Objective:To investigate the efficacy of combined repair therapy using recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (R-bFGF) gel and silver ion dressing on the donor site of patients with hand trauma undergoing skin grafting.Methods:Eighty patients with hand trauma who underwent skin grafting at Lishui Central Hospital between October 2020 and October 2021 were enrolled in this study. Using a simple random grouping method, the patients were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group in a 1:1 ratio, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received conventional vaseline gauze treatment, while the observation group was treated with a combination of R-bFGF gel and silver ion dressing. After 2 weeks of treatment, the repair effects of both groups were evaluated. Before and after treatment, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) scores and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were compared between the control and observation groups. Additionally, wound healing time, granulation tissue growth time, wound epithelium formation time, and dressing change times as well as total active motion of the fingers were evaluated and compared between the two groups.Results:The repair effect in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group ( Z = 4.92, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the recovery of hand function in the observation group was notably better than that in the control group ( Z = 4.31, P < 0.05). The CD-RISC score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(77.54 ± 11.35) points vs. (70.61 ± 9.72) points, t = 2.93, P < 0.05]. Additionally, the VAS score, wound healing time, granulation tissue growth time, wound epithelium formation time, and dressing change times in the observation group were significantly lower or fewer than those in the control group [(4.95 ± 1.13) points vs. (5.52 ± 1.24) points, (10.43 ± 1.65) days vs. (15.54 ± 1.71) days, (7.42 ± 2.35) days vs. (11.56 ± 2.71) days, (10.25 ± 2.47) days vs. (12.82 ± 2.64) days, and (2.12 ± 0.63) times vs. (3.35 ± 0.86) times, t = -2.15, -13.60, -7.30, -4.50, -7.30, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The combined use of R-bFGF gel and silver ion dressing effectively enhances the repair outcomes of skin donor sites, thereby improving the psychological well-being and reducing pain perception in patients with hand trauma. This therapeutic approach markedly promotes the prognosis and functional recovery of these patients, offering valuable clinical reference for the treatment of hand injuries.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common clinical autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovitis and pannus formation. In late stage, irreversible destruction and deformation of bone and joint may occur. In this paper, the authors believe that kidney deficiency and essence deficiency is the core mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis bone destruction, and its disease evolution law is summarized as "marrow reduction, flesh flaccid, collaterals blocked". On the basis of modern medical understanding of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis, it is considered that the mechanism in Chinese medicine of "marrow reduction, flesh flaccid, collaterals blocked" ultimately leads to bone destruction, is similar to that in the western medicine of abnormal differentiation of osteoclasts, high expression of nuclear factor-κB receptor activator of ligand, and abnormal expression of inflammatory factors. This point of view may provide a more comprehensive and scientific understanding of the key pathogenic mechanism of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of moderate-to-severe pulmonary ventilation dysfunction in occupational pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as "pneumoconiosis") patients complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods A total of 136 male pneumoconiosis patients complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis suffering different degrees of pulmonary ventilation dysfunction were selected as the study subjects using the judgmental sampling method. Patients were divided into mild dysfunction and moderate-to-severe dysfunction groups based on the degrees of pulmonary ventilation dysfunction. Clinical data from patients of these two groups were collected, and influencing factors of pulmonary ventilation dysfunction were analyzed. Results The prevalence of mild dysfunction and moderate-to-severe dysfunction among the study subjects was 39.0% and 61.0%, respectively. The proportion of patients with moderate-to-severe pulmonary ventilation dysfunction increased with the progression of pneumoconiosis (P<0.05). Patients in moderate-to-severe dysfunction group had higher rates of dyspnea, elevated C-reactive protein, coexisting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a history of lung infections within the past two years compared with those in the mild dysfunction group (all P<0.05). The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the degree of pneumoconiosis, complicated with COPD, and a history of lung infections within the past two years were risk factors for moderate-to-severe pulmonary ventilation dysfunction (all P<0.05). Specifically, higher degree of pneumoconiosis was associated with a greater proportion of moderate-to-severe dysfunction, and patients complicated with COPD or had a history of lung infections within the past two years were more likely to experience severe pulmonary ventilation dysfunction. Conclusion The degree of pneumoconiosis, complicated with COPD, and a history of lung infections within the past two years are influencing factors of moderate-to-severe pulmonary ventilation dysfunction in patients with pneumoconiosis combined with pulmonary tuberculosis. Early detection of pneumoconiosis progression, timely diagnosis of COPD and lung infections, and appropriate treatment such as antifibrotic agents, inhaled bronchodilators, and anti-infective therapies are recommended.

Objective:To explore the clinical application pathway of the CT generative adversarial networks (CTGANs) algorithm in mandibular reconstruction surgery, aiming to provide a valuable reference for this procedure.Methods:A clinical exploratory study was conducted, 27 patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January 2022 and January 2024 and required mandibular reconstruction were selected. The cohort included 16 males and 11 females, with the age of (46.6±11.5) years; among them, 7 cases involved mandibular defects crossing the midline. The CTGANs generator produced 100 images, and the mean squared error (MSE) was calculated for differences between any two generated images. Preoperative cone-beam CT data from 5 patients were used to construct a labeled test database, divided into groups: normal maxilla, normal mandible, diseased mandible, and noise (each group containing 70 cross-sectional images). The CTGANs discriminator was used to evaluate the loss values for each group, and one-way ANOVA and intergroup comparisons were performed. Using the self-developed KuYe multioutcome-option-network generation system (KMG) software, the three-dimensional (3D) completion area of the mandible under cone-beam CT was defined for the 27 patients. The CTGANs algorithm was applied to obtain a reference model for the mandible. Virtual surgery was then performed, utilizing the fibular segment to reconstruct the mandible and design the surgical expectation model. The second-generation combined bone-cutting and prebent reconstruction plate positioning method was used to design and 3D print surgical guides, which were subsequently applied in mandibular reconstruction surgery for the 27 patients. Postoperative cone-beam CT was used to compare the morphology of the reconstructed mandible with the surgical expectation model and the mandibular reference model to assess the three-dimensional deviation.Results:The MSE for the CTGANs generator was 2 411.9±833.6 (95% CI: 2 388.7-2 435.1). No significant difference in loss values was found between the normal mandible and diseased mandible groups ( P>0.05), while both groups demonstrated significantly lower loss values than the maxilla and noise groups ( P<0.001). All 27 patients successfully obtained mandibular reference models and surgical expectation models. In total, 14 162 negative deviation points and 15 346 positive deviation points were observed when comparing the reconstructed mandible morphology with the surgical expectation model, with mean deviations of -1.32 mm (95% CI:-1.33- -1.31 mm) and 1.90 mm (95% CI: 1.04-1.06 mm), respectively. Conclusions:The CTGANs algorithm is capable of generating diverse mandibular reference models that reflect the natural anatomical characteristics of the mandible and closely match individual patient morphology, thereby facilitating the design of surgical expectation models. This method shows promise for application in patients with mandibular defects crossing the midline.
