    Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a cerebrovascular disease with a high mortality and disability rate. Its pathological mechanism is complex, and clinicalresearch faces challenges such as insufficient stability and low survival rate of animal models. This consensus systematically summarizes the limitations of traditional SAH animal models and proposes optimized modeling techniques, significantly improve model stability and reduce the mortality rate of experimental animals. At the same time, a multi-modal intracranial monitoring system is constructed by combining both multi-channel flexible sensors and 3D bioprinted scaffolds, achieving real-time dynamic monitoring of intracranial pressure, cerebral oxygen partial pressure, and brain electrical activity, promoting the regeneration and repair of cranial bone defects. The application of the new system provides a highly reliable platform for the analysis of SAH pathological mechanisms, the evaluation of new therapies, and the development of brain-computer interfaces. It is expected to promote the clinical transformation of brain-computer interface research results.

    Objective To explore the superiority of CYP3A5*3 gene polymorphism detection in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) with tacrolimus,and provide reference for personalized treatment of IMN patients. Methods 75 patients with IMN were included and divided into three groups based on CYP3A5*3genotype:AA,AG,and GG. All patients received tacrolimus treatment with an initial dose of 0. 05 mg/kg•d,twice daily,and the dose was adjusted based on blood drug concentration during the 6-month treatment period. The study simultaneously monitored the levels of urinary protein,plasma albumin,renal function indicators (urea nitrogen,serum creatinine),as well as the levels of inflammatory markers IL-6 and TNF-αin patients. Results After treatment,the total effective rates of AA,AG,and GG patients were 72%,88%,and 92%,respectively. The total effective rates of AG and GG patients were significantly higher than those of AA patients (P<0.05). After treatment,the 24-hour urinary protein,urea nitrogen,and serum creatinine levels of the three groups of patients significantly decreased compared to before treatment. Both AG and GG patients showed a significant decrease compared to AA patients (P<0.05). The plasma albumin,AST,and ALT levels of the three groups of patients significantly increased or decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The plasma albumin levels of AG and GG patients were significantly higher than those of AA patients (P<0.05),while the AST and ALT levels were significantly lower than those of AA patients (P<0.05). The levels of IL-6 and TNF - α in AG and GG patients were significantly reduced compared to before treatment,and were significantly lower than those in the AA group(P<0.05). Conclusion CYP3A5*3 gene polymorphism detection can effectively guide the application of tacrolimus in IMN patients,optimize drug dosage,improve efficacy,reduce adverse reactions,and provide important reference for personalized treatment.

    Sarcopenia is an age-related disease that brings numerous adverse consequences to patients and imposes an economic burden on society. The gut-muscle axis, serving as a bridge between intestinal flora and muscle, holds the potential for treating sarcopenia. However, its mechanism remains unclear, and the effect of intervention on sarcopenia is still far from ideal. Therefore, this paper reviews the correlation between the gut-muscle axis and sarcopenia, the involvement of the gut-muscle axis in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia, and the intervention of the gut-muscle axis on sarcopenia. The results demonstrate that intestinal flora can influence muscle quality and function through protein synthesis and decomposition, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and chronic low-grade inflammation, among others. Moreover, the combination of exercise and drugs, particularly in combination with intestinal flora butyrate, can yield a better therapeutic outcome for sarcopenia.

    Objective By examining the changes of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and tumor markers indexes before and after immunotherapy for advanced and recurrent cervical cancer, the correlation with therapeutic effect and prognosis was evaluated. Methods Fifty patients with advanced and recurrent cervical cancer who received first-line immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy in Qingdao Central Hospital and partner hospitals from August 2022 to August 2024 were prospectively included. Detect the baseline level of patients before treatment and the expression rate of T lymphocyte subsets and Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) in 1 cycle after treatment. Combined with tumor markers squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) and Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), the influencing factors of efficacy were analyzed by Logistic regression. Cox regression was used to investigate the prognostic factors. Results Logistic regression showed that baseline CD4+T cell percentage, CD8+T cell percentage, CA125 and SCC, CD4+PD-1 and CD8+PD-1 expression rate after 1 cycle of treatment were the influencing factors of curative effect (P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the percentage of baseline CD4+T cells, the percentage of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, the expression rate of CD4+ and CD8+PD-1, CA125 and SCC were prognostic factors. Conclusion The high percentage of CD4+T cells at baseline, the high percentage of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, the low expression rate of CD4+PD-1 and CD8+PD-1, and the low level of CA125 and SCC after 1 cycle of treatment may be favorable factors for patients to benefit from immunotherapy.

