ObjectiveTo investigate the association between metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease （ASCVD）， and to provide data support for the prevention and treatment of such metabolic-associated diseases in clinical practice. MethodsAn observation cohort was established for the workers of Kailuan who underwent physical examination for the first time from June 2006 to October 2007 and had complete liver assessment data， without the history of malignant tumor， MAFLD or ASCVD. According to the presence or absence of MAFLD， the patients were divided into non-MAFLD group with 67 565 patients and MAFLD group with 29 004 patients， and according to the presence or absence of ASCVD， the patients were divided into non-ASCVD group with 69 141 patients and ASCVD group with 481 patients. The group t-test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between the two groups. The χ² test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. The life-table method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence rates of new-onset ASCVD and MAFLD； the Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curves of the cumulative incidence rates of ASCVD in the MAFLD group and the non-MAFLD group and the cumulative incidence rates of MAFLD in the ASCVD group and the non-ASCVD group， and the log-rank test was used for comparison of cumulative incidence rates between two groups. A multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the impact of MAFLD on the risk of ASCVD and the impact of ASCVD on the risk of MAFLD. ResultsCompared with the non-MAFLD group， the MAFLD group had significantly higher levels of body mass index （BMI）， waist circumference， systolic blood pressure （SBP）， diastolic blood pressure （DBP）， resting heart rate， alanine aminotransferase， uric acid （UA）， fasting blood glucose （FBG）， triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol， and high sensitivity C-reactive protein （hs-CRP）， as well as significanty lower levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR） and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （all P <0.05）. Compared with the non-ASCVD group， the ASCVD group had significantly higher levels of BMI， waist circumference， SBP， DBP， UA， FBG， TG， and hs-CRP and a significantly lower level of eGFR （all P<0.05）. The incidence rate of new-onset ASCVD continued to increase over time in the MAFLD group and the non-MAFLD group， while the incidence rate of new-onset MAFLD firstly increased and then remained stable over time in the ASCVD group and the non-ASCVD group. There were 4 263 cases （14.70%） of new-osnet ASCVD in the MAFLD group， with an incidence density of 12.90 per 1 000 person-years， while there were 6 529 cases （9.66%） of new-osnet ASCVD in the non-MAFLD group， with an incidence density of 8.24 per 1 000 person-years， and there were significant differences in the incidence density and cumulative incidence rate of ASCVD between the two groups （χ²=519.09 and 531.80， both P<0.05）. There were 148 cases （30.77%） of new-onset MAFLD in the ASCVD group， with an incidence density of 40.10 per 1 000 person-years， while there were 32 194 cases （46.56%） of new-onset MAFLD in the non-ASCVD group， with an incidence density of 57.59 per 1 000 person-years， and there were significant differences in the incidence density and cumulative incidence rate of MAFLD between the two groups （χ²=19.29 and 30.78， both P<0.05）. The corrected multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis showed that MAFLD was a risk factor for new-onset ASCVD （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.11， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.06 — 1.16， P<0.001）， while ASCVD was a protective factor against new-onset MAFLD （HR=0.72， 95%CI： 0.61 — 0.85， P<0.001）. ConclusionThere is a significant association between MAFLD and ASCVD， with an increase in the risk of ASCVD in the MAFLD population and a reduction in the risk of MAFLD in the ASCVD population.

AIM: To explore the effect of Kappa angle on changes in visual quality and stereoscopic acuity after regional refractive multifocal intraocular lens(MIOL)implantation in patients with high myopia complicated by cataract.METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from patients with normal Kappa angle and high myopia complicated by cataract treated at the hospital from January 2024 to January 2025. Patients were divided into two groups based on the median preoperative Kappa angle(0.182 mm): Group A(00.05). The actual residual astigmatism in Group A was lower than that in Group B at 7 d, 1 and 3 mo postoperatively(all P<0.001). The proportion of eyes with near stereoscopic acuity <60″ was higher in Group A than in Group B, while the proportion of eyes with near stereoscopic acuity between 400″ and 3000″ was lower in Group A than in Group B(both P<0.05). Meanwhile, the incidence of visual disturbances in Group B was higher than that in Group A(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The Kappa angle has no significant effect on visual acuity or objective visual quality in patients with normal Kappa angle and high myopia complicated by cataract after regional refractive MIOL implantation. However, patients with a larger Kappa angle exhibit higher postoperative residual astigmatism, worse near stereoscopic acuity, and a higher incidence of vision-related adverse symptoms.

