Objective: To explore the key factors affecting the selection and effectiveness of bladder management modalities in patients with spinal cord injury，so as to provide reference for the optimization of individualized bladder management strategies. Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 78 patients with spinal cord injury treated in our hospital during Jan.1,2013 and Dec.31,2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The distribution of bladder management modalities among different grades of injuries was analyzed. Bowker symmetry test was used to evaluate the difference between bladder management modalities at discharge and at the end of follow-up. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of bladder management effects. Plotting Kaplan-Meier survival curves were adopted to calculate the median time of changes in bladder management. Results: At discharge，there were 9 cases of self-catheterization，19 cases of intermittent catheterization，22 cases of reflexive voiding，26 cases of long-term catheterization，and 2 cases using urinary collector.At the end of follow-up，there were 15 cases of self-catheterization，8 cases of intermittent catheterization，34 cases of reflexive voiding，14 cases of long-term catheterization，and 7 cases using urinary collector.There was a significant difference between the modalities of bladder management at discharge and at the end of follow-up (χ =21.43，P=0.018).Multiple linear regression showed a significant decrease of 8.60 in the total neurogenic bladder symptom score (NBSS) for grade D injuries compared with grade A injuries (P=0.026). The median time to bladder management change was 7.93 months (95%CI:5.44-9.44), with approximately 50% of patients experiencing a change in bladder management within 8 months after discharge. Conclusion: The modalities of bladder management changed significantly after discharge.The grade of injury was a key factor affecting the effectiveness of bladder management.Higher grade was associated with worse effectiveness of bladder management.

Objective: Previous observational studies have confirmed the correlation between gut microbiota and bladder cancer，but the causal relationship is still unclear.This study aimed to explore the causal relationship between them with Mendelian randomization. Methods: Genetic variation summary data of 211 gut microbiota and bladder cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were obtained from the MiBioGen Consortium and Finngen database.Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) closely related to these studies were screened as instrumental variables.The causal relationship between gut microbiota and bladder cancer were analyzed with inverse variance weighting (IVW)，MR-Egger，weighted median，maximum likelihood，robust adjustment feature score and MR-PRESSO，with IVW as the primary analysis method.Additionally，sensitivity analysis was used to test the heterogeneity (Cochran Q) and horizontal pleiotropy (MR-Egger intercept term and global test from MR-PRESSO estimator) to ensure the robustness of the results. Results: The IVW results indicated that Lachnospiraceae UCG004 (OR：1.42)，Desulfovibrionales (Order) (OR：1.48)，Eubacterium ruminantium group (OR：1.33)，Olsenella (OR：1.24)，Ruminococcaceae UCG002 (OR：1.39)，Ruminococcaceae UCG005 (OR：1.42) and Ruminococcaceae UCG013 (OR：1.64) significantly increased the risk of bladder cancer.Conversely，Bacteroidetes (Phylum) (OR：0.61)，Eubacterium brachy group (OR：0.80)，Ruminococcaceae UCG004 (OR：0.73)，Rikenellaceae (Family) (OR：0.67)，Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group (OR：0.47), Adlercreutzia (OR：0.73) and an unknow genus (OR：0.75) were associated with a reduced risk of bladder cancer.Sensitivity analyses did not reveal any heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. Conclusion: This study reveals the causal role of 14 gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of bladder cancer，among which Lachnospiraceae UCG004，Desulfovibrionales (Order)，Eubacterium ruminantium group，Olsenella，Ruminococcaceae UCG002，Ruminococcaceae UCG005 and Ruminococcaceae UCG013 are risk factors for bladder cancer，while Bacteroidetes (Phylum)，Eubacterium brachy group，Ruminococcaceae UCG004，Rikenellaceae (Family)，Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group，Adlercreutzia and an unknown genus are the protective factors.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） is a multisystem disease associated with obesity， insulin resistance， and dyslipidemia and has a complex pathogenesis. Studies have shown that gut microbiota dysbiosis is closely associated with the onset of NAFLD， and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can improve the laboratory markers and clinical symptoms of NAFLD patients by regulating intestinal microbiota and its metabolites. This article elaborates on the association between NAFLD and gut microbiota， the involvement of gut microbiota dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of NAFLD， and the possible mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine treatment in improving NAFLD from the perspective of gut microbiota， in order to provide new ideas for the treatment of NAFLD.

