OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical efficacy of manual reduction combined with 3D printing small splint external fixation and synchronous manual reduction combined with traditional small splint external fixation in the treatment of humeral shaft. METHODS: Between January 2021 and December 2022, 40 patients with humeral shaft fractures were treated with 3D printing small splints and traditional small splints. They were divided into 3D group and traditional group according to different fixation methods. Among them, there were 15 males and 5 females in the 3D group, aged from 20 to 52 years old with an average of (36.3±15.6) years old. In the traditional group there were 17 males and 3 females, aged from16 to 51 years old with an average of (32.9±17.2) years old. The occurrence of complications, duration of fracture healing, rate of fracture healing, subjective evaluation scores for brace comfort at 1 week and 4 weeks, as well as the Constant-Murley shoulder function score and Mayo elbow function score at 8 weeks and 16 weeks were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 16 weeks. The 3D group did not experience any complications, while there were two cases of complications in the traditional group. However, this difference was not found to be statistically significant (χ²=2.105, P=0.146). The fracture healing time of the 3D group (90.1±4.5) days was significantly shorter compared to that of the traditional group (93.3±3.8) days (P<0.05). The subjective evaluation scores for brace comfort in the 3D group (53.7±2.3) points and (62.8±1.1) points were significantly higher than those in the traditional group (45.6±2.4) points and (52.3±1.4) points at 1 and 4 weeks after reduction (P<0.05). After 8 weeks of reduction, the Constant-Murley shoulder function score in the 3D group was(68.1±5.3) points, which demonstrated a statistically significant improvement compared to the traditional group(54.3±4.9) points (P<0.05). However, at 16 weeks post-reduction, there were no significant differences observed between the two groups (P>0.05). The Mayo elbow function score of the 3D group (84.1±7.5) points was significantly superior to that of the traditional group (79.5±6.8) points at 8 weeks post-reduction (P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 16 weeks post-reduction (P>0.05). CONCLUSION For humeral shaft fractures with conservative treatment indications, manual reduction combined with 3D printed small splints is a good choice for treatment. The patient's comfort level is higher, which can not only reduce the occurrence of complications, but also improve the fracture healing rate and joint function to a certain extent, and improve the patient's quality of life.

Results:Of the 797 junior high school students included in the analysis, 377 were male, aged (14.41±0.59) years with a height of (1.73±0.07) m and a weight of (63.72±14.31) kg; and 420 were female, aged (14.35±0.55) years with a height of (1.64±0.05) m and a weight of (52.59±8.34) kg. In male and female junior high school students, alexithymia, positive affects, negative affects, and body image concern were positively correlated with compulsive exercise (male: r=0.289, 0.291, 0.286, 0.259, female: r=0.226, 0.297, 0.121, 0.244) (all P<0.05). After controlling for body mass index and age, alexithymia, positive affect, negative affect and body image concern positively predicted compulsive exercise in male students ( β=0.286, 0.294, 0.195, 0.192), and alexithymia, positive affect and body image concern positively predicted compulsive exercise in female students ( β=0.216, 0.349, 0.202) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Alexithymia and body image concern can increase the risk of compulsive exercise in both male and female junior high school students, and negative affect can increase the risk of compulsive exercise in male students.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.

To explore the mechanism by which vinegar-processed Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix regulates gut microbiota and reduces intestinal toxicity, this study aimed to identify key microbial communities related to vinegar-induced detoxification and verify their functions. Using a derivatization method, the study measured the content of short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs) in feces before and after vinegar-processing of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix. Combined with the results of previous gut microbiota sequencing, correlation analysis was used to identify key microbial communities related to SCFAs content. Through single-bacterium transplantation experiments, the role of key microbial communities in regulating SCFAs metabolism and alleviating the intestinal toxicity of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix was clarified. Fecal extracts were then added to a co-culture system of Caco-2 and RAW264.7 cells, and toxicity differences were evaluated using intestinal tight junction proteins and inflammatory factors as indicators. Additionally, the application of a SCFAs receptor blocker helped confirm the role of SCFAs in reducing intestinal toxicity during vinegar-processing of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix. The results of this study indicated that vinegar-processing of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix improved the decline in SCFAs content caused by the raw material. Correlation analysis revealed that Bifidobacterium was positively correlated with the levels of acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, n-butyric acid, isovaleric acid, and n-valeric acid. RESULTS:: from single-bacterium transplantation experiments demonstrated that Bifidobacterium could mitigate the reduction in SCFAs content induced by raw Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix, enhance the expression of tight junction proteins, and reduce intestinal inflammation. Similarly, cell experiment results confirmed that fecal extracts from Bifidobacterium-transplanted mice alleviated inflammation and increased the expression of tight junction proteins in intestinal epithelial cells. The use of the free fatty acid receptor-2 inhibitor GLPG0974 verified that this improvement effect was related to the SCFAs pathway. This study demonstrates that Bifidobacterium is the key microbial community responsible for reducing intestinal toxicity in vinegar-processed Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix. Vinegar-processing increases the abundance of Bifidobacterium, elevates the intestinal SCFAs content, inhibits intestinal inflammation, and enhances the expression of tight junction proteins, thereby improving the intestinal toxicity of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix.
