Objective To explore the current status and influencing factors of heart failure occurrence in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and to provide a scientific basis for developing individualized prevention and treatment strategies. Methods A total of 310 patients with UAP admitted to the Fifth People's Hospital from October 2021 to October 2024 were selected as study subjects. The current status of the patients' heart failure was statistically analyzed, and the patients were divided into heart failure group and non-heart failure group according to whether they had heart failure. Univariate and logistic multivariate regression analyses were used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of heart failure in patients with UAP. Results Among the 310 patients with UAP, 63 cases had heart failure, with an incidence rate of 20.32%. After logistic multivariate analysis, it was found that diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, number of coronary artery lesions, homocysteine and plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels were risk factors of heart failure in patients with UAP, and hemoglobin level was a protective factor (OR: 2.010, 95%CI: 1.063-3.800; OR: 4.495, 95%CI: 2.228-9.067; OR: 2.408, 95%CI: 1.256-4.617; OR: 3.655, 95%CI: 1.812-7.372; OR: 4.693, 95%CI: 2.622-8.399; OR: 0.359, 95%CI: 0.205-0.628, P<0.05). Conclusion The coronary heart disease risk of heart failure is high in patients with UAP, and is affected by comorbidities, number of coronary artery lesions, homocysteine, and plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels. It is necessary to perform clinical screening and pay attention to such patients, and take active prevention and control interventions.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a relatively rare but complex congenital heart disease characterized by the anomalous drainage of the pulmonary veins. Rather than connecting to the left atrium, the pulmonary veins drain either directly or indirectly into the systemic venous circulation or the right atrium via abnormal pathways. While there is broad consensus on the diagnostic criteria for TAPVC, significant debate persists regarding the optimal timing of surgical intervention, preferred surgical techniques, and postoperative management including re-intervention strategies. This article formulates a Chinese consensus based on evidence-based data from the literature and opinions from domestic experts, with the goal of further standardizing the surgical treatment of TAPVC in China.

Objective To evaluate the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP and CBM databases from January 1, 2010 to October 1, 2022 were searched by computer for the randomized controlled trial (RCT) about the intervention of EECP in patients with heart failure. Two researchers independently screened literature and extracted data. The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3. Results Nineteen RCTs were included. After EECP treatment, 6-minute walk distance (MD=57.37, 95%CI 40.89 to 70.85, P<0.001) and left ventricular ejection fraction improved (SMD=0.85, 95%CI 0.55 to 1.14, P<0.001). B-type natriuretic peptide decreased significantly (SMD=−0.67, 95%CI −1.09 to −0.25, P=0.002). The left ventricular end diastolic diameter (MD=−7.77, 95%CI −11.49 to −4.04, P<0.001), and the left ventricular end systolic diameter were significantly reduced (MD=−8.53, 95%CI −13.47 to −3.60, P<0.001). The quality of life of patients was improved (MD=16.34, 95%CI 0.59 to 32.10, P=0.04). Conclusion EECP can improve the exercise ability and the quality of life in patients with heart failure. However, more and larger well-designed RCTs are still needed to verify this conclusion.

Rare diseases still lack effective treatments, and the development of drugs for rare diseases (known as orphan drugs) is an urgent medical problem. As natural active ingredients in living organisms, some biomacromolecule drugs have good biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and high targeting. They have become one of the most promising fields in drug research and development in the 21st century. However, there are still many obstacles in terms of in vivo delivery. In view of the unique advantages of nanocarriers prepared from polymers, lipids, organic biomimetic and inorganic materials in drug delivery, researchers are committed to building an efficient delivery system with versatility and synergy to solve the bottleneck issues in treating rare diseases with biomacromolecule drugs. Therefore, this article reviews the research progress of nanocarrier delivering proteins, peptides and nucleic acids in the field of rare disease treatment in the past ten years, which provides ideas for researches on biomacromolecule drug nanosystems in the field of treatment of rare diseases.

Patient-reported outcome (PRO) has been paid increasing attention in lung cancer surgery. It has gradually become an important outcome indicator in clinical research of lung cancer surgery and an important tool for symptom management. Commonly used lung cancer-specific PRO measurement tools include: Lung Cancer Symptom Scale, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Core Quality of Life Questionnaire and Lung Cancer module, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung, MD Anderson Symptom Inventory-Lung Cancer module, Postoperative Symptom Scale for Lung Cancer Patients, and Perioperative Symptom Assessment for Lung Surgery. The application of lung cancer-specific scales lacks authoritative implementation norms in the field of lung cancer surgery in terms of scale selection, data collection, and outcome application. This review aimed to analyze the current status of application of PRO scales in lung cancer surgery.

