Objective:To explore any effect of standing balance dynamic lifting training on balance, motor functioning and the life quality of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods:Eighty stroke survivors were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, each of 40. Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, while the experimental group additionally underwent standing balance dynamic lifting training. Before the intervention, and 2 and 4 weeks later, everyone′s balance and motor functioning were evaluated using the Brunel balance assessment (BBA) and the timed " up and go" test (TUGT). Life quality was quantified using the stroke special quality of life scale (SS-QOL).Results:Significant improvement in the average walking function score, BBA total score and TUGT time was observed in both groups, with significantly greater improvement after 4 weeks than after two. The improvements in the experimental group were significantly greater than in the control group. After 4 weeks the average total SS-QOL score and the scores on all of its dimensions had increased significantly in the experimental group. The scores for energy, language, motor function, emotions, self-care ability, upper limb function and the average SS-QOL total score were all then significantly better in the experimental group.Conclusions:Standing balance dynamic lifting training can effectively improve the balance, motor function and life quality of stroke survivors with hemiplegia.

Objective:To analyze the independent risk factors for the occurrence of post-traumatic cognitive dysfunction, construct a prediction model for the risk factors of post-traumatic cognitive dysfunction, and verify the effectiveness of the risk prediction model, so as to provide a clinical tool for early prediction of the risk of post-traumatic cognitive impairment.Methods:Part I: patients with brain trauma (training set with 556 subjects) who were hospitalized in 21 tertiary and secondary hospitals from Tangshan, Cangzhou and Chengde cities of Hebei province were retrospectively collected from February to May 2021 for Montreal cognitive assessment, and 33 influencing factors (general data, symptoms and signs, laboratory and imaging parameters) were obtained obtained through literature research.The patients were divided into case group and control group according to whether they had cognitive impairment or not, and univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen independent risk factors.Part Ⅱ: a binary Logistic regression equation was used to construct a cognitive impairment prediction model, the visualization model of line graph is presented.Part Ⅲ: brain trauma patients (260 subjects of the validation set) hospitalized in the aforementioned 21 hospitals from August to October 2021 were collected as a prospective validation population for the prediction model of cognitive impairment, and the grouping basis of case group and control group was the same as before.And the risk factors between the two groups were compared.The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC), calibration curve and clinical applicability of the model were drawn to evaluate the effectiveness of the model for internal and external verification of the model.Results:Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for post-traumatic cognitive dysfunction were basal ganglia injury, severe injury, amnesia experience after injury, frequent headache after injury, upper limb dysfunction after injury, age ≥ 60 years, and education level of elementary school or below.Visual nomograms showed that the experience of amnesia after injury, frequent headache after injury, upper limb dysfunction, and degree of injury among the symptom factors were the factors that contributed greatly to the risk of traumatic brain injury cognitive impairment in this model.Predictive model discrimination using area under curve(AUC) values of the area under the ROC curve showed that internal validation and external validation were 0.868 and 0.885 for R language analysis and 0.868 and 0.901 for SPSS analysis, respectively.The curve after model calibration almost coincided with the reference line, Hosmer-Lemeshow test P>0.05.The two decision curve analysis (DCA) curves drawn by the clinical applicability of the model were higher than the two extreme curves, predicting that traumatic brain injury patients with cognitive impairment could benefit from the predictive model, and there was a net benefit rate in the range of Pt about 0.1-0.8, when Pt reached about 0.1 until the approximate 1.0 composite evaluation model. Conclusion:Risk factors such as experience of amnesia after injury, frequent headache after injury, upper limb dysfunction, and degree of injury are predicting factors contributed to the risk of cognitive impairment in traumatic brain injury, and their prediction models have good predictive effect, high predictive accuracy and good clinical applicability, which can be applied in clinical diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of cognitive dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury. Methods From March to September, 2021, 556 hospitalized patients with traumatic brain injury were selected from a multicenter study. A 1∶1 sex-matched case-control study design was used. After assessment by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), those with cognitive impairment were as case group and those without cognitive impairment were as control group. They were collected general data and assessed with Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results Logistic regression analysis showed that college education or above (OR = 0.040) and high level of social support (OR = 0.118) were protective factors for cognitive impairment (P < 0.05). Aged 60 to 88 years (OR = 9.996), severe brain injury (OR = 7.345), headache after injury (OR = 2.159), frequent waking at night or multiple dreams ≥ three times per week (OR = 3.705), severe upper limb dysfunction caused by brain injury (OR = 6.072), depression (OR = 5.202) were risk factors for cognitive impairment (P < 0.05). Conclusion The related factors for cognitive impairment in patients with traumatic brain injury include general factors, disease factors, sleep, psychological and social support and other factors. It is suggested that in addition to the treatment of disease, it is necessary to improve sleep, psychology and social support, to reduce the incidence of cognitive impairment and promote the recovery of disease.

Objective:To investigate the expression and prognostic value of glycolytic metabolism related methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in resectable primary liver cancer.Methods:The METTL3 mRNA expression data, clinicopathological data and prognostic information of 364 patients with primary liver cancer and 50 healthy normal liver tissues were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and gene set enrichment analysis was performed. Then the tissue samples of 239 patients with primary liver cancer who underwent radical hepatectomy in Chongqing Armed Police Corps Hospital from January 2016 to may 2019 were selected. Among them, 110 cases contained matched normal liver tissue adjacent to the cancer. The expression of METTL3 protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and log-rank test was used for comparison; Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the risk factors affecting the prognosis in patients with primary liver cancer.Results:TCGA database analysis result showed that the expression level of METTL3 mRNA in liver cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissue: 3.72 (3.19, 4.03) vs. 2.45 (2.11, 2.68), and there was statistical difference ( P = 0.007); Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the median overall survival time and disease-free survival time in patients with high expression of METTL3 mRNA were significantly shorter than those in patients with low expression of METTL3 mRNA (43.0 months vs. 72.0 months and 22.0 months vs. 38.0 months, HR = 1.7 and 1.4, P = 0.002 and 0.024). Gene set enrichment analysis result showed that METTL3 mRNA was related to impaired glucose metabolism. In the clinical sample study, the positive expression rate of METTL3 protein in liver cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissue adjacent to cancer: 54.55% (60/110) vs. 14.55% (16/110), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 38.92, P<0.01). Among 239 patients with primary liver cancer, 132 cases (55.23%) had positive expression of METTL3 protein in liver cancer tissue, and 107 cases had negative expression. Compared with METTL3 protein negative patients, METTL3 protein positive patients had higher body mass index; higher TNM stage, BCLC stage and tissue grade; more lesions; larger tumor sizes; more common satellite nodules; higher leukocyte count, platelet count and neutrophil count, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the median overall survival time and disease-free survival time in patients with METTL3 protein positive were significantly shorter than those in patients with METTL3 negative (18.0 months vs. 38.0 months and 13.0 months vs. 27.0 months, P<0.01). Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis result showed that METTL3 protein positive in liver cancer tissue was an independent risk factor affecting overall survival time and disease-free survival time ( HR = 1.840 and 2.096, 95% CI 1.298 to 2.608 and 1.469 to 2.991, P<0.01). Conclusions:METTL3 is involved in glycolytic metabolism of primary liver cancer, and can be used as a promising biomarker to evaluate the prognosis of patients with primary liver cancer.
