BACKGROUND:The proximal femoral nail antirotation is the preferred treatment for reverse osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures.Bone cement enhancement can reduce the probability of proximal femoral nail antirotation cut-out and cut-through,but there are no relevant biomechanical studies demonstrating the effect of bone cement content and location on the stress and displacement of the fracture end. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of different contents and locations of bone cement in cement-reinforced proximal femoral nail antirotation on stress,strain,and displacement of reverse osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly by finite element analysis. METHODS:A healthy adult female right femur model was extracted by Mimics software and smoothed in Geometric software.Five types of internal fixation methods of proximal femoral nail antirotation(cementless,cephalic spherical 1 mL,cephalic spherical 2 mL,cephalic spherical 3.4 mL,and cylindrical 5 mL around spiral blade)and femoral intertrochanteric fracture(AO subtype 31-A3.1 type)model were established in Solidworks software.After assembly,the total stress distribution,peak stress and displacement of the five models of implants with the femur were compared in Ansys software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The peak stresses of proximal femoral nail antirotation with head-end spherical 1 mL,head-end spherical 2 mL,head-end spherical 3.4 mL,and cylindrical 5 mL enhanced proximal femoral nail antirotation around the spiral blade respectively were 571.07 MPa(located at the junction of the spiral blade and the main nail),495.45 MPa(located at the junction of the spiral blade and the main nail),467.20 MPa(located at the junction of the main nail and the distal screw connection),642.70 MPa(located at the junction of the main nail and distal screw connection),and 458.58 MPa(located at the junction of the spiral blade and the main nail).(2)The maximum displacements of proximal femoral nail antirotation with head end sphere 1 mL,head end sphere 2 mL,head end sphere 3.4 mL,and with cylindrical 5 mL enhancement around the spiral blade were 9.260 5,7.589 1,7.316 8,6.790 7,and 6.615 7 mm,respectively,all of which were located at the proximal end of the femoral head.(3)These findings revealed that for reverse femoral intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation,the bone cement enhancement had significant mechanical stability compared with no enhancement,and the enhancement of the spiral blade 5 mL around the perimeter was the best,which is more preferable for aged unstable intertrochanteric fractures.

ObjectiveCongenital heart disease (CHD) is a common birth defect in children, with its incidence increasing annually. Because of their special health status, the vaccination situation for children with CHD has become a focal point of attention. This paper systematically reviews the current status of vaccination among children with CHD in China to identify existing issues in vaccination efforts for children with CHD, provide guidance for increasing vaccination rates among children with CHD, reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases, and provide ideas for subsequent research. MethodsLiterature on the vaccination of children with CHD in China was searched in both Chinese and English databases, including CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP, Chinese Biomedical and Web of Science, PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane Library. Relevant literature was identified based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data extraction was carried out to summarize the research results. ResultsA total of 15 studies were included. Three articles focusing on expert consensus (guideline recommendations) for vaccination of children with CHD in China all agreed that vaccination is both feasible and necessary for children with CHD. Systematic analysis found that the overall timely vaccination rate for children with CHD was between 34% and 50%, with a notable delay in vaccination. However, after professional outpatient assessment, the vast majority of children with CHD were advised to be vaccinated according to the national recommended schedule, with only about 2% of them being advised to delay vaccination. The proportion of children with CHD who reported suspected adverse events following immunization (AEFI) was low and not significantly different from that of healthy/control children. ConclusionThe safety of vaccinations for children with CHD in China is relatively high, but the total timely vaccination rate is currently low. In order to improve the coverage and timeliness of vaccination in children with CHD, it is recommended that relevant departments provide vaccination policy support. There is a lack of research on the effectiveness of vaccination in children with CHD, so further studies are urgently needed to further improve the vaccination strategy for children with CHD in China.

