Objective:To explore the optimal insertion point of reverse sacral alar-iliac screws (RSAIS) in sacroiliac joint fixation for Tile type C pelvic fracture and the effectiveness of its preliminary clinical application.Methods:CT data from 90 patients with no abnormal pelvic structures in the Radiology Department database of Liyang People's Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected. There were 45 males and 45 females, aged 21-69 years [(45.5±6.4)years]. With CT digital reconstruction technology, the RSAIS fixation was simulated and the anterior insertable area was measured. Five insertion points were at the ilium-acetabular recess in the area superior posterior to the acetabulum (A1), at 1 cm (A2) and 2 cm (A3) posterior transversal to A1, at 1 cm (A4) and 2 cm (A5) inferior longitudinal to A1. With the entry point of S 1 pedicle screw as the exit point, the transverse and sagittal CT scans were conducted on 5 screw trajectories of anterior posterior lines (corresponding to five groups). The anatomical parameters of the screw trajectories, including the length, width and height of the screw trajectories were measured by two observers independently and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between the observers was analyzed. Tile type C pelvic fracture models were established from 20 3D-printed L 5-pelvis-femur specimens and divided into 5 groups, with 4 specimens in each group. The anterior rings were fixed with cross screws while the posterior rings with one RSAIS in each group using one of the aforementioned 5 screw trajectories. The overall displacement and local displacement of the sacroiliac space under 300 N vertical load in all the groups were measured with a biomechanical machine. The screw trajectory was designed according to the optimal insertion point shown in the above anatomical measurements and mechanical experiments. An RSAIS with a diameter of 7.3 mm was inserted percutaneously to treat a patient with Tile type C1 pelvic fracture. The fluoroscopy time of screw insertion and screw position were recorded as well as bone reunion, numerical rating scale for pain, Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) and Majeed functional score of pelvic fracture at the last follow-up. Results:The anterior insertable area was (1236.64±12.04)mm 2. The trajectory lengths for the three transversal insertion points gradually decreased from front to back, with A1 being the longest (104.9±10.4)mm, followed by A2 (98.5±9.8)mm and A3 the shortest (92.7±9.7)mm ( P<0.01), while there were no significant differences in the widths or heights ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the length, width or height of the screw trajectories of the three longitudinal insertion points (groups A1, A4 and A5) ( P>0.05). Compared with A4 and A5, A1 was farther from the margin of the acetabulum. The range of ICC of the anatomical parameters of the 3 screw trajectories measured by the two observers was 0.88-0.98, 95% CI 0.90, 0.96, and 95% CI 0.95, 0.99, indicating high consistency. After the screws were placed and fixed at the 3 transversal insertion points, the overall displacement and local displacement of the sacroiliac space of groups A1, A2 and A3 gradually increased from front to back. They were (2.93±0.09)mm and (1.49±0.14)mm in group A1, (3.14±0.12)mm and (1.63±0.54)mm in group A2 and (3.23±0.12)mm and (1.67±0.67)mm in group A3 respectively. There was a significant difference in the overall displacement among three groups ( P<0.01), while the local displacement of the sacroiliac space in group A1 was decreased compared with that of group A2 and A3 ( P<0.01). After the screws were placed and fixed at the 3 longitudinal insertion points, there were no significant differences in the overall displacement and local displacement of the sacroiliac space of group A1, A4 and A5 ( P>0.05). The fluoroscopy time of RSAIS inserted from A1 for the treatment of patients with Tile C1 pelvic fracture was 66 seconds, with fine screw position. At the last follow-up, the fracture was healed, with numerical rating scale for pain decreased from 6 points preoperatively to 1, ODI improved from 41 preoperatively to 18, and the Majeed functional score of 81 points. Conclusions:For Tile type C pelvic fracture, the screw trajectory from the iliac-acetabular recess located in the superior anterior part of the insertable area is the longest, with the best stability and relatively good safety of the screw, making it the optimal insertion point for RSAIS. The effect of preliminary clinical application of RSAIS from the optimal insertion point is satisfactory.

