Objective:To explore the impact of diabetes mellitus on perioperative myocardial injury and cardiac function recovery in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods:The clinical data of 40 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent off-pump CABG in Changsha Central Hospital from 2015 to 2025 were retrospectively included. They were divided into the diabetes group (20 cases) and the control group (20 cases) according to whether they had type 2 diabetes mellitus. Myocardial injury markers (creatine kinase isoenzyme, troponin I, lactate dehydrogenase) before surgery, on the 1st and 3rd days after surgery and before discharge, as well as cardiac function indicators (B-type natriuretic peptide, left ventricular ejection fraction) before surgery and before discharge were compared between the two groups. The postoperative recovery speed (mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit stay, vasoactive drug use time, postoperative hospital stay) was also compared between the two groups.Results:Before surgery, there were no statistically significant differences in myocardial injury markers and cardiac function indicators between the two groups (all P>0.05). On the 3rd day after surgery, lactate dehydrogenase in the diabetes group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences in creatine kinase isoenzyme and troponin I between the two groups (all P>0.05). Before discharge, the levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme and B-type natriuretic peptide in the diabetes group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the diabetes group had significantly longer mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit stay, and postoperative hospital stay (all P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the use time of vasoactive drugs ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For patients with coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus, their preoperative cardiac status is comparable to that of patients without diabetes mellitus, but they show a characteristic dynamic injury pattern after surgery: early elevation of lactate dehydrogenase suggests susceptibility to subcellular injury, and long-term abnormalities of creatine kinase isoenzyme, B-type natriuretic peptide, and decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction indicate myocardial repair disorders. Compared with patients without diabetes mellitus, those with diabetes mellitus require a longer recovery time after off-pump CABG, and targeted perioperative management strategies are urgently needed.

Objective:To observe the effectiveness of using cases in seminars to teach neuroelectrophysiology in rehabilitation medicine.Methods:Sixty participants in the " Hubei Province Rehabilitation Shortage Talent Training Program" were divided into an experimental group ( n=30) and a control group ( n=30). During a ninety-minute " Neuroelectrophysiological Technology" training course, the experimental group was taught in a seminar using the case study method (SCL training) while the control group was taught using traditional lecture-based learning (LBL). All then took a theory test and a case analysis test and completed a survey of teaching satisfaction. Results:The average score of the SCL group on the theory and case analysis tests were significantly higher than those of the LBL group. The teaching satisfaction survey showed that the SCL group exhibited greater interest and motivation, better communication, teamwork and clinical thinking. They were generally more satisfied with their teaching method compared to the LBL group.Conclusions:The SCL method can effectively improve the learning and satisfaction of neuroelectrophysiology students. It helps to mobilize learning enthusiasm, cultivate clinical thinking ability, and deepen the memory of knowledge points. It is an effective method in teaching rehabilitation medicine.

Objective To explore the association between green space and the risk of dyslipidemia. Methods ^“Dyslipidemia^” and ^“ Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)^” were used as search terms to search PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies up to September 2023. ARHQ statistical assessment and review tool and NOS scale were employed to evaluate the quality of the studies. R 4.3.1 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 11 studies were included, of which 5 cross-sectional studies and 5 cohort studies were rated as ^“high quality^”. The results of meta-analysis showed that an increase in NDVI in some buffer zones was associated with reduced risks of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C, while an increase in NDVI in 100m buffer zone was significantly associated with reduced risks of all these four diseases, with hypercholesterolemia (OR=0.87, P<0.05), hypertriglyceridemia (OR=0.94, P<0.05), low HDL-C (OR=0.95, P<0.05), and high LDL-C (OR=0.87, P<0.05). Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results of most meta-analyses were robust. Conclusion With the increase in green space near residential areas, the risk of dyslipidemia may decrease.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of limited internal fixation combined with a hinged external fixator in the treatment of peri-elbow bone infection. METHODS: The clinical data of 19 patients with peri-elbow bone infection treated with limited internal fixation combined with a hinged external fixator between May 2018 and May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 4 females with an average age of 44.6 years (range, 28-61 years). There were 13 cases of distal humerus fractures and 6 cases of proximal ulna fractures. All the 19 cases were infected after internal fixation of fracture, and 2 cases were complicated with radial nerve injury. According to Cierny-Mader anatomical classification, 11 cases were type Ⅱ, 6 cases were type Ⅲ, and 2 cases were type Ⅳ. The duration of bone infection was 1-3 years. After primary debridement, the bone defect was (3.04±0.28) cm, and the antibiotic bone cement was implanted into the defect area, and the external fixator was installed; 3 cases were repaired with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and 2 cases were repaired with lateral brachial fascial flap. Bone defects repair and reconstruction were performed after 6-8 weeks of infection control. The wound healing was observed, and white blood cell (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reaction protein (CRP) were reexamined regularly after operation to evaluate the infection control. X-ray films of the affected limb were taken regularly after operation to observe the bone healing in the defect area. At last follow-up, the flexion and extension range of motion and the total range of motion of the elbow joint were observed and recorded, and compared with those before operation, and the function of the elbow joint was evaluated by Mayo score. RESULTS: All patients were followed up 12-34 months (mean, 26.2 months). The wounds healed in 5 cases after skin flap repair. Two cases of recurrent infection were effectively controlled by debridement again and replacement of antibiotic bone cement. The infection control rate was 89.47% (17/19) in the first stage. Two patients with radial nerve injury had poor muscle strength of the affected limb, and the muscle strength of the affected limb recovered from grade Ⅲ to about grade Ⅳ after rehabilitation exercise. During the follow-up period, there was no complication such as incision ulceration, exudation, bone nonunion, infection recurrence, or infection in the bone harvesting area. Bone healing time ranged from 16 to 37 weeks, with an average of 24.2 weeks. WBC, ESR, CRP, PCT, and elbow flexion, extension, and total range of motions significantly improved at last follow-up ( P<0.05). According to Mayo elbow scoring system, the results were excellent in 14 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 2 cases, and the excellent and good rate was 89.47%. CONCLUSION Limited internal fixation combined with a hinged external fixator in the treatment of the peri-elbow bone infection can effectively control infection and restore the function of the elbow joint.

