Objective To estimate the disease burden of silicosis in China from 1990 to 2021 and analyze its changing trend using the data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of silicosis. Methods Data on the incidence, prevalence, morbidity and death, mortality and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) of silicosis in China were extracted from the GBD 2021 to analyze the disease burden and age distribution of silicosis. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated to reflect the temporal trend of various disease burden indicators from 1990 to 2021. The results were then compared with those of the global population. Results In China, prevalent cases of silicosis increased by 116.62% from 79 075 in 1990 to 171 291 in 2021; incident cases of silicosis increased by 75.75% from 13 315 in 1990 to 23 401 in 2021; deaths of silicosis increased by 30.76% from 4 837 in 1990 to 6 326 in 2021; DALYs of silicosis increased by 14.84% from 150,729.65 person-years in 1990 to 173 091.06 person-years in 2021. The age-standardized rate of prevalence, incidence, mortality, DALY, YLL, and YLD of silicosis in China all showed a downward trend. The AAPC (95% CI) was -0.42% (-0.56% ~ -0.29%), -1.02% (-1.16 %~ -0.88%), -2.16% (-2.49% ~ -1.83%), -2.24% (-2.63% ~ -1.84%), -2.45% (-2.76% ~ -2.14%), and -0.42% (-0.54% ~ -0.29%), respectively. From 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized indicators of silicosis in China were all higher than the global level, and the differences were statistically significant (all P <0.05). The proportion of silicosis incident cases in the total incident cases of pneumoconiosis in China increased from 68.49% in 1990 to 78.58% in 2021. Conclusion The age-standardized indicators of silicosis in China showed a downward trend from 1990 to 2021, but the number of prevalent cases, incident cases, and DALYs showed an increasing trend. The age-standardized incident rate of silicosis in China remains at a high level, suggesting that further efforts should be made to prevent and control silicosis.

Objective:To assess the ultrasonographic features and potential diseases of fetal abnormal sylvian fissure(SF), and to explore the value of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in prenatal detection.Methods:A total of 28 fetuses with a sonographic diagnosis of abnormal SF in Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University between October 2018 and October 2020 were prospectively included. The fetal brain was evaluated by neuroultrasound and intrauterine MRI in detail. Amniotic fluid/cord blood obtained by amniocentesis or tissue samples from umbilical cord after birth were collected for WGS. Pregnancy outcomes and postnatal MRI were recorded, and neurodevelopment of live-born infants was followed up for more than 24 months after delivery.Results:During the study period, 28 fetuses with abnormal SF were identified, with a gestational age of 21.3-30.0 (24.8±2.0) weeks. Abnormal SF presented in MCD ( n=15, 53.6%), chromosomal anomalies ( n=3, 10.7%) or single-gene genetic syndromes ( n=3, 10.7%) with the affected fetuses showing developmental delay, hydrocephalus or leukomalacia ( n=4, 14.2%), corpus callosal agenesis with large interhemispheric cysts ( n=1, 3.6%), benign subarachnoid space enlargement with arachnoid cysts ( n=1, 3.6%), and multiple malformations ( n=1, 3.6%). Among the 15 cases with MCD, the most common pathology was lissencephaly/pachygyria, followed by schizencephaly, severe microcephaly, hemimegalencephaly with paraventricular heterotopia, and polymicrogyria. Abnormal SF presented bilaterally in 23 fetuses and unilaterally in 5. All cases were categorized into six types depending on SF morphology in the transthalamic section: no plateau-like or a small insula, linear type, irregular corrugated SF, Z-shaped, and cyst occupying type. In addition to abnormal SF, associated anomalies or mild variations were identified in all fetuses. There were 17 cases underwent intrauterine MRI, and 13 cases underwent postnatal MRI examination.And 25 pregnancies were terminated; 3 were born alive, and 2 had typical syndromic changes with poor neurodevelopmental prognosis. A related pathogenic genetic variant was detected in 57.1% (16/28) fetus, and the incidence of single nucleotide variants(SNVs) was 42.9% (12/28), among which de novo SNVs accounted for 91.7% (11/12). Conclusions:Fetal abnormal SF could be classified based on the ultrasonographic features of transthalamic section. Fetal abnormal SF may indicate MCD, some chromosomal abnormalities or single-gene genetic syndromes that may lead to poor neurodevelopmental outcomes, and may be affected by extra-cortical factors. It is suggested to carry out targeted prenatal genetic diagnosis for fetuses with abnormal SF.

