BACKGROUND:Plate fixation is the mainstream method for the surgical treatment of distal femoral fractures.The intramedullary nailing has the advantages of minimally invasive,such as less soft tissue injury and bone blood supply destruction.At the same time,it is a central fixation and has better biomechanical effect.Therefore,retrograde intramedullary nailing has become another option for the internal fixation of distal femoral fractures.OBJECTIVE:The biomechanical characteristics of new retrograde intramedullary nail on lateral femur condyle,common femoral retrograde intramedullary nail,and lateral femur condyle anatomical locking plate for the treatment of A2-type distal femoral fractures were compared using finite element analysis,and the advantages of new retrograde intramedullary nail on lateral femur condyle was studied.METHODS:A new retrograde intramedullary nail on lateral femur condyle was designed,which was inserted into the bone cortex in front of the insertion point of the lateral collateral ligament of the lateral femoral condyle.A CT scan was performed on the lower limb bone of a male volunteer,and a three-dimensional model of the femur was established.The model was then segmented to create a three-dimensional model of a femoral distal A2-type fracture,The three-dimensional models of small(small group),standard type retrograde intramedullary nail on the lateral femoral condyle(standard group),common retrograde intramedullary needle(common group),and lateral femur condyle anatomical locking plate(plate group)were established respectively.The axial stresses of 600,1 800 N and the torsional load of 4 000,8 000 N·mm were applied to the models,and the displacement and stress of femur and the displacement,stress and shear force of internal fixators were observed in each group.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)When subjected to axial load of 600 and 1 800 N,the femoral peak displacement,the femoral peak stress,and the peak stress of interal fixation in the standard group were the lowest among the four groups.(2)When subjected to torsional load of 4 000 and 8 000 N·mm,the femoral peak displacement and peak displacement of the internal fixation in the standard group were the lowest among the four groups.(3)Compared with femoral lateral condylar locking plate and common retrograde intramedullary needle,the new retrograde intramedullary needle on lateral femur condyle has mechanical advantages of reducing stress concentration and decreasing the risk of internal fixation failure.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of modified Sini San in ameliorating intestinal mucosal barrier by observing its effects on short chain fatty acids （SCFAs） and high mobility group protein B1 （HMGB1）/receptor of advanced glycation end products （RAGE） signaling pathways in chronic stress rats. MethodsThe 50 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group，model group，low-dose modified Sini San group （7.34 g·kg^-1·d^-1），high-dose modified Sini San group （14.68 g·kg^-1·d^-1），and Fructo-oligosaccharides group （3.15 g·kg^-1·d^-1），with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group，all other groups were subjected to chronic unpredictable stress/social isolation to create a chronic stress model for 6 weeks. After 4 weeks of modeling，each treatment group was given corresponding drugs by gavage for 2 weeks while modeling. The control group and model group were given the same volume of physiological saline. The effects of Modified Sini San on behaviors，body weight，Bristol score in feces and fecal moisture content in chronic stress rats were observed. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the cecum. The content of SCFAs in the cecal contents of rats were detected by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of HMGB1/RAGE pathway related proteins in cecal tissue. The levels of ZO-1，Occludin，and Claudin-1 in the cecal tissue were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsCompared with the model group，the sucrose preference rate，total distance traveled and the number of grid crossings in the open field test of rats in the low-dose modified Sini San group were obviously increased （P<0.05， P<0.01），and the immobility time in the open field test and the immobility time in the forced swimming test of rats in the low-dose and high-dose modified Sini San groups were obviously reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Meanwhile，the Bristol score and fecal moisture content of rats in the low and high dose groups of modified Sini San were obviously increased （P<0.05）. The low-dose group of modified Sini San had intact mucosal layer structure in the cecal tissue and reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells. The content of SCFAs in the cecal contents increased，with a obviously increase in the content of acetic acid，propionic acid，butyric acid，and isovaleric acid （P<0.05， P<0.01） and the expression levels of HMGB1，RAGE，Toll-like receptor 2（TLR2），Toll-like receptor 4（TLR4），tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α），and nuclear factor kappa-B p65（NF-κB p65） proteins in cecal tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01） in low-dose group of modified Sini San. Meanwhile，the contents of ZO-1，Occludin，and Claudin-1 in the cecal tissue were obviously increased （P<0.01） in low-dose group of modified Sini San. ConclusionModified Sini San can improve the function of intestinal mucosal barrier in chronic stress rats by increasing the content of SCFAs in the intestine and inhibiting the HMGB1/RAGE pathway.

