RESUMO
Objective: To further improve the understanding of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), we retrospectively analyzed and summarized the clinical characteristics, treatment status, and survival status of patients with PNH in Zhejiang Province. Methods: This study included 289 patients with PNH who visited 20 hospitals in Zhejiang Province. Their clinical characteristics, comorbidity, laboratory test results, and medications were analyzed and summarized. Results: Among the 289 patients with PNH, 148 males and 141 females, with a median onset age of 45 (16-87) years and a peak onset age of 20-49 years (57.8% ). The median lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level was 1 142 (604-1 925) U/L. Classified by type, 70.9% (166/234) were classical, 24.4% (57/234) were PNH/bone marrow failure (BMF), and 4.7% (11/234) were subclinical. The main clinical manifestations included fatigue or weakness (80.8%, 235/289), dizziness (73.4%, 212/289), darkened urine color (66.2%, 179/272), and jaundice (46.2%, 126/270). Common comorbidities were hemoglobinuria (58.7% ), renal dysfunction (17.6% ), and thrombosis (15.0% ). Moreover, 82.3% of the patients received glucocorticoid therapy, 70.9% required blood transfusion, 30.7% used immunosuppressive agents, 13.8% received anticoagulant therapy, and 6.3% received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 84.4% (95% CI 78.0% -91.3% ) . Conclusion: Patients with PNH are more common in young and middle-aged people, with a similar incidence rate between men and women. Common clinical manifestations include fatigue, hemoglobinuria, jaundice, renal dysfunction, and recurrent thrombosis. The 10-year OS of this group is similar to reports from other centers in China.

Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological features of prostate cancers with BRCA2 pathogenic mutations, and the association between BRCA2 pathogenic mutation and clinicopathological characteristics. Patient survivals were also examined. Methods: Clinicopathological data of 249 prostate cancer patients who underwent genetic testing in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, China from June 2014 to August 2021 were collected. A retrospective analysis of histopathological morphology, clinicopathological characteristics, and patient survivals was conducted. Results: The genetic testing in the 249 prostate cancer patients showed a pathogenic mutation of DNA damage repair gene (DRG) in 73 cases (73/249, 29.3%), including 22 cases (8.8%) with BRCA2 pathogenic mutation and 51 cases with pathogenic mutations of other DRG. Among the 22 patients with BRCA2 pathogenic mutation, 14 patients (5.6%) harbored germline mutations and 8 patients (3.2%) somatic mutations. Their ages ranged from 48 to 91 years, with a median of 67 years. Seventeen patients (77.3%) had distant metastasis, including 16 cases with bone metastasis and 1 case with multiple metastases. Thirteen patients (59.1%) were castration-resistant prostate cancer. The histological type was mainly classical prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma, including 16 cases (72.7%) with intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P). Six cases (27.3%) showed focal neuroendocrine differentiation. Perineural/vascular invasion and extraprostatic extension were seen in 11 cases (50.0%) and 8 cases (36.4%), respectively. The Gleason scores of 19 patients (86.4%) were≥8. IDC-P was more commonly found in patients with BRCA2 germline pathogenic mutation than those with BRCA2 somatic pathogenic mutation, other DRG pathogenic mutation or no-DRG pathogenic mutation (P=0.002). With a total follow-up time of 189 months, the median overall survival (OS) was 132.3 months. Patients with DRG pathogenic mutation had shorter OS than those with no-DRG pathogenic mutation (P=0.040). The OS of patients with BRCA2 germline pathogenic mutation did not significantly differ from that of patients with BRCA2 somatic pathogenic mutation, other DRG pathogenic mutation or no-DRG pathogenic mutation (P=0.216). Conclusions: The presence of BRCA2 gene pathogenic mutation is common in the prostate cancers with high Gleason grade, advanced clinical stage, and castration resistance. IDC-P is more commonly noted in cases with BRCA2 germline pathogenic mutation than those without. Patients with DRG pathogenic mutation have shorter OS than those with no-DRG pathogenic mutation, but there is no significant association between BRCA2 pathogenic mutations and OS.