This paper investigates the effect of myricetin (MYR) on renal fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and common bile duct ligation (CBDL) in mice and its mechanism. The animal experiment has been approved by the Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University (NO: 2022-10-020). Thirty-five ICR mice were divided into control, UUO, UUO+MYR, CBDL and CBDL+MYR groups. H&E and Masson staining were used to detect pathological changes in kidney tissues. Western blot (WB) was used to detect the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in renal tissue, and total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity detection kit (WST-8) was used to detect the changes of total SOD in renal tissue of CBDL mice. In vitro, HK-2 cells and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1, 10 ng·mL^-1) were used to induce fibrotic model, and high glucose (30 mmol·L^-1) was used to induce oxidative stress model, and then treated with different concentrations of MYR, WB was used to detect the expression of fibrosis and oxidative stress-related proteins, while NIH/3T3 cells were treated with different concentrations of MYR, and their effects on cell proliferation were detected by 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (Brdu). The results showed that the renal lesions in UUO group and CBDL group were severe, collagen deposition was obvious, the expression of collagen-Ⅰ (COL-Ⅰ), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), fibronectin (FN), vimentin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) protein was up-regulated, and the activity of SOD enzyme in CBDL group was significantly decreased. MYR partly reversed the above changes after treatment. MYR inhibited the proliferation of NIH/3T3 cells but had no effect on the proliferation of HK-2 cells, and decreased the upregulation of PAI-1, FN and vimentin in HK-2 cells stimulated by TGF-β1. MYR can also up-regulate the down-regulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in HK-2 cells stimulated by high glucose. To sum up, MYR can improve renal fibrosis in vivo and in vitro, probably by inhibiting the proliferation of fibroblasts and activating Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway to inhibit oxidative stress.

Objective To explore the causal relationship between family resilience and mental health in military personnel population.Methods A total of 204 military personnel were recruited from an army unit stationed in Western China with cluster convenience sampling.Family Resilience Scale(FRS)and Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90)were used to survey them twice,in an interval of 4 months.Amos 26.0 was applied to construct a cross-lag model and analyze the data.Results After controlling mental symptoms from the first survey,family resilience in the first measure significantly predicted mental symptoms in the second measure(β=-0.14,P＜0.05).After controlling for family resilience from the first survey,mental symptoms in the first measure significantly predicted family resilience in the second measure(β=-0.13,P＜0.05).Conclusion The relationship between family resilience and mental health is mutually causal in military personnel,and one predicts the other one.Our findings highlight the key dimensions of the relationship between the two.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of tuberculosis in patients with autoimmune diseases after tumor necrosis factor-αinhibitors.Methods Clinical data of 33 patients with TB after biologics(tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors)treated in Guangzhou Chest Hospital from January 2019 to March 2023 were collected,including 25 males and 8 females,with a median age of 32 years.The clinical symptoms,laboratory results,imaging and tracheoscopic features,pathological features,treatment and outcome were analyzed retrospectively.Results The common clinical manifestations were cough(26/33),sputum(23/33)and fever(17/33).The most common cases were pulmonary tuberculosis(32/33),bronchial tuberculosis(15/33),mediastinum and hilar lymph node tuberculosis(11/33).Bilateral lung spread of tuberculosis(21/33),intrapulmonary spread of tuberculosis(bronchus,mediastinal hilar lymph nodes,pleura)(19/33),extrapulmonary tuberculosis(18/33),pulmonary tuberculosis with intrapulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis(26/33).Blood CD4+T lymphocyte test was normal(23/33),and blood IGRA test was positive(27/33).Pulmonary imaging miliary nodules(8/33).The histopathology of the lymph nodes showed atypical granulomatous nodules.The duration of anti-tuberculosis treatment is 8-32 months.1 case of death.Conclusion Patients with autoimmune diseases complicated with tuberculosis after the application of tumor necrosis fact-α inhibitor are more likely to have double lung lesions,which are easy to spread to lung tissues and multiple organs of the body,and have decreased immune function.Most of them need to extend the treatment course,and the prognosis is generally good after comprehensive treatment.

