RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the mediating effect of lifestyles on the association between family history and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods This study was based on the "Early Screening and Comprehensive Intervention of High-risk Populations of Cardiovascular Disease Project". The data were collected from 6 project sites in Hubei Province. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the impact of family history and lifestyle on CVD, and the relationship between family history and lifestyle. Mediation analysis was used to evaluate the mediating effect of lifestyle on the association between family history and CVD. Results A total of 5 871 subjects were included in the study from 2015 to 2016, of whom 500 (8.52%) developed CVD and 484 had family history of CVD. The risk of developing CVD was significantly increased in participants with family history of disease (OR = 1.458, P = 0.014) and in those with high level of physical activity (OR = 1.081, P = 0.026). The increase of leisure physical activity time showed a protective effect on developing CVD (OR = 0.977, P < 0.001). Participants with family history significantly increased leisure physical activity (OR = 2.085, P < 0.001), and were less likely to choose occupations with high levels of physical activity (OR = 0.524, P < 0.001). The results of mediation analysis showed that leisure physical activity and occupational physical activity mediated the relationship between family history and CVD, and the β value of the mediating effects were -0.004 (P = 0.010) and 0.002 (P = 0.045), respectively. The β value of the direct effect of family history on CVD was 0.033 (P < 0.05). Conclusion Leisure physical activity and occupational physical activity might mediate the relationship between family history and CVD. People with family history would reduce the risk of developing CVD by increasing leisure physical activity time and choosing occupations with low levels of physical activity.

RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the rates of low disease activity and clinical remission in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)in a real-world setting,and to analyze the related factors of low disease activity and clinical remission.Methods:One thousand patients with SLE were enrolled from 11 teaching hospitals.Demographic,clinical and laboratory data,as well as treatment regimes were collec-ted by self-completed questionnaire.The rates of low disease activity and remission were calculated based on the lupus low disease activity state(LLDAS)and definitions of remission in SLE(DORIS).Charac-teristics of patients with LLDAS and DORIS were analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the related factors of LLDAS and DORIS remission.Results:20.7％of patients met the criteria of LLDAS,while 10.4％of patients achieved remission defined by DORIS.Patients who met LLDAS or DORIS remission had significantly higher proportion of patients with high income and longer disease duration,compared with non-remission group.Moreover,the rates of anemia,creatinine eleva-tion,increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and hypoalbuminemia was significantly lower in the LLDAS or DORIS group than in the non-remission group.Patients who received hydroxychloroquine for more than 12 months or immunosuppressant therapy for no less than 6 months earned higher rates of LLDAS and DORIS remission.The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that increased ESR,positive anti-dsDNA antibodies,low level of complement(C3 and C4),proteinuria,low household in-come were negatively related with LLDAS and DORIS remission.However,hydroxychloroquine usage for longer than 12 months were positively related with LLDAS and DORIS remission.Conclusion:LLDAS and DORIS remission of SLE patients remain to be improved.Treatment-to-target strategy and standar-dized application of hydroxychloroquine and immunosuppressants in SLE are recommended.

RESUMO
Important forensic diagnostic indicators of sudden death in coronary atherosclerotic heart dis-ease,such as acute or chronic myocardial ischemic changes,sometimes make it difficult to locate the ischemic site due to the short death process,the lack of tissue reaction time.In some cases,the de-ceased died of sudden death on the first-episode,resulting in difficulty for medical examiners to make an accurate diagnosis.However,clinical studies on coronary instability plaque revealed the key role of coronary spasm and thrombosis caused by their lesions in sudden coronary death process.This paper mainly summarizes the pathological characteristics of unstable coronary plaque based on clinical medi-cal research,including plaque rupture,plaque erosion and calcified nodules,as well as the influencing factors leading to plaque instability,and briefly describes the research progress and technique of the atherosclerotic plaques,in order to improve the study on the mechanism of sudden coronary death and improve the accuracy of the forensic diagnosis of sudden coronary death by diagnosing different patho-logic states of coronary atherosclerotic plaques.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the predictive value of interleukin-33(IL-33),eosinophil chemotactic factor(Eotaxin),soluble scavenger receptor CD163(sCD163)for recurrent wheezing in children with bronchi-olitis.Methods A total of 120 children with bronchiolitis who were treated in Jiamusi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August 2019 to October 2021 were enrolled in the study.The clinical data of the chil-dren were collected,including demographic factors,birth factors,atopic factors,length of hospital stay,time from symptom onset to visit,and respiratory distress assessment tool(RDAI)score.Respiratory syncytial vi-rus(RSV)and rhinovirus(RV)were detected.Blood samples were collected for detection.Blood test indica-tors included total immunoglobulin E(IgE),white blood cell count(WBC),IL-33,Eotaxin and sCD163.The discharged children were followed up for 1 year,and they were divided into non-recurrent group and recurrent group according to the number of wheezing episodes.The two groups were compared in terms of clinical data and blood test indicators.