2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19)is a serious acute infectious disease caused by novel coronavirus(SARS CoV-2)infection,with fever,dry cough and fatigue as the main symptoms.In recent years,studies have suggested that the male reproductive system can be directly invaded by novel coronavirus,with the testis as one of its target organs.Therefore,infection with novel coronavirus can cause the development and aggravation of such diseases as male erectile dysfunction,male infertility,prosta-titis,etc.However,no consensus has been reached whether such impacts will be mitigated or remain after recovery from COVID-19,and few reports are available on the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 inducing male reproductive diseases based on the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medicine.This review systematically summarizes the impacts of SARS-CoV-2 on male reproductive health and the etiological principles in the perspective of both TCM and Western medicine.

Mitochondrial dynamics refer to two modes of move-ment:mitochondrial fission and mitochondrial fusion.Stimula-tion from internal and external sources promotes the occurrence of mitochondrial dynamic changes,supporting cellular functional changes to adapt to physiological and pathological changes.This article systematically reviews relevant literature,providing an o-verview of the dynamic changes in mitochondrial fission/fusion from both physiological and pathological perspectives.It summa-rizes the essence of these changes by highlighting functional al-terations,including ion homeostasis,redox balance,energy me-tabolism,and programmed death signaling,and reveals the un-derlying mechanisms of action.Additionally,by focusing on key cellular components in allergic diseases,it discusses the impact of functional alterations in mitochondrial dynamic division/fusion on allergic diseases.Progressively examining the concept,func-tional alterations,and impact on allergic diseases,this study es-tablishes a connection between mitochondrial fission/fusion dy-namics and key cellular components of allergic diseases.It con-structs a networked map that outlines how these dynamics modu-late the progression of allergic diseases through diverse cellular components,aiming to guide mechanistic studies and systematic treatments for these diseases.

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of trauma orthopedic implant management on the operating room in-fection control rate and the medical device vendor follow-up rate.METHODS Trauma orthopedic implant manage-ment was implemented at Shaoxing People's Hospital from Mar.2023 to Mar.2024,involving 2 047 trauma or-thopedic surgeries(study group).For comparison,a control group consisting of 2 067 trauma orthopedic surger-ies from Mar.2022 to Feb.2023 under routine management was selected.The impact of trauma orthopedic im-plant management on operating room efficiency,infection control rate and medical device vendor follow-up rate in both groups were analyzed.RESULTS The study group showed satisfaction rates of 78.65％and 91.35％for cir-culating cooperation familiarity and handwashing cooperation familiarity,respectively,both higher than those in the control group(P＜0.001).The study group also demonstrated higher rates of standardized use of orthopedic trauma implants(96.43％),accurate item-code correspondence(98.19％)and timely availability(98.19％)than those in the control group,with a lower medical device vendor follow-up rate of 3.57％(P＜0.001).The study group's monthly overtime hours,costs,time costs,average cost per re-disinfection and re-cleaning service and monthly re-disinfection re-cleaning frequency were 13.85 hours,235.86 yuan/day,25 233.51 yuan,0.35 yuan/time and 183.81 times/month,respectively,all lower than those in the control group(P＜0.001).The study group had higher rates of consumable access compliance(99.22％),accurate charging(98.58％)and timely delivery(97.90％)than the control group(P＜0.001).The study group also achieved a 100.00％implant regulatory recovery rate,higher than the control group(P＜0.001).Furthermore,the surgical site infection rate in the study group was 1.91％,lower than that in the control group(P＜0.001).CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a trauma orthopedic implant management system integrating supply chain management,an identification system and IoT technology.This model effectively addresses core issues such as the difficulty in regulating multiple vendors,blind spots in virtual warehousing and disorder in item-code tracing under the traditional vendor self-management model.It significantly improves operating room efficiency,reduces the surgical site infection rate,and achieves a notable decrease in the medical device vendor follow-up rate.

