Objective To investigate the protective effects of HTD4010 against lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced septic cardiomyopathy(SCM)in mice and explore the mechanisms mediating its effect.Methods Forty-five male ICR mice were randomized equally into control group,LPS(10 mg/kg)group,and LPS+HTD4010 group(in which 2.5 mg/kg HTD4010 was injected subcutaneously at 1 h and 6 h after LPS injection).Cardiac function of the mice was evaluated by ultrasound,and pathological changes in the myocardial tissues were observed with HE staining.The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and myocardial tissues were detected using ELISA,and apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes was detected with TUNEL staining.The expression levels of the key proteins associated with apoptosis,autophagy and the AMPK/mTOR pathway in the myocardial tissues were detected using Western blotting.The ultrastructural changes of cardiac myocardial mitochondria was observed with transmission electron microscopy.Results LPS exposure caused severe myocardial damage in mice,characterized by myocardial fiber rupture,structural disorder,inflammatory cell infiltration,and mitochondrial damage.The LPS-treated mice exhibited significantly decreased cardiac LVEF and FS values,elevated IL-6 and TNF-αlevels in serum and myocardial tissue,and an increased myocardial cell apoptosis rate with enhanced expressions of Bax,p-62 and p-mTOR and lowered expressions of Bcl-2,LC3 Ⅱ/I,Beclin-1 and p-AMPK(P<0.05 or 0.01).Treatment of the septic mice with HTD4010 significantly alleviated myocardial damage,increased LVEF and FS values,reduced IL-6 and TNF-α levels in serum and myocardial tissue,decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis,lowered myocardial expressions of Bax,p-62 and p-mTOR,and increased Bcl-2,LC3 Ⅱ/I,Beclin-1 and p-AMPK expressions(P<0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion HTD4010 can attenuate myocardial injury in SCM mice possibly by promoting autophagy via modulating the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.

A GC-LSTM model is proposed based on the characteristics of global optimization of genetic algorithm.The model automatically and iteratively searches the optimal hyper-parameter configuration of the C-LSTM model through the genetic algorithm of a specific genetic strategy,and it is configured using the genetic iteration results and validated on the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database according to the classification criteria of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.The testing shows that the classification accuracy,sensitivity,accuracy and F1 value of GC-LSTM model are 99.37%,95.62%,95.17%and 95.39%,respectively,higher than those of the manually established model,and it is also advantageous over the existing mainstream methods.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better classification performance while avoiding a large number of experimental parameters.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of anterior column reconstruction using single or double titanium mesh cage (TMC) after total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) of thoracic and lumbar spinal tumors. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed involving 39 patients with thoracic or lumbar spinal tumors. All patients underwent TES, followed by anterior reconstruction and screw-rod instrumentation via a posterior-only procedure. Twenty-two patients in group A were treated with a single TMC to reconstruct the anterior column, whereas 17 patients in group B were reconstructed with double TMCs. Results: The overall follow-up is 20.5 ± 4.6 months. There is no significant difference between the 2 groups regarding age, sex, body mass index, tumor location, operative time, and intraoperative blood loss. The time for TMC placement was significantly shortened in the double TMCs group (5.2 ± 1.3 minutes vs. 15.6 ± 3.3 minutes, p = 0.004). Additionally, postoperative neural complications were significantly reduced with double TMCs (5/22 vs. 0/17, p = 0.046). The kyphotic Cobb angle and mean intervertebral height were significantly corrected in both groups (p ≤ 0.001), without obvious loss of correction at the last follow-up in either group. The bone fusion rates for single TMC and double TMCs were 77.3% and 76.5%, respectively. Conclusion Using 2 smaller TMCs instead of a single large one eases the placement of TMC by shortening the time and avoiding nerve impingement. Anterior column reconstruction with double TMC is a clinically feasible, and safe alternative following TES for thoracic and lumbar tumors.

Objective:This study is to understand the hot spots and trends in the recruitment of clinical trial subjects in China over the past 20 years, explore the existing problems and countermeasures, and provide scientific ideas for domestic clinical trial institutions to effectively solve the problem of subject recruitment.Methods:Bibliometric analysis was used to study the relevant literature from three major domestic databases from 2001 to 2021, analyzing key indicators such as annual publication volume, journal distribution, institutional distribution, regional distribution, and high-frequency keyword co-occurrence.Results:A total of 162 articles were selected. The results showed that the overall publication volume in this field showed an upward trend, and the research institutions were diversified, with a concentration of medical and pharmaceutical institutions and universities. The current research hotspots in this field focused on quality and efficiency improvement of subject recruitment, with themes of subject protection, ethical review, regulation development, standardized management, etc.Conclusions:The research in this field has made significant progress, but the overall research level is still relatively weak. Therefore, it is suggested that the country should play a role in macro-regulation, on the one hand, starting with top-level design, promoting the construction of a standardized management system for subject recruitment, continuously strengthening subject protection, and enhancing the effectiveness of scientific recruitment. On the other hand, releasing the potential of grassroots institutions and giving full play to the volume advantage by promoting the sinking of advantageous resources. Meanwhile, great importance should be attached to the development of Phase I clinical trials, giving full play to the strong internal energy of traditional medicine and promoting the development of Chinese traditional medicine. These multi-measures should provide a theoretical basis for exploring the transformation of ′clinical research hospitals′, and promote the high-quality development of new drug research and development in China.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation and influencing factors of health service demands of new residents in Shanghai. MethodsFrom July to August 2020， a questionnaire survey was conducted in 1 358 new residents from 36 survey points in 7 districts of the city. The questionnaire included the basic medical insurance coverage in the inflow area， the current situation of medical demand and related influencing factors， and the demands for other health services. Results47.1%（562/1 194）of new residents did not choose to seek timely medical treatment when they were not feeling well. The main reason was that the working hours occupied the medical treatment time. Logistic regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting the medical needs in new residents were the average daily working hours， living area and type of residence， health status， physical examination and physical exercise， and the type of basic medical insurance. The demands of new residents for "health consultation of common diseases and frequently occurring diseases"， "health behavior intervention （such as smoking cessation and alcohol restriction）"， "medical guidance and publicity"， "accidental injury prevention （traffic， work， falling， etc.）" and "maintenance of legitimate rights and interests of health" were 57.1%（682/1 194）、41.3%（493/1 194）、34.9%（417/1 194）、32.2%（385/1 194） and 31.9%（381/1 194）， respectively. ConclusionNew residents demands for medical services cannot be met. We should actively improve the working and living conditions of new residents， improve the construction of new residents' health service system， and improve the utilization level of health services.
