Osteoporosis （OP） is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by bone microstructure degeneration and bone mass loss， which has a high prevalence and disability rate. Effective prevention and treatment of OP is a major difficulty in the medical community. The nature of OP is that multiple pathological factors lead to the imbalance of human bone homeostasis maintained by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic cell death pathway， and its fundamental cause is cell damage caused by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Studies have shown that ferroptosis is involved in and affects the occurrence and development of OP， which leads to OP by mediating the imbalance of bone homeostasis. Ferroptosis is an adjustable form of programmed cell death. The intervention of ferroptosis can regulate the damage degree and death process of osteoblasts and osteoclasts， which is beneficial to maintain bone homeostasis， slow down the development process of OP， improve the clinical symptoms of patients， reduce the risk of disability， and improve their quality of life. However， there are few studies on ferroptosis in OP. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is a medical treasure with unique characteristics and great application value in China. It has been widely used in China and has a long history. It has the multi-target and multi-pathway advantages in the treatment of OP， with high safety， few toxic and side effects， and low treatment cost， and has a significant effect in clinical application. The intervention of TCM in ferroptosis to regulate bone homeostasis may be a new direction for the prevention and treatment of OP in the future. This article summarized the regulatory mechanisms related to ferroptosis， discussed the role of ferroptosis in bone homeostasis， and reviewed the current status and progress of active ingredients in TCM compounds and monomers in the regulation of OP through ferroptosis， so as to provide a theoretical basis for the participation of TCM in the prevention and treatment of OP in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oliceridine for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients.Methods:The patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale ≥4) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia from 14 hospitals between July 6, 2021 and November 9, 2021 were included in this study. The patients were assigned to either experiment group or control group using a random number table method. Experiment group received oliceridine, while control group received morphine, and both groups were treated with a loading dose plus patient-controlled analgesia and supplemental doses for 24 h. The primary efficacy endpoint was the drug response rate within 24 h after giving the loading dose. Secondary efficacy endpoints included early (within 1 h after giving the loading dose) drug response rates and use of rescue medication. Safety endpoints encompassed the development of respiratory depression and other adverse reactions during treatment.Results:After randomization, both the full analysis set and safety analysis set comprised 180 cases, with 92 in experiment group and 88 in control group. The per-protocol set included 170 cases, with 86 in experiment group and 84 in control group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in 24-h drug response rates, rescue analgesia rates, respiratory depression, and incidence of other adverse reactions ( P>0.05). The analysis of full analysis set showed that the experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-30 min after giving the loading dose compared to control group ( P<0.05). The per-protocol set analysis indicated that experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-15 min after giving the loading dose than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:When used for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients, oliceridine provides comparable analgesic efficacy to morphine, with a faster onset.

