ABSTRACT
Objective:To apply the best evidence for the prevention of radial artery occlusion after transradial coronary angiography or intervention to clinical practice and evaluate its effect.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study. Based on the evidence continuous quality improvement model, evidence-based practice method was used to obtain the best evidence, formulated review indicators, analyzed the obstacles in the practice process and took action strategies. The 88 patients who underwent transradial coronary angiography or intervention in the Cardiology Department of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (Qingdao) from June 1 to 30, 2020 were selected as the baseline review group by convenience sampling. The 94 patients who underwent this treatment from September 1 to 30, 2020 were selected as the evidence application group. The baseline review group used the original perioperative management plan, and the evidence application group used the perioperative management plan based on the best evidence. The implementation rate of each review indicator, the incidence of radial artery occlusion, the degree of compression pain, and the comfort level of patients were compared between the two groups.Results:The implementation rates of review indicators 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 in the evidence application group were 100.0% (94/94), 100.0% (94/94), 11.7(11/94), 88.3% (83/94), 100.0% (94/94), 100.0%(94/94), 85.1%(80/94), respectively, which were higher than those in the baseline review group(all 0), except for the review indicator 4, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 9.00-178.02, all P<0.05). The incidence of radial artery occlusion and the incidence of pain Numerical Rating Scale>3 points in the evidence application group were 2.1% (2/94) and 3.2% (3/94), respectively, which were lower than 14.8% (13/88) and 23.9% (21/88) in the baseline review group; the comfort level of patients in the evidence application group was 96.8% (91/94), which was higher than 63.6% (56/88) in the baseline review group. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 8.01, 15.21, 30.10, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The best evidence for the prevention of radial artery occlusion after transradial coronary angiography or intervention can be applied to clinical practice, which can standardize the behavior of medical staff, reduce the incidence of postoperative radial artery occlusion, reduce the degree of compression pain, and improve the comfort of patients.
ABSTRACT
Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)is characterized by strong aggressiveness,high metastatic potential,easy recurrence and poor prognosis.Due to lack of expression for estrogen receptor(ER),progesterone receptor(PR)and human epidermal growth factor(HER2)in TNBC patients,there is a lack of specific therapeutic targets and effective treatment plans for TNBC.At present,immunotherapy has been widely used in solid tumors.Immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)have shown some preliminary clinical effects in the treatment of TNBC,but there were still some patients who do not respond to ICIs therapy or develop resistance,and multiple clinical studies cannot obtain consistent results on the efficacy of ICIs.Therefore,,we reviewed the potential biological factors that influence the efficacy of ICIs in TNBC,aiming to explore the mechanisms affecting the efficacy of ICIs and analyze its potential clinical value.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the clinical and radiological features of patients with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery.Methods:Four patients with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (including 3 patients with congenital absence of the internal carotid artery), admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2021, were chosen in our study. The clinical data and imaging features of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The age of these patients ranged from 31 to 73 years, and two patients were female. Clinically,2 patients presented with dizziness, 1 patient presented with limb weakness, and 1 patient was asymptomatic. In 3 patients with congenital absence of the internal carotid artery, DSA results showed that the internal carotid artery was not developed, and CT bone window showed that the internal carotid artery canal was absent; 1 patient with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery showed thin imaging in DSA results. One patient was combined with anterior communicating artery aneurysm and left internal carotid artery aneurysm. One patient was with vertebral arterial dolichoectasia. The collateral circulation compensation: type A was noted in 3 patients and type C was noted in 1 patient.Conclusion:The patients with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery are usually asymptomatic, and patients with congenital absence of the internal carotid artery can have ischemic symptom; these patients can be complicated with vascular abnormalities such as aneurysm and vascular thickening.

