Objective To investigate the clinical value of myocardial contrast echocardiography(MCE)quantitative analysis in diagnosing myocardial microcirculation disorders in coronary artery disease and evalua-ting outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods Fifty patients diagnosed with severe stenosis of a single or more coronary arteries(stenosis rate of over 75%)through coronary CT angiography(CTA)or coronary angiography(CAG)from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the coronary heart dis-ease group.Thirty patients with coronary artery lesions complicated with myocardial infarction who under-went PCI treatment were selected as the post PCI group.Eighty patients with normal or only mild coronary artery stenosis(stenosis rate below 50%)were selected as the control group.All participants underwent MCE examination.Quantitative parameters,including peak intensity(A),upslope rate(β),time-to-peak(TTP),ar-ea under the curve(MCE-ACU),regional myocardial blood flow(MBF=A×β),and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),were analyzed using ROI software in both normal and lesion-supplied myocardial regions.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)was used to analyze the diagnostic value of various parameters of MCE for myocardial micro perfusion caused by coronary artery disease and myocardial perfusion after PCI.Re-sults Quantitative MCE parameters were significantly lower in the coronary heart disease group and post-PCI groups compared to the control group(P<0.05),with the post-PCI group showing the lowest values.Except for TTP,all parameters differed significantly between groups(P<0.05).Despite successful stent placement(TIMI grade 3 flow)in lesion vessels post-PCI,A,β,and MCE-ACU remained reduced in lesion-supplied re-gions compared to normal territories(P<0.05).The ROC curve showed that MCE parameters A,β,and MBF had independent diagnostic value for myocardial microcirculation disorders in coronary heart disease.The sensitivity and specificity of multi parameter combined diagnosis of myocardial microcirculation disorders in coronary heart disease were significantly improved,and MCE parameters were correlated with left ventricu-lar systolic function.Conclusion MCE quantitative analysis provides significant diagnostic value for myocardi-al microcirculation disorders in coronary artery disease patients and effectively evaluates PCI therapeutic effi-cacy and long-term prognosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of video-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence on perioperative adverse outcomes in preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， including cooperation in anesthesia induction， perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation during recovery. MethodsA total of 300 preschool children scheduled for general anesthesia in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly assigned to control group （n=150） and intervention group （n=150）. The control group received routine recovery care. For the intervention group， in addition to routine recovery care， a preoperative visit was scheduled one day before surgery. During this visit， mothers were guided to watch anesthesia videos with their children. During the waiting period in the operating room and 30 minutes after awakening， the mothers were guided to accompany the children for more than 30 minutes. Recovery conditions were recorded using the surgical anesthesia information system， and the children’s anesthetic induction compliance， perioperative anxiety， pain， and agitation were evaluated and recorded using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale （m-YPAS）， the Induction Compliance Scale （ICC）， the Children’s Pain Behavior Scale （FLACC）， and the Pediatric Agitation and Emergence Delirium Scale （PAED）. ResultsOn the preoperative visit day， there were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups （P > 0.05）. For perioperative anxiety， the m-YPAS scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （35.27±6.48 vs. 41.79±6.68， P < 0.05） and 30 minutes after postoperative recovery （20.13±7.05 vs. 35.75±9.51， P < 0.05）. In terms of anesthesia induction cooperation， the ICC scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （1.84±0.95 vs. 3.17±0.62， P < 0.05）， and the proportion of good induction cooperation was significantly higher than that of the control group （24.00% vs. 12.67%， P < 0.05）. There was no significant difference in awakening duration between the two groups， but the intervention group had a significantly shorter length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit than the control group （0.90±0.29 hours vs. 1.29±0.42 hours， P < 0.001）. For perioperative agitation， the PAED scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （entering in the operating room waiting area： 8.5 vs. 9.2， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 4.2 vs. 7.8， P < 0.05）. In terms of pain scores， the FLACC scores of the intervention group were also significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （ 5.3 vs. 6.7， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 2.1 vs. 4.9， P < 0.05）. ConclusionsVideo-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence reduces the perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation of preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， and improved the compliance of anesthesia induction. It is recommended to promote this intervention measure in clinical practice.

