Objective To investigate the levels and influencing factors for eye lens dose of interventional radiology workers, and to provide a basis for reasonable and scientific radiation protection. Methods Thermoluminescent eye lens dosimeters were used to monitor the left and right eye lens doses of interventional radiology workers in real time during different surgical positions and varying eye protection conditions. The annual eye lens doses for the operators were estimated based on their yearly workload. The differences in eye lens doses under different conditions were analyzed and the influencing factors were identified. Results For individual interventional operations, the range of personal dose equivalent H_p(3) of the left eye of interventional radiology workers was ( < MDL ~ 418.33) μSv, the median (Q₁, Q₃) was 9.29 ( < MDL, 40.79) μSv, and the mean was 40.79 ± 70.36 μSv. The estimated annual eye lens doses were 4.05 mSv and 17.80 mSv based on the median and mean values of the eye lens dose of a single operation multiplied by average annual frequency of operations per person, respectively. The left eye lens dose was higher than the right eye lens dose of the same operator (Z = −4.24, P < 0.05), and the dose of the right eye lens was strongly positively correlated with that of the left eye lens. The left eye lens dose of the first surgeon was higher than that of the second surgeon in the same operation (Z = −3.10, P < 0.05). The eye lens dose was influenced by operator position (χ² = 9.149, P = 0.002, OR = 8.343), eye protection (χ² = 4.619, P = 0.032, OR = 4.352), and air kerma area product (χ² = 8.032, P = 0.005, OR = 5.488). Conclusion According to the results of this study, a significant portion of interventional operators have eye lens doses that approach or exceed international occupational dose limits. It is recommended to pay attention to the operation frequency of the first operator and the air kerma area product of interventional operation, and strengthen radiation protection and dose monitoring for the eye lens of interventional radiology workers.

The Hedgehog （Hh） signaling pathway plays an important role in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma and its tumor microenvironment， and abnormal activation of Hh signal can accelerate the growth of tumor. The crosstalk between the Hh signaling pathway and TME is closely associated with tumor growth and the formation of inhibitory tumor microenvironment. Evidence shows that inhibition of Hh signal plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma. This article reviews the current research status of the role， mechanism， and potential therapeutic significance of abnormal activation of Hh signal in hepatocellular carcinoma and its tumor microenvironment， so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the effects of intra-articular injection of exosomes derived from dental pulp stem cells from hu-man exfoliated deciduous teeth(SHED-EXO)on subchondral bone homeostasis in rat temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis(TMJ OA)process.Methods:36 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=12):control(CON),sodium iodoacetate(MIA)-induced TMJ OA(MIA),and SHED-EXO injection into TMJ OA(SHED-EXO)groups.At 2 and 6 weeks post-treatment,Micro-CT,Double labeling,TRAP staining,and immunohistochemical staining were employed to detect osteoclasts and osteoblasts in the subchondral bone.Additionally,the mRNA expression levels of ADAMTs5,IL-1β,OCN and OPG/RANKL were analyzed by qRT-PCR.Results:The MIA group exhibited significant bone loss and an enlarged bone marrow cavity.In comparison with the CON group,BV/TV and Tb.Th were lower(P＜0.001),while BS/BV,Tb.Sp,and Tb.N were higher(P＜0.01).Additionally,the bone formation rate within 5 days was low-er than that of the control group(P＜0.001).When compared to the MIA group,the SHED-EXO group showed a significant increase in bone morphology and bone mass.BV/TV and Tb.Th were increased(P＜0.01),while BS/BV,Tb.Sp and Tb.N were decreased(P＜0.05).The bone formation rate was higher(P＜0.01).Compared with both the control and treatment groups,the MIA group exhibited a significant increase in the number of osteoclasts in the subchondral bone(P＜0.01),along with a notable decrease in H-type blood vessels and OCN-positive areas(P＜0.01).Conclusion:Intra-articular injection of SHED-EXO can reg-ulate condylar subchondral bone homeostasis in TMJ OA of rats by promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting osteoclasts.

