Objective To investigate the changes in serum level of heat shock protein 70(HSP70),intestinal fatty acid binding protein(IFABP)in patients with severe multiple injuries and their relationship with intestinal function damage.Methods Cases data from ninety-eight patients with multiple injuries admitted to Beijing Temple of Heaven Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from December 2021 to December 2023 were collected as the diseased group.They were separated into mild group(n=52)and severe group(n=46)based on the Injury Severity Score(ISS).Additionally,42 healthy controls that underwent physical examinations were regarded as the control group.ELISA was applied to detect serum HSP70 and IFABP level.General clinical data were collected and analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of the severity of multiple injuries patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of serum HSP70 and IFABP for the degree of intestinal function damage in patients with severe multiple injuries.Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum HSP70,IFABP with ISS and degree of intestinal function damage.Results Compared with the control group,serum level of HSP70 and IFABP in the diseased group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The ISS,intensive care unit(ICU)hospitalization time,serum HSP70,and IFABP levels in the severe group were higher than those in the mild group(P＜0.05).The ISS,ICU hospitalization time,and serum level of HSP70 and IFABP were all believed to be the risk factors affecting the severity of multiple injuries patients(P＜0.05).Compared with the mild group,the serum HSP70 and IFABP level in the severe group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).The AUC of HSP70,IFABP,and combined diagnosis for the degree of intestinal function dam-age in patients was 0.837,0.817,and 0.950,respectively.The combined diagnosis was obviously better than indi-vidual diagnosis of HSP70(Z=2.200,P=0.028)and IFABP(Z=2.007,P=0.045).There was a positive correlation between serum HSP70,IFABP,with ISS,the degree of intestinal function damage(P＜0.05).Conclusions The serum level of HSP70 and IFABP in patients with severe multiple injuries are significantly in-creased,which are closely related to the degree of intestinal function damage.So the results may facilitate diagnoses and severity evaluation of intestinal function damage of patients.

BACKGROUND:It has been hypothesized that PANoptosis may be involved in the pathologic process of osteoporosis,but there have been no studies addressing the mechanisms of PANoptosis genes in osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biological mechanism of PANoptosis regulators in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. METHODS:The GSE56815 dataset was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and PANoptosis genes were extracted for differential analysis.The key genes of PANoptosis were screened by random forest tree model to construct a disease risk prediction model.Consensus clustering algorithm,single sample genome enrichment analysis and immune infiltration analysis were used to explore the differences between different PANoptosis molecular subtypes.Herbal drugs that regulate the key genes of PANoptosis were predicted through Coremine medical database,a medical ontology information retrieval platform. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Based on the four PANoptosis key genes(CASP1,CASP10,MEFV,and TNF),the diagnostic markers of osteoporosis were determined,and the risk prediction model was constructed and verified.Osteoporosis was divided into two different PANoptosis subtypes(clusters A,B and gene clusters A,B),and the PANoptosis scores of cluster B and gene cluster B were higher than those of cluster A and gene cluster A,respectively.Traditional Chinese drugs such as ginseng which can regulate the key genes of PANoptosis were predicted by the Coremine medical database.

Objective:To explore the factors influencing the supportive communication ability of medical undergraduates, and to propose strategies to improve supportive communication.Methods:By cluster sampling, we selected 388 medical undergraduates of grades 2017 and 2018 from Harbin Medical University for a questionnaire survey on supportive communication, general self-efficacy, and health education abilities. SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis. AMOS 22.0 was used to construct a structural equation model to verify the relationship between the three variables. Mediating effects were also tested.Results:The students showed good supportive communication ability, with a total score of (74.28±10.84) points. The general self-efficacy score was (27.81±5.58) points, and the total score of health education ability was (25.50±4.76) points. General self-efficacy had direct positive effects on supportive communication and health education abilities ( β=0.75, 0.31, both P<0.001). Health education ability had a direct positive effect on supportive communication ability ( β=0.14, P<0.001). Health education ability played a significant mediating role in the influence of general self-efficacy on supportive communication ability (standardized mediating effect value=0.042, P<0.01), with the mediating effect accounting for 5.1%. Conclusions:The health education competency of medical undergraduates can mediate the effect of general self-efficacy on supportive communication ability. By strengthening medical humanities education to increase general self-efficacy and also emphasizing the cultivation of health education competency, the supportive communication ability of students can be improved.

