BACKGROUND:The assessment of asymmetric gait quality plays a pivotal role in guiding rehabilitation training;however,the link between gait quality and kinematic-kinetic gait parameters remains ambiguous. OBJECTIVE:To formulate a machine-learning model for evaluating gait quality based on gait parameters,identify factors sensitive to gait quality from asymmetric gait parameters,investigate the relationship between gait indicators and gait quality,and provide guidance for asymmetric gait training and rehabilitation. METHODS:An asymmetric gait database was established through the creation of asymmetric conditions.Kinematic and kinetic data were collected from 8 young and 8 elderly subjects(all male,right dominant population)during gait tests.Gait quality for each test data set was assessed using symmetry indices,resulting in the creation of a gait parameter-gait quality dataset.Utilizing the Random Forest algorithm,a gait quality evaluation model was developed and key quality parameter factors were identified through differential analysis.This model was iteratively refined.The model's performance was evaluated through 10-fold cross-validation,and its effectiveness was verified using the cross-validation dataset. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A gradient test was designed to categorize gait quality into optimal,suboptimal,intermediate,and poor groups,with 759,329,133,and 125 instances,respectively.(2)The application of the Random Forest algorithm in gait quality assessment was explored.A relationship model was established between gait indicators and gait quality,yielding a predictive model accuracy of 95.99%.(3)The 13 main parameters significantly influencing asymmetric gait quality were identified through the Random Forest model's feature importance ranking.(4)An analysis of gait quality sensitivity factors using the 13 important parameters led to the identification of five key sensitivity indexes.The Random Forest model utilizing these sensitivity factors achieved a predictive accuracy of 94.20%.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of intraspinal cement leakage in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture by percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).Methods:From January 2018 to December 2021, 156 patients with OVCF who received surgical treatment in Beijing Tongzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective case-control study. The postoperative CT imaging results were analyzed, and the patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of intraspinal cement leakage: leakage group ( n=28) and non-leakage group ( n=128). Measurement data was expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison of visual analogue score (VAS) between groups; the count data was expressed as the number of cases and percentage (%); univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the risk factors of postoperative intraspinal cement leakage. Results:All the patients were treated by PVP successfully, without obvious adverse reactions and serious complications occurred during and after the operation. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher bone mineral density ( P=0.005), OVCF combined with posterior vertebral wall injury ( P<0.001) and higher bone cement dosage ( P=0.013) were the risk factors leading to intraspinal cement leakage. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher bone mineral density ( P=0.009, 95% CI: 0.152-0.762, OR=0.340), OVCF combined with posterior vertebral wall injury ( P=0.001, 95% CI: 2.134-15.780, OR=5.803), and higher bone cement dosage ( P=0.005, 95% CI: 1.175-2.505, OR=1.715) were the independent risk factors of intraspinal cement leakage. Conclusion:Intraspinal cement leakage was common complication after PVP. Higher bone mineral density, OVCF combined with posterior vertebral wall injury, and higher bone cement dosage were the independent risk factors affecting intraspinal cement leakage.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of micro-needle therapy combined with Biotrisse BTS Lumin OX and Biotrisse BTS Brightline in the treatment of melasma.Methods:From September 2019 to June 2021, 80 patients with facial chloasma, aged 28-48 (37.3±4.9) years, were selected from Nanjing Jiangning Guze Clinic. The micro-needle therapy was combined with lumin OX and brightline for 6 times, and the observation time was 120 days. The mMASI score and VISIA photos before and after treatment were used to improve the results.Results:Eighty patients with refractory melasma on the face were treated with micro-needle therapy for 7 times (1 time per week for the first 5 times, and twice a week for the 9th and 10th weeks). The photos before and after treatment were compared and the mMASI of