Rosuvastatin(RVS)is an excellent drug with anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties in the aca-demic and medical fields.However,this drug faces a series of challenges when used to treat atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia(HHcy),including high oral dosage,poor targeting,and long-term toxic side effects.In this study,we applied nanotechnology to construct a biomimetic nano-delivery system,macrophage membrane(M?m)-coated RVS-loaded Prussian blue(PB)nanoparticles(MPR NPs),for improving the bioavailability and targeting capacity of RVS,specifically to the plaque lesions associated with HHcy-induced atherosclerosis.In vitro assays demonstrated that MPR NPs effectively inhibited the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)/nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain(NOD)-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathways,reducing pyroptosis and inflammatory response in macrophages.Additionally,MPR NPs reversed the abnormal distribution of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1)/ATP binding cassette transporter G1(ABCA1)/ATP binding cassette transporter G1(ABCG1)caused by HIF-1α,promoting cholesterol efflux and reducing lipid deposition.In vivo studies using apolipoprotein E knockout(ApoE-/-)mice confirmed the strong efficacy of MPR NPs in treating atherosclerosis with favorable bio-security,and the mechanism behind this efficacy is believed to involve the regulation of serum metabolism and the remodeling of gut microbes.These findings suggest that the synthesis of MPR NPs provides a promising nanosystem for the targeted therapy of HHcy-induced atherosclerosis.

Objective:To analyze the changes of preterm birth rate and proportion of multipara in 10 years, and to explore the possibility of multipara as a risk factor for preterm birth.Methods:This study was a cohort study. The general clinical data and pregnancy outcomes of 53 979 parturients delivered in Peking University First Hospital from January 2013 to December 2022 were collected, and the changes of preterm birth rate and proportion of multipara in the past 10 years were analyzed retrospectively. Single factor and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the risk factors of spontaneous preterm birth and the influence of multipara on pregnancy outcome.Results:(1) The total preterm birth rate of 53 979 parturients was 8.3%(4 478/53 979), and the overall preterm birth rate showed an upward trend in the past 10 years, among which the preterm birth rate was higher in 2017 and 2018, which were 8.9% and 9.2% respectively. The proportion of multipara was 24.9% (13 440/53 979), which showed a trend of rising first, then declining and then stabilizing. In 2017 and 2018, the proportion of multipara was the highest, accounting for 35.0%. (2) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that multipara was a risk factor for spontaneous preterm birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy ( OR=1.678, 95% CI: 1.523-1.850; P<0.001), which was also a risk factor for spontaneous preterm birth before 34 weeks of pregnancy ( OR=1.937, 95% CI: 1.632-2.301; P<0.001). The high risk factors of spontaneous preterm birth also include multiple pregnancies, hyperglycemia during pregnancy, abnormal amniotic fluid volume, premature rupture of membranes, intrauterine infection, cervical incompetence, history of cervical surgery and abnormal uterine development. (3) Compared with primiparas, multiparas was older, had earlier delivery weeks, higher premature delivery rate, higher birth weight and fewer multiple pregnancies. Among pregnancy complications, the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus, placenta previa, placenta implantation, urgent delivery and macrosomia was higher, while the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, oligohydramnios, fetal growth restriction, premature rupture of membranes, intrauterine infection and postpartum hemorrhage was lower, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In recent 10 years, the overall rate of preterm birth is on the rise, and the risk factors of preterm birth are basically similar to those in previous studies. Multipara is a high-risk group of spontaneous preterm birth, and the risk of various pregnancy complications increases, which should be paid attention to in pregnancy care.

