Objective:To investigate the impact of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as the predictive performance of RIPK3 combined with traditional cardiovascular risk factors.Methods:This study was a single-center prospective cohort study. It included patients with AMI who underwent PCI at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between September 2017 and November 2017. Baseline clinical data were collected, and plasma samples were obtained 6 hours after PCI to measure RIPK3 levels. Follow-up was conducted via outpatient visits or phone calls to record the occurrence of MACE, including cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and vascular events (recurrent AMI or stroke). The predictive performance of RIPK3, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and their combination for MACE was compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Patients were divided into low- and high-RIPK3 level groups based on the optimal cutoff value of RIPK3. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to assess the impact of RIPK3 levels on MACE after PCI in AMI patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted, and the log-rank test was used to compare MACE incidence between the low-and high-RIPK3 groups.Results:A total of 103 AMI patients who underwent PCI were included, aged 63.0 (56.0, 69.0) years, and 83 (80.6%) were male. The follow-up time was 5.17 (2.81, 5.17) years, during which 44 patients (42.7%) experienced MACE. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve ( AUC) for traditional cardiovascular risk factors was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.58-0.78), while the AUC for plasma RIPK3 was 0.72 (95% CI: 0.62-0.82). The combined AUC for traditional risk factors and RIPK3 was 0.75 (95% CI: 0.65-0.85). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that plasma RIPK3 level is greater than or equal to the optimal cutoff value of 440.9 μg/L ( HR=3.31, 95% CI: 1.53-8.30, P=0.005) was an independent risk factor for MACE in AMI patients after PCI. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that the high-RIPK3 group had a significantly higher risk of MACE after PCI compared to the low-RIPK3 group (log-rank P=0.006). Conclusions:Elevated plasma RIPK3 level is an independent risk factor for MACE in AMI patients after PCI. Plasma RIPK3 combined with traditional cardiovascular risk factors can more effectively predict the occurrence of MACE in AMI patients after PCI. AMI patients with RIPK3≥440.9 μg/L have a higher risk of MACE after PCI.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of confirmed cases of human monkeypox infection in Changning District， Shanghai， and to explore their clinical and epidemiological characteristics. MethodsClinical data from 10 reported cases of monkeypox in individuals residing in Changning District or identified by local medical institutions between July 20 and September 30， 2023， were collected. Epidemiological case investigations were conducted， and throat swabs， anal swabs， and rash swabs were collected by the treating medical institutions. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used for monkeypox virus nucleic acid testing， and descriptive epidemiological analysis was applied to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the cases. ResultsAll 10 confirmed cases of human monkeypox infection were all young males with an average age of 35.4 years， all of whom belonged to the men who have sex with men （MSM） population， with no occupational clustering. The primary clinical symptoms included fever， rash， enlarged inguinal lymph nodes， and muscle soreness. Nine cases presented with a rash， and seven cases experienced fever symptoms. Among the 10 cases， one experienced fever， rash， enlarged lymph nodes， and muscle soreness； two had fever， rash， and enlarged lymph nodes； two had fever， rash， and systemic soreness； two had only a rash； one had fever or rash； and one was asymptomatic. Among the nine cases with a rash， the rash was mainly localized to the genital or anal area， with fewer cases presenting rashes on the limbs or trunk simultaneously. All cases reported a history of non-exclusive MSM behavior within 21 days before the onset of the disease. The interval between the last suspected high-risk exposure and the onset of symptoms was 4 to 10 days， with an average interval of 6.9 days. The time from the onset of fever to the appearance of a rash was 0 to 5 days， with an average of 1.87 days. ConclusionThe main clinical manifestations of human infection with monkeypox are fever， rash， and enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. The MSM population is a high-risk group for monkeypox infection， and its source of infection may be associated with MSM exposure. Early-stage symptoms are mild， leading to potential underdiagnosis. Additionally， patients may conceal information during the investigation process， which increases the difficulty of epidemic prevention and control.

Objective:To observe the effect of Nodal on the biological behavior of retinal vascular endothelial cells (RF/6A cells) in monkeys with high glucose.Methods:RF/6A cells were divided into normal group, mannitol group, high glucose group, high glucose combined with non-specific small interfering RNA treatment group (HG+NC group), high glucose combined with small interfering Nodal treatment group (HG+siNodal group). The transfection efficiency of siNodal was observed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot protein immunoblotting. The effect of Nodal on the proliferation of RF/6A cells was detected by thiazole blue colorimetry. The effect of Nodal on migration ability of RF/6A cells was detected by cell scratch assay. The effect of Nodal on the formation of RF/6A cell lumen was measured by Matrigel three-dimensional in vitro. The expression of extracellular signal phosphorylated regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) in RF/6A cells was detected by western blot protein immunoblotting. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare groups.Results:Compared with HG+NC group, Nodal protein ( F=33.469) and mRNA relative expression levels ( F=38.191) in HG+siNodal group were significantly decreased, cell proliferation was significantly decreased ( F=28.548), and cell migration ability was significantly decreased ( F=24.182). The number of cell lumen formation was significantly decreased ( F=52.643), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with HG+NC group, the relative expression of pERK1/2 protein in HG+siNodal group was significantly decreased, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=44.462, P<0.01). Conclusions:Silencing Nodal expression can inhibit proliferation, migration and tube formation of RF/6A cells induced by high glucose. It may act by inhibiting pERK1/2 expression.

