Objective:To explore the association between the gross motor development of children and Chi-nese developmental dyslexia.Methods:A total of 54 children were enrolled,indadit 27 children with Chinese DD and 27 age-gender-matched normal children.The Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition(TGMD-3),and the balance tests from the Movement Assessment Battery for Children(M-ABC)were used to evaluate the children's gross motor development level.Children's reading ability was evaluated by primary school students'literacy test question bank,one-minute reading task,and the Reading Test on Pupils.Results:The overall analysis of motortests showed that the grossmotor total score,locomotor score,object control score,and balance score in the DD group were significantly lower than those in the normal control group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed a negative association between balance scores,locomotor scores,object control scores,TGMD-3 total scores and indi-viduals with dyslexia(OR=3.08,1.35,1.16,1.13,Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:The delayed gross motor development of children is associated with the occurrence of Chinese developmental dyslexia.

This study aims to investigate whether the dietary supplement coenzyme Q10(CoQ10)alleviates bisphenol A(BPA)-induced mouse Leydig cell line(TM3)damage through autophagy pathway.Cell activity was measured by CCK-8 assay when treated with different concentrations of BPA for 24 h.TM3 cells were then divided into 5 groups:CON group,BPA group,Torin2 group,CQ group and BPA+CoQ10 group,with three repeats in each group.The morphology of TM3 cells were observed under inverted light microscope.Western blot was used to determine the protein ex-pression of p62 and LC3-Ⅰ/Ⅱ.The autophagy level of TM3 cells was detected by MDC cell auto-phagy staining,the mRNA expression levels of Atg7,Beclin 1,p62 and Atg5 genes were deter-mined by RT-qPCR,and the apoptosis rate of TM3 cells was detected by flow cytometry.The results showed that compared with 0 μmol/L BPA treatment group,the viability of TM3 cells de-creased significantly after 24 h treatment with 60 μmol/L BPA(P＜0.01).Compared with CON group,the number of TM3 cells markedly reduced in the BPA-treated group,the expression of au-tophagy-related proteins(p62,LC3-Ⅱ)significantly increased(P＜0.01),comparable to the CQ group.The MDC fluorescence intensity dramatically enhanced(P＜0.01),the mRNA expression levels of autophagy-related genes(Atg7,Beclin1,p62,Atg5)significantly elevated(P＜0.01),and the apoptosis rate significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with BPA group,the expression levels of autophagy-related genes Atg7 and Beclin1 mRNA(P＜0.05),p 62 and Atg5 mRNA(P＜0.01)in TM3 cells treated with BPA+CoQ10 significantly decreased.Moreover,the expres-sion levels of autophagy-related protein p62(P＜0.01)and LC3-Ⅱ(P＜0.05),MDC fluorescence intensity(P＜0.05)and apoptosis rate(P＜0.01)also markedly reduced.In conclusion,CoQ10 could subsequently reduce the apoptosis of TM3 cells by improving the abnormal autophagy flux induced by BPA.

