BACKGROUND:The optimal surgical technique for treating posterior cruciate ligament tibial attachment point avulsion injuries is debatable.With the application and maturity of arthroscopic surgery,it has great prospects in the diagnosis and treatment of posterior cruciate ligament tibial attachment point avulsion fractures. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application and progress of arthroscopic technology in the treatment of posterior cruciate ligament tibial attachment point avulsion fractures,including different arthroscopic treatment methods,surgical approach,tibial tunnel design,suture material selection,and internal fixation implant selection. METHODS:Relevant literature was retrieved from PubMed,Web of Science,and ScienceDirect databases through computers.The search period was from January 2003 to November 2023.Chinese search terms were"posterior cruciate ligament,posterior cruciate ligament,avulsion fracture,arthroscopy".English search terms were"posterior cruciate ligament,injury,fracture,tibia,arthroscopic,operation,fixation,treatment".Totally 97 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Arthroscopic technology provides a reliable treatment for posterior cruciate ligament tibial attachment point avulsion fractures.Arthroscopic treatment for avulsion fractures of the tibial attachment point of the cruciate ligament can be divided into several categories based on the type of approach,suture material,and the number of approaches used for suture and fixation of the tibial tunnel:arthroscopic suture fixation combined with autologous graftenhancement and reconstruction,arthroscopic multicross band suture bridge fixation,arthroscopic strong thread fixation,and arthroscopic direct anterior posterior suture suspension fixation.In various studies,commonly used outcome measures include knee range of motion,Lysholm scale,International Knee Documentation Committee,and KT-2000 arthrometer.Studies have shown that at the last follow-up,the score results showed significant improvement compared to surgery.In the radiological follow-up results of various arthroscopic techniques,all studies have shown satisfactory results.During the follow-up process,all types of patients who received arthroscopic treatment for cruciate ligament tibial attachment point avulsion fractures did not experience serious complications,such as traumatic arthritis,neurovascular injury,perioperative wound infection,thrombosis,and nonunion of fractures.

Purpose: Biomarkers predicting clinically significant prostate cancer (sPC) before biopsy are currently lacking. This study aimed to develop a non-invasive urine test to predict sPC in at-risk men using urinary metabolomic profiles. Materials and Methods: Urine samples from 934 at-risk subjects and 268 treatment-naïve PC patients were subjected to liquid chromatography/mass spectrophotometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics profiling using both C18 and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column analyses. Four models were constructed (training cohort [n=647]) and validated (validation cohort [n=344]) for different purposes. Model I differentiates PC from benign cases. Models II, III, and a Gleason score model (model GS) predict sPC that is defined as National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)-categorized favorable-intermediate risk group or higher (Model II), unfavorable-intermediate risk group or higher (Model III), and GS ≥7 PC (model GS), respectively. The metabolomic panels and predicting models were constructed using logistic regression and Akaike information criterion. Results: The best metabolomic panels from the HILIC column include 25, 27, 28 and 26 metabolites in Models I, II, III, and GS, respectively, with area under the curve (AUC) values ranging between 0.82 and 0.91 in the training cohort and between 0.77 and 0.86 in the validation cohort. The combination of the metabolomic panels and five baseline clinical factors that include serum prostate-specific antigen, age, family history of PC, previously negative biopsy, and abnormal digital rectal examination results significantly increased AUCs (range 0.88–0.91). At 90% sensitivity (validation cohort), 33%, 34%, 41%, and 36% of unnecessary biopsies were avoided in Models I, II, III, and GS, respectively. The above results were successfully validated using LC-MS with the C18 column. Conclusions Urinary metabolomic profiles with baseline clinical factors may accurately predict sPC in men with elevated risk before biopsy.

Aim To explore the effects of Lycium berry seed oil on Nrf2/ARE pathway and oxidative damage in testis of subacute aging rats. Methods Fifty out of 60 male SD rats, aged 8 weeks, were subcutaneously injected with 125 mg • kg"D-galactosidase in the neck for 8 weeks to establish a subacute senescent rat model. The presence of senescent cells was observed using P-galactosidase ((3-gal), while testicular morphology was examined using HE staining. Serum levels of testosterone (testosterone, T), follicle-stimulating hormone ( follicle stimulating hormone, FSH ) , luteinizing hormone ( luteinizing hormone, LH ) , superoxide dis-mutase ( superoxide dismutase, SOD ) , glutathione ( glutathione, GSH) and malondialdehyde ( malondial-dehyde, MDA) were measured through ELISA, and the expressions of factors related to aging, oxidative damage, and the Nrf2/ARE pathway were assessed via immunohistochemical analysis and Western blotting. Results After successfully identifying the model, the morphology of the testis was improved and the intervention of Lycium seed oil led to a down-regulation in the expression of [3-gal and -yH2AX. The serum levels of SOD, GSH, T, and FSH increased while MDA and LH decreased (P 0. 05) . Additionally, there was an up-regulated expression of Nrf2, GCLC, NQOl, and SOD2 proteins in testicular tissue ( P 0. 05 ) and nuclear expression of Nrf2 in sertoli cells. Conclusion Lycium barbarum seed oil may reduce oxidative damage in testes of subacute senescent rats by activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.
