OBJECTIVE To construct and apply drug utilization evaluation (DUE) criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) based on the dual pathway inhibition (DPI) antithrombotic therapy scheme, to promote clinical rational drug use. METHODS Based on the instructions and relevant guidelines of low-dose rivaroxaban (2.5 mg, bid), the Delphi method was used to establish the DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban used in ASCVD. Weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method was used to determine the relative weights of each evaluation index, and the rationality of the filing medical records of discharged patients using low-dose rivaroxaban for ASCVD at Anqing Municipal Hospital from February 2024 to January 2025 was evaluated. RESULTS The established DUE criteria included 3 primary indicators (medication indications, medication process, medication results) and 11 secondary indicators (such as indications, contraindications, etc.). The higher weighted secondary indicators being contraindications (0.117 9) and indications (0.112 1). A total of 265 medical records were included for evaluation. The evaluation results showed that 192 cases (72.45%) had reasonable medical records, 69 cases (26.04%) had basic reasonable medical records, and 4 cases (1.51%) had unreasonable medical records; unreasonable types mainly included inappropriate combination therapy, inappropriate usage and dosage, inappropriate post- medication monitoring, and inappropriate drug switching, etc. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD based on the DPI antithrombotic treatment regimen, and the evaluation results are intuitive, reliable, and quantifiable. The use of low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD patients in our hospital is relatively reasonable, but further management needs to be strengthened.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objectives:To investigate the impact of baseline non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(non-HDL-C)levels on new-onset cardiovascular disease(CVD)in postmenopausal women. Methods:This prospective cohort study selected 8 893 postmenopausal women who participated from 2006 to 2018 employee health examination of Kailuan Group and had complete total cholesterol(TC)and HDL-C data and no history of CVD.Participants were followed up to 31 December,2021.The primary endpoint was the occurrence of CVD or death.According to the Chinese Lipid Management Guidelines(2023),the participants were divided into non-HDL-C<4.1 mmol/L group(n=6 079),4.1 mmol/L≤non-HDL-C<4.9 mmol/L group(n=1 824)and non-HDL-C≥4.9 mmol/L group(n=990).The cumulative incidence of CVD in different groups of non-HDL-C levels was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and tested by log-rank analysis.Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the effects of different non-HDL-C levels on CVD. Results:The mean follow-up time was(10.78±4.48)years,the cumulative incidence of CVD in different non-HDL-C level groups was 1.82%,3.24%and 2.89%,respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed a statistically significant difference in cumulative incidence among the three groups(log-rank P<0.0001).The results of Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors such as age and sex,the HR(95%CI)values for CVD in the 4.1≤non-HDL-C<4.9 mmol/L group and the non-HDL-C≥4.9 mmol/L group were 1.40(1.13-1.74)and 1.35(1.03-1.78),respectively. Conclusions:High non-HDL-C levels are an independent risk factor for new-onset CVD in postmenopausal women.

