PURPOSE: This study aims to identify the prevalence and risk factors of military training-related abdominal injuries and help plan and conduct training properly. METHODS: This questionnaire survey study was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 among military personnel from 6 military units and 8 military medical centers and participants' medical records were consulted to identify the training-related abdominal injuries. All the military personnel who ever participated in military training were included. Those who refused to participate in this study or provided an incomplete questionnaire were excluded. The questionnaire collected demographic information, type of abdominal injury, frequency, training subjects, triggers, treatment, and training disturbance. Chi-square test and t-test were used to compare baseline information. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to explore the risk factors associated with military training-related abdominal injuries. RESULTS: A total of 3058 participants were involved in this study, among which 1797 (58.8%) had suffered training-related abdominal injuries (the mean age was 24.3 years and the service time was 5.6 years), while 1261 (41.2%) had no training-related abdominal injuries (the mean age was 23.1 years and the service time was 4.3 years). There were 546 injured patients (30.4%) suspended the training and 84 (4.6%) needed to be referred to higher-level hospitals. The most common triggers included inadequate warm-up, fatigue, and intense training. The training subjects with the most abdominal injuries were long-distance running (589, 32.8%). Civil servants had the highest rate of abdominal trauma (17.1%). Age ≥ 25 years, military service ≥ 3 years, poor sleep status, and previous abdominal history were independent risk factors for training-related abdominal injury. CONCLUSION More than half of the military personnel have suffered military training-related abdominal injuries. Inadequate warm-up, fatigue, and high training intensity are the most common inducing factors. Scientific and proper training should be conducted according to the factors causing abdominal injuries.

Objective To investigate the expression of prolyl 4-hydroxylase β-polypeptide(P4HB)in glioblastoma multiforme(GBM)and its impact on clinical prognosis,as well as on the proliferation and migration of U87 cells.Methods(1)According to the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,GTEx database and GEPIA2 database,the difference expression of P4HB in GBM and normal brain tissues were analyzed by R software.(2)A total of 52 patients with GBM who underwent surgical treatment from February 2017 to December 2019 were collected from Department of Neurosurgery,the Second People's Hospital of Guiyang.The normal brain tissues of 10 patients were selected as controls.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of P4HB in tumor tissues and normal tissues.The Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test was employed for survival analysis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive valuable of P4HB expression in survival rate of GBM.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to identify the expression of P4HB and related clinicopathological factors affecting the survival and prognosis of the patients.(3)Human GBM U87 cells were randomly assigned into three groups:control group,NC-siRNA group and P4HB-siRNA group.P4HB expression was interfered with by the transfection of siRNA in P4HB-siRNA group.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the content of P4HB mRNA in U87 cells.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)and immunofluorescence assay were used to analyze the effects of P4HB on the proliferation of U87 cells.Scratch test was used to analyze the effects of P4HB on cell migration.Results The expression of P4HB was significantly upregulated in GBM tissues compared with normal brain tissues(P<0.05).The γδ T cells(r=-0.227)and follicular helper T cells(r=-0.226)were negatively correlated with the expression of P4HB,while natural killer cell(r=0.417),macrophages(r=0.374),neutrophils(r=0.344),and immature dendritic cells(r=0.263)were positively correlated with the expression of P4HB.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the progression-free survival and disease-specific survival of GBM patients with high P4HB expression were significantly lower than those with low expression(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of P4HB in predicting overall survival rate of GBM patients was 0.982,and 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival was 0.655,0.724,0.861,respectively.The immunohistochemistry results suggested that P4HB protein was significantly highly expressed in GBM tumors.Survival analysis indicated that high expression of P4HB was associated with bad prognosis in GBM patients(P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that high expression of P4HB and TERT promoter mutations were the independent prognostic risk factors for GBM(P<0.05).Compared with control group and NC-siRNA group,the expression levels of P4HB were decreased significantly after transfected with siRNA in U87 cells of P4HB-siRNA group(P<0.01),and the proliferation ability and the wound healing rate were decreased significantly in P4HB-siRNA group(P<0.001).Conclusions P4HB is significantly highly expressed in GBM,which indicates that the prognosis of patients is poor.Knockout of P4HB could inhibit cellular proliferation and migration of GBM U87 cells.P4HB may be used as the relevant predictive marker and potential therapeutic target in GBM.

