BACKGROUND:Degenerative scoliosis is defined as a condition that occurs in adulthood with a coronal cobb angle of the spine>10° accompanied by sagittal deformity and rotational subluxation,which often produces symptoms of spinal cord and nerve compression,such as lumbar pain,lower limb pain,numbness,weakness,and neurogenic claudication.The finite element method is a mechanical analysis technique for computer modelling,which can be used for spinal mechanics research by building digital models that can realistically restore the human spine model and design modifications. OBJECTIVE:To review the application of finite element method in the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis. METHODS:The literature databases CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science were searched for articles on the application of finite element method in degenerative scoliosis published before October 2023.Search terms were"finite element analysis,biomechanics,stress analysis,degenerative scoliosis,adult spinal deformity"in Chinese and English.Fifty-four papers were finally included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The biomechanical findings from the degenerative scoliosis model constructed using the finite element method were identical to those from the in vivo experimental studies,which proves that the finite element method has a high practical value in degenerative scoliosis.(2)The study of the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis by the finite element method is conducive to the prevention of the occurrence of the scoliosis,slowing down the progress of the scoliosis,the development of a more appropriate treatment plan,the reduction of complications,and the promotion of the patients'surgical operation.(3)The finite element method has gradually evolved from a single bony structure to the inclusion of soft tissues such as muscle ligaments,and the small sample content is increasingly unable to meet the research needs.(4)The finite element method has much room for exploration in degenerative scoliosis.

Homo- or heterodimeric compounds that affect dimeric protein function through interaction between monomeric moieties and protein subunits can serve as valuable sources of potent and selective drug candidates. Here, we screened an in-house dimeric natural product collection, and panepocyclinol A (PecA) emerged as a selective and potent STAT3 inhibitor with profound anti-tumor efficacy. Through cross-linking C712/C718 residues in separate STAT3 monomers with two distinct Michael receptors, PecA inhibits STAT3 DNA binding affinity and transcription activity. Molecular dynamics simulation reveals the key conformation changes of STAT3 dimers upon the di-covalent binding with PecA that abolishes its DNA interactions. Furthermore, PecA exhibits high efficacy against anaplastic large T cell lymphoma in vitro and in vivo, especially those with constitutively activated STAT3 or STAT3^Y640F. In summary, our study describes a distinct and effective di-covalent modification for the dimeric compound PecA to disrupt STAT3 function.

Objective:To explore the effect of nurse-led peer education on the disease knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy of osteoporosis patients.Methods:From June 2022 to May 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 63 patients with osteoporosis who visited the Bone Metabolism Clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital as participants. The patients were divided into a control group ( n=32) and an observation group ( n=31) using a random number table method. Control group received conventional health education, while observation group was treated with nurse-led peer education on the basis of control group. The osteoporosis knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy scores were compared between the two groups of patients before and after intervention. Results:Two cases were lost to follow-up in control group, one case was lost to follow-up in observation group, and ultimately 30 cases were included in both observation group and control group. Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in osteoporosis knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy scores between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). After intervention, observation group had higher scores in osteoporosis knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy than control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nurse-led peer education based on online platforms can improve the knowledge, medication compliance, and fall efficacy score of osteoporosis patients, and is worthy of promotion and application in health education for osteoporosis patients.
