Objective To analyze epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Suqian in 2019-2023. Methods A total of 1 869 patients with AF admitted to medical institutions in Suqian from January 2019 to December 2023 were selected as the survey subjects. The diagnosis and treatment data of the AF patients were retrospectively analyzed to explore epidemiological characteristics. A total of 2 000 healthy controls during the same period were selected as the control group. The influencing factors of AF were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results The incidence of AF in Suqian increased with the increase of year, age and labor intensity. The incidence rate was higher (>50%) in patients with male gender, old age, education level of junior high school and below, city living, heavy physical labor, smoking history, drinking history and underlying diseases (coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, hyperuricemia, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hyperuricemia, hyperthyroidism, cognitive dysfunction and anxiety/depression were influencing factors of AF in Suqian (P<0.05). Conclusion From 2019 to 2023, AF risk is relatively high in patients in Suqian, which is closely related to hyperuricemia, hyperthyroidism, cognitive dysfunction and anxiety/depression.

The intervention and prevention of perioperative hypothermia is not only reflected in the technical level, but also reveals the important role of humanistic care in the whole intervention work. If perioperative patients have hypothermia, it is likely to cause a series of complications such as postoperative shivering, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Prevention and intervention was based on a comprehensive understanding of the causes and hazards of hypothermia, especially the impact on the lives of the elderly. Effective supervision was implemented in the whole process of operation, such as dynamic monitoring of vital signs including body temperature, followed by room temperature regulation, body temperature protection and preoperative and postoperative psychological nursing. At this time, the sense of responsibility, good humanistic care of medical staff are of positive significance to effectively prevent and reduce the probability of perioperative hypothermia and accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients.

Objective:To construct an explainable artificial intelligence(AI) model of risk characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC), and to explore its value of it combined with clinical features in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis(CLNM) in PTC patients.Methods:From January 2021 to September 2022, 422 patients(422 nodules) with pathologically confirmed PTC underwent thyroidectomy and neck lymph node dissection in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University were retrospectively collected, the patients were randomly divided into training set and test set according to the ratio of 7∶3. Ultrasonographic features highly correlated with PTC risk characteristics were extracted by traditional machine learning method, and an intelligent prediction model with optimal probability of risk characteristics was established. Then, a risk model for predicting CLNM of PTC patients was constructed in combination with clinical features. The diagnostic effectiveness of the model was evaluated by drawing a ROC curve and calculating the area under curve (AUC).Results:In the AI explaineable model of PTC risk characteristics in the test set, the intelligent diagnosis model of calcification based on logistic regression classification showed the highest diagnostic efficiency, with an AUC of 0.87 ( P<0.05). Compared with the probability model of risk characteristic of PTC alone, the comprehensive model combined with clinical characteristics showed higher diagnostic efficiency in predicting CLNM of PTC patients, with AUC of 0.97, diagnostic critical value of 0.15, corresponding accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 92.65%, 92.76% and 92.54%, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The explaineble risk characteristics of PTC AI model combined with clinical features can effectively predict the cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC, and then provide effective information for clinical decision-making of PTC patients.

The column chromatography and semi-preparative liquid phase chromatography with several chromatographic packing materials, including macroporous adsorbent resin, silica gel, ODS, and Sephadex LH-20, were used for the separation and purification of n-butanol-soluble portion of ethanol extract of Leonurus japonicus Houtt. The structures of isolates were identified by HR-MS, IR, NMR, and acid hydrolysis reaction. Six phenylethanol glycosides were obtained from L. japonicus and identified as leonoside G (1), leonoside E (2), leonoside B (3), leonoside F (4), cistanoside G (5), and salidroside (6). Compound 1 is a new phenylethanol glycoside.

Element doping is one of the strategies for increasing the activity of enzyme-like materials.In this study,cobalt,nitrogen and chlorine-doped carbon dots(Co,N,Cl-CDs)were prepared by one-step hydrothermal synthesis utilizing CoCl2 and glutamate as raw ingredients.In weakly acidic environments,Co,N,Cl-CDs exhibited high peroxidase-like activity and could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)by hydrogen peroxide into oxided TMB(oxTMB),resulting in a distinct color change.Free radical scavenging and electron spin resonance techniques were used to further investigate the catalytic reaction mechanism of Co,N,Cl-CDs,and the reactive intermediates produced during the reaction were identified as hydroxyl radical.Acid phosphatase(ACP)could catalyze the hydrolysis of sodium ascorbyl phosphate to release ascorbic acid,which could reduce the blue oxTMB into colorless TMB.Based on this principle,a colorimetric-switching sensing system for detection of ACP was developed by coupling Co,N,Cl-CDs and ACP.The sensing system demonstrated good linearity in ACP activity range of 0.5-20 U/L,with a detection limit of 0.17 U/L.The developed sensing system was used to detection of ACP in real serum samples with good recoveries(97.1%-105.7%)and reproducibility(RSD<5%).The sensing system developed here based on Co,N,Cl-CDs had many advantages such as low detection cost,process visualization,and high sensitivity,providing reference for detection of ACP.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of nusinersen sodium in the treatment of children with spinal muscular atrophy(SMA).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 50 children with 5q SMA who received nusinersen sodium treatment and multidisciplinary treatment management in Shanxi Children's Hospital from February 2022 to February 2024.Results Compared with the baseline data,67%(8/12),74%(35/47),and 74%(35/47)of the SMA children had a clinically significant improvement in the scores of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders,Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded,and Revised Upper Limb Module,respectively,and the distance of 6-minute walking test increased from 207.00(179.00,281.50)meters to 233.00(205.25,287.50)meters(P<0.05)after nusinersen sodium treatment.Of all 50 children with SMA,24(48%)showed good tolerability after administration,with no significant or persistent abnormalities observed in 2 034 laboratory test results,and furthermore,there were no serious or immunological adverse events related to the treatment.After treatment,there was a significant change in forced vital capacity as a percentage of the predicted value in 27 children with restrictive ventilatory dysfunction,as well as a significant change in the level of 25-(OH)vitamin D in 15 children with vitamin D deficiency(P<0.05).Conclusions For children with SMA,treatment with nusinersen sodium can continuously improve the response rates of motor function scales,with good tolerability and safety.

Heart failure(HF)is the end stage of almost all cardiovascular diseases,including coronary heart disease and structural heart disease.For end-stage HF,medications and cardiac assist devices have limited therapeutic effects,and heart transplantation is associated with donor shortage and immune rejection.Alginate hydrogel has the ability to mechanically support and induce cardiac tissue regeneration and repair.In March 2021,we conducted the world's first transcatheter endocardial alginate-hydrogel implantation in patients with end-stage heart failure,and explored the safety and feasibility of the treatment.Given that patients with heart failure who had undergone cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator(CRT-D)were excluded from previous studies,this paper is the first to report a case of transcatheter endocardial alginate-hydrogel implantation in a patient with heart failure who did not respond to CRT-D,with a significant reduction in the number of visits to the doctor and a significant improvement in the quality of life during the post-procedure follow-up,which may expand the indications for the use of this technology.
