BACKGROUND:Mesoporous bioactive glass has great application potential in bone repair due to its excellent biocompatibility and osteoinductive activity.Incorporating therapeutic ions into mesoporous bioactive glass particles can give the material more ideal biological properties.OBJECTIVE:To synthesize copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass and investigate its in vitro angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation properties.METHODS:Mesoporous bioactive glass and copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass were synthesized by microemulsion-assisted sol-gel method.The morphology,structure,composition,and ion release performance of the materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,energy dispersive spectroscopy,and X-ray diffraction.The extracts of mesoporous bioactive glass and copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass were co-cultured with mouse fibroblasts L929.Biocompatibility of the materials was evaluated by live/dead staining and CCK-8 assay.The extracts of the two materials were co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells.The angiogenesis-promoting properties of the materials were evaluated by Transwell assay,scratch assay,and CD31 immunofluorescence staining.The extracts of the two materials were co-cultured with mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.The osteogenic properties of the materials were evaluated by alkaline phosphatase staining(without osteogenic induction solution)and Alizarin red staining(with osteogenic induction solution).RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The characterization results exhibited that both mesoporous bioactive glass and copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass presented a tightly packed granular morphology with similar internal mesoporous structures,and copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass could continuously release copper ions.(2)The live/dead staining and CCK-8 assay results showed that compared with mesoporous bioactive glass,copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass could promote the proliferation of L929 cells and had good biocompatibility.(3)The results of Transwell assay,scratch assay,and CD31 immunofluorescence staining exhibited that compared with mesoporous bioactive glass,copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass could promote the migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and the expression of CD31 protein,and promote angiogenesis.(4)The results of alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining demonstrated that the osteogenic performance of copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass was stronger than that of mesoporous bioactive glass.The results indicate that copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass has excellent biocompatibility and the potential to promote angiogenesis and bone regeneration.

Objective:To evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death (SCD) in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2019.Methods:SCD events recorded by Hangzhou Emergency Center from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019 were reviewed. Demographic and mortality data were recorded, and the distribution patterns of SCD events in terms of date, time, and population with different characteristics were observed. Time series analysis method and a distributed lag nonlinear model based on quasi-Poisson distribution were used to explore the possible nonlinear association between ambient temperature and SCD incidence.Results:A total of 4 744 out-of-hospital sudden death events were recorded by Hangzhou Emergency Center from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019. After excluding non-SCD events and observed events with missing items, 3 743 SCD events were finally included in the study. The survey results showed that the incidence of out-of-hospital SCD in Hangzhou was 96.5 cases per 100 000 person-years. Most of the people who experienced SCD were aged ≥60 years. The incidence in males (2 462 cases, 66%) was significantly higher than that in females (1 281 cases, 34%), and the proportion of events occurring during the day (2 737 cases, 73%) was significantly higher than that at night (1 006 cases, 27%), mainly occurring between 7: 00 and 9: 00. High temperature was associated with an increased risk of SCD. When the average daily temperature was higher than 25.5 ℃, the risk of SCD increased with the further increase of average daily temperature.Conclusions:SCD events mainly occur in the elderly population aged ≥60 years, with a significantly higher incidence in males than in females, and more frequently during the day than at night, mainly between 7: 00 and 9: 00 in the morning. High temperature is closely related to the risk of SCD. It is particularly important to carry out targeted SCD screening and prevention for different populations and implement appropriate prevention strategies for high-risk groups of SCD in high-temperature weather.

