BACKGROUND:silencing information regulatory 1(SIRT1)regulates the function of related proteins in chondrocytes in a deacetylated manner and participates in chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation,thereby promoting cartilage defect repair. OBJECTIVE:To screen for signaling pathways with unclear action status after SIRT1 gene knockdown in chondrocytes,as well as diseases or functions that produce changes using high-throughput technology. METHODS:ATDC5 chondrocytes from mice in logarithmic growth phase were divided into two groups:the cells were transfected with SIRT1 gene knockdown negative control lentivirus in control group and SIRT1 gene knockdown lentivirus in experimental group.GeneChip? Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array was used to detect the mRNA expression at 72 hours after transfection.Applied bioinformatics technology was also used to screen for unclear activation or inhibition signaling pathways and their related factors.Moreover,enrichment of disease or function modules was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After knocking down the SIRT1 gene,there were 245 signaling pathways with unclear activation or inhibition status in the mouse ATDC5 chondrocytes.According to the ranking of-Log(P-value),we reported the factors in the top 20 signaling pathways with unclear activation or inhibition status,including IGFBP4,TGFBR1,CTGF,COL4A5,LHX2,IL1RL1,and KLF6.According to the ranking of-Log(P-value),there were significant changes in 14 disease or function modules,including cellular growth and proliferation,organism survival,cell death and survival.According to the number of differentially expressed genes,there were significant changes in three disease or function modules,including organismal injury and abnormalities,cancer,and cell death and survival.According to the comprehensive ranking of-Log(P-value)and the number of differentially expressed genes,the disease or function module related to intrinsic immune response was significantly activated.

Objective:To observe the feelings of listening to music and the importance of music in the daily life of post-lingual deaf adults with cochlear implants, and to explore the relevant influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. From January 2021 to August 2021,the Music-Related Quality of Life Scale was used to evaluate the music needs and music experiences of 63 post-lingual deaf adults who met the inclusion criteria, including 27 males and 36 females, aged (40.7±12.3) years, at the time of surgery (36.8±13.1) years, and with a preoperative hearing aid ineffective time of (3.9±5.8) years. Indicators analyzed included age, duration of ineffective preoperative hearing aid wear, preoperative music preference, duration of postoperative cochlear implant use, current hearing aid modality, and auditory rehabilitation outcomes. Whether the six factors mentioned above constituted an influence on the subjects′ music listening was investigated using SPSS 25.0 statistical software.Results:All of the observations in the scale were correlated with a single factor. The two sub-dimensions of music experience section were related to the effect of auditory rehabilitation. In the importance section, the effect of auditory rehabilitation was the influential factor of the dimension of "participation importance", and the preoperative enjoyment of music was the relevant influential factor of the dimension of "perceived importance". There was a significant difference between the groups when they were grouped by the above factors ( P value<0.05), while there was no statistically significance between the groups when they were grouped by other factors ( P value>0.05). Conclusions:Post-lingual deaf adults show the need and attempt to listen to music after cochlear implantation. The effectiveness of auditory rehabilitation and the degree of music preference preoperatively are two important factors that influence music listening in implant recipients. Once the level of auditory communication has been restored to a certain degree, it is important to pay more attention to the needs of music for implant recipients and train them in time, especially for those with music preferences preoperatively.

Objective To explore the prediction of hospital indoor microbial concentration in air based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data and machine learning algorithms.Methods Four locations in a hospital were selected as monitoring sampling points from May 23 to June 5,2022.The"internet of things"sensor was used to monitor a variety of real-time air environment data.Air microbial concentration data collected at each point were matched,and the gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT)was used to predict real-time indoor microbial concentra-tion in air.Five other common machine learning models were selected for comparison,including random forest(RF),decision tree(DT),k-nearest neighbor(KNN),linear regression(LR)and artificial neural network(ANN).The validity of the model was verified by the mean absolute error(MAE),root mean square error(RMSE)and mean absolute percentage error(MAPE).Results The MAPE value of GBDT model in the outpa-tient elevator room(point A),bronchoscopy room(point B),CT waiting area(point C),and nurses'station in the supply room(point D)were 22.49％,36.28％,29.34％,and 26.43％,respectively.The mean performance of the GBDT model was higher than that of other machine learning models at three sampling points and slightly lower than that of the ANN model at only one sampling point.The mean MAPE value of GBDT model at four sampling points was 28.64％,that is,the predicted value deviated from the actual value by 28.64％,indicating that GBDT model has good prediction results and the predicted value was within the available range.Conclusion The GBDT machine learning model based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data can improve the prediction accuracy of in-door air microbial concentration in hospitals.

