OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of dapagliflozin on contrast-induced acute kidney injury （CIAKI） and prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） and acute coronary syndrome （ACS） who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. METHODS Retrospective selection of data on T2DM patients with ACS who underwent PCI treatment in the Cardiology Department of Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 1st 2021 to December 31st 2022. The patients were divided into dapagliflozin group （96 cases） and control group （148 cases） based on whether they received dapagliflozin or not. Renal function indicators were measured for all enrolled patients before PCI and at 48 h and 1 week after PCI， including blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， serum creatinine （Scr）， estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR）， cystatin-C （Cys-C）， kidney injury molecule-1 （KIM-1） and β2-microglobulin （β2-MG）. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year. The incidence of CIAKI and major adverse cardiac event （MACE） during follow-up were recorded for both groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on the occurrence of CIAKI， while the Log-rank test was applied to compare the incidence of MACE between the two groups. Cox regression was employed to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on prognosis. RESULTS At 48 h and 1 week after PCI， serum levels of Cys-C， KIM-1 and β2-MG were significantly lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of CIAKI was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （6.25% vs. 14.86%， P＝0.042）. Logistic regression analysis revealed that dapagliflozin was an independent protective factor against CIAKI （OR＝0.280， 95%CI 0.101-0.780，P＝0.015）. During the follow-up period， the incidence of MACE was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （7.29% vs. 17.57%， P＝0.049）. Cox regression analysis indicated that dapagliflozin reduced the occurrence of MACE after PCI （HR＝0.374， 95%CI 0.161-0.866， P＝0.022）. CONCLUSIONS With adequate hydration， the use of dapagliflozin does not increase the risk of CIAKI following PCI in T2DM patients with ACS.

[Objective] To investigate the effects of advanced male age on the incidence of polyspermy fertilization. [Methods] The study involved data of 4210 in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles treated in our center during Jan.2016 and Sep.2022, including 4053 patients younger than 40 years and 157 patients above 40 years.After propensity score matching, 152 patients in the advance group and 421 in the young group were recruited.The baseline data and the difference in polyspermy fertilization rate were compared between the two groups. [Results] After propensity score matching, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of female age, infertility type, infertility years, infertility factors, female body mass index (BMI), male BMI, semen volume, semen pH value, sperm concentration, sperm motility, progressive motility rate, percentage of normal sperm morphology, number of fertilized eggs and number of MⅡ eggs (P>0.05). Among the 573 fresh IVF cycles, the rate of 3 PN cycles was 35.5%, and the incidence of polyspermy fertilization was 6.5%.There were no significant differences in the number of polyspermy fertilized eggs, transferable embryos, high-quality embryos, and blastocysts between the two groups. [Conclusion] Advanced male age has no significant effect on the incidence of polyspermy fertilization.

Objective:To explore the age of onset and consultation, the main clinical manifestations, common types of combined malformations, the relationship of endometriosis, surgical prognosis and different types of proportion of adolescent female reproductive system dysplasia.Methods:The medical records of 356 patients (aged 10-19) with female reproductive system dysplasia in Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2003 to August 2018 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results:(1) Among the 356 adolescent dysplasia patients, uterine dysplasia (23.6%, 84/356), oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS; 22.5%, 80/356) and vaginal dysplasia (21.6%, 77/356) were the most frequent ones, followed by multi-sectional dysplasia (16.0%, 57/356), other types of developmental abnormalities like external genitaliaand urogenital fistula (13.5%, 48/356) and Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome; 2.8%, 10/356). (2) There were significant differences between the median age of onset and the age of consultation of patients with OVSS and other types of abnormalities except hymen atresia (both P<0.05). In contrast, there were no significant differences between the age of onset and the age of consultation of the patients of uterine dysplasia, vaginal dysplasia, hymen atresia, MRKH syndrome and multi-sectional dysplasia (all P>0.05). (3) The clinical manifestations were lack of specificity, and mainly abnormal finding was lower abdominal pain. (4) After admission, the majority of patients underwent comprehensive cardiopulmonary examination (71.3%, 254/356) and urinary system examination (63.5%, 226/356). Only 18.3% (65/356) of patients had completed abdominal organ examination, and 5.9% (21/356) skeletal system examination. About other systemic malformations, urological malformations were the most common (27.5%, 98/356), followed by anorectal malformation (0.6%, 2/356), heart malformations (0.3%, 1/356), and spinal malformations (0.3%, 1/356). 46.4% (84/181) of the surgical patients were diagnosed with combined endometriosis. Patients with obstructive genital tract malformations were more likely to combine with endometriosis than non-obstructive ones [50.3% (74/147) vs 29.4% (10/34); P<0.05]. However, there was no significant difference between the severity of endometriosis of those two kinds ( P>0.05). (5) Totally 308 patients were followed up successfully with a median of 25.0 years old, and 20 cases were treated again; 12.0% (37/308) of them were suffering from menstrual disorder and 33.1% (102/308) of them with dysmenorrhea. Totally 130 patients had sexually active reported no sexual problems. Conclusions:Uterine dysplasia, OVSS and vaginal dysplasia are the most common syndromes in adolescent female reproductive system dysplasia along with frequent cases of coexisting urinary malformations and increasing risks of endometriosis. Meanwhile, the lack of specificity of clinical manifestations might delay the timely diagnosis and treatment after the onset of symptoms. Nonetheless, most patients could achieve good surgical outcomes.

