RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Lipid management based on cardiovascular risk level is the cornerstone of primary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD), while the accuracy and adherence of traditional cardiovascular risk stratification have been questioned. Prevention strategies based on imaging screening for atherosclerotic plaques are found to be more objective and adherent in recent studies. This trial aims to investigate the role of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in guiding the primary prevention of CAD in a randomized controlled design. METHODS: Approximately 3400 middle-aged asymptomatic community participants will be recruited and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to a traditional cardiovascular risk score-guided (usual care group) or CCTA-guided (CCTA group) strategy. Participants with cardiovascular disease, prior lipid-lowering therapy, CCTA contraindication, or serious diseases that affect life span will be excluded. The intervention strategy includes blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipid management and lifestyle modifications. Blood pressure and glucose targets and lifestyle modification recommendations keep the same in both strategies, while lipid management is personalized based on traditional risk level or CCTA results, respectively. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants taking lipid-lowering medication regularly at both 6 and 12 months. The secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants achieving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering targets at 12 months, mean changes in lipid levels from baseline to 12 months, barriers to adherence, adverse reactions related to CCTA examination, and cardiovascular events. DISCUSSION: The study is the first randomized clinical trial to examine the effectiveness of a CCTA-guided versus a traditional risk score-guided primary prevention strategy in an asymptomatic community-based population. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05725096. Registered on 2 February 2023.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Despite the explicit biomechanical advantages associated with FNS, it is currently inconclusive, based on the existing literature, whether Femoral Neck System (FNS) outperforms Cannulated cancellous screws (CSS) in all aspects. Due to variances in bone morphology and bone density between the elderly and young cohorts, additional research is warranted to ascertain whether the benefits of FNS remain applicable to elderly osteoporosis patients. This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical properties of FNS in osteoporotic femoral neck fractures and propose optimization strategies including additional anti-rotation screw. METHODS: The Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture models were reconstructed using finite element numerical techniques. The CSS, FNS, and modified FNS (M-FNS) models were created based on features and parameterization. The various internal fixations were individually assembled with the assigned normal and osteoporotic models. In the static analysis mode, uniform stress loads were imposed on all models. The deformation and stress variations of the femur and internal fixation models were recorded. Simultaneously, descriptions of shear stress and strain energy were also incorporated into the figures. RESULTS: Following bone mass reduction, deformations in CSS, FNS, and M-FNS increased by 47%, 52%, and 40%, respectively. The equivalent stress increments for CSS, FNS, and M-FNS were 3%, 43%, 17%, respectively. Meanwhile, variations in strain energy and shear stress were observed. The strain energy increments for CSS, FNS, and M-FNS were 4%, 76%, and 5%, respectively. The shear stress increments for CSS, FNS, and M-FNS were 4%, 65% and 44%, respectively. Within the osteoporotic model, M-FNS demonstrated the lowest total displacement, shear stress, and strain energy. CONCLUSION: Modified FNS showed better stability in the osteoporotic model (OM). Using FNS alone may not exhibit immediate shear resistance advantages in OM. Concurrently, the addition of one anti-rotation screw can be regarded as a potential optimization choice, ensuring a harmonious alignment with the structural characteristics of FNS.

RESUMEN

By using a scaffold hopping/ring equivalent and intermediate derivatization strategies, a series of compounds of 2,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazoline with substituent changes at the 5-phenyl position were prepared, and their acaricidal activity was studied. However, the synthesized 2,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazolines showed lower activity against mite eggs and larvae compared to the 2,4-diphenyl-1,3-oxazolines with the same substituents. We speculate that there is a significant difference in the spatial extension direction of the substituents between the two skeletons of compounds, resulting in differences in their ability to bind to the potential target chitin synthase 1. This work is helpful in inferring the internal structure of chitin synthase binding pockets.

