ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effectiveness and safety of stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation for scapulohumeral periarthritis. MethodsUsing prospective randomised controlled trial method， 60 cases of patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were collected and randomly divided into 30 cases each in control group and trial group. Both groups of patients were orally treated with celecoxib， on the basis of which the control group was treated with traditional bonesetting manipulation once every other day for 14 days， while the trial group was treated with stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation once every 3~5 days for 14 days. Both groups were treated for 2 courses. The main observation indexes were pain visual analogue scale （VAS） score and shoulder pain and dysfunction index （SPADI）， which were evaluated once before treatment and after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. The secondary effectiveness indicators included the university of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale （UCLA）， traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score （including symptom scores as joint pain， pain in a fixed place， activity limitation， local stiffness）， and serum interleukin （IL-6） and tumour necrosis factor α （TNF-α） levels before and after the treatment， in order to evaluate the clinical effectiveness， and to record the adverse reactions that occurred in the process of diagnosis and treatment. ResultsCompared with the groups before treatment， the pain VAS score， SPADI and scores of joint pain， pain with a fixed place， activity limitation and local stiffness were lower， UCLA score was higher， and serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were lower at 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups （P＜0.05）. When comparing the two groups between the groups at 2 and 4 weeks of treatment， the pain VAS score， SPADI and TCM scores of each symptom in the study group were lower than those in the control group， the UCLA score was higher than those in the control group （P＜0.01）， and the serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were lower than those in the control group at 4 weeks of treatment （P＜0.01）. The clinical effectiveness rate of the study group was 66.67%， which was significantly higher than that of the control group， which was 40.00% （P = 0.038）. No adverse reactions were seen in both groups during the study. ConclusionCompared with the traditional massage manipulation， the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis with stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation has more advantages in relieving pain symptoms， reducing inflammatory reaction， and promoting the recovery of shoulder joint function.

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.

ECG signals and sleep monitoring parameters complement each other and can be used for qualitative diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome and cardio-related diseases.However,due to the limitations of the instrument volume and the detection environment,it is often challenging to integrate these two functions in practical applications.In this paper,a 12-lead dynamic electrocardiograph integrated with sleep monitoring is designed.The system's volume is reduced by combining the integrated ECG simulation front end with a miniature sensor.The system achieves the extraction,conditioning,and calculation of 12-lead ECG signals and sleep-related parameters and writes the data to a memory card in real time,which offers convenience for users and doctors in the diagnostic process.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing(CPET)refers to a method of measuring various indicators of the human body under gradually increasing exercise loads to objectively evaluate cardiopulmonary reserve function and exercise endurance.Currently,CPET detection systems primarily measure subjects'ECG,respiratory flow,oxygen(O2),and carbon dioxide(CO2)parameters.This paper introduces a non-invasive multi-parameter exercise cardiopulmonary function evaluation system that incorporates impedance cardiography monitoring.The system integrates impedance cardiography monitoring with conventional CPET detection parameters and detects changes in the hemodynamic parameters of the body during exercise,aiding in the evaluation of exercise capacity.Additionally,the system features a portable design with Wi-Fi wireless transmission,which enhances its applicability.

Tbx18,Wt1,and Tcf21 have been identified as epicardial markers during the early embryonic stage.However,the gene markers of mature epicardial cells remain unclear.Single-cell transcriptomic analysis was performed with the Seurat,Monocle,and CellphoneDB packages in R software with standard pro-cedures.Spatial transcriptomics was performed on chilled Visium Tissue Optimization Slides(10x Genomics)and Visium Spatial Gene Expression Slides(10x Genomics).Spatial transcriptomics analysis was performed with Space Ranger software and R software.Immunofluorescence,whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization and X-gal staining were performed to validate the analysis results.Spatial transcriptomics analysis revealed distinct transcriptional profiles and functions between epicardial tissue and non-epicardial tissue.Several gene markers specific to postnatal epicardial tissue were identified,including Msln,C3,Efemp1,and Upk3b.Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed that cardiac cells from wildtype mouse hearts(from embryonic day 9.5 to postnatal day 9)could be categorized into six major cell types,which included epicardial cells.Throughout epicardial development,Wt1,Tbx18,and Upk3b were consistently expressed,whereas genes including Msln,C3,and Efemp1 exhibited increased expression during the mature stages of development.Pseudotime analysis further revealed two epicardial cell fates during maturation.Moreover,Upk3b,Msln,Efemp1,and C3 positive epicardial cells were enriched in extracellular matrix signaling.Our results suggested Upk3b,Efemp1,Msln,C3,and other genes were mature epicardium markers.Extracellular matrix signaling was found to play a critical role in the mature epicardium,thus suggesting potential therapeutic targets for heart regeneration in future clinical practice.

Osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly will seriously reduce their quality of life and life expectancy. For osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, spinal reconstruction is necessary, which should comprehensively consider factors such as the physical condition, fracture type, clinical characteristics and osteoporosis degree. While there lacks relevant clinical norms or guidelines on selection of spinal reconstruction strategies. In order to standardize the concept of spinal reconstruction for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, based on the principles of scientificity, practicality and progressiveness, the authors formulated the Clinical guideline for spinal reconstruction of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in elderly patients ( version 2022), in which suggestions based on evidence of evidence-based medicine were put forward upon 10 important issues related to the fracture classification, non-operative treatment strategies and surgical treatment strategies in spinal reconstruction after osteoporosis thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, hoping to provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is one of the effective treatments of medial knee arthritis and an important step in the treatment of knee arthritis. However, with the popularization of OWHTO, more and more of its related complications have been reported, including under- and over-correction of the alignment, tilted joint line, fracture of the cortical hinge, and changes in the posterior tilt of the tibial plateau. This paper reviewed the domestic and foreign research literature on the OWHTO treatment of knee arthritis to analyze the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications, treatment strategies and prevention methods concerning the complications in the treatment of OWHTO. A comprehensive understanding of the prevention and treatment methods of the complications can help avoid and reduce some of the complications so that OWHTO can be popularized more widely.

Objective:To investigate the analgesic effect of intravenous anesthesia induction combined with anterior quadratus lumborum block (AQLB)and related hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing laparoscopic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy (RPN).Methods:A total of 116 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors in Jinhua Central Hospital from August 2021 to February 2022 were randomly divided into two groups with 58 cases in each group. Patients in control group received intravenous anesthesia , while those in study group received intravenous anesthesia induction with AQLB. The analgesic effect was evaluated at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after the operation. The hemodynamics were monitored at the time of entering the operating room (T 0), 3 min after induction of anesthesia (T 1), at the beginning of the operation (T 2), after the operation (T 3), and leaving the operating room (T 4). Microcirculation was assessed at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after operation. Cognitive function was assessed 30min before anesthesia, 6 h, 24 h, and 72 h after operation. Results:At 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after operation, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of the resting (quiet state) pain in the study group were 3.2±1.2, 2.6±0.3,2.0±0.4, 1.5±0.4 and 0.8±0.2, which were significantly lower than those in control group (4.0±1.7, 3.4±0.7, 2.9±0.5, 1.7±0.5 and 1.2±0.3) ( t=2.93, P=0.004; t=8.00, P<0.001; t=10.07, P<0.001; t=2.38, P=0.019; t=8.45, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at T 0 between two groups ; no significant difference in the heart rate at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4. There were significant differences in MAP levels at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4 between study group [(80.0±8.0)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (84.4±8.4)mmHg, (80.4±5.7)mmHg, (86.4±4.7)mmHg and control group (77.1±7.5)mmHg, (88.0±8.6)mmHg, (83.0±7.7)mmHg, (92.2±6.2) mmHg; t=2.01, P=0.046; t=2.28, P=0.024; t=2.07, P=0.041; t=5.68, P<0.001]. At 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after operation, the morphological scores of tube loops in the study group were 1.0±0.2, 0.8±0.2, 0.7±0.1 and 0.7±0.1, which were lower than those in the control group (1.1 ±0.2, 0.9±0.2, 0.8±0.2 and 0.8±0.1; t=2.69, P=0.008; t=2.69, P=0.008; t=3.41, P=0.001; t=5.39 , P < 0.001).