【Objective】 To analyze the clinical characteristics of serum vitamin K2 in children and its correlation with bone mineral density, so as to provide reference for the prevention of insufficient bone strength in children. 【Methods】 A total of 4 145 children who underwent serum vitamin K2 testing and physical examination at pediatric outpatient clinics of several municipal and county hospitals in Chongqing from January 2020 to March 2023 were retrospectively selected into this study for serum vitamin K2-related analysis.Further 844 school-age children who completed serum 25-(OH)D and lumbar bone densitometry measurements were screened to analyze the correlation between vitamin K2level and bone mineral density 【Results】 The overall serum vitamin K2 deficiency rate was 61.6% (2 553/4 145), and the difference in serum vitamin K2 deficiency rate between different age groups was statistically significant (χ²=39.364, P<0.05).The vitamin K2 level of children was significantly influenced by season and maternal education level (χ²=45.310,9.990, P<0.05).There were significant differences in age (Z=3.416), gender (χ²=9.218) and serum vitamin K2 deficiency rate (χ²=5.826) between normal bone mass development group and insufficient bone mass development group (P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that vitamin K2 deficiency was an independent risk factor for insufficient bone mass development in school-age children (OR=1.37,95%CI:1.03 - 1.83, P=0.030). 【Conclusions】 There is a higher serum vitamin K2 deficiency rate among children, especially infants and school-age children.Decreased bone mineral density in school-age children may be associated with serum vitamin K2 deficiency.

Objective To explore the nursing effect of PDCA circulation nursing model based on health concept on patients with valvular heart disease.Methods A total of 116 patients with valvular heart disease hospitalized in Jinhua People's Hospital from December 2018 to December 2021 were selected as study objects.According to random number table method,the included patients were divided into control group and observation group,with 58 cases in each group.The patients in control group received routine nursing intervention,while the patients in observation group received PDCA circulation nursing intervention.The quality of life,self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)score,self-rating depression scale(SDS)score,complications and nursing satisfaction of two groups were compared.Results After nursing,the scores of physical function,psychological function,social function and overall quality of life in two groups were significantly higher than those before nursing(P<0.05),and the scores of above indexes of patients in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05).After nursing,SAS and SDS scores of two groups were significantly lower than those before nursing(P<0.05),and SAS and SDS scores of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group(P<0.05).The complication rate of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group(χ2=4.668,P=0.003).There was no significant difference in nursing satisfaction between two groups(χ2=2.511,P=0.113).Conclusion Patients with valvular heart disease can improve their quality of life,relieve anxiety and depression,and reduce complications by using PDCA circulation nursing model based on health concept.

Objective Loop mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)was used to detect the distribution of pathogens in sputum samples,namely combined nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens(13 pairs),so as to provide provide reference for clinical accurate diagnosis and treatment.Methods A total of 1642 patients with lower respiratory tract infection admitted to Tongren City People's Hospital from January to December in 2022 were selected.Each patient collected sputum specimens/bronchoalveolar for detection by using LAMP(13 pairs).The detection of pathogenic bacteria in respiratory tract and the relationship with sex,age and season were analyzed.Results The overall detection rate of 13 respiratory pathogens was significantly higher in males than in females(P<0.01);In different age groups,the detection rates of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae in patients aged 3-6,Mycoplasma pneumoniae in patients aged 6-18,and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus maltophilus,and Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients aged over 60 were significantly higher than those in other groups(P<0.05);In different seasonal groups,Streptococcus pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae were more prevalent in spring,while Mycoplasma pneumoniae had the highest infection rate in autumn,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion LAMP can be used to detect the pathogen rapidly and provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Esophageal cancer is a highly prevalent tumor species in Henan province, which brings heavy medical burden to families and society. Surgical treatment plays a dominant role in the treatment of non-advanced esophageal cancer. However, cancer cells in esophageal cancer lesions are highly invasive, postoperative recurrence and metastasis rates are pretty high. More effective systemic and comprehensive treatment is urgently needed to improve the prognosis. We invited 52 doctors in esophageal surgery, oncology, pathology, imaging, and radiation therapy of 32 hospitals at all levels in Henan province, to repeatedly negotiate and fully discuss in combination with evidence and clinical practice experience. Finally, “diagnosis and treatment pathway of neoadjuvant immunotherapy for esophageal cancer in Henan province” was formulated. In this treatment pathway, seven recommendations were proposed from seven perspectives including target population, patient evaluation, protocol selection, surgical timing, postoperative management, organ preservation, and general principles to offer reference for medical personnel related to esophageal cancer surgery.

Since the implementation of the Measures for the Management of Radiation Workers’ Occupational Health in November 2007, it has played an extremely important role in protecting the occupational health of radiation workers. There are more than 700 000 radiation workers in about 100 000 workplaces with potential radiation exposure, as well as a large number of miners exposed to high levels of radon. As the radiation health monitoring project suggests, measures of occupational health management such as personal dose monitoring and occupational health examination of radiation workers have been widely implemented and achieved good results in the protection of radiation workers. However, the risks of chromosomal aberration and specific turbidity of the eye lens of radiation workers have increased in high-risk positions such as interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and industrial flaw detection. The control of high radon exposure in miners needs to be strengthened. It is necessary to adapt to the new situation in view of new challenges and actively promote the revision of the Measures for the Management of Radiation Workers’ Occupational Health, so as to further improve the occupational health management of radiation workers in China.