Objective: To investigate the factors affecting carotid plaques among perimenopausal women, so as to provide the basis for the prevention and early intervention of cardiovascular diseases in perimenopausal women. Methods: Perimenopausal women aged 40-60 who underwent health check-ups at Xingtai People's Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as subjects by convenient sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist-to-hip ratio, and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. Carotid plaques were detected using a Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument. Factors affecting carotid plaques among perimenopausal women were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 2 146 perimenopausal women were surveyed, with an age of (50.04±5.82) years. Carotid plaques were detected in 525 cases, with a detection rate of 24.46%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that older age (45-<50 years old, OR=1.474, 95%CI: 1.062-2.047; 55-60 years old, OR=1.779, 95%CI: 1.276-2.481), residing in urban areas (OR=1.601, 95%CI: 1.079-2.376), drinking (OR=1.805, 95%CI: 1.108-2.941), hypertension (OR=1.815, 95%CI: 1.290-2.553), abnormal waist-to-hip ratio (OR=2.479, 95%CI: 1.982-3.101), and abnormal atherogenic index of plasma (OR=1.325, 95%CI: 1.064-1.650) were associated with a higher risk of carotid plaques. College degree or above (college, OR=0.659, 95%CI: 0.502-0.865; bachelor's degree or above, OR=0.517, 95%CI: 0.397-0.673), physical exercise (OR=0.621, 95%CI: 0.494-0.781) were associated with a lower risk of carotid plaques. Conclusion The carotid plaques among perimenopausal women mainly affected by age, place of residence, educational level, alcohol consumption, physical exercise, hypertension, waist-to-hip ratio and atherogenic index of plasma.

Objective To explore the efficacy of progressive exercise training based on the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) grading in respiratory rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at a primary healthcare setting. Methods A total of 106 patients with COPD admitted to Zhuanqiao Community Health Service Center in Shanghai from Aug.1, 2022 to Jul. 30, 2024 were selected as research subjects. They were randomly divided into a study group and a control group in a 1∶1 ratio, with 53 patients in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, while the study group received conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training. After 4 weeks of continuous treatment, the changes in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), COPD assessment test (CAT) score, mMRC grading, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) grading and pulmonary function were compared between the two groups. Results Patients in both groups showed improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function compared to baseline (P＜0.05). Moreover, the study group had better improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function than the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusions Conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training based on mMRC grading can enhance the effect of respiratory rehabilitation in patients with COPD, particularly in improving pulmonary function and exercise tolerance.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of vitamin D analogue for postmenopausal osteoporotic women in China. METHODS A Markov microsimulation model was developed to analyze the clinical and economic outcomes of eldecalcitol， alfacalcidol and calcitriol for postmenopausal osteoporosis from the healthcare system perspective in China. The clinical parameters required for the model were derived from network meta-analysis， while cost and utility data were primarily obtained from the literature. The cycle length was 1 year ， the time horizon was life time， and the willingness-to-pay threshold was 0.5 times the gross domestic product per capita in China in 2023（44 679 yuan/QALY）. Model uncertainty was tested with one-way sensitivity analysis， probabilistic sensitivity analysis， and scenario analysis. RESULTS The quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） for eldecalcitol were calculated to be 12.03 QALYs， which were higher than those for alfacalcidol （11.94 QALYs） and calcitriol （11.92 QALYs）. Meanwhile， the direct medical cost associated with eldecalcitol treatment amounted to 38 805 yuan， which was lower than that of alfacalcidol （45 173 yuan） and calcitriol （45 821 yuan）. The results of the one-way sensitivity analysis showed that the risk ratio of hip fracture and vertebral fracture had a significant impact on the result. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis showed the robustness of the findings from the base-case analysis. CONCLUSIONS Compared with alfacalcidol and calcitriol， eldecalcitol is likely to be a cost-effective treatment for postmenopausal osteoporotic women in China.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of parthenolide （PLT） on systemic inflammation and intestinal injury in rats with acute pancreatitis （AP） by regulating the Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor-erythroid-2 related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway. METHODS AP rat model was established by injecting 3.5% sodium taurine cholate solution （1 mL/kg） into the biliary pancreatic duct， and modeled rats were divided into AP group， PLT （300 µg/kg） group， dexamethasone （2 mg/kg） group， inhibitor （11 mg/kg Nrf2 inhibitor ML385） group， and PLT+inhibitor group （300 µg/kg PLT+11 mg/kg ML385）， with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 rats were taken as a sham operation group. Each group was given relevant medicine or normal saline via tail vein/intraperitoneal injection once. After 24 h， serum lipase and amylase levels， the levels of oxidative stress index [superoxide dismutase （SOD） and malondialdehyde （MDA）] and inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）] were detected. The histopathological changes in colon mucosa and pancreas were observed， and Chiu and Schmidt scores were performed. The cell apoptosis in colon mucosa and the protein expressions of Keap1， Nrf2 and HO-1 were detected. RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group， there was obvious inflammatory cell infiltration in colon mucosa and pancreatic tissue， cell shedding or tissue necrosis and severe bleeding； serum levels of lipase， amylase， MDA， IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α， Chiu and Schmidt scores， apoptotic rate and protein expression of Keap1 in colonic mucosa were significantly increased or up-regulated， while SOD level and protein expressions of Nrf2 20230993） and HO-1 were decreased or down-regulated significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the AP group， the above indexes in the PLT group and dexamethasone group were significantly improved， while those in the inhibitor group further deteriorated （P＜0.05）. Inhibitor could significantly