Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective:To construct a clinical early warning model for bladder spasm occurred after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)based on LASSO regression.Methods:The clinical data of 139 patients with BPH who underwent TURP treatment in Yellow River Sanmenxia Hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were prospectively selected,and they were divided into spasm group(39 cases)and non-spasm group(100 cases)according to whether bladder spasm occurred after surgery.The characteristics of bladder spasm occurred after TURP in patients with BPH were statistically analyzed,and the general data between the two groups were compared.LASSO regression was used to screen the characteristic variables related to bladder spasm occurred after TURP,multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of bladder spasm after TURP.The prediction model of bladder spasm after TURP was constructed,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the efficacy of the prediction model.Results:The incidence of bladder spasm after TURP was 28.06％.There were significant differences in age,history of diabetes,operation time,temperature of irrigating fluid,traction tension of urinary catheter,prostate volume and postoperative hospital stay between non-spasm group and spasm group(P＜0.05).LASSO regression showed that operation time,age,traction tension of urinary catheter,temperature of irrigating fluid,history of diabetes were important characteristics of bladder spasm occurred after TURP.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that old age,history of diabetes and long operation time were independent risk factors of bladder spasm occurred after TURP(P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the risk prediction model for bladder spasm occurred after TURP was 0.885(95％CI:0.752-0.921).Conclusions:Old age,history of diabetes and long operation time are independent risk factors of bladder spasm occurred after TURP,the clinical warning model based on LASSO regression has a certain value in predicting the risk for bladder spasm occurred after TURP,which helps to identify high-risk patients early.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the risk factors of venous thromboembolism(VTE)in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF),and establish a model for predicting the risk of VTE.Methods:A nested case-control study was conducted on CHF patients admitted in Pengzhou People's Hospital between June 2022 and June 2023.A total of 66 patients were diagnosed with VTE among the 960 CHF patients.Then another 66 patients paired by age and gender to those with VTE were selected from the remaining non-VTE patients as control group.Gener-al data,D dimer(D-D),thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT),plasmin-α2-antiplasmin complex(PIC),tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex(t-PAIC),thrombomodulin(TM)and Padua score were compared between two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors of VTE in CHF patients.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was applied to assess the efficacy of each indicator in predicting the risk of VTE in CHF patients.Results:Compared to patients in the non-VTE group,those in the VTE group had significantly higher D-D[3.26(1.87,6.19)mg/L vs.0.81(0.56,1.26)mg/L],TAT[5.60(4.90,8.80)ng/ml vs.2.60(1.70,3.30)ng/ml],TM[16.40(13.50,20.03)TU/ml vs.9.65(7.60,11.20)TU/ml],PIC[1.24(0.94,1.68)μg/ml vs.0.84(0.65,1.22)μg/ml],t-PAIC[12.60(9.38,17.05)ng/ml vs.7.70(5.53,9.70)ng/ml],proportion of atrial fibrillation/flutter(54.5％vs.22.7％)and Padua score[4(3,4)points vs.3(2,3)points](P＜0.001 all),and significantly lower lymphocyte count[0.99(0.60,1.38)×109/Lvs.1.20(0.76,1.67)×109/L,P=0.020].Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that after adjusting confounders,TM(OR=2.456,95％CI 1.389～14.296,P=0.012)and Padua score(OR=3.257,95％CI 1.270～13.073,P=0.037)were independent risk factors for VTE in CHF patients.A predictive model was constructed using above-mentioned two indexes.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of the combined prediction was 0.941(95％CI 0.901～0.980),which was significantly higher than those of TM(AUC=0.889,95％CI 0.833～0.945)and Padua score(AUC=0.801,95％CI 0.731～0.871)alone(Z=2.672,4.063,P=0.008,＜0.001).Conclusion:Padua score and TM were independent risk factors for VTE in CHF patients,and their combined detec-tion could better predict the risk of VTE in these patients.

Objective To study the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes of patients with chronic heart failure(CHF)combined with diuretic resistance by using the Wenyang Huayin Yangxin Prescription,and to observe its therapeutic efficacy.Methods A total of 68 CHF patients complicated with diuretic resistance and who had Yangqi deficiency and presenting blood stasis syndrome combined with Tanyin were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group.The control group was given intravenous furosemide(≥ 80 mg/d)via infusion pump in addition to standard Western medical treatment,while the observation group was given intravenous furosemide(＜80 mg/d)via infusion pump along with the Wenyang Huayin Yangxin Prescription(30 g Astragalus,15 g Poria,15 g Baizhu,15 g Chuanxiong,10 g Danfu tablet,10 g Cassia,10 g Alisma,and 10 g Zhimu).The quantitative index of diuretic resistance was used as the primary outcome measure.In addition,the differences between the two groups in TCM syndromes,cardiac function-related indicators,incidence of endpoint events,and readmission rate were compared.Results After 2 weeks of treatment,the filtration sodium excretion fraction(FENa)in the observation group was(0.18±0.04)％,while that of the control group was(0.16±0.03)％,showing a statistically significant difference(P=0.037).The 24-hour urine volume and urine Na+/K+ratio in the observation group increased significantly from baseline levels and were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The differences in the changes of 24-hour urine volume,urine sodium,FENa,and urine Na+/K+ratio between the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The TCM syndrome scores decreased in both groups after 2 weeks of treatment,with the observation group showing a significantly greater reduction compared with the control group(P＜0.001).The differences in the changes of TCM syndrome scores between the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.001).After 2 weeks of treatment,the observation group showed significant improvements in palpitations,shortness of breath,facial and limb edema,spontaneous sweating,chest tightness(pain),asthma,and oliguria compared with the baseline data(P＜0.05),while the control group showed improvements only in facial and limb edema,asthma,and oliguria(P＜0.05).Except for the asthma syndrome after 2 weeks of treatment,the observation group showed better outcomes in spontaneous sweating,chest tightness(pain),asthma,and oliguria at various time points after treatment compared with the control group(P＜0.05).After 2 weeks of treatment,the observation group had significantly better cardiac output(CO)and stroke volume(SV)compared with those of the control group(P＜0.05).The differences in the changes in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),SV,and CO between the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After 24 weeks of follow-up,no significant differences in the incidence of end-point events or readmission rates between the two groups were observed.Conclusion The Wenyang Huayin Yangxin Prescription,combined with low-dose intravenous furosemide administered through an infusion pump,can improve the TCM syndromes of patients with Yangqi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome combined with Tanyin in addition to CHF complicated by diuretic resistance.This treatment improves the patients'heart function and diuretic resistance,reduces the intravenous dosage of diuretic,and enhances clinical efficacy.This approach should be more widely applied in clinical settings.

