Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS)is a complex three-dimensional deformity involving coronal,sagittal,and axial planes,with a prevalence that should not be overlooked.With advancements in technology and in-depth research,an increasing number of hospitals and physicians are exploring standardized diagnostic and treatment approaches for AIS.Comprehensive and in-depth understanding is required for AIS,including its etiology,screening and diagnosis,classification,assessment and examination,treatment options,exploration of current focus,and evaluation of quality of life.Such understanding ensures that the diagnostic and treatment are scientific,standardized,and timely.Based on the principles of evidence-based medicine,a consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of AIS is reached after multiple discussions among spinal surgery experts,aiming to provide reference and guidance for clinical practice.

Objective To explore the value of deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)combined with"three low(low radiation dose,low contrast dose,and low contrast injection rate)techniques"of spectrum CT with low keV in optimizing the image quality of portal vein for liver cirrhosis.Methods Sixty patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent computed tomography portal venography(CTPV)were selected and randomly divided into standard protocol group(group A,n=30)and"three-low"protocol group(group B,n=30).The group A with 120 kVp,contrast dose of 1.4 mL/kg,injection rate of 4.0-5.0 mL/s,and reconstructed 50%adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo(ASIR-V)image.The group B with 80 kVp/140 kVp double instantaneous switching gemstone spectral imaging(GSI)scan,contrast dose of 1.0 mL/kg,injection rate of 3.0-3.5 mL/s,and reconstructed 40 keV DLIR-M and DLIR-H images.The quality of portal vein images,effective dose(ED),contrast dose and injection rate were compared between the two groups.Results The ED of(4.10±1.56)mSv in group B was lower than that of(7.88±1.08)mSv in group A(P<0.001),and the contrast dose of(67.26±8.74)mL in group B was lower than that of(99.12±8.84)mL in group A(P<0.001).The injection rate of 3.0-3.5 mL/s in group B was reduced by 25%-30%compared with group A.Group B had the greatest contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of portal vein in the 40 keV DLIR-H.The subjective image quality scores were in good agreement between the two physicians(Kappa value>0.75).The subjective DLIR score in group B was higher than that in group A.Conclusion DLIR combined with"three low techniques"spectrum CT with low keV can improve the image quality of portal vein in liver cirrhosis patients.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.

Objective The rabbit knee osteoarthritis(KOA)model was established by simple anterior cruciate ligament disruption.Methods The selected 40 adult white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups,blank group with 6 rabbits and model group with 34 rabbits.The rabbits in model group were given the disruption of anterior cruciate ligament of right knee joint.In the fourth,eighth and the twelfth weeks of modeling,different degrees of degenerative changes have been ob-served on the rabbits articular cartilages from both macroscopic and microscopic aspects.Results At 4,8 and 12 weeks after modeling,the articular cartilage of the rabbits in the model group showed degenerative changes in different degrees.At 8 and 12 weeks,the typical pathological manifestations of KOA in the middle and late stages were found in the infrapatellar fat pad and synovium,respectively.There were no changes in articular cartilage,infrapatellar fat pad and synovial membrane in the blank group at the same time.There were significant differences in the gross score between the model group and the blank group at 4 weeks[(1.300±0.674)vs 0.000],8 weeks[(2.400±0.516)vs 0.000]and 12 weeks[(3.583±0.668)vs 0.000](P＜0.05),the histopathological scores were significantly different,at 4 weeks[(2.900±0.567)vs 0.000],8 weeks[(7.500±1.178)vs(0.500±0.707)],12 weeks[(11.833±1.337)vs(1.500±0.707)],(P＜0.05).Conclusion The establishment of rabbit knee arthritis model by simply cutting the anterior cruciate ligament is simple and feasible,with good stability,high success rate,small trauma,short modeling cycle and less changes in animal physiological structure.The rabbit knee arthritis model es-tablished by simply cutting the anterior cruciate ligament has good modeling effect on different stages and grades of knee os-teoarthritis,and the postoperative infection and trauma can be controlled,which can meet the test requirements.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is considered a stress disorder characterized by psychological and gastrointestinal dysfunction. IBS patients not only suffer from intestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation but also, experience dysthymic disorders such as anxiety and depression. Studies have found that corticotropin-releasing hormone plays a key role in IBS with comorbid dysthymic disorders. Next, we will summarize the effects of corticotropinreleasing hormone from the central nervous system and periphery on IBS with comorbid dysthymic disorders and relevant treatments based on published literatures in recent years.

To investigate the common specific immunoglobulin E(sIgE) in children with eczema and urticaria, compare the allergies in children with different diseases, genders and ages, and provide the scientific basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment. A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the children who were suspected of eczema and urticaria and tested for serum sIgE in the Tianjin Children's Hospital from December 2019 to August 2021. A total of 8 092 serum samples were tested for ten food allergens and ten inhaled allergens. The method was the enzyme-linked immune capture assay. The allergen epidemiological characteristics were statistically analyzed by Chi square test based on the children's characteristics and factors such as different sexes and ages and by the mass data. The results showed that the positive rate of eczema was 64.42%(5 213/8 092), and the urticaria was 35.58%(2 879/8 092). The positive rate of specific IgE was 66.65%(5 393/8 092), the food allergens was 61.74%(4 996/8 092), and the inhaled allergens was 34.85%(2 820/8 092). The top three positive rates of food allergens were egg 46.65%(3 775/8 092), milk 32.64%(2 641/8 092) and wheat flour 15.08%(1 220/8 092). The top three positive rates of inhaled allergens were house dust 21.40%(1 732/8 092), Alternaria 11.78%(953/8 092) and Dermatophagoides farinae 7.33%(593/8 092). The positivity of food allergens and inhaled allergens was significantly different in different age groups. The positive rates of food allergens in different age groups were 48.92%(947/1 936) in<1 year old, 72.28%(2 680/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 64.58%(919/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 43.90%(450/1 025) in>6 years old. The positive rates of inhaled allergens in different age groups were 17.67%(342/1 936) in<1 year old, 36.35%(1 348/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 46.38%(660/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 45.85%(470/1 025) in>6 years old. The top six positive rates of allergens of eczema were the same with urticaria, which were egg, milk, house dust, wheat flour, Alternaria and Dermatophagoides farinae. The allergens (greater than or equal to grade 4) differed in children with eczema and urticaria. Moreover, there were significant differences in the positive rates of Alternaria, egg, wheat flour, crab and shrimp. In conclusion, this study can reflect the epidemic characteristics of allergens in children with eczema and urticaria to a certain extent. There were significant differences in the positive rates of allergens between different age groups. It is necessary to reasonably avoid the high-risk allergens according to the epidemiological characteristics and clinical symptoms, which provide valuable information for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases.
