Objective:To evaluate the treatment of infected nonunion after internal fixation of subtrochanteric fracture with a reconstruction stent of external fixation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 5 male patients with infected nonunion after internal fixation of subtrochanteric fracture who had been treated and completely followed up at The Great Wall Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery Hospital from January 2017 to October 2022. The patients were (30.0±13.5) years old. Seinsheimer fracture types: ⅢA (1 case), ⅢB (1 case), Ⅳ (2 cases), and Ⅴ (1 case); original internal fixation: intramedullary system (4 cases) and plate fixation (1 case); the Cierny-Mader anatomical classification: type Ⅳ (diffuse type) for all. After complete debridement at stage one, 2 or 3 hydroxyapatite (HA) coated screws were placed at both fracture ends from the lateral side of the femur for unilateral reconstruction external fixation. Next, a hybrid external fixation scaffold was added with a 1/3 ring at the sagittal position and 1 or 2 HA screws in 4 cases while unilateral reconstruction external fixation was constructed at both sides by inserting 2 HA screws into both fracture ends from the anterior femur at the sagittal position in 1 case. Antibiotic bone cement was used to fill bone defects of (3.8±1.8) cm. At 6 to 8 weeks after debridement when infection did not recur, antibiotic bone cement was removed before autogenous iliac bone grafting was performed in 3 patients and osteotomy bone transport in 2 patients. Infection control, bone union time, time for removal of external fixation stent, complications, Sanders hip function score and Paley bone outcome score were recorded.Results:The 5 patients were followed up for (23.4±8.1) months after surgery. Infection at the fracture ends was controlled after 1 time of debridement in 3 patients and after 2 times of debridement in 2 patients. The loosening HA screws were replaced twice due to infection at the proximal nail tract, and autologous bone grafting was performed at the opposite fracture ends in 1 case; no complications occurred in the other 4 cases. Bony union was achieved at the extended segment and fracture ends in all patients. The time for imaging union after bone reconstruction was (10.2±3.4) months. The time for wearing a stent of external fixation was (18.0±4.5) months. There was no recurrent infection or lingering infection. According to the Sanders hip function score at the last follow-up, 4 cases were excellent and 1 case was good; according to the Paley bone outcome score, the curative effect was excellent in all.Conclusion:Application of a reconstruction stent of external fixation combined with antibiotic bone cement can control infection at the first stage and conduct bone reconstruction at the second stage to successfully treat the infected nonunion and preserve the hip function after internal fixation of subtrochanteric fracture.

The responsive patterns of phytochrome gene family members to photoperiod and abiotic stresses were comparatively analyzed and the favorable natural variation sites of these genes were identified. This would help understand the mechanism of phytochrome gene family in photoperiod-regulated growth and development and abiotic stress response. In addition, it may facilitate the molecular marker assisted selection of key traits in foxtail millet. In this study, we used RT-PCR to clone three phytochrome genes SiPHYA, SiPHYB and SiPHYC from ultra-late maturity millet landrace variety 'Maosu'. After primary bioinformatics analysis, we studied the photoperiod control mode and the characteristics of these genes in responding to five abiotic stresses including polyethylene glycol (PEG)-simulated drought, natural drought, abscisic acid (ABA), high temperature and NaCl by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Finally, we detected the mutation sites of the three genes among 160 foxtail millet materials and performed haplotype analysis to determine the genes' functional effect. We found that the cloned cDNA sequences of gene SiPHYA, SiPHYB and SiPHYC were 3 981, 3 953 and 3 764 bp respectively, which contained complete coding regions. Gene SiPHYB and SiPHYC showed closer evolutionary relationship. Photoperiod regulated all of the three genes, but showed more profound effects on diurnal expression pattern of SiPHYB, SiPHYC than that of SiPHYA. Under short-day, when near heading, the expression levels of SiPHYA and SiPHYB were significantly lower than that under long-day, indicating their roles in suppressing heading of foxtail millet under long-day. SiPHYB and SiPHYC were responsive to PEG-simulated drought, natural drought, ABA and high temperature stresses together. SiPHYA and SiPHYB responded differently to salt stress, whereas SiPHYC did not respond to salt stress. Re-sequencing of 160 foxtail millet materials revealed that SiPHYB was highly conservative. Two missense mutations of SiPHYA, such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 7 034 522C→T and SNP7 036 657G→C, led to delaying heading and increasing plant height. One missense mutation of SiPHYC, such as SNP5 414 823G→T, led to shortening heading under short-day and delaying heading under long-day, as well as increasing plant height and panicle length regardless of photo-thermal conditions. Photoperiod showed different regulatory effects on SiPHYA, SiPHYB and SiPHYC. SiPHYB and SiPHYC jointly responded to various abiotic stresses except for the salt stress. Compared with the reference genotype, mutation genotypes of SiPHYA and SiPHYC delayed heading and increased plant height and panicle length.

