OBJECTIVE To investigate the application and influencing factors of sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2 inhibitors（SGLT-2i） in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction（HFpEF） in the real world. METHODS Data from 358 patients with HFpEF who were hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2023 to May 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into the SGLT-2i group and the non-SGLT-2i group based on whether they were prescribed SGLT-2i upon discharge. Baseline characteristics， comorbidities， and differences in drug treatment were compared between the two groups. Based on univariate analysis， multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent influencing factors of SGLT-2i use in patients with HFpEF， followed by further stratified analysis. RESULTS Among 358 HFpEF patients， the overall utilization rate of SGLT-2i was 33.5%. Combined with type 2 diabetes [OR＝9.063，95%CI（4.924-16.679） ] ， atrial fibrillation [OR＝3.135，95%CI（1.590-6.178） ] ， coronary artery heart disease [OR＝1.888，95%CI（1.072-3.327） ] and the use of loop diuretics [OR＝3.822， 95%CI （1.588-9.200） ] were all independent influencing factors for the use of SGLT-2i in patients with HFpEF （ P ＜0.05）. The results of the stratified descriptive analysis were consistent with those of the multivariate analysis， showing a higher utilization rate of SGLT-2i among patients with concomitant T2DM，atrial fibrillation， coronary artery heart disease， and those receiving loop diuretics （ P ＜0.05）； whereas the utilization rate of SGLT-2i was comparable across patients with different levels of renal function （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In the real-world clinical practice， the utilization of SGLT-2i in patients with HFpEF remains suboptimal， and treatment coverage still needs to be improved. Their use of SGLT-2i is primarily influenced by the presence of type 2 diabetes， atrial fibrillation， coronary artery heart disease， and the use of loop diuretics.

BACKGROUND:Studies have found that probiotics have a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on peri-implantitis,and there are further explorations in the mechanism against peri-implantitis.OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism and clinical application of probiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis.METHODS:Relevant literature was searched on PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,and WanFang Data,using the search terms of"probiotics,peri-implantitis,flora imbalance,immunoregulation,inflammatory reaction,mechanism of action"in Chinese and English.A total of 90 articles were finally included.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Probiotics have the following mechanisms.They can activate the anti-inflammatory mechanism by inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors and promoting the production of anti-inflammatory factors.They can destroy the cell wall of pathogenic bacteria by secreting microbial complexes and bacteriocins,reduce the pH value of biofilms,improve the composition of microorganisms in microecology,induce the change of bacterial community structure,and restore the balance of microbial population around implants.They have immunomodulatory effects and can enhance the resistance of the host oral mucosa to pathogenic bacteria in the surrounding area of the implant.In addition,probiotics can produce antibacterial compounds,offset the adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms,and regulate immune function.Through the above mechanisms,probiotics have certain potential in the adjuvant treatment of peri-implantitis,which can improve the clinical parameters of peri-implantitis and affect the microbiota.Probiotic therapy provides a new treatment option,but more long-term prospective studies are needed to further verify its effect.

Neurocritical care involves complex pathophysiological mechanisms, and its incidence is higher, injuries are more severe, and treatment is more challenging in high-altitude environments. This consensus, based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical data, establishes a standardized, goal-oriented framework for neurocritical care management applicable in high-altitude regions and nationwide. The consensus was developed following international standards for evidence quality assessment and underwent two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, resulting in 32 recommendation statements covering three parts: management systems, monitoring and assessment, and core strategies. Key updates include: advocating for the establishment of independent neurocritical care units and implementing precise tiered diagnosis and treatment based on the "Five Differences in Critical Care" concept; constructing a "trinity" multimodal brain monitoring system centered on cerebral blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and brain function, emphasizing routine bedside transcranial Doppler ultrasound, cerebral oximetry, and continuous electroencephalography monitoring; shifting management strategies from mild hypothermia therapy to targeted temperature management, and defining the "446" target management pathway for the supercritical stage; emphasizing the assessment of static and dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation functions through multimodal methods to achieve individualized optimal mean arterial pressure management; elevating cerebrospinal fluid management goals to the level of "glymphatic system" function maintenance; implementing a multidisciplinary collaborative, whole-process management model focusing on patients' long-term neurological functional outcomes; de-escalation criteria include multidimensional indicators such as recovery of brain structure, restoration of cerebrovascular autoregulation, improvement in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and reduction in biomarker levels; and integrating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence into post-critical care management and rehabilitation planning. This consensus systematically integrates the entire process of neurocritical care management, reflecting the modern connotation of goal-oriented, dynamic, and multimodal integration in neurocritical care medicine. It aims to adapt to new trends such as deepening understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, the integration of medicine and engineering, and the empowerment of artificial intelligence, thereby further advancing the discipline of critical care medicine.