RESUMEN

Objective: To translate the Tendency to Stigmatize Epidemics Diseases Scale (TSEDS) into Chinese and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation using the Brislin translation model, and pre-testing to form a Chinese version of TSEDS. A total of 434 adults participated in the study and the TSEDS were measured using the critical ratio method, Pearson correlation analysis, retest reliability, content validity, structural validity, and concurrent validity. Results: The Chinese version of the TSEDS scale contains 27 items in 5 dimensions, including structural stigma, perceived stigma, organizational stigma, internalized stigma, and social stigma. The average content validity index of the scale was 0.975. The goodness of fit index (χ2/df= 1.981, RMSEA = 0.067, CFI= 0.930, IFI = 0.931, TLI = 0.922) indicated a good model fit. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.962 and the dimensionality ranged from 0.882 to 0.928. The retest reliability was 0.912. Conclusion: The Chinese version of TSEDS has good reliability and validity, which can be used to assess the epidemiological stigma tendency of Chinese adults.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Premenstrual Syndrome is also known as premenstrual tension syndrome because of the pronounced premenstrual mental and emotional anomalies. This study focuses on the association between occupational stress, sleep quality and premenstrual syndrome in clinical nurses and the mediating role of sleep quality. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to measure occupational stress, sleep quality and premenstrual syndrome in 415 clinical nurses using the Chinese Nurses Stressor Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale, and the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale. SPSS was used to explore the relationship between the variables, and AMOS was used to explore the mediating role between the variables. RESULTS: Nurses' occupational stress positively predicted PMS (ß = 0.176, p < 0.001), and the regression coefficients for sleep quality were significantly different for both paths of nurses' occupational stress (ß = 0.665, p < 0.001) and PMS (ß = 0.261, p < 0.001). The mediation effect accounts for 49.57% of the total effect. CONCLUSION: This study revealed a notably high incidence of PMS among clinical nurses in China, with occupational stress and sleep quality significantly correlated with PMS. Sleep quality played an intermediary role between occupational stress and PMS. Consequently, managers should prioritize addressing occupational stress, mitigating PMS symptoms, enhancing nurses' health and nursing quality, and preventing nursing risks through mental health support and improving sleep quality.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Nutrition therapy is a vital part of the management of critically ill patients. Efforts have been made to optimize nutrition therapy in the ICU setting, and it is argued that protein might be the most important substrate to deliver during critical illness. However, the impact of protein delivery on patient-centered outcomes, including short-term and long-term outcomes, is controversial. Moreover, previous studies showed that compliance with the guidelines is poor in practice, and the amounts of protein intake vary significantly among different hospitals. The objective of this study is to describe the current practice of protein delivery for critically ill patients and to investigate the association between different protein delivery amounts and approaches during ICU admission and multiple patient-centered outcomes (short-term and long-term). METHODS: This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted in 70 hospitals, aiming to recruit more than 1800 newly admitted critically ill patients who are expected to stay in ICU for at least 48 h. Data, including the baseline characteristics, illness severity scores, requirements of organ support therapy, and daily nutritional therapy, will be recorded until day 28 after enrollment unless discharge from the ICU or death occurs first. The key long-term clinical outcomes, like readmission post the index discharge and health-related quality of life, will be collected via telephone contact on Day 90 and Day 180 after recruitment. Quality of life will be assessed by the EuroQol five dimensions five-level questionnaire (EQ5D5L) visual analogue scale score. Apart from descriptive data, multivariate analyses adjusted for potential confounders will be applied to assess the association between protein intake during ICU stay and short-term and long-term clinical outcomes. ETHICS AND TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was reviewed and approved by the ethics committee of Jinling Hospital (2021NZKY-027-01) and the participating sites. The study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2200067016) before enrollment.

RESUMEN

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) poses challenges for targeted delivery and retention of therapeutic proteins due to excess extracellular matrix (ECM). Here we present a new approach to treat MASH, termed "Fibrosis overexpression and retention (FORT)". In this strategy, we design (1) retinoid-derivative lipid nanoparticle (LNP) to enable enhanced mRNA overexpression in fibrotic regions, and (2) mRNA modifications which facilitate anchoring of therapeutic proteins in ECM. LNPs containing carboxyl-retinoids, rather than alcohol- or ester-retinoids, effectively deliver mRNA with over 10-fold enhancement of protein expression in fibrotic livers. The carboxyl-retinoid rearrangement on the LNP surface improves protein binding and membrane fusion. Therapeutic proteins are then engineered with an endogenous collagen-binding domain. These fusion proteins exhibit increased retention in fibrotic lesions and reduced systemic toxicity. In vivo, fibrosis-targeting LNPs encoding fusion proteins demonstrate superior therapeutic efficacy in three clinically relevant male-animal MASH models. This approach holds promise in fibrotic diseases unsuited for protein injection.

RESUMEN

Four-membered ring structure is important in organic chemistry, and selective cleavage and functionalization of these strained rings are of great interest. However, direct α-functionalization of cyclobutanols is rarely reported because of the high O-H bond dissociation energy and the occurrence of ß-scission of C-C bonds in these alcohols. Recently, transition-metal catalysis has facilitated alkoxy radical generation. Herein, we report a method for electrophotochemical α-functionalization of a silylcyclobutanol via visible-light-induced LMCT reactions of M-alkoxy complexes. Introduction of the silyl group into the cyclobutanol structure favored fast [1,2]-silyl transfer over ring opening, thus allowing the generation of α-functionalized products.