Objective:To compare the feasibility and safety of a new portable endoscopic system and the conventional endoscopic system for the detection and emergency treatment of abdominal trauma in animal models.Methods:Three healthy Bama pigs, which were fasted and water deprivation for 8 h before surgery and then underwent induction anesthesia. A layer-by-layer incision was made into the abdominal cavity of Bama pigs. An artificial pneumoperitoneum was established using a laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum machine. A bullet model was inserted into the abdominal cavity to build the bullet wound model. After the bullet model was removed, a shrapnel model was inserted into the mid-abdomen to build the shrapnel wound model. The two types of endoscopic system were used to detect, remove bullet model or shrapnel model of the three Bama pigs respectively. The procedure order of the two systems was assigned according to the random number table method. The surgical success, operation time, endoscopy pipeline patency, endoscopic operation satisfaction, adverse events and equipment defects were recorded.Results:Three surgeries were performed using the new portable endoscopic system and three other surgeries using the conventional endoscopic system, all of which were successful. The time of the new portable endoscopic system to find and remove the bullet model, and the shrapnel model were 232.33±11.68 s, 300.33±57.70 s, 170.00±44.44 s and 52.67±2.52 s, respectively. The corresponding time of the conventional endoscopic system were 232.67±21.20 s ( t=-0.054, P=0.962), 256.67±67.00 s ( t=0.880, P=0.472), 176.00±52.42 s ( t=-0.111, P=0.922), 58.67±14.84 s ( t=-0.832, P=0.493), respectively. There was no significant difference between the two systems ( P>0.05). The endoscopy tubes of the two endoscopic systems were both smooth. The operator was satisfied with the endoscopic procedures of both endoscopic systems, and no adverse event or device defect occurred. Conclusion:The portable endoscopic system proves to be safe and feasible for the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal trauma in animal models.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To preliminarily analyze the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 84 patients with ICC who underwent surgical resection from September 2010 to March 2023,including 45 cases in the laparoscopic surgery group and 39 in the open surgery group.By using propensity score matching,34 matched pairs were successfully identified.The study compared intraoperative blood loss,proportion of achieving≥6 lymph nodes dissection,R0 resection rate,complication,postoperative hospital stay,survival,and recurrence between the two groups.Results In the laparoscopic group,intraoperative blood loss was significantly less than that in the open surgery group(median:250 ml vs.750 ml,Z=-3.406,P=0.001).The proportion of achieving≥6 lymph node dissection in the former was lower than that in the latter,but the difference was not statistically significant(5.9%vs.17.6%,χ2=1.275,P=0.259).There was no statistical difference in R0 resection rate between the laparoscopic group and the open surgery group[88.2%(30/34)vs.82.4%(28/34),χ2=0.469,P=0.493].The complication rate in the laparoscopic group was 17.6%(6/34),significantly lower than 47.1%(16/34)in the open surgery group(χ2=6.719,P=0.010);however,the rate of severe complication was the same in both groups at 2.9%(χ2=0.000,P=1.000).Laparoscopic surgery significantly shortened the postoperative hospital stay(median:7 d vs.10 d,Z=-3.021,P=0.003).The median overall survival in the laparoscopic group was 60.6 months,significantly longer than 15.9 months in the open surgery group(log-rank χ2=5.788,P=0.016).The median recurrence-free survival was 26.4 months in the laparoscopic group,significantly longer than 7.6 months in the open surgery group(log-rank χ2=4.532,P=0.033).Conclusions Compared to open surgery,laparoscopic surgery for ICC offers advantages such as less blood loss,lower complication rate,shorter postoperative hospital stay and longer survival.It achieves comparable R0 resection rate and adequate lymph node dissection.

Objective:To explore the expression of PD-L1 and B7-H3 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and their relationship with the prognosis after surgery.Methods:Clinicopathological data of 63 ICC patients undergoing surgery at the Department of General Surgery, Peking University Third Hospital, from Sep 2016 to Mar 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:PD-L1 and B7-H3 are highly expressed in 41.3% and 60.3% of ICC patients, respectively, and their expression levels were positively correlated with each other( P=0.005). High PD-L1 expression is significantly associated with poor tumor differentiation ( P=0.014), while high B7-H3 expression is significantly related to lymph node metastasis ( P=0.035). In patients with high co-expression of PD-L1 and B7-H3, the overall survival ( P=0.031) and recurrence-free survival ( P=0.031) were significantly decreased. High co-expression of PD-L1 and B7-H3 is an independent risk factor for recurrence in ICC ( HR=3.998, 95% CI: 1.211-13.198; P=0.023). Conclusions:ICC patients with high expression of both PD-L1 and B7-H3 have a poor prognosis. Using both as the combined biomarker significantly improves the prediction of long-term survival after surgery, compared to using either one alone.

