Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, remains poorly understood regarding how its polygenic risk score (PRS) impacts functional networks and symptomology. This study capitalized on data from 11,430 children in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study to explore the interplay between PRS_ADHD, brain function, and behavioral problems, along with their interactive effects. The results showed that children with a higher PRS_ADHD exhibited more severe attention deficits and rule-breaking problems, and experienced sleep disturbances, particularly in initiating and maintaining sleep. We also identified the central executive network, default mode network, and sensory-motor network as the functional networks most associated with PRS and symptoms in ADHD cases, with potential mediating roles. Particularly, the impact of PRS_ADHD was enhanced in children experiencing heightened sleep disturbances, emphasizing the need for early intervention in sleep issues to potentially mitigate subsequent ADHD symptoms.

Aim To investigate the neuroprotective effect of dioscin(DIO)on hippocampal neurons(HT22)after oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygen-ation(OGD/R)and its possible mechanism.Methods HT22 cells were treated with 0,2.5,5,10,20,40,80,160,and 320 mg·L-1DIO for 24 h,and the cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 method.The concentration that was non-toxic to HT 2 2 cells was se-lected for subsequent experiments.After OGD for 2 h,HT22 cells were randomly divided into the OGD/R group,1.25,2.5,and 5 mg·L-1DIO group,and posi-tive control group.HT22 cells were taken as the con-trol group.After drug intervention for 24 h,the cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 method;the LDH release was detected by colorimetry;the cell ap-optosis rate was detected by TUNEL method;the ex-pression of proteins related to PARP-1/AIF pathway and caspase pathway was detected by Western blot.Results DIO intervention significantly upregulated the expression of AIF protein in mitochondria and PAR protein in nucleus of HT22 cells after OGD/R,and sig-nificantly downregulated the release of LDH,neuronal apoptosis rate,total protein expression of AIF and PAR,PARP-1,AIF in nucleus and protein expression of PAR protein in mitochondria,while the expression of Bax and caspase-3 proteins was not significantly differ-ent from that in the OGD/R group.Conclusion DIO can alleviate the apoptosis of HT22 cells induced by OGD/R by regulating the expression and translocation of proteins related to the PARP-1/AIF pathway,thus playing a neuroprotective role.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacies of extrapleural internal fixation and transthoracic internal fixation in the treat-ment of thoracic tuberculosis.Methods A total of 70 patients with thoracic tuberculosis(T4 to T10)who were admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2023 were enrolled,and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The 35 patients treated with extrapleural internal fixation were included in the extrapleural group,and the other 35 patients treated with transthoracic internal fixation were included in the transthoracic group.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,bone graft fusion time,kyphotic angle before and after operation,visual analogue scale(VAS)and Oswestry disability index(ODI)scores after operation,postoperative complications and recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the transthoracic group,the operation time and bone graft fusion time were significantly shortened,and the intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced in the extrapleural group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The postoperative kyphotic angles of the two groups were smaller than those before operation,the postoperative kyphotic angle of the extrapleural group was smaller than that of the transthoracic group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS score 7 days after operation of the extrapleural group was lower than that of the transthoracic group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The ODI score 1 month after operation of the extrapleural group was lower than that of the transthoracic group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the extrapleural group(0)was lower than that in the transthoracic group(34.28%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Extrapleural internal fixation has the advantages of short time,less bleeding and less trauma in the treatment of thoracic tuberculosis,but it is difficult to completely remove the lesions.Transthoracic internal fixation can completely remove the lesion,but the surgical trauma is large.The choice of clinical operation plan should be comprehensively considered according to the specific condition of the patients,the location of the lesion,and the condition of the lung,so as to achieve the best treatment effect.

Objective To establish two osteoarthritis models of destabilization of the medial meniscus(DMM)and chronic ankle instability(CAI)in mice,and compare the effects of knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity on ipsilateral ankle cartilage degeneration.Methods Thirty 6-week-old C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into a control group and two surgical groups(DMM group and CAI group),respectively.The progression of ankle joint degeneration was quantitatively evaluated through behavioral observation,imaging techniques and histopathology analysis in each group of mice over a 12-week period.Results A decline in gait stability and balance was observed in two surgical groups.Compared to the control group,the time required to cross the balance beam was increased by 23.20％,and the number of slips was increased by 43.26％at 12th week postoperatively in the DMM group.The bone volume fraction and bone mineral density of ankle joints also increased.Meanwhile,wear and tear of the ankle cartilage were found,with the formation of osteophytes,and OARSI score was increased by 88.89％.These changes in ankle joint were more pronounced in the CAI group.Conclusions This mouse model-based study revealed a coupling relationship between the knee and ankle motion.Knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity could lead to a significant ankle joint degeneration,while the damage was less severe than that observed in CAI.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.
