Objective To explore the non-invasive diagnostic criteria of magnetocardiography (MCG) for coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD), and its value in dynamically assessing drug treatment for CMVD. Methods Patients who presented with chest tightness or chest pain at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from September 2024 to March 2025 were consecutively enrolled, and all of whom had non-obstructive coronary arteries on angiography. Using the coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) as the gold standard, patients were divided into a normal microcirculation group (caIMR≤40 U) and a CMVD group (caIMR＞40 U). MCG testing was performed using a domestic device (MD-U041001, Mind Medical). Patients in the CMVD group received adenosine treatment and underwent repeat MCG after medication. Differences in MCG parameters between the two groups were analyzed, and a diagnostic model was established. The value of the diagnostic model was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results A total of 311 patients were included, with 135 in the normal microcirculation group and 176 in the CMVD group. The CMVD group had a significantly higher proportion of males (61.9% vs 47.4%, P＝0.012), and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels ([1.16±0.31] mmol/L vs [1.24±0.29] mmol/L, P＝0.029) than the normal group. Eleven MCG parameters showed significant differences between the two groups (P＜0.05), among which increased values of mfm_QR_epav, mfm_RS_epmse, space_zeroRTrot, as well as decreased value of mfm_QR_v1 were independent predictors of CMVD. The diagnostic model based on these 11 MCG parameters yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.688 (95%CI 0.629-0.747). The integrated diagnostic model combining clinical risk factors (male, smoking history, HDL-C) with MCG parameters had an AUC of 0.701 (95%CI 0.643-0.759). After adenosine treatment, patients in the CMVD group showed significant decreases in mfm_QR_epav (P＝0.010), mfm_RS_sad (P＝0.013), and mfm_RS_epmse (P＝0.046). Conclusions The model based on MCG parameters demonstrates good diagnostic ability for CMVD; dynamic changes in MCG parameters following adenosine intervention may serve as potential objective indicators for evaluating microcirculatory treatment efficacy.

Objective:To explore the correlation between intestinal flora disturbance and the diagnosis,treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA),and to provide bioinformatics basis for further research on precise targeted intervention of RA.Methods:Genes related to intestinal flora disorders and RA genes were downloaded from disease database.Correlation between the two diseases was analyzed via bioinformatics approach.PPI network was conducted by STRING,Cytoscape and their plug-ins,and key genes were screened.Key genes were mapped into Coremine Medicinal to identify medicinal chemicals and medicinal herbs.Results:A total of 525 genes shared by intestinal flora disorders and RA were obtained through integrated screening of the disease database,and key genes with the highest degree of protein interaction were finally selected,namely IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-10,STAT3,STAT1 and RELA.These related tar-geted genes were mainly involved in biological processes such as negative feedback regulation and antigen stimulation,and mediate molecular functions such as lipopolysaccharide receptor binding and NF-κB receptor binding,which are mainly concentrated in the plasma membrane region.KEGG analysis showed that these related genes were mainly involved in classical signaling pathways such as IL-17 pathway and Toll-like receptor pathway.Through drug prediction,it was found that Astragalus,Scutellaria,Schisandra and Cop-tis in traditional Chinese medicine might be potential drug sources for RA treatment.Conclusion:Bioinformatics method can predict key genes and signaling pathways of intestinal flora intervention in pathogenesis and progression of RA,and predict the Chinese herbs that may target the regulation of flora for treatment of risk factors,which providing a theoretical basis for further exploration of targeted treatment of RA.

Objective:To explore the effect of the forward moving pelvic floor exercise program in urinary incontinence management among patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.Methods:From June 2022 to January 2024, 150 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy of the Urology Surgery Department, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected using convenience sampling. Patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 75 cases in each group. Control group received conventional perioperative management for prostate cancer, while observation group implemented a forward moving pelvic floor exercise program in addition to conventional management. The incidence of urinary incontinence, urinary control capabilities before and after intervention (including maximum urinary flow rate, average urinary flow rate, voided urine volume, and residual urine volume), and quality of life scores [evaluated using the Chinese version of the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL) ] were compared between two groups of patients.Results:The incidence of urinary incontinence of observation group was lower than that of control group. Furthermore, patients with urinary incontinence in observation group exhibited significantly lower urine leakage volume and fewer episodes of urinary incontinence over 24 hours at one month postoperatively compared to control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in maximum urinary flow rate, average urinary flow rate, voided urine volume, or residual urine volume between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). Following intervention, both groups demonstrated increased maximum urinary flow rate, average urinary flow rate, and voided urine volume compared to baseline, with observation group exhibiting higher values than control group ( P<0.05), and residual urine volume of both groups decreased compared to baseline, with observation group showing lower values than control group, these differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference in I-QOL scores between the two groups before intervention was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Following intervention, I-QOL scores decreased in both groups, but observation group had higher score than control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The forward moving pelvic floor exercise program effectively reduces the incidence of urinary incontinence in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, alleviates the severity of incontinence, and improves both urodynamic outcomes and quality of life.

