OBJECTIVE: To explore clinical effects of bone setting manipulation combined with pry reduction and Kirschner needle internal fixation in treating SandersⅡ-Ⅲ calcaneal fracture. METHODS: Clinical data of 52 patients with types Sanders Ⅱand Ⅲ calcaneal fracture (foot) treated with bone-setting manipulation combined with pry reduction and Kirscher needle internal fixation from July 2017 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 43 males and 9 females, aged from 31 to 72 years old with an average of (50.83±10.48) years old; 15 patients with Sanders typeⅡ and 37 patients with Sanders type Ⅲ. The changes of Bühler angle, Gissane angle, calcaneus width and calcaneus height before operation and 24 months after operation were compared, and Maryland foot function score was performed to evaluate clinical effects. RESULTS: All patients were followed up from 24 to 60 months with an average of (41.50±9.86)months. The fracture healed normally and the healing time was (11.00±0.95) weeks. Bühler angle, Gissane angle, calcaneal bone width and calcaneal bone height were increased from (16.37±8.36)°, (96.27±9.62)°, (46.82±4.67) mm, (38.41±3.58) mm before operation to (31.48±8.24)°, (111.62±8.69)°, (42.06±4.83) mm, (44.21±3.82) mm at 24 months after operation, and the difference were statistically significant (P<0.01). Postoperative Maryland score at 24 months was (93.04±8.83), 40 patients got excellent result, 7 good and 5 fair. CONCLUSION Orthopedic manipulation combined with percutaneous reduction and Kirschner wire internal fixation could significantly improve Bühler angle, Gissane angle, width, and height of Sanders typeⅡ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures, and the curative effect is satisfactory.

Objective To establish a stable,reliable,and clinically relevant porcine model of endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Ten 8-month-old male Bama minipigs were deeply sedated,followed by invasive mechanical ventilation and electrocardiographic monitoring.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was intravenously pumped at 600 μg/(kg·h)for 3 hours,then maintained at 15 μg/(kg·h)thereafter.Dynamic monitoring was performed at five time points after LPS injection(LPS 0,1,3,5,and 8 h),including arterial blood gas analysis and chest computed tomography(CT)scans.Pathological examination of lung tissues obtained via bronchoscopic biopsy(HE staining and transmission electron microscopy)was conducted.These indicators were comprehensively used to evaluate the success of the animal model.Results At 5 hours after LPS administration,8 minipigs developed symptoms such as skin cyanosis,elevated body temperature,and respiratory distress.The oxygenation index decreased to<300 mmHg.Chest CT scans showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.Histopathology revealed alveolar edema and hyaline membrane formation.Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated disruption of pulmonary blood-air barrier,depletion of lamellar bodies in type Ⅱ pneumocytes,inflammatory cell infiltration,and exudation of plasma proteins and fibrin.Compared with LPS 0 h,at LPS 8 h,the oxygenation index and arterial blood pH were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while blood lactic acid and serum potassium were significantly increased(P<0.05);serum calcium and base excess were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the lung injury score based on HE-stained lung sections was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion The porcine ARDS model established by continuous LPS injection can dynamically simulate the pathophysiological characteristics and typical pathological manifestations of clinical septic ARDS,making it an effective tool to study the pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment strategies of septic ARDS.

Objective: To explore the causal link of cumulative ecological risk and future orientation with health risk behaviors among higher vocational college students, so as to provide reference for reducing and preventing health risk behaviors among higher vocational college students. Methods: A longitudinal follow up study was conducted on 612 students using convenience sampling from 2 vocational colleges in Hunan Province. The Cumulative Ecological Risk Scale, Future Orientation Scale, and Health Risk Behavior Scale were used during three follow up visits (T1: September 2022, T2: June 2023, T3: March 2024), and a cross lagged panel model was constructed to examine the longitudinal causal relationship of cumulative ecological risk, future orientation and health risk behaviors. Analysis of longitudinal intermediary effect between variables by Bootstrap. Results: The cumulative ecological risk scores of T1, T2 and T3 among higher vocational college students were (2.94±1.44,2.99±1.63,3.02±1.54), future orientation scores (40.49±4.71,41.51±5.72,41.06±4.35) and health risk behavior scores (3.73±2.01,3.49±2.00,3.23±2.00). The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed that the future orientation score of T2 was higher than that of T1, and the main effect of measurement time was statistically significant ( F=5.09，P＜0.01,η 2=0.02). The health risk behavior score of T1 was higher than that of T2, and the health risk behavior score of T2 was higher than that of T3, and the main effect of measurement time was statistically significant ( F=10.12，P＜0.01,η 2=0.03).The cross lagged model showed good adaptability, with χ 2/df =7.20 ( P <0.01), relative fitting indicators GFI=0.98, CFI=0.99, TLI=0.96, IFI=0.99, NFI =0.99, and absolute fitting indicator RMSEA =0.06. Among them, the T1, T2 cumulative ecological risk showed negatively predictive effects on T2, T3 future orientation ( β =-0.24, -0.47 ), and T1, T2 cumulative ecological risk positively predicted T2, T3 health risk behavior ( β =0.20, 0.24), while T1, T2 future orientation negatively predicted T2, T3 health risk behavior ( β =-0.25, -0.18) ( P ＜0.01). Bootstrap test analysis found that T2 future orientation had a longitudinal mediating effect ( β=0.04, P ＜0.01) on the T1 cumulative ecological risk and T3 health risk behavior. Conclusions The accumulation of ecological risk among higher vocational college students can positively predict health risk behaviors, while future orientation can negatively predict healthrisk behaviors. Moreover, future orientation plays a longitudinal mediating role between accumulated ecological risks and health risk behaviors.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacies of extrapleural internal fixation and transthoracic internal fixation in the treat-ment of thoracic tuberculosis.Methods A total of 70 patients with thoracic tuberculosis(T4 to T10)who were admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2023 were enrolled,and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The 35 patients treated with extrapleural internal fixation were included in the extrapleural group,and the other 35 patients treated with transthoracic internal fixation were included in the transthoracic group.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,bone graft fusion time,kyphotic angle before and after operation,visual analogue scale(VAS)and Oswestry disability index(ODI)scores after operation,postoperative complications and recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the transthoracic group,the operation time and bone graft fusion time were significantly shortened,and the intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced in the extrapleural group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The postoperative kyphotic angles of the two groups were smaller than those before operation,the postoperative kyphotic angle of the extrapleural group was smaller than that of the transthoracic group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS score 7 days after operation of the extrapleural group was lower than that of the transthoracic group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The ODI score 1 month after operation of the extrapleural group was lower than that of the transthoracic group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the extrapleural group(0)was lower than that in the transthoracic group(34.28%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Extrapleural internal fixation has the advantages of short time,less bleeding and less trauma in the treatment of thoracic tuberculosis,but it is difficult to completely remove the lesions.Transthoracic internal fixation can completely remove the lesion,but the surgical trauma is large.The choice of clinical operation plan should be comprehensively considered according to the specific condition of the patients,the location of the lesion,and the condition of the lung,so as to achieve the best treatment effect.

