Objective To construct a home cardiac rehabilitation program based on mobile healthcare for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)and validate its application effectiveness.Methods Based on the best evidence summary,using the Behavior Change Wheel as a framework,15 experts from relevant fields were invited for the Delphi expert consultation to construct a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program and devel-op an intervention system.Using convenience sampling method,72 patients from a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province from January to March 2024 were selected as research subjects,and the intervention was implemented from June to August 2024.They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group using a random number table method,with 36 cases in each group.The experimental group received a home rehabilitation program based on mobile healthcare on the basis of routine care,while the control group received routine care.The differences in outcome indicators were compared between 2 groups of patients after 12 weeks of intervention.Re-sults The expert authority coefficients for the 2 rounds of Delphi expert inquiry were 0.95,and Kendall's W were 0.591 and 0.414,respectively(P＜0.001).The final draft of the intervention plan includes 6 primary indicators,14 secondary indicators,and 25 tertiary indicators.A total of 70 patients completed the intervention,with 35 in the ex-perimental group and 35 in the control group.Before intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in home cardiac rehabilitation exercise compliance,frailty,and activities of daily living ability between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).After 12 weeks of intervention,the scores of the home-based cardiac rehabilitation exercise adherence scale in the experimental group improved compared to the control group(Z=-7.203,P＜0.001).Conclusion The home reha-bilitation program for TAVR patients based on mobile healthcare is scientific and feasible,and can effectively im-prove patients' exercise compliance with home cardiac rehabilitation.In the future,the rehabilitation program and the system can be continuously optimized in the clinical application to improve patient prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the value of deep-inhaled breath-hold (DIBH)-30s scanning with total-body PET/CT under half-dose injection mode in improving the poor alignment of thoracic and upper abdominal tumors.Methods:Forty-six patients (28 males, 18 females, age (57.3±11.4) years) who underwent half-dose 18F-FDG total-body DIBH-30s PET/CT examination because of suspect or confirmed thoracic and upper abdominal tumors in Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center between October 2022 and February 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. SUV, standard deviation (SD) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the liver and mediastinal blood pool in free breath (FB)-8min, FB-30s and DIBH-30s PET images were measured; SUV of lesions, metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) in DIBH-30s and FB-8min images were also measured; maximum diameter of contraposition offset and offset rate in coronal, transverse and sagittal directions of lesions in DIBH-30s and FB-8min images were calculated. Five-point Likert scale was used to score the overall image quality, image noise level and diagnostic confidence of fused images. Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Nemenyi test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the parameters of different groups. Results:Among the 46 patients, 38 successfully completed breath-holding collection, and 80 lesions were detected, including 37 in the lungs and 43 in the livers. The liver SUV max (3.40(3.15, 3.63), 3.44(3.06, 3.70)) and SD (0.36(0.32, 0.41), 0.35(0.30, 0.40)) in DIBH-30s group and FB-30s group were higher than those (SUV max: 2.73(2.45, 2.92), SD: 0.15(0.13, 0.17)) in FB-8min group ( H values: 49.79, 85.27, χ2 values: 3.26-3.65, all P<0.001). The SUV max and the SD of mediastinal blood pool in DIBH-30s group and FB-30s group were also higher ( H values: 9.31, 59.73, χ2 values: 2.13-2.75, all P<0.01), while SNR liver and SNR med in those 2 groups were lower ( H values: 87.90, 54.11, χ2 values: 3.36-5.47, all P<0.001). The image noise scores of DIBH-30s group and FB-30s group were lower than the score of FB-8min group (3(3, 3) vs 3(3, 4) vs 5(5, 5); H=93.02, χ2 values: 2.13, 2.23, all P<0.001). The overall image quality score and diagnostic confidence score of DIBH-30s group were higher than those of FB-30s group and FB-8min group ( H values: 70.13, 24.22, χ2 values: 2.11-2.48, all P<0.001). The SUV and TBR of lesions in DIBH-30s group were higher than those of FB-8min group ( Z values: from -3.82 to -2.44, all P<0.05), while the MTV, contraposition offset and offset rate were lower than those of FB-8min group ( Z values: from -6.20 to -3.18, all P<0.001). Conclusions:DIBH-30s scanning with total-body PET/CT can make the focus alignment more accurate, which is suitable for short-time collection or low drug administration activity. It has a unique value in improving the poor focus alignment of chest and upper abdomen tumors.