Objective To explore the correlations of the severity degrees of coronary stenosis with cardiac function and exercise tolerance. Methods A total of 112 patients who underwent coronary angiography in Cardiology Department of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between October 2024 and January 2025 were enrolled. According to the imaging results, the Gensini score was calculated, and the patients were divided into three groups based on the scores: mild group (＜20 points, n＝42), moderate group (20-40 points, n＝43), and severe group (＞40 points, n＝27). The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and its abnormal elevation ratio, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), and grip strength were compared among the groups. The correlations between Gensini score and various indicators were analyzed using multivariate linear regression. And the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of severe coronary stenosis. Results The 6MWD and LVEF values in the severe group were lower than those in the mild and moderate groups (P＜0.01), while the NT-proBNP level and its abnormal elevation ratio in the severe group were higher than those in the mild group (P＜0.05). The Gensini score was negatively correlated with 6MWD (β＝−0.965, P＜0.01), and positively correlated with NT-proBNP level and its abnormal elevation ratio (β＝0.015, P＜0.001; β＝0.003, P＝0.037). 6MWD and diabetes were independent related factors of severe coronary stenosis (OR＝0.956, P＜0.001; OR＝5.701, P＝0.038). Conclusions The cardiac function and exercise tolerance in patients with severe coronary stenosis decrease, 6MWD is helpful of recognizing severe coronary stenosis population.

Objective: To investigate the effect of the senescence state of parental human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the osteoinductive properties of their derived apoptotic vesicles (apoVs), and to provide an experimental basis and a quality control reference for the treatment of alveolar bone defects and osteoporosis based on apoVs. Methods: A replicative senescence model of human aging BMSCs (A-BMSCs) was established via serial passaging, with young BMSCs (Y-BMSCs) serving as controls. Following the induction of apoptosis with staurosporine, apoVs were isolated from Y-BMSCs and A-BMSCs (termed Y-apoVs and A-apoVs, respectively) via differential centrifugation. The physicochemical properties (morphology, size, zeta potential, and yield) and protein markers of both apoV populations were systematically characterized. Subsequently, Y-BMSCs were divided into a proliferation medium (PM) group, osteogenic induction medium (OM) group, OM + Y-apoVs group, and OM + A-apoVs group. The osteoinductive efficacy in vitro was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red S staining, and quantitative real-time PCR detection of key osteogenic genes, including runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), ALP, osteopontin (OPN), and osterix (OSX). Approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, in vivo biodistribution (labelling apoVs with the red fluorescent dye PKH26) and bone regeneration efficacy were assessed in 18-month-old osteoporotic C57BL/6 mice. Mice were randomly divided into a control group (injected with phosphate-buffered saline), Y-apoVs group (injected with Y-apoVs), and A-apoVs group (injected with A-apoVs). Following tail-vein injection administration of apoVs for 8 weeks, bone regeneration was evaluated via micro-computed tomography and histological analysis. Results: Electron microscopy and particle size analysis revealed that both Y-apoVs and A-apoVs displayed typical biconcave discoid structures, with diameters mainly ranging from 100 to 500 nm. Western blot assays confirmed high expression of universal vesicle markers (CD9, CD63, CD81) and the apoptotic marker Fas in both groups. Y-apoVs and A-apoVs exhibited indistinguishable morphologies, size distributions, zeta potentials, and yields. In vitro experiments showed that, compared with the PM group, the OM, OM + A-apoVs, and OM + Y-apoVs groups significantly enhanced ALP activity, calcium nodule formation, and the expression of osteogenic genes (RUNX2, ALP, OPN, OSX) in recipient Y-BMSCs (P<0.05); moreover, compared with the OM and OM + A-apoVs groups, the OM + Y-apoVs group exhibited a more significant promoting effect (P<0.05). An in vivo analysis demonstrated that tail-vein-injected apoVs effectively homed to bone tissue. Moreover, the Y-apoVs group significantly improved trabecular microarchitecture, bone mineral density, and bone volume fraction in aged mice, exhibiting superior therapeutic efficacy over the control and A-apoVs groups (P<0.05) Conclusion The senescence state of parental cells significantly impairs the osteoinductive ability of BMSC-derived apoVs. Y-apoVs are effective biological agents for the treatment of age-related bone loss.