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for recurrent wheezing in children with bronchiolitis.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between blood test indexes and RDAI score.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the value of IL-33,Eotaxin,and sCD163 levels alone and in combination in predicting recurrent wheezing in children with bronchiolitis.Results Compared with the non-recurrent group,the recurrent group had significantly higher RDAI score,higher proportion of patients with a history of eczema,a personal history of allergy,and a signifi-cantly higher RSV infection rate(P＜0.05).The recurrent group had significantly higher levels of IL-33,Eotaxin,and sCD163 than the non-recurrent group(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of IL-33,Eotaxin,and sCD163 in children with bronchiolitis were positively correlated with RDAI score(r=0.516,0.611,0.522,P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that RDAI score,history of eczema,personal history of allergy,RSV infection,increased IL-33 levels,increased Eotaxin levels,and increased sCD163 levels were risk factors for recurrent wheezing in children with bronchiolitis(OR＞1,P＜0.05).The ROC curve found that The area under the curve(AUC)of IL-33,Eotaxin,and sCD163 levels alone and in combination for predicting recurrent wheezing in children with bronchiolitis was 0.829(95％CI:0.757-0.901),0.858(95％CI:0.794-0.922),and 0.857(95％CI:0.789-0.925)and 0.954(95％CI:0.921-0.987).Conclusion Increased levels of IL-33,Eotaxin and sCD163 in children with bronchiolitis can increase the risk of recurrent wheezing,and the combined detection of the three can effectively predict the occurrence of recurrent wheezing.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the influencing factors of postoperative gastroparesis syndrome(PSG)after laparoscopic right hemicolon cancer resection.Methods A total of 1070 patients with laparoscopic right hemicolon cancer resection(complete right hemicolon mesoresection)were selected from Wuhan General Hospital of Yangtze River Shipping and Wuhan Union Hospital Cancer Department from December 2012 to June 2022.According to whether the patients got postoperative gastroparesis,were divided into the postoperative gastroparesis syndrome(PSG)group or the normal control group.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of PGS after right hemicolon resection.Results There were 29 patients in the gastroparesis group and 1041 patients in the normal control group.Univariate analysis showed that age,perioperative blood glucose level,surgical resection range,and surgical approach were related to the occurrence of PGS(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that age,high perioperative blood glucose level,caudal approach plus combined approach,and large surgical resection range were independent influencing factors of PGS(P＜0.05).Conclusions Age,high perioperative blood glucose level,caudal approach plus combined approach,and large surgical resection range are influencing factors of PGS.
RESUMO
Objective·To explore the correlation between body compositions and cardiovascular fitness(CRF)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods·The CHD patients(CHD group)who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention treatment at Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2022 to June 2023 as well as healthy people(control group)were selected.All the participants completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing(CPET)to determine CRF and bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)to determine body compositions on the same day.Results·A total of 191 patients with coronary heart disease and 188 healthy individuals were included.There was no statistically significant difference in baseline characteristics between the two groups.Compared with the control group,the CRF indicators of the CHD group were significantly reduced(all P<0.05).In terms of body composition indicators,the trunk muscle mass(TMM)of the CHD group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01),and the trunk fat mass(TFM)was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that TMM(R=0.538),lower limbs muscle mass(LMM)(R=0.754),and lower limbs fat mass(LFM)(R=0.593)were positively correlated with peak oxygen uptake per kilogram of bodyweight(VO2peak/kg)in the CHD group(all P<0.01),while TFM(R=-0.563)was negatively correlated with VO2peak/kg(P<0.01).There was no statistically significant correlation between other body composition indicators and VO2peak/kg.According to VO2peak/kg,the CHD patients were divided into low CRF group,medium CRF group,and high CRF group.The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in LMM,TMM,LFM,and TFM among the three groups of patients(all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that age,gender,TMM,TFM,LMM,and LFM were related factors of VO2peak/kg in the patients with CHD.The VO2peak/kg of CHD patients increased with the increase of TMM,LMM,and LFM and the decrease of age and TFM;the female patients had lower VO2peak/kg compared to the males.Conclusion·The CRF of CHD patients is significantly lower than that of the healthy population,with higher TFM and lower TMM;in the CHD patients,CRF is negatively correlated with TFM and positively correlated with TMM,LMM,and LFM.