Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) promotes tissue healing by modulating inflammation, which has implications for meniscal tear healing in the avascular zone. PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of a single dose of radial ESWT on the healing process and inflammation of the meniscus and knee joints after meniscal tears in the avascular zone. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Avascular tears were induced in the medial meniscus (MM) of 72 Sprague-Dawley rats. One week postoperatively, the rats received a single session of radial ESWT with a Power+ handpiece (ESWT group; n = 36) or with a fake handpiece (sham-ESWT group; n = 36). The rats were then euthanized at 2, 4, or 8 weeks postoperatively. The MMs were harvested for analysis of healing (hematoxylin-eosin, safranin O-Fast Green, and collagen type 2 staining) and inflammation (interleukin [IL]-1β and IL-6 staining). Lateral menisci and synovia were obtained to evaluate knee joint inflammation (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of IL-1β and IL-6). Cartilage degeneration was assessed in the femurs and tibial plateaus using safranin O-Fast Green staining. RESULTS The ESWT group showed significantly better meniscal healing scores than the sham-ESWT group at 4 (P = .0066) and 8 (P = .0050) weeks postoperatively. The IL-1β level was significantly higher in the sham-ESWT group than in the ESWT group at 2 (MM: P = .0009; knee joint: P = .0160) and 8 (MM: P = .0399; knee joint: P = .0001) weeks. The IL-6 level was significantly lower in the sham-ESWT group than in the ESWT group at 2 (knee joint: P = .0184) and 4 (knee joint: P = .0247) weeks but higher at 8 weeks (MM: P = .0169; knee joint: P = .0038). The sham group had significantly higher osteoarthritis scores than the ESWT group at 4 (tibial plateau: P = .0157) and 8 (femur: P = .0048; tibial plateau: P = .0359) weeks. CONCLUSION A single dose of radial ESWT promoted meniscal tear healing in the avascular zone, modulated inflammatory factors in the menisci and knee joints in rats, and alleviated cartilage degeneration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Radial ESWT can be considered a potential option for improving meniscal tear healing in the avascular zone because of its ability to modulate inflammation.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of epileptic seizure associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Methods: From January 2017 to July 2023 at Children's Hospital Capital Institute of Pediatrics, medical records of patients with both NF1 and epileptic seizure were reviewed in this case series study. The clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 15 patients(12 boys and 3 girls) were collected. Café-au-lait macules were observed in all 15 patients. There were 6 patients with neurodevelopmental disorders and the main manifestations were intellectual disability or developmental delay. The age at the first epileptic seizure was 2.5 (1.2, 5.5) years. There were various seizure types, including generalized tonic-clonic seizures in 8 patients, focal motor seizures in 6 patients, epileptic spasm in 4 patients, tonic seizures in 1 patient, absence in 1 patient, generalized myoclonic seizure in 1 patient and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure in 1 patient. Among 14 patients whose brain magnetic resonance imaging results were available, there were abnormal signals in corpus callosum, basal ganglia, thalamus or cerebellum in 6 patients, dilated ventricles of different degrees in 3 patients, blurred gray and white matter boundary in 2 patients, agenesis of corpus callosum in 1 patient and no obvious abnormalities in the other patients. Among 13 epilepsy patients, 8 were seizure-free with 1 or 2 antiseizure medications(ASM), 1 with drug resistant epilepsy was seizure-free after left temporal lobectomy, and the other 4 patients who have received 2 to 9 ASM had persistent seizures. One patient with complex febrile convulsion achieved seizure freedom after oral administration of diazepam on demand. One patient had only 1 unprovoked epileptic seizure and did not have another seizure without taking any ASM. Conclusions: The first epileptic seizure in NF1 patients usually occurs in infancy and early childhood, with the main seizure type of generalized tonic-clonic seizure and focal motor seizure. Some patients have intellectual disability or developmental delay. Most epilepsy patients achieve seizure freedom with ASM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Blood supply to the meniscus determines its recovery and is a reference for treatment planning. This study aimed to apply tissue clearing and three-dimensional (3D) imaging in exploring the quantitative distribution of blood vessels in the mouse meniscus. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, tissue clearing was performed to treat the bilateral knee joints of transgenic mice with fluorescent vascular endothelial cells. Images were acquired using a light sheet microscope and the vascular endothelial cells in the meniscus was analysed using 3D imaging. Quantitative methods were employed to further analyse the blood vessel distribution in the mouse meniscus. RESULTS The traditional three-equal-width division of the meniscus is as follows: the outer one-third is the red-red zone (RR), the inner one-third is the white-white zone (WW), and the transition area is the red-white zone (RW). The division revealed significant signal differences between the RW and WW (P<0.05) zones, but no significant differences between the RR and RW zones, which indicated that the division might not accurately reflect the blood supply of the meniscus. According to the modified division (4:2:1) in which significant differences were ensured between the adjacent zones, we observed that the width ratio of each zone was 38 ± 1% (RR), 24 ± 1% (RW), and 38 ± 2% (WW). Furthermore, the blood supply to each region was verified. The anterior region had the most abundant blood supply. The fluorescence count in the anterior region was significantly higher than in the central and posterior regions (P<0.05). The blood supply of the medial meniscus was superior to the lateral meniscus (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Analysis of the blood supply to the mouse meniscus under tissue clearing and 3D imaging reflect quantitative blood vessel distribution, which would facilitate future evaluations of the human meniscus and provide more anatomical references for clinicians.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and genetic features of combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 32 (COXPD32) caused by MRPS34 gene variation. Methods: The clinical data and genetic test of a child with COXPD32 hospitalized in the Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics in March 2021 were extracted and analyzed. A literature search was implemented using Wanfang, China biology medicine disc, China national knowledge infrastructure, ClinVar, human gene mutation database (HGMD) and Pubmed databases with the key words "MRPS34" "MRPS34 gene" and "combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 32" (up to February 2023). Clinical and genetic features of COXPD32 were summarized. Results: A boy aged 1 year and 9 months was admitted due to developmental delay. He showed mental and motor retardation, and was below the 3rd percentile for height, weight, and head circumference of children of the same age and gender. He had poor eye contact, esotropia, flat nasal bridge, limbs hypotonia, holding instability and tremors. In addition, Grade Ⅲ/6 systolic murmur were heard at left sternal border. Arterial blood gases suggested that severe metabolic acidosis with lactic acidosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple symmetrical abnormal signals in the bilateral thalamus, midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata. Echocardiography showed atrial septal defect. Genetic testing identified the patient as a compound heterozygous variation of MRPS34 gene, c.580C>T (p.Gln194Ter) and c.94C>T (p.Gln32Ter), with c.580C>T being the first report and a diagnosis of COXPD32. His parents carried a heterozygous variant, respectively. The child improved after treatment with energy support, acidosis correction, and "cocktail" therapy (vitaminB1, vitaminB2, vitaminB6, vitaminC and coenzyme Q10). A total of 8 cases with COXPD32 were collected through 2 English literature reviews and this study. Among the 8 patients, 7 cases had onset during infancy and 1 was unknown, all had developmental delay or regression, 7 cases had feeding difficulty or dysphagia, followed by dystonia, lactic acidosis, ocular symptoms, microcephaly, constipation and dysmorphic facies(mild coarsening of facial features, small forehead, anterior hairline extending onto forehead,high and narrow palate, thick gums, short columella, and synophrys), 2 cases died of respiratory and circulatory failure, and 6 were still alive at the time of reporting, with an age range of 2 to 34 years. Blood and (or) cerebrospinal fluid lactate were elevated in all 8 patients. MRI in 7 cases manifested symmetrical abnormal signals in the brainstem, thalamus, and (or) basal ganglia. Urine organic acid test were all normal but 1 patient had alanine elevation. Five patients underwent respiratory chain enzyme activity testing, and all had varying degrees of enzyme activity reduction. Six variants were identified, 6 patients were homozygous variants, with c.322-10G>A was present in 4 patients from 2 families and 2 compound heterozygous variants. Conclusions: The clinical phenotype of COXPD32 is highly heterogenous and the severity of the disease varies from development delay, feeding difficulty, dystonia, high lactic acid, ocular symptoms and reduced mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme activity in mild cases, which may survive into adulthood, to rapid death due to respiratory and circulatory failure in severe cases. COXPD32 needs to be considered in cases of unexplained acidosis, hyperlactatemia, feeding difficulties, development delay or regression, ocular symptoms, respiratory and circulatory failure, and symmetrical abnormal signals in the brainstem, thalamus, and (or) basal ganglia, and genetic testing can clarify the diagnosis.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) show potential as a therapeutic tool for peripheral nerve injury (PNI), promoting neurological regeneration. However, there are limited data on the in vivo spatio-temporal trafficking and biodistribution of EVs. In this study, we introduce a new non-invasive near-infrared fluorescence imaging strategy based on glucose-conjugated quantum dot (QDs-Glu) labeling to target and track EVs in a sciatic nerve injury rat model in real-time. Our results demonstrate that the injected EVs migrated from the uninjured site to the injured site of the nerve, with an increase in fluorescence signals detected from 4 to 7 days post-injection, indicating the release of contents from the EVs with therapeutic effects. Immunofluorescence and behavioral tests revealed that the EV therapy promoted nerve regeneration and functional recovery at 28 days post-injection. We also found a relationship between functional recovery and the NIR-II fluorescence intensity change pattern, providing novel evidence for the therapeutic effects of EV therapy using real-time NIR-II imaging at the live animal level. This approach initiates a new path for monitoring EVs in treating PNI under in vivo NIR-II imaging, enhancing our understanding of the efficacy of EV therapy on peripheral nerve regeneration and its mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although meniscal injury is common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, the underlying process in different meniscal regions remains unclear. PURPOSE To investigate macroscopic and histological alterations in different meniscal regions in an ACL transection (ACLT) rabbit model. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS ACLT was performed on New Zealand White rabbits. Both the medial meniscus (MM) and the lateral meniscus (LM) of the ACLT knees were obtained at 8 (n = 6) and 26 (n = 6) weeks postoperatively. MM and LM collected from nonoperated knees were considered 0 weeks (n = 6) postoperatively. Menisci were then divided into posterior, central, and anterior regions for macroscopic (width) and histological (hematoxylin and eosin, safranin O/fast green, collagen type 2 [COL2]) analysis. RESULTS The macroscopic widths of MM and LM increased and then decreased over 26 weeks postoperatively, with all 3 MM widths at 8 weeks significantly wider than at 0 weeks (posterior: P < .01; central: P < .05; anterior: P < .05). In the MM, chondrocyte-like cell density increased and then decreased postoperatively, whereas in the LM, it decreased and then remained almost unchanged. Cell density was significantly higher in the central MM region at 8 weeks than at 0 weeks (P < .05). Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and COL2 percentages of MM and LM decreased from 0 to 8 weeks and then returned to nearly normal levels at 26 weeks postoperatively. In the MM, the GAG percentage in the posterior (P < .05) and central (P < .01) regions and the COL2 percentage in the posterior region (P < .05) was significantly lower at 8 weeks than at 0 weeks. CONCLUSION After ACLT in rabbit meniscus, the extracellular matrix (ECM) initially decreased and then increased to almost normal. Additionally, there were significant differences in the ECM percentage in the posterior and central regions of the MM in comparison with other meniscal regions between 0 and 8 weeks postoperatively. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results indicate that the time for meniscal injury after ACL injury is important, and attention should be paid to the posterior and central regions of the MM after ACLT.