Objective:A rare case of δ-globin gene (HBD) mutation in Guangdong Province was analyzed to provide reference for avoiding misdiagnosis of δ-thalassemia in clinic.Methods:The patient was admitted to Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and the peripheral blood sample was collected for hematological phenotypes [mean erythrocyte volume (MCV), mean erythrocyte hemoglobin content (MCH), hemoglobin (Hb)] and Hb typing analysis. The routine deletion and mutation of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia genes were analyzed by PCR-flow fluorescence hybridization. At the same time, DNA sequencing was used to analyze the type of HBD mutation.Results:The results of hematological phenotypes analysis showed that MCV was 87.9 fl, MCH was 29.3 pg, and Hb content was 140 g/L. The results of Hb typing showed that the contents of Hb F, Hb A 2, Hb A 2 variant, and Hb A were 0.4%, 1.3%, 0.6%, and 97.7%, respectively. No abnormality was found in α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia genes by routine deletion and mutation detection. According to DNA sequencing analysis, the patient had HBD: c.349 C>G variant. Conclusion:The low Hb A 2 content (reference value is 2.5% - 3.5%) in this case is due to the mutation of HBD, HBD: c.349 C>G variant is rare in Chinese population.

Objective:To explore the effects of enriched environment combined with melatonin on learning and memory function and DNA oxidative damage in senescence accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice.Methods:Twenty-four 6-month-old SPF healthy male SAMP8 mice were randomly divided into model group, enriched environment group, melatonin group and enriched environment+ melatonin group, with 6 mice in each group. Six homologous SAMR1 mice of the same age were used as the control group. The mice in the enriched environment group and the enriched environment+ melatonin group were fed in the enriched environment. At the same time, the mice in the melatonin group and the enriched environment+ melatonin group were subcutaneously injected with melatonin (8 mg /(kg·d)) once a day for 28 d. The mice in the model group, the control group and the enriched environment group were subcutaneously injected with an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution once a day for 28 days. Aging score was used to evaluate the aging of mice. Morris water maze and Y maze tests were used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of mice. The cell morphology of hippocampus in mice was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the level of Aβ 1-42 protein in hippocampus of mice was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The levels of γ-H2A histone family member X(γ-H2AX) and 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG) proteins in hippocampus of mice were detected by Western blot and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to process the data. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison among multiple groups, and LSD- t test was used for further pairwise comparison. Results:(1)There was a statistical difference in aging scores among the 5 groups of mice after intervention ( F=126.4, P<0.01). After intervention, the aging scores of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group, and enriched environment+ melatonin group were lower than that in the model group (all P<0.05), and the score of the enriched environment+ melatonin group was significantly lower than that in the enriched environment group ( P<0.05). (2)The time and group interaction, group main effect and time main effect of the escape latency among the 5 groups of mice were statistically significant ( F=11.2, 799.9, 121.8, all P<0.01). From day 2 to day 4, the escape latencies of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group and enriched environment+ melatonin group were significantly lower than that in the model group (all P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the target quadrant residence time and cross-platform times among the 5 groups ( F=70.38, 48.83, both P<0.01). The target quadrant residence time and cross-platform times of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group, and enriched environment+ melatonin group were significantly higher than that in the model group (all P<0.05). (3) There were significant differences in the total number of alternations and correct rates among the 5 groups ( F=291.328, 113.482, both P<0.01). The total numbers of alternations and correct rates in melatonin group ((29.46±3.75)times, (53.16±3.47)%) and the enriched environment+ melatonin group((32.57±3.52)times, (58.60±4.13)%)were significantly higher than those in the model group ((18.62±3.96)times, (43.61±3.92) %)(all P<0.05). (4)The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry staining showed that compared with the model group, the cell structure and morphology of the hippocampus of mice in enriched environment group, melatonin group, and enriched environment+ melatonin group were significantly improved, and the expression of Aβ 1-42 was significantly reduced (all P<0.05). (5) There were statistically significant differences in the levels of γ-H2AX and 8-OHdG proteins in the hippocampus of the 5 groups of mice ( F=78.09, 117.20, both P<0.01). The levels of γ-H2AX and 8-OHdG of mice in the enriched environment+ melatonin group ((1.37±0.26), (4.79±0.35)pg/μg) were significantly lower than those in the enriched environment group ((2.83±0.25), (7.23±0.41)pg/μg) and the melatonin group ((2.43±0.22), (6.69±0.28)pg/μg) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Both enriched environment and melatonin can significantly improve the learning and memory function of SAMP8 mice, and the combined treatment effect is more significant.The mechanism may be related to the reduction of DNA oxidative damage in hippocampus.
