Objective To investigate the safety of totally thoracoscopic mitral valve reoperation with hypothermia-induced ventricular fibrillation arrest in elderly patients.Methods Clinical data of 108 elderly patients undergoing redo mitral valve surgery in our department from January 2008 to October 2024 were retrospectively collected,and according to surgical approach,they were di-vided into a totally thoracoscopic group(totally thoracoscopy with hypothermia-induced ventricu-lar fibrillation arrest,46 cases)and a median sternotomy group(cardiac arrest after median ster-notomy,62 cases).Their perioperative data were compared between the two groups.Results There were no statistical differences in baseline data between the two groups(P＞0.05).When compared with the median sternotomy group,the totally endoscopic group had significantly longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and higher mitral valvuloplasty rate and postoperative LVEF value,but obviously reduced lowest intraoperative temperature,lower blood transfusion rate,less vol-ume of suspended red blood cells transfused,decreased troponin T level 1 d postoperatively,shor-ter duration of mechanical ventilation and lengths of ICU stay and postoperative hospital stay,and less postoperative drainage volume(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).But there were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative stroke(6.52％vs 3.23％,P=0.420)or in-hospital death(6.52％vs 6.45％,P=0.988).Conclusions Totally thoracoscopy with hypothermi-a-induced ventricular fibrillation arrest is safe and reliable for the elderly patients who need to receive mitral valve reoperation.

Objective To observe the repair effect and mechanism of Danhuang Powder-containing serum on high glucose-induced vascular endothelial cell injury.Methods Danhuang Powder-containing serum was prepared.Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were cultured to be divided into control group,recombinant human epidermal growth factor(called"growth factor"for short)group,Danhuang Powder group,high glucose group,high glucose+growth factor group,and high glucose+Danhuang Powder group.After corresponding intervention in each group for 48 hours,the cell ultrastructure and autophagy were observed under transmission electron microscope,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and the protein expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),epidermal growth factor(EGF)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)in the cells were detected by Western Blot.Results(1)The intra-mitochondrial ridges in the control group were clearly visible,autophagosomes and autolysosomes were fewer;mitochondria in the high glucose group were swollen and irregular,and appeared vacuolated;and the more typical autophagy-like structures were seen in the high glucose+Danhuang Powder group.(2)Compared with the high glucose group and high glucose+growth factor group,the apoptosis rate of cells in the high glucose+Danhuang Powder group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the high glucose group and the high glucose+growth factor group,the protein expression levels of VEGF,EGF and bFGF in the cells of the high glucose+Danhuang Powder group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Danhuang Powder-containing serum can reduce the high glucose-induced damage in HUVEC cells,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of mitochondrial autophagy,and the inhibition of apoptosis,as well as the up-regulation of the expression of VEGF,EGF and bFGF.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the critical role of rehabilitation medical records (including electronic records) in rehabilitation medicine's clinical practice and management, comprehensively analyzed the structure, core content and data standards of rehabilitation medical records, to develop a standardized medical record data architecture and core dataset suitable for rehabilitation medicine and to explore the application of rehabilitation data in performance evaluation and payment. MethodsBased on the regulatory documents Basic Specifications for Medical Record Writing and Basic Specifications for Electronic Medical Records (Trial) issued by National Health Commission of China, and referencing the World Health Organization (WHO) Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs) classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), this study constructed the data architecture, core content and data standards for rehabilitation medical records. Furthermore, it explored the application of rehabilitation record summary sheets (home page) data in rehabilitation medical statistics and payment methods, including Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG), Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) and Case Mix Index. ResultsThis study proposed a systematic standard framework for rehabilitation medical records, covering key components such as patient demographics, rehabilitation diagnosis, functional assessment, rehabilitation treatment prescriptions, progress evaluations and discharge summaries. The research analyzed the systematic application methods and data standards of ICD-10/ICD-11, ICF and ICHI Beta-3 in the fields of medical record terminology, coding and assessment. Constructing a standardized data structure and data standards for rehabilitation medical records can significantly improve the quality of data reporting based on the medical record summary sheet, thereby enhancing the quality control of rehabilitation services, effectively supporting the optimization of rehabilitation medical insurance payment mechanisms, and contributing to the establishment of rehabilitation medical performance evaluation and payment based on DRG and DIP. ConclusionStructured rehabilitation records and data standardization are crucial tools for quality control in rehabilitation. Systematically applying the three reference classifications of the WHO-FICs, and aligning with national medical record and electronic health record specifications, facilitate the development of a standardized rehabilitation record architecture and core dataset. Standardizing rehabilitation care pathways based on the ICF methodology, and developing ICF- and ICD-11-based rehabilitation assessment tools, auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and supporting terminology and coding systems, can effectively enhance the quality of rehabilitation records and enable interoperability and sharing of rehabilitation data with other medical data, ultimately improving the quality and safety of rehabilitation services.

