Objective:To analyze plaque characteristics of non-culprit coronary lesions with cholesterol crystals in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) by using optical coherence tomography(OCT). We also investigated the potential association between cholesterol crystals with plaque rupture and healed plaque at non-culprit segment.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Between January 2017 and December 2017, patients with AMI who underwent 3-vessel OCT imaging were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of cholesterol crystals at the non-culprit lesions. All patients underwent coronary angiography and OCT examination, and non-culprit plaque characteristics were compared between the two groups. The generalized estimating equation log-binomial multirariate regression model was used to assess the relationship between non-culprit lesions with cholesterol crystals and plaque rupture and plaque healing. The follow-up data collection ended in October 2023. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted, and log-rank tests were used to compare the cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events between the two groups.Results:A total of 173 AMI patients were included (aged (56.8±11.6) years; 124 men (71.7%)). Among 710 non-culprit lesions identified by OCT, there were 102 (14.4%) in cholesterol crystals group and 608 (85.6%) in non-cholesterol crystals group. Compared with non-culprit lesions without cholesterol crystals, those with cholesterol crystals had smaller minimum lumen diameter, severer diameter stenosis, and longer lesion length (all P<0.01). The prevalence of plaque rupture (17.6% (18/102) vs. 4.9% (30/608), P=0.001) and thin-cap fibroatheroma (31.4% (32/102) vs. 11.5% (70/608), P<0.01) was higher in the cholesterol crystals groups than in the non-cholesterol crystals group. In addition, vulnerable plaque characteristics such as (44.1% (45/102) vs. 25.8% (157/608), P<0.01), macrophages were more frequently observed in non-culprit lesions with cholesterol crystals. The generalized estimating equation log-binomial multivariate regression analyses showed that non-culprit cholesterol crystals were positively correlated with healed plaque ( OR=1.583, 95% CI: 1.004-2.495, P=0.048). Conversely, cholesterol crystals were not associated with plaque rupture ( OR=1.632, 95% CI: 0.745-3.576, P=0.221). The follow-up time was 2 142 (1 880, 2 198) days. Non-culprit cholesterol crystals were not related to the major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with AMI (log-rank P=0.558). Conclusions:Among AMI patients, non-culprit lesions with cholesterol crystals presented with severer luminal stenosis and increased plaque vulnerability. The presence of non-culprit cholesterol crystals was associated with rather than plaque rupture.

