OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential mechanism of Sanqi danshen tablets in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD）. METHODS Core targets of Sanqi danshen tablets in the treatment of NAFLD were explored by network pharmacological methods. Gene ontology （GO） functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were also performed. Based on the results obtained from network pharmacological studies， using SD rats as subjects， the NAFLD model was induced by feeding them high-fat diet. The effects of Sanqi danshen tablets on pathological changes such as lipid droplet vacuoles and lipid accumulation in the liver tissue of NAFLD rats， as well as its impact on relative indicators of lipid metabolism， inflammatory responses and oxidative stress， were investigated. RESULTS A total of 20 core targets for the treatment of NAFLD with Sanqi danshen tablets were screened， primarily involved in GO functions such as biological regulation， cellular membrane and binding， and enriched in signaling pathways related to inflammatory responses， oxidative stress and lipid metabolism. Compared with the model group， lipid droplet vacuoles were reduced significantly in low-dose， medium-dose， high-dose groups of Sanqi danshen tablets and positive control （simvastatin） group， the number of lipid droplets decreased significantly and the color became lighter. The contents of total cholesterol， triglyceride （except for medium- dose group of Sanqi danshen tablets）， aspartate transaminase， alanine transaminase， tumor necrosis factor-α （except for low-dose group of Sanqi danshen tablets）， interleukin-17 （except for Sanqi danshen tablets groups） and malondialdehyde （except for low- dose group of Sanqi danshen tablets） in liver tissue were significantly decreased， while the content of superoxide dismutase was significantly increased （P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Sanqi danshen tablets exert anti-inflammatory， antioxidant and lipid metabolism regulating effects by influencing the levels of inflammation， oxidative stress and lipids metabolism-related indicators， thereby improving NAFLD in rats.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To relate the changes in electroencephalography (EEG) signals after a spinal cord injury (SCI) with functional independence.Methods:The EEG data describing ninety SCI patients in both open and closed eye states were compared with those collected from 45 healthy counterparts. The SCI patients′ EEG data were correlated with their spinal cord independence measure (SCIM) scores at corresponding time points. The SCI patients were divided into a cervical SCI group (SCI-C group) and a non-cervical SCI group (SCI-NC group), with 45 cases in each group. The difference in EEG data between them and its correlation with the SCIM scores were also compared and analyzed.Results:In the eyes-open state, the EEG power in the frontal, central, temporal, and right occipital regions of the SCI group was lower than among the control group, on average. There were significant differences in the δ and θ low-frequency bands. The α1 band power in the frontal and right parietal regions was significantly higher in the SCI group, on average. With the eyes closed the δ band power in the right prefrontal, frontal, left central, and temporal regions of the SCI group was lower than among the control group, while the α1 band power in the right prefrontal, frontal, central, and parietal regions was significantly higher. The reactivity to eye opening of the α1 band in the right prefrontal, frontal, central, parietal, and temporal regions was less in the SCI patients compared to healthy subjects. Among the SCI patients, higher EEG power in the β2 band of the right frontal lobe and the α2 and β bands of the right temporal lobe was significantly positively correlated with higher SCIM scores during the eyes-open measurements. And the higher EEG power in the α2 band of the prefrontal and frontal lobes, the β2 band of the frontal lobe, the α2 band of the right central region, the α2 and β bands of the temporal lobe, and the α2 and β2 bands of the occipital lobe was significantly positively correlated with higher SCIM scores during the eyes-closed state. The subgroup analysis showed that the δ band power in the left temporal lobe and the α2 band power in the parietal lobe were lower among the SCI-C compared with the SCI-NC patients in the eyes-open state. With the eyes closed, the δ band power in the left frontal, left parietal, and left temporal lobes and the α2 band power in the frontal, central, parietal, temporal, and right occipital lobes was significantly lower in the SCI-C group compared to the SCI-NC group, on average. The reactivity to eye opening of the δ band in the temporal lobe, the α2 band in the left prefrontal, frontal, central, parietal, temporal, and right occipital lobes, and the β2 band in the right parietal and left occipital lobes was less in the SCI-C group than in the SCI-NC group ( P≤0.05). Among the SCI-C patients, higher EEG power in the β1 and β2 bands of the right temporal lobe with the eyes open was significantly positively correlated with higher SCIM scores. With the eyes closed, higher EEG power in the α2 and β1 bands of the right prefrontal lobe was significantly positively correlated with higher SCIM scores. Among the SCI-NC patients, higher EEG power in the δ band of the prefrontal lobe, the β1 and β2 bands of the left prefrontal lobe, and the δ bands of the frontal, central, right parietal, and right temporal lobes during the eyes open measurements was significantly positively correlated with higher SCIM scores. Conclusions:The EEG power of cervical and non-cervical SCI patients shows characteristic changes which correlate with their functional independence.

