Background and Objectives: There is no dedicated occlusive device for closing coronary artery fistulas (CAFs), and specific efficacy and safety data of various off-label occlusive devices for CAFs closure are scarce. Methods: Patients undergoing transcatheter closure of CAFs from January 2011 to December 2022 were included in the single-center retrospective study. The study population was divided into 2 groups: coils group (n=35) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occluders group (n=66). Results: No significant intergroup differences were observed in demographic characteristics except age. The presence of multiple CAF origins (54.3% vs. 4.5%, p<0.001) and multiple draining sites (51.4% vs. 3.0%, p<0.001) were more common in the coils group. In contrast, the presence of aneurysm (72.7% vs. 14.3%, p<0.001), and large fistula (75.8% vs. 37.1%, p<0.001) were more prevalent in the PDA occluders group. The acute procedural success rate of the PDA occluders group was higher compared to that of the coils group (87.9% vs.62.9%, adjusted odds ratio [OR], 7.20; 95% confidence interval, 1.59–32.64; p=0.01).In addition, no significant intergroup differences were noted in both the recanalization rate (7.8% vs. 20%, p=0.107) and the reintervention rate (3.1% vs. 8.6%, p=0.342). Conclusions Transcatheter closure of CAFs using PDA occluders was associated with significantly higher acute procedural success rates compared to coil embolization with comparable late outcomes.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of comorbidity of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition among primary and secondary school students aged 10-18 years in Tianjin in 2023, so as to provide scientific basis for the combined prevention of common diseases and multiple diseases among students and the construction of school health system. Methods: In September to October 2023, 31 884 primary and secondary school students aged 10 to 18 years in Tianjin were selected using stratified cluster random sampling. Abnormal spinal curvature in children and adolescents was assessed by Sereening of Spinal Curvature Abnormality of Children and Adolescents, while stunting, wasting, overweight, and obesity were determined according to the Screening for Malnutrition among Schoolage Children and Adolescents and Screening for Overweight and Obesity among Schoolage Children and Adolescents. The χ2 test was used to compare betweengroup differences in coprevalence, and multiple Logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk of different comorbidity types in different clusters. Results: The coprevalence of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin was 1.6%, which was higher for girls than boys (1.8%, 1.4%), higher (2.5%) for senior high schools than for junior high schools and elementary schools (2.0%, 0.5%), and higher in rural than in urban areas (2.1%, 1.1%) (χ2=9.45, 141.92, 46.94, P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression models showed that junior high school girls had a higher risk of incorrect posture comorbid with stunting and wasting (OR=4.52, 95%CI=1.84-11.06) and incorrect posture comorbid with overweight and obesity (OR=2.67, 95%CI=1.74-4.10) than boys, and that scoliosis/sagittal spinal abnormality comorbid with stunting and wasting (OR=0.10, 95%CI=0.02-0.44) risk was lower than that of boys, senior high school girls had a lower risk of scoliosis/sagittal spinal abnormality comorbid with overweight and obesity (OR=0.27, 95%CI=0.11-0.66) (P<0.05). Conclusions The coprevalence of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition is specific among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin, and the comorbidity type varies by gender and education stage. There is a need to increase prevention and control of spinal curvature abnormalities in school health working, intensive screening of key populations, and timely intervention.

Jinlingzi San is a formula frequently used in treating pain syndrome， first recorded in the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease， Suitability of Qi， and the Safeguarding of Life as Discussed in the 'Basic Questions' written by LIU Wansu in the Jin Dynasty. Jinlingzi San is composed of 2 Chinese medicinals Toosendan Fructus and Corydalis Rhizoma with a concise composition and exact clinical efficacy， having been included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas （Second Batch： Han Chinese Medicine）. The formula name， historic evolution， medicine origins， composition， dosage， decocting methods， and ancient and modern clinical application were sorted out and analyzed with the bibliometric method. A total of 209 pieces of information were collected from ancient books and literature. After screening， 49 pieces of effective data involving 45 ancient books were included. Results showed that the name of Jinlingzi San was first recorded in Secret Formulas of the Yang Family written by Yang Tan in the Southern Song Dynasty and developed into 3 other versions of the decoction. The Jinlingzi San included in the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease， Suitability of Qi， and the Safeguarding of Life as Discussed in the 'Basic Questions' written by LIU Wansu invariably plays a dominant role. As for the 3 other versions， although they have the same name of Jinlingzi San， their composition and indications are different from those of the original formula， which were therefore viewed as prescriptions based on Jinlingzi San and also included in the research. The medicine origins and processing of Jinlingzi San are suggested： Toosendan Fructus is the dry mature fruit of Melia toosendan of Meliaceae， and the crude is used after cleansing without putamen. Corydalis Rhizoma is the dry tuber of Corydalis yanhusuo of Papaveraceae， which is used after impurity removal， cleaning， and drying. Depending on the conversion from the measurement system in the Jin Dynasty to modern measurement， it is suggested that Toosendan Fructus and Corydalis Rhizoma （41.3 g each） are ground into fine powder， and one dose includes 12.39 g of the powder， which should be taken with an appropriate amount of wine. If wine is not suitable for the patient， the decoction can also be taken with warm water. Jinlingzi San has the effects of soothing the liver， discharging heat， and activating blood to stop pain. As recorded in ancient books， Jinlingzi San is specialized in treating heart pain caused by reversal heat， chest and abdominal pain， hypochondriac pain， jaundice， hernia， and other diseases. Modern studies have shown that modified Jinlingzi San can be used in treating diseases involving the digestive system， the integumentary system， the gynecological system， the reproductive system， and other systems and has wide clinical application in treating epigastric pain， herpes zoster， dysmenorrhea， and other diseases. This study has made clear the key information of Jinlingzi San by textual research of ancient books and literature in the hope of providing a theoretical reference for the clinical application， set prescriptions， and new drug development.