Background: Currently available guidelines contain conflicting recommendations on the management of blood pressure (BP) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, it is necessary to appraise the guidelines and summarize the agreements and differences among recommendations. Methods: Four databases and the websites of guideline organizations were searched for guidelines regarding BP targets and thresholds for pharmacologic therapy in DM patients, and the included guidelines were appraised with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument. Results: In 6,498 records identified, 20 guidelines met our inclusion criteria with 64.0% AGREE II scores (interquartile range, 48.5% to 72.0%). The scores of the European and American guidelines were superior to those of the Asian guidelines (both adjusted P<0.001). Most of the guidelines advocated systolic BP targets <130 mm Hg (12 guidelines, 60%) and diastolic BP targets <80 mm Hg (14 guidelines, 70%) in DM patients. Approximately half of the guidelines supported systolic BP thresholds >140 mm Hg (10 guidelines, 50%) and diastolic BP thresholds >90 mm Hg (nine guidelines, 45%). The tiny minority of the guidelines provided the relevant recommendations regarding the lower limit of official BP targets and the ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)/home BP monitoring (HBPM) targets and thresholds in DM patients. Conclusion The lower official BP targets (<130/80 mm Hg) in patients with DM are advocated by most of the guidelines, but they contain conflicting recommendations on the official BP thresholds. Moreover, the gaps regarding the lower limit of official BP targets and the ABPM/HBPM targets and thresholds need to be considered by future study.

Objective:To clarify the risk factors for post-operative central nervous system infection (PCNSI) to provide references for prevention and treatment of PCNSI.Methods:A total of 397 patients with neurosurgery diseases, admitted to and accepted 403 surgeries in our hospital from February 1 st, 2015 to December 30 th, 2015, were chosen in our study; their clinical data were collected. The incidence of PCNSI was analyzed. Risk factors for PCNSI were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The ajusted specific infection rate of PCNSI was calculated in 12 chief surgeons who performed≥8 operations during the study period to assess the influence of surgeons in PCNSI incidence. Results:The PCNSI incidence in these 397 patients was 9.2% (37/403). The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture positive rate was 29.7% (11/37), including 6 (54.6%) with positive gram staining. Univariate analysis showed that as compared with the non-infected group (366 surgeries), patients in the PCSNI group (37 surgeries) had significantly higher National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) scale, significantly higher proportion of patients with preoperative stay>6 d, significantly longer operative duration, and statistically higher proportion of involvement of scrub nurses with experience in fewer than 8 procedures ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed operative duration ( OR=1.389, 95%CI: 1.202-1.606, P=0.000) and involvement of scrub nurses with experience in fewer than 8 procedures ( OR=2.860, 95%CI: 1.276-6.412, P=0.011) were independent risk factors for PCNSI. After adjustment by NNIS scale, the ajusted specific infection rate of PCNSI in 12 chief surgeons was 20.0%, 23.0%, 17.3%, 18.2%, 13.4%, 12.5%, 6.3%, 8.0%, 5.2%, 4.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0%, respectively, enjoying obvious differences. Conclusion:Specialized infection control training should give to surgeons with high adjusted specific infection rate of PCNSI; this training, shortening operative duration, and training of neurosurgery specialist nurses will be important measures to reduce PCNSI incidence.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and trends of women who underwent induced abortion in recent years, and to provide more evidences to decrease induced abortion rate.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on women who underwent induced abortions in the Family Planning Department of Women and Children’s Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2014 to December 2018.Results:Of the 28 529 women with induced abortion, the age was (28.77±5.78) years old. Women aged 25-34 years accounted for 58.1%, 67.0% of women were married, 62.5% had a history of delivery, 24.0% were in their first pregnancies, 30.3% had induced abortion for twice, 21.5% were for three times and more (the maximum frequency of induced abortion was 14). About 16.1％ induced abortion women had a history of cesarean section，and rate showed an increasing trend in the five years (16.2%, 15.0%, 15.9%, 16.6%, 16.9%), but the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.054). From 2014 to 2018, the age of induced abortion women [(28.05±5.69) years, (28.47±5.62) years, (28.70±5.80) years, (29.03±5.81) years, (29.59±5.82) years, P<0.001] and the percentages of married women （63.2%, 66.8%, 66.9%, 67.2%, 70.9%）, women with two or more children （11.8%, 15.4%, 20.2%, 25.2%, 32.2%） and women undergoing at least a second abortion over 35 years old （21.7%, 22.1%, 23.4%, 26.7%, 29.9%） increased every year (all P<0.001). However, among the induced abortion women, the percentages of unmarried women （36.8%, 33.2%, 33.1%, 32.8%, 29.1%）, women who haven’t bear children （42.9%, 38.4%, 37.8%, 36.3%, 32.4%）, women with the first pregnancy （26.2%, 23.8%, 24.7%, 23.4%, 21.8%） and women under 24 years old （29.3%, 25.3%, 24.7%, 24.1%, 21.5%） decreased during the five years period (all P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence rate of induced abortion among married women with children is the highest, so special attention should be paid to postpartum women in family planning services, and it is urgent to launch postpartum contraceptive services and promote long-term reversible contraceptive measures.
