Medical ethic and publication ethic was more and more and important with the development of trial registration and systematic review registration promoted by the World Health Organization and the Cochrane Collaboration. Chinese Trial Registration and Publication Collaboration (ChiCTRPC) published the first statement to implement trial registration in China. We suggested that trial registration should be combined with ethic review and described the new definition of publication ethic in the second meeting by ChiCTRPC in 2010. In the the third meeting of ChiCTRPC in 2011, Experts from many fields communicated adequately and reached consensus. We summarized the experiences and lessons in the 5 years after the first statement of ChiCTRPC was published. Based on the latest progress of research ethic, publication ethic, trial registration, and systematic review registration, we drafted this explanation document for the second statement of ChiCTRPC to realize good research practice (RGP), good publication practice (GPP), and good translation practice (GTP) by implementing research ethic and publication ethic.
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are critical for modulating protein structure and function. Among these, lysine lactylation (Kla) has garnered significant attention in recent years as a newly discovered PTM. Although Kla has been thoroughly investigated in eukaryotic systems, its study in prokaryotes, especially bacteria, remains comparatively limited. Emerging research highlights that bacterial Kla, operating through dynamic modification mechanisms, is pivotal in processes such as growth and metabolism, virulence control, pathogenicity, and host-pathogen interactions. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the latest progress in bacterial Kla research, emphasizing its historical discovery, distinct modification features, and underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms. We further explore the regulatory roles of this modification in bacterial physiological processes and pathogenesis, concluding with a discussion of current research challenges and prospective future developments.
Objective By summarizing the latest research progress of circRNA translation mechanism and reviewing the research progress of circRNA translation in various digestive system tumors, this paper is aiming to forecast the clinical application prospect of circular RNA translation and provide ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive system neoplasms. Method The literatures on the translation of circRNA and its role in digestive system neoplasms were searched and reviewed. Results As a member of the non-coding RNA family, circRNAs are generally considered to be difficult to encode proteins as translation templates. With the rapid development of bioinformatics, next-generation sequencing, proteomics and translation omics, it has been found that many kinds of circRNAs can encode proteins or peptides in a cap-independent manner and play a critical role in the development of digestive system neoplasms, including gastric cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer. Conclusions The translation function of circRNA plays an important role in the development and progression of digestive system tumors, and its translation products may become new diagnostic or therapeutic targets for digestive system tumors, with great clinical transformation potential.
Non-invasive biomarkers, due to their non-invasive and safe characteristics, hold significant potential for the diagnosis and prognosis of epilepsy. This review summarizes the research progress and future directions of non-invasive biomarkers for epilepsy, encompassing electrophysiological, imaging, biochemical, and genetic markers, and discusses biomarkers for specific types of epilepsy, such as structural lesion-related epilepsy, infection and inflammation-related epilepsy, autoimmune epilepsy, endocrine hormone-related epilepsy, and metabolic epilepsy, to facilitate their clinical application.
Testing Treatments is a book to help the public understand how to validate the efficacy of testing treatments and the possible bias and error in clinical trial, as well as to call for help to promote good study thus to improve the quality of health care. No matter for the first or the second edition, this book is very popular around the world, and its second edition has been translated into more than ten languages. To help the readers understand the content of the book, we established a website (www.testingtreatments.org) and other sibling sites in different languages. The website not only provided the full-texts to download, but also collected various popular science resources (videos, audios and cartoons) to help the readers assimilate more knowledge. The editors of all the different language websites have established an TTi Editorial Alliance to share experience and provide each other with mutual support, thus to promote health professionals, patients and public around the world to use reliable research to inform their health decisions.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of slope-reducing tibial osteotomy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision in the treatment of patients with primary ACL reconstruction failure and abnormally increased posterior tibial slope (PTS). Methods The clinical data of 9 patients with primary ACL reconstruction failure and abnormally increased PTS (≥17°) who met the selection criteria between January 2018 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 8 males and 1 female; the age ranged from 21 to 42 years, with a median age of 30 years. Lachman test was positive in 9 patients. Pivot-shift test was negative in 6 cases, degree Ⅰ positive in 2 cases, and degree Ⅱ positive in 1 case. The PTS was (17.78±1.09)° and the anterior tibial translation (ATT) was (11.58±1.47) mm. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score was 51.0±3.8, Lysholm score was 49.7±4.6, and Tegner score was 3.7±0.7. The time from primary reconstruction to revision was 12-33 months, with an average of 19.6 months. Slope-reducing tibial osteotomy and ACL revision were performed. The improvement of knee function was evaluated by IKDC score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score; Lachman test and Pivot-shift test were used to evaluate the stability of knee joint. PTS and ATT were measured to observe the morphological changes of knee joint. Results All the incisions healed by first intention, and there was no complication such as incision infection, fat liquefaction, necrosis, deep vein thrombosis of lower extremities, and neurovascular injury. All 9 patients were followed up 12-36 months, with an average of 25.8 months. At last follow-up, Lachman test and pivot-shift test were negative. IKDC score was 85.0±4.0, Lysholm score was 87.7±2.8, Tegner score was 6.8±0.7, PTS reduced to (9.89±0.60)°, and ATT shortened to (0.91±0.29) mm, which were significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). ConclusionSlope-reducing tibial osteotomy and ACL revision in the treatment of patients with primary ACL reconstruction failure and abnormally increased PTS has a satisfactory short-term effectiveness. It can improve the stability of knee joint and maintain the normal shape of knee joint.