Objective:To analyze the current status of the global burden of stroke disease from 1990 to 2019,to predict the development trend of stroke disease burden in the 30 years from 2020 to 2049,and to provide a basis for formulating national health policies on stroke diseases.Methods:The Global Burden of Disease Study 2019(GBD 2019)database was searched to extract global stroke disease incidence,prevalence,case fatality,and disability-adjusted life years(DALYs)disease burden indicators from 1990-2019,the trends over time were modeled using linear,Poisson,and exponential regressions,prediction and study of the relationship between stroke and sociodemographic index(SDI)based on per capita gross domestic product(GDP)were conducted.Results:The global burden of stroke disease increased significantly from 1990-2019 and is predicted to continue to rise over the next 30 years(2020-2049).In 2049,the global stroke incidence,prevalence,case fatality,and DALYs will increase by 8.53 million(63％),119.83 million(109％),7.79 million(118％)and 118.92 million person-years(79％),respectively,compared with 2019,with a significant increase in the burden of stroke in the elderly population.In the next 30 years,the age-standardized incidence rates of stroke in men and women will be similar,while the age-standardized rates of prevalence in women will be relatively higher,and age-standardized case fatality rates and DALYs in men will be relatively higher.The disease burden of stroke was negatively correlated with SDI.The burden of stroke disease was significantly higher in regions with a low SDI than in regions with a high SDI.Conclusion:The global burden of stroke will increase in the next 30 years,which may be related to the aging of population and closely related to the development of economy.It is necessary to strengthen the prevention of stroke and formulate targeted strategies targeted strategies according to different SDI regions.

Objective To explore effect of Wenyang Qudu formula on serum inflammatory factors and immune index in patients with severe infections.Methods A total of 86 severe infection patients admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Henan Province from January to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects.According to the patient file order,odd numbers were the study group,and even numbers were the control group,with 43 cases in each group.The control group was treated with cefoperazone sulbactam sodium,while the study group was treated with Wenyang Qudu formula in addition to the control group[drug composition:Prepared aconite(first decocted)30 g,Poria cocos 30 g,White peony 15 g,Red peony 15 g,Stir fried atractylodes macrocephala 30 g,Dried ginger 9 g,Roasted licorice 9 g,Cassia twig 15 g,Semen lepidii 15 g,Dragon's bone 15 g,Raw oyster 15 g,Codonopsis pilosula 12 g,Angelica sinensis 12 g,Asarum 3 g,Schisandra chinensis 6 g,and Jujube 12 g].Brew in water,and took one dose daily,once in the morning and once in the evening,for a continuous period of 7 days.The differences in the scores of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms such as fever,dyspnea,frequent urination,urgency,and degree of sputum production,serum levels of interleukin-10(IL-10),C-reactive protein(CRP),eosinophils(EOS),and immune function indicators[immunoglobulin E(IgE),CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+]were compared between two groups after treatment,and observed the occurrence of adverse reactions.Results After treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores(fever,dyspnea,frequent urination and urgency,degree of sputum production),as well as IL-10,CRP,EOS levels,IgE,and CD8+ were significantly reduced in both groups compared to before treatment,CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+ were significantly increased compared to before treatment.In addition,the study group had significantly lower scores of fever,dyspnea,frequent urination and urgency,degree of sputum production,IL-10,CRP,EOS levels,IgE,and CD8+ compared to the control group(fever score:1.36±0.30 vs.2.57±0.46,dyspnea score:1.22±0.31 vs.2.26±0.75,urinary frequency and urgency score:1.30±0.39 vs.2.33±0.82,degree of sputum production:1.19±0.77 vs.2.51±0.85,IL-10(ng/L):9.03±1.67 vs.10.51±2.40,CRP(mg/L):4.68±1.33 vs.7.82±2.53,EOS(×109/L):0.30±0.04 vs.0.46±0.10,IgE(mg/L):104.62±10.73 vs.135.68±14.64,CD8+:0.228±0.016 vs.0.258±0.020,all P<0.05],the levels of CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+ were significantly higher than those in the control group(CD3+:0.636±0.044 vs.0.567±0.055,CD4+:0.537±0.054 vs.0.397±0.045,CD4+/CD8+:1.76±0.51 vs.0.55±0.39,all P<0.05].After treatment,it was discovered that the study group had not experienced any adverse reactions,while the control group had 1 case of nausea and vomiting and 1 case of chest tightness.There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the study group and the control group[0(0/43)vs.0.05%(2/43),P>0.05].Conclusion The Wenyang Qudu formula can reduce the serum factor levels of IL-10,CRP,and EOS in critically infected patients,and improve immune function with good safety.