BACKGROUND:Repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation(rTSMS)can inhibit inflammatory responses following spinal cord injury.rTSMS applies magnetic field stimulation to the spinal cord region to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission,thereby promoting plasticity and repair of the nervous system. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of rTSMS on the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor(NF)-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway after spinal cord injury and explore its mechanism in promoting motor function recovery. METHODS:Male C57BL/6J mice,SPF grade,were randomly divided into sham surgery group,spinal cord injury group,and rTSMS group.The latter two groups of mice were anesthetized and the T9 vertebral plate was removed using rongeur forceps to expose the spinal cord,and the spinal cord was clamped using a small aneurysm clip for 20 seconds to establish the spinal cord injury model.Mice in the rTSMS group underwent a 21-day rTSMS intervention starting on day 1 after spinal cord injury.The stimulation lasted 10 minutes per day,5 days per week with an interval of 2 days.Basso Mouse Scale scores were used to assess motor function recovery in mice after spinal cord injury at 1,3,7,14,and 21 days after spinal cord injury.Western blot was employed to detect the expression of AQP4,apoptotic factors Bax,Bcl-2,CL-Caspase-3,inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α,interferon-γ,interleukin-6,interleukin-4,and the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway related proteins in the injured spinal cord.Oxidative stress assay kit was used to measure the activity of superoxide dismutase,glutathione peroxidase,and malondialdehyde content at the site of spinal cord injury.Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the expression of neuronal nuclei(NeuN). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The Basso Mouse Scale score in the rTSMS group was significantly higher than that in the spinal cord injury group(P<0.05).Compared with the spinal cord injury group,the rTSMS group showed a reduction in spinal cord water content.The expression of AQP4 protein,malondialdehyde content,and expression of Bax,Bcl-2,CL-Caspase-3,tumor necrosis factor-α,interferon-γ,interleukin-6,and TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway related proteins were all decreased in the rTSMS group,while the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase,as well as the expression of Bcl-2,interleukin-4,and NeuN,were all increased(P<0.05).These results suggest that rTSMS downregulates the expression of proteins related to the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway,alleviating symptoms after spinal cord injury such as spinal cord edema,oxidative stress,apoptosis,and inflammation,exerting neuroprotective effects,and thereby promoting the recovery of hindlimb motor function after spinal cord injury.

Objective:To translate the quality of life tool for patients with aplastic anaemia and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (QLQ-AA/PNH) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the scale translation principle, the Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH was formed through translation, back translation and cross-cultural adaptation.

Objective:To compare the current situation of research on workplace violence (WPV) among nurses at home and abroad, providing directions for further research.Methods:Research on WPV among nurses published in PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP databases from January 1, 2003 to October 14, 2023 were searched and screened, using visualization software CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyze the distribution and correlation of countries, authors, institutions and keywords of the included studies.Results:A total of 1 082 Chinese articles and 2 770 English articles were included. From 2003 to 2023, the annual publication volume of research on nurse WPV showed a continuous upward trend in both Chinese and English literature. Among domestic institutions, Harbin Medical University published the most articles ( n=25). Among international research institutions, North South University ( n=9) and University of Malaya ( n=9) led in publication output. A total of 67 core authors were identified in Chinese literature and 194 in the English literature. Analysis of high-frequency keywords showed that the research topics could be summarized as research types, occurrence mechanisms, negative effects, high-risk precursors, intervention strategies, negative effects and population differences. Chinese Nursing Research ( n=40) and Journal of Nursing Management ( n=186) published the most Chinese and English articles. Conclusions:The amount of research on workplace violence among nurses has generally increased in recent years. The mechanisms of occurrence, high-risk precursors, and intervention strategies are important research directions. It is still necessary to further deepen the research content in the future.