Objective:To investigate the effects of modified endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (mERAT) on the treatment of children with different severities of acute appendicitis.Methods:This study was a case-control study. A total of 586 children with acute appendicitis, who were admitted to the Pediatric Department of Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University between January 2019 and November 2023, were selected as the research subjects. According to the severity of the disease, the patients were divided into simple appendicitis group, suppurative appendicitis group and perforated appendicitis group. The baseline data, hospitalization treatment and costs, outcomes, and recurrence in each group were analyzed, and the difference in the effectiveness of mERAT between the groups were compared by Kruskal-Wallis H test and χ2 test. Results:Among 586 children, there were 338 males and 248 females. The age at onset was 7.0 (4.6, 9.4) years. There were 475 cases of simple appendicitis, 78 cases of suppurative appendicitis, and 33 cases of perforated appendicitis. There were no significant differences in age and gender among the three groups ( F=0.59, χ2=3.31, both P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences in body temperature, white blood cell counts, neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte percentage, nausea or vomiting, right lower abdominal pain, umbilical pain, right lower abdominal tenderness, and right lower abdominal rebound pain ( H=7.56, 161.52, 169.11, and 169.61, χ2=12.05, 13.82, 12.05, 7.74, 20.35, and 94.61, all P<0.05). Also, the treatment time, postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay, and cost showed statistically significant differences ( H=4.70, 33.66, 34.99, 30.37, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the initial treatment success rate (98.1% (466/475) vs. 98.7% (77/78) vs. 90.9% (30/33), P=0.057). During the 30 (23, 36) months of follow-up, the recurrence rate was 7.9% (35/433) in the simple appendicitis group, 20.8% (15/72) in the suppurative appendicitis group, and 30.0% (9/30) in the perforated appendicitis group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=23.56, P<0.001). Among the children with recurrent appendicitis, 15 cases still chose mERAT, of them 11 cases (31.2%) had simple appendicitis, 2 cases (2/15) had suppurative appendicitis, and 2 cases (2/9) had perforated appendicitis.The latest time to recurrence in the 3 groups was 32, 35 and 10 months, respectively. Conclusion:Treatment with mERAT has a good effect in pediatric simple appendicitis, but has a higher recurrence rate despite a better initial treatment success rate in suppurative appendicitis and perforated appendicitis.

Objective:To explore the correlation between functional constipation （FC）and its related factors with acute appendicitis（AA）in children，so as to provide a reference for the prevention and clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with AA. Methods:A case-control study was conducted on 170 children diagnosed with AA in the Department of Pediatrics，the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University，from August 2022 to March 2023，and 170 non-AA children during the same period were selected as control objects.The clinical data，incidence of FC，symptoms related to FC，Bristol stool classification，past constipation history and other information were compared between two groups.Results:The incidence of FC in 170 children with AA was 22.9%（39/170），which was significantly higher than 10.6%（18/170）in the non-AA group（ P<0.01）；For children under four years old，the proportion of faecal retention in AA group was higher than that in non-AA group（25.6% vs. 9.3%, P<0.05）；For children ≥ 4 years old，the proportion of faecal retention and dyschezia in AA group were higher than those in non-AA group（28.2% vs. 6.9%，29.0% vs. 16.4%，respectively,all P<0.05）.The proportion of past constipation history in AA group was higher than that in non-AA group（29.4% vs.14.1%）.The duration of constipation in AA group was longer than that in non-AA group [0.00（0.00，1.25）month vs. 0.00（0.00，0.00）month,all P<0.01].The proportion of children with low Bristol stool classification in AA group was higher than that in non-AA group（ P<0.01）.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that faecal retention[ OR=6.186（95% CI 2.336~16.380）] and long constipation time [ OR=1.310（95% CI 1.095~1.567）]were independent risk factors for AA in children（all P<0.05）. Conclusion:The incidence of faecal retention in children with AA is higher than that in children without AA，and the median duration of constipation is longer than that in children without AA.Fecal retention and long-term constipation are independent risk factors for AA in children.

