Objective: To explore the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) practice on sleep quality and perceived stress in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Method: A total of 104 patients with SCI (diagnosed via imaging and clinical symptoms) admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were selected as the study participants. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the MBSR (observation) group and the control group.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the links between lipid profiles and various clinical characteristics, disease activity, and inflammatory markers in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), while also looking into the effects of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on lipid levels.
- - Conducted at Tongji Hospital, the research included 367 pSS patients, analyzing demographics, clinical data, and lipid profiles, revealing that nearly half of the participants had dyslipidemia, which was influenced by factors like gender and smoking rather than body mass index (BMI).
- - Findings indicated that dyslipidemia is associated with increased autoimmunity and inflammation, with specific cardiovascular risks connected to hyperlipidemia in pSS patients;
Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a systemic, highly diverse, and chronic autoimmune disease with a significant global prevalence. It is a complex condition that requires careful management and monitoring. Recent research indicates that epigenetic mechanisms contribute to the pathophysiology of SjS by modulating gene expression and genome stability.

Objectives: A retrospective study on 349 Chinese patients with pSS was conducted to identify potential risk factors for cardiovascular events and develop a cardiovascular risk nomogram.
Design: This is a retrospective observational study.
Background: To investigate the association between interleukin-6 (IL-6) (rs1800795, rs1800796, rs1800797, rs13306435, rs2069849) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) (rs1800871, rs1800896) gene polymorphisms, expression levels, and lumbar disc disease (LDD).
Methods: We conducted a literature research on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) until February 28, 2019. We included all case-control studies about the association between IL-6 and IL-10 gene polymorphisms and LDD.
Background: An increasing number of studies have investigated associations between collagen IX alpha 2 chain (COL9A2) and collagen IX alpha 3 chain (COL9A3) gene polymorphisms and the risk of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD). However, these studies have yielded contradictory results. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to investigate the association between the collagen IX gene polymorphisms (rs12077871, rs12722877, rs7533552 in COL9A2; rs61734651 in COL9A3) and LDD.

Objective: To assess the effects of seawater immersion of open abdominal wound and drowning on plasma electrolyte levels in dogs.
Methods: Twenty-one dogs with open abdominal wounds were randomly divided into 3 groups, namely the control group (n=7), seawater immersion group (n=7) and seawater immersion and drowning group (n=7). The dogs in the control group were subjected to simple open abdominal wound, and those in the latter two groups were immersed into seawater after the abdominal injury.
