Objective To investigate the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome elements and risk factors in patients with type Ⅱ cardio-renal syndrome(CRS).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 116 patients with type Ⅱ CRS.The distribution of TCM syndrome elements was analyzed,and the correlation between the syndrome elements and risk factors of gender,age,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,coronary heart disease,hypertension,diabetes,and anemia were evaluated.Results(1)The analysis of syndrome elements of 116 patients with type Ⅱ CRS showed that the main disease-location elements were heart(96 cases,82.76%),lung(89 cases,76.72%),kidney(81 cases,69.83%),spleen(71 cases,61.21%),and liver(25 cases,21.56%);the main disease-nature elements were qi deficiency(113 cases,97.41%),blood deficiency(96 cases,82.76%),yang deficiency(95 cases,81.89%),phlegm(94 cases,81.03%),yin deficiency(90 cases,77.59%),dampness(61 cases,52.59%),water retention(55 cases,47.41%),and blood stasis(47 cases,40.52%).(2)The analysis of age groups of 116 patients with type Ⅱ CRS showed that the majority of the patients were middle-aged and elderly individuals over 60 years old,and the age groups covered＜60 years old(4 cases,3.45%),61-70 years old(10 cases,8.62%),71-80 years old(28 cases,24.14%),81-90 years old(64 cases,55.17%),and>90 years old(10 cases,8.62%).(3)The analysis of gender of 116 patients with type Ⅱ CRS showed that 46 cases(39.66%)were male,and 70 cases(60.34%)were female,the female outnumbering the male.(4)The exploration of correlation between TCM syndrome elements and risk factors with Logistic regression analysis showed that blood deficiency was positively correlated with alcohol consumption,hypertension,and anemia(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),yang deficiency was positively correlated with anemia(P＜0.05),yin deficiency was positively correlated with smoking and diabetes(P＜0.05),dampness was positively correlated with smoking and anemia(P＜0.01),water retention was positively correlated with gender and protein abnormalities(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and blood stasis was positively correlated with hypertension(P＜0.05).Conclusion The illness of type Ⅱ CRS is located in the heart,involving the five organs,and is closely related to the lungs and kidneys.The general pathogenesis of type Ⅱ CRS is characterized by being deficiency of qi and yang in the root cause,and having the symptom manifestations of phlegm and blood stasis.In type Ⅱ CRS patients,men are more likely to suffer water retention,smokers are more likely to suffer yin deficiency and dampness,drinkers are more likely to suffer blood deficiency,individuals with hypertension are more likely to suffer blood deficiency and blood stasis,individuals with diabetes are more likely to suffer yin deficiency,individuals with anemia are more likely to suffer blood deficiency,yang deficiency and dampness,and individuals with protein abnormalities are more likely to suffer water retention.

Objective To apply a multidimensional neonatal nutritional risk screening scale for hospitalized premature infants to explore its predictive value for extrauterine growth restriction(EUGR)at the time of discharge.Methods A total of 104 premature infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2023 to September 2023 were selected as research subjects.Nutritional risk screening was conducted within 24 hours of admission and weekly thereafter using the multidimensional neonatal nutritional risk screening scale.Scoring was based on four dimensions(birth status,weight changes,nutritional intake methods,and disease diagnosis),with a total score of ≥ 8 indicating high risk;≥4 and＜8 indicating moderate risk;and＜4 indicating low risk.EUGR at the time of discharge was the primary clinical outcome indicator.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were constructed to explore the predictive value of neonatal nutritional risk screening for EUGR in premature infants.Results At discharge,40 premature infants(38.5％)experienced EUGR.The nutritional risk screening scores of the EUGR group on day 7 of hospitalization were higher than those of the non-EUGR group(P＜0.05).The rate of high nutritional risk on day 7 of hospitalization was highest(7.9％in the non-EUGR group,22％in the EUGR group,and 13.5％overall).On both day 1 and day 7 of hospitalization,the rate of high nutritional risk in the EUGR group was higher than that in the non-EUGR group(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the nutritional risk screening scores on day 7,birth weight Z-scores,discharge corrected gestational age weight Z-scores,and serum albumin levels between the EUGR and non-EUGR groups(P＜0.05).ROC curves were plotted,yielding AUCs of 0.625(95％CI 0.514,0.736),0.652(95％CI 0.544,0.760),0.674(95％CI 0.561,0.786),and 0.641(95％CI 0.531,0.750),indicating certain predictive value.A combined predictive ROC model yielded an AUC of 0.786(95％CI 0.692,0.880)for EUGR,which was higher than the AUCs for individual indicators(P＜0.001).Conclusion The occurrence of EUGR is relatively common among hospitalized premature infants.The nutritional risk is highest during the first week of hospitalization.The multidimensional neonatal nutritional risk screening scale can dynamically assess nutritional risk during hospitalization and may serve as one of the early warning indicators for EUGR in premature infants.The predictive efficacy for EUGR is enhanced when combined with birth weight Z-scores,discharge weight Z-scores,and serum albumin,providing a basis for individualized nutritional management of premature infants.