Objective To explore the research path to construct knowledge representation,knowledge analysis,knowledge presentation and knowledge reasoning of ancient stroke medical cases based on knowledge element theory and knowledge graph.Methods A multi-layered knowledge representation system of medical cases was constructed,which included"knowledge body-knowledge element-semantics and semantic relationships",and knowledge element indexing system was used to parse the text into structured data.Combined with the attribute graph model for graph design,Neo4j was used to build a knowledge graph,and visual presentation and analysis were performed.Results A total of 517 medical cases from 86 ancient books were included,forming a knowledge representation system including 2 types of knowledge bodies,19 types of knowledge elements,27 types of semantics and 9 types of semantic relationships.The original knowledge graph had 19 node types(8 virtual nodes)and 15 relationship types,totaling 6363 nodes and 14697 relationships;the integrated knowledge graph had 11 node types and 11 relationship types,totaling 1229 nodes and 11456 relationships.Hierarchical subgraph visualization and node connectivity analysis methods completed implicit knowledge exploration and reasoning.Conclusion The knowledge representation system can guide the structured expression and semantic level analysis of ancient text,and provide systematic data support for the construction of knowledge graphs.The original knowledge graph of ancient and modern dual-mode knowledge graph focuses on the visual presentation of complex diagnosis and treatment ideas,which is conducive to improving the efficiency of medical cases review;integrating the knowledge graph to build a scale-free network and using group cases as the object can realize the tacit knowledge of stroke from a macro dimension excavation.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of genotypic drug resistance mutations in people living with human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(PLWHA) who failed anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in Henan Province, in order to provide a basis for adjusting ART regimens and reducing drug resistance.Methods:PLWHA with virological failure (human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA≥500 copies/mL) after receiving ART for more than 24 weeks were included in Henan Province from January 2018 to December 2022. Baseline CD4 + T lymphocyte counts, ART regimens and other clinical data were collected. HIV-1 gene subtypes and their drug resistance sequence mutations were detected in the Sixth People′s Hospital of Zhengzhou, and the sequences were submitted to the HIV Drug Resistance Interpretation System of Stanford University for comparison of test results. Genotypic drug resistance to nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), protease inhibitors (PI) and integrase inhibitors (INSTI) was determined. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of drug resistance in patients with ART failure. Results:Among 982 PLWHA, the sequences of 899 cases were successfully amplified, and drug resistance was detected in 737 cases, with the drug resistance rate of 81.98%(737/899). The rates of resistance to NRTIs, NNRTIs, PIs and INSTIs were 71.97%(647/899), 79.31%(713/899), 5.23%(47/899) and 2.72%(20/734), respectively.The largest number of those who developed concomitant resistance to two classes of drugs was 588 cases (79.78%), mainly NRTI and NNRTI concomitant resistance in 583 cases (79.10%). There were 99 cases (13.43%) who developed resistance to only one class of drugs, and those who developed concurrent resistance to three classes of drugs were 48 cases (6.51%), and two cases (0.27%) were found to be resistant to all four classes of drugs mentioned above. A total of 10 HIV genotypes were detected, among which subtype B accounted for the most (59.73%(537/899)), followed by circulating recombinant form (CRF)01_AE subtype (21.91%(197/899)) and CRF07_BC subtype (9.45%(85/899)). The risk factors affecting the development of drug resistance were baseline CD4 + T lymphocyte counts, ART regimens and HIV-1 genotypes. The risk of drug resistance in patients with baseline CD4 + T lymphocyte counts <100/μL was 4.55 times (95% confidence interval ( CI) 2.69 to 7.70) higher than patients with CD4 + T lymphocyte counts≥250/μL, the risk of drug resistance in patients using 2NRTIs+ NNRTI regimen was 4.51 times (95% CI 1.75 to 11.63) higer than those using 2NRTIs+ INSTI regimen, and patients infected with B and CRF01_AE subtype was 2.18 times (95% CI 1.10 to 4.29) and 2.70 times (95% CI 1.26 to 5.78) higer than those with CRF07_BC subtype, respectively. Conclusions:The incidence of genotypic drug resistance in PLWHA with ART failure in Henan Province is high. Low baseline CD4 + T lymphocyte counts, 2NRTIs+ NNRTI regimens, and genotype B and CRF01_AE are risk factors for drug resistance in PLWHA.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The clinical data, laboratory test, and gene mutations were collected from a family with pseudohypoaldosteronism type II(PHA2). The proband, aged 1 year and 7 months, presented with hyperkalemia(6.69 mmol/L; reference range 3.5-5.3 mmol/L), blood pressure of 110/68 mmHg(normal<106/61 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), blood chloride of 111.5 mmol/L(reference 99-110 mmol/L), blood HCO 3- of 17.1 mmol/L(reference 22-29 mmol/L), estimated glomerular filtration rate of 128.5 mL·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1[>90 mL·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1], and blood renin concentration of 0.30 μIU/mL(reference 4.2-45.6 μIU/mL). The mother and maternal grandfather also exhibited normal renal function with hyperkalemia, hypertension, hyperchloremia, metabolic acidosis, and low renin. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous missense mutation(c.1685A>G, p. E562G) in exon 7 of the no-lysine kinase 4(WNK4) gene. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide was effective. Literature review comparing this E562G pedigree with other WNK4 variants suggested clinical heterogeneity of WNK4 mutations. For unexplained hyperkalemia, especially with concurrent hypertension, PHA2 should be considered early for genetic screening to prevent misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.
