Objective To evaluate the short-term effects of anterior distal tibial semi-epiphyseal block surgery in treating sagittal plantar flexion deformity in children with equinovarus foot. Methods A retrospective analysis of the data of children with equinovarus foot treated with anterior distal tibial semi-epiphyseal block at Hunan Children's Hospital from February 2018 to March 2022. The preoperative and intraoperative angles of ankle dorsiflexion and anterior distal tibial angle (ADTA) on lateral X-rays were recorded, along with the occurrence of complications. Results A total of 5 cases (7 feet) were included, all male, with an average age of 10 years and 4 months (range:7 years and 11 months to 12 years and 4 months). The average duration of internal fixation was 26.2 months (range: 15 to 36 months). All 5 cases achieved a plantigrade foot. The preoperative AD-TA was (87.43 ±3.15), and the ADTA at the time of internal fixation removal was (72.43 ± 5.56)°, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); the preoperative ankle dorsiflexion was (15.00±14.72), and at the time of internal fixation removal, it was (14.29 ±8.86), also with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). One case experienced screw loosening, but no cases had complications such as internal fixation fracture, infection, ankle subluxation, or bridge formation. Conclusions Anterior distal tibial semi-epiphyseal block surgery demonstrates good short-term efficacy in treating sagittal plantar flexion deformity in children with equinovarus foot.

Computer wargame is a simulation tool that describes war operations. Force maneuver is the foundation of operations, and path planning is the core content. Path planning is simplified as the solution of the shortest path in graph theory. However, the tactical path is not equivalent to the shortest path. Considering the complexity of battlefield maneuvering, information diversity, dynamics and other characteristics, the use of a decisionmaking method that separates battlefield situation and path planning can lead to operational failure. This article provides a tactical path planning method that effectively integrates battlefield situation and map information. This method, based on traditional A* algorithm, combines influence map to digitize battlefield situation factors, and uses digitized situation factors combined with terrain factors as the objective function of the improved A* algorithm. Thus, under the same algorithm complexity conditions, the A* algorithm converges to the tactically optimal path. Simulation experiments effectively verify that this method can support more complex and diverse tactical path planning compared to traditional A* algorithm. Battlefield situation information can guide path planning to effectively reduce the damage suffered by one party during maneuvering and improve our offensive capabilities, shaping a generally advantageous situation.

With the rapid development of society and economy, great changes have taken place in people′s living habits and working styles.The number of patients with lumbar disc herniation（LDH） is increasing year by year, and tends to be younger and younger.At present, LDH is mainly treated by surgery, anti-inflammatory painkillers, physical therapy and other means.Compared with traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） compound, they are less targeted, and some patients with advanced age and multiple underlying diseases have higher surgical risk.In recent years, TCM compound under the guidance of basic holistic view and syndrome differentiation and treatment theory is highly targeted, which not only has a good effect on the treatment of LDH,but also has achieved certain satisfactory results in its perioperative application.Therefore, this paper collected the literature of recent 10 years from the aspects of molecular biology, histomorphology, autoimmunology and hemorheology, and described the mechanism of TCM compound treatment of LDH.It is expected to provide diagnosis and treatment basis for clinical treatment of LDH and provide direction for further study of LDH by using TCM compound.

BACKGROUND: Most studies mainly focus on using small molecules or viruses to obtain cardiomyocytes, but reports about the use of recombinant proteins to reprogram cells to obtain cardiomyocytes are rare. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of recombinant Nkx2.5 protein on the transdifferentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes. METHODS: The prokaryotic expression vector of Nkx2.5 was constructed. Nkx2.5 protein was induced to express at different time points, and then was isolated and purified. Nkx2.5 was encapsulated with nano-transducers to form nano-protein complexes, which were transfected into human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The protein transfection efficiency was then detected. After successful protein transduction, the expression of myosin heavy chain, a specific marker of cardiomyocytes, was detected and the transformation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The protein expression was higher when the cells were induced with isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside at 28 oC for 4 hours. To conclude, the nano-Nkx2.5 complexes can be efficiently transfected into human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and promote the reprogramming of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes, but future studies are needed to improve the efficiency of the transdifferentiation.
