Objective:To investigate the intelligence status of children aged 10 - 12 in rural areas of Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture (referred to as Linxia) in Gansu Province.Methods:From September to November 2019, a cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the intelligence status of children aged 10 to 12 in 8 counties (cities) of Linxia. Chinese Raven's Progressive Matrices (rural version) was used for intelligence test and children's intelligence quotient (IQ) was calculated by regular mold to evaluate children's intelligence level.Results:A total of 1 721 children in Linxia were tested for intelligence, with an average IQ of 103.2. Among them, low intelligence (≤69) accounted for 1.0% (18/1 721), borderline (70 - 79) accounted for 3.0% (52/1 721), middle and lower (80 - 89) accounted for 8.4% (144/1 721), moderate (90 - 109) accounted for 56.6% (974/1 721), middle and upper (110 - 119) accounted for 21.9% (377/1 721), excellent (120 - 129) accounted for 7.8% (135/1 721), extremely excellent (≥130) accounted for 1.2% (21/1 721). There were 635, 598 and 488 children aged 10, 11 and 12, respectively, with an average IQ of 106.1, 103.3 and 99.2. There were 919 males and 802 females, with an average IQ of 102.9 and 103.4, respectively.Conclusion:In 2019, the intelligence of children aged 10 to 12 in rural areas of Linxia has reached the moderate level.

Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic value of plasma serine protease inhibitor Ka-zal-type 4(SPINK4)expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma(CRC)and progressive adenoma(AA).Methods A total of 62 patients with CRC(CRC group)and 15 patients with AA(AA group)diagnosed by colonoscopy and pathological examination in this hospital from June 2020 to December 2021 were selected,and 22 healthy people undergoing physical examination during the same period were selected as the HC group.The expression of SPINK4 in plasma was detected by ELISA,and the expression of CEA in plasma was detected by electrochemiluminescence,and the correlation was analyzed.The diagnostic efficiency was analyzed by re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,and the expression of p53 in CRC tissues was detected by immu-nohistochemistry.Results The expression of plasma SPINK4 in the CRC group and AA group was lower than that in the HC group(Z=3.72,-0.41,P＜0.05),and the expression of CEA in the CRC group was higher than that in the HC group(Z=-3.63,P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC),accuracy,sensi-tivity and specificity of SPINK4 combined with CEA in the diagnosis of CRC and AA were higher than those of SPINK4 and CEA alone.The positive rate of mutant type p53 in SPINK4 low expression group and CEA high ex-pression group was significantly increased in CRC patients(72.55％,75.00％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of plasma SPINK4 is decreased in CRC and AA,and the combined detection of SPINK4 and CEA has a good di-agnostic efficiency in CRC and AA.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of collagen modification on the osteogenic performance of different surface-modified titanium,including alkaline etching,alkaline etching followed by silaniza-tion,and alkaline etching followed by dopamine modifi-cation.The proliferation,adhesion,and osteogenic differ-entiation abilities of MC3T3-E1 cells on the surfaces with collagen modification were analyzed and compared.Methods Collagen was immobilized on the surfaces of pure titanium(Ti-C),alkaline-etched titanium(Ti-Na-C),alkaline-etched and silanized titanium(Ti-A-C),and alkaline-etched and dopamine-modified titanium(Ti-D-C),with pure titanium(Ti)as the control group.The surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and the surface elemental composition was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).Contact angle measurements were conducted to evaluate the hydrophilicity of the surfaces.MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured on the surfaces,and their proliferation,adhesion,and osteogenic differentiation abilities were assessed using CCK-8 assay,laser scanning confocal microscope,alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining,Alizarin red staining and quantitative analysis,as well as real-time quan-titative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)to evaluate the mRNA expression levels of osteogenic-related genes,includ-ing ALP,typeⅠcollagen(COL-1),osteocalcin(OCN),osteopontin(OPN).Results SEM and XPS results confirmed the successful immobilization of collagen on the titanium surfaces,with the Ti-Na-C group exhibiting a higher amount of col-lagen modification.Contact angle measurements showed improved hydrophilicity of the surfaces after collagen modifica-tion.CCK-8 results indicated good compatibility of the materials with MC3T3-E1,with enhanced cell proliferation on the collagen-modified surfaces.Cell fluorescence staining revealed better cell spreading on the collagen-modified surfaces,and ALP and Alizarin red staining results suggested that the Ti-Na-C group exhibited the best osteogenic performance,with significantly higher absorbance values in the Alizarin red quantification analysis.RT-qPCR analysis showed that the Ti-Na-C group had the highest expression of the osteogenic-related gene OPN.Conclusion Among the different colla-gen modification approaches employed in this study,collagen modification on alkaline-etched titanium surfaces showed the most conducive effects on MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion,spreading,proliferation,and osteogenic differentiation.This ap-proach can be considered as the optimal collagen modification strategy for enhancing osteogenesis on titanium surfaces.