ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

ObjectiveTo develop and preliminarily validate a prediction model for brace treatment failure risk in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), based on information obtained before brace treatment and during initial brace fitting. MethodsA total of 191 patients with AIS who initiated thoracolumbosacral orthosis treatment at Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March, 2015 to August, 2024 and had determinable outcomes were retrospectively included. Patients were divided according to a prespecified scheme into a training set (n = 133) and a validation set (n = 58). Brace treatment failure was defined as progression of the major-curve Cobb angle by ≥ 5° from baseline during follow-up or at brace weaning, or a final major-curve Cobb angle > 45°. Logistic regression, random forest, support vector machine with radial basis function kernel, and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were developed using routinely available clinical and radiographic variables before brace treatment and during initial brace fitting. Stratified five-fold cross-validation was used for hyperparameter tuning in the training set. Model performance was evaluated in the validation set using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC), Brier score, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) was used to interpret the main explanatory model. ResultsIn cross-validation of the training set, both random forest and XGBoost showed good discriminative performance, with cross-validation-AUC values of 0.871 and 0.880, respectively. In the validation set, the AUC values of random forest and XGBoost were 0.888 and 0.899, the AUPRC values were 0.678 and 0.830, and the Brier scores were 0.086 and 0.076, respectively. Random forest was selected as the primary model for interpretation, with a calibration intercept of 0.091 and a calibration slope of 0.995. SHAP analysis indicated that the in-brace correction rate and the major-curve Cobb angle measured in the brace contributed most to the model predictions. ConclusionThe random forest model developed using routinely available pretreatment and initial-fitting variables shows preliminary predictive value for brace treatment failure risk in AIS, and may provide quantitative support for follow-up scheduling, brace-fit reassessment and early adherence-oriented management.

Background Both productive dust and noise are occupational hazards, and each can induce changes in blood glucose levels among workers. Objective To explore the potential interactive effects of exposure to productive dust and noise on the risk of hyperglycemia among automobile manufacturing workers. Methods Using a cluster sampling method, workers undergoing occupational health examination from three automobile manufacturing plants in Wuhan in 2022 were selected. Basic information was collected using a questionnaire designed by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Exposure history was obtained through occupational history interviews. Clinic indicators such as blood pressure, blood lipids, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and fatty liver status, were retrieved from examination records. Hyperglycemia was defined as FBG > 6.1 mmol·L^-1. Logistic regression models analyzed the independent effects of occupational noise and dust exposure, while additive and multiplicative interaction models assessed their interactive effects on hyperglycemia. Results The prevalence of hyperglycemia among the 1223 participants was 7.7%. Logistic regression showed that using workers without exposure as reference, the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for hyperglycemia among workers exposed only to dust, only to noise, and to both were 2.15 (1.90, 4.23), 2.23 (1.40, 5.08), and 3.75 (1.95, 7.24), respectively. A linear association was observed between the duration of noise exposure and blood glucose levels (P<0.05). Interaction analysis showed no multiplicative interaction or additive interaction. Conclusion Exposure to productive dust and noise are independent risk factors for hyperglycemia among workers. While both contribute to increased risk, no significant synergistic interaction is observed.

