    Abstract Background: Acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is a catastrophic event with substantial physical, emotional, and economic burdens to patients, families, and society. Spinal cord decompression is recommended for the treatment of acute SCI. However, the optimal surgical timing remains controversial. Therefore, we perform a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of early and late surgical intervention for acute SCI.
    Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols statement, which have been registered in advance in the International prospective register of systematic reviews (registration number: CRD42023397592). We will search the following databases for randomized controlled trials: the Cochrane Skin Group Trials Register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Medical Current Content, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The risk of bias of the included studies will be appraised using the Cochrane Collaboration tool for randomized controlled trials. Statistical analysis will be performed using IBM SPSS Statistics (Armonk, NY).
    Result: The results of this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
    Conclusion: This systematic review will provide evidence regarding the optimal timing for spinal cord decompression in patients with acute SCI.

    Abstract Background: Intervertebral disc degenerative diseases is one the main causes of lumbago, and its main pathological mechanism is intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). As shown in previous reports, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-exosomes can slow down or even reverse degenerated nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in IDD. Thus, we attempted to clarify the specific role of MSC-exosomes underlying IDD progression.
    Materials and methods: In the present study, the harvested particles were identified as MSC-exosomes. MSC-exosomes facilitated activation of autophagy pathway in AGE-treated NP cells. MSC-exosomes repressed inflammatory response in AGE-treated NP cells. Autophagy pathway activation enhanced inflammatory response in AGE-stimulated NP cells.
    Results: Mesenchymal stem cell-exosomes facilitated autophagy pathway activation and repressed inflammation in IDD rats. Autophagy inhibition exerted a protective role against inflammatory response in IDD rats.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, MSC-exosomes represses inflammation via activating autophagy pathway, which provides a potential novel insight for seeking therapeutic plans of IDD.

    Abstract Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious trauma to the central nervous system. M1/M2 microglial polarization as well as the following neuroinflammatory response are crucial factors in SCI. Autophagy plays an important role in SCI, but its neuroprotective or neurodegenerative role remains controversial.
    Materials and methods: Here, we majorly examined the properties of autophagy in SCI and uncovered the regulatory relationship between autophagy and microglial polarization in SCI.
    Results: In our study, the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score was declined in SCI. The cervical contusion SCI stimulated a sustaining neuropathic pain-linked phenotype characterized by thermal hyperalgesia as well as mechanical allodynia. It was revealed the structural damage to the spinal cord in SCI. Besides, the expression of microglia markers as well as inflammatory factor were promoted in SCI. Cervical contusion SCI induced autophagy inhibition and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation in mice. More importantly, enhanced autophagy induced by rapamycin suppressed the NF-κB pathway and alleviated cervical contusion SCI-induced neurological function damage in mice. Additionally, rapamycin promoted microglia M2 polarization and improved microglia-mediated inflammatory response.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, our study demonstrated that autophagy played a protective role in cervical SCI by promoting microglia polarization toward M2 through the NF-κB pathway. Our study may provide a novel sight for SCI treatment.

