Objective To establish a differential model of phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern in stable angina pectoris using radiomics.Methods A total of 91 patients with stable angina pectoris who underwent coronary artery CT angiography in Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to January 2022 were collected,including 47 cases of phlegm and blood stasis pattern and 44 cases of qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.The patients were divided into train set(64 cases)and test set(27 cases)according to the ratio of 7∶3 by stratified random sampling method.3D-slicer software was used to extract the radiomics features of pericoronary adipose tissue(PCAT)images.Principal component analysis was used to visualize the distribution of radiomics features of pattern of phlegm and blood stasis and pattern of qi deficiency and blood stasis.The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis and support vector machine decreasing feature elimination were used for feature selection.The multinomial logistics regression was used for model construction.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to verify the model in the train set and the test set to evaluate the effectiveness of the radiomics features in differentiating phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.Finally,Spearman coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the differential features and clinical physicochemical data.Results A total of 837 radiomics features were extracted from PCAT images by 3D-slicer software.In the principal component analysis,PC1 and PC2 explained 77.9%and 8.1%of the total variance,respectively,and there was a relatively obvious separation trend between the two pattern groups.After feature screening,7 radiomics features were used to construct the differential model of phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of the differential model was 0.844 in the train set and 0.834 in the test set.Spearman correlation analysis showed that the differential features were significantly correlated with cTnI,neutrophil,triglyceride,total cholesterol,and leukocyte.Conclusion The CT radiomics model based on PCAT has a high discrimination efficiency for stable angina pectoris with phlegm and blood stasis pattern and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern.

Purpose To observe the clinical and CT features of severe immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis(CIP)in lung cancer patients.Materials and Methods A total of 174 patients with lung cancer who received immune checkpoint inhibitor(PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors)in Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital from September 1,2019 to March 31,2022 were retrospectively collected.Clinical and imaging features of patients with severe CIP were analyzed.Results There were 23 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of severe CIP.Among them,22 were male patients,15 were younger(＜65 years old),17 had a history of underlying lung disease,16 had a history of chemoradiotherapy and other treatments,and 21 had a history of combined radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy.The median time from the initiation of immune checkpoint inhibitor to CIP was 128(74,348)days.19 patients were non-small cell carcinoma.CIP occurred in 16 patients with right lung cancer,15 had tumor central airway invasion,14 had radiographic features of diffuse alveolar injury/acute interstitial pneumonia pattern,and 20 died during follow-up.Conclusion Severe CIP is likely to occur in male lung cancer patients with a history of basic medical history and radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The clinical manifestations are varied,and the main imaging features are diffuse alveolar injury/acute interstitial pneumonia pattern,and the prognosis is poor.

Objective:To accurately ascertain the whole genome sequencing and the composition of open reading frames (ORFs) of non-replicating Tiantan strain of vaccinia virus (NTV) using next-generation long-read sequencing technology.Methods:NTV, obtained from our laboratory stock, was amplified and purified on chicken embryo fibroblast cells(CEFs), and the full-length genomic nucleic acid of NTV was extracted. The PacBio HiFi sequencing platform was utilized for de novo assembly to obtain the complete genomic sequence of NTV. Using a homology annotation strategy, we identified its ORF composition and compared it with known non-replicating vaccinia virus strains. Results:The total length of NTV′s genome was 171 729 bp, with a GC content of 33%. Its unique inverted terminal repeat (ITR) region comprised hairpin structures, two tandem repeat regions, and three non-repeat regions. NTV contained 166 ORFs, with major differences observed in the ITR and its surrounding regions when compared to MVA-BN and NYVAC. These three strains shared a common set of 138 ORFs. NTV encoded six unique ORFs related to virus evasion of host antiviral response.Conclusions:This study accurately determines the whole genome sequencing and ORFs composition of NTV, and reveals its similarities and differences with other replication-deficient vaccinia virus strains, which pave a way for the development and application of the next generation of monkeypox vaccines and novel viral vectors.

