Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum soluble lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1(sLOX-1)and chitinase-3-like protein 1(CHI3L1)for in-stent restenosis(ISR)in pa-tients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and myocardial bridge after anterior descending stent implantation.Methods A total of 80 patients with CHD and myocardial bridge who underwent anterior descending stent implantation in a hospital from May 2018 to May 2023 were included as the disease group.They were followed up for one year after surgery and separated into ISR group(n=31)and non ISR group(n=49)based on whether ISR occurred on coronary angiography examination.Another 80 CHD patients who received treatment in a hospital were selected as the control group.The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 were detected by en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge,and to analyze the predictive value of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 for the occurrence of ISR after anterior de-scending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in the disease group increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in the ISR group were high-er than those in the non-ISR group,and the distance of the myocardial bridge proximal to the stent was lower than that in the non-ISR group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Serum sLOX-1,CHI3L1,and the distance of the myocardial bridge proximal to the stent were the influencing factors for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardi-al bridge(P<0.05).The area under the curve of the combined prediction of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD complicated with my-ocardial bridge was superior to their individual predictions(Zcombination-sLOX-1=2.502,Zcombination-CHI3L1=2.028,P=0.012,0.043).Conclusion The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge are significantly increased.The combined detection of the two has certain predictive value for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of norovirus and the correlation between norovirus infection and stool traits and clinical symptoms in children with acute gastroenteritis during 2021-2022.Method:A total of 2 195 anal swab samples were collected from cases of acute gastroenteritis in Beijing Children 's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022. PCR fluorescent probe assay was performed to detect norovirus，the clinical information and test results were performed by statistical analysis. Results:The detection rate of norovirus was 19.09%（419/2 195）in 2 195 children. The detection rates of male and female were 17.80%（244/1 371）and 21.24%（175/824），respectively，with statistically significant differences between genders（ χ2=3.945, P<0.05）. The positivity rate of noroviruses was higher in aged 1 month to 3 years［29.09%（64/220）~40.69%（94/231）］，especially in 1 year［40.69%（94/231）］. The norovirus detection rate ranged from 2.44%（2/82）to 35.84%（62/173）in different months，with a high detection rate between January and March，higher in the winter and spring［28.36%（150/529），21.07%（146/693）］，showing a clear seasonal distribution.Clinical symptoms of both vomiting and diarrhea were significantly more common among norovirus positive than negative children，the difference was statistically significant（ χ2=57.29, P<0.05）. Conclusion:In the high incidence season of winter and spring，for infants and young children aged 1 month to 3 years with diarrhea accompanied by vomiting symptoms，especially those aged 1 year，it is recommended to undergo norovirus related testing in time. Early treatment and isolation measures should be taken for diagnosed children to reduce cross infection and prevent outbreaks.

Objective:To investigate the related risk factors of surgical appendectomy after endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) in children.Methods:From September 2019 to November 2023 at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University,the data from all related children with appendectomy after ERAT were analyzed. The general situation and main clinical manifestations of the children were collected. According to the effect of ERAT,the patients were divided into transfer to surgical group and appendicitis recurrence group by the reasons and time of transfer to surgical treatment. The indexes such as ERAT and reoperation process and pathological types of appendix after operation were collected,and the clinical experience was summarized.Results:Among the 242 children who underwent ERAT,32 cases underwent appendectomy again,including 19 males and 13 females,with an average age of（9.16±2.77）years,and the reoperation rate was 13.2%. The clinical manifestation was abdominal pain (32 cases,100.0%),mainly right lower abdominal pain (28 cases,87.5%),and the main duration was less than 3 months (30 cases,93.8%). Abdominal ultrasound or CT before ERAT mainly indicated appendicitis (11 cases,34.4%) and appendicitis complicated with appendiceal calculus (11 cases,34.4%). There were 9 children in transferred to surgical group,of which 5 cases were transferred to surgery because of ERAT intubation failure,and 4 cases were transferred to surgery because of appendix perforation or abscess. Postoperative pathology showed acute suppurative appendicitis in 5 cases and acute gangrenous appendicitis in 4 cases. There were 23 children in appendicitis recurrence group,whose abdominal pain was relieved after ERAT,but their symptoms were repeated after discharge. After clinical evaluation,they were diagnosed as recurrent appendicitis and underwent surgical appendectomy. Most of them were reoperated within 6 months after ERAT (21 cases,91.3%).Postoperative pathology was mainly chronic appendicitis (10 cases,43.5%).Conclusion:Acute suppurative appendicitis and acute gangrenous appendicitis are prone to catheterization or endoscopic failure during ERAT,and there is a high risk of surgical transfer. ERAT may relieve the symptoms of chronic appendicitis in children. If the symptoms are repeated,surgery is still needed to remove the appendix.