ObjectiveTo analyze the long-term trend of incidence and mortality of type 2 diabetic kidney disease （DKD） in China from 1990 to 2021. MethodsThe Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the average annual percentage change （AAPC） of standardized incidence rate and standardized mortality rate， and the age-period-cohort （APC） model was constructed to analyze the longitudinal age change， period and cohort effect risk ratio （RR）. ResultsFrom 1990 to 2021， the standardized incidence rate of type 2 DKD in males and females showed an overall upward trend， with AAPC of 0.08% and 0.36%， respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate of the total population and female showed a downward trend， with AAPC of -0.61% and -1.03%， respectively. However， there was no significant difference in males. APC model showed that the age effect existed： the peak age was 75-79 years old， the mortality rate of females increased， and the mortality rate of males decreased after 80-84 years old. For the effect of time period， the risk of type 2 DKD incidence in females in 2017—2021 was 1.05 times that in 2002—2006， and the risk of death in males and females in 2017—2021 was 0.84 and 0.71 times that in 2002—2006， respectively. For cohort effects， the highest risk of disease was seen in men and women born in 1967—1971， and the highest risk of death was seen in men born in 1952—1956 and women born in 1912—1916. ConclusionFrom 1990 to 2021， the standardized incidence rate of type 2 DKD in China shows an upward trend， and the standardized mortality rate shows a downward trend. It is necessary to strengthen the health behavior publicity and education of type 2 DKD， and actively carry out early screening to reduce the disease burden.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of Euonymus alatus for diabetic kidney disease(DKD).Methods TCMSP,PubChem and Swiss Target Prediction databases were used to obtain the active ingredients in Euonymus alatus and their targets.GEO database and R language were used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in DKD.The therapeutic targets of DKD were obtained using GeneCards,DisGeNet,OMIM and TTD databases.The protein-protein interaction network and the"drug-component-target-disease"network were constructed for analyzing the topological properties of the core targets,which were functionally annotated using GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses.Molecular docking was performed for the core targets and the main pharmacologically active components,and the results were verified in db/db mice.Results Analysis of GSE96804,GSE30528 and GSE30529 datasets(including 60 DKD patients and 45 normal samples)identified 111 differentially expressed genes in DKD.Network pharmacology analysis obtained 161 intersecting genes between the target genes of Euonymus alatus and DKD,including the key core target genes SRC,EGFR,and AKT1.The core active ingredients of Euonymus alatus were quercetin,kaempferol,diosmetin,and naringenin,which were associated with responses to xenobiotic stimulionus and protein phosphorylation and regulated EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance pathways.Molecular docking suggested good binding activities of the core active components of Euonymus alatus with the core targets.In db/db mouse models of DKD,treatment with Euonymus alatus obviously ameliorated kidney pathologies,significantly inhibited renal expressions of SRC,EGFR and AKT1,and delayed the progression of DKD.Conclusion Euonymus alatus contains multiple active ingredients such as quercetin,kakaferol,diosmetin,naringenin,which regulate the expressions of SRC,EGFR,and AKT1 to affect the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance signaling pathway to delay the progression of DKD.

Objective To compare the clinical outcome between vertebra fracture fixation plus injectable calcium sulfate vertebroplasty and simple vertebra fracture fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture.Methods A total of 61 patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture treated from January 2005 to December 2008 were involved and divided into two groups,ie,Group A ( treated with three-level fixation at fractured vertebra and injectable calcium sulfate vertebroplasty) and Group B ( treated with three-level fixation at fractured vertebra alone).Group A had 22 males and 10 females,at mean age of 36.8 years (21-65 years).The mean follow-up period was 15.6 months (13-27 months).Group B had 18 males and 11 females,at mean age of 38.3 years (19-70 years).The mean follow-up period was 14.7 months (12-28 months).The ratio of anterior vertebral height,Cobb angle,VAS score were compared between the two groups.Results There were no statistical differences in the aspects of age,sex,fracture segments and preoperative neurological status distribution in the two groups( P ＞0.05 ).All patients with partial neurologic deficits initially improved for 1-2 grade at the final follow-up.Blood loss and operation time in Group A were less than that in Group B (P ＜0.05 ).The ratio of anterior vertebral height and the Cobb angle showed no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05 ),but the ratio of anterior vertebral height and the Cobb angle in Group A was less than those in Group B at the latest follow-up (P ＜0.05 ).The VAS score showed no statistical significance between the two groups at the latest followup (P ＞ 0.05 ).There was one patient with screw breakage in Group B,while there was no implant failure in Group A.Conclusion The vertebra fracture fixation plus calcium sulfate cement vertebroplasty is a safe and effective method for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture as it can restore the vertebral mechanical strength,achieve and maintain kyphosis correction,decrease the instrument failure rate and loss of vertebral height.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and outcome of transpedicular screw fixation in fracture reduction and maintenance of reduction for thoracolumbar fractures.Methods The clinical data of 43 patients with thoracolumbar fractures admitted to Orthopedic Trauma Hospital of Qingdao from January 2003 to December 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.The inclusion criteria were as follow;sin-gle vertebral fracture involving T_(12)-L_2, integrated pedicle and no inferior endplate fracture.All patients received operation within 10 days after injury.Three-level fixation at fractured vertebra plus pedicle screw fixation was performed in 23 patients (Group A) including 15 males and 8 females, at mean age of 45 years (19-77 years).Traditional two-level fixation was done on the other 20 patients (Group B) inclu-ding 11 males and 9 females, at mean age of 42 years (22-67 years).In Group A, the transpedicular screws fixing the fractured vertebra and cephal vertebra were distracted after locking the transpedicular screw of the fracture vertebra and caudal vertebra.Results The height of the anterior edge of the cau-dal disc in Group B was 0.035 ±0.042, greater than 0.061 ±.036 in Group A, with statistical differ-ence (P < 0.05).There was no statistical difference in the changes of Cobb angle after the operation be-tween (915.8 ±7.8)°in Group A and (13.1±5.2)°in Group B.34 patients were followed up for an average period of 15 months (11-24 months) , which showed smaller Cobb angle in Group A (5.4°compared with Group B (8.9°)(P <0.05).There was one patient with screw breakage in Group A and two in Group B.Conclusion Transpedicular screws can enhance the stability of the posterior short-segment instrumentation, avoid over-distraction of the caudal discs, improve stress distribution and lessen loss of correction for some thoracolumbar fractures.
