Objective:To assess the clinical value of global RNA N6-methyladenosine (m 6A) and perilipin 2 (PLIN2) mRNA site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification in peripheral blood as novel molecular biomarkers of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods:Seventy-four patients with coronary artery disease diagnosed at the Eastern Theater General Hospital from June to December 2023, and 60 age-and sex-matched healthy controls during the same period were selected for a retrospective case-control study. The global RNA m 6A modification level in peripheral blood was detected by RNA methylation quantitative detection kit as a preliminary validation, and PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification level was further detected using the qPCR quantification technique with single-base elongation and ligation as a rescreening validation. Lipid indicators such as total cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), routine blood indicators such as neutrophil count and platelet count were detected, and the coronary lesion characteristics were further evaluated by using the Gensini score and SYNTAX score systems in conjunction with coronary arteriography results.The CAD group was divided into a single-branch (25 cases) and a multi-branch lesion subgroup (49 cases) according to the number of vascular lesion branches on coronary angiography. The potential value of global RNA m 6A and PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification levels in peripheral blood of patients for the adjunctive diagnosis and assessment of coronary artery disease was explored using Spearman correlation analysis, subject operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and logistic regression analysis. Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of global RNA m 6A modification and PLIN2 site-specific (chr9∶19116312) m 6A modification in peripheral blood were significantly decreased in the CAD group (both P<0.05). The levels of global RNA m 6A modification in peripheral blood was also significantly decreased in the single-branch and multi-branch lesion subgroups ( P<0.05), and PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification in peripheral blood was significantly decreased in the multi-branch lesion subgroup only ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that in both the CAD group and the multi-branch lesion subgroup, global RNA m 6A modification level in peripheral blood was positively correlated with HDL-C ( r=0.246, 0.289, P<0.05) and negatively correlated with SYNTAX score ( r=-0.261, -0.322, P<0.05) and neutrophil count ( r=-0.246, -0.466, P<0.05). In the single-branch lesion subgroup of CAD, PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification level was negatively correlated with Gensini score ( r=-0.566, P<0.05). In the multi-branch lesion subgroup of CAD, PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification level was negatively correlated with platelet count ( r=-0.313, P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of global RNA m 6A and PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification levels in peripheral blood for distinguishing CAD and coronary artery multi-branch lesions were 0.915 and 0.918, with specificity of 83.3% and 95.0%, and sensitivity of 85.1% and 75.5%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting confounding factors such as age, sex, proportion of diabetes and hypertension, and TC, the levels of global RNA m 6A modification ( OR=0.691, P<0.001; OR=0.694, P<0.01), and PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification levels ( OR=0.345, P<0.05; OR=0.143, P<0.01) in peripheral blood remained independently associated with CAD and coronary artery multi-branch lesions, respectively. Conclusions:The analysis of global RNA m 6A in combination with PLIN2 site-specific (chr9:19116312) m 6A modification levels in peripheral blood is valuable for the adjunctive diagnosis and assessment of patients with CAD and coronary artery multi-branch lesions.

Objective To systematically integrate the best evidence on pulmonary rehabilitation nursing for patients with tracheostomy after stroke(TAS),so as to provide evidence-based basis for clinical practice.Methods Following evidence-based medicine principles,we conducted a systematic search of literatures related to pulmonary rehabilitation nursing for patients with TAS in databases including UpToDate,BMJ Best Practice,PubMed,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,VIP Database,and China Biology Medicine(CBM).Literature types included guidelines,expert consensus,systematic reviews,meta-analyses,evidence summaries,and original studies,with the search period spanning from the inception of the database to Jan.2025.Two researchers independently assessed the quality of the included literatures using standardized tools such as Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation-Ⅱ and Joanna Briggs Institute tools,followed by grading and synthesizing evidences meeting the criteria.Results A total of 20 articles were included,including 6 guidelines,5 expert consensuses,4 meta-analyses,3 clinical decision-making papers,1 systematic review,and 1 randomized controlled trial.A total of 32 recommendations were formed,covering 6 dimensions:airway management(8 items),comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation training(8 items),basic treatment(5 items),safety management(4 items),extubation nursing(3 items)and prevention of complications during the peri-extubation period(4 items).The evidence grades ranged from grade A(strong recommendation)to grade B(recommendation).Conclusion This study systematically synthesizes core elements of pulmonary rehabilitation nursing for patients with TAS through evidence-based methodology.The established multidimensional evidence framework provides scientific guidance for improving respiratory function,reducing complications,and optimizing extubation decisions.Clinicians are advised to adapt these recommendations to local contexts for practical implementation.

