Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor de-escalation and nicorandil therapy in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 300 elderly patients with ACS were selected from the Sixth and Seventh Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Integrative Medicine Emergency Rescue and First Aid Hospital from November 2016 to June 2019,including 153 males and 147 females,aged>65 years old.All the patients received PCI,and all had double antiplatelet therapy(DAPT)scores≥2 and a new DAPT(PRECISE-DAPT)score of≥25.All patients were divided into two groups by random number table method before operation:ticagrelor group(n=146,ticagrelor 180 mg load dose followed by PCI,and ticagrelor 90 mg bid after surgery)and ticagrelor de-escalation + nicorandil group(n=154,ticagrelor 180 mg load dose followed by PCI,ticagrelor 90 mg bid+nicorandil 5 mg tid after surgery,changed to ticagrelor 60 mg bid+ nicorandil 5 mg tid 6 months later).Follow-up was 12 months.The composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction and stroke,the composite end points of mild hemorrhage,minor hemorrhage,other major hemorrhage and major fatal/life-threatening hemorrhage as defined by the PLATO study,and the composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction,stroke and bleeding within 12 months in the two groups were observed.Results The comparison of general baseline data between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).There was also no significant difference in the composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction and stroke between the two groups(P>0.05).The cumulative incidence of bleeding events in ticagrelor de-escalation + nicorandil group was significantly lower than that in ticagrelor group(P<0.05),while the composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction,stroke and bleeding were also significantly lower than those in tecagrelor group(P<0.05).Conclusion In elderly patients with ACS,the treatment of ticagrelor de-escalation + nicorandil after PCI may not increase the incidence of ischemic events such as cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction or stroke,and it may reduce the incidence of hemorrhagic events.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of miRNA-933 on the apoptosis and proliferation of human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2 and its mechanism.Methods Firstly,with human liver tissue for research,gene microarray technology was used to detect the differentially expressed genes in liver tissue between liver cirrhosis/chronic hepatitis B tissue and normal liver tissue,among which the significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were identified,and thus miRNA-933 was determined as the research object.Then,with the human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2 for research,miRNA-933 mimic and inhibitor(miRNA-933 siRNA)were used to construct the LX-2 models of overexpression and knockdown,and the cells transfected with mimic-NC(overexpression)or siRNA-NC(knockdown)were established as the negative control group.Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression levels of miRNA-933 and activation biomarkers;techniques such as cell proliferation assay and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effect and mechanism of miRNA-933 on cell apoptosis,proliferation,and activation.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups;a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups,and Bonferroni correction was also performed.Results A total of 18 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were obtained based on the results of gene microarray,among which miRNA-933 was significantly downregulated(P<0.05).After LX-2 cells were transfected with miRNA-933 mimic or siRNA,compared with the negative control group,miRNA-933 siRNA significantly downregulated the expression of miRNA-933(P=0.000 7),while miRNA-933 mimic significantly upregulated the expression of miRNA-933(P=0.000 3).Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR showed that miRNA-933 siRNA significantly upregulated the expression of collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA(P<0.001),while miRNA-933 mimic significantly inhibited the expression of collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA(P<0.05).Flow cytometry showed that compared with the negative control group,miRNA-933 siRNA significantly downregulated the apoptosis rate of LX-2 cells(P=0.031 9),and miRNA-933 mimic significantly upregulated the apoptosis rate of LX-2 cells(P=0.005 5).Western blot showed that compared with the negative control group,miRNA-933 siRNA could inhibit the expression of Caspase-3(P=0.006 7)and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1(PARP-1)(P=0.003 0)and upregulate the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)in LX-2 cells(P=0.002 0),while miRNA-933 mimic could significantly upregulate the expression of Caspase-3(P=0.011 8)and PARP-1(P=0.049 5)and downregulated the expression of Bcl-2(P=0.002 1).Cell proliferation assay showed that compared with the negative control group,miRNA-933 siRNA could promote the proliferation of LX-2 cells(P=0.011 5),while on the contrary,miRNA-933 mimic could inhibit the proliferation of LX-2 cells(P=0.001 2).Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR showed that miRNA-933 siRNA significantly inhibited the expression of Kruppel-like factor 6(KLF6)and downregulated the expression of activating transcription factor 4(ATF4),activating transcription factor 3(ATF3),and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP),while miRNA-933 mimic promoted the expression of the above proteins(all P<0.05).Conclusion This study shows that miRNA-933 may promote cell apoptosis and inhibit cell activation and proliferation by promoting the activation of the KLF6/ATF4/ATF3/CHOP/Bcl-2 signal axis in LX-2 cells.

