BACKGROUND: The available evidence regarding the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on patients receiving dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PCI and clinical outcomes as compared with medical therapy alone in patients undergoing dialysis with CAD in China. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 30 tertiary medical centers across 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021 to include patients on dialysis with CAD. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, the individual components of MACE, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between PCI and outcomes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to account for potential between-group differences. RESULTS: Of the 1146 patients on dialysis with significant CAD, 821 (71.6%) underwent PCI. After a median follow-up of 23.0 months, PCI was associated with a 43.0% significantly lower risk for MACE (33.9% [ n  = 278] vs . 43.7% [ n  = 142]; adjusted hazards ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.71), along with a slightly increased risk for bleeding outcomes that did not reach statistical significance (11.1% vs . 8.3%; adjusted hazards ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, PCI was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Subgroup analysis did not modify the association of PCI with patient outcomes. These primary findings were consistent across IPTW, PSM, and competing risk analyses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that PCI in patients on dialysis with CAD was significantly associated with lower MACE and mortality when comparing with those with medical therapy alone, albeit with a slightly increased risk for bleeding events that did not reach statistical significance.

Although cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, it is severely toxic and causes irreversible hearing loss, restricting its application in clinical settings. This study aimed to determine the molecular mechanism underlying cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Here, we established in vitro and in vivo ototoxicity models of cisplatin-induced hair cell loss, and our results showed that reducing STING levels decreased inflammatory factor expression and hair cell death. In addition, we found that cisplatin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction was accompanied by cytosolic DNA, which may act as a critical linker between the cyclic GMP-AMP synthesis-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway and the pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced hearing loss. H-151, a specific inhibitor of STING, reduced hair cell damage and ameliorated the hearing loss caused by cisplatin in vivo. This study underscores the role of cGAS-STING in cisplatin ototoxicity and presents H-151 as a promising therapeutic for hearing loss.

Objective To observe the effects of implementing lung protective ventilation strategies on lung dynamic compliance and oxygenation function in elderly emergency surgery patients.Methods A total of 126 elderly patients undergoing emergency surgery admitted to Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected.They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 63 patients in each group,using a random number table method.All selected cases underwent general anesthesia mechanical ventilation during surgery.The control group chose conventional ventilation mode,while the observation group adopted lung protective ventilation.The lung dynamic compliance,oxygenation function,inflammatory indicators,and complications of the two groups of patients were compared.Results Within 30 minutes of surgery,the mean airway pressure(Pmean)and peak airway pressure(Ppeak)levels of both groups of patients increased compared to preoperative levels.The observation group had a smaller increase than the control group(P<0.05),and the pulmonary dynamic compliance(Cdyn)levels were lower than preoperative levels.The observation group had a lower increase than the control group(P<0.05).After 2 hours of surgery,the levels of Pmean and Ppeak in both groups of patients decreased compared to 30 minutes during surgery,and the decrease in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of Cdyn in both groups decreased compared to before surgery,and the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).24 hours after surgery,the blood oxygen saturation(SpO2)and arterialpartial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)levels in both groups of patients decreased compared to before surgery,and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).The alveolar-arterial oxygen partial pressure difference[P(A-a)DO2]levels between the two groups increased compared to preoperative levels,and the observation group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).48 hours after surgery,the SpO2 and PaO2 levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the P(A-a)DO2 levels were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).24 hours after surgery,the serum C-reactive protein(CRP)and white blood cell(WBC)levels in both groups were significantly increased compared to preoperative levels,and the observation group was higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).48 hours after surgery,the serum CRP and WBC levels of both groups of patients decreased compared to 24 hours after surgery,and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(7.94％vs.25.40％)(P<0.05).Conclusion Implementing lung protective ventilation strategies for elderly emergency surgical patients is beneficial for improving lung dynamic compliance and oxygenation function,inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines,reducing the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications,and effectively exerting lung protective effects.

