BACKGROUND:The treatment of Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fractures in young adults is extremely difficult.When treating Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fractures with internal fixation,it is not only necessary to ensure the mechanical stability of the internal fixation,but also to ensure that it can resist the impact of shear,compression and tension,so as to prevent the internal fixation from breaking or loosening due to fatigue during the fracture healing process.However,existing internal fixation methods do not fully meet our requirements for the treatment of this fracture.OBJECTIVE:To provide a more reasonable and effective choice of internal fixation mode for clinicians in the treatment of young adults with Pauwels type Ⅲfemoral neck fracture,so as to optimize the treatment effect,reduce the occurrence of complications,and improve the recovery speed and quality of life of patients.METHODS:A femoral neck fracture model with Pauwels angle of 70° was constructed using CT data extracted from volunteers,and three placement modes were set up:(1)femoral neck system group:the main nail of femoral neck system was located in the center of the femoral neck axis.(2)Combination group:The main nail of femoral neck system was located in the lower third of the femoral neck axis,and a cannulated compression screw was located in the upper third of the femoral neck axis.(3)Cannulated compression screw group:The arrangement of three cannulated compression screws was arranged in the classic inverted triangle shape to ensure the maximum fixed effect.Stress distribution and displacement of proximal femoral fracture fragments and internal fixation devices were analyzed under three different internal fixation methods.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The stress of the proximal femur models in the three groups was concentrated near the fracture line:combination group(201.10 MPa)＜femoral neck system group(222.25 MPa)＜cannulated compression screw group(271.25 MPa).(2)The peak value of proximal femur displacement was located at the top:combination group(6.33 mm)＜femoral neck system group(9.37 mm)＜cannulated compression screw group(9.92 mm).(3)The internal fixation stress was concentrated on the screw surface at the broken end of the fracture and gradually extended from there to both sides;cannulated compression screw group(136.67 MPa)＜combination group(201.10 MPa)＜femoral neck system group(222.25 MPa).(4)The maximum displacement of the internal fixation device model was located at the very top of the internal fixation.The three groups gradually decreased from the top to the far end.The peak displacement values of combination group(6.21 mm)＜femoral neck system group(9.19 mm)＜cannulated compression screw group(9.51 mm).(5)The stress of proximal bone mass in the three models was mainly concentrated in the fracture end,especially in the lower part of the fracture end.This indicates that these regions were subjected to greater stress and strain during mechanical transfer;combination group(24.96 MPa)＜femoral neck system group(39.69 MPa)＜cannulated compression screw group(44.47 MPa).(6)The results indicate that the internal fixation strategy of femoral neck system combined with cannulated compression screw arranged in parallel coronal surface shows higher biomechanical stability than single femoral neck system fixation or cannulated compression screw in inverted triangle arrangement fixation,and provides a more reliable and effective solution for the treatment of Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture in young adults.

BACKGROUND:The proximal femoral nail antirotation is the preferred treatment for reverse osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures.Bone cement enhancement can reduce the probability of proximal femoral nail antirotation cut-out and cut-through,but there are no relevant biomechanical studies demonstrating the effect of bone cement content and location on the stress and displacement of the fracture end. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of different contents and locations of bone cement in cement-reinforced proximal femoral nail antirotation on stress,strain,and displacement of reverse osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly by finite element analysis. METHODS:A healthy adult female right femur model was extracted by Mimics software and smoothed in Geometric software.Five types of internal fixation methods of proximal femoral nail antirotation(cementless,cephalic spherical 1 mL,cephalic spherical 2 mL,cephalic spherical 3.4 mL,and cylindrical 5 mL around spiral blade)and femoral intertrochanteric fracture(AO subtype 31-A3.1 type)model were established in Solidworks software.After assembly,the total stress distribution,peak stress and displacement of the five models of implants with the femur were compared in Ansys software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The peak stresses of proximal femoral nail antirotation with head-end spherical 1 mL,head-end spherical 2 mL,head-end spherical 3.4 mL,and cylindrical 5 mL enhanced proximal femoral nail antirotation around the spiral blade respectively were 571.07 MPa(located at the junction of the spiral blade and the main nail),495.45 MPa(located at the junction of the spiral blade and the main nail),467.20 MPa(located at the junction of the main nail and the distal screw connection),642.70 MPa(located at the junction of the main nail and distal screw connection),and 458.58 MPa(located at the junction of the spiral blade and the main nail).(2)The maximum displacements of proximal femoral nail antirotation with head end sphere 1 mL,head end sphere 2 mL,head end sphere 3.4 mL,and with cylindrical 5 mL enhancement around the spiral blade were 9.260 5,7.589 1,7.316 8,6.790 7,and 6.615 7 mm,respectively,all of which were located at the proximal end of the femoral head.(3)These findings revealed that for reverse femoral intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation,the bone cement enhancement had significant mechanical stability compared with no enhancement,and the enhancement of the spiral blade 5 mL around the perimeter was the best,which is more preferable for aged unstable intertrochanteric fractures.

AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)is a conserved cellular energy receptor that plays an important role in regulating cell growth,proliferation,differentiation,autophagy,phosphorylation,crosstalk,and glucose and lipid metabolism.AMPK is activated during low-energy or other extreme conditions,and it is suppressed by an excess of nutrients to maintain the energy balance.Additionally,the regulatory mechanism of the AMPK signaling pathway mediating ferroptosis reflects its unique role.AMPK plays a specialized regulatory function in various organelles,which provides a new direction for disease therapy.It is also a therapeutic target to prevent diseases such as reproductive system diseases,aging,cancer,inflammation and cardiac dysfunction.This article reviews cellular energy imbalance.AMPK stimulates its potential therapeutic potential in diseases and drugs through diverse signal regulatory mechanisms.It provides a new treatment for different system diseases.This review summarizes the diverse regulatory mechanisms of the AMPK signaling pathway and provides a theoretical reference for cancer therapy and other disease therapies targeting AMPK.

Objective:To study the effects of cathepsin K(CTSK)on the healing process of tooth extraction socket and type H blood vessel angiogenesis in mice.Methods:Ctsk knockout(Ctsk-/-)mice were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and genotype sequen-cing,general observation,Micro-CT and immunohistochemistry were performed to confirm successful knockout of Ctsk.Then 8 week-old WT and Ctsk-/-mice were used to establish the tooth extraction modle by extracting the left maxillary first molars,and the mice were sac-rificed at the day 7,10,14,21,28 and 35 respectively(n=3)after tooth extraction.Then samples were subjected to stereo microscope and Micro-CT examination.Immunofluorescence staining was used to study the effect of Ctsk knockout on type H blood vessel angiogene-sis.Results:Ctsk knockout did not affect the soft tissue healing of tooth extraction socket,but significantly promoted the bone healing process,and Ctsk deficency significantly enhanced type H blood vessel angiogenesis in the tooth extraction socket.Conclusion:Ctsk knockout can enhance type H vessel angiogenesis,and promote bone healing process of tooth extraction socket in mice.

In recent years， clinical studies on targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma used alone or in combination have provided abundant evidence on efficacy and safety for the selection of first-line therapies. However， no consensus has been reached on the selection of second-line therapies in various clinical guidelines for hepatocellular carcinoma， which is caused by the fact that existing evidence is limited to the options after failure of sorafenib and that there is still a lack of high-level evidence for new first-line therapies such as second-line therapies after resistance to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. This article reviews the results of current clinical trials and summarizes the studies on second-line therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma after resistance to first-line targeted therapy and immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma based on the different mechanisms of action of drugs， as well as the research advances in recent years. For hepatocellular carcinoma patients with resistance to first-line targeted therapy and immunotherapy， targeted combination therapy and dual-immune therapy are expected to improve treatment outcome and survival， and more prospective clinical studies are needed in the future to provide effective and safe treatment regimens for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with resistance to targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