Abstract
Advancements in lymphography technology are essential for comprehensive investigation of the lymphatic system and its function. Here, a shortwave infrared (SWIR) luminescence imaging of lymphatic vessels is proposed in both normal and lymphatic dysfunction in rat models with PbS quantum dots (PbS Qdots). The lymphography with PbS Qdots can clearly and rapidly demonstrate the normal lymphatic morphology in both the tail and hind limb. More importantly, compared to ICG, SWIR luminescence imaging with PbS Qdots can easily identify the dominant lymphatic vessel and node with higher luminescence signal in rats. Moreover, lymphatic pump is identified as segment contracting sections with a size of ≈1 cm in rat by in vivo SWIR lymphograhy, which propose a direct feature for precise evaluation of lymphatic function. Notably, in vivo SWIR luminescence imaging with PbS Qdots also clearly deciphers the in vivo pattern of morphological and function recovery from lymphatic system in rat model. In summary, SWIR luminescence imaging with PbS Qdots can improve the lymphography and thus deepen the understanding of the morphology and structure of the lymphatic system as well as lymphatic function such as lymphatic pump, which will facilitate the diagnosis of lymphatic dysfunction in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corticosteroid injections (CSIs) are effective in alleviating pain in patients with rotator cuff tears, but controversy still exists regarding their potential adverse effects on clinical outcomes after rotator cuff repair. PURPOSE To compare both the functional and the structural outcomes in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with or without preoperative CSIs. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was carried out among patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for partial- and full-thickness tears between 2015 and 2019. The patients who received preoperative CSIs were included in the CSI group and compared with a group without preoperative CSIs (non-CSI group), matched at a ratio of 1:2 based on tear size, age, and follow-up time. Both functional evaluation and structural assessments using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed at the final follow-up. Clinical outcomes-including retear rate as the primary outcome; pain; functional scores including the Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and Fudan University Shoulder Score; range of motion (ROM); tendon integrity; tendon healing type; and cartilage thickness-were compared between the 2 groups with a statistical significance of P < .05 and power of 0.9. RESULTS Thirty-one patients were included in the CSI group, and 62 were included in the non-CSI group. After a mean 3-year follow-up, the 2 groups demonstrated no significant differences in retear rate; visual analog scale for pain; shoulder functional scores; and active ROM including forward flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation. No significant differences were observed on postoperative MRI scans of the rotator cuff tendon (tendon integrity, healing type, residual tendon attachment area, etc), cartilage thickness, and muscle atrophy. CONCLUSION No significant differences were found at a mean 3-year follow-up in the retear rates, pain, ROM, and glenohumeral structure on postoperative MRI scans after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with or without preoperative CSIs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a nomogram to detect improved knee pain in osteoarthritis (OA) by integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics signature of subchondral bone and clinical characteristics. METHODS Participants were selected from the Vitamin D Effects on Osteoarthritis (VIDEO) study. The primary outcome was 20% improvement of knee pain score over 2 years in participants administrated either vitamin D or placebo. Radiomics features of subchondral bone and clinical characteristics from 216 participants were extracted and analyzed. The participants were randomly split into the training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 8:2. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to select features and generate radiomics signatures. The optimal radiomics signature and clinical indicators were fitted into a nomogram using multivariable logistic regression model. RESULTS The nomogram showed favorable discrimination performance [AUCtraining, 0.79 (95% CI: 0.72-0.79), AUCvalidation, 0.83 (95% CI: 0.70-0.96)] as well as a good calibration. Additional contributing value of fusion radiomics signature to the nomogram was statistically significant (NRI, 0.23; IDI, 0.14, P < 0.001 in training cohort and NRI, 0.29; IDI, 0.18, P < 0.05 in validating cohort). Decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical usefulness of nomogram. CONCLUSION The radiomics-based nomogram comprising the MR radiomics signature and clinical variables achieves a favorable predictive efficacy and accuracy in differentiating improvement in knee pain among OA patients. This proof-of-concept study provides a promising way to predict clinically meaningful outcomes.

