ObjectiveTo observe the effects of the Fuyuan Tongluo prescription （composed of Astragali Radix， Carthami Flos， Spatholobi Caulis， Liquidambaris Fructus， Lycopodii Herba， Centellae Herba， etc.） in the treatment of restenosis with collateral obstruction syndrome after interventional operation of lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans， and its impact on the primary patency rate. MethodsA total of 88 patients with collateral obstruction syndrome after interventional surgery for lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans were randomly divided into two groups. The control group （n₁=44） received dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel. The observation group （n₂=44） was treated with Fuyuan Tongluo prescription non-decocted granules in addition to aspirin and clopidogrel. Both groups received treatment for 24 weeks and were followed up for 36 weeks. The changes in primary patency rate， symptom scores， ankle-brachial index （ABI）， coagulation function， and inflammatory markers before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. ResultsFor primary patency rate， after 36 weeks of treatment， the observation group had a significantly better primary patency rate than the control group （χ²=4.14，P<0.05）. After 24 weeks of treatment， there was no significant difference in primary patency rate between the two groups. Clinical efficacy comparison： Based on symptom quantification scores， and using the Nimodipine method as a reference， the overall efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group after 24 weeks of treatment （χ²=2.24，P<0.05）. ABI levels： The observation group had a higher ABI than the control group after 24 and 36 weeks of treatment （P<0.05）. Coagulation function indicators： After 24 and 36 weeks of treatment， D-dimer and fibrinogen levels in both groups were lower than before treatment （P<0.05）. Inflammatory markers： After 24 and 36 weeks of treatment， CRP levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. There were no significant differences in white blood cell （WBC） and erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR） levels before and after treatment between the two groups. ConclusionAdding Fuyuan Tongluo prescription non-decocted granules to dual antiplatelet therapy can improve the primary patency rate of the affected vessels in patients with lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans after interventional surgery. Longer use of Fuyuan Tongluo prescription can significantly improve clinical symptoms， demonstrating clinical application value.

Objective: To explore the association of screening myopia and sitting posture habits as well as screen viewing distance among primary school students, providing a scientific basis for myopia prevention and intervention among primary school students. Methods: From April to June 2024, a convenient sampling method was used to enroll 1 394 fourth grade students from four primary schools in a district of Beijing for vision examinations and questionnaire surveys. Logistic regression models were employed to analyze the relationship of screening myopia detection and sitting posture habits as well as viewing distance. Results: The screening myopia prevalence among primary school students was 63.8%. About 13.1% of students self reported poor sitting posture, and 47.1% selfreported a viewing distance of ≤20 cm. After adjusting for covariates including age, gender, school, sleep quality, parental myopia status, physical fitness level, daily high intensity physical activity, weekend outdoor activity time and types of after school services, Logistic regression analysis showed that students with poor sitting posture were more likely to have screening myopia than those with normal sitting posture ( OR =1.73,95% CI =1.03-2.92); students with a viewing distance of ≤20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia than those with a viewing distance of >20 cm( OR =1.32, 95% CI =1.02-1.71)( P <0.05). The association between sitting posture and screening myopia was more significant among boys( OR =2.00, 95% CI =1.03-3.88, P < 0.05 ). A multiplicative interaction was observed between sitting posture and viewing distance. Compared to primary school students with normal posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm, those with poor posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia ( OR =1.82, 95% CI =1.12-2.96， P <0.05). Conclusions Both sitting posture habits and screen viewing distance are related to screening myopia in primary school students. Poor sitting posture poses a higher risk than screen distance, and the two factors exhibit an interactive effect on myopia risk.

Objective To investigate the serum levels of homocysteine(HCY)and cystatin C(Cys-C)in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)-associated vasculitis(AAV)associated renal injury,and to explore the diagnostic value of combined detection of HCY and Cys-C in ANCA-associated renal injury.Methods We selected 70 ANCA-positive patients with renal injury admitted to the Department of Nephrology in our hospital from January 2016 to January 2019.Another 48 patients with ANCA-positive but not complicated with renal injury were in simple ANCA positive group while 50 patients with physical examination who came to the hospital during the same period were in control group.Healthy patients served as the control group.By comparing the differences in the test results of different groups,the area under the curve(AUC)of each test index for ANCA-positive renal injury was determined,and the correlation and diagnostic value of combined detection of HCY and Cys-C for ANCA-related renal injury were calculated.Results The levels of HCY and Cys-C in the ANCA positive combined with renal injury group,the pure ANCA positive group,and the control group differed significantly(P＜0.05).The positive rates of HCY and Cys-C in the two groups were significantly different(P＜0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of HCY and Cys-C in combination for the diagnosis of ANCA-positive related renal injury were significantly higher than those of the above indicators alone(P＜0.05).ROC curve results showed that HCY combined with Cys-C had a better diagnosis for patients with positive ANCA and associated renal injury and a higher correlation.Conclusion HCY combined with Cys-C is closely correlated to ANCA-related renal injury,and the combined detection has a positive effect on the diagnosis of patients with ANCA-positive related renal injury,and has guiding value for the treatment of patients.