Meanwhile, 100 healthy Han women who came to the hospital for physical examination during this period were selected as the control group.ZAG, fasting blood glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured, and the differences among the three groups were compared.After weight control, group A reviewed the above indicators and compared the differences of these indicators before and after weight control. Results:In group A, the FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, HDL, LDL and ZAG were (5.92±0.51)mmol/L, (19.94±3.15)mIU/L, (5.29±1.19), (5.59±0.49)mmol/L, (2.03±0.35)mmol/L, (0.72±0.21)mmol/L, (3.05±0.43)mmol/L, (35.80±8.12)ng/mL, respectively, which in group B were (5.38±0.62)mmol/L, (15.67±4.59)mIU/L, (3.84±1.45), (4.61±0.65)mmol/L, (1.49±0.35)mmol/L, (1.24±0.40)mmol/L, (2.61±0.40)mmol/L, (45.22±10.27)ng/mL, respectively, which in the control group were (4.77±0.53)mmol/L, (11.66±3.23)mIU/L, (2.52±0.95), (4.59±0.53)mmol/L, (1.39±0.26)mmol/L, (1.40±0.31)mmol/L, (2.50±0.35)mmol/L, (59.15±8.90)ng/mL, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant between group A and group B, between group A and control group, and between group B and control group( F=36.81, 41.04, 44.05, 33.65, 38.61, 39.25, 18.45, 56.88, all P<0.01). After weight control, the FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, HDL, LDL and ZAG in group A were (5.27±0.54)mmol/L, (15.67±3.16)mIU/L, (3.72±1.06), (4.98±0.45)mmol/L, (1.62±0.30)mmol/L, (1.03±0.25)mmol/L, (2.82±0.43)mmol/L, (43.59±8.20)ng/mL, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant in group A before and after weight control ( t=15.26, 15.67, 17.70, 11.04, 17.61, -9.61, 22.83, -13.79, all P<0.01). The serum ZAG was positively correlated with HDL ( r=0.628, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with BMI ( r=-0.685, P<0.01), HOMA-IR ( r=-0.729, P<0.01), and TC ( r=-0.579, P<0.01). Conclusion:ZAG value is reducedin PCOS patients, with lower level in obesity group, and is positively correlated with HDL, negatively correlated with BMI, HOMA-IR, TC.The metabolism in patients with PCOS can be reflected by ZAG, which has a certain value in diagnosis and treatment of PCOS patients with metabolic disorder, and provides theory basis for further study of the metabolic disorder of PCOS.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating mild amnestic cognitive impairment (aMCI).Methods:Twenty-five patients with aMCI were randomly divided into an observation group of 13 and a control group of 12. The observation group was given 10-Hz rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at 80% of the motor threshold-400 pulses a day, 5 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks. The control group received sham stimulation on the same schedule. Before and after the experiment, both groups were evaluated using the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and received fMRI scans.Results:After the intervention, the average MoCA score of the observation group had improved significantly more compared with that of the control group and compared with before the intervention. According to the fMRI results, regional homogeneity in the right middle frontal gyrus of the observation group had increased significantly, while that of the control group both there and in the left precuneus had decreased significantly.Conclusions:High-frequency rTMS can effectively improve the cognitive function of patients with aMCI and synchronize neuron activity in cognition-related brain regions.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the current situation and facing problems of hierarchical diagnosis and treat-ment in China,and provide basis for nation health-related decisions. METHODS:Using"hierarchical diagnosis and treatment"as keyword,relevant literatures in CNKI,VIP database,and Wanfang database from building to Jun. 2016 were retrieved. Study for current situation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment in China was comprehensively collected,and systematical review was con-ducted from aspects of outcome evaluation indicators and facing problems. RESULTS:Totally 23 studies were included,in which, 18 were investigative studies,3 were retrospective/investigative studies,1 was retrospective study,and 1 was randomized con-trolled study. In the outcome evaluation indicators,9 took awareness of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment as review indicators, showing that the public had poor awareness;7 took the current situation as review indicator,showing that the overall current situa-tion was unsatisfactory;3 took human resources as review indicator,showing that human resources in primary medical institutions were not ideal;3 took satisfactory degree as review indicator,showing that the public were generally satisfied with hierarchical di-agnosis;2 took the implementation model as review indicator,showing that the current model had been able to promote hierarchi-cal diagnosis and treatment;2 took medical cost as review indicator,showing that individuals paid higher. In the facing problems, 19 studies suggested the imperfect systems for hierarchical diagnosis and treatment,16 suggested that primary medical treatment was limited in capability,7 suggested that patients still preferred big hospitals to primary medical institutions,and 7 suggested that it lacked publicity. CONCLUSIONS:The current situation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment is certainly not ideal but still fac-ing many problems in China. Improving the levels in primary institutions,hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system and patients' willingness to primary medical institutions,and increasing its publicity can deeply promote the implementation of hierarchical diag-nosis and treatment and provide objective and valuable reference for health decision-making.

ABSTRACT
Human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is a well-validated drug target and its inhibitors are potential drugs for treating leukotriene-related disorders. Our previous work on structural optimization of the hit compound 2 from our in-house collection identified two lead compounds, 3a and 3b, exhibiting a potent inhibitory profile against 5-LOX with IC50 values less than 1 µmol/L in cell-based assays. Here, we further optimized these compounds to prepare a class of novel pyrazole derivatives by opening the fused-ring system. Several new compounds exhibited more potent inhibitory activity than the lead compounds against 5-LOX. In particular, compound 4e not only suppressed lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in brain inflammatory cells and protected neurons from oxidative toxicity, but also significantly decreased infarct damage in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia. Molecular docking analysis further confirmed the consistency of our theoretical results and experimental data. In conclusion, the excellent in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activities of these compounds against 5-LOX suggested that these novel chemical structures have a promising therapeutic potential to treat leukotriene-related disorders.

ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effect of diversification rehabilitation team mode on function in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Sixty-six patients with cerebral infarction were divided into diversification rehabilitation team mode group (diversification group) and routine rehabilitation mode (routine group) according to the rehabililation method with 33 cases each. All patients of 2 groups were treated for 2 weeks. Evaluations were made before and after treatment. The simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function rating scale was used to evaluate motor function, modified Barthel index was used to evaluate activities of daily living, and MOS 36-item short form health survey was used to evaluate quality of life;and 0-100 digital simulation assessment was used to evaluate patient satisfaction after treatment. Results The simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function rating scale score, modified Barthel index score, MOS 36-item short form health survey score and patient satisfaction rate after treatment in diversification group were significantly better than those in routine group: (76 ± 4) scores vs. (63 ± 3) scores, (65 ± 3) scores vs. (52 ± 4 ) scores, (57 ± 7) scores vs. (44 ± 6) scores, (92 ± 5) scores vs. (77 ± 3) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Both kinds of rehabilitation model can promote functional recovery in patients with cerebral infarction, but diversification rehabilitation team model is better than conventional model.
