BACKGROUND:The most common complication of traumatic femoral neck fractures after internal fixation is femoral head necrosis.Currently,many studies have reported on the risk factors that affect the occurrence and development of postoperative femoral head necrosis,but there is still a lack of tools to predict the risk of femoral head necrosis after internal fixation of femoral neck fractures.OBJECTIVE:To develop a predictive model that estimates the risk of femoral head necrosis shortly after patients with femoral neck fractures receive cannulated screw internal fixation.METHODS:A retrospective analysis reviewed clinical records of 172 patients who underwent cannulated screw internal fixation for femoral neck fractures at Department of Orthopedics of Mianyang Central Hospital from January 2013 to June 2023.Patients were categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of femoral head necrosis within one year post-operation:the necrosis group and the non-necrosis group.Univariate analysis,Lasso regression,and multivariate Logistic regression techniques were employed to identify the determinants of femoral head necrosis.A nomogram prediction model was constructed using R language's"rms"package,version 4.0.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the discriminatory ability of the model.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the goodness of fit of the model,and the decision curve analysis was used to determine its clinical application benefits.Internal validation of the study was conducted using the Bootstrap method,involving 1 000 repeated samplings.To delve deeper into the primary factors influencing femoral head necrosis post-internal fixation of the femoral neck,this paper employed the SHAP method for data set analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The risk factors leading to femoral head necrosis in the short term after cannulated screw fixation of femoral neck fractures include:smoking,diabetes,Garden classification,fracture line location,reduction quality,age,and operation time.(2)The prediction model demonstrated robust performance,evidenced by an area under the curve of 0.940(95％Confidence Interval:0.903 to 0.977),indicating a high level of prediction accuracy.The model achieved a sensitivity of 90.2％and a specificity of 87.6％,indicating that its diagnostic performance was stable.The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded a chi-square value of 6.593 with a P-value of 0.581,confirming that the model's predictions closely align with the observed outcomes.(3)The calibration curve of the model also performed well,and its overall trend was very close to the ideal curve,further proving the high accuracy of the model.(4)The internal validation was carried out by the Bootstrap method with 1 000 repeated samplings,and the area under the curve of the model internal validation was still as high as 0.939,proving that the model had good stability.(5)Through the decision curve,it is found that within the probability threshold range of 1％to 92％,the model can obtain the maximum net benefit value.(6)The SHAP analysis results show that among the risk factors analyzed in this study,the location of the fracture line serves as the most significant predictor of femoral head necrosis following internal fixation with cannulated screws in femoral neck fractures,and subcapital fractures are extremely prone to femoral head necrosis after surgery.(7)It is concluded that the validated prediction model demonstrates strong discriminative power and reliability,offering practical clinical utility.It serves as a useful reference tool for short-term risk assessment of femoral head necrosis following internal fixation of femoral neck fractures.

The Type III Secretion System (T3SS) serves as a pivotal virulence apparatus for numerous Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, enabling them to infect both animal and plant hosts. Functioning as a molecular syringe, the T3SS directly translocates bacterial effector proteins from the bacterial cytoplasm into the interior of eukaryotic host cells. These effectors are central weapons that precisely manipulate a wide spectrum of host cellular physiological processes, ranging from cytoskeletal dynamics to immune signaling, to establish a favorable niche for bacterial survival and proliferation. Among the diverse arsenal of T3SS effectors, the YopJ family constitutes a critical group of virulence factors. Members of this family are characterized by a conserved catalytic triad structure—a hallmark of the CE clan of cysteine proteases that has been evolutionarily repurposed to confer acetyltransferase activity. A defining and intriguing feature of these enzymes is their stringent dependence on a host-derived eukaryotic cofactor, inositol hexakisphosphate (IP₆), for allosteric activation. This requirement acts as a sophisticated molecular safeguard, ensuring enzymatic activity only within the appropriate host environment, thereby preventing detrimental effects on the bacterium itself. While seminal studies on