Objective To understand the current status of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) control in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent isolated CABG in Beijing Anzhen Hospital in 2023 were collected. All patients returned to our hospital approximately one year after surgery (10-13 months) for a lipid level recheck. We analyzed their LDL-C attainment status and influencing factors. Patients were categorized into two groups based on whether their LDL-C met the target: a LDL-C attainment group and a LDL-C non-attainment group. Results This study included 1456 patients who underwent CABG, including 320 females and 1136 males, with an average age of (61.41±9.12) years. One year post-surgery, 234 patients achieved the LDL-C target, with an attainment rate of 16.07%. The proportion of patients in the LDL-C attainment group who were ultra-high risk (77.35% vs. 92.06%, P＜0.001), female (16.24% vs. 23.08%, P=0.021), and those with comorbid hypertension (55.98% vs. 63.18%, P=0.038) was significantly lower than those in the LDL-C non-attainment group. Additionally, the baseline body mass index (BMI) [(25.37±3.24) kg/m2 vs. (26.03±3.56) kg/m2, P=0.017], total cholesterol levels [(3.30±0.84) mmol/L vs. (4.01±1.03) mmol/L, P＜0.001], LDL-C [(1.62±0.63) mmol/L vs. (2.25±0.85) mmol/L, P＜0.001], and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [(0.98±0.26) mmol/L vs. (1.02±0.24) mmol/L, P=0.049] upon admission in the attainment group were all lower than those in the non-attainment group. Moreover, the lipid-lowering drug usage rate in the attainment group (100.00% vs. 96.24%, P=0.003) and the proportion using two types of drugs together (25.21% vs. 10.72%, P＜0.001) were both higher than those in the non-attainment group, while the statin monotherapy rate was lower than that in the non-attainment group (74.79% vs. 85.19%, P＜0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that baseline BMI (OR=0.928, P=0.012) and baseline LDL-C levels (OR=0.207, P<0.001), patient cardiovascular risk stratification (OR=0.155, P<0.001) and lipid-lowering drug treatment regimen (OR=3.758, P<0.001) are significant factors affecting the LDL-C control status. Conclusion The LDL-C compliance rate of patients undergoing CABG is at a relatively low level 1 year after surgery. Patients with very high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, high baseline LDL-C levels, and overweight or obesity should be strengthened lipid management. For these patients, the intensity of lipid-lowering drug use or combination medication should be increased upon discharge.