Isochrysis galbana is considered an ideal bait for functional foods and nutraceuticals of humans because of its high fucoxanthin(Fx)content.However,multi-omics analysis of the regula-tory networks for Fx biosynthesis in I.galbana has not been reported.In this study,we report a high-quality genome assembly of I.galbana LG007,which has a genome size of 92.73 Mb,with a contig N50 of 6.99 Mb and 14,900 protein-coding genes.Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of Haptophyta,with I.galbana sister to Emiliania huxleyi and Chrysochromulina tobinii.Evolutionary analysis revealed an estimated divergence time between I.galbana and E.huxleyi of～133 million years ago.Gene family analysis indicated that lipid metabolism-related genes exhibited significant expansion,including IgPLMT,IgOAR1,and IgDEGS1.Metabolome analysis showed that the content of carotenoids in I.galbana cultured under green light for 7 days was higher than that under white light,and β-carotene was the main carotenoid,accounting for 79.09％of the total carotenoids.Comprehensive multi-omics analysis revealed that the content of β-carotene,antheraxanthin,zeaxanthin,and Fx was increased by green light induction,which was significantly correlated with the expression of IgMYB98,IgZDS,IgPDS,IgLHCX2,IgZEP,IgLCYb,and IgNSY.These findings contribute to the understanding of Fx biosynthesis and its regulation,pro-viding a valuable reference for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Objective:To study the ability of the Retinal Health Assessment (RHA) system to obtain fundus images in patients with different types and degrees of cataracts.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.Forty-five eyes of 41 patients with cataract were enrolled in First People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University from December 2016 to January 2017.Lens opacity grading and RHA fundus imaging were performed after pupil dilation.Forty-five eyes were divided into 4 groups according to the degree of lens opacity: cortical cataract group 18 eyes, nucleus cataract group 21 eyes, posterior subcapsular cataract group 2 eyes, hybrid cataract group 4 eyes.Fundus images were obtained by FullSpectrum mode of RHA2020, and the clearness of fundus images was evaluated.Scores of fundus images clarity were compared between the cortical cataract group and nucleus cataract group.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of First People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results:In all 45 eyes, the phacoscotasmus classification ranged from mildest (C0N2P0, 1 eye) to very serious (C2N5P2 and C4N2P4, 2 eyes). The grade Ⅳ nuclear opacity, grade Ⅲ cortical opacity, and grade Ⅲ posterior subcapsular opacity reduced the quality of RHA images significantly, especially for images with red and green light.In cortical cataract group, images showed peripapillary vessels and retinal vessels at 580 nm and 590 nm, while retinal and choroidal vessels, as well as choroidal pigmentation, were visible at 810 nm.The clarity scores at 580, 590 and 810 nm were 2.0 (1.0, 3.0), 2.0 (2.0, 3.0) and 2.0 (2.0, 3.0), which were lower than that with red and green light (620 nm + 550 nm) (3.0[2.0, 3.0]), with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In nucleus cataract group, the quality of fundus images from the eyes with grade Ⅲ nucleus cataracts was good, the image quality decreased when the nucleus opacity was grade Ⅳ, retinal vessels were occasionally observed at 580 nm and 590 nm.Additionally, retinal and choroidal vessels and choroidal pigment were visible at 810 nm and 850 nm.The clarity scores at 580, 590, 810 and 850 nm were 1.0 (1.0, 3.0), 2.0 (1.0, 3.0) and 2.0 (1.0, 3.0), which were lower than that with red and green light (620 nm + 550 nm) (3.0[1.5, 3.0]), with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In posterior subcapsular cataract group, the retinal vessels were visible at 580 nm, meanwhile retinal and choroidal vessels and choroidal pigment could be observed at 810 nm and 850 nm.In hybrid cataract group, running lines of retinal vessels could be seen at 850 nm, while the central reflection was absent.Focal choroidal vessels were observed. Conclusions:Except for severe cases, RHA system can produce good quality fundus images in cataract eyes at 580, 590, 810 and 850 nm, facilitating the evaluation of fundus disease before surgery and prediction of visual outcomes after surgery.

Objective: To preliminarily investigate the difference of position fixation accuracy between polyurethane styrofoam and vacuum negative pressure pad in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) after radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Methods: Forty breast cancer patients, who received breast-conserving surgery followed by hyper-fractionated IMRT of the whole breast (42.56 Gy for 16 times) in our hospital between 2017 and 2018 were recruited and randomly divided into the polyurethane styrofoam group and vacuum negative pressure pad group. Before IMRT treatment, the anterior and lateral films of patients were taken with kilovoltage digital radiographs (KVDRs) by Varian Trilogy machine-borne OBI KV image verification system. The KVDRs images were matched with the DRR images reconstructed by the planned system to obtain the setup errors in the left and right, head and foot, and ventral and back directions between two groups. Each patient was verified for 10 times to obtain 400 sets of data. The independent sample t-test was adopted to analyze the setup errors between two groups. The external expansion value of graded setup errors from clinical target volume (CTV) and planned target volume (PTV) was calculated. Results: The setup errors in the left and right, head and foot, ventral and back directions between the styrofoam fixation and vacuum pad groups were (1.63±1.29) mm and (1.83 ±1.61) mm (P=0.18), (1.46±1.51) mm and (2.26±2.03) mm (P=0.00), and (1.30±1.35) mm and (1.91±1.67) mm (P=0.00), respectively. The external expansion values of setup errors from CTV to PTV were 2.19 mm, 2.51 mm, 1.57 mm and 2.40 mm, 3.97 mm and 2.63 mm, respectively. Conclusion Both two fixation methods meet the clinical requirements. However, the setup accuracy and reproducibility in the polyurethane styrofoam group are better than those in the vacuum negative pressure pad group.

