Objective:To analyze the influences of coronary angiography(CAG)of transradial artery on the success rate,radiation dose and safety in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:This study conducted a prospective study.A total of 150 elderly CHD patients who admitted to Heilongjiang Rad Cross Sengong General Hospital from November 2022 to November 2023 were selected,and they were randomly divided into three groups using a random number table,which included the femoral artery group(n=50),radial artery group(n=50),and ulnar artery group(n=50).The femoral artery group underwent CAG by using the femoral artery approach,and the radial artery group underwent CAG by using the radial artery approach,and the ulnar artery group underwent CAG by using the ulnar artery approach.The CAG success rate and CAG indicators[dosage of contrast agent,X-ray exposure time,time of conducting puncture,corrected TIMI frame count(CTFC)]were compared among the three groups.The radiation-related parameters[cumulative dose(CD),dose-area product(DAP)]also were compared among three groups.The patients'comfort degrees of three groups were assessed by adopting General Comfort Questionnaire(GCQ)at three time points(pre-CAG,during CAG,at the 12th hour post-CAG).In addition,the complications of three groups were recorded.Results:The numbers of success angiography were respectively 47 cases,48 cases and 46 cases in femoral artery group,radial artery group and ulnar artery group,and the success rates of them were respectively 94.00%(47/50),96.00%(48/50)and 92.00%(46/50),without statistically significant differences among three groups(P>0.05).There were not significant differences in the dosage of contrast agent,X-ray exposure time,time of conducting puncture,CTFC,CD and DAP among three groups(P>0.05).In the GCQ scores,the scores pre-CAG of all three groups were highest,followed by those at the 12th hour post-CAG,and then,those during CAG were lowest,which appeared a trend of rise after decline.The total incidence of complication was lowest(6.25%)in the radial artery group,followed by the ulnar artery group(10.87%),and that(21.28%)of the femoral artery group was the highest,but there was not statistically significant difference in that among three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:The CAG success rates of the radial artery,femoral artery and ulnar artery are similar,and there is not significant difference in radiation dose.However,compared with CAG of femoral artery and ulnar artery,the CAG of radial artery has higher safety,and higher comfort degree at the same time.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:This study aims to provide insights into the clinical features of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein-5(MDA5)-positive dermatomyositis (MDA5-DM) patients with fatal outcomes, leveraging pathogenic microbiota metagenomic analysis, to guide the clinical assessment and treatment choices.Methods:From January 2020 to August 2023, deceased patients diagnosed with MDA5-DM were identified at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi ′an Jiaotong University. Clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed using Mann Whitney U test and Fisher ′s exact test to summarize risk factors and treatment assessment for MDA5-DM patients with fatal outcomes. Results:①The proportion of male patients was higher than females among MDA5-DM patients with fatal outcomes, which differed from the incidence pattern, possibly associated with smoking and gender proportions (6/11 vs. 0/7, P=0.037). ②94%(17/18) patients presented initially with elevated ferritin levels [(1 350±942)ng/ml] and CRP [(47±36)mg/L]. ③All patients (18/18) exhibited early involvement of the upper lung lobes, including multiple nodules in 9/18, ground-glass opacities in 5/18, and solitary nodules in 4/18. ④Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was negative in 4/16 cases, with cytomegalovirus and pneumocystis jirovecii being the most commonly detected pathogens in 5/16 cases each. ⑤89%(16/18) of patients continued to have lymphocyte counts persistently <0.5×10 9/L irrespective of treatment. Conclusion:Smoking may have adverse effects on male MDA5 patients. Early involvement of the upper lobe of the lungs is more common in MDA5 antibody positive deaths, and persistent lymphocyte depletion is an important factor in poor response. Enhancing mNGS analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and vigilance towards cytomegalovirusand Pneumocystis jirovecii could provide valuable clinical guidance.