B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is characterized by genetic alterations with high heterogeneity. Precise subtypes with distinct genomic and/or gene expression patterns have been recently revealed using high-throughput sequencing technology. Most of these profiles are associated with recurrent non-overlapping rearrangements or hotspot point mutations that are analogous to the established subtypes, such as DUX4 rearrangements, MEF2D rearrangements, ZNF384/ZNF362 rearrangements, NUTM1 rearrangements, BCL2/MYC and/or BCL6 rearrangements, ETV6-RUNX1-like gene expression, PAX5alt (diverse PAX5 alterations, including rearrangements, intragenic amplifications, or mutations), and hotspot mutations PAX5 (p.Pro80Arg) with biallelic PAX5 alterations, IKZF1 (p.Asn159Tyr), and ZEB2 (p.His1038Arg). These molecular subtypes could be classified by gene expression patterns with RNA-seq technology. Refined molecular classification greatly improved the treatment strategy. Multiagent therapy regimens, including target inhibitors (e.g., imatinib), immunomodulators, monoclonal antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, are transforming the clinical practice from chemotherapy drugs to personalized medicine in the field of risk-directed disease management. We provide an update on our knowledge of emerging molecular subtypes and therapeutic targets in BCP-ALL.

Objective:To investigate the biocompatible properties of tissue-engineered rabbit trachea treated by Triton-X 100 processed method (TPM) and detergent enzymatic method (DEM) with genipin cross-linking.Methods:TPM and DEM were used to decellularize New Zealand rabbit trachea, and then genipin was used for cross-linking. The mechanical properties of each tracheal sample were measured by universal tensile testing machine. The structure of the sample was observed by scanning electron microscope. The cytotoxicity of the sample was detected by cell contact toxicity assay. Fifteen healthy adult New Zealand rabbits with no specific pathogens were divided into the native tracheal transplantation group, the genipin cross-linked TPM acellular tracheal matrix transplantation group and the genipin cross-linked DEM acellular tracheal matrix transplantation group according to the random number table, 5 animals for each group. Animals in each group were sacrificed 30 days after transplantation, and graft samples were obtained. The microstructure was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and CD68 molecular immunohistochemical staining.Results:Biomechanical results showed that the mechanical properties of decellularized tracheas with genipin cross-linking were similar to native tracheas. The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that the matrix of cross-linked decellularized tracheas was more dense comparing with native tracheas, and the mesh-like ultrastructure formed on the outer surface of the genipin cross-linked DEM acellular tracheal matrix was conducive to cell adhesion. The results of cell contact toxicity results showed that the genipin cross-linked decellularized tracheas treated by DEM had better biocompatibility. The results of in vivo implantation and histological staining showed that genipin cross-linked DEM acellular tracheal matrix was less immunogenic comparing with genipin cross-linked TPM acellular tracheal matrix.Conclusions:Genipin can improve the ultrastructure of decellularized tracheal matrix without causing inflammatory. The genipin cross-linked decellularized tracheas treated by DEM has better biocompatibility and lower immunogenicity, which make it suitable for the replacement of tissue engineering trachea.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of orexin-A on programmed necrosis during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods:Thirty clean-grade healthy adult male Spraugue-Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), cerebral I/R group (I/R group) and orexin-A group (OA group). In I/R and OA groups, a rat model of global cerebral I/R injury was established by transesophageal cardiac pacing-induced cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in anesthetized animals.Orexin-A 30 μg/kg (diluted to 0.5 ml in phosphate buffer solution) was intravenously injected at 10 min before establishing the model in OA group.Phosphate buffer solution 0.5 ml was intravenously injected at 10 min before establishing the model in Sham and I/R groups.The neurological deficit score (NDS) was assessed at 24 h of reperfusion, then the rats were sacrificed, and bilateral hippocampal tissues were obtained.The morphological structure of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 region was examined after HE staining, and normal pyramidal cells were counted.Western blot was used to detect the expression of receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), RIP3 and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Immuno-histochemistry was used to count RIP1, RIP3 and MLKL positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 region.The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in hippocampi was determined by xanthine oxidase method, and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in hippocampi was determined by thiobarbituric acid method. Results:Compared with Sham group, the normal pyramidal cell count in the hippocampal CA1 region was significantly decreased, NDS was increased, the expression of RIP1, RIP3 and MLKL protein was up-regulated, the positive cell count was increased, the content of MDA in hippocampi was increased, and the activity of SOD in hippocampi was decreased in I/R and OA groups ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, the count of normal pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 region was significantly increased, NDS was decreased, the expression of RIP1, RIP3 and MLKL protein was down-regulated, the count of positive cells was decreased, the content of hippocampal MDA was decreased, and the activity of hippocampal SOD was increased in OA group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which orexin-A reduces cerebral I/R injury may be related to inhibiting programmed necrosis in rats.