Objective:Constructing a risk prediction model to assess the impact of various factors on the need for auxiliary bone grafting with implant placement following alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in posterior teeth.Methods:According to the sample size calculation formula, the sample size was calculated using the pmsampsize package of R 4.1.3 software, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 110 posterior teeth in 98 patients who underwent ARP at the Department of Periodontology, School and Hospital of Stomatology, China Medical University, from January 2018 to May 2024 were conducted. Teeth were randomly divided into modeling group and validation group with 7∶3 ratio according to the random number table. The modeling group was divided into direct implantation group and auxiliary bone grafting group on the basis of whether auxiliary bone grafting was performed 6 months after ARP. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing auxiliary bone grafting with implant placement following ARP. Nomogram was constructed using R software. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were drawn to evaluate model differentiation and consistency. The decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to assess the clinical application value of the model.Results:Age ( OR=1.06, P=0.001), maximum attachment loss (AL) ( OR=1.75, P<0.001), reason of tooth extraction ( OR=12.73, P<0.001), smoking [<10 cigarettes/d ( OR=7.59, P<0.001);≥10 cigarettes/d ( OR=28.12, P<0.001)] and stage of periodontitis [stage Ⅱ ( OR=2.57, P=0.430); stage Ⅲ ( OR=21.00, P=0.007); stage Ⅳ ( OR=76.50, P<0.001)] influenced the necessity for auxiliary bone grafting with implant placement after ARP. After multivariate analysis of the above influencing factors, it was found that smoking [<10 cigarettes/d ( OR=7.02, P=0.009);≥10 cigarettes/d ( OR=10.27, P=0.026)] was an independent risk factor for the need of auxiliary bone grafting with implant placement after ARP. The area under the ROC curve for internal verification was 0.90 (95 %CI: 0.84-0.97), and the H-L goodness of fit test results were χ 2=4.79, P=0.780, indicating a good agreement. The area under the externally verified ROC curve was 0.97 (95 %CI: 0.92-1.00), suggesting that the fitting effect was slightly lower than that of the modeling group, and the predicted value of the model was slightly lower than the true value, which might underestimate the risk of additional surgery in patients. Results:of H-L goodness of fit test were χ 2=5.03, P=0.754. The DCA curve showed that when the probability of high-risk threshold was between 0.06 and 0.93, the clinical application value of the prediction model was higher. Conclusions:Age, smoking, reason of tooth extraction, stage of periodontitis, and maximum AL of the affected teeth were related to the necessity for auxiliary bone grafting with implant placement 6 months after ARP. Smoking was an independent risk factor for auxiliary bone grafting surgery. The constructed nomogram model had good discrimination and consistency.

Purpose: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common male sexual dysfunction. Gut microbiota plays an important role in various diseases. To investigate the effects and mechanisms of intestinal flora dysregulation induced by high-fat diet (HFD) on erectile function. Materials and Methods: Male Sprague–Dawley rats aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into the normal diet (ND) and HFD groups. After 24 weeks, a measurement of erectile function was performed. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples. Then, we established fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) rat models by transplanting fecal microbiota from rats of ND group and HFD group to two new groups of rats respectively. After 24 weeks, erectile function of the rats was evaluated and 16S rRNA sequencing was performed, and serum samples were collected for the untargeted metabolomics detection. Results: The erectile function of rats and the species diversity of intestinal microbiota in the HFD group was significantly lower, and the characteristics of the intestinal microbiota community structure were also significantly different between the two groups. The erectile function of rats in the HFD-FMT group was significantly lower than that of rats in the ND-FMT group. The characteristics of the intestinal microbiota community structure were significantly different. In the HFD-FMT group, 27 metabolites were significantly different and they were mainly involved in the several inflammation-related pathways. Conclusions Intestinal microbiota disorders induced by HFD can damage the intestinal barrier of rats, change the serum metabolic profile, induce low-grade inflammation and apoptosis in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, and lead to ED.