individual members such as Yersinia’s YopJ and Salmonella’s AvrA have provided deep mechanistic insights, a systematic and integrative understanding of the structure-function relationships across the entire family remains fragmented. Key questions persist regarding how a conserved catalytic core has diverged to recognize distinct host substrates in different kingdoms of life. To address this gap, this article provides a systematic review of the YopJ family, focusing on three interconnected aspects: their structural features, their catalytic mechanism, and their divergent immunosuppressive strategies in animal versus plant hosts. By conducting a comparative analysis of the sequences and resolved three-dimensional structures of three representative members (e.g., HopZ1a, PopP2, AvrA), we elucidate regions of significant variation embedded within the conserved core catalytic architecture. These variable regions, often involving surface loops and substrate-binding interfaces, are crucial determinants of target specificity and functional specialization. The functional divergence of this effector family is most apparent when comparing their modes of action in different hosts. In animal hosts, YopJ-family effectors primarily sabotage innate immune signaling pathways. They achieve this by acetylating key serine and threonine residues within the activation loops of critical kinases in the MAPK and NF‑κB pathways. This post-translational modification blocks the phosphorylation and subsequent activation of these kinases, leading to potent suppression of inflammatory cytokine production. Conversely, in plant hosts, the strategy broadens to dismantle the two-tiered plant immune system. YopJ homologs target a more diverse set of substrates, including immune-associated receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs), microtubule networks via tubulin acetylation (which disrupts cellular trafficking and signaling), and transcription factors central to defense gene regulation. This multi-target approach effectively suppresses both Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI) and Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI). In conclusion, this synthesis aims to deepen the mechanistic understanding of YopJ family-mediated pathogenesis by integrating structural biology with cellular function across host kingdoms. Elucidating the precise molecular basis for substrate selection—how conserved platforms achieve target diversity—is a major frontier. Furthermore, this knowledge provides a vital theoretical foundation for developing novel anti-virulence strategies. Targeting the conserved IP₆-binding pocket or the catalytic acetyltransferase activity itself represents a promising avenue for designing broad-spectrum inhibitors that could disarm this critical family of bacterial effectors, potentially offering new therapeutic approaches against a range of pathogenic bacteria.

This paper summarizes Professor WANG Yaoxian's experience in treating diabetic kidney disease （DKD） from the perspective of spleen and stomach based on the "internal heat leading to concretions" theory. It is considered that internal heat leading to concretions constitutes the core pathogenesis of DKD， with the spleen and stomach serving as the source of internal heat； therefore， treatment should be based on regulating the spleen and stomach. In the early stage of DKD， dysfunction of the spleen and stomach leads to the initial generation of internal heat. Common syndrome patterns include gastrointestinal heat accumulation and constrained heat in the liver and stomach， for which modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction （葛根芩连汤） can be used to clear heat bind while modified Dachaihu Decoction （大柴胡汤） is used to clear stomach and soothe liver， respectively. In the middle stage of DKD， weakness of the spleen and stomach results in the initial formation of concretions and conglomerations. Common patterns include spleen deficiency with prevalence of dampness and deficiency of both the spleen and kidney. Treatment emphasizes strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness， raising yang and boosting the stomach with modified Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤）， or supplementing spleen and boosting kidney， dissipating bind and dispe-ring concretions with modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction （参芪地黄汤）， respectively. In the late stage of DKD， it is characterized by spleen and stomach depletion， and rampant accumulation of turbidity and toxin， and the common syndrome patterns are damp-turbidity obstruction in the middle jiao （焦） and spleen-kidney yang deficiency. Treatment aims to remove turbidity and harmonize the stomach， or to warm the kidney and strengthen the spleen while elimina-ting turbidity， using modified Dahuang Gancao Decoction（大黄甘草汤） and Jupi Zhuru Decoction （橘皮竹茹汤） or modified Baoyuan Decoction （保元汤） and Lizhong Decoction （理中汤）， respectively. In clinical practice， appropriate formulas and medications are flexibly selected according to specific syndromes.

