Background::Spinal injuries are an urgent public health priority; nevertheless, no China-wide studies of these injuries exist. This study measured the incidence, prevalence, causes, regional distribution, and annual trends of spinal injuries in China from 1990 to 2019.Methods::We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 to estimate the incidence and prevalence of spinal injuries in China. The data of 33 provincial-level administrative regions (excluding Taiwan, China) provided by the National Center for Chronic and Noncommunicable Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were use to systematically analyze the provincial etiology, geographical distribution, and annual trends of spinal injuries. The Bayesian meta-regression tool DisMod-MR 2.1 was used to ensure the consistency among incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates in each case.Results::From 1990 to 2019, the number of living patients with spinal injuries in China increased by 138.32%, from 2.14 million to 5.10 million, while the corresponding age-standardized prevalence increased from 0.20% (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 0.18-0.21%) to 0.27% (95% UI: 0.26-0.29%). The incidence of spinal injuries in China increased by 89.91% (95% UI: 72.39-107.66%), and the prevalence increased by 98.20% (95% UI: 89.56-106.82%), both the most significant increases among the G20 countries; 71.00% of the increase could be explained by age-specific prevalence. In 2019, the incidence was 16.47 (95% UI: 12.08-22.00, per 100,000 population), and the prevalence was 358.30 (95% UI: 333.96-386.62, per 100,000 population). Based on the data of 33 provincial-level administrative regions provided by CDC, age-standardized incidence and prevalence were both highest in developed provinces in Eastern China. The primary causes were falls and road injuries; however, the prevalence and specific causes differed across provinces.Conclusions::In China, the overall disease burden of spinal injuries increased significantly during the past three decades but varied considerably according to geographical location. The primary causes were falls and road injuries; however, the prevalence and specific causes differed across provinces.

【Objective】 To explore the effect of metaphors based on children′s games on the negative emotion and behavior of children during the recovery period of traumatic brain injury, in order to provide reference for making intervention strategy for these children. 【Methods】 From May 2021 to October 2022, a total of 60 children aged 6-12 years who underwent rehabilitation in the rehabilitation center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were selected into this study, and were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 30 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing, while the experimental group was given metaphorical intervention based on children′s games.The scores of social living ability, abnormal behavior detection rate, depression score, anxiety score and cognitive function were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The scale score of the two groups was not significantly different before intervention(P>0.05).After intervention, the infant-junior high school students′ social living ability score, Mini-Mental State Examination and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment score in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (t=3.175, 5.265, 7.835, P<0.001).The scores of Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), the children′s depression inventory and the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (Z=7.823, t=6.398, 6.248, P<0.001). 【Conclusions】 Metaphorical intervention based on children′s games can reduce the negative emotions of anxiety and depression in children with traumatic brain injury, improve their social life ability, reduce the CBCL score, and improve the cognitive function.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which baicalein alleviates osteoarthritis by regulating Sirtuin (Sirt) to inhibit the senescence of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS).Methods:FLS were extracted from synovium of non-osteoarthritis patients (3 patients) and osteoarthritis patients (3 patients), and assessed the senescence of FLS in osteoarthritis patients by Western blot, β-galactosidase staining and immunofluorescence, and examined the changing levels of Sirt family proteins and mRNAs in FLS. The relative expression level of Sirt1 in FLS was knocked down by transfection with Sirt1 siRNA, and the antioxidative capacity and senescence degree of FLS were analyzed. Chondrocytes were co-cultured with FLS and functional changes in chondrocytes were detected by Western blot. After inducing FLS senescence with bleomycin (BLM), different concentrations of baicalein were administered to detect the expression levels of Sirt1, p16, and p21 proteins and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). The expression level of Sirt1 in FLS was knocked down, and BLM and baicalein treatments were applied. The relative expression levels of Sirt1 and ROS were detected using Western blot and ROS assays. After BLM-induced FLS senescence, baicalein and Compound C were added. The relative expression levels of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), p16, p21, and ROS were detected by Western blot and ROS assays.Results:The relative expression of p16 and p21 in FLS in the osteoarthritic group were 3.66±0.38 and 3.55±0.34, which were higher than those in non-osteoarthritis group 1.00±0.07 and 1.00±0.09 ( t=11.860, P<0.001; t=12.520, P<0.001). The relative expression levels of Sirt1 and Sirt6 in FLS in the osteoarthritis group were 0.30±0.04 and 0.16±0.01, which were smaller than those in the non-osteoarthritis group 1.00 ± 0.03 and 1.00±0.04 ( t=23.840, P<0.001; t=34.130, P<0.001). After baicalein treatment, the relative expression of ROS was 2.58±0.28, 1.65±0.14 and 1.00±0.24 in the BLM, BLM+Bai and control groups, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the groups ( F=35.700, P<0.001), which was greater in the BLM and BLM+Bai than in the control group, and lower in the BLM+Bai than in the BLM group ( P<0.05). The relative expression of pAMPK and NRF2 was 0.28±0.02 and 0.38±0.09 after Compound C+Baicalein treatment, which was lower than that of 0.56±0.07 and 0.60±0.08 in the BLM+Bai group ( P<0.05). The relative expression of ROS increased from 1.75±0.16 to 3.45±0.12 ( P<0.001). The proportion of positivity in the BLM+Bai+Compound C, BLM+Bai and control groups was 47.30%±4.29%, 18.18%±3.89% and 7.70%±3.53% ( F=109.700, P<0.001), respectively, with the BLM+Bai+Compound C group being higher than that in the BLM+Bai group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The downregulation of Sirt1 expression in patients with osteoarthritis leads to FLS senescence and accelerates the progression of osteoarthritis. Baicalein can inhibit FLS senescence by activating Sirt1/AMPK/NRF2 pathway, which may delay the progression of osteoarthritis and improve the function of chondrocytes.