RESUMEN

With advances in organoboron chemistry, boron-centered functional groups have become increasingly attractive. In particular, alkylboron species are highly versatile reagents for organic synthesis, but the direct generation of alkyl radicals from commonly used, bench-stable boron species has not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, we describe a method for activating C-B bonds by nitrogen- or oxygen-radical transfer that is applicable to alkylboronic acids and esters and can be used for both Michael addition reactions and Minisci reactions to generate alkyl or arylated products.

RESUMEN

Herein, we report a direct method for palladium-catalyzed coordination-induced oxidative remote C-H aryl etherification of 8-amidoquinolines with p-benzoquinone monoacetal. The method provides access to C5-aryl etherified quinolines and shows site-selectivity different from that of typical palladium-catalyzed C(sp2)-H activation reactions. The p-benzoquinone monoacetals act both as oxidants and as aryl etherification reagents. By using proper substrates, C5-aminated quinolines and C4-etherifed 1-naphthylamine could also be formed.

RESUMEN

Background: There is controversy over the optimal early protein delivery in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). This study aims to evaluate whether the association between early protein delivery and 28-day mortality was impacted by the presence of AKI in critically ill patients. Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of data from a multicenter cluster-randomised controlled trial enrolling newly admitted critically ill patients (n = 2772). Participants without chronic kidney disease and with complete data concerning baseline renal function were included in this study. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between early protein delivery, reflected by mean protein delivery from day 3-5 after enrollment, 28-day mortality and whether baseline AKI stages interacted with this association. Results: Overall, 2552 patients were included, among whom 567 (22.2%) had AKI at enrollment (111 stage I, 87 stage II, 369 stage III). Mean early protein delivery was 0.60 ± 0.38 g/kg/day among the study patients. In the overall study cohort, each 0.1 g/kg/day increase in protein delivery was associated with a 5% reduction in 28-day mortality[hazard ratio (HR) = 0.95; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92-0.98, p < 0.001]. The association between early protein delivery and 28-day mortality significantly interacted with baseline AKI stages (adjusted interaction p = 0.028). Each 0.1 g/kg/day increase in early protein delivery was associated with a 4% reduction in 28-day mortality (HR = 0.96; 95%CI 0.92-0.99, p = 0.011) among patients without AKI and 9% (HR = 0.91; 95%CI 0.84-0.99, p = 0.021) among those with AKI stage III. However, such associations cannot be observed among patients with AKI stages I and II. Conclusions: Increased early protein delivery (up to close to the guideline recommendation) was associated with reduced 28-day mortality in critically ill patients without AKI and with AKI stage III, but not in those with AKI stage I or II.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Fever is one of the most common clinical symptoms of respiratory diseases in children. Once the child has a fever, parents and caregivers are mainly concerned that the child may have a febrile convulsion. A lack of cognitive ability not only leads to anxiety but also aggravates or delays the time of children's medical treatment and even seriously affects the prognosis because of improper management of fever patients.Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the degree of mastery of knowledge related to febrile convulsions, implement targeted guidance and health education, and ensure that parents and caregivers receive correct and reasonable first aid treatment. The purpose of this study was to translate the Febrile Convulsion Knowledge Scale for Parents/Caregivers into Chinese and to verify its reliability and validity for Chinese parents and caregivers of children. METHODS: The Brislin traditional translation model was used to translate the Febrile Convulsion Knowledge Scale for Parents/Caregivers from English to Chinese, following authorization from the original author of the scale. This involved literal translation, back translation, and cultural adaptation. A convenience sampling method was used to select 402 parents and caregivers of children in the pediatric ward and pediatric infusion clinic of a Grade III hospital in Liaoning Province. The item analysis method was employed to assess item differentiation, while the Delphi method was used to analyze content validity. Scale reliability was evaluated through the calculation of internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to explore and verify the underlying factor structure and scale validity. RESULTS: The Chinese version of the Febrile Convulsion Knowledge Scale for Parents/Caregivers consists of 3 dimensions and 8 items. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.828, with each dimension having coefficients of 0.806, 0.720, and 0.702. The split-half reliability and test-retest reliability were 0.716 and 0.790, respectively. The Chinese version has good reliability. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the Bartlett sphericity test was 394.52 (p < 0.001) and that the KMO value was 0.802 > 0.600, indicating suitability for factor analysis. Principal component analysis and orthogonal rotation of maximum variance were performed on the data, and items with a load greater than 0.40 within a single factor were selected for inclusion. The resulting three-factor structure explained 70.78% of the total variance. All model fitting indices were within the acceptable range, indicating the good structural validity of the Chinese version. The results of both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses support this conclusion. CONCLUSIONS: The Chinese version of the Febrile Convulsion Knowledge Scale for Parents/Caregivers has good reliability and validity. It can be used as a tool for clinical pediatric nurses to evaluate the knowledge of parents and caregivers of children with febrile convulsion and provide the basis for the design and implementation of targeted training plans according to the results obtained from the Chinese scale.

