Background and Objectives: The Fractional Flow Reserve and Intravascular UltrasoundGuided Intervention Strategy for Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Intermediate Stenosis (FLAVOUR) trial demonstrated non-inferiority of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI. We sought to investigate the cost-effectiveness of FFR-guided PCI compared to IVUS-guided PCI in Korea. Methods: A 2-part cost-effectiveness model, composed of a short-term decision tree model and a long-term Markov model, was developed for patients who underwent PCI to treat intermediate stenosis (40% to 70% stenosis by visual estimation on coronary angiography).The lifetime healthcare costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) were estimated from the healthcare system perspective. Transition probabilities were mainly referred from the FLAVOUR trial, and healthcare costs were mainly obtained through analysis of Korean National Health Insurance claims data. Health utilities were mainly obtained from the Seattle Angina Questionnaire responses of FLAVOUR trial participants mapped to EQ-5D. Results: From the Korean healthcare system perspective, the base-case analysis showed that FFR-guided PCI was 2,451 U.S. dollar lower in lifetime healthcare costs and 0.178 higher in QALYs compared to IVUS-guided PCI. FFR-guided PCI remained more likely to be cost-effective over a wide range of willingness-to-pay thresholds in the probabilistic sensitivity analysis. Conclusions Based on the results from the FLAVOUR trial, FFR-guided PCI is projected to decrease lifetime healthcare costs and increase QALYs compared with IVUS-guided PCI in intermediate coronary lesion, and it is a dominant strategy in Korea.

Objective: To compare the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise prescription based on machine vision and routine on HIIT the physical and mental health of female college students with simple obesity, so as to provide a basis for the development of weight loss intervention plans for this population. Methods: From August 2023 to February 2024, 115 female college students with simple obesity, selected from Lianyungang Vocational and Technical College and East China Normal University, were randomly divided into a control group ( n =57) and an observation group ( n =58) according to a random number table. The control group received routine HIIT, while the observation group received machine vision based on HIIT exercise prescription (including image acquisition module, image processing module, database management module, backend computer processing and feedback, intelligent evaluation module, which could be customized according to the subjects preferences, providing exercise prescription based on the selected training program and supervised its standardized completion of the training plan). Both were intervened for 12 weeks, 30 minutes each time, once every 2 days, and rest every Sunday. The t-test was used to compare body shape, glucose and lipid metabolism, cardiopulmonary function indicators, anxiety and depression states between two groups before and after intervention. Results: Before intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in physical and mental health status indicators between two groups of female college students ( t =0.13-0.86, all P >0.05). After intervention, body mass indexes, waist hip ratios, body fat percentage, fasting plasma glucose, 2hour postprandial plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides, total cholesterol, lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), anxiety and depression scores were all reduced in both groups ( t-observation =-6.94 to -12.92, t-control =-2.71 to -10.95 ), of which the observation group [(23.46±2.18)kg/m 2, 0.70±0.06, (28.03±3.16)%, (4.55±0.67)mmol/L, (6.03±0.74)mmol/L, (5.10±0.70)%, (1.63±0.31)mmol/L, (4.24±0.58)mmol/L, (2.45±0.43)mmol/L, 35.28±4.76, and 33.03±4.03] were lower compared with the control group [(26.54±2.32)kg/m 2, 0.77±0.06, (30.74±4.38)%, (5.03±0.76)mmol/L, (6.62±0.82)mmol/L, (5.82±0.73)%, (1.98±0.35)mmol/L, (4.95±0.61)mmol/L, (2.88±0.47)mmol/L, 39.18±5.04, and 37.25±4.16] ( t =-7.34, -6.26 , -3.81, -3.59, -4.05, -5.40, -5.68, -6.40, -5.12, -4.27, -5.53)(all P <0.05). After intervention, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, stroke volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, maximum oxygen consumption, volume of tidal, and vital capacity increased in both groups ( t-observation =7.43-18.23, t-control =3.89-10.13), of which the observation group [(1.49±0.22)mmol/L, ( 72.35± 4.69)mL, (68.95±5.10)%, (36.97±3.22)mL/(kg ·( min), (25.29±4.11)mL/(kg · ( min), and (3 374.26±169.54)mL] were higher compared with the control group [(1.23±0.20)mmol/L, (67.32±4.06)mL, (64.83±5.05)%, (33.24±3.14)mL/(kg · ( min), (23.01± 3.58 )mL/(kg · ( min), and (3 197.50±125.81)mL] ( t =6.63, 6.15, 4.35, 6.29, 3.17, 6.34)(all P <0.05). Conclusion HIIT exercise prescription based on machine vision has better effects than routine HIIT on impoving the body shape, glucose and lipid metabolism, cardiopulmonary function of female college students with simple obesity, and also their mental health.