Objective:To describe functional disability rate of anxiety disorders in Chinese community adults and explore related risk factors of functional disability.Methods:To conduct in-depth data analysis on China Mental Health Survey(CMHS).The diagnostic tool for anxiety disorders was the Composite International Diagnostic Inter-view-3.0,according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ).The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule,2nd edition,was the functional disability assessment standard for anxiety disorders.Weighted 12-month functional disability rate of DSM-Ⅳ anxiety disorder with co-morbidities and only anxiety disorder in population and those in patients,as well as days of partial disability were calculated.The effects of anxiety disorders comorbid other mental disorders and physical diseases and demographic factors on the severity and occurrence of functional disability were analyzed by multiple linear regression and logis-tic regression.Results:The functional disability rate of anxiety disorder with comorbidities in population was 1.7％,and 42.2％in patients,in which constituent rate of grade-four disability was the highest as 84.1％.The functional disability rate of only anxiety disorder in population was 0.3％,and 17.8％in patients.The medians of days of partial disability days in the past 30 days were from 0 to 14.42.Multiple linear regression showed a positive association between comorbid anxiety disorder with other mental disorders and physical diseases(β=0.24),comor-bid other mental disorders and physical diseases(β=0.21),physical diseases(β=0.18),comorbid anxiety disor-der and physical diseases(β=0.15),comorbid anxiety disorder with other mental disorders(β=0.08),other men-tal disorders(β=0.07),only anxiety disorder(β=0.06),lower education level(β=0.12),lower economic status(β=0.08),older age(β=0.06),non-marital status(β=0.06),male(β=0.02)and the severity of functional dis-ability.Logistic regression showed that comorbid anxiety with other mental disorders and physical diseases(OR=64.07),comorbid anxiety disorders with other mental disorders(OR=36.75),comorbid other mental disorders with physical diseases(OR=20.60),comorbid anxiety with physical diseases(OR=18.88),anxiety disorder(OR=9.20),other mental disorders(OR=6.65),physical diseases(OR=4.00),65 years old and over(OR=4.40),50 to 64 years old(OR=2.33),low economic status(OR=2.10),illiterate and below primary school educational level(OR=1.89),middle economic status(OR=1.70),elementary school educational level(OR=1.59),non-marital status(OR=1.47),male(OR=1.16)were the risk factors of the occurrence of functional disability.Conclusion:Comorbidity of anxiety disorders and other mental disorders,and physical diseases increases severity and occurrence of functional disability.Comorbidity,male,gender,older age,lower economic and educa-tional level and non-marital are risk factors of anxiety disorder functional disability.

Objective:To describe disability rates of dementia in community residents aged 65 years and over in China,and explore related risk factors of disability.Methods:This study conducted an in-depth data analysis of the China Mental Health Survey.World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0(WHODAS 2.0)was used to assess dementia disability,Community Screening Interview for Dementia(CSID)and Geriatric Mental Status Examination(GMS)were used for dementia screening and diagnosing.Univariate analysis was used to calcu-late the weighted disability rates of dementia in population and in patients,and their population distribution.Multiple linear regression and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of the occurrence of dementia disability and its severity.Results:The weighted disability rate of dementia was 2.1％in population,and 38.6％in pa-tients.The disability rates of comorbid dementia in population and in patients were higher than those of patients with only dementia.Female,older age,lower education level,lower economic status,and lower cognitive test scores in CSID had higher disability rates of dementia in population.Female and urban resident had higher disability rates of dementia in patients.Multiple linear regression showed economic status(β=0.11),gender(β=0.11),age(β=0.10),and treatment in the last 12 months(β=-0.20)were statistically associated with WHODAS 2.0 scores.Multiple logistic regression showed female(OR=2.81)and treatment in the last 12 months(OR=2.38)were statistically associated with disability.Conclusions:Persons with low economic status,female and elderly peo-ple are the high-risk groups for dementia disability.It should be paid attention to prevent dementia and its conse-quential disabilities.

