Background: The immune system plays a critical role in the development and progression of osteoporosis and fractures. However, the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and these bone conditions remain unclear. This study aimed to explore these relationships using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: We collected complete blood count data from patients with fractures and healthy individuals and analyzed their differences. Then, we conducted a 2-sample, 2-step MR analysis to investigate the causal effects of antibody immune responses on osteoporosis and fractures, using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method. We also explored whether immune cells mediate the pathway between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures. Finally, we analyzed the functions and expression levels of key genes involved. Results: Overall, the fracture group exhibited increased white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, absolute monocyte count, platelet count, and their respective proportions, while absolute lymphocyte count, absolute eosinophil count, absolute basophil count, red blood cell count, and their proportions were decreased. We identified 44 causal relationships between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures, with 7 supported by multiple MR methods, and 5 showing odds ratios significantly deviating from 1 in the IVW analysis. Epstein-Barr virus-related antibodies had a notable impact on osteoporosis and fractures. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene family, particularly HLA-DPB1, emerged as a significant risk factor. However, immune cells were not found to mediate these effects. Conclusions This study elucidated the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and osteoporosis or fractures. The HLA gene family plays a crucial role in the interaction between antibodies and these bone conditions, with HLA-DPB1 identified as a key risk gene. Immune cells do not serve as mediators in this process. These findings provide valuable insights for future research.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is the main cause of blindness and visual impairment.In hyperglycemia,oxidative stress,or hypoxia,IL-1β upregulation mediates retinal inflammation.Sustained low-grade inflammation can cause retinal vascular damage and neurodegeneration,stimulate oxidative damage,disrupt the blood retinal barrier,and induce retinal neovascularization.This article reviews the research progress of IL-1β in the mechanism and clinical treatment of DR.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Xiaoxuming decoction is one of the classical prescriptions in ancient times,mainly used for treating stroke syndrome,with significant therapeutic effects.Recent studies have found that it is also effective for other neurological diseases besides stroke,such as facial paralysis and vertigo,but there are few reports on related achievements,lacking systematic organization and summary.This article systematically summarizes the application practice and mechanism of Xiaoxuming decoction in the above-mentioned diseases,aiming to provide a solid foundation and scientific reference for deepening the exploration of Xiaoxuming decoction in the field of nervous system disease.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective: To investigate the status of occupational health examination institutions in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide suggestions for quality control of occupational health examination institutions. Methods: The 312 occupational health examination institutions in Zhejiang Province that have completed filing before September 30, 2023 were selected. The comprehensive capability, service quality, technical capability, and information reporting status were surveyed and evaluated through on-site inspection and skill assessment. Results: There were 161 public hospitals (51.60%), 147 private organizations (47.12%), and 4 centers for disease control and prevention (CDCs)/ occupational disease prevention and control institutes (1.28%). The pass rates of comprehensive capability, service quality, technical capability and information reporting were 90.02%, 69.89%, 84.07% and 86.78%, respectively. Among the indicators of comprehensive capability, the compliance rate for staffing was the highest at 95.06%, while the qualification rate of quality control in occupational health examinations was the lowest at 84.83%. Among the indicators of service quality, the compliance rate of the physical examination report format was the highest at 95.83%, while the accuracy rate of the audiometry examination was the lowest at 76.60%. In terms of technical capabilities, the qualification rates for blood lead testing, pneumoconiosis reading, and audiogram diagnostic ability were 87.92%, 89.42% and 75.34%, respectively. In terms of information reporting, the qualification rates for reporting completeness, reporting timeliness, suspected occupational disease reporting timeliness, and reporting accuracy were 89.10%, 81.09%, 96.47% and 80.45%, respectively. Among the three types of institutions, private institutions had the lowest average qualification rates for comprehensive capability, service quality, and technical capability, which were 89.83%, 69.06% and 80.00%, respectively. Conclusions Public hospitals and private organizations were the main types of occupational health examination institutions in Zhejiang Province. However, there were deficiencies in quality control, audiogram examination and diagnosis, and the accuracy of information reporting among occupational health examination institutions.