Objective:To describe the current distribution of daily physical activity time among ele-mentary and junior high school students in Beijing,and to analyze the influencing factors and pathways at the individual,family,school and community levels.Methods:Data were drawn upon from a cross-sectional investigation in Beijing in 2023,and a total of 3 157 elementary and junior high school students were included in the final analysis.Questionnaire was used to collect data on basic characteristics,over-all and in-school physical activity time per day,the number of sports mastered,perceived physical activi-ty benefits and barriers scales,perceived family,school,and community physical activity supportive en-vironment scales.Log-binomial regression model was used to analyze the associations between physical activity time and influencing factors,and structural equation modeling was used for the path analysis of the influencing factors.Results:The reported rates of ≥ 2 hours of overall physical activity per day and≥1 hour of physical activity in school per day among elementary and junior high school students in Beijing in 2023 were 33.1％and 64.8％,respectively.The associations between the number of sports mastered by students and the reported rate of ≥2 hours of overall physical activity per day showed a typical dose-response relationship(P-trend＜0.001).The perceived physical activity benefits-to-barriers ratio(PR=1.24,95％CI:1.20-1.28),scores of perceived family,school,and community physical acti-vity supportive environment scales were all positively associated with the reported rate of≥2 hours of overall physical activity per day(PR=1.51,95％CI:1.38-1.66;PR=1.50,95％CI:1.37-1.64;PR=1.21,95％CI:1.16-1.27).The structural equation modeling showed that the number of sports mastered by the students(β=0.11,P＜0.001),perceived physical activity benefits-to-barriers ratios(β=0.15,P＜0.001),and scores of supportive environment scales consisting of family,school,and community(β=0.13,P＜0.001)were associated with the reported rates of ≥2 hours of overall physi-cal activity per day directly.In addition,the scores of supportive environment scales could indirectly in-fluence the reported rates of ≥2 hours of overall physical activity per day by influencing the number of sports mastered by the students(β=0.21,P＜0.001)and the perceived physical activity benefits-to-barriers ratio(β=0.56,P＜0.001),while the number of sports mastered by the students could indi-rectly influence the reported rates of ≥2 hours of overall physical activity per day by influencing the per-ceived physical activity benefits-to-barriers ratios(β=0.05,P=0.003).The influencing factors and pathways of the reported rates of ≥ 1 hour of physical activity in school per day were similar with those of the reported rates of ≥2 hours of overall physical activity per day described above.Conclusion:The dai-ly physical activity time among elementary and junior high school students in Beijing in 2023 fell short of meeting the national requirement.There was a need to build a supportive environment consisting of fami-ly,school,and community for physical activity,to promote the students'sports skills,to establish the idea of independent physical activity,and to ensure that primary and secondary school students were given one hour of physical activity time every day,both inside and outside the school.

Objective To explore the application effect of air bag compression combined with multi-step automatic decompression in radial artery hemostasis after coronary angiography in elderly patients. Methods A total of 630 elderly patients who underwent transradial coronary angiography in our hospital from March 2023 to April 2024 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into control group, observation group 1, and observation group 2, with 210 patients in each group. The control group received manual compression hemostasis with a three-step air bag compressor after surgery, while the observation group 1 and observation group 2 received automatic compression hemostasis with a customized pressure step compressor for three-step and five-step compression, respectively, on the air bag compressor after surgery. The bleeding rate, delayed pressure release rate, radial artery stenosis rate, radial artery occlusion rate, and nursing work time were compared among the three groups after surgery (after CAG and before removal of the air bag compressor). Pain scores, heart rate, and blood pressure were recorded after surgery and before pressure release at 1 h after surgery. Results The observation group 2 had better results in bleeding rates, delayed pressure release rates, radial artery stenosis rates, and occlusion rates at the puncture site compared with the control group and observation group 1(P < 0.05). The nursing work time in the observation group 1 and observation group 2 was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The pain scores, heart rate, and systolic blood pressures before pressure release at 1 h after surgery were better in all three groups compared with those after surgery (P < 0.05). The pain scores, heart rates, and blood pressures before pressure release at 1 h after surgery in the observation group 2 were better than those in the control group and observation group 1 (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of air bag compression combined with a five-step gradual automatic decompression method for compression hemostasis can effectively reduce the incidence of radial artery complications, shorten nursing work time, and improve patients' comfort.