    Objective To explore the correlation analysis and predictive value of perimenopausal women's sex hormone level and osteoporosis. Methods Seventy cases of perimenopausal women with osteoporosis who came to our hospital from February 2023 to August 2024 were selected as the study group, and 70 cases of perimenopausal healthy women who came to our hospital for physical examination in the same time period were selected as the control group. Sex hormones [estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH)], bone metabolism indexes [N-terminal pro-peptide of pre-collagen type I (PINP), N-terminal osteocalcin (N-MID), and β-collagen degradation products (β-CTX)], and bone mineral density (BMD) levels were compared between the two groups. The correlation between sex hormone levels and osteoporosis was analyzed. Working characteristic curves of the subjects were plotted to assess the predictive efficacy of sex hormone levels for osteoporosis. Results Compared with the control group, the study group had lower levels of serum E2, lumbar spine BMD, femoral neck BMD, and hip BMD, and higher levels of FSH, PINP, N-MID, and β-CTX. Serum E2 was negatively correlated with the levels of PINP, N-MID, and β-CTX (r=-0.341, -0.470, and -0.538, all P<0.001), and positively correlated with the levels of lumbar BMD, femoral neck BMD, and hip BMD (r=0.579, 0.527, and 0.522, all P<0.001). Serum FSH was positively correlated with the levels of PINP, N-MID, and β-CTX (r=0.361, 0.368, 0.522, all P<0.001), and negatively correlated with the levels of lumbar BMD, femoral neck BMD, and hip BMD (r=-0.536, -0.552, and -0.541, all P<0.001).

Methods This paper retrospectively analysed the data of 106 patients with triple ankle fracture admitted to our hospital between June 2021 and June 2023,50 patients treated with supportive bone grafting plate were in the supportive plate group,and 56 patients fixed with hollow tension screws were in the hollow nail group. The operation、 recovery-related indexes and the ocurrence of complications were compared between the two groups. Postoperative pain level and recovery of ankle function in these patients were evaluated by VAS and AOFAS scoring systems. Results The healing time of posterior ankle fracture was significantly shorter in the braced plate group than in the hollow nail group (P<0.05);at 6 months after surgery,the VAS score and AOFAS score of the patients in the braced plate group were better than those in the hollow nail group (P<0.05),which indicated that braced splint fixation was more conducive to the recovery of the patients;at 6 months after surgery,the incidence of the total complication rate in the braced plate fixation group was 12.00%,while that in the hollow nail group The total complication rate was 8.93%,and there was no significant statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Supported splint and hollow tension screw fixation in the posterior-lateral approach are commonly used fixation Methods in the treatment of triple ankle fractures. Although both Methods can achieve good clinical Results,braced splint fixation shows higher stability and superiority when dealing with more complex posterior ankle fractures,which helps patients to start functional exercises in the early postoperative period,thus accelerating the rehabilitation process.

    Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of pulmonary surfactant (PS) with intermittent positive nasal pressure ventilation (NIPPV), warmed and humidified high-flow positive nasal pressure ventilation (HHFNC) and nasal pronged continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Methods A total of 90 preterm infants with NRDS curatived to our hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the study subjects, and they were divided evenly into three groups according to the random number table method. The NIPPV group was treated with NIPPV, the HHFNC group was treated with HHFNC, and the NCPAP group was treated with NCPAP. Blood gas indexes, oxygen therapy, invasive ventilation and complications were compared between the three groups. Results There was no significant difference in blood gas indexes between the three groups at 0 h and 48 h (P>0.05), PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 in the NIPPV group were higher than those in the HHFNC group and NCPAP group at 12 h, PaCO2 was lower than that in the control group, PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were higher and PaCO2 were lower in the NIPPV group and HHFNC group than those in the NCPAP group at 24 h (P<0.05). The duration of non-invasive ventilation was statistically shorter than that of the HHFNC group and the NCPAP group (P<0.05), and the rate of invasive ventilation and complications in the NIPPV group and HHFNC group were lower than those in the NCPAP group (P<0.05). Conclusion NIPPV treatment of NRDS can improve blood gas indexes faster, shorten the duration of oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation, and reduce the rate of invasive ventilation, which is safe and reliable.