[Objective] To study the inter-allelic recombination event occurring in the HLA-B locus, and to evaluate the molecular genetic mechanisms of a novel HLA allele, predict and analyze the impact of its amino acid residue changes on the three-dimensional structure. [Methods] HLA typing was taken with polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP) by Luminex. Sequence-based typing (SBT) and gene clone were used to analyze exons 1-4 sequences of HLA-B allele. In order to determine the exact site of inter-allelic recombination event occurring in the HLA-B locus, sequences of the HLA-B alleles were compared with the IMGT/HLA database by the program “Alignment”. After homology modeling using the Swiss-Model software, the three-dimensional structure of the molecules was simulated using the Swiss Pdb Viewer software, and the FATCAT online software was used to compare the differences in the three-dimensional structures of the molecules. [Results] HLA typing indicated the PCR-SSOP pattern did not match with any known HLA-B alleles, suspected to be a new HLA allele. The genetic clone sequencing results showed HLA-B alleles of the proband were B^*13∶02 and a novel allele. The HLA-B exon2 nucleotide sequence of the novel allele was different from any other known alleles. The novel allele has 12 nucleotides replaced when compared with the closest matching B^*35∶01∶01∶01 allele from c.259 to c.299, which result in 8 amino acids changes. The sequence was identical in B^*35∶01∶01∶01 in exon 1, exon 3, exon 4, intron 1, intron 2, intron 3 and at c.74 to c.258 in exon 2, and c.259 to c.343 sequence in exon 2 was identical in B^*46∶01∶01 by blast search. The structure of the mutant alleles was similar to that of B^*35∶01∶01∶01 and B^*46∶01∶01, and the local hydrogen bonds of amino acids p.63-p.79 were changed at the recombination site. [Conclusion] This study demonstrates a rare inter-allelic recombination event occurring in the HLA-B locus. It has been officially designated as HLA-B^*35∶186 by WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. It illustrates the process of novel allele, and provides new evidence for the further studying mechanisms of gene recombination and HLA polymorphism.

Azvudine and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) are recommended for COVID-19 treatment in China, but their safety and efficacy in the elderly population are not fully known. In this multicenter, retrospective, cohort study, we identified 5131 elderly hospitalized COVID-19 patients from 32,864 COVID-19 patients admitted to nine hospitals in Henan Province, China, from December 5, 2022, to January 31, 2023. The primary outcome was all-cause death, and the secondary outcome was composite disease progression. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to control for confounding factors, including demographics, vaccination status, comorbidities, and laboratory tests. After 2:1 PSM, 1786 elderly patients receiving azvudine and 893 elderly patients receiving Paxlovid were included. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses revealed that compared with Paxlovid group, azvudine could significantly reduce the risk of all-cause death (log-rank P = 0.002; HR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.573-0.883, P = 0.002), but there was no difference in composite disease progression (log-rank P = 0.52; HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.877-1.260, P = 0.588). Four sensitivity analyses verified the robustness of above results. Subgroup analysis suggested that a greater benefit of azvudine over Paxlovid was observed in elderly patients with primary malignant tumors (P for interaction = 0.005, HR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.18-0.57) compared to patients without primary malignant tumors. Safety analysis revealed that azvudine treatment had a lower incidence of adverse events and higher lymphocyte levels than Paxlovid treatment. In conclusion, azvudine treatment is not inferior to Paxlovid treatment in terms of all-cause death, composite disease progression and adverse events in elderly hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of a small amount of leukocyte mixed in platelets on platelet RNA relat-ed study,and to further propose a method to remove leukocyte contamination.Methods The collected platelets were divid-ed into groups and then processed.1)Control group:Cells were collected by direct centrifugation;2)Centrifuge purifica-tion group:Centrifuge with different centrifugal forces to collect precipitated cells and recover suspended cells;3)Magnetic bead purification group:Remove CD45 positive leukocyte from platelets using magnetic bead method,and recover CD45 negative platelet cells.Total RNA was extracted from the cells,and cDNA was reverse transcribed from the extracted RNA.The fragments of housekeeping gene β-actin,platelet marker ITGA2B and leukocyte marker PTPRC were PCR amplified u-sing cDNA as a template.The results of the PCR amplification were used to determine the influence of leukocyte contamina-tion in platelet mRNA study and the effect of centrifugation purification and magnetic bead purification.Results PTPRC gene could be detected in cDNA from platelet cells obtained by direct centrifugation.PTPRC gene was also detected in cell segments collected from both precipitated and suspended cells after centrifugation under different conditions.But PTPRC was not detected in platelet after removal of CD45 positive cells by magnetic bead.Conclusion A small amount of leukocyte contamination in platelets can interfere with the mRNA study of platelets.The simple centrifugation could not remove the leukocyte contamination in platelets,but the magnetic bead had a better purification effect.

