Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA(miR)-34a-5p on neurological function of rats with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)by adjusting PTEN-induced kinase 1(PINK1)/Parkin pathway.Methods SD rats were assigned into sham surgery group(Sham),ICH group,inhibitor NC group,miR-34a-5p inhibitor group,miR-34a-5p inhibitor+DMSO group,and miR-34a-5p inhibitor+Mdivi-1 group,with 8 rats in each group.Modified neurological severity score(mNSS)was used to assess changes in neurological function of rats;HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the brain tissue of rats;transmission electron microscopy was used to observe autophagy in brain tissue;TUNEL staining was used to observe cell apoptosis;qRT-PCR experiment was used to detect the mRNA levels of miR-34a-5p,PINK1 and Parkin in the brain tissues;Western blot experiments were used to measure PINK1,Parkin,Beclin1 and P62 proteins in the brain tissues of rats;dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the targeting relationship between miR-34a-5p and PINK1.Results Compared with the inhibitor NC group,the miR-34a-5p inhibitor group demonstrated lower levels of neuronal necrosis,red blood cell amount,inflammatory cell amount,autophagic vacuole amount,mNSS score,TUNEL positivity rate,miR-34a-5p expression and p62 protein,but higher levels of PINK1,Parkin mRNA and protein expression,and Beclin1 protein expression(P<0.05).Compared with the miR-34a-5p inhibitor+DMSO group,the changes mentioned above in rat of the miR-34a-5p inhibitor+Mdivi-1 group are all reversed(P<0.05).In the dual luciferase reporter gene experiment,the relative luciferase activity of cells in the miR-34a-5p mimic and PINK1-WT cotransfected group was greatly reduced(P<0.05).Conclusion The downregulation of miR-34a-5p may alleviate neurological dysfunction in ICH rats by adjusting PINK1/Parkin pathway.

Objective To investigate the characteristics,clinical indicators and risk factors of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias in large hospitalized populations.Methods Using the"Adverse Event Active Monitoring and Intelligent Assessment Alert System-Ⅱ"(ADE-ASAS-Ⅱ),the electronic medical record of inpatients using levofloxacin in 2019 was monitored to obtain relevant data for patients with arrhythmias.Patients without arrhythmia were selected by propensity score matching,and the risk factors of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias were analyzed by univariate and multivariate conditional logistic regression.Results The incidence of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias was 1.64%in 12 879 people who used levofloxacin.The incidence in people over 65 years was 3.22%.The main manifestations of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias were extrasystole(0.84%),tachycardia(0.63%),QT interval prolongation(0.44%),and no severe arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of administration(OR=1.030,95%CI 1.009 to 1.050,P=0.004)and intravenous administration(OR=2.392,95%CI 1.478 to 3.870,P<0.001)independent risk factors for levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias.Conclusion Arrhythmias caused by levofloxacin are common and have various types,among which the occurrence of QT interval prolongation is occasional.We should pay more attention to elderly patients who receive intravenous levofloxacin and try to avoid long courses of medication.

Femoral neck fractures in pediatric fractures account for less than 1% which is very rare, and its mechanism is commonly caused by high-energy trauma. If children with femoral neck fracture cannot receive timely and effective treatment, they are at high risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN), coxa vara, bone nonunion, premature physeal closure, leg length discrepancy and other complications. Surgical treatment is currently preferred over conservative treatment, which has a higher complication rate. Among them, AVN is one of the most common and the most difficult complications to manage. So far, no effective treatment measures and reliable predictors have been reported, and the related factors affecting the occurrence of AVN have also been controversial. Once femoral head necrosis occurs in children, the prognosis is not ideal due to the lack of appropriate treatment methods. Therefore, this paper reviews the research progress on the related factors of AVN after femoral neck fracture in children based on the literature reports in the past decade.

Objective To compare the biomechanical effects of n-HA/PA66 vertebral body cage and percutaneous vertebroplasty for treating osteoporotic vertebral fracture, so as to provide theoretical foundations for clinically choosing operative approach and numbers of n-HA/PA66 cage. Methods Based on finite element models of normal vertebral T11-L3, four finite element models of vertebral T11-L3 with n-HA/PA66 cage implanted by different approaches (transversus approach A, B and psoas major muscle approach A, B) were established. Two controlled models without intertransverse ligaments were also built. Besides, two finite element models of osteoporotic vertebral T11-L3 with injection of 1.8 mL or 3.6 mL bone cement were built, respectively. The loads of 500 N and force torque of 7 N·m from different directions were applied on nine models, to calculate and analyze the displacement and stress of the osteoporotic vertebrae during standing, extension, anteflexion, lateral bending, and rotation, and to investigate the biomechanical effects from two kinds of osteoporotic vertebral fracture treatment on vertebral body. Results Under the same loading, bone cement could lead to a larger stress increase while a smaller displacement decrease in vertebral body compared with n-HA/PA66 cage. The model with n-HA/PA66 cage implanted by psoas major muscle approach A (namely, a cage was implanted through psoas major muscle) had the minimal increase in vertebral stress while the maximum decrease in displacement. Conclusions In order to reduce the risk of the additional fracture due to stress increment and recover the stiffness of osteoporotic vertebrae, clinicians are suggested to implant one n-HA/PA66 cage through psoas major to treat the osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Objective To explore the biomechanical effect from different volumes of bone cement on osteoporotic spine T11-L3 at different levels of osteoporosis in vertebroplasty by the finite element method, so as to offer theoretical foundation for the selection of cement volume before vertebroplasty. Methods Based on CT scan images, the finite element models of spine T11-L3 were built and validated. Twelve models of osteoporotic spine T11-L3 without bone cement were developed as the control models. The spine L1 was injected with 1.8 mL and 3.6 mL bone cement, respectively, to strengthen the spine and build 24 models of spine T11-L3 at different levels of osteoporosis. The vertical load (500 N) and the torque (7 N·m) were applied on superior face of the spine T11 to calculate and analyze vertebral stress and displacement under the working conditions of standing, backward extension, anteflexion, lateral bending and rotation, respectively. Results After injection of bone cement, the changes in vertebral stress and displacement under torsional loads were the maximum. For the models with injection of 1.8 mL bone cement, as the levels of osteoporosis increased, the stress of spine L1 increased from 55.0% to 87.7%, and the displacement decreased from 6.5% to 32.0% under torsional loads. The torsional stress of spine T12 and L1 at the highest level of osteoporosis increased by 3.6% and 5.7%, respectively. For the models with injection of 1.8 mL bone cement, as the level of osteoporosis increased, the stress of spine L1 increased from 288.5% to 313.8%, and the displacement decreased from 8.9% to 44.7% under torsional loads. The torsional stress of spine T12 and L1 at the highest level of osteoporosis increased by 7.3% and 7.6%, respectively. Conclusions The deterioration in osteoporosis and the increase in cement volume will lead to the increase in vertebral stress. The vertebral stress and displacement will increase most under torsional loads. Therefore, for patients with vertebral fracture at high level of osteoporosis, low-dosage bone cement should be considered in order to avoid a large increase in stress, and torsional movement of the patients should be restricted.
