Organophosphorus nerve agents are the most threatening chemical warfare agents and terrorist agents.The number of nerve agents and their related chemicals involved in the verification of Chemical Weapon Convention(CWC)exceeds ten million,with the majority being isomers.Accurate structural identification of these chemicals has always been one of the challenges in CWC related verification analysis.In this work,a total of 17 kinds of alkyl phosphonate isomers and structural analogs from 5 groups were designed and synthesized,and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)and gas chromatography-infrared spectroscopy(GC-FTIR).The spectra of isomers or structural analogs obtained from two techniques as well as the structural information provided therein were compared and analyzed.The results showed that for isomers or structural analogs with similar MS spectra,FTIR spectra could provided more structural fingerprint information of compounds and had advantages in confirming structures.Combined with the excellent separation ability of GC,GC-FTIR can be used to assist GC-MS in the structural confirmation of alkyl phosphates,achieving rapid and accurate identification of isomers or structural analogues.

The telomere structure in the cell nucleus is crucial for maintaining the stability and functions of chromosomes.Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein reverse transcriptase,which catalyzes the elongation of telomeres using its own RNA as a template,thereby counteracting the shortening of telomeres caused by chromosome replication and cell division.Due to its overexpression in over 85％of malignant tumor cells,telomerase has emerged as a highly promising biomarker and a novel target for cancer therapy.In recent years,given the importance of precise quantification of telomerase activity in guiding medical diagnosis and treatment strategies,researchers have developed various high-performance telomerase detection techniques.Among these,electrochemical biosensing technique has cause much attention due to its high sensitivity,operational convenience,rapid response,and ease of miniaturization.This paper focused on the latest advances in electrochemical sensing technique for detection of telomerase activity,aiming to provide inspiration for designing novel telomerase activity detection strategies by elucidating three unique properties of telomerase primer extension products.

A method for determination and targeted screening of diflorasone components in health products using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF/MS)was established.Four representative diflorasone and esters(diflorasone,diflorasone diacetate,diflorasone-17-propionate,and diflorasone-21-propionate)were selected to optimize the pretreatment conditions,and 10 mL of extraction solvent dosage,15 min of extraction time and 5 g of salting-out agent as the optimal conditions were selected by response surface methodology.The results showed that the four analytes exhibited good linearity within the concentration range of 2.0?100 μg/L with the chromatographic peak area,and the correlation coefficients(R2)were all greater than 0.9990,while the results of recovery and relative standard deviation could satisfy the requirements of determination.The common characteristic ions of diflorasone and esters werem/z121 andm/z335,and their specific structures were obtained by analyzing the cleavage pathway based on the optimized determination conditions.A targeted screening method for other esters of diflorasone based on characteristic ions guidance strategy was established.This method had many advantages such as high efficiency,high sensitivity and good reproducibility,and could be used for targeted screening of diflorasone and esters in health products.The developed characteristic ion guided strategy could be employed to construct mass spectral databases for various glucocorticoids,enabling comprehensive targeted screening across a broad range of compounds.

