Objective:To explore the significance of digital orthopedic technology in surgical plan for spinal tumor and the preliminary outcomes of 3D printed vertebral bodies in spinal tumor surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 2 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had had a 3D printed vertebral body implanted at Center of Orthopaedics, Shenzhen Hospital from June 2018 to December 2019. One was a 32-year-old male, diagnosed with cervical neurinoma; the other was a 27-year-old female, diagnosed with giant cell tumor of lumbar bone. 3D virtual reconstruction of tumor and surrounding structures was established via Mimics software for surgical plan. Virtual osteotomy was simulated, their disease models and guide templates were 3D printed, and their metal artificial vertebral bodies were 3D printed after personalized design of the vertebral body diameter, porosity and procedures of reconstruction and fixation. Lesion resection and prosthesis implantation were carried out in accordance with the preoperative plan. After operation, the motor function of cervical or lumbar vertebrae, tumor recurrence, and spinal stability reconstructed were regularly observed.Results:Resections and reconstructions went uneventfully in both cases. The 2 patients were followed up for 21 and 13 months respectively. Their postoperative images showed that their 3D printed vertebral bodies fitted the neighboring vertebral bodies well. The spinal stability was reconstructed without any loosening or periprosthetic osteolysis, and the tumors were removed completely with no recurrence in both cases. Their spinal motor function was satisfactory.Conclusions:Digital orthopedic technology can offer accurate guidance in the treatment of spinal tumors. It is necessary to consider local physiological anatomy in personalized design of a metal vertebral body 3D printed. Clinical application of 3D printed metal vertebral bodies is a new strategy for spinal reconstruction following spinal tumor resection.
2.Cyberbullying and associated factors among middle school students
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 explore the repairing effect and mechanism of tangeretin in rats with spinal cord injury.Methods:The rats were divided into sham-operation group, model group and tangeretin group according to random number table, with 8 rats in each group. Except for the sham-operation group, Allen hit method was used to make rat models in the other groups. After the model was successfully established, the tangeretin group was intragastrically administered with tangeretin 50 mg/kg, and the sham-operation group and the model group were intragastrically administered with an equal volume of normal saline once a day for 14 days. On days 0, 3, 7, and 14 after modeling, the motor function recovery of rats was assessed using the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score; the morphological changes of the spinal cord tissues were observed using HE staining and Nissl staining; the SOD and GSH activities and MDA, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-10 levels in the spinal cord tissues of rats in each group were measured using ELISA kit detection; the GFAP and Neun expressions in the spinal cord tissues were detected by immunofluorescence; the IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-10, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2), and NAD (P) H-quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1) expressions in the spinal cord tissues were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the model group, the BBB score increased in the tangeretin group ( P<0.05), HE staining score decreased ( P<0.05), and the number of Nissl bodies increased ( P<0.05); the level of IL-10, SOD and GSH activities increased ( P<0.05), and IL-1β, TNF-α and MDA levels decreased in the spinal cord tissue ( P<0.05); GFAP fluorescence intensity decreased ( P<0.05) and NeuN fluorescence intensity increased ( P<0.05); the relative expression of IL-1β and TNF-α decreased ( P<0.05), and the relative expressions of IL-10, Nrf-2 and NQO-1 protein increased ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Tangeretin can exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects through the Nrf2/NQO1 signaling pathway and alleviate early spinal cord injury in rats. On the other hand, it may promote the recovery of spinal cord injury by reducing glial scar generation and promoting neural cellogenesis.

Metastasis and resistance are main causes to affect the outcome of the current anticancer therapies. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) as an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone takes important role in the tumor metastasis and resistance. Targeting Hsp90 and downregulating its expression show promising in inhibiting tumor metastasis and resistance. In this study, a redox-responsive dual-drug nanocarrier was constructed for the effective delivery of a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug PTX, and a COA-modified 4-arm PEG polymer (4PSC) was synthesized. COA, an active component in oleanolic acid that exerts strong antitumor activity by downregulating Hsp90 expression, was used as a structural and functional element to endow 4PSC with redox responsiveness and Hsp90 inhibitory activity. Our results showed that 4PSC/PTX nanomicelles efficiently delivered PTX and COA to tumor locations without inducing systemic toxicity. By blocking the Hsp90 signaling pathway, 4PSC significantly enhanced the antitumor effect of PTX, inhibiting tumor proliferation and invasiveness as well as chemotherapy-induced resistance in vitro. Remarkable results were further confirmed in vivo with two preclinical tumor models. These findings demonstrate that the COA-modified 4PSC drug delivery nanosystem provides a potential platform for enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapies.