Objectives:To explore the predictive value of residual Murray's law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)on long-term vessel-oriented composite endpoints(VoCE).Methods:This retrospective study included 3 510 patients from the FAVOR Ⅲ China trial.Offline residual μQFR analysis was performed on all vessels(diameter≥2.5 mm)with 50%-90%stenotic lesions.Patients were stratified into high-,intermediate-,and low-risk groups based on residual μQFR tertiles.The primary endpoint was 3-year VoCE,defined as a composite of cardiac death related to the target vessel,target vessel-related spontaneous myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.Results:Offline analysis was performed on 5 256 vessels from 3 510 patients.The mean residual μQFR was 0.92±0.75.The high-risk group(residual μQFR≤0.91)with 1 554 patients(1 958 vessels);the intermediate-risk group(residual μQFR 0.92-0.96)with 1 211 patients(1 906 vessels);and the low-risk group(residual μQFR>0.96)with 745 patients(1 392 vessels).Over 3-year follow-up,VoCE occurred in 227 vessels(4.3%).The 3-year VoCE incidence was significantly higher in the high-risk group compared to the intermediate-and low-risk groups(6.2%vs.4.1%vs.2.5%,log-rank P<0.001),primarily driven by ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization(5.0%vs.3.0%vs.1.6%,log-rank P<0.001).Hypertension(OR=0.83,95%CI:0.72-0.96),hypercholesterolemia(OR=0.84,95%CI:0.73-0.97),bifurcation lesions(OR=0.72,95%CI:0.63-0.83),moderate/severe calcification(OR=0.70,95%CI:0.57-0.84),and tandem lesions(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.47-0.75)were independent predictors of lower residual μQFR values.Conclusions:Lower residual μQFR is significantly associated with increased VoCE risk during the 3-year follow up period.

Objective:To evaluate the role of meningeal γδ T cell-derived interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in aged mice.Methods:Forty healthy male C57BL/6N mice, aged 18 months, weighing 30-40 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each) using a table of random numbers: control group (group C), anti-γδ T cell receptor antibody (Anti-TCR γδ) group, POCD group (group P), and POCD+ Anti-TCR γδ group (group P+ Anti-TCR γδ). Anesthesia was induced with 8% sevoflurane and maintained with 3% sevoflurane, and the internal fixation for tibial fracture was performed to establish the mouse model of POCD in P and P+ Anti-TCR γδ groups. Anti-TCR γδ antibody 2.5 μg was infused into the occipital cistern on postoperative day 4 in P+ Anti-TCR γδ and Anti-TCR γδ groups. The open field test, novel object recognition test and Y-maze test were conducted sequentially at 7th day after surgery. The total distance traveled in the open field and the number of entries into the central area were recorded, and the novel object recognition index and preference index for exploring the novel arm were calculated. The mice were sacrificed at the end of the behavioral testing, the meninges were obtained for detection of the expression of IL-17A in γδ T cells by flow cytometry, and the hippocampal tissues were harvested for determination of the expression of vesicular glutamate transporter1 (VGLUT1), glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1), and IL-17A receptor (IL-17AR) (by Western blot). Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the total distance traveled in the open field test or the number of entries into the central area among the four groups ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the novel object recognition index and preference index for novel arm exploration were significantly decreased, the expression of meningeal γδ T cells and IL-17AR in hippocampal tissues was up-regulated, and the expression of VGLUT1 and GluR1 was down-regulated in group P and group P+ Anti-TCR γδ ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the aforementioned parameters in group Anti-TCR γδ ( P>0.05). Compared with group P, the novel object recognition index and preference index for novel arm exploration were significantly increased, the expression of meningeal γδ T cells and IL-17AR was down-regulated, and the expression of VGLUT1 and GluR1 was up-regulated in group P+ Anti-TCR γδ ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Increased meningeal γδ T cell-derived IL-17A can up-regulate the expression of IL17AR in the hippocampus and down-regulate the expression of VGLUT1 and GluR1, thus involving in the development of POCD in aged mice.