Objective To explore the effects of home-based exercise rehabilitation on cardiac structure, valvular function, and exercise capacity in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods 49 patients with severe AS who underwent TAVR at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from January 2024 to February 2025 were enrolled. They were divided into an exercise group (n＝25) or a non-exercise group (n＝24) based on participating or not in home-based rehabilitation after TAVR. The exercise group received 12 weeks of home-based exercise training (aerobic exercise plus resistance training every week); the non-exercise group received routine care. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used to assess cardiac structural parameters before discharge (T0) and after 12 weeks of exercise (T1). Functional outcomes including the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) were compared between the two groups. A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the effect of home-based rehabilitation on echocardiographic parameters. Patients were stratified by baseline 6MWT (＜240 m as low-function subgroup, ≥240 m as high-function subgroup) to compare exercise-related outcomes between subgroups. Results At T1, the exercise group had a longer 6MWT distance than the non-exercise group (P＝0.012). The linear mixed-effects model showed that after 12 weeks of exercise, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) decreased in the exercise group but slightly increased in the non-exercise group, with a significant difference in changes over time between the two groups (P_interaction＝0.030). The exercise group also showed greater improvement in effective orifice area index (P_interaction＝0.028) and effective orifice area (P_interaction＝0.042) than the non-exercise group. Subgroup analysis revealed that in the low-function subgroup, the exercise group showed greater improvement in the 6MWT (P_interaction＝0.035) and the effective orifice area index (P_interaction＝0.046) compared to the non-exercise group; in the high-function subgroup, the exercise group showed greater improvement only in LVEDD compared to the non-exercise group (P_interaction＝0.046). Conclusions Home-based exercise rehabilitation improves exercise capacity, optimizes left ventricular remodeling, and enhances valvular function in patients with severe AS after TAVR, with greater benefits observed in patients with lower baseline 6MWT.

Objective : To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of high mobility group nucleosome-binding domain protein 2(HMGN2) on lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods : This work first analyzed the association between HMGN2 and lung adenocarcinoma tissues using The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) database. Lung adenocarcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected to compare the differential expression levels of HMGN2. The expression of HMGN2 mRNA in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549 and NC-H1299 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. HMGN2 expression was knocked down using si-RNA technology, with the control group transfected with an equivalent amount of NC-siRNA, and the si-RNA group transfected with si-HMGN2. Stable transfected cell lines were established based on si-RNA knockdown efficiency. The effects of HMGN2 knockdown on the growth, movement, and spread of lung adenocarcinoma cells were assessed using CCK-8, Transwell assays, scratch assays, colony formation assays, and EdU assays. Transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed pathways related to tumorigenesis associated with HMGN2. The relative expression levels of MAPK pathway proteins after HMGN2 knockdown were detected by Western blot. Results : HMGN2 mRNA expression was significantly elevated in lung cancer tissues and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines(P<0.05). After HMGN2 knockdown, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were significantly reduced(P<0.05), and the phosphorylation levels of the MAPK signaling pathway markedly decreased(P<0.05). Conclusion HMGN2 enhances the proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells, and its mechanism may be closely related to the activation of the MAPK signaling pathwayviaphosphorylation.

Objective To explore the mediating role of mobile phone dependency and self-rated health in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences(ACEs)and mental health among young adults.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using cluster random sampling among 1 611 young adults(mean age 26.30 years)from a region in Hainan Province.Participants completed the childhood trauma questionnaire(short form),the mobile phone addiction index,the depression-anxiety-stress scale(simplified Chinese version),and a self-rated health questionnaire.Pearson correlation analysis and mediation effect analysis were employed to examine the relationships among ACEs,mobile phone dependency,self-rated health,and mental health.Results ACEs,mobile phone dependency,and self-rated health were all significantly correlated with mental health(all P＜0.01).ACEs had a direct negative effect on mental health(direct effect=0.221,95%confidence interval[CI]0.150-0.293).Furthermore,ACEs exerted indirect effects on mental health through 3 pathways:the independent mediation of mobile phone dependency(indirect effect=0.081,95%CI 0.035-0.130),the independent mediation of self-rated health(indirect effect=0.034,95%CI 0.011-0.062),and the chain mediation of mobile phone dependency and self-rated health(indirect effect=0.009,95%CI 0.004-0.015).Conclusion ACEs have a significant impact on the mental health of young adults,with mobile phone dependency and self-rated health serving as key mediators.Interventions aimed at reducing mobile phone dependency and improving health status may help mitigate the negative impact of childhood trauma on mental health,thereby promoting psychological well-being in this population.

