Objective To investigate the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (caAMR) after kidney transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 61 patients who underwent renal biopsy and were diagnosed with caAMR. The patients were divided into caAMR group (n=41) and caAMR+TCMR group (n=20) based on the presence or absence of concurrent acute T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR). The patients were followed up for 3 years. The value of 24-hour urinary protein and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the time of biopsy in predicting graft loss was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The independent risk factors affecting caAMR prognosis were analyzed using the LASSO-Cox regression model. The correlation between grouping, outcomes, and Banff scores was compared using Spearman rank correlation matrix analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the renal allograft survival rates of each subgroup. Results The 3-year renal allograft survival rates for the caAMR group and the caAMR+TCMR group were 83% and 79%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting 3-year renal allograft loss was 0.83 ［95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70-0.97］ for eGFR and 0.78 (95% CI 0.61-0.96) for 24-hour urinary protein at the time of biopsy. LASSO-Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that eGFR≤25.23 mL/(min·1.73 m²) and the presence of donor-specific antibody (DSA) against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I might be independent risk factors affecting renal allograft prognosis, with hazard ratios of 7.67 (95% CI 2.18-27.02) and 5.13 (95% CI 1.33-19.80), respectively. A strong correlation was found between the Banff chronic lesion indicators of renal interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (P<0.05). Conclusions The presence of HLA class I DSA and eGFR≤25.23 mL/(min·1.73 m²) at the time of biopsy may be independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of caAMR.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Mingshi prescription regulates the retinal melanopsin-dopamine （Opn4-DA） axis in myopic mice to inhibit endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress in the retina and sclera， thereby delaying axial elongation associated with myopia. MethodsSixty 4-week-old male SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal group， a form-deprived myopia group （FDM group）， an intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells ablation group （ipRGCs group）， a Mingshi Prescription group （MSF group， 5.2 g·kg^-1）， and an ipRGCs + MSF group （5.2 g·kg^-1）. Except for the normal group， all other groups underwent FDM modeling. Additionally， the ipRGCs and ipRGCs + MSF groups received retinal ipRGC ablation. Three weeks after modeling， the MSF and ipRGCs + MSF groups were administered Mingshi prescription via continuous gavage for six weeks. After refraction and axial length were measured in all mice， eyeballs were collected along with retinal and scleral tissues. Pathological and morphological changes in the retina， choroid， and sclera were observed using periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. Western blot was employed to detect the relative protein expression levels of dopamine D1 receptor （DRD1）， C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP）， and glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78） in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Real-time PCR was used to detect the relative mRNA expression of Opn4， CHOP， and GRP78 in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Immunofluorescence staining （IF） was performed to detect the expression of Opn4 and DRD1 in retinal tissues. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the FDM group showed a significant myopic shift in refraction （P<0.05） and a significant increase in axial length （P<0.05）. The retinal layers were thinner， the number of ganglion cells was reduced， and collagen fibers in the sclera were loosely arranged with evident gaps. Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retinal and scleral tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the ipRGCs group exhibited further increases in myopic refraction and axial length （P<0.05）， more pronounced thinning and looseness in the retinal， choroidal， and scleral layers， lower expression of Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA in the retina （P<0.05）， and higher expression of CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA in the retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the MSF group showed significantly reduced refractive error and axial length （P<0.05）， with improved cellular number， arrangement， and thickness in ocular tissues， increased Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina （P<0.05）， and reduced CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Similarly， the ipRGCs + MSF group showed significant improvements in terms of the above items compared with the ipRGCs group （P<0.05）. ConclusionMingshi Prescription delays myopic axial elongation and refractive progression by regulating the Opn4-DA axis in the retina of myopic mice， thereby inhibiting ER stress in the retina and sclera. This intervention promotes Qi and blood nourishment of the eyes， softens the fascia， and restores ocular rhythm.