Objective:To understand the monkeypox knowledge awareness, risk perception and vaccination intention in men who have sex with men (MSM) in five cities in northeast China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted by using electronic questionnaire in MSM selected by convenience sampling in five cities in northeast China (Shenyang, Panjin, Changchun, Harbin and Jiamusi) from June 28 to July 8, 2023 by local centers for disease control and prevention and MSM communities. The sample size was estimated to be 220. Information about their demographics, monkeypox-related knowledge awareness, perceived concern about epidemic risk perception, and monkeypox vaccination intention were collected. Logistic regression model was used to analyze related factors for MSM's monkeypox vaccination intention.Results:In 355 MSM, 63.9% (227/355) had monkeypox vaccination intentions, and 55.5% (197/355) had high awareness of monkeypox related knowledge with a mean knowledge awareness score of 3.7±1.5. MSM with education level of high-school and above (a OR=1.93, 95% CI:1.01-3.69), higher knowledge awareness score (a OR=1.19, 95% CI:1.02-1.40) and higher risk perception of monkeypox infection (a OR=1.82, 95% CI:1.15-2.88), were more willing to receive monkeypox vaccination. The main reasons for willingness to receive monkeypox vaccine were preventing monkeypox (86.3%, 196/227) and worrying about appearance being affected (62.1%, 141/227). The main reasons for unwillingness for the vaccination included concerns about vaccine safety (53.1%, 68/128), clinical progression of AIDS being affected (46.1%, 59/128) and efficacy of antiretroviral therapy being affected (44.5%, 57/128). Conclusions:The levels of knowledge awareness and vaccine intentions still need to be improved among MSM in five cities of northeast China. It is necessary to improve the awareness of monkeypox and intention of monkeypox vaccination, promote protected sex behavior and self-assessment of infection risk, reduce vaccine hesitancy and increase monkeypox vaccination intention in MSM in 5 cities in northeast China.

