Objective:To investigate the impact of coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) on the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:The study was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single centre. Patients who successfully underwent elective PCI with pre-and post-PCI caIMR measurements in Peking University First Hospital between August 2013 and December 2020 were included. Then patients were categorised into three groups based on pre-and post-PCI caIMR: post-PCI caIMR<25 U group, pre-PCI caIMR<25 U and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U group, and both pre-and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U group. Collected clinical data of patients, including comorbid diabetes mellitus.The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint, defined as a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and any revascularisation. The association between caIMR-based groupings and clinical outcomes was analysed using Cox proportional hazards regression models.Results:A total of 625 patients who underwent successful elective PCI were included in the study, among whom 294 (47.0%) had stable angina. The age was (64.5±10.1) years, and 440 (70.4%) patients were male. Over a median follow-up of 3.69 (1.80, 5.80) years, 122 patients (19.5%) experienced composite endpoint events. Post-PCI caIMR≥25 U in combination with diabetes mellitus was associated with an increased risk of the composite endpoint compared to those with post-PCI caIMR<25 U and without diabetes mellitus (adjusted HR=2.13, 95% CI 1.17-3.88, P=0.014). In the combined analysis, compared with post-PCI caIMR<25 U group, those with both pre-and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U had higher risks of composite endpoint (adjusted HR=2.01, 95% CI 1.18-3.43, P=0.010) and any revascularisation (adjusted HR=2.12, 95% CI 1.17-3.84, P=0.013). The pre-PCI caIMR<25 U and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U group showed no statistically significant differences in any of the endpoints compared to post-PCI caIMR<25 U group. Conclusions:Integrated pre-and post-procedural assessment of caIMR may enhance risk stratification in patients with coronary heart disease. Persistent coronary microvascular dysfunction present both before and after PCI, as measured by caIMR, serves as an independent risk factor for adverse events in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing elective PCI.

Objective:To explore the anal function and postoperative complications of 2-stage Turnbull-Cutait pull-through coloanal anastomosis (TCA) for low rectal cancer.Methods:Patients undergoing radical rectal cancer resection from Feb 2023 to Nov 2024 in the First Hospital of Jilin University were divided into the TCA surgery group and the low anterior resection combined with prophylactic stoma (LAR) surgery group.Results:Among the 102 patients, there were 50 cases in the TCA group and 52 cases in the LAR group. In the single-arm analysis of the TCA group, the overall complication rate was 44%. The incidence rates of severe LARS at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery were 97%, 77%, and 64% respectively. There was no significant difference in the complication rate within 30 days after surgery between the two groups,(44% vs. 38%, χ2=0.135, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of severe LARS between the TCA group and the LAR group (77% vs. 69%, χ2=0.202, P>0.05), and there was not significant difference in the incidence rate of severe LARS between the two groups at the 6th month after surgery,(64% vs. 48%, χ2=1.132, P>0.05). Conclusion:In patients who underwent TCA surgery, the LARS symptoms gradually decreased over time. Compared with patients undergoing low anterior resection and stoma reversal, there were no significant differences in complications within 30 days after surgery and LARS symptoms within half a year.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and related socio-demographic factors of schizo-phrenia patients with different ages of onset.Methods:Totally 2 016 patients with schizophrenia aged 15 to 70 were selected according to the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition.All of the patients were interviewed by psychiatrists using the Mini International Neuropsy-chiatric Interview to diagnose schizophrenia,Clinical-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity(CRDPSS)and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)to assess symptoms.The cut-off points were 18 and 25 years old for three age groups,i.e.early onset(EOS),youth onset(YOS)and adult onset(AOS).Statistical analy-ses were performed by analysis of variance Pearson correlation analysis,and multivariate linear regression.Results:The early-onset patients had the highest total PANSS score(73.8±28.0)and CRDPSS score(11.7±5.4).Fe-male gender,high education level,Han ethnicity,early onset age,and slower onset of illness were negatively corre-lated with the total and dimension score of PANSS scale and CRDPSS scale(standardized regression coefficient:0.04-0.47),and income level and smoking were negatively correlated with those score(standardized regression coefficient:-0.04--0.14).Conclusion:Early-onset schizophrenia patients have more severe symptoms,and fe-male,high education level,early-onset disease,and chronic onset are the risk factors of symptom severity in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective In order to simplify the hygiene processing and reduce the load of sleep monitoring,a method of sleep quality assessment on orbit without EEG is explored.Methods Using the open database ISRUC-Sleep with AASM standard,the training set(n=20)and the test set(sleep disorder group(n=10)and health group(n=10))are completely independent.The electrooculogram(EOG)features include the energy,the root mean square,correlation coefficients and phase-locked values between different frequency bands of two-channel EOG.The electromyogram(EMG)features include fractal dimension,root mean square,the mean value,the maximum value and the root mean square of EMG envelope.Linear support vector machine(LSVM)and random forest(RF)were used to classify wakefulness,REM sleep,light sleep and deep sleep.The accuracy was compared with the results that derived from six-channel electroencephalogram(EEG),two-channel EOG and one-channel EMG.Results Using 50 normalized features of EOG(44 features)and EMG(6 features),for sleep disorder group,kappa coefficients were both 0.75 by RF and by LSVM;for healthy group,the kappa coefficients were 0.73 by RF and 0.70 by LSVM.As a reference for AASM standard,using 140 normalized features of EEG(90 features),EOG(44 features)and EMG(6 features),for sleep disorder group,kappa coefficients were 0.78 by RF and 0.79 by LSVM;for healthy group,kappa coefficients were 0.74 by RF and 0.76 by LSVM.Conclusion The accuracy of sleep scoring from two-channel EOG and one-channel EMG is comparable with that of the gold standard,and can be applied to evaluate the sleep quality during manned spaceflight.

