Objective To investigate gender differences and age-related changes in body composition(BC)among Miao adults in Rongshui,Guangxi Province,and to provide the basis for assessing nutritional status and health.Methods With informed consent,630 Miao adults(218 males,412 females)were randomly selected for this study.Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA).Results Weight,fat-free mass,muscle mass,trunk muscle mass,limb muscle mass,waist-to-hip ratio(WHR),body water,presumtion of bone mass and protein were significantly higher in males than in females.And the fat mass,trunk fat mass,limb fat mass,visceral fat content,subcutaneous fat content and percentage of body fat were significantly higher in females than in males.According to the evaluation of body mass index(BMI)and WHR,the proportion of overweight and obesity of Miao adults was higher than the average level of Miao residents,and their obesity was characterized by central obesity.With age,weight,fat mass,muscle mass,fat-free mass,limb muscle mass,limb fat mass,subcutaneous fat content,percentage of body fat,body water,presumtion of bone mass,and protein of Rongshui Miao adults showed a gradual decreasing trend,while visceral fat content and WHR increased progressively.BMI in male Miao adults,along with BMI,fat mass,trunk fat mass,subcutaneous fat content,percentage of body fat,and body water in female Miao adults,showed a trend of increasing followed by decreasing,peaking at the age of 40-49 years.Conclusion The body composition of Miao adults in Rongshui,Guangxi,exhibits significant gender differences and age-related variation change patterns,which may increase the risk of sarcopenia and metabolic diseases with aging.

Background: Obesity and chronic pain are related in both directions, according to earlier observational research.This research aimed to analyze the causal association between obesity and chronic pain at the genetic level, as well as to assess whether common factors mediate this relationship. Methods: This study used bidirectional two sample Mendelian randomization (MR) technique to analyze the association between obesity and chronic pain. Obesity's summary genome-wide association data were obtained from European ancestry groups, as measured by body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC), genome-wide association study data for chronic pain also came from the UK population, including chronic pain at three different sites (back, hip, and headache), chronic widespread pain (CWP), and multisite chronic pain (MCP). Secondly, a two-step MR and multivariate MR investigation was performed to evaluate the mediating effects of several proposed confounders. Results: The authors discovered a link between chronic pain and obesity. More specifically, a sensitivity analysis was done to confirm the associations between greater BMI, WC, and HC with an increased risk of CWP and MCP.Importantly, the intermediate MR results suggest that education levels and smoking initiation may mediate the causal relationship between BMI on CWP, with a mediation effect of 23.08% and 15.38%, respectively. Conclusions The authors’ findings demonstrate that the importance of education and smoking in understanding chronic pain’s pathogenesis, which is important for the primary prevention and prognosis of chronic pain.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality rates of female breast cancer in Henan Province in 2020 and the trends from 2010 to 2020.[Methods]Breast cancer incidence and mor-tality data stratified by urban and rural areas and age groups were collected from Henan Provincial tumor registry,and the province's household population statistics were used.The crude incidence/mortality rate,age-standardized incidence/mortality rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC/ASMRC)and world standard population(ASIRW/ASMRW),cumulative rate(0～74 year old)were calculated.The annual percentage change(APC),average annual percentage change(AAPC)and 95％confidence interval(CI)were calculated using Joinpoint software to analyze the trends of the incidence and mortality from 2010 to 2020.[Results]In 2020,24 744 new cases and 4 989 deaths of female breast cancer were documented in Henan Province,with a crude incidence rate of 46.96/105,ASIRC of 38.43/105 and ASIRW of 35.71/105;a crude mortality rate of 9.47/105,ASMRC of 6.80/105 and ASMRW of 6.72/105,respectively.The above indicators in urban areas were signifi-cantly higher than those in rural areas.The highest incidence was observed in the age group of 50～54 years old,while the highest mortality reached in the age group of 85 years old and above.From 2010 to 2020,the overall incidence of female breast cancer showed a slow upward trend(AAPC=2.09％,95％CI:0.62％～3.58％,P=0.010),while the mortality rate exhibited a signif-icant downward trend(AAPC=-3.49％,95％CI:-5.62％～-1.30％,P=0.005).[Conclusion]The incidence and mortality rates of female breast cancer in Henan Province are still at a high level,and corresponding preventive measures and control strategies are needed to effectively reduce the health hazards of breast cancer to women.

