With the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus, the incidence rate of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is on the rise. MASLD has become the most common chronic liver disease, affecting more than 30% of the global population and causing serious social and economic burden. Numerous studies have shown that the development of MASLD is associated with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease (CVD). In 2010, the American Heart Association proposed the concept of ideal cardiovascular health (ICH); in 2022, the scoring criteria were updated with the introduction of the Life′s Essential 8 (LE8), comprising 4 ideal cardiovascular behaviors (optimal diet, exercise, no smoking, mean sleep 7-9 h/d) and 4 ideal cardiovascular conditions (blood pressure<120/80 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) with no medication, no history of diabetes mellitus and fasting blood glucose<5.6 mmol/L or HbA1c<5.7%, non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol<3.36 mmol/L, body mass index<25 kg/m 2). It aims to provide clear, actionable goals for CVD prevention by providing a direct, simple way to quantify health behaviors. A growing number of studies also confirm that the higher level of LE8 metrics is closely associated with the lower risk of MASLD. This article reviews the latest research progress on ICH metrics for reducing risk of MASLD, in order to provide references for early and effective prevention and comprehensive management of MASLD patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential mechanism of Yishenqinglihuoxue Formula(YSQLF)in treating chronic kidney disease fibrosis in rats based on UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS technology and network pharmacology.METHODS UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used for qualitative analysis of Yishenqinglihuoxue Formula-containing serum.Targets of the plasma constituents and the disease were retrieved from SwissTargetPrediction,OMIM,GeneCards,and other databases.Then the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed and core targets were screened for GO term enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment.Cytoscape software was em-ployed to construct the"drug-compound-core target-pathway"network and the targets and signaling pathways of Yishenqinglihuoxue Formula against fibrosis were predicted.A model of renal fibrosis was established to verify the core targets and pathway proteins.RE-SULTS A total of 56 constituents migrating to blood of Yishenqinglihuoxue Formula were identified.97 common targets of the constit-uents and the disease and 33 core targets were screened out.KEGG enrichment and PPI network analysis showed that Yishenqingli-huoxue Formula may play a role in the treatment of fibrosis through PI3K/Akt and other pathways.Furthermore,the results of animal experiments showed that Yishenqinglihuoxue Formula could reduce the levels of Scr and BUN,improve fibrosis areas,inhibit the acti-vation of the PI3K/Akt pathway,and reduce the protein expression of TNF-α.CONCLUSION Yishenqinglihuoxue Formula may play a role in the treatment of fibrosis by inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting TNF-α expression.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of early myocardial injury and the impact of early myocardial injury on prognosis of patients with extensive burns.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. From January 2018 to August 2022, 361 patients with extensive burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital, including 231 males and 130 females, aged 50 (36, 58) years, with total burn area of 45% (35%, 60%) total body surface area. According to the highest level of creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) within 72 h post injury, the patients were divided into early myocardial injury group (CK-MB≥75 U/L, 182 patients) and non-early myocardial injury group (CK-MB<75 U/L, 179 patients). The following data of patients in the 2 groups were collected and analyzed, including gender, age, total burn area, admission time post injury, combination with shock on admission, combination with inhalation injury on admission; the main blood test indexes such as myocardial enzyme spectrum, blood routine, liver and kidney function, and electrolytes within 72 h post injury; and treatment outcomes and fatality rate. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, independent sample t test, or Mann-Whitney U test. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the independent risk factors for early myocardial injury and for death in patients with extensive burns. Results:There were statistically significant differences in gender, combination with shock on admission, total burn area, and admission time post injury of patients between the two groups (with χ2 values of 6.40 and 6.10, Z values of 5.41 and 3.03, respectively, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in age, combination with inhalation injury on admission of patients between the two groups ( P>0.05). The CK-MB, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, white blood cell count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase, potassium, and hemoglobin within 72 h post injury were significantly higher than those in non-early myocardial injury group (with Z values of 15.40, 6.26, 7.59, 7.02, 2.64, 4.53, 4.07, 6.32, and 4.12, t=2.34, respectively, P<0.05), while the level of calcium was significantly lower than that in non-early myocardial injury group ( Z=2.72, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other blood test indexes of patients between the two groups ( P>0.05). The total burn area, admission time post injury, NLR and ALT within 72 h post injury were the independent risk factors for early myocardial injury in patients with extensive burns (with odds ratios of 1.03, 1.07, 1.04, and 1.02, 95% confidence intervals of 1.02-1.05, 1.00-1.11, 1.02-1.07, and 1.00-1.03, respectively, P<0.05). The fatality rate of patients in early myocardial injury group was 8.8% (16/182), which was significantly higher than 2.8% (5/179) in non-early myocardial injury group ( χ2 =5.93, P<0.05). Early myocardial injury, age, combination with shock on admission, and combination with inhalation injury on admission were the independent risk factors for death in patients with extensive burns (with odds ratios of 3.60, 1.04, 6.53, and 3.14, 95% confidence intervals of 1.17-11.05, 1.01-1.07, 1.39-30.68, and 1.15-8.56, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions:The total burn area, admission time post injury, NLR and ALT within 72 h post injury were the independent risk factors for early myocardial injury in patients with extensive burns. Patients with extensive burns with early myocardial injury have a higher fatality rate, and early myocardial injury is an independent risk factor for the patients' death.

Objective To compare split-cuff nipple and direct ureteroileal anastomosis during ureteroileal anastomosis.Methods Between December,2014 and March,2017,a prospective randomized study was conducted on 70 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion.In every patient,both ureters were randomized to be implanted using an antireflux,split-cuff nipple technique (group A) or a reflux,direct technique (group B).After pelvic lymph node dissection and radical cystectomy,a Mshape orthotopic ileal neobladder was constructed and two ureters were implanted with single-J tubes placed for 10-12 days.For split-cuff nipple technique,a 0.5 cm longitudinal incision in the ureter was made,and the ureteral wall was turned back on itself,construction a nipple.The cuff was stabilized at the corners with sutures.The ureter was then placed into the bowel with 0.5 cm nipple.The ureter was sutured to the full thickness of the bowel wall with interrupted 4-0 PDS.For direct technique,a 0.5 cm incision in the ureter was made,the full thickness of the ureter was sewn to the mucosa of the bowel.Results 70 patients were enrolled in the study,63 males and 7 females,(62.5 ± 10.4) years old.Over a median follow-up of 13.2 months,one patients had bilateral anastomosis stricture 3 months after operation,1 patient in group A had stricture 6 months after operation,2 patients in group B had stricture 6 and 12 months after operation,respectively.Six patients (8.6％) in group A found reflux compared with 21 patients (30.0％) in group B (P =0.004).The reflux pressure was (23.5 ± 9.0) cmH2O and (15.5 ± 4.9) cmH2O in group A and group B (P =0.042),respectively.The GFR of group A was (38.1 ± 7.6) ml/min compared with (38.6 ± 12.9) ml/min in group B at 12 months after operation.One patient in group A and four patients in group B had acute nephropyelitis.Four patients in group A had renal stones formation compared with 1 patients in group B.The time of anastomosis was (8.8 ± 3.5) minutes and (6.7 ± 1.5) minutes (P =0.037) for group A and group B,respectively.The patients in both groups had no urine leakage.Conclusion Compared with direct technique,split-cuff nipple technique had lower reflux rate,higher antireflux pressure and longer anastomosis time than direct technique.

