BACKGROUND:The management of asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains challenging. While transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is established for symptomatic AS, its objective functional benefits in asymptomatic individuals are not well-defined. AIMS:To evaluate the safety and hemodynamic efficacy of TAVR in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and to objectively quantify their functional recovery using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). METHODS:In this single-center retrospective study, 156 asymptomatic patients with severe AS undergoing TAVR with the VitaFlow valve were enrolled. Safety endpoints were adjudicated per Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC-3) criteria. Efficacy was assessed via serial echocardiography and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels at baseline, 1 day, 7 days, 3 months, and 12 months. Functional capacity was objectively quantified using CPET at baseline, 1 month, and 12 months. RESULTS:Procedural success was 100% with no mortality, stroke, or major complications. Hemodynamics improved immediately (mean gradient: 51.6 ± 11.7 to 13.7 ± 7.2 mmHg, p < 0.001) and remained stable at 12 months. BNP levels decreased significantly from 7 days onward (p < 0.05). CPET revealed substantial improvements in functional capacity: peak oxygen uptake (VO₂) increased from 15.6 ± 3.6 to 19.8 ± 4.0 mL/kg/min (p < 0.001), anaerobic threshold (AT) increased, and ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO₂ slope) decreased (all p < 0.001). The incidence of exercise-induced adverse events also significantly declined. CONCLUSIONS:TAVR is a safe and highly effective intervention for asymptomatic severe AS, resulting in immediate hemodynamic improvement and sustained, objective enhancement of functional capacity, as rigorously quantified by CPET.
As excitatory neurotransmitters, glutamic acid (Glu) and aspartic acid (Asp) may play a key role in the pathological process of traumatic spinal cord injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamic changes of Glu and Asp concentrations in blood and spinal fluid of patients with secondary spinal cord injury and their correlation with prognosis, so as to provide evidence for disease monitoring and treatment. In this study, 62 patients with secondary spinal cord injury admitted from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as study subjects. Blood and spinal fluid samples were collected at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days after injury, and the concentrations of Glu and Asp were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. At the same time, the neurological functions of the patients at admission and 3 months after injury were evaluated using the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) scoring criteria, and the patients were divided into a good prognosis group (ASIA score increased by >= 10 points) and a poor prognosis group (ASIA score increased by <10 points). Repeated measurement ANOVA was used to compare the differences of Glu and Asp concentrations in blood and spinal fluid of patients and the control group at different time points, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between Glu and Asp concentrations and changes in ASIA score. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients, and a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of relevant indicators for prognosis. The concentrations of Glu and Asp in blood and spinal fluid of patients with poor prognosis were higher than those of patients with good prognosis at all time points (p < 0.05). The concentrations of Glu and Asp in blood and spinal fluid of patients with poor prognosis were higher than those of patients with good prognosis at all time points (p < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that Glu and Asp concentrations in blood and spinal fluid were significantly negatively correlated with ASIA score (r = -0.65, p < 0.01; r = -0.58, p < 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that Glu concentration (OR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.56-4.29) and Asp concentration (OR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.32-3.84) in spinal fluid 7 days after injury were independent risk factors for prognosis. ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of the combined detection of Glu and Asp in spinal fluid at 7 days after injury was significantly higher than that of single index (p < 0.01). The concentrations of Glu and Asp in the blood and spinal fluid of patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury increase first and then decrease, and are closely related to the prognosis of patients. Early monitoring of these neurotransmitter concentrations after injury is helpful to evaluate the prognosis of patients and provide a reference for the formulation of personalized treatment plans. ROC curve analysis further clarified the diagnostic efficacy of relevant indicators in prognostic judgment.
