Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combined complete preservation of chordal structure mitral valve replacement (C-MVR) with total anatomical arterial myocardial revascularization (TACR) in coronary patients with moderate-to-severe or severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR).Methods:This is a retrospective multi-center case series study. Data were retrospectively collected from 127 patients with coronary artery disease with moderate to severe or severe IMR who received TACR with C-MVR from July 2015 to April 2024 in 13 hospitals in China. There were 90 males and 37 females, aged (56.5±10.7) years (range: 33 to 74 years). Perioperative data and follow-up data including left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, and patency rate of arterial grafts of patients were collected. Comparisons were made using paired sample t-test or χ2 test. Results:In this cohort of 127 patients, 67 underwent concurrent tricuspid valve repair. During surgery, 113 grafts of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA), 127 grafts of the left radial artery, 80 grafts of the right radial artery, and 110 grafts of the right internal mammary artery (RIMA) were harvested. The number of the distal anastomosis was 4.2±0.4 (range: 3 to 5). The aortic cross-clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass time were (97.5±23.4) minutes (range: 90 to 161 minutes) and (145.4±19.2) minutes (range: 101 to 210 minutes), respectively. There was one operative death. Intraoperative placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump was performed in 21 patients to improve the left ventricular ejection. No sternal ischemic occurred. All patients completed follow-up, with a mean follow-up period of (64.3±7.5) months (range: 4 to 110 months). No major cerebrovascular events occurred during the follow-up period, and all patients survived. Left ventricular ejection fraction improved postoperatively (55.0%±5.3% vs. 41.0%±15.3%, t=17.23, P<0.01). The proportion of patients with New York Heart Association functional class ≤2 increased postoperatively (23.6% (30/127) vs. 87.3% (110/126), χ2=103.77, P<0.01). The proportion of patients with Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Classification ≤3 decreased postoperatively (4.8% (6/126) vs. 78.7% (100/127), χ2=142.19, P<0.01). The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter decreased postoperatively ((5.70±4.50) cm vs. (6.10±0.23) cm, t=12.15, P<0.01). Coronary multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) follow-up was conducted for (60.5±11.7) months (range: 6 to 109 months) postoperatively. MDCTA confirmed the patency rates of the grafts: 96.4% (108/112) for the LIMA grafts, 88.9% (112/126) for the left radial artery grafts, 93.7% (74/79) for the right radial artery grafts, and 90.9% (100/110) for the free RIMA grafts. No significant differences in graft patency rates were observed between the arterial grafts ( χ2=5.24, P=0.155). Conclusion:The results of this multi-centre study demonstrate satisfactory mid-term results of C-MVR with TACR for the treatment of coronary artery disease with moderate to severe or severe IMR.

Objective:To establish a clinical laboratory diagnostic pathway for hepatitis C covering diagnosis, differential diagnosis, drug toxicity monitoring, and therapeutic and prognostic evaluation, and to explore a new teaching model for laboratory diagnostics based on the clinical laboratory diagnostic pathway.Methods:According to the clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines for hepatitis C, laboratory testing strategies for different stages of diagnosis and treatment of the disease were formulated to establish a clinical laboratory diagnostic pathway for hepatitis C. The pathway was applied in the teaching for undergraduate medical students of the seven-year program of grade 2019 of The First Clinical College of Wuhan University, with those of grade 2018 as the control to receive traditional teaching. The teaching effect was compared through questionnaires and quizzes in class. The data were analyzed through the t test with the use of SPSS 19.0. Results:A clinical laboratory diagnostic pathway for hepatitis C recognized by clinicians was established, covering the entire process of clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis, monitoring of drug side effects, and therapeutic and prognostic evaluation. The students of grade 2019 receiving the pathway-based teaching model had significant improvements in teaching quality evaluation indicators ( P<0.05), with the most marked improvement in "having mastered the key and difficult points of this lesson", with a score of (60.90±2.15) points for grade 2018 and (84.80±3.44) points for grade 2019. The total score for teaching evaluation was significantly higher in students of grade 2019 than in those of grade 2018 [(94.02±4.29) vs. (79.21±3.68)] points, P<0.05). Grade 2019 also had a significantly higher classroom quiz score than grade 2018 (94.60±5.63) vs. (78.10±4.92), P<0.01]. Conclusions:We established and applied a clinical laboratory diagnostic pathway of hepatitis C in the teaching model of laboratory diagnostics, which organically integrates laboratory diagnostics and clinical medicine, and significantly improves the quality of teaching.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao in middle aged and elderly lung cancer patients undergoing the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic.Methods A total of 90 patients with non-small cell lung cancer meeting the criterias were screened and divided into two groups according to random number table method,which respectively received conventional treatment(control group)and Yunnan Baiyao treatment(experimental group).The perioperative period related indexes,coagulation function related indexes,and the occurrence rate of complications were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The intraoperative bleeding volume and thoracic drainage volume for the first day of experimental group were significantly lower than control group(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant difference in the coagulation function related indexes between two groups before and after surgery(P＞0.05).Additionally,there were also no significant difference in the occurrence rate of complication between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Yunnan Baiyao can reduce intraoperative bleeding volume and chest tube drainage volume for the first day,promots the recovery of patients,and has a good clinical application value.

