EVs carried more VEGF,LOX,MMP2,TNF-α and TGF-β1 than OA-EVs.Compared with the OA-EVs intervention,RA-EVs significantly promoted the proliferation,migration,and angiogenesis of HUVECs,as well as upregulated PI3K/AKT phosphorylation.The inhibitor of PI3K suppressed angiogenesis induced by EVs.Conclusion EVs in synovial fluid of RA carried more cytokines and enzymes that related angiogenesis and inflammation.These EVs exert their pro-angiogenic effects by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway,then contributing to the pathological progression of RA.

As the base of the three-tier rural health service network,primary health-care institutions are facing major bottlenecks,such as mismatches with residents'health service needs,shrinking capacity and serious patient losses.The formation of supply and demand service'stickiness'is a key path to promote patient primary care,maintain the sustainable development of the primary health service system,and improve the health of rural residents from a micro perspective,and it is also an important means to address the many challenges of the development of rural primary health care in the new era.Through the case study of X Township Health Center in Qianjiang District,Chongqing,this study found that the health centre was once caught in the difficulties of patient outflow,backward assessment and development restrictions,but in recent years,the institution has turned passivity into initiative,and gradually formed the service'stickiness'between supply and demand by optimizing the service contact process and improving the perceived quality of the residents.The formation of supply and demand'stickiness'is not only conducive to the retention of patients and the enhancement of health management,but also increases the income of primary health care institutions and promotes their sustainable development,which provides valuable practical experience for the transformation and development of primary health care.

Objective Through in vitro experiments,biomechanical data of the transtibial pullout suture(TPS),tendon reconstruction(TR),and tendon reconstruction with suture augmentation(TRS)were collected,so as to evaluate the biomechanical effectiveness of tendon reconstruction for repairing medial meniscus posterior root tear(MMPRT).Methods Eighteen porcine knee joint models were divided into TPS,TR,and TRS groups.Sutures were used to fix the meniscal root in TPS group.Tendons were passed through an incision at the meniscal root in TR group.Tendons were passed through an incision at the meniscal root and secured at tendon-meniscus contact area with additional sutures in TRS group.The sutures and tendons were pulled out through tibial tunnels and fixed at the anteromedial tibia.All groups underwent failure load tests,and ultimate failure load,displacement at failure load,load at clinical failure,stiffness,and failure modes of the samples were recorded.Results The maximum failure load in TPS group was significantly higher than that in TR group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between TPS group and TRS group(P＞0.05).The maximum failure load in TRS group was significantly higher than that in TR group(P＜0.05).The displacement under failure load in TR group and TRS group was significantly lower than that in TPS group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between TR group and TRS group(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the load under clinical failure among the 3 groups(P＞0.05).The stiffness of TRS group was significantly greater than that of TPS group(P＜0.05),but no significant difference was observed between TR group and TPS group,as well as between TR group and TRS group(P＞0.05).All failures were caused by suture or tendon cutting through the meniscus.Conclusions The tendon reconstruction techniques is superior to the TPS in terms of failure displacement and stiffness,while the TRS further enhances the stability of the repair.
