Objective To explore the advantages of modified Paine point puncture for intraventricular intracranial pressure(ICP)monitoring probe implantation during decompressive craniectomy(DC)for severe traumatic brain injury.Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with severe traumatic brain injury admitted from April 2020 to April 2022 in Jiaxing Second Hospital were retrospectively collected.All patients underwent DC combined with ICP monitoring probe implantation.According to different ICP monitoring methods,they were divided into observation group(23 cases)and control group(25 cases).The observation group underwent the implantation of the intracerebroventricular ICP monitoring probe by puncture at the modified Paine point in the DC incision,while the control group underwent implantation of intracerebroventricular ICP monitoring probe by drilling of the skull through contralateral incision of DC at the Kocher point.The preoperative general data,operation time,postoperative mannitol dose and duration,ICP monitoring duration,postoperative rebleeding rate,intracranial infection rate and Glasgow outcome score(GOS)at 3 months after the operation were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistical difference between the two groups in general data,mannitol dosage,mannitol duration and ICP monitoring duration(P>0.05).The operation time,postoperative rebleeding rate and intracranial infection rate in observation group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).In the GOS score at 3 months after the operation,there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions Compared with the traditional implantation of intraventricular ICP monitoring probe through Kocher point through skull drilling with contralateral incision of DC,the implantation of intraventricular ICP monitoring probe through modified Paine point in the DC incision for severe traumatic brain injury can shorten the operation time and lower the postoperative rebleeding rate and intracranial infection rate.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

ObjectiveTo analyze the measures and effects of comprehensive noise control in an automobile engine manufacturing enterprise. Methods An automobile engine manufacturing enterprise with noise exposure work-sites was selected as the research subject. The noise hazard status of the enterprise was investigated. The noise hazard exceeded the national standard in work-sites was comprehensively treated. The treatment effect was analyzed. Results A total of 395 work-sites exposed to noise were detected. Among them, 16 work-sites exceeded the national noise standard, with the rate of 4.1%. The work-sites with noise exceeding the national standard were mainly in the machine workshop and the casting workshop, with normalization of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level to a nominal eight hours working day (L_EX,8h) ranging from 86.8 to 89.2 and 85.2 to 90.2 dB(A), respectively. In addition, the classification of occupational noise exposure of the mold protection group in the casting workshop was level Ⅱ, and classification of occupational noise exposure of other work-sites with excessive national standard was grade Ⅰ. After the enterprise implemented noise control measures such as process reform, equipment replacement, sound insulation, noise reduction, sound absorption, and vibration isolation, the L_EX,8h of nine positions were lower than those before rectification ［(86.7±1.1) vs (83.3±1.3) dB(A), P<0.01］. Conclusion The use of comprehensive control measures can achieve the purpose of reducing noise from the sources, and can be used for reference by relevant enterprises with noise hazards.

ObjectiveAngle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is one of the major eye-blinding diseases. To diagnose ACG, it is crucial to examine the anterior chamber angle. Current diagnostic tools include slit lamp gonioscopy, water gonioscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Slit lamp and water gonioscopy allow convenient observation of the anterior chamber angle, but pose risks of invasive operation and eye infections. UBM can accurately measure the structure of the anterior chamber angle. However, it is complex to operate and unsuitable for patients, who have undergone trauma or ocular surgery. Although AS-OCT provides detailed images, it is costly. The aim of this study is to explore a non-invasive, non-destructive optical reflection tomography (ORT) technique. This technique can achieve low-cost three-dimensional imaging and full-field anterior chamber angle measurement of the porcine eye. MethodsThe experiment involved assembling an optical reflection tomography system, which included a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera, a telecentric system, a stepper motor, and a white light source, achieving a spatial resolution of approximately 8.5 μm. The process required positioning the porcine eye at the center of the field of the imaging system and rotating it around its central axis using a stepper motor. Reflection projection images were captured at each angle with an exposure time of 1.0 ms and an interval of 2°. The collected reflection-projection data were processed using a filtered reflection tomography algorithm, generating a series of two-dimensional slice data. These slices essentially represented cross-sectional views of the three-dimensional structural image, and were reconstructed into a complete three-dimensional structural image. Based on the reconstructed three-dimensional structural image of the porcine eye, the anterior chamber angles at different positions were measured, and a distribution map of these angles was drawn. Simultaneously, the ORT measurements were compared with the standard results obtained from optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the accuracy of ORT measurements. ResultsIn this study, we successfully obtained the reflection projection data of a porcine eye using ORT technology, reconstructed its three-dimensional structural image, and measured the anterior chamber angle, generating the corresponding distribution map. To better distinguish the different structural parts of porcine eye, the three-dimensional structural image was marked with blue, green, and yellow dashed lines from the outer to the inner layers. The area between the blue and green dashed lines corresponded to the sclera. The area between the green and yellow dashed lines corresponded to the iris. The area inside the yellow dashed line corresponded to the pupil. The three-dimensional structural image clearly revealed the key anatomical features of the porcine eye. It was able to measure the anterior chamber angle at different positions. Additionally, the anterior chamber angle measurements of the porcine eye using ORT were compared with the measurements obtained using a TEL320C1 type OCT system, showing an average deviation of 0.51° and a mean square error MSE of 0.317. ConclusionORT is a non-invasive, non-destructive, low-cost, and high-resolution imaging technique capable of achieving three-dimensional structural imaging and full-field anterior chamber angle measurement of a porcine eye. This technology offers a new perspective for the diagnosis of angle-closure glaucoma and is significant for the screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of eye diseases, potentially benefiting clinics and small hospitals in remote areas in the future.

