OBJECTIVE:Fractures due to falls are a significant global public health concern, yet comprehensive analyses of their burden remain limited. This study aimed to assess the global, regional and national incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of fractures attributable to falls from 1990 to 2021. METHODS:Data on fall-related fractures were extracted from the global burden of disease study for the years 1990-2021. Analyses included trends in incidence, YLDs, age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR) and age-standardised YLDs rates (ASYR) for both sexes globally and across 204 countries. Fracture-specific data were analysed by anatomical site, age group and regions. RESULTS:From 1990 to 2021, the global incidence and YLDs of fall-related fractures rose significantly. While ASIR and ASYR declined overall, they began to rise again over the past 4 years. In 2021, there were approximately 100.5 million new fracture cases, a 49.5% increase since 1990, with a 35.6% increase in females and a 64.6% increase in males. ASIR decreased by 7% overall, with declines of 9.8% in females and 2.8% in males. The most common fracture sites were the hand, femur and vertebral column. Regionally, the highest ASIR was observed in males in Saudi Arabia and in females in Andorra. CONCLUSION:The global burden of fractures attributable to falls has increased markedly, particularly among females. Although ASIR and ASYR have declined overall, recent years have seen a resurgence. Targeted prevention strategies in high-risk populations and regions are crucial to mitigate the future burden of fall-related fractures.
BACKGROUND:Malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage (MNBAC) is one of the causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. To date, there is a lack of detailed studies on the disease burden of MNBAC. METHODS:Data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of MNBAC from 1990 to 2021 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease study. We estimated the trends in the burden of MNBAC by calculating the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in age-standardized rates by region, country, and social development index. RESULTS:Globally, the cases of incidence and deaths of MNBAC showed a significant upward trend. In 2021, the global incidence cases of MNBAC were 91,375.1 (73,780.4-102,469.7), and the number of deaths was 66,114.3 (53,305.4-74,466.9). The age-standardized incidence, mortality, and DALYs rates were all on the rise, with EAPCs of 0.59 (0.51 to 0.68), 0.11 (0.02 to 0.21), and 0.08 (0 to 0.17), respectively. In 2021, China had the highest number of incidence cases and deaths. Two peaks in incidence cases and deaths were observed in the 15-19 and 65-69 age groups, with incidence rates and death rates generally increasing with age, and higher in males than females. The region with the highest incidence cases, deaths, and age-standardized incidence rate was East Asia, while Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest age-standardized mortality, and DALYs rates. CONCLUSION:From 1990 to 2021, the global burden of MNBAC has continued to increase, particularly in East Asia, which faces the highest number of incidence cases and deaths, while Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa faces the highest ASMR and ASDR. To mitigate this burden, different regions should develop cancer control actions based on their respective epidemiological characteristics, with a focus on the elderly and adolescents, and control of risk factors.
Objectives Occupational injuries pose a significant challenge to global health and development. This study aimed to quantify the international and regional burdens of occupational injuries from 1990 to 2019, stratified by specific causes.Methods We analysed global trends in deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), age-standardised mortality rates (ASMR) and age-standardised DALY rates (ASDR) related to occupational injuries. Specific injuries, including animal contact, drowning, mechanical forces, falls, fire, heat, hot substances, foreign bodies, poisoning and road injuries, were evaluated. Age-stratified and regional analyses were also performed.Results Globally, the number of deaths, DALYs, ASMR and ASDR related to occupational injuries declined from 1990 to 2019. The middle Socio-demographic Index (SDI) region exhibited the highest burden, whereas the high SDI region showed the least burden. China and India had the highest occupational injury-related death rates in 2019. Males, particularly those aged 25-44 years, were found to be more vulnerable. Road injuries were the leading cause of death in all age groups. Compared with 1990, mortality numbers and rates decreased significantly by 2019, with the highest burdens experienced in East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia.Conclusion The global decline in occupational injuries is promising; however, certain regions and demographics remain disproportionately affected. Targeted interventions in high-burden areas are crucial to further reduce the impact of occupational injuries.
