Objective:To investigate the application value of 72-hour three-lead electrocardiogram(ECG)monitoring with adhesive patch(AP)in patients with palpitation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the medical history and ECG data of the patients who underwent 72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP due to palpitation in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.The incidence rates of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes were compared at 24 and 72 hours,as well as the rate difference between the detection rate of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes at 72 hours and the detection rate at 24 hours in the context of various risk factors such as age,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,and coronary heart disease.Results:Among the 216 pa-tients with palpitation,the detection rates of various types of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes at 72 hours were significantly higher than those at 24 hours(P<0.05).The rate difference of atrial premature beats in patients aged<60 years was significantly higher than that in patients aged≥60 years(P<0.01).The rate difference of atrial premature beats in hypertensive patients was lower than that in non-hypertensive patients(P<0.05).The rate difference of T-wave changes in patients without hypertension or coronary heart dis-ease was greater than that in patients with hypertension or coronary heart disease(P<0.01).Compared with 24-hour three-lead ECG monitoring,72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP can significantly improve the detection rate of arrhythmia and transient ST-T changes.In patients with palpitation aged<60 years or without hypertension,72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP is more sen-sitive to atrial premature beats which are consistent with self-perceived symptoms,and in patients with palpitation without hyperten-sion or coronary heart disease,72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP is more sensitive to transient T-wave changes associated with symptoms.Conclusion:The technique of 72-hour three-lead ECG monitoring with AP greatly promotes the accuracy and timeli-ness of diagnosis,reduces the economic burden of patients with pal-pitations,and optimizes the allocation of medical resources.

Objective:To investigate immunotherapy effects and mechanism of BCG and recombinant BCG(rBCG)with c-di-AMP as adjuvant on melanoma in mice model.Methods:Melanoma mice model was established by B16F10 cell subcutaneous injec-tion in groin,and treated with 1×106 CFU of BCG and rBCG by adjacent injection of subcutaneous tumor for 3 times,respectively.Survival of melanotic mice,tumor growth and metastasis were observed.Tumor tissues of mice were isolated to prepare cell suspen-sion,and proportion of immune cells were detected by flow cytometry.Transcriptional levels of immune-related genes in tumor tissues were detected by qRT-PCR.Results:Both BCG and rBCG immunotherapy could significantly inhibit growth in melanoma mice and prolong survival time of mice.rBCG showed better inhibition on metastasis than BCG.Both strains significantly reduced proportion of M2-type macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cell associated with tumor growth and metastasis.Both two strains promoted infiltration of lymphocytes in tumor tissues,and rBCG significantly increased proportion of B cells in tumor.BCG immunotherapy upregulated transcription levels of metastasis-related cytokines,while rBCG therapy had no effects on transcriptions of these genes.Conclusion:Both BCG and rBCG have immunotherapeutic effects on melanotic mice,and rBCG with c-di-AMP as adjuvant shows better inhibition on tumor metastasis than BCG,which mechanism was related to regulation of immune response in tumor tissues.

Objective To systematically evaluate and integrate qualitative studies on perception of exercise behaviors in community-dwelling older adults with frailty,and to provide references for clinical development of targeted exercise intervention strategies.Methods A systematic search of PubMed,Medline,Embase,PsycINFO,the Cochrane Library,SinoMed,Wanfang Database,CNKI,and VIP Database for qualitative studies on perception of exercise behaviors in older adults with frailty in the community was conducted from the inception of the databases to June 2024.Literature quality was evaluated using the Australian Joanna Briggs Institute Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research(2016 edition),and Meta-synthesis was performed using the theme synthesis method.Results A total of 10 papers were included,grouped into 10 categories and integrated into the 3 domains of the capability,opportunity,and motivation-behavior model(COM-B model),i.e.Preparation for exercise behavior is influenced by capability factors(physical reserve,knowledge reserve,psychological preparation);stage-specific motivational evolution promotes the internalization of exercise behavior(guiding,focusing,stimulating,and maintaining);external conditions provide opportunities for exercise behavior(individual interaction,community environment,and social support).Conclusion Perceptions of exercise behavior among community-dwelling older adults with frailty or are complex and influenced by a variety of factors.Future exercise intervention strategies should consider modifiable factors,enhance knowledge education,stimulate intrinsic motivation,and solidify external conditions,while also accommodating individual differences and preferences,so as to promote exercise participation and health enhancement in this group.
