Objective To investigate the clinical effect of unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)combined with 3D printing technology for the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture.Methods A total of 77 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures from October 2020 to April 2022 were included in the study,all of which were vertebral body compression fractures caused by trauma.According to different treatment methods,they were di-vided into experimental group and control group.Thirty-two patients used 3D printing technology to improve unilateral transpedicle puncture vertebroplasty in the experimental group,there were 5 males and 27 females,aged from 63 to 91 years old with an average of(77.59±8.75)years old.Forty-five patients were treated with traditional bilateral pedicle puncture vertebroplasty,including 7 males and 38 females,aged from 60 to 88 years old with an average of(74.89±7.37)years old.Operation time,intraoperative C-arm X-ray times,anesthetic dosage,bone cement injection amount,bone cement diffusion good and good rate,complications,vertebral height,kyphotic angle(Cobb angle),visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI)and other indicators were recorded before and after surgery,and statistically analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 6 to 23 months,with preoperative imaging studies,confirmed for thoracolumbar osteoporosis com-pression fractures,two groups of patients with postoperative complications,no special two groups of patients'age,gender,body mass index(BMI),time were injured,the injured vertebral distribution had no statistical difference(P＞0.05),comparable data.Two groups of patients with bone cement injection,bone cement dispersion rate,preoperative and postoperative vertebral body height,protruding after spine angle(Cobb angle),VAS,ODI had no statistical difference(P＞0.05).The operative time,intra-operative fluoroscopy times and anesthetic dosage were statistically different between the two groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the traditional bilateral puncture group,the modified unilateral puncture group combined with 3D printing technology had shorter operation time,fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy times and less anesthetic dosage.The height of anterior vertebral edge,kyphosis angle(Cobb angle),VAS score and ODI of the affected vertebrae were statistically different between two groups at each time point after surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures,3D printing technology is used to improve unilateral puncture PVP,which is convenient and simple,less trauma,short operation time,fewer fluoroscopy times,satisfactory distribution of bone cement,vertebral height recovery and kyphotic Angle correction,and good functional improvement.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechnism of abnormal stress promoting macrophage mobility inhibitory factor(MIF),cyclooxygenase 2(COX2)and prostaglandin E2(PGE2)in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis(TMJOA).Methods From January 2020 to December 2021,TMJOA and temporomandibular joint internal derangement(TMJID)patients(30 cases in each group,we divided the TMJOA into group TMJ Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ according to the stage)who were admitted to TMJOA special clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and accompanied by abnormal occlusion were collected.The pain score of the occlusal state of the patients was evaluated by visual analogue scale.The expression levels of MIF,COX2 and PGE2 in synovial fluid were detected by ELISA.We used the unilateral anterior crossbite for TMJOA(UAC)rats model(the grouped into:UAC-4 weeks,UAC-8 weeks and UAC-12 weeks group),and control group at the same time(grouped into:Ctrl-4 weeks,Ctrl-8 weeks and Ctrl-12 weeks group),each group had 6 rats.The expression levels of MIF,COX2 and PGE2 in serum and synovial fluid of rats were detected by ELISA.The expression levels of IL-1β,IL-18,MIF,COX2 and PTGER2 in temporomandibular joint of rats were detected by Western blotting.The fluid flow shear stress(FFSS)model of fibroblast-like synovial cells(FLSs)was established,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of above indexes were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting.Results Visual analogue scale evaluation showed that the pain score of TMJOA Ⅰ and Ⅱ group was significantly higher than that of TMJID(P<0.001).ELISA results showed that the expression levels of MIF,COX2 and PGE2 in synovial fluid in TMJOA group were higher than those in TMJID group(P<0.05),and the expression levels were the highest in TMJOA Ⅱ group.Compared with control group,the expressions of MIF,COX2 and PGE2 in serum and synovial fluid at UAC-4 weeks,8 weeks and 12 weeks were slightly higher,and significantly higher at UAC-8 weeks in rat TMJOA model(P<0.05).In addition,the expression trend of protein levels in temporomandibular joint tissues was similar,which showed higher expression levels of IL-1β,IL-18,MIF,COX2 and PTGER2(P<0.05).In the cell model where FFSS interfered with FLSs,with the increase of FFSS,cell with deformation,incomplete cell membrane and reduced number.Compared with control group,the expression levels of IL-1β,IL-18,MIF,COX2 and PGE2(PTGER2)of FLSs were increased in 1,3,5 and 10 dyn/cm2 intervention groups(P<0.05).Conclusion MIF,COX2 and PGE2 were highly expressed in temporomandibular joint synovial fluid of TMJOA patients with malocclusion.And these three factors were also highly expressed in serum and synovial fluid of UAC rats.The abnormal fluid shear stress promotes the secretion of MIF,COX2 and PGE2 by FLSs to participate in joint microenvironment inflammation and accelerate disease progression.