Objective:To screen broadly neutralizing antibodies in human immunodeficiency virus-1（HIV-1）chronically infected individuals and characterize their molecular features and to provide new strategies for rational vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutics.Methods:A total of 34 treatment-na?ve individuals with chronic HIV-1 infection were enrolled. Plasma antibody binding levels were measured against two HIV-1 envelope proteins. Single antigen-specific memory B cells were sorted from high-binding samples，and antibody variable region genes were amplified by PCR for paired expression. The monoclonal antibodies were evaluated for neutralizing activity using pseudovirus assays，and their structural features were analyzed by integrating AlphaFold 3 prediction with Discovery Studio molecular docking.Results:Plasma samples showed strong binding to DU422-GP140 and BG505-GP140. Eight monoclonal antibodies were isolated from two donors. Among them，antibodies 0919-A4，0919-A9 and 0808-A2 could cross-react with GP140 from HIV-1 subtypes AE，BC and B. The monoclonal antibody 0919-A9 demonstrated potent neutralizing activity against SF162（Tier 1）and CH181（Tier 2）pseudoviruses，with somatic hypermutation rates of 13.27%（heavy chain）and 15.58%（light chain）. Structural modeling revealed its specific targeting of the V1V2 region on GP120.Conclusion:The isolated antibody 0919-A9 effectively neutralizes Tier 2 pseudoviruses. Its high somatic mutation frequency and V1V2-targeting property underlie its neutralizing activity，providing both a promising candidate and mechanistic insights for HIV vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutic strategies.

Objective:To investigate Beijing residents′ preferences, marginal willingness to pay (mWTP), and utilization probabilities regarding the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health management services provided by community health service institutions, and to provide references for promoting the application and dissemination of TCM health management at the grassroots level.Methods:A questionnaire was designed based on a discrete choice experiment involving six attributes influencing residents′ utilization of TCM health management services: medical insurance coverage, technical effectiveness, service provider, physician seniority, treatment modality, and individual average out-of-pocket cost. A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used to select 800 residents from three community health service institutions across three administrative districts of Beijing. The survey was conducted from November to December 2024. A mixed logit model was employed to analyze the factors influencing service utilization preferences, mWTP, and utilization probabilities.Results:A total of 733 valid questionnaires were included in the analysis. All six attributes significantly influenced residents′ service utilization preferences ( P<0.05). Residents showed stronger preferences for services with lower individual average out-of-pocket costs ( β=-0.214), combination therapies involving both internal medication and external treatments ( β=0.314), provision by senior-level professionals ( β= 0.522), fixed service providers ( β=0.851), longer treatment courses with better efficacy ( β=1.323), and services covered by medical insurance ( β=1.843). When services were covered by insurance, featured longer courses with better efficacy, and involved fixed service providers, the probability of service utilization increased to 76.52%. Heterogeneity in service utilization preferences was observed across different ages, genders and chronic health conditions ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Medical insurance coverage, technical efficacy and doctor service continuity are the most influential factors affecting residents′ service utilization. Optimizing the combination of TCM health management service attributes can enhance residents′ willingness to utilize these services. It is recommended to develop multi-tiered medical security strategies, selectively include high-value TCM health management services into insurance coverage, strengthen physician-patient trust, and design differentiated " disease prevention" service packages for residents with different characteristics to improve overall population health.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of assessing plasma thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT) and D-dimer (D-D) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:This prospective cohort study enrolled 538 AIS patients admitted to the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from July 2021 to May 2024, including 306 males and 232 females, with an average age of (69.5±11.5) years. Among them, there were 147 cases of lacunar infarction, 166 cases of large artery atherosclerosis type, 122 cases of cardioembolic type, and 103 cases of cancer-related type. Follow-up observations were conducted on enrolled patients, data within 30 days after the initiation of acute phase treatment for one week were collected, thrombus-related cerebral ischemic events recurrence served as the endpoint event, starting from August 5, 2021, to June 19, 2024. During the follow-up period, 68 patients experienced endpoint events, including 14 cases of large artery atherosclerosis type, 23 cases of cardioembolic type, and 31 cases of cancer-related type. The plasma levels of TAT and D-D were determined by chemiluminescence method and enzyme-linked immunofluorescence