Objective To investigate the relationship between cyclin A2 (CCNA2) and the prognosis of colon cancer, and its possible mechanism from the perspective of immune infiltration. Methods We downloaded the transcriptome data of colon cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Clinicopathological feature analysis and survival analysis were performed based on the expression levels of CCNA2. A total of 75 specimens of colon cancer and normal tissues were collected, and the expression level of CCNA2 was analyzed using immunohistochemical methods. Multivariate analysis was conducted to explore its relationship with clinicopathological features. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to assess the potential molecular functions of CCNA2 in colon cancer. CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to calculate the correlation between CCNA2 and immune-cell infiltration in colon cancer. Results Database and immunohistochemical analyses indicated that CCNA2 was expressed at a significantly higher level in colon cancer tissues than normal tissues (P<0.001). The overall survival, disease-specific survival, and progression-free interval were all longer in the group with high CCNA2 expression than the group with low expression (all P<0.05). In tumor tissues, the expression level of CCNA2 decreased with increased pathological and TNM stages (P<0.05). The expression level of CCNA2 in normal tissues was consistently lower than that in colon cancer tissues across all clinical stages (all P<0.001). GSEA suggested that Wnt/β-catenin, KRAS, and other signaling pathways were enriched when CCNA2 was lowly expressed. CIBERSORT analysis revealed an increase in the infiltration of immune cells such as regulatory T cells and macrophages M0 when CCNA2 expression was low. Conclusion CCNA2 is highly expressed in colon cancer and closely associated with grade of pathology and TNM stage. It may recruit regulatory T cells through the KRAS and Wnt/β-catenin pathways, thereby reducing immune-cell infiltration and promoting colon cancer progression, leading to poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique posi-tion in the diagnosis of scaphoid waist fracture and displacement.Methods The imaging and clinical data such as digital radiography(DR),CT of 93 wrist joint trauma patients were analyzed.The four position views including wrist joint anteroposterior+lateral view,scaphoid position,wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position,scaphoid position+wrist joint ulnar devia-tion supination 45° palmar oblique position were analyzed by three readers.The consistency of the evaluation among different readers and the diagnostic efficiency of the diagnosis of scaphoid fracture and displacement were compared.Results The inter-observer agreement,sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,and other diagnostic efficiency of scaphoid waist fracture and displacement was evaluated,wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position+scaphoid position and wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position were better than those of scaphoid position and wrist joint anteroposterior+lateral view.The combination of wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position+scaphoid position obtained the best diagnostic efficiency.Conclusion The wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position shows the long axis of the scaphoid,which has a high diagnostic efficiency in the diagnosis of scaphoid waist fracture and displacement and would be used as a useful supplement to other scaphoid imaging.

Objective:To observe the change of retinal artery angle in eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) and to analyze the relationship between retinal artery angle, ERM classification based on optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual acuity.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional clinical study. A total of 187 eyes in 187 patients diagnosed with monocular idiopathic ERM (IERM group) in Department of Ophthalmology of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital and the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University at Hangzhou from November 2018 to January 2023 were included in the study. The contralateral healthy eyes were included as the control group. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus photography, spectral-domain OCT, OCT angiography (OCTA) and axial length (AL) measurement. BCVA examination was performed using the standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area was measured by OCTA. The central macular thickness (CMT) was measured by spectral domain OCTaccording to the grading criteria of ectopic inner foveal layer (EIFL) was divided into stages 1 to 4 with 42, 45, 62, and 38 eyes, and the IERM group was subdivided into stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and stage 4 groups accordingly. Image J was used to measure the retinal artery angle and the 1/2 retinal artery angle on fundus images. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between BCVA and artery angle, 1/2 artery Angle, CMT, FAZ area and AL.Results:Compared with the control group, eyes in IERM group had worse BCVA ( t=9.727), thicker CMT ( t=12.452), smaller FAZ area ( t=-14.329), smaller artery angle ( t=-9.165) and smaller 1/2 artery angle ( t=-9.549). The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). With the increase of IERM stage, the artery angle and 1/2 artery angle decreased significantly ( F=21.763, 12.515; P<0.001). There was no significant difference in artery angle and 1/2 artery angle between stage 1 group and stage 2 group, and 1/2 arterial angle between stage 2 group and stage 3 group ( P>0.05). There were significant differences in artery angle and 1/2 artery angle between the other groups ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in CMT and logMAR BCVA among different classification subgroups in IERM groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in FAZ area between grade 3 group and grade 4 group ( P>0.05). There were significant differences in FAZ area between the other groups ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that decreased artery angle ( P=0.013) and increased CMT ( P<0.001) were associated with decreased BCVA. Conclusions:Compared with healthy eyes, the artery angle decreases significantly with the increase of ERM stage. Decreased retinal artery angle is associated with decreased visual acuity in IERM eyes.