Objective: To investigate hypertriglyceridemia and hepatomegaly caused by Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus (FSS) and Schisandra chinensis Fructus (FSC) oils in mice. Methods: Mice were orally administered a single dose of Schisandrae Fructus oils. Serum and hepatic triglyceride (TG), triglyceride transfer protein (TTP), apolipoprotein B48 (Apo B48), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), alanine aminotransfease (ALT) and liver index were measured at 6-120 h post-dosing. Results: FSS and FSC oil caused time and dose-dependent increases in serum and hepatic TG levels, with maximum increases in the liver (by 297% and 340%) at 12 h post-dosing and serum (244% and 439%) at 24-h post-dosing, respectively. Schisandrae Fructus oil treatments also elevated the levels of serum TTP by 51% and 63%, Apo B48 by 152% and 425%, and VLDL by 67% and 38% in mice, respectively. FSS and FSC oil treatments also increased liver mass by 53% and 55% and HGF by 106% and 174%, but lowered serum ALT activity by 38% and 22%, respectively. Fenofibrate pre/ co-treatment attenuated the FSS and FSC oil-induced elevation in serum TG levels by 41% and 49% at 48 h post-dosing, respectively, but increased hepatic TG contents (by 38% and 33%, respectively) at 12 h post-dosing. Conclusions: Our findings provide evidence to support the establishment of a novel mouse model of hypertriglyceridemia by oral administration of FSS oil (mainly increasing endogenous TG) and FSC oil (mainly elevating exogenous TG).

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of pertussis vaccination on the clinical manifestations of infants and young children with pertussis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed to investigate the differences in clinical manifestations and peripheral blood cell levels between pertussis children with different pertussis vaccination status. RESULTS: A total of 1 083 children with pertussisat at age of < 3 years were enrolled, with 551 children in the unvaccinated group and 532 in the vaccinated group. Of all the children, 392 had an age of onset of < 3 months (372 were unvaccinated and 20 were vaccinated) and 691 children had an age of onset of ≥ 3 months (179 were unvaccinated and 512 were vaccinated). Compared with the vaccinated group, the unvaccinated group had a longer length of hospital stay and a higher incidence rate of respiratory failure ( CONCLUSIONS Pertussis vaccination can reduce the incidence of severe pneumonia and respiratory failure and alleviate the severity of respiratory complications in infants and young children with pertussis.

Objective To study the characteristics of a new neuron-specific marker in the cerebral cortex and its application method.Methods According to immunofluorescence principles,the neurons in the cerebral cortex cultured in vitro were stained by fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled Tet1; and FITC-Tet1 with NSE or GFAP was employed to determine whether the neurons can be marked and whether they can be distinguished from astrocytes; the conditions of application of FITC-Tet1 were quantified.The HEK and C6 cell lines were performed the above experiments as controls.Results The final concentration was the key factor,which indicated that when the FITC-Tet1 was about 30 μg/mL,the neuron marking ability was the best,and the astrocytes,HEK and C6 were not stained.Neither high (100μg/mL) or low (10μg/mL) levels of FITC-Tet1 were suitableforstainingneurons.Conclusion Tet1 can specifically combine with the neuron in the cerebral cortex,which may make it to be a new staining method or a targeting molecule to neurons in the central nervous system.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of postoperative adjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with residual tumor.

METHODSThe patients were classified into intervention group (with adjuvant TACE) and control group (without adjuvant TACE) who were further stratified to those with high risk (patients with single tumor > 5 cm in diameter, or with multiple tumors, invasion to blood vessels), and low risk factors. Univariate analysis and Cox model were used to analyse prognostic factors.

RESULTSIn low risk patients with residual tumor, the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-year survival rate was 97.2%, 78.0%, 66.5% and 66.5% in the intervention group, and 91.2%, 81.4%, 70.3% and 54.4% in the control group, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in survival (log-rank P = 0.7667). Comparing with the control group, the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-year survival rate was 89.5%, 73.4%, 59.2% and 53.8% in the intervention group, and 70.5%, 61.9%, 46.8% and 46.8% in the control group, respectively. Postoperative adjuvant TACE significantly prolonged the survival in high risk patients with residual tumor (P = 0.0029). Cox model revealed that the benefit of adjuvant TACE was significantly increased by the high risk factors in HCC patients with residual tumor.

CONCLUSIONThe beneficial effect of postoperative TACE was only observed in high risk patients with residual tumor but not in the low risk patients with residual tumor.
