Background::The increasing incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presents significant medical and societal challenges. A well-designed IBD database is crucial for both epidemiological studies and clinical management. However, inconsistencies between regional databases hinder cross-institutional and international research, especially between Eastern and Western societies.Methods::We developed a new IBD database, the 301 IBD database, integrating the IBD clinical characteristics from the Penn IBD database (USA) and the latest IBD guidelines and consensus and clinical practices of the Chinese PLA General Hospital (PLAGH). We applied this database to analyze clinical data of IBD inpatients at PLAGH from 2008 to 2023.Results::The 301 IBD database contains 490 items in 6 sections including demographic characteristics, personal history, clinical phenotype, disease activity, laboratory tests and examinations, and treatment. Features of the 301 IBD database include inpatient focus, biochemical indicators and opportunistic infection focus, and more about ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated complications. Single-center analysis revealed an increasing hospitalization trend, from 2.35% in 2008 to 3.94% in 2023. We found that the clinical characteristics of our UC inpatients are predominantly male (62.5%), extensive lesions (55.1%), low usage of biologics (4.1%), and a high incidence of UC-CRC (3.0%). The clinical characteristics of CD inpatients included male predominance (68.39%), early onset age (35.43 ± 14.75-year-old), and high rate of surgery (25.81%).Conclusion::The 301 IBD database, integrating Eastern and Western clinical data, provides a valuable tool for IBD clinical research. Future international, multicenter collaborations are expected to further enhance its utility.

Objective To investigate the application value of Revolution CT dual-low technique coronary angiography in coronary heart disease.Methods One hundred patients with suspected coronary heart disease were retrospectively selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group,who all were examined by Revolution CT.In the control group(50 cases),the tube voltage was 120 kV,the contrast agent iohexol was 350 mg I/mL,and the dose of contrast agent was 1 mL/kg.In the observation group(50 cases),the tube voltage was 100 kV,the contrast agent iohexol was 350 mg I/mL,and the dose of contrast agent was 0.8 mL/kg.All patients underwent coronary digital subtraction angiography(DSA)examination at the same time.The image quality(subjective and objective evaluation indexes)and radiation dose of the two groups were compared,the diagnostic value of the two methods for coronary artery stenosis was compared,and the diagnostic consistency with coronary DSA between the two methods were compared using the Kappa test,as well as the typical coronary images of the two groups were analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in the sub-jective image quality grade and excellence rate between the observation group and the control group(P＞0.05).The CT value and noise of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differ-ences in the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of the right coronary proximal and the left coronary main trunk between the two groups(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the volume CT dose index(CTDIvol),dose length product(DLP),and effective dose(ED)were lower in the observation group(P＜0.05).Compared with the results of coronary DSA,the positive predictive value,negative predictive value,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the two methods were＞80％,while there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The Kappa value of the observation group versus coronary DSA diagnosis was 0.871,the Kappa value of the control group ver-sus coronary DSA diagnosis was 0.889,and the consistency of both methods versus coronary DSA diagnosis was good.Conclusion Revolution CT dual-low technigue coronary angiography has good diagnostic value for coronary heart disease and can significantly reduce the radiation dose while ensuring image quality.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the early effectiveness of transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation assisted by augmented reality navigation system HoloSight (hereinafter referred to as "computer navigation system") in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made in the 41 patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries who had been treated surgically with transiliac-transsacral screws between June 2022 and June 2023. The patients were divided into navigation group (18 cases, using computer navigation system to assist screw implantation) and freehand group (23 cases, using C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy to guide screw implantation) according to the different methods of transiliac-transsacral screws placement. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, causes of injuries, Tile classification of pelvic fracture, days from injury to operation, usage of unlocking closed reduction technique between the two groups ( P>0.05). The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, the guide wire adjustment times of each screw, and the incidence of complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. The position of the transiliac-transsacral screw was scanned by CT within 2 days after operation, and the position of the screw was classified according to Gras standard. RESULTS: The operation was successfully completed in both groups. The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, and the guide wire adjustment times of each screw in the navigation group were significantly less than those in the freehand group ( P<0.05). There were 2 cases of incision infection in the freehand group, and the incision healed by first intention after active dressing change; there was no screw-related complication in the navigation group during operation and early period after operation; the difference in incidence of complications between the two groups (8.7% vs. 0) was not significant ( P=0.495). According to the Gras standard, the screw position of the navigation group was significantly better than that of the freehand group ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with the traditional freehand method, the computer navigation system assisted transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries has advantages of improving the accuracy of screw implantation and reducing radiation damage and the time of screw implantation.