With advancements in interventional radiology, the interventional diagnosis and treatment are widely applicable for pediatric cardiac diseases. The ionizing radiation during interventional procedures can result in an elevated cancer risk, directly proportional to the radiation dose received. Moreover, it may induce tissue reactions beyond a specific threshold. Given that children are about 2-3 times susceptible to radiation as much as adults, it will be crucial to improve dose control during pediatric interventions, establish the corresponding diagnostic reference level and optimize the diagnosis and treatment procedures. Some countries have carried out dose monitoring and evaluation of pediatric cardiac interventional procedures and established corresponding diagnostic reference levels, but it has yet been in the process of research. This paper reviews the current research status on assessing radiation doses and setting diagnostic reference levels for children receiving congenital heart disease interventions so as to provide a baseline for future measurements and investigations.

Drug-induced liver injury(DILI)is a common adverse drug reaction in clinical practice,which can lead to acute liver failure and even death in severe cases.In recent years,with the continuous introduction of new drugs and the expansion of their usage,the incidence and mortality rates of DILI have shown an upward trend,posing significant challenges to public health and clinical treatment.Macrophages,as a crucial component of the innate immune system,exhibit high plasticity and heterogeneity.They can polarize into pro-inflammatory M1 type or anti-inflammatory M2 type in response to microenvironmental signals.Research has demonstrated that macrophage polarization plays a central regulatory role in the occurrence and progression of DILI by influencing various processes such as inflammatory responses,cell apoptosis,and tissue repair.This review focuses on elucidating the regulatory mechanisms and roles of macrophage polarization in DILI,providing a theoretical framework for developing precise immunotherapeutic strategies.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combining surgical treatment with biological agents for perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease(pfCD).Methods Sixty patients with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease(pfCD)admitted to our hospital from May 2021 to December 2023 were randomly allocated into two groups:Treatment Group A(n=30)and Treatment Group B(n=30).Treatment Group A received pfCD surgery combined with inflix-imab(IFX)and azathioprine(AZA),while Treatment Group B underwent pfCD surgery along with ustekinumab(UST)and AZA.The CDAI score,PDAI score,and Assche score were monitored for both groups,and postoperative MRI examinations were conducted to evaluate the healing of pfCD.Results There were statistically significant differences in CDAI,PDAI,and Assche scores between pre-treatment and post-treatment comparisons within treat-ment groups A and B(P<0.05),as well as in the magnitude of change at each time point.Comparisons of CDAI,PDAI,and Assche scores at 8,16,24,and 32 weeks,and PDAI scores at 40 weeks between groups A and B using independent samples t-tests did not yield statistically significant results(P>0.05).However,significant differences were observed for CDAI and Assche scores at 40 weeks(P<0.05).Significant changes in CDAI,PDAI,and Assche scores were noted at 8,16,24,32,and 40 weeks post-treatment within both groups A and B(P<0.05).Multiple comparisons using the LSD method revealed that the changes in these scores at each time point were statistically significant(P<0.05).The data indicate a temporal trend in the changes of CDAI,PDAI,and Assche scores,with group B showing a more rapid decline compared to group A.In terms of fistula response rates,both groups A and B achieved 100%(30/30).However,the clinical healing rate of fistulas was higher in group B at 86.7%(26/30)compared to 76.7%(23/30)in group A.Conclusion The combination of surgical treatment with IFX/UST plus AZA is safe and effective for treating pfCD.However,the long-term efficacy of combining surgical treatment with UST appears to be superior.