Objective: To explore the association between light intensity physical activity (LPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with body composition, so as to provide data references for improving adolescent physical health. Methods: From August 2020 to January 2021, general information of 694 students in grade one of a high school in Foshan City was collected, and the 24 hour activity behavior and body composition of the students were measured objectively by triaxial accelerometer and bioelectrical impedance tester. Dual component multivariate regression and dual compositional isotemporal substitution model were used to explore the relationship between LPA and SB and body composition. Results: LPA was associated with lower fat relative dominance (FRD) (male weekends FRD=-21.44%, female weekly FRD=-17.83%, weekdays FRD=-18.27%, P <0.05), and LPA was also associated with higher muscle relative dominance (MRD) and bone relative dominance (BRD) (male weekends MRD=12.78%, BRD= 12.87 %; female weekly MRD=11.64%, BRD=9.01%; female weekdays MRD=12.02%, BRD=9.23%, P <0.05). Replacing sedentary behavior (SB) with 10 minutes of LPA could reduce fat proportion [male:weekly -0.15(-0.26--0.04), weekdays -0.12 (-0.22--0.02); female:weekly -0.18(-0.27--0.08), weekdays -0.16(-0.25--0.07)) and increase muscle proportion (male:weekly 0.14(0.03-0.24), weekdays 0.11(0.02-0.21); female:weekly 0.17(0.07-0.26), weekdays 0.15(0.07-0.24)]. Conclusion Interrupting continuous SB with LPA can serve as an intervention measure to promote physical health and fitness in adolescents. School should encourage students to engage in frequent LPA during breaks and after school activities, while avoiding prolonged SB.

Objective:To investigate the optimal monochromatic level for evaluation of in-stent lumen after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) by dual-layer detector CT.Methods:Twenty-nine patients after TIPS were retrospectively enrolled who underwent abdomen enhanced examinations with portal venous phases by a dual-layer detector CT between December 2019 and July 2021. The mixed iterative image (conventional group) and monochromatic images (40 keV group, 50 keV group, 60 keV group and 70 keV group) were obtained by reconstruction. Circular regions of interest were placed in the in-stent of the cross-sectional reconstructed image and in the vertical spinal muscle on the same plane to obtain the corresponding average CT value and noise. The contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) were calculated. Then 4-point scale was performed to evaluate image quality subjectively by 2 physicians blindly and separately. One-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis H rank-sum test was used for the overall analysis between groups, and LSD test or Dunn′s Bonforoni test was used for pairwise comparison within groups. Results:There was no significant difference in noise values among the 5 groups ( P>0.05). The difference of CNR and SNR between the 5 groups was statistically significant ( F=72.28, 56.45, P<0.001). The CNR and SNR in the 40 keV group were the highest, which were 50.4±15.7 and 59.3±18.4 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Subjective scores showed statistically significant differences among the 5 groups (χ2=101.61, P<0.001). The score of the 40 keV group was higher than that of the 60 keV group, 70 keV group, and conventional group ( P<0.001), and there was no significant difference when compared with the subjective score of the 50 keV group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The 40 keV monochromatic image of dual detector spectral CT is the best image to observe the lumen of the stent after TIPS.

