Objectives:To explore the predictive value of residual Murray's law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)on long-term vessel-oriented composite endpoints(VoCE).Methods:This retrospective study included 3 510 patients from the FAVOR Ⅲ China trial.Offline residual μQFR analysis was performed on all vessels(diameter≥2.5 mm)with 50%-90%stenotic lesions.Patients were stratified into high-,intermediate-,and low-risk groups based on residual μQFR tertiles.The primary endpoint was 3-year VoCE,defined as a composite of cardiac death related to the target vessel,target vessel-related spontaneous myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.Results:Offline analysis was performed on 5 256 vessels from 3 510 patients.The mean residual μQFR was 0.92±0.75.The high-risk group(residual μQFR≤0.91)with 1 554 patients(1 958 vessels);the intermediate-risk group(residual μQFR 0.92-0.96)with 1 211 patients(1 906 vessels);and the low-risk group(residual μQFR>0.96)with 745 patients(1 392 vessels).Over 3-year follow-up,VoCE occurred in 227 vessels(4.3%).The 3-year VoCE incidence was significantly higher in the high-risk group compared to the intermediate-and low-risk groups(6.2%vs.4.1%vs.2.5%,log-rank P<0.001),primarily driven by ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization(5.0%vs.3.0%vs.1.6%,log-rank P<0.001).Hypertension(OR=0.83,95%CI:0.72-0.96),hypercholesterolemia(OR=0.84,95%CI:0.73-0.97),bifurcation lesions(OR=0.72,95%CI:0.63-0.83),moderate/severe calcification(OR=0.70,95%CI:0.57-0.84),and tandem lesions(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.47-0.75)were independent predictors of lower residual μQFR values.Conclusions:Lower residual μQFR is significantly associated with increased VoCE risk during the 3-year follow up period.

This study explored whether Astragalus polysaccharide(APS)can regulate the VEGF/VEGFR signaling pathway to affect the proliferative activity of rat intestinal mucosal microvascu-lar endothelial cells(RIMMVECs).RIMMVECs were isolated from newborn rats,then purified and treated with APS at concentrations of 0.1,1.0,10.0,100.0,1 000.0,and 10 000.0 mg/L.MTT was used to determine the effect of APS on RIMMVECs proliferation and screen for the optimal concentration of APS.Subsequently,flow cytometry was used to detect the changes in cell cycle to evaluate the stage of action of APS on the cell cycle in RIMMVECs.Then,the ELISA was used to detect the changes of VEGFA in cell supernatant to evaluate the potential of cell proliferation and angiogenesis.The changes in fluorescence intensity of Fluo-8AM was observed using fluorescence microscopy to evaluate intracellular Ca2+levels.Finally,Western blot was used to detect the ex-pression of PERK in RIMMVECs to analyze the possible mechanism of APS.The results showed that 100 mg/L APS significantly enhanced the proliferative activity of RIMMVECs,increased the content of VEGFA in the cell supernatant,the intracellular Ca2+levels,and the expression of PERK protein,indicating that APS promotes the proliferation of RIMMVECs,which may be a-chieved by promoting the expression of VEGFA and activating the ERK pathway.

Objective To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of underscreening among cervical cancer screening participants in Wuxiang County,Shanxi Province in 2019,providing evidence-based support for optimizing mobilization strategies.Methods Data from cervical cancer screening programs conducted between 2019 and 2024 in Wuxiang County were retrospectively collected.The follow-up screening behaviors of women screened in 2019 were analyzed,and factors associated with underscreening were identified.Results A total of 3759 women underwent cervical cancer screening in 2019.Among them,492 women(13.09％)with abnormal primary screening results requiring follow-up in 12 months,yet only 43(8.74％)completed;2154 women(57.30％)with negative liquid-based cytology testing(LCT)results needed re-screening after 3 years,701(32.54％)completed;1113 women(29.61％)with negative HPV/combined results needed re-screening after 5 years,734(65.95％)completed.Overall,2299 women(60.69％)exhibited underscreening.Multivariate analysis showed that underscreening was more likely among community residents than rural residents(OR=2.309,P=0.018),older women(OR=1.065,P＜0.001),those in organized screening compared to opportunistic screening(OR=3.789,P＜0.001),those undergoing LCT(OR=4.607,P＜0.001)or combined screening instead of human papillomavirus testing(OR=3.624,P＜0.001),and those with abnormal screening results(OR=6.859,P＜0.001).Conclusion Substantial proportions of cervical cancer screening participants demonstrate poor adherence to guideline-recommended screening intervals,and particularly need to focus on older women and those with abnormal screening results.Implementation of electronic screening record systems and emphasizing knowledge of periodical screening in health education could enhance compliance with"70％screening coverage"target for cervical cancer prevention.

