Objective:To investigate the association between small vulnerable newborn (SVN) phenotypes and the risk of neurodevelopmental delay at the age of 1 year.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 25 860 singleton infants from "The Born in Guangzhou Cohort Study" who completed the Gesell developmental scale assessment at 1 year of age between January 2013 and June 2025 were included. Maternal sociodemographic characteristics, and other information were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, and maternal pregnancy-related information and neonatal birth data were extracted from medical records. Global developmental delay (GDD) was defined as a developmental quotient below 86 in ≥3 domains of the Gesell developmental scale, which assesses the adaptive, gross motor, fine motor, language, and personal-social domains. The random forest algorithm was employed for missing data imputation. Based on prematurity, small for gestational age (SGA), and low birth weight (LBW), newborns were categorized into 6 phenotypes: preterm-SGA-LBW, preterm-appropriate for gestational age (AGA)-LBW, preterm-AGA-nonLBW, term-SGA-LBW, term-LBW-only or term-SGA-only, and term-AGA-nonLBW phenotype. Among these, the first 5 were classified as SVN phenotypes, and the last one served as the reference group. Inter-group comparisons were performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), χ2 tests, or Kruskal-Wallis test, as appropriate.?? Multivariable robust Poisson regression models were applied to analyze the association of different SVN phenotypes with the risks of GDD and developmental delays in specific domains, with stratified analyses by sex. Results:Among the 25 860 infants, 13 719 (53.1%) were male and 12 141 (46.9%) were female. The gestational age at birth was 39.4 (38.6, 40.0) weeks. The overall detection rate of GDD at 1 year of age was 3.7% (962/25 860). The rates of delay across developmental domains, in descending order, language in 8 134 cases (31.5%), gross motor in 4 488 cases (17.4%), personal-social in 1 271 cases (4.9%), adaptive in 1 262 cases (4.9%), and fine motor in 621 cases (2.4%). Compared with the reference group, preterm-AGA-LBW, preterm-SGA-LBW, preterm-AGA-noneLBW, and term-SGA-LBW phenotypes were all associated with an increased risk of GDD, with the adjusted RR (95% CI) of 6.07(5.01-7.35), 4.81(3.11-7.46), 2.10(1.54-2.88) and 1.89(1.29-2.76) respectively.The preterm-AGA-noneLBW phenotype was all associated with an increased risk of delay in gross motor, language and personal-social functional domains (all P<0.05). The term-SGA-LBW phenotype was associated with an increased risk of delay in gross motor, fine motor and personal-social functional domains (all P<0.01). Whereas the term-LBW-only or term-SGA-only phenotype showed no statistically association with developmental delay in any functional domain (all P≥0.05). Conclusion:The combined classification based on gestational age and birth weight helps identify infants at high risk for neurodevelopmental delay at 1 year of age, suggesting that it may offer a reference for the rational allocation of clinical resources.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of the pelvic unlocking reduction device in assisting closed reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of AO/OTA 61-C3 type pelvic fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 27 patients with AO/OTA 61-C3 pelvic fractures treated with the pelvic unlocking reduction device-assisted reduction and internal fixation between January 2020 and January 2024 in Fourth Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital. The cohort included 11 males and 16 females, with a mean age of 30.2±13.9 years (range, 13-55 years). The time from injury to surgery was 16.0 (10.0, 28.0) d (range, 6-175 d). According to the AO/OTA classification, there were 8 cases of type 61-C3.1, 10 cases of type C3.2, and 9 cases of type C3.3. Among them, 10 patients presented with associated lumbosacral nerve injuries, classified as Gibbons grade II in 5 cases, grade III in 1 case, and grade IV in 4 cases. All patients underwent closed reduction and internal fixation assisted by the pelvic unlocking reduction device. Postoperative outcomes were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, the Majeed pelvic score, and the Harris hip score. Fracture reduction quality was evaluated using the Matta criteria, and overall health status was assessed using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).Results:All patients successfully underwent the surgery and were followed up for 31.6±12.3 months (range, 12-48 months). The fracture reduction time was 33.45±12.18 min, the total operative time was 283.0±87.9 min, the number of fluoroscopies was 71.33±32.77, and the intraoperative blood loss was 314.1±252.6 ml. At the 12-month postoperative assessment, VAS score was 1.78±0.85, Majeed pelvic score was 87.52±15.03; SF-36 score was 88.93±11.27; and Harris Hip Score was 90.59±11.43. All patients achieved an "excellent" rating according to the Matta radiographic assessment criteria at 12 months postoperatively. Fracture union was confirmed in all cases, with a healing time of 2.9±0.4 months (range, 2.5-3.5 months). No postoperative complications such as shock, nonunion, delayed union, surgical site infection, implant loosening, or deep vein thrombosis were observed. Three patients experienced numbness in the lateral thigh region postoperatively, which was attributed to lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury. The symptoms resolved completely following removal of the INFIX internal fixator.Conclusion:The pelvic unlocking reduction device-assisted closed reduction and internal fixation demonstrates safety and efficacy in treating AO/OTA 61-C3 type pelvic fractures, yielding satisfactory fracture union and early functional scores.