RESUMEN

Dyslipolysis of adipocytes plays a critical role in various diseases. Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is a rate-limiting enzyme in adipocyte autonomous lipolysis. However, the degree of adipocyte lipolysis related to the prognoses in acute pancreatitis (AP) and the role of ATGL-mediated lipolysis in the pathogenesis of AP remain elusive. Herein, the visceral adipose tissue consumption rate in the acute stage was measured in both patients with AP and mouse models. Lipolysis levels and ATGL expression were detected in cerulein-induced AP models. CL316,243, a lipolysis stimulator, and adipose tissue-specific ATGL knockout mice were used to further investigate the role of lipolysis in AP. The ATGL-specific inhibitor, atglistatin, was used in C57Bl/6N and ob/ob AP models. This study indicated that increased visceral adipose tissue consumption rate in the acute phase was independently associated with adverse prognoses in patients with AP, which was validated in mouse AP models. Lipolysis of adipocytes was elevated in AP mice. Stimulation of lipolysis aggravated AP. Genetic blockage of ATGL specifically in adipocytes alleviated the damage to AP. The application of atglistatin effectively protected against AP in both lean and obese mice. These findings demonstrated that ATGL-mediated adipocyte lipolysis exacerbates AP and highlighted the therapeutic potential of ATGL as a drug target for AP.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of balanced multielectrolyte solutions(BMES) versus normal saline(NS) for intravenous fluid on chloride levels and clinical outcomes.in patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis (pSAP). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Isotonic crystalloids are recommended for initial fluid therapy in acute pancreatitis, but whether the use of BMES in preference to NS confers clinical benefits is unknown. METHODS: In this multicenter, stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial, we enrolled patients with pSAP (APACHE II score ≥8 and C-reactive protein >150 mg/L) admitted within 72 hours of the advent of symptoms. The study sites were randomly assigned to staggered start dates for one-way crossover from the NS phase (NS for intravenous fluid) to the BMES phase(Sterofudin for intravenous fluid). The primary endpoint was the serum chloride concentration on trial day3. Secondary endpoints included a composite of clinical and laboratory measures. RESULTS: Overall, 259 patients were enrolled from eleven sites to receive NS(n=147) or BMES(n=112). On trial day3, the mean chloride level was significantly lower in patients who received BMES(101.8 mmol/L(SD4.8) versus 105.8 mmol/L(SD5.9), difference -4.3 mmol/L [95%CI -5.6 to -3.0 mmol/L];P<0.001). For secondary endpoints, patients who received BMES had less systemic inflammatory response syndrome(19/112,17.0% versus 43/147,29.3%, P=0.024) and increased organ failure-free days (3.9 d(SD2.7) versus 3.5days(SD2.7), P<0.001) by trial day7. They also spent more time alive and out of ICU(26.4 d(SD5.2) versus 25.0days(SD6.4), P=0.009) and hospital(19.8 d(SD6.1) versus16.3days(SD7.2), P<0.001) by trial day30. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with pSAP, using BMES in preference to NS resulted in a significantly more physiological serum chloride level, which was associated with multiple clinical benefits(Trial registration number: ChiCTR2100044432).