Objective To evaluate the drug-loading performance,biocompatibility,bone tissue compati-bility,and therapeutic efficacy of vancomycin(VA)-loaded hydroxyapatite(HA)/β-tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP)scaffolds in treating infectious bone defects in mice.Methods HA/β-TCP scaffolds were fabricated by using 3D printing technology,and VA was loaded onto the scaffolds via freeze-drying to create the composite VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds.The scaffolds were observed by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and their encapsulation efficiency,drug-loading capacity,and release kinetics were assessed.An in vitro co-culture system was established with mouse embryonic osteoblasts(MC3T3-E1)and the scaffolds,The cells were di-vided into the control group(HA/β-TCP scaffolds)and the VA/HA/β-TCP group.Cell viability was assessed by using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay,and osteocalcin(OCN)expression levels were meas-ured by ELISA at 7,12,and 14 days of co-culture.Antibacterial activity was evaluated through adhesion ex-periments.A mouse cranial defect model was constructed and implanted with the scaffolds for 4 weeks.Hema-toxylin and eosin(HE)staining was performed to observe material degradation and bone formation in the sur-rounding tissues.Results The VA/HA/β TCP scaffolds exhibited uniform pore size distribution and excel-lent drug-loading performance,with an encapsulation efficiency of 70.32％and an actual drug-loading rate of 30.53％,effectively loading VA.The scaffolds sustained VA release over 36 hours.Compared to the control group,MC3T3-E1 cell viability on the VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds was significantly inhibited at 7 and 12 days of co-culture(P＜0.01),but no significant difference in proliferation activity was observed between the two groups after 14 days(P＞0.05).No significant differences in OCN expression levels were found in MC3T3-E1 cells on the VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds compared to the control group at any time point(P＞0.05).The VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds demonstrated strong antibacterial properties,with significantly reduced numbers of Escherichia coli in the co-cultured bacterial solution and on the scaffold surface compared to the control group(P＜0.001).Compared with the control group,the VA/HA/β-TCP group demonstrated significantly reduced cranial hemorrhage and inflammatory infiltration,alongside a marked increase in new bone tissue.Conclusion The VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds exhibit excellent drug-loading performance,controlled drug re-lease,biocompatibility,antibacterial activity,and bone tissue compatibility,offering a novel approach for trea-ting bone infections.

Objective To analyze the clinical value of plasma insulin-like factor 6(INSL6)in predicting the risk of acute aortic syndromes(AAS)and adverse outcomes.Methods A retrospective case-control trial was conducted on 194 AAS patients admitted to Department of Cardiovascular Diseases of Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University between April 2021 and June 2023.Another 194 sex-,age-and BMI-matched individuals without aortic diseases were recruited from the health examination center between December 2021 and January 2024.Their plasma INSL6 level was measured with ELISA,and the general clinical data and results of some laboratory tests were collected and compared between the 2 groups.Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between plasma INSL6 and other variables,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of INSL6 for AAS occurrence,multivariate conditional logistic regression model was utilized to analyze the association between plasma INSL6 and AAS onset,and Kaplan-Meier survival curve and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was applied to analyze the relationship between acute-phase plasma INSL6 level and adverse prognosis in AAS patients.Results The plasma INSL6 level was significantly higher in AAS patients at acute phase than the control individuals[704.40(481.32～1 152.62)vs 141.24(107.60～163.72)pg/mL,P<0.001],but no statistical difference was observed in the level among the patients with different AAS subtypes(aortic dissection,intramural hematoma,and penetrating aortic ulcer).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the plasma INSL6 level was positively correlated with platelet count(r=0.325,P<0.001)and hemoglobin concentration(r=0.186,P=0.009),and negatively with IL-6(r=-0.182,P=0.011),INF-γ(r=-0.283,P<0.001),and D-dimer levels(r=-0.195,P=0.006).Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis revealed that plasma INSL6 level was independently associated with the occurrence of AAS(OR=28.634,95%CI:7.267～112.820,P<0.001).ROC curve analysis further confirmed that the optimal cutoff value of plasma INSL6 in predicting AAS was 259.425 pg/mL,with a sensitivity of 95.9%and a specificity of 98.5%at this threshold.Kaplan-Meier curve analysis demonstrated that AAS patients with low INSL6 level had significantly lower cumulative survival rates(P=0.020)and event-free survival rates(P=0.004)than those with high INSL6 level(P<0.05).Multivariate COX regression analysis revealed that,after adjusting for sex,age,systolic blood pressure,ST classification,and surgical treatment,acute-phase INSL6 level was independently associated with all-cause mortality(HR:0.999,95%CI:0.999～1.000,P=0.023),AAS-related mortality(HR:0.999,95%CI:0.998～1.000,P=0.012),and composite endpoint events(HR:0.999,95%CI:0.999～1.000,P=0.026)in AAS patients during follow-up.Conclusion Plasma INSL6 level is closely associated with the occurrence and adverse prognosis of AAS,and the indicator is expected to be an effective biomarker for diagnosing AAS and predicting its prognosis.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of 3D-printed interbody fusion cage applied in anterior cervical decompression and bone graft fusion for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Methods A total of 100 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent anterior cervical fusion surgery in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects,they were randomly divided into the 3D group and the control group according to the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.Patients in the 3D group were implanted with a 3D-printed interbody fusion cage which was made of microporous metal materials,while patients in the control group were implanted with intervertebral fusion cage which was made of polyetheretherketone material.The surgery-related indicators,cervical imaging parameters,cervical spinal cord function,cervical axial function and surgical complications of patients between the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss or length of hospital stay of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The height of the cervical fusion segments and the Cobb angle of the fusion segments of patients in both groups at each time point after the operation were significantly increased compared with those before the operation(P<0.05).The height of the cervical fusion segments and the Cobb angle of the fusion segments of patients 1 month,3 months,and 6 months after the operation in the 3D group were all greater than those in the control group(P>0.05).The subjective symptom score and the total score of the Japanese orthopaedic association(JOA)of patients 6 months after the operation in the 3D group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The cervical axial function of patients 6 months after the operation in the 3D group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of surgical complications in the 3D group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The use of 3D-printed interbody fusion cage during the anterior cervical decompression and bone graft fusion for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients,achieve better cervical axial function,and have fewer complications.