reverse the improvement effect of PLT on the above indexes in AP rats （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PLT inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress in AP rats， alleviates intestinal damage， and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting protein expression of Keap1 and activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of internal brace-augmeted reconstruction combined with tape tail-folding anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALL) and isolated internal brace-augmented reconstruction for high-grade pivot-shift anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 60 patients with high-grade pivot-shift ACL injuries who were admitted to 910th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA between March 2021 and March 2023, including 48 males and 12 females, aged 18-40 years [(28.4±5.6)years]. All ACL injuries were at grade III. The pivot-shift test results were classified as grade 2 in 42 patients and grade 3 in 18. According to the surgical technique, 30 patients underwent artificial internal brace-augmented ACL reconstruction combined with tape tail-folding ALL reconstruction (joint ACL reconstruction group), while the other 30 received isolated internal brace-augmented ACL reconstruction (simple ACL reconstruction group). The two groups were compared in terms of operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, improvement rate of pivot-shift at 3 months postoperatively, rate of sports function recovery at the last follow-up, Tegner and Lysholm scores preoperatively, at 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, and incidence of postoperative complications.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-24 months [(14.8±5.8)months]. The operative duration and intraoperative blood loss were (44.6±8.2)minutes and (45.3±4.6)ml in the simple ACL reconstruction group, significantly shorter or less than (58.0±7.4)minutes and (61.8±9.1)ml in the joint ACL reconstruction group ( P<0.01). At 3 months after surgery, the improvement of pivot-shift test was 93%(28/30) in the joint ACL reconstruction group, higher than 73%(22/30) in the simple ACL reconstruction group ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the recovery rate of motor function was 100%(30/30) in the joint ACL reconstruction group, significantly higher than 80%(24/30) in the simple ACL reconstruction group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in Tegner or Lysholm scores between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05). At 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the Tegner scores were (3.8±0.5)points and (5.7±1.1)points in the joint ACL reconstruction group, significantly higher than (2.5±0.6)points and (3.9±0.9)points in the simple ACL reconstruction group ( P<0.01). At 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the Lysholm scores were (67.2±5.7)points and (89.4±6.4)points in the joint ACL reconstruction group, significantly higher than (56.4±5.0)points and (72.6±5.7)points in the simple ACL reconstruction group ( P<0.01). Both groups demonstrated gradual improvement in Tegner and Lysholm scores at all postoperative time points, compared to preoperative values ( P<0.05). After operation, one patient in the joint ACL reconstruction group had superficial tibial infection, with a complication rate of 3% (1/30), whereas there was one patient with superficial tibial infection, and one with ligament injury in the simple ACL reconstruction group, with a total complication rate of 7% (2/30)( P<0.05). Conclusion:For high-grade pivot-shift ACL injuries, internal brace-augmented reconstruction combined with tape tail-folding ALL reconstruction can significantly improve knee rotational stability, promote motor function recovery, and enhance knee joint outcomes, compared to isolated internal brace-augmented reconstruction.

Objective:To investigate the association between abdominal fat-related indicators derived from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in middle-aged and elderly individuals, as well as the diagnostic value of these indicators.Methods:This cross-sectional study enrolled middle-aged and elderly participants who underwent health check-ups at Kaifeng Central Hospital between January and December 2024. Participants were divided into a CAC group and a non-CAC group based on the presence or absence of CAC. The CAC group was then stratified into mild, moderate, and severe subgroups according to CAC severity. General clinical data were collected for all participants. All subjects underwent one-stop QCT scanning of the chest and abdomen. An automated abdominal fat analysis system was used to identify fat distribution regions. If accurate identification was not possible, a semi-automated segmentation algorithm combined with manual correction was applied instead. Two physicians performed the measurements independently, and inter-observer consistency was assessed. The average values were calculated to obtain visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA). The ratio of visceral fat area to subcutaneous fat area (VFA/SFA) was also computed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with CAC in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of these indicators for CAC. DeLong′s test was used to compare the differences in the area under the curve ( AUC). Results:A total of 252 middle-aged and elderly individuals were included, with a median age of 61 (interquartile rang: 59, 69) years. Of these individuals, 188(74.6%) were males. Among them, 172 were classified into the CAC group and 80 into the non-CAC group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that VFA, VFA/SFA ratio, age, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), and hypertension were independently associated with CAC in middle-aged and elderly individuals (all P<0.05). The mild, moderate, and severe CAC subgroups comprised 78, 51, and 43 participants, respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated that VFA and VFA/SFA increased with CAC severity, and there were statistically significant differences between the subgroups (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUCs of VFA and VFA/SFA for diagnosing CAC were 0.841 and 0.810, respectively, with no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). The optimal cutoff values were 177.45 cm2 for VFA (sensitivity: 83.1%, specificity: 72.5%) and 1.592 for VFA/SFA (sensitivity: 65.7%, specificity: 83.7%). For the diagnosis of moderate-to-severe CAC, the AUCs of VFA and VFA/SFA were 0.765 and 0.761, respectively ( P>0.05 for comparison), with cutoff values of 231.75 cm2 (sensitivity: 61.7%, specificity: 83.3%) and 1.962 (sensitivity: 64.9%, specificity: 80.8%). Conclusion:Abdominal VFA and VFA/SFA derived from QCT are independently associated with the presence of CAC in middle-aged and elderly individuals, demonstrating good diagnostic performance for both overall CAC and moderate-to-severe CAC.
