Objective:To understand the clinical characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients with renal injury after antiviral therapy in Henan Province, and to explore the risk factors of renal injury.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate HIV infection/AIDS patients receiving antiviral therapy in Zhengzhou Sixth People′s Hospital, Anyang Fifth People′s Hospital, Hebi Third People′s Hospital, Luo Yang Zhoushan Hospital and Lankao Central Hospital in Henan Province from April 1 to September 30, 2023. The clinical information including basic data, antiviral therapy regimens and comorbidities, and laboratory test results (blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, blood uric acid, urine routine, urine microalbumin, urine α 1-microglobulin (α 1-MG), urine β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG), urine retinol binding protein (RBP), urine creatinine, HIV viral load, CD4 + T lymphocyte count) were collected. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze independent risk factors for renal injury. Results:A total of 2 526 HIV infection/AIDS patients were included, with the age of (45.52±14.28) years and 2 156 (85.4%) males. The main route of transmission was sexual transmission (91.6%, 2 314/2 526). The duration of antiviral therapy was 5.00(2.92, 8.00) years. Tenofovir (TDF)+ lamivudine (3TC)+ non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) accounted for 55.3%(1 396/2 526) of the current antiviral therapy regimen. The percentage of HIV viral load <50 copies/mL was 93.0%(2 350/2 526). The CD4 + T lymphocyte count was 476(337, 645)/μL. There were 156 patients (6.2%) complicated with hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C, 205 patients (8.1%) with diabetes, 379 patients (15.0%) with hyperlipidemia, and 189 patients (7.5%) with hyperuricemia. A total of 1 040 patients (41.2%) with renal injury were found through renal function test, including 355 cases (14.1%) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/(min·1.73 m 2) or urine protein positive or urine albumin creatine ratio (UACR) ≥30 mg/g, 682 patients (27.0%) with pure tubular injury presented with only positive for urinary α 1-MG, urinary β 2-MG, or urinary RBP. eGFR< 60 mL/(min·1.73 m 2) was found in 71 cases (2.8%), eGFR from 60 to 89 mL/(min·1.73 m 2) was found in 509 cases (20.2%), and eGFR≥90 mL/(min·1.73 m 2) was found in 1 946 cases (77.0%). A total of 138 patients (5.5%) were identified as having combined chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among them, 110 patients (79.7%) were in CKD stages 1 to 2, and 117 patients (84.8%) were in urinary albumin A2 grade. Multivariate analysis of 355 patients with renal injury who had eGFR<60 mL/(min·1.73 m 2) or positive urine protein in urine routine or UACR ≥30 mg/g showed that ages of 50 to 69 years old (odds ratio( OR)=2.189, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.333 to 3.596, P=0.002)), ≥70 years old ( OR=5.190, 95% CI 2.912 to 9.248, P<0.001), female ( OR=1.685, 95% CI 1.241 to 2.286, P=0.001), combined opportunistic infection ( OR=2.521, 95% CI 1.567 to 4.056, P<0.001), combined hepatitis B ( OR=1.962, 95% CI 1.110 to 3.467, P=0.020), combined hepatitis C ( OR=1.883, 95% CI 1.043 to 3.400, P=0.036), combined diabetes ( OR=2.703, 95% CI 1.911 to 3.821, P<0.001), using TDF for two to four years ( OR=1.674, 95% CI 1.103 to 2.459, P=0.015), using TDF for greater than or equal to five years ( OR=1.880, 95% CI 1.287 to 2.746, P=0.001), using TDF combined with lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) ( OR=3.610, 95% CI 2.273 to 5.734, P<0.001) and using TDF combined with non-LPV/r ( OR=1.495, 95% CI 1.036 to 2.157, P=0.031) were the risk factors of renal injury. Conclusions:There is a high proportion of renal injury among HIV infection/AIDS patients after antiviral therapy in Henan Province, including CKD and simple renal tubular injury. Older age, female, comorbidities, and long-term use of TDF are risk factors for renal injury.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of a combined anterior and posterior approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for fused/ankylosed hip.Methods:37 patients who underwent THA for fused/ankylosed hip from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 28 males and 9 females, with an average age of 47.9±12.0 years (range, 26-72 years). Etiologies included 23 cases of ankylosing spondylitis, 9 cases of infectious arthritis of the hip in youth, and 5 cases of traumatic arthritis after acetabulum or femoral neck fracture. All patients underwent THA with combined anterior and posterior approach. These factors include operation time, blood loss, amount of transfused blood, blood transfusion rate, preoperative and postoperative Harris score, postoperative range of motion of the hip, and perioperative complications, etc. were evaluated. Postoperative radiography of the hip was performed to evaluate acetabular abduction angle, anterior inclination angle, the prosthesis fixation, osteolysis and heterotopic ossification around the hip.Results:A total of 37 patients were enrolled. The mean operative time was 147.6±16.8 min (range, 129-190 min); the mean estimated blood loss (EBL) was 850.0±10.8 ml (range, 600-1,200 