Background:
This study was performed to characterize the incidence, costs, and risk factors associated with renal and cardiovascular adverse outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods:
Patients with STEMI who underwent pPCI using iso-osmolar contrast were enrolled at 39 centers. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and major adverse renal and cardiovascular events (MARCE) was analyzed, as well as inpatient costs. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors.
Results:
Among 2,293 patients, the incidence of AKI and MARCE within 72 hours post-pPCI was 4.14% (n = 95) and 4.40% (n = 101), respectively. AKI and/or MARCE were associated with systolic blood pressure (AKI: odds ratio [OR], 1.009; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.000–1.018), hypertension (AKI: OR, 1.815; 95% CI, 1.133–2.906; MARCE: OR, 1.760;95% CI, 1.118–2.769), anterior wall infarction (AKI: OR, 1.895; 95% CI, 1.196–3.004; MARCE:OR, 1.939; 95% CI, 1.240–3.032), Killip class (AKI: OR, 1.465; 95% CI, 1.117–1.922; MARCE:OR, 1.467; 95% CI, 1.131–1.903), and serum creatinine (SCr; MARCE: OR, 1.006; 95% CI, 1.000–1.012). Hospitalization costs for patients with STEMI who developed AKI or MARCE were significantly higher than for those without AKI (9,595 ± 5,795 vs. 8,279 ± 3,872 USD, P = 0.003) or without MARCE (9,890 ± 5,616 vs. 8,255 ± 3,859 USD, P < 0.001).
Conclusions
In patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI with iso-osmolar contrast, the incidence of AKI and MARCE was associated with higher hospitalization costs. Systolic blood pressure, hypertension, anterior wall infarction, Killip class, and SCr were identified as risk factors for these outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of open anterior myofascial repair surgery on abdominal wall incision hernia.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 188 patients who underwent open anterior myofascial repair surgery on abdo-minal wall incision hernia at three medical centers, including Xiangya Hospital of Central South University et al, from December 2016 to December 2024 were collected. There were 85 males and 103 females, aged (62±12)years. Of the 188 patients, 55 cases had large incisional hernia and 133 cases had non-large incisional hernia. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative conditions; (2) postopera-tive conditions; (3) follow-up. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the nonparametic test. Results:(1) Intra-operative conditions. The operation time of the 55 patients with large incisional hernia was (145±40)minutes, and the volume of intraoperative blood loss was 40.0(22.5,55.0)mL, cases with fascial defect located in the central anterior abdominal wall, the superolateral quadrant, the inferolateral quadrant were 26, 7, 22, the fascial defect area was 140(99,169)cm2, cases used with self-fixating mesh and flat mesh were 29, 26. The above indicators of the 133 patients with non-large incisional hernia were (124±34)minutes, 35.0(30.0,45.0)mL, 47, 26, 60, 25(12,40)cm2, 67, 66, respectively. There were significant differences in operation time and fascial defect area between patients with large incisional hernia and non-large incisional hernia ( t=-3.651, Z=-10.339, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the volume of intraoperative blood loss, defect quadrant distribution, and mesh type ( Z=-0.501, χ2=2.692, 0.086, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative conditions. Of the 55 patients with large incisional hernia, 7 cases developed postoperative seroma, including 5 cases combined with concomitant surgical-site infection, and 4 additional cases developed with surgical-site infection. Of the 133 patients with non-large incisional hernia, 15 cases developed postoperative seroma, including 3 cases combined with concomitant surgical-site infection. There was a significant difference in surgical-site infection between patients with large incisional hernia and non-large incisional hernia ( χ2=10.707, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in postoperative seroma ( χ2=0.079, P>0.05). The duration of postoperative hospital stay was 7(6, 9)days for the 55 patients with large incisional hernia and 5(4, 6)days for the 133 patients with non-large incisional hernia, showing a significant difference between them ( Z=-6.292, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up. All 188 patients were followed up for 43(range, 29-67)months. During the follow-up, 9 patients experienced hernia recurrence, including 7 patients with large incisional hernia and 2 patients with non-large incisional hernia. For the 7 patients of large incisional hernia with hernia recurrence, 4 cases underwent reoperation and 3 cases received conservative treatment. All 2 patients of non-large incisional hernia with hernia recurrence received conservative treatment. There was no significant difference in hernia recurrence between patients with large incisional hernia and non-large incisional hernia ( χ2=8.432, P<0.05). Results of chronic pain score at postoperative 3 month showed that among 55 patients with large incisional hernia, 40 cases had mild pain, 7 cases had moderate pain, and 8 cases had severe pain. Among 133 patients with non-large incisional hernia, the above indicators were 102, 28, and 3, respectively. There was no significant difference in chronic pain score at postoperative 3 month between patients with large incisional hernia and non-large incisional hernia ( Z=-0.968, P>0.05). Conclusions:Open anterior myofascial repair surgery can be used for the treatment of abdominal wall incision hernia. Compared with non-large incisional hernia, patients with large incisional hernia have longer operation time, are more prone to surgical-site infection, have longer postoperative hospital stay, and are more likely to experience hernia recurrence.