Objective:To explore the effects of a dysphagia management plan based on the family empowerment theory led by specialist nurses on the swallowing function, the incidence of aspiration and the caregiver ability of elderly stroke patients with dysphagia.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 102 elderly stroke patients with dysphagia in Department of Neurosurgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group by simple randomization method, with 51 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given regular oral muscle exercise training, oral sensory training, breathing training, and direct feeding guidance based on the swallowing function. In the experimental group, a research team led by rehabilitation specialist nurses was established on the basis of routine guidance. The research team provided targeted swallowing disorder management programs according to the risk level of aspiration combined with empowerment theory. Two weeks after intervention, the swallowing function (Standardized Swallowing Assessment score) , the incidence of aspiration (aspiration pneumonia and irritant cough) and caring ability of caregivers (Chinese version of Caring Ability of Caregivers Scale score) were compared between the two groups.Results:In this study, 5 objects were lost to follow-up, including 2 in the experimental group and 3 in the control group. Finally, 49 patients in the experimental group and 48 patients in the control group completed the study. After 2 weeks of intervention, the swallowing function score of the experimental group was (29.18±4.49) , lower than that of the control group (33.33±4.44) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05) . In the experimental group, there was 1 case of aspiration pneumonia and 8 cases of irritant cough. In the control group, there were 6 cases of aspiration pneumonia and 14 cases of irritant cough. The incidence of aspiration in experimental group was lower than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05) . After intervention, the total score of caring ability of caregivers in the experimental group was (25.02±2.64) , while that in the control group was (34.35±4.41) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:The family empowerment program led by specialist nurses can improve the swallowing function of elderly stroke patients with dysphagia, reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonia and irritating cough and improve the caring ability of caregivers.

Objective:To identify the differentially expressed snoRNAs in the carcinogenesis of cells induced by α-particles radiation and predict the targeted genes and RNA-co-expression networks.Methods:Full transcriptome expression microarray biochips were employed to screen the differentially expressed snoRNAs between human bronchial epithelial BEP2D cell line and its derivative malignantly transformed cell line BERP35T-4 established by α-particle irradiation. The expression changes of snoRNAs and their derived sdRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. The functional domains, targets and co-expression networks of snoRNA were predicted by bioinformatics analysis.Results:Consistent with the result of microarray assay, the expression changes of the screened snoRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. The expressions of sno116 family decreased in BERP35T-4, which was 0.105% ( t=26.60, P<0.01) of BEP2D, and they were generally down-regulated in radiation-induced carcinogenic BERP35T-4 cells and the human lung cancer cell lines A549 and H1299. It was also found that the expression level of the sdRNAs derived from sno116-14 was significantly different in the same cells. It was speculated that these less expressed sdRNAs of sno116-14 could be due to degradation as the consequence of interaction with their targets. The co-expression networks of sno116 family with other types of RNA were established, and the predicted targets of sno116-14 included ZNF280D, TFDP1, CCDC28B, RPS6KA3, CANX, RUNX1 and KALRN, which were related to the functions of cell proliferation and cytoskeletal structure. Conclusions:Some differentially expressed snoRNAs related to α-particle induced carcinogenesis have been identified. It is predicted that the target gene of sno116-14 is involved in the biological processes such as cell proliferation, cytoskeletal structure and the signaling pathways for function regulation, providing new information for the function model of C/D box snoRNAs and the mechanism of radiation carcinogenesis.

