OBJECTIVES: Atrial fibrillation (AF) contributes to stroke development and progression. We aimed to quantify the mediating role of AF in the causal associations between a wide range of risk factors and stroke via a Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. METHODS: We assessed the associations of 108 traits with stroke and its subtypes in a 2-sample univariable MR approach, then conducted a bidirectional MR analysis between these 108 traits and AF to evaluate the presence and direction of their causal associations. Finally, to further investigate the extent to which AF mediated the effects of eligible traits on stroke, we applied multivariable and 2-step MR techniques in a mediation analysis where outcomes were restricted to stroke types causally affected by AF (any stroke [AS], any ischemic stroke [AIS], and cardioembolic stroke [CES]). RESULTS: Among 108 traits, 42 were putatively causal for at least 1 stroke type; of these 42 traits, 20 that had no bidirectional relationship with AF were retained. Finally, 33 associations of 15 eligible traits were examined in the mediation analysis. The mediation analyses for AS, AIS, and CES each included 11 eligible traits. After AF adjustment, the direct effects of all traits on CES were attenuated to null (all p>0.05), while the associations with AS and AIS persisted for most traits (AF-mediated proportion: from 6.6% [95% confidence interval, 2.7 to 0.6] to 52.0% [95% confidence interval, 39.8 to 64.3]). CONCLUSIONS The causal associations between all eligible traits and CES were largely mediated through AF, while most traits affected AS and AIS independently of AF.

ObjectiveTo investigate the deafness genetic mutation spectrum in nonsyndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) associated with enlarged vestibular aqueducts (EVA). MethodsFrom October, 2015 to August, 2016, 85 patients with NSHI from Hubei Yichang Special Education School were examined with temporal bone CT, and 20 deafness-related gene mutations in GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 and mtDNA 12S rRNA were detected with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. ResultsA total of 31 patients were found EVA with temporal bone CT. Compared with non-EVA patients, the proportion of deafness-related gene mutations was more in patients with EVA (χ² = 11.160, P = 0.001), especially for c.919-2A>G mutation of SLC26A4 (χ² = 23.870, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe deafness gene mutation spectrum is different in NSHI patients with or without EVA. It is needed to optimize genetic testing scheme for deafness for early diagnosis and intervention of NSHI associated with EVA.

Myocardial infarction (MI) has the characteristics of high mortality rate, strong suddenness and invisibility. There are problems such as the delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in clinical practice. Electrocardiogram (ECG) examination is the simplest and fastest way to diagnose MI. The research on MI intelligent auxiliary diagnosis based on ECG is of great significance. On the basis of the pathophysiological mechanism of MI and characteristic changes in ECG, feature point extraction and morphology recognition of ECG, along with intelligent auxiliary diagnosis method of MI based on machine learning and deep learning are all summarized. The models, datasets, the number of ECG, the number of leads, input modes, evaluation methods and effects of different methods are compared. Finally, future research directions and development trends are pointed out, including data enhancement of MI, feature points and dynamic features extraction of ECG, the generalization and clinical interpretability of models, which are expected to provide references for researchers in related fields of MI intelligent auxiliary diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the association between mild cognitive impairment(MCI)and the risk of all-cause death among community middle-aged and older adults, and to provide evidence for early identification of high-risk populations.Methods:From September to November 2011, the residents aged 55 years and middle-aged and older in five urban communities were selected as the research objects by typical sampling method.The baseline survey of general information questionnaire, Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE), activity of daily Living Scale(ADL), Geriatric Depression Scale(SDS)was carried out and the physical examination was performed.Mild cognitive impairment at the time of enrollment was the exposure factor.In 2017, 2019 and 2021, Deaths were followed up through home visits and search for death surveillance information systems.COX regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for death.Results:A total of 1046 participants completed the follow-up and were included in the study.The baseline age was(66.4±6.6)years, and 199(19.0%)of them met the criteria for MCI.The average follow-up time was 112±16 months.During the follow-up period, 106 deaths were observed.The mortality rate was higher in participants with MCI(40 deaths, 21.1%)than those without MCI [(66 deaths, 10.1%), χ2=26.80, P<0.001)]. Participants with MCI had a shorter median survival time than those without MCI[(108.0±1.5) vs.(113.0±0.5)months, χlog-rank2=28.02, P<0.001]using the Kaplan-Meier method.Controlling for gender, age, and ethnicity, the Cox regression model revealed that MCI is associated with an increased risk of all-cause death( HR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.30-3.02, P=0.023). Conclusions:Mild cognitive impairment is an independent risk factor for all-cause death among community older adults.Early identification and intervention of MCI may have potential value in preventing premature death and prolonging life in middle-aged and older adults.

Objective To create a recombinant rabies virus overexpressing IL-33 and to clarify the effect of IL-33 overexpression on the phenotypic characteristics of recombinant virus in vitro. Methods The IL-33 gene was obtained and amplified from the brain of a highly virulent strain of rabies infected mouse. It was then inserted between the G and L genes of the parental virus LBNSE genome by reversing genetic manipulation and rescuing a recombinant virus overexpressing IL-33. BSR cells or mouse NA cells were infected with recombinant rabies virus (rLBNSE-IL33) and the parental strain LBNSE. Sequencing and fluorescent antibody virus neutralization assay was employed to detect the stability of recombinant virus at multiplicity of infection=0.01. Viral titres focal forming units (FFU) were detected to plot multi-step growth curves (multiplicity of infection=0.01). Cytotoxicity assay kit was used to detect cellular activity. ELISA was adopted to identify the IL-33 in the supernatant of infected cells of different multiplicity of infection. Results Rescued rLBNSE-IL33 overexpressing IL-33 remained stable for at least 10 consecutive generations and had virus titers of approximately 10⁸ FFU/mL. rLBNSE-IL33 was able to express IL-33 at high levels in a dose-dependent manner, but no high expression of IL-33 was detected in the supernatant of cells infected by LBNSE. Examination of the titers of rLBNSE-IL33 and the parental strain LBNSE in BSR and NA cells over 5 days showed no significant differences and similar kinetic properties in growth. Overexpression of IL-33 had no significant effect on the proliferation and activity of infected cells. Conclusion Overexpression of IL-33 does not significantly affect the phenotypic characteristics of recombinant rabies virus in vitro.
