BACKGROUND:Irreducible femoral neck fracture was difficult to obtain anatomic reduction.As a new type of internal fixation,the femoral neck system is still blank for the treatment of non-anatomical reduced femoral neck fractures. OBJECTIVE:To explore the biomechanical stability of femoral neck system internal fixation under nonanatomical reduction in the treatment of femoral neck fractures based on finite element analysis. METHODS:CT data of the hip joint of a healthy female adult were obtained.Anatomical reduction of femoral neck fracture models with Pauwels angles of 30°,50°,and 70° were established using Mimics 21.0,Geomagic Wrap 2021,and SolidWorks 2020.The fracture proximal ends of the three anatomical reduction models were shifted upward by 2 mm along the fracture line,and three positive buttress models with different Pauwels angles were obtained.In the same way,three negative buttress models were acquired by shifting downward by 2 mm.SolidWorks 2020 was used to make the femoral neck system internal fixation,and the nine femoral neck fracture models were assembled with the femoral neck system.Then Ansys 19.0 was used for finite element analysis.The displacement distribution and maximum displacement,stress distribution and maximum stress of the femur and femoral neck system were recorded under 2100 N stress. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)When Pauwels angles were 30°,50°,and 70°,the maximum stresses of the femoral neck system appeared to be concentrated at the junction of the sliding hip screw and anti-rotation screw.The maximum femur stresses appeared to be concentrated in the medial cortex of the femur.The maximum displacement was concentrated at the upper of the femoral head and femoral neck system.(2)When Pauwels angles were 30° and 50°,the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the femoral neck system and femur were:negative buttress>anatomical reduction>positive buttress.(3)When Pauwels angle was 70°,the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the femoral neck system were:negative buttress>anatomical reduction>positive buttress;the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the femur were:negative buttress>positive buttress>anatomical reduction.(4)With the increase of Pauwels angle,the biomechanical advantage of the positive buttress was weakening.However,it was better than a negative buttress.When Pauwels angle was 30°,positive buttress was more stable than anatomical reduction.When Pauwels angle was 50°,the biomechanical difference between positive buttress and anatomical reduction became smaller.When Pauwels angle was 70°,the stability of anatomical reduction was slightly better than positive buttress.(5)If it was difficult to achieve anatomical reduction of femoral neck fracture during operation,but the positive buttress had been displaced within 2 mm,the femoral neck system could be used to offer stable mechanical fixation.It is necessary to avoid negative buttress reduction.

Objective To understand the growth and development status and differences between small for gestational age(SGA)and appropriate for gestational age(AGA)preterm infants during corrected ages 0-24 months,and to provide a basis for early health interventions for preterm infants.Methods A retrospective study was conducted,selecting 824 preterm infants who received regular health care at the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from July 2019 to July 2022,including 144 SGA and 680 AGA infants.The growth data of SGA and AGA groups at birth and corrected ages 0-24 months were analyzed and compared.Results The SGA group had significantly lower weight and length than the AGA group at corrected ages 0-18 months(P<0.05),while there were no significant differences between the two groups at corrected age 24 months(P>0.05).At corrected age 24 months,85%(34/40)of SGA and 79%(74/94)of AGA preterm infants achieved catch-up growth.Stratified analysis by gestational age showed that there were significant differences in weight and length at corrected ages 0-9 months between the SGA subgroup with gestational age<34 weeks and the AGA subgroups with gestational age<34 weeks and≥34 weeks(P<0.05).In addition,the weight and length of the SGA subgroup with gestational age≥34 weeks showed significant differences compared to the AGA subgroups with gestational age<34 weeks and≥34 weeks at corrected ages 0-18 months and corrected ages 0-12 months,respectively(P<0.05).Catch-up growth for SGA infants with gestational age<34 weeks and≥34 weeks mainly occurred at corrected ages 0-12 months and corrected ages 0-18 months,respectively.Conclusions SGA infants exhibit delayed early-life physical growth compared to AGA infants,but can achieve a higher proportion of catch-up growth by corrected age 24 months than AGA infants.Catch-up growth can be achieved earlier in SGA infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks compared to those with≥34 weeks.

Objective To investigate the attributable risk(AR)of Acinetobacter baumannii(AB)infection in criti-cally ill patients.Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted among adult patients in inten-sive care unit(ICU).Patients with AB isolated from sterile body fluid and confirmed with AB infection in each cen-ter were selected as the infected group.According to the matching criteria that patients should be from the same pe-riod,in the same ICU,as well as with similar APACHE Ⅱ score(±5 points)and primary diagnosis,patients who did not infect with AB were selected as the non-infected group in a 1:2 ratio.The AR was calculated.Results The in-hospital mortality of patients with AB infection in sterile body fluid was 33.3％,and that of non-infected group was 23.1％,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.069).The AR was 10.2％(95％CI:-2.3％-22.8％).There is no statistically significant difference in mortality between non-infected pa-tients and infected patients from whose blood,cerebrospinal fluid and other specimen sources AB were isolated(P＞0.05).After infected with AB,critically ill patients with the major diagnosis of pulmonary infection had the high-est AR.There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between patients in the infected and non-infec-ted groups(P＞0.05),or between other diagnostic classifications.Conclusion The prognosis of AB infection in critically ill patients is highly overestimated,but active healthcare-associated infection control for AB in the ICU should still be carried out.

