Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a hereditary neuromuscular disease, may lead to progressive muscle weakness and atrophy in the proximal limbs resulting from decreased survival motor neuron (SMN) protein expression caused by SMN1 gene mutation. Currently, drugs clinically used for SMA gene therapy include nusinersen, sofosbuvir, and risdiplam, whic have limited scopes of application. Some drugs need to be used for a long time, and none of them can achieve a complete cure. Intrathecal injection of supplemented SMN1 gene has entered clinical trials, showing good curative effect. At the same time, basic researches indicate that CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology shows good prospect in correcting the mutant genes in SMA. This article reviews the clinical characteristics of SMA and research progress of gene therapy, aiming to provide a new perspective for diagnosis and treatment of SMA.

Objective:To investigate the function changes in neurovascular coupling (NVC) in patients with white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and its correlation with cognitive impairment.Methods:Thirty patients with moderate to severe WMHs admitted to the First People's Hospital of Changzhou from April 2023 to June 2024 (as case group), and 30 subjects with no or mild WMH matched by age, gender and educational level (as the control group) were included prospectively. The general clinical information was collected and cognitive assessment was conducted. Three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (3D-pCASL) and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data were collected to quantify cerebral blood flow (CBF) and functional connectivity strength (FCS). NVC function was evaluated through voxel-wise CBF-FCS correlation analysis. The CBF-FCS coefficients between groups were compared, the correlation between NVC and cognitive function was explored using partial correlation analysis, controlling for the false discovery rate (FDR).Results:The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes in moderate to severe WMHs group was significantly higher than that in the no or mild WMH group (all P<0.05), while the overall cognitive function, executive function and episodic memory function were significantly lower than those in the no or mild WMH group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the CBF-FCS coefficients of the whole brain gray matter between the moderate to severe WMHs group and the no or mild WMHs group. The CBF-FCS coefficients of the bilateral orbital frontal gyrus, right anterior cingulate gyrus, and bilateral hippocampus in the moderate to severe WMHs group were significantly lower than those in the no or mild WMHs group, while the CBF-FCS coefficients of the bilateral parietal gyrus and caudate nucleus were significantly higher than those in the no or mild WMHs group (all q<0.05 after FDR adjustment). Partial correlation analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, and education level, the CBF-FCS coefficients of the right anterior and lateral cingulate gyrus were negatively correlated with the executive function completion time in the moderate to severe WMHs group ( r=-0.55, q=0.04 after FDR adjustment), and the CBF-FCS coefficients of the right hippocampus were significantly positively correlated with the episodic memory scores ( r=0.59, q=0.03 after FDR adjustment). These correlations were not statistically significant in the no or mild WMHs group. Conclusion:Patients with moderate to severe WMHs exhibit NVC abnormalities in specific brain regions, which are closely associated with executive function and episodic memory impairment, suggesting that NVC dysfunction may be an important mechanism for WMHs-related cognitive impairment.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of clonidine adhesive patch in Tourette syndrome (TS) patients with comorbid attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: This study was conducted on a sample of children and adolescents with TS who had comorbid ADHD between May 2012 and March 2015. The patients were diagnosed according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, and were randomly assigned to four different dose groups: 1.0 mg/week, 1.5 mg/week, 2.0 mg/week and placebo group, and the symptom was evaluated by Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale, Version IV (SNAP-IV) and Yale Global Tic Severity Scale scales every 2 weeks. The primary outcome was tic disorders (TD) effective rate at week 8. Results: One hundred and twenty-seven TS patients with comorbid ADHD in 2.0 mg/week (n=35), 1.5 mg/week (n=27), 1.0 mg/week (n=36) and placebo groups (n=29) were included in this subgroup analysis. The TD effective rate of the 2.0 mg, 1.5 mg, and 1.0 mg groups at week 8 were significantly better than that in placebo group (85.7%, 81.5%, and 86.1% vs. 20.7%, all p<0.0001). All groups demonstrated significant improvements in SNAP-IV total scale scores compared to baseline (p=0.0004), with treatment groups showing only a trend for better performance compared to placebo group at week 8, without statistical differences (22.1±15.41, 21.3±11.96, and 21.2±12.48 vs. 26.0±13.37, p=0.3385). A total of 9 adverse reactions occurred, all recovered spontaneously without additional medication. Conclusion Clonidine adhesive patch could safely and effectively reduce the tic symptoms of TS patients with comorbid ADHD, and might be potentially helpful in the ADHD symptoms control.

Objective:To observe the effect of cross-education combined with electromyography(EMG)biofeedback inter-vention on the wrist dorsal extension function of patients with subacute stroke. Method:Forty-five patients with subacute stroke were randomly divided into cross-education group,EMG bio-feedback group,and combined group,with 15 cases in each group.The patients of three groups received rou-tine rehabilitation training.The cross-education group performed additional cross-education training on this ba-sis,the EMG biofeedback group performed additional EMG biofeedback training,and the combined group per-formed additional cross-education combined with EMG biofeedback.The above treatment lasted for 6 weeks,and before and after treatment,active joint range of motion(AROM),manual muscle test(MMT),simpli-fied Fugl-Meyer motor function score:upper extremity(FMA-UE),modified Barthel index(MBI)were used to assess the patient's wrist extension function,upper limb motor function and activities of daily living. Result:Before treatment,the three groups had no significant difference in FMA-UE score,wrist dorsiflexion AROM,muscle strength score,and MBI score(P＞0.05).After 6 weeks treatment,the FMA-UE score,wrist dorsiflexion AROM,muscle strength score,and MBI score of the three groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).When comparison among the groups,there was no significant difference in MBI score(P＞0.05),and other index score comparisons showed significant differences(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the comparison of the cross-education group and the EMG biofeed-back group(P＞0.05). Conclusion:Cross-education combined with EMG biofeedback is better than single cross-education or EMG biofeedback intervention in improving the wrist extension function,upper limb motor function and activities of daily living in patients with subacute stroke.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for combined coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in patients with ischemia and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA).Methods:From October 2020 to May 2022, 100 INOCA patients with myocardial ischemic symptoms who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) suggestive of <50% stenosis in all three coronary arteries at the Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University were prospectively recruited. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), transthoracic echocardiography and cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) SPECT coronary flow quantification were performed in the same month, and 93 INOCA patients (36 males and 57 females, age (63.0±10.9) years) were finally included. CMD was defined as coronary flow reserve (CFR)<2.5. Independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare MPI results and left ventricular volume parameters between CMD and non-CMD groups. ROC curve analysis was used to analyze the efficacy of each index in predicting CMD, and independent risk factors for CMD were screened by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:Among 93 INOCA patients, 29 were in the CMD group and 64 were in the non-CMD group. The age, proportion of hypertension, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), summed stress score (SSS), summed difference score (SDS), left ventricular internal diameter systolic (LVIDS), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) in the CMD group were higher than those in the non-CMD group ( t values: 2.42-3.76, χ2=8.94, z values: -3.31, -3.41, all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that LVMI, SSS, SDS, LVPWT, IVST and age were significant in predicting CMD (AUCs: 0.67-0.72). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LVMI (odds ratio ( OR)=1.08, 95% CI: 1.01-1.17), SDS ( OR=5.37, 95% CI: 1.95-14.78), hypertension ( OR=5.68, 95% CI: 1.34-24.18) and age ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.03-1.18) were risk factors for CMD. Conclusion:LVMI, SDS, hypertension and age are strongly associated with combined CMD in INOCA patients, which can be used for early risk stratification of INOCA patients.
