Objective: To translate the common metrics for donation attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention for the blood donation context (BD-ASPI) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity among college students. Methods: A research team was established. Following Beaton's cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, the BD-ASPI was translated, culturally adapted, and pre-tested to develop the Chinese version. Using convenience sampling, 620 students from four universities in Wuhan were surveyed form August to November 2024 to test the scale's reliability and validity. Results: The Chinese version of the scale consisted of 21 items across four dimensions: attitude towards blood donation, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.89 to 1.00, and the average scale-level content validity index was 0.984. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the second-order factor model. The Criterion validity was 0.509 (P<0.001). The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.965, with the coefficients for each dimension ranging from 0.891 to 0.974. The test-retest reliability was 0.894. Conclusion: The Chinese version of the BD-ASPI demonstrates good reliability and validity, and can serve as an effective tool for assessing the behavioral intention of voluntary blood donation among college students in China.

Objective To systematically analyze the disease burden, long-term trends, and age-sex distribution of major valvular heart disease (VHD) subtypes—rheumatic heart disease (RHD), non-rheumatic valvular disease (NRVD), and non-rheumatic calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD)—in global, Chinese, and US populations from 1990 to 2021, providing evidence for public health strategies and clinical resource allocation. Methods Based on publicly available data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021, we extracted incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for VHD from 1990 to 2021. Age-standardized rates (ASRs) were calculated using the GBD 2021 global standard population, and the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) with its 95% uncertainty interval (UI) was computed for the period. Data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/Eurostat surveys, and Chinese national registries were used for trend triangulation and contextual background. Results From 1990 to 2021, the ASR and disease burden of RHD significantly decreased globally and in China (EAPC for DALYs in China: −4.8%, 95%UI: −5.0% to −4.6%). In contrast, the burden of NRVD and CAVD steadily increased in aging populations like those in China and the US, with a higher burden observed in older adults and males. In 2021, the incidence of NRVD and CAVD peaked in individuals aged ≥65 years, with rates being significantly higher in men than in women. RHD burden was concentrated in low socio-demographic index (SDI) regions, whereas NRVD/CAVD burden was strongly associated with high-SDI regions. Conclusion The global VHD epidemiological landscape is transitioning from an RHD-dominant to an NRVD/CAVD-dominant pattern. China faces a dual challenge of a residual RHD burden and a rapidly growing burden of degenerative valvular diseases. Developing tailored screening, prevention, and treatment strategies for different disease subtypes and populations is crucial.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of lymphoma mortality and potential years of life lost among Wuhan residents, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of lymphoma. Methods Data on lymphoma deaths among residents in Wuhan from 2010 to 2019 were collected from the population-based Wuhan Mortality Surveillance System. Joinpoint regression model was used to evaluate the trends in age-standardized mortality rates and potential years of life lost due to lymphoma among the residents of different ages and genders. Potential years of life lost rate was used to assess the disease burden. Results There were 4 055 deaths (2481in male and 1 574 in female) from major kidney diseases in Wuhan residents between 2010 to 2019, with an age-standardized mortality rate of 5.11/100 000. The mortality rate of major kidney diseases showed an upward trend with increasing age. Between 2010 and 2019, the age-standardized mortality rates of the multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were significantly increased (APC=6.924%, APC=1.407%, P<0.05), and the potential years of life lost rate of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in female were significantly increased (APC=7.935%,P<0.05). Conclusion From 2010 to 2019, the mortality rate of lymphoma among residents of Wuhan City shows an upward trend, especially for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The disease burden of multiple myeloma shows an increasing trend in the female population, suggesting the need to take corresponding preventive and control measures.