Objective To systematically evaluate the therapeutic effects of different surgical procedures for ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Methods Computer searches were conducted in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science, with the search time limit from the inception of the databases to February 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, used the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and used Stata 17.0 software to analyze the data. Results A total of 19 randomized controlled trials involving 6139 patients were finally included, involving six surgical procedures, and the overall quality of the included studies was relatively high. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that the 30-day all-cause mortality rate of mitral valve repair (MVr) was significantly lower than that of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) [OR=0.24, 95%CI (0.07, 0.87), P<0.01], mitral valve replacement (MVR) [OR=0.43, 95%CI (0.23, 0.79), P=0.02], CABG+MVR [OR=0.21, 95%CI (0.04, 0.95), P=0.03] and transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using MitraClip [OR=0.13, 95%CI (0.02, 0.87), P<0.01]. The 30-day all-cause mortality rate of CABG+MVr was significantly lower than that of CABG [OR=0.56, 95%CI (0.33, 0.93), P=0.02] and CABG+MVR [OR=0.48, 95%CI (0.24, 0.94), P=0.04], and the best probability ranking results showed that MVR might be the most effective in reducing the 30-day all-cause mortality rate. The incidence of renal complications in CABG+MVr was significantly lower than that in CABG+MVR [OR=0.42, 95%CI (0.21, 0.83), P=0.01]; the best probability ranking results showed that CABG+MVr might be the most effective in reducing renal complications. Conclusion The current limited evidence suggests that CABG+MVr and MVr may be the best surgical intervention methods for IMR patients at present. Due to the limitations of the number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions still need to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Objective Objective To analyze the potential spatial factors affecting the genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni in Yunnan Province. Methods A total of 13 administrative villages were selected from schistosomiasis-endemic areas of Yunnan Province as O. hupensis snail sampling sites. At least 200 snails were collected in each site, and the spatial variable data of each site were recorded, including longitude, latitude and altitude. Thirty active and Schistosoma japonicum uninfected O. hupensis snails were selected from each sampling site by means of the crawling method and the cercarial shedding method. Genomic DNA was extracted from O. hupensis snails. Following PCR amplification, purification of PCR amplification products and sequencing, the gene sequences of O. hupensis snail samples were spliced and edited using the DNAstar software and the NCBI database to yield the complete mitochondrial sequences of O. hupensis snails at each sampling site, and the mitochondrial genetic distance matrix of O. hupensis robertsoni was calculated at each sampling site. The geographical coordinates of each sampling site were marked using the software ArcGIS 10.2, and the straight-line geographical distance between each sampling site was calculated. The altitude difference, longitude difference and latitude difference between each sampling site were calculated using the Excel software, and the correlation between the mitochondrial genetic distance matrix of O. hupensis robertsoni and each spatial variable matrix was examined by using the Mantel test at 13 sampling sites in Yunnan Province. Results Among the 13 O. hupensis snail sampling sites in Yunnan Province, the largest mitochondrial genetic distance of O. hupensis robertsoni snail populations was seen between Anding Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Caizhuang Village, Midu County (26.244 2), and the largest geographical distance was seen between Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District and Cangling Village, Chuxiong County (272.64 km). The highest altitude difference was seen between Anding Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District (1 086.10 m), and the largest longitude difference was found between Qiandian Village, Eryuan County and Cangling Village, Chuxiong County (1.86°), while the largest latitude difference was measured between Leqiu Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District (1.81°). In addition, the mitochondrial genetic distance of O. hupensis robertsoni snail populations was positively correlated with altitude at 13 snail sampling sites in Yunnan Province (r = 0.542 8, P < 0.001), and showed no significant correlations with geographical distance (r = 0.093 4, P > 0.05), longitude (r = −0.199 5, P > 0.05) or latitude (r = 0.205 7, P > 0.05). Conclusion Altitude may be a potential spatial factor affecting the genetic differentiation of O. hupensis robertsoni in Yunnan Province.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the role of NDC80 kinetochore complex component （NUF2） and magnesium homeostasis in ovarian cancer cell apoptosis， as well as the regulatory mechanism of gypenoside L （Gyp-L） on NUF2 and magnesium homeostasis. MethodsOvarian cancer OVCAR3 cells were divided into a blank control group， a low-concentration Gyp-L group （50 µmol·L^-1）， a high-concentration Gyp-L group （100 µmol·L^-1）， and a cisplatin （15 µmol·L^-1） group. The migration， proliferation， and apoptosis capabilities of OVCAR3 cells were evaluated through cell scratch assays， clonal experiments， and terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay （TUNEL） staining. Differentially expressed genes of ovarian cancer were screened by using the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database. The interaction relationships of differentially expressed genes and proteins were analyzed via the Search Tool for Recurring Instances of Neighbouring Genes （STRING） database. The prognostic survival analysis was performed by using the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource （TIMER） database， and the differential expression levels of genes were validated with the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis （GEPIA） database. The mRNA expression levels of NUF2， magnesium homeostasis-related indicators， such as magnesium transporter 1 （MAGT1）， non-imprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome 1 （NIPA1）， NIPA-like domain containing 1 （NIPAL1）， as well as apoptosis-related indicators B cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） in OVCAR3 cells， were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The protein expression levels of NUF2， MAGT1， NIPA1， NIPAL1， Bcl-2， and Bax in OVCAR3 cells were quantitatively analyzed by ProteinSimple WES. A model of overexpression of NUF2 was constructed， and Gyp-L intervention was performed. The molecular mechanism by which Gyp-L induces ovarian cancer cell apoptosis by regulating NUF2 and influencing magnesium homeostasis was quantitatively analyzed and detected through cell cloning， TUNEL staining， Real-time PCR， and ProteinSimple WES. Finally， the Mg²⁺ content and protein synthesis efficiency were detected by immunofluorescence. ResultsGyp-L significantly inhibited the migration and proliferation capabilities of OVCAR3 cells and promoted their apoptosis （P<0.05）. Overexpression of NUF2 markedly increased the expression levels of MAGT1， NIPA1， NIPAL1， and Bcl-2， while reducing the expression level of Bax （P<0.05）. It also significantly elevated intracellular Mg²⁺ content and protein synthesis efficiency and simultaneously inhibited apoptosis （P<0.05）. Gyp-L could reverse the magnesium homeostasis imbalance and apoptosis inhibition caused by the overexpression of NUF2， downregulating the expression levels of NUF2， MAGT1， NIPA1， NIPAL1， and Bcl-2 （P<0.05）， while upregulating the expression level of Bax （P<0.05）. ConclusionGyp-L can inhibit the occurrence of ovarian cancer， and its mechanism may involve inhibiting the expression of NUF2 to maintain magnesium homeostasis and inducing apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells.