【Objective】 To investigate dynamic regional homogeneity (dReHo) abnormality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients by using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). 【Methods】 A total of 26 ESRD patients and 26 healthy controls (HC) matched in gender, education level and age were included. Rs-fMRI scanning was performed in all subjects. All the subjects were tested by using auditory verbal learning test Huashan version (AVLT-H) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to assess cognitive function before collection of MRI data. T-test was used to observe the difference in dReHo at global level between the two groups. Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses were made to estimate the correlation between abnormal brain regions and clinical scales. 【Results】 Compared with HC group, the dReHo value in ESRD patients reduced on the bilateral superior margin gyrus, left insula, left posterior central gyrus, and left putamen (P<0.05, replacement test correction). The dReHo values of left superior margin gyrus (r=-0.534, P=0.005) and left insula in ESRD patients (r=-0.422, P=0.032) were negatively correlated with the LR-S score, and the dReHo value of the left margin was negatively correlated with the SR-S score (r=-0.468, P=0.016). 【Conclusion】 There are abnormal dReHo values in several brain regions in ESRD patients during resting state, which is related to the patients’ cognitive function. The variation of dReHo value provides a new objective imaging basis for evaluating the cognitive function of ESRD patients.

Objective:To compare the long-term prognosis between open versus closed reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures.Methods:The data of 402 consecutive patients with unstable pelvic fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated at The First Medical Center and The Fourth Medical Center, PLA General Hospital, and Strategic Support Force Specialty Medical Center from March 2011 to March 2017. This cohort was divided into 2 groups according to the reduction methods. In the open group of 194 cases subjected to open reduction and internal fixation, there were 133 males and 61 females with a median age of 43.0 (30.7, 51.0) years, and 35 cases of type B and 159 cases of type C by the Tile classification. In the closed group of 208 cases subjected to closed reduction and internal fixation, there were 115 males and 93 females with a median age of 45.5 (32.0, 56.0) years, and 40 cases of type B and 168 cases of type C by the Tile classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of 12-items Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) scores [physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS)] at the last follow-up, time from injury to operation, frequency of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy, intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion, operation time, and quality of postoperative fracture reduction.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the preoperative general data except for the gender, showing the 2 groups were comparable ( P>0.05). This cohort of 402 patients was followed up for 7.8(6.2, 8.8) years. At the last follow-up, the PCS [49.9 (45.4, 55.4) points] and MCS [53.1 (46.4, 57.6) points] in the closed group were significantly higher than those in the open group [48.2 (41.4, 52.7) and 46.5 (40.6, 53.6) points] ( P<0.05). The closed group incurred significantly shorter time from injury to operation [6 (5, 8) d] and operation time [180 (126, 260) min] than the open group [9 (6, 13) d and 240 (165, 334) min], significantly less intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion [1.5 (0, 4.0) U] than the open group [5.0 (2.9, 8.0) U], significantly higher frequency of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy [104.5 (85.0, 132.0) times] than the open group [21.0 (18.0, 26.0) times], and a significantly higher excellent and good rate of postoperative fracture reduction (92.8%, 193/208) than the open group (86.6%, 168/194) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of patients with unstable pelvic fractures, compared with open reduction and internal fixation, closed reduction and internal fixation can not only significantly shorten the waiting time and operation time of patients, reduce the transfusion during operation, but also achieve better fracture reduction to ultimately improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective: To observe the interventional effects of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) transfected with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) gene on monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in rats． Methods : ① HAMSCs were transfected with lentivirus carrying ACE2 gene，and the expression of ACE2，insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) ，granulocyte chemoattractant protein-2 ( GCP-2) gene，cell migration and tube formation ability was detected before and after transfection. ② Male，healthy，6-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into normal Control group ( Control group ) ，pulmonary hypertension group ( PAH group) ，human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell treatment group ( hAMSCs group) and ACE2-transfected human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell treatment group ( ACE2-hAMSCs group) ．The mean pulmonary arterial pressure ( mPAP) and right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI) were measured 2 weeks after the model was established. The lumen size of pulmonary arterioles and the thickness of vessel wall were observed by HE staining．The mRNA expression levels of GCP-2 ，ACE2 ，α-actin and angiotensin Ⅱ ( Ang Ⅱ ) in lung tissue were determined by QPCR . Results : In vitro cell experiments showed that the cell migration ability and tube formation ability of ACE2- hamscs were higher than those of pure hAMSCs (P＜0. 05) ．Ace2-hamscs up-regulated the mRNA expressions of ACE2 and pro-angiogenic factors IGF-1 and GCP-2 (P＜ 0. 01) ．After 2 weeks of intervention，the mPAP and cardiac RV/ LV + S of the PAH group significantly increased compared with the normal control group (P＜0. 01) ，and the mPAP and cardiac RV/ LV + S of the ACE2-hAMSCs group significantly decreased compared with the PAH and hAMSCs groups (P ＜0. 01 ) ． Compared with PAH group，the mRNA expression level of ACE2 significantly increased in the lung tissue of ACE2-hamscs group． Conclusion ACE2-hAMSCs can significantly reduce the mean pulmonary arterial pressure of monocrotaline (MCT) -induced PAH rat model，and significantly improve pulmonary vascular and right ventricular remodeling．The therapeutic effect of ACE2-hamscs is significant in hAMSCs group. It is considered that ACE2-hAMSCs may not only promote the paracrine effect of hAMSCs，The expression of provascular growth factors GCP2 and IGF-1 can repair the injured pulmonary vascular endothelial cells and reduce the high pressure of pulmonary artery．Moreover，the high expression of ACE2 in hAMSCsis related to the regulation of RAS.

