ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic effect of Tuina at the "Weizhong （BL 40）" on neuropathic pain in a rat model of chronic constriction injury （CCI） of the sciatic nerve and its potential central spinal mechanisms. MethodsThirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups （8 rats in each group）， sham-operated group， model group， Tuina group， and blockade group. The CCI model was established in the model group， Tuina group， and the blockade group by ligating the sciatic nerve with catgut， while the sham-operated group underwent only sciatic nerve exposure without ligation. From postoperative day 4 to day 14， rats in the Tuina group and the blockade group received Tuina manipulation at the "Weizhong （BL 40）" using a dynamic pressure distribution measurement system （5 N pressure， 2 Hz frequency， 10 min per session， once daily）. The blockade group also received intraperitoneal injections of the microglial inhibitor minocycline （10 mg/kg） once daily. The sham-operated and the model group underwent the same handling and fixation as the Tuina group without actual Tuina. Mechanical withdrawal threshold （MWT） and paw withdrawal latency （PWL） were measured before surgery and on day 3， 7， 10， and 14 post-surgery. Transmission electron microscopy was used to evaluate sciatic nerve injury and repair， measuring axon diameter and total myelinated fiber diameter to calculate the g-ratio. Western Blotting was performed to detect the protein levels of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba-1）， CD206， CD68， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， and β-endorphin （β-EP） precursor pro-opiomelanocortin （POMC） in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed significantly reduced MWT and PWL on day 3， 7， 10， and 14 （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Tuina group and the blockade group showed increased MWT and PWL on day 10 and 14 （P＜0.05）. Compared with the Tuina group， the blockade group exhibited higher MWT on day 7， 10， and 14， and higher PWL on day 10 （P＜0.05）. Sciatic nerve pathological morphology revealed intact and well-structured myelin in the sham-operated group， while the model group exhibited myelin collapse， distortion， and myelin ovoid formation. The Tuina group displayed partially irregular myelin with occasional myelin collapse， whereas the blockade group exhibited partial myelin irregularities and phospholipid shedding. Compared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed a decreased g-ratio and increased levels of Iba-1 and CD68 in the spinal dorsal horn （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Tuina group and the blockade group exhibited an increased g-ratio and reduced Iba-1 and CD68 levels. Additionally， the Tuina group showed elevated levels of CD206， IL-10， and POMC， whereas the blockade group had decreased CD206 levels （P＜0.05）. ConclusionTuina at "Weizhong （BL 40）" alleviates neuropathic pain in CCI rats， potentially by regulating microglial activation in the spinal cord， inhibiting M1 polarization while promoting M2 polarization， and activating the IL-10/β-EP pathway to exert analgesic effects.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Objective:To evaluate the early outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and discuss the revisions post THA in the treatment for Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) with severe hip problems.Methods:This retrospective cohort study enrolled 50 patients (64 hips) with a mean age of 52.4±8.7 years, including 25 male patients and 25 female patients (36 left hips and 28 right hips), who were diagnosed as KBD with hip problems and received THA at Arthritis Clinical and Research Centre, Peking University People's Hospital from October 2019 to January 2024. The leg length discrepancy (LLD), femoral offset (FO), abduction angle and anteversion angle were calculated preoperatively and one week post-operation. The postoperative radiological indexes and the functional outcomes in the last follow-up were compared with the preoperative assessment.Results:The surgical duration was 105(80, 120) min and the bleeding amount was 300(200, 400) ml. All the cases were followed up for an average of 37 months (ranging from 21 to 44 months). Significant differences were found on postoperative radiological images, with LLD improving to 0.50±0.78 cm from a preoperative value of -1.36±0.79 cm, and FO increasing to 3.28±1.01 cm from 2.72±0.83 cm ( P<0.05). The mean postoperative abduction angle and anteversion angle were 42.5°±7.7° and 15.1°±5.9°, respectively. A total of 71.8% and 95.3% hips fell within the Lewinnek safe zones of abduction angle and anteversion angle, respectively. In terms of functional outcomes, the average range of motion improved significantly to 185°(173°, 210°) from a preoperative value of 99°(76°, 123°), and the Harris Hip Score increased from 35(26, 43) preoperatively to 70(63, 80) postoperatively ( P<0.05). During the follow-up, there were complications for two cases of femoral stem loosening, one case of periprosthetic femoral fracture, one case of hip dislocation, and one case of acetabular component loosening with hip subluxation. Additionally, seven patients exhibited Trendelenburg gait. A total of five hips required revision surgery due to severe complications, including two cases of femoral stem loosening, one case of periprosthetic femoral fracture, one case of hip dislocation, and one case of acetabular component loosening with subluxation. Conclusions:Patients with KBD demonstrated significant early improvements in both radiological and functional outcomes following THA.

