Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application effect of fracture liaison service(FLS)mode after percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)/percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP)for thoracolumbar fragility fracture.Methods A prospective study was conducted,and 762 patients with thoracolumbar fragility fracture who underwent PVP/PKP in the department of orthopedics in our hospital from January 2018 to May 2021 were included and divided into the control group(374 cases)and the observation group(388 cases)according to the random number table method.Patients in the control group received routine osteoporosis intervention,while the patients in the observation group implemented FLS through Blue Bull Medical Care or Chronic Health APP on the basis of the control group to systematically manage the osteoporosis treatment after discharge.The follow-up lasted for 12 months,and the 8-item Morisky medication adherence scale(MMAS-8)score,pain visual analogue scale(VAS)score,Oswestry disability index(ODI)score and Hamilton depression rating scale(HAMD)score at discharge,and 6 months and 12 months after discharge of the two groups were compared.The incidences of re-fracture and constipation 6 months and 12 months after discharge of the two groups were compared.The Cobb angle and bone mineral density T-value of injured vertebrae 6 months and 12 months after discharge of the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the MMAS-8 score,VAS score,ODI score or HAMD score at discharge of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The VAS score,ODI score and HAMD score 6 months and 12 months after discharge in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),the MMAS-8 score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the incidences of re-fracture and constipation in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the Cobb angle of injured vertebrae 12 months after discharge of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The bone mineral density T-value 12 months after discharge in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The FLS mode can significantly improve the medication compliance of patients,relieve pain,depression and constipation,improve bone mineral density,and significantly reduce the incidence of vertebral re-fracture in patients after vertebral augmentation surgery;however,it has no significant effect on the Cobb angle of injured vertebrae.

Officers and soldiers exposed to high temperature and high-humidity environments are highly susceptible to exertional heat illness and even heatstroke.Reports indicated that after conventional treatment,the heat endurance damage in officers/soldiers with exertional heat illness can persist for months or even years.Therefore,the Expert Group of Heatstroke Prevention and Treatment of Heatstroke of Chinese PLA has specially formulated a technical proposal for the reconstruction of heat endurance in officers/soldiers suffering from exertional heatstroke,aiming to provide a safeguard for reconstruction of heat endurance in affected personnel.This article mainly elaborates on the basic concepts,technical requirements,initiation timing,implementation assessment,and follow-up of the heat endurance reconstruction for officers/soldiers with exertional heatstroke.

Epidemiological data and clinical characteristics of patients with tick-borne diseases were analyzed to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.The data of 32 patients(epidemiology and clinical characteristics)treated for tick-borne diseases at Beijing Ditan Hospital from January 2013 to June 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.Of the 32 patients,17 were diagnosed with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS),5 with Lyme disease,and 10 with rick-ettsial disease.Disease was concentrated from May to Octo-ber each year.There were 14 local cases in Beijing(43.8％),with Pinggu District accounting for the highest proportion(4 cases,28.6％),16 imported cases from other provinces(50.0％),and 2 cases(6.3％)from people living abroad.The median time from disease onset to hospitalization was 8 days and the median length of hospitalization was 10 days.The mean age of patients with tick-borne diseases was 50.16±14.61(range,21-80)years.By occupation,farmers were at the greatest risk of tick-borne diseases(14 cases,43.8％).Erythema migrans(EM)was a typical skin lesion characteristic of Lyme disease,and fever was seen in all three groups,but mainly in patients with SFTS and rickettsial disease,who mainly presented with moderate fever.Decreased WBC and NEUT counts were most commonly seen in SFTS,whereas no WBC ab-normality was seen in patients with Lyme disease.Decreased EOS counts were seen in both SFTS and rickettsial disease,whereas no abnormality was seen in Lyme disease.Decreased PLT counts were typical of SFTS.Patients with rickettsial disease and SFTS showed significant liver damage with markedly elevated ALT and AST levels.Significant myocardial damage with ele-vated CK and CK-MB levels was seen in SFTS.Elevated CRP was mainly seen in rickettsial disease.Elevated PCT counts were mostly seen in rickettsial infections,followed by SFTS.The incidence of tick-borne diseases in Beijing continues to increase an-nually.Since diagnosis is often delayed,vigilant surveillance is key to improve diagnosis.Therefore,detailed epidemiological in-formation of each tick-borne disease based on clinical characteristics is needed to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.

