OBJECTIVE To develop a long-acting light-protective nanogel with both physical barrier and chemical clearance functions， and evaluate its performance. METHODS The photoprotective nanogel composed of mussel mucin and sodium hyaluronate was constructed based on a fullerenol-cerium oxide composite nano system， namely fullerenol-cerium oxide nanogel （FCN）， and was characterized. The antioxidant capacity of FCN was evaluated using in vitro free radical scavenging experiments； its UV shielding ability was assessed by using an SPF value detector； its biosafety was assessed according to the requirements of the Guidelines for Drug Safety Evaluation； skin adhesion was assessed using small animal 3D live imaging technology； its sun protection ability was assessed through skin sunscreen detection and histopathological observation. RESULTS The average particle sizes of cerium oxide and fullerenol nanoparticles in FCN were about 20 and 10 nm， respectively， and FCN exhibited good UV absorption and free radical scavenging abilities. SPF value of FCN was 58.95±0.82， and the ultraviolet A protection level value was 6.21±0.15. No pathogenic colonies such as Staphylococcus aureus， were detected in the nanogel， and the contents of lead， arsenic， mercury and cadmium all met the standards for pharmaceutical excipients； FCN group did not show any irritating reactions such as erythema， edema， or desquamation； blood biochemical indicators of the FCN group were within the normal reference range. The material clearance rate of mice in the artificial sweat flushing group was less than 30%， while the material clearance rate of mice in the dry cleaning group reached about 92%. The mice in the protective group did not show obvious erythema or ulcer formation throughout the experiment. Histopathology showed that the fibers were arranged in an orderly manner， and the number of collagen fibers was close to that of the control group. CONCLUSIONS The FCN formulation constructed in this study meets the relevant requirements of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia， has good safety and skin compatibility， and achieves dual synergistic protection of UV shielding and free radical scavenging.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of early versus delayed closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 468 children with supracondylar humerus fractures, who were admitted between January 2020 and December 2023 and met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 187 children were treated during 12 hours after injury (early operation group) and 281 were treated after 12 hours (delayed operation group). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in the gender, age, injury mechanism, fracture side and type, while there was significant difference in interval from injury to operation ( P<0.05). The operative outcomes, including the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, the length of hospital stay, fracture healing time, elbow function assessed by Flynn criteria at 3 months after operation, and complications, were compared. RESULTS: Compared to the delayed operation group, the early operation group demonstrated significantly shorter operation time and less intraoperative blood loss ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). All children were followed up 3-12 months. The follow-up time was (6.7±2.9) months in the early operation group and (6.9±2.8) months in the delayed operation group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the fracture healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 3 months after operation, the early operation group exhibited superior Flynn elbow functional outcomes to the delayed operation group ( P<0.05). In the early operation group, there was 1 case of fracture non-union and 3 cases of cubital varus deformity after operation. In the delayed operation group, there was 1 case of nerve injury, 7 cases of fracture non-union, and 12 cases of cubital varus deformity after operation. There was significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). One case of the early operation group and 10 cases of the delayed operation group underwent secondary operation, showing no significant difference in the incidence of secondary operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION For pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, early closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation can reduce operation time, minimize intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications, and improve the functional recovery compared to delayed operation.

From June 16 to 30, 2023, men who have sex with men (MSM) who had visited Voluntary Counseling Testing (VCT) clinics in the Luohu, Futian and Nanshan districts of Shenzhen were included in this study to analyze their awareness of Mpox and the influencing factors. The mean age of the 262 MSM was (34.78±8.94) years, with the majority being unmarried (75.2%) and 79.0% confirmed to be infected with HIV. The awareness rates for five primary indicators, current status of Mpox, pathogen and source of infection, mode of transmission, population susceptibility, clinical manifestations and treatment were 68.4%, 84.7%, 60.3%, 87.8%, and 52.5%, respectively. The awareness rates for five secondary indicators, earliest transmission location (44.7%), main mode of transmission (54.2%), role of masks (46.9%), drug accessibility (46.6%), and self-limiting nature (38.2%) were all below 60%. The MSM population in Shenzhen perceived their likelihood of being infected (2.76±1.32) and discriminated against (3.87±1.26) as relatively low. The logistic analysis showed that the high school or vocational school education ( OR:3.094, 95 %CI:1.180-9.299), college or above education ( OR:5.360, 95% CI:2.159-15.501), and higher scores on questions affecting learning or work ( OR:2.196, 95% CI:1.409-3.599) were promoting factors for Mpox awareness, while higher scores on questions concerning the possibility of Mpox mortality ( OR:0.591, 95% CI:0.432-0.791) was the hindering factor for Mpox awareness.

