Objective To analyze the activity concentrations of gross α, gross β, and radionuclides in atmospheric fallout around Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant from 2019 to 2022, and provide foundational scientific data for the healthy development of nuclear energy. Methods Five monitoring sites were set up at different distances (1.2, 6.9, 12.4, 42.3, and 69.2 km) from Daya Bay Nuclear Island 1. Stainless steel sampling barrels were used to collect atmospheric fallout, with a monitoring cycle of three months. The collected samples were ashed using radiochemical method. Subsequently, the gross α and gross β radioactivity were quantified using a low-background α/β measurement instrument. The remaining ash samples were mixed with water and left to equilibrate for over three weeks before γ-nuclide analysis using a low-background, high-purity germanium γ-spectrometer. Results The gross α activity concentration in atmospheric fallout around Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant from 2019 to 2022 averaged (25.3 ± 10.6) Bq/m²/season and ranged from 5.8 to 73.4 Bq/m²/season. The gross α activity concentrations in sampling sites #1 to #5 were 5.8-34.4, 11.9-35.2, 14.4-46.4, 7.2-73.4, and 13.1-43.1 Bq/m²/season, respectively. The gross β activity concentration averaged (50.5 ± 23.4) Bq/m²/season and ranged from 13.9 to 139.3 Bq/m²/season. The gross β activity concentrations of sampling sites #1 to #5 were 17.1-107.4, 17.6-87.5, 25.8-102.0, 13.9-139.3, and 23.4-99.2 Bq/m²/season, resprctively. The activity concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, ⁴⁰K, ²¹⁰Pb, and ⁷Be in atmospheric fallout were < lower limit of detection (LLD)-4.2, < LLD-5.8, < LLD-6.3, < LLD-42.1, < LLD-514.0, and 35.7-1761.0 Bq/m²/season, respectively. Gross α and gross β activity concentrations were significantly positively correlated with ²¹⁰Pb activity concentration (r=0.770, α < 0.001; r=0.882, α < 0.001, respectively). Gross β activity concentration showed a significant positive correlation with ⁷Be (r=0.833, α < 0.001). The activity concentrations of ⁵⁴Mn, ⁵⁷Co, ⁵⁸Co, ⁶⁰Co, ⁵⁹Fe, ⁹⁵Zr, ¹⁰³Ru, ¹⁰⁶Ru, ^110mAg, ¹³¹I, ¹³⁴Cs, ¹³⁷ Cs, ¹⁴⁰Ba and ¹⁹²Ir were lower than the LLD of the instrument, and no artificial radionuclides were detected. Conclusion The gross α and gross β radioactive activity concentrations in the atmospheric fallout in the surrounding area of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant during 2019-2022 were affected by natural radionuclides ²¹⁰Pb and ⁷Be, and were in the normal fluctuation ranges. No artificial radionuclides were found in the atmospheric fallout, and the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant was in a safe and stable state of operation.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a developmental disease with abnormal position and morphology of the acetabulum and femoral head. DDH ranges from mild dysplasia to complete dislocation, including simple acetabular dysplasia, subluxation, and total dislocation. DDH is one of the most common hip diseases in children, and its onset begins in infancy. The anatomical structure of the hip joint is complex, and there are some practical problems in the large -scale clinical diagnosis and screening work, such as heavy workload, high misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate, and a long learning period of surgery. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging technology science used to research and develop theories, methods, technologies and application systems that can simulate human intelligence. The main goal is to enable machines to complete complex tasks that require human intelligence. At present, artificial intelligence is mainly used in the diagnosis and treatment of DDH. Artificial intelligence combined with X-ray or ultrasound is used to diagnose and screen DDH, which avoids subjectivity to a certain extent and improves the accuracy of diagnosis and screening. In the preoperative planning of periacetabular osteotomy and total hip arthroplasty, it can more accurately track the position of the bone block and design the size of the prosthesis, which makes the surgical planning more accurate to a certain extent. Artificial intelligence technologies such as 3D navigation system, surgical robot and robotic arm are helpful to improve the accuracy and safety of surgery. Artificial intelligence has the characteristics of simplicity, speed, high repeatability and deep learning ability, which to a certain extent saves manpower, material resources and time costs for DDH diagnosis and treatment, facilitates medical workers to share DDH diagnosis and treatment experience and reduces the burden of patients, families, society and the country. The application of artificial intelligence in DDH diagnosis and treatment is becoming more and more extensive, but at present, artificial intelligence in DDH screening is still in its preliminary stage. There are few reports on artificial intelligence technology in DDH hip preservation treatment and other surgical methods, and there is insufficient research on artificial intelligence in DDH conservative treatment, postoperative complications and prognosis prediction. It is worth exploring new ideas by researchers. At present, the application of artificial intelligence in DDH still has certain limitations, including problems such as difficult to control the quality of image data, difficult to develop and promote technology, and lack of laws and regulations. Based on the literature database and relevant data sharing network, this paper reviews the application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of DDH at home and abroad in recent years, summarizes the current application status of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of DDH, and provides new ideas for the future application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of DDH.