Objective:
To establish a three-dimensional coordinate system that can accurately measure the recurrence rate after orthognathic surgery, and evaluate and analyze the degree of recurrence.
Methods :
Data from patients who underwent orthognathic surgery in a hospital were selected to reconstruct three-dimensional images with spiral CT. The two researchers used the multiplane assisted positioning method to fix the points three times and screened them using intra-andintreclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Reproducible and accurate landmark points were drawn to establish different coordinate systems and calculate the facial asymmetry index (AI) to determine the coordinate system with the best mid-sagittal plane symmetry. This coordinate system and lateral radiographs were used to separately measure the recurrence rate, and evaluate and analyze the three-dimensional recurrence degree of orthognathic surgery.
Results :
Ten landmark points that may be repeatedly fixed were obtained, including N (nasion), K (K point), ANS(anterior nasal spine), PNS (posterior nasal spine), Ptm(pterygomaxillary fissure), Gn (gnathion), IZ(IZ point), MZ (MZ point), Ms (mastoideale), Cor (coronion) and and Go (gonion). Three coordinate systems were established, and the most suitable coordinate system was the upper edge point of the left infraorbital foramen. The inner upper edge of the right infraorbital foramen and both sides of the midpoint of the ear points constituted the horizontal plane (HP), which passed through the outermost point of the left zygomatic frontal suture and the outermost point of the right zygomatic frontal suture and was perpendicular to the horizontal plane to constitute the coronal plane (CP). It was perpendicular to the two planes to form a sagittal plane (SP). Two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurements of recurrence were performed on 112 patients, and new three-dimensional recurrence evaluation results were obtained. Less than 40% had low recurrence, 40% to 61% had moderate recurrence, and greater than 61% had high recurrence.
Conclusion
This study established a three-dimensional coordinate system suitable for measuring the recurrence rate after orthognathic surgery, obtained a new three-dimensional recurrence evaluation result, and provided a clinical experimental basis for evaluating the effect of orthognathic surgery and improving stability.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of lncRNA GIHCG on the radiosensitivity of glioma cells and its mechanism.
Methods:
The expression levels of GIHCG and miR-146a-3p in human brain normal glial cells HEB and glioma cell lines U251, A172, SHG139 and U87 were quantitatively measured by qRT-PCR assay. U251 and SHG139 cells were used for subsequent experiment. After silencing the expression of GIHCG or overexpressing miR-146a-3p in U251 and SHG139 cells, cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, cell radiosensitivity was detected by colony formation assay and the expression levels of CDK1, CyclinD1, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were measured by Western blot. The bioinformatics software predicted the presence of a binding site for GIHCG and miR-146a-3p. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and qRT-PCR assay were adopted to verify the targeting relationship between GIHCG and miR-146a-3p.
Results:
Compared with HEB cells, the expression of GIHCG was significantly up-regulated in glioma U87, U251, A172 and SHG139 cells (all

Objective:Surgical site infection (SSI) can markedly prolong postoperative hospital stay, aggravate the burden on patients and society, even endanger the life of patients. This study aims to investigate the national incidence of SSI following abdominal surgery and to analyze the related risk factors in order to provide reference for the control and prevention of SSI following abdominal surgery.Methods:A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted. Clinical data of all the adult patients undergoing abdominal surgery in 68 hospitals across the country from June 1 to 30, 2020 were collected, including demographic characteristics, clinical parameters during the perioperative period, and the results of microbial culture of infected incisions. The primary outcome was the incidence of SSI within postoperative 30 days, and the secondary outcomes were ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay, cost of hospitalization and the mortality within postoperative 30-day. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors of SSI after abdominal surgery.Results:A total of 5560 patients undergoing abdominal surgery were included, and 163 cases (2.9%) developed SSI after surgery, including 98 cases (60.1%) with organ/space infections, 19 cases (11.7%) with deep incisional infections, and 46 cases (28.2%) with superficial incisional infections. The results from microbial culture showed that Escherichia coli was the main pathogen of SSI. Multivariate analysis revealed hypertension (OR=1.792, 95% CI: 1.194-2.687, P=0.005), small intestine as surgical site (OR=6.911, 95% CI: 1.846-25.878, P=0.004), surgical duration (OR=1.002, 95% CI: 1.001-1.003, P<0.001), and surgical incision grade (contaminated incision: OR=3.212, 95% CI: 1.495-6.903, P=0.003; Infection incision: OR=11.562, 95%CI: 3.777-35.391, P<0.001) were risk factors for SSI, while laparoscopic or robotic surgery (OR=0.564, 95%CI: 0.376-0.846, P=0.006) and increased preoperative albumin level (OR=0.920, 95%CI: 0.888-0.952, P<0.001) were protective factors for SSI. In addition, as compared to non-SSI patients, the SSI patients had significantly higher rate of ICU stay [26.4% (43/163) vs. 9.5% (514/5397), χ 2=54.999, P<0.001] and mortality within postoperative 30-day [1.84% (3/163) vs.0.01% (5/5397), χ 2=33.642, P<0.001], longer ICU stay (median: 0 vs. 0, U=518 414, P<0.001), postoperative hospital stay (median: 17 days vs. 7 days, U=656 386, P<0.001), and total duration of hospitalization (median: 25 days vs. 12 days, U=648 129, P<0.001), and higher hospitalization costs (median: 71 000 yuan vs. 39 000 yuan, U=557 966, P<0.001). Conclusions:The incidence of SSI after abdominal surgery is 2.9%. In order to reduce the incidence of postoperative SSI, hypoproteinemia should be corrected before surgery, laparoscopic or robotic surgery should be selected when feasible, and the operating time should be minimized. More attentions should be paid and nursing should be strengthened for those patients with hypertension, small bowel surgery and seriously contaminated incision during the perioperative period.
