Objective To investigate the characteristics of heart rate variability(HRV)in obese patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods We retrospectively analyzed 78 patients with severe OSAHS diagnosed by polysomnography(PSG)in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from April 2018 to May 2022.According to body mass index(BMI),the patients were divided into obese with severe OSAHS group(43 cases)and non-obese with severe OSAHS group(35 cases).All patients received 24-hour Holter monitoring while on polysomnography monitoring.The differences in HRV indexes between the groups and the correlation between HRV and clinical indicators were analyzed.Results In terms of basic data and PSG indexes,the analysis results showed that compared with those in the non-obese OSAHS group,weight,BMI,neck circumference,waist circumference,and AHI in obese with severe OSAHS group were significantly higher,while the standard deviation of the 24-hour normal R-R interval(SDNN),the standard deviation of the 5-minute mean(SDANN),the triangle index(TI),the heart rate deceleration force(DC),the standard deviation of the normal R-R interval(awake SDNN),and high frequency during sleep in the obese with severe OSAHS group were significantly lower(P＜0.05).The correlation results showed that among obese with severe OSAHS patients,root mean square of the difference of adjacent R-R interval(rMSSD)was negatively correlated with the course of hypertension;TI and DC were negatively correlated with AHI.After adjusting for neck circumference and waist circumference,the linear regression analysis showed that SDNN,SDANN,and rMSSD were correlated with systolic blood pressure(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is significant decrease in HRV index in obese patients with severe OSAHS,suggesting that deterioration of cardiac autonomic nervous regulation function may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Objective To Investigate the effect of copper ions on the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)and identify potential targets to improve the efficacy of NPC radiation therapy.Methods The content of copper ions in normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 and a variety of NPC cell lines was detected by a copper microplate assay.After adding 0,5,10,20,50,100,200 μmol/L copper ion solution and 0,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.5,1.0,2.0 mmol/L TEPA solution,CCK-8 assay was used to determine the effect of intracellular copper ion content on the survival rate of NPC cells before and after irradiation.And determine the drug concentration to be used in subsequent experiments.CCK-8 assay was used to determine the effect of intracellular copper ion content on the survival rate of NPC cells before and after irradiation,and to determine the drug concentration used in the copper ion group and TEPA group in the subsequent experiments.CCK-8 assay and clone formation assay were used to detect the changes in radiosensitivity of NPC cells after drug treatment.The DNA damage and MAPK-ERK signaling pathway-related protein expression of NPC cells in each group before and after irradiation were detected by Western blot.Results The content of copper ions in NPC cells was significantly higher than that in normal naso-pharyngeal epithelial cells(P＜0.05).When the concentration of copper ion solution was lower than 50 μmol/L,the radiation resistance of CNE1 cells was improved,and the radiation sensitivity of SUNE1 cells was increased by 0.1～0.2 mmol/L TEPA(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the NPC cell radiotherapy resistance of copper ion group was enhanced,and the NPC cell radiotherapy sensitivity of copper ion group was enhanced(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the activation degree of MAPK-ERK pathway in copper ion group was up-regulated(P＜0.05).MAPK-ERK pathway inhibitor SCH772984 effectively reversed copper-mediated NPC radiotherapy resistance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increased copper ion content in NPC cells promoted the radiotherapy resistance of NPC cells by activating the MAPK-ERK signaling pathway.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Cytopharmaceutical based on macrophages is a breakthrough in the field of targeted drug delivery. However, it remains a challenge to localize and control drug release while retaining macrophage activity and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect. Herein, a localized light-triggered release macrophage cytopharmaceutical (USIP@M) was proposed, which could utilize the tumor targeting and immunotherapy effects of macrophages to reverse the immune suppression of tumor microenvironment (TME). Amphiphilic block copolymers with ultraviolet (UV)-responsive o-nitrobenzyl groups were synthesized and co-loaded with sorafenib (SF), IMD-0354 (IMD), and upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), which were then taken up by macrophages, and the targeted delivery of drugs was realized by using the tumor tropism of macrophages. UCNPs converted near-infrared light with strong penetrability and high safety into UV light, which promoted the photoresponsive depolymerization of block copolymers and production of exosomes from USIP@M, accelerated drug efflux and maintained the activity of macrophages. IMD simultaneously polarized carrier macrophages and tumor-associated macrophages to exert the antitumor effect of macrophages, enhance T cell immunity, and alleviate the immunosuppressive state of TME. Synergistically with the chemotherapeutic effect of SF, it could effectively kill tumors. In conclusion, based on the localized light-triggered release strategy, this study constructed a novel macrophage cytopharmaceutical that could localize and control drug release while retaining the activity of macrophages and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect, which could effectively treat solid tumors.