Objective: To investigate adolescent haze weather health protection behavior, and to provide scientific basis for behavioral intervention and health guidance for adolescents in haze weather. Methods: From June 2015 to April 2016, 1 025 adolescents were selected from 22 classes in two middle schools of Baoding City, Hebei Province, by stratified cluster sampling method. General information questionnaire and the Brief Haze Weather Health Protection Behavior Assessment Scale Adolescent Version (BHWHPBAS AV) were used. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to explore factors affecting adolescent haze weather health protection behavior. Different models were used to confirm associations between influencing factors and BHWHPBAS AV scores. Results: Adolescents had a low overall score of BHWHPBASAV (45.81±13.16). The score rate of self adjustment after haze weather was the highest (64.54%). The score rate of obtaining relevant knowledge before haze weather was the lowest (50.28%). Compared with adolescents in urban area, rural adolescents had a lower BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=-3.20, P <0.01). Compared with students (living with parents), those living without parents had a lower BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=-4.16, P =0.01). Compared with students never receive physical examination,those had received physical examination during the past years had a higher BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=4.44，5.66，9.04, P <0.01). Compared with students with no knowledge of respiratory system diseases, those with moderate to sufficient knowledge had a higher BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=9.34，12.19，P <0.01). These associations were stable and consistent.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that residence, residence with parents, physical examination and knowledge of respiratory diseases were the relevant factors of BHWHPBAS AV score ( P <0.05). Conclusion Adolescent haze weather health protection behavior level is low and is affected by many factors. Cooperation should be strengthened to conduct behavioral interventions and health guidance on haze health protection for adolescents, so as to promote healthy growth of adolescents.

In recent years, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in China has been increasing year by year, and it has become a major public health concern. The prevention and control of chronic CVD is inseparable from effective early screening. However, due to the imbalance in the level of economic and social development in various parts of China, the universality and accessibility of screening in some areas still need to be improved. The fundus retinal blood vessel is the only vessel in the whole body that can be directly observed. Studies have found that its morphological and functional changes are related to the occurrence and development of many CVD, and it has the potential to become a tool for assessment and prediction. This review intends to introduce the research progress of retinal blood vessels in the evaluation and prediction of cardiovascular disease in recent years.

Purpose: Reduced quality of life after cystectomy has made bladder preservation a popular research topic for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Previous research has indicated significant tumor downstaging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). However, maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) was performed before NAC to define the pathology, impacting the real evaluation of NAC. This research aimed to assess real NAC efficacy without interference from TURBT and apply combined modality therapies guided by NAC efficacy. Materials and Methods: Patients with cT2-4aN0M0 MIBC were confirmed by cystoscopic biopsy and imaging. NAC efficacy was assessed by imaging, urine cytology, and cystoscopy with multidisciplinary team discussion. Definite responders (≤ T1) underwent TURBT plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Incomplete responders underwent radical cystectomy or partial cystectomy if feasible. The primary endpoint was the bladder preservation rate. Results: Fifty-nine patients were enrolled, and the median age was 63 years. Patients with cT3-4 accounted for 75%. The median number of NAC cycles was three. Definite responders were 52.5%. The complete response (CR) was 10.2%, and 59.3% of patients received bladder-sparing treatments. With a median follow-up of 44.6 months, the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 72.8%. Three-year OS and relapse-free survival were 88.4% and 60.0% in the bladder-sparing group but only 74.3% and 37.5% in the cystectomy group. The evaluations of preserved bladder function were satisfactory. Conclusion After stratifying MIBC patients by NAC efficacy, definite responders achieved a satisfactory bladder-sparing rate, prognosis, and bladder function. The CR rate reflected the real NAC efficacy for MIBC. This therapy is worth verifying through multicenter research.