This study, aiming at finding biomarkers which can assist in the diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia and analyzing the metabolic pathways of anti-RSV activity of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SG)., explores the improvement effect of SG on mice models infected by RSV with the metabolomics technology based on UPLC-Q-Exactive HF X-MS. Mice models affected by RSV are established by nasal drip method and the changes of body weight, rectal temperature and pathological damage of lung tissue are evaluated. The lung tissue samples of mice in each group are collected and analyzed by UPLC-Q-Exactive HF X-MS. The differential metabolites of SG drug intervention are explored by metabolomics technology, and the metabolic pathways regulated by SG are analyzed. The results show that SG can significantly improve the pathological state of the lung tissue of the mice and make its body weight and rectal temperature tend to be normal. In the lung tissue samples, 46 biomarkers, such as guanine, L-asparagine, and arachidonic acid, are screened for disease development in RSV model mice. SG improved RSV infection by recalling 22 potential biomarkers, such as uric acid, arachidonic acid, and alanine. The 22 potential markers mainly involved 11 abnormal metabolic pathways, including phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis, and arachidonic acid metabolism, alanine, aspartic acid and glutamate metabolism are closely related to the five metabolic pathways. SG improves RSV-infected mice mainly by regulating amino acids, lipids, cofactors and vitamins and nucleotide metabolites. All animal experiments were conducted under the guidance and approval of the Animal Ethics Review Committee of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. (approval number: SDUTCM20210311001).

Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) plays an essential role in the biosynthesis of anthocyanin and regulation of plant flower color. Based on the transcriptome data of Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) Wight, a full-length cDNA sequence of CtDFR gene was cloned by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). CtDFR contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 1 263 bp which encodes 420 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 47.5 kDa. The sequence analysis showed that CtDFR contains a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) binding domain and a specific substrate binding domain. The expression analysis indicated that CtDFR was highly expressed in red and purple flowers, and the relative expression levels were 4.04 and 19.37 times higher than those of white flowers, respectively. The recombinant CtDFR protein was expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3) using vector pET-28a-CtDFR and was purified. In vitro enzyme activity analysis, CtDFR could reduce three types of dihydroflavonols including dihydrokaempferol, dihydroquercetin, and dihydromyricetin to leucopelargonidin, leucocyanidin and leucodelphinidin. Subcellular localization analysis showed that CtDFR was mainly localized in the cytoplasm. These results demonstrate that CtDFR plays an important role in regulation of flower color in C. tubulosa and make a valuable contribution for the further investigation on the regulation mechanism of C. tubulosa (Schenk) Wight flower color.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and long-term prognostic factors of diabetic patients with low or intermediate complexity coronary artery disease (CAD) post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This was a prospective, single-centre observational study. Consecutive diabetic patients with SYNTAX score (SS)≤32 undergoing PCI between January and December 2013 in Fuwai hospital were included in this analysis. The patients were divided into two groups based on SS, namely SS≤22 group and SS 23-32 group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors related to poor 5-year prognosis. The primary outcomes were cardiac death and recurrent myocardial infarction, the secondary outcomes were all cause death and revascularization. Results: Of the 3 899 patients included in the study, 2 888 were men (74.1%); mean age was 59.4±9.8 years. There were 3 450 patients in the SS≤22 group and 449 patients in the SS 23-32 group. Compared with SS≤22 group, the incidence of revascularization was higher in SS 23-32 group (18.9% (85/449) vs. 15.2% (524/3450), log-rank P=0.019). There was no significant difference in all-cause death, cardiac death and recurrent myocardial infarction between the two groups (log-rank P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age (HR=1.05, 95%CI 1.02-1.08, P<0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HR=3.12, 95%CI 1.37-7.07, P=0.007) and creatinine clearance rate (CCr)<60 ml/min (HR=3.67, 95%CI 2.05-6.58, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for 5-year cardiac death, while left ventricular ejection fraction (HR=0.94, 95%CI 0.91-0.96, P<0.001) was a protective factor. Previous PCI (HR=2.04, 95%CI 1.38-3.00, P<0.001), blood glucose level≥11.1 mmol/L on admission (HR=2.49, 95%CI 1.32-4.70, P=0.005) and CCr<60 ml/min (HR=1.85, 95%CI 1.14-2.99, P=0.012) were independent risk factors for 5-year recurrent myocardial infarction. The SS of 23-32 was independently associated with risk of revascularization (HR=1.54, 95%CI 1.09-2.16, P=0.014), after adjusting for residual SS. Residual SS was not a risk factor for 5-year prognosis. Conclusions: In diabetic patients with low-or intermediate complexity CAD, SS 23-32 is associated with increased risk of 5-year revascularization; the clinical characteristics of the patients are associated with the long-term mortality and recurrent myocardial infarction, but not related to revascularization.

Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides (MOO) are an oral drug approved in China for the treatment of depression in China. However, MOO is hardly absorbed so that their anti-depressant mechanism has not been elucidated. Here, we show that oral MOO acted on tryptophan → 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) → serotonin (5-HT) metabolic pathway in the gut microbiota. MOO could increase tryptophan hydroxylase levels in the gut microbiota which accelerated 5-HTP production from tryptophan; meanwhile, MOO inhibited 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase activity, thus reduced 5-HT generation, and accumulated 5-HTP. The raised 5-HTP from the gut microbiota was absorbed to the blood, and then passed across the blood-brain barrier to improve 5-HT levels in the brain. Additionally, pentasaccharide, as one of the main components in MOO, exerted the significant anti-depressant effect through a mechanism identical to that of MOO. This study reveals for the first time that MOO can alleviate depression via increasing 5-HTP in the gut microbiota.