Objective:To construct recombinant lentivirus and adenovirus which regulate the expression of c-Cbl gene and evaluate their efficacy.Methods:The interference lentivirus and overexpressed adenovirus targeting human c-Cbl gene were constructed by gene recombination technology.Quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression changes in c-Cbl gene and its transcription after leukemia cells(HL60,THP1)were infected by virus.Results:Three recombinant interfering lentiviral vectors targeting human c-Cbl genes to successfully constructed and were identified by DNA sequencing,and the titers of the packaged viruses were all greater than 1 x 108 TU/ml.Among them,shRNA-2 lentivirus had the highest interference efficiency,and the expression of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein were decreased about 95％and 60％respectively after leukemia cells were infected with shRNA-2;In addition,the recombinant overexpression adenovirus targeting human c-Cbl gene was packaged successfully with the virus titer greater than 1 x 109 TU/ml.When leukemia cells were infected with adenovirus,the expression of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein were up-regulated about 10 times and 1.5 times respectively.Conclusion:Both recombinant interfering lentivirus and overexpression adenovirus can efficiently infect leukemia cells and affect the expressions of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein.It will lay a preliminary foundation for the subsequent study on the function of c-Cbl gene in tumor cells.

OBJECTIVE: To explore clinical efficacy of unilateral and bilateral nail-rod system fixation in single-level intervertebral fusion fixation of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and instability with unilateral dual-channel spinal endoscopy. METHODS: The clinical data of 63 patients with LDH complicated with instability treated by unilateral double-channel spinal endoscopy from March 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to intraoperative fixation methods, the patients were divided into two groups, included unilateral nail rod system fixation group(unilateral group) and bilateral nail rod system fixation group(bilateral group). There were 31 patients in unilateral group, including 15 males and 16 females; aged from 40 to 67 years old with an average of (54.65±7.32) years old; 3 patients with L_3,4, 15 patients with L_4,5, 13 patients with L₅S₁. There were 32 patients in bilateral group, including 18 males and 14 females, aged from 43 to 68 years old with an average of (56.19±6.63) years old;4 patients with L_3,4, 17 patients with L_4,5, 11 patients with L₅S₁. The time of operation, length of incision, operation time, length of hospital stay, cost of treatment, occurrence of complications and adverse events were recorded and compared between two groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) of lumbar and leg pain, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were compared before operation, 3 and 12 months after operation. MacNab standard was used to evaluate clinical effect. RESULTS: Both of two groups were successfully completed operation and followed up. In unilateral fixation group, follow-up time, operation time, incision length, postoperative ambulation time, hospital stay and treatment cost were (11.81±1.08) months, (122.48±13.86) min, (3.15±0.45) cm, (3.06±0.73) d, (6.87±1.09) d, and (3.49±0.09) ten thousand yuan;while (11.47±1.16) months, (134.94±10.94) min, (6.45±0.83) cm, (3.19±0.86) d, (7.03±1.03) d, (3.77±0.12) ten thousand yuan in bilateral fixation group, respectively;there were significant differences in operation time, incision length and treatment cost between two groups (P<0.05), no significant difference in follow-up time, postoperative ambulation time and hospital stay (P>0.05). There were no significant difference in VAS of low back pain, JOA score, ODI and MacNab grade between two groups before and after operation (P>0.05). No significant complications and adverse events were observed between two groups after operation. CONCLUSION Both of unilateral and bilateral nail rod system for the treatment of LDH with instability could achieve the expected results. Unilateral fixation has more advantageous than bilateral fixation in terms of operation time, incision length and treatment cost. For patients with osteoporosis before operation or insufficient fixation strength of unilateral pedicle nails during surgery, bilateral fixation is feasible to enhance reliability of fixation.
