BackgroundAs a high prevalence disorder, schizophrenia has caused significant burden to family and society due to the impairment of occupational and social function. Currently, the dominant vocational training model in China follows a paternalistic, clinician-led decision-making approach. Although it improves patients' social function to some extent, it undermines their autonomy and treatment adherence. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to explore a new intervention method to enhance treatment compliance and social function in patients. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of shared decision-making oriented vocational training on social function in hospitalized schizophrenia patients, so as to provide references for rehabilitation interventions. MethodsA total of 68 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia according to the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) criteria were consecutively enrolled from January to June 2024 at The Third People's Hospital of Wenjiang Distric, Chengdu. Participants were randomly allocated into the research group (n=34) and the control group (n=34) using a random number table method. Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, while the research group received shared decision-making oriented vocational training for 12 weeks, 2 times a week for 2 hours each time. Before and at the 4th and 12th week of intervention, two groups were evaluated by General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Stigma Scale for Mental Illness (SSMI), Scale of Social function of Psychosis Inpatients (SSFPI) and Inpatient Psychiatric Rehabilitation Outcome Scale (IPROS). ResultsA total of 63 participants completed the study, with 30 cases in the research group and 33 cases in the control group. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed statistically significant time effects and interaction effects in both groups for GSES, SSMI, SSFPI and IPROS scores (F=20.451, 16.022; 26.193, 12.944; 23.957, 5.023; 11.776, 3.985, P<0.05 or 0.01), while no significant group effects were observed (F=0.188, 0.742, 1.878, 0.474, P>0.05). At the 12th week of intervention, there were statistically significant differences in GSES, SSMI, SSFPI and IPROS scores between the two groups. ConclusionShared decision-making oriented vocational training may help to improve social function in patients with schizophrenia. [Funded by 2023 Chengdu Medical Research Project (number, 2023468)]

Objective To explore the influencing factors of coronary artery lesion severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Clinical data of ACS patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2017 to December 2019 were consecutively collected. The modified Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesions. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent factors associated with coronary artery lesion severity. Results A total of 1 689 ACS patients were included, with an average age of (64.04±11.45) years; 1 353 (80.11%) were male, and the mean modified Gensini score was (8.12±4.03). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that sex (β=0.97, P=0.001), age (β=0.03, P=0.021), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; β=-0.03, P<0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; β=0.58, P<0.001), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1; β=-1.28, P=0.012), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a); β=0.001, P=0.033], and glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C; β=0.45, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors of the modified Gensini score. Conclusions Metabolic indicators, including Apo A1, LDL-C, HbA1C, and Lp(a), may serve as risk factors for coronary artery lesion severity in ACS patients, with Apo A1 demonstrating the strongest impact.

Background::Risk assessment and treatment stratification for three-vessel coronary disease (TVD) remain challenging. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of left atrial volume index (LAVI) with the Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score II, and its association with the long-term prognosis after three strategies (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI], coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], and medical therapy [MT]) in patients with TVD.Methods::This study was a post hoc analysis of a large, prospective cohort of patients with TVD in China, that aimed to determine the long-term outcomes after PCI, CABG, or optimal MT alone. A total of 8943 patients with TVD were consecutively enrolled between 2004 and 2011 at Fuwai Hospital. A total of 7818 patients with available baseline LAVI data were included in the study. Baseline, procedural, and follow-up data were collected. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), which was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke. Secondary endpoints included all-cause death, cardiac death, MI, revascularization, and stroke. Long-term outcomes were evaluated among LAVI quartile groups. Results::During a median follow-up of 6.6 years, a higher LAVI was strongly associated with increased risk of MACCE (Q3: hazard ratio [HR] 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.37, P = 0.005; Q4: HR 1.85, 95%CI 1.64-2.09, P <0.001), all-cause death (Q3: HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.17-1.69, P <0.001; Q4: HR 2.54, 95%CI 2.16-3.00, P <0.001), and cardiac death (Q3: HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.39-2.37, P <0.001; Q4: HR 3.47, 95%CI 2.71-4.43, P <0.001). Moreover, LAVI significantly improved discrimination and reclassification of the SYNTAX score II. Notably, there was a significant interaction between LAVI quartiles and treatment strategies for MACCE. CABG was associated with lower risk of MACCE than MT alone, regardless of LAVI quartiles. Among patients in the fourth quartile, PCI was associated with significantly increased risk of cardiac death compared with CABG (HR: 5.25, 95% CI: 1.97-14.03, P = 0.001). Conclusions::LAVI is a potential index for risk stratification and therapeutic decision-making in patients with three-vessel coronary disease. CABG is associated with improved long-term outcomes compared with MT alone, regardless of LAVI quartiles. When LAVI is severely elevated, PCI is associated with higher risk of cardiac death than CABG.

