OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical efficacy and radiological results of arthroscopic all-inside technique and traditional technique in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.METHODS:Databases such as CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,and Cochrane Library were searched for literature on all-inside technique and traditional technique in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.The search time was from the establishment of each database to September 2024.Meta-analysis was conducted on the included literature.RESULTS:(1)A total of 17 articles were included in the meta-analysis,with 631 patients in the all-inside technique reconstruction group and 626 patients in the traditional technique reconstruction group.The earliest time for the last follow-up was half a year after surgery,and the latest was 5 years after surgery.Most follow-up period was 2 years.(2)Meta-analysis results showed that compared with traditional anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,the all-inside technique had a thicker graft during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction[mean difference(MD)=0.20,95％confidence interval(CI)(0.09,0.31),P=0.000 5],smaller postoperative maximum diameter[standardized mean difference(SMD)=-3.64,95％CI(-6.00,-1.28),P=0.002]and volume[SMD=-3.69,95％CI(-5.37,-2.00),P＜0.000 1]of the tibial tunnel,and higher International Knee Documentation Committee subjective scores[MD=2.41,95％CI(0.49,4.32),P=0.01]and Lysholm scores[MD=1.11,95％CI(0.42,1.8),P=0.002]2 years after surgery.However,the operation time was relatively longer[MD=10.06,95％CI(4.71,15.4),P=0.000 2],and the knee stability was poorer after 2 years[SMD=0.3,95％CI(0.04,0.55),P=0.02].No significant differences were found between the two groups in the following aspects:the subjective scores of the International Knee Documentation Committee at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively[MD=-0.05,95％CI(-1.96,1.83),P=0.96;MD=0.51,95％CI(-1.17,2.19),P=0.55];the difference in anterior laxity of bilateral knees at 1 year postoperatively[SMD=-0.02,95％CI(-0.3,0.27),P=0.9];the Lysholm score at 6 months postoperatively[MD=0.87,95％CI(-0.15,1.89),P=0.09];the objective score of the International Knee Documentation Committee at the last follow-up[RR=0.95,95％CI(0.86,1.06),P=0.37];the American Knee Society Score at the last follow-up[MD=0.33,95％CI(-0.55,1.21),P=0.47];the Tegner score at the last follow-up[MD=0.05,95％CI(-0.11,0.22),P=0.53];the negative rate of the pivot shift test at the last follow-up[RR=0.92,95％CI(0.83,1.01),P=0.09];the postoperative revision rate at the last follow-up[RR=2.2,95％CI(0.98,4.92),P=0.05];and the result of the single-leg hop test at the last follow-up[MD=-0.06,95％CI(-4.99,4.86),P=0.98].CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences in most functional outcome scores and the position of the tibial tunnel between the all-inside technique and the traditional technique after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.The all-inside technique was more favorable in terms of subjective International Knee Documentation Committee scores and Lysholm scores at 2 years postoperatively.Meanwhile,the knee joint was more stable 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the traditional technique.In addition,it was found that the graft was thicker during the all-inside technique,while the diameter and volume of the tibial tunnel were smaller postoperatively,with more bone tissue preserved.Nevertheless,the operation time of the all-inside technique was longer.