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of protective ventilation strategies based on individualized positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP)regulated by driving pressure(Pd)in infants under OLV.Methods Sixty infants undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery were randomly divided into the control group and driving pressure group,with 30 cases in each group.The two groups were compared in terms of MAP,HR,tidal volume(Vt),PEEP,Pd,airway peak pressure(Ppeak),and static lung compliance(Cs),and arterial blood gas during OLV before the artificial pneumothorax(T0),10 min(T1),30 min(T2),and 60 min(T3)after the artificial pneumothorax,and right at the end of the artificial pneumothorax(T4).Results There were no significant differences in MAP,HR,and Vt between the two groups at all the time points(P＞0.05).Both groups showed the increase in Pd and Ppeak and decresase in Cs at T1,T2,and T3(all P＜0.05).PaO2 and OI in both group were decreased and PaCO2 was increased at T2(all P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the driving pressure group presented lower Pd and Ppeak,higher PEEP and Cs at T1,T2,and T3(P＜0.05),and higher PaO2 and OI(P＜0.05)and no significant differences in PaCO2 and FiO2 at T2(P＜0.05).The rate of rescue ventilation during OLV was lower in the driving pressure group(2 cases)than in the control group(9 cases)(6.9%versus 32.4%,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the inci-dence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The individualized positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP)regulated by Pd can optimize the PEEP settings upon infant individuals under OLV and improve the compliance and oxygenation of ventilated lung.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:At present,the traditional powder sintering method is easy to introduce impurities in the process of preparing porous titanium,and the manufacturing of porous titanium still faces two major problems:impurity pollution and difficult control of the material forming process. OBJECTIVE:To prepare pure porous titanium with certain porosity,and analyze the microstructure evolution and properties of the porous titanium. METHODS:Porous titanium was prepared at a low energy density by selective laser melting technology.The parameter range of porous titanium with large porosity was obtained by measuring the porosity of the formed specimen,and the evolution of the microstructure and mechanical properties of the specimen in the range were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase in energy density,the porosity of the porous titanium specimen decreased gradually.When the energy density was between 10.61 and 27.78 J/mm3,porous titanium with a porosity of 11.23%-33.67%could be formed.When the energy density was between 27.78-37.88 J/mm3,the forming parts were relatively dense.(2)The phase composition of porous titanium formed was mainly α titanium.With the increase in energy density,the porosity gradually decreased,and the pore morphology changed from irregularly connected pores to closed nearly spherical pores.The powder particles changed from a slightly sintered neck to a continuous fuse.The CT scan results revealed that there were a large number of connected pores in the forming specimen with a large specific surface area and the pore radius was roughly distributed between 2-6 μm at the energy density of 10.61 J/mm3.Simultaneously,porous titanium with compressive strength of 188-1 000 MPa could be obtained at the energy density of 10.61-27.78 J/mm3,which could meet the requirements of biomedical applications.(3)These results have confirmed that the selective laser melting technology can overcome the problems of impurity pollution and long manufacturing cycle caused by the traditional preparation process,and provide an effective solution for the preparation of porous titanium with excellent mechanical properties.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic disease,and the main clinical manifestation of patients with hyperuricemia is the formation of uric acid crystals leading to gout.Previous studies have only reported that uric acid crystals lead to intervertebral disc degeneration,but there are fewer studies on the correlation between hyperuricemia and intervertebral disc degeneration. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively analyze the characteristics of intervertebral disc degeneration in patients with hyperuricemia and the correlation between serum uric acid level and intervertebral disc degeneration. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed in all patients diagnosed with intervertebral disc degeneration admitted at the Department of Orthopedics,the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022.There were 97 hyperuricemia patients in the hyperuricemia group and 194 non-hyperuricemia patients in the control group according to sex and age in a ratio of 1:2.Blood uric acid test results were collected,and Pfirrmann scoring was performed for the degree of disc degeneration in patients based on the whole spinal MRI images.The difference in the degree of disc degeneration between the two groups was compared,and the correlation between the serum uric acid level and the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The Pfirrmann score in the hyperuricemia group was higher than that in the control group,and the total number of disc degeneration in the hyperuricemia group was also significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the degree of disc degeneration in male patients was positively correlated with serum uric acid level at many spinal segments in the hyperuricemia group(C3/4:r=0.317,C4/5:r=0.333,C5/6:r=0.309,L2/3:r=0.443,P<0.05);the degree of disc degeneration in female patients was also positively correlated with serum uric acid level(C3/4:r=0.354,C4/5:r=0.388,C6/7:r=0.312,T7/8:r=0.282,T9/10:r=0.305,T11/12:r=0.277,L4/5:r=0.319,L5-S1:r=0.367,P<0.05).In the control group,there was no significant correlation between the degree of disc degeneration and serum uric acid level in male and female patients(P>0.05).To conclude,in patients with hyperuricemia,the higher serum uric acid level indicates the more serious intervertebral disc degeneration.Therefore,hyperuricemia is one of the risk factors for intervertebral disc degeneration.
