Résumé
Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.
Résumé
Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.

Objective: To explore the effect of therapeutic application of pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy under percutaneous nephroscope ultrasound and holmium laser lithotripsy for complex kidney stone. Methods: 124 patients with complex renal calculus were selected and divided into observation group (62 cases) and control group (62 cases) as randomly number table. The patients of observation group were cured by pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy under percutaneous nephroscope ultrasound while patients of control group were cured by holmium laser lithotripsy. A series of correlative indicators, such as some correlative indexes in during and post operation, complication situation of post operation and kidney function, were compared. Results:The differences about bleeding volume during operation and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups were significant (t=12.475, t=7.659, P<0.05). For clearance rate of calculus and incidence of complication, the differences between the two groups were significant (x2=6.048, x2=7.159, P<0.05). And the differences of separation index of renal pelvis collective system, creatinine and urea nitrogen post treatment between the two groups also were significant (t=8.529, t=7.058, t=10.596, P<0.05). Conclusion: Comparing with the traditional holmium laser lithotripsy, the clinical better effect of pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy under percutaneous nephroscope ultrasound for complex renal calculi is significant. Its series of advantages, such as shorter operation time, faster recovery, safer and reliable for patients and lower incidence of postoperative complication and so on, can effectively relieve the renal function for patients.

Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out for the clinical data of 72 elderly DLSS patients treated with modified transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) during the period from October, 2012 to October, 2013. The patients were divided into two groups, 39 in Chinese medicine group and 33 in control group. Operative efficacy was evaluated with Japanese Orthopaedic Association ( JOA) scores for assessment of cervical myelopathy, postoperative function improvement was evaluated by Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores, and lumbar interbody fusion was evaluated by the modified Brantigan scores. Results (1) During the follow-up period, patients of the two groups had no complications such as screw breaking or loosening, cage displacement, or endplate collapse. (2) Before opera tion and 3 days after operation, the differences of JOA scores were insignificant between the two groups (P>0.05) . (3) Significant difference of intragroup ODI scores were shown 12 months after operation vs 6 months after operation, and between 6 months after operation and pre-operation in the two groups (P<0.01) . ODI scores of Chinese medicine group 6 and 12 months after operation were lower than those of the control group, the difference being significant ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . ( 4) The results of modified Brantigan scoring showed that the interbody fusion rate 6 months after operation was 71.79% in Chinese medicine group, higher than 48.48% in the control group ( P<0.05) . Twelve months months after operation, the interbody fusion rate was 87.18% in Chinese medicine group, higher than 66.67% in the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Herbs for nourishing kidney and strengthening governor vessel may improve the lumbar interbody fusion rate and the quality of life of the elderly DLSS patients treated by modified TLIF.

Résumé
Associations between "lipid-related" candidate genes, blood lipid concentrations and coronary artery disease (CHD) risk are not clear. We aimed to investigate the effect of three newly identified lipids loci from genome-wide association studies on CHD and blood lipid levels in Chinese Han population. The genotypes of SNPs at three newly identified lipid loci and blood lipids concentrations were examined in 1360 CHD patients and 1360 age- and sex-frequency matched controls from an unrelated Chinese Han population. Allele T of rs16996148 occurred less frequently in CHD patients with the odds ratio (OR) being 0.64 (95% CI 0.50 to 0.81), after adjusting for conventional risk factors and was associated with a 33% decreased CHD risk (P<0.01) comparing with the major allele G. Individuals with GT genotype had the lowest CHD risk. No associations were found between the polymorphisms of other two loci with CHD risk and all three SNPs had no effect on lipid profile in this population. SNP rs16996148 on chromosome 19p13 is significantly associated with lower risk for CHD in Chinese Han population. However, it remains unresolved why these lipid-related loci had significantly less effects than the correspondingly expected effects on blood lipids levels in this population.

Objective To investigate effects of endothelial adhesion molecule platelet endothelial cell odhesion molecule-1(PECAM-1),intercellular adhesion molecule-3(ICAM-3) and CD44 on lymphangiogenesis. Methods The lymphatic endothelial cells of the canine thoracic ducts were isolated and incubated.PECAM-1,ICAM-3 and CD44 on the lymphatic endothelial cells were labeled and visualized under fluorescence microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope.The endothelial cells stimulated by TNF-? or LPS were treated with the blocking antibodies against PECAM-1, ICAM-3 and CD44 respectively.The proliferation and migration of cells were determined with cell counting. The three-dimensional collagen gel model of lymphangiogenesis was prepared, and then the tube formation was viewed. The total length and area of the tubes formed from lymphatic endothelial cells were measured and their characteristics were examined with a transmission electron microscope. Results PECAM-1, ICAM-3 and CD44 were expressed on the lymphatic endothelial cells. In the control, TNF-? and LPS groups, the percentage of the migrated cells decreased and the total length and area of the tubes reduced after PECAM-1, ICAM-3 and CD44 of the cells were blocked respectively. The proliferated cells reduced after PECAM-1 or CD44 of the cells were blocked. However, there were no significant changes in the numbers of proliferated cells when ICAM-3 of the cells was blocked. In the semi-ultrathin and ultrathin sections, the tube structures formed by lymphatic endothelial cells were similar to lymphatic capillary.Conclusion PECAM-1, ICAM-3 and CD44 are expressed on the cultured lymphatic endothelial cells. These adhesion molecules are involved in lymphangiogenesis that includes proliferation, migration and tube formation of endothelial cells.