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanisms of Wenyang Huazhuo Formula （温阳化浊方， WHF） in improving reproductive aging from the perspective of the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. MethodsThe experiment included five groups， 3-month group （20 female mice at 3 months of age）， 6-month group （20 female mice at 6 months of age）， 6-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 5 months of age treated with WHF）， 9-month group （20 female mice at 9 months of age）， and 9-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 8 months of age treated with WHF）. The 6-month + WHF group and 9-month + WHF group were orally administered WHF 41.2 g/（kg·d） once daily for 4 consecutive weeks. The other three groups received no intervention. Reproductive hormone levels were measured by ELISA. HE staining was used to count the numbers of various stages of follicles. Ovarian hyaluronic acid （HA） content and collagen fiber content were measured to evaluate the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. Superovulation was performed to observe the number of eggs obtained， as well as the number of offspring and birth weight to assess fertility. The in vitro fertilization and blastocyst culture of oocytes from female offspring in each group were observed to evaluate the effect of WHF on offspring reproductive potential. ResultsCompared with the 3-month group， the 6-month group and 9-month group showed significantly decreased serum levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， and luteinizing hormone （LH）， decreased ovarian collagen content， and reduced numbers of primordial and secondary follicles. In contrast， the numbers of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles increased. The levels of anti-Müllerian hormone （AMH）， ovarian HA content， and the fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring were significantly lower （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 6-month group， the 6-month + WHF group showed significantly reduced serum levels of GnRH， FSH， and LH， with a significant decrease in primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles as well as increase of AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， and offspring birth weight （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 9-month group， the 9-month + WHF group exhibited reduced GnRH， FSH， and collagen fiber content， as well as reduced number of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles. However， AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， offspring numbers， birth weight， fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring all significantly increased （P＜0.05）. ConclusionWHF can significantly improve the ovarian reserve， fertility， and reproductive potential in offspring during reproductive mid-life and late-life stages. Its effect may be related to the remodeling of the mechanical microenvironment of aging ovaries. Moreover， the effect on the mechanical microenvironment remodeling of late-stage ovaries and the improvement of the offspring reproductive potential is more significant.

Decreased endometrial receptivity is a critical factor contributing to the decline in fertility among women of advanced age. With the increase of age, the endometrium exhibits diminished hormonal responsiveness, a phenomenon known as inflammaging, and an imbalance in immune cell populations. These changes impede the processes of endometrial epithelial-mesenchymal transition and decidualization, thereby negatively impacting embryo implantation and reducing overall fertility potential. Furthermore, adverse lifestyle choices, exposure to environmental factors, inflammatory conditions, and repeated interventions within the uterine cavity can result in pathological aging of the endometrium that does not align with its chronological age. This misalignment may be associated with the emergence of various reproductive disorders, even in younger women. This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between pathological aging of the endometrium and reproductive disorders, particularly in the context of embryo implantation, with the aim of providing new insights into the pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of reproductive disorders.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the Wenyang Huazhuo Formula on spontaneous pregnancy outcomes in advanced-age infertile patients with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome.Methods:A retrospective cohort study design was employed to gather clinical data from 303 advanced-age infertile patients with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome who sought treatment at the Department of Reproductive Medicine in the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2019 and June 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their treatment regiments: a basic treatment group (non-exposed group, n=151) and a group receiving basic treatment in conjunction with the Wenyang Huazhuo Formula (exposed group, n=152). The study compared and analyzed pregnancy outcomes, including time to pregnancy (TTP) within one year, ongoing pregnancy rate, and clinical pregnancy rate, between the two groups over a one-year follow-up period. Additionally, stratified analyses were performed based on age and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels to evaluate the impact of Wenyang Huazhuo Formula on pregnancy outcomes across different patient