OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of evolocumab and probucol in patients with ultra-high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease （ASCVD） following percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 156 ultra-high-risk ASCVD patients who underwent PCI in our institution between January 1， 2023 and December 31， 2024. According to the lipid-lowering regimen， the patients were categorized into evolocumab group （ n ＝86） and probucol group （ n ＝70）. Changes in lipid parameters [total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprot ein cholesterol （LDL-C）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， triglycerides， lipoprotein （a）， and lipid goal achievement rate ] ， inflammatory markers [interleukin-6 （IL-6） and C-reactive protein （CRP） ] ， and cardiac function indices （left ventricular ejection fraction， left ventricular end-systolic diameter， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter， and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide） were compared between two groups at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. The incidence of adverse clinical events during treatment， including acute myocardial infarction， in-stent restenosis， acute heart failure， cerebral hemorrhage， and stroke， was also evaluated. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups at baseline （ P ＞0.05）. After 6 months of treatment， both groups demonstrated significant improvements in lipid profiles （except HDL-C） and inflammatory markers compared to those at baseline （ P ＜0.05）. The evolocumab group exhibited greater reductions in TC， LDL-C， IL-6， and CRP， along with a higher lipid target achievement rate， compared with the probucol group （ P ＜0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in the cardiac function-related indicators before and after treatment between the two groups， nor in the incidence of adverse events during the treatment （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS For ultra-high-risk ASCVD patients after PCI， both of the above treatment options are associated with improvements in blood lipid and inflammatory response， with good safety during short-term follow-up. Evolocumab shows superior efficacy in TC， LDL-C and inflammatory markers reduction and lipid target achievement， compared to probucol.

Objective To investigate the value of prone-position MRI of lumbar spine for diagnosing pediatric occult tethered cord syndrome(OTCS).Methods A total of 67 children with suspected tethered cord syndrome(TCS)and confirmed OTCS by surgery were prospectively enrolled as OTCS group,while 73 healthy subjects were recruited as control group.Supine-and prone-position lumbar MR examinations were performed in both groups.The position of filum terminale on prone axial T2WI and the presence or absence of"sunset sign"(i.e.filum terminale located within the dorsal 1/2 of spinal canal on prone axial T2WI)were observed,spinal cord conus mobility was calculated.The efficacy of"sunset sign"for diagnosing OTCS in children was calculated through comparison between groups.Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn,the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of spinal cord conus mobility.Results On prone-position axial T2WI,"sunset sign"was found in 58 cases(58/67,86.57％)but not in 9 cases(9/67,13.43％)in OTCS group,which was not even observed in control group.The sensitivity of"sunset sign"for diagnosing pediatric OTCS was 86.57％(58/67),with specificity of 100％(73/73),positive predictive value of 100％(58/58)and negative predictive value of 89.02％(73/82).The spinal cord conus mobility was(19.30±5.89)％in OTCS group and(31.71±6.58)％in control group,being statistically different between groups(t=-11.722,P＜0.001).The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of spinal cord conus mobility for diagnosing pediatric OTCS was 80.60％,90.41％and 0.920,respectively.Conclusion Prone-position MRI of lumbar spine could be used in diagnosing pediatric OTCS.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To analyze the application effect of the case-based learning (CBL), lecture-based learning (LBL) and seminar three-track stereoscopic model in the teaching of health management for chronic diseases.Methods:In this non-randomized controlled trial, a total of 70 five-year clinical medicine major undergraduate students were continuously selected as the research subjects in the Air Force Medical University during 2023-2024 year. The students enrolled the chronic disease health management course. Thirty-five cases in 2023 were assigned to the control group, while 35 cases in 2024 were assigned to the experimental group. The control group were taught by the traditional teaching method, while experimental group were taught with a combined model of CBL, LBL, and Seminar. The number of class hours for both groups were 30, with a class frequency of 2 class hours per week. The intervention period began with the first class and ended after the last class, totaling 15 weeks. The general information, medical professional courses and basic knowledge of chronic disease health management scores in the two groups were collected before intervention. The learning effect and satisfaction rate were evaluated through teaching satisfaction score, assessment assignments, practical ability score and excellent rate, autonomous learning ability score at 15 weeks after the intervention.Results:Among the 70 participants, 37 were male and 33 were female, with a mean age of (21.00±0.27) years. Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant differences in the general information, medical professional courses and basic knowledge of chronic disease health management scores between the two groups (all P>0.05). Fifteen weeks after the intervention, the experimental group had significantly higher scores in teaching content score, teaching method score, assessment assignment, final grade, practical ability scores, excellent rate of practical ability, self-management ability score, information literacy score, and learning cooperation ability score when compared to those in the control group [(93.3±6.9) vs (80.1±7.8) points, (97.1±6.3) vs (81.0±9.6) points, (91.1±7.8) vs (80.1±8.9) points, (92.9±9.4) vs (81.8±9.8) points, (91.3±7.6) vs (80.3±8.7) points, 54.3% vs 22.9%, (27.3±4.8) vs (22.8±6.8) points, (26.9±3.9) vs (20.8±4.1) points, (35.9±8.1) vs (28.9±7.1) points] (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Implementing of CBL, LBL, and Seminar teaching model in the chronic disease health management curriculum significantly enhances teaching effectiveness and improves students' overall competencies.

