Objective: This study was to investigate the necessity of wearing a cervical collar after single-segment anterior cervical discectomy and decompression. Methods: The experimental methods were used to group the two wards in the same department. There were 54 patients in the experimental group and 48 patients in the control group. The patients in the experimental group did not wear the cervical collar during the postoperative outpatient activities and after discharge. The control group patients wore the cervical collar within 3 months after walking and after discharge. The cervical dysfunction index of the two groups before surgery and 3 months after surgery was compared between the two groups; also vertebral fusion at 6 months postoperatively; and SF-36 (Quality of Life Assessment Scale) scores before surgery and 3 months after surgery. Results: The NDI of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the preoperative NDI (20.62%±1.94% vs 26.06%±2.17%) (t=18.32, P<0.01). The NDI of the control group was 3 months after operation compared with the preoperative NDI (21.30±%1.87% vs26.26%±2.74%) also had a significant decrease (t=16.67, P<0.01). The NDI of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the preoperative NDI (14.97%±1.85%vs26.06%±2.17%) (t=31.93, P<0.01), the NDI of the control group was significantly lower than that of the preoperative NDI (15.98%±1.49% vs26.26%±2.74%) at 6 months after operation (t=24.45, P<0.01). The difference was statistically significant. The SF-36 score in the last 3 months was higher than that in the control group (53.37±9.23 vs 45.77±8.07), and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.40, P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with the external fixation without neck and neck, the treatment of cervical external fixation does not affect the postoperative treatment effect, and can improve the quality of life of patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and significance of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in liver tissues after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in rats.MethodsSixteen Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into the IRI group and the Sham group according to the random number table, 8 rats in each group. The portal vein and branches of hepatic artery of the rats in the IRI group were clamped with the atraumatic vascular clamp. After 45 min of ischemia, reperfusion was performed for 6 h. The porta hepatis of rats in the Sham group was exposed and the hepatic blood flow was not occluded. The morphological changes of the liver tissues in two groups were observed. The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were tested and the contents of HIF-1α and VEGF in liver tissues were determined. Data comparison between two groups was conducted usingt test.ResultsUnder light microscope, swelling, vacuolar degeneration of the liver cells, inflammatory cell infiltration, hepatic sinusoidal dilatation, disorganized hepatic cords and spotty necrosis were observed in the IRI group. The histomorphology of liver tissues in the Sham group was normal. The serum ALT and AST in the IRI group was respectively (1 007±130) and (1 307±72) U/L, which were significantly higher than (59±4) and (81±3) U/L in the Sham group (t=20.700, 48.448;P<0.05). The relative expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in liver tissues of IRI group was 1.77±0.10 and 1.86±0.05 respectively, which were significantly higher than 0.60±0.22 and 0.83±0.06 in the Sham group (t=13.623, 35.563;P<0.05).ConclusionThe expression of HIF-1αand VEGF in liver tissues increase significantly during early IRI, which may play a role in reducing the IRI of organism.

OBJECTIVETo analyze a case of supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) with combined genetic techniques and explore its correlation with the clinical phenotype.

METHODSThe SMC was analyzed with G-banded karyotyping, multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array).

RESULTSG-banding analysis indicated that the patient has a karyotype of 47,XX,+mar. MLPA showed that there were duplications of proximal 15q. FISH assay using D15Z4 probes indicated that the SMC was a pseudodicentric chromosome derived from chromosome 15. And SNP-array revealed that there were two extra copies of 15q11-13 region spanning from locus 20 161 372 to 29 071 810.

CONCLUSIONThe duplication of Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome critical region probably underlies the abnormal phenotype of the inv dup(15) case with a BP3:BP3 rearrangement.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of witnessing domestic violence,and to explore the relationship between witness domestic violence in childhood and college students’ injury and violence behaviors. Methods: In October 2018, self-made questionnaire on “Health and Risky Behaviors among University Students in Anhui Province” was conducted among 4 034 college students from 4 universities in Hefei. Multivariate Logistic regression models (control of confounding factors) were used to explore the impact of childhood witnessing domestic violence on college students’ injury and violence. Results: Among 4 034 college students,the prevalence of witnessing domestic emotional violence,mild physical violence and severe physical violence in childhood was 27.6%,22.4%,10.7%,respectively. Univariate analysis showed that students with experiences of witness domestic emotional violence,mild physical violence and severe physical violence had higher rates of self-injury,physical,emotional,and sexual violence compared to those without domestic violence witness(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that witnessing domestic severe physical violence,emotional violence in childhood associated positively with self-harm (OR=1.53,95%CI=1.05-2.23; OR=2.15,95%CI=1.51-3.04) and emotional violence (OR=1.65,95%CI=1.16-2.35; OR=2.57,95%CI=1.87-3.53). Witnessing domestic severe physical violence showed positive association with physical violence (OR=4.99,95%CI=2.58-9.62) and sexual violence (OR=8.68,95%CI=3.30-22.81) among college students (P<0.05). Conclusion The experiences of witness domestic violence can increases the risk of college student’s injury and violence behaviors,especially witness domestic severe physical violence.

Objective:To explore the cellular heterogeneity and the differences in branched trajectory of pericytes between keloids and localized scleroderma, and to provide new clues for the pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of the two skin fibrotic diseases.Methods:Single cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of 3 cases of scleroderma, 4 cases of keloid and their corresponding 4 cases of adjacent normal skin samples were selected from GEO and GSA-Human databases, and the expression matrix of the data was drawn. Seurat 4.3.0 of R (4.2.2) was used to process the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding ( t-SNE) visualization map. Monocle 2.24.0 was used to analyze the pseudo-temporal trajectory of pericytes. Results:The unsupervised clustering of keloid and scleroderma skin tissues revealed 19 different cell populations, among which C7 and C11 cells were pericytes, marked by high expression levels of PDGFRB and RGS5 genes, accounting for 7.53% of the total cells. Pericytes can be further divided into 8 subgroups. Pseudo-temporal analysis revealed a branched trajectory with two major branches, that is, cell fate 1 and cell fate 2, which could be further divided into 5 cellular states of pericytes (S1-S5). S4 constituted the most of the prebranch, which represented the cellular state of the initial pericyte phenotype. S5 constituted the most of the cell fate 1 branch, which represented the early differentiation state of the pericyte phenotype. S1, S2, S3 constituted the most of the cell fate 2 branch. S3 represented the intermediate differentiation state of the pericyte phenotype, while S1 and S2 represented the terminal differentiation states of the pericyte phenotype. Compared with the uniform distribution of various differentiation states of pericytes in normal skin, the keloid pericytes mainly distributed in the prebranch (S4), cell fate 1 (S5) and the first half of cell fate 2 (S3), representing cellular states of the initial, early and intermediate phases of the pericyte phenotype. Branched expression analysis modeling revealed the overexpression of SOX4, COL4A1, COL6A3, AHR, CXCL3 and IL1R1 genes, et cetera. On the other hand, the localized scleroderma pericytes mainly distributed in the bottom half of cell fate 2 (S1, S2), representing the final differentiated phase of pericyte phenotype, which overexpressed ACTA2 and MYH11 genes.Conclusion:Pericytes in keloid and scleroderma are heterogenous and have different differentiation trajectories. Pericytes in keloid have stem-like characteristics, and play an important role in the pathologic characteristics of invasiveness and recurrence through high expression of genes related to cell stemness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasiveness, and immune microenvironment regulation. However, pericytes in localized scleroderma may mainly transdifferentiate into myofibroblasts, leading to their fibrotic pathological phenotype.