Objective There are 6 leads of limb lead ECG,and the cardiac electrical axis can be estimated by any combination of two leads.In this paper,the estimation accuracy of all 15 pairs of limb-lead combinations was compared.Methods Using the open database of 12-lead electrocardiograms(at a sampling frequency of 500 Hz with duration of 10 seconds during resting state)from PhysioNet,totally 21 306 ECG records were extracted with age≥18 years which labeled as single sinus type(axis normal),including 6 153 records with Sinus Rhythm,10 916 records with Sinus Bradycardia,3 466 records with Sinus Tachycardia,and 771 records with Sinus Irregularity.Moreover,totally 2 323 axis deflection recordings with age≥18 years were extracted,including 1 526 records with Axis left shift,and 797 records with Axis right shift.Cardiac electrical axis was estimated with the net amplitude(or area)of QRS complex(algebraic sum of positive and negative amplitude or area)by any pair of leads from{Ⅰ,Ⅱ},{Ⅰ,Ⅲ},{Ⅰ,aVR},{Ⅰ,aVL},{Ⅰ,aVF},{Ⅱ,Ⅲ},{Ⅱ,aVR},{Ⅱ,aVL},{Ⅱ,aVF},{Ⅲ,aVR},{Ⅲ,aVL},{Ⅲ,aVF},{aVR,aVL},{aVR,aVF},{aVL,aVF},respectively.Results For the amplitude-based method,the recognition accuracy for the normal,left and right axes from{Ⅰ,Ⅱ}and{Ⅱ,aVL}is 93.56%and 93.50%,respectively,which is better than that of the traditional classical method{I,aVF}(92.93%).For the area-based method,the recognition accuracy from{Ⅲ,aVR},{Ⅰ,aVR},{Ⅰ,Ⅱ},{aVR,aVF},{Ⅱ,aVL}and{Ⅱ Ⅲ}is 92.66%,92.53%,92.29%,92.19%,92.10%and 91.91%,respectively,which is better than the traditional classical method{Ⅰ,aVF}(91.82%).Conclusion The accuracy of amplitude-based method is higher than that of area-based method.Lead pair{Ⅰ,Ⅱ}and{Ⅱ,aVL}have higher accuracy than traditional classical{Ⅰ,aVF}in automatic estimation of cardiac electrical axis for both amplitude and area method.

Sunburn is an acute phototoxic reaction caused by excessive exposure of skin to solar ultravilet (UV) or artificial UV light sources. Studies show that sunburn is common in the general population, so that associated financial burden cannot be ignored. Meanwhile, sunburn at any age increases the risk of melanoma. Only by clarifying the influencing factors of sunburn can precise preventive measures be formulated. Although many studies have been conducted on the influencing factors of sunburn worldwide, there are great heterogeneity in reported influencing factors. In this paper, by means of systematic review, factors affecting sunburn were sorted out and summarized from four aspects, including demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, photosensitive phenotypes, UV-related environmental factors, and sun protection knowledge, attitude & behavior. Combined with population characteristics and data availability in China, our review provided reference for subsequent research and development of precise prevention and control strategies.

Long-term exposure to risk factors will lead to coronary atherosclerosis, which will lead to the formation and progression of coronary plaque. Early identification of high-risk plaque characteristics will help prevent plaque rupture or erosion, thus avoiding the occurrence of acute cardiovascular events. Biomechanical stress plays an important role in progression and rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. In recent years, non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling has made it possible to acquire the corresponding biomechanical stress parameters. These coronary biomechanical stress parameters, especially wall shear stress (WSS), will aid in the development of a more accurate clinical model for predicting plaque progression and major adverse cardiovascular events ( MACE ). In this review, the biomechanical stress and the role of WSS from CCTA in atherosclerosis were introduced, and the researches on the relationship between biomechanical stress from CCTA and coronary artery diseases were discussed.

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the COL7A1 gene encoding the α-1 chain of type Ⅶ collagen, leading to reduced or absent expression of basement membrane type Ⅶ collagen (C7) . Currently, there is no effective treatment for this rare disease, and the management is mainly palliative and supportive. Gene therapy is expected to be an effective treatment of RDEB. This review summarizes current strategies of gene therapy in clinical trials for RDEB, as well as their progress, pros and cons, and prospects.
