Resumen Este ensayo cuestiona, a propósito de la medicina, la idea de progreso como desarrollo tecnológico al centrarlo en las personas y no en las cosas. Se analiza cómo el predominio de tal idea de progreso convierte a las sociedades actuales al tecno-fetichismo que degrada la vida comunitaria y la práctica médica contribuyendo a la medicalización de la vida social. Se argumenta que la realización de las potencialidades tecnológicas depende de sus formas de uso, que el móvil principal del desarrollo tecnológico es el lucro sin límites, y que los desarrollos prioritarios son los que potencian el control social que mantiene el statu quo. Se critica la idea de inteligencia como cociente intelectual al proponerla como atributo del ser humano como un todo, manifiesto en las formas pensar y proceder de las personas en sus circunstancias, donde la afectividad y el pensamiento crítico son imprescindibles para su desarrollo. Se destaca que su antecedente es el concierto armónico de la vida planetaria contrastante con la disarmonía humana imperante. Se plantea que la inteligencia artificial es la más reciente hechura del tecno-fetichismo que deposita en la tecnología atributos vitales, y que sus formas de uso acentuarán la degradación de la vida humana y planetaria. Se propone otra idea de progreso médico basado en formas de organización propicias para el desarrollo de aptitudes inquisitivas, críticas y colaborativas que impulsen la superación permanente, cuyo horizonte lejano es el progreso dignificante: sublimación espiritual, intelectual, moral y convivencial de las colectividades en armonía con el ecosistema planetario.
Abstract This essay questions, with regard to medicine, the idea of progress as technological development by focusing on people rather than things. It analyzes how the predominance of such an idea of progress converts todays societies to techno-fetishism that degrades community life and medical practice, contributing to the medicalization of social life. It is argued that the realization of technological potentialities depends on their forms of use; that the main motive of technological development is unlimited profit and that priority developments are those that enhance the social control that maintains the status quo. The intelligence as an intelligence quotient is criticized by proposing it as an attribute of the human being as a whole, manifested in the ways of thinking and proceeding of people in their circumstances, where affectivity and critical thinking are essential for their development; it is emphasized that its antecedent is the harmonic concert of planetary life that contrasts with the prevailing human disharmony. It is proposed that artificial intelligence is the most recent creation of techno-fetishism that deposits vital attributes in technology and that its forms of use will accentuate the degradation of human and planetary life. Another idea of medical progress is proposed, based on forms of organization conducive to the development of inquisitive, critical and collaborative skills that promote permanent improvement, whose distant horizon is dignifying progress: spiritual, intellectual, moral and convivial sublimation of collectivities in harmony with the planetary ecosystem.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,it has been found that some traditional Chinese medicine monomers can alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis of the skin flap,promote vascular regeneration of the skin flap and prevent skin flap necrosis by activating autophagy. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine monomer regulating autophagy in preventing flap necrosis. METHODS:The Chinese and English key words were"traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),autophagy,skin flaps".The first author searched the relevant articles published in CNKI and PubMed databases from January 2010 to October 2022.A total of 196 articles were retrieved in the preliminary screening and then screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The quality assessment was conducted by reading the literature titles and abstracts.Finally,55 articles were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The regulation of autophagy is mediated by AMPK/mTOR,PI3K/AKT and other signaling pathways.Activation of autophagy can alleviate the oxidative stress and apoptosis of the flap,promote the regeneration of blood vessels in the flap,and prevent flap necrosis.(2)Terpenoids(Betulinic acid,Andrographolide,Notoginseng Triterpenes,Catalpa),phenolic compounds(Resveratrol,Curcumin,Gastrodin),phenolic acids(Salvianolic acid B)and steroid compounds(Pseudoginsenoside F11)in traditional Chinese medicine monomers can alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis of skin flap by regulating related signaling pathways to activate autophagy,promote skin flap angiogenesis and promote skin flap survival.(3)Studying the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine monomer to prevent flap necrosis by regulating autophagy can provide a reference and theoretical basis for traditional Chinese medicine to prevent flap necrosis and promote flap healing in the clinic.

