BACKGROUND:The formation of postoperative abdominal adhesions is a complicated process,and the prevention of postoperative adhesions is an urgent problem in clinic. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the mechanism of adhesion at cellular and molecular levels,and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of adhesion by mesenchymal stem cell exosomes. METHODS:"Abdominal adhesion,pelvic adhesion,postoperative adhesion,epithelial mesenchymal transformation,mesenchymal stem cells,stem cell exosomes,mesenchymal stem cell exosomes"were selected as Chinese and English search terms.We searched PubMed,CNKI,and Chinese biomedical literature and screened relevant articles on postoperative abdominal adhesion and mesenchymal stem cell exosomal intervention published from inception to August 2023.After systematic analysis,54 articles were finally included for the review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Any pathological factors such as peritoneal inflammation,mechanical injury,tissue ischemia,and foreign body implantation cause peritoneal surface injury,resulting in postoperative abdominal adhesion.The formation process of adhesion includes the interaction of peritoneal mesothelial cell repair,inflammatory response,fibrinolytic system,coagulation pathway and other processes,involving a variety of cytokines and signaling pathways.Wnt/β-catenin pathway can induce fibrosis and angiogenesis,and cooperate with transforming growth factor-β/Smads signaling pathway to stimulate fibroblast proliferation and cause peritoneal fibrosis.Meanwhile,nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway up-regulates the expression of cellular inflammatory factors,promotes fibroblast proliferation,and plays a key role in the process of tissue fibrosis.(2)The paracrine function of stem cells is an important direction of molecular intervention in abdominal adhesions based on regenerative medicine.It can participate in a variety of complex cytokines and signaling pathways involved in abdominal adhesions.(3)Compared with traditional methods for treating abdominal adhesions,mesenchymal stem cell exosome has biological activity and is safe to use.Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes without special culture and expansion have lower immunogenicity,longer stability and other advantages,can guide a normal repair and healing through a variety of ways.(4)Mesenchymal stem cell exosome has been proven to be involved in regulating the above processes of adhesion formation in previous studies,showing potential application prospects in clinical studies.However,further clinical studies are needed to explore appropriate treatment options for mesenchymal stem cell exosomes to address the problem of clinical translation.

BACKGROUND:Palmar locking plate fixation is the most commonly used fixation method for distal radius fractures.However,when the fracture line involves the dorsal articular surface,palmar plate fixation carries a higher risk of postoperative displacement of the dorsal bone mass,especially the dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the fracture line characteristics of distal radius fracture involving the dorsal articular surface,and further investigate the risk factors of postoperative displacement of the dorsal bone mass involving the sigmoid notch,so as to provide evidence for improving the success rate of surgery. METHODS:Retrospective analysis was performed on patients with distal radius fracture who were admitted to Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to September 2022.The number of dorsal fractures of the distal radius of 1,2,3 and above was divided into types Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ based on preoperative CT images.The fracture line maps were drawn respectively to analyze the morphological characteristics of the dorsal fracture lines.Patients with dorsal sigmoid notch fracture were followed up for more than 3 months and divided into displaced group and non-displaced group according to whether the dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass displacement occurred after surgery.Age,sex,preoperative and postoperative CT anatomical parameters were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)145 patients with type C of AO/OTA involving the dorsal articular surface were analyzed by fracture line map.According to the number of dorsal fractures,there were 25 cases of type Ⅰ fracture(17.2％),82 cases of type Ⅱ fracture(56.6％),and 38 cases of type Ⅲ fracture(26.2％).Fracture line map showed that the fracture line of type Ⅰ fracture block mainly involved sigmoid notch;type Ⅱ mainly involved sigmoid notch and lister tubercle,and type Ⅲ involved sigmoid notch,lister tubercle,and dorsal radial column.Among the 145 patients,86.2％(125/145 cases)were involved in sigmoid notch,of which type Ⅲ was involved as high as 94.7％(36/38 cases);type Ⅱ was involved as high as 88.0％(72/82 cases),and type Ⅰ was involved as high as 68％(17/25 cases).(2)76 cases of type C of AO/OTA involving the dorsal sigmoid notch were included for further study,of which 65 cases were not displaced after operation and 11 cases were displaced.In univariate analysis,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in age,sex,injury site,preoperative CT dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass length(d1),ulnar length(d2),dorsal height of dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass(d4),and ulnar edge distance between steel plate and radius(d5)(P>0.05).The proportion of dorsal sigmoid notch involving the radioulnar joint:[d2/(d2+d3)],the proportion of articular surface of dorsal sigmoid notch(s1/s2),the distance between the ulnar screw tail and the edge of dorsal sigmoid notch(d6),and the number of screw fixation of dorsal sigmoid notch were statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of screw fixation of sigmoid notch was the only risk factor affecting the displacement of sigmoid notch on dorsal ulnar side(P<0.05).(4)It is indicated that type Ⅱ is the most common intra-articular fracture of distal radius involving the back of the radius,followed by type Ⅲ and type Ⅰ with dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass.However,the dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass is prone to postoperative displacement due to the influence of the inferior radioulnar joint ligament,and the fixation of at least one effective screw during the operation can reduce the risk of displacement and help to improve the treatment effect.