Nitrofurazone(NFZ)is an antibiotic that is used as a veterinary drug in aquaculture.NFZ abuse can lead to a series of environmental and health issues,making it crucial to establish a rapid and highly sensitive method for NFZ detection.In this study,platinum nanoparticle(PtNPs)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework(ZIF-8)was used as a precursor,and PtNPs functionalized nitrogen doped porous carbon(NC)was obtained through pyrolysis.Pt@NC was combined with multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs)and cast onto a glassy carbon electrode(GCE)surface to construct an electroch-emical sensor.Electrochemical tests revealed that Pt@NC/WCNT/GCE exhibited an electrochemical active area of 0.066 cm2 and a heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant(k0)of 2.03×10-3 cm/s,which were higher than other materials.Compared with the electrodes modified by other materials,the NFZ generated the highest peak current of irreversible reduction peak on the Pt@NC/WCNT/GCE electrode.In comparison with Pt@ZIF-8/WCNT/GCE,after pyrolysis and carbonization treatment,the reduction current of NFZ increased by 2.19 times,and the reduction peak potential shifted positively by 19 mV simultaneously.When compared with NC/WCNT/GCE,the PtNPs in the composite material enhanced the NFZ current by 4.25 times.Additionally,the experimental conditions for detecting NFZ using the sensor were optimized,including the carbonization temperature of Pt@ZIF-8,ratio of Pt@NC to CNT,loading amount of the modified material,and electrolyte pH.Under the optimized conditions,the sensor demonstrated a linear detection range for NFZ of 0.20-240 μmol/L,a sensitivity of 9.995 μA/((μmol/L)?cm2)and a limit of detection(LOD)of 0.06 μmol/L.The sensor exhibited excellent anti-interference capability,good reproducibility,and stability,with spiked recoveries for NFZ in water samples ranging from 94.6%to 105.6%.This study provided a novel electrochemical sensing approach for NFZ detection.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of hospital-acquired pulmonary embolism(HA-PE) and identify the risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was used. The clinical and follow-up data were collected of 60 patients with primary diseases who were admitted to the General Surgery Ward of Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2021. These patients were planned for surgical treatment and were diagnosed with HA-PE during their hospitalization. A total of 60 patients were included in the study, comprising 18 males and 42 females.The age was (69.7±10.9)years, ranging from 45 to 91 years. Baseline clinical parameters were collected and recorded. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and count data were expressed as examples and percentages(%). Univariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen out the risk factors related to in-hospital PE mortality, and multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors related to death of HA-PE patients. Results:Fourteen patients did not undergo surgery for primary disease due to HA-PE, the time from admission to HA-PE diagnosis was 7.0(4.0, 10.0) days. 20 patients were underwent implantation of an inferior vena cava filter, all filters used were retrievable. Successful removal of filters was achieved in 10 patients, the duration of filter placement was recorded as (19.6±3.4) days. All patients had high-risk sPESI scores, and 6 patients died from HA-PE during their hospitalization period. Multivariate analysis revealed that symptoms such as chest tightness and dyspnea ( OR=1.83, 95% CI: 1.45-10.15, P=0.039); Elevated TNI levels( OR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.46-7.78, P=0.036) and severe thrombocytopenia ( OR=3.6, 95% CI: 2.46-6.06, P=0.009) were independently correlated with in-hospital PE mortality. Conclusions:The in-hospital mortality rate of HA-PE patients is comparable to primary pulmonary embolism. Following standardized treatment, both the recurrence and mortality rates of pulmonary embolism within one year are significantly reduced. Notably, chest tightness and dyspnea, elevated TNI levels, and severe thrombocytopenia are independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in HA-PE patients.

Objective:To evaluate the perioperative application effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) clinical pathway in percutaneous vertebro plasty (PVP).Methods:The clinical data of 274 patients who underwent PVP treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2023 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the different numbers of surgical segments: the single-segment group ( n=211) and the multisegment group ( n=63). Patients in the single-segment group underwent single-segment surgery, while patients in the multisegment group underwent surgery on ≥2 segments. The core points of the ERAS clinical pathway adopted in this study include perioperative education, pain management, early mobilization, application of "outfast", and joint guidance from the departments of nutrition and rehabilitation. Comparison was made between the two groups of patients in terms of visual analog scale (VAS) scores for low back pain at preoperative, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h postoperatively, and on the day of discharge; Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores preoperatively and on the day of discharge; time to first ambulation postoperatively, total length of hospital stay, postoperative length of stay, perioperative complications, and perioperative application of Opioid consumption. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups; count data were expressed as cases and percentage, and the Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. The VAS pain scores at each stage of the perioperative period were evaluated using repeated measures analysis of variance or generalized estimating equations. Results:Compared with that before the operation [(6.17±0.93) points, (6.29±0.83) points], the VAS scores of low back pain of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group at 2 hours after surgery [(3.09±0.82) points, (3.27±0.65) points], 6 hours after surgery [(2.60±0.79) points, (2.62±0.55) points], and 24 hours after surgery [(1.89±0.77) points, (1.97±0.72) points] and on the day of discharge [(1.72±0.71) points, (1.81±0.64) points] were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same stage, the VAS scores of low back pain in both groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The ODI scores of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group on the day of discharge [(24.21±2.35) points, (24.63±3.31) points] were significantly lower than those before the operation [(64.50±4.81) points, (65.52±4.08) points], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in perioperative complications and the proportion of Opioid drug application between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients with single-segment or multisegment OVCF, PVP surgical treatment under ERAS clinical pathway management can achieve immediate pain relief, early ambulation exercise, and satisfactory perioperative efficacy.

In the past, aortic dissection, aortic aneurysm, and other aortic diseases, primarily rely on surgical intervention. In recent years, due to breakthroughs in materials science, endovascular therapy has become the first choice for the surgical treatment of most aortic diseases. However, traditional endovascular repair cannot fully meet the clinical needs for certain complex lesions involving the aortic arch and the originations of visceral arteries. The emergence of physician-modified stent technology has brought new hope for the treatment of complex aortic diseases. This article provides a detailed introduction to the concept, development, technical characteristics, and applications of physician-modified stents in the treatment of aortic diseases, analyzing their advantages and limitations. Physician-modified stents serve as a powerful complement to traditional endovascular interventions and commercial branched stents, yet further research and refinement are still required.

