Objective To investigate the application value of late gadolinium enhancement(LEG)at cardiac MRI in predicting ventricular arrhythmia(VA)events in patients after implantation of ICD.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 16 patients at high risk of sudden cardi-ac death after ICD implantation and LEG examination in the First and the Sixth Medical Centers of Chinese PLA General Hospital from June 2020 to March 2024.According the occurrence of VA events receiving appropriate ICD therapy during the follow-up period,they were divided into post-operative VA group(7 cases)and non-VA group(9 cases).The correlation of clinical baseline fea-tures and LEG features with VA events was analyzed.Results The ratios of transmural enhance-ment and myocardial medium enhancement were obviously higher in the VA group than the non-VA group(71.4％vs 11.1％,P=0.035;85.7％vs 22.2％,P=0.041).Multivariate logistic regres-sionanalysis showed that transmural enhancement(OR=5.000,95％CI:0.150-166.589,P=0.368)and myocardial medium enhancement(OR=7.000,95％CI:0.217-226.005,P=0.272)were not independent factors influencing VA occurrence.ROC curve analysis indicated that the combined prediction of transmural enhancement and myocardial media enhancement and the pre-diction of transmural enhancement alone had better diagnostic efficacy(P＜0.05).Conclusion LEG has clinical value in predicting postoperative VA events in patients after ICD implantation.

Objective To study the expression of PLA2G2A and its significance in vaginal wall tissue of patients with pelvic organ pro-lapse(POP).Methods Twenty-three patients without POP(control group)and 26 patients with POP(POP group)admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,between June 2023 and September 2024,were selected.Histological features were observed using hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining.Localization of PLA2G2A was detected using immunofluorescence.The PLA2G2A expression level was assessed using immunohistochemistry,real-time PCR,and Western blotting.After transfecting fibroblasts with silenced PLA2G2A,changes in collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ were measured.Results The histological structure of the vaginal wall in the POP group was significantly different from that in the control group.PLA2G2A was expressed in fibroblasts,with protein and mRNA expression levels higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After silencing PLA2G2A,collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ expression were upregulated.Conclusion High expression of PLA2G2A in vaginal wall tissue of patients with POP.Increased PLA2G2A expression may be closely related to the development and presence of POP.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of transperineal prostate laser ablation(TPLA)and transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods A total of 60 BPH patients diagnosed during Oct.2021 and Oct.2022 at Tangdu Hospital were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into the TPLA group(n=30)and TURP group(n=30).The intraoperative bleeding volume,operation time,catheter indwelling time,length of hospital stay,postoperative sexual dysfunction,and surgical related complications were compared between the two groups.The international prostate symptom score(IPSS),international index of erectile function-5(IIEF-5),maximum urinary flow rate(Qmax),quality of life score(QoL),postvoid residual(PVR)and prostate volume(PV)were compared between the two groups before surgery and 1,3,and 12 months after surgery.Results The TPLA group had significantly less intraoperative bleeding volume,shorter operation time and length of hospital stay compared to the TURP group,but longer catheter indwelling time(P＜0.05).Both groups showed significant improvement in IPSS and Qmax 1,3,and 12 months postoperatively compared to preoperative(P＜0.05),the IPSS of the TPLA group was significantly higher than that of the TURP group 1 and 3 months after surgery(P＜0.05);the Qmax of TPLA group 1,3,and 12 months after surgery was lower than that of the TURP group(P＜0.05).The IIEF-5 score was significantly better in the TPLA group than in the TURP group after surgery(P＜0.05).The postoperative QoL,PV,and PVR levels in both groups improved after surgery(P＜0.05),the QoL of the TPLA group was lower than that of the TURP group 1 and 12 months after surgery(P＜0.05),the PV and PVR of the TPLA group were higher than those of the TURP group 1,3,and 12 months after surgery(P＜0.05).The incidence of surgery-related complications(3.33％vs.26.67％)and postoperative sexual dysfunction(3.33％vs.36.67％)in the TPLA group were lower than those in the TURP group(P＜0.05).Conclusion TPLA shows significant efficacy in treating BPH with minimal impact on the sexual function.It provides a new approach for BPH patients and can serve as an effective complementary method in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the potential factors influencing the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and develop an efficient and accurate predictive model. Methods Clinical data of AMI patients treated in the emergency department of Jining Medical University Affiliated Hospital between January and December 2020 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of in-hospital MACE,the MACE group and the non-MACE group. Clinical indicators of the two groups were compared,and statistically significant variables were selected for inclusion in a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Based on this analysis,a nomogram model was constructed to predict the risk of in-hospital MACE in AMI patients after PCI. The model's predictive accuracy was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,and the goodness of fit was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. Results A total of 583 patients were included after screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria,of whom 85 (14.58％) experienced in-hospital MACE. Univariate analysis showed that compared to the non-MACE group,the MACE group had higher values for age,Killip classification,myoglobin (MYO),brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),white blood cell count (WBC),prothrombin time (PT),T-wave changes on electrocardiogram (ECG),abnormal wall motion on echocardiography,ischemia duration greater than 6 hours,the number of MACE before PCI,and left anterior descending artery stenosis. In contrast,the number of patients with a history of oral antiplatelet medication use,coronary artery disease (CAD),family history of CAD,admission systolic blood pressure,and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were lower in the MACE group. Multivariate analysis indicated that Killip classification,BNP,ischemia duration greater than 6 hours,and MACE before PCI were independent risk factors for in-hospital MACE in AMI patients after PCI,while pre-onset use of antiplatelet medications and LVEF were independent protective factors. The nomogram model constructed based on independent risk factors demonstrated good predictive ability,with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.817,a sensitivity of 81.48％,and a specificity of 67.66％. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test confirmed the model's good fit (x2=1.937,P=0.983). Conclusion The nomogram model developed in this study effectively assesses the risk of in-hospital MACE in AMI patients after PCI,providing a valuable tool for predicting patient outcomes post-PCI.

