Objective:To investigate the application and clinical efficacy of customized, 3D-printed femoral bone marrow stems in the revision of tumor prostheses.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the data of 11 patients (7 males and 4 females) aged 53.1±11.7 years (range, 38-75 years), who underwent 3D-printed customized revision of femoral intramedullary stems due to loosening of femoral tumor prostheses at the 960th Hospital of the Joint Support Force of the PLA from June 2021 to June 2023. The pathological types of tumors associated with the initial surgeries included 4 cases of giant cell tumor of bone, 5 cases of osteosarcoma, 1 case of chondrosarcoma, and 1 case of plasma cell tumor. The tumor was located at the distal femur in 8 cases and the proximal femur in 3 cases. The procedures included 3 initial revisions, 7 secondary revisions, and 1 tertiary revision. The average limb shortening measured 4.6±2.2 cm (range, 2.5-9.0 cm). Prior to revision, all prostheses were fixed with bone cement, revealing enlargement of the femoral medullary cavity and cortical bone thinning. Among them, 5 cases had intramedullary stems permeabilizing the femoral cortex, and 1 case had femoral cleavage fractures. All 11 patients received personalized data for the design and 3D printing of femoral bone marrow stems.Results:The lengths and diameters of the 3D-printed porous femoral bone marrow stems ranged from 80 to 160 mm and 20 to 22 mm, respectively. Ten patients were fitted with cylindrical intramedullary handles, while one received a conical intramedullary handle. A successful revision with the 3D-printed stems was achieved in 10 patients; however, 1 case failed to accommodate the conical handle and was instead revised with a bone cement prosthesis. During the implantation of the intramedullary stems, three patients experienced minor cortical splitting, which was managed with bundling and fixation during the procedure. Immediate stability was attained for all prostheses during surgery, yet postoperative limb shortening did not undergo significant correction. All patients exhibited normal healing of their postoperative incisions. The visual analog scale for limb pain decreased significantly from 8.0±0.8 points before surgery to 1.0±0.4 points three months postoperatively ( t=25.957, P<0.001). By six months after the surgery, none of the patients reported any limb pain. Follow-up data for all 11 patients indicated an average follow-up duration of 25.2±7.5 months (range, 16-36 months), during which limb function improved satisfactorily. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score increased from 7.9±1.4 points preoperatively to 20.9±2.7 points at the last follow-up, with this change also being statistically significant ( t=14.229, P<0.001). Imaging evaluations revealed normal lower limb force lines, no rotation or longitudinal displacement of the prosthetic stem, and successful integration with the femur. Conclusion:Personalized intramedullary stems produced through 3D printing demonstrate significant clinical effectiveness in femoral tumor prosthesis revision surgery, making them a viable option for such procedures.

McCune-Albright syndrome(MAS) is a postzygotic somatic mutation disorder caused by activating mutations in the GNAS gene, which encodes the α subunit of the stimulatory G protein. Its clinical features typically include polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, cafe-au-lait skin pigmentation, and endocrine hyperactivity, such as Cushing′s syndrome, hyperthyroidism, and growth hormone excess. Here, we report two rare cases of MAS complicated with adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)-independent Cushing syndrome, and provide a review and analysis of previously reported MAS cases associated with Cushing′s syndrome.

Objective:To analyze the effects of the classic skin reset method and the modified skin reset method in correcting epicanthus.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 61 patients who underwent epicanthoplasty at Daqing Oilfield General Hospital from September 2019 to September 2021. Among them, 54 were female and 7 were male, with ages of 18-47 (25.7±4.6) years. The patients were divided into two groups based on different surgical methods: the classic skin repositioning method (control group, 30 cases) and the modified skin repositioning method (experimental group, 31 cases). Postoperative follow-up was conducted for 6 to 24 months. Photos were taken before the operation and during the follow-up period after the operation, and the inter-pupillary distance (IPD) and intercanthal distance (IED) were measured. For patients who underwent double eyelid surgery simultaneously, the proportion of postoperative outward rotation type effect was compared between the two groups. The incidence of adverse reactions such as visible scars, hypertrophic scars, overcorrection, and under-correction after the operation was recorded.Results:The preoperative and postoperative IED/IPD ratios were 0.63±0.02 and 0.56±0.03 in control group, and 0.64±0.02 and 0.56±0.02 in experimental group, respectively. There was no significant difference in IED/IPD ratio between the two groups before and after surgery (all P>0.05). By intra-group comparison, postoperative IED/IPD ratios were lower in both groups than that before surgery. In the experimental group, 83.9% (26/31) of patients underwent double blepharoplasty, which was higher than that in the control group (16.7%, 5/30) ( P<0.001). In the control group, the incidence of adverse reactions was 33.3% (10/30), including 4 cases of mild under-correction and 6 cases of lower eyelid scar. There was no correction deficiency and no visible scar in the experimental group. No overcorrection, hypertrophic scar and other complications were found in both groups. Conclusion:The modified skin replacement method is effective and can prevent the deficiency of epicanthus correction.

OBJECTIVE: To provide the experience and demonstration for the transformation of acupuncture-moxibustion techniques standards from Chinese national standards to international standards. METHODS: Questionnaire research, literature research, semi-structured interviews and expert consultation were used. RESULTS: The safety of acupuncture-moxibustion techniques was evaluated through literature research, and based on the results of the questionnaire survey, expert interviews, and expert consultation, 11 main bodies and structure of the former Chinese national standard, Technical Benchmark of Acupuncture and Moxibustion: General Rules for Drafting, were adjusted and optimized in accordance with the requirements of international standard (including the language, normative references, purpose, scope, applicable environment, target population, work team, terms and definitions, general principles and basic requirements, structural elements and text structure, and compilation process); and the first international standard, World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societis (WFAS) Technical Benchmark of Acupuncture and Moxibustion: General Rules for Drafting was formulated to specify the general rules for drafting. CONCLUSION The 3 key questions, "international compatibility", "technical operability" and "safety" should be solved technically on the basis of explicit international requirements.

This study constructed a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)NADC30-like strain GP3 recombinant adenovirus vector vaccine through in vitro homologous re-combination to explore its immunological efficacy evaluation at the mouse level.Using type 5 ade-novirus as a vector,a recombinant adenovirus expressing PRRSV GP3 protein was prepared and i-dentified in vitro by fluorescence observation,PCR,and Western blot analysis.Immunize mice with recombinant adenovirus and detect humoral and cellular immune responses induced by recombi-nant adenovirus using indirect ELISA and ELISpot methods.The recombinant adenovirus rAdGP3 was identified by enzyme digestion,PCR,fluorescence and Western blot,indicating that the recom-binant adenovirus rAdGP3 was successfully constructed and packaged.After immunizing mice,spe-cific antibodies and neutralizing antibodies were produced,indicating that the recombinant adenovi-rus could elicit strong humoral immunity.ELISpot and lymphocyte proliferation assays showed that the recombinant adenovirus vaccine could stimulate the secretion of IFN-γ-specific T lymphocytes and induce the proliferation of lymphocytes,indicating that the recombinant adenovi-rus could enhance the level of cellular immune response.In this study,rAdGP3 recombinant adeno-virus was successfully constructed and had good immunogenicity at the mouse level,which provid-ed a reference for the development of novel PRRSV vaccines.
