Therefore, drivers with ADHD are shown to be more prone to road traffic injuries. This study was conducted in a community-based sample of drivers to determine how ADHD affects driving behavior components.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>At the cross-sectional phase of a national population-based cohort, a representative sample of 1769 drivers were enrolled. Manchester driving behavior questionnaire and Conners' adult ADHD rating scales were used to assess driving behavior and ADHD symptom scores, respectively. Data were analyzed using Stata version 17. Multiple linear regression was used to investigate the association of driving behavior with ADHD while adjusting for the potential confounding role of age, sex, marital status, educational level, driving history, etc.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>According to the results, the normalized driving behavior score of drivers with ADHD was 4.64 points higher than drivers without ADHD. Having an academic compared to school education, increased the driving behavior score by 1.73 points. The normalized driving behavior score of drivers under 18 years of age was 6.27 points higher than drivers aged 31−45 years. The score of the aggressive violation subscale of drivers with ADHD was 7.33 points higher than drivers without ADHD compared to an increment of a range of 4.50–4.82 points for other driving subscales. The score of the ordinary violation subscale of female drivers was 2.23 points lower than that of male drivers. No significant relationship was found between sex and other subscales of driving.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Drivers with ADHD who are in adolescence or early adulthood exhibit more dangerous and aggressive driving behaviors than those who are older. Implementing training interventions to increase awareness of drivers with ADHD, their families, and psychologists regarding the effects of ADHD on driving is an essential step in preventing motor vehicle crashes among drivers with ADHD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51555,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Traumatology","volume":"28 5","pages":"Pages 370-377"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143016103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thereby, the retention of the integrity and permeability of BSCB is well-recognized as one of the major therapies to promote functional recovery after SCI. Previous studies have demonstrated that activation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) provides anti-apoptosis and neuroprotection in SCI. Endogenous HIF-1α, rapidly degraded by prolylhydroxylase, is insufficient for promoting functional recovery. Dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG), a highly selective inhibitor of prolylhydroxylase, has been reported to have a positive effect on axon regeneration. However, the roles and underlying mechanisms of DMOG in BSCB restoration remain unclear. Herein, we aim to investigate pathological changes of BSCB restoration in rats with SCI treated by DOMG and evaluate the therapeutic effects of DMOG.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The work was performed from 2022 to 2023. In this study, Allen's impact model and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were employed to explore the mechanism of DMOG. In the phenotypic validation experiment, the rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group, SCI group, and SCI + DMOG group (10 rats for each). Histological analysis via Nissl staining, Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scale, and footprint analysis was used to evaluate the functional recovery after SCI. Western blotting, TUNEL assay, and immunofluorescence staining were employed to exhibit levels of tight junction and adhesion junction of BSCB, HIF-1α, cell apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Finally, we disclosed that DMOG maintained the integrity and permeability of BSCB by inhibiting ER stress, and inhibition of HIF-1α erased the protection from DMOG.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Our findings illustrate that the administration of DMOG alleviates the devastation of BSCB and HIF-1α-induced inhibition of ER stress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51555,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Traumatology","volume":"28 5","pages":"Pages 361-369"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144053306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
