Objective To investigate the changing trend and epidemiological characteristics of the incidence and mortality of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with age, period and birth cohort in Chinese population. Methods Based on the data of incidence and mortality of CKD in Chinese population aged 20-80 years from 1990 to 2019 in GHDx database, joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the incidence and mortality trend of CKD. An age-period-cohort model was constructed to analyze the effects of age, period, and birth cohort on the trend of CKD incidence and mortality. Results Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the standardized incidence rate of chronic kidney disease in Chinese population increased from 146.37/100 000 in 1990 to 161.52/100 000 in 2019, while the standardized mortality rate decreased from 12.98/100 000 in 1990 to 11.23/100 000 in 2019. The APC model analysis showed that the risk of CKD incidence and death in the Chinese population increased with age, while the risk of CKD incidence increased with the increase of period. The risk of death did not change significantly with the increase of period. The cohort born later had a lower risk of CKD incidence and death compared to the cohort born earlier. Conclusion At present, the age effect and period effect of the incidence and death risk of chronic kidney disease in China are dominant. It is important to take effective measures and intervene in a timely manner, especially to strengthen the protection of older high-risk groups born earlier.

BACKGROUND:Gastrodin has anti-inflammatory effects and is mainly used in clinical practice for the treatment of ischemic stroke,and its mechanism of action is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of gastrodin intervention on inflammatory injury in ischemic stroke rats. METHODS:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham-operated group,model group,positive control group,high-dose gastrodin group and low-dose gastrodin group by the randomized numerical method,with 10 rats in each group.Ischemic stroke models were established by the middle cerebral artery occlusion method in all groups of rats except for the sham operation group.Administration in each group started on the 3rd day after surgery,and the rats in the positive control group were intraperitoneally injected with edaravone injection(6 mg/kg),the rats in the high-and low-dose gastrodin groups were intraperitoneally injected with 50 and 10 mg/kg gastrodin injection respectively,and the rats in the sham-operated and model groups were intraperitoneally injected with the equal volume of physiological saline.After 14 days of continuous treatment in each group,the pathological changes in rat brain tissue were observed,and the positive expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and the expression of inflammatory response-related proteins and their mRNAs were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham-operated group,the volume of cerebral infarction became larger in the model group;the structure of brain tissue was loose,irregular cavities could be observed,and the number of neurons was reduced and irregularly arranged;the positive expression of NLRP3 inflammasome increased(P<0.01);and the protein and mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4,myeloid differentiation factor 88,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-recruitment domain,Caspase-1,and interleukin-1β increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the volume of cerebral infarction became smaller in the high-and low-dose gastrodin groups;the neurons were regularly arranged,increased in number,and uniformly distributed;the positive expression of NLRP3 inflammasome was decreased(P<0.05);the protein and mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4,myeloid differentiation factor 88,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-recruitment domain,Caspase-1,and interleukin-1β were decreased in the high-dose gastrodin group(P<0.01);Toll-like receptor 4 protein expression showed no significant changes in the low-dose gastrodin group,and the protein and mRNA expression of the other inflammatory response-associated factors decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).To conclude,gastrodin attenuates inflammatory injury in ischemic stroke rats,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory response-associate factor expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of blood flow restriction combined with low-intensity plyometric jump training(LI-PJT+BFR)on lower limb dynamic postural control of functional ankle instability(FAI)in college students. Methods From March to May,2023,40 FAI college students were recruited from Xi'an Physical Education University,and randomly divided into high-intensity plyometric jump training(HI-PJT,n = 14)group,low-intensity plyomet-ric jump training(LI-PJT,n = 13)group and LI-PJT+BFR group(n = 13).All the groups finished the six-week corresponding training.The maximum voluntary isometric contraction(MVIC)of tibialis anterior,peroneus lon-gus,lateral head of gastrocnemius,gluteus maximus,vastus lateralis,biceps femoris and semitendinosus were measured,and the root mean square(RMS)of electromyography of these muscles was measured during the sin-gle-leg landing(SLL),using wireless surface electromyography before and after intervention.Moreover,they were assessed with Y-balance test and Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool(CAIT). Results MVIC and RMS of the target muscles improved after intervention in all the groups(t>2.218,P<0.05),except MVIC and RMS of peroneus longus,gluteus maximus,biceps femoris and semitendinosus in LI-PJT group,and RMS of peroneus longus in LI-PJT+BFR group;and MVIC and RMS of the target muscles were the least in LI-PJT group(F>3.262,P<0.05),except those of peroneus longus.The extension scores of Y-balance test and the total score improved after intervention(t>2.485,P<0.05),and they were the least in LI-PJT group(F>5.042,P<0.05).The CAIT score improved after intervention(t>5.227,P<0.001),and it was the least in LI-PJT group(F = 4.640,P<0.05). Conclusion LI-PJT+BFR could improve lower limb dynamic postural control of FAI college students,which is similar to HI-PJT.