the patients' facial chloasma was compared. The scores were analyzed statistically, and the melasma were improved to varying degrees. Before treatment, the mMASI score was 5.4±3.22; 90 days later, the mMASI was 3.22±2.16, and the score decreased significantly ( t=5.9, P<0.05); after 120 days, mMASI score was 1.6±0.68, and the score decreased significantly ( t=7.55, P<0.05). Pigmentation occurred in one patient after treatment, and hypopigmentation after repair treatment; none of the patients had adverse reactions such as hypopigmentation. All the 80 patients had different degrees of improvement in pores and skin texture. Conclusions:The combination of micro-needling with lumin OX and brightline in the treatment of chloasma has a definite effect without obvious side effects. It provides a new method for the treatment of chloasma.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Buyang Huanwutang combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). MethodDifferent concentrations (12.5, 25, 50 g·kg-1) of Buyang Huanwutang were administrated to rats by gavage. The spinal cord function of rats was measured by modified Tarlov score, and the most suitable concentration of Buyang Huanwutang was screened out. SD rats were then divided into 6 groups, namely, the sham operation group (gavage of equal amount of normal saline), the model group (gavage of equal amount of normal saline), the Buyang Huanwutang group (gavage of 25 g·kg-1 Buyang Huanwutang), the BMSC transplantation group (tail vein injection of BMSCs 1 mL), the Buyang Huanwutang+BMSC group (gavage of 25 g·kg-1 Buyang Huanwutang and tail vein injection of BMSCs 1 mL), the Buyang Huanwutang+BMSC+LY294002 group (gavage of 25 g·kg-1 Buyang Huanwutang and tail vein injection of BMSCs 1 mL and 40 mg·kg-1 LY294002), with 10 rats in each group. The spinal cord function was measured by the modified Tarlov score, inclined plate test, and latency of cortical somatosensory evoked potential. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the number of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuracil nucleoside (Brdu)-labeled positive cells in the spinal cord tissue. The protein expression levels of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt), glycoprotein 130 (gp130), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in spinal cord were detected by Western blot. ResultAs compared with the sham operation group, the Tarlov score and the critical angle of tilt plane in the model group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the latency of cortical somatosensory evoked potential wave and the protein expression levels of p-Akt, gp130, and IL-6 were significantly increased (P<0.05). As compared with the model group, the Tarlov score and the critical angle of tilt plane in the sham operation group and each treatment group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the latency of cortical somatosensory evoked potential wave and the protein expression levels of p-Akt, gp130, and IL-6 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). As compared with the BMSC group, the Tarlov score and the critical angle of inclined plane in the Buyang Huanwutang+BMSC group increased (P<0.05), the latency of cortical somatosensory evoked potential wave and the protein expression levels of p-Akt, gp130, and IL-6 decreased (P<0.05), and the number of Brdu-labeled positive cells increased 5 weeks after transplantation (P<0.05). As compared with the Buyang Huanwutang+BMSC group, the Tarlov score and the critical angle of the inclined plane in the Buyang Huanwutang+BMSC+LY294002 group increased (P<0.05), and the latency of cortical somatosensory evoked potential wave and the protein expression levels of p-Akt, gp130, and IL-6 decreased significantly (P<0.05). Five weeks after transplantation, the number of Brdu-labeled positive cells increased significantly in the Buyang Huanwutang+BMSC+LY294002 group (P<0.05). ConclusionBuyang Huanwutang can promote BMSCs migration and restore spinal cord function by inhibiting phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signal.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of calycosin-mediated glucoprotein130/Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription factor (GP130/JAK/STAT) signaling pathway on oxidative injury of astrocytes in spinal cord. MethodAstrocytes in rat spinal cord were isolated and identified by immunofluorescence detection of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). The cells were respectively pre-treated with 5, 10, 20 μmol·L-1 calycosin for 12 h, and then 100 μmol·L-1 H2O2 (24 h) was added to induce oxidative injury. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was employed to detect cell proliferation and select the optimal concentration of calycosin. The following experimental groups were designed: control group, model group (100 μmol·L-1 H2O2), calycosin group (20 μmol·L-1 calycosin), calycosin + LY294002 group (20 μmol·L-1 calycosin + 10 μmol·L-1 LY294002), and calycosin + Stattic group (20 μmol·L-1 calycosin + 3 μmol·L-1 Stattic). CCK-8 assay and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the proliferation of cells and flow cytometry was applied to detect cell apoptosis and cycle. The protein expression of phosphorylated (p)-JAK2, p-STAT3, p-protein kinase B (Akt), GP130, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was detected by Western blotting. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed low proliferation activity and high apoptosis rate of cells (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, calycosin (20 μmol·L-1) group displayed high proliferation activity and low apoptosis rate of cells (P<0.05). Compared with calycosin (20 μmol·L-1) group, both phosphatidylinosirtol-3-kinases (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 and STAT3 inhibitor Stattic significantly reduced the proliferation activity and increased the apoptosis rate of cells (P<0.05). The protein expression of p-JAK2, p-STAT3, p-Akt, GP130, and IL-6 in the model group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the expression of the above indicators was lower in each treatment group than in the model group (P<0.05). ConclusionCalycosin can promote the proliferation and inhibit the apoptosis of astrocytes with oxidative injury by inhibiting the phosphorylation of PI3K/Akt pathway and JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Objective:To explore the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and renal volume in assessing fetal kidney development and disease.Methods:From January 2016 to October 2020, 84 fetuses with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) were identified with MRI (CAKUT group), and 97 fetuses with no significant abnormalities on MRI or postnatal follow-up (control group) from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively. ADC value and renal volume were measured to compare the two groups, and the relationship was analyzed between these two parameters in the control group with gestational age, location (left or right kidney), and fetal gender. Two independent or paired sample t-tests, and linear correlation analyses, were adopted for the statistical analysis. Results:(1) There were 84 pregnant women in the CAKUT group, including a twin pregnancy, with an average age of (29±4) years old, ranging from 21 to 39 years old. The gestational age at MRI was (26±4) weeks with a range of 21-34 weeks. Of the 85 fetuses, 52 were male (61.2%), and 33 were female (38.8%). The polycystic dysplastic kidney was found in 32 cases (37.6%), hydronephrosis in 29 cases (34.1%), and an isolated kidney in 24 cases (28.2%). There were 97 singleton pregnancies in the control group, including 45 (46.4%) male and 52 (53.6%) female fetuses. The average maternal age was (30±5) years old, with a range of 19-41 years old, and the gestational week at MRI was (27±4) weeks, with a range of 21-34 weeks. (2) In the control group, the mean ADC value and renal volume were (1.255±0.112)×10 -3 mm2/s and (4 747±2 479) mm 3, which were negatively ( R 2=0.30, P<0.01) and positively correlated ( R 2=0.80, P<0.01) with the gestational age, respectively. There was no significant difference between ADC value and renal volume between different fetal gender in the control group. (3) The ADC value and the renal volume of fetuses with polycystic dysplastic kidney [(1.720±0.200) ×10 -3 mm2/s and (8 154±8 337) mm 3] were higher than those in the control group ( t=-13.11 and-3.08, P<0.001 and P=0.004). Compared with the control group, ADC of fetuses with hydronephrosis [(1.333±0.171) ×10 -3 mm2/s] was higher ( t=-3.90, P<0.001); and the renal volume [(7 201±4 460) mm 3] was larger but without statistical significance. The fetuses with an isolated kidney had an increasing trend in renal volume [(5 239±4 244) mm 3] and a decreasing trend in the ADC value [(1.239±0.125) ×10 -3 mm2/s] when compared with the normal fetuses, but neither difference was significant. Conclusions:In normal fetuses, the ADC value decreases, and the renal volume increases with the gestational age. Fetuses with CAKUT may have a larger kidney than normal.

