OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of evolocumab combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of patients with borderline coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 342 hospitalized patients diagnosed with borderline CHD were enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanyang Medical College from August 2021 to June 2024, and divided into control group (treated with atorvastatin, 190 cases) and trial group (treated with evolocumab combined with atorvastatin, 152 cases) according to therapeutic regimen. Blood lipid indexes, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and intravascular ultrasound of the coronary artery at baseline and after 1 year of treatment, and incidence of cardiovascular adverse events were compared after propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 295 patients (158 in control group and 137 in trial group) were finally included in the analysis. One year after the treatment, compared with control group, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hs-CRP levels were decreased significantly in trial group ( P <0.05), whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was increased significantly ( P <0.05). The lumen diameter, lumen area, and the minimum lumen area were significantly increased ( P <0.05), while plaque area and plaque burden were significantly decreased ( P <0.05). Overall incidence of adverse events in trial group was significantly lower than that in control group ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Evolocumab combined with atorvastatin can significantly improve coronary luminal narrowing and reduce plaque burden, as well as reduce the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in patients with borderline CHD.

Aim To establish a simple and practical method for visualizing neurovascular coupling in the mouse barrel cortex in vivo.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice received stereotaxic in-jections of pAAV-hSyn-jGCaMP7s-WPRE into the barrel cortex to monitor neuronal activity.Three weeks post-injection,a crani-al window was implanted,and TRITC-Dextran 155 ku was ad-ministered intravenously to visualize the vasculature and blood flow dynamics.A custom-built whisker stimulator was used to e-voke controlled neuronal excitation.Two-photon microscopy was employed to monitor neuronal and vascular responses to whisker stimulation in real-time.Results Neuronal calcium signals and plasma signals were clearly observed using two-photon microsco-py.Whisker stimulation led to a significant increase in neuronal calcium signals in the barrel cortex,indicating effective neuronal activation.This neuronal excitation was accompanied by a syn-chronous increase in blood vessel diameter,blood flow velocity and overall blood flow.Conclusions This study successfully establishes a three-dimensional visualization framework(spatial,temporal,and functional)for in vivo visualization of neurovascu-lar coupling in the mouse barrel cortex,which provides a useful tool for investigating the pathophysiological mechanisms of neuro-vascular dysfunction and evaluating the efficacy of potential ther-apies.

Objective:To explore the categories of benefit finding among gastric cancer patients, analyze the differences and influencing factors among different groups, and provide reference for clinical nursing.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 279 hospitalized gastric cancer patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2024 to May 2024. The general information investigation, Benefit Finding Scale, Health-Related Hardiness Scale, Chronic Diseases Risk Perception Questionnaire and Distress Disclosure Index were used for cross-sectional survey. Latent profile analysis was used to identify the potential categories of benefit finding in patients with gastric cancer, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related influencing factors.Results:A total of 266 valid questionnaires were returned, including 195 males and 71 females, with an age of (63.77 ± ?9.36) years. And three latent profiles of benefit finding were identified: low benefit-low growth group (31.96%, 85/266), moderate benefit group (37.59%, 100/266), and high benefit-health behavior group (30.45%, 81/266). The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the moderate benefit group, the patients with course of disease<6 months ( OR = 0.344, 95% CI 0.160-0.737), cancer stage Ⅰ ( OR = 0.050, 95% CI 0.004-0.589), and highrisk perception ( OR = 0.935, 95% CI 0.878-0.996) were more likely to enter the low benefit-low growth group, and the patients without comorbidities ( OR = 2.520, 95% CI 1.250-5.081) and high self-disclosure ( OR = 1.137, 95% CI 1.007-1.283) were more likely to enter the moderate benefit group (all P<0.05). Compared with the high benefit-health behavior group, patients withcourse of disease<6 months ( OR = 0.108, 95% CI 0.039-0.301) were more likely to enter the low benefit-low growth group, male ( OR = 3.088, 95% CI 1.407-9.106), chemotherapy only ( OR = 6.515, 95% CI 2.034-20.864) and high health-related hardiness ( OR = 1.146, 95% CI 1.096-1.199) were more likely to enter the high benefit-health behavior group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The benefit finding of gastric cancer patients has obvious classification characteristics. Clinical nursing staff should consider targeted interventions according to the characteristics of different categories of gastric cancer patients, encourage patients to face the disease with a positive attitude, and enhance patients′mental health literacy.

Objective:To systematically evaluate and integrate the disease experience and needs of gastric cancer patients, so as to provide an evidence-based basis for clinical nursing.Methods:Qualitative studies on gastric cancer patients' experiences and needs during the disease process were electronically searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, and China Biomedical Database. The search period was from database establishment to February 2024. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center. Meta-synthesis of results was performed using the aggregative synthesis.Results:A total of 13 papers were included, and 50 themes were distilled and summarized to form 11 new categories and three integrative results, including suffering and challenges from illness, self-adjustment and the search for a new normal in life, and undermet needs.Conclusions:Gastric cancer patients face a variety of significant challenges and changes during the course of their disease. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the patients' disease experience and physical and mental needs, and construct personalized care plans for gastric cancer patients to help them coexist with the disease and achieve life reconstruction.

Aim To investigate the antagonistic effect of Schizandrin A(SchA)on oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction and its mechanism of action.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were selected as the research subjects,and the effects of SchA on cell viability were detected by MTT assay;the content of ROS in the cells was detec-ted by flow cytometry;the content of MDA and CAT in the cells,and the content of NO and ET-1 in the cell supernatant were detected by kit assay;and the expres-sion of SOD1,p-eNOS/eNOS proteins,and ET-1 in the cell supernatant were detected by Western blot.Immu-nofluorescence experiments were performed to detect Nrf2 entry into the nucleus of cells.Results SchA re-versed the LPS-or hypoxia-induced increase in ROS and MDA content as well as the decrease in SOD1 and CAT content in HUVECs by activating the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 signaling pathway.SchA inhibited the decrease of p-eNOS and eNOS protein expression in HUVECs cells,as well as NO content in cell culture medium and the increase of ET-1 content induced by LPS.The Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reversed the antagonis-tic effects of SchA on oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction.Conclusions SchA antagonized LPS and hypoxia-induced oxidative stress,and SchA amelio-rated oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction by up-regulating the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 signaling path-way.
