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 evaluate the clinical efficacy of Long's spinal manipulation therapy combined with four postures of rotational tendon-releasing maneuver in treating lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods Sixty-eight patients diagnosed with LDH were enrolled from the Department of Acupuncture and Rehabilitation at Guangdong Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital between July 2024 and December 2024.Patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table,with 34 cases in each group.The control group received Long's spinal manipulation therapy,while the observation group received additional training in four postures of rotational tendon-releasing maneuver.Both groups were treated for 2 weeks,with a 1-month follow-up.Clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment by comparing Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores,Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)scores,and Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)scores before and after intervention.Spinal parameters including maximum lumbar curvature angle,pelvic tilt angle,and maximum vertebral rotation angle were assessed using the DIERS formetric 3D evaluation system.Results(1)The total effective rate was 94.12%(32/34)in the observation group and 91.18%(31/34)in the control group,and both groups achieved ideal therapeutic efficacy,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(2)After treatment,the VAS scores of patients in the two groups significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving VAS scores,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).At the 1-month follow-up after treatment,the VAS score of the observation group significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the JOA and ODI scores of the patients in the two groups significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the JOA and ODI scores,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).At 1-month follow-up after treatment,JOA and ODI scores of the observation group significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the maximum angle of lumbar flexion,pelvic torsion angle,and maximum rotation angle of the vertebral body of the two groups of patients were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly better than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).At the 1-month follow-up after treatment,the maximum angle of lumbar flexion,pelvic torsion angle,and maximum vertebral rotation angle of the observation group were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of Long's spinal manipulation therapy and four postures of rotational tendon-releasing maneuve significantly improves spinal alignment,reduces pain and disability,and enhances quality of life in patients with LDH,demonstrating notable clinical efficacy.

Objective:To explore the value of deep learning (DL) models based on conventional MRI in differentiating orbital solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) from schwannomas.Methods:This was a case-control study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with pathologically confirmed orbital SFT and schwannoma admitted to Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University (institution 1) from December 2014 to January 2022 and Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (institution 2) from July 2015 to May 2022. A total of 140 patients were included, with 104 patients from institution 1 comprising the training cohort for building DL models and 36 patients from institution 2 comprising the external validation cohort for assessing model performance. Based on the preoperative cross-sectional fat-suppressed T 2WI and contrast-enhanced T 1WI (ceT 1WI), tumor contours were outlined on all tumor-containing slices. Six diagnostic models were constructed using residual networks (ResNet) and split-attention residual networks (ResNeSt) with 18 layers (ResNet-18 and ResNeSt-18), based solely on individual T 2WI and ceT 1WI, as well as a combination of both. A radiology resident and an attending radiologist independently reviewed conventional MRI images to determine the tumor type. The performance of the DL models and radiologists in differentiating orbital SFT from schwannoma in the external validation cohort was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, and the areas under the curves (AUC) were compared using the DeLong test. Results:In the external validation cohort, the AUC (95% CI) of the ResNet-18 models based on T 2WI, ceT 1WI, and their combination were 0.861 (0.719-1), 0.896 (0.774-1), and 0.885 (0.755-1), respectively, while the AUC (95% CI) of the ResNeSt-18 models were 0.889 (0.748-1), 0.872 (0.726-1), and 0.910 (0.801-1), respectively. Among these, the ResNeSt-18 model based on the combined sequences achieved the best performance in differentiating the two tumors. The AUC (95% CI) for the individual interpretation of the radiology resident and attending radiologist were 0.729 (0.571-0.887) and 0.771 (0.618-0.923), respectively. The AUC of the ResNeSt-18 model based on the combined sequences was statistically significantly higher than those of the resident and attending radiologist ( Z=1.96, P=0.049; Z=2.00, P=0.045). Conclusion:The ResNeSt-18 model based on conventional MRI can effectively differentiate orbital SFT from schwannoma, demonstrating better performance than those of the radiology resident and the attending radiologist.