BACKGROUND:Increasing studies have shown that autophagy plays an important role in the treatment of osteoarthritis,and moderate autophagy can preserve the normal physiological function of osteoarticular chondrocytes.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)monomers can target and modulate autophagy to treat osteoarthritis,and their characteristics such as single components,clear efficacy,low price,and easy availability have obvious benefits in the treatment of osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE:To review the effects of TCM monomers on the targeted regulation of autophagy in the treatment of osteoarthritis and the research progress,with a view to laying a foundation for the treatment of osteoarthritis and even other bone metabolic diseases.METHODS:Relevant literature published from January 2012 to October 2022 was retrieved in PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,and WanFang using the keywords of"traditional Chinese medicine,Chinese herbal monomer,autophagy,osteoarthritis"in English and Chinese.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed,and 63 relevant articles were finally included by screening through reading the title,abstract,and full-text content.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:TCM monomers can treat osteoarthritis by targeting autophagy to inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis,protect cartilage extracellular matrix,reduce inflammation and antagonize oxidative stress injury.Different TCM monomers can regulate autophagy in the same way,and the same TCM monomers can affect autophagy in different ways.The combination of multiple monomers and the multi-target and multi-pathway regulation of autophagy by TCM monomers remain to be explored.The regulation of autophagy by TCM monomers can provide new ideas and strategies for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis.Moderate regulation of autophagy by TCM monomers to keep the autophagic flux unimpeded may be the key to treating osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND:Distal tibial tuberosity-high tibial osteotomy is a surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis,but there is still a lack of clinical studies on its effect on ankle joints. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of distal tibial tuberosity-high tibial osteotomy on ankle angle on coronal plane of the radiography of the full length of lower limb in weight loading. METHODS:Data of 40 patients(41 knees)with distal tibial tuberosity-high tibial osteotomy from March 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,including 31 females and 9 males,20 left knees and 21 right knees,aged 49-75 years,mean(63.44±6.57)years.The radiographic data of the full length of the lower limb in weight loading were collected before,week 2 and week 48 postoperatively.Hip-knee-ankle angle,talar tilt angle,tilt angle of the ankle,tibiocrural angle,and tibial articular surface angle were measured before and after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Hip-knee-ankle angle improved from(-6.24±3.69)° before operation to(2.59±3.49)° week 2 postoperatively and(2.15±3.49)° week 48 postoperatively.The tilt angle of the ankle changed from(-7.90±3.11)° before operation to(-2.51±2.59)° week 2 postoperatively and(-2.46±2.42)° week 48 postoperatively,with statistically significant difference(P<0.001).(2)There was no significant difference in talar tilt angle,tibiocrural angle,and tibial articular surface angle before and week 2 postoperatively.(3)No significant difference in the angle changes was detected between week 2 and week 48 postoperatively.(4)It is indicated that distal tibial tuberosity-high tibial osteotomy can not only correct genu varus but also improve ankle angle.This result remains stable after 48 weeks of weight-bearing activities.

BACKGROUND:More and more studies have shown that oxidative stress should play an important role in the treatment of osteoporosis.Oxidative stress should cause the accumulation of oxidation activity,which will damage bone-related cells.Finally,it causes the imbalance of bone resorption and bone formation,resulting in a decrease in bone volume and the destruction of the slight structure.Research in recent years has found that some natural products can regulate oxidative stress to treat osteoporosis.The characteristics of extensive sources and small side effects have obvious advantages in the treatment of osteoporosis,and the efficacy is objective. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the mechanism of natural product regulation of oxidation stress in treatment of osteoporosis,conduct a review based on the latest related research progress,provide reference and ideas for more natural products to treat osteoporosis in the future,and provide data support for the clinical application of natural compounds in the treatment of osteoporosis. METHODS:"oxidative stress,free radical,antioxidant,phytotherapy,plant extracts,medicinal plants,herbal medicine,osteoporosis,bone density,bone loss"were used as the keywords in PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane,VIP,CBM,WanFang,and CNKI databases to search relevant articles published from January 2010 to February 2023.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed,and 64 relevant articles were selected by reading titles,abstracts,and full texts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Some natural products have antioxidant effects and can regulate osteogenic differentiation,osteoblast bone matrix mineralization,osteoclast-mediated bone resorption,proliferation,differentiation,activity,and apoptosis of bone-related cells by improving oxidative stress,thus affecting bone metabolism.(2)These natural products with antioxidant effects play a role in treating osteoporosis by improving bone remodeling balance.(3)The research on the combination of a variety of natural products to improve osteoporosis remains to be explored.(4)The use of natural products to regulate oxidative stress may become a powerful weapon for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis in the future.