RESUMO
Objective To systematically evaluate the control effects of different concentrations of atropine on myopia in Chinese children.Methods PubMed,Embase,The Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CBM,WanFang Data,VIP and CNKI databases were retrieved to collect the studies on children's myopia control by atropine from the establishment of the database to April 2023.After the literature screening,data extraction and bias risk valuation were carried out by 2 research-ers,a Meta-analysis was performed via RevMan 5.4 software.Results A total of 32 studies were included,comparing the effects of 7 different concentrations of atropine and placebo.The Meta-analysis showed that compared with placebo,0.1 g·L-1 atropine had a significant impact on the change of spherical equivalent[MD=0.39,95％CI(0.26,0.52),P＜0.05],and significantly suppressed the axial length increment[MD=-0.18,95％CI(-0.24,-0.12),P＜0.05].Among other concentrations,0.2g·L-1,0.5g·L-1 and 10 g·L-1 atropine had sound effects on myopia control.Conclusion Exist-ing evidence shows that compared to placebo,atropine at concentrations of0.1 g·L-1,0.2 g·L-1,0.5 g·L-1and 10 g·L-1 has better effects on controlling the spherical equivalent and axial length of children with myopia.Among them,at-ropine at the concentration of 0.1 g·L1 may have the best effect.
RESUMO
AIM:To study whether glycyrrhizic acid(GL)can resist the ototoxicity of cisplatin(CDDP)in mice and its molecular mechanism.METHODS:Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into 5 groups:control group,DMSO(5%)group,CDDP(4 mg/kg)group,CDDP+low-dose(50 mg/kg)GL group,and CDDP+high-dose(100 mg/kg)GL group(n=14).Auditory brainstem response(ABR)was used to detect hearing changes of mice.HE staining was used to observe the morphological change of cochlear stria vascular in mice.Evans blue(EB)staining was used to observe the per-meability change of the blood-labyrinth barrier(BLB).Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression and distribution of adhesion protein VE-cadherin and tight junction protein ZO-1 on the cochlear stria.ELISA assay and immunofluorescence technology were employed to detect the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleu-kin-1β(1L-1β).RESULTS:In CDDP group,ABR waveforms of all frequencies were disturbed,the hearing threshold was significantly increased,and I wave latency was prolonged(P＜0.05).In CDDP+GL group,ABR waveforms of various frequencies were well differentiated,the hearing threshold was significantly decreased,and the latency of I-wave was shortened(P＜0.01).The disordered morphology and more vacuoles in the stria vascularis were observed by HE staining in CDDP group.The GL alleviated CDDP-induced damage in the stria vascularis.In EB staining,CDDP caused an increase in per-meability of BLB(P＜0.01),which was improved by GL treatment(P＜0.01).Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of VE-cadherin and ZO-1 in CDDP group were decreased(P＜0.01),which was restored in CDDP+GL group(P＜0.01).The ELISA and immunofluorescence results showed that the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α was in-creased after CDDP treatment(P＜0.01),which was restored in CDDP+GL group(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:The GL alleviates CDDP-induced hearing loss in mice by inhibiting CDDP-induced inflammation and reducing the permeability of BLB.