BACKGROUND:Facet joint osteoarthritis is acknowledged as a significant contributor to lower back pain in the geriatric population.The advent of an innovative spinal facet joint fusion device presents a therapeutic option for intervening during the initial stages of facet joint osteoarthritis,and significantly reduces the incidence of a series of complications caused by poor early conservative treatment and late surgical treatment.However,its effect on the biomechanics of the lumbar spine is unknown.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biomechanical disparities between the novel lumbar zygapophyseal joint fusion device and traditional fusion devices.METHODS:A comprehensive three-dimensional finite element model of the L3-S1 lumbar spine was established and validated.Based on this intact model,three groups of surgical models were constructed:a bilateral pedicle screw fixation model,a bilateral novel facet joint fusion fixation model,and a bilateral facet screw fixation model,with the surgical segment designated as L4-5.Under a load of 500 N,a torque of 7.5 Nm was applied to all lumbar models to calculate the range of motion,displacement values,and intervertebral disc stress values at the L4-5 segment;stress values at the L3-4 and L5-S1 segments were also measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the intact model,the range of motion at the L4-5 segment was reduced in all surgical models.(2)The novel device exhibited the smallest range of motion at the L4-5 segment under left and right rotational conditions;the greatest range of motion at the L4-5 segment under extension conditions;and a greater range of motion under other conditions than the bilateral pedicle screw fixation model.(3)The novel device demonstrated the smallest displacement values at the L4-5 segment under left and right rotational conditions;under other conditions,the displacement values at the L4-5 segment were greater than those in the bilateral pedicle screw fixation model.(4)In terms of stress distribution at the L4-5 segment,the novel device consistently exhibited the smallest values across all conditions.(5)For the L3-4 segment,the novel device showed the greatest stress values under extension and left and right rotational conditions,while under other conditions,the values were lower than those in the bilateral pedicle screw fixation model.(6)Compared with pedicle screw fixation,the novel device produced smaller stress values at the L5-S1 segment.(7)This study indicates that,compared with pedicle screw fixation,the novel device impacts the biomechanics of the lumbar spine by fusing the facet joints.It provides stability while preserving the range of motion at the surgical segment and reduces stress on the intervertebral discs of the surgical and adjacent segments,thereby potentially delaying disc degeneration.This suggests that the novel device can achieve biomechanical effects similar to those of pedicle screw fixation in theory.

Objective To develop a virtual reality rehabilitation support system and evaluate its effects on improving discharge readiness in caregivers of laryngectomy patients.Methods The system is equipped with a virtual reality-based home nursing skills guidance module for post-laryngectomy patients and an evidence-based artificial intelligence Q&A module.A convenience sampling method was adopted to select 64 caregivers of patients who underwent laryngectomy for the first time in the otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery department of a tertiary A hospital in Beijing from July 2024 to January 2025 for a systematic study on application effects.To avoid cross-contamination between an experimental group and a control group,ward-based grouping was applied.A coin toss was used to assign Ward 1 to an experimental group and Ward 2 to a control group,with 32 cases in each group.The experimental group received discharge guidance based on the virtual reality technology,while the control group was provided with conventional verbal and written discharge instructions.The readiness for hospital discharge and the quality of discharge teaching scores of caregivers were compared between the 2 groups after the intervention.Results No sample detachment.After the intervention,the patient caregivers in the experimental group scored significantly higher than those in the control group in terms of discharge readiness and quality of discharge guidance,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.001).Conclusion This study developed the virtual reality rehabilitation system for laryngeal cancer patients demonstrated good feasibility and effectiveness.The application of this system for discharge education significantly improved discharge readiness of caregivers and quality of discharge guidance for post-laryngectomy patients.It also helped with the optimization of health education models,enhancement of nursing resource utilization efficiency,and improvement of transitional care.

