BACKGROUND:In the past,it was necessary to cut off the pronator quadratus muscle in the treatment of distal radius fractures.Failure to repair the pronator quadratus muscle can lead to a series of complications. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy of different methods of preserving the pronator quadratus muscle combined with a palmar steel plate in the treatment of distal radius fractures. METHODS:Clinical data of 66 patients with distal radius fractures were retrospectively included,divided into the traditional Henry approach group(group A),the split brachioradialis tendon approach group(group B),and the posterior pronator quadratus muscle approach group(group C),with 22 patients in each group.Postoperative internal fixation,fracture healing,and postoperative complications were observed in the three groups.The visual analog scale score of postoperative wrist pain and forearm rotation angle were compared among the three groups.The Dienst Joint Scale was used to evaluate the wrist function of patients. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The surgical time,intraoperative blood loss,and fracture healing time of groups B and C were significantly lower than those of group A(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time between groups B and C,but the surgical time was shorter in group B.(2)The anteroposterior and lateral wrist X-ray examination 3 days and 1 and 3 months after surgery exhibited that there were no significant differences in radial height,palm angle,and ulnar deviation angle among the three groups(P>0.05).No significant difference was detected in various indicators during the same phase among the three groups(P>0.05).(3)At a follow-up of 12 months after surgery,there were no significant differences in visual analog scale scores and forearm rotation angle among the three groups.However,the evaluation results at 1 and 3 months after surgery demonstrated significant differences in visual analog scale scores and forearm rotation angle among the three groups(P<0.05).Among them,group C had a lower visual analog scale score and a larger forearm rotation angle.(4)According to the Dienst joint scoring standard,the excellent and good rate of wrist joint function evaluation was 86%(19/22),91%(20/22),and 95%(21/22)in groups A,B,and C,respectively 12 months after surgery.(5)All patients did not experience any postoperative vascular or neurological damage or surgical site infection.Group A had three cases of tendon irritation,two cases of traumatic arthritis,and two cases of carpal tunnel syndrome.In group B,tendon irritation occurred in 1 case and joint stiffness in 1 case.There was 1 case of traumatic arthritis and 1 case of carpal tunnel syndrome in group C.(6)It is suggested that different surgical methods for treating distal radius fractures have achieved good clinical results.Placing a steel plate under the pronator muscle can alleviate early postoperative pain,promote early activity,and restore normal life.The brachioradialis tendon approach has more advantages in exposing intraoperative fractures and can shorten the surgical time.

The research literature on the mechanism of Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix and its main components in the treatment of osteoporosis was reviewed. It was found that Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix could promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, enhance the activity of osteoblasts, inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, regulate estrogen levels, and achieve the effects of preventing and treating osteoporosis. It mainly regulates Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, PI3K/Akt and other signaling pathways. The mechanism of Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix in the treatment of OP shows the characteristics of multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway.

Objective:To investigate the differences in glucose homeostasis and amino acid metabolism between patients with new-onset T2DM with qi-yin deficiency syndrome and those with spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional and cohort study. From January 2021 to December 2022, 136 T2DM inpatients were selected from the Department of Metabolic Diseases of Shanxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and 18 patients were screened to meet the inclusion criteria of new-onset T2DM, and were identified as qi-yin deficiency syndrome and sspleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome, and were included in corresponding qi-yin and deficiency group and spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness group, with 9 cases in each group. All patients wore a dynamic blood glucose monitoring system to calculate the 24-h mean standard deviation of blood glucose (SDBG), the coefficient of variation of blood glucose (GLU cv), the maximum value of blood glucose (GLU max), the minimum value of blood glucose (GLU min), the maximum amplitude of glucose fluctuation (LAGE), the average amplitude of glucose fluctuation (MAGE), and the proportion of time within the target range of blood glucose (TIR). Blood specimens were retained for amino acid metabolism testing to screen for differential metabolites and metabolic pathways in the 2 groups of syndromes. Results:Patients in the spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness group had mAlb [27.61 (13.60,40.45) mg/L vs. 5.10 (1.95, 9.70) mg/L, Z=-2.34], GLU-0 h [(14.83±4.79) mmol/L vs. (9.72±2.35) mmol/L, t=2.87], GLU-1 h [(24.40±5.23) mmol/L vs. (17.71±2.68) mmol/L, t=3.42], GLU-2 h [(25.17±4.43) mmol/L vs. (19.69±3.11) mmol/L, t=3.03], HOMA2-IR [1.83 (1.46, 3.19) vs. 1.14 (0.90, 1.35), Z=-2.14] were higher than those in the qi-yin deficiency syndrome ( P<0.05), GLU cv [16.86 (13.58, 26.20)% vs. 28.30 (23.17, 40.87)%, Z=-2.08] was lower than that of the qi-yin deficiency syndrome ( P<0.05) and had severe blood glucose fluctuations. Screening of 2 groups of differential metabolites identified threonine, alanine, and glutamine as potential metabolic markers for T2DM with qi-yin deficiency versus spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness. Analysis of the 2 groups of differential metabolite pathways for different TCM syndromes revealed that Aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis was the most significantly enriched pathway. Conclusion:Patients with T2DM spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome had worse insulin function and glucose homeostasis than those with qi-yin deficiency syndrome; differences in amino acid metabolism were important influences on the development of the 2 types of the syndromes, namely, spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome versus qi-yin deficiency syndrome; and Aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis participates in the development of early diabetes mellitus, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of T2DM.