OBJECTIVE:This paper collects relevant literature on blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training,and analyzes the different effects of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training on athletes'muscle-related indexes and specialized abilities in accordance with the paradigm of systematic evaluation and Meta-analysis,aiming to provide data support for athletes to utilize blood flow restriction training in their training practices. METHODS:Chinese and foreign databases(CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,Web of Science,SPORTDiscus)were searched to collect randomized controlled trials on the effects of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training on limb circumference,muscle mass,muscle strength,and specialized ability of college athletes from January 1st,2000 to October 12th,2023.At least two researchers evaluated the quality of the included literature using the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias assessment tools and criteria.Heterogeneity tests,data merging,subgroup analyses,forest plotting,and sensitivity analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4,and funnel plots with publication bias evaluation and sensitivity analyses were performed.The evaluation indexes were limb circumference,muscle thickness,muscle strength and specialized ability,and subgroup analyses were performed for different specialized athletic abilities. RESULTS:(1)A total of 18 randomized controlled trials with 403 subjects were included,and according to the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias assessment tool,the quality of literature in the included literature was grade A in 16 articles and grade B in 2 articles.(2)Comparing the effects of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training and resistance training,there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of limb circumference[standardized mean difference(SMD)=0.03,95%confidence interval:-0.16-0.21,P=0.78],and a significant difference between the two groups in terms of muscle thickness(SMD=0.14,95%CI:0.01-0.27,P=0.03)and muscle strength(SMD=0.37,95%CI:0.14-0.60,P=0.001).(3)Subgroup analyses of the indicators of specialized capacity indicated that there was high heterogeneity in the analyzed results of distance metrics(I2=73%)and time metrics(I2=55%),which was analyzed as a possible reason due to the differences in testing methods and assessment of metrics'significance in the studies;there was no heterogeneity(I2=0%)in the analyzed results of power metrics;blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training had a significant effect on distance metrics(P<0.01).(4)The results of the combined effect showed the effect of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training vs.resistance training for specialized ability(P=0.41),suggesting that there is no significant effect of different training methods on specialized ability. CONCLUSION:Both blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training and resistance training can promote muscle thickness,muscle strength and specialized ability in college athletes.Meanwhile,blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training has a more significant effect on muscle thickness,muscle strength and some specialized abilities compared with resistance training.Therefore,blood flow restriction training can be scientifically and rationally integrated into specialized training,so as to achieve a better training effect by integrating the differentiated physiological stimuli to the muscles.However,due to the small number of included studies and other possible limitations,more high-quality,multi-sport type and sex randomized trials need to be included in the future to confirm this.

Objective:To explore the value of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging for diagnosing and evaluating the pathological differentiation of cervix squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).Methods:This study was a diagnostic trial. Totally 56 patients pathologically diagnosed with CSCC at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from October 2021 to October 2022 were retrospectively collected, as the CSCC group. And 36 female healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from October 2021 to October 2023 were recruited as the control group. CSCC patients were divided into well-moderately differentiated ( n=34) and poorly differentiated groups ( n=22). The region of interest was placed in the lesions of CSCC group and normal cervical stroma of control group, and the quantitative parameters for asymmetric magnetization transfer ratio (MTR asym) of APTw imaging and pure diffusion coefficient (D), false diffusion coefficient (D *) and perfusion fraction (f) for IVIM were obtained. The independent sample t test was used to compare the differences in quantitative parameters between the two groups, the logistic regression model was used to establish combined parameters for the quantitative parameters with statistical significance between the two groups. The receiver operator characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of single quantitative parameters and combined parameters to distinguish the CSCC group from the control group, and the well-moderately differentiated group from the poorly differentiated group in CSCC patients. The area under the curve (AUC) was compared using the DeLong test. Results:There were significant differences in MTR asym, D and f between CSCC group and control group ( t=-9.79, 10.09, 11.35, P<0.001). Also, significant differences were found for MTR asym and D between the well-moderately differentiated and poorly differentiated group ( t=4.11, -3.76, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in other quantitative parameters ( P>0.05). When comparing the CSCC group and control group, the AUC (95% CI) of MTR asym, D, f and combined parameter (MTR asym+D+f) were 0.887 (0.804-0.944), 0.940 (0.871-0.979), 0.968 (0.909-0.993), 0.995 (0.950-1.000). The AUC of the combined parameter was higher than those of MTR asym and D, with statistical significance ( Z=3.07, 2.06, P=0.002, 0.040). When comparing the well-moderately differentiated and poorly differentiated group, the AUC (95% CI) of MTR asym, D, and combined parameter (MTR asym+D) were 0.789 (0.660-0.887), 0.775 (0.644-0.876), 0.852 (0.731-0.932). There was no significant difference between each two AUCs ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The quantitative parameters of APTw and IVIM imaging can be used to diagnose and preliminarily evaluate the pathological differentiation of CSCC. Joint parameters can improve the diagnostic efficiency of CSCC.