Objective To observe the influences of hyperoxia on the migration of human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) and the inhibitory effects of glutathione 2 (Grx2) on excessive migration of HLECs induced by hyperoxia.Methods The HLECs were divided into the hyperoxic model group and normoxic control group.HLECs were cultured in 80％ oxygen mixture for 2 days to establish the oxidative damage model of HLECs induced by hyperoxia in vitro (hyperoxia model group),and cultured in normoxia mixture as the normoxic control group.Cell migration was observed by scratch test,cytoskeleton morphology was observed by phalloidin staining,and Grx2 mRNA level was detected by real-time quantitative PCR.HLECs in the hyperoxic model group and the normoxic control group were subdivided into empty plasmid transfection group and Grx2 plasmid transfection group,respectively.The migration behavior and cytoskeleton changes of hyperoxic model cells in different transfection groups were observed.MitoSOX staining was used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) content of mitochondria under flow cytometry,and JC-1 staining was used to observe the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential under laser-scanning confocal microscopy.Results In the process of cell culture,the cells grew well.Twenty-four hours and 48 hours after scratching,the scratch distance of the hyperoxic model group was smaller than that of the normoxic control group,with significant differences between them (both at P＜0.05).The cell circumference of the hyperoxic model group was increased compared with that of the normoxic group,with a significant difference between them (t =-2.254,P＜0.05).After 2 days culture,the relative expression level of Grx2 mRNA in the hyperoxic model group was 0.54±0.11,which was significantly lower than that in the normoxic control group (t =7.128,P＜0.01).The transfection efficiency of Grx2 was higher than 90％.At 24 hours and 48 hours after scratching,the scratch distance in the Grx2 transfected hyperoxic model group was wider than that in the empty plasmid transfected hyperoxic model group,with significant differences between them (both at P ＜ 0.05).The relative expression level of Grx2 mRNA in Grx2 transfected cells was up-regulated compared with that in empty plasmid transfected cells,with a significant difference between them (P＜0.01).Compared with the normoxic control group,the cell circumference of the hyperoxic model group was decreased,with a significant difference between them (P＜0.05).The relative mean fluorescence intensity of mitochondrial ROS in the Grx2 transfected hyperoxic model group was lower than that in the empty plasmid transfected hyperoxic model group,with a significant difference between them (P＜0.05).Under the hyperoxic condition,the red/green fluorescence intensity of Grx2 transfected group was higher than that of the empty plasmid transfected group,with a significant difference between them (P＜0.01).Conclusions Grx2 may inhibit the excessive migration of HLECs under hyperoxia by regulating oxidative stress in mitochondria.

Objective: To review and compare radiological parameters between degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis (DLKS) and degenerative lumbar kyphosis (DLK), and analyze the relationships between coronal and sagittal deformities and compensatory mechanisms of sagittal balance. Methods: A total of 82 patients with lumbar degenerative deformities were enrolled for our radiographic study at Department of Spinal Surgery, Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2016 to May 2017. These patients were divided into two groups: DLKS group (39 patients) with lumbar coronal and sagittal deformities, and DLK group (43 patients) just with lumbar sagittal deformity. Complete spinopelvic radiographic parameters were compared. Results: The Cobb angle and lumbar lordosis of DLKS group were (23.0±11.8)° and (18.2±12.1)°, while the lumbar lordosis of DLK group was (20.4±10.2)°. In DLKS group, Cobb angle had correlations with lumbar lordosis(r=-0.338, P=0.035), and central sacral vertical line distance had significant correlations with thoracolumbar junctional angle (r=0.488, P=0.002) . Moreover, no significant differences of all sagittal spinopelvic parameters were found between two groups (P>0.05). In DLKS group, significant correlations between lumbar lordosis and sacral slope (r=0.617, P=0.000), and correlations between lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis(r=-0.363, P=0.023) were observed. In DLK group, lumbar lordosis showed significant correlations with thoracic kyphosis(r=-0.341, P=0.025) and sacral slope (r=0.772, P=0.000). According to Nash-Moe grading scale of apical vertebral rotation, 10 patients were with Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade while 29 patients with Ⅲ-Ⅴ grade in DLKS group. Conclusions Both as typical lumbar degenerative deformities, there are some correlations between scoliosis and kyphosis. However, coronal scoliosis may not influent sagittal morphological parameters for DLKS patients. Thoracic curve changes and pelvic backtilt are both important for maintaining the sagittal balance in patients with degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis.
