Objective To explore the correlation between central venous oxygen saturation(ScvO2)-re-lated indexes at different time points and the occurrence of low cardiac output syndrome(LCOS)after con-genital heart disease(CHD)correction surgery.Methods A total of 73 children who underwent CHD correc-tion surgery in this hospital from July 1st,2021 to July 1st,2024 were selected as the research subjects.The clinical data,preoperative conditions,and postoperative conditions of the children were collected.The ScvO2 and arterial lactate(Lac)levels of the children at different time points(the 1st,6th,12th,and 24th hours after surgery)were monitored,and the ScvO2/Lac at different time points and the change rate of ScvO2 in different time periods were calculated.The correlation between ScvO2-related indexes and LCOS after CHD correction surgery was analyzed.Results ScvO2 at the 6th hour after surgery,ScvO2 at the 12th hour after surgery,Sc-vO2/Lac at the 12th hour after surgery,the change rate of ScvO2 from the 1st to the 24th hour after surgery,the change rate of ScvO2 from the 6th to the 12th hour after surgery,and the change rate of ScvO2 from the 12th to the 24th hour after surgery were independent influencing factors of LCOS occurrence after CHD cor-rection surgery(P＜0.05).There was a negative correlation between ScvO2 at the 12th hour after surgery,ScvO2/Lac and LCOS occurrence after CHD correction surgery(r=-0.543,-0.523,P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of ScvO2 at the 12th hour after surgery for predicting LCOS occurrence after CHD correction surgery was 0.938(95％CI:0.865-1.000);the AUC of ScvO2/Lac at the 12th hour after surgery for predicting LCOS occurrence after CHD correction surgery was 0.922(95％CI:0.851-0.994).Conclusion ScvO2 and ScvO2/Lac at the 12th hour after surgery have good predictive potential for LCOS occurrence af-ter CHD correction surgery.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-483-3p on hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)-induced apoptosis and pyroptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes and its possible mechanism.Methods Rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured in vitro,adeno-associated virus-infected H9c2 and the H/R model were constructed by triple-air incuba-tor,and the cells were randomly divided into blank control(Sham)group,model(H/R)group,AAV-miR-483-3p mimic+H/R(AAV-miR-483-3p)group,AAV-miR-483-3p negative control+H/R(AAV-NC)group.The growth status of cells in each group was observed using an inverted microscope;cell proliferation activity was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8);LDH release by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)kit;apoptosis rate by flow cytometry;apoptosis by notched end labeling(TUNEL).Western blot(WB)was used to detect the expression levels of IL-1β and GSDMD proteins in each group.Results Compared with the Sham group,the H/R group showed abnormal cell status and increased cell death,decreased cell activity,increased LDH release,increased apoptosis rate and apopto-sis level,and increased expression levels of IL-1β and GSDMD proteins(P<0.05);compared with the H/R group,the AAV-miR-483-3p group showed improved cell status and less cell death,increased cell proliferation activity,increased LDH release,and increased IL-1β and GSDMD protein expression levels(P<0.05).Compared with the H/R group,the AAV-miR-483-3p group showed improved cell status and less cell death,increased cell proliferation activity,decreased LDH release,decreased apoptosis rate and apoptosis level,and decreased expression of IL-1β and GSDMD proteins(P<0.05).Conclusion Over-expression of miR-483-3p can improve H/R-inducedH9c2 cardiomyocyte injury by enhancing cell activity and cell metabolism,and inhibiting apoptosis and cell charring.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To observe the effect of pirfenidone on myocardial fibrosis in rats and inves-tigate its underlying mechanism.Methods Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group,model group,low-and high-dose pirfenidone groups,with 6 rats in each group.Rat model of myocardial fibrosis was established by injecting isoprenaline into the tail vein,while normal saline was given to the sham operation group.Pirfenidone of 150 and 300 mg/(kg·d)were infused gastrically to the rats of low-and high-dose pirfenidone groups after modeling.Mas-son staining was used to observe the severity of myocardial fibrosis,immunohistochemical assay was employed to detect the expression of Collagen-1,NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome,cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1(Caspase-1),and Western blotting was performed to detect the protein levels of Collogen-1 and atrial desmo-plakin D(gasdermin D,GSDMD).Results The model group showed obvious myocardial fibrosis,and elevated expression of Collogen-1,NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD when compared with the sham operation group(P＜0.05).Low-and high-dose pirfenidone treatment resulted in signifi-cantly reduced myocardial fibrosis and reduced expression of Collogen-1,NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD[(8.14±1.40)％,(6.56±0.75)％vs(22.15±2.57)％,P＜0.05;0.14±0.03 vs 0.33±0.05,0.42±0.13,P＜0.05;(10.34±1.40)％,(10.33±3.40)％vs(23.22±1.99)％,P＜0.05;(15.67±0.56)％,(17.33±0.78)％vs(22.87±1.92)％,P＜0.05;0.43±0.06,0.46±0.11 vs 0.65±0.03,P＜0.05].Conclusion Pirfenidone inhibits cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and attenuates myocar-dial fibrosis through the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling axis.