Objective:To optimize the smart follow-up workflow for day-case breast surgery patients using an action research approach and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:A total of 648 post-discharge patients who underwent day-case breast surgery at the Day Surgery Unit of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between February and May 2024 were selected by convenience sampling. Patients who received routine smart follow-up (automated+telephone) from February to March 2024 served as the baseline group. Patients enrolled in April 2024 ( n=218) and May 2024 ( n=202) formed the first and second cycle groups, respectively, in which the smart follow-up workflow was optimized iteratively using action research. Outcome indicators included automated recovery rate and total recovery rate of follow-up forms, as well as the incidence of postoperative discomfort symptoms. Results:The automated and total recovery rates of follow-up forms in the first and second cycle groups were significantly higher than those in the baseline group, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01). The proportion of patients experiencing persistent chest distress was significantly lower in the first and second cycle groups compared to the baseline group, and further reduced in the second cycle group compared to the first, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01). Pain levels in the first and second cycle groups were also significantly lower than those in the baseline group, with statistically significant differences observed ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Optimizing the smart follow-up workflow for day-case breast surgery patients based on an action research approach can significantly improve the automated and overall recovery rates of follow-up forms, reduce postoperative discomfort, and enhance both the efficiency and quality of follow-up care.

Objective:To evaluate the early and mid-term efficacy of physician-modified fenestrated endovascular repair combined with inner branch techniques for aortic pathologies complicated by aberrant subclavian artery (ASA).Methods:A retrospective case series was conducted, including 24 patients with ASA-associated aortic pathologies who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with physician-modified fenestration and inner branch reconstruction at 7 centers in China from February 2021 to March 2025. The cohort comprised 18 males and 6 females, with an age of (54.4±11.7) years (range:37 to 80 years). Pathological diagnoses included aortic aneurysm in 7 patients (29.2%), aortic dissection in 11 (45.8%; 6 chronic, 4 subacute, 1 acute), and penetrating aortic ulcer in 6 (25.0%; 3 with concomitant intramural hematoma). Preoperative planning was performed using three-dimensional CT angiographic reconstruction, incorporating both the greater-curvature hemodynamic length and the centerline wall-adherent length. Fenestration sites were verified on three-dimensional printed models, and precise fenestrations were created at the covered stent-graft locations corresponding to the subclavian artery and ASA anatomy. Patients subsequently underwent TEVAR combined with supra-aortic revascularization as indicated, followed by completion ascending aortography to evaluate the sealing of the main stent-graft and the patency of fenestrated or branched stents. Perioperative outcomes, complications, and early-to mid-term clinical efficacy were analyzed.Results:All procedures were technically successful. Immediate angiography identified one case of minor type Ⅳ endoleak that resolved spontaneously on 3-month follow-up CT angiography, and one case of mild type Ⅱ endoleak that was left untreated with a stable false lumen during follow-up. One patient died on postoperative day 7 of an undetermined cause. The mean follow-up period was (23.1±11.3)months (range:3 to 37 months). During follow-up, one patient developed mild bilateral lower-limb weakness 1 month after surgery. Vascular occlusion and spinal cord infarction were excluded, and the symptoms were considered related to postoperative spinal hemodynamic changes; the weakness resolved after blood pressure adjustment without recurrence. No other complications, including upper limb ischemia, spinal cord ischemia, or posterior circulation ischemia, were observed. Throughout follow-up, all branch and main stents remained patent with good structural integrity, without migration or device-related complications.Conclusions:Physician-modified fenestration combined with inner branch techniques for ASA-associated aortic pathologies is technically feasible and yields satisfactory early and mid-term results. Long-term outcomes require further follow-up.