ml); the blood transfusion rate was 59% (22/37), and the mean blood transfusion was 420±45.0 ml (range, 0-800 ml). All patients were followed up for 4.2±0.9 years (range, 1.2-7.2 years). The average abductor angle of the acetabular was 43.7°±5.4° (range, 31°-55°), and the average inclination angle was 20.9°±6.7° (range, 10°-35°); the preoperative Harris score was 47.1±9.9 (range, 40-55) and the mean Harris score at the last follow-up was 83.4±12.4 (range, 75-90). The preoperative range of motion of the hip in all directions was 0°. Postoperative hip range of motion was good, with a mean hip flexion of 95.5°±12.2° (range, 80°-110°), mean extension of 10.5°±3.4° (range, -10°-25°), and mean abduction of 38.0°±8.2° (range, 10°-50°). Postoperative complications were minor, including 2 case with poor wound healing, 2 cases with paresthesia or tingling sensation in the anterior or anterolateral thigh, which returned to normal within 3 months after surgery, and no deep infection or dislocation occurred. The acetabular cup was in poor position in 2 cases and the femoral stem was varus in 1 case, but the prosthesis was stable and no treatment was needed. All the acetabular cups and femur stems were confirmed with bone ingrowth on the last follow-up radiographs, and one patient had heterotopic ossification (Brooker grade 1). No osteolysis or wear of the acetabular liner was observed.Conclusion:Combined anterior and posterior approach (Gibson posterolateral approach + modified Hardinge approach) in THA for fusion/ankylosed hip can fully expose the operative field and sufficiently release the soft tissue, and the function of hip recovered well postopratively.

Objective:To observe and preliminarily explore the effect of mogroside on oxidative stress of retinal pigment epitheliaum (RPE) cells induced by hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) and its possible mechanism. Methods:A experimental study. The RPE cells were divided into control group, H 2O 2 group, silent information regulator of transcription 1 (SIRT1) inhibitor EX527 group (EX527 group), mogroside group, mogroside+EX527 group. Methyl thiazolete trazolium method was used to detect cell survival rate. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis rate. 2' ,7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescent probe method, xanthine method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method were used to detect the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in cells respectively. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to detect relative expressions of SIRT1, nuclear factor erythroid-2-related actor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA and protein in cells. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among groups. The pairwise comparison between groups was tested by the least significant difference t test. Results:Compared with the control group, the H 2O 2 group cell survival rate decreased, the apoptosis rate increased, the ROS level in the cells increased, the SOD activity decreased, the MDA content increased, and the relative expression of SIRT1, Nrf2, HO-1 mRNA and protein decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with H 2O 2 group, the cell survival rate decreased, apoptosis rate increased, the cell ROS level increased, SOD activity decreased, MDA content increased, SIRT1, Nrf2, HO-1 mRNA and protein expression decreased in EX527 group ( P<0.05); the cell survival rate increased, apoptosis rate decreased, ROS level decreased, SOD activity increased, MDA content decreased, and the relative expression of SIRT1, Nrf2, HO-1 mRNA and protein increased in mogroside group ( P<0.05). Compared with the mogrosides group, the cell survival rate decreased, the apoptosis rate increased, the level of ROS increased, SOD activity decreased, MDA content increased, SIRT1, Nrf2, HO-1 mRNA and protein decreased in mogrosides+EX527 group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Mogrosides can alleviate the oxidative stress response of visual RPE cells induced by H 2O 2, promote cell proliferation, and reduce cell apoptosis. Mogrosides may exert antioxidant effects by activating the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Pathological dry skin is a disturbing and intractable healthcare burden,characterized by epithelial hy-perplasia and severe itch.Atopic dermatitis(AD)and psoriasis models with complications of dry skin have been studied using single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq).However,scRNA-seq analysis of the dry skin mouse model(acetone/ether/water(AEW)-treated model)is still lacking.Here,we used scRNA-seq and in situ hybridization to identify a novel proliferative basal cell(PBC)state that exclusively expresses transcription factor CUT-like homeobox 1(Cux1).Further in vitro study demonstrated that Cux1 is vital for keratinocyte proliferation by regulating a series of cyclin-dependent kinases(CDKs)and cyclins.Clinically,Cux1+PBCs were increased in patients with psoriasis,suggesting that Cux1+ PBCs play an important part in epidermal hyperplasia.This study presents a systematic knowledge of the tran-scriptomic changes in a chronic dry skin mouse model,as well as a potential therapeutic target against dry skin-related dermatoses.

