Lateral epicondylitis is a common clinical disease with characteristics of lateral elbow pain, insidious onset and easy recurrence, which can cause forearm pain and decreased wrist strength, seriously affecting patients′ daily life and work. Although there are various treatment methods for lateral epicondylitis with different effects, standard treatments are still lacking nowadays. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has good effects on bone and tendon repair, and is now widely used in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. However, there is a lack of a unified understanding of the technology and specifications of PRP in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. Therefore, the Sports Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Branch of the Chinese Medical Association organized experts in the fields of sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine in China to formulate the "clinical expert consensus on platelet-rich plasma treatment for lateral epicondylitis (2022 version)", and proposed suggestions based on evidence-based medicine mainly from the concept, epidemiology and pathophysiology of lateral epicondylitis, symptoms, signs and imaging manifestations of lateral epicondylitis, PRP concept and application component requirements, quality control of PRP preparation technology, indications and contraindications of PRP in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, PRP injection in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, application of PRP in the operation of lateral epicondylitis, related problems after PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, evaluation of the results after PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, and health and economic evaluation of PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, so as to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the differential expression of miRNAs during white adipose tissue(WAT)browning in mice under different stimulation conditions, and to analyze the potential regulatory mechanisms.Methods:Mouse models of subcutaneous WAT(sWAT)browning were established by different methods: cold-induced browning and intraperitoneal injection of CL316-243.HE staining and analysis of thermogenesis-related gene expression were used to validate the browning models.miRNAs expression profiles in different conditions were described by RNA-sequencing(RNA-seq)and miRNAs with similar expression patterns in the two groups were detected via screening.Target genes of miRNAs were predicted by bioinformatics, and their expression levels were verified by quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR).Results:Both cold-induced browning and intraperitoneal injection of CL316-243 were able to activate the browning of sWAT, and the miRNA expression profile of sWAT showed significant differences before and after induction.After screening differentially expressed miRNAs, the expression of Mir-30E-3p was increased and the expression of Mir-181A-5p was decreased under different browning-inducing conditions in WAT.The prediction and validation of target genes revealed that cyclin-dependent kinase 6(Cdk6)and sirtuin 1(Sirt1)were potential targets regulated by miR-30e-3p and miR-181a-5p in the browning of sWAT, respectively.Conclusions:There are significant differences in miRNA expression during the browning of sWAT in mice induced by cold stimulation and CL316-243 injection.MiR-30e-3p and miR-181a-5p may be involved in the regulation of the sWAT browning process through target genes Cdk6 and Sirt1, respectively.

Objective:To seek a minimally invasive method for costal cartilage harvest by using two different costal cartilage harvest techniques in rhinoplasty and to compare their influence on donor site pain.Methods:Fourty-three female patients who underwent costal cartilage harvest for rhinoplasty from Dec. 2016 to Dec. 2017 were randomly divided into two groups. We harvested the right side seventh costal cartilage in both groups. In control group, we harvested a full thickness segment of costal cartilage in each patient, whereas we harvested a split thickness segment of costal cartilage by preserving the superior strip in experimental group. Donor site pain was evaluated via visual analogue scale (VAS) 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after surgery.Results:The VAS scores (mean±standard deviation) at different time points in the control group were (5.515±1.085), (5.250±1.302), (5.315±1.117) and (4.895±1.042). And in the experimental group, they were (2.665±0.713), (2.261±0.642), (1.609±0.398) and (1.383±0.514), respectively. The VAS scores at different time points were significantly higher in the control group than that in the experimental group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The superior strip preserved costal cartilage harvest technique significantly reduces postoperative donor site pain.

The infectious disease outpatient service as a frontier is an important fulcrum of public health service. Its standardized construction is an important support for ensuring medical safety, reducing nosocomial infections, and controlling the epidemic of infectious diseases. The sub-specialty outpatient service of infection diseases includes fever outpatient service, intestinal outpatient service, tuberculosis outpatient service, AIDS outpatient service, liver disease outpatient service, etc. According to the characteristics of each subspecialty outpatient service and combining with clinical practice, we elaborated the setting norms of subspecialty outpatient service for common infectious diseases from the perspective of planning and design, building layout, equipment and facilities configuration, staffing, daily management and demonstration.

Objective: To investigate potential biomarkers for different types of hand, foot and mouth disease(HFMD). Methods: Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)-based metabolomics methods were used to analyze the metabolic differences in serum of HFMD and healthy controls.Partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA)and orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)were used for analysis of metabolite profiles.Differential statistical analysis was performed by t tests using GraphPad Prism 5 software. Results: The levels of lipid, leucine, valine, β-hydroxybutyric acid, acetone, glucose, glycoprotein, glycerol, glycine, choline, trimethylamine oxide and lactate in HFMD increased significantly compared with healthy controls, whereas the levels of acetic acid and creatine decreased significantly.Additionally, the level of acetone further increased in the severe type of HFMD compared with the mild type, whereas the levels of lipid and trimethylamine oxide decreased. Conclusion These statistically significant differences are involved in lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism and protein metabolism in different types of HFMD.Lipid, acetone and trimethylamine oxide can be used as potential biomarkers of HFMD.

