Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive renal tubular disease characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria,hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis. It is also a major cause of tubular proteinuria in children. According to different causative genes,Dent disease can be divided into three types:type 1 is caused by mutations in the CLCN5 gene,accounting for about 60%-70%;type 2 is caused by mutations in the OCRL gene,accounting for about 15%-20%;type 3 has a similar clinical phenotype but no known pathogenic gene mutations. CLCN5 encodes the voltage-dependent 2Cl -/1H +exchange channel CIC-5,which is involved in proximal renal tubule endocytosis. Its mutations can cause a variety of proximal tubular dysfunction symptoms,mainly including low molecular weight proteinuria. The use of gene detection technology has resulted in an increase in reports on Dent disease year after year. At present,the specific mechanism underlying Dent disease remains unknown. This article reviews the research progress of CLCN5,hoping to provide new insight for the mechanism research of CLCN5 and the specific treatment of Dent disease type 1.

Objective:To explore the barriers and facilitators of exercise rehabilitation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency ablation.Methods:From March to August 2022, 285 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency ablation within three months were recruited from the "Cloud Ward" of the Department of Cardiovascular of the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University by convenience sampling. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS) and the Self-efficacy for Exercise Scale (SEE) were used to evaluate the barriers and self-efficacy of patients participating in exercise rehabilitation, respectively. Among them, 22 patients were subjected to semi-structured interviews to extract themes.Results:Among 285 patients with atrial fibrillation, 202 (70.88%) participated in exercise rehabilitation programs. Work/time conflicts, lack of cardiac rehabilitation knowledge, and health/physical function limitations affected the participation of patients in exercise rehabilitation ( P<0.05). Qualitative research extracted three themes that affected the patient's exercise rehabilitation, including capability, opportunity, and motivation. Conclusions:The participation of atrial fibrillation patients in exercise rehabilitation is influenced by multiple factors such as family responsibility, capability, motivation, and opportunity. Medical and nursing staff should comprehensively consider the above factors, develop targeted interventions from all aspects and multiple angles, so as to effectively improve the participation of patients in exercise rehabilitation.

Background::Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and diameter, stiffness, and wave reflections, are independent and important clinical biomarkers and risk predictors for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to establish nationwide reference values of carotid properties for healthy Chinese adults and to explore potential clinical determinants.Methods::A total of 3053 healthy Han Chinese adults (1922 women) aged 18-79 years were enrolled at 28 collaborating tertiary centers throughout China between April 2021 and July 2022. The real-time tracking of common carotid artery walls was achieved by the radio frequency (RF) ultrasound system. The IMT, diameter, compliance coefficient, β stiffness, local pulse wave velocity (PWV), local systolic blood pressure, augmented pressure (AP), and augmentation index (AIx) were then automatically measured and reported. Data were stratified by age groups and sex. The relationships between age and carotid property parameters were analyzed by Jonckheere-Terpstra test and simple linear regressions. The major clinical determinants of carotid properties were identified by Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and analyses of covariance.Results::All the parameters of carotid properties demonstrated significantly age-related trajectories. Women showed thinner IMT, smaller carotid diameter, larger AP, and AIx than men. The β stiffness and PWV were significantly higher in men than women before forties, but the differences reversed after that. The increase rate of carotid IMT (5.5 μm/year in women and 5.8 μm/year in men) and diameter (0.03 mm/year in both men and women) were similar between men and women. For the stiffness and wave reflections, women showed significantly larger age-related variations than men as demonstrated by steeper regression slopes (all P for age by sex interaction <0.05). The blood pressures, body mass index (BMI), and triglyceride levels were identified as major clinical determinants of carotid properties with adjustment of age and sex. Conclusions::The age- and sex-specific reference values of carotid properties measured by RF ultrasound for healthy Chinese adults were established. The blood pressures, BMI, and triglyceride levels should be considered for clinical application of corresponding reference values.

With the continuous progress of research methodology in the real world and the growing maturity of artificial intelligence technology, a method for conducting “quantitative” research to guide clinical practice based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment data was gradually developed. However, there is still a need for further improvements in the overall design of studies and the transformation of findings into clinical practice. Based on this, we put forward a comprehensive overall design concept and application approach for real-world study and artificial intelligence research based on clinical diagnosis and treatment data of TCM. This approach consists of five steps: Constructing a research-based database with a large sample size and high data quality; Mining and classification of core prescriptions; Conducting cohort studies to evaluate the effectiveness of core prescriptions; Utilizing case-control studies to clarify the dominant population; Establishing predictive models to achieve precision medicine. Additionally, it is imperative for researchers to establish a standardized system for collecting TCM variables and processing data, optimize the determination and measurement methods of confounding factors, further improve and promote methodologies, and strengthen the training of interdisciplinary talents. By following this research method, we anticipate that the clinical translation of research findings will be facilitated, leading to advancements in TCM precision medicine. Real-world study and artificial intelligence research share similar research foundations, and clinical applications complement each other. In the future, the two will merge together.

Objective:To explore the current status of radiological protection knowledge, attitude and practice of nurses in Interventional Catheterization Room, and analyze their influencing factors so as to provide a basis for formulating intervention strategies.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From April to May 2021, convenience sampling was adopted to select 240 nurses in Interventional Catheterization Room from 32 hospitals of member units of the China Heart Federation as the research subject. The self-designed General Information Questionnaire and the Radiological Protection Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Scale for Interventional Catheterization Room Nurses were used for investigation. Single factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of radiological protection knowledge, attitude and practice among nurses of Interventional Catheterization Room. A total of 240 questionnaires were issued, and 220 valid questionnaires were returned with the valid response rate of 91.67%.Results:Among 220 nurses in Interventional Catheterization Room, the scores of radiological protection knowledge, attitude and practice dimensions were (5.92±1.83) , (29.15±1.97) , (43.76±5.73) , respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, hospital grade and training frequency were the influencing factors of radiological protection knowledge of nurses in Interventional Catheterization Room, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The training frequency and the type of radiological protective equipment were the influencing factors of the radiation protection attitude of nurses in Interventional Catheterization Room, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Gender, training frequency, regular monitoring of radiation dosimeters, and types of radiation protective equipment were the influencing factors of radiation protective practice of nurses in Interventional Catheterization Room ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Interventional Catheterization Room nurses have a low level of radiological protection knowledge, and their attitudes towards radiological protection are relatively positive, but their radiological protection practice is not in place. The radiation protection training of nurses in Interventional Catheterization Room should be optimized, and adequate and high-quality protective equipment should be provided, and gender-specific management should be conducted, personal radiation dose monitoring should be standardized, and the radiation guidance role of Class Ⅲ hospitals should be used to ensure the safety and health of medical and nursing staff.