Abstract To promote adolescents active participation in physical activity and improve sleep quality, the article analyzes the relationship of adolescent physical activity with subjective sleep satisfaction, sleep latency, sleep continuity, sleep efficiency, and sleep duration. It explores potential mechanisms underlying the link between physical activity and sleep quality, including physiological mechanisms (circadian rhythms, body temperature, neuroendocrine systems, and immune function), and psychological mechanisms (stress relief, improvement of negative emotions, and promotion of mental relaxation). Based on existing research, it is recommended that adolescents engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity daily to promote improved sleep quality.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of abdominal flap carried with combined perforating vessels in reconstruction of extra large and complicated defect in extremities.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 16 patients who were admitted to the Department of Hand Surgery, the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment of extra large and complex wounds in extremities, from January 2020 to December 2023. There were 6 defects in upper limbs and 10 in lower limbs. Fourteen patients had a combination of fracture and 6 of tendon defects. The defects were large and sized from 30.0 cm×9.0 cm to 35.0 cm×15.0 cm. The defects were reconstructed by large sized abdominal flaps at 32.0 cm×10.0 cm to 36.0 cm×16.0 cm. According to the size of the defect, perforators of different arteries carried by the abdominal flap were combined by anastomosis in a manner of internal and external supercharging in order to boost the blood supply of the flap. The supercharging vessel anastomosis was as follows: one superficial circumflex iliac artery (or superficial inferior epigastric artery) was anastomosed with the contralateral branch of the deep inferior epigastric artery, with the veins were anastomosed with the corresponding veins, and the main trunk of the deep inferior epigastric artery was anastomosed end-to-end or end-to-side with the main branch of the recipient artery. Alternatively, both of the left and right superficial iliac circumflex (or inferior epigastric) arteries were directly anastomosed end-to-side or end-to-end with the main trunk or its branches in the recipient site, and the veins were anastomosed end-to-side or end-to-end with the adjacent veins. The donor site was pulled and relaxed by a pull-rod wound expander and sutured layer by layer. After surgery, routine anti-infection, anti-vasospasm, anticoagulation, enhancement of blood circulation and other symptomatic treatment were given. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted at outpatient clinic and via telephone and WeChat interviews. The colour and the sign of capillary reflux of the flap were closely observed.Results:All patients were included in the postoperative follow-up for 6-26 months, with an average of 13 months. Fifteen flaps survived after surgery. One flap had partial necrosis and the necrosis was found being caused by a thrombosis at the vessel anastomotic site. The necrotic tissue was removed and the defect was reconstructed by a flap transfer. The abdominal donor sites healed by first intention, and the navel was normal in terms of location and shape. There was no muscle hernia, except a minor scar hyperplasia. The flaps healed well, with satisfactory appearance and soft texture, without obvious bloating. The donor site healed well with partial scar formation.Conclusion:When an abdominal flap is used to reconstruct an extremely large and complex defect in extremities, the perforating vessels of different source arteries carried by the flaps can be anastomosed in a manner of combination, hence the flap can be flexibly freed, with satisfactory treatment effects.

