Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical value of endovascular treatment of iliac vein disease via the great saphenous vein approach.Methods:Eighty-six patients with nonthrombotic left iliac vein compression lesions identified by anterograde lower limb vein angiography were divided into 2 groups: group A ( n=46) was treated via great saphenous vein and group B ( n=40) was treated via femoral vein. The success rate of puncture, time consuming of puncture catheterization, postoperative bed immobilization and complication rate of puncture were observed and compared between the two groups. Results:The puncture success rate was 97.8% (45/46) in group A and 100% (40/40) in group B, there was no significant difference between the two groups( P>0.05). The average puncture time was (9.4±2.7) min in group A and (5.5±1.3) min in group B ( P<0.05). The complication rate of group A was lower than that in group B ( P<0.05). The patency rate of iliac vein stent was 100%, as indicated by venous color ultrasound or angiography. Conclusion:Endovascular treatment of iliac vein disease via great saphenous vein approach is a safe and feasible method with less trauma and easier postoperative care.

The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

Objective:To analyze the etiological characteristics of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis caused by serogroup Y Neisseria meningitidis ( Nm) in Fujian Province. Methods:The strain identification, serogroup identification, antimicrobial susceptibility test, molecular typing, average nucleotide identity (ANI), core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis were performed on eight Nm strains isolated from cases of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, close contacts, or healthy population. Results:All eight isolates from Fujian Province in 2024 were serogroup Y Nm strains. The antimicrobial susceptibility test for 12 antibiotics showed that all isolates from Fujian Province in 2024 were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and NMFJ202406 and NMFJ202407 isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid and intermediate to ciprofloxacin, while the others were sensitive to antibiotics such as penicillin, cefotaxime, and ceftriaxone. All isolates were ST-1655 sequence type (ST), except for NMFJ202406 isolate which were ST-2039, and all isolates belonged to clonal complex 23 (CC23). The finetyping antigen profile of all isolates were P1.5-1, 10-1: F4-1. ANI and phylogenetic analysis indicated that the isolates in Fujian Province were mainly divided into two clusters, namely NMFJ202401 and its close contact isolates (NMFJ202402-NMFJ202405), as well as NMFJ202406, NMFJ202407, and NMFJ202408 isolates. Compared to the isolates from Guangdong, Shanghai, and Hebei Provinces, the strains isolated in Fujian Province were more closely related to the strains isolated in Canada (NML2019-167, 2019), Japan (NIID501, 2009), and the United Kingdom (CA41956, 2015), respectively. Conclusions:This is the first report of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis caused by serogroup Y Nm isolates in Fujian Province, which might be transmitted from different sources abroad and have spread in many areas. In the future, the wider usage of tetravalent meningococcal vaccine ACYW135 is needed, and the epidemiological and etiological surveillance of serogroup Y epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis should be strengthened.

Objective:To evaluate the value of integrated PET/MR in assessing myocardial viability in ischemic heart disease.Methods:A total of 39 patients (28 males, 11 females; age (60.1±12.0) years) diagnosed with ischemic heart disease in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively enrolled from September 2020 to December 2021. All patients underwent cardiac 13N-NH 3·H 2O and 18F-FDG PET/MR examinations. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) sequence was included in MRI scan. PET and MRI images were analyzed and myocardial viability of each myocardial segment was evaluated according to the American Heart Association (AHA) 17 segment method. The extent of left ventricular infarcted myocardium was measured based on PET and MRI images. Weighted Kappa test was used to evaluate the agreement of PET and MRI in assessing myocardial viability. The extent of infarcted myocardium measured by PET and MRI was compared by paired- t test, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between them. Results:There was a moderate agreement between PET and MRI in assessing myocardial viability ( Kappa=0.532, P<0.001), with the agreement rate of 69.83%(463/663). There was no significant difference but strong correlation between the extents of infarcted myocardium measured by PET and MRI ((23.89±14.23)% vs (23.55±11.90)%; t=-0.24, P=0.809; r=0.79, P<0.001). In segments with normal perfusion and metabolism on PET, 22.52% (100/444) showed abnormal enhancement on MRI. On the other hand, 39.89% (73/183) of the segments classified as non-viable on MRI showed normal or viable on PET. Conclusion:Integrated PET/MR is able to take full advantage of the complementary nature of PET and MRI, achieving the comprehensive and accurate evaluation of myocardial viability.
