Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Background::Breast cancer (BC) risk-stratification tools for Asian women that are highly accurate and can provide improved interpretation ability are lacking. We aimed to develop risk-stratification models to predict long- and short-term BC risk among Chinese women and to simultaneously rank potential non-experimental risk factors.Methods::The Breast Cancer Cohort Study in Chinese Women, a large ongoing prospective dynamic cohort study, includes 122,058 women aged 25-70 years old from the eastern part of China. We developed multiple machine-learning risk prediction models using parametric models (penalized logistic regression, bootstrap, and ensemble learning), which were the short-term ensemble penalized logistic regression (EPLR) risk prediction model and the ensemble penalized long-term (EPLT) risk prediction model to estimate BC risk. The models were assessed based on calibration and discrimination, and following this assessment, they were externally validated in new study participants from 2017 to 2020.Results::The AUC values of the short-term EPLR risk prediction model were 0.800 for the internal validation and 0.751 for the external validation set. For the long-term EPLT risk prediction model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.692 and 0.760 in internal and external validations, respectively. The net reclassification improvement index of the EPLT relative to the Gail and the Han Chinese Breast Cancer Prediction Model (HCBCP) models for external validation was 0.193 and 0.233, respectively, indicating that the EPLT model has higher classification accuracy.Conclusions::We developed the EPLR and EPLT models to screen populations with a high risk of developing BC. These can serve as useful tools to aid in risk-stratified screening and BC prevention.

Acquired Hemophilia A is an acquired bleeding disorder characterized by reduced FⅧ activity due to the presence of autoantibodies against anticoagulant factor Ⅷ in the circulation. Laboratory tests are typically characterized by prolonged isolated activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Clinically, it often manifests as severe bleeding, and 50% of AHA patients can identify the cause. This article reports on a patient with post-traumatic AHA who rapidly improved after antibody removal and bypass replacement therapy, followed by wound healing following surgical intervention. A review of relevant literature is also conducted to enhance clinicians' awareness of AHA, which presents with normal coagulation initially and gradually develops into prolonged APTT accompanied by bleeding manifestations, aiming for early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Objective To prepare decellularized scaffolds from rabbit cartilage at various concentrations and assess their physicochemical properties and compatibility with stem cells to provide an experimental basis for cartilage repair.Methods Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)were cultured using the Percoll density gradient separation method,and this was followed by flow cytometric analysis and testing of their osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation capabilities.Cartilage pieces were excised from rabbit knees and hip joints and subjected to physical crushing,repeated freeze-thaw cycles,and mixed enzymatic digestion for decellularization.To compare and observe the physicochemical properties of the decellularized scaffolds at different concentrations,three groups of scaffolds(labelwd A,B,and C)were designed with concentrations of 100％,50％and 30％,with three replicates each.Third-generation PKH26-labeled BMSCs were seeded onto optimally concentrated scaffolds and cultured for 1 week to observe cell growth.Results Flow cytometry detected BMSC surface antigens with positive expression of CD44 and CD90 and negative expression of CD45.Osteogenic induction stained with alizarin red showed red calcific nodules,and chondrogenic induction stained with alcian blue showed blue cartilaginous nodules.No apparent cell morphology was observed in the three groups of scaffolds stained with hematoxylin-eosin,and toluidine blue.There was a significant difference in DNA concentration between decellularized samples and non-decellularized scaffolds(P＜0.05).The content of glycosaminoglycans was slightly lower than the normal values.Significant differences were observed between the three groups of scaffolds in terms of pore size,water absorption,porosity,tensile strength,and Young's modulus(P＜0.05).After co-cultivation of stem cells with the scaffolds,cell adhesion was found to be good.Conclusions Percoll density gradient separation can obtain high-purity rabbit BMSCs,and the mixed decellularization method is superior.Group B scaffolds were the most suitable for tissue-engineered cartilage repair.BMSCs cultured in vitro grew well on Group B scaffolds.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of catheter fracture in totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A retrospective nested case-control study was used to establish a cohort of 3 517 patients with TIVAP and infusion port maintenance in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2012 to December 2021, and they were divided into the fracture group and the control group. The general information questionnaire, TIVAP Catheter Fracture Related Factors Questionnaire and TIVAP Catheter Fracture Clinical Characteristics Questionnaire were used to collect general and clinical data of patients in two groups. The risk factors of TIVAP catheter fracture were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:The incidence of TIVAP catheter fracture was 0.6% (21/3 517) . Logistic regression analysis showed that the operator's experience of placing ports, whether the patient performed TIVAP maintenance regularly, time for patients carrying the infusion port and whether TIVAP were repeatedly blocked were influencing factors for the occurrence of catheter fracture in TIVAP.Conclusions:Nursing staff should fully understand the risk factors of TIVAP catheter fracture, identify high-risk groups in the early stage and carry out targeted nursing interventions to reduce the incidence of TIVAP catheter fracture.