subgroups. Results:The TTP in the exposed group was significantly reduced compared with the non-exposed group ( HR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.12-2.57, P=0.013), suggesting a significant shortening of their TTP, and the ongoing pregnancy rate [28.29% (43/152)] and the clinical pregnancy rate [33.55% (51/152)] were significantly higher than those in the non-exposed group [13.91% (21/151), P=0.020; 21.85% (33/151), P=0.023], and the early abortion rate [15.69% (8/51)] was significantly reduced compared with the non-exposed group [36.36% (12/33), P=0.031]. Stratified analyses by age revealed that for patients aged 35-37 years, the exposed group exhibited a significantly shorter TTP ( HR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.03-2.70, P=0.038), while no significant difference in TTP was observed in the 38-44-year old patients ( HR=1.78, 95% CI: 0.77-4.10, P=0.174). Regarding the ongoing pregnancy rate, the exposed group showed a significant higher rate [31.31% (31/99)] than the non-exposed group [13.91% (15/112), P=0.022] among patients aged 35-37 years, whereas no significant difference was observed in the 38-44 years old group ( P=0.386). Stratified analysis based on AMH levels showed that both low AMH levels (<1.68 μg/L) and high AMH levels (≥1.68 μg/L) patients in the exposed group experienced a significant reduction in TTP compared with the non-exposed group ( HR=8.07, 95% CI: 1.04-62.52, P=0.046; HR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.01-2.43, P=0.044, respectively), along with a notable improvement in the ongoing pregnancy rate [13.64% (6/44) vs. 0% (0/29), P=0.038; 34.26% (37/108) vs.17.21% (21/122), P=0.028, respectively]. Further stratified analysis indicated that, compared with patients with low AMH levels, both the exposed group and the non-exposed group of patients with high AMH levels exhibited a significantly shorter TTP ( HR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.02-3.69, P=0.043; HR=9.48, 95% CI: 1.30-69.22, P=0.002, respectively), along with a significantly higher ongoing pregnancy rate ( P=0.014; P=0.008). Conclusion:The Wenyang Huazhuo Formula significantly shortens TTP, enhances both the clinical pregnancy rate and the ongoing pregnancy rate and reduces the early abortion rate in advanced-age infertile women diagnosed with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its composite materials have garnered widespread attention in the field of dental implantology due to their good biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. The low elastic modulus of PEEK, comparable to that of human jawbone, helps to reduce the stress shielding effect around the implant, thereby enhancing the rate of bone integration. This article reviews the latest research progress of PEEK and its composite materials in the field of dental implantation, including the synthesis of materials, surface modification techniques, and applications in implant-abutment-crown complexes and full-arch denture bridges.

Objective:To analyze the effect of influenza vaccination on influenza cluster epidemic in primary and secondary schools in Beijing during the 2023-2024 surveillance season and provide evidence for the improvement of influenza vaccination strategies.Methods:The incidence data of influenza cluster epidemic and influenza vaccination coverage in the schools in Beijing during 2023-2024 were collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze cluster epidemic characteristics, and χ2 test was used to compare incidence differences between groups, and OR value and vaccine effectiveness [VE=(1- OR)×100%] were calculated. A negative binomial regression model was used to evaluate the association between school vaccination rates and cluster epidemic risk. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze trends in relative risk ( RR) with increasing vaccination coverage and to determine the optimal vaccination threshold. Results:A total of 126 influenza cluster epidemic were reported in 115 primary and secondary schools in Beijing during 2023-2024 with the median size of 15 case, the average attack rate was 36.26% (2 033/5 607). The epidemics mainly occurred in urban area (70, 55.56%). Primary schools were the main setting (78, 61.90%), and influenza A(H3N2) was the predominant subtype (108, 85.71%). The overall influenza vaccination coverage in the primary and secondary students was 54.26%, while the average vaccination in classes affected by the epidemics was 58.57%. The overall protection rate was 47.62%, the protection rate was higher in primary schools (49.65%) than in secondary schools (46.60%). The protection rates against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (80.93%) and influenza B (Victoria lineage) (81.65%) were significantly higher than that against influenza A(H3N2) (44.19%). When school vaccination coverage reached ≥76.00%, the epidemic risk decreased by 52.82%.Conclusions:Even the match between influenza vaccine strains and circulating strains is suboptimal, increasing influenza vaccination coverage in schools can effectively reduce the risk for influenza cluster epidemic. In the future, measures such as policy guidance and public health education should be taken to further improve vaccination coverage, thereby establishing herd immunity and reducing the transmission risk of influenza in schools.

