2.Impact of osteoporosis on fracture healing and strategies for pharmacological intervention
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2025;45(2):126-132
Osteoporotic fractures are characterized by reduced bone mass and microstructural abnormalities, leading to differences in the healing process compared to traumatic fractures. The fracture healing process is generally divided into the inflammatory phase, the repair phase and the remodeling phase. In patients with osteoporotic fractures, due to factors such as decreased bone density, reduced bone quality and aging, there are partial alterations in inflammatory cells and osteoimmunity associated with those three healing phases, ultimately affecting fracture healing. This article focuses on the differences in fracture healing between non-osteoporotic fractures and osteoporotic fractures, reviewing relevant research literature and consensus. It analyzes and discusses changes in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone metabolism during osteoporosis, the effects of inflammatory aging, underlying diseases, and anti-osteoporosis medications on fracture healing, as well as the changes observed after pharmacological intervention. The aim is to emphasize personalized treatment approaches that account for individual and bone-specific factors in managing osteoporotic fractures, striving to promote better fracture healing outcomes and improving patients' quality of life.

6.Reflection on low molecular weight heparin in obstetric practice
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2025;28(6):466-472
Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is an anticoagulant derived from the chemical cleavage of standard heparin, which possesses similar anticoagulant effects. LMWH has high bioavailability, a long half-life, does not cross the placentas, and is considered to be a safe medication during pregnancy. Consequently, LMWH is widely used in the prevention and treatment of various obstetric conditions. However, the clinical application of LMWH still encounters the problem of overconsumption and non-standardized usage. Based on existing evidence, this article summarizes the molecular mechanism of LMWH, its indications in obstetrics, side effects, and dosage selection in particular situations, aiming to provide insights into achieving a balance of benefits and potential risks for applying LMWH in obstetrics.

Objective:To explore the genotype and the clinical phenotype of SCN2A-related developmental delay in children. Methods:A case series study was adopted. Collect clinical data from 10 cases of children with SCN2A gene variants diagnosed with global developmental delay/intellectual disability who were admitted to the Children′s Hospital between July 2019 and March 2023. Summarize the clinical phenotype and genotype based on clinical data such as general information, clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, laboratory tests, genetic testing results, and comprehensive pediatric neuropsychological development assessment. Results:A total of 10 patients were recruited, including 7 males and 3 females, with an age range of 27 days to 5 years and 9 months. 9 patients underwent children′s neuropsychological and behavioral assessments, and the results were consistent with global developmental delay, including 2 mild cases, 4 moderate cases, and 3 severe cases. 3 cases had autism spectrum disorder, and 2 cases had epilepsy. 6 patients underwent complete head MRI examination, and 4 of them showed abnormalities, including delayed myelination, widening of the local extra brain space in the frontal lobe, and abnormal frontal lobe morphology. All 10 cases had point variants. Among them, 9 cases are de novo and 1 case is maternal inheritance. Out of 10 cases, there were 5 cases with copy number variations, but all of them were of unknown significance. Among the 10 variants, 8 have been reported and 2 have not been reported, namely c.4145A>T(p.N1382I) and c.4937T>A(p.I1646N). In this study, 4 out of 10 patients with SCN2A variants had variation sites located in the S4 segment of domain which constitute Nav1.2, the sodium ion channel encoded by SCN2A. The developmental quotient level was lower when the variation sites were located in the S4 segment of domain, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.101, P=0.017), indicating that the severity of developmental delay may be related to the localization of amino acids corresponding to variant sites within the protein domain. Conclusion:SCN2A mutations are strongly associated with diverse neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, the phenotypic spectrum of SCN2A variants encompassed epilepsy, global developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorder. Affected individuals exhibited early-onset developmental delays, predominantly moderate to severe in severity. Voltage-sensing domain dysfunction in sodium channels may constitute a critical pathomechanism underlying neurodevelopmental impairments. Further electrophysiological characterization and molecular mechanistic studies are warranted todelineate the genotype-phenotype correlations between specific variant loci and clinical severity.
