Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Wenjing Decoction in treating endometriosis(EMT)using bioinformatics methods and in vitro experiments.Methods The active components and corresponding targets of Wenjing Decoction were obtained from the TCMSP database,while EMT-related targets were identified using the GEO database.Functional enrichment analysis was conducted on the targets to predict core targets for treating EMT with Wenjing Decoction.Molecular docking was performed on core targets-drug ligands,and in vitro experiments validated the findings.Results Through screening the TCMSP database,117 active components of Wenjing Decoction were identified,corresponding to 248 targets;5 312 EMT-related differential genes were gathered from GEO database,identifying 97 potential targets of Wenjing Decoction for treating EMT,with core targets being IL6,TNF and EGFR.Functional enrichment analysis of EMT differential genes showed enrichment in pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,MAPK signaling pathway,endocytosis,calcium signaling pathway,autophagy and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.Molecular docking showed that IL6,TNF,EGFR bind stably to their corresponding drug ligands.In vitro experiments indicated that Wenjing Decoction could inhibit the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway,promote LC3 Ⅰ to LC3 Ⅱ conversion,enhance the expression of Beclin-1,and reduce P62 expression.Moreover,Wenjing Decoction could hinder the expression of the endometriosis-specific biomarker CA125,decrease EGFR,IL-6 and TNF-α expressions in ectopic endothelial cells,inhibiting proliferation.Conclusion Wenjing Decoction can treat EMT through multiple pathways and targets,with the key mechanism being the reversal of autophagy inhibition via down-regulating of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

OBJECTIVE: To explore clinical efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma(PRP) in treating Rockwood type Ⅲ acromioclavicular dislocation. METHODS: From January 2019 to July 2021, 32 patients with Rockwood type Ⅲ acromioclavicular dislocation were treated with minimally invasive adjustable titanium plate internal fixation, and were divided into PRP group and control group according to whether PRP treatment was performed, with 16 patients in each group. In PRP group, there were 10 males and 6 females, aged from 28 to 47 years old with an average of (36.75±7.14) years old;the time from injury to surgery ranged from 1 to 31 h with an average of (26.13±3.98) h;5 patients on the left side and 11 patients on the right side;PRP was injected once during operation and the 4th and 8th weeks after operation respectively. In control group, there were 8 males and 8 females, aged from 30 to 52 years old with an average of (38.50±5.48) years old; the time from injury to surgery ranged from 1 to 29 h with an average of (25.48±3.11) h;7 patients on the left side and 9 patients on the right side; minimally invasive surgical treatment was performed. Visual analogue scale(VAS) was used to evaluate pain and Constant-Murley score for shoulder joint function was used to evaluate the recovery of shoulder joint movement function before operation and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation respectively. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 12 to 28 months with an average of (18.3±5.2) months. All incisions patients healed well without adverse events such as infection. Postoperative VAS of PRP group at 1, 3, and 6 months were (5.5±1.2), (3.7±1.6), and (2.4±1.2), respectively, while were lower than those of control group (6.6±1.4), (4.9±1.1), and (3.7±1.3), respectively;and had statistical differences between two groups (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in VAS between two groups before operation and 12 months after operation (P>0.05). Postoperative Constant-Murley scores of PRP group at 1, 3, and 6 months were (64.09±11.61), (73.19±12.89), and (82.61±14.81) points, respectively, which were higher than those of control group were (52.32±17.42), (61.65±14.43), and (72.52±11.04) respectively;and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in Constant-Murley scores at 12 months after operation between two groups (P>0.05). In PRP group, there was no statistically significant difference at 6 months and 12 months after operation (P>0.05), while there were statistically significant differences at the other time points (1 month after operation compared with before operation, 3 months after operation compared with 6 months after operation, and 3 months after operation compared with 1 month after operation) (P<0.05). In control group, there was no statistically significant difference when comparing 1 month and 3 months after operation (P>0.05), while at the other time points (1 month after operation with before operation, 3 months after operation with 6 months after operation, and 6 months after operation with 12 months after operation), the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Adjustable titanium plate fixation combined with postoperative injection of PRP for the treatment of Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation has effect of promoting the recovery of shoulder joint function and reducing pain.

The inflammatory effect of dietary is strongly related to the development of cancer,therefore,the diet-related inflammatory index was developed as a methodological tool to investigate the relationship between dietary,inflammation and tumors.In this paper,we summarized the results on diet-related inflammatory indices and common cancers of the digestive system based on relevant cancer epidemiological studies.The available epidemiological evidence suggests that pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal malignancies,with the strongest association with colorectal cancer,followed by esophageal and gastric cancers,and then pancreatic cancer,and the least evidence of studies with liver cancer.Among these studies,the level of evidence for esophageal cancer is lower than colorectal cancer,the study of gastric cancer has gender differences and problems in adjusting for confounders,and the study of pancreatic cancer has heterogeneous results.In view of the current research progress and deficiencies,prospective studies or population-based cohort studies,as well as strengthening nutritional epidemiological studies related to common tumors such as liver cancer could be considered in the future.This review is expecting to provide basic information and scientific basis for strengthening the related healthy eating behavior promotion in the prevention and control of digestive system tumors.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the comorbidity of chronic diseases and concurrent traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitutions in the elderly in Guangzhou.Methods From the physical examination data of 3 communities in Guangzhou,3 078 elderly people were selected as the survey objects,and association analysis was performed for mining the association rules between the chronic disease comorbidity and concurrent TCM constitution types of the elderly with different demographic characteristics.Results The comorbidity rate of chronic diseases in the elderly of Guangzhou area was 76.54％(2 356/3 078).In the elderly population of Guangzhou area,the correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the concurrent constitution of tendentious blood stasis constitution and phlegm-damp constitution had the highest confidence,which was 95.87％.The correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the gender showed that the concurrent constitution was similar in the elderly with different genders.The correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the concurrent constitution of phlegm-damp constitution and tendentious yin deficiency constitution in the male elderly had the confidence of 94.38％,and the correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the concurrent constitution of phlegm-damp constitution and tendentious blood stasis constitution in the female elderly had the confidence of 97.46％.With the increase of the age,the biased constitution of the elderly with chronic diseases gradually developed into the concurrent constitution of phlegm blended with blood stasis,and the concurrent constitution of qi deficiency constitution and yang deficiency constitution became the predominated.Conclusion The comorbidity rate of chronic diseases in the elderly is high.The association patterns of the comorbidity of chronic diseases with concurrent constitution types vary in different age groups.Medical institutions can condition the concurrent constitution with Chinese medicine therapy according to the characteristics of the concurrent constitutions of the elderly,and then can improve the comorbidity of chronic diseases in the elderly.

Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide, causing an more serious burden of disease. Inflammation is considered a predisposing factor for cancer with close relationship with its incidence. In recent years, the public and epidemiologists has paid more attention to the association between nutrition and cancer and other chronic diseases in the perspective of inflammation. This paper summarizes the development and application of the diet-related inflammatory index in cancer epidemiological studies based on the literature retrieval of common diet-related inflammatory index. Firstly, we highlight the common diet-related inflammatory indices and their construction methods, such as the Dietary Inflammatory Index, a literature-derived diet-related inflammatory index, and the Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index, an empirically derived diet-related inflammatory index, and so on. Secondly, the epidemiological research progress on the commonly used diet-related inflammatory indices is briefly introduced. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the two types of this inflammatory indices are also briefly described for the purpose of providing reference for nutrition epidemiological studies of cancer and other chronic diseases in China.
