Objective To analyze the disease burden and trends of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992 to 2021.  Methods Using the GBD 2021 database, the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992–2021 were analyzed. Average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated using Joinpoint regression. Subgroup analyses by sex and age were conducted, and a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict trends in age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for the next 15 years.  Results In 2021, China reported 106 000 new cases (ASIR: 5.14/100 000), 571 000 prevalent cases (age-standardized prevalence rate, ASPR: 26.61/100 000), 43 000 deaths (ASMR: 2.34/100 000), and a DALY rate of 45.31/100 000. From 1992–2021, China showed upward trends in ASIR and ASPR but declines in ASMR and DALYs, while global ASIR, ASMR, and DALYs decreased overall with slow ASPR growth. The peak cases in China and globally were both concentrated in the 65-79 age group, with a significantly higher burden on males than females. In China, smoking-related ASMR and ASDR exceeded global averages and rose, whereas high glucose-related indexes were lower and declined. Projections for 2021–2036 indicated that the global incidence and mortality rates would be rising, but ASIR/ASPR would be declining, while in China, the incidence rate would continue to rise, and the mortality rate will stabilize, with a significant increase in ASIR and a gradual decrease in ASPR.  Conclusion From 1992 to 2021, the incidence of bladder cancer in China has shown a continuous upward trend and is projected to persist in the future, with significant gender and age differences. Particular attention should be given to elderly males aged 85-89. The disease burden of bladder cancer attributable to smoking continues to rise, highlighting the urgent need to strengthen tobacco control policies.

Objective:To explore and model risk factors in patients with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), and to develop and validate a personalized machine learning model to assess risk factors and predict MACEs in these patients.Methods:Clinical data of patients who attended Beijing Anzhen Hospital and underwent surgical treatment for ATAAD from January 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Using MACEs as the endpoint, 70% of these patients were randomly divided into the training set and the remaining 30% into the validation set. LASSO regression was applied to explore key clinical variables in the training set. The optimal predictive model was selected from nine machine learning algorithms based on area under the curve. And Shapley Additive explanations was used to elucidate the predictive model. Results:Of the 481 patients included in this study, 135 (35.6%) patients experienced an endpoint event. By combining the results of the training and validation sets, when assessing the validity of the single model with the highest predictive accuracy for the outcome, it was shown that the logistic model (0.774, 95% CI: 0.717-0.830) was the most effective in the combined effect and had a high model accuracy (0.743, 95% CI: 0.720-0.766). According to the results of the LASSO, the factors most associated with postoperative MACEs were history of cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery involvement, shock status on admission to the operating room, FDP, PLT, CPB, ascending aortic clamping, and age. Conclusion:In this study, nine machine learning models were developed to predict the occurrence of postoperative MACEs in patients with acute type A aortic dissection. The logistic model performed significantly better compared to other algorithms. Our study successfully predicted postoperative MACES and identified the factors most associated with MACEs.

Objective To establish a highly sensitive and specific method for detecting human DNA based on real time quantitative PCR(qPCR)technique for the rapid detection of potential DNA con-tamination sources in DNA laboratories.Methods Primers and probes were designed with Primer Ex-pressTM software using the reference sequence of human 18S rRNA gene as a template,and the opti-mal prime-probe combination was screened by matrix method.The PCR products of the target se-quence of human 18S rRNA gene were used to construct the plasmid,and a plasmid standard was used to draw the standard curve of the qPCR system.According to the Minimum Information for Pub-lication of Quantitative Real-time PCR Experiments(MIQE)guidelines,the specificity,sensitivity,re-peatability and application effect of the qPCR system were evaluated.Results The sensitivity of the qPCR system established in this study was 5.3×10-5 ng/μL,which showed good specificity for human DNA samples.The correlation coefficient of the qPCR system was-0.999,and amplification efficiency was 100％.Both the intra-batch and inter-batch variation coefficients were less than 2％.Conclusion The established human DNA detection method based on qPCR technique has good specificity,high sen-sitivity,and robust stability.It can be used for rapid detection of DNA contamination and daily moni-toring of the accumulated human DNA in the laboratory environment.

Objective:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of ionizing radiation on the adipogenic of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods:Mouse MSCs were cultured in vitro and treated with 2 Gy and 6 Gy radiation with 60Co,and the radiation dose rate was 0.98 Gy/min.Bulk RNA-seq was performed on control and irradiated MSCs.The changes of adipogenic differentiation and oxidative stress pathways of MSC were revealed by bioinformatics analysis.Oil Red O staining was used to detect the adipogenic differentiation ability of MSCs in vitro,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to detect the expression differences of key regulatory factors Cebpa,Lpl and Pparg after radiation treatment.At the same time,qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the effect of inhibition of Nrf2,a key factor of antioxidant stress pathway,on the expression of key regulatory factors of adipogenesis.Moreover,the species conservation of the irradiation response of human bone marrow MSCs and mouse MSC was determined by qPCR.Results:Bulk RNA-seq suggested that ionizing radiation promotes adipogenic differentiation of MSCs and up-regulation of oxidative stress-related genes and pathways.The results of Oil Red O staining and qPCR showed that ionizing radiation promoted the adipogenesis of MSCs,with high expression of Cebpa,Lpl and Pparg,as well as oxidative stress-related gene Nrf2.Nrf2 pathway inhibitors could further enhance the adipogenesis of MSCs in bone marrow after radiation.Notably,the similar regulation of oxidative pathways and enhanced adipogenesis post irradiation were observed in human bone marrow MSCs.In addition,irradiation exposure led to up-regulated mRNA expression of interleukin-6 and down-regulated mRNA expression of colony stimulating factor 2 in human bone marrow MSCs.Conclusion:Ionizing radiation promotes adipogenesis of MSCs in mice,and oxidative stress pathway participates in this effect,blocking Nrf2 further promotes the adipogenesis of MSCs.Additionally,irradiation activates oxidative pathways and promotes adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow MSCs.

