Objective: To compare the effects of eccentric cycling (ECC), concentric cycling (CON), and standard care (CTL) on cardiopulmonary capacity, respiratory health, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: Thirty-one CKD patients were divided into the CTL, CON, and ECC groups. The CON and ECC groups participated in 8-week, 24-session cycling programs. Outcomes were assessed through cardiopulmonary exercise tests, respiratory function tests, and the 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument questionnaire. Results: The ECC group achieved significant improvements in maximal oxygen uptake, while the CTL group showed a decline. For oxygen uptake efficiency slope, significant changes were observed only in the ECC group, with a group-by-time interaction effect compared to CTL. Furthermore, the ECC group demonstrated the most significant increase in diaphragm movement and a significant increase in diaphragm thickness, with comparisons indicating that ECC outperformed both CTL and CON. Regarding QoL, the ECC group exhibited significantly greater improvements in Physical Component Summary and Mental Component Summary, with statistically significant differences compared with the CTL and CON groups. Conclusion ECC is a low-effort, high-benefit exercise modality that significantly enhances cardiopulmonary fitness, respiratory function, and QoL in patients with CKD.

Objective:To observe the safety and short-term efficacy of using an autologous fascia lata sling (AFLS) for tension-free mid-urethral sling (MUS) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods:Between February 2022 and December 2023, 11 patients with SUI underwent AFLS-MUS. Preoperative data were recorded, including basic patient information and completion of urinary distress inventory 6 (UDI-6). During surgery, AFLS was harvested through a small incision using a tendon extractor, and used as a sling for transobturator or retropubic MUS. Perioperative indicators were recorded, including surgical approach, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, duration of catheterization, perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification), and surgical costs. Follow-ups included outpatient physical examination at 2 months postoperatively, and telephone follow-up at 6 months, 1 year, and annually thereafter. Follow-up content included the presence or absence of urinary leakage symptoms, UDI-6, satisfaction, patient global impression of improvement (PGI-I), and complications.Results:The age of the 11 patients was (54.8±10.9) years (range: 41-72 years), with body mass index of (23.9±1.8) kg/m2 (range: 21.4-27.3 kg/m2). All patients experienced urinary leakage after coughing, sneezing and physical activity, with positive SUI provocation tests. The preoperative UDI-6 was 50.0±21.6 (range: 16.7-79.2), the result of 1-hour pad test was (18.9±12.0) g (range: 2.5-71.2 g). Four cases underwent MUS only, with operation time of (98.0±13.3) minutes (range: 86-117 minutes), and intraoperative blood loss of (17.5±5.0) ml (range: 10-20 ml); 7 cases also underwent pelvic floor repair simultaneously. The postoperative hospital stay was (3.5±2.0) days (range: 2-9 days). The duration of catheterization was (4.5±3.8) days (range: 2-11 days), with postoperative urinary retention in three cases, one of which underwent sling release surgery due to severe postoperative voiding difficulty 1 week after MUS, with no other complications of Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or above. The cost of AFLS harvest plus MUS was (2 762±293) yuan. At the 2-month outpatient follow-up, all patients were free of urinary leakage symptoms, with UDI-6 of 2.3±1.9 (range: 0-8.3); satisfaction was "very satisfied" in 10 cases and "fairly satisfied" in 1 case, with PGI-I all being "much better", and pelvic examinations were normal. Telephone follow-up showed one case lost to follow-up, and the remaining 10 cases had follow-up time of (18.6±4.9) months (range: 7-26 months), all without urinary leakage, with UDI-6 of 2.7±2.6, satisfaction rated as "very satisfied", and PGI-I all "much better".Conclusion:This modified AFLS-MUS for the treatment of SUI shows good short-term efficacy and high safety in harvest site, with the need for more data accumulation and long-term follow-up.

Coronary artery calcification often appears a variety of complex lesions,increasing coronary intervention of the difficulty of treatment,especially the severe calcification lesions,usually cannot be fully dilated,resulting in a reduced success rate of surgery,an increased rate of acute stent thrombosis and restenosis,and even a serious impact on the prognosis of patients.Intravascular lithotripsy(IVL)is increasingly used in calcified lesions.There is more and more evidence of using in stable angina pectoris and unstable angina pectoris,but its use in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is limited,and only a few cases have been reported abroad.Moreover,the consensus of Chinese experts in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery calcification in 2021 edition lists thrombotic lesions as contraindications of shock wave balloon.This case is the first time in China to report the use of shock wave balloon in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction complicated with thrombus.In this case,the patient with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction complicated with thrombus was severely under expanded stent after stent implantation,and obtain good curative effect using shockwave balloon at selected time in hospital after intensive anticoagulant therapy.