Acute carbon monoxide poisoning can cause hypoxic injury to multiple organs. Neurological impairment and cardiac dysfunction are common manifestations of severe poisoning patients, but hemorrhagic complications are rare in clinic. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of a case of massive intrathecal hematoma of the rectus abdominis secondary to acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning was reported. The pathophysiological mechanism and treatment strategy of rectus sheath hematoma secondary to acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning was analyzed, in order to improve the understanding of hemorrhagic complications of carbon monoxide poisoning. This case suggests that for patients with a history of cardiovascular disease and taking anticoagulants, clinicians should be alert for the risk of bleeding when making medical decisions.

Objective: The epidemiological characteristics of tuberculosis deaths among Chinese residents from 2006 to 2021 were analyzed, and the tuberculosis mortality rate from 2022 to 2027 was predicted to provide a reference for tuberculosis prevention and control in China. Methods: The data set of tuberculosis deaths from 2006 to 2021 was published regularly by the China CDC, and the crude mortality rate (CMR) and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) were calculated according to the population structure of China in 2000. The distribution characteristics of age, sex, region, and time of tuberculosis deaths were analyzed, the Joinpoint regression analysis model was used to analyze the changing trend, and the grey model was applied to predict CMR and ASMR from 2022 to 2027. Results: From 2006 to 2021, the CMR and ASMR of tuberculosis showed a downward trend among males and females, urban and rural areas, and all age groups, in a word, all the Chinese residents. Except for the age group ≥85 years old, the mortality trend was insignificant. In the eastern, central, or western regions. CMR and ASMR were significantly higher in males than in females.CMR and ASMR were significantly lower in urban areas than in rural areas. In general, active tuberculosis patients present a higher mortality rate. The CMR and ASMR in the western region were higher than those in the eastern and central regions and lower in the eastern region than in the central region, but the differences were less obvious. The ASMR of the eastern cities was lower than that of the central and western regions, and the ASMR of the central cities was higher than that of the western region from 2006 to 2009 and 2012 and lower than that of the western region in other years. The ASMR in the western countryside was higher than that in the eastern and central regions and lower in the eastern part than in the central region, but the difference was not obvious. The grey model prediction results show that the CMR (/100 000) of Chinese residents from 2022 to 2027 is 1.585, 1.471, 1.360, 1.250, 1.143, and 1.038, and the ASMR (/100 000) is 0.779, 0.653, 0.531, 0.411, 0.295 and 0.181, respectively. Conclusions: The CMR and ASMR of tuberculosis will continue to decline, and extraordinary achievements have been made in tuberculosis prevention and control in Chinese residents from 2006 to 2021 and, presumably, from 2022 to 2027. However, tuberculosis screening and treatment programs in the western region, men, the elderly population, and rural areas should be further strengthened, and targeted prevention and control measures should be formulated to reduce mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in patients hospitalized for diarrhea and analyze the risk factors for CDI. METHODS: Stool samples were collected from 306 patients with diarrhea hospitalized in 3 university hospitals in a mid-south city of China from October to December, 2020. C. difficile was isolated by anaerobic culture, and qRT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of toxin A (tcdA) and B (tcdB) genes and the binary toxin genes (cdtA and cdtB). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was performed for the isolated strains without contaminating strains as confirmed by 16S rDNA sequencing. Etest strips were used to determine the drug resistance profiles of the isolated strains, and the risk factors of CDI in the patients were analyzed. RESULTS: CDI was detected in 25 (8.17%) out of the 306 patients. All the patients tested positive for tcdA and tcdB but negative for the binary toxin genes. Seven noncontaminated C. difficile strains with 5 ST types were isolated, including 3 ST54 strains and one strain of ST129, ST98, ST53, and ST631 types each, all belonging to clade 1 and sensitive to metronidazole and vancomycin. Hospitalization within the past 6 months (OR= 3.675; 95% CI: 1.405-9.612), use of PPIs (OR=7.107; 95% CI: 2.575-19.613), antibiotics for ≥1 week (OR=7.306; 95% CI: 2.274-23.472), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (OR=4.754; 95% CI: 1.504-15.031) in the past month, and gastrointestinal disorders (OR=5.050; 95% CI: 1.826-13.968) were all risk factors for CDI in the patients hospitalized for diarrhea. CONCLUSION: The CDI rate remains low in the hospitalized patients with diarrhea in the investigated hospitals, but early precaution measures are recommended when exposure to the risk factors is reported to reduce the risk of CDI in the hospitalized patients.