Objective:To describe disability rates of dementia in community residents aged 65 years and over in China,and explore related risk factors of disability.Methods:This study conducted an in-depth data analysis of the China Mental Health Survey.World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0(WHODAS 2.0)was used to assess dementia disability,Community Screening Interview for Dementia(CSID)and Geriatric Mental Status Examination(GMS)were used for dementia screening and diagnosing.Univariate analysis was used to calcu-late the weighted disability rates of dementia in population and in patients,and their population distribution.Multiple linear regression and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of the occurrence of dementia disability and its severity.Results:The weighted disability rate of dementia was 2.1％in population,and 38.6％in pa-tients.The disability rates of comorbid dementia in population and in patients were higher than those of patients with only dementia.Female,older age,lower education level,lower economic status,and lower cognitive test scores in CSID had higher disability rates of dementia in population.Female and urban resident had higher disability rates of dementia in patients.Multiple linear regression showed economic status(β=0.11),gender(β=0.11),age(β=0.10),and treatment in the last 12 months(β=-0.20)were statistically associated with WHODAS 2.0 scores.Multiple logistic regression showed female(OR=2.81)and treatment in the last 12 months(OR=2.38)were statistically associated with disability.Conclusions:Persons with low economic status,female and elderly peo-ple are the high-risk groups for dementia disability.It should be paid attention to prevent dementia and its conse-quential disabilities.

Objective:To explore the early predictive value of amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG) combined with general movements（GMs）assessment for motor development outcomes in infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia at 12 months of age.Methods:The clinical data of 125 cases of neonates with severe hyperbilirubinaemia admitted to the NICU at Inner Mongolia Medical University Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The aEEG were performed within 24 h of admission；GMs assessment were carried out at the duration of hospital stay，when the serum bilirubin values decreased below phototherapy intervention value and the infant was stable. The patients were regularly followed-up until one-year-old to evaluate the predictive values by Griffiths Developmental Scale.Results:A total of 125 infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia were enrolled，including 82（65.6%）males and 73（58.4%）females，with the mean gestational age of（38.1±1.5）weeks，the mean birth weight of（3 169±573）g，and the mean serum bilirubin of（378.5±51.9）μmol/L. Of the 125 infants diagnosed by Griffiths assessment at the age of 12 months，normal in 86 cases（68.8%），and abnormal in 39 cases（31.2%）. GMs writhing phase assessment had a sensitivity of 100%, negative predictive value of 100% and specificity of 19.77% in predicting motor developmental outcome in neonates with severe hyperbilirubinaemia. The aEEG had a sensitivity of 92.31% and a negative predictive value of 94.92% in predicting motor developmental outcome in neonates with severe hyperbilirubinaemia, with a higher specificity of 65.12%. The sensitivity and negative predictive value of aEEG+GMs assessment for predicting motor developmental outcome in neonates with severe hyperbilirubinaemia were 87.18% and 92.42%, respectively, with the highest specificity of 70.93%.Conclusion:GMs writhing stage assessment, aEEG assessment, and aEEG combined with GMs early assessment have good predictive value for motor developmental outcomes in neonates with severe hyperbilirubinaemia.The aEEG combined with GMs assessment has a high specificity, which can improve the predictive effect of motor developmental outcomes in neonates with hyperbilirubinaemia.

OBJECTIVE To explore the self precipitation source of Erhuang powder, determine the content of related components and its efficacy on HeLa cells. METHODS Bifurcation study to identify the main compatibility of precipitating. The self precipitation, supernatant and extract of Erhuang powder were analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Exactive MS. The main compounds in Coptidis Rhizoma and Catechu, catechin, epicatechin, epicberberine, coptisine, berberine and palmatine were selected as controls. A analysis method of UHPLC for self precipitation, supernatant and extract of Erhuang powder was established and the related components were quantitatively determined. The effects of self precipitation, supernatant and extract on HeLa cells were evaluated by MTT method and flow cytometry. RESULTS A slight flocculation precipitate appeared when the decoction of Erhuang powder was mixed in pairs, while a large amount of flocculation appeared when the decoction of Coptidis Rhizoma and Catechu water was mixed. The self precipitation, supernatant and extract samples contained 39 compounds, which were mainly alkaloids and phenolic acids. The contents of catechin and berberine in the 6 index components were mostly, which accounted for 73.56% of the total content of the index components in self precipitation and 61.89% of the total content of the index components in extract. Inhibition effect on HeLa cells: extract ≈ self precipitation > supernatant, and inducing apoptosis: self precipitate ≈ extract, supernatant had no apoptosis-inducing effect. CONCLUSION Coptidis Rhizoma-Catechu is the main compatible formula for precipitation formation. The self precipitation and extracts of Erhuang powder are mainly alkaloids and phenolic acids, among which berberine and catechin are high in content and can be used as representative components. The effect of self-precipitation and extract on HeLa cells was better than that of supernatant. This basically indicates that the self precipitation components and pharmacological effects of Erhuang powder are similar to those of the extract.

