ObjectiveThe controllability changes of structural brain network were explored based on the control and brain network theory in young smokers, this may reveal that the controllability indicators can serve as a powerful factor to predict the sleep status in young smokers. MethodsFifty young smokers and 51 healthy controls from Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology were enrolled. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to construct structural brain network based on fractional anisotropy (FA) weight matrix. According to the control and brain network theory, the average controllability and the modal controllability were calculated. Two-sample t-test was used to compare the differences between the groups and Pearson correlation analysis to examine the correlation between significant average controllability and modal controllability with Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) in young smokers. The nodes with the controllability score in the top 10% were selected as the super-controllers. Finally, we used BP neural network to predict the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in young smokers. ResultsThe average controllability of dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, supplementary motor area, lenticular nucleus putamen, and lenticular nucleus pallidum, and the modal controllability of orbital inferior frontal gyrus, supplementary motor area, gyrus rectus, and posterior cingulate gyrus in the young smokers’ group, were all significantly different from those of the healthy controls group (P<0.05). The average controllability of the right supplementary motor area (SMA.R) in the young smokers group was positively correlated with FTND (r=0.393 0, P=0.004 8), while modal controllability was negatively correlated with FTND (r=-0.330 1, P=0.019 2). ConclusionThe controllability of structural brain network in young smokers is abnormal. which may serve as an indicator to predict sleep condition. It may provide the imaging evidence for evaluating the cognitive function impairment in young smokers.

Objective To investigate the effect of baseline atherogenic index of plasma(AIP)on the long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 712 AMI patients admitted to the hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were continuously included as subjects and divided into a low-value group(AIP<0.280,n=237),a median-value group(AIP 0.280～0.852,n=238)and a high-value group(AIP>0.852,n=237)according to the baseline AIP tertiles.The primary endpoint was defined as the occurrence of major cardiovascular adverse events(MACEs).Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of MACEs.The nonlinear relationship between AIP and the risk of MACEs was analyzed with restricted cubic spline plots.Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze survival differences between groups.Subgroup analysis assesses the consistency of AIP's predictive value to MACEs.Results With the increase of AIP tertile groups,the proportion of dyslipidemia and MACEs increased,white blood cell count,fasting blood glucose,triglyceride,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein and AIP increased,and high-density lipoprotein decreased,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that AIP was an independent risk factor for MACEs(HR=2.024,95%CI:1.211～3.381,P=0.007).The results of restricted cubic spline analysis show that there is an L-shaped nonlinear effect relationship between AIP and the risk of MACEs(P-nonlinear=0.008).When AIP>0.613,the risk of MACEs in AMI patients increases with the increase of AIP.Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis results show:With the increase of AIP,the cumulative incidence of MACEs in AMI patients increased significantly(Log-rank test,P=0.032).Compared with the low-value group,the risk of MACEs in the high-value group increased by 131%(HR=2.311,95%CI:1.261～4.234,P=0.007).The results of subgroup analysis showed that the P value of interaction within each subgroup was not significant,and the ability of AIP to predict MACEs was applicable to all subgroups.Conclusion Increased AIP at baseline is an independent predictor of poor long-term prognosis in patients with AMI.

China has become the country with the highest global burden of heart failure(HF).Despite the widespread use of prognostic-improving medications today,the mortality rate of HF remains high,reaching 13.7％at one year-particularly among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF).HF interventional device therapy(structural intervention)targets the structural factors underlying HF,including atrial pressure,ventricular remodeling,and valvular intervention.It leverages the heart's intrinsic physiological properties and pathological progression mechanisms to deliver treatments through interventions without external active forces,achieving anatomical or functional repair.This field has emerged as a rapidly growing area and plays an increasingly critical role in HF management.This article provides a comprehensive review and summary of the latest advancements in HF and cardiomyopathy interventional therapy over the past year.It covers various novel technologies and products currently in the research phase,aiming to provide an in-depth analysis of the current status and future directions of HF interventional therapy,and further advance the development of this discipline.

