Objective To investigate the correlation between the inflammatory burden index(IBI)and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and to assess the efficacy of IBI in predicting in-hospital and long-term MACEs.Methods This retrospective study included 465 STEMI patients who received PCI treatment in No.904 Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from Dec.2017 to Dec.2021.The IBI was calculated for each patient.The predictive value for in-hospital and long-term MACEs was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and the area under curve(AUC)was calculated.The population was grouped based on the optimal IBI cut-off value for clinical characteristic analysis.Multivariate logistic regression and Cox regression analyses were used to identify factors independently associated with MACEs.The Kaplan-Meier estimator and log-rank test were used to assess the MACE risk of different IBI groups.Results The AUC value for predicting MACEs during hospitalization in STEMI patients using IBI was 0.687,and the AUC value for predicting long-term MACEs was 0.634.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a high IBI 102.33 mg/L)independently increased the risk of MACEs during hospitalization in STEMI patients(odds ratio=10.900,95％confidence interval[95％CI]4.273-29.180,P＜0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis further indicated that during long-term follow-up of STEMI patients,a high IBI(≥55.88 mg/L)independently predicted MACEs(hazard ratio=1.989,95％CI 1.128-3.506,P=0.018).Conclusion IBI is a valuable predictor for the occurrence of MACEs during hospitalization and long-term follow-up after PCI in STEMI patients.

Objective To validate the efficacy of the prediction model for difficulty of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) through an independent cohort. Methods A total of 617 patients with achalasia who underwent POEM at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2021 to December 2023 were included. The general data of patients were collected, and the predictive value of the prediction model for POEM difficulty in the validation cohort was estimated. The stratified analysis was undergone according to the difficulty risk scores. Results In 617 consecutive patients, technical difficulty was observed in 90 cases (14.6%). The predictive model demonstrated moderate discriminatory capacity with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.711 (95%CI 0.643-0.780). Patients were stratified into three risk categories according to the difficulty risk scores: low-risk (＜0.1), medium-risk (0.1-0.25), and high-risk (≥0.25). The corresponding technical difficulty rates were 7.3%, 16.9%, and 51.6%, respectively. Conclusion The prediction model for POEM difficulty built by our center shows good stability and discrimination, and has good clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) on inflammation-related atrial fibrillation (AF) susceptibility.Methods:Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse and HL-1 mouse atrial myocyte models were used. (1) In vivo study: experimental groups included control, LPS, LPS+SDT, and SDT groups, with 20 mice in each group. Atrial fibrillation inducibility and duration were assessed by electrical stimulation. Western blot was used to analyze atrial expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 C (CACNA1C) expression. (2) In vitro study: cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Western blot were used to determine the optimal and safe LPS concentration. The safe incubation condition for the sonosensitizer sinoporphyrin sodium was determined by CCK-8 and fluorometry. An LPS-induced inflammatory model in HL-1 atrial myocytes was used, with experimental groups including control, LPS, LPS+SDT, LPS+sinoporphyrin sodium, and LPS+ultrasound groups. NLRP3 was overexpressed using plasmid transfection, with experimental groups including control, NLRP3 plasmid, negative control plasmid, and NLRP3 plasmid+SDT groups. SDT was applied to LPS-stimulated or NLRP3-overexpressing HL-1 cells. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to measure mRNA and protein levels of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), Cleaved Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18, and CACNA1C. The NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 was used to validate the relationship of NLRP3 and CACNA1C. The experimental groups included control, LPS, LPS+MCC950, and MCC950 groups. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected using the probe DCFH-DA, and the ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) was used to test if the effects of SDT was ROS-dependent.Results:(1) In vivo: The LPS+SDT group exhibited a lower incidence of atrial fibrillation induction and a shorter duration of atrial fibrillation compared to the LPS group(both P<0.05). Protein expression levels of NLRP3 and IL-1β were lower than those in the LPS group (all P<0.05), while the expression of CACNA1C subunit tended to increase relative to the LPS group ( P>0.05). (2) In vitro: The safe concentration of LPS for administration was ≤20 μg/ml, with an optimal pro-inflammatory concentration of 4 μg/ml. The safe concentration of sinoporphyrin sodium for administration was 0.4 μmol/L, with an optimal incubation time of 4 hours. Compared to the LPS group or NLRP3 plasmid group, the LPS+SDT group or NLRP3 plasmid+SDT group exhibited lower expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Cleaved Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18, and higher mRNA and protein levels of CACNA1C (all P<0.05). The LPS+MCC950 group had higher CACNA1C protein expression than the LPS group ( P<0.05). SDT increased intracellular ROS levels, and NAC blocked the regulatory effects of SDT on NLRP3 and CACNA1C. Conclusion:SDT reduces atrial fibrillation susceptibility in mice by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation in atrial cardiomyocytes, thereby upregulating the L-type calcium channel subunit CACNA1C.

