Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.

Objective To analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with knee osteoarthritis,and to construct a nomogram prediction model in conjunction with multi-dimensional clinical indicators.Methods The clinical data of 234 pa-tients with knee osteoarthritis who were treated in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed,including 126 males and 108 females;age more than 60 years old for 135 cases,age less than 60 years old for 99 cases.Lysholm knee function score was used to evaluate the prognosis of the patients,and the patients were divided into good progno-sis group for 155 patients and poor prognosis group for 79 patients according to the prognosis.The clinical data of the subjects in the experimental cohort were analyzed by single factor and multiple factors.The patients were divided into experimental co-hort and verification cohort,the results of the multiple factor analysis were visualized to obtain a nomogram prediction model,the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),calibration curve and decision curve were used to evaluate the model's dis-crimination,accuracy and clinical benefit rate.Results The results of multivariate analysis showed that smoking,pre-treatment K-L grades of Ⅲto Ⅳ,and high levels of interleukin 6(IL-6)and matrix metallo proteinase-3(MMP-3)were risk factors for the prognosis of patients with knee osteoarthritis.ROC test results showed that the area under the curve of the nomogram model in the experimental cohort and validation cohort was 0.806[95％CI(0.742,0.866)]and 0.786[(95％CI(0.678,0.893)],re-spectively.The results of the calibration curve showed that the Brier values of the experimental cohort and verification cohort were 0.151 points and 0.134 points,respectively.When the threshold probability value in the decision curve was set to 31％,the clinical benefit rates of the experimental cohort and validation cohort were 51％and 56％,respectively.Conclusion The prognostic model of patients with knee osteoarthritis constructed based on multi-dimensional clinical data has both theoretical and practical significance,and can provide a reference for taking targeted measures to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of PD-1 monoclonal antibody therapy on the peripheral and local immune microenvironment of patients with microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H)rectal cancer.Methods:Samples of peripheral blood and tumor biopsy were collected from a patient with MSI-H rectal cancer before and after PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment.The samples were dissociated into single-cell suspensions using a combination of enzymatic and mechanical methods.Immune-related marker expression on peripheral and tumor-infiltrating im-mune cells was analyzed using single-cell mass cytometry(CyTOF).Results:According to the results of CyTOF analysis,CD45+immune cells in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues were categorized into 39 and 34 cell subsets,respectively,before and after PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment(the correlation is unclear and ambiguous).After PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment,differences were observed in the relative abundance of immune cell subsets:B cells significantly decreased in the peripheral blood,while B cells and γδT cells significantly increased in the tumor tissue;neutrophils significantly decreased,and the proportion of CD4+TEM cells in T cell subsets significantly increased,whereas CD4+Treg cells significantly decreased.Additionally,there were differences in the expression of immune-related markers in multiple immune cell subsets in both peripheral blood and tumor tissues,with CCR6 showing a significant increase in expression across all subsets,while ICOS and PD-1 expressions in T cell subsets were significantly reduced(the specific tissues for these cells or factors are unclear).Conclusion:After PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment in MSI-H rectal cancer,changes occurred in the composition of immune cells and the expression of immune-related markers in both peripheral blood and tumor tissues.This study reveals the dynamic adjustment of the immune microenvironment and provides important evidence for understanding the therapeutic mechanism of PD-1 monoclonal antibodies.

Purpose::The toughest challenge in pedestrian traffic accident identification lies in ascertaining injury manners. This study aimed to systematically simulate and parameterize 3 types of craniocerebral injury including impact injury, fall injury, and run-over injury, to compare the injury response outcomes of different injury manners.Methods::Based on the total human model for safety (THUMS) and its enhanced human model THUMS-hollow structures, a total of 84 simulations with 3 injury manners, different loading directions, and loading velocities were conducted. Von Mises stress, intracranial pressure, maximum principal strain, cumulative strain damage measure, shear stress, and cranial strain were employed to analyze the injury response of all areas of the brain. To examine the association between injury conditions and injury consequences, correlation analysis, principal component analysis, linear regression, and stepwise linear regression were utilized.Results::There is a significant correlation observed between each criterion of skull and brain injury ( p < 0.01 in all Pearson correlation analysis results). A 2-phase increase of cranio-cerebral stress and strain as impact speed increases. In high-speed impact (> 40 km/h), the Von Mises stress on the skull was with a high possibility exceed the threshold for skull fracture (100 MPa). When falling and making temporal and occipital contact with the ground, the opposite side of the impacted area experiences higher frequency stress concentration than contact at other conditions. Run-over injuries tend to have a more comprehensive craniocerebral injury, with greater overall deformation due to more adequate kinetic energy conduction. The mean value of maximum principal strain of brain and Von Mises stress of cranium at run-over condition are 1.39 and 403.8 MPa, while they were 1.31, 94.11 MPa and 0.64, 120.5 MPa for the impact and fall conditions, respectively. The impact velocity also plays a significant role in craniocerebral injury in impact and fall loading conditions (the p of all F-test < 0.05). A regression equation of the craniocerebral injury manners in pedestrian accidents was established. Conclusion::The study distinguished the craniocerebral injuries caused in different manners, elucidated the biomechanical mechanisms of craniocerebral injury, and provided a biomechanical foundation for the identification of craniocerebral injury in legal contexts.