The problem of drug resistance resulting from the long-term use of antimicrobials is a serious threat to global health,and the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria,in particular,has greatly limited therapeutic op-tions.Therefore,the development of new or alternative antimicrobial agents has become an urgent need.Antimi-crobial peptides(AMPs)have been regarded as good alternatives to antibacterial drugs due to their strong antibac-terial activity and unique mechanism of action.At present,some AMPs have completed preclinical studies on drug-resistant bacterial infections and entered the clinical trial stage,while their stability and targeting have been signifi-cantly improved through the optimisation of amino acid modification,nano-delivery system and other technolo-gies,which have gradually become a research hotspot in this field.Therefore,this paper discusses the importance of AMPs in bacterial drug resistance from the biological properties of AMPs,the mechanism of regulating bacteri-al drug resistance and the application of AMPs in the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections,with a view to providing a reference for the development of drugs against drug-resistant bacteria and clinical application.

Objective To explore the application effect of the dual-track nursing intervention model in the treatment process of children with lobar pneumonia.Methods A total of 186 children with lobar pneumonia were selected and randomly divided into control group and intervention group u-sing a double-blind method,with 93 cases in each group.The control group received conventional nursing intervention,while the intervention group implemented the dual-track nursing intervention model on the basis of conventional nursing.This model included the establishment and training of nurs-ing teams,personalized nursing plans,health education,and psychological support.Outside the hos-pital,it emphasized family support,regular follow-up guidance,and community-based collaborative ed-ucation.Both groups received a 3-week intervention.The improvement times of clinical symptoms,hos-pital stay,pulmonary function indicators before and after nursing,treatment compliance,and family members' satisfaction with nursing were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results The fever resolution time[(3.89±0.96)d],cough relief time[(6.21±1.34)d],disappearance time of pulmonary rales[(7.89±1.56)d],and hospital stay duration[(9.45±1.89)d]in the intervention group were all shorter than those in the control group[(5.23±1.14),(7.45±1.67),(9.32±2.01),and(11.28±2.35)d,respectively],with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).After nursing,the forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)[(1.51±0.22)L],forced vital capacity(FVC)[(1.75±0.25)L],and FEV1/FVC[(94.12±5.65)％]in the intervention group were all higher than those in the control group[(1.42±0.15)L,(1.66±0.22)L,and(85.73±8.41)％,respectively],with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The scores for exami-nation cooperation[(23.91±3.82)points],nursing cooperation[(24.19±4.03)points],standardized medication use[(24.26±3.94)points],and rational diet[(23.77±3.62)points]in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group[(20.16±3.53),(19.64±3.46),(23.05±3.68),and(18.85±3.41)points,respectively],with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The satisfaction rate of family members with nursing work in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(98.92％versus 89.25％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The dual-track nursing intervention model has a signifi-cant application effect in children with lobar pneumonia.It can accelerate their recovery process,improve treatment compliance,promote pulmonary function improvement,and enhance family mem-bers' satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) for severe traumatic brain injury secondary to acute lung injury (sTBI-ALI).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on patients with severe traumatic brain injury admitted to the trauma center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2021 to November 2023. Patients received standard treatments including hemostasis and intracranial pressure management. Vital signs and blood routine data were collected upon admission. Patients were categorized into sTBI group and sTBI-ALI group based on established clinical diagnostic criteria for ALI to evaluate the diagnostic utility of SII. Subsequently, within the sTBI-ALI group, patients were stratified into survival and non-survival groups based on their 30-day outcomes to assess the prognostic value of SII.Results:A total of 260 sTBI patients were enrolled, of whom 113 developed ALI. Among the sTBI-ALI patients, 73 survived at 30 days. Compared to the sTBI group, the sTBI-ALI group exhibited significantly higher respiratory rates, heart rates, white blood cell counts, neutrophil counts, platelet counts, and SII levels (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SII index ( OR=1.003, 95% CI: 1.002-1.004, P<0.001) was an independent risk factor for ALI development in sTBI patients. The combined predictive model incorporating SII and heart rate yielded an AUC of 0.801 (95% CI: 0.740-0.862). The non-survival group had significantly higher neutrophil counts and SII levels, and significantly lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores than the survival group (all P<0.05). Multifactorial regression analysis indicated that SII index ( OR=1.002, P=0.004, 95% CI: 1.000-1.003) served as an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality in sTBI-ALI patients. The combined predictive model of SII and GCS achieved an AUC of 0.904 (95% CI: 0.848-0.960). Conclusions:SII demonstrates potential as a biomarker for predicting the development of ALI following sTBI. Furthermore, incorporating SII into predictive models significantly enhances the ability to forecast mortality risk in sTBI-ALI patients.