Research has shown that the concurrent presence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Thyroid Dysfunction (TD) can exacerbate diabetes-related complications and impose a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a nomogram model for predicting the risk of TD in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and to validate its predictive performance. A total of 1853 patients with T2DM diagnosed at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2019 to 2024 were included in the study. The dataset was randomly divided into a training set (n = 1297) and a validation set (n = 556) at a 7:3 ratio using the R software. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors of TD, and these predictors were used to construct the nomogram model. The model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and decision curve analysis (DCA). HDL-C, BUN, gender, GLU, Hypertension, Hyperuricemia, Coronary Heart Disease, and Liver disease were identified as predictors of TD. A nomogram model was constructed based on these eight factors. The model demonstrated good discrimination in both the training and validation sets. The calibration curves indicated a good fit of the model in both datasets. The decision curve analysis showed that the model had good clinical applicability. The nomogram developed in this study can predict the risk of developing TD in patients with T2DM. It enables clinicians to identify T2DM patients at high risk of concurrent TD, which may help facilitate the development of effective preventive measures and improve patient prognosis.
This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Vericiguat through cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). A prospective observational study was conducted from May 2022 to May 2023, focusing on patients with HFrEF admitted to our hospital. Eligible patients were sequentially numbered and enrolled based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were divided into two groups: one receiving standard heart failure therapy and the other receiving standard therapy plus Vericiguat. Data were collected at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-discharge, including NT-proBNP, sST2, and echocardiographic assessments. All patients underwent CPET before discharge and again six months post-discharge for within-subject comparisons. The study enrolled 158 patients, with 79 in each treatment arm. No significant baseline differences were observed in the Weber Functional Classification or CPET parameters. At six months, the Vericiguat group exhibited a significant reduction in patients classified as C (from 31.6 to 7.5
Sepsis-induced lung injury is a serious complication that contributes to the high morbidity and mortality rates in septic patients. This study aims to identify genes associated with sepsis-induced lung injury and evaluate the role of cathepsin B (CTSB) in this process. Here, by analyzing three data sets of sepsis-induced lung injury in mouse models, we identified 23 common differentially expressed genes and performed enrichment analyses. Further experiments demonstrated that CTSB expression was significantly upregulated in the sepsis mouse model, and pre-treatment with the CTSB inhibitor CA-074 markedly improved the survival rate of the mice from 21.05 to 78.95
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) often leads to respiratory dysfunction, in which the impaired diaphragm function is one of the main causes. Respiratory muscle rehabilitation training can be used to improve respiratory function, but its effect on diaphragm function has not been deeply investigated. This study employed ultrasound monitoring to assess how respiratory muscle rehabilitation training affects diaphragmatic function in TSCI patients. In this prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) study, 56 patients with spinal cord injury were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 28 cases in each group. The experimental group received respiratory muscle rehabilitation training twice a day for 15 min each time; and the control group received only the usual care. The diaphragm thickness, diaphragm movement and diaphragm contraction speed of the two groups were measured by ultrasound before and after training. Compared to the control group, the experimental group had significant improvements. Diaphragm thickness increased from 2.05 ± 0.25 mm to 2.38 ± 0.30 mm in the experimental group (P < 0.001), while the control group changed minimally from 2.02 ± 0.22 mm to 2.05 ± 0.23 mm (P = 0.338). Diaphragm movement increased from 1.52 ± 0.20 mm to 1.85 ± 0.25 mm in the experimental group (P < 0.001), versus a small change from 1.50 ± 0.18 mm to 1.53 ± 0.20 mm in the control group (P = 0.315). Diaphragm contraction speed accelerated from 1.20 ± 0.15 cm/s to 1.45 ± 0.20 cm/s in the experimental group (P < 0.001), while the control group changed slightly from 1.18 ± 0.13 cm/s to 1.20 ± 0.15 cm/s (P = 0.380). Respiratory frequency decreased from 20.3 ± 3.4 times/min to 16.0 ± 2.5 times/min in the experimental group (P < 0.001), and the control group changed less from 19.5 ± 2.1 times/min to 18.2 ± 2.3 times/min (P = 0.070). Ventilator removal time was significantly reduced in the experimental group (14.1 ± 1.5 days) compared to the control group (20.2 ± 2.0 days, P = 0.002). Respiratory muscle rehabilitation significantly enhances diaphragm function and respiratory parameters in spinal cord injury patients. Ultrasound monitoring effectively evaluates these improvements, providing a valuable, novel clinical approach for TSCI rehabilitation. While this preliminary RCT demonstrates positive outcomes, the sample size limitation (n = 56) and absence of long-term follow-up should be acknowledged. These aspects will be addressed through larger sample sizes and extended observation periods in subsequent research.