Accurately measuring the spatial extension distance of nerve bundles in completing a split/merge is impossible because no clear mathematical definition exists for the starting and ending positions in nerve-bundle splitting/merging. We manually count the number of nerve-bundle splits/merges in long nerve segments, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to counting errors. Currently, the mathematics are unclear for the nerve-bundle diameter before and after splitting/merging. This paper explores these problems and proposes nerve-bundle splitting/merging rules. Based on the method of defining the beginning and ending positions of nerve-bundle splitting/merging, we explored the mathematical law of equivalent diameter of nerve bundles before and after splitting/merging. The experimental results revealed that the moving average of circularity of nerve bundle accurately defines the beginning and ending positions of nerve-bundle splitting/merging. The diameter of the nerve bundles before and after split/merge approximately conforms to the principles of the Da Vinci formula. The proposed automatic counting algorithm based on centroid offset matching obtains the number of split/merged nerve bundles in the sequence scan images with 100 % accuracy. The mathematical definition of the starting and ending positions of nerve-bundle splitting/merging proposed in this paper is accurate and strict and is the foundation of subsequent research. The proposed automatic counting algorithm based on centroid offset matching (ACA-COM) can accurately and efficiently count the number of times the nerve bundles split and merge in sequential images. The mathematical law satisfied by the diameter of the nerve bundles before and after splitting/merging reflects that the nerve bundles tend to have better capability to resist breaking.
Background Sternum and rib fractures represent a significant global health concern, contributing to morbidity and disability on a worldwide scale. However, there is a notable lack of recent epidemiological data detailing the global and regional burden of these fractures. Methods We undertook a systematic analysis of the prevalence of sternum and rib fractures at the global, regional, and national levels in 2019, while also examining time trends spanning from 1990 to 2019. To achieve this, we extracted data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, enabling us to determine incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), and their corresponding age-standardized rates. Results In 2019, there were 4.1 million incident cases and 2 million prevalent cases of sternum and rib fractures worldwide. These figures represent increases of 43.7 % and 64.1 %, respectively, since 1990. YLDs also exhibited a notable increase, rising by 62.4 % to reach 190,834 cases. However, since 1990, their equivalent age-standardized rates, which ranged from 5.5 % to 7.1 %, have decreased. Notably, China had the greatest incidence (1.2 million cases), prevalence (573,000 cases), and number of YLDs (55,400 cases), all in 2019. The greatest age-standardized incidence rate (143/100,000) and age-standardized prevalence rate (65/100,000) were both recorded in Greenland in the same year. It's critical to emphasize that men experience these fractures at considerably higher rates than women. Around 70 % of incident instances included unintentional injuries worldwide and across all regions. High-socioeconomic regions had the highest rates of incidence, prevalence, and YLDs, albeit these rates have declined by 6.4 % to 7.1 % since 1990, whereas low-middle and low-income areas have had rises. Conclusions This study, which spans the years 1990 to 2019, provides a thorough and current assessment of the global burden attributed to sternum and rib fractures. In terms of nations, regions, sociodemographic index (SDI) levels, age groups, genders, and reasons, it reveals significant variances and trends. The knowledge obtained from this study can be extremely useful in formulating health policy, allocating resources, and developing methods to prevent these injuries.
BackgroundThe body roundness index (BRI) is a quantitative measure used to evaluate the presence of obesity and the distribution of body fat. However, the relationship between the BRI and osteoarthritis (OA) is still unclear. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the BRI and the occurrence of OA.MethodsThis study was a cross-sectional analysis used to analyze data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018. A variety of variables were included in this investigation, which employed logistic regression analysis to assess the correlation between the BRI and OA. The robustness of the results and the impact of stratification variables were evaluated using subgroup and sensitivity analyses. To evaluate the ability of the BRI to predict OA, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed.ResultsThe analysis included 19,717 participants. Participants with OA had a significantly greater BRI than those without OA. Logistic regression analysis revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between the BRI and OA (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.15–1.21, p-value <0.001). Despite the complete adjustment for covariates, this association remained stable (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.04–1.17, p-value = 0.002). The results were corroborated by subgroup and sensitivity analyses, which demonstrated their robustness. Moreover, the BRI exhibited greater predictive accuracy for OA than did BMI.ConclusionThe BRI and OA are significantly associated in adults in the United States. The risk of developing OA may be increased by elevated levels of the BRI. Monitoring levels of the BRI is essential to prevent or reduce the prevalence and advancement of OA.
