BACKGROUND: Spicy food consumption has been reported to be inversely associated with mortality from multiple diseases. However, the effect of spicy food intake on the incidence of vascular diseases in the Chinese population remains unclear. This study was conducted to explore this association. METHODS: This study was performed using the large-scale China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) prospective cohort of 486,335 participants. The primary outcomes were vascular disease, ischemic heart disease (IHD), major coronary events (MCEs), cerebrovascular disease, stroke, and non-stroke cerebrovascular disease. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the association between spicy food consumption and incident vascular diseases. Subgroup analysis was also performed to evaluate the heterogeneity of the association between spicy food consumption and the risk of vascular disease stratified by several basic characteristics. In addition, the joint effects of spicy food consumption and the healthy lifestyle score on the risk of vascular disease were also evaluated, and sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the reliability of the association results. RESULTS: During a median follow-up time of 12.1 years, a total of 136,125 patients with vascular disease, 46,689 patients with IHD, 10,097 patients with MCEs, 80,114 patients with cerebrovascular disease, 56,726 patients with stroke, and 40,098 patients with non-stroke cerebrovascular disease were identified. Participants who consumed spicy food 1-2 days/week (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.95, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = [0.93, 0.97], P <0.001), 3-5 days/week (HR = 0.96, 95% CI = [0.94, 0.99], P = 0.003), and 6-7 days/week (HR = 0.97, 95% CI = [0.95, 0.99], P = 0.002) had a significantly lower risk of vascular disease than those who consumed spicy food less than once a week ( Ptrend <0.001), especially in those who were younger and living in rural areas. Notably, the disease-based subgroup analysis indicated that the inverse associations remained in IHD ( Ptrend = 0.011) and MCEs ( Ptrend = 0.002) risk. Intriguingly, there was an interaction effect between spicy food consumption and the healthy lifestyle score on the risk of IHD ( Pinteraction = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Our findings support an inverse association between spicy food consumption and vascular disease in the Chinese population, which may provide additional dietary guidance for the prevention of vascular diseases.

Objective To explore the application effect of prone position ventilation combined with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in the treatment of severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after lung transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 75 lung transplant recipients who developed severe PGD after lung transplantation and were treated with VV-ECMO from January 2021 to June 2024 at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were collected. The patients with severe graft dysfunction after lung transplantation were divided into VV-ECMO group (control group, 45 cases) and prone position ventilation combined with VV-ECMO group (treatment group, 30 cases). The general data of the two groups of patients were compared, including the donors' clinical data (age, gender and oxygenation index, etc) and the recipients' clinical data [gender, age and body mass index (BMI), etc]. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the recipients' 30-day, 90-day and 180-day survival after surgery. The survival curves of the two groups of recipients were drawn using Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Results The intensive care unit (ICU) stay time, ECMO application time and ventilator use time of control group were longer than those of treatment group. The proportion of male recipients and the BMI of control group were lower than those of treatment group. The 30-day, 90-day and 180-day survival of control group was worse than that of treatment group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The univariate Cox regression analysis of the recipients' 30-day survival after surgery showed that the recipients' BMI, history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle, intraoperative blood transfusion volume and intraoperative red blood cell transfusion volume were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes and enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle were risk factors affecting the 30-day survival of lung transplant recipients (all P<0.05). The univariate Cox regression analysis of the recipients' 90-day survival after surgery showed that the recipients' BMI, history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, intraoperative red blood cell transfusion volume and group variable were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle and group variable were risk factors affecting the 90-day survival of lung transplant recipients (all P<0.05). The univariate Cox regression analysis of the recipients' 180-day survival after surgery showed that the recipients' BMI, history of diabetes, right atrium and right ventricle enlargement, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, intraoperative red blood cell transfusion volume and group variable were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes, enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle and group variable were risk factors affecting the 180-day survival