Objectives:To observe the incidence of residual shunt post patent foramen ovale(PFO)closure and the effect of PFO closure in these migraine patients at one year after PFO. Methods:This retrospective study included patients who underwent PFO closure for migraine in the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2019 to June 2022,patients were divided into the grade 0 shunt group(n=67),the grade Ⅰ shunt group(n=10),the grade Ⅱ shunt group(n=13)and the grade Ⅲ shunt group(n=16)according to the results of contrast transthoracic echocardiography(cTTE)at 1 year after PFO closure.The incidence of postoperative migraine attacks among different groups of patients were compared.The risk factors of residual shunt after PFO closure were explored. Results:The mean age of enrolled 106 patients with migraine was(35.80±11.70)years,of which 83 patients(78.30%)were female.One year after PFO closure,the migraine attack and rating scale were significantly decreased compared to baseline in the grade 0 shunt group,in the grade Ⅰ shunt group and in the grade Ⅱ shunt group(all P<0.05),but not in the grade Ⅲ shunt group(P>0.05).The rate of significant and complete migraine was significantly higher in the grade 0 shunt group(58.21%),in the gradeⅠ shunt group(60.00%),in the grade Ⅱ shunt group(69.23%)as compared to the grade Ⅲ shunt group(18.75%,P=0.02)at one year after PFO.The rate of grade 0 shunt after PFO closure in patients with the microvesicles appearing in≥6 cardiac cycles in resting state before operation was significantly lower than in patients with the microvesicles appearing within 6 cardiac cycles and no microvesicles in resting state(24.00%vs.83.87%vs.70.00%,P=0.04).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that patients with microvesicles appearing beyond 6 cardiac cycles in resting state were more likely to have residual shunts in postoperative cTTE compared to the patients with negative cTTE and microvesicles appearing within 6 cardiac cycles in the cTTE in resting state before operation(OR=0.06,95%CI:0.02-0.23,P<0.01;OR=0.014,95%CI:0.05-0.41,P<0.01). Conclusions:Migraine patients who underwent PFO closure and with grade 0 to grade Ⅱ residual shunt at one year after PFO are most likely to have significant remission of migraine,while the incidence of migraine remission is low in patients with grade Ⅲresidual shunt.The incidence of residual shunt after PFO closure is higher in patients with the microvesicles appearing in 6 cardiac cycles in resting state in the cTTE before operation than in patients with the microvesicles appearing within 6 cardiac cycles and no microvesicles.

Objective: To analyze the results of colorectal cancer screening among residents in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality from 2013 to 2021, so as to provide the basis for promoting colorectal cancer screening and prevention. Methods: Permanent residents aged 50 to 74 years in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2021 were selected as the screening population. The initial screening was conducted using a risk assessment form and fecal occult blood test. Positive results on either the risk assessment form or fecal occult blood test were considered positive for the initial screening. Participants with positive initial screening results were invited to undergo colonoscopy. The positive rate of the initial screening, colonoscopy compliance rate, and colonoscopy results were analyzed. Results: A total of 264 907 individuals underwent the initial colorectal cancer screening in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2021, with 65 333 individuals (24.66%) testing positive. Among them, the positive rate of the risk assessment form was 12.16%, and the positive rate of fecal occult blood test was 14.64%. A total of 14 473 individuals completed colonoscopy, with a compliance rate of 22.15%. A total of 1 284 precancerous lesions were detected, with a detection rate of 8.87%, and 386 cases of colorectal cancer were identified, with a detection rate of 2.67%. The positive rate of the initial screening, colonoscopy compliance rate, precancerous lesion detection rate, and colorectal cancer detection rate were higher in males than in females (25.55% vs. 24.06%, 23.12% vs. 21.45%, 11.60% vs. 6.74%, 3.62% vs. 1.93%, all P<0.05). With increasing age, the positive rate of the initial screening increased, the colonoscopy compliance rate decreased, the precancerous lesion detection rate and colorectal cancer detection rate increased (all P<0.05). From 2013 to 2021, the positive rate of the initial screening among residents showed a downward trend, while the colonoscopy compliance rate showed an upward trend (both P<0.05). Conclusions The detection rate of precancerous lesions in colorectal cancer was 8.87%, and the detection rate of colorectal cancer was 2.67% in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2021. Male and older individuals were the key populations for screening, and the colonoscopy compliance among residents needs to be improved.