Fetal malformation of cortical development(MCD)is a group of structural neurological disorders caused by abnormalities in development of cortical layer during embryogenesis,characterized by significant heterogeneity and diversity,which may lead to adverse clinical outcomes such as epilepsy and intellectual disabilities.The progresses in prenatal evaluation on fetal MCD were reviewed in this article.

With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and an aging population,China's traditional segmented health-care delivery model is increasingly inadequate for meeting the growing demand for long-term,systematic health management.In response,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model has emerged,aiming to enhance the quality and continuity of care through close collaboration between physicians and pharmacists.This paper starts from the concept and origin of"Physician-Phar-macist Co-management"model,focusing on its China-specific advantages shaped by national healthcare policies and clinical real-ities.Unlike the internationally recognized Collaborative Drug Therapy Management(CDTM)model,the Chinese approach re-flects local healthcare structures and needs.Using obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)as a case study,we examine the mod-el's application and value in managing chronic respiratory diseases.Data indicate that,after the implementation of"physician-pharmacist co-management"model in COPD patients,the CAT score decreased by approximately 24％,the annual rate of acute exacerbation-related hospitalizations declined by about 72％,and the proportion of patients with regular pulmonary rehabilitation exercise habits increased by roughly 3.3-fold.Additionally,the percentage of patients without adverse reactions rose from 47.37％to 64.41％,and the vaccination rate increased by about 2.7-fold.These findings demonstrate the model's significant advantages in improving clinical outcomes,enhancing patient adherence,and reducing healthcare costs.Despite benefits,howev-er,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model in China faces several challenges,including limited public awareness,gaps in pharmacist training,and insufficient policy support.To address these challenges,this study recommends strengthening public education,establishing comprehensive evaluation systems for pharmaceutical professionals,and improving incentive mech-anisms.Overall,the findings suggest that the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model holds considerable promise for im-proving the quality of chronic disease management,enhancing patient adherence,and optimizing healthcare resource utilization in China.

Objective To investigate the impacts of long non coding RNA(LncRNA)-PH domain containing 5 antisense RNA 1(FGD5-AS1)on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of colorectal cancer(CRC)cells by regulating the miR-299-5p/recombinant lysine specific demethylase 4B(KDM4B)axis.Methods The expressions of LncRNA FGD5-AS1,miR-299-5p,and KDM4B were detected by qRT-PCR in the surgically resected CRC tissues and adjacent tissues of 34 CRC patients CRC cells HCT116 were separated into si-NC group,si-FGD5-AS1 group,si-FGD5-AS1+inhibitor NC group,and si-FGD5-AS1+miR-299-5p inhibitor group.The levels of mRNA in each group were detected.CCK8,scratch assay,and Transwell assay were ap[plied to detect the proliferation,migration,and invasion of HCT116 cells in each group.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of proteins.Dual luciferase reporter gene assay verified the interaction mechanism between LncRNA FGD5-AS1 and miR-299-5p,and between miR-299-5p and KDM4B.Results LncRNA FGD5-AS1 and KDM4B were highly expressed in CRC tissue,while miR-299-5p was low expressed in CRC tissue(P＜0.05).The expression of LncRNA FGD5-AS1 mRNA,KDM4B mRNA,OD450,scratch healing rate,invasion number,PCNA,MMP-2,MMP-9,KDM4B in the si-FGD5-AS1 group were lower than those in the si-NC group,the expression of miR-299-5p mRNA was higher than that in the si-NC group(P＜0.05).Compared with the si-FGD5-AS1 group and si-FGD5-AS1+inhibitor NC group,the expression of miR-299-5p in the si-FGD5-AS1+miR-299-5p inhibitor group decreased(P＜0.05),the KDM4B mRNA,OD450,scratch healing rate,number of invasions,and expression of PCNA,MMP-2,MMP-9,KDM4B increased(P＜0.05).LncRNA FGD5-AS1 targeted negative regulation of miR-299-5p,while miR-299-5p targeted negative regulation of KDM4B.Conclusion Knocking down LncRNA FGD5-AS1 may inhibit the proliferation,migration,and invasion of CRC cells,and its mechanism may be achieved by regulating the miR-299-5p/KDM4B signaling axis.