BACKGROUND Cirrhotic patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in the intensive care unit (ICU) have a poor but variable prognoses. Accurate prognosis evaluation can guide the rational management of patients with ACLF. However, existing prognostic scores for ACLF in the ICU environment lack sufficient accuracy. AIM To develop a new prognostic model for patients with ACLF in ICU. METHODS Data from 938 ACLF patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database were used to develop a new prognostic model (MIMIC ACLF) for ACLF. Discrimination, calibration and clinical utility of MIMIC ACLF were assessed by area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA), respectively. MIMIC ACLF was then externally validated in a multiple-center cohort, the Electronic Intensive Care Collaborative Research Database and a single-center cohort from the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University in China. RESULTS The MIMIC ACLF score was determined using nine variables: ln (age) × 2.2 + ln (white blood cell count) × 0.22 - ln (mean arterial pressure) × 2.7 + respiratory failure × 0.6 + renal failure × 0.51 + cerebral failure × 0.31 + ln (total bilirubin) × 0.44 + ln (internationalized normal ratio) × 0.59 + ln (serum potassium) × 0.59. In MIMIC cohort, the AUROC (0.81/0.79) for MIMIC ACLF for 28/90-day ACLF mortality were significantly greater than those of Chronic Liver Failure Consortium ACLF (0.76/0.74), Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD; 0.73/0.71) and MELD-Na (0.72/0.70) (all P < 0.001). The consistency between actual and predicted 28/90-day survival rates of patients according to MIMIC ACLF score was excellent and superior to that of existing scores. The net benefit of MIMIC ACLF was greater than that achieved using existing scores within the 50% threshold probability. The superior predictive accuracy and clinical utility of MIMIC ACLF were validated in the external cohorts. CONCLUSION We developed and validated a new prognostic model with satisfactory accuracy for cirrhotic patients with ACLF hospitalized in the ICU. The model-based risk stratification and online calculator might facilitate the rational management of patients with ACLF.
Objective To investigate the effects of electronic biofeedback combined with nursing intervention and conventional drug treatment on cognitive function in patients with vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia (VCIND). Methods A total of 102 patients with VCIND treated in the Department of Neurology from January 2021 to May 2022 were enrolled and divided into the routine treatment group and biofeedback group according to different treatment methods. The routine treatment group was given conventional drug therapy and nursing intervention; for the biofeedback group, electronic biofeedback therapy was added, based on the routine treatment group. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, (MoCA), Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale, (ADAS-cog), and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were checked before treatment, 2 weeks after treatment, and 3 months after treatment. Results At 3 months of treatment, the scores of the MoCA and ADAS-cog scales in the biofeedback group were better than those in the routine treatment group, while no difference was detected in the HAMD scores before and after treatment and between the two groups. Conclusion Electronic biofeedback therapy for VCIND can significantly improve the MoCA score, reduce the ADAS-cog score and improve the cognitive level of patients and can be used as a complementary treatment for VCIND.
Purpose: Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation is a non-invasive biomarker of coronary perivascular inflammation. This study aims to explore the relationship between pericoronary adipose tissue mean attenuation (PCATMA) and volume with the severity of coronary artery stenosis and plaque characteristics. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 370 patients diagnosed with or suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated differences in PCATMA and PCAT volume among different degrees of vessel stenosis. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to assess the efficacy of PCATMA in predicting non-calcified plaques and severe vessel stenosis, determining the optimal cutoff values. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to study the impact of PCATMA on severe vessel stenosis and non-calcified plaques. Results Patients with more severe stenosis in the left circumflex artery (LCX) had higher PCATMA compared to those with milder stenosis. Vessels with non-calcified plaques exhibited higher PCATMA than those with calcified plaques (-79.3 ± 8.8 HU vs. -85.8 ± 8.8 HU, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher PCATMA specific to LAD, LCX, and RCA vessels was an independent risk factor for predicting non-calcified plaques. LCX-PCATMA ≥ -71.6 HU was an independent risk factor for predicting LCX stenosis ≥ 75% (OR = 2.465, 95% CI 1.387–4.382, P = 0.002) and ≥ 90% (OR = 2.821, 95% CI 1.422–5.596, P = 0.003). Conclusions Vessel-specific PCATMA serves as an independent predictor for the presence of non-calcified plaques, and LCX-PCATMA is an independent risk factor for predicting severe LCX stenosis.