Objective To summarize the experience and practical value of living donor kidney harvesting in Bama miniature pigs with six gene modified. Methods The left kidney of Bama miniature pigs with six gene modified was obtained by living donor kidney harvesting technique. First, the ureter was occluded, and then the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta were freed. During the harvesting process, the ureter, renal vein and renal artery were exposed and freed in sequence. The vascular forceps were used at the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava, and the renal artery and vein were immediately perfused with 4℃ renal preservation solution, and stored in ice normal saline for subsequent transplantation. Simultaneously, the donor abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava gap were sutured. The operation time, blood loss, warm and cold ischemia time, postoperative complications and the survival of donors and recipients were recorded. Results The left kidney of the genetically modified pig was successfully harvested. Intraoperative bleeding was 5 mL, warm ischemia time was 45 s, and cold ischemia time was 2.5 h. Neither donor nor recipient pig received blood transfusion, and urinary function of the kidney transplanted into the recipient was recovered. The donor survived for more than 8 months after the left kidney was resected. Conclusions Living donor kidney harvesting is safe and reliable in genetically modified pigs. Branch blood vessels could be processed during kidney harvesting, which shortens the process of kidney repair and the time of cold ischemia. Living donor kidney harvesting contributes to subsequent survival of donors and other scientific researches.

Objective:To study the clinical safety and validity of retrograde new endoscopic field of vision in miniature pigs.Methods:6 live miniature pigs were selected as study subjects,En-doscopic Retrograde New View(ERNV)was selected.The performance,image quality and intraoper-ative and postoperative complications were evaluated.To evaluate whether all the experimental ani-mals could complete the relevant endoscopy.Verify ERNV's operating performance,including whether the duodenoscope can enter the biliary tract smoothly,and made sure whether the injection,suction,and instrument channels were unobstructed.Choledochoscope image clarity,color resolu-tion,image deformation and distortion,accurate evaluation of lumen conditions and clear observation of mucosal surface conditions were analyzed.Whether there were operant injuries such as bleeding and perforation,as well as adverse events such as respiratory depression and cardiac arrest.The sur-vival status and adverse reactions of all pigs were observed.Results:The choledochoscope was successfully inserted into the bile duct of 6 miniature pigs.The product had good operation perfor-mance and could enter the bile duct through the duodenoscope smoothly.The injection,suction and instrument channels were relatively smooth.In addition,the endoscopic images are clear,with better color resolution,and without image deformation and distortion,which can realize accurate evaluation of the conditions in the lumen and observe the mucosal surface conditions more clearly.No bile duct stenosis or dilatation occurred in all miniature pigs,and the bile duct mucosa was smooth,without hyperemia and edema,and no abnormal thickening or bending of mucous vessels.During the exami-nation,there were no operational injuries such as bleeding and perforation,and no adverse events such as respiratory depression and cardiac arrest occurred.The vital signs of all miniature pigs tended to be stable after operation,and the survival state was good,and there were no complications such as cholangitis,bleeding and perforation.Conclusion:ERNV has good clinical safety and efficacy,ex-cellent operation performance and excellent image quality,and is worthy of clinical application.