Objective To study the change of lipidomics in chronic cadmium-exposed mice,thereby screening out lipid subclasses,lipid molecules and enriched metabolic pathways with significant differences.Methods Twelve SPF male C57BL/6J mice(8 weeks old)were randomly divided into the control group(normal water feeding)and the experimental group[cadmium water(0.6 mg/L of CdCl2)feeding],with 6 mice in each group.Mice were sacrificed after 6 months of cadmium exposure,and fresh liver tissues were collected immediately.Lipid oil red O staining and lipidomics analysis were performed on liver tissue.Results Compared with the control group,the liver tissue of mice in the experimental group did not appear red after lipid oil red O staining.Seventeen lipid subclasses with significant differences and 144 lipid molecules with significant differences were screened out by lipidomics.These lipid molecules with significant differences were enriched in glycerophospholipid metabolism,linoleic acid metabolism,alpha-linolenic acid metabolism,glycosylphosphati-dylinositol biosynthesis,glycerolipid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism by KEGG.Conclusion This study reveals that chronic cadmium exposure can induce the disorder of lipid subclasses and lipid metabolites in the liver of mice,which provides a basis for understanding the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by chronic cadmium exposure.

Objective:To assess the prevalence of exercise addiction among college students and explore its relationship with negative emotion and exercise frequency.Methods:A total of 837 college students were enrolled from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. The cross-sectional survey was administered using the exercise dependence scale revised(EDS-R) and the depression, anxiety, and stress scale 21 items (DASS-21). Data analysis was conducted with SPSS 26.0 software, including partial correlation analysis and hierarchical regression.Results:Among college students, the students in the group with risk and symptoms of exercise addiction accounted for 4.9%(EDS-R score (110.32±11.51), DASS-21-depression score 21.00(10.50, 25.00), DASS-21-anxiety score 21.00(11.50, 24.00), DASS-21-stress score 42.00(22.00, 47.50)). The students in the group without risk but with symptoms accounted for 42.53%(EDS-R score (60.02±12.91), DASS-21-depression score 8.00(1.00, 14.00), DASS-21-anxiety score 8.00(3.00, 14.00), DASS-21-stress score 15.00(4.00, 28.00)), and the students in the group without risk and symptoms accounted for 52.57%(EDS-R score (31.57±7.51), DASS-21-depression score 8.00(5.00, 12.00), DASS-21-anxiety score 7.00(3.00, 10.00), DASS-21-stress score 15.00(6.00, 21.00)). Exercise addiction scores were positively correlated with stress ( r=0.303, P<0.001), anxiety ( r=0.327, P<0.001), and depression ( r=0.259, P<0.001). The results of the hierarchical regression analysis also showed that the main risk variables were anxiety (△ R2=0.175, F=60.954) and exercise frequency (△ R2=0.044, F=21.401). Additionally, male college students had a higher risk of exercise addiction than female( P<0.01), but there was no gender difference in negative emotions( P>0.05). Conclusion:The college students were susceptible to developing an exercise addiction, especially among individuals with high exercise frequency and anxiety symptoms.It provides robust behavioral evidence in support of early detection and treatment of high-risk exercise addiction groups.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials with a multidimensional porous network structure, formed through coordination bonds with metal ions as nodes and organic ligands as connecting bridges. Due to their excellent physicochemical properties, MOFs have extensive applications in the field of biomedicine, ranging from antibacterials, drug carriers, imaging to sensors. Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs), commonly utilized drug carriers, can gain enhanced safety, targeted delivery, and superior therapeutic effect through endocytosis. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the factors influencing the endocytosis of nMOFs, focusing on three key physicochemical properties, particle size, morphology and surface modification. Based on different illness models, the review succinctly summarizes the latest advancements in understanding the endocytosis pathways of nMOFs while critically reflecting on the inherent limitations of current research methods. Lastly, the review offers valuable insights into future research methodologies and objectives, aiming to lay the groundwork and provide meaningful guidance for the synthesis and development of nMOFs as promising versatile drug carriers.

