Background: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare clavicle hook plates versus distal clavicle locking plates for the treatment of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures.
Methods: PubMed (1996 to January 2019), Embase (1980 to January 2019), Web of Science (1990 to January 2019), the Cochrane Library (January 2019), and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (January 2019) were systematically searched without language restrictions for literature retrieval. The Constant-Murley shoulder joint function score at 3 and 6 months after the operation and the postoperative complications after the operation (shoulder joint pain, abduction restriction, fracture delay healing, subacromial impingement) were the outcomes. Stata 12.0 was used for the meta-analysis.
Results: A total of 9 clinical trials involving 446 patients were finally included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the improvement in the Constant-Murley shoulder joint function score in the distal locking plate group was better than that in the clavicle hook plate group at 3 and 6 months after the operation (P < 0.05). There were fewer cases of shoulder joint pain and restricted shoulder abduction range of motion in the distal locking plate group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in fracture delay healing and subacromial impingement between the two groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Compared with the clavicular hook plate, the distal clavicle locking plate for the treatment of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures is associated with better shoulder function recovery and fewer complications related to pain and abduction restriction.

Existence and significance of anti-HLA-C autoantibodies to primary and persistent platelet transfusion refractoriness in patients with hematologic disorders: a retrospective study from a single centre.
Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Hematology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine), Hangzhou, China.
Objectives: Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a frustrating clinical problem, and primary and persistent (P/P) PTR who experienced persistent PTR since the first transfusion was failed to be well recognized. This study aims to investigate the incidence and risk factors for P/P PTR.
Methods: Patients with hematologic disorders who underwent HLA high-resolution genotyping and donor-specific HLA antibody or panel reactive antibody (PRA) testing between January 2019 and March 2023 were reviewed.

Department of Gastroenterology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and the impact of comorbidity of AIH, PBC, and PSC on hospitalization burden in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: Inpatients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2021 were included. Odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to compare the risk of AIH, PBC, and PSC between IBD and non-IBD patients.
Liver Cirrhosis as a Predictor of Infection Risk in Patients Undergoing Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).

Department of Neurosurgery, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan.
BACKGROUND Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery is a widely used procedure for managing hydrocephalus; however, postoperative infections remain a serious complication, increasing morbidity and mortality. Known risk factors include prior surgeries, steroid use, and concurrent procedures. However, the role of liver cirrhosis, a condition that compromises immune function and predisposes patients to infections, has not been fully investigated in the context of neurosurgery.

Background: Early rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia (RSI) and tracheal intubation for patients with airway or ventilatory compromise following major trauma is recommended, with guidance suggesting a 45-min timeframe. Whilst on-scene RSI is recommended, the potential time benefit offered by Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) has not been studied. We compared the time from 999/112 emergency call to delivery of RSI between patients intubated either in the Emergency Department or pre-hospital by HEMS.

School of Physical Education, Shanghai University of Sport, 399 Changhai Road, Shanghai, 200438, P. R. China.
Background: Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) typically exhibit low levels of physical activity (PA) and delayed motor skills. Understanding the motor skill factors that influence PA participation in this population is essential for designing effective interventions. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between fundamental motor skills (FMS) and objectively measured PA among orphan children with severe ID residing in welfare institutions.
