Innovation entities bear primary responsibility for the management of scientific and technological ethics. Understanding the current construction status of the scientific and technological ethical governance capacity among Chinese innovation entities is conducive to grasping effectiveness and shortcomings of scientific and technological ethical governance of innovation entities， providing a scientific basis and practical guidance for innovation entities to fulfill their primary responsibilities better. Based on a questionnaire survey targeting 313 innovation entities， this paper investigated and analyzed the current status and existing challenges of scientific and technological ethical governance capacity among Chinese innovation entities from five aspects. It was found that China has made certain achievements in scientific and technological ethical governance， yet there were still issues such as incomplete construction of regulatory systems， low efficiency of ethical review， unestablished regular education and training systems， and imperfect dynamic monitoring systems for ethical risks. Among these issues， the scientific and technological ethical governance capacity of enterprises was identified as requiring urgent improvement. Additionally， strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration remained a key challenge in building a collaborative and co-governance system for scientific and technological ethics. Based on these issues identified in the survey， countermeasures and suggestions were proposed from five perspectives， that is， enhancing the capacity in institutional construction， ethical review， value transmission， risk early warning， and collaborative governance of innovation entities on scientific and technological ethical governance. The aim was to provide references for accelerating the construction of the scientific and technological ethical governance system and improving the scientific and technological ethical governance capacity of innovation entities.

Objective:To investigate the impact of imaging anatomical features on the prognosis of middle-aged and elderly patients with anomalous coronary artery originating from the opposite sinus (ACAOS).Methods:This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients aged ≥45 years who were diagnosed with ACAOS by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2018. Baseline clinical data and coronary CTA images were collected. Anatomic imaging features were extracted, including ACAOS subtype, course of the anomalous vessel, and ostial angle. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of acute myocardial infarction, cardiac death, and coronary revascularization. The Maxstat method was used to determine the cut-off values of specific anatomical features for predicting MACE risk. Cox proportional hazards models were employed to analyze the impact of these imaging features on MACE in middle-aged and elderly ACAOS patients.Results:A total of 203 patients were enrolled, aged (60.0(51.0, 66.0)) years, including 119 (58.6%) males. Over a follow-up of (98.2±30.9) months, 39 patients experienced MACE. Maxstat identified an optimal cut-off value of 34.3° for the ostial angle of the anomalous vessel. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that the following factors were independent risk factors for MACE: left-sided ACAOS subtype ( HR=4.35, 95% CI 2.17-8.73, P<0.001), an interarterial course between the aorta and pulmonary artery ( HR=3.21, 95% CI 1.23-8.37, P=0.017), an anomalous vessel ostial angle <34.3° ( HR=2.62, 95% CI 1.18-5.77, P=0.017), and concomitant coronary artery disease ( HR=2.92, 95% CI 1.49-5.73, P=0.002). Conclusion:In middle-aged and elderly patients with ACAOS, the imaging anatomical features of a left-sided ACAOS subtype, an interarterial course, and an ostial angle <34.3° are independent risk factors for MACE.

Objectives:We evaluated the clinical significance of unipolar electrogram and bipolar electrogram in guiding radiofrequency ablation for outflow tract ventricular premature contractions(PVC).Methods:Data were collected from 78 patients who underwent successful radiofrequency ablation of PVC.Pre-procedure electrocardiogram showed a LBBB morphology on inferior leads.In the included patients,the right-side ablation was performed at first,and if the ablation failed,the left-side ablation was then performed.According to the location of the successful ablation target,they were divided into unilateral ablation successful group and bilateral ablation successful group.The differences in the earliest bipolar local activation to QRS(LATBi),unipolar-dV/dTmax to QRS(LATUni),and local activation time were compared between the two groups.Furthermore,the electrogram characteristics predicting bilateral ablation were explored.Results:Patients were divided into unilateral ablation group(n=57)and bilateral ablation group(n=21)according to the ablation site.There were statistically significant differences in LATBi(25[21,30]ms vs.14[10,24]ms),LATUni(7[0,17]ms vs.-23[-41,-11]ms),and ΔLATBi-Uni(15[11,25]ms vs.44[25,56]ms)between the unilateral ablation group and the bilateral ablation group(all P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis suggested that LATBi,LATUni,and ΔLATBi-Uni were independent predictors of the need for bilateral ablation.There was no significant difference between left and right LATBi,LATUni and ΔLATBi-Uni in the bilateral ablation group.LATUni≤-1 was the most accurate parameter for predicting the need for bilateral ablation(AUC=0.941;specificity 80.7%;sensitivity 100%).Conclusions:LATUni≤-1ms is a useful indicator for predicting the need for bilateral PVC ablation in this patient cohort.