Objective To verify the accuracy of a Non-Contact Sleep Monitoring Mattress(NCSMM)based on body movement during sleep in assessing sleep quality of patients before neurosurgery in order to provide a more portable and efficient assessment tool for clinical staff.Methods A single-arm trial was conducted on 114 inpatients admitted in our department selected with convenience sampling.Sleep quality data of 1 night were collected through 5 sleep quality assessment tools,including NCSMM,polysomnography(PSG),Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System(PROMIS)Sleep Disturbance scale,Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale(RCSQ),and a wearable device(smart watch for body movements and sleep quality monitoring).The sleep efficiency(≤85%)obtained by PSG was used as the diagnostic standard for sleep disorders.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and Youden index were calculated for the other 4 tools to evaluate and compare their diagnostic effectiveness.Results The AUC value for NCSMM,PROMIS,RCSQ and smart watch was 0.788(95%CI:0.687～0.888,P<0.001),0.664(95%CI:0.543～0.784,P=0.02),0.723(95%CI:0.600～0.846,P=0.001)and 0.750(95%CI:0.654～0.846,P<0.001),respectively.The diagnostic accuracy rate was 0.774,0.559,0.742 and 0.602,with corresponding Youden index value of 0.488,0.321,0.456,and 0.459.NCSMM demonstrated the best AUC value,sensitivity and Youden index when compared with the other 3 tools.Conclusion NCSMM shows high accuracy in assessing sleep quality in pre-neurosurgery inpatients,and it is a viable portable and efficient assessment tool in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between preoperative platelet function and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute Stanford A aortic dissection(ATAAD) undergoing emergency surgery.Methods:ATAAD emergency surgical patients who underwent preoperative thromboelastography(TEG) examination at three cardiovascular disease hospitals from January 2018 to December 2023 were consecutively selected in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the patient survived to discharge.Results:867 patients were included in this study. The in-hospital mortality was 11.2%(97 cases). Compared with the DG group(97 cases), the age, pericardial effusion volume, lactate concentration, and MA value of patients in the SG group(770 cases) were higher( P<0.001). Factors independently associated with in-hospital mortality were age(>60 years old), coronary hypoperfusion, pericardial effusion volume(>200.00 ml), and MA value(<60.6 mm). There was a correlation between MA value and in-hospital mortality( P=0.012), and the mediating effect between MA value and platelet count was not significant. Conclusion:There is a correlation between preoperative platelet function and in-hospital in ATAAD patients, and improving platelet function may be one of the important ways to improve the clinical prognosis of those patients.

Objective To explore potential association between sedentary time and the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease(CVD)in Chinese population using data from the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology(PURE-China)cohort study.Methods Baseline data were collected,from 2022 standardized questionnaires and physical examinations,with follow-up until August 31,2022.The primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events(non-fatal myocardial infarction,stroke or heart failure).Multivariable Cox shared frailty model was used to analyze the association between sedentary time and the risks of all-cause mortality and CVD in the target population,and to compare differences across subgroups based on gender,age and geographic location.Results A total of 47 931 participants were recruited,and 43 367 were included in the final analysis.Over a me-dian follow-up of 11.9±3.0 years,2 277 participants experienced all-cause mortality,3 551 experienced cardiovas-cular events.The Cox model indicated that,compared to individuals with less than 4 h of sedentary time per day,those with 6-8 h had a 23％increased in risk of all-cause mortality(HR=1.23,95％CI:1.06-1.44)and an 18％increased risk of CVD(HR=1.18,95％CI:1.04-1.33).For individuals with more than 8 h of sedentary time,the risk increased by 50％for all-cause mortality(HR=1.50,95％CI:1.16-1.94)and 44％for CVD(HR=1.44,95％CI:1.16-1.79).These associations were more pronounced in men and individuals aged 50 years and older.Conclusions Sedentary behavior is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease in Chinese population,especially in the population with sedentary time of 6 hrs or more per day.Reducing sedentary time and increasing physical activity is an important strategy to mitigate the disease burden of cardiovascular disease and premature death.

Objective:To assess the accuracy of preoperative enhanced CT in evaluating the degree of lymph node metastasis in gallbladder cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the enhanced CT imaging data of 124 gallbladder cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from Jan 2017 to Dec 2018. Imaging staging was used to classify lymph node metastasis. Pathological and imaging data of 70 patients with confirmed postoperative lymph node pathology were compared to evaluate the accuracy of imaging methods in detecting lymph node involvement.Results:Lymph node metastasis in the 124 surgical patients was categorized into three groups using imaging evaluation methods. The overall accuracy of determining lymph node positivity and negativity was 63%, with a sensitivity of 64% and specificity of 62%. The accuracy of detecting lymph node metastasis in gallbladder cancer was higher when lymph node fusion and internal necrosis were observed. The overall survival rate differed significantly among gallbladder cancer patients at different lymph node imaging stages ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CT imaging evaluation has diagnostic value for lymph node metastasis in gallbladder cancer and has a certain predictive effect on the prognosis of patients.