As the National Health Commission changes the management of novel corona virus infection, the situation and preventive policies for controlling the epidemic have also entered a new stage in China. Perioperative care strategies for orthopedic trauma such as designated isolation and nucleic acid test screening have also been adjusted in the new stage. Based on the perioperative work experiences in the new stage of epidemic from the frontline anti-epidemic staff of orthopedics in domestic hospitals and combined with the literature and relevant evidence-based medical data in perioperative care of orthopedic trauma patients under the current anti-epidemic policies at home and abroad, Chinese Orthopedic Association and Chinese Society of Traumatology organized relevant experts to formulate the Guideline for clinical perioperative care of orthopedic trauma patients in the new stage of novel corona virus infection ( version 2023). The guideline summarized 16 recommendations from the aspects of preoperative diagnosis and treatment, infection prevention, emergency operation and postoperative management to systematically standardize the perioperative clinical pathways, diagnosis and treatment processes of orthopedic trauma in the new stage of novel corona virus infection, so as to provide a guidance and reference for hospitals at all levels to carry out relevant work in current epidemic control policies.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective:To explore the anatomical and clinical effects of lateral-perineal approach in treating the fracture of inferior ramus of pubis-ischium ramus.Methods:The lateral approach of the perineum was simulated on 10 side of 5 intact wet adult cadavers to determine the surface symbols of incision design and to expose the operative field of the approach and to observe the anatomical characteristics of the perineal branch of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve and the incision of the surgical approach. Five points were selected at the incision of the approach. The distance (L 1-L 5) between each point and the body surface projection of the perineal branch of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve was measured. A total of 11 patients, including 5 males and 6 females with an average age of 41.55±14.32 years, ranging from 18 to 62 years, were treated by this approach in clinical practice. All patients had a reduction and fixation to the fracture of inferior ramus of pubis-ischium ramus. The operation duration, incision length, intraoperative blood loss and surgical complications were recorded. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated according to Matta radiographic criteria. The strength of the adductor was measured. The pelvic function was evaluated according to Majeed Pelvic Score at the last follow-up. Results:Anatomical studies shown that the line between the two points. One point was 4 cm lateral to the level of the apex of the pubic arch. Another point was 4 cm from the ischial tubercle on the line from the ischial tuberosity to the point that 4 cm lateral to the level of the apex of the pubic arch was the axis of the approach lateral of the perineum. Anatomical studies showed that the lateral-perineal approach could expose the range from pubic symphysis to sciatic tuberculum. The distance between the points selected at the incision of the approach and the body surface projection of the perineal branch of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve: L 1 was 19.40±1.17 mm, ranging from 18 to 21 mm; L 2 was 16.60±2.76 mm, ranging from 10 to 20 mm; L 3 was 18.30±1.89 mm, ranging from 16 to 21 mm; L 4 was 19.20±1.93 mm, ranging from 16 to 22 mm; L 5 was 14.70±1.83 mm, ranging from 13 to 18 mm. All patients were followed up for 17.91±4.09 months, ranging from 13 to 26 months. The incision length was 8.18±0.98 cm, ranging from 7 to 10 cm. The operation duration was 59.64±12.17 min, ranging from 43 to 85 min. The intraoperative blood loss was 100 ml, ranging from 50 to 130 ml. All incisions were healed in all patients. The fractures were healed in 13.36±2.06 weeks, ranging from 10 to 16 weeks. According to Matta radiographic criteria, the quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 6 cases, good in 4 cases and fair in 1 case. At the last follow-up, the adductor muscle strength reached grade 4 in 4 patients and grade 5 in 7 