Objective:To explore the relationship between parenting styles of toddlers aged 30 months and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom trajectories in preschool children.Methods:The subjects were 2 111 children and their parents in Ma'anshan Birth Cohort. Parenting styles were assessed at 30 months of age using the Brief Toddler Parenting Style Questionnaire, which defines parenting styles on four dimensions: warmth and interaction, attention and acceptance, outdoor and social activities, and neglect and restrictions. The Chinese version of the Conners Abbreviated Symptom Questionnaire was used to examine preschooler's ADHD symptoms aged 3, 5, and 6 years. ADHD symptom trajectories were fitted using group-based trajectory modeling. The multinomial logistic regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between parenting styles at 30 months of age and ADHD symptom trajectories in children. The additive and multiplicative models were applied to analyze the interaction effect of negative parenting styles in children's ADHD symptom trajectories.Results:ADHD symptom trajectories in children included the low-score (48.3%), moderate-score (47.7%), and high-score groups (4.0%). After adjusting for the confounding factors, the results of the multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that negative parenting styles of the father/mother were associated with ADHD symptom trajectories in children ( P<0.05). The father/mother's low warmth and interaction (father: OR=2.07,95% CI:1.68-2.54; mother: OR=2.02,95% CI:1.64-2.48), low attention and acceptance (father: OR=1.94,95% CI:1.57-2.39; mother: OR=1.47,95% CI:1.20-1.81), low outdoor and social (father: OR=1.74,95% CI:1.43-2.13; mother: OR=1.60,95% CI:1.32-1.94), and high neglect and restriction (father: OR=2.09,95% CI:1.67-2.62; mother: OR=2.06,95% CI:1.65-2.56) were associated with ADHD symptom moderate-score trajectories compared to the low-score trajectory group, mother's low warmth and interaction, low outdoor and social, and high neglect and restrictions. Statistically significant association was seen in negative parenting styles of fathers with the high-score group. There was a multiplicative interaction for hostile parenting ( P<0.05). The additive interaction results showed that there was a synergistic effect of hostile parenting, which increased the risk of the high-score trajectories of ADHD symptoms in children. Conclusions:Both parents' parenting styles influenced ADHD symptom change the trajectories in preschoolers. Negative parenting styles of the father/mother increase the risk of the moderate-score and high-score trajectories of ADHD symptoms in children. Hostile parenting by both parents has a synergistic impact on the risk of ADHD symptom trajectories in children, and the simultaneous presence of both increases the risk of the high-score trajectory of ADHD symptoms.

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.

