Objective To analyze the predictive value of the combined application of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) for the severity of coronary artery lesions in postmenopausal patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Menopausal women who were diagnosed by coronary angiography and received treatment in the cardiovascular department were selected as the research subjects. According to the Gensini score, the patients were divided into a moderate group (n=151) and a severe group (n=203). The clinical indexes of the two groups were compared and ROC analysis was used to predict the efficacy. Results The BMI, age, hypertension rate, WBC, PLT, NEUT, TC, TG, LCI, TyG, and TyG‑BMI in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the moderate group, while ALB was significantly lower than that in the moderate group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that age, hypertension, WBC, TyG, and TyG‑BMI were independent risk factors for severe coronary artery disease in postmenopausal women (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of TyG was 0.745, the AUC of TyG‑BMI was 0.797, and the AUC of TyG combined with TyG‑BMI was 0.803, all showing good predictive performance. Conclusion TyG and TyG‑BMI are effective indicators for predicting the severity of coronary artery disease in postmenopausal CHD patients. The combination of the two can further improve predictive efficacy, providing a simple and economical reference for early clinical risk stratification.

Objective To explore the serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cell-1 (TREM1)levels in patients with diabetes foot,and the correlation between them and clinical grading and prognosis of patients. Methods From January 2021 to January 2023,97 patients with diabetes foot who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University were collected as the study object (diabetes foot group),and 102 healthy people who were examined in the hospital were collected as the healthy control group. The patients with diabetic foot were categorized into 33 cases of grade 0～1,39 cases of grade 2～3,and 25 cases of grade 4～5 according to Wanger grading criteria. Patients with diabetes foot were followed up for 6 months and divided into good prognosis group (n=72) and poor prognosis group (n=25).Serum PlGF and TREM1 levels were compared between groups. Spearman correlation analysis was applied to explore the correlation between serum PlGF and TREM1 levels and clinical grading in patients,factors influencing the prognosis of patients with diabetic foot was analyzed by Logistic regression . Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to investigate the predictive effect of serum PlGF and TREM1 on the prognosis of patients with diabetes foot. Results The expression level of serum PlGF in the diabetes foot group was lower than that in the healthy control group (53.86±15.13 pg/ml vs 87.57±18.28 pg/ml),and the level of TREM1 was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (279.56±32.25 ng/L vs 195.37±26.28 ng/L),and the difference was statistically significance (t=14.133,20.232,all P<0.05).Serum PlGF expression (39.41±13.28 pg/ml vs 66.13±16.30 pg/ml,52.75±15.32 pg/ml) was lower in patients with clinical grades 4～5 than in patients with grades 0～1 and 2～3. TREM1 expression (326.66±35.75 ng/L vs 248.21±29.83 ng/L,275.89±32.06 ng/L) was higher than in patients with grades 0～1 and 2～3. Serum PlGF expression was lower in patients with clinical grades 2～3 than in patients with grades 0～1. TREM1 expression was higher than in patients with grades 0～1,and the differences were statistically significant (q=5.120～12.945,all P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis,the serum PlGF expression level in diabetes foot patients was negatively correlated with their clinical grading (r=-0.696,P<0.001) and the TREM1 expression level was positively correlated with their clinical grading (r=0.657,P<0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression anaalysis,PlGF was an independent protective factor[OR(95％CI):0.725(0.531～0.990)]and TREM1 was an independent risk factor[OR(95％CI):2.308(1.284～4.147)]affecting the prognosis of diabetic foot patients.The AUC(95％CI) of PlGF,TREM1 levels and their combination to predict the prognosis of diabetes foot patients was 0.898(0.820～0.950),0.817(0.725～0.888)and 0.949 (0.885～0.984),respectively. The clinical efficacy of the combination of the two in predicting the poor prognosis of patients with diabetes foot was better than that of serum PlGF and TREM1 alone (Z=2.150,2.713,P=0.032,0.007). Conclusion The expression of PlGF in serum of patients with diabetes foot is significantly reduced,and the expression of TREM1 is significantly increased. Both of them are closely related to the clinical grading of patients,and they have good clinical efficacy in predicting prognosis.