Objective:To assess the association between diabetes mellitus and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), and to identify potential contributing factors.Methods:This meta-analysis was an updated version of the original study Diabetes mellitus and the risk of sudden cardiac death： a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies. The original review included all eligible case-control and cohort studies published in PubMed and Embase up to 2017 that investigated the association between diabetes and SCD risk. In this updated study, newly published studies were added, including those available in PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WANFANG MED ONLINE up to December 3, 2023. Search terms included "diabetes""glucose""sudden cardiac death" "cardiac arrest" and their Chinese equivalent. The primary outcome was the risk of SCD, while factors such as country, ethnicity, skin color, follow-up duration, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), baseline comorbidities, and other relevant variables were analyzed as potential influencing factors. Relative risk ( RR) was used as the summary measure. A random-effects model was used when significant heterogeneity was detected, otherwise a fixed-effects model was used. Cochran′s Q test was used for subgroup analysis to assess the influence of factors such as region, baseline diseases, LVEF, and ethnicity (based on skin color) on the outcomes. Results:A total of 32 cohort/case-control studies with a combined sample size of 3 252 954 individuals were included. The meta-analysis showed that the risk of SCD in patients with diabetes was double that of non-diabetics ( RR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.83-2.19, P<0.001). In Asian populations, the risk of SCD in diabetic patients was 1.78 times that of non-diabetic individuals ( RR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.51-2.10), 2.05 times that of in European populations ( RR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.79-2.34), and 2.12 times that of in American populations ( RR=2.12, 95% CI: 1.82-2.47), with no statistically significant heterogeneity between regions ( P=0.287). Among individuals without other baseline comorbidities, the risk of SCD was 2.12 times higher in diabetic patients than in those without diabetes ( RR=2.12, 95% CI: 1.89-2.38). In patients with baseline coronary heart disease, the risk was 1.75 times that of non-diabetics ( RR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.45-2.11). In those with baseline heart failure, the risk was 1.92 times that of non-diabetics ( RR=1.92, 95% CI: 1.51-2.43). In patients with baseline atrial fibrillation, the risk was 4.00 times that of non-diabetic individuals ( RR=4.00, 95% CI: 1.38-11.56). In patients undergoing hemodialysis due to renal failure, the risk was 1.76 times that of non-diabetic individuals ( RR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.25-2.48), with no statistically significant heterogeneity between groups ( P=0.262). In cardiac patients with LVEF>50%, the risk of SCD in diabetic patients was 2.08 times that of non-diabetic individuals ( RR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.57-2.75), and in those with LVEF<50%, the risk was 1.69 times that of non-diabetic individuals ( RR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.30-2.18), with no statistically significant heterogeneity between groups ( P=0.277). In yellow-skinned populations, the risk of SCD in diabetic patients was 1.80 times that of healthy individuals ( RR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.73-1.87), and in white-skinned populations, it was 2.18 times that of healthy individuals ( RR=2.18, 95% CI: 1.88-2.54), with statistically significant heterogeneity between groups ( P=0.014). Conclusions:Diabetes mellitus significantly increased the risk of SCD, and this effect may be more pronounced in white-skinned populations, while region, baseline comorbidities, and LVEF had no further effect.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of human parechovirus (HPeV) in neonates of Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital, and analyze genetic evolutionary characteristics.Methods:From June to September 2021, fecal samples of inpatient neonates were collected in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital. TaqMan real-time qPCR and RT-PCR were used for HPeV screening and genotyping. High-throughput sequencing and PCR were used to obtain whole genomes. Phylogenetic analysis was performed after sequencing.Results:A total of 123 fecal samples of neonates were collected, of which 22 were HPeV positive, with 17.89% positive rate. All the strains belonged to the HPeV-1 genotype. One full-length genomic sequence of 7 269 bp were obtained, and provisionally named Hunan/HPeV/2021, which has the highest nucleotide identity with known HPeV-1 genotype, with 86.6%-91.9% nucleotide identity. The nucleotide and amino acid identity of open reading frame (ORF) with known similar sequences were 90.3%-92.6% and 97.3%-98.3%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Hunan/HPeV/2021 belongs to the HPeV-1 genotype, which is clustered into the same clade as the popular HPeV-1 strains in China.Conclusions:HPeV has a high prevalence in inpatient neonates of Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital and belong to the HPeV-1 genotype.

Objective To investigate the effect of different radiation doses on the accuracy of iodine quantification and CT value of virtual monochromatic image with a muti-spectral CT iodine phantom using second-generation dual-layer detector spectral CT(DLCT).Methods The second-generation DLCT scan abdominal phantom was used,which consisted of six different concentrations of iodine rods at 4,8 and 12 g/L.The scan parameters were set at 100,120 and 140 kVp tube voltages,and six radiation exposure sequences were scanned at each tube voltage:5,10,15,20,25 and 30 mGy.Measure the iodine concentration value and the CT value at the single level of 50,70 and 100 keV,and calculate the absolute error value of iodine concentration and CT value under different radiation exposure.SPSS 22.0 software single factor analysis of variance was used to compare the difference between the io-dine concentration and the absolute error of CT value under different Radiation exposure,and LSD method was used to compare the two groups.Results The absolute error of CT value of 4 g/L iodine rod with 10～30 mGy scanning at 100 keV energy level was significantly higher than that of 12 g/L and 8 g/L(P＜0.05),and the absolute error of iodine concentration measurement of other iodine rods with different concentrations at different Radiation exposure had no statistical difference.Conclusions The second-generation double-layer detector spectral CT has high meas-urement stability for iodine concentration quantification and CT value accuracy under conditions of radiation dose greater than 5 mGy.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of coronary CT angiography(CCTA)-feature tracking(FT) for assessing global and regional myocardial strain in patients with heart failure(HF).Methods:From July 2019 to December 2020, twenty-five patients diagnosed with HF from Peking Union Medical College Hospital were prospectively enrolled into the study. All patients underwent retrospective electrocardiogram-gated CCTA and cardiac MR (CMR) imaging within 7 days. CCTA-FT and CMR-FT were undertaken using cvi 42 dedicated commercial software to measure global and regional strain parameters, including global peak radial strain (GPRS), global peak circumferential strain (GPCS) and global peak longitudinal strain (GPLS), as well as peak radial strain (PRS), peak circumferential strain (PCS) and peak longitudinal strain (PLS) of left ventricular basal segment, middle segment and apical segment. Conventional left ventricular functional parameters were also calculated, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular stroke volume (LVSV) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). Paired t test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the differences of measurements between CCTA group and CMR group. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the two groups. Inter-and intra-observer consistence in CCTA group was evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis. Results:The effective radiation dose of CCTA examination was 6.00 (4.86,7.63) mSv. Inter-and intra-observer consistence in CCTA group was excellent, and the ICC value was 0.85-0.98. In the overall strain parameters, GPCS in CCTA group[-8.10%(-10.32%, -5.20%)] was significantly lower than that of CMR group[-8.49%(-13.79%, -5.95%)] ( Z=-2.15, P=0.031). There was no significant difference in GPRS and GPRS between the two measurement methods ( P>0.05). Strong correlations were observed between GPRS, GPCS and GPLS ( r=0.65, 0.63, 0.71,all P<0.001). For local strain parameters, PCS in the middle segment and apical segment of CCTA group were lower than those of CMR group ( Z=-2.17, -2.62, all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in PCS of basal segment, PRS and PLS of all segments between groups (all P>0.05). The PCS and PLS of basal segment, PRS of middle segment and PRS of apical segment were moderately correlated ( r=0.46, 0.52, 0.58, 0.53, P<0.05); The other local strain parameters were strongly correlated, the range of r value was from 0.64 to 0.70 (all P<0.001). For left ventricular functional parameters, LVEF, LVSV and LVMI showed no significant differences between groups ( P>0.05), and the correlation was extremely strong ( r=0.90, 0.89, 0.96, all P<0.001). Conclusions:The repeatability of CCTA-FT technique in measuring myocardial strain was good, and the correlation of parameters measured by CCTA-FT technique and CMR-FT technique was excellent. Therefore, CCTA-FT technique can be used as a new noninvasive and simple method to evaluate myocardial motor function.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of soothing moisturizing repair cream on acne depressed scar exfoliative fractional laser wound repair.Methods:From October 2018 to June 2020, the Department of Dermatology, Qingdao Haici Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University took 33 patients with acne depressed scars as the research object, including 8 males and 25 females, aged from 20 to 36 years (29.6±8.6) years. The left and right face comparison method was adopted. After laser operation, the trial side was given a soothing moisturizing repair cream, and the control side was given a placebo.