Abstract
The degradation of collagen in different body parts is a critical point for designing collagen-based biomedical products. Here, three kinds of collagens labeled by second near-infrared (NIR-II) quantum dots (QDs), including collagen with low crosslinking degree (LC), middle crosslinking degree (MC) and high crosslinking degree (HC), were injected into the subcutaneous tissue, muscle and joints of the mouse model, respectively, in order to investigate the in vivo degradation pattern of collagen by NIR-II live imaging. The results of NIR-II imaging indicated that all tested collagens could be fully degraded after 35 days in the subcutaneous tissue, muscle and joints of the mouse model. However, the average degradation rate of subcutaneous tissue (k = 0.13) and muscle (k = 0.23) was slower than that of the joints (shoulder: k = 0.42, knee: k = 0.55). Specifically, the degradation rate of HC (k = 0.13) was slower than LC (k = 0.30) in muscle, while HC showed the fastest degradation rate in the shoulder and knee joints. In summary, NIR-II imaging could precisely identify the in vivo degradation rate of collagen. Moreover, the degradation rate of collagen was more closely related to the implanted body parts rather than the crosslinking degree of collagen, which was slower in the subcutaneous tissue and muscle compared to the joints in the mouse model.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of the number and location of anchors for remplissage on postoperative glenohumeral biomechanics. METHODS A biomechanical study was conducted involving finite element model constructed based on data from the intact glenohumeral joint. Seven models were established, including a normal model, a model of Bankart lesion combined with "off-track" Hill-Sachs lesion, a model of Bankart repair alone, and 4 models of Bankart repair with remplissage based on different remplissage anchor numbers and locations. The effects of the number and location of the remplissage anchors on glenohumeral stability were studied through calculation and comparison of (1) the stress and its distribution on the joint capsule, cartilage, labrum and anchors as well as (2) the displacement of the humeral head. RESULTS Finite element analysis demonstrated that contact stress on the glenohumeral cartilage decreased when medial or 2 anchors were used and was minimized in the combined repair model with 2 medial anchors. The stress on remplissage anchors was greater when the anchors were placed medially. The humeral head displacement was maximized in the combined lesion model. The combined repair models with 2 medially placed anchors showed the largest slope on the force-displacement curve, indicating the largest strain on the humeral head. CONCLUSIONS Based on a finite element analysis, Bankart repair with remplissage restored better shoulder stability compared with Bankart repair alone in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability involving Bankart lesion combined with "off-track" Hill-Sachs lesion. When the anchor for remplissage was medially placed or 2 anchors were used, the stability of the glenohumeral joint increased but with a loss of range of motion. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results of this study will assist in choosing the number and location of anchors for remplissage during shoulder stabilization surgery although with some limitations.