Objective:To ascertain the activity concentration of gross α and β in foods around Fuqing nuclear power plant (NPP) site.Methods:Totally 167 food samples of 25 kinds within 6 categories were collected from the surveillance areas and control areas around Fuqing NPP site. The total radioactivity was analyzed using the food samples. Paired rank sum test was used to determine the influence of the operation of Fuqing NPP on the total radioactivity in foods in surrounding areas. The multiple local rank sum test was used to assess the difference in total radioactivity in different types of foods.Results:The average gross α in poultry meat, vegetables, crops, aquatic products, milk and tea was 0.65, 1.96, 1.41, 3.80, 1.33, 7.67 Bq/kg in surveillance areas and 0.56, 3.24, 2.04, 3.70, 2.24, 9.05 Bq/kg in reference areas, respectively, around Fuqing NPP site. The average gross β (subtracting 40K) in poultry meat, vegetables, crops, aquatic products, milk and tea was 7.0, 10.5, 6.1, 23.5, 24.7, 8.6 Bq/kg in surveillance areas and 7.4, 8.3, 14.5, 22.1, 21.3, 11.0 Bq/kg in reference areas, respectively, around Fuqing NPP site. The Wilcoxon paired rank test showed that there was no significant difference in the gross α and β in foods between surveillance and reference areas around Fuqing NPP site ( P>0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis H test showed that the radioactivity of gross α and β in different foods was statistically significant ( χ2=23.325, 13.918, P<0.05). Conclusions:The increase was not found in total radioactivity in the surrounding foods since the operation of Fuqing NPP in 2015.

Objective:To evaluate the in vitro cross-neutralization of serum antibodies in human and mice immunized with inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine against Delta and Beta variants. Methods:Human serum samples after a second and a third dose of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and mouse serum samples after a two-dose vaccination were collected. The neutralizing antibodies in the samples against SARS-CoV-2 strains of prototype, Delta and Beta variants were detected using micro-neutralization assay in biosafety level Ⅲ laboratory. The seroconversion rates and geometric mean titers (GMTs) of antibodies were calculated.Results:The seroconversion rates of antibodies in human serum samples against different SARS-CoV-2 strains were all above 95%. After two-dose vaccination, the GMTs of neutralizing antibodies against the prototype, Delta and Beta strains were 109, 41 and 15, respectively. The GMTs decreased by 2.7 folds and 7.3 folds for the Delta and Beta variants as compared with the prototype strain. After the booster vaccination, the GMTs of neutralizing antibodies against the prototype, Delta and Beta strains were 446, 190 and 86, respectively. The GMTs of neutralizing antibodies against Delta and Beta variants decreased by 2.3 folds and 5.2 folds as compared with that against the prototype strain. The seroconversion rates of antibodies against different SARS-CoV-2 strains in mouse serum samples were all 100%. The GMTs of neutralizing antibodies against the prototype, Delta and Beta strains were 2 037, 862 and 408, respectively. The GMTs decreased by 2.4 folds and 5.0 folds for the Delta and Beta variants.Conclusions:Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine could induce a certain level of neutralizing antibodies against Delta and Beta variants in both human and mouse models. Moreover, a third dose of vaccine induced higher levels of neutralizing antibodies against Delta and Beta variants in human. This study provided valuable data for the clinical application and protective evaluation of the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

Objective    To summarize the experience and lessons of right ventricular decompression in children with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) and to reflect on the strategies of right ventricular decompression. Methods    The clinical data of 12 children with PA/IVS who underwent right ventricular decompression in our hospital from March 2015 to December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 10 males and 2 females with a median age at the time of surgery was 5 d (range, 1-627 d). Correlation analysis between the pulmonary valve transvalvular pressure gradient and changes in Z score of tricuspid valves after decompression was performed. Results    One patient died of refractory hypoxemia due to circulatory shunt postoperatively and family members gave up treatment. There were 2 (16.67%) patients received postoperative intervention. The pulmonary transvalvular gradient after decompression was 31.95±21.75 mm Hg. Mild pulmonary regurgitation was found in 7 patients, moderate in 2 patients, and massive in 1 patient. The median time of mechanical ventilation was 30.50 h (range, 6.00-270.50 h), and the average duration of ICU stay was 164.06±87.74 h. The average postoperative follow-up time was 354.82±331.37 d. At the last follow-up, the average Z score of tricuspid valves was 1.32±0.71, the median pressure gradient between right ventricle and main pulmonary artery was 41.75 mm Hg (range, 21-146 mm Hg) and the average percutaneous oxygen saturation was 92.78%±3.73%. Two children underwent percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvoplasty at 6 and 10 months after surgery, respectively, with the rate of reintervention-free of 81.8%. There was no significant correlation between pulmonary transvalvular gradients after decompression and changes in Z score of tricuspid valves (r=–0.506, P=0.201). Conclusion    For children with PA/IVS, the simple pursuit of adequate decompression during right ventricular decompression may lead to  severe pulmonary dysfunction, increase the risk of ineffective circular shunt, and induce refractory hypoxemia. The staged decompression can ensure the safety and effectiveness for initial surgery and reduce the risk of postoperative death.