Objective: To explore the comorbidity and associated factors of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention strategies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to survey 178 700 students from the fourth grade of primary school to the third year of high school in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from September to November 2023, including physical examination, oral screening, and questionnaire survey. Chisquare tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the related factors of the cooccurrence of dental caries and overweight/obesity among students. Results: The comorbidity rate of dental caries and overweight/obesity was 9.55%, with urban areas (9.95%) higher than rural counties (9.24%), boys (10.54%) higher than girls (8.54%), primary school students (11.49%) higher than senior high school students (8.92%) and junior high school students (8.05%), and nonboarding students (11.44%) higher than boarding students (7.94%), and all differences were statistically significant (χ2=26.07, 207.91, 471.54, 629.14,P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that consuming cereal for breakfast (OR=0.91, 95%CI=0.88-0.94), drinking milk in the past week (OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.83-0.95), meeting sleep standards (OR=0.95, 95%CI=0.91-0.99), and brushing teeth at least once a day (OR=0.82, 95%CI=0.73-0.93) had a lower risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity. In contrast, drinking beverages in the past week (OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.09-1.20), consuming fried foods in the past week (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.06-1.17), eating fruit ≥1 time every day (OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.02-1.11), consuming fruit ≥1 type every day (OR=1.07, 95%CI=1.01-1.12), and having fish, poultry, meat, or eggbased breakfasts (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.05-1.13) had a higher risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity (P<0.05). Conclusions Dietary habits and lifestyle behaviors are associated with the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Guiding students to form healthy living habits is helpful to preven dental caries and overweight/obesity.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of such abnormalities. Methods: From September to November 2023, adopting a stratified cluster random sampling method, spinal curvature screenings and questionnaire surveys were conducted among 168 931 students from grade 4 of primary school to grade 12 of high school in 111 districts and counties across 14 cities in Guangxi. Chi square tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze influencing factors of spinal curvature abnormalities. Results: In 2023, the detection rate of poor posture among students above grade 4 in Guangxi was 4.24% , and the detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities was 2.13%. The detection rate was higher among urban students (2.84%) than rural students (1.66%), boarding students (2.61%) than non-boarding students (1.60%), and high school students (3.16%) than junior high (2.45%) and primary school students (1.15%), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=269.85, 221.44, 565.10, P <0.01). A trend of increasing detection rates with higher grade levels was observed ( χ 2 trend =617.63, P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that students without boarding at school ( OR =0.82, 95% CI =0.75-0.90), engaging in high-intensity physical activity for over 60 min per day ≥5 days per week ( OR =0.90, 95% CI =0.82-0.98), and adequate sleep ( OR =0.87, 95% CI =0.81-0.94) had lower risks of detecting spinal curvature abnormalities ( P <0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of spinal curvature abnormalities increases with grade level among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity demonstrates protective effects against spinal abnormalities.

: Bacteroides, as one of the most abundant and diverse genera in the human gut, is regarded as a window into the study of gut microbiota-host interactions. Currently, CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing systems targeting Bacteroides have been widely applied, while the large size of Cas nucleases limits their potential application scenarios (such as in situ gut Bacteroides editing based on phage delivery). Therefore, this study aims to develop a compact and highly efficient genetic editing tool in Bacteroides., We developed a miniaturized CRISPR/Cas gene editing system for human gut Bacteroides. First, the editing capabilities of different miniaturized CRISPR/Cas systems, including AsCas12f, CasΦ2, and ISDge10, were evaluated in Bacteroides fragilis. Subsequently, the editing capability of AsCas12f was assessed across various Bacteroides species, and the size of this system was further optimized. The results demonstrated that the CRISPR/AsCas12f genome editing system exhibited the highest editing efficiency in B. fragilis. The CRISPR/AsCas12f system achieved efficient genome editing in B. fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and Phocaeicola vulgatus. Furthermore, with a repair template of 500 bp homologous arms, the editing efficiency remained as high as 94.7%. In conclusion, CRISPR/AsCas12f can serve as a chassis tool enzyme for the development of Bacteroides-based miniature gene editors and derivative technologies, laying a foundation for the further development of gene editing technology for Bacteroides.