The presence of significant complex heterogeneity among patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major reason for the failure of drug treatments. Precision medicine seeks to elucidate the potential mechanisms of ARDS heterogeneity, define subtypes of ARDS patients with specific characteristics, and rapidly identify the patient groups most likely to benefit from targeted treatments, thereby maximizing treatment efficiency and minimizing adverse reactions. This review discusses on the current state of research on ARDS subtypes from multiple perspectives, including etiology, onset time, radiology, pathology, oxygenation index, respiratory mechanics, protein biomarkers, genetics, transcriptomics, and microbiomics, with the aim of deepening the understanding of the pathogenesis of ARDS and thereby guiding precision treatment of ARDS.

Objective: The preliminary results was reported regarding the treatment of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fixation in the last decade, especially preventing recurrence of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fan-shaped fixation. Methods: We selected 12 patients who received emergency operation in Chongqing Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2010 to March 2022. All of them were made a definite diagnose of mesenteric torsion by the preoperative CT scan or exploratory laparotomy. The recurrence of mesenteric torsion will be prevented by taking the operation of mesenteric fan-shaped fixation. This technique is suitable for the patient who is suffering total mesenteric torsion, but enteric necrosis is excluded affirmatively. The operation is consists of the following progress: (1) Exploratory laparotomy to check for necrosis of the bowel and for lesions other than torsion. (2) Mesenteric torsion derotation.(3) Mesenteric linear fixation; the right posterior lower border of the small mesentery (terminal ileal mesentery) is intermittently sutured to the posterior peritoneum of the right lower quadrant to increase the width of the base of the small mesentery. (4) Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation, which is fan-shaped to the lower left and fixed in the posterior peritoneum, shortening the length of the mesentery and further increasing the width of the mesentery and posterior peritoneal fixation. Results: A total of 12 patients with mesenteric torsion were treated by operation for 15 times in all. Among them, 3 cases received resection of most small bowel were performed without recurrence; 3 patients received only derotation for a total of 4 times, 2 cases recurred, 1 of them recurred twice; 4 cases underwent derotation and mesenteric linear fixation,and 1 case recurred. Four patients with derotation and mesenteric fan-shaped fixation recovered well without recurrence. Conclusion: Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation may be an effective operative type to reduce or avoid postoperative recurrence of mesenteric torsion.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of arthroscopic release in treating postoperative knee adhesion and investigate the influence of release timing on the treatment outcomes. Methods: A total of 50 patients who accepted arthroscopic release in Peking University Third Hospital from February 2017 to December 2021 were included in the retrospective cohort. The study cohort comprised 28 men and 22 women, with a mean age of (30.8±11.9) years. All the primary surgeries were manipulated under arthroscopes. A comparison was made between pre-and postoperative range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores, and Tegner activity scale scores for the patients. According to the interval between the appearance of adhesion and arthroscopic release, the patients were divided into four groups:<3 months group (n=12), 3-6 months group (n=16),>6-12 months group (n=14), and>12 months group (n=8). Inter-group comparisons on postoperative ROM, IKDC scores, and Tegner activity scale scores and improvement values of each outcome were conducted. Results: All the patients were followed up for (36.4±19.7) months. Patients gained significant improvement in flexion, extension, IKDC scores, and Tegner scores (125.0°±20.0° vs 75.7°±27.5°, 2.3°±4.8° vs 7.4°±7.3°, 69.8±17.7 vs 51.4±12.8, 4.1±2.1 vs 2.2±1.1) (all P<0.05), while the VAS scores did not show significant improvement. There were no significant differences among different groups in postoperative extension, IKDC scores or Tegner scores, nor in their improvements. However, patients in the ≤6 months group could gain better postoperative flexion and improvement in flexion than those in the >6 months group (129.9°±20.0° vs 118.8°±17.4°, 58.6°±32.8° vs 37.3°±23.1°) (P<0.05). Conclusions: Arthroscopic release presents a great effect in treating knee adhesion after arthroscopic operation. Once the symptoms of adhesion appear and physical rehabilitation fails to improve the ROM, one should accept early surgical intervention (less than 6 months) for a better outcome.

