ObjectiveBy exploring the influencing factors of readmission in patients with stable angina of coronary heart disease (CHD) based on real-world clinical data, to establish a risk prediction model of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, in order to provide a basis for early identification of high-risk populations and reducing readmission rates. MethodsA prospective clinical study was conducted involving patients with stable angina pectoris of CHD, who were divided into a training set and a validation set at a 7∶3 ratio. General information, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-related data, and laboratory test results were uniformly collected. After a one-year follow-up, patients were classified into a readmission group and a non-readmission group based on whether they were readmitted. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for readmission. A risk prediction model of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine was constructed and visualized using a nomogram. The model was validated and evaluated in terms of discrimination, calibration, and clinical decision curve analysis. ResultsA total of 682 patients were included, with 477 in the training set and 205 in the validation set, among whom 89 patients were readmitted. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified heart failure history [OR = 6.93, 95% CI (1.58, 30.45)], wiry pulse [OR = 2.58, 95% CI (1.42, 4.72)], weak pulse [OR = 3.97, 95% CI (2.06, 7.67)], teeth-marked tongue [OR = 4.38, 95% CI (2.32, 8.27)], blood stasis constitution [OR = 2.17, 95% CI (1.06, 4.44)], phlegm-stasis mutual syndrome [OR = 3.64, 95% CI (1.87, 7.09)], and elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [OR = 1.30, 95% CI (1.01, 1.69)] as influencing factors of readmission. These factors were used as predictors to construct a nomogram-based risk prediction model for readmission in patients with stable angina. The model demonstrated moderate predictive capability, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.818 [95% CI (0.781, 0.852)] in the training set and 0.816 [95% CI (0.779, 0.850)] in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration (χ² = 4.55, P = 0.80), and the model's predictive ability was stable. When the threshold probability exceeded 5%, the clinical net benefit of using the model to predict readmission risk was significantly higher than intervening in all patients. ConclusionHistory of heart failure, teeth-marked tongue, weak pulse, wiry pulse, phlegm-stasis mutual syndrome, blood stasis constitution, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are influencing factors for readmission in patients with stable angina of CHD. A clinical prediction model was developed based on these factors, which showed good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility, providing a scientific basis for predicting readmission events in patients with stable angina.

Objective :
To analyze the difference of urinary iodine level in Hashimoto thyroiditis ( HT) patients, and to explore the possible relationship between urinary iodine level and HT under different iodine nutritional sta- tus,so as to provide some references for reasonable iodine intake in HT patients.
Methods :
A total of 101 hospi- talized HT patients were selected as HT group and divided into 3 groups according to thyroid function : HT group with hyperthyroidism (41 cases) .There were 25 cases in HT group with normal thyroid function.There were 35 cases in HT combined with hypothyroidism group.In addition,30 healthy subjects were selected as control group. Serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) ,triiodothyronine(T3 ) ,thyroxine (T4 ) ,thyroid peroxidase an- tibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (ATG) were detected by chemiluminescence assay.The size and mor- phological structure of thyroid organs were examined by ultrasonography.Urinary iodine was determined by catalytic spectrophotometry with arsenic and cerium.The nutritional status of iodine was classified into iodine deficiency ( < 100 μg/ L) ,iodine adequacy( 100 -199 μg/ L) ,iodine adequacy (200 -299 μg/ L) and iodine excess ( ≥ 300 μg/ L) .Non-parametric test was used to compare urinary iodine level between HT group and control group,one- way ANOVA and t test were used to compare urinary iodine level between HT group and control group ,and Spearman correlation analysis was used to compare the correlation between urinary iodine level and T3 ,T4 ,TSH, ATG and TPOAb under different iodine nutrition status.
Results :
Compared with control group,ATG and TPOAb levels in HT group increased (P<0. 001) ,and urinary iodine levels increased (P<0. 05) ,with statistical signifi- cance.Compared with the control group in different thyroid function states,only the HT group with hypothyroidism increased the urinary iodine level (P<0. 01) ,and the difference was statistically significant.Spearman correlation analysis showed that urine iodine level was positively correlated with ATG and TPOAb levels in iodine excess condi- tion (P<0. 05) ,and urine iodine level was positively correlated with TSH level in iodine sufficient condition and iodine excess condition in HT patients (P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
The urinary iodine level of HT patients was high- er than that of normal people.When the urinary iodine level of residents is ≥ 300 μg/ L,iodine intake is prone to HT.When the urinary iodine level of HT patients is ≥ 200 μg/ L,iodine consumption is prone to hypothyroidism, and iodine intake should be limited.