Abstract
Objective: Although previous epidemiological studies have reported substantial links between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and celiac disease (CeD), the causal relationship between the two remains unknown. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the bidirectional causation between IBD and CeD using Mendelian randomization (MR).Method: We obtained genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of IBD (CD and UC) and CeD of thoroughly European ancestry from the IEU GWAS database. We screened eligible instrumental variables (IVs) according to the three assumptions of MR. MR was performed using MR-Egger, weighted median (WM), and inverse variance weighted (IVW) methods. The MR-Egger intercept and MR-PRESSO method investigated the horizontal pleiotropy effect. A leave-one-out analysis was performed to prevent bias caused by a single SNP.Results: The study assessed a bidirectional causal effect between CD and CeD; CD increased the risk of CeD (IVW odds ratio (OR) = 1.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.19–1.35, p = 3.75E-13) and vice-a-versa (IVW OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.05–1.13, p = 1.39E-05). Additionally, CeD was influenced by IBD (IVW OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.16–1.34, p = 9.42E-10) and UC (IVW OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.83–0.98, p = 0.017). However, we observed no evidence of a causal relationship between CeD and IBD (IVW OR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.97–1.04, p = 0.900) or UC (IVW OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.92–1.02, p = 0.172).Conclusion: The present study revealed that IBD and CeD have a bidirectional causal relationship. However, it is slightly different from the results of previous observational studies, recommending that future studies focus on the mechanisms of interaction between CD and CeD.

Abstract
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of adverse pregnancy outcomes due to invasive infection. This study investigated longitudinal variation in GBS rectovaginal colonization, serum and vaginal GBS capsular polysaccharide (CPS)-specific antibody levels. Non-pregnant women were recruited in the UK and were sampled every 2 weeks over a 12-week period. GBS isolates were taken from recto-vaginal swabs and serotyped by polymerase chain reaction. Serum and vaginal immunoglobulin G (IgG) and nasal immunoglobulin A (IgA) specific to CPS were measured by Luminex, and total IgG/A by ELISA. Seventy women were enrolled, of median age 26. Out of the 66 participants who completed at least three visits: 14/47 (29.8%) women that were GBS negative at screening became positive in follow-up visits and 16/19 (84.2%) women who were GBS positive at screening became negative. There was 50% probability of becoming negative 36 days after the first positive swab. The rate of detectable GBS carriage fluctuated over time, although serum, vaginal, and nasal CPS-specific antibody levels remained constant. Levels of CPS-specific antibodies were higher in the serum of individuals colonized with GBS than in non-colonized, but similar in the vaginal and nasal mucosa. We found correlations between antibody levels in serum and the vaginal and nasal mucosa. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of elution methods to retrieve vaginal and nasal antibodies, and the optimization of immunoassays to measure GBS-CPS-specific antibodies. The difference between the dynamics of colonization and antibody response is interesting and further investigation is required for vaccine development.

Abstract
To establish a model based on inflammation index and tumor burden score (TBS) to predict recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver resection. A retrospective study was performed on 217 patients who diagnosed HCC underwent liver resection at Xiangya Hospital Central South University from June 1, 2017 to June 1, 2019. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the optimal cut-off value of inflammatory index and the TBS was determined by the Youden index. Prediction performance was compared by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Cox regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for the recurrence of HCC after liver resection. According to the independent risk factors of the patients, a prediction model for HCC was established based on inflammation index and tumor burden score (TBS).The prediction performance of the model was compared with single index (TBS group and NLR group) and traditional HCC stage models (TNM stage and BCLC stage). MLR = 0.39, NLR = 2.63, PLR = 134, SII = 428 and TBS = 8.06 are the optimal cut-off values. AUC of SII, PLR, NLR, MLR and TBS were 0.643, 0.642, 0.642, 0.618 and 0.724respectively. MVI (P = 0.005), satellite nodule (P = 0.017), BCLC B-C stage (P = 0.013), NLR > 2.63 (P = 0.013), TBS > 8.06 (P = 0.017) are independent risk factors for the recurrence of HCC after liver resection. According to this study, the optimal inflammatory index NLR combined with TBS was obtained. The AUC of NLR-TBS model was 0.762, not only better than NLR group (AUC = 0.630) and TBS group (AUC = 0.671), also better than traditional BCLC (AUC = 0.620) and TNM (AUC = 0.587) stage models. Interestingly, we found that NLR and TBS should be good prognostic factor for recurrence of HCC after liver resection. The NLR-TBS model based the best inflammatory index (NLR) and TBS have a better prediction performance and the prediction performance of NLR-TBS model not only better than NLR group and TBS group, but better than BCLC and TNM stage models.

Abstract
The feasibility of using steel slag and bentonite mixtures to construct the hydraulic barrier of a landfill cover was explored in the present study. Fine-grained steel slag (SS; particle diameter < 1 mm) and sodium-activated calcium bentonite (SACB) were used to prepare compacted specimens, and the saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) was measured using a flexible-wall permeameter. Influential factors including SACB content (BC), SS gradation, water-washing treatment of SS and compaction water content (ωcomp) were investigated. The hydraulic conductivity results were interpreted in microscopic scale through mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that when BC was below 10%, the ks value of the specimens prepared with well graded SS was about one order of magnitude lower than that of the specimens prepared with poorly graded SS. This was due to less macropores caused by better SS gradation. Yet, the effects of SS gradation on ks diminished as BC further increased to 15%, suggesting the dominant role of BC on ks at high BC. Water-washing treatment of SS helped reduce ks significantly to 1.2 × 10-10 m/s at BC of 10%, owing to less multivalent cations and hence lower osmotic swelling reduction caused by cations. Controlling ωcomp 1-2% wetter than the optimum water content (ωopt) also helped reduce ks significantly, owing to the reduction of macropores. Accordingly, it is suggested to use well-graded SS mixed with 10% SACB and then compact at ωcomp slightly wetter than ωopt to the degree of compaction greater than 90% in engineering practice.

