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.

Objective:To formulate a community teacher standard for the training of general practitioner program (direction in hospice care).Methods:This was a qualitative study. Twenty-nine experts in general practice and hospice care from various teaching hospitals and community health service centers were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi consultation from April to August 2022. Based on the results of the consultation, a standard for community faculty training in comprehensive care and end-of-life care for general practitioners was formulated, and the weight coefficients of the indicators were calculated.Results:Of the 29 experts, 11 (37.9%) were male, their age was (52.9±8.9) years, and their working life was (17.0±7.2) years. In the two rounds of expert consultation, the expert positive coefficient was 100.0% (29/29) and 96.6% (28/29), the expert authority coefficient was 0.789 and 0.851, and the expert opinion coordination coefficient W of the importance of all indicators was 0.124 and 0.131, respectively ( χ2=123.01, 131.71, P<0.05). Finally, a set of community-based teacher standard for general practitioner specialty training (direction in hospice care) was established, which consisted of 4 first-level indicators and 30 second-level indicators. The four first-level indicators were basic literacy, clinical qualification and ability, teaching qualification and ability, and scientific research ability, all with the weight coefficients of 0.254, 0.254, 0.252 and 0.240, respectively. Conclusion:The standard of teachers in the community base of general practitioner specialty training (direction in hospice care) established in this study is more scientific, which is conducive to the comprehensive evaluation of teachers in the community training base.

Objective:To develop accreditation standards for clinical faculty in general practitioner specialized training of hospice care.Methods:This was a qualitative study. Twenty nine experts in fields of general practice and hospice care were invited for two rounds of Delphi consultation from April 2022 to August 2022.

In November 23, 2023, a patient with 9 digits traumatic crush injury by machine compression was emergently admitted to the Department of Hand and Microsurgery, Sichuan Modern Hospital. Emergency procedures included amputation the distal stumps and replantation of proximal phalanges of left ring and little fingers. Wounds in both hands were temporarily covered with bone cement. On December 4, 2023, reconstruction of 5 digits were performed. Digital defects were: Type Ⅲ defects of left index and middle fingers and right thumb and index fingers and Type IV defect of right middle finger. All 5 reconstructed digits survived. Subsequent refinements yielded favourable outcomes and all donor toes were preserved completely. At the 14-month follow-up, the reconstructed digits exhibited satisfactory appearance and length without difficulties in daily life and at work.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of free anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in lower extremity in elderly patient.Methods:From February 2018 to August 2024, 24 elderly patients (14 males, 10 females. Age range: 70-89 years, mean age: 73.47 years) with soft tissue defects in lower extremity were treated with free ALTPFs in the Department of Hand Microsurgery, Sichuan Modern Hospital. All patients had comorbidities including chronic pulmonary diseases (10 cases), anaemia in various severity (15 cases), atherosclerosis (9 cases), diabetes mellitus (6 cases), hypertension (5 cases) and great saphenous varicose veins (4 cases). Fourteen patients were admitted to hospital though emergency department due to trauma. Of these patients, 2 underwent emergency flap transfer surgery, 12 had temporary wound coverage with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or bone cement, followed by flap surgery at 3-7 days later. Ten patients with chronic wounds were admitted through outpatient clinic and underwent flap surgery at approximately 7 days after multidisciplinary team consultation and completion of preoperative preparation. A total of 15 patients received blood transfusion: 3 before the surgery, 10 in the surgery and 2 after the surgery. Defect locations were: right calf and ankle (6 cases), right foot (5 cases), left calf and ankle (10 cases) and left foot (3 cases). Defect sizes ranged from 5.0 cm×7.0 cm to 9.0 cm×30.0 cm, with exposure of tendon, bone or internal fixation. The size of ALTPFs ranged from 6.0 cm×8.0 cm to 10.0 cm×40.0 cm. All artery of flaps was end-to-end anastomosed with the recipient artery, and the vein of flaps was anastomosed with the accompanying vein by recipient artery. Donor sites were either closed directly or reconstructed with skin grafts. All patients were included in postoperative follow-up via visit of outpatient clinic or WeChat for evaluation of flap and donor sites.Results:All 24 flaps survived. Two cases presented with venous occlusion after surgery and surgical exploration discovered: 1 patient had a long-segment venous thrombosis in the recipient vein and was treated with great saphenous vein transposition for re-anastomosis; the other had a deep haematoma compressing of the flap, which was removed surgically with haemostasis. Follow-up lasted for 3 to 24 months. All donor sites healed well without local tenderness, leaving only linear or skin graft scars. The flap survived well, without infection, ulceration or necrosis. All ankle function was preserved.Conclusion:Transfer of free ALTPF is a valuable technique for treatment of soft tissue defects in lower extremity in elderly patients. Despite higher risks, satisfactory outcome can be achieved with thorough preoperative evaluation and surgical intervention, especially when the condition of a patient is stable, an early ambulation for functional recovery should be started.