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of oropharyngeal aspiration on reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia,in order to provide a basis for clinical operation and practice.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine Disc, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL databases were searched for relevant studies on the effects of oropharyngeal attraction on ventilators associated pneumonia. At the same time, the included references were screened, and the search time limit was from the establishment of the database to January 1, 2023. The quality of the included literature was strictly evaluated and data extracted by two researchers with evidence-based training, and Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:The results of meta-analysis showed that oropharyngeal aspiration could reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia ( OR=0.30, 95% CI 0.22-0.40, P<0.01) and shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation ( MD=-2.39, 95% CI -3.59--1.20, P<0.01) and reduced length of stay in ICU ( MD=-2.62, 95% CI -2.99--2.26, P<0.01). Conclusions:Strengthening oropharyngeal aspiration can reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with mechanical ventilation. In clinical practice, oropharyngeal aspiration should be performed when the position changes, and continuous aspiration can be performed if conditions are met.

To prepare a lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based subunit vaccine of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigen EsxV and study its immunological characteristics, the LNP containing EsxV and c-di-AMP (EsxV: C: L) was prepared by thin film dispersion method, and its encapsulation rate, LNP morphology, particle size, surface charge and polyphase dispersion index were measured. BALB/c mice were immunized with EsxV: C: L by nasal drops. The levels of serum and mucosal antibodies, transcription and secretion of cytokines in lung and spleen, and the proportion of T cell subsets were detected after immunization. EsxV: C: L LNPs were obtained with uniform size and they were spherical and negatively charged. Compared with EsxV: C immunization, EsxV: C: L mucosal inoculation induced increased sIgA level in respiratory tract mucosa. Levels of IL-2 secreted from spleen and ratios of memory T cells and tissue-resident T cells in mice were also elevated. In conclusion, EsxV: C: L could induce stronger mucosal immunity and memory T cell immune responses, which may provide better protection against Mtb infection.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of internal fixation using double reverse traction reducers in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures.Methods:This study retrospectively examined the medical records of 48 patients who underwent surgical intervention for tibial plateau fractures at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between January 2021 and September 2022. The cohort, aged between 35 to 68 years (mean: 53.0±7.9 years), included 23 males and 25 females. Fractures were classified according to the Schatzker system, with 9 type III, 23 type IV, 11 type V, and 5 type VI fractures recorded. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach: the minimally invasive group underwent treatment with double reverse traction reducers for reduction and internal fixation in 24 cases, while the open group received conventional open reduction and internal fixation in 24 cases. Comparative parameters included operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, early postoperative knee mobility, and weight-bearing timelines. Postoperative radiographic images were appraised using the Rasmussen imaging score, and knee functionality was assessed at the final follow-up with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score.Results:The preoperative general data were statistically indifferent between groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed for 13.5±4.3 months (range, 9.5-24 months). In the minimally invasive group, operative time was 88.96±19.04 minutes, intraoperative blood loss was 65±32 ml, and hospital stay was 11.8±3.9 days. Early postoperative knee joint activity commenced at 8.96±2.84 days, significantly earlier compared to the open group, which recorded 178.63±67.75 minutes of surgery, 114.16±65.05 ml blood loss, a 15.3±4.8 days hospital stay, and 16.83±4.09 days to knee joint movement. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). No significant variation was observed in the time to bone healing between the minimally invasive group at 12.6±3.8 weeks and the open group at 13.21±4.98 weeks ( P>0.05). Rasmussen imaging criteria revealed 21 excellent and 3 good outcomes in the minimally invasive group, and 19 excellent and 5 good in the open group, with no statistical significance in the excellent-good rate differentiation ( P>0.05). Bone healing occurred within 3.2±0.8 months (range, 2.5-6.0 months), with 79% (19/24) in the minimally invasive group and 75% (18/24) in the open group achieving healing within 3 months. The open group had one incidence of superficial skin infection, and one patient in the minimally invasive group developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT); no other related complications were documented. Conclusion:Minimally invasive treatment of tibial plateau fractures using double reverse traction reducers offers significant benefits, including reduced surgical time, minimal blood loss, less soft tissue trauma, and enhanced joint function recovery. This approach is particularly advantageous in managing complex tibial plateau fractures compared to traditional open reduction and internal fixation methods.