Metastasis serves as an indicator of malignancy and is a biological characteristic of carcinomas. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis and in the enhancement of tumor cell aggressiveness. Prostaglandin E synthase 3 (p23) is a cochaperone for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). Our previous study showed that p23 is an HSP90-independent transcription factor in cancer-associated inflammation. The effect and mechanism of action of p23 on lung cancer metastasis are tested in this study. By utilizing cell models in vitro and mouse tail vein metastasis models in vivo, the results provide solid evidence that p23 is critical for promoting lung cancer metastases by regulating downstream CXCL1 expression. Rather than acting independently, p23 forms a complex with RNA-binding motif protein 14 (RBM14) to facilitate EMT progression in lung cancer. Therefore, our study provides evidence for the potential role of the RBM14-p23-CXCL1-EMT axis in the metastasis of lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the interplay between childhood traumatic experiences,mental disorders,and cognitive function among patients with alcohol use disorder(AUD).Methods:A cross-sectional study was con-ducted involving 160 patients with AUD hospitalized in the department of alcohol dependence.They were catego-rized into three groups based on their symptoms,namely the simple alcohol dependence group(AD group,n=86),the alcohol dependence with hallucinatory delusion group(ADHD group,n=43),and the alcohol dependence with delirium tremens group(ADDT group,n=31).The adverse childhood experiences,cognitive function,and child-hood trauma were assessed with the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire(ACE-IQ),Mont-real Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire(CTQ-SF).Results:The MoCA scores were significantly higher in the AD group than in the ADHD and ADDT groups[21.0(19.0,23.0)vs.19.0(15.0,22.0)vs.18.0(16.0,22.0),P＜0.01].The ADDT group had higher sexual abuse scores of CTQ-SF than the AD group.Lower MoCA score was associated with hallucination and delusion(OR=0.82,P＜0.01)or deliri-um tremens(OR=0.81,P＜0.01)in AUD patients.Higher ACE-IQ score was associated with hallucination and delusion in AUD patients(OR=1.51,P＜0.01).Conclusion:Mostpatients with alcohol use disorder have child-hood trauma and cognitive dysfunction.Poor cognitive function and adverse childhood experiences are risk factors for mental disorders among patients with alcohol use disorder.

Objective:Micro-and nanostructures with sharp disordered and rounded ordered features were fabricated on titanium surfaces,respectively,and their osteogenic potential was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo.Methods:Sharp disordered titanium surfaces(SLA-Ti)and rounded ordered titanium surfaces(Laser-Ti)were prepared using sandblast acid etching and high-repeti-tion-rate femtosecond laser,respectively.Smooth titanium(Ti)was used as the control group,SLA-Ti and Laser-Ti were used as the experimental groups.Characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy coupled with hydrophilicity assess-ments.The adhesion,elongation,and osteogenic differentiation capabilities of osteoblasts in vitro were evaluated through cell mor-phology observations,cytoskeletal fluorescence staining,cell viability assays,and PCR experiments.Osteogenic potential in vivo of rabbits was assessed through Micro CT scans and histological staining(HE and Masson).Results:The surface of Laser-Ti exhibits a rounded,ordered,multi-scale micro-and nano-morphology with the best hydrophilicity(P＜0.01).In vitro,it promotes cell adhe-sion,extension,and osteogenic differentiation,while in vivo,it enhances bone regeneration around the implants.Overall,a trend of Laser-Ti＞SLA-Ti＞Ti is observed,with a higher bone volume fraction(BV/TV)(P＜0.05),greater trabecular thickness(Tb.Th)(P＜0.05),an increased number of trabeculae(Tb.N)(P＜0.05),and a larger area of bone around the implants(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The rounded ordered micro-and nano-structures fabricated using high-repetition-rate fem-tosecond laser demonstrate enhanced osteoinductive capac-ity both in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To investigate the expression and correlation of LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2 in glioblastoma (GBM), and their impacts on the prognosis of patients and immune cell infiltration. Methods Based on the GSE50161 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2, which are closely related to the development of GBM, were identified by WGCNA and differential expression analysis. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases were used to analyze the relationship between the expression of LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2 and the prognosis of GBM patients. Multiple datasets were employed to analyze the correlation between the expression levels of LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2 and its relationship with immune cell infiltration. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to verify the expression of LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2 in GBM and normal brain tissues. The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database was accessed to obtain the protein expression of KHDRBS2, and immunohistochemical staining was conducted to verify the protein expression of KHDRBS2. Results LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2 were lowly expressed in GBM tissues and were closely related to the development of GBM, showing a significant positive correlation. Patients with low expression levels of LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2 had a lower overall survival rate than those with high expression levels. LY86-AS1 was positively correlated with naive B cells, plasma cells, activated NK cells, M1 macrophages, activated mast cells and monocytes. KHDRBS2 was positively correlated with naive B cells, plasma cells, helper T cells, activated NK cells and monocytes. Conclusion The low expression levels of LY86-AS1 and KHDRBS2 in GBM, which is associated with poor prognosis, affect the tumor immune microenvironment and may serve as potential new biomarkers for the diagnosis of GBM and the prognosis assessment of patients.
