Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

AIM:To exploring the mechanism of Xin Mai Jia(XMJ)in inhibiting hypertensive cardiac hypertrophy through network pharmacology and animal experiments.METHODS:Retrieving the ac-tive ingredients and target points of XMJ by search-ing the TCMSP database and related literature re-ports;using the Gene Cards,OMIM,and Drug Bank databases to screen targets for hypertensive cardi-ac hypertrophy;constructing a network of tradi-tional Chinese medicine-active ingredients-poten-tial targets and a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network;using DAVID software for target gene on-tology(GO)functional enrichment analysis and Kyo-to Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis;using Auto Dock soft-ware for molecular docking.A spontaneously hy-pertensive rat(SHR)model was established,and hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to detect the morphology of cardiac tissue and cellular hy-pertrophy,Masson staining was used to detect col-lagen deposition in cardiac tissue,and Western blot to detect the expression of heat shock protein(HSP90AA1),mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor y(PPARG),and tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α)in car-diac tissue.RESULTS:A total of 56 potential active ingredients were identified in XMJ,and 5,492 tar-gets related to hypertensive cardiac hypertrophy were obtained.The targets in the core network were ranked according to their Degree values,and four main targets were selected:HSP90AA1,mTOR,PPARG,and TNF-α.The results of HE staining showed that compared with the normal group,the average area of cardiomyocytes in the SHR group increased significantly(P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in the XMJ group.The hypertro-phy in the SHR+XMJ group was significantly alleviat-ed(P＜0.05).The results of Masson staining showed that compared with the normal group,the levels of interstitial fibrosis and perivascular fibrosis in the SHR group rats increased significantly(P＜0.01),and XMJ could significantly reduce the fibrosis levels in the SHR group rats(P＜0.01).The results of Western blot showed that compared with the normal group rats,the expression of HSP90AA1 and PPARG in the myocardial tissue of SHR group rats was downregu-lated,mTOR phosphorylation was downregulated,and TNF-α was significantly upregulated(P＜0.01).In the SHR+XMJ group,the expression of HSP90AA1,PPARG,and TNF-α in the myocardial tis-sue of rats returned to normal levels,and mTOR phosphorylation returned to normal levels.In the XMJ group,there were no significant changes in the above indicators compared with the normal group rats.CONCLUSION:The mechanism underly-ing the inhibitory effect of XMJ on myocardial cell hypertrophy in hypertension involves a comprehen-sive action through multiple components,multiple targets,and multiple pathways.

Objective:To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based automatic measurement model for panoramic ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images.Methods:A diagnostic test study was conducted.Preoperative UBM examination results of 372 patients who underwent implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation were collected at the Eye Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between February 2021 and March 2023.A total of 1 368 panoramic UBM images were obtained to establish an image database.The dataset was divided into a training set (760 images), a validation set (86 images) and an internal test set (522 images).An expert panel consisting of three ophthalmologists annotated the images.The UNet+ + network was used to automatically segment anterior segment tissues, such as the cornea, lens and iris.In addition, image processing techniques and geometric localization algorithms were developed to automatically identify the anatomical landmarks of pupil diameter (PD), anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle-to-angle distance (ATA) and sulcus-to-sulcus distance (STS) to complete the measurement of these parameters.Additionally, 480 panoramic UBM images of 135 patients (240 eyes) from Aier Eye Hospital of Wuhan University were used as an external test set to further evaluate the performance of the model in different centers.The consistency between the measurements from the model and expert panel, the Pentacam system was assessed.Finally, 150 images were randomly selected from the external test set for a human-machine comparison to further evaluate the model's performance.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (No.WDRY-2022-K109) and Aier eye Hospital of Wuhan University (No.2023IRBKY120903).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:In the internal test dataset and external test dataset, with manual labeling as the reference standard, the model achieved a mean Dice coefficient of not less than 0.882.At least 95.65% of the anatomical landmark localization results had Euclidean distance differences within 250 μm.The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the measurements of PD, ACD, angle-to-angle ATA, and STS were at least 0.958, with mean relative errors not exceeding 2.407%.With the Pentacam measurements as the reference standard, the ICCs for PD in the internal and external test sets were 0.540 and 0.466, respectively, while the ICCs for ACD were 0.946 and 0.908, respectively.In the human-machine comparison, the ICCs between the model's measurements and those of senior experts were all not lower than 0.969.Conclusions:The deep learning-based model can automatically measure anterior segment parameters from preoperative panoramic UBM images of patients undergoing ICL surgery.The model demonstrates a consistency comparable to that of senior experts, while providing higher efficiency.In terms of ACD measurement, the model shows good agreement between the measurements obtained from the model and Pentacam system.

This study was aimed at exploring the prevalence and drug sensitivity of Gordonia strains isolated from sputum samples in Henan Province,to provide data to aid in the prevention and treatment of Gordonia infection.A combination of 16S rDNA and sec A1 gene sequencing was used to identify the isolated strains,and susceptibility to16 drugs was determined with the broth microdilution method.A total of 21 strains were identified through 16S rDNA gene and sec A1 gene sequencing,including five strains of Gordonia broncians,eight strains of Gordonia paraphernivans,seven strains of Gordonia sputi,and one strain of Gordonia aichiensis.Drug sensi-tivity testing showed high Gordonia sensitivity to drugs such as ceftriaxone,linezolid,doxycycline,amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,mino-cycline,cefotaxime,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole,imipenem,tobramycin,and clarithromycin.The sensitivity rates of the isolated strains were 90.48%(19/21),100%(21/21),90.48%(19/21),90.48%(19/21),95.24%(20/21),90.48%(19/21),90.48%(19/21),90.48%(19/21),and 95.24%(20/21),respectively.Gordonia showed high resistance to rifampicin and cefepime,with rates of 28.57%(6/21)and 19.05%(4/21),respectively.Meanwhile,the resistance varied among bacterial strains.The resistance rate of G.sputi to rifampicin reached 71.43%(5/7),whereas that of G.parapffinivoras to cefepime was 37.5%(3/8).The main species of Gordo-nia isolated from sputum samples of patients in Henan Province were G.bronchialis,G.paraffinivoras,G.sputi,and G.aichiensis.Drug sensitivity tests indicated that drugs including amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,ceftriaxone,cefotaxime,tobramycin,clarithromycin,mi-nocycline,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole,linezolid,and doxycycline had good antibacterial effects against Gordonia.

Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability,and it particularly inflicts brain damage through various mechanisms.However,there is a significant gap in the availability of specific drugs for the treatment of ischemic stroke.Numerous studies have demonstrated that exercise preconditioning can provide protective ef-fects against ischemic stroke through complex mechanisms.In this review,we aim to summarize the amount of exercise re-quired to induce exercise preconditioning and its potential mechanisms for improving outcomes in ischemic stroke.The fol-lowing benefits of exercise preconditioning have been identified in relation to ischemic stroke:(1)reduction of cerebral edema and infarct size,while promoting angiogenesis;(2)preservation of the integrity of the blood-brain barrier,reduc-tion of apoptosis,and mitigation of neurological damage;(3)inhibition of glutamate overactivation,alleviation of oxida-tive stress,and improvement of the inflammatory response.Ultimately,exercise preconditioning mitigates the damage caused by ischemic stroke through these pathways.

Objective:To analyze the association between healthcare workers mental health,institu-tional supplies and facilities,inter-organizational coordination during infectious disease outbreaks,and the healthcare institution resilience.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among the healthcare workforce from 146 institutions in Beijing from January 13,2023 to February 9,2023,and a total of 1 434 eligible respondents were included.The sample comprised 408 responses from tertiary hos-pitals,117 from secondary hospitals,and 909 from primary care institutions.The resilience indicator for healthcare institutions was defined as the degree to which medical services met patient demands,with in-fluencing factors including physical factors,such as material shortages and facility space adaptation or ex-pansion,organizational factors such as information sharing and patient referral,and psychological factors were evaluated using job satisfaction(extrinsic satisfaction,intrinsic satisfaction),burnout(emotional exhaustion,depersonalization,reduced personal accomplishment),and depression status.Ordered mul-ticlassification Logistic regression was used to examine the impact of various factors on the degree to which healthcare services met patient needs;additionally,demographic factors that might influence institutional resilience were controlled.Results:During the emergency response phase,93％of hospitals maintained the capacity to meet patient needs,though tertiary hospitals demonstrated significantly higher rates of service inadequacy(21.05％).Material shortages were reported across all institutions,with tertiary hos-pitals experiencing more frequent multi-item shortages.Inter-institutional collaboration patterns revealed substantial variation:87.50％of primary care facilities,42.86％of secondary hospitals,and 31.58％of tertiary hospitals.Healthcare workers across all levels reported mild depressive symptoms and moderate-to-severe burnout levels.Regression analysis showed high satisfaction(overall satisfaction β=0.04,ex-trinsic satisfaction β=0.06,and intrinsic satisfaction β=0.08),low degree of job burnout(emotional exhaustion β=-0.04,depersonalization β=-0.07 and reduced personal accomplishment β=0.01),low degree of depression(β=-0.06)were significantly associated with higher healthcare institution re-silience.In addition,material shortages were significantly associated with lower resilience,and renova-tion and expansion of treatment spaces,and information sharing,were all associated with higher resilience.Demographic factors(age,gender,marital status,educational background,etc.)had no sig-nificant impact on resilience.Conclusion:Mental health status significantly influences healthcare institu-tion resilience.As human resources constitute the core asset of healthcare institutions,strategic optimiza-tion of workforce allocation and psychological support interventions can effectively strengthen resilience.Moreover,healthcare institution resilience is positively impacted by orderly material supply chains,timely resource distribution,and adaptive reconfiguration of clinical spaces.Finally,facilitating information sharing also enhances institutional resilience.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) and FOLFOX-based hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC) versus lenvatinib plus DEB-TACE (Len+DEB-TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) larger than 7 cm with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT).Methods:The data from patients diagnosed with HCC (>7 cm) and PVTT who received either Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC ( n=99) or Len+DEB-TACE ( n=102) between July 2019 and June 2021 at six institutions in China were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Tumor responses were evaluated based on modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) were compared between the two groups by propensity score matching. Subgroup analyses were performed for TTP and OS. Results:After propensity score matching, 83 pairs of patients were included in the study cohorts. The ORR for the Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC group and the Len+DEB-TACE group was 66.3% and 38.6% ( χ2=12.78, P<0.001), respectively. The DCR for the Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC group and the Len+DEB-TACE group was 91.6% and 79.5% ( χ2=4.87, P=0.027), respectively. The median TTP and median OS for the Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC group were significantly longer than those for the Len+DEB-TACE group (TTP, 10.1 months vs. 6.1 months, χ2=35.28, P<0.001; OS, 17.3 months vs. 12.9 months, χ2=16.84, P<0.001). The incidence of ≥grade 3 TRAEs was 38.6% in the Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC group and 33.7% in the Len+DEB-TACE group ( χ2=0.42, P=0.518). Conclusion:Compared with Len+DEB-TACE, Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC led to improved tumor response, TTP and OS with an acceptable safety profile in patients with large HCC and PVTT.

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.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.
