Ankle sprains are the most common lesion of the ankle joint which might result in chronic ankle instability (CAI). Significant strides have been taken to enhance our comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of CAI, as the exploration of novel surgical techniques and the identification of previously unrecognized anatomical components. The present review aims to provide an extensive overview of CAI, encompassing its pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation. Treatment of CAI requires a multifaceted algorithm, involving historical analysis, clinical evaluations, and diagnostic imaging. Surgical interventions for CAI primarily involve the anatomical and/or non-anatomical reconstruction and/or repair of the anterior talofibular ligament. Anatomical repair has exhibited superior functional outcomes and a reduced risk of secondary osteoarthritis compared to non-anatomical repair. Non-anatomical approaches fall short of replicating the normal biomechanics of the anterior talofibular ligament, potentially leading to postoperative stiffness. This review seeks to academically review and up-to-date literature on this issue, tailored for clinical practice, with the intent of aiding surgeons in staying abreast of this critical subject matter.

Objective Chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)is often accompanied by intestinal flora disorder and intestinal symptoms,forming the phenomenon of"stomach disease involving intestine".This study explored the dynamic correlation between intestinal symptoms and qi-stagnation degree in patients with CAG qi-stagnation syndrome and analyzed the characteristics of gut microbiota from the perspective of"spleen-stomach system serving as the pivotal hub of qi movement"in TCM.Methods According to the syndrome element differentiation method,410 patients with CAG were divided into four groups:non-qi-stagnation group,mild qi-stagnation group,moderate qi-stagnation group and severe qi-stagnation group.Correlation analysis and 16S intestinal flora sequencing technology were used to analyze the correlation and differential flora between the degree of CAG qi-stagnation and intestinal symptoms.Results Patients with CAG qi-stagnation syndrome were often accompanied by intestinal symptoms such as frequent flatulence,poor defecation and alternating loose-constipated stools.The frequency of cases was significantly positively correlated with the degree of qi-stagnation"non-mild-moderate-severe"(P<0.05).There was a difference in the abundance of gut microbiota between the four groups of CAG qi-stagnation none,mild,moderate and severe.The relative abundance of Streptococcus,Subdoligranulum,Eubacterium_coprostanoligenes_group and Haemophilus was positively correlated with the degree of qi-stagnation.The relative abundance of Ruminococcus_torques_group and Butyricicoccus showed a negative correlation,and Haemophilus was statistically significant among the four groups(P<0.05).Conclusion This study can provide clinical evidence and micro-mechanism for the connotation of"gastrointestinal co-morbidities"and"different diseases with the same syndrome",which may open up new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To observe the effects of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) inhibitor AFM-30a on silicotic mice and its possible mechanisms.Methods:In May 2022, 40 SPF male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group, AFM-30a group, silicosis model group and AFM-30a treatment group, with 10 mice in each group. Silicosis model group and AFM-30a treatment group were perfused with silicon dioxide (SiO 2) suspension (10 mg/piece, 50 μl), and the other groups were perfused with an equal amount of sodium chloride solution. After 2 weeks, AFM-30a group and AFM-30a treatment group were intraperitoneally injected AFM-30a (20 mg/kg, 100 μl) daily, and mice of other groups were injected with equal amounts of sodium chloride solution for 4 weeks. Mouse RAW264.7 monocytes/macrophages were cultured in vitro and divided into blank control group, AFM-30a group (5 μmol/L), SiO 2 group (200 μg/ml), and SiO 2+AFM-30a group (200 μg/ml SiO 2 induction for 12 h, followed by 5 μmol/L AFM-30a treatment for 12 h). As well as blank control group, vimentin (Vim) group (2 μg/ml), citrullinated vimentin (Cit-Vim) group (2 μg/ml), and Cit-Vim+TLR4-C34 group (10 μmol/L TLR4-C34 treatment for 1 h, followed by 2 μg/ml Cit-Vim induction for 24 h). Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological morphology of lung. The lung fieldclarity and lung texture of each group was observed by micro-CT. The number of positive cells was detected by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. The localization and expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) signaling proteins were measured by Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting in vitro and in vivo. The experimental data were all presented as Mean±SD. A completely random design of one-way analysis of variance was used among the groups. The pduo comparison was performed using LSD test for homogeneity of variance and Tamhane's test for inconsistency. Results:Compared with the control group, the silicosis model group showed the formation of silicon nodules accompanied by collagen deposition, the silicosis model group showed thickened, and several high-density shadows of varying sizes in the lung field, and the number of TRAP positive cells in silicosis model group were increased significantly, the expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signal-related proteins were also significantly increased in silicosis groupmodel ( P<0.05). Compared with the silicosis model group, the AFM-30a treatment group reduced deposition of collagen in lung, and the number of TRAP positive cells was decreased in AFM-30a treatment group. The expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins were significantly decreased in AFM-30a treatment group ( P<0.05). In vitro, compared with the blank control group, the number of TRAP positive cells and the expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the SiO 2 group were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with the SiO 2 group, the number of TRAP positive cells and the expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the SiO 2+AFM-30a group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the expression levels of TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the Cit-Vim group were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with the Cit-Vim group, the expression levels of TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the Cit-Vim+TLR4-C34 group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:PAD2 inhibitor AFM-30a may play an antagonisticrole in silicotic fibrosis in mice by potentialregulating TLR4 and RANKL signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the value of a combined model incorporating clinical parameters,conventional metabolic pa-rameters of 18F-PSMA PET/CT,and radiomics features in the early prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 124 patients who underwent 18 F-PSMA PET/CT and had complete pathological da-ta at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University or Gansu Provincial People's Hospital.A total of 96 patients from Gansu Provincial Peo-ple's Hospital were randomly divided into a training set and an internal validation set at a 7∶3 ratio,while 28 patients from the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University served as an external validation set.In the training set,clinical parameters and radiomics features were i-dentified through Pearson correlation analysis and optimized using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)combined with 10-fold cross-validation.Logistic regression was applied to develop separate clinical PET,radiomics,and combined models.Mod-el performance was assessed through receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis and calibration curves to evaluate predictive accuracy,decision curve analysis(DCA)to assess clinical utility.Results Three clinical and conventional PET parameters and five ra-diomics features were selected to construct the clinical PET model,radiomics model,and combined model.ROC analysis showed that all three models exhibited good predictive performance,with the combined model achieving the highest performance in the training,internal validation,and external validation sets(AUC were 0.973,0.933,and 0.813,respectively).Calibration curves and DCA indicated that the combined model demonstrated strong generalizability and predictive stability across all datasets.Conclusion The combined model in-corporating clinical parameters,conventional metabolic parameters of 18F-PSMA PET/CT,and radiomics features shows good value in the early prediction of csPCa.
