Objective To propose a whole-life cycle management model for valvular heart disease (VHD), systematically elucidate its underlying logic and implementation pathways, and concurrently review and analyze its preliminary application outcomes. Methods Since 2020, West China Hospital of Sichuan University has established a management system encompassing "assessment-decision-intervention-follow-up", including: (1) a risk-stratified, tiered management pathway; (2) six core functions ("promotion, screening, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation") coordinated by disease-specific managers; (3) an intelligent decision support information platform; and (4) a collaborative network of multidisciplinary teams and regional academic alliances. To evaluate the effectiveness of this management model, we retrospectively included three cohorts: (1) the population screened by echocardiography from 2020 to 2024, analyzing the detection rate of aortic valve disease and risk stratification; (2) patients enrolled in the whole-life cycle management from April 2021 to December 2024, assessing follow-up outcomes, hospital satisfaction, and changes in quality of life; (3) patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) from January 2022 to January 2024, evaluating the one-year all-cause mortality rate, perioperative complications, and improvements in New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. Results Between 2020 and 2024, a total of 583 874 individuals underwent echocardiographic screening. A total of 48 089 patients with aortic valve disease were identified, including 3 401 (7.1%) high-risk patients, 18 657 (38.8%) moderate-risk patients, and 26 031 (54.1%) low-risk patients. Among them, 2 417 patients were enrolled in whole-life cycle management. Patient satisfaction scores showed a yearly increase, rising from 73.89 points before 2020 to 93.74 points in 2024. The 1-year mortality rate in the TAVR cohort decreased to 5.3%, significantly lower than the 8.2% observed under early standard management between 2014 and 2019 (P<0.01). Conclusion Through process optimization and resource integration, the VHD whole-life cycle management model has demonstrated significant effectiveness in standardizing diagnostic and follow-up procedures, enhancing patient satisfaction and quality of life, and reducing mortality. These outcomes highlight its practical value for broader implementation in China.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of domestic upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).Methods:A total of 160 patients undergoing EUS at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University (Center1) and Shenzhen People's Hospital (Center 2) from March to July 2021 were randomly selected by stratified blocked randomization, and were treated with SonoScape EG-UG5T (the test group) or Fujifilm EG-580UT (the control group). The primary outcome was the ultrasound image quality excellence rate, and the comparison was verified by non-inferiority. The secondary outcomes were the endoscopic image quality excellence rate, the operational performance excellence rate, and the system stability evaluation. The safety evaluation was based on the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative adverse events in the subjects.Results:In the intention-to-treat analysis set (ITT), the excellence rate of ultrasound image quality in the test group and the control group was 100.0% (78/78) and 100.0% (77/77), respectively. The rate difference between the two groups was 0.0% (95% CI: -4.7%-4.8%). In the per protocol analysis set (PPS), the excellence rate of ultrasound image quality in the test group and the control group was 100.0% (78/78) and 100.0% (75/75), respectively. The rate difference between the two groups was 0.0% (95% CI: -4.7%-4.9%). The lower limit of the confidence interval of ultrasound image quality excellence rate of both data sets was greater than the non-inferiority threshold value of -8%, which inferred that the non-inferiority hypothesis of the test machine non-inferior to the control machine was valid. The endoscopic image quality excellence rate and the operational performance excellence rate of the test group and the control group was 100.0% in both the ITT and PPS analyses, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=1.000). The system instability event rate was 0.0% (0/78) in the test group and 3.9% (3/77) in the control group ( P=0.120). No adverse event occurred in either group. Conclusion:The domestic upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound is standard-compliant for clinical application under normal conditions in terms of effectiveness, safety, and stability.

ObjectiveTo identify factors related to the occurrence of choking and coughing while eating in the disabled elderly and conduct importance matrix analysis to provide a reference basis for controlling choking on food in the disabled elderly. MethodsA convenience sampling method was used to select 80 disabled elderly individuals in a hospital between October 2019 and April 2022 as the study population. The occurrence of choking and coughing while eating was recorded， and a questionnaire was administered to collect general information. Additionally， assessments were conducted using the intelligent mental status examination scale （MMSE）， oral health checklist （BOHSE）， eating assessment tool⁃10 （EAT-10）， and chewing function evaluations. Univariate and multifactorial analyses were conducted to analyze the influencing factors of choking and coughing while eating in the elderly with disabilities. ResultsThe incidence of choking and coughing while eating was 52.50% （42/80） among the 80 disabled elderly. The degree of disability （OR=2.895， 95%CI： 1.352‒6.201）， age （OR=4.040， 95%CI： 1.121‒14.562）， BOHSE score （OR=2.473， 95%CI： 1.002‒6.102）， EAT-10 score （OR=5.345， 95%CI： 2.112‒13.527）， and chewing function score （OR=3.453， 95%CI： 1.247‒9.562） were identified as risk factors for choking and coughing while eating in the disabled elderly. The MMSE score （OR=0.343， 95%CI： 0.135‒0.869） was identified as a protective factor. The importance matrix analysis indicated that EAT-10 score， MMSE score， and chewing function had high importance with slightly lower difficulty in improvement， and were thus listed as items in the priority improvement area. Age and degree of disability had high importance and high difficulty in improvement， and therefore belonged to the suboptimal improvement area. BOHS score was slightly lower both in importance and difficulty of improvement， entering the alternative improvement area. ConclusionAge， degree of disability， BOHSE score， EAT-10 score， and chewing function score are risk factors for the occurrence of choking and coughing while eating， while the MMSE score is a protective factor. The importance matrix analysis can provide a basis for targeted intervention in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the application value of preconceptional laparoscopic cervical cerclage(LCC)in improving the pregnancy outcomes with cervical incompetence(CIC).Methods:Clinical data of 112 pa-tients with CIC who underwent preconceptional LCC in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 1,2014 to May 31,2023 were retrospectively reviewed.The surgical indications of preconceptional LCC in-cluded:failed transvaginal cervical cerclage(TCC)(42 patients),history of cervical surgery+failed TCC(7 pa-tients),unsuitability for TCC(10 patients)and strong request from patients(53 patients).The surgical situation and pregnancy outcome of preconceptional LCC were analyzed,and the gestational age of delivery before and af-ter preconceptional LCC surgery and different surgical indications were compared in postoperative delivery pa-tients who underwent preconceptional LCC.Results:The median operation time of 112 patients was 65.5 min,the median intraoperative blood loss was 10.0 ml,and there were no intraoperative complications.The postopera-tive hospital stay was 2.9±0.6 d.108 cases were followed up after surgery,with 77 cases of pregnancy and de-livery after LCC.A total of 205 deliveries were made before surgery,and 81 deliveries were made after surgery.Successful postoperative deliveries(delivery after 28 weeks)were 78(96.3% ),with an average gestational age 37.4±1.7 weeks.The preterm birth rate was 16.7%,term birth rate was 83.3% .The delivery rate at≥28 weeks after preconceptional LCC was significantly higher than the previous delivery rate of pre pregnancy LCC(96.3% vs.10.7%,P<0.05),and the gestational age was significantly prolonged(36.4±5.5 weeks vs.19.8±7.5 weeks,P<0.05).The postoperative delivery gestational week of preconceptional LCC with different surgical indi-cations was significantly later than the previous delivery gestational week of pre pregnancy LCC(P<0.05),ex-cept for the indication of unsuitability for TCC(P>0.05).Conclusions:Preconceptional LCC surgery is highly safe and can effectively prolong the gestational age and improve pregnancy outcomes in patients with CIC.It can be an effective treatment method for patients with a history of TCC failure.