BACKGROUND:Proximal humerus internal locking system locking plate is the most commonly used fixation method for proximal humeral fractures,but its failure rate is still high in clinical practice.Reasonable screw placement is an important factor affecting the stability of internal fixation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the distribution of humeral head screws in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures with proximal humerus internal locking system plate and its influence on internal fixation failure. METHODS:From January 2017 to December 2021,data from patients with proximal humeral fractures undergoing proximal humerus internal locking system plate in Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 124 patients were enrolled,including 16 males and 108 females,at the age of≥60 years.According to whether there was internal fixation failure after operation,they were divided into normal group(n=101)and internal fixation failure group(n=23).The patient's age,gender,fracture type,the integrity of the medial column,plate height,neck-shaft angle,whether the talus screw was inserted,and the number of humeral head screws,were collected.The humeral head was divided into eight zones according to the postoperative digital radiography anteroposterior film,and the distribution characteristics of the screws in each zone were collected,and the heat map of the screw distribution was drawn. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were no significant differences between the two groups in age,gender,fracture type,the integrity of the medial column,plate height,neck-shaft angle,whether to insert talus screws,and the number of humeral head screws(P>0.05).(2)The heat map showed that the humeral head screws were evenly distributed in the normal group,mainly scattered in zones 4,6,and 7.However,the screw distribution in the internal fixation failure group was not uniform,mainly concentrated in zones 4 and 6.In addition,in the ideal area of talus screws(7/8 zone),there were significantly more screws in the normal group than in the internal fixation failure group.(3)It is indicated that in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures with proximal humerus internal locking system plate,the uniform distribution of humeral head screws is the key to ensuring the internal fixation effect.A reasonable distribution of humeral head screws helps to improve the treatment effect and the success rate of internal fixation.

Objective To compare the effects of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 on depression-and anxiety-like behaviors in chronic unpredictable stress-induced rats.Methods Seventy male SPF grade SD rats were tested for sugar and water preference after 5 days of adaptation and divided into seven groups according to their preference index:a control group,model group,fluoxetine hydrochloride group,ginsenoside Rg1 24 mg/kg group,ginsenoside Rg1 48 mg/kg group,ginsenoside Rb1 33 mg/kg group,and ginsenoside Rb1 67 mg/kg group.All rats,except for the control group,were subjected randomly to one or two different stimulating factors every day for a total of 35 days.On the 36th day,behavioral experiments including sugar and water preference,open field,novel environment feeding inhibition,elevated cross maze,and forced swimming experiments were conducted to investigate the anti-depression and anti-anxiety effects of the treatments.Serum and hippocampal levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and serum corticosterone were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with the model group,ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 significantly increased sucrose consumption in the sucrose preference test and decreased immobility in the forced swimming test.Ginsenoside Rg1(48 mg/kg)significantly reduced the latency to eat in the novelty-suppressed feeding test,and ginsenoside Rg1(24 and 48 mg/kg)significantly increased the percentage of open arm entries and time in the elevated cross maze test.Serum corticosterone levels were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 groups,serum IL-1β and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rg1(48 mg/kg)group,serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rb1(33 mg/kg)group,and IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α levels in the hippocampus were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rg1(48 mg/kg)and Rb1(67 mg/kg)groups.Conclusions Both ginsenosides can regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and inhibit neuroinflammation,improving depression-and anxiety-like behaviors in rats induced by chronic unpredictable stress.Ginsenoside Rg1 has a significantly better anti-anxiety effect than Rb1.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical practice of intensive care unit (ICU) physicians at Hebei General Hospital in identifying patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the current status of invasive mechanical ventilation management and adjunctive therapy in these patients, and to analyze the incidence and clinical outcomes of ARDS.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The patients who were hospitalized in the ICU of Hebei General Hospital from April 10, 2017 to June 30, 2022 and met the Berlin definition diagnostic criteria for ARDS were enrolled as study subjects. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology was applied to search the basic information (age, gender, height, body weight, etc.), auxiliary examination, electronic medical record, non-drug doctor's advice, drug doctor's advice, critical report, scoring system, monitoring master table and other data of the above medical records in the electronic medical record system of the hospital. The first set of laboratory indicators sequentially retrieved from the system daily from 05: 00 to 10: 00 and vital signs and mechanical ventilation-related parameters recorded in the "critical care report" at 06: 00 daily were extracted, and outcome indicators of the patients were collected.Results:After screening and analysis, a total of 255 patients who met the ARDS diagnostic criteria were finally enrolled. The overall incidence of ARDS in the ICU accounted for 3.4% (255/7?434) of the total number of ICU patients, of which mild, moderate and severe ARDS accounted for 22.4% (57/255), 49.0% (125/255), and 28.6% (73/255), respectively, while the recognition rates of clinical doctors were 71.9% (41/57), 58.4% (73/125) and 71.2% (52/73), respectively. During the ICU stay, 250 patients (98.0%) received only invasive mechanical ventilation, while 5 patients (2.0%) received both non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation. The tidal volume/ideal body weight of ARDS patients was 7.64 (6.49, 9.01) mL/kg, and the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was 8.0 (5.0, 10.0) cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O≈0.098 kPa). In addition, during the diagnosis and detection of ARDS, only 7 patients were recorded the platform pressure and 6 patients were recorded the drive pressure. Regarding adjunctive therapies, 137 patients (53.7%) received deep sedation, 26 patients (10.2%) underwent lung recruitment, 55 patients (21.6%) received prone ventilation, 42 patients (16.5%) were treated with high-dose steroids, 19 patients (7.5%) were treated with neuromuscular blockade, and 8 patients (3.1%) were treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Finally, 70 patients (27.5%) were discharged automatically, while 50 patients (19.6%) died in the ICU, of which the ICU mortality of mild, moderate, and severe ARDS patients were 15.8% (9/57), 22.4% (28/125), and 17.8% (13/73), respectively. After follow-up, it was found that all 70 patients discharged automatically died within 28 days after discharge, and the overall ICU mortality adjusted accordingly was 47.1% (120/255). Conclusions:The overall incidence of ARDS in ICU patients at Hebei General Hospital is relatively low, with a high recognition rate by clinical physicians. Despite the high level of compliance and implementation of lung protective ventilation strategies and auxiliary treatment measures, it is still necessary to further improve the level of standardization in the implementation of small tidal volume and respiratory mechanics monitoring. For the implementation of auxiliary measures such as prone ventilation, it is necessary to further improve the enthusiasm of medical staff. The mortality in ICU is relatively low in ARDS patients, while the rate of spontaneous discharge is relatively high.

Objective:To explore the predictive factors for adverse clinical outcomes in critically ill adult patients with autoimmune encephalitis by analyzing their clinical characteristics and prognosis.Methods:Clinical data of patients diagnosed with " confirmed" or " possible" autoimmune encephalitis who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Department of Neurology at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2015 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. The neurological function of patients at 3, 6, and 12 months of onset was followed up, and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 12 months was used as an evaluation index for clinical prognosis; Further analysis was conducted on the relationship between clinical features, auxiliary examinations, and prognosis.Results:The 12-month survival rate of critically ill adult patients with autoimmune encephalitis in our center was 90.7%(117/129), and the 6-month poor prognosis rate was 28.7%(37/129). Univariate logistic regression analysis found that age of onset ( P<0.01), presence of tumors ( P<0.01), mechanical ventilation ( P<0.01), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at ICU admission ( P<0.01), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score ( P<0.01), cerebrospinal fluid glucose ( P<0.01), cerebrospinal fluid protein level ( P=0.02), epileptic waves in electroencephalography (EEG) ( P=0.03), use of glucocorticoids ( P=0.04), and time interval between initiation of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and onset ( P=0.04) were associated with prognosis. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that mechanical ventilation [ P=0.01, area under the curve (AUC)=0.72)], APACHE Ⅱ score ( P=0.04, AUC=0.68), cerebrospinal fluid protein content ( P=0.04, AUC=0.65), and the time interval between initiation of IVIG and onset ( P=0.02, AUC=0.64) were independent predictive factors for the prognosis of adult critical autoimmune encephalitis. The prognostic prediction model for adult critical autoimmune encephalitis established by combining these four indicators has a higher AUC (0.85). Conclusions:Mechanical ventilation, APACHE Ⅱ score, cerebrospinal fluid protein level, and the time interval between initiation of IVIG and onset are predictive factors for poor clinical outcomes in critically ill autoimmune encephalitis in adults; The prognostic prediction model for adult critical autoimmune encephalitis established by combining these four indicators can identify patients with poor prognosis early, which is beneficial for early comprehensive management and intervention treatment to improve patient prognosis.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