During 25 surveys of global Phytophthora diversity, conducted between 1998 and 2020, 43 new species were detected in natural ecosystems and, occasionally, in nurseries and outplantings in Europe, Southeast and East Asia and the Americas. Based on a multigene phylogeny of nine nuclear and four mitochondrial gene regions they were assigned to five of the six known subclades, 2a-c, e and f, of Phytophthora major Clade 2 and the new subclade 2g. The evolutionary history of the Clade appears to have involved the pre-Gondwanan divergence of three extant subclades, 2c, 2e and 2f, all having disjunct natural distributions on separate continents and comprising species with a soilborne and aquatic lifestyle and, in addition, a few partially aerial species in Clade 2c; and the post-Gondwanan evolution of subclades 2a and 2g in Southeast/East Asia and 2b in South America, respectively, from their common ancestor. Species in Clade 2g are soilborne whereas Clade 2b comprises both soil-inhabiting and aerial species. Clade 2a has evolved further towards an aerial lifestyle comprising only species which are predominantly or partially airborne. Based on high nuclear heterozygosity levels ca. 38 % of the taxa in Clades 2a and 2b could be some form of hybrid, and the hybridity may be favoured by an A1/A2 breeding system and an aerial life style. Circumstantial evidence suggests the now 93 described species and informally designated taxa in Clade 2 result from both allopatric non-adaptive and sympatric adaptive radiations. They represent most morphological and physiological characters, breeding systems, lifestyles and forms of host specialism found across the Phytophthora clades as a whole, demonstrating the strong biological cohesiveness of the genus. The finding of 43 previously unknown species from a single Phytophthora clade highlight a critical lack of information on the scale of the unknown pathogen threats to forests and natural ecosystems, underlining the risk of basing plant biosecurity protocols mainly on lists of named organisms. More surveys in natural ecosystems of yet unsurveyed regions in Africa, Asia, Central and South America are needed to unveil the full diversity of the clade and the factors driving diversity, speciation and adaptation in Phytophthora.

RESUMO
Objective: The National Central Cancer Registry estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths in China in 2022, using incidence and mortality data collected by the National Cancer Center. Methods: According to the data of 700 cancer registries in 2018 and the data of 106 cancer registries from 2010 to 2018, the age-period-cohort model was used to estimate the incidence rate and mortality rate of all cancers and 23 types of cancer in 2022, stratified by gender and urban and rural areas. We estimated the number of new cancer cases and deaths in China in 2022 based on the estimated rate and population data in 2022. Results: The estimated results showed that in 2022, there were approximately 4 824 700 new cancer cases in China (2 533 900 in males and 2 290 800 in females), with an age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population (ASIR) of 208.58 per 100 000 (212.67 per 100 000 for males and 208.08 per 100 000 for females). Approximately 2 903 900 new cancer cases occurred in urban areas, with an ASIR of 212.95 per 100 000. It was estimated about 1 920 800 new cancer cases in rural areas, and the ASIR was 199.65 per 100 000. The top five cancers (lung cancer 1 060 600, colorectal cancer 517 100, thyroid cancer 466 100, liver cancer 367 700 and female breast cancer 357 200) accounted for 57.4% of all new cases. The estimated number of deaths from cancer in China in 2022 was 2 574 200 (1 629 300 in males and 944 900 in females), with an age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese population (ASMR) of 97.08 per 100 000 (127.70 per 100 000 in males and 68.67 per 100 000 in females). The number of deaths from cancer in urban and rural areas was about 1 400 600 and 1 173 400, with the ASMR of 92.37 and 103.97 per 100 000 in urban and rural areas, respectively. The top five leading cause of cancers death (lung cancer 733 300, liver cancer 316 500, gastric cancer 260 400, colorectal cancer 240 000 and esophageal cancer 187 500) accounted for 67.5% of all cancer deaths. Lung cancer ranked first in the incidence and mortality in men and women. The incidence rate in urban areas was higher than that in rural areas, while the mortality rate was lower than that in rural areas. Conclusions: The burden of cancer in China is still relatively heavy, with significant differences in cancer patterns in gender, urban-rural, and regional. The burden of cancer presents a coexistence of developed and developing countries, and the situation of cancer prevention and control is still serious in China.