Background: and Purpose To examine the clinical and safety outcomes after endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) with different anesthetic modalities. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis using data from the Endovascular Treatment for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion (ATTENTION) registry. Patients were divided into two groups defined by anesthetic modality performed during EVT: general anesthesia (GA) or non-general anesthesia (non-GA). The association between anesthetic management and clinical outcomes was evaluated in a propensity score matched (PSM) cohort and an inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) cohort to adjust for imbalances between the two groups. Results: Our analytic sample included 1,672 patients from 48 centers. The anesthetic modality was GA in 769 (46.0%) and non-GA in 903 (54.0%) patients. In our primary analysis with the PSM-based cohort, non-GA was comparable to GA concerning the primary outcome (adjusted common odds ratio [acOR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82 to 1.25; P=0.91). Mortality at 90 days was 38.4% in the GA group and 35.8% in the non-GA group (adjusted risk ratio, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.08; P=0.44). In our secondary analysis with the IPTW-based cohort, the anesthetic modality was significantly associated with the distribution of modified Rankin Scale at 90 days (acOR: 1.45 [95% CI: 1.20 to 1.75]). Conclusion In this nationally-representative observational study, acute ischemic stroke patients due to BAO undergoing EVT without GA had similar clinical and safety outcomes compared with patients treated with GA. These findings provide the basis for large-scale randomized controlled trials to test whether anesthetic management provides meaningful clinical effects for patients undergoing EVT.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of robot-assisted percutaneous screw fixation in LC-II pelvic fractures.Methods:A total of 46 patients with Young-Burgess LC-II pelvic fractures, who underwent surgical treatment at Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital from December 2019 to June 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 27 were male and 19 were female, with an average age of 39.78±15.11 years (range, 19-68 years). The causes of injury were traffic accidents (28 cases) and fall from height (18 cases); all the cases were Type B pelvic fractures according to the Tile classification. The patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach: the robot group (26 cases) treated by Tianji robot-assisted percutaneous screw fixation, and the actual screw group (20 cases) treated by minimally invasive internal fixation under fluoroscopic guidance. The surgical time, blood loss, number of guide wire adjustments, the success rate of initial screw placement, postoperative vertical and horizontal displacement, and postoperative pelvic fracture reduction quality (Matta score) were compared between the two groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess patients' pain levels before and one week after surgery, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated using the Majeed score at the final follow-up. The occurrence of complications such as infection, vascular and nerve injury, and screw breakage was all recorded during the follow-up.Results:All patients successfully underwent the surgery and were followed up for an average of 11.93±3.09 months (range, 5-15 months). A total of 84 percutaneous screws were applied in the 46 cases, with 47 screws in the robot group and 37 screws in the actual screw group. The surgical time and number of guide wire adjustments were 81.27±4.90 minutes and 0.58±0.76 times in the robot group, 102.95±8.73 minutes and 5.80±2.24 times in the actual screw group, with significant differences ( t=-10.68, P<0.001; t=-11.13, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of intraoperative blood loss and postoperative vertical and horizontal displacement ( P>0.05). The success rate of initial screw placement in the robot group was 98% (46/47, 44 excellent, 2 good, 1 poor), while in the actual screw group, it was 86% (32/37, 27 excellent, 5 good, 5 poor), with a significant difference (χ 2=4.05, P=0.044). The VAS scores at one week postoperatively were 3.38±1.20 in the robot group and 6.80±1.61 in the actual screw group, with a significant difference ( t=-8.25, P<0.001). The excellent rate of Matta score after surgery was 92% in the robot group and 85% in the actual screw group, and the Majeed scores at the final follow-up were 86.54±3.10 and 85.7±2.20 respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients achieved primary healing; no complications such as infection or screw breakage occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion:Robot-assisted percutaneous access screw fixation for LC-II pelvic fracture can achieve accurate reduction of pelvic fracture, and is characterized by short operative time, low radiation exposure, and high safety and accuracy.
