Objective:To compare the prognostic values of different classification by using transpulmonary pressure gradient (TPG), diastolic pressure gradient (DPG) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD), and investigated hemodynamic and clinical factors associated with mortality in patients with PH-LHD.Methods:This was a single-center prospective cohort study. In-hospital patients diagnosed with PH-LHD via right heart catheterization at the Department of Cardiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from September 2013 to December 2019 were enrolled. Patients were divided according to TPG (cutoff value 12 mmHg; 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), DPG (cutoff value 7 mmHg), PVR (cutoff value 3 Wood Units), and the combination of TPG and PVR. Baseline characteristic was recorded. All patients were followed up until the occurrence of endpoint event, defined as all-cause death that occurred during the follow-up period, or until April 18, 2022. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to compare the predictive value of 3 classification methods for all-cause death in PH-LHD patients. The optimal cutoff values were calculated using Jorden index. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and log-rank test was used to compare the predictive efficacy of classification methods based on optimal cutoff values or guidance-recommended thresholds for the survival of PH-LHD patients. Variables showing statistical significance in the univariate analysis were incorporated into multivariate Cox regression model to analyze the independent risk factors for all-cause mortality.Results:A total of 243 patients were enrolled, aged (54.9±12.7) years old, including 169 (69.5%) males. During a median follow-up of 57 months, there were 101 (41.6%) deaths occurred. Grouping results were as follows: (1) TPG: TPG≤12 mmHg group 115 patients, TPG>12 mmHg group 128 patients; (2) DPG: DPG<7 mmHg group 193 patients, DPG≥7 mmHg group 50 patients; (3) PVR: PVR≤3 Wood Units group 108 patients, PVR>3 Wood Units group 135 patients; (4) TPG and PVR: TPG≤12 mmHg and PVR≤3 Wood Units group 89 patients, TPG>12 mmHg and PVR>3 Wood Units group 109 patients. PVR ( AUC=0. 698,95% CI:0.631-0.766) had better predictive value for all-cause mortality than TPG ( AUC=0.596, 95% CI: 0.523-0.669) and DPG ( AUC=0.526, 95% CI: 0.452-0.601) (all P<0.05). The optimal cutoff values for TPG, DPG, and PVR were13.9 mmHg, 2.8 mmHg, and 3.8 Wood Units, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis based on the optimal cutoff values or guidance-recommended thresholds showed that PVR and TPG were the predictors of survival ( P<0.05), while DPG did not showed significance ( P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, PVR and log 2N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in PH-LHD patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Classification according to PVR was most valuable in predicting all-cause death in PH-LHD patients, while TPG showed moderate predictive ability and DPG had no predictive value.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of different intensity of wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training on walking function, lower limb motor function, balance function and functional independence of stroke patients. MethodsFrom November, 2021 to December, 2022, 60 stroke patients hospitalized in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 20), observation group 1 (n = 20) and observation group 2 (n = 20). All the groups received routine rehabilitation, while the control group received routine walking training 30 minutes a day, the observation group 1 received wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training 30 minutes a day, and the observation group 2 received wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training 60 minutes a day, for four weeks. They were assessed with Functional Ambulation Category scale (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) before and after treatment. ResultsOne case in the observation group 1 and three cases in the observation group 2 dropped down. The FAC, FMA-LE, BBS and RMI scores improved in all the three groups after treatment (|Z| > 3.448, |t| > 8.102, P < 0.001), and there was no significant difference in all the indexes among the three groups (|H| < 4.643, F = 1.454, P > 0.05); however, the improvement of BBS score was more in the observation group 1 than in the control group (P < 0.05), and the improvement of all the indexes was more in the observation group 2 than in the control group (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training may promote the recovery of walking function, lower limb motor function, balance function and functional independence of stroke patients, and high-intensity training seems to be more effective.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of berberine (BBR) on the proliferation and autophagy of mesangial cells in high glucose (HG) environment and the specific molecular mechanism.
Methods:
Mesangium cells at exponential growth stage were divided into the following groups : normal group,high glucose group,high glucose + BBR treatment group (30,60 and 90 μmol / L) ,high glucose + BBR (90 μmol / L) + AMPK inhibitor Compound C group ( CC group) ; the number of mesangial cells was calculated by high content cell imager.The expressions of type Ⅳ collagen ( Col-Ⅳ) ,fibronectin (FN) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) in mesangial cells were detected by immunofluorescence assay.The protein expression levels of LC3B,Beclin-1, p62,Col-Ⅳ , FN and silencing regulatory factor 1 (SIRT1) / adenylate activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway were detected by Western blot.