Abstract
Surgeons face great challenges in acquiring high-performance imaging because fluorescence probes with desired thermal stability remains rare. Here, hybrid lead sulfide/zinc sulfide quantum dots (PbS/ZnS QDs) nanostructures emitting in the long-wavelength end of the second near-infrared (NIR-IIb) window were synthesized and conjugated with Ribonuclease-A (RNase A). Such formed RNase A@PbS/ZnS QDs exhibited strong NIR IIb fluorescence and thermal stability, as supported by the photoluminescent emission assessment at different temperatures. This will allow the RNase A@PbS/ZnS QDs to provide stable fluorescence signals for long-time intraoperative imaging navigation, despite often happened, undesirable thermal accumulation in vivo. Compared to NIR-IIa fluorescence imaging, NIR-IIb vascular fluorescence imaging achieved larger penetration depth, higher signal/background ratios and nearly zero endogenous tissue autofluorescence. Moreover, these QDs illustrate the reliability during the real-time and long-time precise assessment of flap perfusion by clearly visualizing microvasculature map. These findings contribute to intraoperative imaging navigation with higher precision and lower risk.

Abstract
In the study, new polymeric micelles loaded with azithromycin were prepared to enhance azithromycin's solubility and evaluate its in vitro/in vivo antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Amphiphilic α-Linolenic acid-methoxy poly (ethylene glycol) polymer (MPEG-LNA) was synthesized through DCC-DMAP esterification procedure. Through thin-film hydration method, optimized azithromycin-loaded micelles (AZI-M) were prepared with 87.15% of encapsulation efficiency and 11.07% of drug loading capacity when the ratio of LNA to MPEG was 4. Azithromycin's water-solubility was obviously enhanced due to its loading into the polymeric micelles. The azithromycin-loaded micelles were characterized in terms of x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, in vitro release, and in vitro/in vivo antibacterial experiments. Although the drug-loaded micelles provided a slow and continuous azithromycin's release in comparison with free azithromycin, in vitro antibacterial activity results confirmed that its effect on the inhibition of bacterial growth and biofilm formation was similar to free azithromycin. It is more interesting that the azithromycin-loaded micelles achieved good in vivo antibacterial therapeutic effect like QiXian® (azithromycin lactobionate injection) in mouse model of intraperitoneal infection. AZI-M can be considered as a potential candidate for in vivo antibiotic therapy of Staphylococcus aureus infections.

Abstract
The data of clinical characteristics, medical cost and prognosis of 22 anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis children from the Department of Neurology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics between May 2018 and January 2021 were analyzed, and 6 of them occurred paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity syndrome (PSH). It was found that the anti-NMDAR encephalitis children with PSH had severer consciousness disorder [median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at admission: 7.5], longer duration of consciousness disorder (median time: 53 days), higher hospitalization cost (median cost: 230 000 RMB), severer neurological injury at onset [median modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at admission: 4], and longer recovery time of neurological function (median time of mRS score recovered to 0-2: 7 months), compared with those without PSH (all P<0.05). Therefore, more attention should be paid to sympathetic excited symptoms of anti NMDAR encephalitis, and thus identify and intervene early on PSH to reduce the neurological damage and economic burden.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based soft and stretchable materials with skin/tissue-like mechanical properties provide new avenues for the design and fabrication of wearable sensors. However, synthesizing multifunctional hydrogels that simultaneously possess excellent mechanical, electrical and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness is still a great challenge. In this work, the freeze-casting method is employed to fabricate a multifunctional hydrogel by filling Fe3O4 clusters into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite aqueous solution. The hydrogel possesses superior electrical and mechanical properties as well as great electromagnetic wave shielding properties. Benefiting from the high stretchability (∼904.5%) and fast sensing performance (response time ∼9 ms and self-recovery time ∼12 ms within the strain range ∼100%), the monitoring of human activities and manipulation of a remote-controlled toy car using the hydrogel-based stretchable strain sensors are successfully demonstrated. In addition, a great EMI shielding effectiveness with more than 46 dB in the frequencies of 8-12.5 GHz can be obtained, which provides an alternative strategy for designing next-generation EMI shielding materials. These results indicate that the multifunctional hydrogels can be used as flexible and stretchable sensing electronics requiring effective EMI shielding.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary plaque progression is a major risk factor of adverse cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Emerging evidence showed that attenuated high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function measured by cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) was associated with development of atherosclerosis independent of HDL cholesterol level. In this study, we sought to investigate whether CEC is a predictor for coronary plaque progression in CHD patients.
Methods
We consecutively enrolled CHD patients from January 2017 to August 2019 in our Hospital who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention and had at least one non-target coronary lesion. Follow-up coronary angiography were performed at around 12 months. Fluorescence-labeled cholesterol and J774 macrophages were used to measure the CEC of ApoB-depleted serum sample from all patients. Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) was performed both at baseline and follow-up to analyze the plaque progression.
Results
A total of 430 CHD patients with 586 non-target coronary lesions were included in the final analysis. During a mean follow-up time of 381.04±59.52 days, patients with decreased CEC presented more severe plaque progression (net luminal loss in highest to lowest CEC quartile: 0.22±0.42mm vs 0.20±0.41mm vs 0.13±0.36mm vs 0.11±0.34mm, p=0.035). In multivariate analysis, baseline CEC was independently associated with coronary plaque progression after adjustment for traditional risk factors including HDL cholesterol and ApoA-I, no matter treated as categorical variable (OR: 0.382 [95% CI 0.180–0.781] for highest to lowest quartile) or continuous variable (OR: 0.522 [95% CI 0.373–0.714] for per SD increase]. Furthermore, CEC demonstrated a better power in predicting coronary plaque progression compared with HDL cholesterol concentration (AUC=0.644 vs 0.514).
Conclusions
This study suggests that HDL function reflected by serum CEC is an independent predictor for coronary plaque progression in CHD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To optimize the protocol of meniscus cell extraction to enhance the efficiency of cell suspension preparation and maintain a high cell viability for single-cell RNA sequencing. METHODS We compared the efficiency of the routine cell extraction methods (short-time digestion and long-time digestion) and the optimized protocol for obtaining meniscus cell suspensions by evaluating the cell number obtained and the cell viability. Single-cell RNA sequencing datasets were analyzed to evaluate the stability of the cell suspension prepared using the optimized protocol. The reliability of the optimized protocol was assessed by comparing the single-cell RNA sequencing dataset obtained by the optimized protocol with published single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of the meniscus. RESULTS The optimized protocol harvested a greater number of cells (over 1×105) than the routine protocols. The cell suspension prepared with the optimized protocol showed a cell viability higher than 80%, the highest among the 3 methods. Analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets showed that the ratio of the mitochondrial genes was below 20% in over 80% of the cells. CD34+ cells, MCAM+ cells and COL1A1+ cells were identified in the datasets. Comparison with the publish datasets showed that the optimized protocol was capable of harvesting COL3A1+, COL1A1+, MYLK+, BMP2+, CD93+ and CDK1+ cells. CONCLUSION Single-cell suspension prepared from the meniscus can be stably obtained using the optimized protocol for single-cell RNA sequencing using the 10× Genomics platform.

