OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness and feasibility of two osteotomy guides in medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). METHODS: Clinical data of 103 patients who underwent routine MOWHTO surgery between January 2020 and December 2022 were collected for retrospective analysis. The patients were divided into two groups based on the method of osteotomy guide plate. The control group of 51 patients received traditional osteotomy guide plate technique, including 17 males and 34 females, aged from 48 to 68 years old with an average of(57.93±4.82) years old, with a disease duration ranged from 1 to 8 years with an average of (4.89±1.49) years. The observation group of 52 patients received personalized osteotomy guide plate technique, including 23 males and 29 females, aged from 48 to 69 with an average of (58.22±5.10) years, with a disease duration ranged from 1 to 9 years with an average of(5.10±1.55) years. The perioperative indicators, complications, and knee joint recovery rate were statistically analyzed for both groups, as well as the preoperative and postoperative coagulation function, fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer (D-D), gait parameters (step frequency, step length, step speed), biomechanical indicators, weight bearing line (WBL), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), joint line conergence angle (JLCA), and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) function (body width, tibial anterior displacement). RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 6 months. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, and number of fluoroscopic views in the observation group were (358.58±93.76) ml, (84.42±8.17) min, and (2.00±0.44) times, respectively, which were all less than those in the control group (465.55±105.38) ml, (96.53±10.51) min, and (6.31±0.58) times (P<0.05). Three days after surgery, the FIB and D-D levels in the observation group were (4.21±0.48) g·L^-1 and (204.47±35.59) μg·L^-1, respectively, which were both lower than those in the control group (5.56±0.57) g·L^-1 and (311.12±42.23) μg·L^-1 (P<0.05). Three months after surgery, the step frequency, step length, and step speed in the observation group were (1.89±0.23) steps·s^-1, (0.57±0.15) m, and (0.99±0.11) m·s^-1, respectively, which were all higher than those in the control group (1.80±0.18) steps·s^-1, (0.50±0.14) m, and (0.95±0.09) m·s^-1 (P<0.05). Three months after surgery, the WBL and MPTA in the observation group were (45.53±4.41)% and (87.03±8.15)°, respectively, which were both higher than those in the control group (38.38±4.36)% and (83.68±8.50)°, and the JLCA was (2.36±0.24)°, which was lower than that in the control group (2.61±0.33)° (P<0.05). The ACL body width during internal fixation removal was (5.60±0.51) mm, which was greater than that in the control group (5.08±0.56) mm, and the tibial migration was (5.70±0.42) mm, which was less than that in the control group (6.33±0.48) mm (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Six months after surgery, there was no significant difference in the recovery rate of knee joint between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The application of personalized osteotomy guide technique in MOWHTO can help improve knee biomechanics and ACL function, and has less effect on coagulation function and no increase in complications.

In recent years,the market share of food and medicine homology substances has continued to grow,and various types of contamination issues have become the focus of attention both inside and outside the industry.The contamination not only affects the original medicinal quality,but also leads to the accumulation of toxic substances in the human body,causing acute and chronic severe hazards such as vomiting,poisoning and cancer.Therefore,the development of biosensors that can conveniently,accurately and sensitively detect various pollutants in food and medicine homology substances has become a research hotspot.Aptasensors based on metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)with advantages such as strong specificity,rapid response and simple operation,have been widely used in detection of various pollutants.This review focused on the research progress of aptasensors based on MOFs for detection of food and medicine homology contamination in the past few years,and provided a detailed comparison and analysis for detection of chemical pollutants(such as pesticide residues,heavy metal residues,mycotoxins,etc.)and microbial contamination in food and medicine homology substances.Besides,the development trend and possible challenges of MOFs aptasensors in detection of food and medicine homology substances in the future were discussed,which was anticipated to provide a reference for the development of new MOFs aptasensors.

6-Thioguanine(6-TG)is an antineoplastic agent used in treatment of acute leukemia.However,significant interindividual variability in dosing regimens and frequent clinical manifestations of hepatotoxicity and myelosuppression as adverse effects have affected its therapeutic efficacy.Consequently,the development of rapid analytical methods for 6-TG in clinical samples,enabling continuous therapeutic drug monitoring of plasma concentrations,holds substantial significance in optimizing dosage regimens,mitigating adverse reactions,and investigating drug metabolism mechanisms.In this study,multi-tipped gold nanostars(AuNSs)were prepared.With bis-(p-sulfonylphenyl)phenylphosphine molecule as the protecting agent and internal standard molecule,the AuNSs were assembled onto a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman(SERS)substrate for developing a ratio-based SERS quantitative analysis method for 6-TG in serum.The AuNSs containing multiple tips and gaps exhibited strong local surface plasmon resonance effect and SERS activity,ensuring the sensitivity of the analytical method.Furthermore,the introduction of internal standard molecules could improve the reproducibility,which guaranteed this method suitable for rapid analysis of drug molecules in complex samples.Quantitative analysis of 6-TG was achieved with linear detetion range of 1.0×10?4-1.0 mmol/L.In the spiked recovery experiments of serum,the RSD was less than 5.32%,and the recoveries were 94%-104%,which proved that this method could be used for rapid quantitative determination of 6-TG in serum.This method provided a powerful tool for studying drug pharmacokinetics,which could promote the optimization of the usage methods of anti-cancer drugs,and it was expected to further enhance the clinical efficacy and safety of 6-TG,enabling it to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