Human physiological indicators have become an important standard for assessing health in modern society.Traditional detection methods often require a separate laboratory,complex operation process and long detection time,so it is urgent to develop portable,fast and accurate on-site detection technologies for bioanalysis.Point-of-care testing(POCT),which differs from traditional laboratory testing,can realize the rapid in situ detection of biomarkers without the complicated analytical process of the laboratory.Smartphones,which are an essential tool in our daily life,not only have independent operating systems and built-in storage functions,but also have high-definition cameras,which have great application potential in POCT visualization.The combination of various biosensing technologies and smartphones has developed into a new direction in the field of POCT.This review mainly introduced the research progress of smartphone-based visual biosensors in POCT in recent years,including colorimetric sensors,fluorescence sensors,chemiluminescence sensors and electrochemiluminescence sensors.Finally,the problems faced by smart-phone-based visual biosensors in the application of POCT were summarized,and their future development was prospected.

ObjectiveTo investigate the genetic polymorphism and structure of 47 autosomal microhaplotypes in the Han population in Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, and to evaluate the forensic efficiencies and forensic parameters. MethodsThe DNA library of unrelated individual samples was prepared according to MHSeqTyper47 kit manual and sequenced on the MiSeq FGx platform. Microhaplotype genotyping and sequencing depth statistics were processed using MHTyper. The genetic information of samples was then evaluated. The fixation index and genetic distance between the Jiangsu Changshu population and the reference populations in the 1000 Genomes Project phase 3 (1KG) were calculated, and forensic parameters were evaluated. ResultsThe fixation index and genetic distance between the Han population in Changshu, Jiangsu, and the CHB (Han Chinese in Beijing, China) reference population in 1KG were the lowest. The effective allele number (A_e) of each locus is also the closest between the two populations. The combined matching probability (CMP) of the Changshu Han population is close to the 5 populations of the East Asian reference super-population in 1KG, which is 1.25×10^-36, and the combined probability of exclusion reached 0.999 999 999 964 1. ConclusionThis study reported the genetic polymorphism and allele frequency of 47 microhaplotypes in a Han population in Changshu City, Jiangsu Province. This information provides a data basis for 47 microhaplotypes in forensic applications. In addition, the polymorphism differences between the 1KG reference population and the Han population in Changshu, Jiangsu were compared, and the genetic structure of 47 microhaplotypes in the Han population in Changshu, Jiangsu was revealed. In general, the reference data of the East Asian super-population in 1KG is more in line with the genetic characteristics of Han population in Changshu, Jiangsu.

This study adopted the policy text analysis method,review the historical background of the enactment,aimed to comparatively analyze the international pharmaceutical trade policies of the BRICS countries.The main objectives of the BRICS countries'international pharmaceutical trade policies included ensuring stable and accessible drug supply,expanding exports of domestic products and creating a favorable political environment.For these purposes,Brazil,Russia,and South Africa all ensure drug supply through substantial imports.However,they have also taken measures such as compulsory patent licensing and promoting localization of production by foreign companies to reduce import dependence.India,on the other hand,protects its domestic industry by resisting drug imports to ensure drug supply while simultaneously promoting the export of pharmaceutical products.China continually optimizes approval and data monitoring procedures to align with international standards,creating a favorable trade environment and expanding exports.China should further refine its international pharmaceutical trade policies while ensuring the autonomy of domestic drug research and supply,fostering stronger collaboration within BRICS nations and promoting global access to public healthcare products.

Objective:Analyze the medical reimbursement rate and influencing factors under the DIP payment method to refine the DIP payment policy,promote the optimization of internal operations in medical institutions,and ensure reasonable compensation.Methods:Based on the 2022 DIP fund settlement data from 196 medical institutions in City A,the study used multiple linear regression to analyze the factors affecting medical reimbursement rate and conducted a heterogeneity analysis for medical institutions of different levels.Results:The medical reimbursement rate for medical institutions in City A in 2022 was 103.32%.Medical institutions with lower CMI standardized inpatient costs,lower rates of deviation cases,tertiary care institutions,lower proportion of level-four surgeries,and lower ratios of resident to employee medical insurance cases have higher medical reimbursement rate(P<0.05).Heterogeneity analysis reveals that therates of deviation cases,the proportion of primary care diseases,the ratio of resident to employee medical insurance cases,and the low-standard admission rate have different impacts on medical institutions of different levels.Conclusion:Medical insurance departments should improve policies for primary care diseases,dynamically adjust disease catalogs and payment standards,optimize funding levels and institutional coefficients,and increase penalties for violations to ensure effective use of funds.Medical institutions need to strengthen their understanding of policies,focus on refined internal management,promote standardized and rational diagnosis and treatment through performance assessment transformation,and leverage their own advantages in medical services to reasonably increase the medical reimbursement rate.