Mitral valve replacement is one of the most common heart valve surgeries in China. In recent years, with the increase in degenerative valve diseases, older patients, and the progress of anti-calcification technology of biological valves, the proportion of mitral valve biological valve replacement has been increasing year by year. After the damage of traditional mitral valve biological valves, re-operation of valve replacement with thoracotomy is required. However, the adhesion between the heart and sternum, as well as the damage caused by cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest, can cause significant trauma to elderly patients and those with multiple organ dysfunction, leading to increased mortality and complication rates. In recent years, interventional valve surgery, especially transcatheter valve-in-valve surgery, has developed rapidly. This procedure can correct the damaged mitral valve function without stopping the heart, but there are still many differences between its technical process and conventional aortic valve replacement surgery. Therefore, organizing and writing multicenter expert recommendations on the technical process of transcatheter valve-in-valve surgery for damaged mitral valve biological valves is of great significance for the training and promotion of this technology.

Objective:To evaluate the associations of sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle factors with longevity status in older adults in China.Methods:After excluding those born after 31 st December 1938, a total of 51 870 older adults from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) were included. The attained age was defined according to the survival age or age on 31 st December 2018. According to the attained age, the old persons were categorized into non-longevity (died before age 80 years) and longevity (attained age ≥80 years). The longevity group was further divided into two groups: longevity with death occurring before 2019, and longevity and survival to 2019. The information about socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyles was collected at the 2004-2008 baseline survey. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between exposure factors and outcomes by taking the non-longevity group as the reference group. Results:A total of 51 870 older adults aged 65-79 years in the baseline survey were included for analysis. During a follow-up for (10.2±3.5) years, 38 841 participants were longevity, and 30 354 participants still survived at the end of 2018. Compared to men, rural populations, non-married individuals, those with an annual household income of less than 10 000 yuan, and those with education levels of primary school or below, the adjusted ORs(95% CI) for longevity and survival to 2019 in women, urban residents, married individuals, those with annual household incomes ≥20 000 yuan, and those with education levels of college or university were 1.68 (1.58-1.78), 1.69 (1.61-1.78), 1.15 (1.10-1.21), 1.44 (1.36-1.53), and 1.32 (1.19-1.48), respectively. The OR (95% CI) for longevity and survival to 2019 was 1.09 (1.08-1.10) for those with an increase of 4 MET-hour/day in total physical activity level. With those who never or almost never smoked, had no alcohol drinking every week, had normal weight (BMI: 18.5-23.9 kg/m 2), and WC <85 cm (man)/<80 cm (woman) as the reference groups, the ORs(95% CI) of longevity and survival to 2019 were 0.64 (0.60-0.69) for those smoking ≥20 cigarettes per day, 1.29 (1.14-1.46) for those with alcohol drinking every week, 1.13 (1.01-1.26) for those with pure alcohol drinking <30 g per day, 0.56 (0.52-0.61) for those being underweight, 1.27 (1.19-1.36) for those being overweight, 1.23 (1.11-1.36) for those with obesity, and 0.86 (0.79-0.93) for those with central obesity. Further stratified analysis by WC was performed. In the older adults with WC <85 cm (man)/<80 cm (woman), the ORs (95% CI) of longevity and survival was 1.80 (1.69-1.92) for those with each 5 kg/m 2 increase in BMI and 1.02 (0.96-1.08) for those with WC ≥85 cm (man)/≥80 cm (woman). There was a statistically significant difference in the association between BMI and longevity between the two WC groups (interaction test P<0.001). Conclusion:This study showed that women, the married, those with higher socioeconomic status and education level, and those with healthy lifestyles were more likely to achieve longevity.

In recent 30 years, the global burden of cancer has become more serious, and one of social problem is population aging, plus declining birth rate, declining marriage rate and increasing divorce rate. Marriage is one of the most intimate and long-term social relations, and previous research had piecemeal reports of its impact on cancer morbidity and mortality without systematic review of evidence in high-quality population based epidemiological research. This paper summarizes the progress in research of the relationship between marital status and cancer to provide reference for future research and cancer prevention and control.