Objective To explore the characteristics of fluid flow within loaded osteons under different boundary conditions.Methods The COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to establish a three-dimensional(3D)finite element model of osteons with different boundary conditions,and the variation rules of pore pressure and flow velocity of osteons under different inner wall pulsating blood pressures and outer wall elastic constraint conditions were analyzed.Results As the pulsatile blood pressure inside the osteon increased from 0 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)to 300 mmHg,the peak pore pressure within the osteon correspondingly increased from 26 kPa to 68 kPa.As the elastic constraint on the outer wall of osteons changed from being completely elastic to completely constrained,the peak pore pressure within osteons increased from 15 kPa to 26 kPa,and the peak flow velocity increased from 0.04 um/s to 0.07 um/s.Conclusions This study reveals the influence laws of changes in boundary conditions such as the pulsatile blood pressure on the inner wall and the elastic constraint on the outer wall of osteons on fluid flow characteristics within loaded osteons.These findings are conducive to a deeper understanding of the mechanical response mechanisms of bone tissues in both physiological and pathological states,and provide an important theoretical basrs for further researches on bone mechanotransduction.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the incidence of low back pain (LBP) and analyze its main influencing factors among automobile manufacturing workers in China.Methods:In March 2024, literatures related to LBP of workers in the automotive manufacturing industry were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Database, PubMed, and Web of Science Database. The search time range was from the establishment of the database to March 2024, and the literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After evaluating the quality of the article using the quality evaluation criteria recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in the United States, Stata 17.0 software was used for analysis. Random effects models or fixed effects models were selected based on the degree of heterogeneity to calculate the combined effect size, and subgroup analysis and analysis of influencing factors of LBP were conducted.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, with a total sample size of 22245 people. The literature quality score ranged from 6 to 8 points. The results of the Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of LBP among automobile manufacturing workers in China was 32% (95% CI: 22%, 42%) . The results of subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of LBP among automotive manufacturing workers aged ≥30 years was 39% (95% CI: 22%, 57%) , which was higher than that among automotive manufacturing workers aged <30 years (24%, 95% CI: 17%, 32%) . The incidence of LBP among automotive manufacturing workers with a length of service of ≥5 years was 40% (95% CI: 23%, 56%) , which was higher than that among automotive manufacturing workers with a length of service of <5 years (24%, 95% CI: 16%, 33%) . The incidence of LBP reported from 2011 to 2017 (39%, 95% CI: 18%, 60%) was higher than that from 2018 to 2023 (28%, 95% CI: 20%, 36%) . Working in an uncomfortable posture ( OR=3.72, 95% CI: 2.05, 6.77) , standing for a long time while working ( OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.61, 2.42) , carrying heavy objects ( OR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.63, 2.30) , bending over while working ( OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.60, 2.17) and frequent overtime work ( OR=2.38, 95% CI: 1.44, 3.92) were both risk factors for LBP among workers in the automotive manufacturing industry ( P<0.05) , while sufficient rest time ( OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.48, 0.63) was a protective factor ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The incidence of LBP among workers in China's automotive manufacturing industry is relatively high. Working in an uncomfortable posture, standing for a long time, carrying heavy objects, bending over for work, frequent overtime work and sufficient rest time are the influencing factors of LBP among workers in the automotive manufacturing industry. Preventive measures should be actively taken in response to the above influencing factors to effectively reduce the incidence of LBP among workers in China's automotive manufacturing industry.
