In recent years, the prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease has continued to rise. Despite the widespread application of strategies such as intensive pharmacotherapy, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention, a subset of patients still experience recurrent angina symptoms, which severely impacts their quality of life. For such cases of refractory angina (RA), researchers domestically and internationally have explored therapeutic approaches such as spinal cord stimulation, transmyocardial laser revascularization, and sympathectomy. However, existing studies are largely limited to small-scale clinical trials, and their clinical translation still faces challenges due to insufficient validation of safety and efficacy. Injectable hydrogels, as functional materials with hydrophilic three-dimensional network structures, demonstrate unique advantages in the treatment of RA. They can not only provide mechanical support but also serve as controlled-release carriers for drugs and proteins, and synergize with gene therapy and stem cell therapy to promotemyocardial tissue repair. This article systematically reviews the application prospects of injectable hydrogels in the treatment of RA, aiming to provide insights for future therapeutic strategies.

Objective To investigate necroptosis-related diagnostic biomarkers of bronchopulmo-nary dysplasia(BPD)and their relationships with the immune microenvironment through the analysis of necroptosis-related genes(NRGs)in BPD.Methods The dataset GSE32472 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,and NRGs were obtained from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway and Gene Cards databases.Differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes(DE-NRGs)were screened,and their biological functions and pathways were explored through functional enrichment analysis.Machine learning algorithms,inclu-ding least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination(SVM-RFE),were applied to screen feature genes.The Cell-type Ⅰdentification By Estimating Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts(CIBERSORT)algorithm and the Estimation of Stromal and Immune Cells in Malignant Tumor Tissues using Expression Data(ESTIMATE)algo-rithm were used to explore the immune infiltration characteristics of BPD.Spearman correlation anal-ysis between feature genes and immune cells was performed using the"corrplot"package in R lan-guage.Results A total of 19 DE-NRGs were identified.The main biological functions and path-ways of DE-NRGs included the regulation of necroptosis and inflammatory responses.Three feature genes,namely flotillin-2(FLOT2),CASP8 and FADD-like apoptosis regulators(CFLAR),and charged multivesicular body protein 7(CHMP7),were further screened to construct a nomogram.In the validation sets GSE8586 and GSE188944,the area under the curve(AUC)values were all greater than 0.7.CIBERSORT analysis revealed that BPD group presented a higher proportion of naive B cells,neutrophils,eosinophils and resting mast cells compared to control group(P＜0.05).Meanwhile,the proportion of CD8+T cells,CD4+naive T cells,CD4+resting memory T cells,regulatory T cells,resting natural killer(NK)cells,M0 macrophages,M2 macrophages and activated dendritic cells was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).ESTIMATE analysis showed that the stromal score in the BPD group was higher than that in the control group,while the immune score was lower,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis between the three feature genes and ESTIMATE scores indicated that FLOT2 and CFLAR were posi-tively correlated with the stromal score and negatively correlated with the immune score,whereas CHMP7 was positively correlated with the immune score and negatively correlated with the stromal score.Conclusion The three necroptosis-related feature genes can serve as diagnostic biomarkers for BPD-related necroptosis,with high diagnostic efficacy.They may play an important roles through immune mechanisms,providing new insights and theoretical references for the early diagnosis and immune intervention of BPD.

Objective To investigate the electrophysiological characteristics of hamster primary cortical neurons by using the whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in a Mg2+-free cell model of epilepsy.Methods The cerebral cortex were isolated for primary neuron culture from neonatal Syrian hamsters 1-2 days after birth.After 12 days,primary neurons were exposed to normal external(Mg2+group)or Mg2+-free external(Mg2+-free group)respectively for 3 hours,followed by a 24-hour incubation in normal culture medium.Excitatory postsynaptic currents(EPSC)and excitatory postsynaptic potentials(EPSP)were recorded in voltage clamp mode and current clamp mode using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings,respectively.Results Compared to Mg2+group,the frequency of EPSC[(124.38±75.15)Hz vs.(33.93±22.32)Hz,P<0.001](P<0.001)and EPSP[(37.05±38.37)Hz vs.(5.63±9.52)Hz,P<0.01]in primary cortical neurons from the Mg2+-free group increased significantly.Meanwhile,there were no statistically significant differences in the amplitude,area under the curve and half-width of EPSC and EPSP between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The present study demonstrates an increase in excitability of primary hamsters cortical neurons after Mg2+depletion,suggesting that these neurons can be utilized to use to create cell models of epilepsy.

Conclusion:The Ivor-Lewis procedure under uniportal VATS for esophageal cancer and Siewert type I esophago-gastric junction carcinoma has the advantage of less postoperative pain, and the procedure is feasible in clinical practice.