Objective To explore the long-term efficacy of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation(PPVI)and the durability of the domestic self-expanding Venus P valve.Methods A total of 8 patients with post-surgical right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT)dysfunction,who were admitted to hospital from October 2014 to July 2016 and deemed anatomically suitable for PPVI with self-expanding valve,were included prospectively.Clinical,imaging,procedural and follow-up data were analyzed.The survival rates,perioperative and long-term complication rates,long-term efficacy of PPVI,and long-term function of Venus P in 8 patients were evaluated.The immediate procedural results were evaluated by clinical implant success rate,which is defined as successful valve implantation with echocardiography-assessed pulmonary regurgitation＜moderate and peak trans-pulmonary pressure gradient＜40 mmHg.Results A total of 8 patients were included,with 7 females,aged 14 to 36 years.The initial diagnosis included post-surgical Tetralogy of Fallot(5 cases),post-surgical Trilogy of Fallot(1 case),post-surgical Quadricuspid pulmonary valve stenosis(1 case)and post-surgical Double-Outlet Right Ventricle(1 case).The indications of PPVI included RVOT-pulmonary obstruction and regurgitation(1 case)and isolated regurgitation(7 cases).Clinical implant success was achieved in all of the 8 patients with firmly fixed valve,and there were no such complications as valve detachment,displacement or stent fracture.All patients experienced significant symptom relief after the procedure.The right ventricular end-diastolic volume index(RVEDVi)measured by CMR 6 months after PPVI showed a significant decrease compared to preprocedural values[(89.99±13.85)ml/m2 vs.(144.93±11.28)ml/m2,P=0.001].Postoperative pulmonary regurgitation were significantly improved or disappeared in all patients,and there was no statistically significant difference in the average peak pressure gradient measured by echocardiogram between preoperative and the latest follow-up[(23.25±8.39)mmHg vs.(18.75±6.28)mmHg,P=0.210].Over an average follow-up period of(9.25±0.71)years,1 case of infective endocarditis occurred 5 years after PPVI.During the follow-up,no death,deterioration of heart failure,malignant arrhythmia or other serious complications were observed.All patients completed 8-year follow-up,and 3 completed 10-year follow-up.All patients were graded as NYHA functional class one at the latest follow-up.Conclusions PPVI using the domestically produced self-expanding Venus P is safe and feasible for the treatment of patients with post-surgical RVOT dysfunction and suitable anatomy.Our study confirms the long-term efficacy and durability of Venus P from multiple perspectives,and no severe stent fracture occurred without pre-stent implantation in the native RVOT.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of different doses of poractant alfa injection combined with mechanical ventilation in the treatment of children with very low body mass and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS).Methods According to cohort method,children with very low body mass and NRDS were divided into control group and treatment group.On basis of mechanical ventilation,control group were treated with 100 mg·kg-1 poractant alfa injection;treatment group were treated with 200 mg·kg-1 poractant alfa injection.The clinical curative effect,recovery related indexes,ventilation function,blood gas indexes[partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),pH,partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)],inflammatory factors[interleukin(IL)-6,C-reactive protein(CRP)]and complications in the two groups were compared,and the safety was evaluated.Results There were 43 cases in control group and 43 cases in treatment group.After treatment,there was significant difference in total response rate between treatment group and control group[93.02％(40 cases/43 cases)vs 76.74％(33 cases/43 cases),P＜0.05].After treatment,injection frequencies in treatment group and control group