Objective To understand the changing trend of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)monitoring inde-xes in 50 secondary and higher grade hospitals in a city for 6 consecutive years from 2017 to 2022.Methods Infec-tion monitoring indexes from 50 secondary or higher grade hospitals in the city for 6 consecutive years were collec-ted,and changing trend of HAI monitoring indexes were compared.Results The number of full-time HAI manage-ment professionals increased from 91 in 2017 to 165 in 2022.The utilization rate of HAI information system in-creased from 17.00％in 2017 to 54.00％in 2022.In 6 consecutive years from 2017 to 2022,the incidence of HAI(0.91％vs 0.59％),prevalence rate of HAI(2.36％vs 1.08％),infection rate of class I incision surgical site in-fection(0.33％vs 0.16％)in 50 secondary or higher grade hospitals all showed downward trends,while health care workers'hand hygiene compliance rate showed an upward trend(61.03％vs 85.04％).Incidences of vascular cathe-ter-related bloodstream infection,ventilator-associated pneumonia,and catheter-associated urinary tract infection all showed downward trends.Incidence of HAI,prevalence rate of HAI,health care workers'hand hygiene compli-ance rate,and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in tertiary hospitals were all higher than those in secon-dary hospitals,while surgical site infection rate of class Ⅰ incision in secondary hospitals was higher than that in tertiary hospitals,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.001).Conclusion Standardizing the monitoring of HAI,as well as improving the prevention and control system and measures of HAI according to the monitoring results can reduce the incidence of HAI.

Objective:To investigate the effects of early postoperative nutritional management under enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) guidelines on nutritional biochemical indicators and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery. Method:Ninety-four patients who underwent lumbar posterior internal fixation + intervertebral fusion surgery in Department of Orthopedics Ⅲ of Ningxia Medical University General Hospital from January 2020 to March 2021 were randomly divided into an intervention group (n=47) and a control group (n=47). The intervention group received nutritional intervention by a clinical nutritionist at 2 hours after anesthesia recovery, and the control group started to eat liquid diet at 6 hours after anesthesia recovery. The protein-calorie intake, blood glucose, total protein, albumin, hemoglobin, postoperative hospitalization time and total hospitalization time of the two groups were observed. Results:The protein-calorie intake of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group on the day of surgery and the first 3 days after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The blood glucose level of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group on the first day after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The total protein level of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group on the third day after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The albumin and hemoglobin levels of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group on the first and third days after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The incidence of abdominal distension and the length of hospital stay in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion:Early postoperative nutritional management has a certain effect on improving nutritional and biochemical indicators and shortening the length of hospital stay in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery.

Objective:To analyze the blood differential metabolites of patients with intrahepatic cholestasis (IHC) by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics technology so as to find potential metabolic target.Method:Serum samples were collected from thirty patients with intrahepatic cholestasis and thirty healthy individuals after metabolomics analysis. The differential metabolites were initially screened based on the multiple differences and significance. KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on the differential metabolites to determine the candidate targets. The potential clinical application value of these characteristic metabolites was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve.Result:A total of thirty patients with intrahepatic cholestasis and thirty healthy adults were included. The age difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The clinical condition was consistent with the statistically significant differences in liver biochemical indicators, blood routine, coagulation, and inflammatory indicators between the two groups ( P<0.05). Furthermore, a blood metabolomics screening analysis revealed 99 differentially expressed metabolites associated with intrahepatic cholestasis. Of these, 15 showed statistically significant differences. Glucose, lipid, and energy metabolisms were the various primary types of differential metabolites involved. The receiver operating characteristic curve>0.9 included the following twelve kinds of metabolites: 1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde, 6-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-acetamide, phenylalanyl tryptophan, 1-methylguanosine, 2-ethoxy-5-methylpyrazine, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole, methylthioadenosine, alanylisoleucine, anabsinthin, N-acetyl-DL-histidine monohydrate, N-methylnicotinamide, and others. The fifteen metabolites that were previously identified and calculated according to the differential quantitative value of the metabolite corresponding ratio exhibited fold-changes in the upregulated and downregulated potential biomarkers (phenylalanine tryptophan, phenylalanine, 5'-methylthioadenosine, anabsinthin, and N-methylnicotinamide) in combination with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve>0.9. Conclusion:Phenylalanyl tryptophan, phenylalanylalanine, 5'-methylthioadenosine, anabsinthin, and N-methylnicotinamide may serve as potential metabolic markers to distinguish patients with cholestasis from healthy controls. N-methylnicotinamide, among them, is of great importance as a potential marker.