Objective To investigate the relationship between anti mutated citrullinated vimentin (MCV) antibody, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody with disease activity and bone erosion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), so as to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The anti-CCP antibody and anti-MCV antibody were detected using the enzyme-linked immune adsorption method (ELISA) for 634 patients with RA. At the same time, the clinical and laboratory data were collected, and the X-ray images of hands or feet were taken. Disease activity score (DAS)28 score was calculated, and all patients were divided into high disease activity group, moderatedisease activity group, low disease activity group and stable disease group on the basis of the DAS28 score. We analyzed the relationship between the degree of anti MCV, anti CCP antibodies, and disease activity of patients by Spearman correlation. And anti CCP, anti MCV antibodies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C reactive protein (CRP) of these patients were compared at different period of bone erosion and disease activity by the Wilcoxon rank sum test and nemenyi. Results ① Positive correlation could be detected between anti-MCV antibody and ESR, CRP, number of tender joint, DAS28 score (r=0.115, P=0.004; r=0.120, P=0.003; r=0.124, P=0.002; r=0.085, P=0.032), and anti CCP antibody had no correlation with these index. The anti MCV antibodies in high disease activity group [694 (156, 1 000)] U/ml, and moderate activity group [911 (190, 1 000)] U/ml were higher than that of the low disease activity [248(150, 731)] U/ml or stable group [275(62, 928)] U/ml (U=2.29, P=0.023;U=2.25, P=0.024; U=2.45, P=0.014; U=2.4, P=0.018), and anti CCP antibody in the moderate disease activity group [499(180, 1 370)] U/ml was higher than low disease activity group [297(83, 574)] U/ml and stable group [187(67, 1 153)] U/ml (U=2.53, P=0.012; U=2.22, P=0.026). ②The anti MCV, anti CCP antibody in the bone erosion group were higher than those without bone erosion group (U=4.64, P<0.01;U=2.69, P=0.007). The anti MCV antibodies in stage Ⅱ[722(259, 1 000)] U/ml and Ⅲ group [714 (216, 1 000)] U/ml was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅰ [316(98, 1 000)] U/ml(U=3.46, P<0.01; U=4.28, P<0.01). The anti CCP antibody level in stage Ⅱ [394(180, 1 000)] U/ml and Ⅲ[391(181,1305)] U/ml was higher compared with stage Ⅰ[277 (98,898)] U/ml (U=1.99, P=0.046; U=2.92, P=0.004), and that in phase Ⅲ was higher than Ⅳ [218(71, 911)] U/ml (U=2.06, P=0.041). Conclusion Compared with anti-CCP antibody, anti-MCV antibody is closely related with disease activity, and has a better predictive value for bone erosion. Patients with higher ESR and CRP are more susceptible to bone erosion.

Objective To conduct nutrition risk screening on newborns with modified screening tool for the assessment of malnutrition in pediatrics (STAMP), and to analyze the correlation between nutritional risk of newborns and diseases. Methods A total of 2 300 newborns treated in Neonatal Center (NICU, Department of Neonatology and Department of Neonatal Surgery) in Children's Hospital of Shanxi from February to December 2015 were screened by modified scale STAMP about their nutritional risks, with the data collected and analyzed. Results Top five high risks concerning disease and nutrition among newborns were: hyaline membrane, volvulus, hematochezia of unknown origin, premature infants, and abdominal distension of unknown origin. Differences of malnutrition conditions and nutrition intake among newborns from different departments were statistically significant (χ2=31.74, 177.00; P<0.005). Majority of newborns in NICU and Department of Neonatal Surgery were without any nutrition intake at all, while majority of newborns in Department of Internal Medicine were with only half or less nutrition intake. Differences of high malnutrition risks and insufficient nutrition intake among premature and term infants from different departments were statistically significant (χ2=72.70, 53.95; P<0.001). Differences of weight growth conditions among newborns from different departments were statistically significant (χ2=13.57, P=0.002). Conclusions By using modified STAMP, it can be identified that factors causing high risks of neonatal nutrition include diseases, gestational age, nutritional intake, growth and development. Individualized nutritional support program should be implemented according to results of the screening, so that status quo of extrauterine growth restriction can be improved.

