Objective To analyze the disease burden of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) attributed to high body mass index (BMI) in China from 1992 to 2021 and predict the disease burden for the next decade, and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of CKD. Methods Using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database and the Joinpoint model, the average annual percentage rate change (AAPC) of the mortality rate and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rate was calculated to describe and analyze the CKD disease burden attributed to high BMI in China from 1992 to 2021. The ARIMA model was employed to predict and analyze the change trend of the CKD disease burden. Results From 1992 to 2021, the mortality rate and DALY rate attributed to high BMI-induced chronic kidney disease showed an upward trend. Compared to 1992, the attributed number of deaths increased by 324.38%, and DALYs increased by 268.56%; the mortality rate increased by 64.00%, and the DALY rate grew by 51.62%. From 1992 to 2021, the mortality rate and DALY rate for males were lower than those for females, but the growth rate for males exceeded that of females. From 1992 to 2021, the mortality rate and DALY rate of chronic kidney disease attributed to high BMI in China increased with age. The average annual change rate of chronic kidney disease attributed to high BMI in China from 1992 to 2021 (mortality rate: 1.40 per 100,000 (95% CI: 1.04–1.76), DALY rate: 1.43 per 100 000 (95% CI: 1.17–1.70)) was higher than thHuaiyin Normal University, Huai'anher social demographic index (SDI) regions. The ARIMA model predicted that the age-standardized mortality rate increased from 2.91 per 100 000 in 2022 to 3.05 per 100 000 in 2026, and the age-standardized DALY rate increased from 69.65 per 100 000 in 2022 to 73.58 per 100 000 in 2026. Conclusion Chronic kidney disease attributed to high BMI in China is on the rise, and it will continue to grow in the future. The focus of CKD prevention and control should be on males and the elderly, while active measures should be taken to reduce the occurrence and progression of chronic kidney disease.

Objective:To investigate a new method for the reconstruction of hemifacial microsomia by sagittal osteotomy of the affected mandibular outer cortex combined with bone graft of mandibular outer cortex from healthy side.Methods:From March 2006 to March 2023, the clinical data of patients with hemifacial microsomia admitted to the Department of Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative diagnosis and surgical design were performed based on clinical manifestations and imaging findings. All cases were operated under general anesthesia. The affected mandibular outer cortex was previously split by an intraoral approach, and then the mandibular outer cortex of appropriate shape and size on the healthy side was harvested and grafted into the split bone space according to the preoperative design, following by internal rigid fixation. Complications, facial appearance improvement, and patient satisfaction were followed up. Photographs were taken preoperative, immediately postoperative and at the long-term(last) postoperative follow-up, and the severity of the deformity was analyzed. CT data from preoperative, immediate postoperative, and long-term follow-up visits were imported into Surgicase Proplan medical three-dimensional image workstation in Dicom format. The mandible was reconstructed using Segmentation, and the thickness of the mandible was measured during pre-operative, immediate post-operative and long-term follow-up visits. Anova with repeated measurement design was used to compare measurements and LSD test was used for multiple comparisons. The Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test were used to statistically analyze malformation severity. P< 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 39 patients were included in this study, including 13 females and 26 males, with an average age of (22.21±4.57) years (15-27 years). All patients were followed up for an average of (45.56±39.41) months (6-153 months) after surgery. The grafted mandibular outer cortex grows well with the adjacent bone tissue, and the mandibular angle and mandibular body are significantly wider. Of the 39 cases, 1 developed an infection 1 year after surgery, the titanium plate was exposed, and the patient healed after debridement and removal of the immobilizing splint. The facial appearance of the other patients improved significantly. Preoperative, immediate postoperative and long term follow up of mandibular thickness measurements were compared in pairs, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The patient’s appearance satisfaction score: the preoperative score was [2.0(1.5, 2.0)] points, the immediate postoperative score was [4.0(4.0, 4.0)] points, the score of the last postoperative follow up was [4.0(4.0, 4.0)] points. There was statistical difference in satisfaction among the three groups ( P<0.01). The preoperative scores were compared with the scores of the immediate postoperative and the last postoperative follow-up respectively, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in satisfaction between the immediate postoperative score and the score of the last postoperative follow up ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The sagittal splitting osteotomy of the mandibular outer cortex is consistent with the features of mandibular anatomy, and provides a good condition for the grafting and healing of autogenous bone. Removing the outer cortex of the mandible on the healthy side not only increases the thickness of the affected side, but also decreases the width of the angle of the mandible on the healthy side, so as to effectively correct the asymmetric deformity of the mandible. The method is simple, with few complications and good results, and is one of the ideal treatments to correct hemofacial microsomia.