were(1.02±0.15)and(1.47±0.50)times,oxygen inhalation time was(90.45±7.31)and(116.72±10.24)h,mechanical ventilation time were(81.27±6.81)and(99.69±9.05)h,hospitalization time was(12.15±2.07)and(16.29±2.53)d,fraction of inspired oxygen were(36.39±4.07)％and(40.54±5.13)％,positive end-expiratory pressure were(3.64±0.53)and(4.05±0.69)cmH2O,peak inspiratory pressure were(20.12±1.45)and(22.69±1.62)cmH2O,PaCO2 were(31.45±4.21)and(37.72±5.06)mmHg,pH were 7.36±0.30 and 7.21±0.27,PaO2 were(83.46±6.45)and(78.58±5.93)mmHg,levels of serum IL-6 were(36.21±4.03)and(54.83±5.69)ng·L-1,CRP levels were(8.03±2.11)and(11.28±3.06)mg·L-1,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).There was significant difference in incidence of complications between treatment group and control group[9.31％(4 cases/43 cases)vs 25.57％(11 cases/43 cases),P＜0.05].The adverse drug reactions were mainly on rash,gastrointestinal dysfunction and irritability in treatment group,while which in control group were rash and gastrointestinal dysfunction.There was no significant difference in total incidence of adverse drug reactions between treatment group and control group[9.30％(4 cases/43 cases)vs 6.98％(3 cases/43 cases),P＞0.05].Conclusion 200 mg·kg-1 poractant alfa injection combined with mechanical ventilation can promote the recovery of children with very low body mass and NRDS,improve ventilation function and blood gas indexes,alleviate inflammatory response and reduce complications,and the safety is good.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion(OLIF)combined with lateral plate fixation in the treatment of single-level adjacent segment disease(ASDis)following lumbar fusion surgery so as to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this surgical approach.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 46 patients with single-level ASDis after lumbar fusion surgery from August 2022 to October 2024.Twenty-three patients underwent OLIF combined with lateral plate fixation(OLIF group),while 23 patients received posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF)(PLIF group).The following parameters were compared between the two groups:operative time,intraoperative blood loss,visual analogue scale(VAS)for pain,Oswestry disability index(ODI),disc height(DH),intervertebral foramen height(IFH),and interbody fusion status.Results All the 46 patients successfully completed surgery for single-level ASDis and were followed up for(13.7±1.1)months.The OLIF group had significantly shorter operative time[(70.7±4.6)min vs.(128.6±12.0)min]and less intraoperative blood loss[(58.6±5.7)mL vs.(313.3±47.5)mL]compared to the PLIF group(all P＜0.05).Both groups showed significant improvements in postoperative lumbar VAS and ODI scores at all follow-up time points compared to preoperative values(P＜0.05).The OLIF group exhibited significantly lower lumbar VAS scores at 3 days and 3 months postoperatively than those of the PLIF group(P＜0.05),and there was no statistical difference in VAS scores at the other follow-up time points(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in postoperative ODI between OLIF group and PLIF group at each time point(P＞0.05).Postoperative DH and IFH were significantly improved in both groups compared to preoperative measurements(P＜0.05).In OLIF group,1 case of transient left thigh numbness resolved with conservative treatment within 2 weeks;1 case of cage subsidence was observed at 1 month postoperatively,achieving fusion without further displacement by 13 months.All the OLIF cases achieved complete fusion(fusion rate:100％).In PLIF group,2 cases of cerebrospinal fluid leakage healed with bed rest,1 case of wound exudation resolved with intensive dressing changes,and 1 case failed to achieve fusion(fusion rate:96％).Conclusion OLIF combined with lateral plate fixation demonstrates satisfactory early clinical outcomes for single-level ASDis after lumbar fusion,with significant advantages in operative efficiency(shorter time plus reduced blood loss)and short-term pain relief.Therefore,it is a safe and effective surgical approach.

