Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the developmental dysplasia of the hip screening program on the treatment procedures in a tertiary health care center.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all the DDH patients between 2012 and 2019 from the operating theatre records. The patients were separated based on the year of treatment. The rates of each treatment modality were determined respectively from 2012 to 2019, and Pavlik harness usage of the patients were queried. The changes in the rates of several surgical interventions after the start of screening program were identified.
Results: Between 2012 and 2019, 831 interventions were applied to 711 DDH patients. Closed Reduction (CR) is the least invasive treatment method, and it increased significantly from 20% to 46%. The rate of Open Reductions (OR) also increased from 3% to 9% at this time period, but it was statistically insignificant. Conversely, Pemberton-Salter Osteotomy (PSO) and Dega-Chiari Osteotomy (DCO) rates decreased significantly (41% to 28% and 9% to 0%, respectively). The rate of Pemberton- Salter osteotomy with femoral shortening (PSO-FS) rate decreased insignificantly from 27% to 20%. In patients that used Pavlik harness, the most common intervention was CR (83%). In CR group, the screened newborn rate increased more than two times from 2012 to 2019.
Conclusion: The results of this study have shown that after the initiation of the screening program for DDH, less invasive treatment modalities such as CR and OR interventions increased, and major bony procedures such as PSO, PSO-FS and DCO interventions decreased. Furthermore, as the screening program advanced, CR rate and the use of Pavlik harness rate in CR interventions increased.

Importance: Lung cancer in individuals who have never smoked (INS) is a growing global concern, with a rapidly increasing incidence and proportion among all lung cancer cases. Particularly in East Asia, opportunistic lung cancer screening (LCS) programs targeting INS have gained popularity. However, the sex-specific outcomes and drawbacks of screening INS remain unexplored, with data predominantly focused on women.

Department of Intensive Care Unit, School of Medicine, Tianjin First Central Hospital, Nankai University, Tianjin, People's Republic of China.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant clinical condition, and ultrasound examination has emerged as a crucial non-invasive imaging method for assessing kidney status, especially in its diagnosis and management. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis to clarify current research trends in ultrasound assessment of AKI.
Methods: We conducted a literature search in the Web of Science database using keywords related to ultrasound examinations of acute kidney injury, up to November 15, 2023.
Exploring the mechanism of rosmarinic acid in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma based on bioinformatics methods and experimental validation.

Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, No. 58, Yuelu District, Changsha, 410006, Hunan, China.
Objective: Rosmarinic acid (RosA) is a natural polyphenol compound that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory disease and a variety of malignant tumors. However, its specific mechanism for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the mechanism of RosA in the treatment of LUAD by integrating bioinformatics, network pharmacology and in vivo experiments, and to explore the potential of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in treating LUAD.
