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.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a girl with primary microcephaly and growth retardation.Methods:A girl who was admitted to Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the child and her parents. Trio whole exome sequencing was carried out, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethnics Committee of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No. 202201278).Results:DNA sequencing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the WDR62 gene, including a frameshifting c. 2963delC (p.Pro988Argfs*80) variant in exon 24 which was inherited from the unaffected father, and a nonsense c.3163G>T (p.Glu1055*) variant in exon 26, which was inherited from her unaffected mother. Both variants were predicted to affect the reading frame of the WDR62 gene. Conclusion:Based on the clinical manifestations, results of genetic testing and pedigree analysis, the compound heterozygous variants were predicted to underlay the pathogenesis of microcephaly and growth retardation in this child. Above discovery has expanded the mutational spectrum for WDR62-associated Primary microcephaly type 2, and facilitated genetic counseling for the family.

Objective:To investigate the correlations between the bone mineral densities and biomechanical properties on different layers of the cancellous bone in the proximal tibia.Methods:Quantitative CT was conducted of the 15 specimens of adult male tibia. Based on the artificial destruction levels at the trabecular bone on the tibial plateau, the 15 specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=5): group A (cancellous bone on the 1.5 cm layer below the articular cartilage), group B (cancellous bone on the 3.0 cm layer under the articular cartilage) and group C (cancellous bone on the 0 to 3 cm range of the subchondral bone). After standing positions were simulated in the 3 sets of specimens, they were connected to a biomechanical testing machine. Twenty-four sites were selected and subjected to a vertical load of 600 N. Strain values and overall displacement values of the specimens were recorded before and after trabecular bone destruction. The correlations were analyzed between bone density and displacement values in groups A and B. The strain values before and after trabecular bone destruction, as well as the overall deformation values of the specimens were compared between the 3 groups. Results:The bone densities of specimens in groups A and B were negatively correlated with the displacement values before and after destruction ( P<0.05). Comparisons of strain values at the 24 sites before and after trabecular bone destruction within 3 groups: There were statistically significant differences in the strain values at 8 sites between before and after trabecular bone destruction in group A ( P<0.05). Of the 8 sites, 6 showed increased strains which were mainly concentrated around the insertion point of the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial tibial plateau. There were statistically significant differences in the strain values between before and after trabecular bone destruction at 3 sites in group B ( P<0.05). The strains at all the 3 sites increased, mainly concentrated behind the surface below the level of destruction. There were statistically significant differences in the strain values at 10 sites in group C between before and after trabecular bone destruction ( P<0.05). Of the 10 sites, 5 showed a decrease in the strain which was concentrated above the destruction plane, and 5 showed an increase in the strain which was concentrated below the destruction plane. The overall deformation values of the specimens in groups A, B, and C were (0.033±0.003) mm, (0.015±0.003) mm, and (0.066±0.007) mm, respectively, showing statistically significant differences between the 3 groups ( P<0.05) as well as between any 2 groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Bone mineral density in the cancellous bone of the proximal tibia has some value in assessment of the bone strength. Destruction of the proximal tibial cancellous bone can significantly change the strain distribution on the proximal tibia. The proximal cancellous bone of the tibia plays a key role in stress support and load conduction.

Objective To investigate the modeling of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis based on data mining,and to provide a reference for the preparation of a standardized Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis animal model.Methods We searched the CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,China Biomedical Literature Database,and PubMed Chinese-English Database by computer to obtain studies of animal experiments relating to Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis in the past 20 years.The species,modeling method,dosage,dosing cycle,modeling standards,and detection indexes were screened manually,and a database was established by using Microsoft Excel 2021 software for statistical analysis.The association rules of high-frequency indicators were analyzed using SPSS Modeler 18.0,and Cytoscape 3.6.1 was used to visually upgrade the association network diagram.Results A total of 106 articles that met the inclusion criteria were summarized.SD rats and KM mice were the mostly commonly used animal models of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis and most studies used drug-induced models.Bovine serum albumin(BSA)+lipopolysaccharide(LPS)+carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)+castor oil,ovalbumin(OVA)+Freund's complete adjuvant,gliadin+Indian ink,and BSA+staphylococcal enterotoxin B(SEB)were used to produce the animal models,generally with cycles of 5～14 weeks.The standard of modeling was skin purpura and increased numbers of urine red blood cells.Proteinuria,glomerular mesangial hyperplasia in kidney tissue,and immune complex mainly composed of immunoglobulin A(IgA)deposited in small blood vessels indicated successful modeling.There were 36 medical indexes,including 23 indexes related to the kidney and urine and nine indexes related to blood.Among these,10 indexes,such as 24 h urine protein quantification,interleukin,renal pathology,urine red blood cell count,IgA,circulating immune complex and creatinine were used in≥10%of cases.Cluster analysis of high-frequency indicators showed that the comprehensive evaluation model of 24 h urinary protein quantification+interleukin+renal pathology+urinary red blood cell count+IgA was mostly used.Conclusions Most existing animal models of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis have used male SD rats or female Kunming mice,and most models were induced by drugs.Among these,the method of stasis-heat syndrome combined with IgA nephropathy(disease-syndrome combination method)has the advantages of good repeatability and a high modeling rate,and may thus provide a reference for the selection of animal experimental models of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis.

Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycosides are one of the most commonly used Tripterygium wilfordii preparations， which have anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating effects. Their unique therapeutic effect on some autoimmune diseases and kidney diseases is almost irreplaceable by other similar drugs， but the possible reproductive damage is the bottleneck that hinders their clinical application. In clinical use， female patients often suffer from menstrual cycle disorders， decreased menstrual flow， even amenorrhea， infertility， and other symptoms， and the main toxic mechanism lies in damaging the reproductive and endocrine functions of the ovary and inhibiting the growth and development of follicles. Therefore， it is particularly necessary to understand the toxic and side effects of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycosides on female reproduction and master the detoxification methods during clinical use. However， there is no clear solution to these problems. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine， "kidney governs reproduction"， and the relationship between kidney Yin， kidney essence， and female ovum is close. Therefore， by considering that the damage to the reproductive system caused by Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycosides belongs to the category of kidney deficiency， Yin damage， and essence deficiency， the "strengthening kidney Yin" method is proposed. It points out that the reproductive toxicity damage of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycosides on the female can be effectively alleviated by tonifying kidney and Yin essence in clinical use. The relevant research on traditional Chinese medicine， classical prescription， test prescription， and acupuncture is summarized to verify the necessity of the "strengthening kidney Yin" method， so as to provide a theoretical basis for the safe and rational clinical use of Tripterygium wilfordii.

Objective We aimed to investigate the relationship between microscopic pattern of blood stasis and renal pathological grade and related physical and chemical indexes in children with Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis(HSPN).Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 800 HSPN children from the medical records of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine.Laboratory indicators(blood routine test,urine routine test,coagulation test,liver function)and renal pathological indicators of them were collected.According to the severity of renal pathological microscopic lesions,the microscopic pattern of blood stasis was divided into three types,including choroidal discord,dead blood coagulation and intracarenal disease accumulation.The classification of renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis and the correlation between laboratory indexes and renal pathological index were analyzed by Spearman grade correlation and binary Logistic regression analysis.Results(ⅰ)There was no statistical difference of the distribution of the renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis in the different traditional Chinese medicine patterns.(ⅱ)There were significant differences in the contents or the grade of albumin and fibrinogen in the HSPN children with different microscopic pattern of blood stasis(all P＜0.05).(ⅲ)The maximum area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve between fibrinogen and intracarenal disease accumulation was 0.594(95％CI from 0.540 to 0.633,P＜0.001);sensitivity was 0.447,specificity was 0.725;the best threshold on the ROC curve of 0.172 was 3.755 g/L.(ⅳ)There were positive correlations between the content of fibrinogen,ISKDC grade and Bohle A grade respectively with the scores of intracarenal disease accumulation type(r=0.176,r=0.315,r=0.656;all P＜0.001).(ⅴ)There were positive correlations between the content of fibrinogen,ISKDC grade and Bohle A grade respectively with the renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis(r=0.157,r=0.377,r=0.429;all P＜0.001).Conclusion The microscopic renal pattern of blood stasis can not only reflect the severity of renal blood stasis,but also reflect the severity and long-term prognosis of renal diseases.Albumin and urinary protein grade can reflect the early stage of the microscopic renal pattern of the blood stasis(choroidal discord).The content of fibrinogen increases with the aggravation of renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis,reflecting the end-stage of HSPN,which has the correlation with the formation and severity of related indexes.Fibrinogen can be used as a laboratory indicator to assist in the diagnosis of irreversible lesionsin the renal pathology of HSPN children.

Objective:To investigate the association of R-loop binding proteins with prognosis and chemotherapy efficacy in lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:The data related to R-loop regulatory genes were obtained from literature of R-loop proteomics and relevant databases.We used 403 cases of lung adenocarcinoma in the Cancer Genome Atlas as training set,and two datasets GSE14814 and GSE31210 in Gene Expression Omnibus as validation sets.The weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)was employed to identify R-loop genes with a significant impact on the clinical phenotype of lung adenocarcinoma.Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression analysis was utilized to eliminate genes exhibiting multicollinearity.A multivariate Cox regression analysis was employed to scrutinize clinical variables and R-loop characteristic genes that exert independent prognostic effects on patient survival.Subsequently,a risk score model was constructed.The predictive capacity of this model for the prognosis of patients was analyzed and validated.Additionally,the performance of risk model on the anti-tumor drug sensitivity was assessed.The mutations of R-loop genes were analyzed by maftools.The effect of PLEC expression on anti-tumor drug sensitivity was tested on non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma H1299 and A549 cells in vitro.Results:A collection of 1551 R-loop genes were obtained,and 78 genes exhibited significant effects on the clinical phenotype shown on WGCNA.The LASSO regression analysis retained fourteen R-loop genes.A multivariate Cox regression analysis further identified three R-loop genes(HEXIM1,GLI2,PLEC)and a clinical variable(tumor grading)that were associated with patient prognosis.Risk prediction model was established according to the regression coefficients of each parameter.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the prognosis of high-risk group was significantly worse than that of low-risk group(P<0.01).The time-dependent ROC curve showed that the risk model had good predictive ability in both training and validation sets.Predictive analyses of anti-neoplastic drug sensitivity indicated a diminished responsiveness to both chemotherapy and targeted treatment drugs among high-risk patients.The expression of PLEC was strongly correlated with sensitivity to gefitinib,a classical EGFR inhibitor.Conclusion:R-loop binding proteins have been identified as significant determinants in the prognosis and therapeutic strategies for lung adenocarcinoma,which indicates that therapeutic interventions targeting these specific R-loop binding proteins might contribute to a better survival of the patients.