Objective To systematically evaluate the impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on the prognosis of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods A computerized search was conducted in CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, and Web of Science databases from inception to June 2023 for cohort studies on the prognostic impact of PH in severe AS patients undergoing TAVR. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. Stata 17.0 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 16 cohort studies were included, all with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale scores≥7. Meta-analysis results showed that, compared with AS patients without PH, those with PH had significantly higher 1-year all-cause mortality after TAVR [OR=2.10, 95%CI (1.60, 2.75), P<0.01], 30-day all-cause mortality [OR=2.09, 95%CI (1.54, 2.83), P<0.01], and cardiovascular mortality [OR=1.49, 95%CI (1.18, 1.90), P<0.01]. The differences between the two groups in major bleeding events, stroke, myocardial infarction, pacemaker implantation, and postoperative renal failure were not statistically significant. For outcome indicators with significant heterogeneity, subgroup analyses were performed based on PH measurement methods, diagnostic criteria, and different types of PH. The results showed that most subgroup combined results were consistent with the overall findings and that heterogeneity was significantly reduced. Conclusion PH significantly increases the 30-day all-cause mortality, 1-year all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality in patients with severe AS undergoing TAVR.

Objective: To explore the bidirectional associations among body mass index Z scores (BMI Z scores) and weight stigma with depressive symptoms in adolescents, thereby providing evidence for targeted intervention strategies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 18 301 adolescents aged 12-18 years from all 12 prefectures (103 counties) in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and two waves of longitudinal surveys were conducted in September 2023 (T1) and September 2024 (T2) among the adolescents. Weight stigma was assessed by using a self developed questionnaire, depressive symptom was measured with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and BMI Z scores were calculated according to the World Health Organization standards. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine associations among variables, and cross lagged panel models were constructed to investigate the dynamic bidirectional relationships among the three variables. Results: Adolescents BMI Z scores and weight stigma with depressive symptoms all exhibited autoregressive stability across the two time points (autoregressive paths, all P <0.01). Cross lagged model comparisons indicated that the bidirectional path model achieved the best fit ( χ 2=12.65, RMSEA =0.017, CFI =1.000; △ χ 2=193.39, P <0.01), supporting dynamic bidirectional associations among the three variables. After adjusting for gender, age, subjective social status and only child status, T1 BMI Z scores among adolescents positively predicted T2 weight stigma ( β =0.061), and T1 weight stigma positively predicted T2 depressive symptoms ( β =0.608); in the reverse direction, T1 depressive symptoms predicted T2 weight stigma ( β =0.003), and T1 weight stigma predicted T2 BMI Z scores ( β =0.081) (all P <0.01). Conclusions There is a bidirectional cross lagged relationship among adolescents BMI Z scores and weight stigma with depressive symptoms, suggesting that weight stigma may serve as a key psychological variable linking obesity and depressive symptoms. Greater attention should be paid to the potential threat of weight stigma to adolescents mental health, with intervention strategies expanded from a solely physiological focus to encompass psychosocial dimensions.

Objective To evaluate the effects of fasting and high-fat diet on the pharmacokinetics of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets in healthy Chinese subjects.Methods A single-center,randomized,open,two-agent,two-sequence,four-cycle,fully repeated crossover,single-dose trial design was used in this study,healthy subjects were assigned to receive single dose of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets 0.1 g in either fasting or high-fat diet state,and blood samples were taken at different time points,respectively.The concentrations of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated in plasma were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS),the model method of the non-compartmental was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters by Phoenix WinNonlin 8.2.Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets in fasting state and high-fat diet state were as follows:Cmax were(339.63±156.47)and(318.86±132.13)ng·mL-1;t1/2 were(2.34±0.68)and(3.60±2.40)h;AUC0_t were(556.62±251.65)and(528.50±201.78)ng·mL-1·h;AUC0-∞ were(563.39±255.69)and(535.15±203.24)ng·mL-1·h;tmax were 3.65 and 6.99 h.After high-fat diet,the Cmax and AUC of rapeprazole sodium after high-fat and high-calorie diet decreased,Cmax decreased by 6.12％,AUC0-t decreased by 5.05％,AUC0-∞ decreased by 5.01％,andtmaxwas delayed by about 3.34 h.Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ 90％confidence interval were 73.13％-115.10％,83.22％-112.28％and 83.40％-112.13％,respectively.Neither was between 85.00％-125.00％.Conclusion High-fat diet affects the absorption rate and degree of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated,so it is suitable to be administered on an empty stomach.