AIM:To observe how total flavonoids of Pterocarya hupehensis Skan(PHSTF)affects the migra-tion and invasion of human rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocyte line MH7A.METHODS:The MH7A cells were divided into control group(without any treatment),low-,medium-and high-dose(6.25,12.5 and 25 mg/L,respectively)PHSTF groups,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)inhibitor 740Y-P(10 μmol/L)group,and 740Y-P(10 μmol/L)+high-dose(25 mg/L)PHSTF group.The viability of the MH7A cells was determined by CCK-8 assay,while the migration and inva-sion were assessed by scratch and Transwell assays.The protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2),MMP-9,PI3K,p-PI3K,AKT and p-AKT were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with control group,the cell via-bility in PHSTF treatment groups was reduced(P<0.05),the cell wound healing area was significantly decreased(P<0.01),migratory and invasive cells in the lower chamber were significantly reduced(P<0.01),and the protein expres-sion of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and pAKT/AKT were decreased(P<0.01).Compared with high-dose PHSTF group,the addition of PI3K/AKT pathway agonist 740Y-P significantly increased the migration and invasion ability of MH7A cells(P<0.01)and elevated the protein expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and pAKT/AKT(P<0.01)under the treatment with PHSTF.CONCLUSION:Total flavonoids of Pterocarya hupehensis Skan could inhibit the migration and invasion of MH7A cells by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

AIM:To investigate the impact of total flavonoids of Pterocarya hupehensis Skan(PHSTF)on the migration,invasion,and ferroptosis of non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells.METHODS:The A549 cells were divided into control group,low-,medium-and high-dose(100,150 and 200 μg/mL)PHSTF groups,ferroptosis inhibitor liprox-statin-1(Lip-1)group,and high-dose PHSTF combined with Lip-1 group,each cultured in corresponding media.Cell via-bility was assessed using the CCK-8 assay,while cell migration and invasion abilities were determined through scratch and Transwell assays.Cell lipid peroxidation levels were measured using the glutathione(GSH)assay kit.RT-qPCR was em-ployed to assess the mRNA expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),while Western blot was utilized to examine the protein expression of SLC7A11,GPX4,Kelch-like epichlorohy-drin-associated protein-1(Keap-1),nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1).RE-SULTS:Compared with control group,PHSTF significantly diminished the viability of A549 cells in a time-and dose-de-pendent manner(P＜0.01),and the cell migration and invasion were also reduced(P＜0.01),along with a significant de-crease in GSH level(P＜0.01).Treatment with PHSTF inhibited the mRNA and protein expression levels of ferroptosis-re-lated proteins,including SLC7A11 and GPX4(P＜0.01),suppressed the protein expression of Nrf2 and HO-1(P＜0.01),and enhanced the expression of Keap-1(P＜0.01).The Lip-1 partially restored the decrease in cell viability in-duced by PHSTF(P＜0.01),significantly up-regulated the protein expression levels of SLC7A11,GPX4,Nrf2 and HO-1,and suppressed the protein expression of Keap-1(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:Total flavonoids of Pterocarya hupehen-sis Skan can inhibit the migration and invasion of non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells,and induce the cell ferroptosis by regulating the Keap-1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Due to traditional professional divisions, the practice of endoscopy by gastro-intestinal surgeons in China remains controversial. However, with the evolution of treatment philo-sophies, medical technology, and equipment advancements, a trend of integration between tradi-tional surgery and endoscopy is emerging. Gastrointestinal surgeons performing endoscopy can maxi-mize patient benefits, and they naturally possess advantages in conducting endoscopic procedures. It is recommended to further establish entry thresholds for surgeons to perform endoscopy, provide standardized endoscopic training for surgeons, and coordinate efforts at the administrative depart-ment. With the support of artificial intelligence, more patients can receive minimally invasive, indivi-dualized, and precise treatments.