Objective:
To explore the effects of community building environment and sports with fitness APP usage and their interactions on teachers exercise habits in the Yangtze River Delta Region, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of a sports and health promotion intervention program for teachers.
Methods:
A total of 2 530 in service teachers from four provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta region, namely, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui Province, were sampled in May-June 2023 by using convenient cluster random sampling method. Self designed questionnaire was used to collect the basic information of the surveyed teachers, Physical Activity Building Environment Evaluation Questionnaire and the Sports with Fitness APP Usage Questionnaire were used to measure the teachers subjective perception of the community building environment and the usage of sports with fitness APP, respectively. Physical Exercise Habituation Scale was used to assess the level of exercise habits. Logistic regression models were applied to analyze the effects of community building environment and sports with fitness APP usage on physical exercise, and the interaction effects were analyzed by using additive and multiplicative models.
Results:
Among all the teachers surveyed, 658 of them reported good physical exercise habits (26.0%), and differences in the rate of physical activity habit formation by gender, age, years of teaching, as well as subject of teaching were statistically significant ( χ 2=42.94, 39.73, 35.47, 218.23 , P <0.05). Teachers with physical exercise habits had significantly higher community building environment scores and sports and fitness APP use than teachers without exercise habits ( t =12.17,16.54, P <0.05). Adjusting for the confounders of age, gender, years of teaching experience, and subjects taught, multifactorial unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of teachers having good physical exercise habits increased by 22% for every 1-point increase in the community building environment score on average ( OR =1.22, 95% CI =1.11-1.40), and the probability of teachers having good physical exercise habits increased by 16% for every 1-point increase in the sports with fitness APP score on average ( OR = 1.16 , 95% CI =1.03-1.31) ( P <0.05). Interaction analyses showed that there was an additive interaction between the effects of community building environment and sports and fitness APP use on teachers physical exercise habits after adjustment, and the 95% CI for RERI , API and SI were 1.17 -1.65, 0.12-0.46 and 1.78-3.33 ( P <0.05), respectively, and there was no multiplicative interaction ( P >0.05).
