Objective To investigate changes in the microRNA expression profiles of apoptotic vesicles(apoVs)derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)under a simulated negative pressure environment,and to provide a theoretical basis for understanding the mechanism by which mechanical stress microenvironments influence the progression of osteoarthritis.Methods A negative pressure cellular environment was established using a pressure-loading system.Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed via the CCK-8 assay,Western blotting,and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining.ApoVs were isolated by differential centrifugation and characterized using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),nanoparticle tracking analysis(NTA),and Western blotting.Small RNA sequencing was performed using the HiSeq Single-End mode,and differential expression analysis of microRNAs was conducted using DESeq to screen for differentially expressed microRNAs.The differentially screened microRNAs were validated by real-time quantitative PCR.After treating BMSCs with inhibitors of these differentially expressed microRNAs,the effects of the screened microRNAs on BMSCs were detected.Results Compared to apoVs generated by BMSCs under STS chemical treatment,those produced under a-40 kPa pressure environment showed significantly upregulated miR-183-5p and downregulated miR-3473.GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that these differentially expressed microRNAs affected cell activity and inflammatory responses through multiple signaling pathways.Inhibition of miR-183-5p and miR-3473 expression reduced the proliferative activity of BMSCs.After inhibiting miR-183-5p expression,the levels of inflammatory factors increased.Inhibition of miR-3473 expression did not alter the IL-6 expression level,but significantly increased the TNFα expression level.Conclusions MicroRNAs specifically expressed in BMSC-derived apoVs under negative pressure stimulation may act as critical mechanical signaling mediators,regulating inflammatory response processes to participate in the pathogenesis and progression of arthritis.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between multifidus muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), fat infiltration index (FI), and the grading of lumbar facet joint degeneration (FJD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 105 patients with lumbar FJD treated at Sichuan Orthopaedic Hospital between January 2015 and December 2020. Patients were divided into three groups according to the Weishaupt grading system: 37 cases with Weishaupt grade 1 (Mild Group), 44 cases with Weishaupt grade 2 (Moderate Group), and 24 cases with Weishaupt grade 3 (Severe Group). Baseline characteristics [sex, age, body mass index (BMI), treatment duration], pathological features at initial diagnosis [segmental distribution, bone mineral density (BMD) T-score, facet joint asymmetry, endplate morphology, Modic classification, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score], and multifidus muscle MRI findings [multifidus cross-sectional area (CSA) and fat infiltration index (FI)] were compared among the three groups. The correlation between lumbar multifidus CSA, FI, and FJD grade was analyzed. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as xˉ± s; comparisons among multiple groups were performed by one-way ANOVA, pairwise comparisons were performed by LSD- t tests. Counting data were expressed as case (%) and compared by χ2 test. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between lumbar multifidus MRI parameters and FJD grade. Results:There were no statistically significant differences among the three FJD groups in sex, age, BMI, treatment duration, segmental distribution, BMD T-score, proportion of facet joint asymmetry, endplate morphology, Modic classification, ODI, or JOA score (all P>0.05). At the L4-5 level, the multifidus CSA on the affected side in the severe group was significantly smaller than in the moderate group and mild group [(6.2±1.2) cm2 vs. (7.0±1.1) cm2 vs. (7.8±1.2) cm2], and the CSA in the moderate group was smaller than in the mild group (all P<0.05). At both the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels, the FI on the affected side in the severe group was significantly greater than in the moderate group and mild group [(0.48±0.12) vs. (0.39±0.15) vs. (0.29±0.10) at L4-5; (0.49±0.12) vs. (0.41±0.10) vs. (0.30±0.13) at L5-S1], and the FI in the moderate group was greater than in the mild group (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that at the L4-5 level, multifidus CSA on the affected side was negatively correlated with FJD grade ( r=-0.41, P=0.004). At the L5-S1 level, FI on the affected side was positively correlated with FJD grade ( r=0.58, P<0.001). Conclusion:The CSA and FI of the multifidus muscle on the affected side in the lumbar spine exhibit significant correlations with the severity of FJD grading. Clinically, early functional exercises can be implemented based on the degree of multifidus muscle degeneration observed in patients.

