ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang on cardiac function and myocardial histopathological changes in rats with ischemic myocardial injury, and to observe the effect of myocardial microvascular density (MVD), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathways on myocardial microangiogenesis. MethodSeventy male SD rats were randomly selected, with six rats in the normal group. The remaining rats were fed a high-fat diet and injected with isoproterenol hydrochloride (ISO,80 mg·kg-1·d-1, 2 d) to induce a hyperlipidemia-based ischemic heart disease model. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into the model group, high, medium, and low dose groups of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang, and the metoprolol group. The high, medium, and low dose groups of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang were given Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang at 10.42, 5.21, 2.61 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively, while the metoprolol group was given metoprolol at 2.6 mg·kg-1·d-1. Both the normal and model groups were given an equivalent volume of physiological saline for 28 days. After the intervention, relevant tests were conducted, and serum was collected to measure heart function-related indicators. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining were performed on ventricular tissue to observe pathological changes under a light microscope. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the positive expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (CD31). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and VEGF. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PI3K/mTOR/HIF-1α/VEGF. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed significantly increased serum levels of LDH, CK, CK-MB, NT-proBNP, and VEGF (P<0.01), significantly increased collagen volume fraction (CVF) (P<0.01), significantly decreased MVD (P<0.01), and elevated protein expression levels of PI3K, mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the metoprolol group had significantly lower serum levels of LDH, CK, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP (P<0.01), significantly higher VEGF levels (P<0.01), significantly decreased CVF (P<0.01), significantly increased MVD (P<0.01), and significantly increased protein expression levels of PI3K, mTOR, and VEGF (P<0.01), with no statistically significant change in HIF-1α protein expression. Compared with the model group, the high and medium dose groups of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang had decreased serum levels of LDH, CK, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP (P<0.05, P<0.01), increased VEGF levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly reduced CVF (P<0.01), increased MVD (P<0.05, P<0.01), and significantly increased protein levels of PI3K, mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF (P<0.01). In the low dose group of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang, compared with the model group, serum levels of LDH and NT-proBNP were decreased (P<0.05), VEGF was increased (P<0.05). Moreover, CVF was decreased (P<0.05), and the protein expression levels of PI3K, mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF were significantly increased (P<0.01). ConclusionGualou Xiebai Banxiatang can improve cardiac function, reduce myocardial pathological damage, enhance endothelial cell function, promote myocardial microvascular formation, and upregulate the expression of PI3K, mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF proteins in myocardial tissue in rats with ischemic myocardial injury.

Objective:To compare the long-term prognosis between open versus closed reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures.Methods:The data of 402 consecutive patients with unstable pelvic fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated at The First Medical Center and The Fourth Medical Center, PLA General Hospital, and Strategic Support Force Specialty Medical Center from March 2011 to March 2017. This cohort was divided into 2 groups according to the reduction methods. In the open group of 194 cases subjected to open reduction and internal fixation, there were 133 males and 61 females with a median age of 43.0 (30.7, 51.0) years, and 35 cases of type B and 159 cases of type C by the Tile classification. In the closed group of 208 cases subjected to closed reduction and internal fixation, there were 115 males and 93 females with a median age of 45.5 (32.0, 56.0) years, and 40 cases of type B and 168 cases of type C by the Tile classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of 12-items Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) scores [physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS)] at the last follow-up, time from injury to operation, frequency of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy, intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion, operation time, and quality of postoperative fracture reduction.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the preoperative general data except for the gender, showing the 2 groups were comparable ( P>0.05). This cohort of 402 patients was followed up for 7.8(6.2, 8.8) years. At the last follow-up, the PCS [49.9 (45.4, 55.4) points] and MCS [53.1 (46.4, 57.6) points] in the closed group were significantly higher than those in the open group [48.2 (41.4, 52.7) and 46.5 (40.6, 53.6) points] ( P<0.05). The closed group incurred significantly shorter time from injury to operation [6 (5, 8) d] and operation time [180 (126, 260) min] than the open group [9 (6, 13) d and 240 (165, 334) min], significantly less intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion [1.5 (0, 4.0) U] than the open group [5.0 (2.9, 8.0) U], significantly higher frequency of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy [104.5 (85.0, 132.0) times] than the open group [21.0 (18.0, 26.0) times], and a significantly higher excellent and good rate of postoperative fracture reduction (92.8%, 193/208) than the open group (86.6%, 168/194) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of patients with unstable pelvic fractures, compared with open reduction and internal fixation, closed reduction and internal fixation can not only significantly shorten the waiting time and operation time of patients, reduce the transfusion during operation, but also achieve better fracture reduction to ultimately improve the quality of life of patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the early effectiveness of transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation assisted by augmented reality navigation system HoloSight (hereinafter referred to as "computer navigation system") in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was made in the 41 patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries who had been treated surgically with transiliac-transsacral screws between June 2022 and June 2023. The patients were divided into navigation group (18 cases, using computer navigation system to assist screw implantation) and freehand group (23 cases, using C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy to guide screw implantation) according to the different methods of transiliac-transsacral screws placement. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, causes of injuries, Tile classification of pelvic fracture, days from injury to operation, usage of unlocking closed reduction technique between the two groups ( P>0.05). The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, the guide wire adjustment times of each screw, and the incidence of complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. The position of the transiliac-transsacral screw was scanned by CT within 2 days after operation, and the position of the screw was classified according to Gras standard.
RESULTS:
The operation was successfully completed in both groups. The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, and the guide wire adjustment times of each screw in the navigation group were significantly less than those in the freehand group ( P<0.05). There were 2 cases of incision infection in the freehand group, and the incision healed by first intention after active dressing change; there was no screw-related complication in the navigation group during operation and early period after operation; the difference in incidence of complications between the two groups (8.7% vs. 0) was not significant ( P=0.495). According to the Gras standard, the screw position of the navigation group was significantly better than that of the freehand group ( P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Compared with the traditional freehand method, the computer navigation system assisted transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries has advantages of improving the accuracy of screw implantation and reducing radiation damage and the time of screw implantation.