Abstract: Objective　To construct SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain molecular probe for monoclonal memory B cell sorting and obtain RBD specific neutralizing antibodies from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of COVID-19 convalescents by single-cell sorting. Methods　The SARS-CoV-2 RBD sequence was downloaded from GenBank, and the Avi tag and 6-histidine tags were added at the C-terminal. After codon optimization, it was chemically synthesized, cloned into the pDRVI1.0 vector, expressed after transfection of 293F cells, and biotinylated consequently. RBD-specific B cells were sorted out with this probe1 from the PBMCs of convalescents recovered from COVID-19. After B cells were lysed, the variable regions of heavy chain and light chain were amplified, cloned into the antibody expression vector, and transfected into 293F cells to express the antibody. Then the antibody was purified from the supernatant using protein A column and SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus was used to test their neutralizing activity. Results　RBD-Avi probe was produced and successfully biotinylated sequentially with an efficiency of 30%-50%. Western blot analysis revealed that the biotinylated probe was recognized by the antibodies purified from COVID-19 convalescent plasma. Using this probe, 7 and 16 RBD-specific memory B cells were successfully isolated from the PBMCs of two convalescent individuals, accounting for 0.24% and 0.17% of the total cell population, respectively. After amplifying the variable regions of antibody heavy and light chains from the lysed B cells, 7 and 12 pairs of antibody heavy-light chains were obtained. A total of 16 antibodies were expressed in the convalescent individuals, and most of the purified antibodies showed neutralizing activity against the pseudovirus, with IC50 values of 6 antibodies below 1 μg/mL. The IC50 values of XJ-A9 and SCF-F1 against the wild-type pseudovirus were 0.07 μg/mL and 0.35 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion　The SARS-CoV-2 RBD molecular probe constructed in this study has good antigenicity, and the isolated antibodies present neutralizing activity against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus.

Objective: To get insight into the current practice of noise reduction effect of workers as they wore hearing protectors in different domestic enterprises and the possible affected factors. Methods: From October 2020 to April 2021, using a random sampling method, 1197 workers exposed to noise in petrochemical factories, textile factories, and parts manufacturing factories were selected as the study subjects. The noise reduction effect of hearing protectors worn by workers in daily use was tested using a hearing protector suitability testing system. The personal sound attenuation level (PAR) was compared among workers in three enterprises, Targeted intervention and repetitive testing were conducted for workers who did not meet the noise reduction effect required by the enterprise, and the changes in PAR of workers before and after the intervention were compared. The comparison of baseline PARs between two or more groups was performed using the Mann Whitney test, the comparison of baseline PARs with post intervention PARs was performed using the Wilcoxon signed rank sum test, and the comparison of qualitative data between two or more groups was performed using the Chi square test. Results: The median baseline PAR for all workers was 15 dB. Men, age<30 years old, education level at or above college level, working experience of 5 to 15 years, and those who used hearing protectors for 5 to 15 years had higher PARs, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The median difference in baseline PAR among workers from three enterprises was statistically significant (H=175.06, P<0.01). The median PAR of subjects who did not pass the baseline increased from 3 dB to 21 dB after intervention (Z=-27.92, P<0.01) . Conclusion: Some workers wearing hearing protectors do not meet the required PAR, and low PARs may be related to incorrect wearing methods and incorrect selection of hearing protectors. As a tool for testing, training, and assisting in selection, the hearing protector suitability testing system is of great significance for worker hearing protection.