Objective:To establish an in vitro cell model simulating acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD)bone marrow microenvironment injury with the advantage of mouse serum of aGVHD model and explore the effect of serum of aGVHD mouse on the adipogenic differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods:The 6-8-week-old C57BL/6N female mice and BALB/c female mice were used as the donor and recipient mice of the aGVHD model,respectively.Bone marrow transplantation(BMT)mouse model(n=20)was established by being injected with bone marrow cells(1 × 10'per mouse)from donor mice within 4-6 hours after receiving a lethal dose(8.0 Gy,72.76 cGy/min)of y ray general irradiation.A mouse model of aGVHD(n=20)was established by infusing a total of 0.4 ml of a mixture of donor mouse-derived bone marrow cells(1 × 107 per mouse)and spleen lymphocytes(2 × 106 per mouse).The blood was removed from the eyeballs and the mouse serum was aspirated on the 7th day after modeling.Bone marrow-derived MSCs were isolated from 1-week-old C57BL/6N male mice and incubated with 2％,5％and 10％BMT mouse serum and aGVHD mouse serum in the medium,respectively.The effect of serum in the two groups on the in vitro adipogenic differentiation ability of mouse MSCs was detected by Oil Red O staining.The expression levels of related proteins PPARy and CEBPα were detected by Western blot.The expression differences of key adipogenic transcription factors including PPARy,CEBPα,FABP4 and LPL were determined by real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Results:An in vitro cell model simulating the damage of bone marrow microenvironment in mice with aGVHD was successfully established.Oil Red O staining showed that the number of orange-red fatty droplets was significantly reduced and the adipogenic differentiation ability of MSC was impaired at aGVHD serum concentration of 10％compared with BMT serum.Western blot experiments showed that adipogenesis-related proteins PPARy and CEBPα expressed in MSCs were down-regulated.Further RT-qPCR assay showed that the production of PPARy,CEBPα,FABP4 and LPL,the key transcription factors for adipogenic differentiation of MSC,were significantly reduced.Conclusion:The adipogenic differentiation capacity of MSCs is inhibited by aGVHD mouse serum.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

This research aims to construct a stable epithelial cell senescence model for screening and e-valuation of senolytics.We explored the optimal conditions for doxorubicin-induced senescence of non-transformed epithelial cells MCF 10A,including the optimal induction concentration,the optimal inter-vention time,and the optimal senescence duration,and confirmed the feasibility of MCF 10A as an epi-thelial senescence model by multiple ways.The optimal condition for Doxorubicin-induced senescence of MCF 10A cells was treatment with 0.6 μmol/L Doxorubicin for 16 h to achieve the best senescence state on the 8th day.Under the optimal induction conditions,the positive rate of senescence-associated β-gal-actosidase(SA-β-gal)staining in the treated group reached 97％.At the same time,biochemical results of detecting the expression of mRNA,proteins,and immunofluorescence demonstrated that the expression levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),p16,p21 and p53 in the treated group were significantly higher than those in the control cells,and Lamin B1 was significantly decreased(P＜0.001),which were consistent with the specific characteristics of senescence.In summary,an epithelial senescence model was successfully induced in MCF 10A cells by Doxorubicin in this study,which will promote the screening of senolytics for senescent epithelial cells.

ObjectiveUlcerative colitis is a prevalent immunoinflammatory disease. Th17/Treg cell imbalance and gut microbiota dysregulation are key factors in ulcerative colitis pathogenesis. The actin cytoskeleton contributes to regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of Th17 and Treg cells. Wdr63, a gene containing the WD repeat domain, participates in the structure and functional modulation of actin cytoskeleton. Recent research indicates that WDR63 may serve as a regulator of cell migration and metastasis via actin polymerization inhibition. This article aims to explore the effect of Wdr63 deletion on Th17/Treg cells and ulcerative colitis. MethodsWe constructed Wdr63^-/- mice, induced colitis in mice using dextran sulfate sodium salt, collected colon tissue for histopathological staining, collected mesenteric lymph nodes for flow cytometry analysis, and collected healthy mouse feces for microbial diversity detection. ResultsCompared with wild-type colitis mice, Wdr63^-/- colitis mice had a more pronounced shortening of colonic tissue, higher scores on disease activity index and histological damage index, Treg cells decreased and Th17 cells increased in colonic tissue and mesenteric lymph nodes, a lower level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and a higher level of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17A. In addition, WDR63 has shown positive effects on maintaining intestinal microbiota homeostasis. It maintains the balance of Bacteroidota and Firmicutes, promoting the formation of beneficial intestinal bacteria linked to immune inflammation. ConclusionWdr63 deletion aggravates ulcerative colitis in mice, WDR63 inhibits colonic inflammation likely by regulating Th17/Treg balance and maintains intestinal microbiota homeostasis.