Objective:To analyze the current adoption of palliative care by patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in China.Methods:From 1 March 2023 to 30 June 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted by random sampling. An exclusive research platform for the Blue Book on Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. An online questionnaire was sent to medical oncologists (including chief physicians, associate chief physicians, attending physicians and residents) in general hospitals and oncology hospitals in four major regions of East, Central, South and Northeast China. The questionnaire contained 28 questions requesting basic information about doctors, the number of patients with mCRC, the status of treatment from first to fourth line and beyond, points concerning treatment of pain in patients with mCRC, and expectations for the future. A medical team was responsible for the quality control of data collected, whereas statisticians performed the data cleaning and sorting and statistical analysis.Results:A total of 300 clinical questionnaires were collected, including 217 (72%) from doctors in general hospitals and 83 (28%) from doctors in oncology hospitals. Senior physicians (including associate chief physicians and chief physicians) accounted for 65% of the respondents, attending physicians 30%, and residents 5%. Within 3 months (average for each month), 46.4±26.6% patients were diagnosed with recurrent or unresectable mCRC by each physician, 51.6±26.8% of the patients being in cancer hospitals and 44.4±26.3% in general hospitals. One hundred percent of patients receiving first-line treatment received palliative care, as did 80.3% of those receiving second-line treatment, 58.2% of those receiving third-line treatment, and 35.1% of those receiving ≥fourth-line treatment. The primary factor governing selection of first-line treatment was guideline recommendations, whereas comorbidities and the patients' physical status dictated second line to fourth line treatment. Standard first-line treatment was administered to 93.8% of eligible patients, standard second-line treatment to 94.3%; and standard third-line treatment to 73.5%. First-line therapy included targeted therapy in 63.6% of patients and immunotherapy in 2.8%; second-line therapy included targeted therapy in 63.0% of patients and immunotherapy in 2.0%; third-line therapy included targeted therapy in 59.2% of patients and immunotherapy in 2.2%; and fourth-line therapy included targeted therapy in 48.7% of patients and immunotherapy in 3.1%. First-line treatment lasted an average of 9.6 months, second-line treatment 6.7 months, third-line treatment 4.9 months, and fourth-line treatment 3.7 months. More than 70% of the patients maintained a good quality of life after receiving first and second-line treatment and more than 60% of them had ECOG performance scores of 0–1. After receiving third- and fourth-line treatment, 50%–60% of patients maintained a good quality of life and 40%–50% of them maintained ECOG performance scores of 0–1. The survey also revealed that the main deficiencies in treatment were limited effectiveness of third-line treatment, insufficient availability and opportunity for clinical research, popularity of new drugs or new drug combination strategies, and limited channels for participation in multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment. Clinicians reported looking forward to participating in more clinical research on new drugs, hearing about the experience of experts in the field, and discovery of new targets and new drugs that increased the options for posterior line treatment of colorectal cancer.Conclusions:This report objectively summarizes the current situation, treatment difficulties, and expectations of frontline physicians concerning management of mCRC, thus providing a basis for decision-making and future direction for the diagnosis and research on treatment of mCRC.

The healing process of skin wounds caused by severe mechanical trauma and chronic diseases(e.g.,diabetic foot ulcers)is often accompanied by tissue injury,microbial infection,intense inflammatory reactions,hypertrophic scars,and other complications.Microneedles have been widely used to facilitate wound healing in recent years.According to their different modes of action,microneedle formulation can be categorized into five types:solid microneedles,hollow microneedles,coated microneedles,soluble microneedles,and hydrogel microneedles.This paper reviews the preparation methods and characteristics of microneedles,and summarizes their roles in hemostasis,bacteriostasis,anti-inflammation,enhancement of collagen deposition,and angiogenesis,in the hope of providing some reference for future research and development.

