Objective:To investigate the onset time distribution and influential factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction (ACI) with different body mass index (BMI) levels.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect clinical data from 1 000 patients with AMI who received treatment at Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital from January 2016 to November 2022. The patients were divided into groups based on different BMI levels: < 18.5 kg/m 2 group ( n = 49), 18.5-24 kg/m 2 group ( n = 369), > 24-28 kg/m 2 group ( n = 338), and > 28 kg/m 2 group ( n = 244). The incidence of AMI was analyzed among patients with different BMI levels as per diurnal variation, seasonality, and weekday. Results:A total of 1 000 patients were included in this study, including 648 men and 352 women. The mean age of these patients was 65 years (range 56-74 years). The median body mass was 70 kg (range 60-76 kg), the median height was 1.69 m (range 1.60-1.72 m), and the median BMI was 24.49 kg/m 2 (range 22.22-26.79 kg/m 2). The onset time of AMI differed significantly among patients with different BMI levels in terms of the period from 0:00 to 5:59, winter, and Wednesday ( P = 0.047, 0.029, 0.005). Among all samples, the number of patients with a BMI of 18.5-24 kg/m 2 was the highest, reaching 369 cases. Conclusion:The incidence of AMI in patients with different BMI levels exhibits a regular distribution as per diurnal variation, seasonality, and weekday.

Objective:To establish a prediction model of risk factors for early Q-T interval prolongation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which helps prevent and reduce the occurrence of acute malignant events.Methods:This is a case-control study. A total of 100 patients with Q-T interval prolongation after AMI who received treatment at Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were included in this study. An additional 100 patients without Q-T interval prolongation after AMI who concurrently received treatment in the same hospital were also included in this study. Two model groups, including model group 1 (with Q-T interval prolongation, n = 50) and model group 2 (without Q-T interval prolongation, n = 50), and two test groups, including test group 1 (with Q-T interval prolongation, n = 50) and test group 2 (without Q-T interval prolongation, n = 50), were designated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to construct a prediction model of risk factors for Q-T interval prolongation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was determined to evaluate the prediction model. The value of the prediction model was validated in the test groups. Results:Multivariate logistic regression showed that female gender ( OR = 2.307, 95% CI: 0.09-0.91, P = 0.041) and heart failure ( OR = 3.087, 95% CI: 1.15-8.27, P = 0.025) were independent risk factors for early Q-T interval prolongation after AMI. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the prediction model was 0.770, with a sensitivity of 84.0%, a specificity of 66.0%, the Jordan index of 0.44, and the corresponding optimal critical value of 0.43. This indicates good fit of the model. Conclusion:Female gender and heart failure are independent risk factors for early Q-T interval prolongation after AMI. The model constructed based on the above-mentioned risk factors fits well and has a high predictive value, which helps reduce the occurrence of early Q-T interval prolongation after AMI.