Objective:To evaluate internal fixation via only the modified Stoppa approach in the treatment of central hip dislocation complicated with fracture of the posterior acetabular wall.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in the 13 patients with central hip dislocation and fracture of the posterior acetabular wall who had been treated at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Nanfang Hospital between February 2015 and February 2018. They were 10 men and 3 women, aged from 31 to 65 years (average, 46.7 years). All patients were treated with internal fixation via only the modified Stoppa approach. The reduction of double-column and posterior wall fractures was evaluated according to the X-ray Matta scoring system, as well as to the Wiberg central-edge (CE) angles between the vertical line of the center point of the femoral head and the lateral edge of the acetabulum and acetabular tolerance on the normal and affected sides immediately after operation; the hip function was evaluated by the modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel scoring system at 12 months after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for 16 to 52 months (average, 25.6 months). In all of them, reduction and fixation of central hip dislocation and acetabular fracture was completed successfully, and indirect reduction of posterior wall fracture and acetabular tolerance were satisfactory. Operation time ranged from 130 to 270 min, averaging 155.5 min; intraoperative blood loss from 600 to 5,600 mL, averaging 1,150.5 mL; intraoperative infusion of concentrated red blood cells from 2 to 12 U, averaging 6 U. By the X-ray Matta scoring system immediately after operation, anatomical reduction was achieved in 4 posterior wall fractures and satisfactory reduction in 9 ones. There was no significant difference between the normal and affected sides in the CE angle (43.53°±3.46° for the affected side versus 43.19°±3.28° for the normal side) or in the acetabular tolerance (76.56%±15.50% for the affected side versus 75.32%±16.24% for the normal side) ( P>0.05). The modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel scores at 12 months after operation ranged from 12 to 18 points, averaging 16.5 points; the hip function was assessed as excellent in 9 cases, as good in 3 and as fair in one. By the last follow-up, none of the 13 patients lost fracture reduction, and their internal fixation was firm with no loosening or breakage. Conclusion:In the treatment of central hip dislocation complicated with fracture of the posterior acetabular wall, internal fixation via only the modified Stoppa approach can lead to satisfactory fracture reduction, firm fixation, good hip joint tolerance, and fine clinical efficacy.

ObjectiveTo observe the difference in the efficacy of three kinds of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） injections on rat model of heart failure induced by transverse aortic constriction （TAC）， explore the TCM syndrome of the model based on the theory of correspondence of prescription and syndrome， and reveal the biological basis of prescription-syndrome from the perspective of metabolism. MethodRats were treated with TAC for modeling and were divided into Shenmai injection group （6.0 mL·kg^-1）， model group， Danhong injection group （6.0 mL·kg^-1）， Shenfu injection group （6.0 mL·kg^-1） and trimetazidine group （10 mg·kg^-1）， and sham operation group was set up as control. After drug intervention for 15 days， echocardiography， serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP） and myocardial histopathological staining were performed for each group， so as to compare the efficacy to select the effective injection. Colorimetry was used to detect the serum glucolipid metabolism after the intervention of the effective injection， and ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to observe the metabolites and related metabolic pathways in myocardial tissue. ResultCompared with the sham operation group， the left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （FS） in the model group decreased （P<0.01）， while the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter （LVIDd）， left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole （LVIDs） and NT-proBNP level increased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， LVEF and FS increased （P<0.01）， LVIDd， LVIDs and NT-proBNP level decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01） in Danhong injection group， NT-proBNP level in Shenfu injection group decreased （P<0.05）， LVIDd and NT-proBNP level increased （P<0.05， P<0.01） in Shenmai injection group， in trimetazidine group， LVEF and FS increased （P<0.01）， while LVIDs and NT-proBNP level decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum glucose， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in Danhong injection group and trimetazidine group were adjusted by callbacks （P<0.01， P<0.05）. There were the callback of 9 myocardial metabolites in Danhong injection group， including glycine， serine and threonine metabolism， glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism， glycerol phospholipid metabolism. There were the callback of 10 myocardial metabolites in trimetazidine group， including glycerol phospholipid metabolism. ConclusionThe efficacy of Danhong injection on heart failure model induced by TAC is significant and superior to Shenfu injection and Shenmai injection， suggesting that the model is closely related to heart-blood stasis. The biological mechanism of Danhong injection interfering with the model involves regulating the metabolic disorder of lipid， glucose， amino acid and butyric acid.

Chronic renal failure （CRF） is generally characterized by micro-inflammatory state， which can aggravate the CRF process in severe cases， leading to the deterioration of renal function， malnutrition， anemia and other complications. Therefore， it is of great significance to improve the micro-inflammatory state of CRF. "Deficiency of Qi and stagnation" is the basic pathogenesis of the micro-inflammatory state of CRF， which runs through the whole process of the disease and affects the formation and outcome of CRF in different forms. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has unique advantages in improving the micro-inflammatory state and enhancing the immunity of the body due to its advantages of syndrome differentiation and treatment， strengthening the righteousness and eliminating pathogenic factors. Therefore， the author systematically sorted out the relationship between micro-inflammatory state and CRF， understanding of micro-inflammatory state of CRF and its prevention and treatment of TCM by referring to relevant literature， based on the theory of "deficiency of Qi and stagnation"， and proposed that spleen and kidney failure （deficiency of Qi） is the origin of micro-inflammatory state of CRF， and blood stasis and poisonous evil （stagnation） is the target of its onset. Deficiency of Qi and stagnation adhered to each other， acted as cause and effect， and developed in a spiral manner throughout the development of the disease. TCM has the effects of nourishing the spleen and kidney， removing blood stasis and turbidity. By down-regulating C-reactive protein （CRP）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor alpha （TNF-α） and other micro-inflammatory indicators， it can eliminate the pathological wastes derived from spleen and kidney deficiency， reduce the micro-inflammatory state， restore the balance of Yin and Yang in the body to achieve the purpose of eliminating pathogens and protecting renal function， providing guidance for the clinical treatment of CRF.

The epidemic spectrum of acetabular fractures is changing with the changing population structure in China which has resulted in an increased proportion of the elderly patients. As acetabular fractures are intra-articular in nature, their management should follow the principles for intra-articular ones. However, it is still a great challenge for orthopedists to choose an appropriate treatment to deal with the fracture because of the pathophysiological changes in the elderly patients and the particular characteristics of acetabular fractures. Technical advances may offer a diversity of treatment options for geriatric acetabular fractures and demands for individualized management are increasing. In order to deepen the knowledge of geriatric acetabular fractures for orthopedists, this review expounds on the current achievements in the management and research concerning the fractures.