The gynecological tumours such as Breast cancer or female reproductive system tumors are a serious threat to female health. With the development of molecular diagnosis, the genomic changes of gynecological tumours have been revealed continuously, and the diagnosis and treatment modes of tumors have gradually changed. The detection of molecular targets which potentially participated in the transformation or progress of disease has become an important section of the management of female reproductive tumors, and accurate identification of molecular targets of tumors plays an important role in disease diagnosis, monitoring of metastasis, prediction of recurrence and treatment. This review briefly discusses the risk assessment, molecular typing, targeted therapy, toxic and side effects, and prognosis evaluation of breast and female reproductive system tumors by molecular diagnosis.

The role of glial scar after intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)remains unclear.This study aimed to inves-tigate whether microglia-astrocyte interaction affects glial scar formation and explore the specific function of glial scar.We used a pharmacologic approach to induce microglial depletion during different ICH stages and examine how ablating microglia affects astrocytic scar formation.Spatial transcriptomics(ST)analysis was performed to explore the potential ligand-receptor pair in the modulation of microglia-astrocyte interaction and to verify the functional changes of astrocytic scars at different periods.During the early stage,sustained microglial depletion induced disorganized astrocytic scar,enhanced neutrophil infiltration,and impaired tissue repair.ST analysis indicated that microglia-derived insulin like growth factor 1(IGF1)modulated astrocytic scar formation via mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR)signaling activation.Moreover,repopulating microglia(RM)more strongly activated mTOR signaling,facilitating a more protective scar formation.The combination of IGF1 and osteopontin(OPN)was necessary and sufficient for RM function,rather than IGF1 or OPN alone.At the chronic stage of ICH,the overall net effect of astrocytic scar changed from protective to destructive and delayed microglial depletion could partly reverse this.The vital insight gleaned from our data is that sustained microglial depletion may not be a reasonable treatment strategy for early-stage ICH.Inversely,early-stage IGF1/OPN treatment combined with late-stage PLX3397 treatment is a promising therapeutic strategy.This prompts us to consider the complex temporal dynamics and overall net effect of microglia and astrocytes,and develop elaborate treatment strategies at precise time points after ICH.

OBJECTIVE：To stu dy the improvem ent effect and mechanism of Guizhi fuling pill （GZFLP） on rats with phlegm-dampness type polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS）.METHODS：Totally fifty female SD rats with regular estrous cycle were randomly divided into blank control group （n＝10） and model group （n＝40）. The model group received letrozole intragastrically [1 mg/（kg·d），for 21 d ] to induce phlegm-damp PCOS rat model. Forty model rats were randomly divided into model group ，metformin group [positive control ，0.135 g/（kg·d）] and GZFLP low-dose ，high-dose groups [4.49，17.96 g/（kg· d）]，with 10 rats in each group. Each medicine group was given intragastric administration ，once a day ，for 30 consecutive days. Blank control and model group were given intragastric administration of equal volume normal saline.After last medication ，oral glucose tolerance test （OGTT）was used to detect the level of blood glucose in rats at 0，30，60 and 120 min. ELISA assay was used to detect the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH），luteinizing hormone （LH），estradiol（E2）and testosterone （T）； body weight ，the weight of uterus ，bilateral ovaries and paragonadal fat were weighed. HE staining was used to observe morphological changes of ovarian tissue sections. RT-PCR method and Western blotting assay were used to detect mRNA and protein expression of CYP 19a1 in ovary and Glut 4 in uterine. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，the levels of blood glucose 30，60，120 min after intragastric administration of glucose solution as well as serum levels of LH ，E2 and T were increased significantly in model group （P＜0.05）；the body weight ，the weight of uterus ，bilateral ovaries and paragonadal fat were increased significantly （P＜0.05）；the volume of thecal cells increased significantly and showed spherical shape ；the mRNA and protein expression of CYP 19a1 in ovarian tissue and Glut 4 in uterine tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ，above indexes of administration groups were improved significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the thickness of theca cell layer and the volume of theca cells in GZFLP low-dose and high-dose groups were also improved. CONCLUSIONS：GZFLP can up-regulate the expression of CYP19a1 in ovary and Glut4 in uterus ，so as to improve the abnormal glucose metabolism in phlegm-dampness type PCOS model rats ，reduce insulin resistance ，lower serum estrogen levels ，and reduce the degree of polycystic changes in ovary ，thereby playing a role in the treatment of PCOS.
