Approximately 60% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients exhibit TP53 mutations, which are strongly associated with tumor progression, chemotherapy resistance, and an unfavorable prognosis. However, targeting p53 has historically been challenging, and currently, there are no approved p53-based therapeutics for clinical use worldwide. In this study, we discovered that ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolase L3 (UCHL3) plays a crucial role in high-level glycolysis, enhanced stem-like properties, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemoresistance in TP53-mutant CRC by exerting its deubiquitinating enzyme activity to stabilize α-enolase (ENO1) protein. Notably, we identified a newly Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug, pacritinib, that potently suppresses UCHL3 expression by blocking the janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway in TP53-mutant CRC. Furthermore, Pacritinib was demonstrated to effectively inhibit glycolysis and improve the sensitivity to 5-FU chemotherapy in TP53-mutant CRC. Our findings suggest that targeting the JAK2-STAT3-UCHL3-ENO1 axis is a promising strategy to suppress glycolysis and enhance the efficacy of 5-FU chemotherapy in TP53-mutant CRC. Pacritinib shows potential for clinical application in the treatment of TP53-mutant CRC.

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.

Objective:To construct and validate a predictive model for pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.Methods:This retrospective observational study included 595 patients with stage T2-4 and (or) N+M0 LARC diagnosed in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University who had no metastases, tolerated neoadjuvant therapy, completed neoadjuvant therapy, and had undergone radical surgery after neoadjuvant therapy. The training set comprised 299 patients admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2013 to 2018, the internal validation set 155 patients admitted from 2019 to 2023, and the external validation set 141 patients admitted to the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2013 to 2021. They were divided into pCR group and non-pCR groups according to postoperative pathology. Among the 299 patients in the training set, 247 were in the non-PCR and 52 in the pCR group; among the 155 patients verified internally, 113 were in the non-PCR and 42 in the pCR group; and among the 141 patients validated externally, 132 were in the non-pCR and nine in the pCR group. Logistic regression was used for univariate and multifactorial analysis to explore the factors associated with pCR and construct a nomogram prediction model. Receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to validate the performance of the predictive model.Results:Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that carbohydrate antigen 19-9 ( P=0.040, OR=0.97, 95%CI: 0.93-0.99), neutrophil count ( P<0.001, OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.52-0.84), tumor T stage: Stage IV ( P=0.011, OR=0.22, 95%CI: 0.07-0.70), tumor N stage: Stage I ( P=0.003, OR=0.22,95%CI:0.08-0.60), Stage II ( P<0.001, OR=0.03, 95%CI: 0.01-0.09) and involvement of mesorectal fascia ( P=0.004, OR=0.09, 95%CI: 0.02-0.47) were independent predictors of pCR. In the training set, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the model was 0.92 (95%CI: 0.87-0.96), whereas in the internal and external validation sets, the AUCs were 0.78 and 0.81, respectively. The calibration curve showed that the prediction model had good prediction efficiency in both the training and verification sets. Decision curve analysis showed that the net benefit of the model was largest when the threshold probability was in the range of 5.2% to 89.7% (in the internal and external validation sets, the threshold probabilities were in the range of 15.7% to 92.3% and 2.2% to 84.1%, respectively). Conclusion:The nomogram model constructed in this study showed efficacy in predicting whether patients with LARC will achieve pCR after receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Protective ileostomy is an important bridging procedure in low anterior resection for rectal cancer, aimed at preventing severe anastomotic complications. It has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of pelvic infections resulting from anastomotic leakage. However, whether ileostomy plays a positive clinical role in preventing anastomotic leaks remains a subject of considerable debate. The procedure for creating a protective ileostomy is relatively simple and convenient, making it a commonly used approach in clinical practice. Nevertheless, as a traumatic surgical procedure, ileostomy itself may lead to a range of complications. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively understand the potential complications associated with ileostomy, develop optimized management strategies, and carefully select appropriate patients for preventive ileostomy, as these steps hold significant clinical value. This article provides a systematic review of the types, development, and application of preventive ileostomy, as well as the management and prevention strategies for common complications. The aim is to offer valuable guidance to clinical surgeons in optimizing stoma management and minimizing complications in rectal cancer sphincter-preserving surgery.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of early neurological deterioration(END)in patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusive mild stroke who were treated with medications alone within 72 h after onset.Methods Retrospective consecutive data were collected of patients with acute large-vessel occlusive mild stroke who presented to the Advanced Stroke Center of Linyi People's Hospital within 24 h of onset from January 2021 to December 2022.END was defined as an increase of ≥ 4 points in the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(N1HSS)score within 72 h after onset compared to the admission score.Patients were divided into the neurological deterioration group and the stable condition group(NIHSS score did not increase or increased by 1-3 points within 72 h after onset compared to the admission score).Baseline and clinical data of all patients were collected,including sex,age,cerebrovascular disease risk factors(hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hyperlipidemia,coronary heart disease,atrial fibrillation,smoking,alcohol consumption,stroke history),NIHSS score at admission,time from onset to admission,systolic blood pressure at admission,diastolic blood pressure at admission,laboratory test indicators at admission(blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,homocysteine,total cholesterol,triglyceride,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,neutrophils,lymphocytes and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio),responsible occlusion artery(internal carotid artery,middle cerebral artery,anterior cerebral artery),affected cerebral hemisphere,collateral circulation score,and medications used within 72 h after admission(intravenous thrombolysis+dual antiplatelet therapy,tirofiban+dual antiplatelet therapy,argatroban+dual antiplatelet therapy,argatroban alone,dual antiplatelet therapy alone).Variables with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis to explore the independent influencing factors for END in patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusive mild stroke treated with medications alone.Results A total of 208 patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusive mild stroke were included,with 143 males and 65 females,aged 38-85 years,with an average age of(64±9)years.Among them,86 patients were in the neurological deterioration group and 122 in the stable condition group.(1)There were statistically significant differences between the neurological deterioration group and the stable condition group in terms of history of diabetes mellitus(39.5％[34/86]vs.17.2％[21/122]),smoking history(43.0％[37/86]vs.29.5％[36/122]),left cerebral hemisphere lesion(57.0％[49/86]vs.41.0％[50/122]),collateral circulation score(4[3,5]vs.5[4,5]),time from onset to admission(7.0[3.0,17.0]hvs.4.3[2.0,11.0]h),blood glucose at admission(7.4[5.8,10.0]mmol/L vs.6.7[5.8,7.7]mmol/L),neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(3.8[2.4,5.1]vs.3.0[2.1,4.3]),dual antiplatelet therapy alone(19.8％[17/86]vs.6.6％[8/122]),and argatroban+dual antiplatelet therapy(8.1％[7/86]vs.29.5％[36/122];all P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the results of the remaining univariate analyses(all P＞0.05).(2)Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus(OR,2.674,95％CI 1.121-6.377,P=0.027)and left cerebral hemisphere vessel occlusion(OR,2.030,95％CI I.083-3.806,P=0.027)were independent risk factors for END in acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusive mild stroke.Argatroban+dual antiplatelet therapy(OR,0.267,95％CI 0.116-0.613,P=0.002)and high collateral circulation score(OR,0.551,95％CI 0.368-0.824,P=0.004)were independent protective factors for END in acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusive mild stroke.Conclusions Acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusive mild stroke patients with diabetes mellitus or left cerebral hemisphere lesions are prone to END.The combination of argatroban and dual antiplatelet therapy and good collateral circulation can reduce the risk of END.

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.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.