Objective:To evaluate preoperative malnutrition risk in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) based on mini nutritional assessment short form (MNA-SF) and analyze the related clinical risk factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted using clinical data from 129 OVCF patients who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, between May 2023 and December 2023. The cohort included 26 males and 103 females, aged (74.71±9.13) years(ranging from 48-98 years). According to MNA-SF scoring method, they were divided into three groups, the malnutrition group ( n=6), the nutritional risk group ( n=40), and the good nutrition group ( n=83). Nutritional risk and malnutrition rates were evaluated using the MNA-SF score. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s) and compared using one-way ANOVA. The comparison between groups of count data was conducted using chi-square test. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify independent risk factors for malnutrition and nutritional risk. Results:According to the MNA-SF score, among 129 patients, the malnutrition rate was 4.7%, the nutritional risk rate was 31.0%, and 64.3% exhibited adequate nutrition based on MNA-SF scores. The results of one-way ANOVA showed that gender ( P=0.023) and BMI ( P<0.001) were significantly correlated with malnutrition and nutritional risk; Logistic regression analysis suggested that the influencing factors of nutritional risk included gender ( P=0.002) and BMI ( P<0.001), while the only dangerous factor of malnutrition was BMI ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Bsed on MNA-SF, OVCF patients undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty have a higher incidence of malnutrition and nutritional risk. The risk factors for nutritional risk in patients are gender and BMI, while the risk factor for malnutrition is only BMI.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of cement leakage into the spinal canal in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for spinal metastases.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the case data of 211 patients with spinal metastases who underwent PVP in the Department of Orthopaedics, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to June 2024. According to the presence or absence of intraspinal bone cement leakage after surgery, the patients were divided into the leakage group ( n=45) and the non-leakage group ( n=166). The clinical data of the two groups, including gender, age, bone mineral density T-score, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, operation time, and bone cement injection volume, were collected and statistically analyzed. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the independent samples t-test was used for comparison between groups; count data were expressed as the number of cases and percentage, and the Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Univariate analysis was used to explore the possible risk factors for intraspinal bone cement leakage after PVP, and then the indicators with statistically significant differences in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify the independent risk factors. Results:A total of 45 patients out of 211 patients with PVP surgery had cement leakage into the spinal canal after surgery, with an incidence rate of 21.3%. There were statistically significant differences between the leakage group and the non-leakage group in terms of whether the posterior wall of the vertebral body was broken, operation time, the injection volume of bone cement, distribution of injured vertebrae, and viscosity of bone cement ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the broken posterior wall of the vertebral body, large injection volume of bone cement, and low viscosity of bone cement were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of cement leakage into the spinal canal in PVP for spinal metastases ( P<0.05). Conclusion:When PVP surgery is used to treat spinal metastases, broken posterior wall of the vertebral body, large injection volume of bone cement, and low viscosity of bone cement can increase the incidence of postoperative intravertebral cement leakage, and the operation should be performed with caution.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy (Rotarex) combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) combined with DCB in the treatment of femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis (ISR).Methods:A multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted. 46 patients with femoropopliteal artery ISR admitted to five hospitals (Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University; Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University; Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University; Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University; Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University) from July 2020 to June 2024 were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into the Rotarex+ DCB group ( n=24) and the PTA+ DCB group ( n=22) using a random number table. The clinical data of the two groups were collected, including clinical characteristics, Fontaine classification, stent placement location, stent duration, and lesion length. The primary endpoint was the target blood vessel patency rate at 6 and 12 months postoperatively; the secondary endpoints included improvement in clinical symptoms (Fontaine classification), rate of reintervention, and safety indicators. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the t-test was used for comparison between groups; count data were expressed as the number of cases and percentages, and intergroup comparisons were performed using the Chi-test or Fisher exact probability method. Results:At 12 months postoperatively, the target blood vessel patency rate in the Rotarex+ DCB group was significantly higher than that in the PTA+ DCB group (81.8% vs 45.5%, P=0.012), and the proportion of patients in Fontaine classification stage I was also higher (86.4% vs 45.5%, P=0.004). The results at the 6-month follow-up were consistent (target blood vessel patency rate: 87.0% vs 59.1%, P=0.035). In terms of safety, no severe complications such as arterial rupture, amputation, or procedure-related death occurred during the perioperative period in either group. During the postoperative follow-up, no amputation or procedure-related deaths occurred in either group. Conclusion:For the treatment of femoropopliteal artery ISR, Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy combined with DCB is significantly superior to PTA+ DCB in terms of 12-month target blood vessel patency rate and improvement of clinical symptoms, with comparable safety.
