Objective To analyze the incidence rate and risk factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 392 patients with COPD in the hospital were selected from December 2020 to December 2024. Patients' data (medical history, echocardiographic data, etc.) were recorded. The incidence rate of AF in patients was recorded and the patients were grouped according to whether or not they developed AF. The differences were compared between the two groups, and the risk factors of AF occurrence in elderly patients with COPD were analyzed. Results Among the 392 patients with COPD, 127 cases (32.40%) met the diagnostic criteria of AF. There were statistically significant differences in age, pulmonary infection, heart failure, diabetes, smoking history, disease duration, LAD, severe renal insufficiency and coronary heart disease between the AF group and the non-AF group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that age, pulmonary infection, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, smoking history, disease course, LAD, severe renal insufficiency and coronary heart disease were all risk factors for elderly patients with COPD (OR=1.129, 4.246, 3.955, 4.125, 2.038, 1.112, 1.102, 4.397, and 3.865, P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate of AF is high in elderly patients with COPD. Age, pulmonary infection, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, smoking history, course of disease, LAD, severe renal insufficiency, and coronary heart disease are all risk factors for AF.

Granulation tissue hyperplasia after tracheotomy is a common clinical complication. Endoscopic treatment can temporarily relieve airway obstruction， however， it is associated with a high recurrence rate and poor long-term prognosis. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） Kenang （窠囊） theory and combined with modern pathological mechanisms， this paper explores its correlation with the pathogenesis of post-tracheotomy granulation tissue hyperplasia. Drawing from clinical experience in applying the Kenang theory for treatment， this paper proposes that the fundamental pathogenesis of this condition lies in qi deficiency and organ dysfunction， while phlegm and blood stasis interlocking serve as the symptomatic manifestations. The treatment focuses on resolving phlegm and promoting blood circulation， dispersing nodules and eliminating stagnation， regulating qi flow， and reinforcing the body's vital energy while expelling pathogenic factors. This approach aims to dissolve phlegm and blood stasis， dissipate the Kenang， and ultimately prevent and treat granulation tissue hyperplasia.

Objective To investigate the decolorization performance and key influencing factors of a novel low temperature plasma(LTP)on crystal violet(CV)simulated wastewater.Methods In this experiment,CV was used as the target pollutant and treated with LTP generated by argon atmospheric pressure plasma jet;the absorbance(A590)and chemical oxygen demand(COD)of CV solution were systematically evaluated before and after LTP treatment by adjusting the treatment volume,initial pH value,NaCl concentration,addition of Fe 2+and other parameters.The dynamic changes of active particles in the liquid were monitored.Results Compared with those of the control group,the A590 and COD values of LTP treatment groups were significantly reduced(P＜0.05).At the treatment time of 180 s,the decolorization rate and COD removal rate of CV solution reached 62.34％and 50.22％,respectively.Under the same treatment time(＞90 s),the A590 values in the 0.1 mol/L NaCl group,pH=9 or 11 group,and Fe2+group were lower than those in LTP-only treatment group,but the A590 values in the n-butanol group were higher(P＜0.05).The A590 values in 2 mL or 3 mL group were higher than those in 1 mL group(P＜0.05).Compared with CV solution treated with LTP,the H2O2 content in the activated water was higher while the NO3content was significantly lower than those in CV solutions(P＜0.05).Conclusion LTP has an efficient decolorization ability for CV solution.The decolorization of CV solution could be promoted by NaCl addition,Fe2+inclusion or high pH values,but was inhibited by the increase in treatment volume or the addition of n-butanol.The?OH and H2O2 generated by LTP played a key role in the decolorization process.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of a calcium silicate-based bioactive ceramic iRoot BP Plus? pulpotomy of immature permanent teeth with complicated crown fracture and to evaluate the factors influencing its long-term success rate.Methods:The digital medical records of patients under 13 years old who had undergone iRoot BP Plus? pulpotomy in the Department of Oral Emergency or the First Clinical Division,Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from March 2017 to September 2022 due to complicated crown fracture of anterior teeth,and had taken at least one post-operation apical radiograph were reviewed.The clinical and radiographic information at the initial examination and follow-up period were obtained,including crown color,mobility,percussion,cold test(partial pulpotomy teeth),dental restoration,fistula,swelling or inflammation of the gingival tissue,the formation of apical foramen,pathologic radiolucency and calcification of pulp chamber or root canal obliteration.Data were tested by Fisher exact test and a multiple comparison.Results:In the study,64 patients including 37 males(57.8％)and 27 females(42.2％)with a mean age of 9.1 years were finally enrolled.The total number of permanent teeth that received pulpotomy was 75,and the average follow-up time was 19.3 months.The success rate was 93.1％with the time interval between dental injury and treatment in 24 h,while the success rate dropped to 88.2％with the time intervals beyond 24 h.The time intervals did not significantly affect the pulp survival rate(P=0.61)after pulpotomy(partial or co-ronal).The success rate 6 months after pulpotomy was 96.0％,and one-year success rate was 94.7％.A total of 23 cases were reviewed for more than 2 years after pulpotomy,and 6 cases failed.The mobility had no significant effect on the success rate(P=0.28).Pulp chamber calcification and pulp canal obli-teration were not observed in all the post-operative radiographs.Conclusion:The one year clinical and radiographic success rates obtained in this study indicate that iRoot BP Plus? is an appropriate pulp cap-ping material option for pulpotomy treatment of complicated crown fracture in immature permanent teeth without displacement injuries.This technique has broad promotional value.

Objective We investigated the effects of ICAM5 in the hippocampus on the alcohol drinking preference of mice,and the potential mechanisms.Methods An alcohol two-bottle choice model was developed in 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice,which were randomly divided to two groups:water group and alcohol group.The protein expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus,amygdala,and medial prefrontal cortex was detected.An ICAM5-overexpressing adeno-associated virus was constructed and injected into the hippocampus by stereotaxic method.The expression level of ICAM5 protein in the hippocampus was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.We then detected the alcohol preference and locomotor activity of mice with a conditioned place preference(CPP)experiment,open field test,and loss-of-righting reflex test.Western blot analysis was used to identify the neuron F-actin/G-actin ratio.Using Golgi staining,the morphology of dendritic spines was identified.Results The expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus of alcohol two-bottle choice model mice in the alcohol group was considerably lower than that of the water group(P＜0.001).The specific expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus of mice was observed by fluorescence microscopy.In the open field experiment,the staying time and moving distance of the AAV-ICAM5 group were significantly increased compared with those of the control group(P＜0.01).In the CPP experiment,the residence time of AAV-ICAM5 mice in the alcohol-paired compartment was significantly lower than that of control mice(P＜0.001).In the loss-of-righting reflex experiment,overexpression of ICAM5 significantly reduced sedation latency(P＜0.01),but significantly shortened the duration of sedation(P＜0.001).Compared with AAV-mCherry+Water group,the ratio of F-actin/G-actin in the hippocampus was significantly increased after drinking(P＜0.01),but after ICAM5 overexpression,their F-actin/G-actin ratio was significantly decreased(P＜0.001).Compared with AAV-mCherry+Water group,the density of dendritic spines in the hippocampal CAI region was increased(P＜0.001),but the density of dendritic spines in the AAV-ICAM5+Alcohol group was significantly decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusions ICAM5 modulated the expression of cytoskeleton proteins to change the structural plasticity of dendritic spines,which contributed to alcohol-drinking and locomotor behavioral changes in mice.