of lung transplant recipients (all P<0.05). The 30-day, 90-day and 180-day survival rates of control group were lower, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05), with a median survival time of 100 days in control group. Conclusions In the clinical treatment of severe PGD after lung transplantation, prone position ventilation combined with VV-ECMO may shorten ECMO application time, invasive ventilation time and ICU stay time, and improve the short-term prognosis of lung transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of the suture anchor technique without knots for reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) combined with the reinforcement of the inferior extensor retinaculum in treating chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). METHODS: The clinical data of 31 patients with CLAI who were admitted between August 2017 and December 2023 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. There were 18 males and 13 females, with an age range from 20 to 48 years (mean, 34.6 years). All patients had a history of repeated ankle sprain, with a disease duration of 6-18 months (mean, 9.65 months). The anterior drawer test and inversion stress test were positive, and tenderness was present in the ligament area. Stress X-ray films of the ankle joint showed a talar tilt angle of (10.00±2.78)° and an anterior talar displacement of (9.48±1.96) mm on the affected side. MRI revealed discontinuity, tortuosity, or disappearance of the ATFL structure. Preoperatively, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 5.2±2.1, and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 62.9±7.1. All patients underwent arthroscopic debridement of the ankle joint followed by reconstruction of the ATFL using the suture anchor technique without knots combined with reinforcement of the inferior extensor retinaculum. Postoperatively, pain and function were assessed using the VAS and AOFAS scores. Stress X-ray films were taken to measure the talar tilt angle and anterior talar displacement to evaluate changes in ankle joint stability. Patient satisfaction was assessed according to the Insall criteria. RESULTS: All 31 surgeries were successfully completed. One case had wound exudation, while the remaining surgical incisions healed by first intention. Two cases experienced numbness on the lateral aspect of the foot, which disappeared within 1 month after operation. All patients were followed up 15-84 months (mean, 47.2 months). No complication such as anchor loosening, recurrent lateral ankle instability, superficial peroneal nerve injury, rejection reaction, or wound infection occurred postoperatively. The anterior drawer test and inversion stress test were negative at 3 months after operation. Stress X-ray films taken at 3 months after operation showed the talar tilt angle of (2.86±1.72)° and the anterior talar displacement of (2.97±1.32) mm, both of which were significantly different from the preoperative values ( t=12.218, P<0.001; t=15.367, P<0.001). At last follow-up, 2 patients had ankle swelling after exercise, which resolved spontaneously with rest; all 31 patients returned to their pre-injury level of sports or had no significant discomfort in daily activities. At last follow-up, 25 patients were pain-free, 4 had mild pain after exercise, and 2 had mild pain after walking more than 2 000 meters. The VAS score was 0.8±0.9 and the AOFAS score was 91.6±4.1, both of which were significantly different from the preoperative scores ( t=10.851, P<0.001; t=-19.514, P<0.001). According to the Insall criteria, 24 patients were rated as excellent, 4 as good, and 3 as fair, with a satisfaction rate of 90.3%. CONCLUSION The suture anchor technique without knots for reconstruction of the ATFL combined with reinforcement of the inferior extensor retinaculum provides satisfactory short- and mid-term effectiveness in treating CLAI.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of single pass scanning using muti-slice spiral CT for polytrauma patients.Methods:Totally 60 polytrauma patients treated from January to November in 2023 were randomly enrolled in this study. They were categorized into an experimental group and a control group using a random number table, with 30 patients in each group. The patients in the experimental group underwent single pass scaning for the head, neck, chest, and abdomen, whereas those in the control group receiving separate scanning for various parts. Then, the noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise (CNR) of the CT images of both groups were recorded. Furthermore, the objective and subjective evaluation, volume CT dose index (CTDI vol), effective dose ( E), scanning time, and scan ranges of the images were compared between both groups. Results:Compared to the control group, the test group exhibited lower SNR of the head ( t = -5.47, P < 0.05) and higher SNR and CNR of the chest scans ( t = -5.95, -6.15, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the test group demonstrated decreased ED, CTDIvol, scanning time, and scan range, which dropped from 18.53 mSv to 13.81 mSv ( t = 3.29, P < 0.001), from 15.77 mGy to 10.59 mGy ( t = 4.48, P< 0.001), from 31.68 s to 10.97 s ( t = 6.95, P < 0.001), and from 64.92 cm to 45.21 cm ( t = 9.05, P < 0.001), respectively compared to the control group. Conclusions:Single pass CT scanning can reduce E, scanning time, and scan range in the treatment of polytrauma patients while ensuring the high quality of CT images, thus warranting wide clinical applications.