Objective To compare the value of two-dimensional high-frequency ultrasound, acoustic pulsed radiant force imaging (ARFI)-acoustic palpation tissue quantification (VTQ) technology, and strain elastography alone and their combination in diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid micronodules. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 99 patients (107 thyroid micro-solid nodules with diameters ≤ 10.0 mm) who were treated at Baoji People's Hospital in Shaanxi Province from June 2021 to June 2023. All patients underwent two-dimensional high-frequency ultrasound, ARFI-VTQ technology, and strain elastography to obtain ultrasound data scores and data. Using biopsy and surgical pathology as the diagnostic "gold standard", the diagnostic efficacy of the three ultrasound methods alone and their combination was compared for thyroid micro-nodules. Results A total of 62 patients (68 nodules) underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), and 37 patients (39 nodules) underwent surgery. Among 107 thyroid micro-nodules, 45 were diagnosed as malignant, and 62 as benign. Significant differences were observed between malignant micro-nodules and benign micro-nodules in terms of internal echo (isoechoic and hyperechoic echo, very hypoechoic and hypoechoic echo), boundary, microcalcification, aspect ratio >1, blood supply, and resistance index (RI) of the artery (P < 0.05). When the critical value of the C-TIRADS score for diagnosing thyroid micro-nodules using two-dimensional high-frequency ultrasound was ≥ 2 points (C-TIRADS 4b), the diagnostic sensitivity was 73.33%, specificity was 79.03%, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.762[95%CI, 0.670 to 0.839]. In ARFI-VTQ technology, the SWV values ranged from 0.52 to 7.55 m/s, with an average of (2.62 ± 0.61) m/s. The mean SWV of malignant micro-nodules was (5.24±2.23) m/s, which was higher than (2.11±0.70) m/s of benign micro-nodules (t=10.258, P < 0.05). When the critical SWV value was 3.19 m/s, the diagnostic sensitivity was 77.78%, specificity was 80.65%, and the AUC (95%CI) was 0.792(95%CI, 0.703 to 0.865). In strain elastography, when the critical score was ≥3, the diagnostic sensitivity was 75.56%, specificity was 77.42%, and the AUC (95%CI) was 0.765 (95%CI, 0.673 to 0.841). Combined detection of the three methods showed that there were 44 positive micro-nodules, 63 negative micro-nodules, the diagnostic sensitivity was 93.33%, specificity was 96.77%, and the AUC (95%CI) was 0.951 (95%CI, 0.891 to 0.983). There was statistical significance in the diagnostic efficacy of combined application compared with that of 2D high-frequency ultrasonography, ARFI-VTQ technology and strain-elasticity imaging alone (Z=4.861, 4.393, 4.842, P < 0.05). Conclusion The combination of two-dimensional high-frequency ultrasound, ARFI-VTQ technology, and strain elastography can improve the diagnostic accuracy of benign and malignant thyroid micro-nodules.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of magnetic foreign body extractor in metal foreign body of upper digestive tract children.Methods:The clinical data of 115 children with metallic foreign bodies in the upper digestive tract who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, from January 2017 to September 2022, were selected as subjects.All the metallic foreign bodies were removed by a self-made metallic foreign body extractor in the department.The clinical characteristics of the metallic foreign bodies in the upper digestive tract were comprehensively analyzed by using descriptive analysis methods, summarize the age, gender, metallic foreign body type, number of the metallic foreign bodies, incarcerated location, retention time, clinical symptoms and complications.Results:A total of 115 children with metallic foreign bodies in the upper digestive tract were included in the analysis, involving 51 males and 64 females, with a mean age of (3.63±2.28) years.The majority was children aged 0-3 years (68/115, 59.1%). Coins (86 cases, 74.8%) were the major foreign bodies in metal foreign body of upper digestive tract, followed by button batteries (11 cases, 9.6%), magnetic balls (8 cases, 7.0%), and others (10 cases, 8.6%). The main clinical symptoms were nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, chest pain, and foreign body sensation, and button battery ingestion and magnetic balls were easy to produce complications.The primary retention sites of metallic foreign bodies were the gastric fundus (75 cases, 65.2%), followed by upper esophageal segment (38 cases, 33.0%) and lower esophageal segment(2 cases, 1.7%).Conclusions:In children′s metal foreign body of upper digestive tract, coins are the most common foreign bodies that are easily retained in the stomach fundus.Button batteries are prone to cause severe complications and should be removed timely.The self-made metallic foreign body extractor in our department can remove coins, batteries, magnetic balls, nails, chains, party emblems and other metallic foreign bodies.It can shorten the operation time, improve the removal efficiency, and featured by active search, strong adsorption, no mucosal damage and removal with the endoscope, which can be widely used in the clinical treatment of metallic foreign bodies.