Objective:To analyze the application effect of discharge planning based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture (OTLF).Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was made on clinical information of 230 OTLF patients treated in Honghui Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from January to December 2020, including 44 males and 186 females, aged 53-92 years [(72.0±9.9)years]. A total of 115 patients receiving conventional nursing intervention from January to June 2020 were enrolled in regular nursing group and 115 patients receiving discharge planning intervention based on ERAS from July to December 2020 were enrolled in discharge planning group. The length of hospital stay, readiness for hospital discharge scale (RHDS) at 4 hours before discharge, caregiver preparedness scale (CPS) on admission and at 4 hours before discharge, discharge rate before 12∶00, Chinese osteoporosis quality of life short questionnaire (COQOL) on admission and at 6 months after surgery, and re-fracture rate were compared in the two groups.Results:The patients were followed up for 6 months, except for 3 patients lost to follow up in discharge planning group and 4 patients in regular nursing group. The length of hospital stay was (2.8±0.6)days in discharge planning group and (2.6±0.7)days in regular nursing group ( P>0.05). The RHDS in discharge planning group was significantly greater at 4 hours before discharge when compared with regular nursing group [(103.0±8.3)points vs. (95.3±9.5)points] ( P<0.01). The two groups had no significant difference in CPS at admittance ( P>0.05), but a significantly greater CPS was found in discharge planning group at 4 hours before discharge when compared with regular nursing group [(28.9±3.5)points vs. (24.3±4.8)points] ( P<0.01). The discharge rate before 12∶00 in discharge planning group was significantly higher when compared with regular nursing group [27.7%(31/115) vs. 15.3%(17/115)] ( P<0.05). The COQOL was similar at admittance between the two groups ( P>0.05), but a significantly lower score was found in discharge planning group than that in regular nursing group [(21.6±6.2)points vs. (26.6±6.9)points] ( P<0.01). A significantly lower re-fracture rate was found in discharge planning group at 6 months after surgery when compared with regular nursing group [4.5%(5/112) vs. 12.6%(14/111)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For OTLF patients, discharge planning based on ERAS is superior to regular nursing in improving the readiness for hospital discharge, caregiver preparedness, quality of life and management of beds, and lowering re-fracture rate.

Objective:To explore whether microRNA (miRNA) -181b-5p inhibits the proliferation and invasion of cutaneous melanoma cells by targeting pleckstrin (PLEK) .Methods:Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze cutaneous melanoma-associated core genes; dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the targeted interaction between miRNA-181b-5p and PLEK. Oligo RNA and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to regulate the expression of miRNA-181b-5p and PLEK in A375 cells respectively in this experiment, and A375 cells were divided into the following groups in detail: mimic negative control group, miRNA-181b-5p mimic group, inhibitor negative control group, miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor group, PLEK siRNA group, siRNA negative control group, miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + control siRNA co-transfection group and miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + PLEK siRNA3 co-transfection group. After 48-hour treatment, qPCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression of miRNA-181b-5p and PLEK in A375 cells, Western blot analysis to determine the PLEK protein expression, and Transwell assay to assess the invasive ability of A375 cells; after additional 24-96 hours of culture, cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was conducted to assess the proliferative ability of A375 cells.Results:PLEK was the core gene for cutaneous melanoma. PLEK expression in the cutaneous melanoma in situ tissues was significantly higher than that in the paracancerous tissues ( P = 0.031) , but lower than that in the metastatic tissues ( P = 0.001) . Compared with human epidermal melanocytes HEMa-LP, the mRNA and protein expression of PLEK significantly increased in A375 cells (mRNA: 3.884 ± 0.156 vs. 0.997 ± 0.010, t = 18.48, P < 0.001; protein: 2.840 ± 0.301 vs. 1.029 ± 0.094, t = 5.47, P = 0.005) , but the miRNA-181b-5p expression significantly decreased in A375 cells (0.333 ± 0.042 vs. 0.967 ± 0.069, t = 7.83, P = 0.001) . Dual-luciferase reporter assay showed targeted binding of miRNA-181b-5p to PLEK. Compared with the mimic negative control group, the miRNA-181b-5p mimic group showed significantly decreased survival rate of A375 cells (48 hours: t = 7.96, P = 0.015; 72 hours: t = 7.50, P = 0.002; 96 hours: t = 7.96, P = 0.001) , and significantly decreased invasive ability of A375 cells ( t = 5.07, P = 0.007) ; on the contrary, the survival rate and invasive ability of A375 cells were significantly higher in the miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor group than in the inhibitor negative control group (survival rate: 24 hours, t =5.38, P = 0.013; 48 hours, t = 5.36, P = 0.013; 72 hours, t =7.63, P = 0.005; 96 hours, t = 5.99, P = 0.004; invasive ability: t = 7.24, P = 0.002) ; compared with the siRNA negative control group, the proliferative and invasive ability of A375 cells significantly decreased in the PLEK siRNA group (proliferative ability: 48, 72, 96 hours, P = 0.015, 0.011, 0.001, respectively; invasive ability: t = 4.93, P = 0.008) ; compared with the miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + control siRNA co-transfection group, the miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + PLEK siRNA co-transfection group showed significantly decreased proliferation rate and invasive ability of A375 cells (proliferation rate: 24, 48, 72, 96 hours, P = 0.042, 0.042, 0.037, 0.017, respectively; invasive ability: t = 8.52, P = 0.001) . Conclusion:miRNA-181b-5p can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of cutaneous melanoma A375 cells, likely by down-regulating the PLEK expression.
