ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of along-meridian distal point selection in treating post-cerebral infarction shoulder-hand syndrome.MethodSixty patients with post-cerebral infarction shoulder-hand syndrome were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The control group was treated by routine neurological medical treatment, conventional acupuncture for stroke-attack on meridians and rehabilitation training and the treatment group, by along-meridian distal point selection in addition. The therapeutic effects were evaluated in both groups after four courses of treatment. The VAS scores, affected-side hand swelling scores and upper limb FMA scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. ResultThe VAS score, affected-side hand swelling score and upper limb FMA score were significantly better in both groups after treatment than before (P<0.01). Post-treatment VAS score, affected-side hand swelling score and upper limb FMA score were significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group; there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01,P<0.05). ConclusionAlong-meridian distal point selection has clinically a better improving effect on the pain, affected-side hand swelling and upper limb function in patients with post-cerebral infarction shoulder-hand syndrome.

Objective To detect the expression levels of the miR-205 in lung cancer tissue and A549 cells and its targeted gene YES1 using qRT-PCR and dual fluorescence protein repoter assay system,and to explore the possible mechanism of miR-205 to inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer A549 cells.Methods The expression levels of miR-205 in 10 cases of lung cancer tissue and adjacent normal lung tissue were detected with qRT-PCR.The cell growth curve and colony formation assay were used to determine the proliferation rate of A549 cells after transfected by miR-205 mimics and control mimics.The sequences of YES1 3′UTR (untranslated region)and mutation target sites of YES1 3′UTR were inserted into the plasmid which expressed green fluorescence protein (pcDNA3/EGFP) respectively to construct the green fluorescence protein plasmids of YES1-3′UTR and mut-YES1-3′UTR. There were six groups in the study:YES1-3′UTR, YES1-3′UTR and miR-205 mimics, YES1-3′UTR and control mimics,mut-YES1-3′UTR, mut-YES1-3′UTR and miR-205 mimics, mut-YES1-3′UTR and control mimics;after the plasmids expressed red fluorescent protein (pDsRed2-N1 )were cotransfected into A549 cells,the extracted protein was detected with fluorescence spectrophotometer.Results Compared with adjacent normal lung tissue,the expression levels of miR-205 in lung cancer tissue and A549 cells were decreased (P<0.05 );the proliferation rate of A549 cells in miR-205 mimics group was lower than that in control mimics group (P<0.05). The fluorescence protein expression level in YES1-3′UTR and miR-205 mimics co-transfected group was lower than that in YES1-3′UTR and control mimics co-transfected group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).The number of cell colony formation of A549 cells in highly expressed YES1 group was higher than that in cell control group (P<0.05).Conclusion MiR-205 may inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells through regulating of the expression of YES1 directly.miR-205 and YES1 are potential therapeutic targets for the biological treatment of tumor.

Abstact:Objective To study the relationship between acute mountain sickness and geographic factors in young males,and provide no-vel materials for screening susceptible population and exploring novel research ideas and methods. Methods Total 294 young men came from low altitude were randomly selected,questionnaire was conducted and military AMS standard was applied for diagnosis. Binary logistic re-gression was used to analyze the relationship between 10 different geographical factors and AMS incidence and figure out the risk factors for medical geographical differences of AMS. Results AMS incidence was 52. 04% (153 people),with most commonly seen dizziness,head-ache,shortness of breath,chest tightness and lip empurples,the occurrence was 89. 54%,84. 31%,66. 01%,65. 36% and 60. 78%,respec-tively. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that altitude was the only geographical risk factor (OR=0. 998,P<0. 05). Conclusion Among the population who entered plateau,lower native altitude they used to live brings higher risk of AMS,therefore corresponding preven-tions should be adapted for those who come to high altitude from low altitude in order to ensure their health and safety.

