Objective:To explore the current situation of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From September 2022 to March 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 360 elderly community residents from Xicheng District, Beijing, and Xingtai City, Hebei Province, as the research subjects. The subjects were surveyed using the Intrinsic Capacity Assessment Questionnaire, Intrinsic Capacity Influencing Factors Questionnaire, Barthel Index, and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale.Results:A total of 360 questionnaires were distributed, and 360 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 100.0% (360/360). The overall impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among 360 elderly people in the community was 90.3% (325/360), and the impairment rates in various fields from high to low were sensation, psychology, vitality, cognition, and exercise. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, gender, residential pattern, education level, work status, grip strength, number of geriatric syndrome, self-rated health status, adverse life events, number of social activities, transportation conditions, and social security were the influencing factors of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among elderly people in the community is relatively high. Grassroots medical and nursing staff should assess the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community in health promotion work, identify elderly people with decreased intrinsic capacity early and carry out effective interventions to prevent elderly people from becoming disabled and dependent on care.

Objective:Evaluate the effects of brief mindfulness meditation training on improving negative e-motions,mindfulness attention awareness,and sleep quality in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for coronary heart disease.Methods:Eighty-four patients with coronary heart disease after PCI admitted to the cardiology department were selected.According to the principle of simple randomization,they were divided into an intervention group of 42 cases and a control group of 42 cases.The Self Rating Anxiety Scale/Self Rating De-pression Scale,Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale,and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale were used as eval-uation indicators before and after intervention.Results:The difference in total scores of anxiety,depression,and mindfulness attention awareness before and after intervention in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The difference in total sleep score,sleep quality,time to fall asleep,sleep duration,use of hypnotic drugs,daytime dysfunction,and total sleep score before and after intervention was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:It suggests that brief mindfulness meditation training could alleviate negative emotions in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI,improve mindfulness awareness,and improve sleep quali-ty.

Objective:To explore the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin A 1c/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (HbA 1c/HDL-C) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) in Chinese adults. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, the clinical data of 43 820 community residents (age>40 years) from the Risk Evaluation of Cancers in Chinese Diabetic Individuals (REACTION study; March-December 2012) across eight centers (Liaoning, Guangdong, Shanghai, Gansu, Guangxi, Henan, Hubei, and Sichuan) in China were collected and analyzed. Participants were divided into three groups based on UACR levels:<10 mg/g, 10-30 mg/g, and >30 mg/g. The HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was divided into four groups according to quartile division of the subjects: 1st quartile (Q1<3.79), 2nd quartile (3.79≤Q2<4.59), 3rd quartile (4.59≤Q3≤5.66), and 4th quartile (Q4>5.66). Multivariate ordinal logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between HbA 1c/HDL-C and UACR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to explore the predictive value of HbA 1c/HDL-C to UACR. Results:The 43 820 subjects included 13 452 (30.70%) male and 30 378 (69.30%) female patients, with an average age of (58.00±0.05) years. According to results of one-way analysis of variance analysis, the HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was significantly associated with the risk of increased UACR ( F=495.73, P<0.001). After adjusting for clinically relevant confounding variables in logistic regression model, compared with participants with the lowest HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio (Q1), women with the highest HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio (Q4) had a 1.483-fold (95% CI 1.376-1.598, P<0.001) and men had a 1.161-fold (95% CI 1.019-1.323, P<0.001) increased risk of UACR. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of HbA 1c/HDL-C for predicting increased UACR was 0.623 (95% CI 0.597-0.606), with a sensitivity of 60.18% and a specificity of 54.91%. The HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio showed the highest predictive value of all glycemic and lipidemic parameters. In individuals with well-controlled blood glucose (HbA 1c<6.5%) or lipid levels (HDL-C≥1.0 mmol/L), the HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was still independently associated with the risk of increased UACR after adjusting for confounding variables [ OR(95% CI) of quartile 4: 1.563 (1.210-2.019, P=0.001) in participants with HbA 1c<6.5% and 1.822 (1.687-1.968, P<0.001) in participants with HDL-C≥1.0 mmol/L]. Conclusion:As a novel compound indicator for evaluating glucose homeostasis and dyslipidemia, the HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was independently associated with increased UACR in the general population aged>40 years in China, which was superior to both glycemic and lipid parameters alone.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood helper T cell 1/helper T cell 2 (Th1/Th2), helper T cell 17/regulatory T cell (Th17/Treg) and efficacy of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitor in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:The clinical data of 107 patients with advanced NSCLC combined with COPD who were admitted to Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from April 2021 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with PD-1 inhibitor, and they were categorized into the disease control group (82 cases) and the disease progression group (25 cases) according to the clinical efficacy. Th1/Th2, Th17/Treg and clinical data of patients before treatment were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of patients' PD-1 inhibitor efficacy.Results:Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg before treatment in the disease control group were higher than those in the disease progression group (12.49±1.14 vs. 7.04±1.06, t = 21.26, P < 0.001; 0.14±0.03 vs. 0.09±0.04, t = 6.72, P < 0.001). The proportions of patients with TNM stage Ⅳ, lymph node metastasis and brain metastasis in the disease progression group were higher than those in the disease control group (all P < 0.01). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pre-treatment Th1/Th2 ( OR = 0.744, 95% CI 0.685-0.799, P < 0.001), pre-treatment Th17/Treg ( OR = 0.514, 95% CI 0.465-0.552, P < 0.001), TNM stage ( OR = 1.258, 95% CI 1.049-1.656, P = 0.048), lymph node metastasis ( OR = 1.790, 95% CI 1.223-2.734, P = 0.005), and brain metastasis ( OR = 1.640, 95% CI 1.184-2.348, P = 0.005) were independent influencing factors of PD-1 inhibitor efficacy in patients with advanced NSCLC combined with COPD. Conclusions:Patients with advanced NSCLC combined with COPD who have high Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg before treatment have good outcomes with PD-1 inhibitor therapy.

