Objective:To analyze the physical activity level of patients treated with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease in the early out-of-hospital recovery phase, and the factors influencing it.Methods:Patients who had been discharged within the previous 6 months after their first PCI treatment were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Chinese version of the Tilburg Frailty Scale, the Social Support Rating Scale, and for their ability in the activities of daily living. Epidemiological descriptive methods were used to analyze the reported physical activity levels, and multifactoral logistic regression was applied to explore the influencing factors. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of the risk factors.Results:A total of 394 former patients were surveyed, including 117 (30%) reporting a low level of physical activity, 202 (51%) describing a moderate level and 75 (19%) claiming a high level. The univariate analysis revealed significant differences in physical activity levels among those of different ages, with different chronic co-morbidities, and with different frailty and self-care ability. Multifactoral logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age, chronic co-morbidities, frailty and little self-care ability are significant predictors of a low level of physical activity. The area under the ROC curve for predicting the physical activity level by combining those four factors was 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.94), with a sensitivity of 0.89 and a specificity of 0.80. Conclusions:The physical activity level of patients treated with PCI for coronary disease is moderately low early after their release from the hospital. Targeted intervention to increase it is called for.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the protective effect of α-lipoic acid(α-LA)against alcohol-induced damage in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes and to explore the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:An alcohol-induced injury model of H9c2 cells was established,and the cells were divided into 4 groups:control group,alcohol group,α-LA group,and alcohol+α-LA group.Additionally,H9c2 cells overexpressing aldehyde dehydrogenase 2(ALDH2)were cre-ated and further divided into 6 groups:normal control group,normal cells treated with alcohol group,normal cells treated with alcohol+α-LA group,ALDH2 overexpression group,ALDH2-overexpressing cardiomyocytes treated with alcohol group,and ALDH2-overexpressing cardiomyocytes treated with alcohol+α-LA group.Cell proliferation was assessed using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)staining.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels in each group were measured using di-hydroethidium(DHE)staining,while the expression levels of ALDH2,silent information regulator 1(SIRT1),heme oxy-genase 1(HO1)and P53 proteins were detected by Western blot analysis.RESULTS:(1)Alcohol exposure resulted in a decrease in the proliferation of H9c2 cells and an increase in intracellular oxidative stress,evidenced by elevated ROS levels and decreased expression of related proteins(ALDH2,SIRT1 and HO1).However,α-LA treatment significantly mitigated the decline in cell proliferation and the oxidative stress induced by alcohol.(2)Alcohol may induce cellular se-nescence,as demonstrated by the up-regulation of P53 expression,which were reversed by α-LA.(3)The H9c2 cells with high ALDH2 expression markedly improved the cell proliferation in the presence of alcohol,suppressed the ROS pro-duction,prevented the down-regulation of oxidative stress-related proteins(ALDH2,SIRT1 and HO1),and reversed the enhanced expression of the senescence marker P53.CONCLUSION:Treatment with α-LA may counteract oxidative stress and attenuate cellular senescence by activating ALDH2,thereby protecting cardiomyocytes from alcohol-induced damage.

Objective To observe the application effect of magnetic resonance imaging technology in evaluating the brain structure and function of patients with type 2 diabetic painful neuropathy (PDN). Methods Forty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus hospitalized in our hospital were selected as the study objects, and were divided into diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n=12), peripheral neuropathy (DPN) group (n=14) and PDN group (n=14). General clinical biochemical indexes of three groups were analyzed. The structural brain and function of brain area in three groups were compared. Results Age, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), free fatty acid (FFA), albumin (ALB), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), cystatin C (Cys-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) of the three groups were compared, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) and serum calcium (Ca) in the three groups showed no significant differences (P > 0.05). Compared with the DM group, the gray matter volume (GMV) in the DPN group was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with the DM group, amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF) of left medial superiorfrontal gyrus in the PDN group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion Abnormal GMV in the left angular gyrus in DPN patients may be associated with a higher risk of concomitant cognitive impairment. The decrease of ALFF in the right cerebellar vermis and fALFF in the left medial superior frontal gyrus in PDN patients may be related to the pathogenesis of pain.

Objective:To evaluate changes in operational effectiveness after the implementation of ambulatory surgical management in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. 17 528 surgeries in 10 895 eyes of 10 895 patients who underwent minimally invasive PPV on an ambulatory and/or inpatient basis at Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from August 2015 to June 2023 were included in this study. Among them, 5 346 eyes in 5 346 cases were male; 5 549 eyes in 5 549 cases were female. The age ranged from 0 to 95 years, with the mean age of (57.74±13.15) years. 6 381 surgeries in 3 615 eyes from August 2015 to December 2018 (the initial period of day surgery) were used as the control group; 11 147 surgeries in 7 280 eyes from January 2019 to June 2023 (the expanded period of day surgery) were used as the observation group. According to the management mode of ambulatory surgery, the observation group was subdivided into the decentralized management group (January 2019 to December 2020) and the centralized management group (January 2021 to June 2023), with 2 905 and 4 375 eyes and 4 646 and 6 501 surgeries, respectively. Changes in the percentage of day surgery, average hospitalization days, and average unplanned reoperation rate were compared. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare numerical variables between groups; the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used to compare categorical variables. Results:The number of cases of daytime PPV performed in the observation group and control group was 7 852 (70.44%, 7 852/11 147) and 24 (0.38%, 24/6 381) cases, respectively, and the average hospitalization days were 1 (1) and 5 (3) d. Compared with the control group, the observation group had a significantly higher percentage of day surgery ( χ2=8 051.01) and a considerably lower mean hospitalization day ( Z=4 536 844.50), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.000 1). The mean hospitalization days in the decentralized and centralized management groups were 2 (3) and 1 (0) d, respectively, and unplanned reoperations were 34 (0.73%, 34/4 646) and 171 (2.63%, 171/6 501) eyes, respectively. Compared with the decentralized management group, average hospitalization days was significantly lower ( Z=1 436.94) and unplanned reoperation rate was significantly higher ( χ2=54.10) were significantly lower in the centralized management group, both of which were statistically significant ( P<0.000 1). Conclusion:PPV ambulatory management model can significantly reduce the average hospitalization day, but also results in higher rates of unplanned reoperations.

Objective To explore the comparative application of phase and diaphragmatic navigation in three-dimensional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(3D-MRCP)thin-layer scanning in elderly patients.Methods A total of 180 elderly patients were scanned by phase and diaphragmatic navigation via Siemens Aera1.5T superconducting MR scanner.The acquired images were reconstructed by 3D reconstruction.The anatomical structure,image quality and disease diagnosis were compared between the phase and diaphragmatic navigation groups.Results In liver of anatomy,the liver of primary bile duct,the superior,middle and inferior extrahepatic bile duct and the gallbladder could be well displayed,and the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups(P＞0.05).The display of pancreatic duct and the liver of secondary bile duct of diaphragmatic navigation was significantly better than those of phase navigation(P＜0.05).In terms of image quality,the excellent rate of diaphragmatic navigation was significantly higher than that of phase navigation,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the detection rate of pancreatobiliary system diseases,the diagnostic rate of cholelithiasis,common bile duct stones,common bile duct dilatation and pancreatic duct dilatation between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Diaphragmatic navigation is signifi-cantly better than phase navigation in the display of the anatomical structure of the pancreatic duct,the liver of secondary bile duct,and the excellent rate of image quality.Diaphragmatic navigation is more suitable for thin-layer 3D-MRCP scanning in elderly patients.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.
