Objective To investigate the correlation between arterial stiffness(AS)and incident chronic kidney disease(CKD)among the elderly individuals taking health checkup.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 857 elderly individuals without CKD at baseline who taking physical exams in our medical center from December 2009 to May 2021.Their clinical and labora-tory data were collected.Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV)was used to assess the se-verity of AS,and then the subjects were divided into normal elasticity group(201 cases),and moderate(490 cases)and severe AS group(166 cases).Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to dis-play cumulative incidence rates of incident CKD across different AS groups.Restricted cubic splines(RCS)and Cox regression models were applied to analyze the correlation of baPWV and incident CKD risk.Results The severe AS group had significantly advanced age,greater ratio of hypertension,larger waist circumference,higher HR,SBP and DBP,increased urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR),elevated levels of TG and fasting blood glucose,and baPWV than the normal elasticity group(P＜0.05).During the follow-up period,37 participants developed CKD.The incidence of CKD was obviously higher in the severe AS group than the normal arterial elas-ticity group(9.04％vs 3.48％).RCS analysis revealed a U-shaped relationship between baPWV and incident CKD risk.When baPWV ≥1 400 cm/s,each standard deviation increase in baPWV indicates the risk of incident CKD increasing by 71％(HR=1.71,95％CI:1.30-2.25,P＜0.01).Regardless of adjustment for covariates or not,baPWV remained positive correlation with inci-dent CKD risk(P＜0.05).Conclusion Among the elderly individuals undergoing health check-up,increased AS severity is significantly associated with higher risk of incident CKD when baP-WV ≥1400 cm/s.

Objective:To compare changes in retinal and choroidal blood flow in the macular area of eyes with idiopathic macular hole (IMH), fellow eyes, and normal eyes. Additionally, the correlation between these blood flow changes and the occurrence and development of IMH.Methods:A cross-sectional study. From January 2023 to January 2024, 47 patients (47 eyes) diagnosed with IMH (IMH group) in Department of Ophthalmology of The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were included in the study. The contralateral eye of IMH eyes was assigned to the contralateral eye group. Healthy volunteers with matched gender and age were selected as the normal control group. Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography was used to acquire the vessel density (VD) of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) in the areas within 0-1 mm and 1-6 mm around the fovea, including the superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal regions. Additionally, the choroidal blood flow area (CBFA) and three-dimensional choroidal vascular index (3D-CVI) were measured. The minimum linear diameter (MLD) and base diameter (BD) of the IMH were manually measured. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between the size of the IMH and the various vascular parameters.Results:Compared with the normal control group, the SCP-VD in the 3rd stage ( t=1.298, P=0.009) and 4th stage ( t=1.264, P<0.000) eyes in the IMH group was significantly decreased, with statistical significance; the DCP-VD ( t=1.958, 2.150, 1.712, 1.667; P=0.027, <0.000, <0.000, <0.000) and 3D-CVI ( t=0.027, 0.030, 0.024, 0.023; P=0.005, 0.003,<0.000, <0.000) in eyes of all stages were significantly decreased, with statistical significance; the CBFA in eyes of stages 2-4 was significantly decreased, with statistical significance ( t=0.027, 0.022, 0.021; P=0.028, 0.002, 0.002). Compared with the contralateral eye group, the DCP-VD and 3D-CVI in the IMH group were significantly reduced, with statistical significance ( Z=?3.289, ?2.704; P=0.001, 0.007). Pairwise comparisons between eyes of different stages in the IMH group showed that SCP-VD was significantly different between stage 2 and stage 4 ( t=1.776, P=0.008); DCP-VD was significantly different between stage 1 and stage 3, and stage 1 and stage 4 ( t=1.685, 1.661; P=0.002, 0.000). Correlation analysis showed that SCP-VD was negatively correlated with MLD and BD ( r=?0.508, ?0.408; P=0.002, 0.014); DCP-VD was negatively correlated with BD ( r=?0.410, P=0.013). Compared with the normal control group, the nasal CBFA in stage 3 and 4 IMH eyes ( t=0.149, 0.145; P=0.005, 0.002), and the nasal 3D-CVI in stage 1 and 3 IMH eyes ( t=0.030, 0.027; P=0.002,<0.000) were significantly decreased, with statistical significance. Conclusions:The SCP-VD, DCP-VD, CBFA, and 3D-CVI in IMH eyes were significantly reduced. SCP-VD showed a negative correlation with MLD and BD, while DCP-VD was only negatively correlated with BD.

The probiotic strain Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) with high biocompatibility and susceptibility to genetic modification is often applied in bacterial therapies for cancer. However, most studies have used plasmids as vectors to construct engineering strains from EcN. Plasmid-based expression systems suffer from genetic instability, and they need antibiotic selective pressure to maintain high copy number. This study aimed to employ EcN for synthesizing the photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA). Firstly, the key genes of 5-ALA synthesis, hemA^M and hemL, were integrated into the EcN genome by the phage integration technique. Then, chemically inducible chromosomal evolution (CIChE) was adopted to increase the copy number of hemA^M and hemL and thus improved the stable synthesis of 5-ALA. The in vitro cell experiments verified that the constructed engineering strain can deliver stably synthesized 5-ALA to tumor cells and inhibit their growth. This study provided a basis for applying the engineering strains of EcN in the photodynamic therapy for tumors.

Objective To explore the automated identification and diameter measurement methods for inferior vena cava (IVC) based on clinical ultrasound images of IVC. Methods An automated identification and localization method based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm was proposed. Tracking algorithm was used for identifying and continuously locating to improve the efficiency and accuracy of measurement. Tests were conducted on 18 sets of ultrasound data collected from 18 patients in intensive care unit (ICU),with clinicians' measurements as the gold standard. Results The recognition accuracy of the automated method was 94.44％ (17/18),and the measurement error of IVC diameter was within the range of±1.96s (s was the standard deviation). The automated method could replace the manual method. Conclusion The proposed IVC automated identification and localization algorithm based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm has high recognition success rate and IVC diameter measurement accuracy. It can assist clinicians in identifying and locating IVC,so as to improve the accuracy of IVC measurement.

Objective:Cardiac arrest (CA) represents a significant public health challenge, posing a substantial threat to individual health and survival. To enhance the survival rates of patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), Baoan District in Shenzhen City has undertaken exploratory initiatives and practical interventions, yielding promising preliminary outcomes.Methods:1.Innovate emergency medical services by developing a "four-circle integration" system that connects to the hospital. This system encompasses the social emergency medical system, the out-of-hospital emergency medical system, the in-hospital emergency medical service system, and the intensive care treatment system. 2.Develop a comprehensive model for the construction of a social emergency medical training system, characterized by party leadership, government oversight, departmental coordination, professional guidance, technological support, and community involvement, termed the "Baonan Model." Additionally, establish evaluation criteria to assess the effectiveness of the social emergency medical training system in Baonan District; 3. Develop a cardiac arrest registration system and a social emergency medical training management system for Baonan District; 4. Enhance the proficiency in treatment techniques and the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among emergency medical professionals; 5. Strengthen and advance the development of a "five-minute social rescue network" to address the critical "emergency window period." .Result:In Baonan District, 9.18% of the public is trained in emergency medical skills. The bystander CPR rate for OHCA is 26.11%, AED use is at 4.78%, the 30-day survival rate is 6.31%, and the discharge survival rate is 4.44%.Conclusion:The implementation of the aforementioned measures can substantially enhance the survival rate of patients experiencing OHCA at the time of discharge.