Objective:To evaluate the short term efficacy of 160 biological revision handle in femoral revision.Methods:The patients who underwent the femoral revision of Chunli 160? handle in Guangdong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2017 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical and imaging manifestations before and at the last follow-up were evaluated and compared with the patients who underwent the revision of Johnson’s Solution? handle at the same time. The efficacy score of artificial hip joint (Harris score) and the hip score of Oxford University were evaluated before and at the last follow-up (OHS score). The paired sample t test was used, and independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison.Results:A total of 35 patients who met the criteria were enrolled with completed follow-up, including 18 patients in the Chunli 160? handle group (the observation group) and 17 patients in the Solution? handle group (the control group). The Harris score of the observation group increased from preoperative (34±8) to postoperative (72±7) (t =-13.91, P<0.001), the control group increased from preoperative (30±6) to postoperative (68±11) (t =-10.98, P<0.001). The OHS score of the observation group decreased from preoperative (30±8) to postoperative (16±9) (t =9.40, P <0.001). The OHS score of the control group decreased from preoperative (34±2) to postoperative (16±2) (t =16.05, P<0.001) There was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative Harris score and OHS score between the two groups (t =-1.41, 0.19, both P>0.05). Imaging showed that the prosthesis was firmly fixed, and there was no significant difference in prosthesis sinking distance and prosthesis loosening rating between the two groups (Z =-0.857, -0.474, both P>0.05) .Conclusions:The 160? biological revision handle performs well in the short-term follow-up of hip revision patients. The short-term curative effect is equivalent to that of solution handle, and the long-term curative effect needs to be further observed.

Abstract Background Enhanced recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been suggested to enhance postoperative recovery. The use of multimodal cocktail periarticular injection (MCPI) to control the pain of TKA has gained wide acceptance. MCPI containing corticosteroids is believed to be an effective solution because of its local anti-inflammatory effects and ability to reduce the local stress response postoperatively. However, there is conflicting evidence about its benefits. This trial aims to compare MCPI containing a high dose of corticosteroid, MCPI containing anormal dose of corticosteroid, and MCPI without a corticosteroid during TKA to assess the effectiveness of MCPI containing corticosteroid in postoperative pain relief, functional improvement, rescue analgesia and side effects. This will provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of high-dose corticosteroids on prolonged pain control and better recovery after total knee arthroplasty. Methods/design This trial is a double-blinded randomized, placebo-controlled study. A total of 234 patients will be randomized into 3 groups to receive a high dose of betamethasone MCPI (group H), a normal dose of betamethasone MCPI (group N), and a nonbetamethasone MCPI (group C). the following indexes will be recorded and analyzed: knee pain at rest and bending at 90° at 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 5 days, 14 days, and 30 days after surgery; 1-minute walking ability and circumference around patella at 2, 4, 7, 14, and 30 days after surgery; HSS score at 14 and 30 days after surgery; C-reactive protein and blood sedimentation as well as blood sugar at 2, 4, 7, 14, 30 days after surgery; additional morphine analgesics consumption; and side effects. Discussion The results from this study will provide clinical evidence on the effectiveness of MCPI-containing corticosteroids in postoperative pain relief, functional improvement, rescue analgesia, and side effects as well as evidence on the efficacy of high-dose corticosteroids for leading to prolonged pain control and better recovery after TKA.