Objective:To analyze transcranial sonography（TCS）imaging characteristics of rats with 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride（6-OHDA）and explore the correlations between the imaging characteristics with motor deficits and pathological changes.Methods:Twenty-nine male SD rats were divided into 3 groups：8 in the no-treatment control（NC）group，10 in the Sham group and 11 in the 6-OHDA group. The model for Sham/Parkinson's disease（PD）was established by stereotacticly injecting saline/6-OHDA containing ascorbic acid to bilateral substantia nigra pars compacta（SNpc）. After three weeks，the models were stable. At the fourth week and seventh week，the behavioral testing was accomplished. The TCS examination was performed weekly at the same time for four weeks. At the eighth week，the rats were sacrificed for pathology.Results:①Behavioral testing：6-OHDA group showed asymmetric motor deficits and the difference was significant compared with the NC group and Sham group（both P<0.001）. ②TCS examination：compared with the NC and Sham group，there were asymmetric substantia nigra hyperechogenicity（SNH）in 6-OHDA group（both P<0.05）；meanwhile the area of SNH in the left was significantly larger in the right side（ P<0.05）.No significant change in SNH area was found during the continuous observation period of weeks 4-7. For 6-OHDA group，the area of SNH was negatively correlated with the number of forelimb wall-touches（ r=-0.825， P＜0.001）. ③Pathological examination：compared with NC group and sham group，the substantia nigra（SN）of 6-OHDA group showed a series of pathological events，including dopaminergic（DA）neurons asymmetrically decreasing，asymmetric ironion deposition and the number of active microglia increasing（all P＜0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that the area of SNH was negatively correlated with the number of DA neurons survivors（ r=-0.689， P=0.013），while the activation of microglial and the deposition of iron were positively correlated with the area of SNH（ r=0.915，0.735；all P＜0.001）. Conclusions:Asymmetric SNH of 6-OHDA PD rats is a representation of asymmetric motor deficits，and the mechanism is related to a catalogue of asymmetric pathological changes in SN，which comprise DA neurons decreasing，asymmetric iron ions deposition，microglial activating.

Objective:To establish an automatic classification approach for bone marrow cells based on microscopic hyperspectral imaging and three-dimensional spectral convolutional neural network (Spec-CNN).Methods:The research type is establishment of methodology. The study included 306 newly diagnosed patients' bone marrow smears under Wright's staining from the Department of Hematology of the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from November 1st, 2013 to April 30th, 2024. The high-spectrum data and 4k image data of bone marrow cells were simultaneously collected using a microscopic hyperspectral-4k optical path integrated imaging system (with a spectral resolution of 400—1 000 nm). The high-spectrum data was used for model training, while the 4k image data recognized by morphologists was only used as a reference for labeling the high-spectrum data. The high-spectrum data set was divided into training set, validation set and test set in a ratio of 14∶6∶5. The training set and validation set were used to train and fine-tune the Spec-CNN model, and the test set was used to evaluate the model performance. The sensitivity, specificity ,accuracy ,and Kappa coefficient were calculated for comparing the manual annotation results as gold standard with the intelligent identification results of the Spec-CNN model. Five non-data set samples were used for external validation.Results:The acquired hyperspectral data and 4k imaging dataset comprised of 32 categories and 64 800 bone marrow cells. In the test set, the Spec-CNN model demonstrated weighted-average indicators on classification metrics across 32 cell types: sensitivity 87.79%, specificity 99.31%, and accuracy 98.78%, and Kappa coefficient 0.869. For external validation, the mean correct identification rate of bone marrow cells reached 83.28%.Conclusion:We successfully established an automatic classification method of bone marrow cells based on microscopic hyperspectral imaging and three-dimensional Spec-CNN. This method has a good automatic classification ability for 32 types of bone marrow nucleated cells, which has a certain auxiliary effect on improving the diagnosis efficiency of blood diseases for bone marrow morphologists.

Objective:To develop an evaluation index system for the quality management process of investigator-initiated trials(IITs) in ophthalmology, providing a scientific tool and reference for improving clinical research quality and standardized management.Methods:Key quality management elements of ophthalmology IITs were identified through a literature review and experts interviews. A three-round Delphi consultation was conducted with experts from 16 provinces and municipalities in China who specialize in ophthalmic clinical research management. The importance of each index was scored, and weighting calculations were performed. Based on ranking and feasibility, a validated quality index system for ophthalmology IITs was established.Results:A three-tier index system was developed, comprising three first-level indicators (structure, process, and outcome), 15 secondary indicators, and 44 tertiary indicators. The expert authority coefficient was 0.87, and the response rates for the three Delphi rounds were 100%, 92.58%, and 100%, respectively. Among the first-level indicators, the highest weight was assigned to ″Structure″ (0.443 2). The top three secondary indicators were ″Data analysis report″ (0.098 3), ″Study protocol execution and data archiving″ (0.096 0), and ″Research team″ (0.094 1). At the tertiary level, the highest-ranked indicators were ″Data cleaning, verification, and database locking″ (0.049 2), ″Archiving and preservation of research data″ (0.048 8), and ″Execution of statistical analysis as planned″ (0.048 4).Conclusions:The ophthalmology IIT process quality evaluation index system developed in this study is scientifically grounded and will provides a valuable reference for standardizing quality management and further empirical research in ophthalmology IITs.