Objective: To investigate the smartphone addiction among college students during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its association with daily behaviors and mental health,and to provide reference for heath education and psychological counseling for college students. Methods: An observational study using online quyestionnaire was conducted among 10 357 college students of two provincial medical schools in Guangdong and Shanxi Province from February 24th to March 4th in 2020. Participants were investigated on demographic information, smartphone addiction, daily routine, physical activity, weight status, anxiety, and other health information. Logistic regression with inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity score was used to analyze the association between smartphone addiction with daily behavior and mental health. Results: The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 59.42%. The prevalence of phone addiction was higher in postgraduates, senior undergraduates, students with non-medical major, students living in GuangDong and those without regular exercise habit before vacation(χ 2=47.91，17.78，42.75，138.58，P<0.05). With IPTW, there were significant associations between smartphone addiction and late bedtimes (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.66-1.98) and wake-up times (OR=1.55, 95%CI=1.44-1.68), more sedentary behaviors (OR=1.21, 95%CI=1.12-1.31), less moderate to vigorous physical activity (OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.22-1.44), anxiety (OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.52-3.40), weight gain(OR=1.27，95%CI=1.17-1.37) and other detrimental daily behavior and feelings. Conclusion High prevalence of smartphone addiction has been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with impaired daily behavior and mental health.

Objective:To review and analyze the clinical experience of children with aortic valve stenosis and/or insufficiency treated with autologous pulmonary valve for aortic valve replacement procedure(Ross operation) with ePTFE artificial valve for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction.Methods:From 2015 to 2020, 8 cases of aortic stenosis and/or aortic insufficiency treated by Ross operation in our center were collected, with an age of 0.5-13.2 years old. 4 cases of aortic stenosis were diagnosed preoperatively, 3 cases of aortic stenosis with aortic insufficiency, and 1 case of infective endocarditis involving the aortic valve. The operation was carried out in three steps: Harvest autologous pulmonary valve; the diseased aortic valve was resected and autologous pulmonary valve was transplanted to the aorta by aortic root transplantation; the right ventricular outflow tract was reconstructed by a handmade ePTFE artificial flap blood vessel.Results:In 6 cases, the right ventricular outflow tract was reconstructed by hand-sewn ePTFE trileaflets, and artificial univalve in 2 cases, no death occurred during operation; all patients were cured and discharged. The patients were followed up for 1 to 36 months, with mean of(12.63±12.19) months. There was no long-term death or valvular complications. During follow-up echocardiography indicated 1 case of moderate aortic regurgitation, 1 case of mild-moderate regurgitation, and moderate regurgitation was found in 2 patients with artificial single pulmonary valve. For the remaining patients, they were mild aortic regurgitation, and a trivial or mild pulmonary artery regurgitation with hand-sewn three-leaflets ePTFE artificial vessel; All patients were followed up at the last time with a peak pressure of(6.63±3.46) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) across the aortic valve. The left ventricular outflow tract and aortic annulus shrank slightly after surgery(the diameter of one patient with Ross-Konno operation increased), but the annulus diameter increased with age. There was no need for further intervention.Conclusion:The Ross operation is safe for the treatment of aortic valve disease, it has good hemodynamic effect, and the autologous pulmonary artery has growth potential, especially suitable for children and young patients. Hand-sewn ePTFE with trileaflet vessels for reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract performs well in anti-regurgitation function in the short term or may be used as a replacement material for the homograft/heterograft vessel, but longer follow-up and more cases are needed.