Objective:To investigate short-term safety, efficacy and the learning curve of this self-developed novel transcatheter valve repair system (Neonova?) in patients with mitral regurgitation, and explore the role of perioperative echocardiography.Methods:Ten patients who visited the Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from June 2021 to March 2022 and met the inclusive criteria were prospectively enrolled. All the patients were at high risk of surgery with moderate to severe or severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Clamps of Neonova? were implanted under guidance of transesophageal echocardiography and digital subtraction angiography. Clinical outcomes, echocardiography indexes and learning curves of this technique were evaluated immediately after intervention, 7 d, 1 month and 3 months post-intervention.Results:The technical success rate was 100% with MR relieved in all patients immediately after intervention. The device and procedural success rates were both 90.0% with 1 patient received surgical replacement at 37 days post-intervention while the others′ reduced to mild (8/9) and moderate (1/9) MR. New York Heart Association class and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire improved significantly (all P<0.001). Mean mitral valve pressure gradient didn′t increase significantly after intervention when compared with that before intervention( P=0.324), and no mitral stenosis was observed. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter decreased significantly ( P=0.008) during follow up.Procedure duration ranged from 60 to 300 (175.8±75.2)minutes. The simple linear regression model between procedure volume and duration showed that procedure duration decreased significantly with the increase of procedure volume ( F=15.857, P=0.004). Conclusions:Neonova? implantation can improve MR severity and clinical symptoms safely and effectively. Transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography are essential for perioperative management of transcatheter mitral valve repair.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between professional identification and learning engagement, as well as the role of academic self-efficacy as a mediating factor between ideological and political education majors.Methods:Totally 441 students majoring in ideological and political education were collected from four local universities by cluster sampling method, and professional identity scale, learning engagement scale and academic self-efficacy scale were used for investigation. SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive analysis and correlation analysis, and AMOS 24.0 was used to conduct structural equation modeling and Bootstrap mediating effect test.Results:The scores of professional identity, academic self-efficacy and learning engagement were (3.854±0.515), (3.496±0.426) and (4.900±0.899). Professional identity was positively correlated with learning engagement ( r=0.658, P<0.01), professional identity was positively correlated with academic self-efficacy ( r=0.735, P<0.01), academic self-efficacy was positively correlated with learning engagement ( r=0.756, P<0.01). Academic self-efficacy played partial mediating role in the relationship between professional identity and learning engagement(effect value=0.266, 95% CI=0.178-0.404), accounted for 63.64% of the total effect. Conclusion:Professional identity can directly affect college students' learning engagement, and also indirectly affect learning engagement through academic self-efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of the domestic D-Shant device for the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) using echocardiography.Methods:Twenty-four CHF patients who were treated with domestic D-Shant device in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from September 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled in the study. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP)/ left atrial pressure (LAP), right atrial pressure (RAP), pulmonary artery pressure, interatrial septal gradient pressure, cardiac index and pulmonary/systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs) were measured before and after implantation using right heart catheterization.Left atrial end-diastolic area index (LAEDAI), left atrial end-diastolic volume index (LAEDVI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), right atrial end-diastolic diameter, right ventricular end-diastolic diameter, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right ventricular tractional area change (RVFAC), device shunt aperture, velocity and pressure, together with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation severity were measured using echocardiography before, and 1 month as well as 3 months after D-Shant device implantation. Clinical data were collected and analyzed including 6-minute walking test (6MWT), New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relation between the changes in PCWP/LAP as well as echocardiographic parameters before and 3 months after implantation and NYHA classification. Binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the predictive factors of NYHA classification improvement at 3-month follow-up after D-Shant device implantation.Results:①D-Shant devices were successfully implanted in all patients. ②Compared with preoperative values, invasive PCWP/LAP systolic, diastolic and mean pressures, transatrial septal gradient, and pulmonary systolic, diastolic and mean pressures decreased significantly after implantation(all P<0.001); Qp/Qs increased significantly after implantation( P<0.001). ③Compared with preoperative values, TAPSE, RVFAC and pulmonary artery flow velocity increased at 1 month after implantation(all P<0.05), whereas a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation grade, and an increase in LVEF and pulmonary artery flow velocity at 3 months after implantation(all P<0.05). Right atrial end-diastolic diameter, right ventricular end-diastolic diameter, LAEDAI, LAEDVI, LVEDVI, LVESVI, ratio of early to late diastolic peak velocities of mitral inflow(E/A), systolic peak velocity of mitral annulus at septal site(S′), ratio of early diastolic peak velocity of mitral inflow to diastolic peak velocity of mitral annulus(E/e′), pulmonary artery diameter, inferior vena cava diameter and degree of tricuspid regurgitation did not change among before, and 1 month as well as 3 months after implantation. There were no significant changes in the device shunt aperture, velocity and pressure between 1 month and 3 months after implantation(all P>0.05). ④The significant improvements in NYHA classification, KCCQ scores and 6MWT were observed at 1 and 3 months after implantation compared with preoperative values (all P<0.01). ⑤NYHA classification at 3 months after implantation was correlated with LVEF pre-post, PCWP/LAP pre-post, TAPSE pre-post and RVFAC pre-post ( rs=0.738, -0.730, 0.738, 0.723; all P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that LVEF pre-post was an independent predictor for NYHA classification improvement at 3 months after implantation ( OR=0.687, 95% CI=0.475-0.992, P=0.045) . Conclusions:Domestic D-Shant device can effectively improve the cardiac function and clinical symptoms in patients with CHF. Echocardiography is a feasible and effective method to evaluate the benefits of domestic D-Shant device for the treatment of CHF.

