    Abstract Background: Although percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is a commonly used procedure for treating vertebral compression fracture (VCF), the risk of vertebral refracture should be considered. Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a systemic disease of mineral and bone metabolism. It is associated with an increased risk of fracture. Few studies have reported the use of PVA in patients with CKD-MBD. We herein report a rare case wherein the cemented vertebra and the adjacent vertebra refractured simultaneously in a CKD-MBD patient after PVA.
    Case summary: A 74-year-old man suffered from low back pain after taking a fall about 3 wk ago. According to physical examination, imaging and laboratory findings, diagnoses of T12 VCF, CKD-MBD, and chronic kidney disease stage 5 were established. He then received percutaneous vertebroplasty at T12 vertebra. Fourteen weeks later, he presented with T12 and L1 vertebral refractures caused by lumbar sprain. Once again, he was given PVA which was optimized for the refractured vertebrae. Although the short-term postoperative effect was satisfactory, he reported chronic low back pain again at the 3-month follow-up.
    Conclusion: It is necessary that patients with CKD-MBD who have received PVA are aware of the adverse effects of CKD-MBD. It may increase the risk of vertebral refracture. Furthermore, the PVA surgical technique needs to be optimized according to the condition of the patient. The medium- and long-term effects of PVA remain uncertain in patients with CKD-MBD.

    Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome-based efficacy is an evaluation index which is unique to TCM and can reflect the advantages of TCM. The development of the methods and measurement tools for evaluating TCM syndrome-based efficacy can provide objective and quantitative evidence for the clinical efficacy evaluation of TCM and the development of new Chinese medicine preparations, being the exploration direction of innovative methods and technologies for evaluating TCM efficacy. The conventional evaluation methods are subjective and limited to the mitigation of symptoms and the improvement of physical signs, which make it difficult to form a unified evaluation standard. In addition, the evaluation methods lack unity, objectivity, and quantitative research. The scientific connotation, evaluation ideas and methods, and key technologies of the evaluation for the therapeutic effect on syndromes remain unclear, which leads to diverse evaluation modes, methods, and indexes. The syndrome-based efficacy scale provides a new idea for the objective quantification and standardization of TCM syndromes. This review systematically summarizes the methods and problems, introduces the research progress in the evaluation scales, and puts forward some thoughts on the characteristics of TCM syndrome-based efficacy evaluation, aiming to provide insights for the research in this field.

    Abstract The presence of heterotopic ossification (HO) after primary total knee replacement (TKR) is rare and associated with limited mobility and stiffness of the knee. This study aimed to identify if the arthroscopic debridement after TKR could decrease HO and improve the function and range of motion. Thirty HO patients after TKR were retrospectively separated into 2 cohorts. 15 patients of group A accepted the arthroscopic debridement, while 15 patients of group B only had non-operative treatment, mainly including oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and rehabilitative treatment. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, knee society knee scores (KSS), range of motion (knee flexion and knee extension) were obtained before treatment and at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment. Radiography of after-treatment was also evaluated to assess the changes in HO. There were 3 males and 27 females with a mean age of 67.4 ± 0.8 years in group A and 68.2 ± 1.3 in group B. The onset time of HO was 3-6 months. The maximum size of the ossification was < 2 cm in 23 knees, 2 cm < heterotopic bone < 5 cm in 6 knees and > 5 cm in 1 knee. The size of HO decreased gradually in all knees by X-ray film at the last follow-up. There were no significant differences in VAS scores after replacement between two groups (p > 0.05). The average range of motion preoperatively in group A was - 15.2-90.6°, which postoperatively increased to - 4.2-110.0°. Meanwhile, the KSS scores and average range of motion of the group A were better than those of the group B at each follow-up time after treatment. Arthroscopic debridement can decrease HO seen from postoperative X-rays, improve the function and range of motion, as well as the pain remission between two groups are comparable. Consequently, arthroscopic resection of HO after TKR is recommended as soon as there is aggravating joint stiffness.

    Abstract Backgrounds: The aim of this study was to investigate the sexual function status of young breast cancer patients during endocrine therapy, identify potential categories of sexual function status, and analyze the factors affecting the potential categories of sexual function status during endocrine therapy.
    Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 189 young breast cancer patients who underwent postoperative adjuvant endocrine therapy in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. The latent class analysis was used to identify potential categories of patient sexual function characteristics with respect to the FSFI sex health measures. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors for the high risk latent class groups. A nomogram prognostic model were then established to identify high risk patients for female sexual dysfunction (FSD), and C-index was used to determine the prognostic accuracy.
    Results: Patients were divided into a "high dysfunction-low satisfaction" group and a "low dysfunction-high satisfaction" group depending on the latent class analysis, accounting for 69.3% and 30.7%, respectively. Patients who received aromatase inhibitors (AI) combined with ovarian function suppression (OFS) treatment (
    Conclusion: The study revealed the heterogeneity of sexual function status among young breast cancer patients during endocrine therapy, which may help identify high-risk patients and provide early intervention.