Objective: To investigate the association between alcohol consumption and hypertension and SBP, DBP and the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and lipid level in occupational population, and provide reference for the intervention and prevention of hypertension. Methods: Based on the data of Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd., the information about the demographic characteristics, behavior and lifestyle, blood pressure and lipids level of the participants were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination and blood biochemical test. Logistic/linear regression was used to analyze the association between alcohol consumption and hypertension, SBP and DBP. The individual and joint mediating effects of BMI, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, and TC were explored through causal mediating analysis. A network analysis was used to explore the correlation between alcohol consumption, BMI and lipid levels, and hypertension. Results: A total of 22 887 participants were included, in whom 1 825 had newly detected hypertension. Logistic regression analysis found that current/former drinkers had a 33% increase of risk for hypertension compared with never-drinkers (OR=1.33, 95%CI:1.19-1.48). Similarly, alcohol consumption could increase SBP (ß=1.05, 95%CI:0.69-1.40) and DBP (ß=1.10, 95%CI:0.83-1.38). Overall, BMI and lipid levels could mediate the associations between alcohol consumption and hypertension, SBP and DBP by 21.91%, 28.40% and 22.64%, respectively. BMI and TG were the main mediators, and they were also the two nodes with the highest edge weight and bridge strength centrality in the network of alcohol consumption, BMI, lipid levels and hypertension. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption was associated with increased risk for hypertension, and BMI and TG were important mediators and key nodes in the network. It is suggested that paying attention to the alcohol consumption, BMI and TG might help prevent hypertension in occupational population.

Objective: To explore the association between occupational noise perception and cardiovascular disease (CVD), depression symptoms, as well as their comorbidity in occupational population and provide evidence for the prevention and control of physical and mental illnesses. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, based on baseline data in population in 28 prefectures in Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province, and 33 districts (counties) in Chongqing municipality from Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. during October to December 2021. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information about noise perception, depressive symptoms, and the history of CVD. Latent profile analysis model was used to determine identify noise perception type, and multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between different occupational noise perception types and CVD, depression symptoms and their comorbidity. Results: A total of 30 509 participants were included, the mean age was (36.6±10.5) years, and men accounted for 82.0%. The direct perception of occupational noise, psychological effects and hearing/sleep impact of occupational noise increased the risk for CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity. By using latent profile analysis, occupational noise perception was classified into four levels: low, medium, high, and very high. As the level of noise perception increased, the association with CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity increased. In fact, very high level occupational noise perception were found to increase the risk for CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity by 2.14 (95%CI: 1.73-2.65) times, 8.80 (95%CI: 7.91-9.78) times, and 17.02 (95%CI: 12.78-22.66) times respectively compared with low-level occupational noise perception. Conclusions: Different types of occupational noise perception are associated with CVD and depression symptom, especially in the form of CVD complicated with depression symptom. Furthermore, the intensity of occupational noise in the work environment should be reduced to lower the risk for physical and mental health.

