BACKGROUNDFolic acid supplementation has been shown to provide benefits in preventing neural tube defects and other birth defects, as well as reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes.OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to examine the impact of various folic acid supplementation methods on pregnancy.METHODSTaqMan-MGB technology was used to detect polymorphisms in the folate metabolism-related genes, MTHFR C677T and A1298C. Blood-related biochemical indicators, including HCY levels and history of adverse pregnancy, were examined in relation to different exposure factors (MTHFR gene polymorphism, HCY levels, and adverse pregnancy history) and their impact on pregnancy outcomes. Various forms of folic acid intervention were implemented in a population with an adverse pregnancy history and high HCY levels to analyze the effects of reducing HCY levels and improving pregnancy outcomes.RESULTSExposure factors, such as adverse pregnancy history, HCY, and medium-to-high risk of gene metabolism, were closely associated with pregnancy outcomes. Interestingly, methylfolate efficiently reduced the serum HCY levels. More importantly, the methylfolate group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of adverse pregnancies than the synthetic folic acid group.CONCLUSIONIn this study, the risk factors, including adverse pregnancy history, HCY, and medium-to-high risk of gene metabolism, were confirmed to lead to the poorer pregnancy outcomes in our cohort. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate may be an effective approach for decreasing the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
背景补充叶酸已被证明对预防神经管畸形和其他出生缺陷以及减少不良妊娠结局有益处。血液相关生化指标(包括 HCY 水平和不良妊娠史)与不同暴露因素(MTHFR 基因多态性、HCY 水平和不良妊娠史)的关系及其对妊娠结局的影响进行了研究。结果不良妊娠史、HCY 和中高风险基因代谢等暴露因素与妊娠结局密切相关。有趣的是,甲叶酸能有效降低血清中的 HCY 水平。更重要的是,与合成叶酸组相比,甲叶酸组的不良妊娠发生率明显较低。5-甲基四氢叶酸可能是降低不良妊娠结局发生率的有效方法。

BACKGROUNDThe relationship between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains debated. The critical point may be the lack of consensus on MHO's definition and diagnostic criteria.OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the association of MHO status with arteriosclerosis-CVD (ASCVD) risk in Chinese under new diagnostic criteria.METHODSParticipants aged 35-79 in the 2009 China Health and Nutrition Survey cohort were included. The 10-year ASCVD risk was predicted by the prediction for ASCVD risk in China, and participants with a predicted risk of ⩾ 10% were classified into the high-risk group. The Bayesian network (BN) models were constructed to characterize the multivariable probabilistic connections between metabolically obesity phenotypes and ASCVD risk.RESULTSThe 10-year ASCVD risk score and the proportion of individuals at ASCVD high risk were significantly different between metabolically obesity phenotypes (P< 0.001). BN reasoning results showed that MHO individuals were not significantly associated with a 10-year ASCVD risk. Among metabolically unhealthy individuals, the conditional probability of high ASCVD risk increased with the Body Mass Index (BMI), with the conditional probability of high ASCVD risk was 24.63% (95% CI: 22.81-26.55%), 32.97% (95% CI: 30.75-35.27%) and 40.2% (95% CI: 36.64-43.86%) for metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), metabolically healthy overweight weight (MHOW), and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) group, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that MHO individuals were at increased risk of CVD compared with metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) individuals only in females.CONCLUSIONThese results showed that there was no significant increase in ASCVD risk of MHO phenotype based on the new diagnostic criteria, suggesting that MHO is in a relatively healthy state.
背景代谢性健康肥胖(MHO)与心血管疾病(CVD)风险之间的关系仍存在争议。本研究旨在根据新的诊断标准调查中国人的 MHO 状态与动脉硬化-心血管疾病(ASCVD)风险的关系。根据中国 ASCVD 风险预测法预测 10 年 ASCVD 风险,将预测风险⩾10% 的参与者归入高风险组。结果不同代谢肥胖表型之间的10年ASCVD风险评分和ASCVD高危人群比例存在显著差异(P< 0.001)。BN推理结果显示,MHO个体与10年ASCVD风险无明显关联。在代谢不健康个体中,ASCVD 高风险的条件概率随身体质量指数(BMI)的增加而增加,ASCVD 高风险的条件概率分别为 24.63% (95% CI:22.81-26.55%)、32.代谢不健康正常体重(MUNW)组、代谢健康超重体重(MHOW)组和代谢不健康肥胖(MUO)组的条件概率分别为 24.63% (95% CI: 22.81-26.55%)、32.97% (95% CI: 30.75-35.27%) 和 40.2% (95% CI: 36.64-43.86%)。亚组分析表明,与代谢健康的正常体重(MHNW)人群相比,MHO人群的心血管疾病风险仅在女性中有所增加。