    Abstract Clinical, laboratory, and microbiological features, clinical outcomes, and pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) prognosis evaluation in non-liver cancer (Non-LC) and liver cancer patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE, LC-TACE). Clinical data of 48 consecutive PLA patients from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Mortality between two PLA patient groups were compared, and mortality risk factors were evaluated. A total of 48 PLA patients (31 males and 17 females) from January 2016 to December 2020 met the study's inclusion criteria. There were 32 and 16 patients in the Non-LC and LC-TACE groups, respectively. Positive pus culture rate in the Non-LC group was 87.5% and positive pus culture rate in LC-TACE group was 81.3%. In the Non-LC group, 28 patients improved after treatment, 1 patient did not improve, and 3 patients died during hospitalization, with a 9.4% mortality rate. In the LC-TACE group, nine patients improved after treatment, three patients did not improve, and four patients died during hospitalization, with a 25% mortality rate. The Non-LC group cure time was 37.4 ± 23.1 days, while the LC-TACE group was 91.5 ± 49.7 days. PLA of the Non-LC group and the LC-TACE group were different in terms of pathogenic bacteria and cure time, and so on. A more comprehensive treatment should be considered for PLA after TACE.

    Abstract Encapsulating enzymes within metal-organic frameworks has enhanced their structural stability and interface tunability for catalysis. However, the small apertures of the frameworks restrict their effectiveness to small organic molecules. Herein, we present a green strategy directed by visible linker micelles for the aqueous synthesis of MAF-6 that enables enzymes for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral molecules. Due to the large pore aperture (7.6 Å), double the aperture size of benchmark ZIF-8 (3.4 Å), MAF-6 allows encapsulated enzyme BCL to access larger substrates and do so faster. Through the optimization of surfactants' effect during synthesis, BCL@MAF-6-SDS (SDS = sodium dodecyl sulfate) displayed a catalytic efficiency (

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to examine the double-edged effect of social mobility belief on socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents' mental and physical health and further explore whether intentional self-regulation is the common psychological mechanism of social mobility belief affecting physical and mental health.
    Method: A total of 469 adolescents (
    Results: Social mobility belief was positively correlated with adolescents' life satisfaction and self-esteem but negatively correlated with depression. Intentional self-regulation mediated the relationships between social mobility belief and mental health. In addition, the results showed that intentional self-regulation mediated the relationship between social mobility belief and adolescents' physical health.
    Conclusions: Social mobility belief may be a "skin-deep" resilience resource positively related to mental health but negatively correlated with physical health through intentional self-regulation among socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents.

    Abstract A thermochromic or mechanochromic material can switch between at least two stable states in response to changes in temperature or static pressure/strain. In this study, we investigated a Ni-dithiolene dianion salt, 1,1'-diheptyl-4,4'-bipyridinium bis(maleonitriledithiolato)nickelate (1), and found that its cations and anions stack alternately to form a uniform mixed stack. These mixed stacks then combine to form a molecular solid through Coulomb and van der Waals interactions. Upon heating, 1 undergoes a reversible phase transition at around 340/320 K during the first heating/cooling cycle, resulting in rapid thermochromism with a color change from green (stable state) to red (metastable state) within a few seconds. This is the first report of a crystal of bis(maleonitriledithiolato)nickelate(II) salt with green color. Additionally, 1 exhibits irreversible mechanochromism, intense near-IR absorbance, and a dielectric anomaly. The structural phase transition is responsible for these properties, as it induces alterations in the π-orbital overlap between the anion and cation within a mixed stack. The intense near-IR absorbance arises from the ion-pair charge transfer transition from [Ni(mnt)

    Abstract Background: High levels of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation or NETosis and autoantibodies are related to poor prognosis and disease severity of COVID-19 patients. Human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) cross-reactive anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (SARS-CoV-2 RBD) antibodies (CR Abs) have been reported as one of the sources of anti-ACE2 autoantibodies. However, the pathological implications of CR Abs in NET formation remain unknown.
    Methods: In this study, we first assessed the presence of CR Abs in the sera of COVID-19 patients with different severity by serological analysis. Sera and purified IgG from CR Abs positive COVID-19 patients as well as a mouse monoclonal Ab (mAb 127) that can recognize both ACE2 and the RBD were tested for their influence on NETosis and the possible mechanisms involved were studied.
    Results: An association between CR Abs levels and the severity of COVID-19 in 120 patients was found. The CR Abs-positive sera and IgG from severe COVID-19 patients and mAb 127 significantly activated human leukocytes and triggered NETosis, in the presence of RBD. This NETosis, triggered by the coexistence of CR Abs and RBD, activated thrombus-related cells but was abolished when the interaction between CR Abs and ACE2 or Fc receptors was disrupted. We also revealed that CR Abs-induced NETosis was suppressed in the presence of recombinant ACE2 or the Src family kinase inhibitor, dasatinib. Furthermore, we found that COVID-19 vaccination not only reduced COVID-19 severity but also prevented the production of CR Abs after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
    Conclusions: Our findings provide possible pathogenic effects of CR Abs in exacerbating COVID-19 by enhancing NETosis, highlighting ACE2 and dasatinib as potential treatments, and supporting the benefit of vaccination in reducing disease severity and CR Abs production in COVID-19 patients.