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Objective　To explore the effect of Mp1p on host macrophages through transcriptomics combined with metabolomics. Methods Firstly, a THP-1 macrophage strain (THP-1-Mp1p+) stably expressing Mp1p was constructed using lentivirus. Secondly, using high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA Seq) technology, the expression level of intracellular mRNA was detected in transcriptomics analysis to determine differentially expressed genes; In metabolomics analysis, metabolite identification was performed through database comparison, and pathway analysis was performed on differential metabolites to reveal potential mechanisms of action. Finally, the results of metabolomics and transcriptomics were combined for analysis, and differential metabolites and genes were analyzed to further elucidate the mechanism of action of Mp1p on macrophages. Results Transcriptome analysis showed that, compared with the negative control group, the THP-1-Mp1p+ group had a total of 1 180 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 345 upregulated genes and 835 downregulated genes. GO enrichment analysis of DEGs showed that there were 135 differentially expressed genes, including 105 in biological processes (BP), 28 in cellular components (CC), and 2 in molecular functions (MF). The KEGG analysis results showed that the effect of Mp1p on THP-1 macrophages was highly correlated with the TNF pathway. The metabolomic analysis found that both the blank control group and the THP-1-Mp1p+ macrophage group achieved good separation between QC samples in both positive and negative ion modes. The threshold for significant differential metabolites was set at: VIP≥1 and T-test P<0.05, resulting in the identification of 488 differential metabolites, with 230 in the positive ion mode and 258 in the negative ion mode. Pathway enrichment analysis of the identified metabolites pointed to significant enrichment in metabolic pathways. The combined analysis confirmed that the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, interleukin-17 signaling pathway, and NF-kappaB signaling pathway were important metabolic pathways involved. Conclusions The virulence factor Mp1p may affect host macrophages by modulating the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, interleukin-17 signaling pathway, and NF-kappaB signaling pathway. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of Mp1p and may offer potential directions for the selection of relevant diagnostic and therapeutic targets in the future.

Background Currently,the diagnosis of depressive disorder relies on symptomatology,which is greatly influenced by subjective factors such as clinicians' experience.Finding more accurate and reliable quantitative diagnostic methods is currently an urgent problem.Objective To explore the value of Fisher discriminant function based on inflammatory cytokines in the diagnosis of depressive disorder,so as to provide references for clinical diagnosis.Methods A total of 136 patients diagnosed with depressive disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,fifth edition(DSM-5)criteria,who underwent inpatient treatment at Hebei Mental Health Center from April 2020 to November 2020,were enrolled as study group.67 healthy participants matched for age and gender,was recruited during the same period.Serum levels of inflammatory cytokine were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Fisher discriminant model was employed to establish a discriminant function for inflammatory cytokines exhibiting significant statistical differences between study group and control group,which was then validated.Results The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interferon-γ(INF-γ)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were higher in the study group compared with control group,with statistically significant differences(U=9.115,5.239,4.431,5.428,P<0.01).Conversely,the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-10(IL-10)and interleukin-13(IL-13)were lower in the study group compared with control group,with statistically significant differences(U=7.398,7.331,7.614,P<0.01).The retrospective test in Fisher discriminant function achieved a correct discrimination rate of 89.66%,and the cross validation achieved a correct discrimination rate of 88.67%.Conclusion The Fisher discriminant function developed in this study may serve as a valuable auxiliary method in the diagnosis of depressive disorder.