Objective: To identify biomolecular markers closely related to the occurrence of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and verify their expression levels in clinical samples. Methods: Stage Ⅰ KIRC mRNA sequencing data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for dimensionality reduction to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs),which then underwent GO and KEGG analyses.Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to screen genes significantly related to KIRC,and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to screen hub genes.The diagnostic value of hub genes was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,and their prognostic value was analyzed using survival curve plots.The correlation between the mRNA expressions of hub genes and the pathological stages of KIRC was analyzed.Clinical samples of 20 patients with stage Ⅰ KIRC treated in our hospital were included,and the expressions of the hub genes in cancerous and adjacent tissues were detected with reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR),Western blotting,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: A total of 8223 DEGs were screened out,including 4092 up-regulated ones and 4131 down-regulated ones.GO analysis showed that DEGs were related to bioadhesion,plasma membrane composition,and transporter activity.KEGG analysis showed that DEGs were related to pathways such as cell adhesion molecules,cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions,and interactions between viral proteins and cytokines and cytokine receptors.WGCNA analysis obtained 171 genes that were significantly related to stage Ⅰ KIRC.The hub gene,lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2 (LCP2),screened out by the PPI network,was significantly related to stage Ⅰ KIRC.The area under the ROC curve was 0.96.The expression level was negatively correlated with the overall survival rate of patients.The expression of LCP2 was related to the stage and lymph node metastasis.Clinical verification showed that the mRNA and protein relative expressions of LCP2 in KIRC tissues were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues (P<0.000 1). Conclusion: LCP2 is significantly up-regulated in stage Ⅰ KIRC tissues and can be used as a potential biomarker for the early diagnosis and treatment of KIRC.

Compulsive behavior is a trans-diagnostic symptom.However, researchers' understanding of compulsive behavior is still argumentative.Most conventional understanding of compulsive behavior is that this symptom may be related to abnormalities in the brain goal-direct and habitual learning systems.Nevertheless, majority of studies only explore the role of goal-direct system in compulsive behavior, and they pay less attention to how the habit system affects compulsive behavior.However, individuals with compulsive behaviors will show more habitual behaviors and their abnormal brain neural circuits overlap with the brain neural structures activated by habits.Besides, starting from habit system can also explain some genetic risk factors of compulsive behavior.On top of this, habit hypothesis can bring new insights in understanding compulsive behavior from a pharmacological aspect.Therefore, in this review, the evidences from behavioral, neurobiological, genetic and pharmacological aspects were combined to explore the new insights brought by the habit hypothesis in understanding compulsive behavior, and propose the urgent problems need to be solved in current compulsive behavior habit studies.

ObjectiveTo compare the functional connectivity of brain networks in stroke patients with upper limb motor dysfunction during unilateral or bilateral upper limb movement using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). MethodsFrom April to June, 2021, 40 stroke patients with upper limb motor dysfunction in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Huashan Hospital, finished unilateral (affected) and bilateral upper limb movement. Eight-minute fNIRS data were collected before and after movement, and the functional activities and connectivity of prefrontal cortex (PFC), upper limb and hand functional area (H), primary sensory cortex (S1) were analyzed based on oxygenated hemoglobin. ResultsFunctional activities increased in affected H after unilateral task (t = -3.135, P < 0.05), while the functional connectivity increased between affected H and affected S1, affected H and unaffected S1, and affected S1 and unaffected S1 (|t| > 3.218, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the functional activities and connectivity of all the areas after bilateral upper limb task (|t| < 2.385, P > 0.05). The improvement of affected H was more after unilateral task than after bilateral upper limb task (t = 2.026, P < 0.05). ConclusionUnilateral affected upper limb training is more effective on functional activities and connectivity for corresponding brain regions than bilateral task.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common systemic bone disease which has become a serious public health problem in China. In clinical practice, we found that some primary osteoporosis may be due to parathyroid hyperfunction (subclinical hyperparathyroidism) or hyperparathyroidism which is the result of negative calcium balance and hypocalcemia caused by insufficient calcium intake and/or vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency, which is preventable and controllable. Therefore, we call this kind of osteoporosis parathyroid hyperfunction or hyperparathyroidism associated osteoporosis. The daily calcium intake of Chinese people is generally insufficient, and vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is also a worldwide public health problem. Parathyroid hyperfunction or hyperparathyroidism associated osteopenia and osteoporosis which are results of hypocalcemia and negative calcium balance caused by long-term insufficient calcium intake and/or vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency exist extensively in clinical practice. Its prevention and treatment can effectively prevent and treat osteopenia and osteoporosis, so as to effectively prevent and treat diseases such as short stature, rachiokyphosis, backache, fatigue, bone pain, fracture, metastatic vascular calcification and systemic calcinosis, improve people’s health and help achieve the goal of "Healthy China 2030" .

Objective To make classification and segment measurement for the cases with tibiofibular and ankle fractures in parachuting landing, and investigate main classification types of parachuting fractures and fracture segments of high risk.Methods A total of 56 fracture cases in parachuting landing were collected, and the tibiofibula and ankle fractures were classified according to AO-OTA or Lauge-Hansen classification standards respectively based on their digital X-ray images. The medium plane between talus and tibia joint planes in ankle joint was defined as the reference plane. The highest and lowest injury points of tibia and fibula were marked respectively, and the fracture segment was defined between the highest and lowest point for statistical analysis.Results For tibiofibular and ankle fracture cases in parachuting landing, fracture at both tibia and fibula accounted for 80.4%. The major classification of tibiofibula fracture was 42-D/5.2 (45.8%) and 42-D/5.1 (16.7%). The major classification for ankle fracture was pronation-external rotation (PER, 59.4%) and supination-external rotation (SER, 37.5%). When tibiofibular and ankle fracture cases in parachuting landing occurred, the fracture segment of the tibia was mainly from 57 to 143 mm above the reference plane and from 6 mm below the reference plane to 24 mm above the reference plane, while the fracture segment of the fibula was 4-45 mm and 74-83 mm above the reference plane. Injury risks of all above segments were higher than 50%.Conclusions For protection of lower limbs in parachuting landing, the fracture at both tibia and fibula should be highly noticed. The ankle motion of PER and SER should be especially restricted in parachuting ankle protection.