Objective To analyze the impact of different clinical and rehabilitation characteristics on the prognosis of diabetic foot amputees. Methods Related literatures were searched in CNKI,Wanfang Data,PubMed,Cochrane Library and Google Scholar from establishment to August,2024.The literatures were screened and extracted by two researchers independent-ly,the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale(NOS)and the evaluation criteria recommended by Agency for Healthcare Re-search and Quality(US)were used for quality evaluation,and literatures with above medium quality were includ-ed,and a systematic review was conducted. Results A total of 17 articles involving 9 239 subjects were included,in which three were Chinese,and 14 were English.The study designs were case-control study,cohort study and cross-sectional study.They mainly came from the fields of rehabilitation medicine,orthopedics,sports medicine and disability studies,and were published between 1998 to 2023.Clinical and rehabilitation characteristics related to the prognosis of diabetic foot amputees includ-ed amputation level,socioeconomic determinants(educational attainment,economic status,social participation,etc.),psychological states(anxiety,depression,etc.)and physiological factors(age,gender,pain,prosthetic limb usage,and ambulatory capacity,etc.).These different characteristics could affect the quality of life of diabetic foot amputees,and even lead to re-amputation or death. Conclusion Factors of amputation level,socioeconomic status,psychological status and physiological status are impor-tant for poor prognosis in diabetic foot amputees.Controlling the above factors can effectively reduce the re-am-putation rate and mortality,and improve the quality of life in diabetic foot amputees,thus improving their progno-sis,and promoting functional rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate whether recombinant Newcastle disease virus(rL-RVG)induces iron death in gastric cancer cells through Nrf2-GCLC-GPX4 pathway.Methods After human gastric cancer HGC-27 cells were treated with rL-RVG,Newcastle disease virus(NDV)and PBS solution(control group),respectively,cell proliferation,invasion and migration were detected by CCK-8 assay and Transwell invasion assay and cell scratch test.Ferroptosis accelerator(erastin),and nuclear factor E2 related factor 2(Nrf2)accelerator(TBHQ)and inhibitor(ML385)were added respectively as controls.The content of malondialdehyde(MDA)in each treatment group was detected by lipid oxidation kit.The content of reactive oxygen species(ROS)was detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe and flow cytometry.Western blotting and immunofluorescence assay were employed to measure the expression levels of Nrf2-GCLC-GPX4 pathway related proteins.Results Compared with the control group,the survival rate of HGC-27 cells were significantly decreased after rL-RVG and NDV treatment in a dose-and time-dependent manner,and the effect was more significant in the rL-RVG treatment group(P＜0.05).The migration and invasion abilities of HGC-27 cells were obviously inhibited in the NDV and rL-RVG treatment groups,and the latter had more notable inhibition than the former.The protein levels of Nrf2,GCLC,SLC7A11 and GPX4 were statistically decreased(P＜0.05),and the contents of MDA and ROS were increased(P＜0.05)in the virus treatment groups than the control group,with the increasing or decreasing trend more significant in the rL-RVG group than the NDV group.What's more,the protein levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were decreased in the erastin group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,those of Nrf2,GCLC,SLC7A11 and GPX4 were increased in the TBHQ group and decreased in the ML385 group(P＜0.05),while the contents of MDA and ROS were decreased and increased respectively in the above 2 groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the rL-RVG group,the rL-RVG+TBHQ group and rL-RVG+ML385 group had enhanced and reduced protein expressio of Nrf2,GCLC,SLC7A11 and GPX4,respectively(P＜0.05),while the contents of MDA and ROS were in opposite trends(P＜0.05).Conclusion rL-RVG can induce ferroptosis of gastric cancer cells through Nrf2-GCLC-GPX4 pathway,and then inhibit the growth of tumor cells.

Objective To investigate the role of sodium-hyaluronate-modified calcium peroxide nanoparticles(SH-CaO2 NPs)in inducing pyroptosis in human gastric cancer cells and its possible mechanisms.Methods Transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),infrared spectroscopy,and zeta potential test were used to confirm the synthesis of SH-CaO2 NPs.Cell scratch assay and CCK-8 assay were employed to observe the impacts of SH-CaO2 NPs on the migration and proliferation of human gastric cancer cell line HGC-27.The generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)was observed with confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM)and quantified with flow cytometry in the cells after SH-CaO2 NPs treatment or with pretreatment with ROS inhibitor NAC.Furthermore,the effects of pretreatment of NLRP3 inhibitor(MCC950)and Caspase-1 inhibitor(VX765)on the proliferative activity and on expression of their own and their downstream GSDMD in HGC-27 cells were also investigated with CCK-8 assay,immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting.Results TEM images,XRD,infrared spectroscopy,and zeta potential test confirmed the successful preparation of SH-CaO2 NPs.Cell scratch assay and CCK-8 assay showed that application of SH-CaO2 NPs for 24 h significantly inhibited the proliferation of HGC-27 cells(P＜0.001),while,CLSM and flow cytometry indicated the treatment also promoted the production of ROS(P＜0.001).Pretreatment of ROS inhibitor NAC resulted in up-regulation of NLRP3,and increased expression levels of cleaved Caspase-1 and N-terminal fragment of GSDMD(P＜0.001),while pretreatment of both NLRP3 inhibitor and Caspase-1 inhibitor could reverse the process.Conclusion SH-CaO2 NPs inhibit cell viability of human gastric cancer,which may mediate the inflammatory response and pyroptosis by activating the ROS/NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway.

