Objective To investigate the correlation of triacylglycerol glucose(TyG)index,monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(MHR)with coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia degree in coronary heart disease(CHD),and to analyze the two Predictive value of coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia degree.Methods CHD patients from the 920th Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the study group(n = 150),and healthy physical examination subjects from the same period were selected as the control group(n = 75).The TyG index and MHR of the two groups were compared and analyzed.The extent of coronary artery disease was evaluated based on the Gensini score,and the TyG index and MHR of patients with different coronary lesions and myocardial ischemia were compared,and their correlation with Gensini score and myocardial ischemia was analyzed.The predictive value of TyG index,MHR,and the combined detection of both for coronary lesions and myocardial ischemia was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and area under the curve(AUC).Results The TyG index and MHR of the study group were(4.12±0.35)and(0.26±0.08)×109,respectively,which were higher than those of the control group(4.94±0.55)and(0.43±0.12)×109,and the TyG index and MHR of severe coronary artery disease>moderate coronary artery disease>mild coronary artery disease,acute myocardial infarction TyG index,MHR>unstable angina pectoris>stable angina pectoris(P<0.05);TyG index and MHR were positively correlated with Gensini score(r = 0.621,0.635,P<0.05),and positively correlated with the severity of myocardial ischemia(r = 0.617,0.642,P<0.05).The AUC of TyG index and MHR for the joint identification of mild coronary artery disease and moderate coronary artery disease was 0.917,which was greater than the AUCs of 0.749 and 0.832 for the two conditions individually.The AUC of TyG index and MHR for the joint identification of mild to moderate coronary artery disease and severe coronary artery disease was 0.935,which was greater than the AUCs of 0.770 and 0.767 for the two conditions individually(P<0.05).The AUC of TyG index and MHR for the joint identification of stable angina pectoris and unstable angina pectoris was 0.922,which was greater than the AUCs of 0.812 and 0.824 for the two conditions individually.The AUC of TyG index and MHR for the joint identification of stable angina pectoris,unstable angina pectoris,and acute myocardial infarction was 0.913,which was greater than the AUCs of 0.708 and 0.714 for the two conditions individually(P<0.05).Conclusions TyG index and MHR are positively correlated with Gensini score and myocardial ischemia degree.The combined detection of the two has a higher application value in the evaluation of coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia degree.

Tic disorder(TD), including Tourette syndrome, was first reported in 1825 and officially named in 1885.Until 1961, Haloperidol was proven to be effective in treating TD, which ushered in a new era of clinical understanding and research on TD.This paper introduces the history of research, development issues and research prospects related to TD.

Tic disorder (TD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that starts in childhood with tics as its primary clinical manifestation.It is a group of movement disorders with unknown causes.At present, the main pathogenic genes of TD have not been identified.In this paper, TD neurotransmitter-associated susceptibility genes ( DRD2, DRD4, SLC6A4, HDC, ADRA2A), related susceptibility gene variations ( ASH1L, CELSR3, PNKD, NRXN1, CNTN6), and other susceptibility genes ( FLT3, SLITRK1) were reviewed to provide references for the precision treatment based on gene variations.

Objective:To investigate the enrollment scale and distribution of Master's Degree in Pediatrics programs in China, and to provide a reference for promoting pediatric education and disciplinary development.Methods:Data on colleges and universities authorized to award Master's Degree in Pediatrics in 2023 were collected, sorted, and analyzed for the number, structure, distribution, and enrollment scale and direction of these institutions using descriptive statistics.Results:Among the 117 clinical medicine academic master's degree programs in China, 72 enroll pediatric academic master's degree candidates, with an enrollment of 260 students. Among the 120 master's degree programs in clinical medicine, 104 enroll professional master's degree candidates, enrolling 1 195 students. Enrollment is mainly concentrated in East China, "non-double first-class" colleges and universities, medical colleges and universities with subject level B, and enrollment is carried out in the direction of secondary disciplines.Conclusions:The number of colleges and universities authorized to award Master's Degree in Pediatrics was small, and the distribution of these colleges and universities was unbalanced. The enrollment scale was small and the orientation of Professional Master's Degree was not reasonable. Some colleges and universities were authorized to award Master's Degree in Pediatrics, but did not enroll any students. It is suggested to increase the number of colleges and universities authorized to award Master's Degree in Pediatrics and strengthen the staffing of pediatric departments. The aim is to expand the enrollment scale of candidates for Master's Degree in Pediatrics, improving the differential training of candidates for Academic Master's Degree and Professional Master's Degree, and attach importance to the construction of pediatrics.