Objective To analyze the impact of controlled hypotension (CH) by cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) monitoring on brain protection and cognitive function in anesthetized patients. Methods A total of 200 patients undergoing rSO₂-monitored CH were enrolled. Patients were divided into normal group (n=137) and postoperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) group (n=63) based on whether they developed PND after surgery. Preoperative clinical data were collected. Univariate analysis was performed to identify factors influencing the occurrence of PND in rSO₂-monitored CH patients. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen for independent risk factors. A predictive model was constructed based on the identified independent risk factors, and its predictive value was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Age, intraoperative blood loss, vascular surgery, 20-minute rSO₂ monitoring values, 20-minute central venous pressure (CVP), history of hypertension, stroke and operative time were identified as factors affecting the occurrence of PND in rSO₂-monitored CH patients (P < 0.05). Independent risk factors for PND included age >55 years, high CVP during 20 minutes of surgery, low rSO₂ monitoring values during 20 minutes and undergoing vascular surgery (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for the predictive model was 0.855. Conclusion Clinically, the risk of PND in rSO₂-monitored CH patients (age >55 years, undergoing vascular surgery) can be reduced by controlling intraoperative CVP to minimize blood loss and by timely adjustment of treatment plans based on rSO₂ monitoring results.

Objective:We aimed to assess the effects of outdoor time in preventing incident myopia among primary school students and evaluate its differences among different grades to provide evidence for policy formulation related to myopia prevention.Methods:This study is a cohort study. We investigated 6 046 grade 1 to 5 students in 9 provinces, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian, Shanxi, Henan, Hunan, Gansu, Chongqing, and Guangxi. In 2019, we measured their myopia on site. In 2020, we did a follow-up visit on those students to detect the myopia incidence rate. Information regarding outdoor time and myopia-related behaviors were obtained from a questionnaire within one week of visual acuity measurement in 2020. The chi-square test and Cochran-Armitage trend test compared the differences between groups. The Cox proportional hazards risk model was used to test the relationship between outdoor time and myopia.Results:In 2020, the overall myopia incidence rate of grade 1 to 5 students in the baseline was 27.5%; while 23.0% in grades 1 and 2 students and 31.7% in grades 3 to 5 students, respectively. After controlling for covariates, for students in grade 1 to 2, those with ≥1 hour of outdoor time per day were at 0.76 (95% CI: 0.62-0.93, P=0.008) times risk of being myopia than that of students with <1 hour of outdoor time per day; while for students in grades 3 to 5, an average of ≥3 hours of outdoor time per day was required to have a significant protective effect on myopia. The students with ≥3 hours of outdoor time per day were less likely to be myopia ( OR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.61-0.93, P=0.007) than those students with <3 hours of outdoor time per day. Conclusions:For grade 1 and 2 students, 1 hour of outdoor time per day could reduce the incidence of myopia, whereas for grade 3 to 5 students, 3 hours of outdoor time per day could effectively reduce the incidence of myopia. Therefore, the recommendations for outdoor time as myopia prevention should be different for different grades. The higher the grade is, the more outdoor time should be spent to reduce myopia incidence. Moreover, other factors that affect myopia's incidence should be also paid attention to, and a comprehensive approach should be adopted to prevent and control the incidence of myopia.

In this study, ivabradine hydrochloride (IVB) was prepared as elementary osmotic pump tablets whose administration frequency was reduced to once daily. The dissolution method was developed, and effects on drug release profiles were evaluated by single factor analysis involving suspending agents, osmotic active agents and aging process. Orthogonal test was carried out at 3 levels on 3 factors including the amount of polyoxyethylene (PEO) in the core, polyethylene glycol (PEG) percentage and weight increase of controlled-release film coatings. The final formulation consisted of IVB (16.25 mg), PEO N80 (60 mg), hypromellose E5 (10 mg), lactose (111.75 mg), magnesium stearate (2 mg); and the film coatings consisted of PEG (15%), cellulose acetate (85%), with a weight increase of 7.5%. In vitro drug release behaviors were investigated. Prepared tablets exhibited similar release profiles in different pH dissolution media, with no risk of dose dumping in 40% ethanol solutions. The osmotic pressure differences inside and outside the membrane drove drug release. IVB osmotic pump tablets could reduce the frequency of administration and improve patients'' compliance, thus with better application values.
