BACKGROUND:Although researchers have noted that fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 shows great potential in rheumatoid arthritis bone destruction,there is a lack of reviews related to the potential mechanisms of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 in rheumatoid arthritis bone destruction. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively analyze the mechanism of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 in bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis by reviewing the relevant literature at both home and abroad. METHODS:We searched the CNKI database using the Chinese search terms"fibroblast growth factor receptor 1,rheumatoid arthritis,bone destruction,bone cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts,chondrocytes,macrophages,synovial fibroblasts,T cells,vascular endothelial cells."PubMed database was searched using the English search terms"fibroblast growth factor receptor 1,rheumatoid arthritis,bone destruction,osteocytes,osteoblasts,osteoclasts,chondrocytes,macrophages,synovial fibroblasts,T cells,endothelial cells."The search period focused on April 1992 to January 2024.After screening the literature by reading titles,abstracts,and full texts,a total of 82 articles were finally included for review according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 was found to be widely expressed in bone tissue-associated cells,including osteoblasts,osteoclasts,and osteoclasts.Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 affects bone remodeling and homeostasis by regulating the function of these cells,as well as promoting the onset and progression of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis.Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 is involved in the inflammatory response of synovial fibroblasts and macrophages and regulates angiogenesis of endothelial cells in synovial tissues.Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 promotes bone destruction in several ways.Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 may be a potential causative agent of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis and provides a reference for further research on its therapeutic targets.

Objective:To assess the feasibility and efficacy of transperineal laser ablation(TPLA)with single laser fiber in treating benign prostatic obstruction(BPO).Methods:From April 2021 to March 2024,a total of 13 BPO patients were selected from Beijing Friendship Hospital.TPLA was performed using a single laser fiber,which was guided by transrectal biplane ultrasound.The single laser fiber was used to undergo TPLA under the guidance of trans-rectal dual-plane ultrasound.The intraoperative time,ablation time,energy consumption,indwelling time of catheter,and complications were observed.The postoperative 6 months was chosen as the cut-off point of follow-up,and the pre and postoperative changes of international prostate symptom score(IPSS),quality of life index(QoL),prostate volume(PV),residual urine volume(RUV)and the maximum urine flow rate(Qmax)were compared.Results:All 13 patients successfully underwent TPLA with single laser fiber.The average operation time was(55.1±18.3)min,and the average ablation time was(16.3±1.7)min,and average energy consumption was(3951.6±459.7)J,and the median value of indwelling time of catheter was 7(7,10)days.The number of postoperative complication was 2 cases,and both them belonged to Clavien-Dindo grade II complication.At the postoperative 6th month,the IPSS,QoL,PV,Qmax and RUV of all patients were improved,all of which were better than preoperative these indicators,and the differences were significant(t=12.102,-3.228,-3.181,-2.581,-2.936,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of single laser fiber in conducting TPLA operation is feasibility at technical aspect,and it can achieve the therapeutic goals of improving patients'symptoms and enhancing their quality of life.Although its operational time is slightly longer than that of using multiple fibers simultaneously,it can effectively reduce the cost of expenditure for consumables.

Objective:To propose a functional method for locating the shoulder joint center of rotation aimed at rapid estimation of the upper limb reachable domain envelope, thereby informing ergonomic design and task optimization.Methods:In March 2024, shoulder kinematics during gait were recorded from ten adults using a three-dimensional motion-capture system. Assuming the existence of a point near the glenohumeral joint that maintains a fixed spatial relationship to the humerus and the acromion, we estimated both static and dynamic centers of rotation. Localization accuracy was quantified by the standard deviation of distance residuals to upper-arm markers. Upper-limb joint angles and anthropometric parameters were modeled via regression; combined with maximal joint ranges of motion, these were used to infer the reachable domain envelope.Results:The static center of rotation was located approximately twenty-two millimeters medial to the acromial landmark in the coronal plane and thirty-seven millimeters inferior to it. The standard deviation of the residuals for the distances from the dynamic shoulder joint center of rotation to upper-arm markers averaged 1.02 mm, which was 47.42% lower than that of the static center of rotation and 66.56% lower than that of the acromion. Moreover, the trajectory of this dynamic center showed a strong correlation with upper-limb joint angles ( R2>0.7) . Conclusion:The proposed method enables rapid and accurate estimation of the upper limb reachable domain envelope to support ergonomic design and may help reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Objective To develop a three-compartment kinetic fatigue model for the isometric muscle endurance of the hip,knee,and ankle joints at 50％IPT(isometric peak torque),so as to provide a theoretical basis for simulation-based assessments and load evaluations in biomechanics and sports science.Methods The IPT of the hip,knee,and ankle joints was measured in 40 male university students.Isometric endurance tests were then performed on all three joints at 50％IPT until exhaustion.Electromyography data and endurance time(ET)of major lower limb muscles were collected concurrently.The differences between ETs predicted by models based on previously recommended F and R parameters and actual ETs were analyzed.Subsequently,experimental ETs were used in a grid search to optimize Fand R parameters,allowing for the development of an accurate three-compartment kinetic model.Results The ET of the hip and ankle joints was significantly longer than that of the knee joint(P＜0.001).Models using previously recommended Fand R parameters overestimated ET,with significantly higher predicted values than experimentally measured ET(P＜0.001),as well as elevated root mean squared error(RMSE)and mean relatvie error(MRE)values.The grid search successfully identified Fand R parameters for the three-compartment model in isometric endurance tests of lower limb joints,with no statistical difference between model-predicted ET and experimental ET(P＞0.05).Conclusions The developed model in this study can serve as an indirect measurement tool for evaluating load in similar activities.

