BACKGROUND:Arthroscopic anchor repair has become the main treatment method for rotator cuff tears at present.Among them,the insertion status of the anchor is a key factor in the success or failure of the operation.However,currently,the impact of the insertion depth of the anchor on the stress of the bone tunnel and the anchor under different bone density conditions remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:To explore the stress distribution of the bone tunnel and the anchor when the insertion depth of the anchor varies under different bone density conditions by using three-dimensional finite element analysis technology.METHODS:The CT image data of the humerus of volunteers were collected,and the models of the humerus and the anchor were constructed by using Mimics,3-Matic,and Solidworks software.In 3-Matic,holes with distances of 0,2,4,6,and 8 mm from the surface of the humerus were respectively created at the same position of the humerus and assembled with the anchor.In Mimics,values were assigned based on the CT gray value to obtain a model with normal bone mass(T value ≥-1.0).The parameters were changed to construct models with reduced bone mass(-2.5<T value<-1.0)and osteoporosis(T value<-2.5).In each model,a 70 N pulling force was applied to the anchor along the direction tangent to the inner edge of the bone tunnel.The stress distribution and magnitude of the bone tunnel and the anchor when inserted at different depths under different bone density conditions were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)When the insertion depth was the same,as the bone density decreased,the maximum equivalent stress of the anchor increased,while the maximum equivalent stress of the bone tunnel decreased.(2)When the bone density was the same,as the insertion depth of the anchor increased,the maximum equivalent stress of the anchor decreased.When the insertion depth was 4 mm,the stress of the bone tunnel was the smallest and the distribution was relatively uniform.The stress of the anchor was mainly distributed around the lower anchor hole and the proximal thread,and the stress of the bone tunnel was mainly at the part in contact with the proximal thread.The increase in the insertion depth would change the uniformity and pattern of the stress distribution,while the bone density had a relatively small impact on the stress distribution pattern.(3)It is concluded that the bone density of the humerus is crucial for the anchor repair of rotator cuff tears.It is recommended that clinicians measure the bone density of the greater tuberosity of the humerus before the operation.Excessive insertion depth of the anchor does not significantly increase its stability.Clinicians can conduct personalized preoperative assessments by using the finite element analysis method in combination with the actual situation of patients to achieve the best surgical results.

The activation proteins released by fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment regulate tumor growth, migration, and treatment response, thereby influencing tumor progression and therapeutic outcomes. Owing to the proliferation and metastasis of tumors, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is typically highly expressed in the tumor stroma, whereas it is nearly absent in adult normal tissues and benign lesions, making it an attractive target for precision medicine. Radiolabeled agents targeting FAP have the potential for targeted cancer diagnosis and therapy. This comprehensive review aims to describe the evolution of FAPI-based radiopharmaceuticals and their structural optimization. Within its scope, this review summarizes the advances in the use of radiolabeled small molecule inhibitors for tumor imaging and therapy as well as the modification strategies for FAPIs, combined with insights from structure-activity relationships and clinical studies, providing a valuable perspective for radiopharmaceutical clinical development and application.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) versus epirubicin for intravesical perfusion after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) in patients with intermediate- to high-risk non-muscle- invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). METHODS From the perspective of China’s health system, a Markov cohort model was constructed based on the ChiCTR-IIR-16008357 study. Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were used as the health outcome measure, with the willingness-to-pay(WTP) threshold set at one time the per capita gross domestic product of China in 2023 (89 358 yuan/QALY). A cost-utility analysis was used to compare the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the BCG regimen relative to the epirubicin regimen for intravesical perfusion after TUR-BT in patients with intermediate- to high-risk NMIBC in China. In addition, sensitivity analysis was performed. RESULTS The incremental cost of the BCG regimen compared to the epirubicin regimen was 34 309.51 yuan, with an incremental utility of 0.800 QALYs, resulting in an ICER of 42 871.33 yuan/QALY, which is below the WTP threshold. When the WTP threshold was 89 358 yuan/QALY, the probability that the BCG regimen would be acceptable was 77.70% in the probabilistic sensitivity analysis, higher than that of the epirubicin regimen, and the acceptability of the BCG regimen increased with increasing in the WTP threshold. CONCLUSIONS When the WTP threshold was set at one time the per capita gross domestic product of China in 2023, compared to epirubicin, BCG used for intravesical perfusion after TUR-BT in patients with intermediate- to high-risk NMIBC demonstrated better cost-effectiveness.

AIM:To investigate the impact of aquaporin 4(AQP4)expression inhibition on autophagy and apoptosis in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury,and to elucidate its underlying mechanism.METHODS:Cerebral I/R injury was induced in mice via transient middle cerebral artery occlusion(tMCAO).Totally 60 mice were randomly divided into sham group,I/R group,AQP4 inhibition group,and 3-methyladenine(3-MA)group,with 15 mice in each group.Among them,the mice in sham and I/R groups received intraperitoneal injections of normal saline,while those in AQP4 inhibition group and 3-MA group received intraperitoneal injections of AER-271(2 mg·kg-1·d-1)and AER-271+3-MA(2 mg·kg-1·d-1)for 3 d,respectively,once per day.Longa score was adopted to assess the neu-rological function,and to record changes in body weight.Cerebral infarction volume and histopathological alterations were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin staining.Western blot analysis was performed to determine the levels of AQP4,LC3-Ⅱ,P62 and cleaved caspase-3,while the LC3-Ⅱ,P62,cleaved caspase-3 and NeuN(neuronal marker)colocalization and expression assessment were conducted with immunofluorescence.RESULTS:The mice in I/R and AQP4 inhibition groups exhibited extensive cerebral infarction,cerebral edema,and elevated Longa scores.However,in comparision to I/R group,the mice in AQP4 inhibition group showed significantly reduced cerebral infarct volume,cerebral edema vol-ume,and Longa score(P<0.05).Additionally,in contrast to sham group,the mice in I/R group displayed increased ex-pression of AQP4,LC3-Ⅱ and cleaved caspase-3(P<0.01),accompanied by decreased body weight and P62 expression(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Furthermore,compared with I/R group,the mice in both AQP4 inhibition group and 3-MA group demonstrated a decrease in the expression levels of AQP4,LC3-Ⅱ and cleaved caspase-3(P<0.05 or P<0.01),along with increased body weight and P62 expression(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Nonetheless,no significant differences were ob-served between AQP4 inhibition group and 3-MA group regarding Longa score,cerebral infarct volume,body weight,and the expression of AQP4,LC3-Ⅱ,cleaved caspase-3 and P62.CONCLUSION:Inhibition of AQP4 expression signifi-cantly reduces cerebral infarction area and nerve injury severity in tMCAO mice.Moreover,AQP4 expression inhibition decelerates autophagy and apoptosis after cerebral infarction,with the additional autophagy inhibitor showing no notable impact on the protective effect of AQP4 inhibition.