Objective:To explore the relationship between mindfulness, optimism, and subjective well-being in post-lung transplantation patients, so as to provide a basis for nursing staff to improve patients' subjective well-being.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. Convenience sampling was used to select 205 post-lung transplantation patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from October 2022 to November 2023 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and Life Orientation Test-R (LOT-R) were used to investigate the study participants. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between subjective well-being and mindfulness and optimism in patients after lung transplantation. AMOS 24.0 software was used to construct a mediating model to analyze the path relationship between mindfulness, optimism and subjective well-being.Results:A total of 205 questionnaires were distributed and 202 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.54% (202/205). In 202 patients after lung transplantation, the WHO-5 Well-Being Scale total score, MAAS total score, and LOT-R score were (16.31±4.73), (56.75±9.44), and (18.49±3.85), respectively. Lung transplantation patients' subjective well-being was positively correlated with mindfulness and optimism ( r=0.570, 0.600, both P<0.01). Optimism partially mediated the relationship between mindfulness and subjective well-being, with an effect value of 0.290 and an effect proportion of 52.35% (0.290/0.554) . Conclusions:Mindfulness and optimism are both positively correlated with subjective well-being in post-lung transplantation patients, and mindfulness could also influence subjective well-being through the mediating effect of optimism. Healthcare professionals should fully explore and cultivate positive psychological resources, such as mindfulness, in lung transplant patients, by increasing optimism as the target of intervention, which in turn improves patients' subjective well-being.

The incidence of myopia among Chinese adolescents is progressively rising, indicating a distinct trend toward younger age onset.This paper aims to comprehensively review the impact of various visual performance on myopia and its progression, with a specific emphasis on accommodative function, convergence function, and ocular position. A meticulous exploration of accommodation function, encompassing accommodative amplitude, accommodative facility, accommodative response, positive relative accommodation, and negative relative accommodation, has been undertaken to elucidate its contributory role in myopia progression. Concurrently, an exhaustive analysis of convergence function has been conducted including esotropia and exotropia, convergence insufficiency and convergence excess, fusional function vergence, divergence insufficiency, and excess, providing a nuanced understanding of convergence's implications for myopia advancement. Furthermore, the influence of ocular position on myopia progression, along with other factors affecting perceptual ocular position and intermittent exotropia, is discussed. The primary objective of this article is to unveil the multifaceted visual performance influencing myopia and its progression, elucidating the paramount significance of accommodative function, convergence function, and ocular position in this context.

Objective:To investigate the value of cystatin C (Cys-C) in the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) after radical nephrectomy and the predictive value for the prognosis of Cys-C based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR Cys-C) after surgery. Methods:The clinical data of 118 patients who underwent unilateral radical nephrectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the diagnostic criteria of AKI, they were divided into AKI group of 75 cases and no-AKI group of 43 cases. AKI group was (62.7±10.7) years old, with 49 males and 26 females. The no-AKI group was (62.3±12.8) years old, with 21 males and 22 females. The urea nitrogen was (4.9±1.3) mmol/L, creatinine (75.7±14.5)μmol/L, Cys-C (0.85±0.22) mg/L, eGFR Cr(76.3±11.2)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(101.4±17.4)ml/(min·1.73m 2)in AKI group before operation.In no-AKI group, preoperative urea nitrogen was (4.9±1.5) mmol/L, creatinine (74.5±13.1)μmol/L, Cys-C (0.81±0.29) mg/L, eGFR Cr(78.6±12.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(99.3±18.8)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and there were no significant differences in the values of urea nitrogen, creatinine, Cys-C and eGFR between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05). ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of urea nitrogen, creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR calculated based on creatinine and Cys-C at 48h after surgery, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for AKI. The creatinine status of patients diagnosed with SPS was evaluated 6 months after surgery, based on the definition of Cys-C based eGFR being less than 70% of creatinine-based eGFR(SPS=eGFR Cys-C/ eGFR Cr≤0.7). Results:In AKI group, creatinine was(115.2±22.1)μumol/L, Cys-C (1.8±0.27) mg/L, eGFR Cr (51.6±9.6)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(43.4±8.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2)48 h after operation. The creatinine was(92.7±13.3)μmol/L, Cys-C(1.3±0.23) mg/L, eGFR Cr(62.2±11.3)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(61.5±9.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2) in no-AKI group, and difference were statistically significant between the two groups ( P<0.01). ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnosis of AKI. Creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR Cr and eGFR Cys-Cwere all of diagnostic value for AKI (all P<0.01), and AUC(Area under curve) were 0.809, 0.889, 0.761 and 0.925 respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve of eGFR Cys-C were 93.3%, 74.4% and 92.5% respectively. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that creatinine( OR=10.851, 95% CI 2.322-50.688, P=0.004), Cys-C( OR=10.016, 95% CI 2.306-43.362, P=0.001), eGFR Cr( OR=17.923, 95%CI 3.216-53.172, P=0.001) and eGFR Cys-C( OR=19.817, 95% CI 3.367-55.263, P=0.001)were all independent risk factors for AKI. The predictive accuracy of eGFR Cys-C, creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR Cr were 91.6%, 85.7%, 90.2%, 88.5%, respectively. There were 15 cases were confirmed SPS in the AKI group, and only 2 cases were confirmed SPS in the no-AKI group, indicating patients in the AKI group developed more SPS than those in the no-AKI group, with statistically significant difference(Kappa value was 5.22, P=0.02). The 6-month follow-up showed that the creatinine of confirmed SPS was (103.8±23.4)μmol/L and the creatinine of unconfirmed SPS was (86.8±27.2)μmol/L, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). Conclusions:eGFR Cys-C calculated based on Cys-C has high sensitivity in diagnosing AKI and has early diagnostic value. Patients diagnosed with SPS based on eGFR Cys-C had higher creatinine 6 months after surgery.