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 investigate the relationship between SET domain bifurcated 1(SETDB1)expression and trefoil factor 1(TFF1)gene methylation,along with its clinical significance.Methods:Fifty-five lung adenocarcinoma samples and normal tissues of distant cancer were collected from the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College Hebei Province.TFF1 gene methylation levels were measured by pyrosequencing,relative TFF1 mRNA expression was assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),and TFF1 and SETDB1 protein expression were quantified via immunohistochemistry.The clinical significance and correlation between TFF1 methyla-tion levels and SETDB1 protein expression were analyzed statistically.In vitro,SETDB1 siRNA or negative control siRNA was transfected into A549 cells.Following transfection,SETDB1 mRNA expression was analyzed using qRT-PCR,and SETDB1 protein expression was evaluated via Western blot.TFF1 methylation was reassessed via pyrosequencing.Results:In lung adenocarcinoma and normal tissues of distant cancer,TFF1 gene methylation rates were(70.16±6.32)%and(12.46±2.22)%,respectively.TFF1 mRNA relative expression levels were 0.56±0.17 for cancer tissues and 1.56±0.22 for the normal tissues of distant cancer.All detected differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).TFF1 protein expression rates were 29.09%(16/55)for cancer tissues and 65.45%(36/55)for the normal tissues of distant cancer.Additionally,relative positivity rates for SETDB1 protein expression were 74.55%(41/55)and 23.64%(13/55),respectively,and all differences were stat-istically significant(all P<0.05).Western blot analysis showed that SETDB1 protein expression was significantly higher in cancer tissues(72.89±5.27)%,compared to normal tissues of distant cancer(24.27±2.37)%.In contrast,TFF1 protein expressed was markedly lower in can-cer tissues(15.38±2.33)%than in normal tissues of distant cancer(72.72±4.48)%.All differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).TFF1 methylation and SETDB1 expression were associated with lung adenocarcinoma(r=0.486,P<0.05).Both TFF1 methylation and SETDB1 expression were closely associated with tumor TNM stage,tissue differentiation,and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).Furthermore,TFF1 methylation increased following SETDB1 downregulation(P<0.05).Conclusions:During lung adenocarcinoma progression,SETDB1 expres-sion correlates with TFF1 methylation,and the highly expressed SETDB1 may play a role in catalyzing TFF1 methylation.

Aim To investigate the effects of rutae-carpine(RUT)on lung inflammation in septic mice and the underlying mechanisms.Methods The sepsis mouse model was generated by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)at 5 mg·kg-1.The mice were randomly divided into the Control group,Model group,Low-dose,Medium-dose,High-dose RUT(5,10,20 mg·kg-1)treatment group and dexamethasone(DEX,2 mg·kg-1),with 10 mice in each group.The mice were intraperitoneally injected with RUT 30 min before LPS injection.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of lung tissues,and activity of my-eloperoxidase was determined to assess the neutrophil infiltration.Wet/dry weight ratio and Evan's blue ex-travasation of lung tissues were examined to assess lung edema.Survival analysis was performed to determine the in vivo protective effects of RUT.ELISA and quan-titative RT-PCR analysis were employed to determine the contents and gene expression of pro-inflammatory mediators,including tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β),IL-6,and IL-18 in lung tis-sues.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of p38 MAPK,NF-κB,Caspase-1,NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3)and IL-18.Results RUT at 10-20 mg·kg-1 could dose-de-pendently inhibit leukocyte infiltration,reduce pro-in-flammatory mediator production,vascular permeability and wet/dry weight ratio in lungs,similar to the effects induced by DEX.The mice treated with RUT exhibited increased survival,down-regulated expressions of p-p38 MAPK,p-NF-κB,Caspase-1,NLRP3,and IL-18 pro-teins in lungs,with decreased IL-18 mRNA level.Conclusions RUT exhibits protective effects on sep-sis-induced lung injury,manifested by reduced inflam-mation and edema,potentially via inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling pathway and inflammasome formation.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To characterize the changing species distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of respiratory isolates in hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems and disk diffusion method were used to test the susceptibility of respiratory bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents following the standardized technical protocol established by the CHINET program.Results A total of 589 746 respiratory isolates were collected from 2015 to 2021.Overall,82.6％of the isolates were Gram-negative bacteria and 17.4％were Gram-positive bacteria.The bacterial isolates from outpatients and inpatients accounted for(6.0±0.9)％and(94.0±0.1)％,respectively.The top microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Acinetobacter spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,Haemophilus spp.,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Escherichia coli,and Streptococcus pneumoniae.Each microorganism was isolated from significantly more males than from females(P＜0.05).The overall prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 39.9％.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was 1.4％.The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 67.8％and 41.3％,respectively.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii was 3.7％,20.8％,9.4％,29.8％,and 73.3％,respectively.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 96.1％in Moraxella catarrhalis and 60.0％in Haemophilus influenzae.The H.influenzae isolates from children(＜18 years)showed significantly higher resistance rates to β-lactam antibiotics than the isolates from adults(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are still predominant in respiratory isolates associated with serious antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened in clinical practice to support accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.