Objective:
This study’s objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of Pulsed Magnetic Therapy System (PMTS) in improving insomnia disorder.
Methods:
Participants with insomnia disorder were randomly assigned to receive either PMTS or sham treatment for four weeks (n= 153; PMTS: 76, sham: 77). Primary outcomes are the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores at week 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, 4 (treatment), and 5 (follow-up). Secondary outcomes are the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at baseline and week 4, and weekly sleep diary-derived values for sleep latency, sleep efficiency, real sleep time, waking after sleep onset, and sleep duration.
Results:
The ISI scores of the PMTS group and the sham group were 7.13±0.50, 11.07±0.51 at week 4, respectively. There was a significant group×time interaction for ISI (F3.214, 485.271=24.25, p<0.001, ηp 2=0.138). Only the PMTS group experienced continuous improvement throughout the study; in contrast, the sham group only experienced a modest improvement after the first week of therapy. At the end of the treatment and one week after it, the response of the PMTS group were 69.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.6%–79.0%), 75.0% (95% CI: 64.1%–83.4%), respectively, which were higher than the response of the sham group (p<0.001). For each of the secondary outcomes, similar group×time interactions were discovered. The effects of the treatment persisted for at least a week.
Conclusion
PMTS is safe and effective in improving insomnia disorders.

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of depression on serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),and prognosis in liver cancer patients. Methods A total of 251 patients with liver cancer undergoing hepatectomy were enrolled. The hospital anxiety and depression scale( HADS-D) and 9-item patients health questionnaire(PHQ9) were assessed for depression before 3 days for surgery. Patients were divided into depression group(n=95)and non-depression group(n=156) according to the scores. Preoperative serum levels of CRP,hs-CRP,ALT and AST were measured and compared between the depression and non-depression groups. Survival analysis Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the disease-free survival(DFS)and total survival(OS)between the two groups. Results The serum levels of CRP, hs-CRP,ALT and AST in the depression group were significantly higher than those in the non-depression group(P<0. 05). The follow-up of 3. 5-year showed that 164 patients(65 in depression group and 99 in non-depression group)had recurrence or metas-tasis and 47 patients(22 in depression group and 25 in non-depression group) died. The DFS and OS in the depression group were significantly lower than those in the non-depression group(P< 0. 05). Cox multiple regression analysis showed that liver function grading,BCLC staging and depression were independent risk factors for the prognosis of liver cancer. Spearman correlation analysis showed that patients′degree of depression was positively correlated with serum levels of CRP and hs-CRP(P<0. 05),DFS and OS were negatively correlated with serum levels of CRP and hs-CRP(P<0. 05). Conclusion Depression may mediate elevated serum levels of CRP and hs-CRP,maintain inflammatory response in patients,lead to increased liver function damage,elevate levels of ALT and AST,and thus adversely affect the prognosis of patients with liver cancer.

OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to compare the effect of D55 and D65 light sources on the visual colorimetry performance of dental students by using a homemade light-source shelf.
METHODS:
Two Vitapan 3D-Master shade guides were randomly selected. One set was used as shade guides. Ten commonly used shade tabs of 2L2.5, 2M2, 2R2.5, 3M2, 3R2.5, 3L1.5, 3R1.5, 3L2.5, 4R1.5, and 4L1.5 were selected from the other set with covered value marks and numbered from 1 to 10. After the colorimetric training, 49 undergraduate dental students were randomly divided into two groups. Each student randomly selected two of the 10 shade tabs, and the colors were subsequently matched under D65 and D55 light sources from a distance of approximately 40 cm. The average color difference (ΔE) between the color selected by each participant and the actual color of shade tabs was calculated. Paired t test was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS:
The ΔE values between the color selected by each participant and the actual color of the shade tabs under the D55 light source varied from 0 to 6.540. The average value was 2.501. The ΔE values between the color selected by each participant and the actual color of the shade tabs under the D65 light source varied from 0 to 6.610. The average value was 2.530. No statistically significant difference was observed between the results under the two light sources (P=0.921).
CONCLUSIONS
Both D55 and D65 daylight lamps can be used for daily dental colorimetry. These two different color temperatures showed no significant difference.