Aim To explore the effects of sirolimus on the growth and development of motor,vascular,nerv-ous,and immune systems through zebrafish models.Methods After 3 hours of fertilization of zebrafish embryos,different concentrations of sirolimus were add-ed to the growth environment,and the growth and de-velopment of the embryos was recorded.Transgenic ze-brafish models labeled with blood vessels,nerves or im-mune cells were used to compare the drug effects on the growth and development of those systems.Results At the concentration of 0.5 μmol·L-1,the hatching rate and the body length(P<0.01)were significantly smaller than those of the control group,and movement was also significantly slowed down.Meanwhile,the length of axons of the nervous system,the development of intersegmental vessels,and the growth of immune cells were significantly delayed by drug treatment.But when the concentration was below 0.1 μmol·L-1,there was no statistically difference between the control group and the sirolimus group.Conclusions When the concentration of sirolimus exceeds a certain level,it can significantly slow down the growth and development of movement,blood vessels,nervous system and im-mune system of zebrafish.Therefore,in clinical prac-tice,it is important to monitor the blood concentration of sirolimus in children on time.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of early predictive intervention based on the LACEinde (LACE) in aged patients undergoing surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) .Methods:Totally 116 aged NSCLC patients who underwent surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2021 to March 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. They were randomly divided into a control group and a study group, with 58 patients in each. Patients in the control group received routine care, while patients in the study group underwent early predictive intervention based on LACE in addition to the routine care. Respiratory function, cancer-related fatigue, quality of life, and prognosis of patients in both groups were assessed before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the study group showed significantly higher values in vital capacity (VC) and forced vital capacity (FVC) compared to the control group ( P<0.01). The Piper Fatigue Scores (PFS) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer 13 (QLQ-LC13) scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group after the intervention ( P<0.01). The rates of unplanned readmission and total complications in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Early predictive intervention based on LACE can reduce the rate of unplanned readmissions and complications, improve respiratory function, reduce cancer-related fatigue, and enhance the quality of life in aged NSCLC patients post-surgery.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) level with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to explore its predictive value.Methods:It was a case-control study. Clinical data of 731 patients with CCS who underwent PCI in the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between May 2019 and April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline clinical characteristics and pre/postoperative laboratory results were gathered, and patients were followed up and the incidence of MACE was documented. The correlation of serum hs-cTnT levels with MACE was analyzed, and the threshold of hs-cTnT for predicting the occurrence of MACE was determined.Results:Among 731 patients there were 560 males (76.61%) with the age of (64.05±9.48) years. Patients were followed up for 29.9 (18.8, 35.3) months, and MACE occurred in 216 cases (MACE group), and did not occur in 515 cases (control group). The X-tile software analysis showed that the optimal cutoff value of post-PCI hs-cTnT was 4.17×upper reference limit (URL) for predicting MACE ( P=0.033). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that postoperative cTnT>6×URL was an independent risk factor for MACE in CCS patients after PCI ( HR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.19-2.94, P=0.007). The net reclassification index pairwise comparison results indicated that hs-cTnT>6×URL had the better predictive performance for MACE in CCS patients after PCI compared to 7×URL, 8×URL, 9×URL, 10×URL and 15×URL (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Postoperative hs-cTnT>6×URL is an independent risk factor for MACE in CCS patients after PCI, and hs-cTnT>6×URL is the optimal threshold for predicting the risk of MACE.
