With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the ethical governance of AI has gained increasing attention. The Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence was issued by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2021, which clarified several principles for the ethical governance of AI. In the field of rehabilitation medicine, the research and application of AI technology have significantly improved patients’ quality of life and survival. However, due to the specificity of the service population in rehabilitation medicine, which is mostly for the sick, injured, disabled, and elderly, a series of complex ethical issues have also arisen. This paper analyzed in detail the ethical issues and challenges encountered in the research and application of AI technology in the field of rehabilitation medicine from various aspects, such as informed consent, security of privacy and data, patients’ physical and mental rehabilitation, compliance regulation, protection of specific groups, and promotion of equity. According to the principles of the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and others, response strategies were proposed, including multi-party collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation, improving and refining relevant laws and regulations, strengthening ethical education across society, establishing accountability mechanisms, increasing investment, promoting equity, and other measures, to promote the healthy development of research and application of AI technology in the field of rehabilitation, as well as benefit humanity.

ObjectiveTo analyze the factors influencing meropenem-related liver injury (MRLI) and to explore their clinical predictive value. MethodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted, and the Chinese Hospital Pharmacovigilance System (CHPS) was used to establish a retrieval scheme. A total of 1 625 hospitalized cases using meropenem from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected. Patients were divided into case group (n=62) and control group (n=1 563) based on the presence or absence of liver injury. Clinical data and laboratory indicators from both groups were collected and analyzed. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between the two groups, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data not conforming to a normal distribution. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. A multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors for MRLI. A Logistic regression equation was established, and the predictive value of these factors was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. ResultsThe results of univariate analysis indicated that the rates of male patients, hypoproteinemia, shock, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, sepsis, and liver, gallbladder, and cardiovascular diseases, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), and procalcitonin (PCT), and the number of hospitalization days were significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (P<0.05), and that the platelet levels in the case group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex (odds ratio [OR]=2.080, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.050 — 4.123, P=0.036), admission to the ICU (OR=8.207, 95%CI: 4.094 — 16.453, P<0.001), comorbidity with gallbladder disease (OR=8.240, 95%CI: 3.605 — 18.832, P<0.001), ALP (OR=1.012, 95%CI: 1.004 — 1.019, P=0.004), GGT (OR=1.010, 95%CI: 1.005 — 1.015, P<0.001), and PLT (OR=0.997, 95%CI: 0.994 — 0.999, P=0.020) were the influential factors for MRLI. The areas under the ROC curve of ALP, GGT, and PLT were 0.589, 0.637, and 0.595, respectively, and the AUC of them combined was 0.837. ConclusionMale sex, ICU admission, comorbidity with gallbladder disease, increased ALP, increased GGT, and decreased PLT were influencing factors for MRLI, and a combination of factors has a better predictive value for the occurrence of MRLI.

Objective:
To examine the association between parent-child relationships and bullying behaviors among junior high school students, and to explore the moderating effect of community cohesion, so as to provide evidences for bullying intervention strategies.
Methods:
From November to December 2017, a cluster sampling method was used to survey 1 589 students in grades 6- 8 from three junior high schools in Jing an District,Shanghai. Anonymous electronic questionnaires collected data on parent-child relationships, community cohesion, and bullying behaviors. Multivariate Logistic regression analyzed the associations and moderation effects.
Results:
The prevalence of bullying behaviors among junior high school students was 7.80%. Spearman correlation analysis revealed negative associations between both parent-child relationships ( r =-0.13) and community cohesion ( r =-0.10) with bullying behaviors, while parent-child relationships positively correlated with community cohesion ( r =0.29) (all P <0.01). Junior high school students with positive parent-child relationships and higher perceived community cohesion showed lower risks of bullying behaviors ( OR=0.51, 95%CI =0.36-0.72; OR=0.58, 95%CI =0.45-0.76), with a significant interaction effect between the two factors (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Positive parent-child relationships and community cohesion are negatively associated with bullying behaviors in middle school students. Supportive family relationships help reduce bullying, while stronger community cohesion enhances the protective effect of positive parent-child relationships against bullying.

BACKGROUND:Currently,there is no drug that can completely cure osteoarthritis and its pathogenesis is still unclear.Circular RNAs(circRNAs)are differentially expressed in patients with osteoarthritis and are closely associated with various pathological processes in osteoarthritis.circRNAs play an important role in various physiological and pathological processes,such as chondrocyte homeostasis,extracellular matrix formation,and inflammatory response. OBJECTIVE:To mainly review the effects of circRNAs on pathological factors related to osteoarthritis,as well as the types and expression levels of circRNAs in osteoarthritis. METHODS:Related articles published from 1976 to August 2023 were retrieved from CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Medline,Web of Science and Elsevier databases.The keywords were"osteoarthritis,circular RNA,non-coding RNA,synovial tissue,chondrocytes"in Chinese and English,respectively.All the relevant articles were screened,summarized,analyzed,and finally 69 papers were included in the review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:circRNAs are non-coding RNAs widely found in eukaryotic cells,with covalently closed continuous loop structure,but with no 5'hat structure and 3'poly A tail,which are involved in multi-gene and multi-target regulatory networks and cannot be degraded by nucleic acid exonucleases(RNase R).circRNAs have a high abundance,high conservativeness and stability,and cell and tissue specificity.circRNAs have biological functions such as acting as molecular sponges for miRNAs,regulating linear RNA transcription and RNA shearing,interacting with RNA-bound proteins,and translating proteins.circRNAs regulate chondrocyte apoptosis and proliferation,degradation of cartilage extracellular matrix,and inflammation and other physiopathologic processes.circRNAs are expected to become biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for clinical diagnosis and prognosis of osteoarthritis,and may become a new strategy for clinical treatment of osteoarthritis in the future.

Objective:To understand the molecular characteristics of the mutant strain of polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2) gene of influenza A (H1N1pdm) in Guangdong province, and to explore its specific molecular sites, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza virus.Methods:Throat swab samples were collected from 2 cases infected with PB2 gene variant strains for virus isolation, and 23 influenza virus strains were selected from Guangdong province for sequencing analysis. The reference sequences and vaccine strain sequences provided by GISAID were used to perform evolutionary analysis on hemagglutinin (HA) and PB2 genes. Virus strain antigen analysis and neuraminidase (NA) inhibition test were carried out. PB2 protein model was constructed and polymerase activity was analyzed.Results:H399N amino acid mutation occurred in the HA gene of PB2-D701N and PB2-A271S variant strains, both of which belonged to the branch of 6B.1A.5a.2a. They belonged to the same big branch and different small branches as the vaccine strain A/Victoria/4897/2022, and they are all vaccine-like strains. In the three-dimensional structure, the mutations of PB2-D701N and PB2-A271S change charge and hydrophobicity.Conclusions:PB2-D701 and A271 were highly conserved, and PB2 mutant strains were not the dominant strains. The PB2 mutant had high antigenicity with the vaccine. The PB2 mutant strain is sensitive to NA inhibitors. The three-dimensional model predicted that PB2-D701N mutation could enhance virulence and affect transmissibility of influenza virus, while PB2-A271S mutation could affect polymerase activity and polymerase complex synthesis of influenza virus.