With the continuous development of science and technology,environmental pollution has become increasingly severe,which makes environmental monitoring crucial.In recent years,electrochemical sensing strategy has attracted wide attention due to its advantages such as low cost,easy operation and fast detection speed.However,the detection performance still faces many challenges such as low sensitivity,high limit of detection and poor selectivity.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)is a kind of ordered network porous crystal formed by the coordination bond of organic ligands and metal ions/ion clusters,which can be used to prepare high-performance electrode materials for construction of electrochemical sensors because of their characteristics of large specific surface area,adjustable pore size and diverse structure.However,the poor conductivity and stability of MOFs result in poor electrochemical detection performance,which seriously limits their extensive applications in the field of electrochemistry.Combining MOFs with other functional materials can not only overcome the inherent defects of MOFs but also have the superior properties of both MOFs and functional materials,and the synergistic effect between MOFs and functional materials is conducive to improving the detection performance.Therefore,MOFs composites have been widely used in the electrochemical detection of environmental pollutants.This paper reviewed the applications progress of electrochemical sensors based on MOFs composites(MOFs combine with carbon materials,conductive polymers,metal nanoparticles or MOFs)in detection of environmental pollutants(Pesticides,heavy metal ions,phenolic compounds and nitrites)in the past five years.The prospects and challenges of electrochemical sensors based on MOFs composites for detection of environmental pollutants were also discussed.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of icar-itin(ICT)on D-galactose(D-gal)-induced TM4 ser-toli cell junctional function damage in vitro.Methods TM4 cells were divided into the normal control group and D-gal treatment group with different concentra-tions.The expression changes of TM 4 cell junction function-related proteins(ZO-1,Occludin,β-catenin and Cx43)and ERα/FAK signaling pathway-related proteins(ERα,FAK and pY397-FAK)were detected by Western blot.The concentration of ICT was screened by MTT method.TM4 cells were divided into normal control group,D-gal treatment group,and D-gal treatment+different concentrations of ICT group.The expression levels of the above proteins were detected by Western blot.Molecular docking was used to study the interaction between ERα and ICT,meanwhile predict the affinity between them.Finally,TM4 cells were di-vided into normal control group,D-gal treatment group,ERα inhibitor group,D-gal+ICT group,and ERα inhibitor+ICT group.The expression levels of the above proteins were detected by Western blot.Re-sults Compared with the normal control group,the ex-pression of junctional function-related proteins(ZO-1,Occludin,β-catenin and Cx43)and ERα/FAK signa-ling pathway-related proteins(ERα,FAK and pY397-FAK)were significantly down-regulated.After treat-ment with ICT,the expression of above proteins were significantly up-regulated.The docking results of ERα and ICT molecules revealed the formation of two hydro-gen bonds between Asp351 amino acid residue of ERα and ICT,with bond distances measuring 3.4? and 2.4?.Additionally,the docking binding energy be-tween them was found to be lower than-7 kcal·mol-1.After TM4 cells were treated with ERα inhibi-tor,the expression of above proteins and ERα/FAK signaling pathway-related proteins were significantly down-regulated,while the expression levels of the a-bove proteins did not change significantly after being given ICT protected group.Conclusions D-gal can cause damage to the junctional function of TM4 cells,and ICT can improve this damage,which may be related to the up-regulation of ERα/FAK signaling pathway.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Abstract: Objective　To find out the existing problems and provide reference for further improving the quality of report information by analyzing the report cards of COVID-19 and the positive report cards of primary screening reported in Ningxia. Methods　All COVID-19 case cards from 2020 to 2021 and initial screening positive cards were derived from the Chinese Information System for Disease Control and Prevention according to final review date. The timeliness of case reporting, timeliness of case review, completeness and accuracy of the case cards were analyzed. Results　In Ningxia, the first case of COVID-19 was reported on January 20, 2020, and as of December 31, 2021, 122 confirmed cases and 4 symptomatic infected cases were reported. In 2021, the timely reporting rate of COVID-19 was 98.00%, which increased by 8.24% compared with 2020 (90.54%). Compared with 2020, the average time limit for diagnosis to reporting of COVID-19 in 2021 was shortened by 83.12%; in 2021, the timely review rate of COVID-19 was 100.00%, which increased by 13.84% compared with 2020 (87.84%). Compared with 2020, the time from reporting to final review was shortened by 98.91%. In 2021, the timely rate of positive reports in COVID-19 in Ningxia was 90.00%, among which the timely rate of reports by county (district) nucleic acid detection institutions was the highest (92.31%), followed by municipal (91.67%) and autonomous region (81.82%). Conclusions　At the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, the timeliness of COVID-19 in Ningxia was poor, and through the implementation of measures such as technical training, supervision and inspection to continuously optimize the staffing of medical institutions and disease control institutions, the timeliness of reporting COVID-19 in Ningxia in 2021 was substantially improved, but there were still some weak links. In the future work, technical guidance and training should be carried out for weak links, and efforts should be made to improve the quality of reports.

The modernization and development of traditional Chinese medicine has led to higher standards for the quality of traditional Chinese medicine products. The extraction process is a crucial component of traditional Chinese medicine production, and it directly impacts the final quality of the product. However, the currently relied upon methods for quality assurance of the extraction process, such as simple wet chemical analysis, have several limitations, including time consumption and labor intensity, and do not offer precise control of the extraction process. As a result, there is significant value in incorporating near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the production process of traditional Chinese medicine to improve the quality control of the final products. In this study, we focused on the extraction process of Xiao'er Xiaoji Zhike oral liquid (XXZOL), using near-infrared spectra collected by both a Fourier transform near-infrared spectrometer and a portable near-infrared spectrometer. We used the concentration of synephrine, a quality control index component specified by the pharmacopoeia, to achieve rapid and accurate detection in the extraction process. Moreover, we developed a model transfer method to facilitate the transfer of models between the two types of near-infrared spectrometers (analytical grade and portable), thus resolving the low resolution, poor performance, and insufficient prediction accuracy issues of portable instruments. Our findings enable the rapid screening and quality analysis of XXZOL onsite, which is significant for quality monitoring during the traditional Chinese medicine production process.