Purpose To evaluate the image quality improvement of deep learning iterative reconstruction(DLIR)on pediatric head CT images of head injury and to evaluate the performance of DLIR and conventional adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-veo(ASIR-V)of noise and image texture of CT image in children's head trauma.Materials and Methods A total of 80 cases in Beijing Children's Hospital,Capital Medical University from December 7th to 11th 2020 of children's head low-dose CT were retrospectively selected.Scan voltage was 120 kV.Scan current was 150-220 mA.The raw data were reconstructed into 5 mm thick slice and 0.625 mm thin slice brain window and bone window images.50%ASIR-V and high weight DLIR images(DL-H)were reconstructed,respectively.A 4-point system was used to subjectively evaluate the display of sulcus,brain matter and bone.The number of lesions in each group was counted.The CT value and image noise values of gray matter and white matter were measured,and the contrast to noise ratio was calculated,then measured the blur metric index was measured in the same slice.The differences between the two image reconstruction methods were compared.Results Compared to 50%ASIR-V images,DL-H significantly improved the display ability of the sulcus and ventricles,as well as the display ability of the brain parenchyma(W=5.5-22.2,all P<0.05)in both slice thickness.There was no statistically significant difference in the display ability of the sulcus and ventricles between 5 mm 50%ASIR-V and 0.625 mm DL-H images(W=0.9,2.0,P=0.32,0.05,respectively).In terms of bone display ability,all images could achieve a maximum score of 4.0.A total of 35 lesions were found in 80 patients via 5 mm 50%ASIR-V and DL-H images,including 12 hemorrhagic lesions,1 intracranial gas,9 fractures,and 13 soft tissue swelling.In terms of objective evaluation,the noise level of DL-H images was significantly lower than that of 50%ASIR-V images(t=21.4-35.7,all P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in noise and contrast noise ratio between 5 mm 50%ASIR-V and 0.625 mm DL-H images(t=1.7-2.2,all P≥0.05).The blur metric index showed that DL-H was superior to 50%ASIR-V images(t=6.1,10.0,both P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in blur metric index between 0.625 mm DL-H and 5 mm 50%ASIR-V images(t=2.6,P=0.28).Conclusion DLIR can improve the CT image quality and image texture of children's head trauma,0.625 mm DL-H image quality is close to 5 mm 50%ASIR-V image,which can meet the diagnostic requirements,and possible to further reduce the radiation dose.

The kidney governs water and is the congenital foundation.The kidney plays an important role in the transportation and distribution of body fluid,has the interior-exterior relationship with the waterffu-organ bladder,and has the meridian connection with the stomach,the reservoir of water and food,through the thoroughfare vessel.Therefore,the kidney plays a key role in the formation of phlegm.Professor CHEN Bo-Lai believes that low back pain of kidney deficiency and phlegm obstruction type is characterized by deficiency in the origin and excess in the superficiality.Excess in the superficiality is manifested as phlegm obstruction,and deficiency in the origin is manifested as kidney deficiency.Clinically,the patients with low back pain of kidney deficiency and phlegm obstruction type mainly have the manifestations of lumbosacral dull pain and fixed pain,stiffness in the waist,limb numbness or hemiplegia,accompanied by soreness and weakness of waist and knees,and preference for pressing and kneading.The treatment of low back pain of kidney deficiency and phlegm obstruction type can be based on theory of kidney being the root of phlegm,follows the therapy of tonifying kidney and eliminating phlegm,and can be performed by the modified use of basic prescription of Litan Decoction(mainly composed of Euryales Semen,Pinelliae Rhizoma,Sesami Semen Nigrum,Platycladi Semen,Paeoniae Radix Alba,Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium and Poria)together with the assistance of herbs for strengthening spleen and dispersing lung based on the differentiation of the complicated symptoms.The thoughts of Professor CHEN Bo-Lai for the differentiation and treatment of low back pain of kidney deficiency and phlegm obstruction type can be used as a reference for the treatment of low back pain with Chinese medicine.

Objective To analyze the latent categories of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitution of college students,and to explore the moderating effects of latent categories of TCM constitution on the the associations between self-efficacy and depression-anxiety symptoms.Methods An investigation was carried out in two universities of Guangdong Province with 30-item TCM constitution scale,General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES)and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale,and then a total of 1 097 valid samples were obtained.Correlation analysis,latent profile analysis,and hierarchical regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results(1)Four latent categories of TCM constitution were obtained in the college students:generally-balanced type(32.0%),highly-balanced type(17.4%),generally-biased type(36.9%)and highly-biased type(13.7%).There were statistically significant differences in the subscale scores of TCM constitution scale among the college students with various latent categories of TCM constitution(all P＜0.001).(2)Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the self-efficacy negatively predicted the symptoms of depression and anxiety(β value being-0.268,-0.161 respectively,P＜0.001);with the generally-balanced type as reference,the generally-biased type and the highly-biased type positively predicted the symptoms of depression and anxiety,and the highly-balanced type negatively predicted the symptoms of depression and anxiety(all P＜0.001).(3)The latent categories of TCM constitution had moderating effects on the self-efficacy and depression-anxiety symptoms:the depression-anxiety symptoms were relieved with the increase of self-efficacy in the college students with the TCM constitution being generally-biased type,highly-biased type and generally-balanced type(all P＜0.01);in the college students with highly-balanced type,the symptoms of depression(β=0.005,P=0.907)and anxiety(β=0.007,P=0.878)did not change with the increase of self-efficacy.Conclusion Obvious heterogeneity of TCM constitution is presented in the population of college students.The measures of enhancement of self-efficacy and the correction of TCM to promote the psychological health of college students should be performed with reference to the characteristics of their TCM constitution types.