Objective To summarize the reasons and management strategies of reoperation after oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF),and put forward preventive measures.Methods From October 2015 to December 2019,23 patients who under-went reoperation after OLIF in four spine surgery centers were retrospectively analyzed.There were 9 males and 14 females with an average age of(61.89±8.80)years old ranging from 44 to 81 years old.The index diagnosis was degenerative lumbar intervertebral dics diseases in 3 cases,discogenie low back pain in 1 case,degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis in 6 cases,lumbar spinal stenosis in 9 cases and degenerative lumbar spinal kyphoscoliosis in 4 cases.Sixteen patients were primarily treated with Stand-alone OLIF procedures and 7 cases were primarily treated with OLIF combined with posterior pedicle screw fixation.There were 17 cases of single fusion segment,2 of 2 fusion segments,4 of 3 fusion segments.All the cases underwent reoperation within 3 months after the initial surgery.The strategies of reoperation included supplementary posterior pedicle screw instrumentation in 16 cases;posterior laminectomy,cage adjustment and neurolysis in 2 cases,arthroplasty and neuroly-sis under endoscope in 1 case,posterior laminectomy and neurolysis in 1 case,pedicle screw adjustment in 1 case,exploration and decompression under percutaneous endoscopic in 1 case,interbody fusion cage and pedicle screw revision in 1 case.Visu-al analogue scale(VAS)and Oswestry disability index(ODI)index were used to evaluate and compare the recovery of low back pain and lumbar function before reoperation and at the last follow-up.During the follow-up process,the phenomenon of fusion cage settlement or re-displacement,as well as the condition of intervertebral fusion,were observed.The changes in in-tervertebral space height before the first operation,after the first operation,before the second operation,3 to 5 days after the second operation,6 months after the second operation,and at the latest follow-up were measured and compared.Results There was no skin necrosis and infection.All patients were followed up from 12 to 48 months with an average of(28.1±7.3)months.Nerve root injury symptoms were relieved within 3 to 6 months.No cage transverse shifting and no dislodgement,loosening or breakage of the instrumentation was observed in any patient during the follow-up period.Though the intervertebral disc height was obviously increased at the first postoperative,there was a rapid loss in the early stage,and still partially lost after reopera-tion.The VAS for back pain recovered from(6.20±1.69)points preoperatively to(1.60±0.71)points postoperatively(P＜0.05).The ODI recovered from(40.60±7.01)％preoperatively to(9.14±2.66)％postoperatively(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is a risk of reoperation due to failure after OLIF surgery.The reasons for reoperation include preoperative bone loss or osteoporosis the initial surgery was performed by Stand-alone,intraoperative endplate injury,significant subsidence of the fusion cage after surgery,postoperative fusion cage displacement,nerve damage,etc.As long as it is discovered in a timely manner and handled properly,further surgery after OLIF surgery can achieve better clinical results,but prevention still needs to be strengthened.

Objective To elucidate the potential mechanisms by which mesothelin(MSLN)contributes to chemotherapy resistance in high-grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSOC).Methods A Meta-analysis utilizing public ovarian cancer databases was performed to evaluate the correlation between MSLN expression levels and overall survival(OS)in ovarian cancer patients.Pathway enrichment analysis was employed to identify key signaling pathways regulated by MSLN and their roles in chemotherapy resistance.Additionally,the TCGA-HGSOC database was analyzed to examine genomic features associated with MSLN-mediated chemotherapy resistance.To validate the biological function of MSLN in chemotherapy resistance,an intraperitoneal metastasis model was established using MSLN-knockdown ID8 ovarian cancer cells in mice.Results Elevated MSLN expression was significantly associated with poor patient prognosis(HR:1.42,95%CI:1.16-1.74).Differential gene expression and pathway enrichment analyses revealed that high MSLN expression upregulates resistance-associated genes and pathways involved in drug metabolism and DNA-binding signaling.Genomic association analysis showed a negative correlation between high MSLN expression and chromosomal instability features,specifically CX3,CX11,and CX13 scores.In vivo studies demonstrated that MSLN knockdown enhanced the tumor-suppressive effects of cisplatin.Conclusion High MSLN expression represents a potential biomarker for poor prognosis and chemotherapy resistance in HGSOC patients,suggesting MSLN as a promising target for therapeutic intervention.

