Objective To explore the effects of alpha-mangostin(α-MG)on the in vitro osteoarthritis(OA)in rat chondrocytes induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and the M1 polarization of macrophages.Methods An in vitro OA model of rat chondrocytes was induced by LPS.Both rat chondrocytes and macrophages were divided into the control group(normal culture),LPS group(stimulated with 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 hours),LPS+α-MG group(stimulated with 40 μmol/L α-MG combined with 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 hours),LPS+α-MG si-NC group(transfected with 70 μg/mL si-NC and stimulated with 40 μmol/L α-MG and 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 hours),and LPS+α-MG+si-BDNF group(transfected with 70 μg/mL si-BDNF and stimulated with 40 μmol/L α-MG and 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 hours).CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferative viability of chondrocytes and macrophages in each group,and flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of chondrocytes and the polarization of macrophages.ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α of chondrocytes in each group.Western blot was used to detect the expression of BDNF,PI3K,and Akt in chondrocytes and macrophages.Results In chondrocytes,compared with the control group,the LPS group had decreased cell proliferation rate,increased cell apoptosis rate,down-regulated expression of BDNF,PI3K and Akt proteins,and up-regulated levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0.05);compared with the LPS group,the LPS+α-MG group showed increased cell proliferation rate,decreased cell apoptosis rate,up-regulated expression of BDNF,PI3K and Akt proteins,and down-regulated levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0.05);compared with the LPS+α-MG+si-NC group,the LPS+α-MG si-BDNF group demonstrated decreased cell proliferation rate,increased cell apoptosis rate,down-regulated expression of BDNF,PI3K and Akt proteins,and increased levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0.05).In macrophages,compared with the control group,the LPS group had decreased cell proliferation rate,increased proportion of M1 cells,and down-regulated expression of BDNF,PI3K and Akt proteins(P<0.05);compared with the LPS group,the LPS+α-MG group showed increased cell proliferation rate,decreased proportion of M1 cells,and up-regulated expression of BDNF,PI3K and Akt proteins(P<0.05);compared with the LPS+α-MG+si-NC group,the LPS+α-MG+si-BDNF group showed decreased cell proliferation rate,increased proportion of M1 cells,and down-regulated expression of BDNF,PI3K and Akt proteins(P<0.05).Conclusion α-MG inhibits the M1 polarization of macrophages to improve the apoptosis and inflammation of rat chondrocytes by activating the BDNF/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To construct an operational indicator system for infectious disease monitoring and early warning,and provide data support and decision-making basis for monitoring and early warning.Methods A preli-minary indicator framework was constructed through literature analysis and expert interviews,and expert consultation was conducted using the Delphi method.A total of 30 experts were selected.The score of the importance of indica-tors based on the consultation results was calculated,and the weight was determined.Results The response rates of expert consultation questionnaires from two rounds were both 100％,with expert authority coefficients(reliabili-ty coefficient)being 0.87 and 0.88 for the first and second rounds,respectively.Kendall's W coefficients ranged from 0.137 to 0.424,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.001).Coefficients of variation for all indi-cators were＜0.25,indicating that expert opinions tend to be consistent and the results were authoritative and relia-ble.The finally constructed indicator system encompassed 4 first-level,25 second-level,and 68 third-level indica-tors.Conclusion The operational indicator system for infectious disease monitoring and early warning developed in this study can provide a basis for the practice of infectious disease monitoring and early warning as well as related scientific decision-making.