Objective To provide alternative delivery methods of novel oral antitumor drugs for patients with dysphagia.Methods The retrieval range was determined according to the"Guidelines for Clinical Application of Novel Antitumor Drugs(2022 edition)".By consulting the instructions and searching databases such as PubMed,Micromedex,UpToDate,etc.,the preparation,stability,storage,and related clinical information of temporary liquid drug formulations were obtained.Results Seventy novel oral anticancer drugs were included in the literature search.Thirty-three drugs had relevant literature or data supporting alternative administration methods,only eight had information on alternative administration in the instructions,and the level of evidence for other drugs varied.Conclusion The evidence levels were low for most temporary liquid formulations,and medical teams should fully consider the advantages and disadvantages of using these products outside the instructions and use them with caution.

Objective To analyze the influence of shaping on the bending strength of bone plates and the influence of different locking nail distributions on plate force to provide biomechanical references for shaping plates and selecting different locking nail distributions.Methods Finite element simulation analysis of the four-point bending strength of a plate was performed according to the YY/T 0342-2020 standard.Theoretical analysis and finite element simulation method were used to analyze the force on prosthesis models with different lock-nail distributions.Results At 30° bending,the 3.7 mm-thick plate had 28%higher equivalent plastic strain than the 2.7 mm-thick plate.The 3.7 and 2.7 mm-thick plates had ultimate bending angles of 55° and 67°,respectively.The crease had little impact on the plate stress.The four-point bending strength and equivalent bending stiffness of the unshapeed structure were 2.64 N·m and 1.12 N·m2,respectively.The four-point bending strength and equivalent bending stiffness with the crease were 2.63 N·m and 1.10 N·m2,respectively.After forward and backward bending,the four-point bending strength of the plate decreased from 2.64 to 2.45 N·m by approximately 7.72%,and the equivalent bending stiffness decreased from 1.12 to 0.98 N·m2 by approximately 12%.The impact was obvious.After implantation of tamponade screws,the four-point bending strength of the single-hole plate improved significantly from 2.64 to 3.15 N·m,by approximately 19.32%and the equivalent bending stiffness increased from 1.12 to 1.14 N·m2,by approximately 2.1%.At least two locking holes were reserved on both sides of the fracture line.Not inserting the locking screw reduced the stress by approximately 50%compared with the full insertion of the locking screw.During 15-week postoperative walking without bone callus formation,the material stress of TC4 reached 852.7 MPa and yielding occurred.Conclusions In a clinical scenario where larger shaping is required,it is not suitable for plates with larger thicknesses and plate fractures are more likely to occur after large-thickness shaping.This can guide the clinical selection of plates with appropriate thickness based on the shaping angle,and tamponade screws can be implanted in extreme cases.Fixing locking screws clinically is recommended;however,a method of fixing the locking screws with full screws is not recommended.The biomechanical effect is best when two locking holes at both ends of the fracture line are maintained without fixing the locking screws.

AIM:To investigate the effect of hydrogen sulfide(H2S)on ferroptosis and functional impairment induced by oxidized high-density lipoprotein(ox-HDL)in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs),and to ex-plore its mechanisms.METHODS:The HUVECs were cultured in vitro and exposed to 200 mg/L ox-HDL,ferroptosis in-hibitor ferrostatin-1(Fer-1),protein kinase B(PKB/Akt)inhibitor MK-2206 2HCl(MK),Akt agonist SC79,and/or H2S for 24 h.Western blot was used to identify the relevant proteins.Intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)were analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining.Intracellular iron was measured using an iron detection kit.The number of monocytes adhering to endothelial cells was counted using the monocyte adhesion assay.RESULTS:Compared with control group,acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(ACSL4)protein expression in ox-HDL group was elevated by 1.45-fold(P<0.01),glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)protein expression was decreased by 29.79%(P<0.05),and ROS levels and iron ion content were elevated by 4.81-fold and 1.40-fold,respectively(P<0.01).The ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt were decreased by 45.65%and 41.68%,respectively(P<0.01),endo-thelial cell function-related protein IL-6,ICAM-1 and TNF-α expression was elevated 1.18-fold,1.24-fold and 1.41-fold(P<0.05),respectively,eNOS protein expression was decreased by 35.24%(P<0.01),and monocyte adhesion was ele-vated 3.43-fold(P<0.01).Compared with ox-HDL group,the endothelial cell iron death-related protein ACSL4 was de-creased by 22.32%(P<0.05),GPX4 was increased by 1.27-fold(P<0.01),and the p-Akt/Akt ratio was increased by 1.52-fold(P<0.01)in ox-HDL+H2S group.The fluorescence microscopy results showed that the ROS was decreased by 50.35%(P<0.01).The IL-6,ICAM-1 and TNF-α protein expression was decreased by 13.34%,9.83%and 13.46%(P<0.05),respectively,eNOS was elevated by 1.22-fold(P<0.01),and the number of monocyte adhesion was de-creased by 59.05%(P<0.01).Compared with ox-HDL group,GPX4 protein expression in ox-HDL+SC79 group was ele-vated by 1.49-fold(P<0.01),ACSL4 expression was decreased by 20.72%(P<0.05),and ROS and iron ions were de-creased by 59.31%and 23.85%(P<0.05),respectively.Compared with ox-HDL+H2S group,GPX4 protein expression was decreased by 21.28%,and ACSL4 protein expression was increased by 1.16-fold in ox-HDL+H2S+MK group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:H2S activates Akt to inhibit ox-HDL-induced ferroptosis in HUVECs and alleviate their func-tional damage.

