Coronary perforation is when a contrast agent or blood flows outside a blood vessel through a tear in a coronary artery.In this case,we reported a case of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary calcified lesions,which led to iatrogenic coronary perforation and cardiac tamponade after the use of Shockwave balloon to treat intracoronary calcified nodules,and the management of PCI-related CAP was systematically reviewed through the literature.

This study was aimed at understanding the genomic characteristics of the Vibrio cholerae O1 group isolated from humans in Fujian Province,to provide essential data for the molecular epidemiological study of cholera.From 2008 to 2022,16 strains of the V.cholerae O1 group from patients and carriers were collected,and antibiotic sensitivity was determined accord-ing to the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC).The whole genome sequences obtained through second generation sequen-cing were analyzed in open source software,including snippy,Roary,and Prokka,as well as online analysis websites,inclu-ding NCBI and BacWGSTdb,for core-genome multilocus sequence typing(cgMLST),core-genome single nucleotide polymor-phism analysis(cgSNP),virulence gene analysis,drug resistance gene prediction,and pan-genomic diversity analysis.The whole genome sequences of V.cholerae were divided into five sequence types(STs),among which the newly discovered ST182 and ST1480 were the evolutionary branches of the current dominant clonal group ST75 in China,and were highly related to two strains isolated from Taiwan in 2010 and 2013,respectively.Both toxigenic strains and non-toxigenic strains carried a variety of virulence factors and showed gene variation to varying degrees.Thirteen drug resistance genes in seven categories were predicted,among which the distribution of colistin and tetracycline resistance genes was consistent with the drug resistance phenotype.Pan-ge-nomic analysis indicated that V.cholerae had an open pan-genome,and Roary cluster analysis showed higher resolution than cgMLST.In summary,V.cholerae O1 group isolates from humans in Fujian Province have polymorphisms in genome structure and function,and the newly discovered ST1480 clone group has epidemic potential.Therefore,the monitoring of such strains must be strengthened.

This study was aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of vector control efforts at the 19th Asian Games in Hang-zhou,to provide a reference for future vector control at similar large-scale events.We collected and analyzed vector organism monitoring data for various venues at Asian Games(branch)villages and designated reception hotels(hotels and guesthouses)associated with the Asian Games in Hangzhou from April to October of 2023.Excel 2019 software and SPSS 20.0 software were used to organize the data.Paired t tests(for normally distributed data)or Wilcoxon signed rank tests(for data not nor-mally distributed)were performed,and count data were analyzed statistically with x2 tests.The larva mosquito path index at Asian Games venues peaked in June and then declined month by month.The first circle area of the adult mosquito human trapping index peaked in June,and the second circle area peaked in July.The mosquito indicators reached the corre-sponding control standards before the Asian Games.Moreo-ver,the differences in mosquito density before and after the Asian Games were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Both the positivity rate and density of flies in rooms reached level A in the first and second circle areas from April to October.The proportion of indoor fly-proof facilities meeting the standards was lowest in May,then gradually increased.The corresponding control standards were reached in the first round in the fourth week of September,and in the second round in the first week of October.The difference in the density of positivity for room flies before and after the Asian Games was statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Rodent density reached the corre-sponding control standards in the second week of September.The proportion of anti-rodent facilities meeting the standards was lowest in June,and then gradually increased.The first round began to meet the corresponding control standards in the fourth week of September,and the second round began to meet the corresponding control standards in the first week of October.Ex-cept for the outdoor rat density path index,which was statistically significant before and after the Asian Games,the other indi-cators showed no statistical significance(P＞0.05).The cockroach density in the first circle area reached level A in all months,and that in the second circle area reached level B in mid-August.Vector control in the Hangzhou Asian Games achieved the ex-pected results,with no vector infringement or local vector-borne infectious diseases occurring.In future vector control for large-scale events,vector density monitoring should be performed as early as possible,and comprehensive prevention and control measures should be taken to maintain low vector density and prevent vector infringement incidents.