Objective: To explore the protective mechanism of resvertrol (RSV) suppressing the rapid electrical stimulation incurred oxidative stress injury in neonatal rats cardiomyocytes. Methods: The neonatal rats cardiac ifbroblasts and myocytes were isolated by double enzyme digestion and differential adhesion method, and the cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into 5 groups:①Control (CTR) group,②Rapid electrical stimulation (RES) group,③RES+APO group, cells were pretreated with NADPH oxidase inhibitor APO,④RES+RSV group,⑤RES+AIP group, cells were pretreated with CaMKII inhibitor AIP. In order to conifrm whether RSV protection was via MsrA-OX-CaMKⅡpathway, the cells were further divided into another 3 groups:①DMSO control group,②RSV+DMSO group,③RES+ RSV+DMSO group. The best dose of RSV was measured with Kit-8 by cardiomyocytes surviving condition, the optimal electrical stimulation time was detected with ELISA by Ang II level in conditioned medium. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiomyocytes was detected by flow cytometry, the protein expressions of MsrA, Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and apoptosis related cleaved caspase-3 were observed by Western blot analysis.Results:①Compared with CTR group, RES group showed increased AngII secretion with increased protein expressions of Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3.②Compared with RES group, the RES+APO, RES+RSV, RES+AIP groups had decreased ROS level, the ROS was even lower in RES+RSV group.③Compared with RES group, the RES+APO, RES+RSV groups presented decreased protein expressions of Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3, while RES+AIP group only had decreased Nox2, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3.④Compared with DMSO control group, RES+ RSV+DMSO group had the lower level of cleaved caspase-3 expression. Conclusion: RSV has protective effect on rapid electrical stimulation incurred oxidative stress injury in neonatal rats cardiomyocytes, which might be via NADPH oxidase with the increased MsrA expression .

Objective: To explore the effect of atorvastatin (Atv) on high glucose-induced oxidative stress injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by SIRT1/NADPH oxidase pathway with the possible mechanisms.
Methods: HUVECs were cultured in low glucose medium and then divided into 6 experimental groups:①Normal group,②Osmotic pressure control group,③High glucose (HG) group,④HG+Atv (0.1, 1.0, 10.0)μmol/L group,⑤HG+sirtinol (SIRT1 inhibitor) group,⑥HG+apocynin (NOX4 inhibitor) group, and HUVECs were further cultured for 24 hours. The cell proliferation was examined by CCK-8 kit, ROS level was detected by lfow cytometry method, protein expressions of SIRT1 and NOX4 were measured by Western blot analysis.
Results: ① Compared with Normal group, HG group had decreased HUVECs proliferation, Atv improved the HG inhibited proliferation in a does dependent manner. ② HG group had the higher level of ROS, increased NOX4 protein expression and decreased SIRT1 protein expression. ③ In HG condition, Atv up-regulated SIRT1 expression and down-regulated ROS and NOX4 expressions in a does dependent manner.④In HG condition, sirtinol decreased SIRT1 expression, increased NOX4 expression, and apocynin decreased NOX4 expression, while it had no inlfuence on SIRT1 expression.
Conclusion: Atorvastatin could resist HG-induced oxidative stress injury in HUVECs, which might be related to up-regulated SIRT1 expression, and SIRTI plays the role in NADPH oxidase at upstream.