Objective: To understand the influence of unhealthy lifestyle on diabetic dyslipidemia and the key influencing factors in occupational population and provided scientific evidence for the prevention of diabetic dyslipidemia. Methods: Based on baseline data and follow-up data of Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. during 2021. Diabetic dyslipidemia was defined as diabetes plus one or more forms of dyslipidemia, and unhealthy lifestyle factors included smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy dietary patterns, low physical activity, and abnormal BMI. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle scores and diabetic dyslipidemia, network analysis was used to find and explore the key lifestyles influencing glycolipid metabolism. Results: A total of 25 631 subjects were included. People with unhealthy lifestyle score 2 and 3 were 1.93 (95%CI: 1.31-2.86) times and 2.37 (95%CI: 1.60-3.50) times more likely to have diabetes with ≥1 forms of dyslipidemia than those with scores of 0; People with unhealthy lifestyle score 1, 2 and 3 were 1.98 (95%CI: 1.08-3.61) times, 2.87 (95%CI: 1.60-5.14) times and 3.95 (95%CI: 2.22-7.06) times more likely to have diabetes with ≥2 forms of dyslipidemia than those with score 0. Network analysis found that abnormal BMI and HDL-C were the "bridge nodes" that link unhealthy lifestyles with diabetic dyslipidemia. Conclusion: The higher the score of unhealthy lifestyle, the higher the risk for diabetic dyslipidemia, abnormal BMI and HDL-C are key factors influencing the association between unhealthy lifestyle and diabetic dyslipidemia.

OBJECTIVE: Osteoporosis (OP) is closely associated with gut microbiota (GM), yet the nature of their causal relationship remains elusive. Therefore, this study aims to reverse causality between GM and OP by using population cohorts and two-sample MR (TSMR) analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we conducted an extensive genome-wide association study (GWAS) using publicly accessible summary statistics data for GM and OP. Employing rigorous criteria (p < 1*e-5), we identified independent genetic loci that exhibited significant associations with GM relative abundances as instrumental variables (IVs). A causal evaluation was primarily carried out using the inverse variance-weighted (IVW) method, supplemented by additional analyses such as MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode. RESULTS: We unveiled that increased abundances of the family Pasteurellaceae, order Pasteurellales, and genus Ruminococcaceae UCG004 were linked to an increased risk of OP. Conversely, the family Oxalobacteraceae, unknown family id.1000006161, genus Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group, unknown genus id.1000006162, and order NB1n were associated with a reduced risk of OP. To ensure the reliability of our findings, we conducted quality assessments through Cochrane's Q test and a leave-one-out analysis. Furthermore, the stability and consistency of the results were confirmed by the MR-Egger intercept test, Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) global test, and sensitivity analysis (p > 0.05). Our study reveals the causal relationships between 211 GM taxa and OP, pinpointing specific GM taxa associated with the risk of OP. This research sheds light on the genetic mechanisms that underlie GM-mediated OP and opens up promising avenues for identifying valuable biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in future OP research. CONCLUSIONS: This study establishes a substantial GM-OP link with specific taxa being identified, offering biomarkers for early detection, tailored interventions, and improved patient education. These findings enhance OP diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, promising more effective, individualized care and inspiring future research.

Oxidative stress and inflammation have been implicated in hepatic fibrosis. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities are among the pharmacological effects of hyperoside. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of hyperoside on hepatic fibrosis and elucidate the underlying processes that perpetuate this relationship. The findings indicated that hyperoside significantly protects mouse livers against damage, inflammation, and fibrosis. Specifically, attenuation of hepatic fibrosis is associated with lower expression of HMGB1 protein and reduced expression of Toll-like receptor 4, PARP-1, and nuclear factor-kB (NF-κB) p65 mRNA and protein. Furthermore, hyperoside inhibited the cytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1 and nuclear localization of NF-κB p65 in the hepatic tissues of mice. The results of this study indicate that hyperoside may impose a blocking or reversing effect on hepatic fibrosis; additionally, the corresponding hyperoside-dependent mechanism may be linked to PARP-1-HMGB1 pathway regulation.