Abstract
Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) has been considered as promising electrocatalysts for catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to its narrow band gap and appropriate adsorption free energy. However, its catalytic performance is still impeded by inferior electrical conductivity and insufficient active sites, thus leading to unsatisfactory HER performance. Herein, MoSe2@N-doped carbon (NC) hollow nanoflowers with interfacial Mo-N-C bonds were controllably fabricated through the in situ selenization of the self-polymerized Mo-polydopamine precursor. Benefiting from the unique hollow structure, NC protective layer, and intimate interfacial interaction, the optimal MoSe2@NC displays good HER performance with low overpotentials (175 and 183 mV) and long-term stability (up to 12 h at -10 mA cm-2) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH solutions, respectively. The theoretical results show that Mo-N-C bonds at the interface of MoSe2@NC give rise to relatively low unoccupied eg orbital density of states and ideal H2 adsorption free energy. This work presented here highlights the critical role of interfacial chemical bonds in regulating the electronic structure of nanomaterials and further improving the HER performance.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury gives rise to devastating conditions including neural dysfunction, unbearable pain and even paralysis. The therapeutic effect of current treatment for peripheral nerve injury is unsatisfactory, resulting in slow nerve regeneration and incomplete recovery of neural function. In this study, nerve suture combined with ADSCs injection was adopted in rat model of sciatic nerve injury. Under real-time visualization of the injected cells with the guidance of NIR-II fluorescence imaging in vivo, a spatio-temporal map displaying cell migration from the proximal injection site (0 day post-injection) of the nerve to the sutured site (7 days post-injection), and then to the distal section (14 days post-injection) was demonstrated. Furthermore, the results of electromyography and mechanical pain threshold indicated nerve regeneration and functional recovery after the combined therapy. Therefore, in the current study, the observed ADSCs migration in vivo, electrophysiological examination results and pathological changes all provided robust evidence for the efficacy of the applied treatment. Our approach of nerve suture combined with ADSCs injection in treating peripheral nerve injury under real-time NIR-II imaging monitoring in vivo added novel insights into the treatment for peripheral nerve injury, thus further enhancing in-depth understanding of peripheral nerve regeneration and the mechanism behind.

Abstract
The ACT-America project is a NASA Earth Venture Suborbital-2 mission designed to study the transport and fluxes of greenhouse gases. The open and freely available ACT-America data sets provide airborne in situ measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide, methane, trace gases, aerosols, clouds, and meteorological properties, airborne remote sensing measurements of aerosol backscatter, atmospheric boundary layer height and columnar content of atmospheric carbon dioxide, tower-based measurements, and modeled atmospheric mole fractions and regional carbon fluxes of greenhouse gases over the Central and Eastern United States. We conducted 121 research flights during five campaigns in four seasons during 2016-2019 over three regions of the US (Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and South) using two NASA research aircraft (B-200 and C-130). We performed three flight patterns (fair weather, frontal crossings, and OCO-2 underflights) and collected more than 1,140 h of airborne measurements via level-leg flights in the atmospheric boundary layer, lower, and upper free troposphere and vertical profiles spanning these altitudes. We also merged various airborne in situ measurements onto a common standard sampling interval, which brings coherence to the data, creates geolocated data products, and makes it much easier for the users to perform holistic analysis of the ACT-America data products. Here, we report on detailed information of data sets collected, the workflow for data sets including storage and processing of the quality controlled and quality assured harmonized observations, and their archival and formatting for users. Finally, we provide some important information on the dissemination of data products including metadata and highlights of applications of ACT-America data sets.

Abstract
Treatment according to the dynamic changes of bacterial load in vivo is critical for preventing progression of bacterial infections. Here, we present a lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) based second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging strategy for bacteria detection and real-time in vivo monitoring. Four strains of bacteria were labeled with synthesized PbS QDs which showed high bacteria labeling efficiency in vitro. Then bacteria at different concentrations were injected subcutaneously on the back of male nude mice for in vivo imaging. A series of NIR-II images taken at a predetermined time manner demonstrated changing patterns of photoluminescence (PL) intensity of infected sites, dynamically imaging a changing bacterial load in real-time. A detection limit around 102–104 CFU/ml was also achieved in vivo. Furthermore, analysis of pathology of infected sites were performed, which showed high biocompatibility of PbS QDs. Therefore, under the guidance of our developed NIR-II imaging system, real-time detection and spatiotemporal monitoring of bacterial infection in vivo can be achieved, thus facilitating anti-infection treatment under the guidance of the dynamic imaging of bacterial load in future.