AIM:To investigate the effects of total flavonoids of Pterocarya hupehensis Skan(PHSTF)on dex-tran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis(UC)mouse model and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.METHODS:Thirty-six male C57BL/6J mice(6 to 8 weeks old,SPF grade)were randomly di-vided into 6 groups:negative control(NC)group,3%DSS-induced model group,mesalazine(300 mg·kg-1·d-1)group,and low-dose(62.5 mg·kg-1·d-1),medium-dose(125 mg·kg-1·d-1)and high-dose(250 mg·kg-1·d-1)PHSTF treatment groups,with 6 mice in each group.The mice in NC group received distilled water,while those in other groups were treated with a 3%DSS solution for 7 d to induce the UC model.On the 1st day of DSS administration,the mice in treatment groups received the corresponding agents via oral gavage for 10 d,while those in NC and model groups were gavaged with distilled water.Throughout the study,the effects of PHSTF on body weight,fecal blood,and colon length were measured and recorded daily.Histopathological changes in colon tissues were assessed using hematoxylin-eosin staining.The levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in colon tissues were quantified using ELISA.The LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage model was employed to evaluate the cellular effects of PHSTF.Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay,and cell morphology was observed under a microscope.The mRNA expression of inflammatory markers[IL-1β,inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),IL-10 and arginase-1(Arg-1)]was measured by RT-qPCR.Western blot and immunofluorescence double labeling were used to detect the protein expression of macrophage polarization markers(iNOS,CD206 and Arg-1).Finally,immunohistochemistry(IHC)was utilized to as-sess protein expression of iNOS in colon tissues.RESULTS:Compared to the DSS-induced UC model group,PHSTF sig-nificantly improved several parameters,including weight loss(P<0.05),rectal bleeding,and colon shortening in DSS-treated mice.PHSTF also reduced histopathological damage and inflammatory cell infiltration in the colon.It decreased IL-1β levels(P<0.05)and increased IL-10 levels(P<0.05)in colon tissues.In LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells,PHSTF reduced the mRNA expression of IL-1β and iNOS(P<0.01),while upregulating the mRNA expression of IL-10 and Arg-1(P<0.01).Additionally,PHSTF decreased iNOS protein expression(P<0.01)and elevated the expression of Arg-1 and CD206 proteins(P<0.01).IHC analysis further confirmed that PHSTF downregulated iNOS protein expression in colon tissues.CONCLUSION:Treatment with PHSTF promotes the polarization of macrophages from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype,thereby alleviating inflammation in colon tissue and ameliorating ulcer-ative colitis in mice.

[Objective] To investigate the protective effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza injection (SMI) on the kidneys of HBOC-CHP01 resuscitated haemorrhagic shock rats. [Methods] A 50% haemorrhagic shock rat model was established, with 12 rats divided into two groups: SMI + HBOC-CHP01 group and HBOC-CHP01 group, with 6 rats in each group. The rats in the SMI+ HBOC-CHP01 group were given an equal volume of HBOC-CHP01 for resuscitation after haemorrhagic shock, and an 8 mL/kg dose of SMI. Rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group were resuscitated by administering an equilibrium blood loss volume of HBOC-CHP01 and given an 8 mL/kg dose of 0.9% NaCl solution. Blood was taken from rats at five points: before bloodletting (baseline), during haemorrhagic shock (HS), immediately after resuscitation (RS0h), 1 h after resuscitation (RS1h), and 24 h after resuscitation (RS24h). A blood gas analyser was used to detect the lactate level (Lac), glucose content (Glu), residual base (BEecf), pH, bicarbonate (HCO3-), high iron haemoglobin (MetHb). White blood cells (WBC), platelets (PLT), haemoglobin content (Hb), carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) were detected using a quintuple classification. Blood creatinine (SCr), uric acid (UA), kidney-related indexes were detected using biochemistry instrument. Kidney tissues of the rats were taken after 24 h of resuscitation and after execution, and the inflammation of kidneys of the rats of the two groups was analyzed using HE staining. Fluorescence staining was used to detect the level of ROS in the kidneys of rats in both groups. [Results] At RS 0h, the Beecf, Glu and Lac levels of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group were significantly lower than those of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group, and the pH level of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group was significantly higher than that of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group, and the Glu levels of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group were significantly lower than those of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group at RS 1h. At RS 0h, the WBC, PLT and COHb contents of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group were all significantly higher than those of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group, and at RS 1h, the WBC content of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group was significantly higher than that of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group; at RS 1h, the UA content of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group was significantly lower than that of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group; at RS 24h, the SCr content of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group was significantly lower than that of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group; at RS 24h, the inflammation level of kidney tissues of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group was significantly lower than that of rats in the HBOC -CHP01 group rats, and the ROS and MPO levels in the kidney tissues of rats in the SMI+HBOC-CHP01 group were significantly lower than those of rats in the HBOC-CHP01 group. [Conclusion] The combination of Salvia miltiorrhiza injection during the resuscitation of rats with severe haemorrhagic shock by HBOC-CHP01 can alleviate renal injury by reducing inflammatory response and oxidative stress.