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of TCM health management based on tertiary management system for patients with myocardial infarction (MI). MethodsA total of 277 patients with non-acute MI were enrolled and given comprehensive TCM health management strategies including health education, lifestyle adjustment, risk factors control, medication and TCM appropriate techniques management through a tertiary management system with "the patient as the core, village/community physicians as the main executive body, and tertiary TCM hospital specialists as the leading body", for a period of 12 months by using a prospective single-arm cohort study. Through patient reporting and medical records surveys, various indicators before and after 12-month management were collected and compared. The primary efficacy indicators were readmission rate and recurrent exacerbation rate, and the secondary efficacy indicators included disease awareness-related indicators, lifestyle behavior-related indicators, cardiovascular risk factor-related indicators and Canadian cardiovascular society (CCS) cardiac function classification. ResultsA total of 255 patients completed the study and were included in the final analysis. The recurrent exacerbation and readmission rates of patients after management were 23.14% (59 cases) and 20.25% (49 cases), respectively, significantly lower than 36.08% (92 cases) and 53.72% (130 cases) before management (P<0.05). Except for knowledge on diabetes diagnostic criteria with no significant difference before and after management (P>0.05), awareness of other knowledge with regard to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were improved after management (P<0.01), as well as the total score (P<0.01). In terms of daily life behaviors, the rates of salty diet, sweet diet and greasy diet were significantly lower than baseline, while the rate of moderate exercise was significantly higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the rates of ongoing smoking and vigorous exercise were not significantly changed (P>0.05). For cardiovascular risk factors, patients' total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, total depression assessment scale score, and total anxiety assessment scale score were significantly reduced after management (P<0.01). Systolic blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) were both higher after management (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and there was no statistically significant difference in diastolic blood pressure (P>0.05). In terms of the cardiovascular disease risk factors reaching the standard levels, the rate of LDL cholesterol <1.8 mmol/L significantly increased (P<0.01), while the rate of BMI <24 kg/m2 and the rate of systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg both decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01) from baseline; the diastolic blood pressure and rate of fasting glucose <7.0 mmol/L were not significantly changed (P>0.05). The patients' CCS cardiac function classification was significantly reduced (P<0.05). ConclusionTCM health management based on the tertiary management system can enhance MI patients' awareness of the disease, change poor lifestyle habits, reduce risk factors such as blood lipids and blood glucose, improve anxiety and depression, increase activity tolerance, and reduce their recurrence exacerbation and readmission rates, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in different doses on circulation fluctuation, anesthesia depth, muscle relaxation and safety during adrenal pheochromocytoma resection.Methods:A total of 78 patients undergoing adrenal pheochromocytoma resection in Shangqiu First people’s Hospital and and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Sep.2020 to Sep.2022 were prospectively selected and divided into two groups with 39 cases in each group by random number table method. The 0.2 μg group were given 0.2 μg·kg -1 ·h -1 DEX 30min before general anesthesia induction, and the 0.4 μg group were given 0.4 μg·kg -1 ·h -1 DEX 30min before general anesthesia induction until tumor vessels were completely clamped. The time cycle fluctuation (heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) ), anesthesia depth, muscle relaxation effect, anesthesia recovery, vasoactive drug use and safety of the two groups were compared. Results:After induction of anesthesia and the end of surgery,HR in the 0.4 μg group was (92.73±9.58) bpm and (84.39±8.65) bpm, both lower than HR in the 0.2 μg group of (103.57±6.91) bpm and (91.53±7.27) bpm, respectively. MAP was (85.30±4.29) mmHg and (80.45±6.38) mmHg, both lower than MAP in the 0.2 μg group of (96.35±5.88) mmHg and (84.92±5.19) mmHg, respectively. After tumor resection, HR and MAP were (80.22±7.30) bpm and (77.46±7.10) mmHg, both higher than the HR and MAP in the 0.2 μg group of (75.14±5.82) bpm and (73.92±6.03) mmHg, respectively ( P<0.05). NI immediately after endotracheal intubation in the 0.4 μg group was (52.23±5.40), lower than that in the 0.2 μg group (58.78±5.92) ( P<0.05) ; The onset time in the 0.4 μg group was (91.00±10.00) s, earlier than that in the 0.2 μg group (105.00±12.00) s ( P<0.05) ; SAS score at tracheal extubation in the 0.4 μg group was 5 (4, 5), lower than that in the 0.2 μg group (4, 3, 4) ( P<0.05) ; The doses of phentolamine, norepinephrine, and nitroglycerin in the 0.4 μg group were (2.64±0.35) mg, (60.42±8.57) μg, and (102.00±12.31) μg/kg·min, respectively, all lower than those in the 0.2 μg group (3.79±0.44) mg, (78.70±10.28) μg, and (113.25±19.67) μg/kg·min ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the 0.4 μg group and the 0.2 μg group ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:The use of 0.2 μg·kg -1 ·h -1 and 0.4 μg·kg -1 ·h -1 DEX in the resection of pheochromocytoma has high safety. The latter has better anesthetic effect, can reduce the dose of vasoactive drugs, improve the state of muscle relaxation, and help maintain the stability of circulation.

Objective:To explore the value of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).Methods:AHF patients admitted to the Emergency Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital from December 2016 to January 2019 were retrospectively included. Clinical data were recorded and SHR was calculated. According to the survival of the patients within 1 year, they were divided into the death group ( n=89) and the survival group ( n=218). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between SHR and the prognosis of AHF patients. Results:A total of 307 patients aged 83 ( range 74-87) years old who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study, including 153 males and 104 females. The age, SHR and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [84 (78, 88) vs 82 (72, 86), 1.11 (0.91, 1.51) vs 1.02 (0.86, 1.27), 5 351 (2 098, 14 039)μg/L vs 4 243 (2 294, 7 565)μg/L ]. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the death group was significantly lower than that of the survival group [53 (45, 57) % vs 58 (44, 64) %, P< 0.05]. Logistic regression analysis showed that SHR was an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients ( OR=2.397, 95% CI: 1.285-4.471, P< 0.05). Median SHR was used to draw the survival curve. Patients with high SHR had a lower cumulative survival rate, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SHR can identify critically ill patients and is an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients.
