Objective:To investigate the relationship between plasma atherogenic index (AIP) trajectory and the risk of hypertension in health examination population.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 15 389 subjects who had undergone health examinations at the Health Management Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University three or more times from January 2012 to December 2022 were consecutively selected. The general data, anthropometric parameters and laboratory parameters were collected. The study population without hypertension at baseline inclusion was screened, and AIP trajectory groups of different genders were determined by group-based trajectory modeling. The baseline characteristics and the incidence of hypertension at the end of follow-up were observed in each AIP trajectory group of men and women. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the association of AIP trajectories with the risk of hypertension.Results:Four AIP trajectory groups (low level group, low gain group, medium gain group and high gain group) were identified in both male and female subjects, with the highest incidence of hypertension in the low gain group (38.18% in females and 40.92% in males). After adjusting for all confounders, the risk of hypertension was positively associated with increased AIP trajectories in the low ( HR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.02-1.63), medium ( HR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.23-2.23), and high ( HR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.26-2.85) gain groups in women; the risk of hypertension was positively associated with increased AIP trajectories in only the high gain group in men ( HR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.01-1.74). Conclusion:Elevated AIP trajectory is positively correlated with the risk of hypertension in health examination population.

Objective:The effect of serum thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) on permanent hypothyroidism (HT) after 131I treatment in Graves disease patients and its predictive value Methods:479 Graves' disease patients who underwent 131I treatment at the Nuclear Medicine Department of North China University of Technology Affiliated Hospital from October 2013 to October 2021 were selected. Among them, 350 cases (permanent HT group) had permanent HT during follow-up, while 129 cases (non permanent HT group) did not. Collect general clinical data such as gender, age, degree of thyroid enlargement, as well as indicators such as iodine intake rate, thyroid function, and treatment dose 24 hours before treatment, from two groups of patients. Compare the general clinical data and pre treatment levels of various detection indicators between two groups of patients, analyze the risk factors for permanent HT in Graves disease patients after 131I treatment, and evaluate the predictive value of pre treatment serum TRAb levels, and evaluate the consistency between the predicted results and clinical diagnosis. The econometric data with a normal distribution is represented by xˉ± s, and two independent sample t-tests are used for comparison between the two groups; The econometric data that do not conform to the normal distribution are represented by M( Q1, Q3), and the Wilcoxon rank sum test is used for comparison between the two groups; The counting data is represented as an example (%), and the comparison between the two groups is conducted using the four grid χ 2 test, while the comparison of grade data is conducted using the Willcoxon rank sum test; The logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Draw a subject work characteristic curve to evaluate the predictive efficacy of TRAb, and screen the predictive threshold based on the Chayoden index; Calculate sensitivity and specificity, and evaluate the consistency between the predicted results and clinical diagnosis by calculating Kappa values. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, degree of thyroid enlargement, 24-hour iodine uptake rate, serum thyroid stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine levels, and 131I treatment dose between the permanent HT group and the non permanent HT group (all P>0.05); The pre treatment TRAb levels in the permanent HT group were higher than those in the non permanent HT group [14.51(4.95,33.58) U/L vs 3.40(1.67,16.5) U/L], with a statistically significant difference ( Z=5.87, P<0.001). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pre treatment TRAb levels were a risk factor for permanent HT in Graves' disease patients after 131I treatment (odds ratio=1.042,95% confidence interval: 1.025-1.059, P<0.001). The area under the working characteristic curve for predicting permanent HT in Graves' disease patients after 131I treatment with pre-treatment TRAb levels is 0.674 (95% confidence interval: 0.616~0.732), and the optimal critical value is 7.025 U/L. Using TRAb>7.025 U/L before treatment as the standard for predicting postoperative permanent HT in patients, the sensitivity and specificity were 73.7% and 75.2%, respectively. The predicted results showed moderate consistency with clinical diagnosis ( Kappa=0.426). Conclusions:The pre treatment TRAb level is a risk factor for permanent HT in Graves disease patients after 131I treatment ( P<0.001), and the diagnostic efficacy of permanent HT is best when TRAb>7.025 U/L.

Gastrointestinal tract is the main site of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Intestinal flora and its metabolites can affect the physicochemical properties, nutritional status and immune function of the intestinal tract. Improving the state of intestinal flora of AIDS patients can improve the immune function of patients and suppress the damage caused by HIV virus to the body. Moringa oleifera combined enteral nutrition can improve the intestinal microecology of AIDS patients and effectively improve the nutritional status of the patients, but there is the possibility of interaction with antiviral drugs, garlic, hypericum perforatum and other herbs. The microbial ecological agents have a weak regulation effect on the intestinal flora of AIDS patients, but it can improve the immune function of patients to a certain extent. Fecal microbiota transplantation does not significantly change the diversity of intestinal flora in AIDS patients, and the long-term complications are still to be clarified, but it can improve the immunity of patients to some extent. The preservation of microbial ecological agents, dietary regulation of intestinal flora and nursing after fecal microbiota transplantation in AIDS patients are still to be studied.

Postprandial hypotension is an abnormal regulation of blood pressure, which is common in the elderly. Due to insidious symptoms, postprandial hypotension is easily neglected by patients and medical staff in clinical practice, but it has a high degree of harm. There are many factors related to the occurrence of postprandial hypotension, including demographic factors, disease-related factors, lifestyle factors, postprandial postural factors and so on. Among demographic factors, age is positively associated with the occurrence of postprandial hypotension. Among disease-related factors, the existence of some basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, and the use of most kinds of anti-hypertensive drugs can increase the risk of postprandial hypotension. Among lifestyle factors, smoking is a risk factor for postprandial hypotension: while reducing the intake of staple foods, drinking large amounts of water or drinking green tea before meals may reduce the risk of postprandial hypotension. By taking different postures after meals, postural factors affect the rate of gastrointestinal emptying and then affect the occurrence of postprandial hypotension. Among the above factors, it is feasible to prevent postprandial hypotension by changing postprandial posture.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical effects of free superficial femoral artery femoral triangle perforator flap in the repair of skin and soft tissue defects in extremities.
Methods:
From January 2016 to November 2017, 14 patients (9 males and 5 females, aged 19 to 54 years) with skin and soft tissue defects in extremities accompanied with tendon and bone exposure were admitted to our unit. The size of skin and soft tissue defects after debridement ranged from 7 cm×3 cm to 10 cm×7 cm. The defects were repaired with free superficial femoral artery femoral triangle perforator flaps, with size ranging from 13.0 cm×2.0 cm to 20.0 cm×4.5 cm. The medial femoral cutaneous nerve was applied to the flap. The perforator flap was grafted onto the medial femoral cutaneous nerve in 6 patients. The donor sites were sutured directly. The survival of flaps and the follow-up of patients were observed.
Results:
All flaps of 14 patients survived successfully. The recipient sites and donor sites were healed completely in 13 patients, and 1 patient with partial skin necrosis at the edge of flap was healed after treatment. All patients were followed up for 6 months to 1 year after the operation. The flaps were in good shape, with nearly normal color and soft texture and no cicatrix contracture deformity. The flaps recovered protective sense in 6 patients who had medial femoral cutaneous nerve grafting, and the sensory recovery of the flap was slightly worse in the remaining 8 patients. There was no significant complications on the appearance and walking of the donor thigh in 14 patients, only a linear scar was left on the inner thigh, and no numbness was felt in the donor sites of patients.
Conclusions
The free superficial femoral artery femoral triangle perforator flap is an ideal therapy for repairing skin and soft tissue defects in extremities.