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of sugammadex on the quality of recovery after laparoscopic bariatric surgery in severely obese patients.Methods:One hundred and eighty patients, aged 18-65 yr, with body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m 2, undergoing elective laparoscopic bariatric surgery, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ, were enrolled and divided into 2 groups ( n=90 each) by the random number table method: sugammadex group (S group) and neostigmine group (N group). Before anesthesia, bilateral T 6 and T 9 paravertebral nerve blocks were performed, and 0.33% ropivacaine 15 ml was injected on each side.When the reappearance of T 2 was monitored under train-of-four (TOF) stimulation after the end of surgery, and sugammadex 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected in S group, and neostigmine 0.04 mg/kg and atropine 0.02 mg/kg were intravenously injected in N group.After the patient was transferred to the general ward, flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg was injected intravenously every 12 h, and oxycodone and flurbiprofen axetil were used for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia at the same time.When the numerical rating scale (NRS) score ≥4 and the analgesic pump was ineffective, bilateral T 7 paravertebral nerve block was performed for rescue analgesia, and 0.33% ropivacaine 15 ml was injected on each side.The postoperative quality of recovery was assessed by the 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale before operation and at 24 h after operation.The TOF ratio ≥ 0.9 and extubation time were recorded.The SpO 2 at the time of transfer to post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), the lowest SpO 2 and occurrence of SpO 2 < 92% during PACU were recorded.The occurrence of residual muscle relaxation and Ramsay sedation score were recorded at 30 min after entering PACU.The time of PACU stay, time to the first off-bed activity and length of hospital stay were recorded.The cumulative consumption of oxycodone, requirement for rescue analgesia, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, hypoxemia, and pulmonary complications were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:There were no significant differences in the total score of 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale before surgery and at 24 h after surgery, cumulative consumption of oxycodone within 48 h after surgery, rate of rescue analgesia, and incidence of dizziness, nausea and vomiting, hypoxemia and pulmonary complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with N group, the scores of the three recovery indicators (feel energized with enough rest, engagement in work or family activities, and tension and anxiety) were significanatly increased, time to TOF ratio ≥ 0.9, extubation time, time of PACU stay, time to the first off-bed activity and length of hospital stay were shortened, and the incidence of residual muscle relaxation was decreased in S group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Antagonizing residual muscle relaxation with sugammadex is helpful for the recovery of severely obese patients after laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Objective: To screen the differential genes and pathways of female and male C57 BL/6 J mice by transcriptome sequencing, and to lay a foundation for further exploring the molecular mechanism of behavioral differences between male and female mice. Methods: 8-week-old female and male mice of the C57 BL/6 J strain were completely isolated from the mouse hippocampus, and total RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed to construct a cDNA library, and 50 single-ended mice were generated on the BGIseq500 platform(BGl-Shenzhen, China) The base reads were transcriptome sequenced. After sequencing, based on GO and KEGG databases, combined with the phyper function in R language to screen, correct and enrich the data, calculatePvalue, and then perform FDR correction onPvalue to obtainQvalue and analyze different annotated genes based on the hypergeometric test method. The expression status was analyzed, and the differential genes and pathways in the hippocampus of mice of different genders were screened out. Results: Through the comparison of male and female differences, 325 differential genes were screened, including 233 up-regulated genes and 92 down-regulated genes. The functions of these differential genes were mainly enriched in long-term potentiation(LTP), calcium signal pathway, nicotine addiction and other processes. There were 362 junctions and 1 703 interaction edges in the female-male differential gene interaction network, and 10 core genes selected: lysine demethylase 5 D(Kdm5 d), cyclin-dependent kinase 5(Cdkl5), Cell output mediator(Cle1), dopamine receptor 6 a3(Slc6 a3), cassette transcription factor(Fox), precursor mRNA processing factor 4 B(Prpf4 b), glycine receptor 4(Glur4), calcium ion receptor 2(Camk2), DNA and RNA binding protein family(Son), serotonin receptor 5 b(Htr5 b). Conclusion The selected differential genes and signal pathways may lay the foundation for explaining the molecular mechanism of the differences in behavior between male and female mice.