Both anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease and the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are common causes of pulmonary-renal syndrome. Organizing pneumonia (OP), a special pattern of interstitial lung disease, is extremely rare either in AAV or anti-GBM disease. We report an old woman presented with OP on a background of co-presentation with both ANCA and anti-GBM antibodies.

ABSTRACT: Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasm with diverse pathological types and complicated clinical manifestations. The fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (WHO CNS5), published in 2021, introduces major changes that advance the role of molecular diagnostics in meningiomas. To follow the revision of WHO CNS5, this expert consensus statement was formed jointly by the Group of Neuro-Oncology, Society of Neurosurgery, Chinese Medical Association together with neuropathologists and evidence-based experts. The consensus provides reference points to integrate key biomarkers into stratification and clinical decision making for meningioma patients.

Sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids are important components in Tripterygium plants, possessing a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammation immunosuppression, anti-tumor, anti-virus, and deinsectization, and are of great research value. They are composed of highly oxidized dihydro-β-furansquiterpene and pyridine dicarboxylic acid through ester bonds. According to the structural characteristics of pyridine dicarboxylic acid fragments, they can be divided into various structural subtypes. Up to now, more than 110 sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids have been isolated and identified from Tripterygium plants. This study reviewed the structural features and spectral(i.e., UV, IR, MS, and NMR) characteristics of sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids and summarized the structural elucidation process in detail to provide references for their further research and development.

This study aims to explore the effect of Sini Decoction on Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) signaling pathway in the mice with allergic asthma(AA). Forty-eight SPF-grade BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into a blank control group, a model group, a dexamethasone group, and high-, medium-, and low-dose Sini Decoction groups, with 8 mice in each group. The sensitization solution made of ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide powder was injected intraperitoneally in other groups except the blank control group which was injected with an equal volume of normal saline. The solution(or normal saline) was injected three times in total with an interval of 7 days. At the same time of sensitization, external cold stimulation and ice water were administered in a 4 ℃ climate box for 20 min every day. After modeling, the mice in each group were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage for 3 weeks. At the end of administration, pentobarbital sodium(30 mg·kg~(-1)) was used for anesthesia, and then the samples were collected for the determination of various indexes. The phenol red test was conducted to evaluate tracheal excretion function. The histopathological changes of lung tissue were observed via hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Masson staining was employed to reveal the deposition of blue collagen fibers around bronchi in lung tissue and the area occupied by blue collagen fibers was calculated. Immunofluorescence method was used to measure the expression of bronchial type Ⅰ collagen(Col-Ⅰ) and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA). The protein and mRNA levels of TLR4, NF-κB, cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1(caspase-1), and interleukin-13(IL-13) were determined by Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(real-time PCR), respectively. Compared with the model group, Sini Decoction significantly increased the phenol red excretion from trachea, lowered the lung inflammation score, reduced subepithelial collagen deposition, and decreased Col-Ⅰ and α-SMA levels. Furthermore, the decoction down-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of TLR4, NF-κB, caspase-1, and IL-13 in mouse lung tissue. In conclusion, Sini Decoction can improve air remodeling by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