Aim To investigate the effect of chrysoeriol on pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hyper-tension by animal experiments combined with cell ex-periments,and to explore its potential therapeutic tar-gets by network pharmacology.Methods The target of chrysoeriol was collected in Targetnet,SEA and SwissTargetPrediction database.Pulmonary arterial hy-pertension(PAH)targets were collected in the Dis-GeNET and GeneCards databases,and PPI network map was drawn in the STRING database,and key tar-gets were screened.The GO and KEGG pathway en-richment analysis was carried out through DAVID data-base and Weishengxing platform.AutoDock software was used for molecular docking of key core targets.The PAH model of rats was constructed,and the pulmo-nary hemodynamics and vascular remodeling were de-tected by echocardiography,HE and Masson staining.Primary pulmonary smooth muscle cells were extracted,and the effects of drugs on pathway proteins were de-tected in vitro.Results The results of network phar-macology showed that chrysoeriol exerted therapeutic effects on pulmonary hypertension by affecting key tar-gets such as AKT1,SRC,EGFR,MMP9 and gsk3 β,and signaling pathways such as EGFR and PI3K-AKT.Molecular docking showed that chrysoeriol had good binding ability with 5 key target genes.Animal experi-ments showed that the pulmonary hemodynamic func-tion of PAH rats was significantly improved after ad-ministration of chrysoeriol.The remodeling of small pulmonary arteries was significantly reduced.Cell ex-periments showed that chrysoeriol could inhibit the ex-pression of proliferation,migration and phenotypic transformation genes.Conclusion Chrysoeriol may play a role in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension through multiple targets.

To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the mechanosensitive ion channel PI-EZO2 in osteoarthritis(OA),we developed a lentiviral vector for endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression and established a stable PIEZO2-high-expressing immortalized human primary chondrocyte line.By map-ping the open reading frame of the PIEZO2 locus and designing sequence-specific sgRNA,we employed the CRISPR/Cas9 synergistic activation mediator(SAM)system to precisely integrate transcriptional ac-tivation elements into the PIEZO2 promoter region.Lentiviral-mediated targeted genomic integration en-sured endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression,confirmed by mCherry fluorescence tracing coupled with flow cytometric sorting,which revealed membrane-specific localization of PIEZO2 protein(localization effi-ciency:78.49％).Quantitative PCR demonstrated a 17-fold upregulation of PIEZO2 mRNA,while Western blotting validated enhanced membrane-localized protein expression.Strikingly,PIEZO2-overex-pressing chondrocytes exhibited hallmark OA metabolic phenotypes compared to wild-type controls:typeⅡ collagen mRNA expression decreased to 50％of baseline levels,whereas matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP13)mRNA surged by 20-fold.These alterations recapitulated the pathological matrix metabolic phenotype observed in biomechanical OA models induced by cyclic mechanical stress(10％strain,0.5 Hz,8 h/day for 2 consecutive days).Collectively,we successfully generated a human chondrocyte model with stable PIEZO2 overexpression,which faithfully mirrors mechanotransduction-driven OA progression.This engineered cellular system provides a robust platform for dissecting PIEZO2-mediated mechanosig-naling networks and advancing targeted therapeutic discovery.