Objective To detect anti-cell membrane DNA ( cmDNA) antibody with human B lym-phocyte Raji cells and human promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cells as substrates and to compare the diagnostic value of anti-cmDNA antibody with that of anti-nucleosome antibody ( AnuA ) , anti-Sm antibody and anti-double-stranded DNA ( dsDNA) antibody in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus ( JSLE) patients. Meth-ods We recruited 92 JSLE patients and 71 patients with other rheumatic diseases. Anti-cmDNA antibody an-dantinuclear antibody ( ANA ) was detected in patient serum by indirect immunofluorescence assays ( IIF ) . Anti-dsDNA antibody were detected by combining enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay ( ELISA) and IIF. Anti-Sm antibody were detected by double immunodiffusion assay and immunoblotting, while anti-nucleosome antibody ( AnuA) were detected by ELISA. We collected concurrent clinical data. Results Anti-cmDNA antibody demonstrated stronger intensity of fluorescent patterns in using Raji cells as substrate than HL60 cells. JSLE patients had a significantly higher positive percentage of anti-cmDNA than patients with other rheu-matoid diseases. The sensitivity of anti-cmDNA on cell line Raji was higher than that of anti-dsDNA and anti-Sm (P<0. 01), the specificity of anti-cmDNA was close to anti-dsDNA (P>0. 05) and was lower than anti-Sm and AnuA (P<0. 01). The sensitivity of anti-cmDNA was similar to AnuA (P>0. 05) and the specificity was lower than AnuA (P<0. 01). The sensitivities of anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm and AnuA by combining with an-ti-cmDNA were much higher than that of the above antibody detected respectively ( P<0. 05 ) . Anti-cmDNA had no correlation with SLE disease activity index ( P=0. 907 ) . Conclusion The high sensitivity and speci-ficity of anti-cmDNA antibody make it a valuable diagnostic tool for JSLE. Combined detection of anti-cmDNA and other autoantibody might further improve the sensitivity in JSLE. Anti-cmDNA detected with IIF on cell line Raji was better than cell line HL60.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of gram-negative bacilli for better antimicrobial therapy in our hospital.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted for the 1 060 strains of gram-negative bacilli isolated from clinical specimens during 2013.Results Of the 1 060 gram-negative bacterial strains isolated during 2013,E.coli,K . pneumoniae,P .aeruginosa and A.baumannii were the leading pathogens,accounting for 29.3%,22.8%,11.5% and 9.9%,respectively.The prevalence of extended spectrum-lactamases (ESBLs)positive strains was 63.7%,32.2% and 28.0% in E.coli,K .pneumoniae and P .mirabilis,respectively.The Enterobacteriaceae strains were highly sensitive to carbapenems.The percentage of the P .aeruginosa isolates resistant to meropenem,imipenem or amikacin was lower than 30%.The percentage of the Acinetobacter spp.(A.baumannii accounted for 70.9%)strains resistant to meropenem and imipenem were 25.0% and 26.2%.Conclusions Most of the gram-negative bacilli are resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents. We should strengthen the monitoring of the antibiotic resistance of gram-negative bacilli and optimize antimicrobial therapy.

Objective To understand the correlation of caregiver′s burden, psychological state, quality of life, social support and health condition of patients with rheumatism, to provide the basis for improvements in health status and quality of life in patients with rheumatic diseases. Methods Totals of 153 patients and their caregivers were collected form rheumatism outpatient in our hospital, the patients′health condition was assessed by HAQ;Zarit burden scale was used to assess caregivers′burden;CES-D self-report depression scale was used for the assessment of psychological state;patients′health status, quality of life and supportive were assessed by using health assessment questionnaire, social support scale and World Health Organization quality of life assessment. Results Rheumatic patients and caregivers were vulnerable groups and their age gap was large. Caregivers were mainly young and middle aged men. Their relationship were mainly couples or parents and children. Their educational level was low and they usually lived in rural without fixed work. There was a linear relationship between burden and depression degree of caregivers and health status of patients (P<0. 01). There was a linear relationship between caregivers′quality of life and health status of patients (P <0. 05). There was no linear relationship between support of the caregivers and health status of patients (P>0. 05). Conclusions Caregivers have more depression and burden, patients obtain worse health condition. The higher caregivers quality of life, the better health status of patients. It seems no relationship between support of the caregivers and health status of patients.
