Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT) is a foot and ankle disease characterized by ankle pain, which may impact the joint function and life quality. If managed improperly, it may lead to a further ankle arthritis, severely compromising the prognosis. The therapeutic effect of conservative treatment for OLT is still uncertain. Surgery is still the main treatment modality for OLT with various techniques. However, the optimized surgical technique is still inconclusive, furthermore, regeneration and repair of cartilage after debridement is also a great challenge for the treatment of OLT. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with good repair effect on cartilage injury is gradually applied in the treatment of OLT. However, there still lacks the unified understanding of the technique and specification of PRP for the treatment of OLT. Therefore, National Orthopedics Center of Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital allied Foot Ankle Basic Research & Orthopedics Group, Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons; Foot and Ankle Committee of Chinese Association of Sports Medicine Physicians; and Foot and Ankle Group of Orthopedic Specialized Branch of Shanghai Medical Association to organize related experts to formulate the Expert consensus on platelet- rich plasma treatment for osteochondral lesion of talus ( version2023). Fifteen recommendations were put forward upon PRP preparation, indications, contraindications and treatment methods of PRP for OLT, so as to standardize the PRP treatment for OLT.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of hypertension among primary and middle school students living in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, so as to provide insights into comprehensive hypertension control among children and adolescents. Methods: Primary and middle school students at ages of 7 to 17 years were recruited for a questionnaire survey in Suzhou City using the stratified cluster random sampling method from September to December, 2020, and the height and body weight were measured. Blood pressure was measured at three separate clinic visits according to the national criteria Reference of Screening for Elevated Blood Pressure among Children and Adolescents Aged 7-18 Years ( WS/T 610-2018 ), and the detection of elevated blood pressure was estimated at three separate visits. In addition, factors affecting elevated blood pressure were identified. Results: A total of 3 713 students were enrolled, including 1 924 boys ( 51.82% ) and 1 789 girls ( 48.18% ). The detection of elevated blood pressure was 13.63%, 5.36%, and 3.37% at three separate visits, respectively, and the prevalence of hypertension ( elevated blood pressure at all three visits ) was 3.37%. The detection rates of elevated blood pressure were all higher at three visits ( 16.90%, 8.40%, and 5.26% ) among students at ages of 12 to 17 years than among students at ages of 7 to 11 years ( 9.65%, 1.67%, and 1.07%, P<0.05 ). The detection of elevated blood pressure was significantly higher in boys ( 15.23% ) than in girls (11.91%) at the first visit ( P<0.05 ), while no significant differences were seen at the second or third visit ( P>0.05 ). In addition, higher detection rates of elevated blood pressure were seen in obese ( 27.62%, 11.51%, and 7.06% ) and overweight students ( 17.45%, 6.95%, and 4.85% ) than in students with normal weight ( 9.44%, 3.54%, and 2.15% ) at all three visits, and greater detection rates of elevated blood pressure were found in obese students than in overweight students at the first and second visits ( P<0.017 ). Conclusions The prevalence of hypertension was 3.37% based on three separate visits among primary and middle school students in Suzhou City. Measurement of blood pressure at three separate visits within different days is effective to reduce the false positive rate of hypertension and decrease misdiagnosis among children and adolescents.

: To assess the relationship between high blood pressure (HBP) and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-height ratio (WHtR) among children and adolescents in Suzhou. Methods: A total of 3 150 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years were enrolled through stratified cluster sampling from September to October, 2019. Questionnaire survey was conducted, and height, weight, WC and BP were measured to calculate BMI and WHtR, relationship of HBP and adiposity indicators were evaluated. Results: The prevalence of HBP was 11.3%, overweight/obesity rate was 28.5%, and centrality obesity based on WC and WHtR was 20.6% and 23.7%, respectively. There were significant relationships between HBP and BMI, WC, and WHtR (χ2=157.80,105.87,124.17,P<0.01). As Logistic regression showed, compared to normal weight group, overweight/obesity based on BMI had positive relation with HBP (OR=3.89, 95%CI=3.09-4.90); compared to normal WC/WHtR, centrality obesity showed positive association with HBP (WC: OR=3.05, 95%CI=2.41-3.86; WHtR: OR=3.35, 95%CI=2.67-4.21). Meanwhile, BMI had joint effects on HBP with WC/WHtR. Specifically subjects with overweight/obesity and center obesity had higher risk of HBP, compared to normal BMI and WC subjects(OR=4.28, 95%CI=3.31-5.53). Conclusion Significant relationships between HBP and BMI, WC, and WHtR were found. BMI had joint effects on HBP with WC/WHtR. Keeping normal body weight and WC/ WHtR would have significant effects on HBP.

Objective: To explore the key points of nursing in the process of diagnosing and treating the common complication--- post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) after pediatric liver transplantation. Methods: The clinical data of 21 children with PTLD after liver transplantation. The key point of nursing in the process of prevention, onset, diagnosis and treatment was summarized. Results: With the individual and combined treatments 18 patients gained remission except for 1 patient died because of perforation and sequent intractable haemorrhage and 2 patient died for the development of lymphoma. In terms of nursing, during the prevention stage, it is critical to insist the regular follow-up to make early diagnosis. More efforts should be made to obtain the children′s cooperation to complete the examination. During the infusion of rituximab, strengthened monitoring is necessary and more attention should be paid to the special nursing when other complications such as intractable haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction or perforation occurs. Conclusions The nursing care of PTLD is complicated. Individual and careful nursing regimens should be made based on the specific situations in different stages.