Objective To investigate the application and effectiveness of the 90°oblique lateral decubitus position in retroperi-toneal laparoscopic urological surgery,providing a clinical approach to effectively reduce the incidence of pressure injuries on the skin.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 60 urology patients who were admitted to the Department of Urology in our hospital from September to December 2023 for retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery.The patients were divided into a traditional group and a trial group based on the surgical position,with 30 patients per group.A conventional 90°lateral decubitus position during surgery was applied to the patients in control group,while a 90°oblique lateral decubitus position was offered to the patients in trial group.The two groups were compared in terms of the incidence rate of skin pressure injury,lumbar back pain on the healthy side within 24 hours after surgery and the score of satisfaction from the surgical team.After controlling for demographic variables using logistic regression analysis,the risk of intraoperative pressure injury occurrence in the two groups of patients was found to be related to the group type.The risk of occurrence in the control group was 6.22 times that of the trial group.Results The observation group demonstrated a significantly lower incidence rate of postoperative skin pressure injury,a significantly lower postoperative lumbar back pain on the healthy side within 24 hours,and a significantly higher score in the surgical team satisfaction compared with those of the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion In retroperitoneal laparoscopic urological surgery,the 90° oblique lateral decubitus position shows a superiority to the conventional lateral decubitus position in reducing the incidence rate of postoperative pressure injury and decreasing the lumbar back pain on the healthy side.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of team-based learning(TBL)combined with research-based learning(RBL)in enhancing evidence-based nursing practice skills of undergraduate nursing interns.Methods A total of 114 undergraduate nursing students who interned in the operating room of a ⅢA hospital in Guangzhou from July 2021 to April 2022 were selected as study subjects.A randomized cluster sampling method based on a random number table was used to divide the students into a control group and a trial group.The control group received traditional teaching methods,while the trial group was taught using a combination of TBL and RBL.The two groups were compared in terms of evidence-based practice skills,critical thinking abilities,and their evaluations on the teaching methods.Results The differences in evidence-based practice skills and critical thinking abilities before and after the internship were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group(t=35.108,35.897;both P<0.05).Additionally,post-internship evaluation scores for the teaching methods in the trial group were significantly higher than those in the control group(t=-17.580,P<0.05).Conclusion TBL combined with RBL effectively enhances the evidence-based nursing practice skills and critical thinking abilities of undergraduate nursing interns.This approach also improves students'evaluations on the teaching methods and fosters the cultivation of excellent clinical evidence-based nursing professionals.

Objective:To explore the clinical warning value of ischemic modified albumin (IMA) and IMA to human serum albumin (HSA) ratio (IMAR) in the development of pre-eclampsia (PE) and its severity.Methods:A total of 156 pregnant women with PE admitted to the Haidian District Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Beijing from April 2022 to March 2023 were collected as the PE group, and 156 healthy pregnant women with the same age and gestational age were matched as the control group. PE pregnant women were further divided into severe PE group (78 cases) and non-severe PE group (78 cases). Severe PE pregnant women were divided into emergency group (42 cases) and non-emergency group (36 cases) according to the disease progression time.All pregnant women were stratified according to their HSA levels (<30 g/L, 30-32 g/L, ≥32 g/L), and the peripheral blood IMA, HSA, and IMAR of pregnant women in different periods and subgroups were compared, and also the difference of IMA levels in umbilical artery blood. Bivariate correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between severe PE and IMA or IMAR, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to analyze the diagnostic value of IMA, HSA, and IMAR for PE and severe PE.Results:(1) The IMA level and IMAR in peripheral serum of pregnant women in the PE group at diagnosis, and the IMA level in umbilical artery blood at delivery, and peripheral serum at 2 days after delivery were higher than those in the control group. The HSA level in peripheral serum was lower than that in the control group at diagnosis, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). (2) The IMA level and IMAR in the peripheral serum of pregnant women with severe PE were higher than those in the non-severe PE group at diagnosis, while the HSA level were lower than those in the non-severe PE group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At diagnosis, the IMA level and IMAR in peripheral serum of pregnant women in the emergency group were higher than those in the non-emergency group, while the HSA level was lower than that in the non-emergency group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). When diagnosed, the peripheral serum IMA levels of pregnant women in the PE group were compared between subgroups with HSA<30 g/L, 30-32 g/L, ≥32 g/L, and there was no statistically significant difference ( F=0.366, P=0.694). However, the IMAR was compared between the three subgroups, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=28.544, P<0.001), which increased with the decrease of HSA levels. In the subgroup with HSA≥32 g/L, the peripheral serum IMA level and IMAR of pregnant women in the PE group were higher than those in the control group at diagnosis, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). (3) The severe PE manifestations positively correlated with peripheral serum IMAR at diagnosis include systolic blood pressure ( r=0.279), mean arterial pressure ( r=0.212), and urinary protein quantification ( r=0.277), while the severe PE manifestations negatively correlated include HSA levels ( r=-0.644) and newborn birth weight ( r=-0.305), all of which were significantly correlated ( P<0.05). (4) The area under curve (AUC) for IMAR diagnosis of PE was 0.875 (95% CI: 0.833-0.916), with the highest diagnostic efficiency at a cutoff value of 2.06, sensitivity of 72.5%, and specificity of 85.1%. The AUC for diagnosing severe PE was 0.871 (95% CI: 0.822-0.919), with the highest diagnostic efficacy at a cutoff value of 2.18, sensitivity of 72.3%, and specificity of 88.3%. The diagnostic efficacy of IMAR for PE and severe PE were higher than those of IMA and HSA levels. Conclusions:The level of IMA and IMAR in pregnant women with PE are higher than those in normal pregnant women. IMA and IMAR are correlated with the severity of PE, with IMAR changes occurring earlier and more significantly. IMAR could be considered as one of the evaluation indicators for the development of PE, or as a more sensitive PE severity warning indicator than HSA.