Objective To investigate the factors that influence ocular surface biology and visual acuity in individuals with diabetic dry eye(DDE)and analyze how these factors contribute to changes in visual quality.Methods Based on the disease duration,fasting blood glucose(FBG),and glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels of patients with type 2 diabe-tes mellitus(T2DM),the DDE patients were divided into different groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors related to ocular surface biology and visual quality in each group of DDE patients.Tear film stability was evaluated based on the tear film rupture time(BUT),Schirmer I test(SIt),and ocular surface disease index(OSDI).Lip-iview? Surface interferometers were used to measure tear film lipid layer thickness(LLT),meibomian gland loss rate(MGP),meibomian gland opening number(MGYLS),and meibomian gland secretion score(MGYSS).Wavefront aber-rometry was used to measure corneal wavefront aberration values at 4 mm and 6 mm pupil diameters.Ocular response ana-lyzer(ORA)was adopted to analyze corneal hysteresis(CH)and corneal resistance factor(CRF).Moreover,ELISA ex-periment to evaluate the trend of changes in inflammatory factors in tears.Results Logistic regression analysis revealed that T2DM duration,smoking history,FBG,HbA1c,total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),OSDI score,LLT,BUT,SIt,MGP,MGYLS,MGYSS,total higher-order aberrations,spherical aberration,coma aberration,trefoil aberration,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6,matrix metalloproteinase-9,receptor for advanced glycation end products,and insu-lin were all influencing factors for the risk of DDE(all P＜0.05).As the T2DM course prolonged and FBG or HbA1 c levels rose,tear film-related indicators(LLT,BUT,and SIt)and meibomian gland-related indicators(MGYLS and MGYSS)inpa-tients gradually decreased,while OSDI scores and MGP gradually increased(all P＜0.05).As the T2DM course prolonged and FBG or HbA1c levels rose,the total higher-order aberrations,spherical aberration,coma aberration,and trefoil aber-ration in DDE patients under 4 mm and 6 mm pupil diameters gradually increased;Meanwhile,best corrected visual acuity,corneal hysteresis,and corneal resistance factor gradually decreased;The contents of tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6,matrix metalloproteinase-9,receptor for advanced glycation end products,and insulin in tears all gradually increased,while mucin-5AC gradually decreased(all P＜0.05).Conclusion With the prolongation of T2DM duration and the in-crease of FBG or HbA1c,the ocular surface inflammatory response in DDE patients gradually worsens,corneal biological function decreases,and visual quality deteriorates.Timely systemic and local interventions are of great significance for im-proving dry eye symptoms and visual quality in DDE patients.

Objective To propose a conditional diffusion model based on template priors for correcting streaky metal artifacts characterized by alternating bright and dark patterns that appear in reconstructed computed tomography(CT)images due to the presence of metallic implants.Methods After isolating metal region using image segmentation technology to generate metal trajectory projection data,the projection data of metal trajectory and the corresponding projection data of template prior images were excluded.Subsequently,a conditional diffusion model was developed to recover the missing portions of the projection data in the metal-affected regions.Finally,the restored projection data were reconstructed using filtered back projection to obtain the corrected image.Results Compared with artifact disentanglement network and diffusion model,the proposed approach improved peak signal to noise ratio by 3.44 and 0.749 dB,and increased structural similarity index by 0.079 and 0.015,respectively.Conclusion The proposed approach outperforms traditional metal artifact correction methods and exhibits superior performance in reducing both streaky and shadow artifacts.
