BACKGROUND:Autologous bone,allogeneic bone or artificial bone has been used to promote bone defect repair in the clinic,but the rate of non-healing is still high.The key is to ignore the importance of periosteum in the bone healing process.In the early stage of the project,the project team constructed an electrospinning membrane loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor to highly simulate the intramembranous osteogenesis of natural periosteum at the bone defect site,which promoted bone regeneration to a certain extent.However,the injured area often faces the dilemma of severe inflammatory response mediated by macrophages and lack of seed cells,resulting in the risk of inactivation or diffusion of delivered biological factors.Therefore,it is necessary to further optimize and coordinate the immune regulation and angiogenesis functions of biomimetic periosteum to promote bone repair.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the physicochemical properties of stem cell-engineered bionic periosteum and its role in regulating the inflammatory microenvironment to promote bone repair.METHODS:By combining L-polylactic acid-based microsol electrospinning,type Ⅰ collagen self-assembly and gel stem cell transplantation technology,a bionic periosteum(M@C-B)was constructed,in which the core layer loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor and the shell layer delivered bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to regulate the immune microenvironment of bone defects.The physicochemical properties of the periosteum were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.A co-culture system was established between the bionic periosteum and macrophages,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells to explore immune regulation and in vitro osteogenic and angiogenic abilities.Finally,the osteogenic properties of the stem cell engineered bionic periosteum were further verified in a rat femoral condyle defect model.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Transmission electron microscopy results showed that the micro-sol electrospinning(MS)formed a distinct core-shell structure.Scanning electron microscopy indicated that after the assembly of the collagen-l artificial periosteum(M@C)on the surface of the vascular endothelial growth factor-loaded micro-sol,a distinct"spider web-like"fibrous structure was deposited.Infrared spectroscopy further confirmed the successful self-assembly of collagen-l.Release experiments demonstrated that the M@C group mitigated the burst release phenomenon compared to the MS group,maintaining internal vascular endothelial growth factor activity and sustained release.(2)Live/dead cell staining and CCK-8 assay showed that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells proliferated well and survived on three types of artificial periosteum:MS,purely aligned poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)surface self-assembled collagen-l artificial periosteum(PLLA@C),and vascular endothelial growth factor-loaded micro-sol fiber surface self-assembled collagen-l-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells artificial periosteum(M@C-B).Among them,the M@C-B group had the highest number of live cells and the fastest proliferation rate.(3)Alkaline phosphatase staining,alizarin red staining,and osteopontin immunofluorescence staining showed that the PLLA@C and M@C-B groups significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Angiogenesis experiments demonstrated that the vascular endothelial growth factor-loaded groups(MS and M@C-B)had longer blood vessel lengths and more reticular vascular-like structures with more cross-linked nodes,with the M@C-B group being the most prominent.(4)Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry showed that artificial periosteum in the M@C-B group significantly inhibited the pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype and promoted the polarization of macrophages towards the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.(5)In vivo studies further confirmed that the M@C-B group showed superior bone mineral density,trabecular thickness,relative bone volume,and trabecular spacing compared to other groups.(6)These results indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-engineered artificial periosteum,through the rapid regulation of the bone defect immune microenvironment by the collagen-l-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells outer phase and the sustained release of vascular endothelial growth factor by the micro-sol electrospinning core-shell structure of the inner phase,synergistically promotes bone healing.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of tendon-management and patella-movement therapeutic manipulation in the treatment of patellofemoral arthritis based on imaging evaluation. MethodsTotally 126 patients with patellofemoral arthritis were recruited and divided into a treatment group and a control group according to a randomised numerical table. The control group received routine sodium hyaluronate injection once a week for a total of 5 times； the treatment group received tendon-management and patella-movement therapeutic manipulation three times a week for four weeks. We compared the Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index score （WOMAC）， visual analogue scale （VAS）， imaging indicators including patellar external displacement distance， patellofemoral fit angle， lateral patellofemoral angle， and patellofemoral index， and overall effectiveness evaluation between the two groups before and one week after treatment. ResultsThe total effective rate of the treatment group （45/54， 83.33%） was significantly higher than that of the control group （36/54， 66.67%，P＜0.05）. One week after the end of treatment， the VAS scores and WOMAC scores of both groups were lower than those before treatment in the same group （P＜0.01）， and the patellofemoral index and patellofemoral fit angle of the treatment group decreased compared with that of the control group （P＜0.05）. Compared with the pre-treatment， the distance of patellar external displacement， patellofemoral index， and patellofemoral fit angle decreased in the treatment group 1 week after the end of treatment， and the patellofemoral fit angle decreased in the control group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe therapeutic manipulation of tendon-management and patella-movement can correct the degree of patellar external displacement， alleviate joint pain symptoms， improve joint function， and achieve the goal of treating patellofemoral arthritis.

