BACKGROUND:Developmental dysplasia of hip causes groin pain in patients with prolonged activity or standing due to the presence of deformities of the acetabulum and femoral head in terms of structure,size and orientation,and if not effectively treated,patients' normal activities will be severely limited.OBJECTIVE:Finite element model of the hip joint of solid-liquid biphase fiber reinforced cartilage based on FEBio was established to explore the biomechanical properties of the cartilage for patients with developmental dysplasia of hip and the normal hip joint.METHODS:A patient with developmental dysplasia of hip and a normal volunteer were chosen to build their left hip models including left pelvis,left femur,and cartilage attached thereto. The solid-liquid biphase fiber reinforced cartilage of normal hip was verified to be effective. The cartilage equal contact stress,fluid pressure,solid effective stress,and fluid support rate differences between the developmental dysplasia of hip patients hip and the normal one in the case of one leg of static load (2130 N) were compared after establishing finite element models of developmental dysplasia of hip patients.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Compared with the finite element results of the normal hip model,the cartilage contact position of developmental hip dysplasia patient hip showed obvious edge contact,the peak contact stress (3.86 Mpa) and peak fluid pressure (3.76 Mpa) were both higher than normal hip model. (2) After 1500 s (stable load-bearing capacity),peak contact stress and peak fluid pressure in both models decreased,but the cartilage contact position of developmental hip dysplasia patient hip moved from the edge of cartilage to the center,and fluid support rate decreased from 97.41% to 91.08%. The fluid support rate in normal hip was decreased by 0.58% from 95.24% to 94.66%. (3) It is indicated that under the physiological load of standing on one leg,the cartilage of developmental dysplasia of hip patients showed obvious edge load,and the decrease of peak contact stress,fluid pressure,and fluid formation rate was greater than that of normal cartilage. Considering the solid-liquid biphasic fiber reinforcement characteristics of cartilage,it is of great clinical significance to evaluate the biomechanical properties of hip cartilage in developmental dysplasia of hip patients,to understand the pathophysiological mechanism of developmental dysplasia of hip,and make preoperative plan.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a prominent infectious disease globally that imposes a substantial health burden. Genital TB (GTB), an extrapulmonary manifestation, leads to complications such as tubal adhesions, blockage, and diminished ovarian function, culminating in infertility, and is recognized as a prevalent cause of infertility in nations with high-burden TB. In regions with low TB rates, infertility and active TB during pregnancy have been reported to be most common among female immigrants from countries with high-burden TB. In the context of TB, pregnant women often exhibit exacerbated symptoms after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), heightening the risk of dissemination. Miliary pulmonary TB and tuberculous meningitis pose a serious threat to maternal and fetal health. This article integrates recent epidemiological data and clinical research findings, delineating the impact of TB on infertility and assisted reproduction and particularly focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of GTB, underscored by the imperative of TB screening before IVF-ET. Our objective is to increase awareness among respiratory and reproductive health professionals, promoting multidisciplinary management to enhance clinical vigilance. This approach seeks to provide patients with judicious reproductive plans and scientifically rigorous pregnancy management, thereby mitigating adverse pregnancy outcomes related to TB activity.

Hypoxia is the common characteristic of almost all solid tumors,which prevents therapeutic drugs from reaching the tumors.Therefore,the development of new targeted agents for the accurate diagnosis of hypoxia tumors is widely concerned.As carbonic anhydrase Ⅸ(CA Ⅸ)is abundantly distributed on the hypoxia tumor cells,it is considered as a potential tumor biomarker.4-(2-Aminoethyl)benzenesulfo-namide(ABS)as a CA Ⅸ inhibitor has inherent inhibitory activity and good targeting effect.In this study,Ag2S quantum dots(QDs)were used as the carrier to prepare a novel diagnostic and therapeutic bio-probe(Ag2S@polyethylene glycol(PEG)-ABS)through ligand exchange and amide condensation reaction.Ag2S@PEG-ABS can selectively target tumors by surface-modified ABS and achieve accurate tumor im-aging by the near infrared-Ⅱ(NIR-Ⅱ)fluorescence characteristics of Ag2S QDs.PEG modification of Ag2S QDs greatly improves its water solubility and stability,and therefore achieves high photothermal sta-bility and high photothermal conversion efficiency(PCE)of 45.17%.Under laser irradiation,Ag2S@PEG-ABS has powerful photothermal and inherent antitumor combinations on colon cancer cells(CT-26)in vitro.It also has been proved that Ag2S@PEG-ABS can realize the effective treatment of hypoxia tumors in vivo and show good biocompatibility.Therefore,it is a new efficient integrated platform for the diagnosis and treatment of hypoxia tumors.

BACKGROUND:
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly used as first-line therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring no actionable mutations; however, data on their efficacy among patients presenting with intracranial lesions are limited. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of ICIs combined with chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients with measurable brain metastasis at initial diagnosis.