The impact of various anterior cervical surgeries on biomechanical properties of cervical vertebrae varies depending on the specific surgical techniques employed.However,accurately measuring the mechanical characteristics of individual parts of the cervical vertebrae or implants within them in a clinical setting can be challenging.As a result,the finite element method is commonly utilized in studies on anterior cervical surgery,allowing for the precise analysis of stress and strain distributions in different areas of interest through computer simulations.This method facilitates the study of biomechanical properties associated with different anterior cervical surgical approaches.This review discusses the progress of finite element analysis in anterior cervical surgery,summarizes current research findings on fusion and non-fusion procedures,hybrid surgeries,and minimally invasive techniques,so as to provide theoretical references for the selection of different anterior cervical surgical interventions from a biomechanical perspective.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Epilepsy is a common and severe brain disease affecting >65 million people worldwide. Recent studies have shown that kinesin superfamily motor protein 17 (KIF17) is expressed in neurons and is involved in regulating the dendrite-targeted transport of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B (NR2B). However, the effect of KIF17 on epileptic seizures remains to be explored. We found that KIF17 was mainly expressed in neurons and that its expression was increased in epileptic brain tissue. In the kainic acid (KA)-induced epilepsy mouse model, KIF17 overexpression increased the severity of epileptic activity, whereas KIF17 knockdown had the opposite effect. In electrophysiological tests, KIF17 regulated excitatory synaptic transmission, potentially due to KIF17-mediated NR2B membrane expression. In addition, this report provides the first demonstration that KIF17 is modified by SUMOylation (SUMO, small ubiquitin-like modifier), which plays a vital role in the stabilization and maintenance of KIF17 in epilepsy.

Objective:To investigate the static and dynamic trends of scientific research efficiency of the critical care medicine in hospitals affiliated S university during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.Methods:Based on the scientific research data of 16 hospitals affiliated to Beijing S University from 2014 to 2020, the scientific research investment funds and the number of physicians involved in scientific research were selected as input evaluation indexes, and the number of science citation index (SCI) papers, Chinese science citation database (CSCD) papers, and the number of masters and doctors trained were selected as output evaluation indexes, and the evaluation index system of scientific research efficiency of critical care medicine was constructed. SPSS version 23.0 software was used for descriptive data statistics, and data envelopment analysis (DEA)-BCC model and DEA-Malmquist index model of DEAP 2.1 software were used for static and dynamic evaluation of its scientific research efficiency from 2016 to 2020, respectively.Results:① The scientific research technical efficiency (TE) of critical care medicine in 16 hospitals affiliated with S universities varied greatly from 2016 to 2020, but pure technical efficiency (PTE) and scale efficiency (SE) were at a good level, and 6-11 affiliated hospitals in critical care medicine kept DEA effective for 5 consecutive years. ② Dynamic analysis of their total factor productivity (TFP) of scientific research from 2016 to 2020 showed a trend of rising and then falling and then rising again. The mean value was 0.985. The technical efficiency change (TEC) showed a decreasing and then increasing trend, and the technical progress change (TC) showed a slow increasing and then decreasing trend, with a mean value of 0.953. While the mean values of TEC, pure technical efficiency change (PTEC) and scale efficiency change (SEC) were above 1, which showed that the growth of total factor productivity index of research and innovation depended more on the technical efficiency index.Conclusions:The "gain effect" and "catch-up effect" of scientific research efficiency in the specialty of critical care medicine in hospitals affiliated S universities are obvious, but the "growth effect" is not obvious. "Although the research efficiency of the 13th Five-Year Plan period has been significantly improved, there is still much room for improvement in scientific and technological innovation and international academic influence.