Objective To observe the effects of methylenedioxygenase(TET2)expression on the proliferation ability,apoptosis rate,cell cycle,migration,and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer cells.Methods Detect the expression of TET2 gene and protein in different non-small cell lung cancer cells through RT-PCR and Western blot.Knock down the gene expression of the highest TET2 expressing cells(shRNA1)and overexpress the gene in the most low TET2 expressing cells(OE-TET2).Detect the effect of TET2 expression on cell proliferation through CCK-8,observe the effect of TET2 expression on cell apoptosis and cell cycle through flow cytometry,and observe the effect of TET2 expression on cell migration and invasion ability through migration and invasion experiments.Results The expression levels of TET2 gene and protein in H1299 cells were the highest,while A549 cells had the lowest expression levels(P＜0.05).The proliferation ability of OE-TET2 group cells was significantly lower than that of normal A549,while the proliferation ability of shRNA1 group cells was significantly higher than that of normal H1299 cells(P＜0.05).The apoptosis rate of OE-TET2 group was significantly higher than that of normal A549 cells,while the apoptosis rate of shRNA1 group was significantly lower than that of normal H1299 cells(P＜0.05).The number of migration and invasion cells in the OE-TET2 group was significantly lower than that of normal A549 cells,while the migration and invasion cells in the shRNA1 group were significantly higher than those in normal H1299 cells(P＜0.05).Conclusion TET2 can reduce the proliferation ability,increase its apoptosis rate,and slow down its migration and invasion ability of non-small cell lung cancer cells.

The spectrum of biopsy-confirmed kidney disease varies with regions and periods. We describe the distribution of pathological types and epidemiological characteristics of kidney diseases in Northwest China due to regional differences in geographical environment, social economy, and dietary habits. Methods: Kidney biopsy cases from 2005 to 2020 in Xijing Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Pathological characteristics of patients in different periods were analyzed using the t test or chi-square test. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze trends in pathological types and disease spectrum. Results: A total of 10,528 eligible patients were included. Primary glomerular disease (PGD) accounted for the majority of the cases and exhibited an obvious downward trend, whereas secondary glomerular disease (SGD) showed an obvious upward trend. Among PGD, immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) remained the most common pathological type, and the detection rate of membranous nephropathy (MN) was significantly increased. Among SGD, Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) was the most common pathological type and may present a significant characteristic of Northwest China. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) exhibited the most obvious upward trend in the whole process, whereas the fastest growth since 2012 was in hypertensive nephropathy. Conclusion: The proportion of SGD increased whereas PGD declined. IgAN remained the most common PGD, and HSPN was the most common SGD. MN and DN showed the most obvious upward trend among PGD and SGD, respectively. Changes in the spectrum of kidney disease, especially the constituent ratio of SGD, pose a great challenge to public health.

Background: The purpose of this research was to assess the role of heparanase (HPSE)/syndecan1 (SDC1)erve growth factor (NGF) on cancer pain from melanoma. Methods: The influence of HPSE on the biological function of melanoma cells and cancer pain in a mouse model was evaluated. Immunohistochemical staining was used to analyze HPSE and SDC1. HPSE, NGF, and SDC1 were detected using western blot. Inflammatory factors were detected using ELISA assay. Results: HPSE promoted melanoma cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor growth, as well as cancer pain, while SST0001 treatment reversed the promoting effect of HPSE. HPSE up-regulated NGF, and NGF feedback promoted HPSE. High expression of NGF reversed the inhibitory effect of HPSE down-regulation on melanoma cell phenotype deterioration, including cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion. SST0001 down-regulated SDC1 expression. SDC1 reversed the inhibitory effect of SST0001 on cancer pain. Conclusions The results showed that HPSE promoted melanoma development and cancer pain by interacting with NGF/SDC1. It provides new insights to better understand the role of HPSE in melanoma and also provides a new direction for cancer pain treatment.
