Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, exploring the mechanism of CVDs and critical regulatory factors is of great significance for promoting heart repair, reversing cardiac remodeling, and reducing adverse cardiovascular events. Recently, significant progress has been made in understanding the function of protein kinases and their interactions with other regulatory proteins in myocardial biology. Protein kinases are positioned as critical regulators at the intersection of multiple signals and coordinate nearly every aspect of myocardial responses, regulating contractility, metabolism, transcription, and cellular death. Equally, reconstructing the disrupted protein kinases regulatory network will help reverse pathological progress and stimulate cardiac repair. This review summarizes recent researches concerning the function of protein kinases in CVDs, discusses their promising clinical applications, and explores potential targets for future treatments.

Objective:To explore surgical treatment strategies and prognosis of early-stage nail apparatus melanoma.Methods:A total of 115 patients with early-stage nail apparatus melanoma receiving surgical treatment were collected from Department of Dermatology, Xijing Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University from July 2011 to December 2019, and surgical treatment strategies and outcomes were analyzed retrospectively.Results:According to the modified ABCDEF criteria and clinical manifestations (such as deformation of the nail plate, ulcers, nodules) , 73 patients with early-stage nail apparatus melanoma received extended surgical resection based on the resection principles of melanoma in situ, 22 based on the resection principles of stage I and II melanoma, 20 based on the resection principles of stage I and II melanoma with invasion risks. During the follow-up period of 6 months to 9 years, there was no recurrence of the primary tumors in any patients; no abnormalities were observed by the ultrasound examination of lymph nodes in 101 patients; metastases occurred in 2 patients receiving finger amputation, 1 of whom died; 12 patients were lost to follow-up. Conclusion:To select extended surgical resection strategies for early-stage nail apparatus melanoma based on clinical manifestations, can ensure adequate treatment and preserve the normal function of the extremities to the greatest extent without recurrence of the primary tumors.

Objective:To investigate the anatomy and therapeutic effecton skin soft tissue defect at the great toe of perforator flap from distal deep branch of medial plantar artery.Methods:The arteries of one adult foot specimens were filled with red latex and vascular anatomy was performed. Branch distribution and anastomosis of medial plantar artery and dorsal foot artery were observed. The clinical data of 12 patients with skin soft tissue defect at the great toe repaired by retrograde perforator flap from distal deepbranch of medial plantar artery from September 2016 to September 2019 in Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University was selected, and the donor sites were repaired with skin grafts. The flap survival and complications were observed.Results:Anatomy result demonstrated that deep branch of the medial plantar artery was direct continuation of the medial plantar artery. It traveled along between short toe flexor muscle and abductor hallucis muscle, and gave out several perforators. The proximal perforators passed through the abductor hallucis muscle, and anastomosed with superficial branch of medial plantar artery, anterior medial malleolus artery, and medial tarsal artery. Three perforators were issued at the proximal end of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, namely articular perforator, cutaneous perforator, and communication branch. The cutaneous perforator was main blood supply source for perforator flap from distal deep branch of medial plantar artery.A total of 12 skin flaps were harvested from 12 patients, with an area from 4.5 cm×3.0 cm to 9.0 cm×6.0 cm. Postsurgery dark purple and a few blisters occurred in three flaps, and the sutures at the pedicle were immediately removed, and the flap was coated with antibiotic ointment to keep it moist, then the flap color gradually improved after postsurgery 5 days.12 skin flaps eventually survived completely. All patients were followed up by telephone for 2-12 months. The flap color, texture and appearance were excellent. The traumatic feet walked normally.Conclusions:The perforator flap from distal deep branch of medial plantar artery has reliable blood supply for retrograde repairing small and medium skin defect at the great toe of distal the first metatarsophalangeal joint, with simple operation, less trauma, and positive postoperative effect.

OBJECTIVETo detect potential mutation in a family affected with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II (CDA II).

METHODSTargeted sequence capture and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to analyze the exons and exon-intron boundaries of the SEC23B gene in a clinically suspected CDA II patient. Genotypes of the relatives were validated by Sanger sequencing. Potential impact of amino acid substitution on the structure and function of SEC23B protein was predicted with MutationTaster and PolyPhen-2. The protein structure was predicted with SWISS-MODEL software.

RESULTSThe proband was found to harbor double heterozygous mutations of the SEC23B gene, c.1727T>C (p.F576S) and c.1831C>T (p.R611W), which resulted in amino acid substitutions p.F576S and p.R611W. Both mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The sister of the proband was found to have carried c.1727T>C (p.F576S), while her father and son have carried c.1831C>T (p.R611W) mutation. In addition, the proband was detected to have carried c.211C>T (p.R71X) of the HFE gene, which resulted in substitution of arginine by a stop codon. The impact of above mutations on the structure or function of protein was predicted to be harmful. Splenectomy and iron chelation therapy have achieved effective improvement of anemia and iron overload. Computer simulation suggested that the mutations have altered the 3D structure of the SEC23B protein.

CONCLUSIONThe novel compound mutations of c.1727T>C and c.1831C>T of the SEC23B gene probably underlie the CDA II in the family, and there is a strong correlation between the genotype and phenotype.
