		                        			Objective To investigate the relationship between cyclin A2 (CCNA2) and the prognosis of colon cancer, and its possible mechanism from the perspective of immune infiltration. Methods We downloaded the transcriptome data of colon cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Clinicopathological feature analysis and survival analysis were performed based on the expression levels of CCNA2. A total of 75 specimens of colon cancer and normal tissues were collected, and the expression level of CCNA2 was analyzed using immunohistochemical methods. Multivariate analysis was conducted to explore its relationship with clinicopathological features. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to assess the potential molecular functions of CCNA2 in colon cancer. CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to calculate the correlation between CCNA2 and immune-cell infiltration in colon cancer. Results Database and immunohistochemical analyses indicated that CCNA2 was expressed at a significantly higher level in colon cancer tissues than normal tissues (P<0.001). The overall survival, disease-specific survival, and progression-free interval were all longer in the group with high CCNA2 expression than the group with low expression (all P<0.05). In tumor tissues, the expression level of CCNA2 decreased with increased pathological and TNM stages (P<0.05). The expression level of CCNA2 in normal tissues was consistently lower than that in colon cancer tissues across all clinical stages (all P<0.001). GSEA suggested that Wnt/β-catenin, KRAS, and other signaling pathways were enriched when CCNA2 was lowly expressed. CIBERSORT analysis revealed an increase in the infiltration of immune cells such as regulatory T cells and macrophages M0 when CCNA2 expression was low. Conclusion CCNA2 is highly expressed in colon cancer and closely associated with grade of pathology and TNM stage. It may recruit regulatory T cells through the KRAS and Wnt/β-catenin pathways, thereby reducing immune-cell infiltration and promoting colon cancer progression, leading to poor prognosis.

		                        			OBJECTIVE:Knee adduction moment and knee adduction angular impulse enlargement is the main biomechanical risk factor of knee osteoarthritis.According to the survey,a change in the foot progression angle could effectively change the motion mode of patients with knee osteoarthritis.However,the impact of toe-in and toe-out on knee adduction moment and knee adduction angular impulse in young and elderly patients did not reach a consensus.Therefore,this study comprehensively discussed the effect of foot progression angle on knee adduction moment and knee adduction angular impulse in different populations through meta-analysis and provided a reference for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:By June 2022,searches were conducted on Web of Science,EBSCO,PubMed and CNKI databases using"foot progression angle,knee adduction moment,knee adduction angular impulse,gait"as Chinese and English search terms.Self-controlled randomized controlled studies analyzing the effects of toe-in and toe-out on knee adduction moment bimodality and knee adduction angular impulse were included.The cochrane bias risk assessment tool was utilized to make a quality evaluation of the literature.Stata 15.1 software was used for subgroup analysis to determine the effect of foot progression angle on knee adduction moment and knee adduction angular impulse.Meta-regression analysis was used to further determine characteristics of outcome indicators(knee adduction moment,knee adduction angular impulse)changing with foot progression angle. RESULTS:(1)A total of 15 self-control trials and 2 randomized controlled trials(455 subjects)were included in the meta-analysis.All of the included articles were of medium to high quality.(2)The meta-analysis results showed that the toe-in gait could reduce the first peak of knee adduction moment(SMD=-0.380,95%CI:-0.710 to-0.060,P=0.022)and knee adduction angular impulse(SMD=-1.470,95%CI:-2.160 to-0.770,P<0.001)in young patients.The toe-out gait reduced the second peak of knee adduction moment(SMD=-0.720,95%CI:-1.010 to-1.440,P<0.001)in young patients.In addition,toe-in gait could reduce the first peak of knee adduction moment in elder patients(SMD=-0.550,95%CI:-0.800 to-0.300,P<0.001),but increase the second peak knee adduction moment of elderly(SMD=0.280,95%CI:-0.010 to 0.560,P=0.047).The toe-out gait could decrease the second peak knee adduction moment in this population(SMD=-0.510,95%CI:-0.830 to-0.190,P=0.002).(3)Meta-regression showed that the greater the toe-out in elderly patients,the lower the second peak knee adduction moment. CONCLUSION:(1)Toe-in reduced the first peak knee adduction moment and knee adduction angular impulse in young knee osteoarthritis patients aged 18 to 34 years.Since knee adduction moment and knee adduction angular impulse were associated with medial knee loading and knee osteoarthritis incidence,toe-in gait intervention may be a suitable rehabilitation strategy for young patients.(2)Toe-in increased the second peak of knee adduction moment in older knee osteoarthritis patients over 60 years of age,which may exacerbate knee osteoarthritis in this population.However,the second peak of knee adduction moment during walking in this population decreases as the toe-out increases,contributing to a reduction in medial knee loading,suggesting that older patients may consider using toe-out gait during walking.

