Methods: Preoperatively, all 160 patients with OVCFs underwent pressure-pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation (TS), conditioned pain modulation (CPM), and imaging assessments. Pain intensity and pain-related disability were evaluated before and after PVP. Results: Preoperatively, patients with OVCFs had lower PPTs in both local pain and pain-free areas and lower CPM and higher TS in pain-free areas than healthy participants (p<0.05). Unlike patients with acute fractures, patients with subacute/chronic OVCFs showed higher TS with or without lower CPM in the pain-free area compared with healthy participants (p<0.05). Postoperatively, RBP occurred in 17 of 160 patients (10.6%). All preoperative covariates with significant differences between the RBP and non-RBP groups were subjected to multivariate logistic regression, showing that intravertebral vacuum cleft, posterior fascia edema, numeric rating pain scale scores for low back pain at rest, and TS were independently associated with RBP (p<0.05). Conclusions Augmented central pain processing may occur in patients with OVCFs, even in the subacute stage, and this preexisting CS may be associated with RBP. Preoperative assessment of TS in pain-free areas may provide additional information for identifying patients who may be at risk of RBP development, which may be beneficial for preventing this complication.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3, soluble advanced glycation end product receptor (sRAGE), nucleotide binding oligomerization domain like receptor 3 (NLRP3) mRNA and cognitive impairment in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).Methods:143 patients with HICH treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from July 2016 to July 2019 were selected as the research objects. Among the 143 patients with HICH, there were 68 patients with cognitive impairment (cognitive impairment group) and 75 patients without cognitive impairment (control group). The age, gender, amount of intracerebral hemorrhage, bleeding site, blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipid of the two groups were counted, and the mRNA levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3, sRAGE and NLRP3 were detected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of cognitive impairment in patients with HICH.Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, smoking, education, bleeding site, diabetes rate, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) between cognitive dysfunction group and control group ( P>0.05); There were significant differences in bleeding volume and neurological function defect score (NIHSS) score between cognitive impairment group and control group ( P<0.05); The level of 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3 in cognitive impairment group was lower than that in control group ( P<0.05), and the expression level of NLRP3 mRNA was higher than that in control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in sRAGE between the two groups ( P>0.05); Logistic regression analysis showed that the decrease of 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 level, the increase of bleeding volume and NIHSS score were independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in HICH patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Decreased serum 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3 levels may increase the risk of cognitive impairment in patients with HICH.

Objective?To explore the effects of ideation and imitation behavior training on rehabilitation in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods?Totally 200 schizophrenia patients admitted and treated in 2016 from Fuzhou Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital were selected and equally randomized to treatment group (n=100) and control group (n=100) according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing, while patients in the treatment group received ideation and imitation behavior training for 8 weeks on this basis. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Nurses' Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOISE) and Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) were used to compare the rehabilitation effects between the two groups. Results?After intervention for 8 weeks, the score for correct response in WCSI in patients in the treatment group was (24.78±7.39), higher than that of patients in the control group, and the score for continuous mistakes in WCSI in patients in the treatment group was (14.78±5.27), lower than that of patients in the control group (t=3.800, 3.640;P＜0.01). After intervention for 8 weeks, the scores for NOISE (200.06±26.09) and PSP (79.83±4.21) in patients in the treatment group were higher than those of patients in the control group (t=6.880, 19.040;P＜0.01). Conclusions?Ideation and imitation behavior training helps to improve the patients' cognitive performance, including attention, memory, linguistic competence and reasoning ability, as well as self-care ability of daily living and social function, and promotes chronic schizophrenia patients' rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the clinical value of methylation at promoter sites of urine protein kinase Y-linked(PRKY)gene in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer(PCa).Methods Urine samples were collected from 50 suspected PCa patients.After extracting DNA,the methylation levels of the PRKY gene promoter sites cg05163709,cg08045599,and cg05618150 were detected using quantitative methylation-specific PCR(qMSP).Simultaneously,the patients were divided into the benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)group and the PCa group.The differences in clinical indicators between the two groups were analyzed,as well as the methylation status of the PRKY gene promoter sites in the urine of the two groups of patients.The receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curve of PRKY promoter sites methylation was established,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to analyze the diagnostic value of PRKY promoter sites methylation in PCa,and to perform com-bined diagnosis with clinical indicators.Results The methylation rates of cg05163709 and cg05618150 in urine specimens of PCa patients were significantly higher than those of BPH patients.The AUC for cg05163709 methyla-tion in diagnosing PCa was 0.762,with a sensitivity of 86.70%.It showed better performance in early screening for PCa compared to total prostate specific antigen(tPSA),percentage free prostate specific antigen(f/tPSA)and prostate specific antigen density(PSAD)index.We found that the AUC for cg05618150 methylation in conjunc-tion with PSAD in diagnosing PCa was 0.787,with a sensitivity of 86.70%.The AUC of cg05163709 methylation and PSAD in the joint diagnosis of PCa was 0.855,and the specificity could reach 95.00%.Conclusion The methylation of urine PRKY gene promoter sites cg05163709 and cg05618150 shows high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing PCa,making them promising biomarkers for early detection of PCa.