Objective:To explore the potential action mechanism of Huotu Jiji Pellets(HJP)in the treatment of erectile dys-function(ED)based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.Methods:We identified the main effective compounds and active molecular targets of HJP from the database of Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology(TCMSP)and Integrative Pharmacology-Based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCMIP)and the therapeutic target genes of ED from the data-bases of Genecards.Then we obtained the common targets of HJP and ED using the Venny software,constructed a protein-protein in-teraction(PPI)network of HJP acting on ED,and screened out the core targets with the Cytoscape software.Lastly we performed GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of the core targets followed by molecular docking of HJP and the core targets using Chem3D and AutoDock Tools and QuickVina-W software.Results:A total of 64 effective compounds,822 drug-related targets,1 783 disease-related targets and 320 common targets were obtained in this study.PPI network analysis showed that the core targets of HJP for ED included ESR1,HSP90AA1,SRC,and STAT3.GO functional enrichment analysis indicated the involvement of the core targets in such biological processes as response to xenobiotic stimulus,positive regulation of kinase activity,and positive regu-lation of MAPK cascade.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that PI3K-Akt,apoptosis,MAPK,HIF-1,VEGF,autophagy and other signaling pathways may be related to the mechanism of HJP acting on ED.Molecular docking prediction exhibited a good doc-king activity of the key active molecules of HJP with the core targets.Conclusion:This study showed that HJP acted on ED through multi-components,multi-targets and multi-pathways,which has provided some evidence and reference for the clinical treatment and subsequent studies of the disease.

Objective To propose a random forest(RF)algorithm-based prediction method for diabetic retinopathy(DR)to solve the problems due to multi feature dimension for detecting diabetes follow-up data and outliers and noises in the values of some indicators in the disease samples.Methods Firstly,the feature selection of the follow-up dataset of diabetic patients from the endocrinology and metabolism departments of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital and Kobe University Hospital in Japan was carried out using the Weka tool to screen out the features or subsets that were hightly correlated with DR;secondly,a model for assisting clinical diagnosis of DR was constructed based on feature subsets and RF algorithm;finally,model comparison experiments and ablation experiments were performed to validate the model performance and to determine which feature contributed the most to the model.Results The feature subset containing disease duration,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),total bilirubin(T-bilirubin),low density lipoprotein(LDL),serum creatinine(sCr)and albumin(ALB)correlated the most with RF.A model was constructed based on the above findings with RF algorithm,which behaved better than other models in terms of precision(0.92),accuracy(0.91),F1 score(0.91)and AUC(0.95).The results of ablation experiments showed that the disease duration contributed the most to the model,followed by albumin and serum creatinine,and then by LDL,total bilirubin,glycosylated hemoglobin and thyroid stimulating hormone.Conclusion The RF algorithm-based prediction method with high accuracy can be used for assisted diagnosis of DR.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(11):8-14]

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of Tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside (TGW) in the treatment of psoriatic dermatitis from a cellular immunological perspective. METHODS: Mouse models of psoriatic dermatitis were established by imiquimod (IMQ). Twelve male BALB/c mice were assigned to IMQ or IMQ₊TGW groups according to a random number table. Histopathological changes in vivo were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Ratios of immune cells and cytokines in mice, as well as PAM212 cell proliferation in vitro were assessed by flow cytometry. Pro-inflammatory cytokine expression was determined using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: TGW significantly ameliorated the severity of IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse skin lesions and restrained the activation of CD45⁺ cells, neutrophils and T lymphocytes (all P<0.01). Moreover, TGW significantly attenuated keratinocytes (KCs) proliferation and downregulated the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-23, tumor necrosis factor α, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Furthermore, it reduced the number of γ δ T17 cells in skin lesion of mice and draining lymph nodes (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS TGW improved psoriasis-like inflammation by inhibiting KCs proliferation, as well as the associated immune cells and cytokine expression. It inhibited IL-17 secretion from γ δ T cells, which improved the immune-inflammatory microenvironment of psoriasis.