OBJECTIVE:The primary objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic potential of galectin-3 (Gal-3), fractalkine (FKN), interleukin (IL)-6, microRNA(miR)-21, and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). METHOD:A total of 78 ICM patients (Case group) and 80 healthy volunteers (Control group) admitted to our hospital for treatment or physical examination from Aug. 2018 to Feb. 2020 were included in the current study. The serum concentration of Gal-3, FKN, IL-6, miR-21, and plasma expression of cTnI of both groups were determined. The severity of ICM was classified using New York Heart Association (NYHA) scale. RESULTS:When compared with the control group, the case group had a significantly high blood concentration of Gal-3, FKN, IL-6, miR-21, and cTnI (P < 0.001). NYHA class II patients had lower blood levels of Gal-3, FKN, IL-6, miR-21, and cTnI than that in patients of NYHA class III and IV without statistical significance (P > 0.05). However, statistical significance could be achieved when comparing the above-analyzed markers in patients classified between class III and IV. Correlation analysis also revealed that serum levels of Gal-3, FKN, IL-6, miR-21, and cTnI were positively correlated with NYHA classification (R = 0.564, 0.621, 0.792, 0.981, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:Our study revealed that up-regulated serum Gal-3, FKN, IL-6, miR-21, and cTnI levels were closely related to the progression of ICM. This association implies that these biomarkers have diagnostic potential, offering a promising avenue for early detection and monitoring of ICM progression.
Background and Aim: Current treatments for refractory benign esophageal strictures (BESs) often take several years and have poor effects. The authors propose a novel method of self-help inflatable balloon (SHIB) and evaluate its efficacy and safety. Methods: A prospective, multicenter study was conducted from January 2019 to March 2022. All enrolled patients were diagnosed with refractory BESs and received SHIB. The primary endpoint was the clinical success rate at 12 months after removing SHIB. The secondary endpoints were the number of days of placing SHIB, and changes from baseline in BMI and health-related quality of life at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: The clinical success rate was 51.2% (21/41) with the median days of placing SHIB being 104.0 days (range: 62.0-134.5 days), which was higher in the endoscopic group compared to the caustic and surgery groups (63.3 vs. 28.6% vs. 0, P=0.025). All patients (100%) showed significant improvement in dysphagia scores during placing SHIB. Although 20 patients (48.8%) experienced recurrent stricture, the median stricture length was decreased (P<0.001) and the median intervention-free interval was prolonged (P<0.001). In all patients, the mean BMI at and health-related quality of life at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were significantly increased compared with baseline (P<0.05). On multivariate analysis, stricture etiology and wearing time were independent predictors of recurrent stricture. Conclusions: The SHIB has high efficacy and safety in treating refractory BESs of different origins, especially for endoscopic resection. Stricture etiology and wearing time were independent predictors of recurrent stricture.

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been shown to be an effective treatment for achalasia and with few adverse events. Only a few cases of delayed bleeding have been described. This current case report describes a patient with delayed bleeding in the submucosal tunnel on the eighth day after POEM. The patient was a 21-year-old woman with a 4-month history of dysphagia, vomiting and excessive weight loss. Achalasia was diagnosed according to her symptoms, barium oesophagogram, oesophageal manometry and endoscopy examination. POEM was performed by an experienced operator. On the eighth day after POEM, the patient suddenly developed continuous haematemesis presented with vomiting of fresh blood and melena. An emergency exploratory esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed. A large number of blood clots were found at the wound and a long haematoma was found along the lining of the submucosal tunnel. Re-entry into the submucosal tunnel and exposure of the haemorrhagic site was attempted but failed because of severe submucosal tissue adhesion. An emergency angiography was undertaken and haemostasis was achieved with superselective arterial microcoil embolization.
