Liver diseases cannot be easily detected in the early stage, and although invasive diagnostic methods, such as liver biopsy, are relatively accurate, they tend to have a low degree of acceptance, which greatly limits the improvement in diagnosis and treatment techniques for liver diseases. Therefore, it is of great importance to search for new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. As an emerging biomarker for liquid biopsy, tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA) is abnormally expressed in various liver diseases including viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, liver injury, and liver cancer, and it can affect the development and progression of liver diseases by regulating the biological functions such as gene expression, epigenetic regulation, and protein translation. This article reviews the origin, classification, and biological function of tsRNA, as well as the research advances in tsRNA as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for liver diseases, so as to provide ideas for the early diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.

Objective To study the relationship between serum visfatin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and disease severity of coronary heart disease (CHD) in elderly patients (≥90 years old). Methods One hundred and two elderly patients (≥90 years old) with CHD who received coronary CT angiography (CTA) were selected from January 2020 to June 2024. In addition, thirty-five elderly patients (≥90 years old) without CHD who underwent coronary CTA during the same period were included in the control group. The CHD patients were divided into mild group, moderate group and severe group by CT-SYNTAX score. The clinical data and levels of serum visfatin and NLR were compared, and the correlation and diagnostic value of the above levels with disease severity of CHD in elderly patients were analyzed. Results Serum visfatin and NLR were manifested as severe group>moderate group>mild group>control group (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis found that serum visfatin and NLR were moderately positively correlated with CT-SYNTAX score (r=0.574, 0.482, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) of combination of serum visfatin and NLR in diagnosing severe lesion in elderly patients (≥90 years old) with CHD was 0.882, which was higher than that of visfatin or NLR alone, and its 95%CI was 0.803-0.938. Conclusion There is a certain correlation between serum visfatin, NLR and disease severity of CHD in elderly patients. The combination of the above indicators has a higher predictive value on severe lesion.

Objective:To investigate the stability and feasibility of using absorbable screws during Bernese periacetabular osteotomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on a 36 year-old woman diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip, who had undergone Bernese periacetabular osteotomy. Finite element analysis was used to simulate the stability of the acetabulum under loads of 10%, 20%, 50%, and 100% of the patient's weight. The structural stiffness of the pelvis and the maximum equivalent stress on the absorbable screws were observed under different conditions, including whether the acetabular bone block and the ilium were in contact, whether 3 or 4 screws were used, and whether a graft (including fibular cortical bone and PEEK grafts) was used.Results:The structural stiffness of the pelvis fixed with four screws increased by 67%-94% compared to that with three screws. After using a graft, the structural stiffness of the pelvis increased by 50%-83%. As the load increased, the maximum equivalent stress on the screws also increased. When the acetabular bone block and the ilium had no contact, no graft was used, and only three screws were used for fixation, the maximum equivalent stress could reach 518.9 MPa, while this value dropped to 61% when four screws were used (318.7 MPa). When the acetabular bone block and the ilium were in contact, the maximum equivalent stress was about 12% of that when there was no contact, regardless of the number of screws used. When a cortical bone graft or a PEEK graft was used, the maximum equivalent stress could drop to 21%-26% of that without a graft. When the screw strength was 130 MPa, a load of 20% of body weight was applied, and only three screws were used without a graft, the equivalent stress could exceed the strength of the screw; if four screws were used, the equivalent stress was slightly higher than the strength of the screw when a load of 50% of body weight was applied. However, when a graft was used (either cortical bone or PEEK), even when a load of 100% of body weight was applied, the equivalent stress was slightly lower than the strength of the screw.Conclusion:Absorbable screws can provide sufficient stability for Bernese periacetabular osteotomy. The contact between the acetabular bone block and the ilium, an increase in the number of screws, and the use of grafts (cortical bone and PEEK grafts) can further improve stability. Therefore, absorbable screws have broad application prospects in Bernese periacetabular osteotomy.