Objective We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shengxuebao Mixture in the treatment of cancer-related anemia(CRA)presenting with syndrome of deficiency of liver and kidney combined with syndrome of deficiency of both qi and blood.Methods A randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,multicenter clinical trial was conducted.Eligible patients with malignant tumors meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled from 26 hospitals,including Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,Xiaogan Central Hospital,and Yangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,from June 1,2022,to September 30,2024.Patients were allocated 1:1 to either the experimental group receiving Shengxuebao Mixture or the control group receiving its simulator(placebo)using a block randomization method under double-blind conditions.Both groups received 15 mL orally three times daily for 28 consecutive days.The primary efficacy indicators included the hemoglobin(Hb)improvement rate(RHb)and the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome improvement rate(RTCM)at week 4 of treatment.The secondary efficacy indicators encompassed Hb and red blood cell(RBC)count,Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)score,TCM syndrome score,individual TCM symptom scores,and changes in each of these indicators compared to the baseline period at weeks 2,4,and 6 of treatment.Safety evaluations were conducted at week 4 of treatment.Results A total of 239 patients were enrolled,with 225 cases included in the Full Analysis Set(FAS)(109 in the experimental group vs.116 control group),163 in the Per Protocol Set(PPS)(77 vs.86),and 225 in the Safety Set(SS)(109 vs.116).Baseline characteristics between groups showed no significant differences.Significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in RHb at week 4(FAS:49.51%vs.35.24%,P<0.05;PPS:53.25%vs.36.05%,P<0.05)and RTCM at week 4(FAS:61.54%vs.39.62%,P<0.01;PPS:64.94%vs.40.70%,P<0.01).At weeks 2,4,and 6,the experimental group showed greater improvements in Hb and RBC counts than the control group.Additionally,the TCM syndrome scores were lower in the experimental group than in the control group at these time points.Except for week 2 in PPS,the KPS improvement was better in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).The experimental group also demonstrated a greater reduction in scores for individual TCM symptoms such as spiritlessness and weakness,poor appetite and reduced food intake at weeks 4 and 6 compared to the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Furthermore,the reduction in vertigo score was more pronounced in the experimental group at week 6(P<0.01).For the score of pale and lusterless complexion,only in the PPS was the reduction from baseline more significant in the experimental group than in the control group at weeks 4 and 6(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in the incidence of all adverse events or drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion Shengxuebao Mixture demonstrates significant efficacy in patients with CRA presenting syndrome of deficiency of liver and kidney combined with syndrome of deficiency of both qi and blood,effectively increasing Hb levels,ameliorating TCM syndromes,alleviating clinical symptoms,and enhancing functional status,with no significant difference in adverse drug reactions compared to the placebo.

