BACKGROUND:In the initial stage of growth plate injury inflammation,platelet-derived growth factor BB promotes the repair of growth plate injury by promoting mesenchymal progenitor cell infiltration,chondrogenesis,osteogenic response,and regulating bone remodeling. OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the action mechanism of platelet-derived growth factor BB after growth plate injury. METHODS:PubMed,VIP,WanFang,and CNKI databases were used as the literature sources.The search terms were"growth plate injury,bone bridge,platelet-derived growth factor BB,repair"in English and Chinese.Finally,66 articles were screened for this review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Growth plate injury experienced early inflammation,vascular reconstruction,fibroossification,structural remodeling and other pathological processes,accompanied by the crosstalk of chondrocytes,vascular endothelial cells,stem cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts and other cells.Platelet-derived growth factor BB,as an important factor in the early inflammatory response of injury,regulates the injury repair process by mediating a variety of cellular inflammatory responses.Targeting the inflammatory stimulation mediated by platelet-derived growth factor BB may delay the bone bridge formation process by improving the functional activities of osteoclasts,osteoblasts,and chondrocytes,so as to achieve the injury repair of growth plate.Platelet-derived growth factor BB plays an important role in angiogenesis and bone repair tissue formation at the injured site of growth plate and intrachondral bone lengthening function of uninjured growth plate.Inhibition of the coupling effect between angiogenesis initiated by platelet-derived growth factor BB and intrachondral bone formation may achieve the repair of growth plate injury.

The drugs were continuously administered once a day for 12 weeks and observed for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. The drug safety profile was assessed concurrently with the observation of the sustained virological response (SVR12) in the two patient groups 12 weeks following the drug cessation. The intention-to-treat concept was used to define as closely as possible a full analysis set, including all randomized cases who received the experimental drug at least once. The safety set was collected from all subjects who received the experimental drug at least once (regardless of whether they participated in the randomization group) in this study. All efficacy endpoints and safety profile data were summarized using descriptive statistics. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The primary analysis was performed on a full analysis set. The frequency and proportion of cases were calculated in the experimental drug group (antaitasvir phosphate capsules combined with yiqibuvir tablets) that achieved "HCV RNA

Objective:To summarize the key prenatal ultrasound diagnosis features of Apert syndrome, analyze the causes of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and propose corresponding preventive strategies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on the medical records and prenatal ultrasound images of 15 fetuses (including 14 cases referred from other hospitals) who underwent prenatal ultrasound examination in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from August 2014 to May 2022 and were eventually clinically confirmed as Apert syndrome by induction or after birth. By conducting a comparative analysis, particularly focusing on the initial and final diagnoses of referral cases, the key ultrasound diagnostic points of Apert syndrome and the causes for missed and misdiagnosis were summarized.Results:①Diagnostic accuracy: Among the 15 fetuses, 11 cases (73.3%) were correctly diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound and 4 cases (26.7%) were missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. For the 14 referral cases, only 2 cases (14.3%) were correctly identified in the initial diagnosis at the referring hospital (14.3%), and 12 cases (85.7%) were missed missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. ②Detection rate of ultrasound signs: In the 15 fetuses with Apert syndrome, the detection rate of " cloverleaf" skull was 13.3% (2/15), premature coronal suture was 66.7% (10/15), the " brain shadowing sign" and flat occiput were both 93.3% (14/15), prominent forehead, hypertelorism and bilateral syndactyly of hands were all 100% (15/15), and bilateral syndactyly of feet was 73.3% (11/15). ③Analysis of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis: Among the 4 cases of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis in our hospital, premature closure of coronal suture, " brain shadowing sign", flat occiput and hypertelorism were all not recognized. Among these, 3 cases also missed the prominent forehead, bilateral syndactyly of hands and feet. Additionally, 1 case of bilateral syndactyly of hands was misdiagnosed as partial absence of metacarpals and phalangess.Conclusions:In the prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fetal Apert syndrome, the symmetric syndactyly of both hands serves as an extremely important diagnostic clue. The " cloverleaf" skull is not common. The premature closure of coronal suture as a direct diagnostic sign with a high detection rate, highlighting its significance in the diagnostic of Apert syndrome. Furthermore, the high detection rates of characteristic ultrasound features such as prominent forehead, flat occiput, " brain shadowing sign" and hypertelorism could help to improve the accuracy of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis for Apert syndrome and effectively reduce missed and misdiagnosis.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)in predicting the prognosis of patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ECCA)treated with biliary stenting combined with 125I seeds implantation.Methods A total of 128 patients with unresectable ECCA,who received biliary stenting combined with 125I seeds implantation at the Interventional Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University of China between August 2018 and August 2021,were enrolled in this study.The peripheral blood routine testing was performed within 3 days before operation,based on which the SII was calculated.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to determine the optimal cut-off value of SII,based on which the patients were divided into high-SII group and low-SII group.Cox regression model was used to analyze the independent factors affecting patient prognosis.The Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to analyze the one-year survival.Results The optimal cut-off value of SII was 1 050,the sensitivity was 66.0％,the specificity was 69.3％,and the area under ROC curve of SII was 0.676.The one-year survival rate of patients with ECCA in the high-SII group was significantly lower than that in the low-SII group(P＜0.05).Univariate Cox regression analysis indicated that vascular invasion,T stage,adjuvant chemotherapy,CA19-9,and preoperative SII were the important factors affecting the prognosis of patients with ECCA.Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that T stage,CA19-9,and preoperative SII were the independent risk factors for patient prognosis,while adjuvant chemotherapy was a protective factor.The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the one-year survival rate in high-SII group was remarkably lower than that in the low-SII group.Conclusion Preoperative SII has an important value in evaluating the prognosis of patients with ECCA who are treated with biliary stenting combined with 125I seed implantation.(J Intervent Radiol,2023,32:1221-1225)

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells （BMSCs） are derived from stem cells isolated from bone marrow and have the potential for multidirectional differentiation and self-renewal. Under certain conditions， BMSCs can be induced to differentiate into osteoblast （OB）， chondrocyte， adipocyte， fibroblast， etc. BMSCs play an important role in maintaining the stability of bone structure and balancing bone metabolism. Promoting the proliferation of BMSCs and inducing their differentiation into OB of great significance for the clinical prevention and treatment of osteoporosis， bone defects， fracture healing， and other diseases. Because the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs are complex processes controlled by multiple genes and regulated by multiple signal transduction pathways， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） happens to have the advantages of multi-bioactive component， multi-target， and multi-pathway synergism， which can affect the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs through multiple channels and induce the proliferation of BMSCs. The transcription and expression of genes related to osteogenesis can be enhanced to promote the differentiation of BMSCs into OB， so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating osteoporosis， bone defects， and other bone diseases. Based on the literature on the intervention of TCM monomers and compounds in the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs， this study reviewed TCM monomers and compounds in promoting the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by regulating secreted glycoprotein （Wnt）， neurogenic locus notch homolog protein （Notch）， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase （PI3K） /protein kinase B （Akt）， bone morphogenetic protein （BMP）/Smad， Janus kinase （JAK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription protein （STAT）， osteoprotegerin （OPG）/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B （RANK）/RANK ligand （RANKL）， and other signaling pathways to provide new ideas for the research and clinical application of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of orthopedic diseases.