Objective: To explore the role of β-catenin in distraction osteogenesis of new bone formation, the expression of β-catenin in the distraction gap callus was detected during rabbit mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Methods: 26 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. Group A is a normal control group with 2 rabbits, group B is the mandibular defect control group, and group C is the distraction group. Group B and C with 12 rabbits, respectively. The two rabbits in group A without surgery, their mandibles are normal control. In group B, vertical osteotomy was performed between the first molar and the mental foramen on the mandibles bilaterally, followed by rigid internal fixation with titanium plates and screw with 5 mm gap immediately. In group C, after the same osteotomy was performed, the fragments of mandibles were reduced and fixed with mandibular distractors bilaterally. On the fourth day postoperatively, the distraction started at a rate of 0.8 mm/d and lasted for 7 days, followed by consolidation period. Two rabbits of group B and C were sacrificed at 6th, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st, 38th day postoperatively, respectively. The newly formed callus in the distraction gap of mandibles was harvested for Western blotting and immunohistochemistry examination to detect the distribution and expression of β-catenin. The experimental data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 statistical software using Spearman function. Results: The result of Western blotting showed that the expression of β-catenin gradually increased at distraction period(6-10 days after surgery) and reached the peak at the end of the distraction period(10th day postoperatively), it gradually decreased during the consolidation period. However, the expression of β-catenin in group C was higher than that of group B. Immunohistochemistry stain showed that the expression of β-catenin mainly located in inflammatory cells(eg. monocyte), fibroblast of the granulation tissue, the osteoblasts, osteocyte on the surface of new formed trabecular, and the connective tissues surrounding the new bone in the new formed callus. Cytoplasmic and nuclear staining were positive. In group C, the expression of β-catenin was strong (3.245 8±0.132 3) after distraction (6th day postoperatively), and reached a peak (4.602 8±0.021 9) on the 10th day postoperatively. With the disappearance of the distraction stress, the expression of β-catenin gradually decreased since17th day postoperatively(3.639 8±0.125 5), but the staining was still positive. In group B, the strong positive staining of β-catenin on the 6th day after surgery (2.734 0±0.134 7), the strongest staining on the 10th day after surgery (3.101 3±0.104 8), and the expression of β-catenin on the 17th day after surgery (2.542 8±0.211 1) was weaker than that on the 10th day after surgery. At each time point, the expression of β-catenin in group C was significantly higher than that in group B, and the difference was statistically significant (r=0.943, P=0.005 6). Conclusions During mandibular distraction osteogenesis, the distraction stress activates the Wnt signal pathway to enhance the expression of β-catenin, it suggests that β-catenin plays an important role in the transformation of the mechanical signal to chemical signals during the process of distraction osteogenesis, and participates in the regulation of new bone formation during distraction osteogenesis.

Objective To reveal the characteristics of S gene sequence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients with low HBsAg level.Methods From February 2016 to December 2017, 1 308 serum samples of inactive HBsAg carriers were collected from the 903rd Hospital of PLA and Hangzhou Jianggan District People′s Hospital.The cases were divided into high-level group and low-level group according to the level of serum HBsAg (10 IU／mL) expression.The HBV S gene was sequenced in patients with low-level HBsAg expression.In addition, in patients with high-level HBsAg, 100 patients were randomly selected (stratified sampling) for HBV S gene sequencing based on the matching of age and serological pattern (hepatitis B e antigen [HBeAg] negative) of low-level HBsAg group.A comparative analysis was conducted between HBV S gene sequences from inactive HBsAg carrier in low HBsAg expression group and the HBV reference S gene sequences from inactive HBsAg carrier in high HBsAg expression group .The results of normal distribution data were expressed as Mean ±SD, and analyzed using t-test.The results of non-normal distribution data were expressed by M(QR), and analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test.Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare continuous variables and classification variables between the two groups .Results There were 276 serum samples from the low level group and 1 032 serum samples from the high level group , including 257 HBsAg／HBeAg／anti-HBc-positive cases, 753 HBsAg／anti-HBe／anti-HBc-positive cases, and 22 HBsAg／anti-HBc-positive cases.Successful HBV S gene sequencing was performed on 126 out of 276 patients in the low-level HBsAg group.According to the age inthe low-level HBsAg group, 100 samples with negative HBeAg in the high-level HBsAg group were randomly selected , among which 94 patients were genotyped and hemotyped.The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in HBV serological markers , HBV DNA level and HBV genotype distribution between the high level group (94 cases) and the low level group (126 cases) (all P＜0.05).The ASC-R-B and ASC-R-C genotypes reported in this study had high homology (99.6%-100.0%) with those reported in Shanghai , Chengdu, Wuhan, Yunnan and Beijing of China , and high homology (98.2%-99.6%) with those reported in Japan and Korea of NCBI genotype B and C reference sequences, but had low homology with patients far away from China (98.2% in Canada and 98.7% in Indonesia).In genotype B of the low level group , the amino acid mutation number of SHB protein was 71, and the hot spot mutation number was 19, both higher than those in the high level group (39 and 8, respectively). The difference was statistically significant (χ2 ＝12.303 and 4.766, respectively, both P＜0.05).Amino acid mutation sites in the low HBsAg group were mainly distributed on both sides of the major hydrophilic region (MHR) (amino acid residues 40 -49 and 198 -220).There were no significant differences in amino acid mutation number and hot spot mutation number between the two groups of C genotype (χ2 ＝0.383 and 0.409, respectively, both P＞0.05).For genotype B, 12 single point mutations and 4 dual co-mutations were found in low level group.Among them, one single point mutation (S210R) and 3 dual co-mutations (G44E／V+T45P／I, G44E／V+L49P／R and N40S+I208T) were not hot spot mutations , while 2 dual co-mutations and 2 single point mutations were found in high level group.The difference between two groups was statistical significant (χ2 ＝7.533,P ＝0.006).For genotype C, 5 single point mutations ( T5A, A45T, T47A／K, Q101R and I126S／T) were found in low level group and 1 single point mutation (N3S) in high level group.The difference in mutation frequency between two groups were statistical significant (χ2 ＝47.914,P＝0.000).Conclusions Significant mutations in multiple regions and at multiple sites ( including co-mutations) on both sides of the MHR may be one of the causes of low HBsAg expression level in this population .