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic surgery for the treatment of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) in athletes.Methods:A total of 18 FAI athletes (athlete group) who underwent hip arthroscopy in the Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from April 2014 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 12 males and 6 females, aged 20.44±3.45 years (range, 15-27 years). According to gender, age, body mass index and follow-up time, 36 non-athlete FAI patients (non-athlete group) were matched at a ratio of 1∶2 by propensity score matching method. There were 18 males and 18 females, aged 20.81±4.68 years (range 14-31 years). The hip pain visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris hip score (mHHS), hip outcome score-activity of daily living scale (HOS-ADL) and hip outcome score-sports scale (HOS-SS) scores were compared between the two groups before and after surgery. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were also compared between the two groups.Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 33.56±19.20 months (range, 24-77 months). The VAS score at the last follow-up decreased from 6.22±1.52 points before surgery to 1.28±1.67 points in the athletes group, and decreased from 6.28±1.37 points before surgery to 1.67±1.69 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The mHHS score at the last follow-up increased from 65.53±12.90 points before surgery to 92.28±13.59 points in the athletes group, and increased from 61.01±11.96 points before surgery to 86.82±11.98 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-ADL score at the last follow-up increased from 72.77±18.86 points before surgery to 94.00±11.36 points in the athletes group, and increased from 70.35±13.12 points before surgery to 90.78±9.36 points in non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-SS score at the last follow-up increased from 49.77±22.93 points before surgery to 87.28±17.62 points in the athletes group, and increased from 44.08±19.66 before surgery to 72.57±20.16 in the non-athletes group. The HOS-SS scores in the athletes group at the last follow-up were higher than those in the non-athletes group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, 61% (11/18) in the athletes group achieved MCID in HOS-ADL after surgery, which was lower than the non-athletes group's 81% (31/36), with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=4.339, P=0.037). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy in the treatment of FAI in athletes can achieve satisfactory pain relief and motor function.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus, characterized by neurodegeneration and microangiopathy. Currently, the treatment of DR is mainly focused on the management of late complications and has not achieved the desired clinical outcome. Evidence suggests that the PI3K/AKT pathway, as one of the important intracellular signaling pathways during the cell cycle, is involved in the whole process of DR pathogenesis. This article focuses on the structural composition, activation and blocking pathways, conduction pathways, regulatory mechanisms and biological functions of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to review its role in DR and to explore the potential of targeting the PI3K/AKT pathway for the treatment of DR.

Objective To analyze the causal relationship between serum sex steroid hormone levels and myopia with the Mendelian randomization(MR)methods.Methods Sex hormone genetic tools classified by sex were publicly availa-ble summarized statistical data from the Genome-wide association study(GWAS)of the UK Biobank Consortium on sex hormone-binding globulin(SHBG),total testosterone(TT),bioavailable testosterone(BT),and estradiol(E2).The GWAS summarized statistical data for myopia were obtained from publicly available data published by the FinnGen Consorti-um R10.All data were downloaded from April 18 to April 31,2024 from the corresponding databases and analyzed.All re-sults from the MR study were mainly analyzed by inverse-variance weighting(IVW)method.Results The study showed that a higher serum SHBG level in European increased the risk of myopia development in women(IVW,OR=1.152,95％CI:1.014-1.308,P=0.029);low serum TT level(IVW,OR=0.821,95％CI:0.697-0.967,P=0.018)and serum BT lev-el(IVW,OR=0.820,95％CI:0.691-0.972,P=0.022)increased the risk of myopia development in women.There was no causal relationship between serum SHBG,TT,and BT levels and myopia in men.There was no causal effect between E2 level and myopia in women and men.The stability of our findings was supported by sensitivity analysis.Conclusion In-creased serum SHBG level and decreased serum TT and BT levels are associated with an increased risk of myopia in women,whereas no such association is found in men.There is no causal relationship between E2 and myopia.