Abstract
Objective: To study the influencing factors of influenza-associated severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) in children younger than 5 years of old in Suzhou, and to provide evidence to support the improvement of prevention and control strategies for influenza in children. Methods: We conducted a prospective influenza surveillance for hospitalized SARI and outpatient influenza-like illness (ILI) at Children's Hospital of Soochow University from April 2011 to March 2017. We compared the clinical and other characteristics of influenza-positive patients with SARI to those with ILI to find the differences and to identify influencing factors of influenza-associated SARI, using χ2 test and unconditional logistic regression. Results: We found 786 cases of influenza-associated ILI and 413 cases of influenza-associated SARI during the study period. Cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, asthma or wheezing were more common in influenza-associated SARI than in influenza-associated ILI (P<0.01). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression showed that the influencing factors which significantly associated with increased risk of influenza-associated SARI were as follows: younger age (<6 months OR=3.6, 6-23 months aOR=2.5), respiratory infection history within 3 months (aOR=4.5), chronic lung disease history (OR=3.4), fever above 39.0 ℃ (39.0-39.9 ℃ aOR=2.4, ≥40.0 ℃ aOR=6.0), and the presence of A/H1N1 (aOR=2.3), A/H3N2 (aOR=1.9). Conclusion: Children younger than 2 years old, with a history of chronic lung disease, a history of respiratory infection within 3 months, or with a fever peak above 39.0 ℃ should seek medical advice as soon as possible or receive annual influenza vaccination to reduce the incidence of influenza-associated serious outcomes.

Abstract
Background:Dermatomyositis (DM) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory infiltrates in the skin and muscle1. The genes and pathways in the inflamed myopathies in patients with DM are poorly understood2.Objectives:To identify the key genes and pathways associated with DM and further discover its pathogenesis.Methods:Muscle tissue gene expression profile (GSE143323) were acquired from the GEO database, which included 39 DM samples and 20 normal samples. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in DM muscle tissue were screened by adopting the R software. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed by Metascape online analysis tool. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was then constructed by STRING software using the genes in significantly different pathways. Network of DEGs was analyzed by Cytoscape software. And degree of nodes was used to screen key genes.Results:Totally, 126 DEGs were obtained, which contained 122 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated. GO analysis revealed that most of the DEGs were significantly enriched in type I interferon signaling pathway, response to interferon-gamma, collagen-containing extracellular matrix, response to interferon-alpha and bacterium, positive regulation of cell death, leukocyte chemotaxis. KEGG pathway analysis showed that upregulated DEGs enhanced pathways associated with the hepatitis C, complement and coagulation cascades, p53 signaling pathway, RIG-I-like receptor signaling, Osteoclast differentiation, and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway. Ten hub genes were identified in DM, they were ISG15, IRF7, STAT1, MX1, OASL, OAS2, OAS1, OAS3, GBP1, and IRF9 according to the Cytoscape software and cytoHubba plugin.Conclusion:The findings from this bioinformatics network analysis study identified the key hub genes that might provide new molecular markers for its diagnosis and treatment.References:[1]Olazagasti JM, Niewold TB, Reed AM.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory synovitis based systemic disease of unknown etiology1. The genes and pathways in the inflamed synovium of RA patients are poorly understood.Objectives:This study aims to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the progression of synovitis in RA using bioinformatics analysis and explore its pathogenesis2.Methods:RA expression profile microarray data GSE89408 were acquired from the public gene chip database (GEO), including 152 synovial tissue samples from RA and 28 healthy synovial tissue samples. The DEGs of RA synovial tissues were screened by adopting the R software. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were assembled with Cytoscape software.Results:A total of 654 DEGs (268 up-regulated genes and 386 down-regulated genes) were obtained by the differential analysis. The GO enrichment results showed that the up-regulated genes were significantly enriched in the biological processes of myeloid leukocyte activation, cellular response to interferon-gamma and immune response-regulating signaling pathway, and the down-regulated genes were significantly enriched in the biological processes of extracellular matrix, retinoid metabolic process and regulation of lipid metabolic process. The KEGG annotation showed the up-regulated genes mainly participated in the staphylococcus aureus infection, chemokine signaling pathway, lysosome signaling pathway and the down-regulated genes mainly participated in the PPAR signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction and so on. The 9 hub genes (PTPRC, TLR2, tyrobp, CTSS, CCL2, CCR5, B2M, fcgr1a and PPBP) were obtained based on the String database model by using the Cytoscape software and cytoHubba plugin3.Conclusion:The findings identified the molecular mechanisms and the key hub genes of pathogenesis and progression of RA.References:[1]Xiong Y, Mi BB, Liu MF, et al.

Abstract
Background:Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, genetic disease manifesting in the skin or joints or both, and also has a strong genetic predisposition and autoimmune pathogenic traits1. The hallmark of psoriasis is sustained inflammation that leads to uncontrolled keratinocyte proliferation and dysfunctional differentiation. And it’s also a chronic relapsing disease, which often necessitates a long-term therapy2.Objectives:To investigate the molecular mechanisms of psoriasis and find the potential gene targets for diagnosis and treating psoriasis.Methods:Total 334 gene expression data of patients with psoriasis research (GSE13355 GSE14905 and GSE30999) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. After data preprocessing and screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by R software. Online toll Metascape3 was used to analyze Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs. Interactions of proteins encoded by DEGs were discovered by Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) using STRING online software. Cytoscape software was utilized to visualize PPI and the degree of each DEGs was obtained by analyzing the topological structure of the PPI network.Results:A total of 611 DEGs were found to be differentially expressed in psoriasis. GO analysis revealed that up-regulated DEGs were mostly associated with defense and response to external stimulus while down-regulated DEGs were mostly associated with metabolism and synthesis of lipids. KEGG enrichment analysis suggested they were mainly enriched in IL-17 signaling, Toll-like receptor signaling and PPAR signaling pathways, Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and lipid metabolism. In addition, top 9 key genes (CXCL10, OASL, IFIT1, IFIT3, RSAD2, MX1, OAS1, IFI44 and OAS2) were identified through Cytoscape.Conclusion:DEGs of psoriasis may play an essential role in disease development and may be potential pathogeneses of psoriasis.References:[1]Boehncke WH, Schon MP.

