Objective:To describe the epidemiological characteristics of mental disorders in Ximeng Wa Au-tonomous County and explore psychosocial risk factors of mental disorders. Methods:Two thousand three hundred and eighty one residents aged 1 8 years and over were sampled using multistage sampling in Ximeng Wa Autono-mous County in 2013. All respondents were investigated by face-to-face interview. Mental disorders were screened out by using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)and diagnosed according to the International Classification of Diseases Checklist (ICD-10-Checklist)criteria. Results:Life time prevalence of any mental disorder was 19. 86%(419/2110). The lifetime prevalence rates of substance use disorder,anxiety disorder,insomnia,mood disorder, schizophrenia were 12. 99%(274/2110),6. 30%(133/2110),2. 94%(62/2110),2. 32%(49/2110)and 1. 00%(21/2110)respectively. Male (OR=0. 43),older age (35 -49 years,OR=1. 78;50 -64 years,OR=2. 59;≥65 years,OR=3. 5 1 ),unmarried and other marital status (OR=0. 3 1 ),non-Wa and non-Lahu ethnic groups (OR=0. 29)were associated with neurotic,stress-related and somatoform disorders. Male (OR=2. 41),older age (35 -49 years,OR=2. 29;50-64 years,OR=3. 20;≥65 years,OR=4. 58),non-farmer and non-self-employed occupation (OR=0. 41),and non-Wa and non-Lahu ethnic groups (OR=0. 32)were associated with psychoactive substance use disorder. Male (OR =0. 35 ) and order age (≥65 years,OR =3. 05 ) were associated with mood disorders. Conclusion:Lifetime prevalence of any mental disorder,substance use disorders and anxiety disorders are high in Ximeng Wa Autonomous County. Measures should be strengthened against prevalence of mental disorders in ethnic minority areas.

OBJECTIVE Alzheimer's disease(AD)and vascular dementia(VD)are the primary causes of dementia in elderly individuals,and therapeutic options for both conditions are limited.Overactivation of N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)receptors,decreased cerebral blood flow,and subsequent pathological events,play signifi-cant roles in the progression of AD and VD.METHODS In this study,we investigated the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of MN-08,a novel memantine nitrate,in mouse models of AD and rats with VD.RESULTS MN-08 was found to inhibit Aβ accumulation,prevent neuronal and dendritic spine loss,and attenuate cognitive deficits in 2-month-old APP/PS1 transgenic mice(following a 6-month preventative course)and in 8-month-old triple-transgenic(3×Tg-AD)mice(following a 4-month therapeutic course),as well as in rat models of VD with preventive and therapeutic treatments.In vitro,MN-08 was shown to bind to and antagonize NMDA receptors,inhibit calcium influx,and reverse dysregula-tions of the ERK and PI3K/Akt/GSK3β pathway,subse-quently preventing glutamate-induced neuronal loss.Additionally,MN-08 exhibited favorable pharmacokinet-ics,blood-brain barrier penetration,and safety profiles in rats and beagle dogs.CONCLUSION These findings suggest that the novel memantine nitrate MN-08 may be a useful therapeutic agent for AD and VD.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of super micro vascular imaging (SMI) in evaluating the microvascular perfusion of diabetes foot treated by tibial transverse bone transport.Methods:A retrospective study of 18 diabetic foot patients who underwent tibial transverse bone transport in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from May 2019 to December 2021 were analysed, including 12 males and 6 females, with an average age of 64.89±14.34 years (range, 30-90 years). All patients had varying degrees of foot ulcer. Before and after the operation, the blood vessels of the patient's lower leg and foot were examined. The display rate of low-velocity blood flow was compared between color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and SMI; the blood flow and vascular index at the beginning of the first dorsal metatarsal artery before and after operation under SMI were compared; the number and length of new blood vessels were also compared before and after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for at least 2 months. CDFI blood flow display rate was 73.6% (106/144), and SMI blood flow display rate was 80.6% (116/144), the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.68, P=0.031). Under SMI, the blood flow at the beginning of the first dorsal metatarsal artery on the affected side was measured before operation 3.38 (1.33, 7.56) ml/min, 1 week after operation 4.19(2.84, 11.48) ml/min and 1 month after operation 3.72 (2.52, 11.40) ml/min, with statistically significant difference (χ 2=9.46, P=0.009). There were statistically significant differences in blood flow at 1 week and 1 month after operation compared with that before operation ( P=0.033, P=0.003). The vascular index at the beginning of the first dorsal metatarsal artery on the affected side was 3.84±3.60, 6.51±4.92 and 6.82±5.36 before operation, 1 week and 1 month after operation, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant( F=4.35, P=0.031). The vascular index in the first week after operation was significantly higher than that before operation ( P=0.026). Up to the last follow-up, the number of new collaterals in 18 patients was 4.5 (2, 8), which was significantly different from 1 (0, 2) before operation ( Z=-3.57, P=0.001). In total, the length of 18 new blood vessels in 9 patients was longer than that before operation, and the establishment of grade 2 and grade 3 branches were observed in 5 patients. The superficial subcutaneous vessels were showed more clarity than that before surgery, and there was collateral circulation on the opposite side. Conclusion:SMI objectively reflects the changes of hemodynamics and microcirculation of patients after tibial transverse bone transport, and helps clinical preliminary predict the prognosis of patients and adjust individual treatment plan according to blood perfusion in time.