METHODS:
Our study retrospectively analyzed clinical data of a total of 211 patients diagnosed with driver gene mutation-negative advanced NSCLC with measurable, asymptomatic brain metastasis at baseline from Hunan Cancer Hospital between January 1, 2019 and September 30, 2021. The patients were stratified into two groups according to the first-line treatment regimen received: ICI combined with chemotherapy ( n = 102) or chemotherapy ( n = 109). Systemic and intracranial objective response rates (ORRs) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. Adverse events were also compared between the groups.
RESULTS:
Compared with the chemotherapy-based regimen, the ICI-containing regimen was associated with a significantly higher intracranial (44.1% [45/102] vs . 28.4% [31/109], χ2 = 5.620, P = 0.013) and systemic (49.0% [50/102] vs . 33.9% [37/109], χ2 = 4.942, P = 0.019) ORRs and longer intracranial (11.0 months vs . 7.0 months, P <0.001) and systemic (9.0 months vs . 5.0 months, P <0.001) PFS. Multivariable analysis consistently revealed an independent association between receiving ICI plus platinum-based chemotherapy as a first-line regimen and prolonged intracranial PFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.37-0.73, P <0.001) and systemic PFS (HR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.35-0.66, P <0.001). No unexpected serious adverse effects were observed.
CONCLUSION:
Our study provides real-world clinical evidence that ICI combined with chemotherapy is a promising first-line treatment option for driver gene mutation-negative advanced NSCLC patients who present with brain metastasis at initial diagnosis.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of the new forest parenting programme (NFPP) for children and families with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in China, and to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of the programme in China.Methods:Twenty-two children with ADHD diagnosed at the Child Psychology Development and Behavior Outpatient Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University and their primary caregivers were included in the study from January 2022 to May 2023. The children with ADHD were divided into an experimental group ( n=11) and a control group ( n=11) according to the personal preference of the primary caregivers. The experimental group was provided with the NFPP intervention once a week for a period of 8 weeks. The Chinese version of Swanson Nolan and Pelham, version Ⅳ scale-parent form(SNAP-Ⅳ)and Weiss functional impairment rating scales-parent report(WFIRS-P))were used to assess the improvement of core symptoms and social function impairment in the two groups before and after the intervention. In the experimental group, the Chinese parenting sense of competence scale (C-PSOC) and the parenting styles and dimensions questionnaire (PSDQ) were used to evaluate the parenting efficiency and improvement of parenting styles of primary caregivers in ADHD families before and after NFPP intervention. A Semi-open interview was conducted with 11 primary caregivers of ADHD children in the experimental group at the end of the intervention regarding knowledge of ADHD disease diagnosis and treatment, parenting attitudes, and parenting behaviors. The data was statistically analyzed by SPSS 26.0 software.Statistical analysis of data was used by independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test, Mann Whitney U-test, and rank sum test. Results:(1) Compared with the post-intervention control group, the total score((4.01±1.05), (2.79±0.94), t=2.875, P<0.05) in the SNAP-Ⅳ, the scores of the oppositional defiance dimension((1.27±0.34), (0.70±0.33), t=4.043, P<0.05) in the SNAP-Ⅳ, the scores of the family in WFIRS-P ((0.92±0.47), (0.56±0.26), t=2.246, P<0.05), and the scores of life skills in WFIRS-P (1.1(0.9, 1.3), (0.6(0.5, 0.8), Z=-2.013, P<0.05)were significantly lower in the post-intervention experimental group ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of the 3 dimensions of attention deficit, impulsivity/hyperactivity, and oppositional defiance and the total score of the SNAP-Ⅳ in the experimental group were significantly lower than those before intervention (all P<0.05). (2) After intervention, the score of the parenting efficacy dimension in the C-PSOC in experimental group was significantly higher than pre-intervention ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of the PSDQ for authoritative parenting style in the self-assessment and other-assessment in the experimental group were significantly higher than pre-intervention (all P<0.05), and the scores of the authoritarian parenting style and the permissive parenting style were significantly lower than pre-intervention (all P<0.05). (3) The results of the semi-open interview suggested that, the primary caregivers of children with ADHD in the experimental group had a positive attitude toward the NFPP intervention and were able to participate in the entire 8-week intervention, and apply the learned parenting skills to daily life to continuously improve parenting efficiency. After the NFPP intervention, the primary caregivers of children with ADHD had a deeper understanding of the knowledge of ADHD diseases, behavioral characteristics of children with ADHD, and so on. In the intervention content, the modules such as time management, communication skills and behavioral prediction were easy to grasp and effective. Conclusion:The NFPP can significantly improve the core symptoms of Chinese children with ADHD, increase the parenting efficacy of their primary caregivers, and improve their parenting styles.