Objective:To investigate the effect of preoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) on right ventricular function in patients with heart transplantation(HTx) one year after surgery.Methods:A total of 120 patients who underwent HTx in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively recruited.According to the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) obtained by preoperative right heart catheterization, the research subjects were divided into the pulmonary hypertension group (PH group, n=81) and without pulmonary hypertension group (NPH group, n=39). Conventional echocardiographic indices of right ventricular function such as right ventricular area change (RV-FAC), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity (S′), and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) strain parameters including right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RV-GLS), right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RV-FWLS) were obtained to assess the right ventricular function of grafted hearts. The echocardiographic parameters one year after the operation of the two groups were analyzed to compare the differences in right ventricular function and their correlation with preoperative mPAP. Results:The grafted heart RV-GLS and RV-FWLS were significantly decreased in the PH group (all P<0.01), while RV-FAC, TAPSE, and S′ were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). RV-FWLS and RV-GLS correlated with preoperative hemodynamic parameter mPAP( rs=-0.46, -0.54; all P<0.05)while RV-FAC, TAPSE, and S′ were not significantly correlated with mPAP (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative PH correlates with right ventricular function in HTx patients 1 year after the operation. The absolute values of RV-FWLS and RV-GLS in HTx patients with preoperative PH decrease 1 year after the operation. 2D-STI is more sensitive than conventional echocardiography to monitor the changes in right ventricular function in HTx patients after the operation.

Objective:To study the patterns of tocilizumab (TCZ) use, its efficacy and safety in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in routine clinical practice.Methods:A total of 407 patients with RA were enrolled from 23 centers and treated with TCZ within 8 weeks prior to the enrollment visit, and were followed for 6-month. The patterns of TCZ treatment at 6 months, the effectiveness and safety outcomes were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS version 9.4.Results:A total of 396 patients were included for analysis, in which 330 (83.3%) patients received TCZ combined with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), and 16.7%(66/396) received TCZ monotherapy. At baseline, TCZ was initiated in 56.6%(224/396) and 9.6%(38/396) of patients after failure of DMARDs and other biological agents (bDMARDs) respectively. During the 6-month follow-up period, the mean frequency of TCZ administration was (3.7±1.6), the mean TCZ dosage was (7.4±1.2) mg/kg, and the mean interval between doses was (40±13) days. 120(25.8%) patients were on TCZ treatment at the end of the study. Improvements in disease activity, systemic symptoms and patient report outcomes were observed at the end of the study. 22.7%(90/396) patients experienced at least one treatment related adverse event, and 8 patients experienced at least one serious adverse event.Conclusion:This study demonstrates that TCZ treatment is effective in patients with RA when being treated for 6 months with an acceptable safety profile. The duration of TCZ treatment needs to be extended.