【Objective】 To understand the current situation of social emotional competence of infants and toddlers, and analyze its relationship with home rearing environment, in order to provide the basis for improving the level of infant social emotional development. 【Method】 A study was conducted on 390 individuals from a child health institution in Hubei and Henan provinces.The "Infant and Toddler Social-Emotional Assessment Scale" and "1 - 3 Years Child Home Rearing Environment Scale" were used to investigate the social emotions ability and home rearing environment of infants and toddlers. 【Results】 A total of 390 valid questionnaires were collected in this survey, of which 199 were boys (51.0%) and 191 girls (49.0%). The average age of infants was (27.13±6.86)months.The age distribution is mainly among infants and young children aged 24 to 36 months, with a total of 305 people (78.2%). The caregiver′s registered residence (Z=-3.570), father′s education level (H=17.106), mother′s education level (H=7.980), per capita monthly income of the family (H=13.986), and the home rearing environment (Z=-8.881) had statistical significance on the social emotional competence of infants(P<0.05 or <0.01).There was a significant positive correlation between family rearing environment and infants′ social emotion (r=0.582, P<0.01).Multiple regression analysis showed that the social adaptation/self-care(β=0.30, 95%CI: 0.18 - 0.52, P<0.01)and language cognition dimensions(β=0.22, 95%CI: 0.07 - 0.59, P<0.05) in the home rearing environment had a statistically significant impact on the social emotional ability of infants and toddlers. 【Conclusion】 The home rearing environment is closely related to the social emotional development of infants and young children.Improve the parenting knowledge and skills of the main caregivers of infants and young children, build a good family rearing environment for infants and young children, which is beneficial to promote the development of children′s social emotions.

Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain (NP) by targeting mRNAs. This study aims to analyze the regulatory function and mechanism of miR-382-5p/dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) axis in NP. Methods: We utilized rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve as the NP model. The levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 were reduced by intrathecal injection of lentiviral interference vectors targeting miR-382-5p and DUSP1. The mRNA levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 in the dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) were measured by RT-qPCR assay. The pain behavior was evaluated by mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity. The expression levels of interleukin-6 (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the DRGs were analyzed by ELISA assay. The targeting relationship between miR-382-5p and DUSP1 was verified by DLR assay and RIP assay. Results: Compared to the Sham group, the CCI rats exhibited higher levels of miR-382-5p and lower levels of DUSP1. Overexpression of miR-382-5p significantly decreased DUSP1 levels. Reducing miR-382-5p levels can lower the mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity of CCI rats and inhibit the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors. Reduced miR-382-5p levels decreased NP in CCI rats. DUSP1 is the target of miR-382-5p, and down-regulation of DUSP1 reverses the inhibitory effect of reduced miR-382-5p levels on NP. Conclusions Down-regulation of miR-382-5p inhibits the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors by targeting and regulating the expression of DUPS1, thereby alleviating NP.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of inferior vena cava (IVC) parameters measured by ultrasound in predicting post-induction hypotension(PIH) in patients undergoing general anesthesia using a meta-analysis.Methods:Databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, China Science and Technology Journal Database, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase were searched for diagnostic clinical trials that involved IVC parameters such as IVC collapsibility index (IVCCI), maximum and minimum IVC diameters (dIVCmax, dIVCmin) measured by ultrasound that predicted PIH from inception to May 2022. Primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of each parameter. The meta regression analysis and subgroup analysis were used to explore the sources of heterogeneity.Results:Nineteen articles were ultimately included ( n=1 750). The sensitivity and specificity of IVCCI in predicting PIH were 0.73 and 0.82 respectively, and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve(AUSROC) was 0.85, and the prediction threshold of IVCCI was (42.5±6.8)%. The sensitivity and specificity of dIVCmax in predicting PIH were 0.46 and 0.74 respectively, and the AUSROC was 0.64. The sensitivity and specificity of dIVCmin in predicting PIH were 0.69 and 0.66 respectively, and the AUSROC was 0.72. In subgroup analysis, the AUSROC of IVCCI in predicting PIH in etomidate subgroup and non-immediate measurement before induction subgroup was 0.92 and 0.71 respectively. The AUSROC of IVCCI was all between 0.8 and 0.9 in propofol group, fentanyl group, sufentanil group, ARB/ACEI group, unlimited surgical types group, and combined with vascular diseases group and other subgroups. Conclusions:IVCCI measured by ultrasound can moderately predict PIH, and dIVCmax and dIVCmin have low accuracy in predicting PIH. Immediate measurement before induction and use of etomidate can improve the predictive accuracy of IVCCI. The predictive accuracy of IVCCI is not affected by the type of opioid drugs, type of surgery, use of ARB/ACEI antihypertensive drugs or vascular diseases.