Objective:To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment of invasive gastrointestinal fungal infection plus pulmonary infection after renal transplantation.Methods:Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively for one patient with invasive fungal infection plus pulmonary infection after renal transplantation. The middle-aged female recipient underwent allogeneic kidney transplantation due to end-stage uremia. After successful kidney transplantation, there was postprandial epigastric pain not relieved by proton pump inhibitor. Gastroscopy after admission suggested that the nature of gastric mucosal lesions was to be determined. Pathological examination and special staining confirmed mucor.Results:After clarifying her conditions, the doses of such immunosuppression as tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone were tapered and discontinued when necessary and using amphotericin B liposome plus posaconazole alleviated the digestive tract symptoms. Chest tightness, fever, shortness of breath after activities hinted at pulmonary infection after renal transplantation. Treatment was guided by the results of sputum culture.Conclusions:Mucor infection is rare in digestive tract complicated with pulmonary infection after renal transplantation. Clinicians should actively search for etiological evidence, seek multidisciplinary consultations for a definite diagnosis and provide empirical anti-infection treatments. Due attention is to be paid for double infection caused by anti-infection treatments and anti-infection treatment strategy should be timely adjusted and the dosage of immunosuppressant based upon immune monitoring.

Objective:To investigate the application of low-dose chest CT(LDCT) in the screening of pulmonary subsolid nodules in population and the application value of artificial intelligence.Methods:People who received chest LDCT screening between January 2015 and December 2017 were included. A retrospective study was developed to analyze the enrolled population features , detection of pulmonary subsolid nodules and independent predictors of subsolid nodules , and to evaluate the accuracy of the artificial intelligence reading method.Results:Result of three cross-sectional studies reveals that the detection rates of pulmonary subsolid nodules were 0.42%, 0.69% and 0.92% in three rounds. 726 cases who completed the three rounds of screening were included in the cohort study. The cohort population was predominantly male(83.2%), with a median age of 43 years, and nearly half of the subjects(47.0%) had a history of smoking. GEE revealed that the patient's family history of lung cancer( OR=8.753, 95% CI: 1.877-40.816, P=0.006) was an independent predictor of the detection of subsolid nodules. In the 110 kVp tube voltage group, AUC of AI model was 0.740, and AUC of the manual reading method was 0.721, no significant differences were observed( P=0.502); when the preseted cutoff value of AI model was 0.75, the NRI was -0.15, indicating the accuracy of AI model was inferior to manual method( P=0.006). In the 130 kVp tube voltage group, AUC of the model was 0.888, and AUC of the manual reading method was 0.756, no significant differences were observed( P=0.128); and the NRI was 0.19, indicating the accuracy of AI model was not inferior to manual method( P=0.123). Conclusion:This population' s detection rates of pulmonary subsolid nodules were 0.42%-0.92%. Family history of lung cancer was an independent predictor of subsolid pulmonary nodules.

As a member of the β-thymosin family, thymosin β 10 (Tβ10) is mainly involved in the isolation of intracellular actin. Studies have shown that the expression change of Tβ10 is closely correlated with breast cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer and other malignant tumors. Tβ10 is expressed in different states according to the type of cancers, and the mechanism is unclear. The recent research of Tβ10 in chemotherapy and serum findings play a significant role in predicting the efficacy of chemotherapy in cancer patients.

As a member of the β-thymosin family, thymosin β 10 (Tβ10) is mainly involved in the isolation of intracellular actin. Studies have shown that the expression change of Tβ10 is closely correlated with breast cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer and other malignant tumors. Tβ10 is expressed in different states according to the type of cancers, and the mechanism is unclear. The recent research of Tβ10 in chemotherapy and serum findings play a significant role in predicting the efficacy of chemotherapy in cancer patients.
