Myocardial infarction （MI） and osteoporosis （OP）， as two prevalent metabolic diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates， are respectively characterized by cardiovascular system dysfunction and bone homeostasis imbalance， collectively posing significant global public health challenges. While clinically often considered as independent diseases， recent studies have revealed shared pathological mechanisms between the two. This study initiated its exploration from the traditional Chinese medicine concept of the "heart-bone" axis， systematically analyzing the correlation between MI and OP from perspectives including hemodynamics， neuroendocrinology， calcium homeostasis， inflammation and vascular injury， as well as hormone levels. By discussing the pathological mechanisms of "heart disease affecting the bones and bone disease affecting the heart"， the study also elucidated advancements in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine treatments. The goal is to provide novel insights and methodologies for the prevention and treatment of "heart-bone comorbidities"， thereby facilitating comprehensive management of cardiovascular and skeletal diseases.

Objective To investigate the association between dietary patterns and adolescent development in girls in Pudong New Area，Shanghai. Methods Using a stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 998 girls were selected from the cohort of growth, development, and health of children and adolescents in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Physical development examinations and dietary surveys were conducted on these girls. Principal component analysis was used to determine girls' dietary patterns, and their relationship with adolescent development was analyzed using logistic regression. Results Among the 998 participants, 770 (77.15%) were pubertal girls. The factor analysis identified three dietary patterns, fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern, meat-vegetables and fruits-cereals pattern, and milk-eggs pattern. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, waist circumference, residential district, mother's education level, and father's education level, the Q2 level (OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.30-0.99), Q3 level (OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.27-0.91), and Q4 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.90) of the fungi and algae-nuts-legumes pattern were negatively correlated with adolescent development. The Q2 level (OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.27-0.87) and Q3 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.27-0.88) of the milk-eggs pattern were also negatively correlated with adolescent development. Conclusion The fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern and milk-eggs patterns are inversely related to pubertal development.

Objective:This study aims to provide insights into the clinical features of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein-5(MDA5)-positive dermatomyositis (MDA5-DM) patients with fatal outcomes, leveraging pathogenic microbiota metagenomic analysis, to guide the clinical assessment and treatment choices.Methods:From January 2020 to August 2023, deceased patients diagnosed with MDA5-DM were identified at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi ′an Jiaotong University. Clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed using Mann Whitney U test and Fisher ′s exact test to summarize risk factors and treatment assessment for MDA5-DM patients with fatal outcomes. Results:①The proportion of male patients was higher than females among MDA5-DM patients with fatal outcomes, which differed from the incidence pattern, possibly associated with smoking and gender proportions (6/11 vs. 0/7, P=0.037). ②94%(17/18) patients presented initially with elevated ferritin levels [(1 350±942)ng/ml] and CRP [(47±36)mg/L]. ③All patients (18/18) exhibited early involvement of the upper lung lobes, including multiple nodules in 9/18, ground-glass opacities in 5/18, and solitary nodules in 4/18. ④Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was negative in 4/16 cases, with cytomegalovirus and pneumocystis jirovecii being the most commonly detected pathogens in 5/16 cases each. ⑤89%(16/18) of patients continued to have lymphocyte counts persistently <0.5×10 9/L irrespective of treatment. Conclusion:Smoking may have adverse effects on male MDA5 patients. Early involvement of the upper lobe of the lungs is more common in MDA5 antibody positive deaths, and persistent lymphocyte depletion is an important factor in poor response. Enhancing mNGS analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and vigilance towards cytomegalovirusand Pneumocystis jirovecii could provide valuable clinical guidance.

Lung cancer poses a serious threat to global public health security.Chemotherapy,as the main strategy for cancer treatment,faces challenges such as high toxicity and drug resistance.Anticancer peptides have the potential of being developed into new anticancer drugs due to their advantages of broad-spectrum anticancer activity,rapid action,and difficulty in generating drug resistance,but they also face shortcomings such as weak activity and strong toxic side effects.The weakly acidic microenvironment of tumors(pH 6.5-6.8)provides a good idea for the design of anticancer peptides of high-efficiency and low-toxicity.Previously,we designed the acid-sensitive antibacterial peptide pHly-1 using the wolf spider(Lycosa singoriensis)toxin Lycosin-Ⅰ as a template.In this study,we found that pHly-1 also had acid-sensitive anticancer activity.Further alanine scanning analysis of pHly-1 was carried out,and we ob-tained a mutant pHTP-2 with better acid sensitivity,whose IC50(half maximal inhibitory concentration)against A549 cells was 15.68 μmol/L at pH 6.6 and was greater than 100 μmol/L at pH 7.4.At pH 6.6,pHTP-2 could act on various lung cancer cell lines and induce the death of A549 cells by rapid ly-sis;at pH 7.4,500 μmol/L pHTP-2 had weak toxicity to red blood cells(the hemolysis rate was ap-proximately 38％)and primary myocardial cells(the inhibition rate was 49.7％,with P＜0.05).Analy-sis of its charge,particle size,morphology,and secondary structure showed that at pH 6.6,the histidine in the sequence of pHTP-2 was protonated,increasing the positive charge(P＜0.01),decreasing the hy-drated particle size(P＜0.05)and forming an α-helical structure to induce membrane lysis of A549 cells.At pH 7.4,it was deprotonated,the positive charge decreases,a β-sheet structure was formed and self-aggregation occurred,limiting its effect on the A549 cell membrane and showing weak activity.In summary,pHTP-2 could respond to the weakly acidic microenvironment of tumors to exert selective cyto-toxic activity,effectively overcoming the shortcomings of anticancer peptides such as low efficiency and high toxicity.Our findings suggest that it is a high-quality lead molecule for anticancer drugs.

Purpose To explore an automatic detection method for quality control performance indicators of radio frequency coils based on American College of Radiology(ACR)phantom,and verify its accuracy stability and computational efficiency.Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 50 quality control images collected based on ACR phantom in Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University from May 2017 to July 2019.The measurement and calculation methods of signal noise ratio(SNR),percent image uniformity(PIU)and percent signal ghosting(PSG)were used to automatically calculate the above indicators using a self-designed program in Python.A simple linear regression analysis on the automatically calculated SNR,PSG and PIU values compared to the manually measured results was performed,and Bland-Altman analysis was used to calculate the percentage difference to evaluate the consistency and bias between the performance indicators calculated by the two methods.The time consumption of two detection methods was compared to verify their computational complexity and efficiency.Results There was a strong correlation between the performance indicators SNR,PSG and PIU of radio frequency coils measured and calculated automatically and manually(r=0.991 4,0.992 8 and 0.909 8,all P<0.0001).The Bland-Altman results showed that most of the data fall within the 95%confidence interval and were evenly distributed.In terms of computational complexity and efficiency,compared to the complex manual delineation and calculation of 2-3 minutes per case,automatic detection could simultaneously obtain SNR,PSG and PIU values in less than 1 second.Conclusion The automatic and manual measurement methods have good consistency,and the automatic detection method is easy to operate,which is helpful for the daily quality control work and performance monitoring of radio frequency coils.
