Objective To explore the non-invasive diagnostic criteria of magnetocardiography (MCG) for coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD), and its value in dynamically assessing drug treatment for CMVD. Methods Patients who presented with chest tightness or chest pain at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from September 2024 to March 2025 were consecutively enrolled, and all of whom had non-obstructive coronary arteries on angiography. Using the coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) as the gold standard, patients were divided into a normal microcirculation group (caIMR≤40 U) and a CMVD group (caIMR>40 U). MCG testing was performed using a domestic device (MD-U041001, Mind Medical). Patients in the CMVD group received adenosine treatment and underwent repeat MCG after medication. Differences in MCG parameters between the two groups were analyzed, and a diagnostic model was established. The value of the diagnostic model was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results A total of 311 patients were included, with 135 in the normal microcirculation group and 176 in the CMVD group. The CMVD group had a significantly higher proportion of males (61.9% vs 47.4%, P=0.012), and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels ([1.16±0.31] mmol/L vs [1.24±0.29] mmol/L, P=0.029) than the normal group. Eleven MCG parameters showed significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05), among which increased values of mfm_QR_epav, mfm_RS_epmse, space_zeroRTrot, as well as decreased value of mfm_QR_v1 were independent predictors of CMVD. The diagnostic model based on these 11 MCG parameters yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.688 (95%CI 0.629-0.747). The integrated diagnostic model combining clinical risk factors (male, smoking history, HDL-C) with MCG parameters had an AUC of 0.701 (95%CI 0.643-0.759). After adenosine treatment, patients in the CMVD group showed significant decreases in mfm_QR_epav (P=0.010), mfm_RS_sad (P=0.013), and mfm_RS_epmse (P=0.046). Conclusions The model based on MCG parameters demonstrates good diagnostic ability for CMVD; dynamic changes in MCG parameters following adenosine intervention may serve as potential objective indicators for evaluating microcirculatory treatment efficacy.

[Objective]To investigate the potential value of thyroid hormones in cerebrospinal fluid in predicting autism-like behaviors induced by hypothyroidism in pregnant rats.[Methods]Twelve pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group and a hypothyroidism group(hypothyroidism model group).Offspring from both groups had serum and cerebrospinal fluid levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH),total triiodothyronine(TT3),total thyroxine(TT4),free triiodothyronine(FT3),and free thyroxine(FT4)levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.Ultrasonic vocalization tests were conducted on postnatal day 2(P2),day 7(P7),and day 14(P14),while behavioral tests using the three-box social interaction test were performed on day 21(P21).[Results]Compared with the control group,free T4(FT4)levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of the hypothyroidism group were significantly reduced during the developmental period(P0-P21;P2:P<0.05;P7:P<0.05;P14:P<0.01;P21:P<0.01),with no statistical difference between the two groups only at P0(P>0.05).In the ultrasonic vocalization(USV)tests,the number and duration of USVs in offsprings from the hypothyroidism group were significantly reduced compared with those of the control group on P2,P7 and P14:for USV counts(P2:P<0.05;P7:P<0.001;P14:P<0.01);for USV duration(P2:P<0.05;P7:P<0.001;P14:P<0.001).In the three-box social tests,offsprings of the hypothyroidism group showed significantly reduced sniffing time with unfamiliar rats at P21 compared to the control group(all P<0.001).The FT4 levels in cerebrospinal fluid had a significantly positive correlation with USV counts(P7:r=0.883,P<0.05;P14:r=0.902,P<0.05)and sniffing time with unfamiliar rats(r=0.814,P<0.01).[Conclusion]Measuring free T4 in cerebrospinal fluid can predict autism-like behaviors in offsprings of rats induced by hypothyroidism during pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)combined with resistance training on the performance of college students completing pull-ups,and explore the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of training intervention from the perspective of neuromuscular activity control.Methods A total of 25 male college student volunteers were randomly divided into the tDCS combined with resistance training group(experiment group)and resistance training group(control group).Twelve subjects in the control group received a lat pull-down strength training intervention lasting for 8 weeks,with 4 sets of 12 movement repetitions each,3 times per week.Thirteen subjects in the experimental group received a 20-minute tDCS before the lat pull-up resistance training intervention.Lat pull-down isometric maximal voluntary contraction(MVC)force,lat pull-down maximal repetitions under 80%one-repetition maximum(1RM)loading,and conventional pull-up exercise were tested before and after the training intervention.Surface electromyography(sEMG)signals of the main exertion muscles of the upper limb were recorded during the pull-up exercise test.Results After the training intervention,the number of pull-ups completed by the experimental group and control group increased by 1.74 times and 1.42 times,respectively.Subjects in both groups showed significant improvements in their MVC and lat pull-down maximal repetitions under 80%1RM loading.However,there were no statistical differences in these indicators between groups.Activation levels of the agonist muscles brachioradialis,posterior deltoid,and pectoralis major were significantly decreased after the training compared to those before training for both groups.In addition,the coactivation level of the antagonist triceps brachii muscle in the experimental group significantly decreased from 0.50±0.22 to 0.37±0.09 after the training,while there was no significant change in the control group before and after the intervention.Conclusions Eight-week tDCS combined with resistance training and resistance training alone can significantly improve the pull-up performance of college students,which may be related to the fact that both types of training can significantly improve the active muscle contraction capacity.Combined with resistance training,tDCS is more effective in decreasing the coactivation level of triceps brachii during pull-ups and increasing the contraction efficiency of elbow joint muscles.

Objective:To investigate the current practice of nasogastric tube care and the training needs among nurses in the emergency departments of tertiary hospitals in Beijing, to provide a basis for further standardizing nasogastric tube care practices.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select head nurses and nurses from the emergency departments of 47 tertiary hospitals in Beijing in June 2024. A self-designed questionnaire on the current practice of nasogastric tube care and training needs was administered to the participants.Results:A total of 47 emergency departments from tertiary hospitals in Beijing were surveyed, of which only 25 departments implemented nasogastric tube techniques. In the key practices of nasogastric tube care, nine hospitals met the overall implementation standards, while 16 hospitals had substandard implementation. The key practices with poor standardization included the frequency of changing the nasogastric tube dressing, blind insertion (spiral nasogastric tube) through the pylorus, the recommended temperature for enteral nutrition liquids, and the timing for flushing the nasogastric tube. There were statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) in the presence of specialized nasogastric tube care teams and the use of case discussions or workshops for department training between hospitals with good and poor implementation. Moreover, 89.5% (496/554) of the nurses indicated a need for training related to nasogastric tube maintenance, and 91.9% (509/554) expressed willingness to participate in technical training or seminars. Statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) were found between emergency specialized nurses and non-specialized nurses in terms of preferred training frequency, duration, format, and content (sharing of the latest research and advancements) . Conclusions:Nasogastric tube techniques have not been widely implemented in the emergency departments of tertiary hospitals in Beijing. The standardization of nasogastric tube care needs further improvement, and there is a significant demand for training among emergency nurses, indicating an urgent need for specialized nasogastric tube training programs.