RESUMO
Objective:To delineate the morphological features of pedicle-facet joints in lumbar spondylolysis patients, correlating these with spinopelvic parameters to explore their mechanisms and clinical implications.Methods:This study enrolled 121 patients with L 5 spondylolysis (IS group), 108 with L 4, 5 degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS group), and 100 with normal L 4, 5 but L 5S 1 lumbar disc herniation (NL group), who underwent radiography and multislice spiral CT from May 2020 to January 2023. Parameters including vertebral slip percentage (SP) and spinopelvic alignments, such as sacral slope and lumbar lordosis, were quantified using standing lateral lumbar radiographs. Morphological parameters of the L 4 and L 5 facet joints were measured on 3D reconstructed lumbar CT images, including the facet joint angle (FJA), pedicle-facet joint angle (PFA), facet joint osteoarthritis (OA), and facet joint tropism (FT). Results:The analysis revealed significant variances in SS and LL among the groups ( F=21.910, P<0.001; F=22.439, P<0.001). The IS group exhibited the highest SS and LL, followed by the DS and NL groups. Morphological assessments showed the largest L 4 FJA in the IS group, with progressive decreases in the DS and NL groups ( F=344.791, P<0.001). Conversely, L 4 PFA was greatest in the DS group ( F=193.725, P<0.001). Notably, L 4 OA was markedly more severe in the DS group compared to IS and NL groups ( H=467.925, P<0.001), with no significant disparity between IS and NL groups ( P>0.05). Correlation analyses within each cohort highlighted a negative association of sacral slope and lumbar lordosis with facet joint angles, yet a positive correlation with pedicle-facet joint angles both with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Furthermore, L 4 facet joint angles were consistently smaller than those at L 5, and L 4 pedicle-facet joint angles were larger than L 5 ( P<0.05). Osteoarthritis at L 5 was more pronounced in the IS group compared to L 4 ( Z=7.043, P<0.001), a trend inversely observed in the DS group ( Z=11.868, P<0.001), while the NL group showed no significant osteoarthritic variance between levels ( Z=0.556, P=0.578). Conclusion:Patients with lumbar spondylolysis demonstrate elevated sacral slope and lumbar lordosis, indicative of increased localized biomechanical stress in the lumbar spine. These alterations in the morphology of the pedicle-facet joints highlight the distinctive structural adaptations and potential strain distributions within this cohort.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of evolocumab in elderly patients with high-risk cardiovascular diseases.Methods A total of 153 patients with poor lipid control after conventional statin therapy who were hospitalized in the cardiologic departments in the First,Sec-ond,Sixth and Eighth Medical Centers of Chinese PLA General Hospital from November 2019 to November 2022 were included,and divided into non-elderly group(＜60 years old,46 cases),eld-erly group(60-74 years old,66 case)and very elderly group(≥75 years old,41 cases).They were all given evolocumab treatment according to guidelines.Another 50 over-75-year-old patients with high-risk cardiovascular diseases and poor lipid control who were hospitalized in the above cardiologic departments during the same period were treated with a statin drug combined with ezetimibe,and served as conventional treatment group(control group).The baseline clinical data and the blood indicators at 4th and 12th week after drug administration,and the occurrence of ad-verse drug reactions and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)within 12 weeks were com-pared among the groups.Results The levels of LDL-C and TC were significantly decreased in the three evolocumab treatment groups at 4 and 12 weeks after medication when compared with the baseline values(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),but there were no obvious differences in the 2 levels among the 3 groups at 12 weeks(P＞0.05).At the time point,no statistical difference was observed in the incidence of adverse events in the three groups(2.2％vs 3.0％vs 2.4％,P＞0.05).The levels of LDL-C and TC were decreased significantly in the very elderly group and the conventional treatment group at the 12th week when compared with the baseline levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and the LDL-C level at the week was notably lower in the very elderly group than the convention-al treatment group(1.36±0.44 mmol/L vs 1.87±0.56 mmol/L,P＜0.01).But no difference was seen in the incidence of MACE between the 2 groups(12.2％vs 16.0％,P＞0.05),either in sur-vival rate between them(P=0.576).Conclusion For patients of all ages,evolocumab has good short-term efficacy in lipid control,and for those over 75 years old,the drug also shows good effi-cacy and sound safety.
RESUMO
Retinal vein occlusion(RVO)is the second most common cause of vision loss due to retinal vascular disease. Macular edema(ME)is a common complication of RVO and a major cause of central vision impairment. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)is a high-resolution imaging technique that can provide detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and choroid. OCT biomarkers play an important role in the early and accurate diagnosis of RVO-ME, prediction of disease progression, and assessment of visual prognosis. This article provides an overview of various OCT biomarkers for RVO-ME, including retinal thickness, disorganization of retinal inner layers, hyper-reflectivity of retinal inner layer, the integrity of external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone, the third highest reflectance band of the fovea, hyperreflective dots, paracentral acute middle maculopathy, prominent middle limiting membrane sign, serous retinal detachment height, macular volume and choroidal thickness. These biomarkers serve as objective indicators for evaluating the severity of RVO-ME, guiding treatment decisions, and predicting visual outcomes.