Objective:To investigate the role and related mechanisms of the LiaSR two-component system in acid tolerance and biofilm formation abilities of Streptococcus mutans (Sm) 593. Methods:The growth curves of various Sm strains in pH=5.5 brian heart infusion (BHI) medium were analyzed. And colony forming unit (CFU) was also performed to evaluate the acid tolerance of Sm. Laurdan probe, H +-K +adenosine triphosphate (ATP)ase activity analysis kit, proton permeability assay and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) were conducted to detect the acid tolerant mechanisms of LiaSR two-component system in Sm. Crystal violet staining, CFU, SYTOX probe and anthrone-sulfuric method were used to analyze the properties and structures of the Sm biofilms. RT-qPCR was conducted to detect the expression levels of underlying regulated genes. Results:The growth of mutants in acidic BHI were inhibited ( P<0.05). The acid tolerance of mutants significantly decreased compared to the wild-type strain ( P<0.05). In mutants, the activity of H +-ATPase (917.06±59.53 and 469.53±47.65) were elevated by 7.22-folds and 3.70-folds compared to the wild-type strain (127.00±50.71) ( P<0.001, P<0.001) and the encoded gene atpD (3.39±0.21 and 1.94±0.17) were also elevated by 3.39-folds and 1.94-folds compared to the wild-type strain (1.00±0.15) ( P<0.001, P=0.001). The Laurdan generalized polarization of mutants (0.18±0.04 and 0.18±0.05) increased significantly compared to the wild-type strain (0.08±0.05) ( P=0.006, P=0.003) and the expression levels of fabM gene were decreased in mutants (0.52±0.11 and 0.57±0.05) by 1/2 ( P=0.014, P=0.022). In liaR deletion mutant, the reduced terminal pH (4.76±0.01) can also be observed ( P<0.001). The total amount of the biofilms of three Sm didn't show significant differences ( P>0.05). But the number of viable bacteria of mutants′ biofilms were decreased [Sm 593: (12.00±2.80)×10 7 CFU/ml; Sm ΔliaS: (2.95±1.13)×10 7 CFU/ml; Sm ΔliaR: (7.25±1.60)×10 7 CFU/ml] ( P=0.001, P=0.024). The extracellular DNA were increased by 18.00-folds and 6.50-folds in mutants′ biofilms (128.73±15.65 and 46.38±5.52) compared to the wild-type strain (7.16±3.62) ( P<0.001, P=0.003). Water-soluble exopolysaccharides could be found up-regulated in liaS deletion mutant [(138.73±10.12) μg/ml] ( P=0.003) along with the expression level of gtfC gene (1.65±0.39) ( P=0.014). The expression level of gtfD were elevated by 47.43-folds and 16.90-folds in mutants ( P<0.001, P=0.010). Conclusions:The LiaSR two-component system can promote the expression of fabM gene and increase the fluidity of Sm which contributes to acid tolerance. The LiaR can also decrease the proton permeability and restrict the entrance of H +. The LiaSR two-component system can negatively regulate the production of the extracellular matrix in Sm biofilm.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between ankle stability and associated muscle load around the ankle and the effect of a parachute ankle brace (PAB) on ankle inversion and associated muscle load around the ankle during landing through the simulated paratrooper semi-squat landing field experiment.Methods:In August 2021, 37 male paratroopers were randomly selected as the study objects to perform parachute landing training in the semi-squat posture on the 1.5 m and 2.0 m jump platforms with or without PAB, respectively. The coronal plane tilt angle of ankle joint and the percentage of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC%) of associated muscles around ankle joint during the process were measured and correlation analysis was conducted. And the effect of wearing PAB on the coronal plane tilt angle of ankle joint and the associated muscles around the ankle joint was analyzed.Results:During the semi-squat landing, the MVC% of the tibialis anterior muscle, lateral gastrocnemius muscle and peroneus longus muscle were positively correlated with the ankle coronal plane tilt angle in paratroopers wearing and without wearing PAB, and the correlations were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same height, compared with those without PAB, the coronal plane tilt angle of the ankle joint decreased during semi-squat landing in paratroopers PAB, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the landing moment of the same height, compared with those without PAB, the MVC% of lateral gastrocnemius muscle decreased and the MVC% of peroneus longus muscle increased in paratroopers wearing PAB, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After the landing moment until the standing stage (100-200 ms) at 1.5 m height, the MVC% of the tibialis anterior muscle decreased in paratroopers wearing PAB compared with those without PAB, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the post-standing stage (200 ms) at 2.0 m height, the MVC% of the tibialis anterior muscle decreased in paratroopers wearing PAB compared with those without PAB, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Wearing PAB can reduce the ankle coronal plane tilt angle, improve ankle stability, reduce the muscle load of the lateral gastrocnemius muscle at the moment of landing, and reduce the load of the tibialis anterior muscle after landing, but increase the peroneus longus muscle load at the moment of landing.