Objective:To investigate the surgical approaches and clinical outcomes of endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) for trigeminal schwannomas(TSs).Methods:Clinical data, surgical videos and outpatient follow-up notes of 41 patients with TSs and underwent EEA between January 2013 to October 2022 in the Department of Neurosurgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were retrospectively studied. The patients were 19 males and 22 females, with an average age of 45.3 (22-63) years old. Twenty-four patients had TSs on the left and 17 on the right. According to Jeong's classification, for 6 TSs with type MP, 2 tumours were resected by trans-Meckel's cave approach (TMCA) alone, and the remaining 4 TSs were resected by combined transclival approach (TCA). For the 4 tumours that involved infratemporal fossa(2 of type E3, 1 of type mE3 and 1 of type Mpe3), the surgery were performed via a trans-prelacrimal recess approach(TPRA), of which the operation for type Mpe3 was combined with a TMCA. The trans-laminal papyracea approach (TLPA) was applied to remove 2 tumours of type E1. The rest of 29 patients received the surgery by TMCA alone to remove tumours including 15 of types M, 10 of type Mp, 1 of type ME2, 2 of type E2 and 1 of type MpE2. Gross total tumour resection was achieved in 40 patients(97.6%), with only 1 patient (2.4%) had a subtotal tumour resection.Results:A total of 40 patients had completed the long-term follow-up, with 1 patient lost in follow-up. The average follow-up period was 34(3-101) months; No tumour recurrence or progression was observed over follow-up. After the surgery, preoperative symptoms were improved in 34 patients(89.5%). The main improved symptoms were: facial numbness(78.9%), facial pain(70.0%), headache(88.2%), mastication weakness (50.0%), poor vision (60.0%), diplopia (83.3%), and abducens nerve palsy (100%). Transient and permanent neurological deficits occurred in 8 (19.5%) and 9 (22.0%) patients, respectively. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage and internal carotid artery injury occurred in 1 patient each.Conclusion:According to the location of a tumour, an appropriate EEA should be selected and satisfactory results can be achieved for all types of tumours, except the TSs that has the main body of the tumour located in the posterior cranial fossa.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange(PE) in the treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in children.Methods:The data from 8 hospitals in China during November 2014 to April 2017 were collected, and the clinical characteristics of PE in children with AHA were analyzed retrospectively.Results:A total of 21 children with AHA were included in the study, including 17 cases from PICU and 4 cases from pediatric kidney ward, with 11 boys and 10 girls, and the median age was 3.64(0.25, 11.10)years old, and median hospital stay was 12(4, 45)days.There were 15 cases(71.4%) with infection, 2 cases(9.5%)with autoimmune diseases, 4 cases(19.0%) with unknown.Consciousness disturbance occurred in 4 patients before replacement and recovered to normal after PE.The volume of blood decreased in two cases(9.5%) and completely relieved.There were 20 cases of anemia (95.2%), 15 cases were normal after PE, and 5 cases were improved.Jaundice occurred in 18 cases (85.7%), 12 cases were normal after PE, 6 cases were improved.Hepatosplenomegaly was found in 11 cases, 10 cases were normal after PE, 1 case was improved.After PE, the hemoglobin and red blood cell count increased, while the total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, urea nitrogen and lactate dehydrogenase decreased, there were significant differences between pre-and post-replacement ( P<0.05). Only 1 case had allergic reaction, which was improved after symptomatic treatment, and PE was continued.After PE, 2 cases (9.5%) had complete remission, 16 cases (76.2%) had partial remission and 3 cases (14.3%) had been discharged. Conclusion:PE therapy can obviously improve the clinical symptoms and laboratory indexes of children with AHA who have failed to respond to conservative treatment.It can be used as a treatment measure for children with severe AHA and has a good safety.