OBJECTIVE To design and synthesize rifamycin S derivatives and load them into milk exosomes to evaluate their in vitro antimicrobial activity.METHODS Rifamycin S derivatives were synthe-sized and characterized by mass spectrometry and NMR.Using the dilution assay method,the inhibitory activity of each rifamycin S derivatives molecule against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aerugi-nosa was determined,and the IC50 was calculated.Derivatives molecules with excellent antimicrobial activity were selected and loaded into milk exosomes using the ultrasonication method,resulting in the preparation of milk exosome-loaded rifamycin S derivatives.The antimicrobial activity against Staphylo-coccus aureus was determined using the dilution assay method.The inhibitory effect of the exosome-loaded rifamycin S derivatives on Staphylococcus aureus residing within macrophages was detected using the plate colony counting method.RESULTS Three rifamycin S derivatives were successfully designed and synthesized,which demonstrated superior antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus(the parent compound's antimicrobial activity is merely from 1/20 to 1/80 of that of the three rifamycin S derivatives)and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(the parent compound's antimicrobial activity is only 1/14 and 1/9 of that of compound 1 and compound 3)compared to the parent compound.The loading of milk exosomes with the rifamycin S derivatives compound 3 was successfully achieved,with a loading efficiency of 10.9％.The antimicrobial activity of the compound after exosome loading was significantly enhanced against Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and against Staphylococcus aureus residing within macrophages(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION The designed and synthesized derivatives of rifamycin S possess stronger anti-microbial activity,and their antibacterial efficacy against both extracellular and intracellular bacteria can be further enhanced after loading into exosomes.

Objective:To examine the therapeutic strategy and its impacting factors by analyzing the perioperative outcomes of total thoracoscopic repeat mitral valve surgery under moderate hypothermia-induced ventricular fibrillation with cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods:This study is a retrospective case series. Totally 63 patients who underwent repeat mitral valve surgery by the same surgeon from January 2021 to December 2023 in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the First Medical Center of People′s Liberation Army General Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. There were 28 males and 35 females with an age of (58.3±15.9) years (range: 13 to 84 years). Surgery was performed using a totally thoracoscopic approach under moderate hypothermia-induced ventricular fibrillation. Mitral valvuloplasty was completed in 32 cases and mitral valve replacement in 31 cases. Preoperative baseline data and perioperative outcomes of the patients were collected and Logistic regression was used to analyze independent influencing factors of premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period.Results:The intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time was (191.5±50.9) minutes (range: 95 to 286 minutes), and the hypothermic ventricular fibrillation time was (99.0±39.8) minutes (range: 34 to 203 minutes). The anal temperature before the start of cardiopulmonary bypass was (36.3±0.5) ℃ (range: 35.2 to 38.0 ℃), the lowest intraoperative anal temperature was (27.3±1.3) ℃(range: 23.7 to 30.1 ℃), and the anal temperature at the time of the cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass was (36.3±0.4) ℃ (range: 35.2 to 37.0 ℃), and excessive rewarming was observed in 33 cases. Six cases applied the artificial heart assist device. Seventeen cases developed premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period. Two cases developed neurologic complications. Five cases developed respiratory complications. One case developed urological systemic complications. Six cases were mechanically ventilated for more than 3 days, and the duration of ICU stay in 16 cases was more than 3 days and the postoperative discharge time of ( M(IQR)) 8.0 (3.5) days (range: 3 to 26 days). Two cases died or were discharged voluntarily. Logistic regression results showed that persistent preoperative atrial fibrillation ( OR=11.424, 95% CI: 1.477 to 144.564, P=0.033) and excessive rewarming ( OR=15.249, 95% CI: 1.357 to 279.571, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for the appearance of premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period. Conclusions:The technique of total thoracoscopic surgery under induced moderate hypothermic ventricular fibrillation with cardiopulmonary bypass could be applied to repeated mitral valve surgeries with less trauma and faster recovery. Persistent preoperative atrial fibrillation and excessive rewarming are independent risk factors for the occurrence of premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period.

Objective To explore the influence of early high-energy-density milk powder feeding on recovery and nutritional status in infants with congenital heart disease after surgery. Methods A total of 82 infants with congenital heart disease were selected and randomly divided into control group (early routine formula feeding) and study group (early high-energy-density formula feeding), with 41 cases in each group. The recovery outcomes, nutritional status, feeding conditions, and cardiac function were compared between the two groups. Results Mechanical ventilation time, treatment duration in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), and hospital stay in the study group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with preoperative levels, the levels of prealbumin (PA), retinol-binding protein (RBP), transferrin (TRF) and albumin (ALB) increased significantly in both groups at 3 months after operation (P < 0.05); at 3 months after operation, the levels of PA, RBP, TRF and ALB in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with preoperative measurements, both groups showed significant improvements in height and body weight at 3 months after operation (P < 0.05); the height and body weight of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group at 3 months after operation (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the study group had a significant lower rate of inadequate feeding and a significant higher rate of appropriate feeding (P < 0.05). Cardiac function of the study group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Early high-energy-density milk powder feeding after congenital heart disease surgery in infants can promote faster recovery, improve nutritional status, and result in more appropriate feeding, with a lower incidence of heart failure.