Objective: To understand the relationship between childhood psychological resilience and of school violence awareness in rural areas in southern Henan, and to provide support and reference for the prevention and control of school violence. Methods: A total of 6 484 primary school children in grades 4-6 in the rural areas of Dengzhou, Xincai and Gushi counties in southern Henan were surveyed for psychological resilience and awareness on school violence. Results: The average score of psychological resilience of grade 4-6 pupils in rural areas of southern Henan was (39.92±8.18), and the average score of school violence awareness was (60.78±6.19). In terms of age, gender, grade, school type, personality, class performance, academic performance, smoking, intimate friends, playing games, truancy, loitering outside the school, relationship with siblings, father s education, mother s education, parental conflict, parenting style, the proportion of primary school students in different level of school violence awareness varied statistically different (P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression showed, after controlling for confounding factors, psychological resilience was an independent influencing factor affecting awareness on school violence (OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.05-1.08), with better psychological resilience, being associated with higher school violence awareness (P<0.01). Conclusion The level of school violence awareness and psychological resilience of pupils in southern Henan is relatively low. The higher level of psychological resilience, the higher level of school violence awareness; psychological resilience might be improved through education and household parenting modification to prevent and reduce the incidence of violence on campus.

Objective:To explore the effect of visual feedback training on the knee function and balance of postoperative knee fracture patients.Methods:A total of 64 patients were randomly divided into a control group and a visual feedback group, each of 32. Both groups were given routine rehabilitation, while the visual feedback group was additionally provided with visual feedback training from the 3rd to the 8th week after the operation. Before and after 2, 4 and 8 weeks of the intervention, both groups were evaluated using Lysholm scoring, the Tinetti gait test and the Technobody balance device.Results:There was no difference between the two groups in terms of their average Lysholm, Tinetti or Technobody results before the intervention or after 2 weeks of treatment. Both groups had improved significantly after 8 weeks, but the visual feedback group′s average Lysholm, Tinetti and Technobody results were then significantly better than those of the control group. Indeed, the control group′s average Technobody result was no better than before the treatment.Conclusions:Visual feedback training could be useful in treating those in need of rehabilitation after a knee fracture operation.

Objective: To investigate the role of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) in the regulation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human lens epithelial cells (LECs) and its possible mechanism. Methods: Human LEC lines (SRA01/04) were divided into MeCP2-mimic group, MeCP2-NC group and small interferening RNA-MeCP2 (si-MeCP2) group, and MeCP2 analog plasmid, blank plasmid and MeCP2 si-RNA plasmid was used respectively to transfect the cells.The expression of MeCP2 mRNA in the cells was detected by using real-time PCR 24 hours after transfection.At 48 hours after transfection, the migration rate of the cells was evaluated by scratching test, and the expression of Wnt3a protein in the cells was detected by immunofluorescence stainning.The relative expressions of β-catenin, E-cadherin, Vimentin, matrix metallo proteinase (MMP)-9, MMP-7 and secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) proteins in the cells were detected by Western blot. Results: After 24 hours of transfection, the relative expression of MeCP2 mRNA in the cells was significantly different among the MeCP2-mimic group, MeCP2-NC group and si-MeCP2 group (F=4 773.00, P<0.00 1). The migrating rate of the cells in the MeCP2-mimic group, MeCP2-NC group and si-MeCP2 group was (57.45±5.20)%, (32.71±10.02)% and (17.77±9.22)%, respectively, showing a significant difference among the three groups (F=124.00, P<0.001), and the migrating rate of the cells in the si-MeCP2 group was significantly lower than that of the MeCP2-mimic group or MeCP2-NC group (both at P<0.001). The relative expressing intensity (absorbance) of Wnt3a in the cells of the MeCP2-mimic group, MeCP2-NC group and si-MeCP2 group was 75.92±6.10, 52.03±5.22 and 28.75±3.39, respectively, with a significant difference among three the groups (F=221.30, P<0.001), and the relative expressing intensity (absorbance) of