RESUMEN

In order to speculate the three-dimensional structure of the potential binding pocket of the chitin synthase inhibitor, a series of 2,4-diphenyloxazoline derivatives with different lengths of alkyl chains and heteroatoms were designed and synthesized by a homologous strategy. The bioassay results indicate that both the length of the alkyl chains and the type of substituents can affect the acaricidal activity against mite eggs. Compounds containing chloropropyl, alkoxyalkyl, and para-substituted phenoxyalkyl or phenylthioalkyl groups exhibit good activity, while those containing steric hindrance substituents or carbonyl substituents on the benzene ring exhibit reduced activity. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study showed that there may be a narrow hydrophobic region deep in the pocket, and the steric effect plays a more important role than the electrostatic effect. The current work will provide assistance for future molecular design and target binding research.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: As an innovative internal fixation system, FNS (femoral neck system) is increasingly being utilized by surgeons for the treatment of femoral neck fractures. At present, there have been numerous finite element analysis experiments studying the immediate stability of FNS and CSS in treating femoral neck fractures. However, there is scarce mechanical analysis available regarding the effects post internal fixation removal. This study aimed to investigate the alterations in mechanical parameters of the proximal femur before and after the removal of FNS (femoral neck system), and to assess potential distinctions in indicators following the extraction of CSS (Cannulated Screws). METHODS: A proximal femur model was reconstructed using finite element numerical techniques. The models for CSS and FNS were formulated utilizing characteristics and parametric definitions. The internal fixation was combined with a normal proximal femur model to simulate the healing state after fracture surgery. Within the framework of static analysis, consistent stress burdens were applied across the entirety of the models. The total deformation and equivalent stress of the proximal femur were recorded before and after the removal of internal fixation. RESULTS: Under the standing condition, the total deformation of the model before and after removing CSS was 0.99 mm and 1.10 mm, respectively, indicating an increase of 12%. The total deformation of the model before and after removing FNS was 0.65 mm and 0.76 mm, respectively, indicating an increase of 17%. The equivalent stress for CSS and FNS were 55.21 MPa and 250.67 MPa, respectively. The average equivalent stress on the cross-section of the femoral neck before and after removal of CSS was 7.76 MPa and 6.11 MPa, respectively. The average equivalent stress on the cross-section of the femoral neck before and after removal of FNS was 9.89 MPa and 8.79 MPa, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The retention of internal fixation may contribute to improved stability of the proximal femur. However, there still existed risks of stress concentration in internal fixation and stress shielding in the proximal femur. Compared to CSS, the removal of FNS results in larger bone tunnels and insufficient model stability. Further clinical interventions are recommended to address this issue.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Plasmapheresis is widely used for severe hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) to remove excessive triglycerides from plasma. This study aimed to evaluate whether plasmapheresis could improve the duration of organ failure in HTG-AP patients. METHODS: We analyzed a cohort of patients from a multicenter, prospective, long-running registry (the PERFORM) collecting HTG-AP patients admitted to the study sites within 72 h from the onset of symptoms. This study was based on data collected from November 2020 to March 2023. Patients who had organ failure at enrollment were involved in the analyses. The primary outcome was time to organ failure resolution within 14 days. Multivariable Cox regression model was used to evaluate the association between plasmapheresis and time to organ failure resolution. Directed acyclic graph (DAG) was used to identify potential confounders. RESULTS: A total of 122 HTG-AP patients were included (median [IQR] sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at enrollment, 3.00 [2.00-4.00]). Among the study patients, 46 underwent plasmapheresis, and 76 received medical treatment. The DAG revealed that baseline serum triglyceride, APACHE II score, respiratory failure, cardiovascular failure, and renal failure were potential confounders. After adjusting for the selected confounders, there was no significant difference in time to organ failure resolution between patients undergoing plasmapheresis and those receiving exclusive medical treatment (HR = 1.07; 95%CI 0.68-1.68; P = 0.777). Moreover, the use of plasmapheresis was associated with higher ICU requirements (97.8% [45/46] vs. 65.8% [50/76]; OR, 19.33; 95%CI 2.20 to 169.81; P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: In HTG-AP patients with early organ failure, plasmapheresis was not associated with accelerated organ failure resolution compared to medical treatment but may be associated with more ICU admissions.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a web-based dynamic prediction model for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: The patients (N = 647) undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery were included in this observational study. The candidate risk-factors related to PONV were included through literature search. Lasso regression was utilized to screen candidate risk-factors, and the variables with statistical significance were selected in multivariable logistic model building. The web-based dynamic Nomogram was used for model exhibition. Accuracy and validity of the experimental model (EM) were evaluated by generating receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves. Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the goodness of fit of the model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical practicability of the risk prediction model. RESULTS: Ultimately, a total of five predictors including patient-controlled analgesia (odds ratio [OR], 4.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.98-12.44), motion sickness (OR, 4.80; 95% CI, 2.71-8.65), variation of blood pressure (OR, 4.30; 95% CI, 2.41-7.91), pregnancy vomiting history (OR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.44-3.43), and pain response (OR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.48-1.83) were selected in model building. Assessment of the model indicates the discriminating power of EM was adequate (ROC-areas under the curve, 93.0%; 95% CI, 90.7%-95.3%). EM showed better accuracy and goodness of fit based on the results of the calibration curve. The DCA curve of EM showed favorable clinical benefits. CONCLUSIONS: This dynamic prediction model can determine the PONV risk in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