Objective To analyze the dual-channel with single channel recorded somatosensory evoked potentials(SSEPs)monitoring in the thoracic vertebral disease that underwent surgical fixation surgery waveform differentiation and evaluate the value of dual-channel SSEPs applied in thoracic surgery diseases.Methods The study included 135 patients who underwent surgery for thoracic vertebra disease in Xi'an Honghui hospital from November 2019 to November 2023.Of them,66 underwent conventional single-channel SSEPs monitoring and 69 underwent dual-channel SSEPs monitoring.By observing the waveform differentiation of single-channel SSEPs and dual-channel SSEPs,Chi-square test and Fisher exact test were used to analyze the influences of age and etiological classification on the waveform differentiation and monitoring success rate of SSEPs.The success rate of intraoperative monitoring and the incidence of postoperative adverse events in alarm cases were compared between the two groups.Results Univariate analysis showed that age group and etiological classification of thoracic vertebral diseases affected the success rate of intraoperative SSEPs monitoring.Among the etiological classification,the SSEPs waveform differentiation in fracture group was the least ideal.Intraoperative monitoring results showed that the success rate of single-channel SSEPs monitoring was 80.30％,while the success rate of dual-channel SSEPS monitoring was 98.55％(P＜0.05).In the intraoperative alarm cases,the incidence of postoperative adverse events monitored by single-channel SSEPs was 66.67％;the incidence of adverse events after dual-channel SSEPs monitoring was 33.33％.Conclusion The age of patients and etiological type of thoracic spine diseases affect the success rate of intraoperative SSEPs monitoring.Dual-channel SSEPs monitoring can effectively and accurately evaluate the function of patients with posterior spinal cord conduction pathway.Using dual-channel SSEPs monitoring can significantly improve the success rate of monitoring and reduce the occurrence of postoperative adverse events in patients with thoracic vertebra disease.

Objective:To analyze the application value of the Health Action Process Approach(HAPA)model in re-habilitation exercise intervention of patients with supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.Methods:We enrolled clinical data of 117 patients diagnosed as supraventricular tachyarrhythmia in Xinzhou District People's Hospital of Wuhan between February 2019 and January 2023.They were divided into routine group(n=57)and HAPA model group(n=60)according to different intervention method.Participants in routine group received routine rehabilitation exer-cise,while those in HAPA model group received HAPA model rehabilitation exercise.Both groups were intervened for 6 months.Cardiac function,medication compliance[Morisky medication adherence scale(MMAS-8)],daily living capacity(Barthel index),quality of life[the short-form 36 health survey(SF-36)],total effective rate of intervention,incidence of adverse events within 6-month follow-up were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with patients in routine group,those in HAPA model group had significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(56.75±1.13)％vs.(52.65±1.57)％],Barthel index[(65.60±9.76)points vs.(56.37±9.98)points],MMAS-8 score[(6.73±1.83)points vs.(4.91±1.33)points],SF-36 total score[(67.50±15.25)points vs.(55.28±9.05)points]and total effective rate(88.33％ vs.71.93％)(P＜0.01 all),and signifi-cant lower left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV)[(54.97±2.60)ml vs.(64.61±2.50)ml],left ventric-ular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV)[(117.50±4.23)ml vs.(133.38±4.47)ml]and incidence of adverse events within 6-month follow-up(5.00％ vs.22.81％)(P＜0.01 all).Conclusion:Rehabilitation exercise based on HAPA model could significantly improve cardiac function,medication compliance,daily living capacity and quality of life with good safety in patients with supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.

Objective To investigate whether successful percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)could improve symptoms and quality of life(QOL)in left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients with diabetes.Methods Patients with left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease who underwent PCI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from April 2018 to May 2021 were consecutively enrolled and subdivided into 2 groups:diabetes and no diabetes.Detailed baseline characteristics,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,assessed with the Rose dyspnea scale(RDS),Seattle angina questionnaire(SAQ),the European quality of life-5 dimensions(EQ-5D)and 12-item short-form health survey(SF-12)questionnaire respectively,procedural details,and 1 month and 1 year follow-up data were collected.Results Among 440 left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients,disease was present in 176(40.00％),who had more hypertension,peripheral artery disease,and LCX lesion(all P＜0.05).The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)and all-cause mortality were similar between the two groups(both P＞0.05)at 1 month follow-up,while all-cause mortality in diabetes patients was significantly higher than those without diabetes at 1 year follow-up(P=0.013).Low left ventricular ejection fraction was an independent risk factor for MACE and all-cause mortality at 1 month and 1 year follow-up after successful revascularization(all P＜0.05).Most importantly,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,and QOL were markedly improved regardless of diabetes both at 1 month and 1 year follow-up(all P＜0.05).Diabetes patients showed improved dyspnea and QOL at similar degree to the non-diabetes patients(all P＞0.05)and a more significantly relieved angina(P=0.013).Additionally,the number of chronic total occlusion(CTO)per patient was identified as an independent risk factor of dyspnea(OR 0.723,95％CI 0.525～0.997,P=0.048)and angina relief(OR 0.686,95％CI 0.473～0.995,P=0.047),and the contrast volume(OR 0.995,95％CI 0.992～0.999,P=0.008)as an independent risk factor of QOL improvement in diabetic patients.Conclusions Successful PCI is beneficial for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life in patients with diabetes who have left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease.