Objective:To compare the safety, number of lymph nodes removed, rate of lymph node metastasis, and prognosis between proximal gastrectomy (PG) and total gastrectomy (TG) in patients with Siewert types II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction at Changzhi People's Hospital, affiliated with Changzhi Medical College, between December 2019 and November 2022, were collected. Patients who had received neoadjuvant therapy, had multiple malignant lesions in the stomach, had concomitant malignancies in other organs, had incomplete clinical data, or had been lost to follow-up were excluded. The study cohort comprised 308 patients, 99 in the PG group and 209 in the TG group. To reduce confounding bias, propensity score matching was performed, matching patients for age, sex, body mass index, tumor diameter, and pathological stage in a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 73 patients in each group. The primary outcomes assessed were operative details, number of lymph nodes dissected, rate of lymph node metastasis, postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and follow-up and survival outcomes.Results:The PG group had a significantly shorter median operative time than did the TG group (250 vs. 280 minutes, Z = -4.970, P<0.001), with fewer cases of intraoperative blood loss >100 mL (30.1%[22/73] vs. 46.6%[34/73], χ2=4.171, P=0.041), and a smaller number of lymph nodes removed (median 33 vs. 46, Z =-4.774, P<0.001); all of these differences are statistically significant (all P<0.05). Differences between the two groups in postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found between the PG and TG groups in the number of lymph nodes dissected or the lymph node metastasis rates at stations No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4sa, No. 4sb, and No. 7 (all P> 0.05). Among the 209 patients in the TG group, analysis of risk factors for metastasis to distal perigastric lymph nodes (No.4d, No.5, and No.6) showed that patients with tumor diameters ≤4 cm and T1–T3 stage disease had significantly lower rates of metastasis to these lymph nodes than did patients with tumor diameters >4 cm and/or T4 stage disease (0/78 vs. 12/131 [9.2%]); these differences are statistically significant ( P=0.014). The median duration of follow-up for the entire cohort was 26 months. The 3-year overall survival rates for the PG and TG groups were 62.5% and 63.3%, respectively; this difference is not statistically significant (χ 2=0.330, P = 0.565). Multivariate analysis showed that older age ( P = 0.035) and advanced pathological stage ( P = 0.018) were significant independent risk factors that affected overall survival in patients with Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. Conclusions:PG is safe and feasible for patients with Siewert types II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. The number of lymph nodes dissected and metastasis status were similar in the TG and PG groups.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of Wenshen Chushi Decoction combined with low intensity pulsed ultra-sound(LIPUS)on erectile dysfunction(ED)caused by renal deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome.Methods:One hundred and twenty ED patients were included from the Department of Andrology in the First Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The patients in control group were treated with Wenshen Chushi Decoction.While the patients in observation group were trea-ted with Wenshen Chushi Decoction combined with LIPUS for 8 consecutive weeks.After the treatment,the efficacy was evaluated using the International Index of Erectile Function-5(IIEF-5)score,Penile Flow Index(PFI),Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score,Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)score,and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)score.Safety was also observed.And the ef-ficacy was followed up 4 weeks after the end of treatment.Results:Fifty-seven cases were enrolled into control group finally with 55 cases in the treatment group.After the treatment,all the patients in both of groups showed an improvement in IIEF-5 scores(P＜0.01).Compared with the control group(19.09±2.22),the IIEF-5 score in observation group(20.42±2.39)increased signifi-cantly(P＜0.01).After the treatment,the scores of PFI,TCM syndrome and SDS in both groups decreased(P＜0.01,P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the control group([3.77±1.21],[9.91±1.71]and[39.88±2.63]points),the observation group([2.92±1.08],[4.78±1.45],and[34.51±2.09]points)showed a more significant decrease(P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in total effective rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).During follow-up,the IIEF-5 scores of both groups of patients were higher than those before(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and the observation group score was higher than that in the control group([17.15±3.37]vs[13.63±1.96],P＜0.01).No adverse reaction and abnormality of indicators occurred in both of two groups.Conclusion:Wenshen Chushi Decoction has a significant therapeutic effect on ED caused by renal deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome.It can not only improve the quality of erection,but also improve the physical and mental symptoms associated with ED,which makes therapeutic effect lasting longer.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for mortality and bleeding complications in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)treated patients and to evaluate the impact of thrombocytopenia severity on the prognosis of ECMO therapy.Methods A total of 153 patients who received ECMO treatment at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2013 and September 2024 were en-rolled in this study.The patients were divided into death group(n=97)and recovery group(n=56)based on their final outcomes.Additionally,the patients were categorized into bleeding group(n=104)and non-bleeding group(n=49)based on the occurrence of bleeding complications during ECMO.Clinical baseline characteristics and extreme laboratory values during ECMO were compared be-tween groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for mortality and bleeding.The patients were further divided,based on the initial platelet(PLT)values on the day of catheter placement and the lowest platelet count during ECMO,into normal group(PLT≥ 100× 109/L),moderate reduction group[PLT=(50～99)× 109/L],and severe reduction group(PLT＜50× 109/L).Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare survival rates among these groups.The patients in the moderate and severe reduction groups were further divided into a platelet transfusion group and a non-transfusion group,and the outcomes and complication rates were com-pared.Results The recovery group had a higher proportion of myocarditis,higher minimum values of PLT,Hb,and Fib,and higher initial PLT values,while the maximum values of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH),total bilirubin(T-Bil),prothrombin time(PT),and procalcitonin(PCT)were lower(all P＜0.05)with significant differences.Logistic regression showed that age and maximum PCT were independent risk factors for mortality(OR=1.025 and 1.015 respectively,all P＜0.05).The bleeding group had longer ECMO dura-tions,more plasma transfusions,lower minimum Hb values,and higher maximum values of WBC,neutrophils(Neu),and APTT(all P＜0.05)with statistical differences.The minimum PLT value,maximum WBC value,and maximum APTT value were independent risk factors for bleeding complications(OR=0.986,1.062,and 1.004 respectively,all P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients in the severe reduction group had lower survival rates,regardless of whether the grouping was based on initial or minimum platelet counts(all P＜0.05).Platelet transfusion improved the mortality in the severe reduction group(P＜0.05)but had no effect on the moderate reduction group.Conclusion Age and peak value of PCT are the risk factors for mortality in ECMO patients,while mini-mum PLT count,peak value of WBC and APTT are the risk factors for bleeding complications.Early intervention for infection and in-flammation during ECMO may improve the outcome of patients.Severe thrombocytopenia during ECMO therapy increased the risk of mortality,and targeted platelet transfusion may improve the survival of these patients.

