Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of falls in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy for gynecological cancer, and establish a Nomogram model based on independent influencing factors.Methods:A total of 216 patients with peripheral neuropathy who received chemotherapy for gynecological cancer in The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University of the People′s Liberation Army from February 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively selected, and were divided into the modeling set and the validation set according to the ratio of 7∶3 using random number table method. According to the occurrence of falls in the modeling set, the patients were divided into the fall group and the non-fall group. Independent influencing factors were obtained through univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and a prediction model was constructed based on the regression analysis. A Nomogram map was drawn using R language software. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calibration curve were used to test the prediction efficiency, and the predictive benefits were evaluated by clinical decision curve.Results:Among the 216 patients, 151 were included in the modeling set and 65 in the validation set. Among the patients in the modeling set, 53 cases were in the fall group, aged (62.89 ± 8.58) years old, and 98 cases were in the non-fall group, aged (59.48 ± 8.12) years old. Chemotherapy cycle, Neuropathy Impairment Score-Lower Limbs, Barthel index, Home Falls and Accidents Screening Tool, regular exercise habits, diabetes and depression were all independent influencing factors for falls in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy of gynecologic cancer ( OR values were 0.312-3.727, all P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the established Nomogram model was 0.873, with good discriminating ability. The mean absolute error (MAE) of calibration curve was 0.048, which fitted the ideal curve, indicating that the model has good calibration performance. The AUC of the validation set was 0.873 and the MAE of calibration curve was 0.073, indicating that the model has good external prediction efficiency. Conclusions:This Nomogram model can predict falls in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy of gynecological cancer and provide evidence for clinical prevention of falls.

Objective:To examine the burden and trends of acute viral hepatitis in Guangdong Province from 1990 to 2019, and provide reference evidences for hepatitis prevention and control in the province.Methods:Data on acute viral hepatitis (hepatitis A, B, C, and E) in Guangdong from 1990 to 2019 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database. The incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) data were analyzed by age and gender, and the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to describe the changing trends in disease burden.Results:From 1999 to 2019, the standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALY of acute viral hepatitis in Guangdong were higher than the national averages. In 2019, 51.43% (2 245 087/4 365 221) of acute viral hepatitis cases in Guangdong Province were mainly attributed to hepatitis B, and 77.18% (106/138) of deaths were due to acute hepatitis B. In different age groups, except for acute hepatitis B, which was more common in adults, the incidence rates of other types of viral hepatitis such as hepatitis A, B, and E showed an overall decreasing trend with age. The mortality rates of different types of acute viral hepatitis, except for the <5 age group, increased with age. The overall incidence and mortality rates of acute viral hepatitis were higher in men than in women.Conclusions:The overall burden of acute viral hepatitis in Guangdong declined in 2019, but remained higher than the national level. Further efforts are needed to strengthen hepatitis prevention and screening in different population in Guangdong Province, especially in children and the elderly.

Objective:To compare the immunogenicity of the prefusion (PreF) and postfusion (PostF) conformations of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein.Methods:The expression of PreF and PostF recombinant proteins was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The binding affinity between F protein and its specific antibodies was detected by Octet. The binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies in immune serum were detected after immunizing mice with PreF or PostF recombinant protein.Results:PreF protein was stable in the form of a trimer after modification with higher binding affinity with monoclonal antibodies such as D25, 8897, AM14, Palivizumab and Motavizumab. PostF protein lacked the antigenic site ? and showed a monomer conformation. Besides, it was unable to bind to D25, 8897 and AM14 antibodies. Animal experiments showed that AS01 adjuvant was better than aluminum adjuvant in inducing binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against RSV Long strains. The binding antibodies induced by PreF and PostF recombinant proteins had similar binding ability to PreF protein, while the binding antibodies induced by PostF recombinant protein showed stronger binding ability to PostF than to PreF.Conclusions:PreF has more epitopes and the trimer form of PreF recombinant protein after modification is more stable and can induce stronger neutralizing antibodies. Moreover, the immunopotentiating effect of AS01 adjuvant is better than that of aluminum adjuvant. Therefore, stabilization-based trimer structure modification of PreF and the development of adjuvants are crucial for the development of RSV vaccines.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of electromyography (EMG) and postural stability of lower limb muscles during Y-balance test (YBT) and their relationship. MethodsFrom October to November, 2021, a total of 26 female students aged 18 to 22 years were recruited from Binzhou Medical University to complete YBT; while the EMG of rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius of supporting legs were collected synchronously to measure root mean square (RMS), integral electromyography (iEMG), and muscle contribution rate; and the postural stabilities were measured with three-dimensional force platform, to record total, antero-posterior (A/P) and medio-lateral (M/L) path length of center of pressure (COP). ResultsIn three directions of YBT, the RMS of rectus femoris was the most (χ2 > 56.952, P < 0.001), and the iEMG and contribution rate of the tibialis anterior were the most (χ2 > 38.507, P < 0.001). All the path length of COP was the shortest in the anterior (P < 0.05). In the anterior, the total path length of COP correlated with iEMG of biceps femoris (r = 0.452, P = 0.02) and gastrocnemius (r = 0.397, P = 0.045); in the postero-medial, the total path length of COP correlated with iEMG of gastrocnemius (r = 0.478, P = 0.014); and in the postero-lateral, the total path length of COP correlated with iEMG of tibialis anterior (r = 0.437, P = 0.026). ConclusionFor YBT, the activation of rectus femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles of supporting legs are significant, and different with the indicators of EMG. Postural stability is the best in the posterolateral. The joint extensors or flexors play a different role for dynamic postural stability in the different directions.