BACKGROUND:Surface electromyography has been extensively utilized for monitoring muscle fatigue. However,traditional electromyographic metrics typically focus on individual muscles and fail to assess the variations in a muscle group during the fatigue process. OBJECTIVE:To establish a muscle functional network to extract complex network parameters and investigate the topological property changes of the muscle functional network under different levels of fatigue,aiming to provide theoretical and methodological foundations for fatigue monitoring and prevention. METHODS:Eleven participants performed single-leg leg press exercise at 50％ of one-repetition maximum until exhaustion. Simultaneously,electromyographic signals of seven muscles (rectus femoris,vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,biceps femoris,tibialis anterior,lateral gastrocnemius,and medial gastrocnemius),electrocardiographic signals,and Borg CR-10 scale scores were collected. The Borg CR-10 scale was used to categorize three fatigue stages:mild,moderate,and severe. Heart rate and heart rate variability were calculated to validate the effective division of fatigue stages. Using the coherence of muscle signals,a muscle functional network was constructed with the seven muscles as nodes,and four complex network parameters (clustering coefficient,average weighted degree,global efficiency,and eigenvector centrality) were extracted. Additionally,four electromyographic indices (root mean square,median frequency,instantaneous mean frequency,and co-activation ratio) were extracted and compared under the three levels of fatigue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Differences in heart rate and heart rate variability were observed across three fatigue stages,indicating the effectiveness of fatigue stage delineation. (2) Electromyographic indicators for different muscles under three levels of fatigue:root mean square and co-activation ratio showed no differences;however,median frequency exhibited robust fatigue trends in vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,and biceps femoris,while instantaneous mean frequency demonstrated robust fatigue trends in rectus femoris,vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,and biceps femoris. Instantaneous mean frequency outperformed median frequency and root mean square,yet all three indicators showed robust trends only for the major working muscle groups,unaffected by fatigue factors,unlike the co-activation ratio. (3) The connectivity strength between vastus lateralis and vastus medialis,vastus lateralis and biceps femoris,vastus lateralis and gastrocnemius medialis,and vastus medialis and biceps femoris gradually increased,showing significant differences in average weighted degree,clustering coefficient,and global efficiency post-fatigue,significantly correlated with fatigue levels. To conclude,changes in connectivity strength reflect the synergy and complementarity among muscles during fatigue. Clustering coefficient,average weighted degree,and global efficiency serve as fatigue markers reflecting overall muscle changes.

Objective To explore the factors that influence major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in atrial fibrillation(AF)patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation(RFA),as well as to compare the prognosis of patients with advanced AF to that of the general population.Methods We prospectively recruited AF patients who underwent RFA treatment at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2021 and March 2023.General patient data were collected through the hospital's inpatient system,and MACE were tracked through outpatient visits and telephone follow-ups.Patients were categorized into three age groups:Group 1(under 65 years),Group 2(65 to 75 years),and Group 3(over 75 years).In this study,MACE was defined as include cardiovascular death,all-cause death,readmission for heart failure,acute coronary syndrome(ACS),grade 2 or higher bleeding and stroke.Results A total of 431 patients were included in this study,with an average age of(66.17±12.22)years.Among these patients,259 were male(60.09％),and the mean of CHA2DS2-VASc score was(1.79±1.30).The median follow-up period was 16.0(11.3,21.3)months,during which 28(6.50％)patients experienced MACE,with ACS and stroke being the most common events.Variables were selected using LASSO regression,and a LASSO-Cox regression model was constructed.Age(HR 1.06,95％CI 1.02-1.10,P=0.006)and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HR 3.70,95％CI 1.27-8.68,P=0.008)were identified as independent predictors of MACE after RFA for AF.Subgroup analysis revealed that patients under 65 had significantly better prognoses compared to older AF patients(P=0.030 compared with group 2;P=0.021 compared with group 3).Conclusions Age and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are independent risk factors for MACE in AF patients undergoing RFA.The prognosis for younger patients is better than that for older patients,while the prognosis for advanced patients is comparable to that of patients aged 65-75 years.
