In recent years, the prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease has continued to rise. Despite the widespread application of strategies such as intensive pharmacotherapy, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention, a subset of patients still experience recurrent angina symptoms, which severely impacts their quality of life. For such cases of refractory angina (RA), researchers domestically and internationally have explored therapeutic approaches such as spinal cord stimulation, transmyocardial laser revascularization, and sympathectomy. However, existing studies are largely limited to small-scale clinical trials, and their clinical translation still faces challenges due to insufficient validation of safety and efficacy. Injectable hydrogels, as functional materials with hydrophilic three-dimensional network structures, demonstrate unique advantages in the treatment of RA. They can not only provide mechanical support but also serve as controlled-release carriers for drugs and proteins, and synergize with gene therapy and stem cell therapy to promotemyocardial tissue repair. This article systematically reviews the application prospects of injectable hydrogels in the treatment of RA, aiming to provide insights for future therapeutic strategies.

Objectives:To investigate the prognostic difference of different revascularization strategies in AMI patients with multi-vessel disease and diabetes.Methods:AMI patients with multi-vessel disease and diabetes admitted to the Department of Cardiology of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively included.Patients were divided into non complete revascularization(NCR)group(n=166),staged complete revascularization(SCR)group(n=152)and immediate complete revascularization(ICR)group(n=120).Baseline clinical characteristics,coronary angiography data and postoperative medication were compared among the groups.Primary endpoint was the major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(MACCE)during follow-up.MACCE includes all-cause mortality,cardiogenic mortality,non-fatal myocardial infarction,unplanned revascularization and stroke.The log-rank test was used to analyze the significance of the differences in the cumulative incidence of MACCE among the three groups.Cox regression was used to explore the influencing factors of poor prognosis in patients.Results:There were statistically significant differences among NCR group,SCR group and ICR group in terms of the history of previous percutaneous coronary intervention,the use of intraoperative coronary intravascular ultrasound(IVUS)and the dosage of contrast agent(all P<0.05).During a median follow-up of 21(11,25)months,MACCE events occurred in 59 cases(35.5%)in the NCR group,26 cases(17.1%)in the SCR group,and 30 cases(25.0%)in the ICR group.The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the differences in the cumulative incidence of MACCE among the three groups were statistically significant(log-rank P<0.001).Using the Bonferroni correction(adjusted α′=0.05/3≈0.0167),pairwise comparisons revealed statistically significant differences between the NCR and SCR groups(log-rank P<0.001)and between the NCR and ICR groups(log-rank P=0.011).However,no statistically significant difference was observed between the SCR and ICR groups(log-rank P=0.228).Cox multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that history of hypertension was an independent risk factor for MACCE in AMI patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and diabetes(HR=1.71,95%CI:1.10-2.64,P<0.05).The difference in the incidence of MACCE between the SCR group and the NCR group was statistically significant(HR=0.45,95%CI:0.28-0.73,P=0.001).Conclusions:Staged complete revascularization serves as the preferred revascularization strategy for AMI patients with multivessel coronary disease and diabetes mellitus.Additionally,for patients with concomitant hypertension,blood pressure management should be intensified to reduce the risk of MACCE.

Artificial intelligence (AI) integrated with time-lapse (TL) imaging for embryo selection significantly minimizes subjectivity and workload in traditional methods, marking a pivotal advancement in the realm of assisted reproductive technology. This review comprehensively summarizes the representative studies conducted in recent years within these domains and delves into the application of AI combined with TL imaging for embryo selection from three perspectives: data selection, model selection, and model evaluation. While AI research has yet to fully achieve automated embryo selection, it has already commenced assisting embryologists in annotating and selecting embryos to a considerable extent, thereby reducing subjective discrepancies and easing the workload. Existing software for oocyte quality scoring, embryo ploidy prediction, and transfer outcome forecasting has exhibited promising performance in studies. However, there remains an ongoing need for the development of high-quality datasets and the conduct of prospective, multicenter studies with large sample sizes across diverse devices. The evolution of AI combined with TL imaging in the field of embryo selection merits heightened attention from both clinicians and embryologists.