		                        			Objective To investigate the effect of trunk control on the biomechanical characteristics of lower limb movements during Asian squats(AS)and Western squats(WS)in young adults to provide empirical support for the application and promotion of deep squat training.Methods Twenty-four healthy young male collegiate students performed AS and WS with and without bar control,and their lower limb kinematic and kinetic characteristics were collected using an infrared light-point motion capture system and a three-dimensional(3D)dynamometer.The 3D angles of the lower limbs were obtained using Cortex-642.6.2 software,based on the calculation of Euler angles,and the 3D moments were obtained by applying the inverse dynamics method.The effects of trunk control and deep squatting posture on the lower limb kinematic characteristics were examined using a two-factor analysis of variance with a 2×2 repeated design.Results There was no significant interaction between trunk control and the deep squatting posture for either kinematic or kinetic parameters(P>0.05).The WS group had a large knee flexion angle,peak patellofemoral contact force,and ratio of peak hip and knee extension moments,and small ankle dorsiflexion and hip flexion angles(P<0.05).The deep squat with a bar had a large ankle dorsiflexion angle,peak patellofemoral contact force,and hip flexion angle as well as a small knee flexion angle and ratio of peak hip and knee extension moments(P<0.05).Conclusions WS is helpful for training hip extension muscle groups,whereas AS is helpful for training knee extension muscle strength.The peak patellofemoral joint contact force of the WS is significantly greater than that of the AS;therefore,it is recommended that patients with patellofemoral joint pain use the AS.A squat with a bar can compensate for the body's balance;thus,people with limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion or anterior tibial muscle weakness may consider trunk control training,such as a deep squat with a bar.This may help improve lower limb stability during squats.

		                        			Vigabatrin-associated brain abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (VABAM) is a relatively rare side effect of vigabatrin, most of which are asymptomatic. However, there will be extremely rare cases with hyperkinetic disorders, myoclonus, tremor, and acute encephalopathy under certain circumstances. VABAM is often underappreciated by physicians and its accurate incidence remains unclear. A female infant who was diagnosed with infantile spasms and required adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy accompanied by various antiseizure medicines was reported. Unfortunately, she became lethargic and her spasm deteriorated gradually after vigabatrin exposure. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed abnormal signals bilaterally in the dorsal midbrain, thalamus, and rostral part of the pallidum. She had a seizure amelioration and became lively as a result of vigabatrin withdrawal. In the meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging returned to normal. Attempts were made to discover the risk factors of VABAM and potential pathogenesis. Further understanding of the disease should contribute to decreasing misdiagnosis and making precise decisions.

