Objective:To analyze the echocardiographic features of different subtypes of Takayasu arteritis（TA）complicated with heart failure（HF），and to explore the clinical application value of echocardiography in the assessment of TA-HF.Methods:Comprehensive clinical and echocardiographic data were collected from 328 consecutive patients with TA who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between January 2010 and December 2023. HF was diagnosed and classified according to the criteria outlined in the China guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure 2024. A total of 38 TA-HF patients was selected and enrolled. Based on left ventricular ejection fraction（LVEF），they were grouped into preserved LVEF（HFpEF）group（LVEF≥50%， n=22）and the reduced LVEF（HFmr/rEF）group（LVEF<50%， n=16）. Clinical and echocardiographic data were compared between the HFpEF group and the HFmr/rEF group. Multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors for the occurrence of heart failure. Results:① The incidence of HF was 11.6% in patients with TA（38/328）. In the patients with TA-HF，Numano Type Ⅴ accounted for 52.6%（20/38）. According to HF classification standard，TA-HF most commonly manifested as HFpEF at 57.9%（22/38），HFmrEF and HFrEF each accounted for 21.05%（8/38）respectively. ②Echocardiographic analysis revealed the following findings in TA-HF patients：34（89.5%）patients exhibited left heart dilation，4（10.5%）patients demonstrated right heart dilation，23（60.5%）patients presented with left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy，18（47.4%）patients had moderate/severe aortic valve regurgitation，9（23.7%）patients showed diffuse left ventricular myocardial wall motion abnormalities，8（21.1%）patients displayed segmental left ventricular myocardial wall motion abnormalities，and 11（28.9%）patients were diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. ③Intergroup comparisons demonstrated significantly lower levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate，reduced proportions of patients in clinical active phase，and lower incidence of moderate/severe aortic regurgitation in HFmr/rEF group versus HFpEF group（all P<0.05）. Conversely，HFmr/rEF group exhibited significantly higher rates of myocardial motion abnormalities，left atrial anteroposterior diameter，left ventricular end-systolic anteroposterior diameter，and left ventricular end-systolic volume compared to HFpEF group（all P<0.05）. ④Multivariate regression analysis identified left ventricular wall motion abnormality，pulmonary hypertension，moderate/severe aortic regurgitation and left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy as independent risk factors for TA-HF development. Conclusions:TA-HF exhibits diverse echocardiographic manifestations，with distinct echocardiographic features observed among different subtypes. Echocardiography plays a crucial role in the diagnosis，classification，and risk stratification of TA-HF.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Pyran- and furanocoumarins are key representatives of tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans, respectively, exhibiting diverse physiological and medical bioactivities. However, the biosynthetic mechanisms for their core structures remain poorly understood. Here we combined multiomics analyses of biosynthetic enzymes in Peucedanum praeruptorum and in vitro functional verification and identified two types of key enzymes critical for pyran and furan ring biosynthesis in plants. These included three distinct P. praeruptorum prenyltransferases (PpPT1-3) responsible for the prenylation of the simple coumarin skeleton 7 into linear or angular precursors, and two novel CYP450 cyclases (PpDC and PpOC) crucial for the cyclization of the linear/angular precursors into either tetrahydropyran or tetrahydrofuran scaffolds. Biochemical analyses of cyclases indicated that acid/base-assisted epoxide ring opening contributed to the enzyme-catalyzed tetrahydropyran and tetrahydrofuran ring refactoring. The possible acid/base-assisted catalytic mechanisms of the identified cyclases were theoretically investigated and assessed using site-specific mutagenesis. We identified two possible acidic amino acids Glu303 in PpDC and Asp301 in PpOC as vital in the catalytic process. This study provides new enzymatic tools in the epoxide formation/epoxide-opening mediated cascade reaction and exemplifies how plants become chemically diverse in terms of enzyme function and catalytic process.