Spinal cord injury(SCI)is a serious central nervous system traumatic disease that usually leads to severe neurological dysfunction below the site of injury.Studies have shown that SCI is closely related to oxidative stress,inflammatory responses,and mitochondrial dynamic imbalance.Mitochondrial dysfunction,such as accumulation of mitochondrial DNA damage,depletion of ATP,and impairment of oxidative stress regulation,can lead to dysfunction or death of neurons.Mitochondrial fusion plays a key role in maintaining energy balance and promoting neurological recovery after SCI.This review summarizes the changes in mitochondrial dynamics after SCI and the neuroprotective mechanisms mediated by mitochondrial fusion,with aim to provide new ideas on the treatment of SCI.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of a novel FANCL mutation identified in a patient with premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)and to explore its potential functional impacts in vitro.Methods A novel FANCL heterozygous mutation c.1033G>A(p.Glu345Lys)was screened in a patient with POI using whole exome sequencing(WES),which was found to be inherited from a mother who had undergone early menopause.The authenticity of the mutation was identified by Sanger sequencing and the conserved nature of the mutation site was predicted by software.Overexpressing FANCL mutant and wildtype plasmids were constructed and transiently transfected into HEK293T cell lines,and the effect of the mutation was detected by qPCR,immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results The mutation site of FANCL was located within the Ring domain of FANCL,which was highly conserved across multiple species.The mutant showed no significant change in mRNA expression level,while the protein expression level was significantly down-regulated.In vitro cellular experiments further revealed that the mutation leads to decreased expression levels by reducing protein stability.Conclusion A FANCL c.1033G>A mutation was found and it may cause disease in the POI patient due to decreased protein stability.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the association between metabolic factors and high-risk colorectal adenoma(CRA).Methods The medical records of patients aged 18-75 years who underwent their initial colonoscopy at Karamay Central Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from Jul 2000 to Mar 2017 were collected.The comparison between normal colonoscopy(NC)and high-risk CRA patients was conducted using an unpaired t-test,while chi-square test was used for categorical variables.Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression and Logistic regression were utilized to analyze the association between metabolic factors and high-risk CRA.Results A total of 1 798 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled and divided into normal colonoscopy(NC)findings group(n=972)and high-risk CRA group(n=826).The high-risk CRA group exhibited significantly lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)in comparison to the NC group,while uric acid and fibrosis 4(FIB-4)index levels were significantly higher than those observed in the NC group(all P<0.05).Based on LASSO regression analysis,we identified 12 variables that potentially influence the occurrence of high-risk CRA,including age,gender,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),hypertension,coronary artery disease,hyperglycemia,hypercholesterolemia,low levels of HDL-C,elevated alanine aminotransferase,and elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase.Multivariate analysis revealed that individuals aged over 50 years,male gender,cigarette and alcohol consumption,low HDL-C levels,history of NAFLD and hypertension were identified as independent risk factors associated with high-risk CRA(P<0.05).In addition,without or with adjusting for age,sex,smoking,and drinking history,patients with a high TG/HDL-C ratio(the ratio≥2.68)had a significantly higher risk of high-risk CRA than those with a low TG/HDL-C ratio(the ratio<2.68)[odds ratios(ORs)were1.430 and 1.235 respectively,all P<0.05)].Without or with adjusting variables,the ORs for NAFLD patients with FIB-4 index>2.67 were 1.849(P=0.466)and 1.435(P=0.707),respectively.Conclusion A significant association exists between metabolic factors and high-risk CRA.Independent risk factors for high-risk CRA include older age(≥50 years),male,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,low levels of HDL-C,and a history of NAFLD and hypertension.Individuals exhibiting a TG/HDL-C ratio exceeding 2.68 manifest a significantly heightened susceptibility to the development of high-risk CRA.Therefore,elderly males with one or more aforementioned metabolic abnormalities should be considered a priority population for colorectal screening.

Aim To explore the neuroprotective effects of salidroside on Parkinson's disease(PD)through modulation of inflammatory responses and the underly-ing mechanisms.Methods Mice were divided into five groups:healthy control group,1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)disease group,low-dose Rhodioloside intervention group,medium-dose salidroside intervention group,and high-dose salidro-side intervention group.MPTP-induced PD mouse model was established,and salidroside intervention was administered.Behavioral changes,inflammatory cyto-kine levels,autophagy-related protein expression,and neurons were observed through histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining.Results After MPTP treatment,mice exhibited significant behavioral chan-ges,increased pro-inflammatory cytokines,decreased anti-inflammatory cytokines,reduced autophagy-related proteins,and evident pyroptosis.Salidroside interven-tion alleviated these changes in a dose-dependent man-ner.Conclusions Salidroside exerts neuroprotective effects on PD by alleviating inflammatory responses and promoting autophagy,thereby protecting neurons.