Neuro-developmental disorders(NDDs)are chronic developmental brain dysfunctions that affect multifunctional areas of the brain,caused by various genetic or acquired factors.Vitamin D(Vit D),as a neurosteroid hormone,can exert its function through both genetic and non-genetic mechanisms.Over the past few decades,studies on the relationship between Vit D levels and NDDs have found that Vit D deficiency during development is a risk factor for some NDDs.Vit D deficiency in early life can affect brain development,disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain,and reduce the body's and brain's antioxidant capacity.This review examines the mechanism of Vit D in the brain,explores the relationship between Vit D and neurodevelopmental disabilities,highlights recent research progress and identifies unsolved problems,in order to deepen understanding of the role of Vit D in NDDs and provide novel insights for the diagnosis and treatment of NDDs.

Objective To develop a prediction tool for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ER-CP)early biliary tract infection(PEEBI)in patients with choledocholithiasis,and assist clinical decision-making be-fore ERCP and early personalized intervention after ERCP.Methods An observational bidirectional cohort study was adopted to select inpatients with choledocholithiasis who underwent ERCP in a hospital.Directed acyclic graph(DAGs)and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)were used to predict PEEBI based on lo-gistic regression,and the models were compared and validated internally and externally.Results From January 1,2020 to September 30,2023,a total of 2 121 patients with choledocholithiasis underwent ERCP were enrolled,of whom 77(3.6％)developed PEEBI,mostly in the first 2 days after surgery(66.2％).The major influencing fac-tors for PEEBI were non-iatrogenic patient-related factors,namely diabetes mellitus(OR=2.43,95％CI:1.14-4.85),bile duct malignancy(OR=3.95,95％CI:1.74-8.31)and duodenal papillary diverticulum(OR=4.39,95％CI:1.86-9.52).Compared with the LASSO model,the DAGs model showed higher ability(3.0％)in com-prehensive discrimination(P=0.007),as well as good differentiation performance(D=0.133,P=0.894)and cal-ibration performance(x2=5.499,P=0.703)in external validation.Conclusion The DAGs model constructed in this study has good predictive performance.With the help of this tool,targeted early preventive measures in clinical practice can be taken to reduce the occurrence of PEEBI.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of swimming exercise(SE)on lipid metabolism in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)mice.Methods A total of 27 C57BL/6J mice were divided into the control group(normal diet),high fat diet(HFD)group and HFD+SE group,with 9 mice in each group.Twelve weeks later,liver tissues were collected for untargeted lipidomics detection by LC-MS.Dimensional statistical analysis of lipidomics profiles was carried out by constructing OPLS-DA model,and combined with the t-test,the lipids with OPLS-DA VIP>1,P<0.05 were screened out from all samples as significantly different lipids.Results There were 81 different lipids between HFD group and the control group;and there were 27 different lipids between HFD+SE group and HFD group.The different lipids mainly belong to glycerides,glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelins.Conclusion Lipid metabolism profile of NAFLD mice has been changed,and swimming exercise can improve lipid metabolism of NAFLD mice.

Aim To investigate the enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity of GanoExtra in combination with cyclophosphamide(CTX)on inhibiting lung metastasis and immune function in mice.Methods The CCK-8 method was used to verify the cytotoxic effects of Gano-Extra on MCF-7 and 4T1 tumor cells.In vivo experi-ment,a mouse model of lung metastasis of breast canc-er was established by injecting 4T1 tumor cells into the tail vein,which was divided into four groups including 4T1 model group,CTX group,GanoExtra group and GanoExtra+CTX group.The control group was set.After 21 days,the mice were euthanized under anes-thesia,and the body weight of the mice was recorded.Average lung index and spleen index were calculated.The mouse spleen lymphocyte transformation experi-ment was used to determine the activity of spleen cells.The NK cell activity assay was used to determine the activity of NK cells.Blood cells were determined in mouse blood samples.Flow cytometry was used to de-termine the levels of CD4+and CD8+T cells in blood samples.ELISA was used to measure the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum.HE staining was used to ob-serve the pathological morphological changes in tumors and various tissues;and CFSE staining was used to de-termine the proliferative effect of GanoExtra on CD8+cells.Results In vitro GanoExtra at 50 mg·L-1 sig-nificantly inhibited the activity of MCF-7 and 4T1 tumor cells.In the breast cancer pulmonary metastasis model,compared with the model group,the spleen in-dex and blood WBCs content were significantly re-duced,while the activity of NK cells,spleen cells,and the proportion of RBCs,CD 3+and CD 8+T cells in the blood were significantly increased.At the end of the treatment,compared with the CTX group,the number of lung metastases and lung index of the Gano-Extra+CTX group were significantly reduced,and the levels of HGB,CD8+cells,IL-6,and TNF-α in the blood of mice were significantly increased.GanoExtra at 10 mg·L-1 significantly promoted the proliferation of CD8+T cells in vitro.Conclusions GanoExtra can enhance the inhibitory effect of CTX on tumor metasta-sis,alleviate adverse reactions such as splenomegaly and pulmonary enlargement caused by CTX,and have a health-promoting function of promoting the prolifera-tion of CD8+T cells to enhance the immune efficacy of the body.