Abstract
Background:Pulmonary arterial hypertension with systemic sclerosis (SSc-PAH) is the main cause of death in patients with SSc. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are very important to reduce the mortality of patients with SSc-PAH1. At present, there are not many sensitive markers for the diagnosis of SSc-PAH. Therefore, it is necessary to mine more sensitive markers as more accurate and practical predictors, which is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of SSc-PAH.Objectives:To discover the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and activated signaling pathways in SSc-PAH.Methods:Fifty-five samples (27 SSc-PAH v.s 28 normal controls) in GSE33463 chip data obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were included in this study. DEGs in SSc-PAH patients were screened by R, key pathways and hub genes were discoved by Metascape2, STRING3 and Cytoscape.Results:Total 431 genes with large differences were identified, including 238 up-regulated genes and 193 down-regulated genes, after standardizing the data (|logFC| > 1; P < 0.05). GO analysis showed that the upregulated genes were mainly involved in defense response to virus, hemoglobin complex, platelet alpha granule membrane and cytokine binding. The downregulated genes were mainly characterized by positive regulation of cell death, regulation of MAPK cascade, regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity and transcription factor AP-1 complex. Several significant enriched pathways obtained in the KEGG pathway analysis were Influenza A, Hepatitis C, IL-17 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Finally, after the selected differential genes were introduced into STRING online software, the data information of protein interaction network was derived, and 12 core genes in the network were identified, they were CXCL8, PPBP, LPAR1, FPR2, GNG11, CXCL10, LPAR5, JUN, C3AR1, CCR2, CCR3, IRF2.Conclusion:The genes and signal pathways related to SSc-PAH discovered by bioinformatics methods could not only provided new molecular markers for its diagnosis and treatment, but also provided new ideas for its related biological research.References:[1]Zheng JN, Li Y, Yan YM, et al.

Abstract
Background The influence of patient sex on clinical outcomes after arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization is unclear. Purpose To investigate sex-based differences in clinical outcomes after arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods A retrospective study was conducted among 76 patients who underwent arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization from February 2010 to December 2017. The patients were grouped by sex. The recurrence rate of instability was compared, as were pre- and postoperative pain scores, functional outcome scores, and active range of motion (ROM). Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was also performed for structural assessment of the glenohumeral joint. Results No significant difference was found in the recurrence rate between female and male patients (13.3% vs 14.8%; P ≥ .999; risk ratio, 1.107 [95% CI, 0.266-4.597]). Compared with male patients, female patients had a significantly lower preoperative Constant score (94.4 ± 6.4 vs 85.4 ± 11.1; P = .002), forward flexion (173.8° ± 10.7° vs 154.0° ± 33.8°; P = .011), abduction (171.0° ± 18.4° vs 142.7° ± 39.9°; P = .001), and external rotation (76.6° ± 21.6° vs 67.7° ± 20.4°; P = .037). Postoperatively, female patients had a significantly lower Simple Shoulder Test score compared with men (8.8 ± 1.9 vs 10.3 ± 1.6; P = .005). The mean changes from pre- to postoperative Rowe score (43.6 ± 21.4 vs 31.5 ± 19.8; P = .044), Constant score (9.9 ± 8.9 vs 0.8 ± 8.1; P = .002), forward flexion (24.0 ± 36.2 vs 4.2 ± 10.9; P = .013), abduction (36.0 ± 38.3 vs 7.6 ± 18.4; P < .001), and external rotation (19.7 ± 21.3 vs 6.7 ± 26.2; P = .023) in female patients were significantly higher than those in the men. There were no sex-based differences on any MRI parameter measured. Conclusion Female patients had a similar recurrence rate as that of male patients after arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization. Most postoperative clinical outcome measures showed no significant difference between the sexes. Despite worse preoperative values, more significant improvements in postoperative shoulder function and active ROM were seen in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal anesthesia is the standard for elective cesarean section but spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension remains an important problem. Accurate prediction of hypotension could enhance clinical decision-making, alter management, and facilitate early intervention. We performed a systematic review of predictors of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension and their predictive value during cesarean section. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Web of Science databases were searched for prospective observational studies assessing the diagnostic accuracy of predictors of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elective cesarean section. The quality of studies was assessed and predictors were grouped in domains based on the type of predictor. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies (n=3086 patients) were included. In most studies, patients received 500-1000 mL crystalloid preload or 500-2000 mL crystalloid coload. Vasopressors for post-spinal hypotension were boluses of ephedrine 5-15 mg and/or phenylephrine 25-100 µg in most studies. The hypotension rate varied from 29% to 80% based on the definition. For analysis, >30 predictors were classified into seven domains: demographic characteristics, baseline hemodynamic variables, baseline sympathovagal balance, postural stress testing, peripheral perfusion indices, blood volume and fluid responsiveness indices, and genetic polymorphism. CONCLUSIONS Environmental and individual factors increased outcome variability, which restricted the value of the autonomic nervous system and peripheral perfusion indices for prediction of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension. Supine stress tests may reflect parturients' cardiovascular tolerance during hemodynamic fluctuations and may optimize the predictive value of static state predictors. Future research for predicting spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension should focus on composite and dynamic parameters during the supine stress tests.