AIM:To explore the effects of stanniocalcin 2 (STC2) on the proliferation, migration and the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells.METHODS:The expression levels of STC2 in the hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines and normal liver cells were assessed by Western blot.Colony formation assay was used to test the effect of STC2 on the proliferation of HepG2 cells.The effects of STC2 on the expression of proliferation-related molecules at mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The effect of STC2 on the migration ability was measured by Transwell assay.The mRNA and protein levels of vimentin and E-cadherin in STC2-overexpressing and-silencing cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with the normal liver cell line, the protein expression of STC2 was up-regulated in the hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.The results of colony formation assay indicated that STC2 promoted the proliferation of HepG2 cells.STC2 significantly regulated the proliferation-related gene expression, such as cyclin D1.The results of Transwell assay showed that STC2 enhanced the migration ability of the HepG2 cells and influenced the EMT process.CONCLUSION:STC2 promotes the proliferation of HepG2 cells and affects the expression of proliferation-related genes.STC2 influences the process of EMT and promotes the migration of HepG2 cells.

AIM:To explore the mitochondrial pathway in the apoptosis of PC3 cells induced by PXD101 (also named as belinostat).METHODS:PC3 cells were treated with PXD101 at different doses or stimulated with PXD101 for different time.The effect of PXD101 on the viability of PC3 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay.The apoptotic rates and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were analyzed by flow cytometry.The protein levels of Bcl-2, Bax and cytochrome C (Cyt C) were determined by Western blot.The caspase-3 activity were tested by caspase-3 activity assay kit.RESULTS:The viability of the PC3 cells was inhibited by PXD101 in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Flow cytometric analysis showed that the apoptotic rates were increased in the cells treated with PXD101 (P<0.01).At the same time, PXD101 induced the decreases in MMP and Bcl-2, the release of Cyt C, and the increase in caspase-3 activity.CONCLUSION:PXD101 induces the apoptosis of human prostate cancer cell line PC3 by mitochondrial signal pathway.

Aim To explore the role of PI3 K/Akt/Sirt1 pathway in cardioprotection of hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S ) postconditioning against ischemia/reperfusion ( I/R) injury. Methods Langendorff perfusion appa-ratus was used to build an isolated rat myocardial I/R model. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 30 min global ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion after 20 min of equilibrium. 60 male SD rats were randomly di-vided into 5 groups(n=12):control group(Control), ischemia/reperfusion group( I/R) , H2 S postcondition-ing group( H2 S) , inhibitor LY294002 group( LY) and H2 S with inhibitor group( H2 S+LY) . The left ventric-ular diastolic pressure ( LVEDP ) , the left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP), the maximum rate of in-crease or decrease of left ventricular pressure ( ± dp/dtmax ) were registered at the end of 20 min equilibri-um, 30 and 60 min of reperfusion separately. Triphe-nyl tetrazolium chloride( TTC) staining was used to de-termine the myocardial infarct size. The levels of Sirt1 and PGC-1 mRNA were tested using real-time PCR. The expressions of Sirt1 and PGC-1αwere detected with Western blot analysis. Immunohistochemical method was used to determine the location of Sirt1 . Results There were no differences in equilibrium hemodynamics observed between the experimental groups(P>0. 05). At the end of reperfusion, compared with I/R group, H2 S group had obviously ameliorated functional recov-ery and significantly decreased the myocardial infarct size(26. 9 ± 4. 9)% vs(48. 9 ± 5. 6)%(P <0. 05). Meanwhile, the expression of Sirt1 and PGC-1α in-creased significantly. However,LY294002 reversed the cardioprotective effects provided by hydrogen sulfide postconditioning and reduced the level of Sirt1 and PGC-1α, the percentage of Sirt1-positive nuclei. Con-clusion PI3 K/Akt/Sirt1 signaling pathway mediates the hydrogen sulfide postconditioning-induced protec-tion against I/R injury.

Aim Toinvestigatetheroleofbrain-de-rived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)-tyrosine receptor ki-nase B (trkB ) signaling pathway in the therapeutic effects of ketamine on diabetic neuropathic pain.Meth-ods Forty-eightWistarrats,aged3months,weighing 200~250 g,were equally randomized into 4 groups(n=12 ):control group (C group ), saline group (S group),ketamine group (K group)and ketamine +ANA-12 group (KA group ).Rats in S,K and KA groups were intraperitoneally injected with a single of streptozotocin(STZ)65 mg·kg-1 to construct diabetic neuropathic pain model.After twenty-eight days,rats in S,K and KA groups were intraperitoneally injected with saline, ketamine 10 mg·kg-1 and ketamine 10 mg·kg-1 +ANA-12 0. 5 mg·kg-1 for consecutive 7 days, respectively. On the 8th day, mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT)of rats was measured.Af-ter that,the rats were immediately sacrificed,and dor-sal ganglion of lumbar spine and prefrontal cortex (PFC)were harvested for measuring BDNF,p-trkB/trkB,synaptophysin and spine density by Western blot andglogistaining.Results ComparedwithCgroup, rats in S group significantly decreased MWT,BDNF, p-trkB/trkB,synaptophysin and spine density in dorsal ganglion and PFC (P <0. 05 ).Compared with S group,rats in K group showed a significant increase of MWT,BDNF,p-trkB/trkB,synaptophysin and spine density in the all observed regions(P<0. 05 ).On the contrary,rats in KA group showed a significant de-crease of MWT and BDNF,p-trkB/trkB,synaptophys-in and spine density as compared with K group in all regions(P<0. 05 ).Furthermore,BDNF was positive-ly correlated with spine density in all regions (P <0.05).Conclusion BDNF-trkBsignalingpathway mediates ketamine-induced therapeutic effects in dia-betic neuropathic pain.