Objective:To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on the inflammatory response of PC12 cells induced by oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) and its related mechanism.Methods:The PC12 cells were cultured in vitro were randomly divided into sham(control) group, OGD group, LMWH group and blocking agent group. The latter group was divided into six groups: Eritoran+ OGD group, LMWH+ Eritoran+ OGD group, ST2825+ OGD group, LMWH+ ST2825+ OGD group, pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC)+ OGD group and LMWH+ PDTC+ OGD group. OGD cell model was established. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect cell activity. The expressions of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), MyD88 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) mRNA and protein were detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. The concentration of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and S100β were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:The cell activity of OGD group was significantly lower than that of control group on the first, second, third day ( P<0.05). Compared with OGD group, the activity of LMWH group was increased on the second, third day ( P<0.05), but lower than that of control group ( P<0.01). The mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB was significantly increased in OGD group compared with the control group ( F=144.9, F=710.5, 79.51, P<0.01). Compared with OGD group, the mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB were significantly decreased after treatment with LMWH ( P<0.01), and the specific inhibitor of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB enhanced the anti-inflammatory effect of LMWH. The protein expression of this pathway was consistent with that of the gene. The concentration of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and S100β in OGD group was significantly higher than control group ( P<0.05). After treatment with LMWH, the concentrations of inflammatory factors and S100β were significantly decreased compared with OGD group ( P<0.01). When hinder TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB respectively by Eritoran, ST2825 and PDTC, the concentrations of inflammatory factors and S100β were significantly decreased, but it was still higher than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:OGD can cause pathological damage of PC12 cells, including high expression level of S100β and aggravation of inflammatory reaction. LMWH can improve cell activity, down-regulate inflammatory reaction degree and protect the cells. Using inhibitors of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway to inhibit the corresponding target, the up-regulation of inflammatory factors by OGD can be inhibited in varying degrees. These suggested that LMWH may regulate inflammatory reaction of PC12 cells induced by OGD through TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of fetal tethered cord (TC) prenatally diagnosed by MRI.Methods:Clinical data of 38 fetuses diagnosed as having TC by MRI, including 36 singletons and two fetuses who were both one of dichorionic diamniotic twins, were retrospectively collected and analyzed in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2015 to August 2019. According to whether conus medullaris was located above the bladder or reached the lower edge of the bladder, all cases were divided into high or low groups. Pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups using Fisher's exact test and Student's t-test. Results:(1) The gestational age at MRI was (25.5±4.7) weeks. Among the 38 cases, 14 (36.8%) were isolated TC, 24 (63.2%) were complicated by other anomalies. The meningocele was responsible for the most (39.5%, n=15). The results of the ultrasound were consistent with those of MRI in 24 cases (63.2%). While in the other 14 cases (36.8%), the ultrasound only showed vertebral body's abnormal morphology, after which further MRI examination revealed a tethered cord. (2) Twenty-nine women (76.3%) chose to terminate the pregnancy. One patient (2.6%) underwent fetal reduction at 23 gestational weeks (one normal twin was delivered prematurely), and one (2.6%) was lost to follow-up. Seven (18.4%) cases continued the pregnancies to delivery. The postnatal follow-up period was 8.1 months (4.0 to 54.9 months). Two infants without comorbidities showed normal growth and development. Another three cases underwent surgeries after birth, and two cases died in the neonatal period. (3) The average width of the medullary cone was (2.5±0.8) cm. There was no significant difference in the spinal cord width between the high [(2.5±0.8) cm, n=34] and low group [(2.7±1.1) cm, n=4]. Six pregnancies (17.6%) in the high group was continued to delivery, and one of the neonates died of severe hydrocephalus. One patient in the low group (1/4) was delivered, while the baby died of neonatal asphyxia. Conclusions:Fetuses with isolated TC are prone to have a good prognosis. Further study should focus on the relation between the high or low position of the conus medullaris and pregnancy outcomes.