    Abstract Objective: To explore relevant influencing factors of the prognosis of patients with winter sports-induced traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema after emergency surgical treatment.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 73 cases of traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema in The First Hospital Affiliated to Hebei North University from January 2020 to October 2022. The enrolled patients were divided into the good prognosis (n=17) group and poor prognosis (n=56) group according to the recovery of neurological function after six months of follow-up. The risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema after emergency surgery were analyzed by binary Logistic regression.
    Results: Among the enrolled 73 patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema, 56 cases showed significant improvement in ASIA Grade-6 months after operation, with an improvement rate of 76.71%. Further Logistic regression analysis revealed that concomitant diabetes, preoperative MSCC>40.83% and recovery rate of AMS <40.13% 3d after operation were independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema.
    Conclusions: Emergency surgery can improve the neurological function of patients with cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema caused by winter sports. Concomitant diabetes, preoperative MSCC and recovery rate of AMS 3d after operation are the main factors affecting the prognosis of patients with emergency surgery.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of emergency plans and first aid procedures on injury control and precise treatment in patients with acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. Given the challenges in managing acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injuries and the need for efficient emergency plans and first aid procedures, the importance of this study is self-evident.
    Methods: A total of 103 patients with acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury were enrolled in our study from January 2017 to December 2022, and these patients were divided into two groups according to the time of admission: 51 cases from January 2017 to December 2019 were in the control group, and 52 cases from January 2020 to December 2022 were in the study group. The control group was given routine emergency care. The study group received emergency plans and first aid procedures that included rapid assessment, optimized patient handling and transport, and immediate medical intervention. We compared the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) scores, the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores, the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores, and the occurrence of adverse events 3 months after rescue between the two groups.
    Results: The study group demonstrated significantly shorter times for prehospital emergency rescue, waiting time upon admission, time from admission to treatment, mechanical ventilation duration, and ICU stay when compared to the control group (P < .05). The intubation rate and mortality rate in the research group were 28.85% and 11.54%, respectively, compared to 31.37% and 13.73% in the control group, with no statistically significant differences (P > .05). Three months after the rescue, the study group showed significantly lower scores in environmental factors, activities and participation, body structure, and body function compared to the control group (P < .05). Three months after the rescue, the research group had significantly higher SF-36 scores (P < .05), and their ADL scores were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < .05). The research group had an adverse event rate of 3.85%, significantly lower than the control group's rate of 19.61% (P < .05). The study group experienced improvements in emergency response and hospital procedure times, higher SF-36 and ADL scores, and lower rates of adverse events, suggesting significant potential for improving patient outcomes in cases of acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the emergency plans that have been implemented and may influence the approach to emergency medical care in similar situations in the future.
    Conclusions: Emergency plans and first aid procedures can effectively shorten the first aid time, promote rehabilitation, reduce adverse events, and improve the quality of daily life in patients with acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. Based on these findings, future practice or policy may need to be adjusted to further enhance patient care quality.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of oropharyngeal exercise on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compliance in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea over a period of 6 months.
    Materials and methods: This study was conducted as a prospective, observational, and interventional investigation. A total of 70 patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea were randomly assigned to either the oropharyngeal exercise group (n = 44) or the sham-therapy group (n = 26). The compliance of the enrolled patients with CPAP therapy was assessed at baseline, 3-month follow-up and 6-month follow-up. Objective sleep data, questionnaire and CPAP use time were collected over a half-year period (i.e., baseline, 6 months, and 12 months).
    Results: The study found that the average use time of CPAP within one month was significantly longer in the oropharyngeal exercises group compared to the sham-therapy group at the 3-month assessment (5.5 ± 1.2 vs 4.8 ± 1.3 h per night; p=0.030), and much significantly longer at 6-months assessment (6.0 ± 1.4 vs 4.9 ± 1.3 h per night; p=0.001). Furthermore, the average use time of CPAP increased over time, with the oropharyngeal exercises group exhibiting a more pronounced growth from baseline to the six-month follow-up (4.8 ± 1.0 h per night to 6.0 ± 1.3 h per night, p < 0.001) compared to the sham-therapy group (4.8 ± 1.3 h per night to 4.9 ± 1.3 h per night, p=0.952). Additionally, the oropharyngeal exercise group demonstrated an improvement in the Epworth sleepiness scale compared to the sham-therapy group at the 3-month follow-up (6.0 ± 2.0 vs 8.8 ± 3.2; p < 0.001), as well as decreased significantly at 6-month follow-up (p = 0.032).
    Conclusions: CPAP adherence can be improved with oropharyngeal exercises therapy among moderate to severe OSA patients. Notably, the average duration of CPAP usage and reduction in daytime sleepiness were maintained even after six months of oropharyngeal exercise therapy.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture on female urinary incontinence (UI).
    Methods: We searched for related RCTs of acupuncture on female UI from seven databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Medline, ClinicalKey, and Clinical trials). We applied CONSORT (2010 year) and STRICTA criteria to evaluate the relevant factors of included RCTs. Two trained researchers scored independently, and concordance was assessed by Cohen's к-statistic. The median and interquartile range summarized the CONSORT and STRICTA scores of the included studies. In addition, two independent sample t tests were used to assess the differences in the study quality between the 2000-2010 and the 2011-2022 years.
    Results: A total of 25 RCTs were finally included, and the scores were consistent between different assessors. The average CONSORT score was 10.50 (IQR 9.0-15.0) (total score was 25.0). Overall, the studies generally included scientific background (24/25, 96%), inclusion and exclusion criteria (24/25, 96%), outcome indicators (24/25, 96%), randomization methods (21/25, 84%), generalizability (19/25, 76%), and financial support (15/25, 60%). Most lacked sample size calculation (5/25, 20%), type of randomization (5/25, 20%), blinding (6/25, 24%), case screening period and follow-up (4/25, 16%), and study registration (6/25, 24%), etc. The average STRICTA score was 3.380 (IQR 3.02-3.95) (total score was 6.0). There had a lack of education on treatment methods for patients (3/25, 12%) and the qualification of acupuncturists (6/25, 24%).
    Conclusion: The overall quality of RCTs on acupuncture treatment of female UI was suboptimal. It is still necessary to improve the research methods, especially the application of random methods, blinding, the interpretation of treatment, and the identification qualification of acupuncturists.