Results:
Compared with the normal group ,high content cell imaging showed abnormal proliferation of mesangial cells in the hyperglycemic group.The results of immunofluorescence and Western blot showed that the expression levels of Col-Ⅳ and FN deposited in mesangial extracellular matrix increased in the high glucose group.The results of Western blot showed that the protein expressions of SIRT1,p- AMPK,LC3B and Beclin-1 decreased,while the protein expressions of p-p65 and p62 increased.BBR inhibited the abnormal proliferation of mesangial cells induced by high glucose.BBR could reduce the expression levels of Col-Ⅳ and FN deposited in mesangial extracellular matrix. BBR could increase the expressions of SIRT1 ,p- AMPK,LC3B and Beclin-1 proteins in mesangial cells,while decrease the expressions of p-p65 and p62 proteins. CC group weakened the inhibition of mesangial cell proliferation and autophagy by high dose BBR.
Conclusion
Berberine can effectively inhibit the proliferation of mesangial cells induced by high glucose and increase the level of autophagy,which may be related to SIRT1 / AMPK signaling pathway.

Objective:To screen important genes and characterize their functions and signaling pathways by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) on the gene expression profile of brain tissue after traumatic brain injury (TBI) so as to provide a reference for the mechanism research and treatment of TBI.Methods:The rat TBI gene expression profile GSE2871 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The expression profile of 8 799 genes of all 47 rat brain tissue samples was analyzed by WGCNA. After calculating and selecting the β-weighted soft threshold, undirected weighted gene network was constructed to identify gene sets with a high degree of correlation. Sample information was obtained from the database to calculate the correlation between each trait of the samples and modules. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were performed for the genes in modules related to injury severity and sampling side in order to unvail the biological processes and pathways involved. The gene-module correlation and gene-trait correlation in these key modules were calculated and hub genes were selected.Results:All the rat brain tissue samples and genes in GSE2871 were included in the WGCNA analysis. A total of 22 modules were obtained, which were marked as modules A to V. Modules E, G, T and U were significantly associated with the sampling side. Modules E and G were significantly related to injury severity . GO analysis and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the genes in modules E and G with significant relation to injury severity and sampling side were mainly implicated in leukocyte migration, cell chemotaxis, various immune response regulation, etc. The involved pathways included antigen processing and presentation pathways, cell factor-cytokine receptor interaction, interleukin-17 signaling pathway, etc. While modules T and U with significant relation to the sampling side were mainly implicated in hypoxia response, cell metabolism, cell membrane ion channel regulation, signal transduction, etc. The pathways involved were neurodegenerative disease signaling pathways, ribosomes, autophagy, neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions, etc. Among the key modules significantly relating to traits, Tuba1b/1c, Ifitm3, Cebpd, Nfkbia, Serinc3, Pmpcb and Cyp4a8 were selected as hub genes of the above key modules.Conclusion:The genes significantly relating to rat TBI are mainly involved in pathophysiological links such as immune activation, inflammatory response, abnormal energy metabolism, calcium channel disorders, abnormal autophagy and cell apoptosis.

To construct and develop the home self-sampling processes of cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) detection and evaluate its application effect. An integrated HPV self-sampling detection platform is scheduled to include three terminals: a user terminal, a detection terminal and a medical terminal. It covers a wide range of functions of self-sampling kit acquisition of user, sample logistics tracking, inspection services, report query, medical consultation, health management, and follow-up tracking. A total of 8 053 users applied for self-sampling kits and all completed online user information registration from January to November 2020. The average age of users ranged from 17 to 84 with a median age of 42 years old. Registered users of the platform were distributed in Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hebei, Shanxi, Shanghai, Ningxia, Anhui, Zhejiang, Inner Mongolia, Beijing and Xinjiang. 8 045 users completed self-sampling with a kit return rate of 99.9%. Six users lost the kits during the express delivery, and 2 users had the kits contaminated due to improper application; The amount of exfoliated cells collected from 8 045 cases in the sample kits were all within the endogenous internal standard of the nucleic acid kit, and the qualified rate of kits was 100%. The proportion of test report issued by the detection platform within 3 d accounts for 96.93% (7 799/8 054). Among the 763 positive users, 742 completed 6-month reexamination, with a reexamination rate of 97.25%. Unfortunately, 21 cases were lost to follow-up. Taken together, HPV home-based self-sampling is simple, convenient and efficient in use. It can expand the coverage of cervical cancer screening and may help promote HPV screening.