Objective To investigate the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signal antagonist DKK1 protein in callus of distraction gap during mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO).Methods Twenty four healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into distraction group,fracture control group,with twelve rabbits each,respectively.In distraction group,bilateral mandibular distraction models were established.In control group,after bilateral mandibular osteotomy,the two bone fragments were fixed by titanium plate and screws with a 5 mm gap.The expression of DKK1 in the distracted calluses was analyzed by cell digital imaging software.Results Expression of DKK1 was colocalized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of osteoblasts,fibroblasts,cartilageand newly embedded osteocytes.The expression of DKK1 increased following distraction activated after surgery,peaked at 10 days after surgery,the population of cells that stained for DKK1 decreased gradually.At 31 to 38 days postoperatively,DKK1 expression reduced gradually,mainly located in the osteocyte,and both nucleus and cytoplasm were positive staining.At each time point,the expression of DKK1 in distraction group was higher than that in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusions During MDO,the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is activated due to the distraction and mechanical strain on the bone.With the increased expression of Wnt-related factors,the endogenous negative feedback is enhanced to induce DKK1 expression and to regulate the activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway.This would be beneficial to the new bone formation and remodeling in the distraction gap.

Objective To investigate the reason for hidden hemorrhage of hip fracture in elder.Methods All of 94 elder patients,who were diagnosed with intertrochanteric fracture or femoral neck fracture and received treatment in our department from October,2013 to September,2015,were included in this study.The time between injuries to admission was less than 4 hours of the two groups of patients.And the patients whose hemoglobin was less than 100 g/L were removed when admission,in order to avoid the interference of primary anemia.All information,including height,weight,and the value of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct),were collected.Blood tests were performed immediately after admission,at daily morning preoperatively,and at the morning of the day of surgery.Preoperative blood loss (hidden hemorrhage) was recorded.With respect to blood loss of hidden hemorrhage,statistical analysis was performed at different times (immediate time after admission,and day 1,2,and 3 postoperatively)in the group of intertrochanteric fracture or in the group of femoral neck fracture,and subsequently performed between the two groups.Results The blood loss in the group of intertrochanteric fracture was 196.3 ml,310.1 ml and 418.3 ml in the 1st day,the 2nd day and the third day after admission.There was a significant difference among different time with respect to blood loss.The blood loss was 39.8 ml,65.7 ml and 82.9 ml in the 1st day,the 2nd day and the third day after admission in the group of femoral neck fracture.There was also a significant difference among different time with respect to blood loss.In experimental group,mean blood loss was 418.3 ml and mean Hb decreased by 23.7 g/L at day 3 postoperatively.In control group,mean blood loss was 82.9 ml and mean Hb decreased by 6.7 g/L at day 3 postoperatively.A significant difference was observed between the two groups.The blood loss in patients with intertrochanteric fracture was higher than that in patients with femoral neck fracture.Conclusion The blood loss was gradually increased in elder patients with intertrochanteric fracture over time.There was a significant difference in different time with respect to blood loss.Moreover,a significant difference was found in blood loss of hidden hemorrhage between intertrochanteric fracture and femoral neck fracture.
