Chinese Journal of Surgery 2024;62(9):887-892
The traditional treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment, and cannot restore the physiological structure and function of the intervertebral disc. Therefore, more and more scholars begin to pay attention to the application of regenerative medicine and its derived therapeutic methods in IVDD. From the histological perspective, the early stage of IVDD shows the imbalance between synthesis and catabolism, but the cell number and tissue structure are relatively complete, and the intervention of exogenous molecules or gene therapy can achieve extracellular matrix (ECM) regeneration. With the progress of IVDD, the replenishment of healthy cells is the key to treatment. In the final stage, the cell number and tissue structure are disordered. Biological materials with certain mechanical strength and cell load can be used to supplement ECM and healthy cells to realize the repair and regeneration of IVDD. Molecular, cell and gene therapy, combined with the application of new biomaterials, the treatment of IVDD is more inclined to compensate for the shortcomings through a combination approach in the future, in order to achieve the purpose of repair and regeneration.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(3):398-402
Objective:
To explore cyberbullying and risk factors of middle school students, and to provide a reference for cyberbullying prevention in school settings.
Methods:
A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 12 940 students from three junior high schools and four senior high schools in Yixing City of Jiangsu Province, China, to conduct a questionnaire survey from March 1 to May 31, 2019. The Chi -square test was performed to compare differences in the prevalence of cyberbullying among groups with different sociodemographic characteristics, and the multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors. A risk predictive nomogram model was constructed and then verified.
Results:
Middle school students were found to be victims of cyberbullying at a rate of 12.3%. The Logistic regression results showed that alcohol use ( OR =1.93), lack of emotional management ( OR =1.30), feeling unsafe ( OR =1.70), not trusting people ( OR =1.66), increased daily online time ( OR =1.39), higher frequency of using social software or websites ( OR =2.24), poor relationships with family members ( OR =1.46), parental neglect ( OR =1.50), class leadership ( OR =1.30) and poor relationships with classmates ( OR =1.34) were risk factors for middle school students who were victims of cyberbullying ( P <0.05). Based on these 10 independent risk factors, the nomogram prediction model, had good discrimination ( AUC =0.73).
Conclusion
Cyberbullying is common among middle school students. Internet use, parental neglect and class leadership all have an impact on cyberbullying.

Objective:To elucidate the diagnostic utility of clinical features and radiomics characteristics derived from magnetic resonance imaging T2-weighted fat-suppressed images (T2WI-FS) in differentiating brucellosis spondylitis from pyogenic spondylitis.Methods:Clinical records of 26 patients diagnosed with Brucellosis Spondylitis and 23 with Pyogenic Spondylitis were retrospectively reviewed from Xinjiang Medical University First Affiliated Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. Confirmatory diagnosis was ascertained through histopathological examination and/or microbial culture. Demographic characteristics, symptoms, clinical manifestations, and hematological tests were collected, followed by a univariate analysis to discern clinically significant risk factors. For the radiomics evaluation, preoperative sagittal T2WI-FS images were utilized. Regions of interest (ROIs) were manually outlined by two adept radiologists. Employing the PyRadiomics toolkit, an extensive array of radiomics features encompassing shape, texture, and gray-level attributes were extracted, yielding a total of 1,500 radiomics parameters. Feature normalization and redundancy elimination were implemented to optimize the predictive efficacy of the model. Discriminatory radiomics features were identified through statistical methods like t-tests or rank-sum tests, followed by refinement via least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. An integrative logistic regression model incorporated selected clinical risk factors, radiomics attributes, and a composite radiomics score (Rad-Score). The diagnostic performance of three models clinical risk factors alone, Rad-Score alone, and a synergistic combination were appraised using a confusion matrix and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.Results:The cohort comprised 49 patients, including 36 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 53.79±13.79 years. C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) emerged as significant clinical risk factors ( P<0.005). A total of seven discriminative radiomics features (logarithm glrlm SRLGLE, exponential glcm Imc1, exponential glcm MCC, exponential gldm SDLGLE, square glcm ClusterShade, squareroot glszm SALGLE and wavelet.HHH glrlm Run Variance) were isolated through LASSO regression. Among these selected features, the square glcmClusterShade feature exhibited the best performance, with an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.780. It demonstrated a sensitivity of 68.8%, specificity of 94.4%, accuracy of 82.4%, precision of 91.7%, and negative predictive value of 0.773. Furthermore, the logarithm glrlm SRLGLE feature had an AUC of 0.736, sensitivity of 68.8%, specificity of 72.2%, accuracy of 76.5%, precision of 72.2%, and negative predictive value of 0.812. The exponential glcm Imc1 feature had an AUC of 0.736, sensitivity of 50.0%, specificity of 94.4%, accuracy of 73.5%, precision of 88.9%, and negative predictive value of 0.680. Three diagnostic models were constructed: the clinical risk factors model, the radiomics score model, and the integrated model (clinical risk factors+radiomics score), which showed AUC values of 0.801, 0.818, and 0.875, respectively. Notably, the integrated model exhibited superior diagnostic efficacy. Conclusion:The amalgamation of clinical and radiomics variables within a sophisticated, integrated model demonstrates promising efficacy in accurately discriminating between Brucellosis Spondylitis and Pyogenic Spondylitis. This cutting-edge methodology underscores its potential in facilitating nuanced clinical decision-making, precise diagnostic differentiation, and the tailoring of therapeutic regimens.