		                        			Objective:To analyze the timeliness and influencing factors of antiretroviral treatment (ART) among HIV/AIDS patients from 2017 to 2019 in Shandong province.Methods:Data were collected from the Chinese HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System, HIV/AIDS cases enrolled in antiretroviral therapy, from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019, ≥15 years of age and from the mainland of China were the subjects of the study. The general demographic characteristics (gender, age, ethnicity, education level, marital status, etc), infection routes, sample sources, date of diagnosis, baseline CD4+ T cell level, and clinical stage and other information were collected from the database. Univariate analysis was conducted for the timeliness of ART of the subjects by Chi square test, and the influencing factors associated with timeliness of ART were analyzed by binary non-conditional Logistic regression.Results:Among the 7 425 cases of HIV/AIDS, 6 813(91.8%) were male, 5 236(70.5%) had homosexual transmission, the age at the ART initiation was(36.05±12.51)years. The proportion of timeliness of ART within 30 d increased from 55.9% (1145/2050) in 2017 to 65.3% (1821/2789) in 2019. The possibility of timeliness of ART among HIV/AIDS who were married or cohabiting, education of high school and above were higher, with OR values at 1.136, 1.299. The possibility of timeliness of ART among HIV/AIDS cases whose domicile place is outside Shandong province were lower, with OR values at 0.664. The possibility of timeliness of ART in group of HIV/AIDS aging≥55, 45~54 and 35~44 years old were higher than that in 15~24 years old, with OR values at 1.530, 1.505 and 1.394. The possibility of timeliness of ART among the heterosexuals were lower than that of homosexuals, with OR values at 0.803. The possibility of timeliness of ART is lower for cases in places of detention centers than cases from volunteer testing and counseling, with OR values at 0.204. The possibility of timeliness of ART among HIV/AIDS cases whose CD4+ T lymphocyte at >500 cells/μL were lower than that of the cases whose CD4+ T lymphocyte at≤500 cells/μl, with OR values at 0.545. Patients without symptoms at baseline were less likely to receive prompt treatment than those with clinical symptoms, with OR values at 0.727. Patients with baseline clinical staging of stage Ⅳ, period of HIV/AIDS treatment with timeliness was longer than the cases with baseline clinical stages ofⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, with OR values at 1.307. Conclusions:The proportion of timeliness of ART increased from 2017 to 2019. Marital status, educational level, age, sample source, infection routes, baseline clinical stage, and CD4+ T lymphocyte levels were associated with the timeliness of ART.

		                        			Objective:To understand the driving factors of postpartum health promotion behaviors in pregnant women with gestational diabetes.Methods:From September to October 2019, the purpose of the sampling method was to select 14 cases of gestational diabetic gynaecologists who visited the outpatient department of diabetes care in our hospital as the research subjects. The phenomenological research method was used to conduct a semi-structured interview. Colaizzi′s 7-step analysis method was used to organize and analyze the data to refine the subject.Results:The driving force of postpartum health promotion behaviors of gestational diabetes mothers mainly came from the internal driving force and the external driving force. The internal driving force was mainly the uncertainty of gestational diabetes, the solution of the problem improves self-worth, and the post-traumatic growth made patients re-understand life. The external driving force was mainly family support, full mobilization of subjective initiative, quantitative diet intake and building of a healthy lifestyle.Conclusions:The driving factors for postpartum health promotion of gestational diabetic women are complex and diverse. Medical staff should timely grasp the post-natal health promotion status of gestational diabetic women, and promote their self-support and social support.

		                        			Objective:To understand the use of drug and its related factors among men who have sex with men, and to provide reference for the development of reasonable intervention measures.Methods:MSM was recruited from Jinan and Qingdao by means of on-site and internet recruiting from March to June in 2016. Anonymous questionnaires were conducted and HIV and syphilis serological tests were performed. The questionnaire included the general situation, sexual behavior, HIV related services and so on. Multi-factor unconditioned logistic regression model was used to explore related factors about rush poppers use.Results:The rush poppers use rate of 901 MSM was 30.1%(271/901), the age was (29.3±8.1) years, the HIV infection rate was 4.6% (41/901) and the syphilis infection rate was 8.7% (78/901). Multivariate analysis showed that compared with those who were>25 years old, the OR (95% CI) of those who were ≤ 25 years old was 1.571 (1.110-2.224); compared with the number of anal sexual behavior was<2 times in the last week, the OR (95% CI) of those whose number of anal sexual behavior was ≥2 times was 2.991 (1.100-8.132); compared with those who had not received peer education services in the last year, the OR (95% CI) of those who received peer education services was 13.651 (7.239-25.742). Conclusion:Rush poppers are very popular in the MSM crowd, and those who aged less than 25 years old, who had anal sex more than twice in the past week, and who had received peer education services were more likely to use rush poppers. We should carry out targeted interventions according to the characteristics.