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of Infix combined with hollow screws for the treatment of pelvic injuries with pubic symphysis separation in middle-aged and elderly patients.Methods:Data of 8 middle-aged and elderly patients with pelvic injuries due to pubic symphysis separation undergone treatment from January 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The average operating time of 8 patients was (46.0±6.2)min(range: 40-62min); the average intraoperative blood loss was (32.0±5.6)ml(range: 25-50 ml); the average length of incisions at the iliac screw was(2.6±0.4)cm(range: 2.0-3.5 cm); the average length of incisions at the hollow screw was (1.1±0.3)cm(range: 0.8-1.5 cm); and the average times of fluoroscopy were (36.0±6.0)times(range: 28-52 times). Postoperative X-ray and CT examinations showed that the reduction of the pubic symphysis was good, the inserted iliac screws and cannulated screws were positioned accurately, and the incision healed well.Based on Matta's criteria, postoperative radiological outcomes were evaluated, with 7 cases rated as excellent and 1 as good, giving an excellent to good rate of 100%(8/8). The average followed up time for all 8 patients was (15.0±4.2)months(range: 6-24 months). Pelvic X-ray and CT examinations at the last follow-up showed that the fractures healed well and the pubic symphysis reduction did not fail.Infix and cannulated screws in the pubic symphysis were removed 10-12 weeks after surgery[average: (10.5±0.5)weeks]. According to the Majeed Pelvic Score, 5 cases were rated as excellent, 2 cases as good and 1 as fair, with an excellent to good rate of 87.5%(7/8). One patient had symptoms related to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve that disappeared after 3 months.One patient developed deep venous thrombosis after surgery, and the filter was placed and removed 10 weeks later.Conclusions:Using Infix plus cannulated screws for the treatment of pelvic injuries in middle-aged and elderly patients with pubic symphysis separation has the advantages of limited trauma and intraoperative blood loss, good fixation and few complications.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of using combined lumbar pelvis fixation device in the treatment of old vertical unstable fracture dislocation of posterior pelvic ring.Methods:Data of 7 patients with old vertical unstable fracture dislocation of posterior pelvic ring admitted and followed up from January 2017 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 males and 3 females with an average age of 42.4 years old (range, 22-73 years old). There were 3 cases of traffic injury, 3 cases of falling injury and 1 case of tumble injury. According to Tile classification for pelvic fractures, there were 5 cases of type C1, 1 case of type C2 and 1 case of type C3. The average time from fracture to surgery was 5.4 weeks (range, 3-10 weeks). Among the 7 patients, 4 patients' posterior ring fractures were fixed by combined lumbar pelvic triangle fixation, and 3 patients' posterior ring fracture were fixed by combined lumbar pelvic fixation. 4 patients' anterior ring injury were not treated, 2 patients' anterior ring injury were treated by closed cannulated screw and internal fixation, and 1 patient's anterior ring injury was fixed by INFIX and cannulated screw. Every patient's operating time, intraoperative blood loss, length of incision and times of X-ray fluoroscopy were recorded. Pelvic X-ray and CT scan were taken postoperatively to observe the condition of reduction and screw position. Postoperative fracture reduction quality was assessed by Matta radiological criteria and Majeed criteria was used at the final follow-ups to evaluate the degree of functional recovery after pelvic fracture.Results:The average operating time of 7 patients was 143 min (range, 96-205 min); the intraoperative average blood loss was 579 ml (range, 300-1 650 ml); the average length of incisions was 12.9 cm (range, 9-15 cm) and the average time of X-ray fluoroscopy was 27 times (range, 15-52 times). Postoperative X-ray and CT scan showed that the displacements of the posterior rings were reset well and all the hollow screws were located accurately and firmly. Postoperative radiation quality was evaluated according to Matta radiological criteria, and there were 4 cases of excellent, 2 cases of good and 1 case of fair, with an excellent and good rate of 85.7% (6/7). Seven patients had good fracture union. The average followed up time for all 7 patients was 12 months (range, 6-16 months). At the last follow-up, imaging examination showed good reduction of the sacroiliac joint, and the reduction of anterior and posterior rings were not lost. The healing time was 14.2 weeks (range, 12-20 weeks). Majeed score: postoperative 4.90±6.64 points (range, 48-58 points), postoperative 3 months 71.40±7.32 points (range, 67-75 points), postoperative 6 months 84.90±8.14 points (range, 68-96 points), the difference was statistically significant ( F=0.614, P=0.004). Majeed score 6 months after operation showed that 5 cases were excellent, 1 case was good and 1 case was fair, and the excellent and good rate was 85.7% (6/7). Conclusion:Using combined lumbar pelvis fixation device in the treatment of old vertical unstable fracture dislocation of posterior pelvic ring has good reduction quality, high fixed strength and good postoperative effect.