A retrospective case series was used to evaluate the effect of plasmatrix bone blocks on bone augmentation at the level of the alveolar ridge. From January 2021 to April 2022, a total of 25 patients who underwent horizontal alveolar ridge level bone augmentation in the Department of Implantology, Wuhan Dazhong Stomatological Hospital were included. Autologous bone chips, deproteinized bovine bone matrix and plasma matrix were used to make plasma matrix bone blocks, combined with absorbable collagen membrane and plasma matrix membrane for guided bone regeneration. Three-dimensional reconstruction was performed on the cone beam CT data before operation and 6 months after operation, and the bone width and alveolar bone volume at 2 and 8 mm from the alveolar crest were measured. The paired t test was used to compare the differences between two time points of the same measurement item. The results showed that compared with preoperative [(5.5±3.4) mm] bone width, the bone width [(9.5±2.5) mm] at 2 mm from the alveolar crest was significantly increased at 6 months after operation (t=3.40, PË0.001); there was no significant difference in the bone width at the level of 8 mm from the alveolar crest between pre-and 6 months post-operation (t=3.13, P=0.050). The volumes of alveolar bone at 2 and 8 mm from the alveolar crest were (5 114±3 883) and (3 329±2 874) mm3 before operation, respectively, and these increased significantly to (5 999±4 318) and (4 042±3 260) mm3 (t=5.69, PË0.001; t=5.689, PË0.001) 6 month post-operation. The results from this study has shown that the use of plasmatrix bone blocks+absorbable collagen membrane+plasma matrix membrane for horizontal bone augmentation in guided bone regeneration has a promising bone augmentation outcome.

PURPOSE: Our aim was to perform a propensity score-matched study to compare the long-term functional outcomes and quality of life following intersphincteric resection vs. low anterior resection (LAR) with very low anastomosis. METHODS: Patients who underwent intersphincteric resection or low anterior resection with low anastomosis (≤ 4 cm from the anal verge) for rectal cancer between January 2017 and June 2020 were retrospectively included. A propensity score-matching process was performed. Functional outcomes and quality of life were assessed using the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Level Version (EQ-5D-3L), EORC-QLQ C30, EORC-QLQ CR29, Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS), Wexner, and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaires. The primary outcome was the presence of LARS at least 12 months after surgery. The second outcome was the postoperative quality of life of included patients. RESULTS: After propensity matching, 128 patients were included, including 58 males and 70 females with a median age of 59.5. Patients in the intersphincteric resection group showed a higher incidence of incontinence to flatus (32.8% versus 14.0%, p = 0.043) and stools (42.2% versus 21.9%, p = 0.046), pain/discomfort (25.0% versus 7.8%, p = 0.001), and bowel dysfunction, while the LARS scores (15.0 versus 13.2, p = 0.461) and major LARS rates (26.6% versus 14.1%, p = 0.078) were comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION: ISR leads to increased bowel incontinence rate and increased anal pain, without affecting the grade of low anterior resection syndrome, fecal urgency, and clustering. LAR might be the preferred sphincteric-preserving approach when negative resection margins and a safe anastomosis are guaranteed. Patients should be fully informed about potential functional impairment after sphincter-preservation procedures.

OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 has greatly impacted global health, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have faced numerous challenges during the pandemic, including concerns about infection, limited medical resources, and shortages of medication. While vaccination is a crucial strategy against COVID-19, the reasons behind vaccine hesitancy (VH) among people with RA remain largely unexplored. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional, single-arm study in China from July 18 to August 18, 2021. Using a self-administered questionnaire and a convenient sampling method, we investigated vaccine attitudes and VH among RA patients. The questionnaire developed by the investigators was validated by two public health experts and one senior rheumatologist. It covered sociodemographics, disease-related variables, vaccination attitudes, and willingness, etc. We employed Chi-squared and regression analyses to identify factors associated with VH toward COVID-19 vaccination. RESULTS: A total of 184 RA patients were enrolled in the survey, with 113 (61.41%) expressing unwillingness to be vaccinated. The Chi-squared test revealed significant differences in employment status and related systemic damage (p < 0.05). Among the unvaccinated RA patients, 71.68% believed COVID-19 vaccination might impact their disease. Binary and multicollinearity logistic regression analyses showed that the acute stage of RA (p < 0.001, OR = -3.165, 95% CI: 0.035 - 0.164) and fear of disease development caused by drug discontinuation during vaccination (p < 0.001, OR = -3.591, 95% CI: 0.005 - 0.157) were the restricting factors influencing the COVID-19 vaccine inoculation rate in RA patients. CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 vaccination rate among RA patients in China is low due to limited knowledge, misconceptions, and insufficient promotion. Boosting confidence and understanding of the vaccine's effectiveness and safety is crucial to improve vaccination success.