Objective:The impact of bystander CD8 + T cells (CD8 + Tbys) within the tumor microenvironment on the prognosis of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear, particularly concerning their infiltration differences at the invasive margin (IM) and tumor center (TC). Methods:We retrospectively collected postoperative specimens from 173 patients with primary early-stage NSCLC who underwent radical surgery at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from 2014 to 2018. Tissue microarrays encompassing IM and TC regions were prepared and subjected to multicolor immunofluorescence staining (CK/CD8/CD103/DAPI). Image processing and phenotype recognition (CD8 + T cells, CK -CD8 +; CD8 + T bys, CK -CD8 +CD103 -) were performed using inFrom software, and automatic quantitative cell density analysis was conducted using R language. Differences in CD8 + T and CD8 + T bys densities at IM and TC were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The relationship between CD8 + T, CD8 + T bys and clinicopathological features was examined using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The impact of CD8 + T and CD8 + T bys on recurrence-free survival (RFS) was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier, log-rank, and Cox proportional hazards models. Results:A total of 173 patients with stage ⅠA-ⅡA NSCLC were included, with a recurrence rate of 26.6% (46/173) and a median RFS of 62.3 months (range: 44.7-71.9 months). CD8 + T and CD8 + T bys densities (1/1 000) were significantly higher in the IM region than in the TC region [70(32, 155) vs. 37(18, 88), P＜0.001; 25(11, 46) vs. 18(7, 34), P=0.002]. No significant association was found between CD8 + T, CD8 + T bys and age, gender, smoking history, histological type, or pathological stage (all P＞0.05). Patients with low-density IM CD8 + T cells had lower RFS compared to those with high-density IM CD8 + T cells ( P=0.021; median RFS not reached), Further analysis revealed that patients with low-density IM CD8 + T bys cell had lower RFS compared to those with high-density IM CD8 + T bys ( P=0.047; median RFS not reached), and low-density IM CD8 + T cell was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence ( HR=1.836, 95% CI:1.007-3.347, P=0.048). Joint analysis of IM and TC revealed that patients with low IM CD8 + T bys and high TC CD8 + T bys had significantly lower RFS compared to the other three groups ( P=0.006), and this combination was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence in early-stage NSCLC ( HR=2.090, 95% CI:1.162-3.760, P=0.014). Conclusions:The spatial distribution of bystander CD8 + T cells within the primary tumor influences the prognosis of patients with early-stage NSCLC. Patients with low-density IM CD8 + T bys and high-density TC CD8 + T bys are more prone to recurrence after radical surgery.

NAFLD is the most prevalent chronic liver disease,which has become a world public health issue and the incidence rate is also showing an increasing trend.A series of liver disea-ses,such as simple fatty liver disease,NASH,liver cirrhosis,liv-er failure and liver cancer,can be collectively referred to as NAFLD.Through the study of numerous factors that influence the production of NAFLD,it has been found that the main patho-logical mechanism is excessive synthesis of fat,which is difficult to be transported into the blood,causing massive lipid accumula-tion.Alcohol has a direct damaging effect on liver and will in-hibit the breakdown of liver fat,eventually forming AFLD.How-ever,it is still controversial whether alcohol has a synergistic effect on NAFLD onset.This article provides a review on the effect of alcohol intake on NAFLD and its potential mechanisms of action.

Aim To investigate the intervention effect of Rehmannia radix water extract on bleomycin(BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice combined with metabolomics and to reveal the potential mechanism,in order to provide new ideas for clinical treatment of pul-monary fibrosis.Methods Male C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into the control group,model group,pirfenidone group(positive control,PFD,270 mg·kg-1),and low dose(DH-L,4.55 g·kg-1)group,medium dose(DH-M,9.1 g·kg-1)group and high dose(DH-H,18.2 g·kg-1)group of Rehman-nia.Except for the control group,BLM(5 mg·kg-1)was instilled into the trachea to establish the model of pulmonary fibrosis in the other groups.The survival rate,lung index and blood oxygen saturation of mice in each group were evaluated.HE and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue.WBP was used to detect lung function.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of primary lung cells,ROS and immune cells.ELISA was used to detect the levels of fibrosis markers and inflammatory factors(α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ,TGF-β1,TNF-α,IL-1 β,and IL-6).Biochemical method was employed to detect the contents of GSH-Px,T-SOD and MDA.Liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer(LC-MS)metabolomics was used to analyze the changes of serum metabolic profile.Results Water extract of Re-hmannia significantly increased the survival rate,oxy-gen saturation and lung function of mice with pulmona-ry fibrosis,reduced the lung coefficient,ameliorated pathological damage and collagen deposition in lung tissue,reduced the levels of apoptosis and oxidative stress,and down-regulated the levels of inflammatory factors in lung tissue.It regulated the levels of metabo-lites such as bile acid metabolism,sphingolipid metabo-lism,and unsaturated fatty acid metabolism.Conclu-sions Water extract of Rehmannia inhibits lung injury and collagen deposition in mice with pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting inflammatory response,which may be a-chieved by regulating the levels of inflammatory factors through the metabolic pathways of bile acid and sphin-golipid.