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of a "pericardial lining" modified Bentall procedure for the treatment of patients with aortic root aneurysm. Methods This was a retrospective study that consecutively enrolled patients treated at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University, and the First People's Hospital of Guangyuan from January 2023 to February 2024. Preoperative clinical data, imaging findings (including echocardiography and CT scans of the aortic root and the entire aorta), details of coronary artery management, surgical outcomes, and postoperative follow-up results were collected. All patients underwent the "pericardial lining" modified Bentall procedure: the aortic valve was replaced, and an autologous pericardial patch was divided into three equal leaflets based on the circumference of the aortic annulus measured by a valve sizer. These leaflets were then sutured to the aortic annulus. Fenestrations were created in two of the pericardial leaflets for anastomosis with the left and right coronary ostia. The pericardial leaflets were sutured to the wall of the aortic sinuses to form an integrated structure, thereby narrowing the sinus portion. A prosthetic vascular graft was anastomosed to the proximal and distal aorta, and no aortic root-to-right atrium shunt was created. Results A total of 5 patients, aged 37 to 68 years, were included. The preoperative Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk scores ranged from 2.8% to 3.9%. The diameter of the ascending aorta was 40-73 mm, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was 45-71 mm, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 47%-64%. Intraoperatively, the aortic cross-clamp time ranged from 85 to 180 min, and the cardiopulmonary bypass time ranged from 110 to 302 min. Postoperative follow-up echocardiography revealed that the ascending aortic diameter was 27-35 mm, LVEDD was 39-57 mm, and LVEF was 43%-61%. All surgeries were completed successfully with satisfactory immediate outcomes and no intraoperative complications. During the follow-up period, there was no mortality or reoperation. Conclusion For patients with aortic root aneurysm, the "pericardial lining" modified Bentall procedure yields satisfactory preliminary results, and the technique is demonstrated to be feasible.

Objective:To analyze the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination on virus mutation.Methods:The whole genome sequencing sequences of 2 659 local SARS-CoV-2 specimens from Jiangsu Province in 2023 were selected for analysis, and relevant information such as demographic and clinical characteristics were collected, and the effects of infection and vaccination on the genome-wide mutation rate and S gene′s selective pressure of the virus were analyzed by univariate and multivariate linear regression models.Results:The average age of these infected patients was 55.0 (31.0, 74.0) years, 1 150 cases (43.2%) in the age group of ≥60 years, 1 367 cases (51.4%) were males, 2 044 cases (76.9%) had a history of COVID-19 vaccination, and 1 629 cases (61.3%) had the first-time infection. The clinical symptoms of the infected patients were mainly mild, with a total of 2434 cases (91.5%), and 29 cases (1.1%) with severe symptoms or more. The average substitution rate of SARS-CoV-2 was 9.69 (9.38, 9.98)×10 -4 subs/site/year, and the dN/dS value of the S gene was 6.08 (5.56, 8.66), which was significantly greater than that of 1 ( P<0.001), indicating positive selection. The result of univariate and multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that the SARS-CoV-2 substitution rate was higher in those with vaccination history and reinfection, aged 20-30 years, ≥60 years, and the SARS-CoV-2 substitution rate was lower in males with moderate clinical symptoms and severe disease and above. Those with a history of vaccination and reinfection, aged 50-60 years old, ≥60 years old have smaller S gene dN/dS. Conclusions:Under the immune pressure exerted by vaccination and infection, the genome-wide mutation of SARS-COV-2 accelerated, but the non-synonymous mutation rate of the S gene decreased. The mechanism causing these phenomena needs further study.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the lipid-lowering activity of LFBEP-C1 in high glucose-fed Caenorhabditis elegans(C.elegans). Methods In this study,the fermented barley protein LFBEP-C1 was prepared and tested for its potential anti-obesity effects on C.elegans.The worms were fed Escherichia coli OP50(E.coli OP50),glucose,and different concentrations of LFBEP-C1.Body size,lifespan,movement,triglyceride content,and gene expression were analyzed.The results were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison test. Results Compared with the model group,the head-swing frequency of C.elegans in the group of LFBEP-C1 at 20 μg/mL increased by 33.88%,and the body-bending frequency increased by 27.09%.This indicated that LFBEP-C1 improved the locomotive ability of C.elegans.The average lifespan of C.elegans reached 13.55 days,and the body length and width of the C.elegans decreased after LFBEP-C1 intake.Additionally,LFBEP-C1 reduced the content of lipid accumulation and triglyceride levels.The expression levels of sbp-1,daf-2,and mdt-15 significantly decreased,while those of daf-16,tph-1,mod-1,and ser-4 significantly increased after LFBEP-C1 intake.Changes in these genes explain the signaling pathways that regulate lipid metabolism. Conclusion LFBEP-C1 significantly reduced lipid deposition in C.elegans fed a high-glucose diet and alleviated the adverse effects of a high-glucose diet on the development,lifespan,and exercise behavior of C.elegans.In addition,LFBEP-C1 regulated lipid metabolism mainly by mediating the expression of genes in the sterol regulatory element-binding protein,insulin,and 5-hydroxytryptamine signaling pathways.