Objective To investigate the improvement effect and mechanism of ligustilide on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced renal podocyte injury in mice.Methods(1)In vivo experiment:the mice were randomly divided into blank control group,LPS induction group,ligustilide low-and high-dose groups,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-NC(RhoA negative control)group,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-RhoA(RhoA overexpression)group.Except for the blank control group,mice in other groups were subjected to LPS-induced acute kidney injury(AKI)model.After the intervention,the levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and creatinine(Cr)in the serum of mice were detected,the pathological changes of kidney tissue in mice were observed by periodic acid-schiff(PAS)staining,and the protein expressions of RhoA and Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase(ROCK)in kidney tissue were detected by Western Blot.(2)In vitro experiments:the cultured mouse podocyte MPC5 was divided into blank control group,LPS induction group,ligustilide low-and high-dose groups,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-NC group,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-RhoA group.Cell count kit 8(CCK-8)method was used to detect the proliferation activity of podocytes,flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis,phalloidin staining method was used to analyze cytoskeleton,and Western Blot was used to detect the expressions of RhoA and ROCK proteins in the cells.Results Compared with the blank control group,the levels of BUN and Cr in serum,renal tissue injury score,and the protein expressions of RhoA and ROCK in the LPS-induced group were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the LPS-induced group,the levels of BUN and Cr in serum,renal tissue injury score,and the expression levels of RhoA and ROCK in the low-and high-dose ligustilide groups were decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the cell proliferation activity,F-actin fluorescence intensity,RhoA and ROCK expressions in the LPS-induced group were decreased(P＜0.05),and the apoptosis rate was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the LPS-induced group,the cell proliferation activity,F-actin fluorescence intensity,RhoA and ROCK expressions were increased(P＜0.05),and the apoptosis rate was decreased in the low-and high-dose ligustilide groups(P＜0.05).Overexpression of RhoA reversed the alleviation effect of ligustilide on LPS-induced renal tissue and podocyte injury in mice(P＜0.01).Conclusion Ligustilide may improve LPS-induced renal podocyte injury in mice by inhibiting RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway.

This study was aimed at exploring the epidemiological characteristics of plague,and the evolutionary relation-ships among the isolated plague strains in the Yunnan border area,to provide clues for further studying epidemic causes and ep-idemiological patterns.Plague epidemic data in the border area during the second epidemic period(1982-2007)were collected and analyzed with descriptive epidemiological methods.Whole genome sequences of 262 strains of Yersinia pestis in the border area were obtained for phylogenetic analysis.Plague outbreaks occurred in 17 counties(cities)among 25 border counties(cit-ies);a total of 552 epidemic foci and 123 human cases were identified.The 1.ORI2,1.ORI3,1.IN3,2.ANT and 2.MED geno-types were identified among Yersinia pestis isolated from the Yunnan border area,among which the 1.ORI2 population was dominant.A total of 258 strains of Yersinia pestis from the 1.OR12 population belonged to four subclusters.The Myanmar and Vietnam clade was embedded within the Yunnan clade in the overall phylogeny.The above results indicated that during the sec-ond period of the epidemic,the intensity of plague epidemics in Yunnan's border areas was high,showing a trend of devel-opment from west to south and east.Our findings indicated a risk of cross-border transmission of plague between Yunnan and neighboring countries;therefore,the surveillance,pre-vention,and control of plague in border areas should be strengthened.

A prokaryotic expression vector for the mutant diphtheria toxin CRM197 was constructed and expressed in Esch-erichia coli cells.Anti-CRM197 antibody concentrations were detected in serum samples of healthy volunteers.The crm 197 gene was codon-optimized in E.coli and cloned into the plasmid pET28a(+)under optimized expression conditions.CRM197 was purified using Ni-NTA spin columns and ion exchange chromatography,and confirmed by western blot analysis.The puri-fied CRM197 was used to detect specific anti-CRM197 antibody levels in serum samples of different age groups.The results showed that soluble codon-optimized CRM197 was successfully expressed under optimized expression conditions.The purity of CRM197 was more than 95％,as determined with Ni-NTA spin columns and ion exchange chromatography,consistent with the single specific bands obtained by western blot analysis and detection of serum levels of the anti-CRM197 antibody.Collec-tively,these results confirmed that the proposed expression strategy achieved high-yield production of soluble CRM197,al-though high levels in human serum may affect evaluation of immune interactions with glycan-CRM197 conjugates for applica-tion as a diagnostic antigen.The diphtheria mutant toxin CRM197 is used in many conjugate vaccines.The synthetic crm 197 gene with codon optimization in pET28a was transformed into E.coli Origami B(DE3)cells.CRM197 was induced by isopro-pyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside and high level accumulation of soluble CRM197 was purified using Ni-NTA spin columns and ion exchange chromatography.The purity of the final prepara-tion reached 95％.CRM197 was used to detect the concentra-tions of the anti-CRM197 antibody in serum samples of healthy volunteers of different ages.The proposed expression strategy yielded high production of CRM197,which could interfere with evaluations of induced immune interactions by glycan-CRM197 conjugates and prohibit application as a diagnostic antigen.