The clinical performance and failure issues are significantly influenced by prosthetic malposition in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Uncertainty exists about the impact of the prosthetic joint line height in UKA on tibial insert wear. In this study, we combined the UKA musculoskeletal multibody dynamics model, finite element model and wear model to investigate the effects of seven joint line height cases of fixed UKA implant on postoperative insert contact mechanics, cumulative sliding distance, linear wear depth and volumetric wear. As the elevation of the joint line height in UKA, the medial contact force and the joint anterior-posterior translation during swing phase were increased, and further the maximum von Mises stress, contact stress, linear wear depth, cumulative sliding distance, and the volumetric wear also were increased. Furthermore, the wear area of the insert gradually shifted from the middle region to the rear. Compared to 0 mm joint line height, the maximum linear wear depth and volumetric wear were decreased by 7.9% and 6.8% at -2 mm joint line height, and by 23.7% and 20.6% at -6 mm joint line height, the maximum linear wear depth and volumetric wear increased by 10.7% and 5.9% at +2 mm joint line height, and by 24.1% and 35.7% at +6 mm joint line height, respectively. UKA prosthetic joint line installation errors can significantly affect the wear life of the polyethylene inserted articular surfaces. Therefore, it is conservatively recommended that clinicians limit intraoperative UKA joint line height errors to -2-+2 mm.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of modified upper urinary tract video urodynamics in evaluating the surgical effect and guiding the follow-up treatment after ureteral reconstruction.Methods:From December 2018 to November 2020, sixty-nine patients underwent upper urinary tract reconstruction and received modified video urodynamics at the time of nephrostomy removal 3 months after the surgery in the RECUTTER database (29 cases in Peking University First Hospital, 22 cases in Emergency General Hospital, and 18 cases in Beijing Jiangong Hospital). There were 39 males and 30 females, with an average age of (40.4±12.7)years. The stricture was located in left in 34 patients, right side in 27 patients, and bilateral sides in 8 patients. The upper, middle, and lower thirds of the ureter were affected in 26, 10, and 33 cases, respectively. The preoperative creatinine was (92.3±26.9)μmol/L, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was (85.1±23.2)ml/(min·1.73m 2). The upper urinary tract reconstruction included ileal replacement of ureter in 25 cases (36.2%), pyeloplasty in 8 cases (11.6%), ureteroneocystostomy in 9 cases (13.0%), boari flap in 6 cases (8.7%), lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty in 9 cases (13.0%), appendiceal onlay ureteroplasty in 3 cases (4.3%), ureteroureterostomy in 3 cases (4.3%), and balloon dilation in 6 cases (8.7%). Based on the pressure and imaging, the results could be divided into three types, type Ⅰ, the pressure difference remained stable near baseline, and the renal pelvis pressure was below 22 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa), and the reconstructed ureter is well visualized during the whole perfusion process; type Ⅱ, the pressure difference increases with the perfusion, but it can decrease to a normal level with the ureteral peristalsis; type Ⅲ, the pressure difference exceeds 15 cmH 2O, and the ureteral peristalsis is weak or disappears at the same time. The management strategies and treatment effects of different subtypes were analyzed. Successful treatment was defined as no further treatment required, the absence of hydronephrosis-related symptoms, and the improved or stabilized degree of hydronephrosis. Results:All 69 patients successfully completed upper urinary tract video urodynamics. The pressure difference was higher than 15 cmH 2O in 8 patients, and the median pressure difference was 37(19-54)cmH 2O. The renal pelvis pressure exceeded 22 cmH 2O in 10 patients, and the median pressure was 63.5 (24-155) cmH 2O. Video urodynamic results of upper urinary tract were classified as type Ⅰ in 60 cases, type Ⅱ in 5 cases, and type Ⅲ in 4 cases. Patients in type Ⅰ do not require other treatment after nephrostomy tube removal. Patients in type Ⅱ should avoid holding urine after the removal of nephrostomy and D-J tubes. All patients in type Ⅲ received further treatment, of which 2 patients replaced D-J tube regularly, 1 patient underwent long-term metal ureteral stent replacement, and 1 patient underwent ureteroscopic balloon dilation. The median follow-up time was 24 (18-42) months. All patients in type Ⅰ met the criteria for surgical success, The pre-and postoperative creatinine in type Ⅰ patients were (88.71±23.09)μmol/L and (88.75±23.64)μmol/L ( P=0.984), and eGFR were (88.06±22.66)ml/(min· 1.73m 2)and (87.97±23.01)ml/(min·1.73m 2), respectively( P=0.969). For type Ⅱ patients, ultrasound showed that the degree of hydronephrosis improved in 3 cases and remained stable in 2 cases. The pre-and postoperative creatinine were (105.97±7.75)μmol/L and (97.63±7.56)μmol/L ( P=0.216), and eGFR were (69.08±14.74)ml/(min·1.73m 2)and (75.95±14.02)ml/(min·1.73m 2)( P=0.243), respectively. For type Ⅲ patients, ultrasound showed that the degree of hydronephrosis remained stable. The pre-and postoperative creatinine were (105.14±44.34)μmol/L and (101.49±57.02)μmol/L ( P=0.684), and eGFR were (65.32±19.85)ml/(min·1.73m 2) and (73.42±27.88) ml/(min·1.73m 2), respectively( P=0.316). Conclusions:The pressure and imaging results of modified upper urinary tract video urodynamics can assist in evaluating the surgical effect of ureteral reconstruction, and the classification has certain guiding significance for further treatment.

Objective? To compare the reliability and validity of Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) and Neelon and Champagne Confusion Scale (NEECHAM) when evaluating non-mechanical ventilation patients in Neurosurgery Department. Methods? A total of 100 non-mechanical ventilation patients in the Neurosurgery Department of a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Shanxi Province from August to December 2018 were selected. The non-operative patients were assessed on the third day after admission, and the operative patients were assessed on the third day after operation. Qualified nurses assessed the patients at 00:00—1:00, 8:00—9:00 and 16:00—17:00 with ICDSC and NEECHAM. Psychiatrists assess the patients at 16:30—17:30 on the same day by Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV). Using the results of DSM-IV as the gold standard, the curve of ROC was drawn, and the sensitivity and specificity of the two scales were compared. Results? Area under ROC Curve (ROCAUC) of ICDSC was 0.891 (95%CI: 0.826-0.956,P＜0.01). The ROCAUC of NEECHAM was 0.987 (95% CI: 0.970-0.999, P＜ 0.01). When the optimal threshold of ICDSC was 4.25, the sensitivity and specificity were 87.8% and 76.2% respectively. When the optimal threshold of NEECHAM was 23.5, the sensitivity and specificity were 98.0% and 92.9% respectively. Conclusions? The misdiagnosis rate of NEECHAM is lower than ICDSC, and the diagnostic efficacy, authenticity, reliability and diagnostic value of NEECHAM are higher than ICDSC. NEECHAM is more suitable for nurses to evaluate delirium in neurosurgery patients without mechanical ventilation.