Enhanced recovery following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been advocated to enhance postoperative recovery. Multimodal cocktail periarticular injection (MCPI) use for pain control in TKA has gained wide acceptance. MCPI-containing corticosteroids are believed to be an effective solution owing to their local anti-inflammatory effects and ability to reduce the local stress response postoperatively. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding its benefits. This trial aims to compare MCPI with a high dose of corticosteroid, normal dose of corticosteroid, and non-corticosteroid during TKA, to assess the effectiveness of MCPI containing corticosteroids in postoperative pain relief, functional improvement, rescue analgesia, and side effects and provide evidence that high-dose corticosteroids result in prolonged pain control and better recovery following TKA. This is a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study. A total of 234 patients scheduled for TKA will be recruited. During surgery, before wound closure, 80 ml of the cocktail analgesic will be injected into the muscle and joint capsule for local infiltration analgesia; the participants will be randomly assigned to three groups to receive a high dose of betamethasone MCPI (group H), normal dose of betamethasone MCPI (group N), and non-betamethasone MCPI (group C). The following indices will be recorded and analyzed: the strongest knee pain experienced during 90° flexion at 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 5 days, 14 days, and 30 days after surgery; 1 min walking ability; and circumference around the patella at 2, 5, 14, and 30 days after surgery; Knee Society knee score at 14 days and 30 days after surgery; C-reactive protein and blood sedimentation; blood sugar 2, 5, 14, and 30 days following surgery; rescue analgesic consumption; and adverse events. If any participant withdraws from the trial, an intention-to-treat analysis will be performed. The results of this study will provide clinical evidence on the effectiveness of MCPI-containing corticosteroids in postoperative pain relief, functional improvement, rescue analgesia, and adverse events, as well as provide evidence on the efficacy of high-dose corticosteroids in prolonged pain control and better recovery following TKA.

BACKGROUND:Cell therapy for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) faces serious barriers since tissue-specific adult cells such as nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) have limited proliferative ability and poor regenerative potential; in addition, it is difficult for exogenous adult stem cells to survive the harsh environment of the degenerated intervertebral disc. Endogenous repair by nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells (NPMSCs) has recently shown promising regenerative potential for the treatment of IDD. Notochordal cells (NCs) and NC-conditioned medium (NCCM) have been proven to possess regenerative ability for the treatment of IDD, but this approach is limited by the isolation and passaging of NCs. Our previous study demonstrated that modified notochordal cell-rich nucleus pulposus (NC-rich NP) has potential for the repair of IDD. However, whether this can protect NPMSCs during IDD has not been evaluated.METHODS:In the current study, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α was used to mimic the inflammatory environment of IDD. Human NPMSCs were cocultured with NC-rich NP explants from healthy rabbit lumbar spine with or without TNF-α. Cell proliferation and senescence were analyzed to investigate the effect of NC-rich NP explants on TNF-α-treated NPMSCs. The expression of mRNA encoding proteins related to matrix macromolecules (such as aggrecan, Sox-9, collagen Iα, and collagen IIα), markers related to the nucleus pulposus cell phenotype (including CA12, FOXF1, PAX1, and HIF-1α), and senescence markers (such as p16, p21, and p53), senescence-associated proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6), and extracellular proteases (MMP-13, ADAMTS-5) was assessed. The protein expression of CA12 and collagen II was also evaluated.RESULTS:After a 7-day treatment, the NC-rich NP explant was found to enhance cell proliferation, decrease cellular senescence, promote glycosaminoglycan (GAG), collagen II, and CA12 production, upregulate the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM)-related genes (collagen I, collagen II, SOX9, and ACAN), and enhance the expression of nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) markers (HIF-1α, FOXF1, PAX1, and CA12).CONCLUSION:Modified NC-rich NP explants can attenuate TNF-α-induced degeneration and senescence of NPMSCs in vitro. Our findings provide new insights into the therapeutic potential of NC-rich NP for the treatment of IDD.