Objective:To evaluate the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) related outcomes during hospitalization during the intensive care unit (ICU) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients with high body mass index (BMI, >25 kg/m 2) undergoing lung transplantation with ECMO support. Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. IPF patients who received ECMO during lung transplantation admitted to the Affiliated Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2019 to 2020 were enrolled. Preoperative indicators including, demographics, comorbidities, arterial blood gas, and laboratory indicators; intraoperative indicators, such as lung lobe volume reduction, surgical type, surgical time, cold ischemia time, blood loss and transfusion volume; immediate indicators upon admission to the ICU, such as blood gas analysis and laboratory indicators; ECMO related outcomes, such as ECMO mode, ECMO support time, ECMO related complications (bleeding at the catheterization site, intraductal thrombosis, lower limb ischemia), and the length of ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and 30-day survival rate were collected. According to BMI, patients were divided into three groups: light weight group (BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2), normal weight group (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m 2), and overweight group (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m 2). Mainly to compare the relevant outcomes of ECMO among patients during ICU. Results:A total of 114 IPF patients who received ECMO support during lung transplantation were collected, including 23 cases in the light weight group, 63 cases in the normal weight group, and 28 cases in the overweight group. Compared with patients with underweight and normal weight, overweight patients were more likely to have hypertension (46.4% vs. 8.7%, 23.8%, P < 0.01) and coronary heart disease (32.1% vs. 4.3%, 20.6%, P < 0.05) before surgery, which was consistent with international guidelines for obesity. Other clinical data (preoperative, intraoperative, ICU characteristics) showed no statistically significant differences and were comparable. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of ECMO related outcomes, such as ECMO related complications [veno-venous (V-V) mode: 78.3%, 77.8%, 78.6%, veno-arterial (V-A) mode: 21.7%, 22.2%, 21.4%], ECMO support time (hours: 61.70±20.03, 44.57±5.76, 41.77±7.26), ECMO related complications (bleeding at the catheterization site: 4.3%, 7.9%, 14.3%; intraductal thrombosis: 8.7%, 12.7%, 17.9%; lower limb ischemia: 8.7%, 12.7%, 14.3%), and the length of ICU stay (days: 11±3, 7±1, 9±1), duration of mechanical ventilation [days: 2 (2, 11), 2 (2, 6), 3 (2, 8)] among the light weight group, normal weight group, and overweight group (all P > 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the 30-day cumulative survival rate among the three groups (Log-Rank test: χ2 = 0.919, P = 0.632). Conclusions:High BMI does not worsen ECMO-related outcomes or adversely affect early prognosis in IPF patients undergoing lung transplantation. BMI as a single parameter should not be a contraindication for the use of ECMO in lung transplantation surgery for IPF patients.