Wnt3a in the cells was significantly lower in the si-MeCP2-mimic group than that of the MeCP2-NC group and MeCP2-mimic group (both at P<0.001). The relative expressing level of E-cadherin protein was significantly elevated and the expressions of β-catenin, Vimentin, MMP-9 and MMP-7 were significantly reduced in the si-MeCP2 group compared with the MeCP2-mimnic group and MeCP2-NC group (all at P<0.01). The relative expressing level of SFRP5 protein in the MeCP2-mimic group, MeCP2-NC group and si-MeCP2 group was 27.19±0.03, 47.54±0.05 and 74.93±0.05, respectively, showing a statistical difference among the three groups (F=183.49, P<0.001), and the relative expressing level of SFRP5 in the si-MeCP2 group was significantly higher than that in the MeCP2-mimic group and MeCP2-NC group (both at P<0.001). Conclusions MeCP2C can promote EMT of human LECs by down-regulating the expression of SFRP5 and therefore activating the Wnt3a/β-catenin signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia on post-resuscitation neurological outcome after ventricular fibrillation (VF) in rabbits.Methods Forty-five adult New Zealand rabbits were induced VF by direct current of electricity.The rabbits were randomly(random number) divided into following groups:normothermic resuscitation group (NR),mild hypothermia prearrest group (HP),mild hypothermia resuscitation 30 min group (HRe30),mild hypothermia resuscitation 90 min group (HRe90),normothermic sham group (NS),and hypothermia sham group (HS).The rabbits of NR group were observed for 600 min in room temperature after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).The mild hypothermia was induced by surface cooling,and maintained for 600 min after the aimed low temperature reached.The arterial blood samples were collected for determining neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and thioredoxin (Trx) and the mean arterial pressure (MAP),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and left ventricular pressure raise and fall rate (±dp/dtmax) were observed at 15 min before CA,and 30 min,60 min,120 min,360 min and 600 min after ROSC.After the animals were sacrificed at 600 min after ROSC,the whole brain of animals was harvested and observed under light microscope to calculate the apoptotic index of the hippocampal CA1 neurons by using TUNEL method.One-way ANOVA was used to determine the statistical significance between two groups,a two-tailed value of P＜0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results (1) Hemodynamically compared with normal temperature groups,HR was lower in hypothermia groups.Compared with NR,HRe30,and HRe90 group,LVEDP was higher in HP group at 30 min after ROSC(3.4±0.8 vs.4.6±1.0,4.1±0.5,4.3±0.2,F=9.85,P=0.019).In Hp group,the level of +dp/dtmax was higher than that in NR,HRe30 and HRe90 groups at 30 min and 120 min after ROSC.In HP group,the level of-dp/dtmax was higher than that of NR group at 30 min,60 min,120 min,360 min and 600 min after ROSC.(2) Serologically compared with HP,HRe30 and HRe90 group,NSE levels were higher in NR group at 60 min,120 min and 360 min after ROSC.Compared with NR,HRe30,and HRe90 group,Trx levels in NR group were lower at 60 min,120 min,360 min and 600 min after ROSC.Compared with HP group,Trx levels in HRe30 and HRe90 groups were higher at 60 min,120 min,360 min and 600 min after ROSC.(3) Pathologically compared with NR group,histopathological changes in hippocampus CA1 area were milder found in HP,HRe30 and HRe90 groups.AI (％) was lower in HP,HRe30 and HRe90 groups than that in NR group[(62.25±10.43)％ vs.(20.61±5.02)％,(25.08±3.92)％,(30.33±7.15)％,P=0.001].Concusions This study shows that hypothermia should be initiated as soon as possible,and especially early intra-arrest cooling appears to be significantly better than post-ROSC cooling and normothermia.

Objective To investigate the technical requirements for the 3.0T multi-modal quantitative MR imaging of the rabbit liver.Methods A total of 8 rabbits were scanned and T1 mapping,T2 mapping,MT and Gd EOB-DTPA dynamic enhancement images were acquired.For the dynamic enhanced scanning,injecting contrast medium was followed by saline flush with different combinations of injection flow rate (1.5 mL/s and 2 mL/s) and injection volume(6 mL and 8 mL).The quality of the images was assessed and analyzed statistically.Results The total scanning time was about 20-25 min.High-quality images were acquired by T1 mapping,T2 mapping and MT sequences.There was no significant difference in image quality among different groups in Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic enhanced scanning(P＞0.05).Two rabbits died when the combination of injection flow rate of 2 mL/s and injection volume of 8 mL was used.Conclusion 3.0 T multi-modal quantitative MR scanning of rabbit liver can be achieved successfully if scanning parameters are properly chosen.