Objective:To explore the effects of applying peer-assisted learning (PAL) combined with modular teaching in physiology education, and to explore a more suitable mode for physiology teaching and learning.Methods:We selected a total of 89 undergraduate medical students of grade 2022 from a university offering physiology courses from February 28 to June 30, 2022. They were assigned using a random number table into experimental class (44 students) and control class (45 students). The experimental class adopted PAL with modular teaching, while the control class adopted the online and offline hybrid teaching method. The two classes were compared for teaching effects in terms of the completion rate of task points, final assessment scores, and questionnaire results. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform the independent samples t-test and the chi-square test. Results:The final exam scores for the objective questions of the experimental class and the control class were (43.04±3.25) and (40.24±8.64), respectively; the scores for the subjective items were (44.49±2.80) and (39.21±5.71), respectively; and the total scores were (87.53±4.24) and (79.40±12.08), respectively, all with significant differences between the two classes. There were significant differences in students' learning autonomy, micro-video preview rate, problem discussion participation rate, unit self-test participation rate, and after-class homework completion rate. The questionnaire survey showed that students in the experimental class believed that this teaching model was helpful for improving students' comprehensive qualities.Conclusions:PAL combined with modular teaching can effectively improve physiology teaching effects and students' learning autonomy and comprehensive abilities.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of Yinlai Decoction (YD) on the microstructure of colon, and activity of D-lactic acid (DLA) and diamine oxidase (DAO) in serum of pneumonia mice model fed with high-calorie and high-protein diet (HCD).
METHODS:
Sixty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 6 groups by the random number table method: normal control, pneumonia, HCD, HCD with pneumonia (HCD-P), YD (229.2 mg/mL), and dexamethasone (15.63 mg/mL) groups, with 10 in each group. HCD mice were fed with 52% milk solution by gavage. Pneumonia mice was modeled with lipopolysaccharide inhalation and was fed by gavage with either the corresponding therapeutic drugs or saline water, twice daily, for 3 days. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, the changes in the colon structure were observed under light microscopy and transmission electron microscope, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the protein levels of DLA and DAO in the serum of mice.
RESULTS:
The colonic mucosal structure and ultrastructure of mice in the normal control group were clear and intact. The colonic mucosal goblet cells in the pneumonia group tended to increase, and the size of the microvilli varied. In the HCD-P group, the mucosal goblet cells showed a marked increase in size with increased secretory activity. Loose mucosal epithelial connections were also observed, as shown by widened intercellular gaps with short sparse microvilli. These pathological changes of intestinal mucosa were significantly reduced in mouse models with YD treatment, while there was no significant improvement after dexamethasone treatment. The serum DLA level was significantly higher in the pneumonia, HCD, and HCD-P groups as compared with the normal control group (P<0.05). Serum DLA was significantly lower in the YD group than HCD-P group (P<0.05). Moreover, serum DLA level significantly increased in the dexamethasone group as compared with the YD group (P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in the serum level of DAO among groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
YD can protect function of intestinal mucosa by improving the tissue morphology of intestinal mucosa and maintaining integrity of cell connections and microvilli structure, thereby reducing permeability of intestinal mucosa to regulate the serum levels of DLA in mice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic action and mechanism of intrathecal 2R, 6R-hydroxynorketamine (2R, 6R-HNK) on spared nerve injury (SNI)-induced chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) in female mice. MethodsSNI was used to establish acute and chronic CNP models in female mice. The mice were randomly divided into different groups with administration of vehicle, 2R, 6R-HNK or S-ketamine (10 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection/i.p. or 7, 21 μmol/L intrathecal injection/i.t.) at 3 weeks after or 30 min/1 d before operation (n = 3 - 7 mice/group). The curative or preventive effect of 2R, 6R-HNK was evaluated by mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and the analgesic efficiency. Finally, immunofluorescence and RT-PCR of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn (SDH) were used to explore the possible mechanisms. ResultsCompared with vehicle, intrathecal injection of 2R, 6R-HNK largely reversed SNI-induced bilateral mechanical allodynia in a delayed-and-dose-dependent way. Among them, 21 μmol/L 2R, 6R-HNK reached its maximum analgesic efficiency (75.32±7.69) % at 2 d. Pre-intrathecal delivery of 2R, 6R-HNK also delayed the development of bilateral mechanical hypersensitivity 2 - 3 d induced by SNI. Mechanically, 2R, 6R-HNK reversed not only the abnormal excitability of neurons in bilateral DRG and superficial SDH, but also the upregulation of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and brain-derived nerve growth factor (BDNF) in DRG. ConclusionIntrathecal administration of 2R, 6R-HNK exerts an analgesic effect against CNP, probably via suppressing abnormal neuronal excitability in ascending pain pathway as well as down-regulating CGRP and BDNF expression in DRG neurons.