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience. This article summarizes the experience of constructing a hospital infection prevention and control system during the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category A" period in designated hospital. The experience is summarized as the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system, namely "three rings" outside, middle and inside, "three districts" of green, orange and red, "three things" before, during and after the event, "two-day pre-purification" and "two-director system", and "one zone" management. In emergency situations, we adopt a simplified version of the cluster hospital infection prevention and control system. In emergency situations, a simplified version of the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system can be adopted. This system has the following characteristics: firstly, the system emphasizes the characteristics of "cluster" and the overall management of key measures to avoid any shortcomings. The second, it emphasizes the transformation of infection control concepts to maximize the safety of medical services through infection control. The third, it emphasizes the optimization of the process. The prevention and control measures should be comprehensive and focused, while also preventing excessive use. The measures emphasize the use of the least resources to achieve the best infection control effect. The fourth, it emphasizes the quality control work of infection control, pays attention to the importance of the process, and advocates the concept of "system slimming, process fattening". Fifthly, it emphasizes that the future development depends on artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of prevention and control to the greatest extent. Sixth, hospitals need to strengthen continuous training and retraining. We utilize diverse training methods, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that infection control policies and procedures are simple. We have established an evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure that medical personnel are in an emergency state at all times.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between postoperative driving pressure (DP) and the prognosis of lung transplantation, and to further evaluate the value of early DP monitoring in lung transplantation. METHODS: A observational study was conducted. The patients after lung transplantation who admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Wuxi People's Hospital from February 1, 2022 to February 1, 2023 were collected. They were divided into low DP group (DP≤15 cmH₂O, 1 cmH₂O ≈ 0.098 kPa) and high DP group (DP > 15 cmH₂O) according to DP within 2 hours after operation. The clinical data including general information, primary disease, chronic diseases, cardiopulmonary function, laboratory indicators, intraoperative condition, postoperative lactic acid (Lac) and ventilator parameters were collected. Primary outcomes included 28-day and 90-day survival, and secondary outcomes included occurrence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD), duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), duration of mechanical ventilation, weaning of mechanical ventilation, and length of ICU stay. The general data and observations between the two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis was conducted to analyze the situation of mechanical ventilation and 90-day survival. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the predictive ability of DP for failed weaning of mechanical ventilation and 90-day death. The dose-response relationship between DP and 90-day death risk was determined by restricted cubic spline model. Univariate analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: A total of 101 patients were enrolled, with 68 patients (67.3%) in the low DP group and 33 patients (32.7%) in the high DP group. No statistically significant difference in general information, chronic diseases, primary diseases, cardiopulmonary function, laboratory indicators, intraoperative conditions, and postoperative Lac between the two groups was found. Compared with the low DP group, the patients in the high DP group had higher inspiratory pressure (Pinsp) and incidence of PGD with grade 3 at 24 hours after operation [Pinsp (cmH₂O): 21.0±0.6 vs. 20.0±0.7, PGD with grade 3 at 24 hours: 60.6% (20/33) vs. 39.7% (27/68), both P < 0.05], longer duration of ECMO, duration of mechanical ventilation, and the length of ICU stay [duration of ECMO (hours): 37 (21, 109) vs. 22 (14, 43), duration of mechanical ventilation (days): 3.1 (1.8, 10.7) vs. 1.9 (1.1, 3.2), length of ICU stay (days): 6 (3, 13) vs. 4 (3, 5), all P < 0.05], and lower successful weaning rate of mechanical ventilation [81.8% (27/33) vs. 95.6% (65/68), P < 0.05). The 28-day and 90-day survival rates in the high DP group were significantly higher than those in the low DP group [28-day: 69.7% (23/33) vs. 86.8% (59/68), 90-day: 63.6% (21/33) vs. 83.8% (57/68), both P < 0.05]. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the patients in the low DP group were weaned and extubated earlier than high DP group, and the cumulative situation of weaning was better (Log-Rank test: χ ² = 14.054, P < 0.001), and the 90-day cumulative survival rate in the low DP group was significantly higher than that in the high DP group (Log-Rank test: χ ² = 4.791, P = 0.029). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of DP for predicting 90-day death was 0.664 [95% confidence internal (95%CI) was 0.540-0.787, P = 0.017], and the AUC for predicting failed weaning of mechanical ventilation was 0.794 (95%CI was 0.667-0.921, P = 0.004). Results of restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that the 90-day death risk continued to increase with the DP < 18 cmH₂O; when DP≥18 cmH₂O, elevated DP did not continue to increase the 90-day death risk, showing a plateau effect. Univariate analysis showed that DP was independent risk factors of 90-day death, and the death risk increased by 9.3% for every 1 cmH₂O increase in DP [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.093, 95%CI was 1.007-1.186, P = 0.033]. CONCLUSIONS DP is an independent risk factor of death after lung transplantation, and early postoperative DP may be used as a predictor of failed weaning of mechanical ventilation and 90-day death after lung transplantation.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Dendrobium huoshanense polysaccharide （DHP） against inflammatory damage of neurons in Parkinson's disease （PD） model. MethodSH-SY5Y cells were randomized into blank group， model group， and DHP group. The survival rate of cells was measured by thiazole blue（MTT） assay， and the levels of lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， reactive oxygen species （ROS）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， and superoxide dismutase （SOD） were measured by colorimetric analysis. BV-2 microglia were classified into blank group， model group， DHP group， and MCC950 group （positive control group）， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was applied to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-18 （IL-18）. The expression of NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， adaptor protein apoptosis-associated dot protein （ASC）， cysteine aspartic protease-1 （Caspase-1）， and IL-1β was measured by Western blot. A total of 50 C57BL/6 mice were randomized into blank group， model group， DHP low-dose （100 mg·kg^-1） group， DHP equivalent-dose （350 mg·kg^-1） group， and MCC950 group （positive control group）， 10 mice in each group. The motor balance and coordination of C57BL/6 mice were observed by beam walking test， tail suspension test and rotarod test. The levels of Iba-1 and tyrosine hydroxylase （TH） were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The damage of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra was detected by FJB staining. The levels of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α in mouse midbrain tissues were detected by ELISA and the protein levels of NLRP3， ASC， Caspase-1， and IL-1β protein were measured by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group， the SH-SY5Y model group showed decreased cell survival， increased levels of LDH， ROS， and MDA （P<0.05）， and decreased levels of SOD （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the DHP group demonstrated increased cell survival， decreased levels of LDH， ROS， and MDA （P<0.01）， and increased level of SOD （P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， BV-2 model group had high levels of IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.05） and high protein expression of NLRP3， Caspase-1， IL-1β， and ASC （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， DHP and MCC950 groups demonstrated low levels of IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.01） and low protein expression of NLRP3， Caspase-1， IL-1β， and ASC （P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， the C57BL/6 model group displayed long time to pass the balance wood （P<0.05）， short time spent on the rod in the rotarod test （P<0.05）， high levels of IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.05） and expression of Iba-1 in the midbrain substantia nigra （P<0.05）， low TH expression （P<0.05）， more positive neurons in the FJB staining （P<0.05）， and high expression of NLRP3， Caspase-1， ASC， and IL-1β proteins （P < 0.05）. Compared with the model group， the mice in the DHP and MCC950 groups had short time to pass the balance beam （P<0.01）， long time spent on the rod （P<0.01）， low levels of IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， low Iba-1 expression in midbrain substantia nigra （P<0.01）， high TH expression （P<0.01）， and small number of positive neurons in the midbrain substantia nigra （P<0.01）. The expression of NLRP3， ASC， and IL-1β proteins was lower in the MCC950 group （P<0.01）， and the expression of NLRP3， ASC， Caspase-1 and IL-1β proteins was lower in the DHP equivalent-dose group （P<0.01） than in the model group. ConclusionDHP has anti-oxidative stress effect. It regulates the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and inhibits the overactivation of microglia， thereby alleviating the neuroinflammatory injury in PD and exerting the neuroprotective effect.

Ferroptosis is a newly-emerged pattern of programmed cell death discovered in recent years, which is defined as iron-dependent programmed necrosis mediated by lipid peroxidation damage. As a conservative procedure, ferroptosis plays a vital role in the development and diseases of multiple organisms including plants and animals. Since ferroptosis was first reported in 2012, growing interests have been diverted to the process of ferroptosis and its role in disease treatment. Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a common pathological process during organ transplantation, and ferroptosis is considered as one of the main patterns inducing ischemia-reperfusion injury. Consequently, the definition, regulatory mechanism and the mechanisms of ferroptosis in ischemia-reperfusion injury after kidney, liver, heart and lung transplantations were reviewed, aiming to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury in organ transplantation.