Chemical cleaning and disinfection are crucial steps for eliminating infection in root canal treatment.However,irrigant selection or irrigation procedures are far from clear.The vapor lock effect in the apical region has yet to be solved,impeding irrigation efficacy and resulting in residual infections and compromised treatment outcomes.Additionally,ambiguous clinical indications for root canal medication and non-standardized dressing protocols must be clarified.Inappropriate intracanal medication may present side effects and jeopardize the therapeutic outcomes.Indeed,clinicians have been aware of these concerns for years.Based on the current evidence of studies,this article reviews the properties of various irrigants and intracanal medicaments and elucidates their effectiveness and interactions.The evolution of different kinetic irrigation methods,their effects,limitations,the paradigm shift,current indications,and effective operational procedures regarding intracanal medication are also discussed.This expert consensus aims to establish the clinical operation guidelines for root canal irrigation and a position statement on intracanal medication,thus facilitating a better understanding of infection control,standardizing clinical practice,and ultimately improving the success of endodontic therapy.

Although significant progress has been made in the development of novel targeted drugs for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)in recent years,chemotherapy still remains the mainstay of treatment and the overall survival is poor in most patients.Here,we demonstrated the antileukemia activity of a novel small molecular compound NL101,which is formed through the modification on bendamustine with a suberanilohydroxamic acid(SAHA)radical.NL101 suppresses the proliferation of myeloid malignancy cells and primary AML cells.It induces DNA damage and caspase 3-mediated apoptosis.A genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)library screen revealed that phosphatase and tensin homologous(PTEN)gene is critical for the regulation of cell survival upon NL101 treatment.The knockout or inhibition of PTEN significantly reduced NL101-induced apoptosis in AML and myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)cells,accompanied by the activation of protein kinase B(AKT)signaling pathway.The inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)by rapamycin enhanced the sensitivity of AML cells to NL101-induced cell death.These findings uncover PTEN protein expression as a major determinant of chemosensitivity to NL101 and provide a novel strategy to treat AML with the combination of NL101 and rapamycin.

Abstract Myopia is the most common visual impairment among children and adolescents. With the acceleration of urbanization, the relationship between myopia and factors of the built environment, such as building density, living space, green environment, etc, has attracted widespread attention in society. A growing number of studies have shown that the factors of the built environment play an important role in the onset and progression of myopia. This current review focuses on the effects of the built environment on myopia in children and adolescents, summarizes the association between the built environment and myopia in children and adolescents from the aspects of environmental density, living space and green space environment, and discusses the potential paths of the association, including affecting the light environment and restricting the outdoor activities of children and adolescents, which could provide environmental etiological clues for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents and reduce the burden of public health caused by myopia.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of laparoscopic anatomical hepatic segment Ⅷ (S8) resection.Methods:Of 16 patients with liver cancer who underwent laparoscopic anatomical hepatic S8 resection at the National Cancer Center from October 2020 to October 2022 were were enrolled, including 13 males and 3 females, aged (59.1±10.9) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, occurrence of intraoperative blood transfusion, and postoperative complications were retrospectively analyzed. Recurrence and survival were followed up by outpatient and telephone reviews.Results:Laparoscopic anatomical hepatic S8 resection was successfully performed in 16 patients without conversion to laparotomy. Among them, 10 patients underwent the intraoperative ultrasound guided hepatic parenchymal approach, and 6 underwent laparoscopic Glissonean pedicle puncture for the positive staining of S8 using indocyanine green. The operation time was (274.8±82.8) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 100.0 (50.0, 200.0) ml. There were no intraoperative blood transfusion or postoperative complication. The drainage tube was successfully removed and the patients were discharged 5 to 7 days after surgery. The patients were followed up for 5 to 24 months and all survived. Two patients had tumor recurrence. Conclusion:Laparoscopic anatomical S8 resection is safe and feasible.

Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the main complications in patients with traumatic fractures, and for severe patients, the DVT can even affect arterial blood supply, resulting in insufficient limb blood supply. If the thrombus breaks off, pulmonary embolism may occur, with a high mortality. The treatment and rehabilitation strategies of thrombosis in patients with lower extremity fractures have its particularity. DVT in traumatic fractures patients has attracted extensive attention and been largely studied, and the measures for prevention and treatment of DVT are constantly developing. In recent years, a series of thrombosis prevention and treatment guidelines have been updated at home and abroad, but there are still many doubts about the prevention and treatment of DVT in patients with different traumatic fractures. Accordingly, on the basis of summarizing the latest evidence-based medical evidence at home and abroad and the clinical experience of the majority of experts, the authors summarize the clinical treatment and prevention protocols for DVT in patients with traumatic fractures, and make this consensus on the examination and assessment, treatment, prevention and preventive measures for DVT in patients with different fractures so as to provide a practicable approach suitable for China ′s national conditions and improve the prognosis and the life quality of patients.