    Abstract Purpose: PSD is a syndrome that occurs after a stroke, which manifests as a series of depressive symptoms and corresponding physiological symptoms. Relevant studies have shown that the drug therapy is often accompanied by drug side effects and patient resistance. Acupuncture has attracted attention as a treatment method without adverse reactions of patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible mechanism of action of acupuncture in PSD.
    Patients and methods: Download depression and stroke datasets from public databases. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the key gene targets related to stroke and depression. Functional enrichment analysis assesses important pathways. Further screen PSD-related biological pathways and genes. After the experimental model was established, the expression differences of key genes and related pathways were compared between the model group and the control group through acupuncture treatment and qPCR verification.
    Results: Depression and stroke-related genes were obtained by bioinformatics methods, and then important biological processes and biological pathways related to depression and stroke were analyzed by GO and KEGG. And further screen out the disease targets closely related to PSD. In the follow-up animal experiments, we confirmed that acupuncture can intervene on these key pathways and targets, and then play a role in the targeted therapy of diseases.
    Conclusion: The results of this study show that five genes ("NRBP1", "SIRT1", "BDNF", "MAPK3", "CREB1".) and key biological pathways such as NFkB, PI3K/AKT activation, and MAPK are the keys to the occurrence and development of PSD biomarkers, which can also be therapeutically intervened by acupuncture.

    Abstract Pulmonary drug delivery has the advantages of being rapid, efficient, and well-targeted, with few systemic side effects. In addition, it is non-invasive and has good patient compliance, making it a highly promising drug delivery mode. However, there have been limited studies on drug delivery via pulmonary inhalation compared with oral and intravenous modes. This paper summarizes the basic research and clinical translation of pulmonary inhalation drug delivery for the treatment of diseases and provides insights into the latest advances in pulmonary drug delivery. The paper discusses the processing methods for pulmonary drug delivery, drug carriers (with a focus on various types of nanoparticles), delivery devices, and applications in pulmonary diseases and treatment of systemic diseases (e.g., COVID-19, inhaled vaccines, diagnosis of the diseases, and diabetes mellitus) with an updated summary of recent research advances. Furthermore, this paper describes the applications and recent progress in pulmonary drug delivery for lung diseases and expands the use of pulmonary drugs for other systemic diseases.

    Abstract Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) caused by esophageal foreign body (EFB) ingestion is a life-threatening condition with a very low survival rate. However, the optimal management strategy remains undetermined. Here, we describe our successful management of a patient with AEF and mediastinitis. A 36-year-old man developed persistent chest and back pain and vomited fresh blood three days after removal of a pork bone in the esophagus under endoscopy in a local hospital. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed bilateral pulmonary infections, mediastinitis, and fistula of the aortic arch. After a multidiscipline discussion, a comprehensive staged strategy was made including salvaged thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) to control fatal bleeding, adequate mediastinal debridement, drainage with cervical incision, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, as well as jejunostomy to prevent nasal or gastrostomy reflux from aggravating the mediastinal infection. Furthermore, systematic personalized nutrition support and antibiotics were provided. The patient recovered well and has survived for 50 months until now. Careful assessment should be made with CT to ascertain the risk of AEF before and after the removal of EFB. A salvaged staged strategy of TEVAR with adequate mediastinal debridement and drainage in a less invasive approach may be a safer alternative for AEF patients with infections caused by EFB.