Objective:Understanding of the psychological experiences of young and middle-aged male patients with schizophrenia regarding protective restraints.Methods:This study was qualitative study. Using purposive sampling, middle-aged and young male schizophrenia patients who had undergone protective restraints in the Affiliated Brain Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University were selected as participants from September to December 2022. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:A total of 12 young and middle-aged male schizophrenic patients were interviewed, and four themes were summarized, including patients' attitudes toward protective restraints, patients' emotional experiences, patients' physical experiences, and patients' needs during protective restraints.Conclusions:Protective restraints provide patients with safety in the acute phase, as well as a variety of positive and negative psychological experiences. Psychiatric nurses should grasp the patient's condition, dynamically assess the risk level, adopt appropriate restraint devices, improve restraint care based on the patient's needs, and actively seek alternative measures to restrain simultaneously.

Objective To understand the clinical applicability and implementation of expert consensus on the implementation and removal of protective restraints in psychiatry,and to provide references for promoting the standardized practice of psychiatric protective restraints and updating the consensus.Methods By the convenience sampling method,a questionnaire survey was conducted among nurses from 480 hospitals in 30 provinces from June 15 to July 15,2024.The survey was conducted using the instrument for evaluating clinical applicability of guide-lines(version 2.0)and a self-compiled questionnaire on the clinical implementation of the restraint consensus.Results A total of 7,844 valid questionnaires were collected,with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 93.78％.The results of clinical applicability scoring showed that the consensus had the lowest availability score(64.72％)and the highest acceptability score(76.74％).The results showed that nurses' receiving training and the level of their hospitals were the main influencing factors for scores in various dimensions(P＜0.05).4,774 participants(87.42％)believed that the application of consensus could enhance the standardization of nurses' restraint operations.The safety rate of the restraint consensus was 79.51％,and the economic ratio was 76.87％.Among the evaluators,1,739(22.17％)believed that there were implementation obstacles in the consensus.Conclusion The clinical applicability of the consensus is relatively good,and the application of the consensus helps to improve the standardization of clinical operations.In the future,efforts should be made to strengthen the promotion and training of the consensus,develop hierarchical promotion strategies according to the characteristics of medical institutions,and improve the quality of evidence for the consensus,so as to further enhance the clinical application effect of the consensus.

Objective:To analyze the value of the modified 5-factor frailty index in assessing postoperative complications and mortality in elderly hip fracture patients.Methods:In this retrospective study, clinical data were collected of hip fracture patients aged 60 years and above surgically treated at Beijing Luhe Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2015 and December 2019.Patients' group assignment was based on whether the modified frailty index score was ≤1 or ≥2, and a post-surgery follow-up was conducted for survival at 30 days, 1 year, 2 years, and 4 years, which was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method.Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting death in elderly patients.Results:A total of 1 208 patients were included, with 890 in the group with the index score ≤1 and 318 in the group with the index score ≥2.There was no difference in mortality at 30 days(1.6% or 14/890 vs.1.9% or 6/318, P=0.707), 1-year(11.3% or 99/874 vs.11.6% or 36/310, P=0.917), 2-years(19.7% or 168/852 vs.24.3% or 73/300, P=0.099)and 4-years(44.0% or 238/541 vs.51.5% or 106/206, P=0.071). The incidence of postoperative complications in the group with the score ≥2 was higher(14.8% or 47/318 vs.9.7% or 86/890, P=0.012), including the incidence of stroke(6.3% or 20/318 vs.1.8% or 16/890, P<0.001)and the incidence of postoperative pneumonia(6.0% or 19/318 vs.3.1% or 28/890, P=0.029), and the differences were statistically significant.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, being female, the Charlson comorbidity index score and low hemoglobin at admission were risk factors for 1-year, 2-year and 4-year mortality post-surgery(all P<0.05), while the modified frailty index score had no correlation with postoperative mortality. Conclusions:A modified frailty index ≥2 is predictive of increased risk of postoperative pneumonia and stroke in patients with hip fractures, but is not correlated with the risk of postoperative mortality.