patients. Furthermore, according to the Majeed Pelvic Score, the score of every patient was 86.55±9.59, ranging from 66 to 100, and 8 cases were excellent, 3 cases were good at the last follow-up. The heterotopic ossification occurred in 2 patients, the pain during intercourse occurred in 2 patients. No patient had sensory disturbance or pain in the perineal area. Conclusion:A certain safe distance is between the lateral to the perineum and the perineal branch of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve with limited risk of injuring posterior femoral cutaneous nerve via the lateral approach of the perineum. The advantages in treating the fracture of inferior ramus of pubis-ischium ramus by this approach have concealed incision, short operation duration and less bleeding with satisfied short-term clinical effects.

Objective:Using high-throughput transcriptome sequencing technology to study the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and related regulatory signaling pathways involved in H1N1 influenza virus infection in primary human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.Methods:Primary human RPE cells were infected with H1N1 influenza virus for 2 h or 12 h, respectively. Taking H1N1 uninfected cells as a control group, total RNA was extracted, a library was constructed, and transcriptome sequencing was performed. DEGs were screened by DESeq2 software, and DEGs were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway.Results:Compared with the control group, a total of 1830 DEGs were identified in the 2 h H1N1 influenza virus infection group, and 2847 DEGs were identified in the 12 h infection group; 1213 DEGs were identified in the H1N1 influenza virus infection kinetics process (2 h: 12 h). The GO functional annotation analysis of DEGs in the H1N1 influenza virus infection group for 12 h showed that DEGs widely exist in a variety of cellular components and participate in various biological processes such as cellular processes, biological regulation, and metabolic processes. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, cancer MicroRNAs, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions in the 2 h H1N1 influenza virus infection group; in the 12 h H1N1 influenza virus infection group, DEGs were mainly enriched in PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, cancer MicroRNAs, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway and immune-inflammatory pathways; during the kinetics of H1N1 influenza virus infection (2 h: 12 h), DEGs were mainly enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, TGF-β signaling pathway.Conclusions:Infection with H1N1 influenza virus leads to significant changes in the transcriptome of RPE cells. These data provide scientific reference for elucidating the molecular mechanism of eye infection by respiratory viruses such as influenza virus.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of anterior approach combined with blocking plates and screws in the management of acetabular fracture involving the quadrilateral area.Methods:A retrospective case series analysis was performed for 16 patients with acetabular fracture involving the quadrilateral area admitted to First and Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2017 to January 2019. There were 12 males and 4 females，with the age of 21-66 years［（45.3±10.6）years］. According to Letournel-Judet classification，there were 9 patients with bi-column fracture，6 with anterior and posterior traverse fracture and 1 with anterior column fracture. A total of 9 patients were operated via the ilioinguinal approach and 7 via the lateral-rectus approach. Reduction and fixation of the pelvis and acetabulum were performed，using 3.5 mm cortical bone screws or plates to block the internal displacement of fracture in the quadrilateral body. The incision length，operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. The quality of fracture reduction was assessed according to the Matta reduction criteria at postoperative 2 days and hip function by the modified Merle D'Aubigne-Postel score at postoperative 3 months and 12 months. Postoperative complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 13-24 months［（16.1±2.9）months］. The ilioinguinal approach and lateral-rectus approach showed surgical incision of 12-26 cm［（18.6±4.0）cm］and 8-15 cm［（10.7±2.3）cm］，respectively. The operation