BACKGROUND:Sarcopenia is a progressive,generalized skeletal muscle disease that is closely related to the occurrence of osteoarthritis,fractures,limb disability and death in the elderly.Establishing animal models of sarcopenia is essential to understand the pathophysiology of sarcopenia and to identify effective treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE:To review the evaluation criteria of mouse models of sarcopenia and the modeling methods of mouse models of sarcopenia,and to analyze and compare the advantages and disadvantages of various modeling methods,in order to provide reference for the research and diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia. METHODS:"Sarcopenia,skeletal muscle aging,mouse model,animal model"in Chinese and English were used as Chinese and English search terms,respectively.The search formula was"(sarcopenia OR skeletal muscle aging)AND(mouse model OR animal model)."CNKI,WanFang and PubMed were searched for related articles published from January 2010 and October 2022.A total of 59 articles were finally included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There is a faster modeling time in SAMP8 mice and the type of muscle atrophy is consistent with that of patients with sarcopenia.Therefore,it is an ideal model.Although the surgical method can successfully induce muscle atrophy,it requires precise surgical operation,which is difficult and time-consuming.Hindlimb suspension modeling in mice is similar to that of the elderly and can be regarded as an effective model of senile sarcopenia.Although reagent injection molding is simple to perform,both the dose and number of days of administration of reagents are not clear and need to be further investigated.Transgenic mouse models are less commonly used and their model stability needs further study.The search for a mouse model with low cost,short time consumption and high simulation of human sarcopenia is still a future research direction.

BACKGROUND:Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease of skeletal muscle,and the incidence of osteoarthritis is increasing yearly,but its pathogenesis is not clear.The commonly used drugs for osteoarthritis include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoid.Adverse drug reactions to these drugs can reduce patient compliance and ultimately affect the efficacy of treatment.Active ingredients in Chinese medicine are closely scrutinized for their safety and other characteristics. OBJECTIVE:Through reviewing the research progress in the effect of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine on osteoarthritis-related signaling pathways,to provide ideas and theoretical basis for the research,development,and application of new drugs in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,and GeenMedical were searched for relevant literature in the last 10 years.The key words were"OA,osteoarthritis,traditional Chinese medicine,active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine,chondrocyte,inflammation,signal pathways,mechanism"in Chinese and English.We excluded the irrelevant repetitive and older literature,and finally included 63 articles for further review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine regulate the levels of inflammatory factors,promote the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes,regulate the apoptosis of chondrocytes,and delay the degeneration of chondrocytes through Wnt/β-catenin,NK-ΚB,P38 MAPK,PI3K/AKT,JAK2/STAT3 and other signaling pathways,thus slowing the progression of osteoarthritis.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND:Studies have found that chondrocyte ferroptosis can be used as an important pathogenesis to induce the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis.With the continuous development of Chinese medicine,some scholars have found that some traditional Chinese medicine monomers and traditional Chinese medicine compounds can inhibit chondrocyte ferroptosis through various mechanisms of action,and finally play a role in the treatment of osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship between ferroptosis and osteoarthritis and the mechanism by which traditional Chinese medicine deals with ferroptosis in the treatment of osteoarthritis,in order to provide new ideas for the treatment and prevention of osteoarthritis. METHODS:With"osteoarthritis,ferroptosis,chondrocytes,lipid metabolism,traditional Chinese medicine,ROS,GPX 4"as the English and Chinese search terms,CNKI,PubMed,WanFang,and VIP databases were searched for relevant articles regarding the relationship between ferroptosis and osteoarthritis and its traditional Chinese medicine intervention until 2022.Then,a systematic analysis was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intracellular iron overload will cause lipid peroxidation,resulting in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and eventually the occurrence of ferroptosis,while excessive iron will accelerate the apoptosis of chondrocytes and affect chondrocyte homeostasis,thereby inducing the development of osteoarthritis.When amino acid metabolism is abnormal,an imbalance in glutamate and cystine exchange causes the accumulation of glutamate outside the cells,and high extracellular concentration of glutamate will cause the depletion of glutathione,indirectly inhibiting the function of ferroptosis-related factors,and contributing to ferroptosis.When cellular lipid metabolism is abnormal,unsaturated fatty acids,an important component of the cell membrane,lose their diallyl hydrogen atoms,leading to the destruction of cells to induce ferroptosis,while lipid metabolism is closely involved in the progression of osteoarthritis.Traditional Chinese medicine can play a role in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis by inducing the occurrence of ferroptosis.The research on iron death is still immature,and further research on its action mechanism is expected to open up new ways for the clinical treatment of osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND:Orthosis is a common and effective treatment for mild to moderate scoliosis,which can delay and inhibit the progression of scoliosis and reduce the incidence of severe deformity.Different types of orthoses have different indications,application characteristics,and efficacies.In recent years,the application of new technology like digital and intelligent has promoted the improvement and development of new orthoses. OBJECTIVE:To classify and compare the commonly used scoliosis orthoses,and describe the application progress of new technologies such as digital and intelligent technology in recent years,so as to provide a reference for the clinical selection of orthoses and the improvement of new orthoses. METHODS:PubMed,Embase,IEEE,CNKI and WanFang databases were searched for relevant literature.Chinese and English search terms were"scoliosis,orthosis,brace,progress,artificial intelligence,digitization".The search time limit was from 2012 to 2022.Finally,56 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scoliosis orthosis has a good effect on mild to moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.Through the Hueter-Volkmann law,it can accelerate the growth of the concave spine with a high success rate and has been widely used in this field.