Objective To investigate the effect of pathologically elevated-cyclic stretch induced by hypertension on mitochondrial biogenesis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and the role of PGC1α in this process. Methods The Flexcell-5000T stretch loading system in vitro was applied to VSMCs with a frequency of 1. 25 Hz and an amplitude of 5% or 15% to simulate the mechanical environment under normal physiological or hypertensive pathological conditions respectively. Western blotting and qPCR were used to detect the expression of PGC1α, citrate synthase and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in VSMCs under normal physiological or hypertensive pathological conditions. VSMCs were treated with PGC1α specific activator ZLN005 to promote PGC1α expression or specific interfering fragment siRNA to inhibit PGC1α expression in order to detect the effect on citrate synthase and mtDNA copy number. Results Compared with 5% physiological cyclic stretch, 15% pathologically elevated-cyclic stretch significantly suppressed the expression of PGC1α, citrate synthase and mtDNA copy number in VSMCs. Compared with control group, the protein expression of PGC1α was significantly decreased and increased respectively. When VSMCs transfected with PGC1α siRNA or incubated PGC1α activator ZLN005, the expression of citrate synthase and mtDNA copy number were also significantly down regulated and up-regulated in VSMCs accordingly. Under physiological cyclic stretch conditions, the protein level of PGC1α was significantly down-regulated by PGC1α siRNA, which also significantly down-regulated citrate synthase expression and mtDNA copy number. The protein expression of PGC1α was significantly up-regulated by ZLN005, which also enhanced the expression of citrate synthase and mtDNA copy number. Conclusions The pathological cyclic stretch induced by hypertension significantly down-regulated the expression of citrate synthase and mtDNA copy number via suppressing the expression of PGC1α, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction of VSMCs. PGC1α may be a potential therapeutic target molecule to alleviate the progression of hypertension.

To investigate the clinical,pathological and ETFDH gene mutation characteristics of riboflavinresponsive lipid storage myopathy(RRLSM) caused by ETFDH gene mutation.Methods The clinical and pathological data of 18 RR-LSM patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to December 2020 and confirmed by muscle biopsy pathology and gene testing were retrospectively analyzed. The Illumina NovaSeq highthroughput sequencing of peripheral blood DNA was performed for data reading and bioinformatics analysis.Results Among the 18 patients,there were 9 males and 9 females. The age of onset ranged from 9 to 60 years old(mean 29.83±13.44 years). The course of disease ranged from 1 month to 22 years(mean 4.5 years). The main clinical manifestations were proximal limb weakness and movement intolerance,accompanied by cervical extensor weakness in 14 cases,masticatory muscle weakness in 9 cases,dysphagia in 5 cases,nausea and poor appetite in 5 cases,and muscle pain and dyspnea in a few patients. Muscle pathology showed a large amount of lipid deposition in muscle fibers and a small amount of muscle fiber necrosis in 5 cases. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that the necrotic muscle fibers were mainly infiltrated by CD68(+) lymphophagocytes. All 18 patients were treated with riboflavin and had good efficacy. ETFDH gene mutation was detected in all cases in this study,including 15 cases(83.3%) with complex heterozygous mutation,2 cases(11.1%) with single heterozygous mutation,and 1 case(5.6%) with homozygous mutation. A total of 20 mutation sites were found,among which the most frequent mutation site was c.770A>G,accounting for 19.4%(7/36) of the allele,followed by c.1454C>G,accounting for 8.3%(3/36) of the allele. Conclusion RRLSM patients caused by ETFDH gene mutation are characterized by trunk axial muscle and masticatory muscle involvement. Muscle pathology found that there are a large number of lipid deposits in muscle fibers is an important basis for diagnosis. c.770A>G and c.1454C>G are the most common mutation sites of ETFDH gene in this grou.