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Edaravone and dexborneol(Eda.B)on oxidative stress pathway in peripheral blood of elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 87 elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke in the Department of Neurology, Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital from July 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects.According to the random number table, they were divided into control group(44 cases)and edaravone dexborneol group(43 cases). Each group was divided into <12 h group, 12-24 h group and 24-48 h group according to the time of onset.Peripheral blood was collected in each group at admission and discharge, respectively.The serum levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS), Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1(Keap1), nuclear factor-E2-associated factor 2(Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1(HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6), as well as superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialdehyde(MDA)content were detected.Results:Elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke receving Eda.B treatment after admission could reduce the serum concentration of ROS, TNF-α and IL-6, as well as MDA content, and increase the concentration of Keap1, Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1 and SOD activity.Except for ROS concentration in <12 h group and SOD activity in <12 h and 12 h-24 h groups, the differences between the other groups were statistically significant( P<0.05 for all). Compared with the control group, the serum concentration of TNF-α and IL-6 of patients in the Eda.B group at discharge decreased, while the concentration of Nrf2(24-48 h group)and HO-1(24-48 h group), and SOD activity increased, the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05 for all). In the control group at discharge, the concentrations of ROS(24-48 h group), TNF-α(<12 h group, 24-48 h group)and IL-6, as well as MDA content decreased, while the concentrations of Keap1, Nrf2(<12 h group, 12-24 h group)and HO-1(<12 h group, 12-24 h group)increased, the differences were also statistically significant( P<0.05 for all). Compared with admission, the concentration of Keap1(24-48 h group)and HO-1(24-48 h group), the activity of SOD(<12 h group, 12-24 h group)increased and the content of MDA(12-24 h group)in the Eda.B group decreased at discharge( P<0.05 for all). Conclusions:Eda.B can reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response in peripheral blood of elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke by acting on the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway.

Objective:To explore the guiding effect of peripheral perfusion index (PI) on fluid resuscitation in patients with septic shock.Methods:Sixty-five patients with septic shock who were diagnosed according to relevant criteria of septic shock and admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from September 2017 to December 2020 were included. Patients were divided into the conventional treatment group (30 cases) and PI guidance group (35 cases) by random number method. Both groups of patients were treated with the bundle according to clinical guidelines. Sputum, urine and blood were collected for pathogenic microorganism culture before the application of antibiotics, and vasoactive drugs were given. Both groups need to achieve all the following resuscitation goals within 6 hours: urine output > 0.5 mL·kg -1·h -1, mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg (1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa), central venous pressure (CVP) was 8-12 mmHg, and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2) ≥ 0.70. There was no further resuscitation in the conventional treatment group after the goals were achieved. In addition to these four goals, the PI guidance group was expected to achieve PI≥ 1.4. Heart rate (HR), CVP, MAP, ScvO 2, blood lactic acid (Lac), the time of fluid negative balance, intensive care unit (ICU) mortality and 28-day mortality between the two groups were compared before and after 6 hours of fluid resuscitation. Results:Before fluid resuscitation, there were no statistically significant differences in all indicators between two groups. After 6 hours fluid resuscitation, the four treatment goals in PI guidance group were slightly lower than those of the conventional treatment group [HR (times/min): 96.5±12.1 vs. 97.7±7.9, MAP (mmHg): 83.2±6.2 vs. 82.1±7.5, ScvO 2: 0.661±0.077 vs. 0.649±0.051, CVP (mmHg): 10.8±2.7 vs. 10.4±2.1], there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05); the Lac level of the PI guidance group after resuscitation was lower than that of the conventional treatment group, and the difference was statistically significant (mmol/L: 4.8±1.3 vs. 5.9±1.4, P < 0.05); the duration of fluid negative balance in the PI guidance group was earlier than that in the conventional treatment group [days: 3.0 (2.0, 3.0) vs. 3.5 (3.0, 4.0), P < 0.05]. The ICU mortality and 28-day mortality in the PI guidance group were lower than those in the conventional treatment group [ICU mortality rate: 37.1% (13/35) vs. 50.0% (15/30), 28-day mortality rate: 57.1% (20/35) vs. 60.0% (18/30)], but the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). Conclusions:The peripheral PI can be used as an important indicator of fluid resuscitation in patients with septic shock. PI guiding fluid resuscitation in patients with septic shock can reduce Lac levels, shorten the duration of fluid negative balance and reduce the risk of fluid overload.