Using the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to determine the plasma level of Lyso-GL3 in patients with Fabry disease and to analyze the clinical application of the method. Thirty-nine patients with a genetic diagnosis of Fabry disease were included, and plasma levels of Lyso-GL3 were measured by LC-MS/MS analysis, and detailed clinical information of the patients was obtained including: α-galactosidase A activity, genetic variants, quantification of urine protein, mean arterial pressure, and estimation of glomerular filtration rate, and the differences in the levels of Lyso-GL3 in different clinical phenotypes and genotypes were statistically analyzed, as well as the association with clinical indicators. Lyso-GL3 showed good linearity within 0.7856-400 ng/mL( The using of LC-MS/MS to quantify plasma Lyso-GL showed significant differences in Lyso-GL3 concentrations between classical and atypical phenotypes, suggesting that plasma Lyso-GL3 may help with clinical phenotypes. However, Lyso-GL3 levels is found to be overlapped between genotypes. No significant linear correlation was found between Lyso-GL3 and renal clinical indicators, suggesting the urgent need in finding a more accurate tool to assess renal involvement and prognosis in patients with Fabry disease.

Objective:To develop and validate a risk prediction model for cognitive frailty in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:A total of 483 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who visited Tianjin First Central Hospital from June to December 2022 were selected using convenience sampling. They were randomly divided into a modeling group ( n=338) and a validation group ( n=145). Data were collected using a self-designed general information questionnaire, the Short-Form Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF), the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15), the Frailty Phenotype (FP), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR). Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors. A cognitive frailty risk prediction nomogram model was constructed based on the results. The model was validated in the validation group, and its predictive performance and clinical applicability were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ( AUC), calibration curve, and clinical decision curve analysis. A total of 483 questionnaires were distributed and all were returned as valid, resulting in a 100.0% response rate. Results:The prevalence of cognitive frailty in the 483 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes was 20.3% (98/483). Age, regular exercise, duration of diabetes, HbA1c levels, depression and nutritional status were identified as predictive factors in the model. The AUC of the model was 0.886, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a χ 2 value of 8.004 ( P=0.433). The optimal cutoff value was 0.335, and the accuracy was 89.0%. Conclusions:The prediction model demonstrates good fit and strong predictive performance, and can intuitively and easily identify elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk of cognitive frailty, providing a reference for early screening and intervention.

Objective:To construct a chain mediating model based on two mediating variables of positive psychological capital and general self-efficacy, so as to explore the impact mechanism of social support on posttraumatic growth in thyroid cancer patients.Methods:From March to December 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 270 postoperative patients with thyroid cancer from the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital as participants. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Post Traumatic Growth Inventory, Social Support Rating Scale, Positive Psychological Questionnaire, and General Self-efficacy Scale. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between social support, positive psychological capital, general self-efficacy, and posttraumatic growth in thyroid cancer patients. SPSS PROCESS program was used to test for the chain mediating effect.Results:A total of 270 questionnaires were distributed, and 257 questionnaires were collected. After excluding questionnaires with missing items exceeding 10% and regular responses, 246 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 91.11% (246/270). Spearman correlation showed that there was positive correlations between social support, positive psychological capital, general self-efficacy, and posttraumatic growth in patients ( P<0.01). Mediating effect analysis showed that social support directly and positively predicted posttraumatic growth in thyroid cancer [ β=0.403, 95% CI (0.258, 0.547) ], and also affected patients' posttraumatic growth through three indirect pathways, namely social support → positive psychological capital → posttraumatic growth, with an effect value of 0.083 [95% CI (0.002, 0.173) ], accounting for 13.63% of the total effect, and social support → general self-efficacy → posttraumatic growth, with an effect value of 0.099 [95% CI (0.040, 0.166) ], accounting for 16.26% of the total effect, and social support → positive psychological capital → general self-efficacy → posttraumatic growth, with an effect value of 0.025 [95% CI (0.005, 0.051) ], accounting for 4.11% of the total effect. The total indirect effect accounted for 33.83% of the total effect. Conclusions:Social support can not only directly affect the post-traumatic growth of thyroid cancer patients, but also indirectly affect post-traumatic growth through the mediating effect of positive psychological capital and general self-efficacy.