BACKGROUND:The angle of screw placement in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion plays a crucial role in determining the stability of the internal fixation system. OBJECTIVE:To predict the impact of different screw placement angles on the stress experienced by the internal fixation system in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion utilizing finite element analysis,with the ultimate goal of identifying the optimal screw placement angle. METHODS:A three-dimensional reconstruction method was employed to establish a mechanical model of the cervical spine,enabling the simulation of three distinct working conditions:scoliosis,uprightness,and forward flexion.In SolidWorks 2017,the anterior cervical plate and screw models were built according to different placement angles of the screws,with a as the inward offset,b as the ideal position,c as the outward offset,d as the downward offset,and e as the upward offset.The stress distribution of internal fixation system at different screw placement angles was observed,and the stress and displacement were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)By constructing a finite element model of the entire cervical spine and incorporating an anterior titanium plate,it was found that the biomechanical changes in the spine did not significantly differ based on the various angles of screw insertion on the titanium plate under the same working conditions.(2)However,microscopic analysis revealed that the outward offset(c)screw position exhibited the most effective resistance against side bending,while the downward offset(d)screw demonstrated optimal load-bearing capacity in the upright condition.Additionally,the outward deviation(c)screw displayed superior anti-bending effects in the reverse buckling condition.(3)The fixation effect of the internal fixation device remained relatively stable across different motion conditions.Although there was a 10%variation in the internal fixation effect under the three working conditions when the screw was placed inward,outward,downward,or upward,the displacement changes were minimal.These findings suggest that the requirements of load bearing,bending resistance,and flexion resistance could be simultaneously met without a specific optimal screw location in clinical practice.(4)The placement direction of titanium plate screw in anterior cervical disc-resection and fusion has little effect on the mechanical stability of the cervical spine.The screw angles in different directions have little influence on the stability of the internal fixation device in the lateral,upright,and forward flexion movements of the cervical spine.There is no need to pursue the direction of screw placement in clinical operations.

OBJECTIVE:
To compare the effectiveness between the posterolateral approach and the posterolateral combined posteromedial approaches in the treatment of Mason type 2B posterior malleolar fracture.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 79 patients with posterior ankle fracture who met the selection criteria between January 2015 and January 2022. There were 62 cases of Mason 2B Pilon subtype and 17 cases of avulsion subtype. Among Mason 2B Pilon subtype patients, 35 were treated with posterolateral approach (group A), 27 patients were treated with combined approach (group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, injured side, cause of injury, time from injury to operation, preoperative hospital stay, preoperative visualanalogue scale (VAS) score, and intraoperative internal fixation between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients with Mason 2B avulsion subtype were treated by posterolateral approach, including 7 males and 10 females, aged from 25 to 68 years, with an average of 46.1 years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and complications were recorded. The reduction quality was evaluated by Ovadia deals radiographic score, and the ankle function and pain were evaluated by VAS score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and ankle range of motion.
RESULTS:
Mason 2B Pilon subtype: There was no significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and follow-up time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The radiological evaluation of Ovadia deals in group A was significantly worse than that in group B ( P<0.05). The VAS score in the two groups significantly improved at each time point after operation, and the VAS score and AOFAS score further improved with the extension of time after operation, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). Except that the AOFAS score of group A was significantly lower than that of group B at last follow-up ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in VAS score and AOFAS score between the two groups at other time points ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the ankle range of motion in group A was significantly less than that in group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of sural nerve injury, deep tissue infection, limitation of toe movement, and traumatic ankle arthritis between the two groups ( P>0.05). Mason 2B avulsion subtype: The operation time was (119.47±20.61) minutes and the intraoperative blood loss was 50 (35, 55) mL. Seventeen patients were followed up 13-25 months, with an average of 18 months. The Ovadia deals score was excellent in 10 cases, good in 6 cases, and poor in 1 case at 1 week after operation, and the excellent and good rate was 94.1%. All fractures healed in 8-18 weeks with an average of 12.35 weeks. There were 1 case of sural nerve injury and 3 cases of traumatic ankle arthritis after operation. No deep tissue infection or limitation of toe movement occurred. The VAS score decreased significantly and AOFAS score increased significantly with time, and the differences were significant between different time points before and after operation ( P<0.05). The ankle range of motion at last follow-up was (56.71±2.47)°.
CONCLUSION
Compared with the posterolateral approach, the combined approach is a better choice for the treatment of Mason 2B Pilon subtype. If the posteromedial bone block does not affect the reduction of the medial malleolus, the posterolateral approach can achieve good effectiveness for Mason 2B avulsion subtype.