Objective To explore the value of cMRI and MRS in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of single brain metastases and localized high grade gliomas.Methods The cMRI (T1WI,T2WI and contrast-enhanced MRI)and MRS data of 23 cases with single brain metastases and in 28 cases with high grade gliomas confirmed by pathology were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Results cMRI:①There were no significant differences of T1WI,T2WI and constrast-enhanced MRI between single brain metastases and high-grade gliomas.②Enhanced images of single brain metastases and localized high-grade gliomas showed that there was a significant difference in the peritumoral edema area:the nodular or ring enhancement were found in single brain metastases,the outer outline of ring enhancement was smooth,and there was no enhancement at the peripheral edema area;Irregular patchy or ring enhancement were found in localized high-grade glioma tumor,both of the outer and inner edges of the ring enhancement rough,a little patchy enhancement at the peripheral edema area were found in 1 6 patients,and there was no enhancement of the edema area in the other 1 2 patients.MRS:①There were no significant differences of the tumor parenchyma in the peaks of NAA,Cr,Cho and central Lac between single brain metastases and localized high grade gliomas.②A significant difference of the peripheral edema area were observed between them.The peaks of NAA,Cr,Cho at the edema area in all single brain metastases patients were normal.But in all high-grade glioma patients,the NAA and Cr peaks were decreased,while the Cho peaks were increased.Conclusion The morphological manifestations of single brain metastases are similar to localized high grade gliomas.An obvious difference of cMRI and MRS lines exists in the peritumoral edema area between them,which could be used for differential diagnosis.

Objective To introduce the application of grafting mechanism on a classⅢ grade A hospital's nursing counterpart support to county-level hospitals in Shanxi Province, and to summarize its effects and existing problems, so as to promote nursing counterpart support work and provide reference for the increase of the efficiency of counterpart support. Methods From 2014 to 2016, grafting mechanism was carried out in 23 county-level hospitals nursing counterpart supported by a classⅢ grade A hospital of Shanxi Province through 4 segments: field investigation, content selection, cultural integration and guided implementation. The evaluation of various mechanisms before and after grafting and the nurse satisfaction, patient satisfaction, high quality nursing service, as well as key discipline construction were statistically analyzed in 23 count-level hospitals. Results 100% of the 23 county-level hospitals applied grafting mechanism. A total of 20 nursing mechanism were grafted, focusing on 7 personnel systems, 3 performance management systems and 10 nursing quality management systems. The evaluation level of various mechanisms was significantly improved in the county-level hospitals after mechanism grafting. Nurse satisfaction increased from (87.6±15.2) to (89.7±16.8);patient satisfaction increased from (92.3±17.5) to (94.1±18.1); and high quality nursing service score increased from (73.5±12.9) to (75.8±14.0), and the differences were statistically significant (t=5.725, 4.042, 6.493;P< 0.01). A total of 5 of the county-level hospitals were approved provincial key discipline construction projects. Conclusions The mechanism of grafting plays a significant role in nursing counterpart support activities. Its theories and practice are worth of promoting.

Autophagosomes derived from tumor cells have been proved to induce potent T cell response both in mouse and human. In human in vitro study, dendritic cells(DC)loaded with cytomegalovirus(CMV)pp65 antigen-containing DRibble were capable to efficiently re-stimulate pp65-specific T-cell recall responses from freshly isolated or frozen humanperipheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC). This study developed more robust assays using in vitro expanded antigen-specific T cells that contained a much higher percentage of antigen-specific T cells. DC cross-presentation efficiency of OX40 and CD80 modified pp65-DRibble was detected by intracellular IFN-γ staining. Compared with Ctrl/pp65 DRibble, the percentage of IFN-γ+ in total CD8+ T cells andCD4+ T cells was improvedwith OX40/pp65 DRibbleand CD80/pp65 DRibble stimulation. In addition, vaccine induced IL-12indendritic cells, whichpolarizes Th cells toward the IFN-γ high Th1 phenotype, evaluated by ELISA inco-culture supernatantwas dramatically higher in OX40/pp65 DRibble and CD80/pp65 DRibblegroups than in Ctrl/pp65 DRibble group. These results have implications for the immuneactivity of OX40 and CD80 modified DRibble and choice for prospective clinical use ofDRibble-based cancer immunotherapy.