Objectives:To analyze the risk factors of atrial fibrillation in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(NOHCM)and explore the relationship between left ventricular/atrial volume and atrial fibrillation.Methods:Consecutive NOHCM patients admitted at Fuwai Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 with complete clinical data,satisfactory echocardiography imaging data were included in this analysis,patients were divided into atrial fibrillation group(n=28)and non-atrial fibrillation group(n=57).Left-sided volumetric and functional parameters were measured by one-beat real-time full-volume three-dimensional echocardiography,including left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left atrial volume(LAV).The left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDVi)index,left ventricular end-systolic volume index(LVESVi)and left atrial volume index(LAVi)were calculated.Other echocardiographic parameters including interventricular septum(IVSmax)thickness,left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPW),and left atrial diameter(LAD)were routinely measured.Mitral valve forward flow spectrum,tissue Doppler,tricuspid regurgitation velocity,and left atrial size were used to evaluate the left ventricular diastolic function of patients,and diastolic dysfunction was classified into grade I,II,and III.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of atrial fibrillation in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Results:Compared with the non-atrial fibrillation group,LVEDV([143.8±26.7]ml vs.[117.1±21.9]ml)and LVEDVi([79.4±11.9]ml/m2 vs.[64.2±10.6]ml/m2)were smaller in atrial fibrillation group(both P<0.001).Compared with the non-atrial fibrillation group,LAD([40.2±4.7]mm vs.[48.6±4.8]mm)and LAVi([37.3±8.9]ml/m2 vs.[64.4±17.1]ml/m2)were lager in atrial fibrillation group(both P<0.001).Compared with the non-atrial fibrillation group,the proportion of NYHA functional classification≥Ⅲ was higher(15.8%vs.50.0%,P<0.001),LVEF was lower([61.5±5.5]%vs.[57.6±5.0]%,P=0.002),and proportion of severe diastolic dysfunction was higher in atrial fibrillation group(P<0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that the factors associated with atrial fibrillation in NOHCM patients were LVEDVi(OR=0.744,95%CI:0.575-0.962,P=0.024)and LAVi(OR=1.602,95%CI:1.032-2.486,P=0.036).Conclusions:LVEDVi and LAVi are related factors for atrial fibrillation in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.LVEDVi is negatively,while LAVi is positively associated with the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in NOHCM patients.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To analyze the biomechanical characteristics of cannulated screws internal fixation models with different spatial distribution in the treatment of PauwelsⅡ fracture of the femoral neck through finite element analysis.Methods One healthy male volunteer was selected as the research subject.A thin-layer scan from the femoral head to the distal femur of the volunteer was performed using 128-slice spiral CT to preliminarily construct a three-dimensional mesh model of the femur.Through subsequent processing,a cannulated screw internal fixation model conforming to human anatomical characteristics was obtained.A horizontal line was drawn based on the center line of the femoral shaft,and the fracture line was set at the center of the femoral neck with an angle of 50° to the horizontal line to construct the Pauwels Ⅱ femoral neck fracture model.Five kinds of cannulated screw internal fixation models with different spatial distribution were simulated and designed in SolidWorks 2021 software,and the assembly models were imported into Ansys 2021R1 software to establish the finite element model.The stress distribution of the femur and its internal fixator in the five models were evaluated,and the displacement of the femoral neck fracture cross-section in the X,Y,and Z directions,as well as the overall displacement of the femur and the internal fixator were analyzed.Results The stresses of the proximal femur of the five models concentrated below the femoral neck fracture line,and the stress peak of the inverted equilateral triangle configuration was the smallest(19.179 MPa).The total stresses of the internal fixator in the five models all concentrated in the middle region of the ventral cannulated screw at the proximal femur,and the stress peak of the inverted equilateral triangle configuration was the lowest(61.742 MPa).The maximum displacement of the femoral neck fracture cross-section in the X and Y directions of the five models all appeared in the anterior and upper regions of the cross-section,and the displacement of the inverted equilateral triangle configuration was the smallest(X axis:0.446 54 mm,Y axis:0.704 21 mm).The maximum displacement of the femoral neck fracture cross-section in the Z direction of the five models all occurred in the posterior upper part of the cross-section,among which the displacement of the inverted equilateral triangle configuration was the smallest(0.225 62 mm).The overall displacement of the proximal femur of the five models concentrated in the stress-loading area of the femoral head,and the displacement of the inverted equilateral triangle configuration was the smallest(0.721 16 mm).The maximum displacement of the internal fixator of the five models located at the tip of the cannulated screw fixed at the top of the femoral neck near the posterior wall,and the displacement of the inverted equilateral triangle configuration was the smallest(0.686 83 mm).Conclusion Among the five different cannulated screws internal fixation models for Pauwels Ⅱ femoral neck fractures,the inverted equilateral triangle configuration has the best stress dispersion effect,the smallest displacement of fracture end,and the best biomechanical stability.
