ObjectiveTo explore whether miR-375 regulates the malignant characteristics of osteosarcoma (OS) by influencing the expression of MMP13. MethodsPlasmid DNAs and miRNAs were transfected into OS cells and HEK293 cells using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to measure the expression of miR-375 and MMP13 in OS patients and OS cells. Western blot was performed to analyze the MMP13 protein in the patients with OS and OS cells. The targeting relationship between miR-375 and MMP13 was analyzed by luciferase assay. Migration and invasion were analysed by heal wound and transwell assays, respectively. ResultsmiR-375 expression in OS tissues was lower than that in normal tissues. The expression of MMP13 was upregulated in OS tissues. MMP13 expression was negatively correlated withmiR-375 expression in patients with OS. Migration and invasion were significantly inhibited in OS cells with the miR-375 mimic compared with OS cells with the miRNA control. MMP13 partially reversed the inhibition of migration and invasion induced by miR-375 in the OS cells. ConclusionmiR-375 attenuates migration and invasion by downregulating the expression of MMP13 in OS cells.

Objective To observe the application effect and safety of continuous adductor canal block(ACB)with different doses of dexmedetomidine(DEX)combined with ropivacaine in postoperative analgesia of total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods Patients with TKA were enrolled as the research subjects and were divided into low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group by the random number table method.At 10 min before induction of general anesthesia,all the groups were given 20 mL of 0.5％ropivacaine loading dose for ACB,placed nerve block indwelling catheter,and started ACB analgesia pump after the end of surgery.Low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group were given 0.5,1.0 and 1.5 μg·kg-1 DEX+0.25％ropivacaine for a total of 100 mL,with a background dose of 4 mL·h-1and a control dose of 4 mL,and they locked for 30 min and continuously treated for 48 h.The surgical parameters and postoperative recovery quality of the two groups were compared.Visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate the pain status in resting state and motion state at 2,6,12,24 and 48 h after surgery.The number of effective compressions of self-controlled analgesia pump and the dosage of remedial analgesics at 48 h after surgery were counted and the safety evaluation was performed.Results No cases dropped out during treatment,and finally 30 cases were included in low-dose,middle-dose and high-dose groups,respectively.The first ambulation times in low-dose,middle-dose and high-dose groups were(54.22±8.37),(47.68±7.65)and(52.79±8.74)h;the time of active knee flexion 90° were(8.90±3.10),(7.20±2.70)and(8.60±2.40)d;the motion VAS scores were(3.86±0.59),(3.57±0.51)and(3.48±0.52)points at 48 h after surgery;the times of first analgesia pump compression within 48 h after surgery were(10.57±3.87),(12.45±3.63)and(13.36±3.56)h;the number of effective compressions of self-controlled analgesia pump were(6.11±2.18),(3.76±1.14)and(3.24±1.07)times;the remedial analgesia rates were 13.33％,0 and 0;at 6 h after surgery,quadriceps muscle strength scores were(4.81±0.21),(4.75±0.23)and(4.61±0.26)points,and the incidence rates of adverse drug reactions were 20.00％,6.67％and 6.67％,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the above indicators between low-dose group and middle-dose group except for the incidence of adverse drug reactions(all P＜0.05).There were statistical differences between low-dose group and high-dose group except for the incidence of adverse drug reactions(all P＜0.05),but there were no statistical differences between middle-dose group and high-dose group(all P＞0.05).Conclusion The use of 1.0 μg·kg-1DEX combined with ropivacaine for ACB in TKA patients can achieve good postoperative analgesia effect and it has small impact on muscle strength and has good safety,thus this dose can be used as a clinical recommended dose.

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.

This study design of specific identification primers for the ITS2 sequence of F. ussuriensis. The reaction system and conditions were optimized, and PCR-nucleic acid test strips were constructed to realize the visual detection of F. ussuriensis Bark. Through molecular cloning and sequencing technology, we constructed a positive control for F. ussuriensis DNA and formulated quality standards. The established method was evaluated for sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility, and the authenticity of the commercially available samples was identified. Results demonstrated that based on the ITS2 sequences, F. ussuriensis and its mixed forgeries could be distinguished. The PCR products of the authentic F. ussuriensis on test strips showed two bands in the T and C lines, while the pseudo products and negative control showed only one band in the C line, which was consistent with the results of agarose gel electrophoresis. The specificity was 100%, and the sensitivity of the PCR-nucleic acid test strip was up to 0.1 ng·μL^-1, which was 10 times higher than that of the gel electrophoresis assay. 11 out of 16 commercially available samples of F. ussuriensis were qualified, and 5 were unqualified. Collectively, the PCR-nucleic acid test strip method established in this study is specific, rapid, accurate and visualized, which can provide a new technical idea for the detection of F. ussuriensis.

Microsporidia is a group of intracellular parasitic eukaryotic microorganisms that pose threats to livestock fish production and human health, but there is no special chemo-therapeutic drug available for the treatment of microsporidia currently. In this study, sulfonamide derivatives of spectinomycin were designed by taking into consideration the low toxicity of spectinomycin and the favorable pharmaceutical properties of sulfonamides. Through the exploration of reaction conditions, a total of 21 target molecules were synthesized with a yield of 52%-74% and their chemical structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and high resolution mass spectrometry (HR MS). By screening in vitro, the host cell cytotoxicity and biological activity of target molecules to Encephalitozoon hellem, a representative of vertebrates infecting microsporidia, were studied. It was found that four target molecules each could inhibit or promote the proliferation of E. hellem. In this study, the synthesis method of sulfonamide derivatives of spectinomycin was established, and new compounds effective against E. hellem were discovered, which provided a new idea for the further derivatization of spectinomycin and the development of therapeutic drugs targeting microsporidia.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Ovarian cancer, notable for its severe prognosis among gynecologic cancers, has seen substantial progress in treatment approaches recently. Enhanced protocols in chemotherapy and the introduction of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for maintenance therapy have markedly improved outcomes for patients with specific genetic profiles, such as those positive for BRCA mutations or exhibiting homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). Additionally, the method of intraperitoneal chemotherapy administration has emerged as a valuable alternative to traditional transvenous routes, showing promise for wider clinical adoption. The field of surgery has also evolved, with increasing exploration into the benefits and feasibility of laparoscopic methods over more invasive traditional surgeries, aiming for complete tumor removal but with reduced patient impact. The hereditary nature of ovarian cancer underscores the importance of genetic testing, which has become integral in tailoring treatment strategies, particularly in determining suitability for PARP inhibitors.The formation of the East Asian Gynecologic Oncology Trial Group (EAGOT) aims to optimize treatment across Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan. The ovarian cancer committee of EAGOT shared the current policies, focusing on 5 topics: 1) strategies for maintenance therapy after initial surgery and chemotherapy, 2) drug regimens for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrence, 3) intraperitoneal chemotherapy, 4) laparoscopic surgery as an alternative to laparotomy, and 5) current status of genetic testing (BRCA, HRD, and panel tests) for ovarian cancer and its prospects. EAGOT’s multi-national trials aim to harmonize these evolving treatment strategies, ensuring that the latest and most effective protocols are accessible across the region, thereby significantly impacting patient outcomes in East Asia.