The duration of pain, crusting time, scab removal time, and complete healing time of the wound on the test side were shorter than those on the control side ( P<0.05). The patient's satisfaction with the moisturization and comfort of the nursing products on the trial side was better than that on the control side ( P<0.05). Conclusions:There is no adverse reaction to the soothing moisturizing repair cream after laser surgery, which can better inhibit skin inflammation, reduce post-inflammatory pigmentation, promote skin healing, and help repair the wound after laser surgery.

Objective:To explore the feasibility in evaluating segmental extracellular volume (ECV) using dual-layer spectral detector CT in patients with heart failure with various percentages of delayed hyper-enhanced volume, using MRI as a reference.Methods:Twenty-seven patients with heart failure in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were prospectively enrolled in this study from July 2019 to January 2021. All the patients underwent both CT late iodine enhancement and MR late gadolinium enhancement imaging within a week. According to percentages of hyper-enhanced volume on cardiac MR image, myocardial segments were classified into 3 groups: 0-4% (group A), 5%-49% (group B) and 50%-100% (group C). ECV images were independently observed by 2 experienced radiologists. The correlation and agreement between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV for the whole myocardial assessment and for the segmental assessment were evaluated using Spearman correlation and Bland-Altman analysis. Inter-observer agreement was assessed using the ICC.Results:Of the 27 patients, 432 segments were analyzed, with 199 segments in group A, 151 segments in group B and 82 segments in group C. In the whole myocardial analysis, the CT-ECV and MRI-ECV were 32.25% (28.04%, 34.28%) and 32.27% (28.35%, 34.77%), respectively. A good correlation was found between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV ( r=0.969, P<0.001). Bland-Altman analysis between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV showed a small bias (0.4%), with 95% limits of agreement of -6.9% to 7.8%. as for the segmental myocardial assessment, the CT-ECV was 28.23% (26.18%, 29.92%) for group A, 33.29% (30.16%, 35.96%) for group B and 40.22% (34.06%, 46.70%) for group C. There was statistically significant difference in ECV among three groups (all P<0.001). Good correlations between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV were found in group A ( r=0.614, P<0.001), group B ( r=0.852, P<0.001) and group C ( r=0.953, P<0.001). Bland-Altman analysis between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV showed a small bias 2.0% (95% limits of agreement:-17.6%-21.6%) in group A, a small bias -0.4% (95% limits of agreement: -13.8%-12.9%) in group B and a small bias -1.8% (95% limits of agreement: -17.4%-13.9%) in group C. The ICC values between 2 observers were 0.877 and 0.945 on CT-ECV and MRI-ECV, respectively. Conclusions:The larger percentage of hyper-enhanced volume on cardiac MR image, the stronger correlation are between the CT-ECV and MRI-ECV. CT-ECV may be taken as an alternative tool for quantitative evaluation of myocardial tissue in patients with heart failure.