To investigate and analyze the causes of a human brucellosis epidemic in Chengjiang City in 2023 through field epidemiological investigation, and to provide a reference for future surveillance and control. A field epidemiological investigation of the case was carried out, with an active search of cases in epidemic areas. Samples from high-risk individuals, sheep, and dogs in the epidemic area were collected for brucellosis testing and pathogen isolation and culture, and the data were statistically analyzed by descriptive epidemiological method. One case of human brucellosis was detected in the outbreak, with smooth Brucella glabrata (ovine biotype 3) isolated from the patient's blood. Smooth Brucella glabrata antibodies were detected in two samples from the patient's dogs, with a positive rate of 16.67%. Tests for brucellosis in high-risk individuals and goats were negative, leading to a determination that this was an outbreak of ovine brucellosis transmitted from dogs to humans. This outbreak represented a rare instance of Brucella glabrata (ovine biotype 3) co-infected by humans and dogs. In dealing with the epidemic of human brucellosis, it is necessary to expand ideas and methods, strengthen the prevention and control of canine brucellosis, pay attention to the infection of dogs, and raise the protection awareness of dog farmers.

Hip surgery has been a slow-growing specialty in orthopedics and sports medicine. The development of imaging and minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery techniques has brought opportunities for this branch. Compared with other minimally invasive joint techniques, hip arthroscopy develops more slowly due to high equipment requirements, difficult operation and long learning curve. However, with continuous breakthroughs in disease diagnosis and surgical techniques, hip arthroscopy technology has stayed in a fast track for the past 20 years, and has become the most rapidly developed field in sports medicine. Especially in the past decade, China's hip arthroscopy society has developed rapidly in both surgery volumes and types. With an increasing population of hip doctors, the technical level and related research gap between China and the outside world narrowed. In some research fields, China even surpassed them. In general, both domestic and overseas studies show that the effect of hip arthroscopy is positive with significant improvement of symptoms in most patients. However, some patients complained poor recovery and residual hip pain, which indicates that hip diseases are still not totally understood, and the development of hip arthroscopy technology is still in an early stage. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and indication selection, detailed assessment of patients' exercise needs and psychological status, perfect preoperative planning, skilled surgical operation, and strict functional rehabilitation are the keys to success, which should be kept in mind by every hip arthroscopy doctor. They are also the main research direction for hip arthroscopy doctors. Continuous efforts on clinical and basic research should be made for the development of hip arthroscopy to establish a more optimized and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment system.

Femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition characterized by abnormal anatomical structures of the femoral head and/or acetabulum, leading to impingement between the proximal femur and the rim of the acetabulum during hip movement. This impingement causes damage to the acetabular cartilage, labrum, chronic hip pain, and limited range of motion. The diagnosis of this condition requires evaluation based on symptoms, physical signs, and imaging examinations. Among these, imaging plays a crucial role in assessing the pathology of FAI. In recent years, imaging techniques have contributed to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying FAI and the development of hip-preserving surgeries. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reference for the imaging-related diagnosis and measurement of FAI. X-ray films include pelvic anteroposterior view, false-profile view and 45°Dunn view. Doctors can understand the anatomical morphology of the femur and acetabulum by measuring relevant indicators in the X-ray films. For example, the α Angle of the femur >50°-60 ° in the pelvic anteroposterior view can indicate CAM-type FAI. However, the crisscross sign, posterior wall sign and LCE Angle >40° suggest Pincer type FAI. The ACE Angle, which reflects the anterior coverage of the acetabulum, was mainly measured on the false-profile view. The ACE Angle <20° is considered as insufficient anterior acetabular coverage, and acetabular dysplasia may be present.If it >40° is the anterior acetabular overcoverage, suggesting pincer-type FAI. The 45°Dunn view is mainly used to show the femoral head and neck deformity at 3 o'clock, where the femoroacetabular impingement is obvious. This position has a good indication effect for CAM-type FAI. CT can show the shape of the hip joint more intuitively by three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient's hip joint, which is convenient for surgical planning and postoperative evaluation. In addition, CT can also be used for the differential diagnosis of external hip impingement, such as ischiofemoral impingement, anterior inferior iliac spine impingement and greatertrochanteric impingement. MR Has excellent soft tissue imaging ability and can show other lesions that are difficult to be found by X-ray and CT, such as acetabular labrum and cartilage injury. It is essential for preoperative evaluation. Appropriate imaging examination plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of FAI.