Elderly patients are often complicated with a variety of underlying diseases.Because aging can impact the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs,and affect the immune effect,conventional anti-tumor treatment modes such as radiotherapy,chemotherapy,targeted therapy,or immunization,can not achieve optimal efficacy.Comprehensive geriatric assess-ment(CGA)is a multi-dimensional and multidisciplinary diagnostic process,which is currently regarded as the core of the as-sessment of elderly patients with cancer.By utilizing a variety of tools and scales,comprehensive assessment of elderly patients with cancer can facilitate early intervention,guide reasonable treatment,increase the chances of benefit,and improve the quality of life for some elderly patients.Moreover,CGA can help reasonably allocate medical resources and reduce the economic burden on the community.

Objective To investigate the impact of silymarin(SM)on the malignant growth of glioma cells and the regulatory mechanism on the miR-124-3p/WEE1 axis.Methods Glioma U87 cells were grouped into control,SM low,medium,and high concentration groups,and SM high concentration + miR-124-3p inhibitor group(SM high + miR-124-3p inhibitor group).CCK-8 was used to measure the proli-feration rate of cells;Transwell? assay was applied to assay the migration and invasion of cells;cell cycle progression was detected by flow cytometry;Western blotting was applied to measure the expression of cyclin D1 and apoptosis-related proteins;the levels of miR-124-3p and WEE1 mRNA were determined by qRT-PCR;and a luciferase activity test was applied to verify the targeting relationship between miR-124-3p and WEE1;in addition,the establishment,administration,and analysis of a NOD/SCID mouse model of intracranial trans-planted tumor were conducted.Results Compared with the control group,the cell proliferation,the numbers of migrating and invading cells,the expression of cyclin D1,and the level of WEE1 mRNA in the various SM treatment groups decreased,the number of cells in G0/G1 phase,the expression of cleaved caspase-8,cleaved caspase-9,cleaved caspase-3 and miR-124-3p increased(P＜0.05);furthermore,transfection of miR-124-3p inhibitor reversed the inhibitory effect of SM on the malignant behavior of glioma cells.In vivo experiments with mice showed that the weights and volumes of tumors in the SM treatment group were lower than those in the model group(P＜0.05),and there was no discernible change in the weight of the mice(P＞0.05).Conclusion SM can inhibit the malignant growth of glioma cells by upregulating miR-124-3p and downregulating WEE1.

BACKGROUND:Accurate reduction of ankle fractures under direct vision has become a common understanding among foot and ankle surgeons.How to fully expose free or compressed fragments of the posterior ankle remains one of the most challenging problems. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficiency of the para-Achilles tendon approach in exposing and repositioning the posterior malleolus sandwich fracture. METHODS:A retrospective study was made for 26 patients with posterior malleolus sandwich fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation via para-Achilles tendon approach from January to December 2020 in The Second People's Hospital of Dalian.21 of 26 cases were managed with the lateral approach of Achilles tendon and 5 cases were managed with the medial approach of Achilles tendon.There were 19 males and 7 females,with the age of 24-69 years,averagely 38.6 years.The operation time and postoperative complications were recorded.The fracture reduction condition was evaluated by Burwell-Charnley imaging standard.Before operation,3 months after operation and last follow-up,visual analog scale score,ankle plantar flexion and dorsiflexion and American Orthopedic Foot&Ankle Society Ankle Hind Score were used to evaluate the treatment effect. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All 26 patients were followed up for an average of 14.6 months(range 13-18 months).The operation time was 52-85 minutes(average 64.2 minutes).(2)Part of the skin edge of the lateral malleolus incision was necrotic in one patient and healed completely after a dressing change.Incision healing of the other patients was in one stage.(3)Through Burwell-Charnley imaging standard,anatomical reductions were obtained in 24 of 26,and good reductions were in 2 of 26,with an excellent and good rate of 100%.(4)At the last follow-up,the visual analog scale score(1.19±0.40)was significantly lower than the preoperative score(6.81±0.80)(P<0.01).Ankle plantar flexion(33.5±5.02)° and ankle plantar back stretch(17.23±0.99)° were significantly increased compared with preoperative data(14.58±2.50)° and(5.81±1.02)°(P<0.01).American Orthopedic Foot&Ankle Society Ankle Hind Score was improved to(89.31±3.62)points compared to preoperative(46.00±5.45)points(P<0.01).The results were excellent in 23 patients and good in 3 patients,with an excellent and good rate of 100%.(5)It is concluded that the open reduction and internal fixation via the para-Achilles tendon approach for the treatment of posterior malleolus sandwich fracture were efficient with decreased operation time,satisfying fracture reduction,fewer complications,satisfactory motion range,and functional recovery.