Objective To investigate the anesthesia effects of different concentrations of sevoflurane combined with propofol during primary liver cancer resection surgery,as well as the changes in immune function in patients.Methods Using single-blind method,120 cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Military Medical University from January 2023 to September 2023 were prospectively selected as the study subjects,and the patients were randomly(using the randomized numerical table method)included in the control group(60 cases)and the observation group(60 cases).During hepatic cancer resection,the control group was given 0.5 alveolar minimum effective concentration(MAC)sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia,and the observation group was given 1.0 MAC sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia,and both groups were observed for 3 d postoperatively.The perioperative related indexes,the sedation and quality of awakening in the immediate moment of extubation,15 min after extubation,and 30 min after extubation,the cognitive function before and at 1 and 3 d postoperatively,vital signs before induction of anesthesia,after induction of anesthesia,at the moment of intubation,at the end of surgery,immune function before and 1 d postoperative,and adverse reactions during the observation period were compared between the two groups.Results The time for extubation,recovery of spontaneous respiration,recovery of orientation,and awakening in the observation group were(11.25±1.69)min,(9.76±1.34)min,(69.23±3.35)min,and(10.13±1.43)min,and the control group were(14.57±2.28)min,(13.55±2.76)min,(73.44±4.52)min,(14.26±2.25)min,all of which were shorter in the observation group than in the control group(P＜0.05).The Ramsay sedation score at the immediate moment of extubation was(4.16±0.22)in the observation group,and(3.21±0.10)in the control group;the standardized(Aldrete)score in the awakening room of the observation group at the immediate moment of extubation,and 15 min after extubation were(9.56±0.12)and(9.77±0.20),respectively,and the control group was(9.02±0.13),respectively,(9.05±0.17)points;the scores of the brief mental state examination(MMSE)scale in the observation group were(26.23±1.12)points and(25.17±0.98)points in the control group in the 1 d postoperative period,which were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The heart rate(HR)at the moment of intubation and at the end of operation in the observation group were(73.08±4.10)beats/min,(75.27±6.03)beats/min,and the mean arterial pressure(MAP)was(81.56±4.49)mmHg and(86.07±5.48)mmHg,respectively,and in the control group the HR was(75.47±5.78)beats/min,(77.91±6.79)beats/min,and the MAP was(85.22±5.08)mmHg and(88.25±6.01)mmHg in the observation group,respectively,which were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The whole blood natural killer(NK)cells,CD4+and CD4+/CD8+in the observation group at 1 d postoperatively were(35.62±5.54)％,(50.09±3.32)％,and(1.42±0.25),the control group were(24.12±4.09)％,(43.17±4.20)％,and(1.20±0.19),the observation group was higher than the control group(P＜0.05);whole blood CD8+was(26.55±3.02)％in the observation group and(28.71±4.45)％in the control group,the observation group was lower than the control group(P＜0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions during the observation period was 16.67％in the observation group and 5.00％in the control group,which was higher than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with 0.5 MAC sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia,1.0 MAC sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia had less effect on hemodynamics and immune function in patients undergoing resection for primary hepatocellular carcinoma,and it could improve the quality of patients'awakening,cognitive function,and promote postoperative recovery,and the anesthesia was more effective,but it had more adverse effects.