(2)The indications,application characteristics and efficacy of different types of orthoses are different,and the clinical selection is targeted.(3)Scoliosis orthosis has been developed in the direction of more humanity,paying attention to the comfort of patients,and the manufacturing process has been transformed from plaster casting to computer-aided manufacturing.It is simple and hygienic,with higher correction accuracy,and patients'compliance has been significantly improved.(4)Scoliosis orthosis is developing in the direction of digitalization and intelligence and has been widely integrated with artificial intelligence,Internet of things and other technologies to monitor the patient's orthopedic force,body temperature,and compliance in real time,so as to provide patients with more accurate treatment.(5)At present,there are still many defects in scoliosis orthosis that cannot be ignored,such as affecting development,decreased muscle strength,and body stiffness,which need further exploration and improvement.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND:The pathogenesis of osteoporosis is complex,and its essence is the weakening of bone formation and the enhancement of bone absorption caused by various reasons,resulting in the imbalance of bone metabolism.In recent years,N6-methyladenosine has been found(N6-methyladenosine,m6A)methylation can prevent and treat osteoporosis by regulating bone metabolism. OBJECTIVE:Taking the regulation of bone metabolism by m6A methylation as an entry point,to systematically sort out and summarize the research progress of m6A methylation in osteoporosis,so as to provide certain theoretical reference bases for the search of new therapeutic targets for osteoporosis. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,MEDLINE,Nature,and Cochrane databases were retrieved for relevant literature published from database inception to 2023.The keywords were"osteoporosis,m6A methylation,bone metabolism,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts"in Chinese and English.Duplicates and obsolete non-referenced documents were excluded,and a total of 73 standard papers were included for further review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:m6A methylation can affect the activity and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts,and osteoclasts through various pathways to regulate bone metabolism and prevent osteoporosis.The regulatory process of m6A methylation is extremely complex,and its related proteins play different roles in different cells.Even in the same kind of cells,the same type of proteins may have radically different roles,regulating different physiological and pathological processes.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND:The etiology of osteoarthritis is varied and its pathogenesis is still unclear.As bioinformatics has been deepening in recent years,increasing studies have found that the aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)and microRNAs(miRNAs)in joint tissues may mediate the downstream signaling pathways involved in the development of osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism of lncRNA in the development of osteoarthritis and the therapeutic effects of monomers and active compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicine that modulate lncRNA and downstream signaling pathways in osteoarthritis. METHODS:We searched CNKI,WanFang,VIP,and PubMed using the search terms of"long non-coding RNA,knee osteoarthritis,miRNA,chondrocytes,signaling pathway,and traditional Chinese medicine"in Chinese and English,respectively.The search time was from the inception of each database to March 2023.A total of 61 articles were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis involves a complex molecular regulatory network,including aberrant expression of lncRNAs and miRNAs in cartilage tissues,which may lead to apoptosis of chondrocytes,degradation of cartilage extracellular matrix,and production of large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines.These changes interact with each other to cause degeneration of articular cartilage and progression of osteoarthritis.Therefore,further in-depth studies are needed to reveal the fine mechanisms of the molecular regulatory network.The mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteoarthritis mainly focuses on regulating the expression of lncRNA and miRNA,thereby alleviating chondrocyte apoptosis and extracellular matrix degradation,promoting cell proliferation,and slowing down the development of osteoarthritis.

For the past few years, the indocyanine green fluorescence imaging has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract diseases. Fluorescence visualization of the biliary system by indocyanine green accurately localize the diseased tissue and identify the biliary structures precisely, which effectively avoids the damage to the natural biliary structure and greatly improves the accuracy and safety of biliary surgery. However, the application of this new technology in biliary surgery is still at the exploratory stage, showing great potential for application while also exposing many problems and controversies. It is believed that with the continuous development and improvement, the indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography will play a more important role in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract diseases in the future, and bring more benefits to patients.

The application of function-preserving pancreatic surgery as a restrictive resection technique is primarily targeted towards benign or those with borderline or low-grade lesions. This approach has been shown to significantly improve both short-term and long-term quality of life outcomes for patients following surgical intervention. In comparison to conventional laparoscopic procedures, robotic surgical systems have demonstrated superior efficacy and precision when employed in pancreas surgeries, and the safety and reliability are widely recognized within the medical community. Nevertheless, there remains a dearth of research investigating the specific appli-cations of robotic-assisted function-preserving pancreatic surgery. Consequently, the authors compre-hensive review the latest progress on robot-assisted function-preserving pancreatic surgery, while highlighting of surgical scope, techniques utilized during these procedures as well as associated prognostic considerations.
