Pelvic fractures are often caused by high-energy trauma. The condition of patients is complex and requires active therapy. The treatment of pelvic fractures includes conservative and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients with unstable pelvic fractures. In recent years,the anterior subcutaneous internal fixator (INFIX) for the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures has been popularized and achieved extraordinary outcomes. INFIX is a relatively novel technology for the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures. It has excellent biomechanical properties, a wide range of indications, and has the advantages of minimally invasive, convenient care, fewer complications, and better clinical outcomes. If patients with anterior pelvic ring fractures have the indications for INFIX after careful evaluation, INFIX is recommended. This article summarizes the research progress of INFIX in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures, and summarizes its surgical methods, biomechanical properties, indications, advantages, complications and clinical outcomes.
ObjectiveTo summarize the papers about the molecular mechanisms of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer in recent years and in order to provide assistance for the diagnosis and treatment of liver metastases from colorectal cancer.MethodThe relevant literatures at home and abroad in recent years about the molecular mechanisms of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer were reviewed.ResultsThe molecular mechanism of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer is complicated. For example, microRNA-192 could inhibit liver metastasis from colorectal cancer through multiple targets, however microRNA-181a could promote liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. TGF-β inhibits liver metastasis from colorectal cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation and Smad-dependent signaling to induce apoptosis. Elevated CEA level not only help in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer, but also as a prognostic indicator for colorectal cancer patients. CEA could promote liver metastasis by affecting the survival of colorectal cancer cells in vessels, changeing the liver microenvironment, and affecting the adhesion and survival of circulating tumor cells in the liver.ConclusionsThe molecular mechanism of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer has not been fully elucidated. Through in-depth study of the mechanism of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer, it can provide molecular targets for targeted therapy in patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer, such as bevacizumab, cetuximab, panitumab and so on. Detecting the change of serological markers in patients with colorectal cancer can help diagnose, judge recurrence, prognosis and metastasis.

ObjectiveTo review the research progress of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology for wound dressing design and preparation. Methods The literature on 3D bioprinted wound dressings in recent years, both domestically and internationally, was retrieved. The core principles of 3D bioprinting technology, mainstream methods, and their applications in wound dressings design and preparation were summarized. Results By leveraging precise spatial manipulation capabilities and multi-material integration, 3D bioprinting technology constructs the functionalized wound dressings with complex structures and bioactivity. These dressings primarily function across several dimensions: wound hemostasis, infection control, controlled drug release, and monitoring wound healing. Conclusion Although 3D bioprinted wound dressings can promote wound healing through multiple dimensions, large-scale clinical validation is still lacking. Future efforts should further clarify their clinical value and scope of application to provide more efficient, precise, and patient-comfortable treatment options for refractory wounds.

Objective To summarize the research progress of surgical treatment for anterior shoulder dislocation and combined injuries. Methods The related literature was reviewed, and the surgical treatment options for the anterior shoulder dislocation and its combined injuries were summarized. Results Anterior shoulder dislocation can combine with anteroinferior capsular ligament complex injury (Bankart injury), bony Bankart defect, and Hill-Sachs lesion. For Bankart and bony Bankart injuries, arthroscopic repair or coracoid osteotomy combined with bony graft reconstruction can be performed. For Hill-Sachs lesion, conservative treatment, soft tissue repair, or bony reconstruction should be selected based on the extent of the bone defect. For bipolar injury, the Bankart repair, Remplissage, or arthroplasty should be selected based on the extent of the glenoid defect. Conclusion With the development of arthroscopy and the improvement of the surgical concept, there is a complete set of surgical options for various injuries of the anterior shoulder dislocation. When choosing a surgical procedure, the patient’s specific injury and age, exercise level, and other relating factors should be comprehensively assessed in order to achieve the best results.
As the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, osteosarcoma has the characteristics of high malignancy, easy metastasis and poor prognosis. The recurrence, metastasis and multi-drug resistance of osteosarcoma are the main problems that limit the therapeutic effect and survival rate of osteosarcoma. Among them, lung metastasis is often the main target organ for distant metastasis of osteosarcoma. In recent years, people have paid attention to the signaling pathway of the occurrence and development of osteosarcoma and made in-depth studies on its mechanism. A variety of relevant signaling pathways have been constantly clarified. At present, there is still a lack of systematic and multi-directional exploration and summary on the signaling pathway related to the pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma. This paper explores the new direction of targeted therapy for osteosarcoma by elucidating the relationship between the signaling pathway associated with osteosarcoma and the pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma.

Finally, it was concluded that targeting ferroptosis is a promising treatment strategy for liver cancer.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress on the pathogenesis of ischemic bile duct injury after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).MethodThe recent studies on the incidence, pathological features and related mechanisms of ischemic bile duct injury and ischemic bile duct injury after TACE were reviewed.ResultsThe incidence of ischemic bile duct injury after liver TACE fluctuated greatly and was related to different chemoembolization methods. At present, the causes of ischemic bile duct injury were attributed to the bile duct ischemia caused by embolization and the toxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. The destruction of protective mechanism of bile duct epithelium and the expression of transforming growth factor-β might play an important role in ischemic bile duct injury.ConclusionsAfter liver TACE, in addition to the direct injury of bile duct caused by the toxic effects of ischemia and chemotherapy drugs, the damage of bile duct epithelial protection mechanism caused by ischemia and chemotherapy drugs makes the toxic effects of bile acids play a very important role in the ischemic bile duct injury. However, there is still no direct evidence of bile duct epithelial protection mechanism in ischemic bile duct injury after liver TACE. Further clarifying the role of bile duct epithelial protection mechanism in ischemic bile duct injury after liver TACE will be helpful to explore its prevention and treatment measures, and provide new insights for the further studies in future.