Objective:To analyze the association of sedentary time and physical activity with the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in non-smoking women aged 40 years and above in Songjiang District, Shanghai.Methods:Based on a natural population-based cohort in Songjiang, a total of 18 707 non-smoking women who were aged 40 years and above and without COPD at baseline survey were enrolled in the study. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the associations of the duration of sedentary behavior, physical activity with the risk for COPD at baseline survey, and the hazard ratio ( HR) of risk for COPD and its 95% CI were calculated. Stratified analyses were performed based on age, BMI, history of respiratory diseases and so on. Sensitivity analyses were conducted by excluding the cases diagnosed with COPD within one year after the baseline survey. Results:As of March 31, 2024, a total of 691 new COPD cases had been recorded after a median follow-up time of 6.96 years with an incidence density of 53.22 per 10 000 person-years. After adjusting for relevant confounders, in the tertile subgroups of sedentary time, the risk for COPD reduced by 17% in the short sedentary time group compared with the long sedentary time group ( HR=0.83,95% CI:0.70-0.99). Compared with the low physical activity level and long sedentary time group, the risk for COPD reduced by 24% in the high physical activity level and short sedentary time group ( HR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.61-0.95) and by 23% in the low physical activity level and short sedentary time group ( HR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.60-0.97). Compared with the non-physical exercise and long sedentary time group, the risk for COPD reduced by 28% in the non-physical exercise and short sedentary time group ( HR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.60-0.87). These associations remained when the cases diagnosed with COPD within one year of the baseline survey were excluded. Conclusions:Increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary time have beneficial effects to prevent COPD in non-smoking women, and reducing sedentary time alone may also reduce the risk for COPD if increasing physical exercise or other physical activity is not possible.

This review delves into the pivotal role of necrotic apoptosis in Alzheimer's disease(AD),with a focus on treatment strategies,drug development,prospects,and challenges,highlighting its significance in the progression of the disease.Firstly,necrotic apoptosis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AD,particularly in association with the abnormal metabolism of β-amyloid(Aβ)and Tau proteins.The primary focus of drug design is to regulate the metabolism pathways of these two proteins to slow down or inhibit the progression of necrotic apoptosis.Secondly,the progress in drug development further emphasizes the importance of necrotic apoptosis in treating AD.Current research mainly focuses on drugs that affect the metabolism of Aβ and Tau proteins,such as lecanemab.Still,inconsistent result underscore the necessity for a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms of necrotic apoptosis.Finally,the prospects and challenges of necrotic apoptosis research in AD are thoroughly discussed.A deeper understanding of necrotic apoptosis contributes to a better comprehension of the pathological mechanisms of AD but also may reveal new therapeutic targets.However,challenges such as multifactorial influences and the selection of treatment timing necessitate further in-depth research in the future.In conclusion,this review advocates for future research to deepen the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of necrotic apoptosis,enhance research on treatment strategies,gain a deeper understanding of its cross-regulation with other cell death pathways,and promote collaboration between basic research and clinical practice to advance the comprehensive understanding and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and necrotic apoptosis.

Cytoglobin(Cygb)is a recently discov-ered astrocyte specific globin that is widely distrib-uted in mammalian visceral organs such as the lung,heart,spleen,liver,pancreas,stomach,small intestine,kidney,neuron,and bone tissue.It plays an important role in clearing reactive oxygen spe-cies,nitric oxide and nitrite signal transduction,al-leviating oxidative stress,anti-fibrosis,regulation of cell apoptosis and treatment of cancer,etc.It is worth noting that the anti-fibrosis role of Cygb has attracted increasing attention in recent years.The existing research has involved various fibrotic dis-eases such as the liver,pancreas,kidney,spleen,etc.,especially in the study of liver fibrosis,which has made great progress.This article system re-views the role of Cygb in various fibrotic diseases,with a focus on its mechanism of alleviating oxida-tive stress.Although the application of Cygb in fi-brotic diseases is still in its infancy and the underly-ing mechanisms still require extensive research and exploration,there is no doubt that Cygb can serve as a promising therapeutic target,with the poten-tial to be widely used in the prevention and treat-ment of fibrotic diseases.

[Objective]To establish a risk recognition model for coronary artery stenosis by using a machine learning method and to identify the key causative factors.[Methods]Patients aged≥18 years,diagnosed with coronary heart disease through coronary angiography from January 2013 to May 2020 in two prominent hospitals in Shanxi Province,were continuously enrolled.Logistic regression,back propagation neural network(BPNN),and random forest(RF)algorithms were used to construct models for detecting the causative factors of coronary artery stenosis.Sensitivity(TPR),specificity(TNR),accuracy(ACC),positive predictive value(PV+),negative predictive value(PV-),area under subject operating characteristic curve(AUC),and calibration curve were used to compare the discrimination and calibration performance of the models.The best model was then employed to predict the main risk variables associated with coronary stenosis.[Results]The RF model exhibited superior comprehensive performance compared to logistic regression and BPNN models.The TPR values for logistic regression,BPNN,and RF models were 75.76%,74.30%,and 93.70%,while ACC values were 74.05%,72.30%,and 79.49%,respectively.The AUC values were:logistic regression 0.739 9;BPNN 0.723 1;RF 0.752 2.Manifestations such as chest pains,abnormal ST segments on ECG,ventricular premature beats with hypertension,atrial fibrillation,regional wall motion abnormalities(RWMA)by color echocardiography,aortic regurgitation(AR),pulmonary insufficiency(PI),family history of cardiovascular diseases,and body mass index(BMI)were identified as top ten important variables affecting coronary stenosis according to the RF model.[Conclusions]Random forest model shows the best comprehensive performance in identification and accurate assessment of coronary artery stenosis.The prediction of risk factors affecting coronary artery stenosis can provide a scientific basis for clinical intervention and help to formulate further diagnosis and treatment strategies so as to delay the disease progression.