Objective:To explore the application effect of health education path management model based on cloud platform in the perioperative period of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and analyze the feasibility of innovative education forms.Methods:Adopting a non synchronous historical control study design.A total of 291 patients who underwent transcatheter radiofrequency ablation in Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital from January to June 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. To avoid contamination of research subjects by grouping them according to admission time, 144 patients admitted from January to March 2023 were used as the control group, and 147 patients admitted from April to June 2023 were used as the intervention group.The control group adopted the traditional health education method, and the intervention group adopted the health education path management mode based on the cloud platform.The postoperative recovery (length of hospital stay, time out of bed, surgical complications), the first postoperative bed urination, the degree of health knowledge related to atrial fibrillation, and the patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:There were 101 males and 43 females in the control group, was (61.74 ± 10.63) years old, and 103 males and 44 females in the intervention group, was (62.93 ± 8.79) years old.After the intervention, the hospitalization time of the intervention group was (4.25 ± 1.00) days, which was shorter than that of the control group (6.23 ± 1.16) days, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.92, P<0.05). The time of getting out of bed after operation in the intervention group was (6.69 ± 0.84) hours, which was earlier than that in the control group (12.69 ± 1.51) hours, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=25.68, P<0.05). There were 134 cases of no complications in the intervention group and 9 cases of subcutaneous hematoma, 2 cases of medical viscose-related skin injury, 1 case of pneumothorax/hemothorax, and 1 case of acute cerebrovascular event occurred, there were 113 cases of no complications in the intervention group, which had 16 cases of subcutaneous hematoma, 2 cases of medical viscose-related skin injury, 11 cases of pneumothorax/hemothorax, and 2 cases of acute cerebrovascular event, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=12.38, P<0.05). There were 119 cases of spontaneous urination, 17 cases of dysuria and 11 cases of urinary retention in the intervention group, which were lower than 100 cases of spontaneous urination, 13 cases of dysuria and 31 cases of urinary retention in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=11.68, P <0.05). Score of the health knowledge score of AF in the intervention group was (21.49 ± 0.16) points, which was higher than the control group's score of (18.30 ± 0.20) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=12.50, P<0.05). The satisfaction of intervention group's score was (20.12 ± 1.93) points, which was higher than the control group's score of (15.10 ± 3.13) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=16.51, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of the health education path management model based on cloud platform in the perioperative period of patients with atrial fibrillation is conducive to promoting the rapid recovery of patients after surgery, improving their mastery of disease-related knowledge and satisfaction with health education, and has certain feasibility in clinical nursing health education.

Objective: To evaluate the incremental vaccine effectiveness (VE) of two dose of the mumps containing vaccine (MuCV) in chidren, so as to provide a basis for optimizing mumps immunization strategies. Methods: A 1∶2 frequency matched case-control study was conducted by using reported mumps cases in childcare centers or schools from Lu an, Hefei, Ma anshan and Huainan cities of Anhui Province from September 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, as a case group(383 cases). And healthy children in the same classroom were selected as a control group(766 cases). The MuCV immunization histories of participants were collected to estimate the incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV against mumps. Group comparisons were performed using the Chi square test or t-test. For matched case-control pairs, the Cox regression model was employed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for two dose MuCV vaccination and to estimate the incremental vaccine effectiveness (VE). Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the case and control groups regarding gender, age, dosage of MuCV vaccination and the time interval since the last dose vaccination( χ 2/t=0.05, 0.20, 0.94, -0.02, P >0.05). The proportions of the case and control groups vaccinated with two doses of MuCV were 26.63% and 29.37%, respectively, and the overall incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV was 40.73% (95% CI=3.03%-63.77%, P <0.05). Subgroup analyses revealed that the incremental VE for children with a period of ≥1 year between the two doses of MuCV was 54.13% (95% CI=1.90%-78.56%, P <0.05), while for children with a period of <1 year, it was 30.63% (95% CI=-28.59%-62.58%, P >0.05). The incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV was 30.36% (95% CI=-25.95%-61.50%, P >0.05) in kindergarten children and 66.73% (95% CI=14.92%-86.99%, P <0.05) in elementary and secondary school students. The incremental VE was 28.78% (95% CI=-27.46%-60.21%, P >0.05) within five years of the last dose of MuCV vaccination and 66.07% (95% CI=-41.56%-91.87%, P >0.05) for vaccinations administered beyond five years. Conclusions The second dose of MuCV may offer additional protection for children; however, extending the interval between two dose of MuCV (<1 year) has shown limited incremental protective effects. Therefore, it is crucial to consider optimizing current immunization strategies for mumps.