This review has introduced the Coronary Artery Tree description and Lesion EvaluaTion(CatLet or Hexu)angiographic scoring system,which,based solely on coronary angiography results,has characterized 6 types of right coronary artery,3 types of left descending artery,and 3 types of diagonal size,together resulting in 54 types of coronary circulation pattern.This novel angiographic scoring system can be utilized to account for coronary anatomy in its diversity,severity and complexity of diseased coronary arteries,and their subtended myocardial territories in jeopardy.The CatLet angiographic scoring system is unique in that the importance of a coronary artery is weighted according to its subtended myocardial segments,by which the variability of coronary artery has been accounted for and measured.Researchers at home and abroad have increasingly paid attention to its clinical utilities,which warrant further validation in the context of large sample size,prospective,and randomized controlled trials.The CatLet angiographic scoring system is accessible at www.catletscore.com.

Objective To compare the accuracy and clinical application value of contrast-induced fractional flow reserve(cFFR),resting full-cycle ratio(RFR),and quantitative flow ratio(QFR)in evaluating coronary artery borderline lesions,using fractional flow reserve(FFR)as the gold standard.Methods A retrospective study was conducted including 143 patients with 143 lesions who underwent coronary angiography(CAG)and were tested for cFFR,RFR,QFR,and FFR at Peking University Third Hospital from September 2020 to January 2022.Clinical data,CAG lesion anatomical data,and target vessel cFFR,RFR,QFR,and FFR measurements were collected.The correlation and diagnostic concordance of cFFR,RFR,QFR,and FFR were analyzed.Results The mean age of the 143 patients was 66(58,71)years,with 90(62.9％)being male.Among them,60(42.0％)patients were diagnosed with unstable angina,and 115(80.4％)target lesions were located in the left anterior descending artery.Correlation analysis showed that RFR,QFR,and cFFR were all significantly correlated with FFR(r=0.956,r=0.861,r=0.751,P＜0.001).Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated high agreement between cFFR,RFR,QFR,and FFR.Receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for RFR corresponding to FFR ≤0.80 was 0.92(95％CI 0.87-0.96),for QFR was 0.89(95％CI 0.83-0.95),and for cFFR was 0.96(95％CI 0.94-0.99).Conclusions cFFR,RFR,and QFR show high concordance with FFR,with similar diagnostic consistency between the three methods and FFR.

Aim To investigate the pharmacological effects of Kochia scoparia in treating osteoporosis(OP)and explore its therapeutic mechanisms using network pharmacology methods and in vitro experiments.Meth-ods The main chemical components and the targets of Kochia scoparia were screened through literature que-ries and databases such as SwissTargetPrediction.Dis-ease targets for osteoporosis were mined using Gene-Cards and OMIM databases with"osteoporosis"as the keyword,and the intersection of the two was taken to obtain the targets for Kochia scoparia in treating osteo-porosis.The STRING database was applied to construct the core target protein-protein interaction network,the DAVID database was utilized for functional and signa-ling pathway enrichment analysis to further explore the therapeutic effects of Kochia scoparia on osteoporosis and the underlying mechanisms;molecular docking was performed using AutoDock software.Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)were cultured in vitro,and the effects of the active components of Kochia scoparia,Zingibroside R1,Chikusetsusaponin IVa,and Momordin Ic,on cell viability were detected by CCK-8.After osteogenic induction,osteogenic differentiation a-bility of BMSCs was detected by alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining;the expression of os-teogenic-related protein RUNX2 was detected by West-ern blot.Results A total of 573 targets related to Kochia scoparia and 5 774 targets related to osteoporo-sis were screened,with 346 intersection targets between them.KEGG pathway enrichment mainly included cancer pathways,PI3K-AKT signaling pathways,and HIF-1 signaling pathways,etc.The main core targets included TNF,AKT1,SRC,STAT3,EGFR,HIF-1α,etc.The active components of Kochia scoparia signifi-cantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation ability of BMSCs.Conclusions The multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway mechanisms of Kochia scopar-ia in the treatment of osteoporosis were preliminarily e-lucidated,providing new ideas for further research on the mechanisms of Kochia scoparia in treating osteopo-rosis.

Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0％.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1％.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26％(range:0％-23.64％),with an upper quartile value of 0.74％.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P＜0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74％.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95％CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95％CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95％CI:2.402-19.738,P＜0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.