Objective To investigate the morphological differences of proximal femoral medullary cavity in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture and its effect on the treatment efficacy of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical data of 112 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the femur from December 2012 to January 2017, including the preoperative and postoperative hip joints orthotopic X ray (including the proximal femur), lateral X ray, and pelvic orthotopic X ray films. The proximal femoral canal flare index (CFI) and the metaphyseal canal flare index (MCFI) were measured. The proportion of patients with different types of medullary cavity and the gender difference were analyzed according to Dorr typing. The fractures were classified according to the modified Evans classification. Operation time, fracture reduction quality, tip apex distance (TAD), incidence of intraoperative split fracture around the rotors, postoperative fracture reduction loss rate, weight bearing time, and fracture healing time were recorded. Results The proximal femoral canal flare index (CFI) was significantly correlated with the intramedullary diameter above the lesser trochanter, the inner diameter of the affected side medullary cavity isthmus, and metaphyseal canal flare index (MCFI) (P <0.01). There was clear difference in gender in terms of the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm above the middle point of lesser trochanter, medullary isthmus internal diameter, the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm below the middle point of lesser trochanter, CFI, and MCFI. Thereinto, there was significant difference in the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm above the middle point of lesser trochanter [male (52.6 ± 6.4) mm, female: (49.9 ± 5.4) mm], the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm below the middle point of lesser trochanter [male: (26.5 ± 3.7) mm, female: (23.1 ±2.8)mm], and MCFI (male:2.0 ±0.3, female:2.2 ±0.2). No significant difference between the medullary isthmus internal diameter and CFI was found (P>0.05). In this group, the medullary cavity of proximal femur was classified by Dorr: the proportion of funnel type, normal type, and chimney type was 5.4% (6/112), 73.2% (82/112), and 21.4% (24/112), respectively. There was no significant difference in the modified Evans fracture stability among different morphological types of the proximal femoral medullary cavity. The difference of weight bearing time between normal group and chimney group was statistically significant [normal type: (21.4±16.9)d, chimney type: (45.5 ± 11.2)d] (P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in operation time, reduction quality, TAD, intraoperative incidence of cleavage fracture incidence, reduction loss rate, and healing time between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The occurrence and development of osteoporosis can cause significant changes in the morphology of proximal femoral medullary cavity, mainly manifesting as the gradual increase of the proportion of chimney type. The efficacy of PFNA in treatment of the intertrochanteric fracture is satisfactory. However, the risk of intraoperative cleavage fracture and postoperative reduction loss should be taken seriously.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between mobile phone dependence (MPD) and academic burden among junior middle school students in Guizhou Province, under the "double reduction" policy by using a multi level model, so as to provide a basis for preventing the occurrence of MPD.
Methods:
From December 2021 to January 2022, 7 868 students from grade 1 to grade 3 in 3 cities (prefecture) of Guizhou Province were selected by multi stage stratification random sampling method, and on site investigation was conducted by self compiled questionnaire and Self rating Questionnaire for Adolescent Problematic Mobile Phone Use(SQAPMPU). Using MLwiN 2.30 to fit a multi level model of the relationship between MPD and academic burden among junior middle school students.
Results:
The MPD detection rate of junior middle school students in Guizhou Province was 20.9%. The multi level model revealed that MPD of junior middle school students was clustered at the level of school and class ( χ 2= 1 565.32 , P <0.01), and high perceived academic pressure had a positive predictive effect on MPD among junior middle school students ( β =1.96). Homework duration ≥90 min/d at weekends had a negative predictive effect on MPD ( β =-0.55), while participation in off campus training on learning days had a positive predictive effect ( β =1.66)( P <0.05).
Conclusion
The MPD occurrence level is higher among junior middle school students in Guizhou Province. Perceived academic pressure, time spent on homework during weekends, off campus training and other academic burdens have an impact on MPD among junior middle school students, which should be a cause of concern for schools, families and social departments.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of YKL-40 at admission on stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) and poor outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to Taixing People’s Hospital from February 2020 to March 2021 were enrolled prospectively. The poor outcome was defined as 3-6 points on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 d after onset. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictors of SAP and poor outcome, and the predictive value of serum YKL-40 on SAP and poor outcome was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:A total of 377 patients with AIS were enrolled. The median serum YKL-40 was 127.16 μg/L. One hundred and four patients (27.6%) had SAP, and 126 (33.4%) had poor outcomes at 90 d after onset. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, YKL-40 was the independent predictors of SAP (odds ratio [ OR] 1.005, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.003-1.008; P=0.001) and poor outcome at 90 d ( OR 1.009, 95% CI 1.006-1.011; P=0.001). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of YKL-40 for predicting SAP was 0.769 (95% CI 0.713-0.824; P<0.001), the best cutoff value was 168.70 μg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 71.2% and 75.1% respectively; the area under the curve of YKL-40 for predicting poor outcome at 90 d was 0.787 (95% CI 0.735-0.840; P<0.001), the best cutoff value was 195.56 μg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 68.3% and 84.1% respectively. Conclusion:Higher serum YKL-40 at admission has a good predictive value for SAP and poor outcome at 90 d in patients with AIS.