Numerous neurodegenerative diseases,such as Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease,and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,exhibit a common pathophysiological hallmark of aberrant protein aggregation and organelle mislocalization.These pathological manifestations are hypothesized to stem from disruptions in axonal transport within neurons,resulting in the im-paired targeting of pathological proteins for degradation and the misplacement of organelles crucial for normal cellular func-tions.This review aims to illustrate the mechanisms responsible for axonal transport deficits in various prevalent neurodegenera-tive diseases,suggesting that these deficits are typically early pathological occurrences that ultimately result in the deterioration of axonal integrity and degenerative alterations.The review may offer novel insights for future fundamental research endeavors.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Uncovering the risk factors of pulmonary hypertension and its mechanisms is crucial for the prevention and treatment of the disease.In the current study,we showed that experimental periodontitis,which was established by ligation of molars followed by orally smearing subgingival plaques from patients with periodontitis,exacerbated hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in mice.Mechanistically,periodontitis dysregulated the pulmonary microbiota by promoting ectopic colonization and enrichment of oral bacteria in the lungs,contributing to pulmonary infiltration of interferon gamma positive(IFNγ+)T cells and aggravating the progression of pulmonary hypertension.In addition,we identified Prevotella zoogleoformans as the critical periodontitis-associated bacterium driving the exacerbation of pulmonary hypertension by periodontitis,and the exacerbation was potently ameliorated by both cervical lymph node excision and IFNγ neutralizing antibodies.Our study suggests a proof of concept that the combined prevention and treatment of periodontitis and pulmonary hypertension are necessary.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of spiradenocarcinoma, cylindrocarcinoma, and spiradenocylindrocarcinoma, and to understand the correlations between their morphological patterns and clinical behaviors.Methods:Seven cases of spiradenocarcinoma, cylindrocarcinoma, and spiradenocylindrocarcinoma diagnosed at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China from 2015 to 2021 were collected. The clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Histopathologic evaluation and immunohistochemical studies were carried out.Results:There were four men and three women in the cohort, with ages ranging from 46 to 75 years (mean, 61 years). The tumors were located on the head and neck (four cases), extremities (two cases), and trunk (one case). Histologically, the residuum of a benign neoplasm was present in all cases. One case presented salivary gland-type basal cell adenocarcinoma-like pattern, low-grade (BCAC-LG). Another case showed salivary gland-type basal cell adenocarcinoma-like pattern, high-grade (BCAC-HG). The remaining five cases were invasive adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified (IAC-NOS). One of IAC-NOS contained a mucinous adenocarcinoma component. Immunohistochemically, BCAC-LG and BCAC-HG predominantly expressed basal cell markers such as p63 and p40, whereas IAC-NOS primarily exhibited positivity for CK7, a glandular epithelial marker. Follow-up was available for six patients, ranging from 1 to 9 years (mean, 4.5 years). Among the four patients of IAC-NOS with follow-up, three showed recurrences, two had regional lymph node metastases, and one died.Conclusions:The malignant components of spiradenocarcinomas, cylindrocarcinomas, and spiradenocylindrocarcinomas in this cohort contain BCAC-LG, BCAC-HG and IAC-NOS. This study also shows the presence of mucinous adenocarcinoma components in IAC-NOS. The tumors with IAC-NOS have a relatively poorer prognosis than those without.