Objective:To understand the etiological surveillance and drug resistance characteristics of Legionella pneumophila (LP) from the aqueous environment of public places in Shanghai, from 2011 to 2020, and provide evidence for surveillance of the disease. Methods:Environmental water samples were systematically collected from public venues in urban and suburban districts of Shanghai for LP surveillance. All the identified LP isolates underwent a series of testings including serotyping, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), sequence-based typing, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. χ2 test or Cochran-Armitage trend tests were used for statistical analysis and for temporal resistance patterns. Results:Among 6 263 water samples, the LP-positive rate was 20.93% (1 311/6 263). The positivity rate decreased from 24.98% (287/1 149) in 2011-2012 to 20.02% (1 024/5 114) in 2013-2020 ( χ2=13.92, P<0.001), with the highest monthly positivity observed from June to August (23.79%, 745/3 132). A total of 1 365 LP strains were isolated, of which 912 were further characterized, including 10 serotypes, 149 PFGE patterns, and 33 sequence types (ST). The predominant serotype was Lp1 (86.84%, 792/912), and the dominant ST was ST752 (29.50%, 269/912). ST clustering revealed two major clonal groups CG1 and CG2, accounting for 91.12% (831/912) of the isolates. The 190 LPs involved in the drug sensitivity test showed three resistance profiles: azithromycin resistance (31.05%, 59/190), ciprofloxacin resistance (0.53%, 1/190) and azithromycin+ciprofloxacin resistance (0.53%, 1/190). Azithromycin-resistant strains were predominantly ST1 (64.41%, 38/59). The antimicrobial resistance rate showed a significant decline, from 48.65% (18/37) in 2011-2012 to 28.10% (43/153) in 2013-2020 ( χ2=9.38, P=0.002). Conclusions:Compared to from 2011 to 2012, both the positivity rate and antimicrobial resistance prevalence of LP in public aqueous environments of Shanghai exhibited an overall decline from 2013 to 2020. The predominant types of LP were serotype Lp1 and sequence type ST752, with notable high-level resistance to azithromycin. Measures as enhancing the enforcement of water safety regulations and prioritizing surveillance of azithromycin resistance in LP were recommended to mitigate public health risks.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite(HClO/ClO-)plays a key role in biological processes and is commonly used as a disinfectant in drinking water.However,excessive intake of HClO/ClO-can oxidize biomolecules like DNA,RNA,and proteins,causing organ damage.Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease can also lead to overproduction of HClO/ClO-.Therefore,accurately detecting HClO/ClO-levels is crucial.In this study,an HClO/ClO-fluorescent probe,NC-TPA-PPh3,was designed and synthesized,with a triphenylamine core as the fluorescent unit,carbon-carbon double bonds as recognition sites,and a quaternary ammonium salt for mitochondria targeting,forming a D-π-A structure.This probe had a fluorescence lifetime of 3.71 ns and a fluorescence quantum yield of 0.51.Upon exposure to HClO/ClO-,the maximum fluorescence emission wavelength of the probe in DMSO/H2O(9∶1,V/V,pH=7.4)solution(20 μmol/L)shifted from 550 nm to 430 nm,with a fluorescence intensity increase of 35.7 times compared to blank probe solution,allowing for selective recognition of HClO/ClO-.The probe also exhibited a large Stokes shift(130 nm)and a low limit of detection(LOD)of 9.16×10-8 mol/L.Based on characterization by proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR),electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(ESI-MS),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and theoretical calculations,it was speculated that NC-TPA-PPh3 recognized HClO/ClO-through oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in the probe,generating TPA-CHO with lower water solubility and a smaller conjugated structure.This disrupted the D-π-A structure,blocking intramolecular charge transfer(ICT),causing the fluorescence emission peak to blue-shift from 550 nm to 430 nm.Additionally,this process induced an aggregation-induced fluorescence effect,significantly enhancing the fluorescence intensity at 430 nm.
