Cardiovascular disease(CVD)is currently one of the most severe diseases endangering human health,encompassing myocardial ischemia syndrome,myocardial fibrosis,atrial fibrillation,and other conditions.MicroRNAs(miRNAs/miR)are a class of small non-coding RNAs that can bind to specific se-quences and subsequently regulate post-transcriptional processing,translation,or epigenetic modifications,thereby modulating gene expression.Studies have found that miR-223 is associated with the occurrence and de-velopment of CVD and represents a potential specific therapeutic target.This article summarizes the relevant re-search on miR-223 in CVD,focusing on myocardial ischemia syndrome,myocardial fibrosis,and atrial fibrilla-tion,and discusses its application prospects and challenges as a specific therapeutic target,providing new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of CVD.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) in combination with general anesthesia for elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 70 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, aged 60-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from September 2023 to June 2024, were divided into 2 groups ( n=35 each) using a table of random numbers: liposomal bupivacaine group (LB group) and hydrochloride bupi-vacaine group (HB group). After anesthesia induction, bilateral TAPB was performed under ultrasound guidance. In LB group, 0.44% liposomal bupivacaine 30 ml was injected on each side. In HB group, 0.25% hydrochloride bupivacaine 30 ml was injected on each side. Total intravenous anesthesia was adopted for both groups. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil was carried out after surgery. When the visual analogue scale (VAS) score at rest was ≥ 4 within 72 h after surgery, hydromorphone 0.5 mg was intravenously injected for rescue analgesia. The area under the curve of VAS scores at rest and during activity was calculated within 12-72 h after surgery. The first pressing time of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and the effective pressing numbers of PCA, requirement for rescue analgesia, and score for satisfaction with analgesia were recorded. The sleep quality on 1 day before surgery and 1, 2 and 3 days after surgery was evaluated using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. The occurrence of adverse reactions, duration of post-anesthesia care unit stay, time to first ambulation, time to first flatus, and time to first oral intake, and postoperative length of hospital stay were recorded within 72 h after surgery. Results:Compared with HB group, the area under the curve of VAS scores at rest and during activity was significantly reduced at 12-72 h after operation, the first pressing time of PCA was prolonged, and the effective pressing numbers of PCA was reduced, the rate of rescue analgesia was decreased, the score for satisfaction with analgesia was increased, the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire scores were increased on the 2nd and 3rd days after surgery, the duration of post-anesthesia care unit stay and postoperative length of hospital stay were shortened, and the incidence of postoperative nausea was decreased in LB group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine TAPB combined with general anesthesia is superior to that of hydrochloride bupivacaine TAPB combined with general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer radical resection.

Objective To explore the characteristics,potential challenges,and optimization paths of high-quality development policies for public hospitals in China,and to provide reference for policy formulation and implementation.Methods The 31 policy documents on high-quality development of public hospitals issued at the central and provincial levels between 2021 and 2024 were coded using Nvivo 11 software,and a three-dimensional analytical framework was constructed on the basis of the policy tools,stakeholders,and system dimensions,combining both quantitative and qualitative methods for content analysis.Results It found that the distribution of policy content in the three dimensions was characterized by stage imbalance:policy tools were mainly environmental,followed by supply,and demand;stakeholder attention was focused on public hospitals and healthcare administrations,and patient attention was low;The system dimension focused mainly on the macro level,with less distribution at the meso and micro levels.Although the unbalanced distribution of policy instruments is relevant at certain stages,the long-term structural imbalance may lead to insufficient systemic policies and weakened stakeholder synergies,and there is an urgent need to optimize the structure of instruments.Conclusions It is recommended to increase the proportion of demand-based policy instruments in policy design and dynamically adjust the synergistic application of the three types of instruments;to strengthen the attention to vulnerable stakeholders,such as patients;and to optimize the design of policies at the meso-levels and micro-levels in order to enhance the systemicity and sustainability of policy implementation.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and disruptive effects of Meropenem（MEM）-loaded microbubbles（MBs）combined with ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction（UTMD）technology on Escherichia coli and its biofilm.Methods:MEM-MBs were prepared using the thin-film hydration method，and their characterization was assessed using a Zeta potential analyzer，with morphological observations conducted under an optical microscope. An in vitro biofilm model of periprosthetic joint infection（PJI）caused by Escherichia coli was constructed，and the morphology of the biofilm and the distribution of MEM-MBs in the bacterial biofilm were observed under a laser confocal microscope after staining the biofilm with SYTO59 staining and DIL staining for Microbubbles. The biofilm morphology and the distribution of MEM-MBs in bacterial biofilm were observed under laser confocal microscope. The biofilms were randomly divided into 5 groups using a random number table：control，Meropenem（MEM），MEM-MBs，UTMD，and MEM-MBs+UTMD，with 12 samples per group. After applying the respective interventions，scanning electron microscopy（SEM）and laser scanning confocal microscopy（LSCM）were employed to observe the effects on the morphology and structure of Escherichia coli and its biofilm. Crystal violet staining was utilized to determine and compare the biofilm density among groups using a microplate reader. LSCM was also used to observe the biofilm thickness，while both LSCM and spread plate counting were employed to assess bacterial viability differences across groups.Results:①MEM-MBs meeting the experimental requirements were successfully constructed.②A dense Escherichia coli biofilm visible under both the naked eye and LSCM was established，with a thickness of（10.61 ± 0.17）μm and a proportion of dead bacteria within the biofilm of（16.8 ± 0.8）%.③MEM-MBs were observed to penetrate into all layers of the biofilm using LSCM.④The results of crystal violet staining showed a decreasing trend in the biofilm density of the control group，the MEM group，the MEM-MBs group，the UTMD group，and the MEM-MBs+UTMD group. There was no significant difference between the MEM group and the MEM-MBs group（ P＞0.05），while there was a significant difference in biofilm density between the other groups，as revealed by pairwise comparison（all P＜0.05）.⑤UTMD technique and MEM-MBs+UTMD could significantly disrupt the biofilm of Escherichia coli. LSCM results showed that，compared to the control group，the thickness of the biofilm was reduced in all other groups，with only the UTMD group and the MEM-MBs+UTMD group showing an increase in porosity（both P＜0.05）. In comparison with the MEM group and the MEM-MBs group，the UTMD group showed an increase in porosity，while the MEM-MBs+UTMD group had a decrease in biofilm thickness and an increase in porosity（both P＜0.05）. Additionally，compared to the UTMD group，the MEM-MBs+UTMD group had a decrease in biofilm thickness and an increase in porosity（both P＜0.05），based on laser confocal microscopy results.⑥The results of the plate counting and LSCM showed that，compared with the control group，clump counts decreased，and the proportion of dead cells increased in the MEM group，the MEM-MBs group，and the MEM-MBs+UTMD group（all P＜0.05）. Compared with MEM group and MEM-MBs group，the clump counts of UTMD group increased，the proportion of dead cells decreased（all P＜0.05）；the clump counts of MEM-MBs+UTMD group decreased，and the proportion of dead cells increased（all P＜0.05）.Compared with UTMD group（all P＜0.05），the clump counts of MEM-MBs+UTMD group decreased，while the proportion of dead cells increased（all P＜0.05）.⑦The results of scanning electron microscopy revealed that the network structure of Escherichia coli was completely destroyed in the MEM-MBs+UTMD group. Conclusions:UTMD technology combined with MEM-MBs exerts a significant disruptive effect on the morphology and structure of Escherichia coli biofilm and significantly enhances bactericidal efficacy.