assay respectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the prediction performance of TAT and D-dimer for recurrent ischemic events in AIS patients during the 30-day follow-up period, and the Kaplan-Meier curve was used for survival analysis.Results:Statistically differences were observed in the plasma TAT and D-D levels among patients with different types of AIS ( P<0.05), with cancer-related type had higher levels than cardioembolic type ( P<0.05), and cardioembolic type had higher levels than large artery atherosclerosis type ( P<0.05). In the non-recurrent ischemic event group, the plasma TAT and D-D levels of patients with large artery atherosclerosis type, cardioembolic type and cancer-related type were lower in post-treatment than pre-treatment ( P<0.05). In the recurrent ischemic event group, the plasma D-D levels were higher in post-treatment than pre-treatment in the patients with large artery atherosclerosis type ( P<0.05); there was no statistically difference between the post-treatment and pre-treatment in plasma TAT and D-D levels in patients with cardioembolic type ( P>0.05); in patients with cancer-related type, the TAT and D-D levels were lower in post-treatment than pre-treatment ( P<0.05), but higher than those in the non-recurrence group ( P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve for predicting the risk of ischemic event recurrence within 30 days in AIS patients by plasma TAT combined with D-D on day 7 after treatment was all >0.9 (0.950 for large artery atherosclerosis type, 0.965 for cardioembolic type, and 0.907 for cancer-related types). Survival analysis indicated that various patients with both indicators above the critical value had an increased cumulative risk probability of adverse events (log-rank χ 2=93.667, 109.266, and 58.433, respectively, with all P<0.001). Conclusion:The changes of plasma TAT and D-D levels in AIS patients are associated with stroke type and coagulation activation, and dynamic monitoring of these two indicators could help evaluate the treatment effect and predict the risk of recurrent ischemic events.

In the progression process of liver diseases, pathological changes occur in the vascular endothelium, platelets, coagulation, anticoagulation, fibrinolysis systems of patients, and "rebalancd haemostasis" is formed. The coexistence of hypocoagulation and hypercoagulation tendency in the peripheral blood of patients made the laboratory testing data complex and difficult to interpret, especially prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time could not truly reflect the net effect of haemostasis disorder in patients with liver diseases, which often led to misjudgment and overtreatment by doctors and led to adverse clinical consequences. In recent years, thromboelastography, rotational thromboelastometry and thrombin generation assay had been used to assess bleeding risk in patients with liver diseases and had made progress in transfusion management. On the other hand, von Willebrand factor and thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13 has been shown to be closely related to the progression of liver diseases and could warn the adverse clinical outcomes effectively.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ciprofol in the anesthesia of elderly patients undergoing bronchoscopy.Methods A total of 96 elderly patients(≥65 years old)undergoing fiberoptic bronchos-copy under sedation and anesthesia were randomly assigned to either the ciprofol group(Group C,n=48)or the propofol group(Group P,n=48).In Group C,anesthesia was induced with an intravenous injection of sufentanil at 0.1 μg/kg and ciprofol at 0.3 mg/kg.In Group P,anesthesia was induced with an intravenous injection of sufent-anil at 0.1 μg/kg and propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion at 1.5 mg/kg.Hemodynamic parameters,including heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),and peripheral oxygen saturation(SpO2),were recorded at five time points:before anesthesia induction(T1),immediately after the bronchoscope passed through the glottis(T2),immediately after it reached the carina(T3),immediately after the bronchoscope was withdrawn from the nostril post-procedure(T4),and upon full consciousness after leaving the recovery room(T5).Additionally,the success rate of sedation and anesthesia,cough severity scores,induction time(t1),bronchoscopy duration(t2),recovery time(t3),and orientation recovery time(t4)were documented for both groups.Intraoperative complications,such as hypotension,hypoxemia(SpO2<90%),injection pain during induction,airway interventions(e.g.,jaw support,mask ventilation),and the number of additional sedative doses administered,were also recorded.Results Compared with T1,MAP in both groups decreased at T2 and T3(P<0.05).Compared with group P,group C exhibited a higher MAP at T2 and T3(P<0.05).between the two groups in terms of sedation success rate,induction time,cough score,examination time,recovery time,and orientation recovery time(P>0.05).Compared with group P,group C demonstrated lower incidences of hypotension,hypoxemia,injection pain,and fewer airway intervention events(P<0.05).Conclusions Compared with propofol,ciprofol in combination with sufentanil demonstrates superior circulatory stability,a lower incidence of respiratory system-related adverse reactions,and reduced injection pain.Therefore,it can be safely and effectively utilized for painless bronchoscopic diagnosis and treatment in elderly patients.