Objective: To describe the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Jinan City according the national and international criteria, as well as to compare the Chinese and international standards, so as to provide basic data for relevant intervention strategies. Methods: From September to December 2021, using the height and weight data obtained from the health checkup reports of 746 985 primary and secondary school students in Jinan City in 2021, body mass index(BMI) was calculated to evaluate the current status of the prevalence of overweight and obesity among this sample of children and adolescents aged 6- 18 years old. The consistency of the Chinese standard, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) standard, International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) standard, and World Health Organization (WHO) standard was compared by calculating the weighted Kappa value. Results: Based on the Chinese, U.S. CDC, IOTF and WHO standards, the overweight rates of children and adolescents aged 6-18 years in Jinan were 17.3%, 16.5%, 21.1% and 13.6%, respectively, and the obesity rates were 23.1%, 19.5%, 13.5% and 6.6%, respectively. The overweight and obesity rates of boys were higher than those of girls under the four criteria (China: χ 2=1 418.48, 9 868.51, U.S. CDC: χ 2=145.78, 23 211.41, IOTF: χ 2=1 326.94, 13 615.62, WHO: χ 2=873.13, 46.41, P <0.01).The overweight rate of adolescents in the 13-18 year-old age group was higher than that of children aged 6-12 years (China: χ 2=29.13, U.S. CDC: χ 2=6.43, IOTF: χ 2=15.87, WHO: χ 2=19.48, P <0.01) and the obesity rate of the group aged 6-10 years was significantly higher than that of the group aged 11-18 years (China: χ 2=217.02, U.S. CDC: χ 2=227.54, IOTF: χ 2=171.91, WHO: χ 2=165.91, P <0.01). The rates of overweight and obesity in urban children and adolescents were slightly higher than those in rural children and adolescents (China: χ 2=25.06, 245.12, U.S. CDC: χ 2=56.13, 205.93, IOTF: χ 2= 182.34 , 22.04, WHO: χ 2=200.88, 21.61, P <0.01). The Chinese standard showed good agreement with the IOTF standard and U.S. CDC standard, with weighted Kappa values of 0.72 and 0.83, but poor agreement with the WHO standard, with a weighted Kappa value of 0.33. Conclusion The current prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Jinan is serious. The Chinese standard has good consistency with IOTF standard and American CDC standard, and poor consistency with WHO standard.

Objective To study von Willebrand factor(VWF) damage based on a novel Maglev Taylor-Couette blood-shearing device. Methods The magnetic levitation (maglev) Taylor-Couette blood-shearing device was designed, and the blood-shearing platform was built. Fresh porcine blood was tested in circulation loop for 1 hour at laminar flow state. VWF damage was assessed by analyzing sample through Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results With the increase of exposure time and shear stress, a large number of high molecular weight VWF multimers were degraded into low molecular weight VWF. The maximum rate of degradation was 569%. When the shear stress increased from 18 Pa to 55 Pa, the ratio of VWF-Rco to VWF-Ag decreased from 45.7% to 32.8%. ConclusionsCompared with initial sample, the VWF damage was mainly manifested by the decrease of high molecular weight VWF and the decrease of VWF activity, and VWF-Ag did not change significantly. The novel maglev Taylor-Couette blood-shearing device can quantitatively control the flow parameters (exposure time and shear stress), and be used for blood damage research in vitro, thus providing references for the design and optimization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and blood pump.

Objective:To explore the application of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) in low-energy X-ray intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), analyze its potential risks in IORT, and preliminarily explore the feasibility of FMEA in optimizing IORT management and reducing the occurrence of potential risks.Methods:An FMEA working group was established by the IORT team (1 radiologist, 1 radiology physicist, 2 surgeons, and 2 nurses) to apply the FMEA methodology to conduct a systematic risk assessment. The process modules were established, the potential failure modes and causes for each module were analyzed, the severity (SR), frequency of occurrence (OR) and likelihood of detection (DR) of failure modes were scored and the risk priority number (RPN) was calculated: RPN= SR × OR × DR. The possible errors and potential clinical impact of each part of the radiotherapy process were prospectively analyzed and understood, the causes and current measures were analyzed for each failure mode and preventive measures were proposed and risk management measures were taken accordingly.Results:The IORT process was divided into 8 modules with 14 failure modes. The highest OR value was unsatisfactory target area confirmation (7 points), the highest SR value was equipment failure to discharge the beam (10 points), the highest DR value was wrong key entry after dose calculation (7 points), the highest RPN values were unsatisfactory target area confirmation (210 points) and ineffective protection of endangered organs (180 points). Weaknesses were corrected according to priorities, workflows were optimized and more effective management methods were developed.Conclusion:FMEA is an effective method of IORT management and contributes to reducing the occurrence of potential risks.

Early recognition and treatment for early warning electrocardiogram (ECG) of sudden death are very important to prevent and treat malignant arrhythmia and sudden death. Previous studies have found that R-on-T and T wave alternation, and QT interval prolongation are closely related to malignant arrhythmia or sudden death, which are included in the critical value of ECG.By analyzing the ECG characteristics of 4 patients with sudden death, we found that although the causes of the patients were different, there were transient prolongation of QT interval after premature contraction in 12 lead ECG, followed by malignant arrhythmia or sudden death. Thus, we thought that the transient prolongation of QT interval after premature contraction had a high value for warning malignant arrhythmia or sudden death. This phenomenon should be paid enough attention to reduce the risk of sudden death.