Objective To investigate correlations of the ratio of specific brain region volume to total brain volume(ratio％),standard uptake value(SUV)of specific brain region based on 18F-FDG PET/MR examination in Alzheimer disease(AD)patients,as well as the relationship between changes of these two.Methods Fifty AD patients were retrospectively collected.Based on FDG PET/MR,the ratio％and the mean SUV(SUVmean)of 40 specific brain regions were obtained,and the correlation between ratio％and SUVmean for each region were evaluated.According to a database of normal brains,Z-scores for ratio％and SUVmean were calculated to represent structural and functional changes in AD patients,and the correlation between these 2 Z-scores was assessed.Results Correlations were found between ratio％and SUVmean,also between Z-scores of these two parameters in 29 brain regions(r=0.288 to 0.778,all P＜0.05).Among them 7 brain regions,i.e.bilateral middle temporal gyrus,right fusiform gyrus,right hippocampus,right precuneus,left lingual gyrus and right parahippocampal gyrus exhibited correlation coefficients greater than 0.6.Conclusion There were some relationships between brain structural and metabolic functions and their changes in AD patients showed on FDG PET/MR.

Objective:This multicenter retrospective study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) and identify prognostic factors for postoperative survival.Methods:Demographic characteristics, clinicopathological features, treatment outcomes and survival of DA patients undergoing surgical treatment at 18 Chinese medical centers from January 2012 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 2 056 DA patients included, 46.8% (963) had extra-ampullary DA (EA-DA), and 53.2% (1 093) had peri-ampullary DA (PA-DA). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for patients who underwent radical surgery were 93.2%, 71.0%, and 57.2%, respectively. The median overall survival was 76 months, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 65 months. No differences in survival were observed between the laparotomy group and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) group either before or after propensity score matching (OS: 76 vs. 75 months before PSM, P=0.986; OS: 75 vs. 75 months after PSM, P=0.602). Furthermore, there were no significant differences between-group in operation time and postoperative complications ( P＞0.05). The MIS group experienced less intraoperative blood loss and shorter hospital stays. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that advanced age ( HR=1.43,95% CI:1.18-1.73), elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels ( HR=1.24,95% CI:1.02-1.51), perineural invasion ( HR=1.44,95% CI:1.14-1.81), vascular invasion ( HR=1.35,95% CI:1.07-1.71), advanced T stage (T3-4 vs. T1-2: HR=1.86,95% CI:1.49-2.31), regional lymph node metastasis ( HR=1.93,95% CI:1.58-2.36), preoperative biliary drainage ( HR=1.26,95% CI:1.04-1.53), intraoperative blood loss ( HR=1.34,95% CI:1.11-1.62), clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistulas ( HR=1.53,95% CI:1.12-2.09), and postoperative hemorrhage ( HR=1.62,95% CI:1.14-2.29) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis after surgery (all P＜0.05). Conclusions:Radical surgery is associated with favorable overall survival among DA patients, and no difference in survival is observed between EA-DA and PA-DA patients. MIS is a reliable alternative for DA treatment.
