Objective To explore the influence of gender and age on hip and plantar pressure changes in the sit-to-stand transition. Methods Kinematic parameters such as changes in hip joint angle,motor velocity and speed,and also plantar pressure changes such as stress,pressure and contact area were observed as subjects of different ages and genders performed sit-to-stand transitions. Results ①Hip kinematics:The speeds of trunk movement and hip joint angle change in men and women were significantly different.Their average speed in rising was also significantly different.The young and middle-aged people rose faster with faster hip joint angle changes than the elderly.Their total rising time was therefore significantly shorter as well.()Plantar pressure kinematics:The men's plantar pressures were significantly higher than those of the women throughout the rising process.The plantar pressure of the young and middle-aged subjects was also significantly higher than that of the elderly.At the last stage of sit-to-stand transfer process the ground contact area of the women's was significantly larger,on average,than that of the men,and the elderly had significantly larger contact areas than young or middle-aged people. Conclusion During sit-to-stand transfers,men and young people move faster than women or the elderly.Women and older people tend to have larger foot-ground contact areas than men and younger persons.Different rehabilitation measures are required for different ages,genders and diseases.

Objective:
To investigate a mass incident of bromadiolone poisoning and analyze related clinical data.
Methods:
An investigation was performed for a mass incident of bromadiolone poisoning in a place in Shandong, China in December 2015, and related clinical data were analyzed and summarized.
Results:
This incident was a mass incident of bromadiolone poisoning caused by spreading poison. The poisoned patients had major clinical manifestations of bleeding and coagulation disorder and all of them were cured after comprehensive rescue, especially after intravenous drip of vitamin K1.
Conclusion
Bromadiolone poisoning can cause severe visceral hemorrhage and coagulation disorder, and intravenous drip of vitamin K1 has a good therapeutic effect.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of hearing loss caused by neonatal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, to construct a nomogram prediction model, and to evaluate its discrimination and consistency.Methods:Data of a total of 250 neonates with congenital and perinatal CMV infection who were treated in our hospital from June 2018 to March 2021 were collected, and grouped into hearing-impaired group of 50 cases and hearing-unimpaired group of 200 cases according to whether the hearing was impaired or not. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors affecting hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates. R software was applied to construct a nomogram model for predicting the risk of hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates, and the ROC curve and calibration curve were analyzed to verify the discrimination and consistency of the nomogram model.Results:Among 250 CMV-infected neonates in the modeling group, the incidence of hearing impairment was 20.00%. The proportion of primary maternal infection before 14 weeks of gestation, the proportion of urine CMV viral load >5×10 4 copies/ml, the proportion of symptomatic CMV infection and the proportion of abnormal head MRI in the hearing-impaired group were significantly higher than those in the hearing-unimpaired group ( χ2=12.545, 11.812, 11.801, and 9.025, P=0.000, 0.001, 0.001, and 0.003). That urine CMV viral load>5×10 4 copies/ml, symptomatic CMV infection and abnormal head MRI were the risk factors affecting hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates ( OR=2.388, 6.765, and 4.993, P=0.022, 0.000, and 0.001), the prediction model of the line graph was constructed using Bootstrap internal verification, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test =6.055, P=0.301, area under ROC curve was 0.817, 95% CI=0.754~0.880, and external verification result showed that the predicted probability of the calibration curve was close to the actual probability and has a good agreement, with an AUC of 0.791 (95% CI=0.716~0.866). Conclusions:The nomogram model constructed in this study to predict the risk of hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates can be used for the prediction of hearing loss in neonates after CMV infection.

Objective To investigate the effect of autophagy response on neurological functions and the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathway in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Fifty-four healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,TBI group and TBI+autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) group (n=18).TBI animal models of the later two groups were established using Feeney's method.Rats in the sham-operated group were only performed bone window opening without knock;rats in the TBI+3-MA group were given intraperitoneal injection of 3-MA(5 mg/kg) 30 min after modeling and rats in the other two groups were given the same volume of normal saline.Three and 7 d after modeling,the protein levels of S100B and neuron specific enolase (NSE) in serum were tested with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA);modified neurologic severity scale (mNSS) was used to detect the movement,sense and reflex functions;brain water content was measured with wet-dry weight method.The autophagy related factors (LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1) and MAPKs signaling pathway related factors (c-Jun N-terminal kinase [JNK],phosphorylated [p]-JNK,extracellular signal-regulated kinase [ERK]1/2,p-ERK1/2,p38MAPK and p-p38MAPK) protein expressions in TBI cerebral cortex were determined by Western blotting.Results As compared with those in the sham-operated group,the brain edema level,mNSS scores,and S100B and NSE protein levels in the TBI group and TBI+3-MA group were significantly increased (P<0.05);TBI+3-MA group had significantly lower brain edema level,mNSS scores,and S100B and NSE protein levels than TBI group (P<0.05).The expression levels of autophagy and MAPKs signaling pathway related factors in the TBI group and TBI+3-MA group were significantly higher as compared with those in the sham-operated group (P<0.05).As compared with the TBI group,TBI+3-MA group had significantly decreased levels of LC3-Ⅱ,Beclin-1 and activation of JNK and p-p38MAPK signaling pathways (P<0.05).Conclusion Suppressing autophagy response markedly improves neurological outcomes after TBI,possibly mediated by inhibiting activation of JNK and p38MAPK signaling pathways.

Objective:To observe the change of the left ventricular(LV) wall shear stress (WSS) using vector flow mapping (VFM) in different segments at each phase of diastolic period among normal subjects.Methods:From August 2018 to March 2019, 200 healthy volunteers selected from the Physical Examination Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were recruited. The WSS values of LV segments at the same and at different phases[isovolumic relaxation period(D1), rapid filling period(D2), slow filling period(D3), atrial contraction period(D4)] in diastole were measured and analyzed.Results:①The relationships of the WSS of LV different segments at the same phase of diastolic period: The WSS values of anterior septum, posterior septum and posterior wall during D1, and the WSS values of posterior septum, posterior wall and inferior wall during D2 showed basal>middle>apical segments, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). ②The changes of the WSS values of LV different segments during diastolic period: During D1-D2-D3-D4 period, the absolute values of WSS in anterior septum, posterior septum, anterior wall, lateral wall and inferior wall showed an increasing-decreasing-increasing trend. During D2-D3-D4 period, the absolute values of WSS in the posterior wall showed a decreasing-increasing trend. During D1-D2-D3-D4 period, the absolute values of WSS in the apical segment of anterior septum, basal and middle segments of posterior septum, basal, middle and apical segments of anterior wall, basal segment of lateral wall, the middle and apical segments of posterior wall, basal and middle segments of inferior wall all showed an increasing-decreasing-increasing trend, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The LV WSS in different segments at the same phase or in the same segment at the different phases in diastole exhibit a regular change and is consistent with the LV hemodynamic changes, which indicates that WSS can quantitatively reflect the hemodynamic changes of the LV in normal subjects.