Conclusions
The community building environment and the usage of sports & fitness APP show impacts in the formation of teachers physical exercise habits in the Yangtze River Delta region, and there is an interaction effect. Enhancing the construction of smart sports centers around the community can provide a high quality external environment for the physical exercise habits formation.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of low back work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers in a container manufacturing factory, and to explore the influencing factors.Methods:In June 2022, 952 workers from a container factory were selected as the research objects by cluster random sampling. Through questionnaire survey, the incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms among workers in the past one year was collected, and the influencing factors of low back WMSDs were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:The incidence rate of low back WMSDs was 46.7% (445/952). The factors with higher exposure at work were frequent slight bending (77.0%, 733/952), frequent overtime (74.1%, 705/952), and the need to turn around while working (62.3%, 593/952). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age over 40 years old, smoking, drinking, often bending over slightly, sitting for a long time, maintaining a large bending posture for a long time, often working overtime, limited operating space, and there was always a need to complete conflicting things in the container manufacturing factory workers were the risks of increasing the low back WMSDs ( OR=1.68, 1.96, 2.47, 1.49, 1.84, 2.11, 1.90, 1.82, 2.00, P<0.05). Standing at work, always friendly colleagues, and always supportive and helpful leaders were protective factors for low back WMSDs ( OR=0.60, 0.32, 0.40, P<0.05) . Conclusion:The incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms in container manufacturing workers is high, and work-related factors such as frequent slight bending, long time holding large bending posture and limited operating space are the focus of ergonomic intervention in container manufacturing enterprises.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fronto-orbital plasty using premature frontal suture osteotomy with frontoparietal transposition for the treatment of metopic synostosis.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with metopic synostosis who were treated in the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, Children’ s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2015 to October 2023 with fronto-orbital plasty, which involved premature frontal suture osteotomy with frontoparietal transposition. The frontal and parietal bones were divided into two bones, then the supraorbital bridge was cut off and the premature frontal suture was removed. The parietal bone block was then placed on the upper edge of the orbital bone, followed by the placement of the two pieces of the frontal bone on the upper edge of the parietal bone. Finally, all bone blocks were secured using absorbable plates. Pre-and post-operative CT scans and reconstructions were performed to measure changes in cranial cavity volume, and complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, infection, and recurrence of metopic synostosis were followed up.Results:A total of 5 patients with metopic synostosis were enrolled, 4 males and 1 female, aged 5 to 14 months. The operation time was 4.5 to 5.5 hours, and the intraoperative blood loss was 50 to 150 ml. All patients completed the treatment without serious complications. The cranial cavity volume increased by 48.53 to 172.00 cm 3 after the operation. Follow-up was conducted for 3 to 6 months, and the trigonocephaly was completely improved without any serious complications. Short-term follow-up indicated stable craniofacial morphology. Conclusion:Fronto-orbital plasty using premature frontal suture osteotomy with frontoparietal transposition is an effective and safe treatment for metopic synostosis. The procedure has a low risk of recurrence and complications, and the result are positive. Recurrence was scarce in the short term, and the long-term situation needs to be observed.

Background::The incidence rate of lung cancer in women has significantly increased over the past decade, and previous evidence has indicated a significant relationship between the elevated levels of sex hormones and the risk of lung cancer. Therefore, we hypothesized that female hormone-related cancer (FHRC) patients, including breast, endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer patients, may experience a higher risk of developing subsequent lung cancer. This meta-analysis aimed to identify the risk of lung cancer among FHRC patients compared to the general population.Methods::The PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and CNKI databases were searched up to May 11, 2022. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to identify the risk of subsequent lung cancer after FHRC. Subgroup analyses based on the follow-up time and tumor type were also conducted.Results::A total of 58 retrospective cohort studies involving 4,360,723 FHRC participants were included. The pooled results demonstrated that FHRC patients had a significantly increased risk of developing subsequent primary lung cancer (SIR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.48-1.76, P <0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed an obvious trend of increasing lung cancer risk over time (SIRs for <5 years, ≥5 years, ≥10 years, ≥20 years, and ≥30 years after FHRC: 1.32, 1.59, 1.57, 1.68, and 1.95, respectively). In addition, subgroup analysis stratified by tumor type indicated an increased risk of developing subsequent lung cancer after breast (SIR = 1.25, P <0.001), endometrial (SIR = 1.40, P = 0.019), cervical (SIR = 2.56, P <0.001), and ovarian cancer (SIR = 1.50, P = 0.010). Conclusion::FHRC patients are more likely to develop lung cancer than the general population. Furthermore, the increased risk of subsequent primary lung cancer is more obvious with a longer survival time and is observed in all types of hormone-related cancer.Registration::International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols: No. INPLASY202270044; https://inplasy.com/