Objective To analyze the serum high-density lipoprotein 3 subtype cholesterol(HDL3-C)levels in patients with ischemic stroke(IS)and explore its clinical value in evaluating the condition and prognosis.Methods A total of 124 patients with IS and 47 healthy controls admitted to the Department of Neurology of the General Hospital of the Eastern Theater Command were continuously se-lected from January to June 2023.The serum samples of IS patients at admission and healthy controls were collected respectively,and the levels of HDL3-C,total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipopro-tein cholesterol(LDL-C),blood glucose(Glu),albumin(Alb),interleukin 6(IL-6)and procalcitonin(PCT)were measured.The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score at admission,modified Rankin Scale(MRS)score at discharge,and Barthel index of the IS patients were calculated.All the IS patients were followed up for 1 year.The time of sequelae caused by stroke,and re-currence of acute cerebrovascular events were recorded in detail.Spearman's correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation be-tween HDL3-C levels and other clinical events and biochemical parameters in the IS patients.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical value of serum HDL3-C levels in evaluating the presence of IS.Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the clin-ical value of serum HDL3-C levels in assessing the prognosis of patients with IS.Results Compared with controls,the levels of HDL3-C,HDL-C and Alb of the patients with IS decreased significantly,but the levels of TG and Glu of the IS patients increased sig-nificantly(all P＜0.05).The level of serum HDL3-C in patients with IS was significantly positively correlated with TC(r=0.231,P=0.003),HDL-C(r=0.831,P＜0.001),Alb(r=0.451,P＜0.001)and Barthel index at discharge(r=0.216,P=0.018),while it was significantly negatively correlated with the levels of TG(r=-0.396,P＜0.001),IL-6(r=-0.290,P=0.013),NIHSS at admis-sion(r=-0.187,P=0.041)and MRS at discharge(r=-0.227,P=0.012).Multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that the decreased level of serum HDL3-C was still independently related to the presence of IS(OR=0.853,95％CI=0.740-0.984,P=0.030)after adjusting for the fectors of age,sex,TC,TG,HDL-C and LDL-C.Multivariate Cox regression analyses demonstrates that the de-creased level of serum HDL3-C was still independently related to the poor prognosis of IS patients(HR=0.710,95％CI=0.517-0.976,P=0.035)after adjusting for the fectors of age,sex,TC,TG,HDL-C and LDL-C.Conclusion The level of serum HDL3-C in pa-tients with IS decreased significantly,and it is independently correlated with poor prognosis.The level of HDL3-C has reference value in evaluating the condition and prognosis of the patients with IS.

Objective: To investigate the present situation of health education on school myopia prevention and control in primary and middle schools in Beijing, so as to provide scientific basis and suggestions for effective implementation of health education on school myopia prevention and control. Methods: From November 6-17, 2023, a total of 551 school doctors and health care teachers from public primary and secondary schools in seven districts of Beijing were investigated by using stratified random cluster sampling method. The contents included basic information, the basic situation of school health work, and the status of myopia prevention and control in schools. The data was described by frequency and proportion. Chisquare test was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: A total of 89.8% of the respondents were found in the school of offering health education courses about myopia prevention and control. Among these respondents, 54.5% were equipped with health education course material of professional myopia prevention and control, and the teachers were primarily class teachers (57.6%), health care teachers (45.5%), and physical education teachers (45.1%), and most of the classes were conducted once a month (33.7%) and once a semester (28.1%). A total of 95.6% of the subjects had health education activities about myopia prevention and control at their schools. The frequency of activities was once a month (38.5%) and once a semester (27.9%). There were statistically significant differences of the report rate in setting up health education courses on myopia prevention and control, and the frequency of activities in different areas and different types of schools (χ2=19.53, 13.15, 34.30, 20.32, P<0.05). Conclusions Health education on school myopia prevention and control in primary and middle schools in Beijing is supportive. But health education courses taught by professional teachers should pay attention to the norms of the course material to complete a certain amount of class time, and development of health education activities should be diversified, so as to effectively implement health education of myopia prevention and control at school.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis and the factors that influence it in patients with non-gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) who are at low risk of recurrence.