BACKGROUNDDental pulpitis significantly impacts oral function and quality of life. Treatments like direct pulp capping aim to preserve pulp vitality.OBJECTIVEThis study aims to investigate the application value of Nd:YAG laser irradiation in preserving pulp vitality in children with caries-induced pulpitis.METHODSThis study, conducted from June 2019 to June 2023, included 89 children undergoing pulp vitality preservation treatment for caries-induced pulpitis. The children were divided into two groups using sealed envelopes: 44 in the control group received pulp capping treatment, while the study group received Nd:YAG laser-assisted pulp capping treatment. The efficacy, oral indicators, oral function, changes in root apex diameter and root length, changes in gingival crevicular fluid inflammatory factors, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups before and 3 months after treatment.RESULTSThe total effective rates were 97.78% in the study group and 95.45% in the control group, with no significant difference between the groups (p> 0.05). Before treatment, there were no differences in gingival index, plaque index, and probing bleeding index between the groups (p> 0.05). After treatment, both groups showed decreased periodontal indexes compared to before treatment, with the study group showing lower values than the control group (p< 0.05). Chewing and biting function scores were similar between the groups before and after treatment (p> 0.05), but both groups showed decreased scores after treatment (p< 0.05). The study group had a higher percentage decrease in root apex diameter and a greater increase in root length compared to the control group (p< 0.05). During treatment, one case of tooth discoloration occurred in the study group (2.27%), while the control group had two cases of tooth discoloration and one case of secondary caries, resulting in a complication rate of 6.67%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the groups (p> 0.05).CONCLUSIONNd:YAG laser irradiation effectively preserves pulp vitality in children with caries-induced pulpitis, improving periodontal health, reducing root apex diameter, and increasing root length with high safety.

BACKGROUNDStress urinary incontinence (SUI), a prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly women in China, is characterized by the involuntary leakage of urine during instances of increased abdominal pressure [1]. Although SUI is not life-threatening, it substantially impacts patients' physical and psychological well-being, impairs their social interactions, and diminishes their overall quality of life.OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape-ischiopubic ramus (TVT-IR) and transobturator tension-free vaginal tape (TVT-O) in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).METHODSA retrospective analysis of clinical data from 83 female SUI patients was conducted, dividing them into a TVT-IR group (n= 41) and a TVT-O group (n= 42) based on the surgical procedures employed. Perioperative indices, surgical efficacy, complications, symptom improvement pre- and post-operation (3 months), urodynamic measurements, and indices related to pelvic floor function and quality of life were compared between the two groups.RESULTSThe TVT-IR group had significantly shorter operative time than the TVT-O group (P< 0.05). Three months after surgery, both groups had significantly lower frequency of incontinence, incontinence score, and number of nocturnal urination, significantly higher Pdet, ALPP, Qmax, and MUCP, significantly higher class I and class II fiber muscle strength and muscle potential, and significantly higher I-QOL scores (P< 0.05). The aforementioned indicators were superior in the TVT-IR group compared to the TVT-O group three months after surgery (P< 0.05).CONCLUSIONBoth TVT-IR and TVT-O are effective in treating SUI, with comparable complication rates.