Objective To explore the value of prenatal echocardiography in diagnosis of fetal ventricular septal defect (VSD).Methods Prenatal echocardiography was performed on 3 826 fetuses,and the results were compared with those of postnatal echocardiography or autopsy findings.The diagnostic accuracy,misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate of prenatal echocardiography for VSD were calculated.Results Among 3 826 fetuses,VSD was found in 61 fetuses (61/3 826,1.59％) with prenatal echocardiography,including simple VSD in 36 fetuses (36/3 826,0.94％) and VSD complicated with other heart malformations in 25 fetuses (25/3 826,0.65 ％).According to the results of autopsy and postnatal echocardiography,the final diagnosis of VSD was found in 76 cases (76/3 826,1.99％),of which simple VSD was found in 51 cases (51/3 826,1.33 ％),VSD complicated with other heart malformations were found in 25 fetuses (25/3 826,0.65％).The diagnostic accuracy,missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate of simple VSD with prenatal echocardiography was 58.82％ (30/51),41.18％ (21/51) and 1.06‰ (4/3 775),respectively.The diagnostic accuracy,missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate of VSD complicated with other heart malformations with prenatal echocardiography was 96.00％ (24/25),4.00％ (1/25) and 0.26‰ (1/3 801),respectively.Conclusion Echocardiography has important clinical value in prenatal diagnosis of fetal VSD,which can provide important references for treatment plan and prognosis evaluation.

Objective Metabolites produced by metabolic imbalance such as free fatty acids and lipopolysaccharides can result in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation, or metabolic inflammation, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and obesity. The above metabolic disorders are closely related with the metabolic inflammation, which always coexist. Therefore, we proposed the concept ofmetabolic inflammatory syndrome ( MIS). According to our study, patients with two or more metabolic disorders above could be diagnosed as MIS. The current research is aimed to investigate the prevalence of MIS and its components, and to compare the clinical values of MIS and metabolic syndrome ( MS) . Methods 2 001 in patients with type 2 diabetes from 6 hospitals in Shanghai were recruited in the current multi-center cross-sectional study. The diagnostic rates of MIS and MS and their components of both syndromes were compared. Results In the patients with type 2 diabetes, the detective rate of MIS was 96. 2%, which was higher than that of MS (71. 3%). Among 4 components of MIS, atherosclerosis showed the highest detective rate (75.6%). MIS[OR=2.252(95%CI1.026-4.942),P=0.043],atherosclerosis[OR=2.726(95% CI1.953-3. 804),P<0. 001], and MS[OR=1. 915 (95%CI 1. 444-2. 540),P<0. 01] were the risk factors of coronary heart disease. Conclusion With atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and obesity as its 4 components, MIS has a high detective rate in patients with metabolic disorders, and seems to be more sensitive than MS to distinguish inflammation-related metabolic diseases. The concept of MIS will promote the screening and prevention of atherosclerosis in its early stage.

Objective To investigate the influence of acupuncture and stage health education on the function rehabilitation of stroke patients with depression.Methods 85 patients with poststroke depression were divided into a treatment group (44) and a control group (41).All the cases were treated with routine neurological therapy.Based upon it,the treatment group was given acupuncture and stage health education.Barthel (BI) index and movement scale Fugl Meyer (FMA),depression scale Zung (SDS) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)were observed in the two groups before and after the treatment.Results After eight weeks treatment,the scores of SDS and HAMD in the two groups were (46.97±12.17),(26.04±5.37),compared with the pretreatment scores(56.07± 5.51),(32.74± 5.17),they were significantly reduced.The scores ofBI,FMB were(67.13 ±15.53),(64.41 ±20.03) which were significantly increased (average P＜0.01),this increase was more significant in the treatment group (P＜0.05) Post-stroke depression comparison:the total effect of SDS and HAMD in the treatment group was (77.88％,78.6％),which was more superior to the control group (56.6％,52.4％).Conclusion The acupuncture and stage health education has a significant clinical treatment effect on the patients suffered from post-stroke depression and also can enhance their body movement function as well as the daily ability.