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.

AIM: To investigate the impact of meteorological factors in different environments in the eastern and western regions of China on the incidence of lipid-abnormal dry eye.METHODS: This is a multicenter retrospective study. From March 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022, all patients with dry eye were selected from the ophthalmology clinic of Nanjing Hospital of Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and Friendship Hospital of Xinjiang Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. General data(gender, age, employment and education)and climate data for outdoor environments(temperature, humidity, air quality index and wind)on the day of the visit were collected. Patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. Single factor, multiple factors and nonlinear model analysis were applied to identify environmental factors of lipid-abnormal dry eye in both regions.RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the incidence of lipid-abnormal dry eye between Nanjing and Yili in different seasons. The incidence of lipid-abnormal dry eye in Yili was significantly higher in all seasons than in Nanjing(P<0.001). The results of univariate research showed that the factors affecting the incidence of lipid-abnormal dry eye were gender, employment, humidity, air quality, and wind. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that humidity, temperature and air quality were statistically significant, and remained significant after adjusting for the three confounding factors of age, gender and employment situation. Nonlinear analysis showed that the probability of lipid-abnormal dry eye increased with the decrease of temperature when the temperature was below 10℃; within the range of 10℃～15℃, the probability of lipid-abnormal dry eye tended to stabilize. When the temperature exceeded 15℃, the probability of lipid-abnormal dry eye increased with the increase of temperature. Humidity was negatively correlated with the onset of lipid-abnormal dry eye. As humidity increased, the probability of lipid-abnormal dry eye decreased.CONCLUSIONS: The risk of lipid-abnormal dry eye in Yili is higher than that in Nanjing throughout the four seasons. Humidity, temperature, air quality and other environmental and meteorological factors can all affect the incidence of lipid-abnormal dry eye.

Objective To expand the application of EOS in orthopedic diagnosis and treatment by comparing EOS and CT in the measurement of tibial tubercle-trochlear groove(TT-TG)distance of patellar dislocation.Methods The clinical and complete imaging data(EOS and CT)of 35 cases of patellar dislocation(dislocation group)and 35 cases of non-patellar dislocation(non-dislocation group)were analyzed retrospectively.Results The age difference between the dislocation group and the non-dislocation group was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The TT-TG distance was measured by EOS in the dislocation group(20.19±1.05)mm and the non-dislocation group(13.33±1.17)mm,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The TT-TG distance was measured by CT in the dislocation group(21.51±1.11)mm and the non-dislocation group(14.21±1.11)mm,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Bland-Altman plot showed that only three cases were outside the 95％confidence interval.Conclusion Accurate TT-TG distance can be obtained by using EOS system in imaging evaluation of patients with patellar dislocation,which provides a new measurement method for diagnosis and treatment evaluation of patellar dislocation.

Objective:To develop a short-term prognostic model of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) machine learning, and to compare its predictive performance with a Logistic regression model.Methods:Patients with sICH admitted to Department of Neurology, Second People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2018 to March 2022 were chosen; their general demographic characteristics, medical history, laboratory indices and cranial imaging data were retrospectively collected. The prognoses of patients 90 d after discharge were evaluated according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores (good prognosis: mRS scores<3; poor prognosis: mRS scores≥3). XGboost and multiple Logistic regression models were used to screen out the factors for prognoses of patients 90 d after discharge, and area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, sensitivity, specificity and prediction accuracy of the 2 models were analyzed and compared.Results:A total of 413 patients with sICH were included; 180 patients(43.6 %) had poor prognosis and 233 (56.4%) had good prognosis 90 d after discharge. Multivariate Logistic regression results showed that age≥65 years, hemorrhage into the ventricle, hematoma volume of 20-40 mL, hematoma volume>40 mL and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were independent influencing factors for short-term prognoses of sICH ( P<0.05). The variables in the XGBoost model were ranked in order of importance: NIHSS scores, systolic blood pressure at admission, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores, age≥65 years, hemorrhage into the ventricle, hematoma volume of 20-40 mL, and hematoma volume>40 mL. AUC of XGBoost model in predicting the prognosis was 0.895 (95% CI: 0.820-0.947), enjoying sensitivity of 68.89%, specificity of 94.83%, and prediction accuracy of 83.5%. AUC of Logistic regression model in predicting the prognosis was 0.894 (95% CI: 0.818-0.946), enjoying sensitivity of 93.33%, specificity of 70.69%, and prediction accuracy of 80.58%. Conclusion:The short-term prognostic model based on XGboost for sICH patients has high predictive efficacy, whose predictive accuracy is better than traditional Logistic regression.