Objective To explore the clinical and pathological characteristics and oncological outcomes of clear cell borderline ovarian tumor(CCBOT),and provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in the future.Methods A total of 23 CCBOT patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from May 2011 to Aug 2022 were enrolled,and the clinical information of 19 CCBOT patients in the Ricotta's cohort was integrated.The clinical pathological characteristics and oncological outcomes of these 42 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results This study enrolled 42 CCBOT patients,including 23 from our cohort and 19 from the Ricotta G's cohort.Compared with the Ricotta's cohort,the proportion of CCBOT patients with endometriosis in our cohort(34.8%)was significantly higher than that in the Ricotta's cohort(5.3%)(P<0.05).In our cohort,22 patients had information on intraoperative frozen section evaluation,and the accuracy of intraoperative frozen section evaluation was 50%(11/22).The other 50%(11/22)of patients were underestimated by intraoperative frozen section evaluation.The merged cohort indicated that the median age of the patients was 60 years old,occuring more common in postmenopausal women(66.7%).Most cases presented with pelvic masses(59.5%)and abdominal pain or distension(19.0%).This disease mostly involved unilateral ovaries(90.5%).Information on preoperative tumor markers was largely missed,making it difficult to draw an accurate evaluation for them.Ten cases(23.8%)underwent fertility sparing surgery,and 32 cases(76.2%)underwent radical surgery.The pathologic report indicated that all patients were stage I patients and 21.4%patients had endometriosis.Among these patients,32 patients underwent total hysterectomy,of which 10(31.3%)had concurrent endometrial lesions.The median follow-up time was 68 months,with a minimum follow-up of one month and a maximum follow-up of 231 months,and no recurrence or death was observed.Conclusion CCBOT patients usually had an good prognosis with a low recurrence rate.Fertility sparing surgery was safe and feasible,but attention should be paid to exclude concurrent endometrial lesions.Given the rarity of CCBOT,future multicenter prospective studies are needed to better elucidate the clinical pathological features and prognosis of patients with CCBOT.

AIM To optimize the extraction process for total polyphenols from Conioselinum vaginatu(Spreng.)Thell.,make component analysis,and evaluate their anti-oxidant,hypoglycemic activities.METHODS The effects of ultrasound,enzymatic hydrolysis,acid hydrolysis,alcohol extraction and hydrolysis processes on the extraction quantity of total polyphenols were investigated,respectively.With extraction temperature,extraction time,ethanol concetration and liquid-solid ratio as influencing factors,extraction quantity of total polyphenols as an evaluation index,the extraction process was optimized by response surface method.HPLC was adopted in the identification of polyphenolic composition and determination of their contents.Subsequently,total polyphenols' scavenging capacities on DPPH,ABTS,OH free radicals,total reducing power and inhibitory capacity on α-glucosidase were determined.RESULTS The highest extraction quantity of total polyphenols was observable when extraction process was employed.The optimal conditions were determined to be 62 ℃ for extraction temperature,54 min for extraction time,69％for ethanol concentration,and 50∶1 for liquid-solid ratio,the extraction quantity of total polyphenols was(9.51±0.2)mg GAE/g.Seven constituents existed in C.vaginatu,among which ferulic acid demonstrated the highest content,followed by that of myricetin,while D-tryptophan content was the lowest.At the concentration of 7.61 mg/L,total polyphenols displayed the scavenging rates on DPPH,ABTS,OH free radicals of 80.70％,85.97％,28.60％,total reducing power of 0.22,and inhibition rate on α-glucosidase of 77.23％,respectively.CONCLUSION This stable and reliable method can be used for the extraction of total polyphenols from C.vaginatum with strong anti-oxidant,hypoglycemic activities.

Objective:To compare the effects of 5 prone ventilation positions in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with network Meta-analysis.Methods:The randomized controlled trials on various prone ventilation positions in patients with ARDS were retrieved from Cochrane Library, EMbase, CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, SinoMed, CNKI, Chinese Medical Association Guideline Database, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, VIP Information and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry from their inception to December 31, 2023. Literature screening, quality assessment and data extraction were done following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Network Meta-analysis of outcome indicators was done using Stata 18.0.Results:A total of 19 articles, covering 1 284 patients and 5 prone ventilation positions (0°, 10°, 30°, 25° and 45°) were included. Cochrane risk assessment results showed that 15 articles were grade B and 4 articles were grade C. In direct comparisons, heterogeneity was acceptable ( I2≤50% and P≥0.1). In network analysis, the global and local consistency test result showed good consistency ( P>0.05). Network Meta-analysis result showed that the incidences of pressure injury in patients with 10°, 25°, 30° and 45° prone ventilation were significantly lower than that in patients with 0° prone ventilation, the incidence of pressure injury in patients with 25° prone ventilation was significantly lower than that in patients with 10° prone ventilation, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); the oxygenation index in patients with 25° prone ventilation was significantly better than that in patients with 0°, 30° and 45° prone ventilation, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The 25° prone ventilation can both effectively improve oxygenation and maximally reduce the incidence of pressure injury in patients with ARDS.

Objective To provide suggestions for the clinical efficacy evaluation method of manual therapy for knee osteoarthritis(KOA)by analyzing the current status of the use of outcome indicators in randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of manual therapy for KOA.Methods RCTs about manual treatment of KOA were retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Scopus and Web of Science from March 2014 to March 2024.Two researchers screened literature,extracted literature features,analyzed the RCT indicator domain,measurement tools,and measurement time points for manual treatment of KOA.Results A total of 134 articles were included,with a sample size of 17 659.A total of 138 outcome indicators were used to classify the outcome indicators:64 symptoms and signs(46.4%),54 physical and chemical examinations(39.1%),11 quality of life(8.0%),2 psychological status indicators(1.4%),2 safety indicators(1.4%),2 muscle strength testing indicators(1.4%)and 3 other indicators(2.2%).Among 134 articles,there were a total of 36 measurement time points,with a research time span of 1 hour to 1 year after treatment;91 articles(67.9%)used"clinical efficacy"as the outcome measure;27 articles(20.1%)were evaluated for safety and reported adverse events.Conclusion The RCT outcome indicators of manual therapy for KOA lack representativeness,integrality,objectivity and specificity.The rigorism of the outcome indicators should be improved from the aspects of representativeness,integrality,objectivity and specificity,in order to achieve a complete evaluation effect on disease research.

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.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