Objective:To explore the trend of influenza positive rate in Beijing by using classic autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, autoregressive integrated moving average model with exogenous variables (ARIMAX) and vector autoregression model (VAR) to compare the performance of three models in influenza prediction and select the most suitable one for Beijing.Methods:The weekly positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid test and meteorological data in Beijing from week 1 of 2013 to week 40 of 2024 were collected. The data were divided into four groups with expanding training sets and corresponding testing sets. The training set of the first group was from week 1 of 2013 to week 40 of 2016, and the testing set was from week 41 of 2016 to week 40 of 2017. Subsequent groups extended the training set by one year each time. Data from 2020 to 2023 were excluded due to COVID-19 pandemic. The fourth group used data from the week 1 of 2013 to week 40 of 2023 for training and from the week 41 of 2023 to week 40 of 2024 for testing.Results:The incidence of influenza had seasonality in Beijing with higher incidence in winter and spring. The positive rate of influenza virus was positively correlated with the weekly average atmospheric pressure ( r=0.482, P<0.001) and weekly average wind speed ( r=0.003, P=0.034), and negatively correlated with the weekly average temperature ( r=-0.541, P<0.001). The ARIMAX model incorporating meteorological factors had the best prediction performance, with test set's root mean square error ( RMSE) of 0.115 3 and mean absolute error ( MAE) of 0.076 7 (the RMSE and MAE values for ARIMA and VAR models were 0.117 1 and 0.163 8, and 0.078 6 and 0.122 3, respectively). The prediction results of the optimal model showed that the positive rate of influenza virus would continue to rise in Beijing after October 2024 and reach peak in the second week of 2025, but the peak positive rate would be lower than that of previous influenza season. Conclusions:Compared with the ARIMA model and the VAR model,the ARIMAX model which used meteorological parameters is more suitable for prediction of long-term influenza trend in Beijing. The influenza trend peak was predicted to occur in the second week of 2025, but lower than that in previous influenza season.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of optic disc changes in children and adolescents with high myopia.Methods:A clinical cross-sectional study. A total of 162 children and adolescents with high myopia (162 eyes) who visited Department of Ophthalmology, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from January to April 2025 were included in this study. Myopia refractive error ≥6.00 D and/or axial length (AL) ≥26 mm. All participants underwent best-corrected visual acuity, refraction, fundus color photography, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and AL measurement. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (ChT) was measured within 1 mm using SS-OCT. Optic disc changes assessed included tilt, rotation, peripapillary atrophy (PPA), and peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS). The patients were divided into the children group (4-11 years old) and the adolescents group (12-18 years old) based on age, with 63 (38.9%, 63/162) and 99 (61.1%, 99/162) cases respectively. The incidence of ocular features and optic disc morphology changes in the two groups was compared and observed. According to the myopia diopter, the patients were divided into the high diopter long axial group (myopia diopter ≥6.00 D, AL≥26 mm) and the low diopter long axial group (myopia diopter <6.00 D, AL≥26 mm), with 85 (52.5%, 85/162) and 77 (47.5%, 77/162) eyes respectively. The incidence of optic disc morphological changes in the two groups was compared and observed. The comparison of quantitative data between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the correlations between PPA, optic disc tilt, PHOMS occurrence and gender, age, diopter, AL, and ChT. Results:Among the 162 patients, 103 were male and 59 were female. Age was 12 (10.5, 13.5) years old. Among the 162 eyes, the optic disc morphology changed in 152 eyes (93.8%, 152/162). Among them, the PPA, optic disc tilt, PHOMS, and optic disc rotation were 148 (91.4%, 148/162), 95 (58.6%, 95/162), 62 (38.3%, 62/162), and 35 (21.6%, 35/162) eyes respectively. Myopic macular degeneration in 137 eyes. There were 56 eyes with peripheral retinopathy. There was no statistically significant difference in myopia diopter, AL and ChT between the children group and the adolescent group ( Z=-1.201, -1.934, ?0.761; P=0.230, 0.053, 0.447). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidences of PPA, optic disc tilt and optic disc rotation ( χ2=0.293, 2.618, 0.398; P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of optic disc morphological changes between the low diopter long axial group and the high diopter long axial group ( χ2=0.000, P>0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the thinner the ChT, the higher the risk of PPA [odds ratio (OR) =0.98, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.97-0.99, P<0.001]. Female ( OR=2.3, 95% CI 1.04-5.07, P=0.039), older age ( OR=1.17, 95% CI 1.01-1.37, P=0.043), thinner ChT ( OR=0.99, 95% CI 0.99-1.00, P=0.012), the higher the risk of optic disc tilt. The older the age, the higher the risk of developing PHOMS ( OR=1.22, 95% CI 1.06-1.40, P=0.006). Conclusions:Optic disc morphology changes may be the most common fundus alterations in children and adolescents with high myopia. The influencing factors of optic disc morphological changes (including PPA, optic disc tilt, and PHOMS) are female sex, advanced age, and ChT thinning.