Aim To explore the role of the ten-eleven translocation 2(TET2)/ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase hinge protein(UQCRH)axis in the inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC)apoptosis by fibroblast growth fac-tor-2(FGF-2).Methods Cultured VSMCs were divided into control group,FGF-2 group,and FGF-2+fibroblast growth factor receptor(FGFR)pan-inhibitor LY2874455 group.VSMCs overexpressing TET2(OETET2)or UQCRH(OEUQCRH)were divided into control group,FGF-2 group,and OETET2+FGF-2 or OEUQCRH+FGF-2 group.Ho-echst33342 and PI staining were used to detect cell apoptosis,CCK-8 assay was employed to measure cell proliferation,and Western blot was used to examine the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins pro-Caspase-3,cleaved Caspase-3,Bax,Bcl-2,as well as TET2 and UQCRH.The NCBI and methprimer websites were utilized for predicting and analyzing CpG island sites in the UQCRH gene promoter.Results FGF-2 could inhibit VSMC apoptosis,promote proliferation,downregulate apoptosis-related proteins cleaved Caspase-3,Bax,TET2,and UQCRH expression,and upregulate anti-ap-optotic protein Bcl-2 expression(compared with control group,P＜0.05).However,it did not affect pro-Caspase-3 ex-pression(compared with control group,P＞0.05).LY2874455 could counteract the effects of FGF-2(compared with FGF-2 group,P＜0.05).Overexpression of TET2 or UQCRH could reverse the anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative effects of FGF-2 on VSMC,with upregulation of apoptosis-related protein expression and downregulation of anti-apoptotic protein expression(compared with FGF-2 group,P＜0.05).The UQCRH gene promoter region contained three CpG islands.Overexpression of TET2 could upregulate UQCRH expression in VSMC treated with FGF-2(compared with FGF-2 group,P＜0.05).Conclusion FGF-2,by inhibiting TET2 expression and UQCRH expression,reduces VSMC apoptosis and promotes its proliferation.

Tic disorders（TD）are common neurodevelopmental disorders whose pathogenesis is unknown.As a non-invasive examination，electroencephalography（EEG）is widely used in the diagnosis of TD.Due to the high temporal resolution of the EEG signal，when combined with standardized analysis techniques，it can not only be used to understand the physiological functions of the subject，but also to reflect the pathophysiological changes of the disease.Based on the data analysis technology of EEG，this paper reviews the progress of brain connectivity and brain network analysis，time-frequency analysis，and EEG complexity of TD，summarizes the shortcomings of existing research，and provides new ideas for further in-depth study of its pathophysiological mechanism.

Correctly identifying the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders can prevent the continued use of unnecessary treatments and facilitate timely escalation to experimental or even invasive treatment.However, there is still a lack of a standard definition for the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders.Led by Professor Davide Martino from the University of Calgary in Canada, several rounds of web-based Delphi surveys were conducted to formulate expert clinicians′ consensus-based definition for treatment failure in chronic tic disorders.This consensus defines the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders from 4 aspects of behavioral and pharmacological interventions: lack of efficacy, adherence, tolerability and behavioral disorders.In addition, it further defines the failure of behavioral intervention as a whole and pharmacological intervention as a whole.This article interprets the process and key contents of the consensus, and discusses the definition of refractory tic disorders to help clinicians improve their understanding of the treatment failure in chronic tic disorders.