time was 107-215 minutes［（159.2±27.8）minutes］and the intraoperative blood loss was 200-2，300 ml［（853.1±489.7）ml］. According to Matta reduction criteria，the results were excellent in 9 patients and good in 7. Three months after operation，the modified Merle D'Aubigne-Postel score was 11-18 points［（15.2±2.2）points］，which showed the results were excellent in 4 patients，good in 7，fair in 4 and poor in 1，with the excellent and good rate of 69%. Twelve months after operation，the modified Merle D'Aubigne-Postel score was 13-18 points［（16.9±1.4）points］，which showed the results were excellent in 7 patients，good in 8 and fair in 1，with the excellent and good rate of 94%. The liquefaction of post-surgical incision was seen in a patient，bladder injury in a patient，lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury in a patient，and heterotopic ossification in a patient. There was no loosening or breakage of the internal fixation.Conclusion:For acetabular fracture involving the quadrilateral area，anterior approach combined with blocking plates and screws can prevent the displacement of quadrilateral fracture and attain satisfactory reductiongood hip function recovery and few complications.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the modified biplane Chevron osteotomy and autogenous osteochondral transplantation for the treatment of talar cartilage injury with bone cyst.Methods:From February 2016 to February 2019, 26 patients with talar cartilage injury and bone cyst were treated at Department of Orthopaedics, The First Affiliated Hospital to Guangxi Medical University. They were 16 males and 10 females, aged from 22 to 50 years (average, 36.2 years). According to the Hepple classification, there were 5 cases of type Ⅳ and 21 cases of type Ⅴ. The extent and range of talar cartilage injury were evaluated by arthroscopy, the modified biplane Chevron osteotomy of medial malleolus was performed to expose cartilage defects medial to the talus, unstable cartilage was removed thoroughly, sclerotic wall of the bone cyst was freshly treated, and an osteochondral column taken from the non-weight-bearing area of the ipsilateral femoral medial condyle was implanted into the injured area of talar cartilage. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by comparing the ankle-hindfoot scores of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), Karlsson ankle scores, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Lysholm ankle scores between preoperation and one year post-operation.Results:All the 26 patients were followed up for an average of 20.6 months (from 12 to 30 months). Follow-up did not observe any postoperative complications like incision infection, cyst recurrence or malunion, or any obvious pain or movement limitation at the donor knee joint. The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores were significantly increased from preoperative 64.3±3.9 to 89.5±5.1 one year postoperation, the Karlsson scores were significantly increased from preoperative 60.5±5.5 to 85.2±6.9 one year postoperation, and the VAS scores were significantly decreased from preoperative 6.2±1.1 to 1.8±0.9 one year post-operation (all P<0.05). The Lysholm ankle scores before and after operation were 94.7±1.9 and 94.1±1.8, respectively, showing no significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of talar osteochondral injury and bone cyst, the modified biplane Chevron osteotomy of medial malleolus and autogenous transplantation of osteochondral column can effectively relieve ankle pain and improve ankle function, leading to satisfactory clinical efficacy.

The Kickstand technique is an extension added to the basic frame of modern external fixation to elevate an affected extremity. It is an affordable and modified external fixation in orthopedic trauma. Orthopedic physicians use this technique to prevent formation of pressure sores and relieve swelling in lower extremity of patients who require prolonged bed rest, because this technique makes the heel apart from the supporting surface and promotes circulation of venous blood lymph fluid. This paper briefly introduces the development of this technique and its efforts to improve quality of care and solve a clinical problem. To relieve the burden of healthcare for pressure sores and swelling in an affected lower extremity after surgery, this technique should be popularized.