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Clinicopathologic and prognostic data from patients with non-gastric GISTs and at low risk of recurrence (i.e., very low-risk or low-risk according to the 2008 version of the Modified NIH Risk Classification), who attended 18 medical centers in China between January 2000 and June 2023, were collected. We excluded patients with a history of prior malignancy, concurrent primary malignancy, multiple GISTs, and those who had received preoperative imatinib. The study cohort comprised 1,571 patients with GISTs, 370 (23.6%) of whom were at very low-risk and 1,201 (76.4%) at low-risk of recurrence. The cohort included 799 (50.9%) men and 772 (49.1%) women of median age 57 (16–93) years. Patients were followed up to July 2024. The prognosis and its influencing factors were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curves for tumor diameter and Ki67 were established, and the sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC) and optimal cut-off value with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Propensity score matching was implemented using the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method with a matching tolerance of 0.02.Results:With a median follow-up of 63 (12–267) months, the 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates of the 1,571 patients were 99.5% and 98.0%, respectively, and the 5- and 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 96.3% and 94.4%, respectively. During postoperative follow-up, 3.8% (60/1,571) patients had disease recurrence or metastasis, comprising 0.8% (3/370) in the very low-risk group and 4.7% (57/1,201) in the low-risk group. In the low-risk group, recurrence or metastasis occurred in 5.5% (25/457) of patients with duodenal GISTs, 3.9% (25/645) of those with small intestinal GISTs, 9.2% (6/65) of those with rectal GISTs, and 10.0% (1/10) of those with colonic GISTs. Among the 60 patients with metastases, 56.7% (34/60) of the metastases were located in the abdominal cavity, 53.3% (32/60) in the liver, and 3.3% (2/60) in bone. During the follow-up period, 13 patients (0.8%) died of disease. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted for tumor diameter and Ki67 and assessed using the Jordon index. This showed that the difference in DFS between the two groups was statistically significant when the cutoff value for tumor diameter was 3.5 cm (AUC 0.731, 95% CI: 0.670–0.793, sensitivity 77.7%, specificity 64.1%). Furthermore, the difference in DFS between the two groups was statistically significant when the cutoff value for Ki67 was 5% (AUC 0.693, 95% CI: 0.624–0.762, sensitivity 60.7%, specificity 65.3%). Multifactorial analysis revealed that tumor diameter ≥3.5 cm, Ki67 ≥5%, and R1 resection were independent risk factors for DFS in patients with non-gastric GISTs at low risk of recurrence (all P<0.05). Furthermore, age >57 years, Ki67 ≥5%, and R1 resection were also independent risk factors for OS in patients with non-gastric GISTs at low risk of recurrence (all P<0.05). We also grouped the patients according to whether they had received postoperative adjuvant treatment with imatinib for 1 or 3 years. This yielded 137 patients in the less than 1-year group, 139 in the 1-year plus group; and 44 in both the less than 3 years and 3-years plus group. After propensity score matching for age, tumor diameter, Ki67, and resection status, the differences in survival between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The 10-year DFS and OS were 87.5% and 95.5%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for less than 1 year and 88.5% and 97.8%, respectively, in the group treated for more than 1 year. The 10-year DFS and OS were 89.6% and 92.6%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for less than 3 years and 88.0% and 100.0%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for more than 3 years. Conclusion:The overall prognosis of primary, non-gastric, low recurrence risk GISTs is relatively favorable; however, recurrences and metastases do occur. Age, tumor diameter, Ki67, and R1 resection may affect the prognosis. For some patients with low risk GISTs, administration of adjuvant therapy with imatinib for an appropriate duration may help prevent recurrence and improve survival.

Objective To explore the effect of melatonin(MT)-modified PEEK implant assisted by polydopamine(PDA)coating on osteointegration in osteoporotic rats.Methods MT was adhered to PEEK implants with PDA coating as carrier.The physicochemical properties of the materials were analyzed by SEM image,water contact angle,FTIR and protein adsorption experiment.OVX-rBMSCs were inoculated on the surface of PEEK sheet and cultured.The cytoskeleton was stained and cell adhesion morphology was observed.Cell proliferation activity was evaluated by CCK-8 assay;key enzyme activities for osteogenic differentiation were analyzed by ALP stai-ning,and expression levels of osteoblast-related genes COL-1,Runx2,OPN,OCN,BMP-2 and ALP were detected by quantitative real-time PCR.In addition,implants were implanted into the femur of osteoporotic rats and bone volume on the implant surface was de-tected and quantified by Micro-CT.Results MT was successfully loaded on PEEK;the cell adhesion was better,and the proliferation activity and osteogenic differentiation ability were significantly higher than those of control group(P＜0.01).In the rat osteoporosis mod-el,there was more new bone formation around the modified PEEK implant(P＜0.01).Conclusion MT-modified PEEK implants have excellent biocompatibility and improve osteointegration in an osteoporotic environment.
