OBJECTIVE To analyze trends in the burden of disease associated with falls from 1990 to 2023, identify risk factors for falls, and provide a reference for the development of measures to reduce the burden of disease associated with falls and the formulation of public health policies. METHODS Based on the data of 2023 from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, the changes in fall-related prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and incidence in China and globally from 1990 to 2023 were analyzed, and the stratified analyses by gender, age and socio-demographic index (SDI) were conducted. The risk factors related to falls in 2023 were systematically analyzed, and the impact of multimorbidity and polypharmacy on the occurrence of falls by combining relevant literature evidence was explored. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Globally, the percentage changes in age-standardized rates of fall-related prevalence, mortality, DALYs and incidence from 1990 to 2023 were -2.4% (95%UI: -4.8% to -0.3%), -7.8% (95%UI: -20.5% to 10.9%), -10.6% (95%UI: -16.5% to -4.3%), and -4.6% (95%UI: -8.1% to -0.8%), respectively. However, in some regions, the percentage changes in age-standardized rates for these indicators were greater than 0 (e.g., prevalence, mortality and DALYs in Australasia, and incidence in Andean Latin America). In China, the percentage changes in age-standardized rates of fall-related mortality and DALYs from 1990 to 2023 were -18.3% (95%UI: -56.7% to 32.3%) and 1.9% (95%UI: -10.1% to 12.4%), while the percentage changes in age-standardized rates of prevalence and incidence were 25.9% (95%UI: 20.2% to 32.0%) and 35.7% (95%UI: 28.5% to 44.1%), respectively. Globally, in regions with high and medium-to-high SDI levels, the percentage changes in age-standardized rates of fall-related prevalence and incidence showed an upward trend, while DALYs showed a downward trend; however, the trend in mortality was unclear. In regions with a middle SDI level, the percentage changes in age-standardized rates of fall-related prevalence and incidence both showed an upward trend, while the trends in mortality and DALYs were unclear. In regions with low-to-medium SDI level, the percentage changes in age-standardized rate of fall-related prevalence, DALYs and incidence all showed a downward trend, while the trend in mortality was unclear; in regions with low SDI level, the trends for all above indicators were unclear. Correlation analyses of the burden of fall-related diseases in China and globally indicated that the risk of fall-related diseases was higher among younger and middle-to-older adult male populations, while women were concentrated in older age groups. Meanwhile, as the SDI levels increase, the percentage change in age-standardized rate of DALYs for fall-related diseases showed a clear upward trend, and this trend was more pronounced in high-SDI regions. Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, low bone density, and occupational risks were risk factors for falls, with low bone density and occupational risks contributing significantly (exceeding 20% in some regions); multimorbidity and polypharmacy could also significantly increase the risk of falls. It is recommended that clinical settings establish a list of fall-risk increasing drugs and a warning system, improve medication reviews, strengthen medication education and adherence management, foster multidisciplinary collaboration, and develop medication strategies for specific patient populations to reduce the incidence of falls and alleviate the burden of disease.

Objective:To compare the consistency of lymphoma multigene detection panels based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) with FISH detection of B-cell lymphoma gene rearrangement.Methods:From January 2019 to May 2023, fusion genes detected by lymphoma-related 413 genes that targeted capture sequencing of 489 B-cell lymphoma tissues embedded in paraffin were collected from Henan Cancer Hospital, and the results were compared with simultaneous FISH detection of four break/fusion genes: BCL2, BCL6, MYC, and CCND1. Consistency was defined as both methods yielding positive or negative results for the same sample. The relationship between fusion mutation abundance in NGS and the positivity rate of cells in FISH was also analyzed.Results:Kappa consistency analysis revealed high consistency between NGS and FISH in detecting the four B-cell lymphoma-related gene rearrangement ( P<0.001 for all) ; however, the detection rates of positive individuals differed for the four genes. Compared with FISH, NGS demonstrated a higher detection rate for BCL2 rearrangement, a lower detection rate for BCL6 and MYC rearrangement, and a similar detection rate for CCND1 rearrangement. No correlation was found between fusion mutation abundance in NGS and the positivity rate of cells in FISH. Conclusions:NGS and FISH detection of B-cell lymphoma gene rearrangement demonstrate overall good consistency. NGS is superior to FISH in detecting BCL2 rearrangement, inferior in detecting MYC rearrangement, and comparable in detecting CCND1 rearrangement.

ObjectiveTo explore the related factors of troublemaking behaviors among patients with mental disorders induced by amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), and to provide references for the formulation of relevant intervention measures for ATS-induced mental disorders. MethodsA total of 105 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for ATS-induced mental disorders were included, and classified into troublemaking group and non-troublemaking group. The general demographic data and clinical data of the selected individuals were collected, and all patients were assessed using Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Then univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to screen the related factors of troublemaking behaviors. ResultsThe scores of SSRS, objective support dimension and social support utilization dimension were significantly lower in troublemaking group than those in non-troublemaking group, with statistical differences [(24.10±6.59) vs. (28.94±5.59), t=3.364, P=0.001; (5.50±1.96) vs. (8.20±2.13), t=5.183, P<0.01; (4.60±2.26) vs. (6.28±1.90), t=3.435, P=0.001]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=6.061, P=0.014) was a risk factor, while high social support level (OR=0.873, P=0.018) was the protective factor for troublemaking behaviors among patients with ATS-induced mental disorders. ConclusionPatients with ATS-induced mental disorders of the males and with low social support level are at high risk of troublemaking behaviors.

OBJECTIVETo detect mutations of ATP2A2 gene in a pedigree and a sporadic case with Darier disease (DD) and explore the underlying molecular mechanism.
METHODSClinical data of the pedigree and the sporadic case were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of four members from the pedigree (including three patients and one healthy member), the sporadic case and 100 healthy controls. PCR was performed to amplify all coding exons of the ATP2A2 gene. And the products were directly sequenced to detect mutations.
RESULTSA missense mutation c.1484C>T (p.S495L) in exon 12 was detected in all patients of the pedigree. For the sporadic case, a novel splicing mutation c.325-2A>G was detected at the junction between intron 4 and exon 5. The same mutations were not found in the 100 healthy controls.
CONCLUSIONMutations of the ATP2A2 gene may lead to the occurrence of DD in both familial and sporadic cases with DD.

Objective To observe the molecular mechanism of adaptive response of the kidney and skeleton and brain issues in the high altitude hypoxia; To discuss the unity of yin and yang oscillation relationship of kidney and brain marrow.Methods SPF KM mice were randomly divided into control group and model group according to random number table method. Mice in the model group were exposed to high altitude hypoxia cabin for successive 21 d. On the 22nd day, mice got out of the cabin and their body weight was measured, and then they were put to death through eyeball blood sampling. The activities of lactic LDH and Na+-K+-ATPase in brain tissue were detected by spectrophotometric colorimetry. The PFK activities of brain and skeletal muscle were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile the contents of EPO and EPOR in the kidney were measured by ELISA. The mRNA expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-4 in brain were assessed by RT-PCR. At the same time, the protein expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-1 in brain and the protein expression of Mb in skeletal muscle were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group, the LDH and PFK in brain tissue and the content of EPO in kidney tissue were all raised in the model group(P<0.05). Meanwhile the mRNA expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-4 and the protein expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-1 in brain were all increased in the mice from the model group; the activities of PFK and the protein expression of Mb in skeletal muscle were also raised in the model group. But the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in brain tissue and the content of EPOR in kidney tissue both decreased in the model group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Adaptive response and the unity of yin and yang oscillation relationship between kidney, skeleton and brain tissue happen in high altitude hypoxia.