Objective To investigate the difference of styrofoam and breast carrier in postposition fixation of intensity-modulated radiotherapy after breast conservative surgery for breast cancer patients.Methods From February 2018 to August 2018,tweenty-four patients with breast cancer in Sun Yet-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yet-sen University were selected for this study,who underwent hypofactionationed radiotherapy after breast conservative surgery with total dose 42.56 Gy/16Fractions.They were randomized into styrofoam test group and breastcarrier control group.Cone beam CT as used to record the positioning error under the directions of left and right (x),head and foot (y),abdomen and back (y) within two groups at the first,third,fifth,seventh,eleventh time before irradiation.Furthermore,the PTV extension margin was calculated and the positioning time of two groups was recorded.Two sets of pendulum errors were analyzed by independent sample T-test,and the outspread value of inter-fractional set up error of the PTV was calculated.Results The errors of the test group and the control group in the direction of x,y,z were as follows:(2.36±1.89) and (2.56±2.05) mm (P=0.49),(1.76± 1.78) and (3.28±2.79) mm (P＜0.05),(1.47± 1.49) and (1.73± 1.81) mm (P=0.28).The extension values of inter-fractional set up error of CTV to PTV were 2.97,2.92,2.21 mm and 3.41,4.09,2.59 mm respectively.The time of single positioning was (3.4± 1.1) and (5.5 ± 3.1) min respectively (P=0.01).Conclusion Styrofoam has better positioning accuracy and efficiency compared with breast carrier.

Objective? To investigate the relationship between blood glucose variability and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods? From July to Decebmer 2017,The fasting blood glucose (FBG) of 125 ACS patients was dynamically monitoredfor 1 year after discharge. The coefficient of variance(CV) of blood glucose was calculated and the morbidity of MACE was recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the CV of blood glucose and MACE. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive power of the CV of blood glucose for MACE.Results? The morbidity of MACE was 15.2%, which was positively correlated with the CV of blood glucose(OR=1.461; 95%CI:1.202-1.775;P＜ 0.001) and negatively correlated with high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels(OR=0.008; 95%CI:0.000-0.684;P=0.033).The CVof blood glucose showed a predictive power for the morbidity of MACE, whose cutoff value was 18.4%. Conclusions? Long-term variability is a risk factor for the morbidity of MACE after discharge in ACS patients. Continuous care should be strengthened for patients after discharge, controlling their blood glucose while reducing the volatility of blood glucose.

Objective: This research is conducted to analyze the background, the main practices and the results of the synergistic service of health institutions in Changzhou city, as well as to provide references for promoting the construction of integrated medical and health service system.Methods: This paper uses qualitative interviews and questionnaires to collect information and analyzes the data based on synergetic management theory.Results:Changzhou city has tentatively achieved the synergy of its health institutions by introducing relevant policies, setting up healthcare unions at the municipal level, integrating internal resources among healthcare unions, establishing health information platform and feedback mechanism, etc.Conclusion: The regional synergistic service of health institutions can be effectively promoted by introducing policies at the municipal level, promoting the mutual sharing and communication on information, and integrating internal resources among healthcare unions.But, as there still exist problems such as the distribution of benefits is not perfect, the degree of synergy is not close, etc., thus, the government is suggested to expand the implementation scope of the close-type medical service synergy and further improve the distribution policy of benefits.

With the universal two-child policy implementation, the birth rate increased, posing challenges to pediatrician allocation. Based on the birth rate, we calculated pediatrician demands and gaps during the period from 2016 to 2020 by the method of health service demand. The results showed that except Beijing and Shanghai, the ped-iatrician supply and demand ratios are less than 0 . 80 and additional numbers of pediatricians ranging from 191 981 to 198 287 are needed to meet the service demands. We recommend increasing the number of pediatricians taking both national supply-demand ratios and gaps by rationally using reasonable enrolment quota and improving the treatment and other reasonable ways to increase pediatricians. In addition, we should enhance information disclosure and guid-ance, and improve the hierarchical hospital visit system to alleviate the pressure of big cities.