Objective To analyze the global pattern, long-term trends, and regional and population heterogeneity in the burden of 375 diseases and injuries and 88 risk factors from 1990 to 2023 using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023 (GBD 2023). Methods Publicly available GBD 2023 estimates were extracted for incidence, deaths, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and age-standardized rates at the global level and by socio-demographic index (SDI), GBD region, age group, and sex. Descriptive analysis, ranking comparison, stratified analysis, and trend analysis were performed, and 95% uncertainty interval was used to assess the stability of estimates. Results In 2023, non-communicable diseases were the leading contributor to global DALYs, accounting for 64.39% of DALYs across the three major disease and injury groups (communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases, non-communicable diseases, and injuries), and also had the highest age-standardized DALYs rate. From 1990 to 2023, age-standardized DALYs rates declined for three major disease and injury groups, with estimated annual percentage changes of −2.69%, −0.78%, and −1.47%, respectively. Cardiovascular diseases ranked first by both DALYs and deaths in 2023, whereas respiratory infections and tuberculosis ranked first by incidence. Non-communicable diseases were the leading cause of disease burden across all SDI strata. As the SDI level declined, the burden of communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases, as well as injuries, increased markedly. Behavioral and metabolic risks remained the main contributors to attributable deaths and DALYs. Conclusion From 1990 to 2023, the global burden of disease continues to shift toward non-communicable diseases; however, some regions still face a double burden of infectious, maternal and child, injury-related, and chronic diseases. Integrating deaths, DALYs, YLLs, YLDs, and risk-attributable burden helps identify priority areas for prevention and resource allocation across regions and populations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic suture anchor fixation for acute bony Bankart lesions.Methods:Data of 49 patients with acute bone Bankart injury treated with suture anchor fixation under arthroscopy at the Affiliate Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University School of Medicine from February 2019 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 males and 15 females, aged 46.4±17.7 years (range, 18-81 years). Body mass index was 26.3±4.2 kg/m 2 (range, 19.8-37.9 kg/m 2). There were 17 patients with left shoulder and 32 patients with right shoulder. The time from injury to operation was 12.6±10.5 d (range, 1-50 d). CT three-dimensional reconstruction showed that the area of bone defect accounted for 20.1%±11.4% (range, 8%-49%) of the glenoid area. According to the degree of bone defect, there were 38 cases in the bone defect area ≤25% group and 11 cases in the bone defect area >25% group. All 49 patients received shoulder arthroscopic fixation with wire anchor. All 49 the patients were treated under shoulder arthroscopy using suture anchor technique. Using American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeon (ASES) score, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, Rowe score as well as shoulder range of motion to evaluate shoulder function. The position and healing of the fracture mass were evaluated with shoulder joint CT and three-dimensional reconstruction at immediate and final follow-up. Results:The incision healed in one stage and no infection occurred in all patients. All 49 patients were followed up for a period of 3 to 81 months, with an average follow-up of 23.8±20.2 months. At the final follow-up, the mean forward elevation, external rotation, and internal rotation improved from 126.1°±20.3°, 36.9°±14.0°, and 10±2 preoperatively to 167.1°±15.5°, 66.8°±8.3°, and 6±1 at the last follow-up, respectively ( P<0.05). At the final follow-up, the mean ASES score, UCLA score, and Rowe score were all significantly improved from 41.3±11.9, 14.2±6.1 and 46.9±14.7 preoperatively to 89.7±7.8, 31.5±3.6 and 92.4±7.4, respectively ( P<0.05). The differences between the final follow-up and preoperative values for forward elevation in the bone defect area >25% group and the bone defect area ≤25% group were 43°±20° and 41°±21°, respectively. The differences in lateral external rotation were 34°±8° and 29°±18°, while the differences in internal rotation (measured by hand-behind-back reach) were 5±2 and 4±2, respectively. None of these differences were statistically significant. The differences between the final follow-up and preoperative scores in the bone defect area >25% fracture fragment group and the bone defect area ≤25% group were as follows: ASES score, 50.9±14.4 vs. 47.7±12.8; UCLA score, 18.4±3.2 vs. 17.0±6.9; and Rowe score, 40.5±13.5 vs. 46.9±15.0. None of these differences were statistically significant. CT examination at the last follow-up showed that all fractures were healed, all patients in the bone defect area ≤25% group achieved good reduction, and 3 patients in the bone defect area >25% group had step-offs on the glenoid surface. Postoperative shoulder adhesion occurred in 5 patients, which was improved after intensive abduction and external rotation exercise. Conclusions:Arthroscopic suture anchor fixation is effective for the bone defect area ≤25% bony Bankart lesions, offering advantages of minimal invasiveness and rapid recovery. For lesions involving more than the bone defect area 25% of the glenoid surface, enhanced fixation strength is recommended to prevent fracture fragment displacement.

Objective To investigate the effects of Ras-related protein Rab-2B(RAB2B)on the biological behaviors of pancreatic cancer cells and elucidate its underlying mechanism.Methods PANC-1 cells,which exhibit relatively high RAB2B expression,and BXPC-3 cells,which display relatively low RAB2B expression,were selected from five pancreatic cancer cell lines.RAB2B-siRNA and pcDNA3.1-RAB2B plasmids were transfected into PANC-1 and BXPC-3 cells using a cell transfection technique.The CCK-8 assay was employed to evaluate the prolif-erative capacity of pancreatic cancer cells following RAB2B intervention.Wound healing and Transwell chamber assays were utilized to assess the migratory and invasive capabilities of pancreatic cancer cells.Additionally,the mRNA and protein expression levels of RAB2B,NF-κB,and Fibronectin 1(FN1)were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot(WB),respectively.Results RAB2B mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly down-regulated in PANC-1 cells following transfection(P<0.05).CCK-8 assay results demonstrated that the proliferative capacity of PANC-1 cells was markedly reduced(P<0.05),and the wound-healing ability was substantially impaired(P<0.01)upon RAB2B knockdown.Transwell assays revealed a significant decrease in cell migration(P<0.01),while Western blot analysis indicated that the expression levels of phosphorylated p65 and FN1 were notably diminished(P<0.01).Conversely,overexpression of RAB2B reversed these aforementioned alterations.Conclusions Knockdown of RAB2B in PANC-1 cells significantly suppresses cell proliferation and migration,whereas overexpression of RAB2B in BXPC-3 cells markedly promotes these processes.This effect is likely mediated through the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and the subsequent regulation of FN1 expression.

Inflammatory response is a common feature of many acute and chronic diseases,which involves in activation of various cell types.Similar to tumor cells,inflammatory response is regulated by glucose metabolic reprogramming.Cells involved in pro-inflammatory response,such as M1 macrophages,Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes,must generate energy rapidly through glycolysis transformed by glucose metabolic reprogramming to promote inflammation,while cells involved in immune regulation and anti-inflam-matory response,such as regulatory T cells and M2 macrophages,preferentially use fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation as a main source for energy production.This article systematically reviews the role of glucose metabolic reprogramming in different stages of inflammatory response,as well as the various molecular mechanisms of glucose metabolic reprogramming in inflammatory response,including activation or inhibition of signaling pathways,epigenetic regulation,post-transcriptional regulation and post-translational modification,which aims to provide a reference for exploring the specific regulatory mechanisms of glucose metabolic reprogramming on inflammatory response and the therapeutic targets of inflammatory-related diseases.