Objective To investigate the expression level of piR-35296 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its pathological significance, as well as its effect on ccRCC cell proliferation. Methods Surgical resection specimens and clinicopathological data from 67 ccRCC patients were collected. Differential expression profiles of piRNAs in ccRCC were detected using piRNA microarray analysis, and validated by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The effect of piR-35296 on the proliferative activity of ccRCC cells was examined by CCK-8 assay. Bioinformatic analysis predicted TAB2 as a potential downstream target gene of piR-35296; qRT-PCR was performed to detect theinfluence of piR-35296 overexpression or knockdown on TAB2 expression levels. Rescue experiments were conducted to verify the regulation of TAB2 by piR-35296 and its impact on ccRCC cell proliferation. The effect of piR-35296 knockdown on the growth of subcutaneous tumors in experimental nude mice was analyzed, and Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining was used to validate the influence of piR-35296 on ccRCC cell proliferation. Results Both piRNA expression profiling and qRT-PCR revealed an elevated expression level of piR-35296 in ccRCC (P < 0.05). The expression of piR-35296 was closely associated with tumor size and differentiation degree in ccRCC patients (χ²=3.984, 3.974, P < 0.05). CCK-8 proliferation assays demonstrated that piR-35296 overexpression enhanced the proliferative activity of ccRCC cells, whereas its downregulation inhibited cell proliferation (P < 0.05). qRT-PCR experiments showed that TAB2 expression was upregulated after piR-35296 overexpression and downregulated upon piR-35296 knockdown (P < 0.05). Rescue experiments indicated that piR-35296 promoted TAB2 mRNA and its protein expression in ccRCC cells, thereby stimulating cell proliferation; TAB2 downregulation inhibited ccRCC cell proliferation. In experimental nude mice, piR-35296 knockdown reduced the mass andvolume of subcutaneous tumors (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67 revealed a decreased percentage of Ki-67-positive cells after piR-35296 downregulation, suggesting reduced cell proliferation capacity (P < 0.05). Conclusion The piR-35296 serves as a novel oncogenic growth promoter in ccRCC. By elevating TAB2 expression, piR-35296 promotes the proliferative growth of ccRCC cells.

Objective : To identify the factors affecting microvascular complications among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), so as to provide insights into the management of microvascular complications of T2DM. Methods: T2DM patients hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of a tertiary hospital in Weifang City, Shandong Province from January 2021 to January 2022 were enrolled, and subjects' basic information, lifestyle and medical history were collected using questionnaire surveys. Fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin were measured, and factors affecting microvascular complications were identified among T2DM patients using a multivariable logistic regression model and a decision tree model. Results: Totally 1 003 T2DM inpatients were enrolled, including 515 men (51.35%) and 488 women (48.65%), and the prevalence of microvascular complications was 40.18%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age of 60 years and older (OR=2.510, 95%CI: 1.441-4.374), T2DM duration of 10 years and longer (OR=3.205, 95%CI: 2.242-4.581), fasting insulin of lower than 3.21 μIU/mL (OR=1.749, 95%CI: 1.239-2.469), using of agents or insulin to control blood glucose (OR=1.880, 95%CI: 1.143-3.092), glycated hemoglobin level of 7% and higher (OR=1.751, 95%CI: 1.172-2.615) as factors affecting microvascular complications among T2DM patients. Decision tree analysis identified course of T2DM as a major factor affecting the risk of microvascular complications among T2DM patients, and the prevalence of microvascular complications was 70.22% among T2DM patients with disease course of 10 years and longer and fasting insulin of lower than 3.21 μIU/mL or 16.32 μIU/mL and higher, 44.23% among T2DM patients with disease course of 5 to 10 years and at ages of 60 years and older, and 43.10% among T2DM patients with disease course of less than 5 years and fasting insulin of lower than 3.21 μIU/mL. Conclusion Advanced age, long course of T2DM, low fasting insulin and high glycated hemoglobin may increase the risk of microvascular complications among T2DM patients.