The translation and translation regulation of RNA in eukaryotic cells have a significant impact on cellular gene expression and maintenance of proteomic homeostasis. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects upper and lower motor neurons and leads to muscle weakness and atrophy. More and more studies have found RNA translation abnormalities in ALS. This article provides an overview of RNA translation and regulation in eukaryotic cells under physiological and stress conditions, and explores the relationship between four different ALS-related genes and translation abnormalities, providing new ideas for the treatment of ALS.
Objective To observe the posterior condylar offset (PCO) changes and anteroposterior femorotibial translation, to investigate the influence of them on the maximum knee range of flexion (ROF) in patients with posterior cruciatesacrificingself al ignment bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The cl inical data were analyzed retrospectively from 40 patients (40 knees) undergoing primary unilateral TC-PLUSTM SB posterior cruciate-sacrificing self al ignment andbearing TKA for osteoarthritis between January 2007 and June 2009. There were 18 males and 22 females with an average age of 70.6 years (range, 56-87 years). The disease duration was 5-14 years (mean, 9.1 years). The locations were the left side in 11 cases and the right side in 29 cases. Preoperative knee society score (KSS) and ROF were 48.0 ± 5.5 and (77.9 ± 9.0)°, respectively. The X-ray films were taken to measure PCO and anteroposterior femorotibial translation. Multi ple regression analysis was performed based on both the anteroposterior femorotibial translation and PCO changes as the independent variable, and maximum knee flexion as the dependent variable. Results All incisions healed by first intention. The patients were followed up 12-19 months (mean, 14.7 months). At last follow-up, there were significant differences in the KSS (91.9 ± 3.7, t=— 77.600, P=0.000), the ROF [(102.0 ± 9.3)°, t=— 23.105, P=0.000] when compared with preoperative values. Significant difference was observed in PCO (t=3.565, P=0.001) between before operation [(31.6 ± 5.5) mm] and at last follow-up [(30.6 ± 5.9) mm]. At ast follow-up, the anteroposterior femorotibial translation was (— 1.2 ± 2.1) mm (95%CI: — 1.9 mm to — 0.6 mm); femoral roll forward occurred in 27 cases (67.5%), no roll in 1 case (2.5%), and femoral roll back in 12 cases (30.0%). By multiple regression analysis (Stepwise method), the regression equation was establ ished (R=0.785, R2=0.617, F=61.128, P=0.000). Anteroposterior femorotibial translation could be introducted into the equation (t=7.818, P=0.000), but PCO changes were removed from the equation (t=1.471, P=0.150). Regression equation was y=25.587+2.349x. Conclusion Kinematics after TC-PLUSTM SB posterior cruciate-sacrificing self al ignment bearing TKA with posterior cruciate l igament-sacrificing show mostly roll forwardof the femur relative to the tibia, which have a negative effect on postoperative range of motion. There is no correlation between PCO changes and postoperative change in ROF in TC-PLUSTM SB posterior cruciate-sacrificing self al ignment bearing TKA.

ObjectiveTo translate evidence of "HIV/AIDS Clinical Nursing Practice Guideline" into clinical practice, in order to reduce the incidence and severity of symptoms of AIDS and to improve the quality of life of patients.
MethodsWe integrated the best evidence into the HIV/AIDS inpatient unit of a tertiary hospital for infectious disease in Shanghai, China between September 2013 and February 2015. Based on the "Ottawa Model of Research Use", this study was divided into four stages: evaluating the status quo, building the evidence-based strategy, applying evidence-based decision-making, and evaluating results and reflecting. 148 patients were either assigned to an intervention group with HIV/AIDS-related symptom management protocol (n=74), or to a usual care group (n=74) for the duration of their antiretroviral therapy. Then Medical Outcomes Questionnaire (MOS-HIV) were applied to evaluate the life quality after intervention.
ResultsMixed-effects regression indicated significant difference between groups across time in total MOS-HIV score. The intervention group increased more than the control group 2.72 points in total MOS-HIV scores per month (P<0.05).
ConclusionThe evidence-translation and evidence-based decision-making of "HIV/AIDS Clinical Nursing Practice Guideline" can regulate nurse behavior, raise the quality of clinical care and improve the patients' quality of life.