Objective To explore the relationship between plantar fascia stiffness and windlass mechanism and their impact on the arch,and provide a biomechanical mechanism explanation for plantar fascia and arch-related diseases.Methods A foot-plate model with 30° flexion angle at the metatarsophalangeal joint was constructed.The musculoskeletal model combined with the three-dimensional finite element analysis method was used,and the dynamic data of the foot during walking at the speed of 5 km/h was obtained using dual fluoroscopic imaging system(DFIS).The finite element model was verified,and the influence of plantar fascia stiffness on the capstan mechanism and arch-related mechanical parameters was explored.Results The finite element simulation analysis results were highly consistent with the foot data obtained by DFIS,confirming the validity of the model.With the increase of plantar fascia stiffness,the windlass effect and the stiffness of the longitudinal arch of the foot both showed an increasing trend,but the flexion angle of the metatarsophalangeal joint decreased,the distal stress of the plantar fascia gradually decreased,and the proximal stress increased;when the plantar fascia stiffness was 25％-150％,the width of the transverse arch of the foot increased with the increase of plantar fascia stiffness,while the height of the transverse arch decreased with the increase of plantar fascia stiffness;when the plantar fascia stiffness was 150％-200％,the width of the transverse arch of the foot decreased,the height increased,and the stiffness also increased.Conclusions An increase in plantar fascia stiffness can enhance the windlass mechanism to some extent,but it also leads to a reduction in metatarsophalangeal joint flexion.The stiffness of the plantar fascia affects the metatarsophalangeal joint flexion,thereby impacting the windlass mechanism and the distal tensile force of the plantar fascia.Together with the ground reaction force at the distal end of the metatarsals,these factors collectively influence the stiffness of the transverse arch of the foot.

Objective To investigate the status and developmental trends of clinical trials for weight control drugs in China,and to provide data support for sponsors,researchers,and regulatory authorities.Methods The drug clinical trial registration and information platform of the National Medical Products Administration was utilized to search for registered clinical trials of weight control drugs from November 2012 to June 2024.The search employed"overweight","obesity",and"weight loss"as keywords.The information collected included project registration time,drug name,dosage form,drug classification,indications,trial staging,study progress,design type,lead unit,and sponsor.Microsoft Office Excel software was employed for data entry,organization,and extraction.Results A total of 95 registered clinical trials of weight control drugs were identified,comprising 40 domestic multicenter trials,47 domestic single-center trials,and 8 international multicenter trials.Regarding trial phasing,46(48.4％)were phase Ⅰ clinical trials,17(17.9％)were phase Ⅱ clinical trials,19(20.0％)were phase Ⅲ clinical trials,and 13(13.7％)were bioequivalence trials.The drug categorization encompassed 22 chemical drugs,20 biological products,and 1 traditional Chinese medicine/natural drug.Concerning drug dosage forms,there were 32 items of injectable dosage forms,8 items of tablets,2 items of capsules,and 1 item of chewable tablets.Conclusions Registered clinical trials for weight-loss medications in China are predominantly concentrated in regions with developed medical resources.Injectable biologics constitute most test drugs,with most drugs in the early stages of research and development.The examination of the safety and efficacy of these drugs remains to be substantiated,and it is anticipated that a considerable period will elapse before their approval and market introduction.

Objective To explore the expression of serine/threonine protein kinase 1(AKT1)and Isocho-rismatase Domain-Containing 1(ISOC1)in gastric cancer tissues and evaluate their diagnostic utility.Methods A total of 90 patients with gastric cancer who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital between March 2023 and September 2024 were recruited as the study subjects.The positive expression rates and positive scores of AKT1 and ISOC1 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were compared.The AKT1 and ISOC1 positive scores of gastric cancer patients with diverse characteristics were also compared.The Spearman correlation analysis was employed to exam-ine the relationship between the expression of AKT1 and ISOC1 in cancer tissues and the clinical features of gastric cancer patients.A diagnostic model for gastric cancer,integrating AKT1 and ISOC1,was established using the Logistic regression model.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to analyze the area under the curve(AUC)value,sensitivity,and specificity of AKT1,ISOC1,and their combined diagnosis for gastric cancer.Results The positive expression rates and positive scores of AKT1 and ISOC1 in cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in paracancerous tissues(P<0.05).In gastric cancer patients,the expressions of AKT1 and ISOC1 were notably higher in patients with low differentiation,clinical stage Ⅰ～Ⅱ,invasion depth T1-2,absence of lymph node metastasis,and no distant metastasis compared to those with moderate differentiation,clinical stage Ⅲ～Ⅳ,invasion depth T3-4,and presence of lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis(P<0.05).Spearman's correlation analysis indicated that AKT1 and ISOC1 were positively correlated with the degree of differ-entiation,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis,invasion degree,and distant metastasis(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)values of AKT1,ISOC1,and their combined diagnosis for gastric cancer were 0.735,0.726,and 0.875 respectively(P<0.05).The sensitivities were 60.00%,56.70%,and 75.60%,while the speci-ficities were 85.60%,83.30%,and 87.80%.The AUC value of the combined detection of AKT1 and ISOC1 in the diagnosis of gastric cancer was higher than that of AKT1 or ISOC1 alone(Z=-3.003,-3.196,P<0.05).Conclusions AKT1 and ISOC1 are highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues,and their expressions are upregu-lated with the progression of the disease.The combined detection of their expression levels holds great significance for the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of gastric cancer.