Objective To investigate the effect of nasal mask on preventing respiratory depression and hypoxia during anesthesia under painless gastroscopy.Methods 246 patients underwent elective painless gastroscopy from September 2022 to March 2023 were selected and divided into nasal catheter oxygen group(group C)and nasal mask oxygen group(group M)according to random number table method.The group C was inhaled oxygen by conventional nasal cannula,and in group M,oxygen was inhaled by a nasal mask.Patients in both groups were given 5 L/min preoxygenation for 3 min.After induction of anesthesia,gastroscopy was performed when modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation(MOAA/S)score≤1.During anesthesia,hypoxia interventions were performed in group C based on percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation(SpO2)and in group M based on partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide(PetCO2)and SpO2.The incidence of subclinical respiratory depression,hypoxia and severe hypoxia during anesthesia was recorded.The minimum SpO2 value during anesthesia was recorded;Implementation of intervention measures of jaw lifting,mask pressure oxygen and tracheal intubation.Record the number of gastroscope withdrawal cases.Mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),and respiratory rate(RR)were recorded at the time of entry(T0),immediately after induction of anesthesia(T1),at the end of gastroscopy(T2),and 5 minutes after awakening(T3).The occurrence of perioperative adverse events and the satisfaction of anesthesiologists and endoscopists were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of subclinical respiratory depression,hypoxia and severe hypoxia in group M was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The minimum value of SpO2 during anesthesia in group M was higher than that in group C(P<0.05).The incidence of jaw-lifting and mask ventilation were lower in group M than that in group C(P<0.05).The incidence of gastroscope withdrawal due to airway intervention in group M was lower than that in group C(P<0.05).Compared with T0,MAP,HR and RR of the two groups were significant reduction at T1 and T2(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups(P>0.05).The satisfaction of endoscopists in group M was higher than that in group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with nasal catheter oxygen inhalation,anesthesia nasal mask can timely detect hypopnea and respiratory depression during gastroscopy,reduce the occurrence of hypoxia,and improve the airway safety of painless gastroscopy patients.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of anthropometric indicators in predicting cardiovascular risk in the population with metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods:A cross-sectional study was used to analyze the correlation between anthropometric measures and cardiovascular risk in subjects with MS. Cardiometabolic risk was assessed with cardiometabolic risk index(CMRI). Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the predictive power of anthropometric measures for cardiometabolic risk.Results:(1) The anthropometric measures [body mass index(BMI), waist-hip ratio(WHR), waist-to-height ratio(WtHR), body fat percentage(BFP), visceral fat index(VFI), conicity index(CI), a body shape index(ABSI), body roundness index(BRI), abdominal volume index(AVI)] in the MS group were significantly higher than those in the non-MS group( P<0.05). Moreover, there were significant differences in CMRI score and vascular risk between the two groups( P<0.05). (2) Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular risk was increased with the increases of BMI, VFI, WHR, WtHR, CI, BRI, and AVI after adjusting for confounding factors in the overall population, the non-MS population, and the MS population( P<0.05). (3) In the ROC analysis, the AUC values of BMI, VFI, and AVI were 0.767, 0.734, and 0.770 in the overall population; 0.844, 0.816, and 0.795 in the non-MS population; 0.701, 0.666, and 0.702 in the MS population, respectively. For the overall population and non-MS population, the optimal cut points of BMI to diagnose high cardiovascular risk were 26.04 kg/m 2 and 24.36 kg/m 2; the optimal cut points of VFI were 10.25 and 9.75; the optimal cut points of AVI were 17.3 cm 2 and 15.53 cm 2, respectively. In the MS population, the optimal cut point as a predictor of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-aged men with MS was 27.63 kg/m 2, and the optimal cut point of AVI in women was 18.08 cm 2. Conclusion:BMI, VFI, and AVI can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk in the general population. BMI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-age men with MS. AVI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in women with MS.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of low-intensity illumination 3D heads-up system-assisted pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and traditional microscope eyepiece system-assisted PPV for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted.Forty patients (40 eyes) who were diagnosed as PDR and met the PPV standard were included in Xuzhou First People's Hospital from June to December 2022.The patients were randomly divided into 3D group and eyepiece group using a random number table method, with 20 eyes in each group.The eyes in 3D group underwent 3D heads-up system-assisted PPV, and the eyes in eyepiece group received traditional microscope eyepiece system-assisted PPV.The intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg(0.05 ml) ranibizumab was performed 6 or 7 days prior to three-channel 25G PPV for all the eyes.The brightness of endoilluminator was adjusted to minimum level during the surgical procedure, and the brightness of the optical fiber and chandelier in 3D group was set to 20%, while that in eyepiece group was 32% and 46%, respectively, and was further matched to the actual requirements of the surgery.The light intensity of optical fiber and chandelier was measured at 5 mm and 10 mm with a digital photometer.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured before surgery and 7 days, 1 month and 3 months after surgery.Electroretinogram (ERG) was recorded by the Retiscan before surgery and 1 month after surgery to evaluate retinal function.Intraocular pressure and postoperative complications in both groups were compared.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of The Affiliated Xuzhou Municipal Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University (No.xyy11[2022]027). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the cohort.Results:The BCVA was 2.21±1.13, 1.99±1.07, 1.26±0.86 and 0.98±0.65 in 3D group, and 1.89±0.95, 1.94±0.79, 1.42±0.80 and 1.31±0.79 in eyepiece group at before surgery and 7 days, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery, respectively.There was no significantly intergroup difference in BCVA ( Fgroup=0.022, P=0.884). The BCVA was significantly different at various time points before and after surgery ( Ftime=18.765, P<0.001). The BCVA was significantly improved at 1 and 3 months after surgery in 3D group and at 3 months after surgery in eyepiece group in comparison with before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). There were significant differences in the latency of dark-adapted 3.0 a-wave before and after surgery between two groups ( Htime=3.983, P=0.046), and the latency of dark-adapted 3.0 a-wave was shorter after surgery than before surgery in both groups (all at P<0.05). The light intensities of optical fiber and chandelier at 5 mm and 10 mm during surgery were lower in 3D group than in eyepiece group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.001). There was no significant difference in intraocular pressure between the two groups at different time points ( Fgroup=0.980, P=0.328; Ftime=2.706, P=0.062). There was no significant difference in the number of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage between the two groups ( χ2=0.960, P=0.327). Conclusions:Low-intensity illumination 3D heads-up system-assisted PPV has the same outcome as traditional microscope eyepiece system-assisted PPV for PDR.However, compared with the traditional microscope eyepiece system, the light intensity on the retina from low-intensity illumination 3D heads-up system is lower on the retina during surgery and therefore produce less light damage to retinal function of patients.

Aconitine,a common and main toxic component of Aconitum,is toxic to the central nervous system.However,the mechanism of aconitine neurotoxicity is not yet clear.In this work,we had the hypothesis that excitatory amino acids can trigger excitotoxicity as a pointcut to explore the mechanism of neurotoxicity induced by aconitine.HT22 cells were simulated by aconitine and the changes of target cell metabolites were real-time online investigated based on a microfluidic chip-mass spectrometry system.Meanwhile,to confirm the metabolic mechanism of aconitine toxicity on HT22 cells,the levels of lactate dehydrogenase,intracellular Ca2+,reactive oxygen species,glutathione and superoxide dismutase,and ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 protein were detected by molecular biotechnology.Integration of the detected results revealed that neurotoxicity induced by aconitine was associated with the process of excitotoxicity caused by glutamic acid and aspartic acid,which was followed by the accumulation of lactic acid and reduction of glucose.The surge of extracellular glutamic acid could further lead to a series of cascade reactions including intracellular Ca2+overload and oxidative stress,and eventually result in cell apoptosis.In general,we illustrated a new mechanism of aconitine neurotoxicity and presented a novel analysis strategy that real-time online monitoring of cell metabolites can provide a new approach to mechanism analysis.