Objective To deeply understand the anatomical basis of temporomandibular joint disorders,and explore and master the pathological characteristics of anterior displacement of temporomandibular joint disc through cadaveric dissection and 3D printing technology.Methods By dissecting the temporomandibular joints of 40 head and neck specimens,the bilateral structures of the temporomandibular joints were measured to obtain condyle and articular disc data.3D modeling was carried out using 3ds Max software and printed out a model of temporomandibular joint.The pathological model of the anterior disc displacement with reduction(ADDwR)was simulated by adjusting the opening degree,the position of the articular disk,and the position of the condyle of the model.Results The precise data of the right and left temporomandibular joint discs and condyle were successfully obtained by dissection and measurement.The thickness of the anterior band of left temporomandibular joint discs was(2.02±0.57)mm,the thickness of the middle band was(1.46±0.33)mm,the thickness of the posterior band was(3.00±0.46)mm,the anterior-posterior diameter was(9.60±0.72)mm,and the internal-external diameter was(17.73±0.84)mm.While the thickness of the anterior band of right temporomandibular joint discs was(1.84±0.35)mm,and the thickness of the middle band was(1.43±0.28)mm,the thickness of posterior band was(3.08±0.49)mm,the anterior-posterior diameter was(9.30±0.88)mm,and the internal-external diameter was(17.38±1.10)mm.The internal-external diameter of the left temporomandibular joint condyle was(18.97±0.41)mm,and the anterior-posterior diameter was(8.56±0.43)mm;the internal-external diameter of the right temporomandibular joint condyle was(18.86±0.75)mm,and the anterior-posterior diameter was(8.40±0.30)mm.The standard temporomandibular joint model was printed out by the measured data.The model was utilized to simulate the physiological state of temporomandibular joint under normal conditions,as well as the three pathological states of closed mouth,closed mouth to open mouth,and open mouth in the case of ADDwR.Conclusion The temporomandibular joint model can more intuitively present the changes of anatomical structure in reversible temporoman-dibular joint disorders,which is helpful for understanding and mastering the different classification of this disease.

Objective:To investigate the the differential expression of EIF5A2 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell lines RBE,HCCC9810,and HUCCT1,and its effects on HCCC9810 cell migration and invasion,epithelial mesenchymal transition,and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Methods:The differential expression of EIF5A2 in RBE,HCCC9810,and HUCCT1 cell lines was detected using WB method.The HCCC9810 cell line,with the highest expression of EIF5A2,was selected for this experiment.The expression of EIF5A2 in HCCC9810 cell line was silenced by transient transfection of small interfering RNA.The best silencing effect of small interfering RNA was screened by WB.Scratch assay and Tran-swell migration invasion assay were used to detect the effect of silencing EIF5A2 on the migration and invasion ability of HCCC9810 cells.WB was used to detect the effect of silencing EIF5A2 on PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and epithelial mesenchymal transition in HCCC9810 cells.Results:The WB results showed that EIF5A2 had the highest expression in the HCCC9810 cell line,and siRNA1 had the best silencing effect on EIF5A2 in the HCCC9810 cell line.Scratch assay and Transwell migration invasion assay results showed that silencing EIF5A2 in the HCCC9810 cell line resulted in a decrease in cell invasion and metastasis ability(P＜0.05).At the same time,the expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the epithelial cell marker E-cadherin expression increased(P＜0.05)and the stromal cell marker N-cadherin expression decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:EIF5A2 may promote epi-thelial mesenchymal transition and enhance the migration and invasion ability of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the efficacy of arthroscopic reduction combined with percutaneous screw fixation in the treatment of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures.Methods Forty-eight patients with Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲcalcaneal fractures were divided into the arthroscopic reduction combined with percutaneous screw fixation(arthroscopy)group(n=23)and the tarsal sinus approach open reduction combined with screw internal fixation(tarsal sinus approach)group(n=25)according to different surgical methods and plans.The operative time,incision length,postoperative complications and secondary removal of internal fixation were compared between the two groups.Changes in B?hler's angle and Gissane's angle were evaluated and compared between the two groups at 3 months,6 months after operation and at the last follow-up.Additionally,the American Orthopaedic Foot&Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle-hindfoot score and the visual analog scale(VAS)for pain were used to assess outcomes at the last follow-up.Results Compared with the tarsal sinus approach group,the incision length was reduced,the operation time was prolonged and the incidence of complications was decreased in the arthroscopic group(P＜0.05).At 3 months,6 months after the operation and the last follow-up,there were no significant differences in the B?hler Angle,Gissanes Angle,AOFAS and VAS scores between the arthroscopic group and the tarsal sinus approach group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Both groups of regimens can enable patients to achieve good postoperative therapeutic efficacy.However,under arthroscopic assistance,surgical incisions inherently possess minimally invasive advantages,while the incidence of postoperative complications is lower compared to the sinus tarsi approach.