Bipolar disorder （BD） is considered to be mainly related to qi， phlegm， fire and deficiency. Binding constraint of liver qi is the initial cause， while phlegm and qi interact obstruction as well as phlegm and fire interact binding is the key pathogenesis of the transformation between depression and mania， and deficiency of both qi and yin is the main reason of the protracted course of disease. In clinical practice， BD is divided into binding constraint of liver qi pattern， phlegm and qi interact obstruction pattern， phlegm and fire interact binding pattern， and deficiency of both qi and yin pattern， which can be treated with Jinyu Shugan Powder （金玉疏肝散）， Kaiyu Wendan Decoction （开郁温胆汤）， Qingxin Huatan Decoction （清心化痰汤）， and Baihe Shengmai Beverage （百合生脉饮） in their modifications respectively； moreover， Guanye Jinsitao （Herba Hyperici Perforati） is usually used to rectify qi， relieve phlegm and clear heat. It is also suggested to put focus on the prevention and treatment of qi， phlegm and heat simultaneously， and modify the medicinals flexibly in accordance with the pathogenesis evolution and the abnormal exuberance.

Objective: To analyze the medical care seeking of local and non-local pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients in Beijing from 2016 to 2021 and provide evidence for TB prevention and control in Beijing. Methods: The reported pulmonary TB data from 2016 to 2021 were collected from tuberculosis management information system and standard code management system of Chinese information system for disease control and prevention. The map data were obtained from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research. Excel 2016, SPSS 19.0, Python 3.9 and ArcGIS 10.6 softwares were used for data analysis and visualization for the inter-provincial mobility and inter-district mobility of pulmonary TB patient's medical care seeking in Beijing. Results: Among the reported pulmonary TB patients in Beijing from 2016 to 2021, 35.27%(24 307/68 926) were from 30 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. The top 5 provinces with pulmonary TB patients medical care seeking in Beijing were Hebei (39.58%,9 620/24 307), Shanxi (8.82%,2 145/24 307), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (8.66%,2 105/24 307), Heilongjiang (6.95%,1 690/24 307) and Henan (6.88%,1 672/24 307). Patients from these 5 provinces accounted for 70.89% (17 232/24 307) of total pulmonary TB patients from other provinces. The pulmonary TB patients from other provinces mainly flowed to Tongzhou district of Beijing, accounting for 46.72% (11 356/24 307). These pulmonary TB patients mainly visited grade Ⅲ (A) hospitals, such as Beijing Chest Hospital of Capital Medical University with the highest proportion of 44.76% (10 880/24 307). Among pulmonary TB patients with current residence in Beijing, those sought medical care in other districts accounted for 55.06% (24 566/44 619). The outflow and inflow of TB cases' medical care seeking occurred in 16 districts of Beijing. The median proportion of cross district medical care seeking in 16 districts was 59.30% (56.05%, 65.13%). The inflow of the medical care seeking in Tongzhou, Haidian and Xicheng district was greater than the outflow, and the outflow was greater than the inflow in the other 13 districts. The pulmonary TB patients in Beijing mainly went to Beijing Chest Hospital in Tongzhou for medical care seeking, accounting for 42.18%(18 822/44 619). Conclusions: The proportions of non-local pulmonary TB patients seeking medical care in Beijing from 2016 to 2021 and local pulmonary TB patients seeking medical care in other districts in Beijing were high, and the hospitals where non-local pulmonary TB patients and local pulmonary TB patients sought medical care respectively belonged to grade Ⅲ (A) and municipal designated medical institutions of TB.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of down-regulating miR-488 targeting Jag1 on the injury of hypoxia-reoxygenation myocardial H9c2 cells. METHODS: A hypoxic-reoxygenated myocardial H9c2 cell injury model was constructed. miR-488 inhibitor was used to transfect the cells. CCK-8 method and flow cytometry were used to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis in each group. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malonaldehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) levels were detected. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 associated X Protein (Bax) and B cell lymphoma/lewkmia-2 (Bcl-2). Target genes of miR-488 were predicted, and a luciferase reporter system was used to verify the targeting relationship between the two. Myocardial H9c2 cells were co-transfected with miR-488 inhibitor and Jag1 siRNA, and treated with hypoxia and reoxygenation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, LDH, SOD, MDA, CAT levels, and Bax, Bcl-2 protein expression were detected. RESULTS: The expression of miR-488 in the hypoxia-reoxygenated myocardial H9c2 cells was increased, along with reduced cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, increased Bax protein expression, decreased Bcl-2 protein expression, increased MDA, decreased CAT and SOD, and increased LDH level in the supernatant of cell culture. When myocardial H9c2 cells were transfected with miR-488 inhibitor and treated with hypoxia and reoxygenation, the expression of miR-488 was decreased, along with increased cell proliferation, decreased apoptosis, decreased Bax protein expression, increased Bcl-2 protein expression, decreased MDA, increased CAT and SOD, and decreased LDH level in the supernatant of cell culture. Down-regulation of miR-488 could target and down-regulate Jag1 expression. And Jag1 siRNA could reverse the effect of miR-488 inhibitor on the proliferation, apoptosis, LDH, SOD, MDA, CAT levels and the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 of hypoxic-reoxygenated myocardial H9c2 cells. CONCLUSION Down-regulating miR-488 targeted Jag1 can attenuate hypoxia-reoxygenation induced myocardial H9c2 cell injury.