Objective:To analyze the predictive factors associated with late-onset sepsis(LOS) in very low birth weight infants,and to develop a risk prediction score scale applicable to these infants three days postnatal.This will provide valuable insights for early diagnosis and timely intervention.Methods:Very low birth weight infants admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 1,2022,to June 30,2024,were selected as research subjects.These infants were categorized into two groups:the LOS group and the non-LOS group,based on whether they developed LOS.LASSO regression analysis,alongside univariate and multivariate regression analyses,was employed to identify predictive factors for LOS in this population.A Logistic model was constructed using the optimal combination of predictive variables,and a risk assessment scale was subsequently developed.The prediction performance of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square test and the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 444 cases of very low birth weight infants were included,of which 185 had LOS and 259 did not.After screening the variables,seven independent factors were included into the model:birth weight,gestational age,tracheal intubation,abnormal skin color,abdominal distension,elevated C-reactive protein levels,and right hand perfusion index.A predictive scoring scale was developed based on the regression coefficients of each variable,with corresponding risk scores assigned as follows:1,4,3,2,1,1,and 2; a score of ≥3.5 indicated high-risk groups.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test results demonstrated that χ2 = 7.602( P = 0.473).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.792 ( P<0.001),with a sensitivity of 73.5% and specificity of 71.0%. Conclusion:The risk score scale developed in this study exhibits significant predictive capability,providing valuable insights for clinical medical personnel to assess the risk of LOS in very low birth weight infants during the early postnatal period.

This study aims to prepare monoclonal antibody to S1 protein of porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus(PEDV).E.coli expression system and affinity chromatography were used to success-fully obtain purified recombinant PEDV S1 protein.After immunizing BALB/c mice,hybridoma technology and indirect ELISA were used to prepare and screen positive hybridoma cells.Finally,ascites antibodies were prepared by in vivo induction method.ELISA results showed that a total of 4 hybridoma cell lines with anti-PEDV S1 monoclonal antibody were screened,and they were named E6,G3,H6 and F2.The supernatant titers of all 4 hybridoma cell lines reached 1∶6 400.The monoclonal antibody H6 with higher antibody titers and more stable antibody secretion was selected for antibody type identification.It was found that monoclonal antibody H6 belongs to the IgG1 subclass and the light chain is the λ chain.The antibody titers that induced mouse ascites were 1∶106 and without cross-reaction with other proteins.Western blot results showed that the monoclonal antibody exhibited specific bands at 38 kDa with the recombinant S1 protein,PEDV QY2016,and PEDV CV777 strains.The IFA results also showed that the monoclonal antibody reacted with cells infected with PEDV QY2016 and PEDV CV777 strains,exhibiting a green fluo-rescent signal.The affinity constant of monoclonal antibody H6 was K=1.75×107 moL/L,indica-ting that the H6 strain had a good affinity and could be used for the development of subsequent di-agnostic antibodies.In summary,this study successfully prepared monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize PEDV S1 protein,which can be used for the antigen detection of PEDV and providing important test materials for the research of PEDV detection methods.