BACKGROUNDAlthough intracoronary electrocardiography (IC-ECG) offers direct electrophysiological insights into myocardial ischemia caused by insufficient coronary blood supply, compared to common diagnostic methods like electrocardiography (ECG), it lacks widespread adoption and robust clinical research.OBJECTIVETo analyze the value and accuracy of intracoronary electrocardiogram in myocardial ischemia diagnosis in coronary heart disease patients.METHODSThree hundred patients treated at our hospital were included in the study. Patients were categorized into non-ischemic group A (Fraction Flow Reserve [FFR] > 0.8) and ischemic group B (FFR < 0.75) based on FFR examination results. Both groups underwent IC-ECG examination. The ischemic group received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment followed by another FFR examination, dividing them into non-ischemic subgroup B1 (FFR > 0.8) and ischemic subgroup B2 (FFR < 0.75). Both subgroups underwent IC-ECG examination. Receiver operating curves were constructed using FFR to assess the clinical utility of different IC-ECG parameters.RESULTSGroup A patients showed a significant decrease in ST-segment shift at J-point, ST-segment integral, T-peak, T-wave integral, and T-peak to end-time, while the Corrected Q-T interval (QTc-time) was significantly higher in the B group (p< 0.05). The parameters, including ST-segment shift at J-point, ST-segment integral, T-wave integral, T-peak, T-peak to end-time, and QTc-time, were found to have clinical significance in predicting the occurrence of myocardial ischemia (p< 0.05).CONCLUSIONIntracoronary electrocardiogram QT interval dispersion and Q-T peak (QTp) interval dispersion have a high diagnostic accuracy for myocardial ischemia in coronary heart disease.
背景虽然与心电图(ECG)等常见诊断方法相比,冠状动脉内心电图(IC-ECG)可直接从电生理角度了解冠状动脉供血不足导致的心肌缺血,但它缺乏广泛的应用和有力的临床研究。根据 FFR 检查结果,将患者分为非缺血 A 组(FFR > 0.8)和缺血 B 组(FFR < 0.75)。两组均接受 IC-ECG 检查。缺血组接受经皮冠状动脉介入(PCI)治疗,然后再次进行 FFR 检查,将其分为非缺血亚组 B1(FFR > 0.8)和缺血亚组 B2(FFR < 0.75)。两个亚组均接受了 IC-ECG 检查。结果 A组患者的J点ST段移位、ST段积分、T峰、T波积分和T峰至终点时间显著下降,而B组患者的校正Q-T间期(QTc-time)显著升高(P< 0.05)。结论冠状动脉心电图 QT 间期弥散和 Q-T 峰(QTp)间期弥散对冠心病心肌缺血有较高的诊断准确性。

BACKGROUNDMachine learning offers diverse options for effectively managing blood glucose levels in diabetes patients. Selecting the right ML algorithm is critical given the array of available choices. Integrating data from IoT devices presents promising opportunities to enhance real-time blood glucose management models.OBJECTIVEThis meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of machine learning models utilizing IoT device data for predicting blood glucose levels.METHODSWe systematically searched electronic databases for studies published between 2019 and 2023. We excluded studies lacking ML model derivation or performance metrics. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool assessed study quality. Our primary outcomes compared ML models for BG level prediction across different prediction horizons (PHs).RESULTSWe analyzed ten eligible studies across prediction horizons of 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. ML models exhibited mean absolute RMSE values of 15.02 (SD 1.45), 21.488 (SD 2.92), 30.094 (SD 3.245), and 35.89 (SD 6.4) mg/dL, respectively.

Background: The first-line treatment for cervical dystonia (CD) consists of repeated intramuscular injections of botulinum toxin (BoNT). However, the efficacy in some patients may be unsatisfactory and they may discontinue treatment.

Objective: To examine the factors associated with the maximum rate of remission in patients with CD after initial botulinum neurotoxin type A (or botulinum toxin type A abbreviated as BTX-A or BoNT-A) treatment.

Methods: Patients with CD who received BoNT-A injections were evaluated using the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) and the Tsui scale, with follow-up endpoints lasting until the start of the second injection. Patients who did not receive a second injection of BoNT-A were followed up for at least 5 months. The maximum remission rates were determined using the lowest Tsui and TWSTRS total scores during the follow-up period. We obtained basic information about these patients such as age, gender, duration of disease, presence of additional disease, types of torticollis, presence of anxiety, depression, tremors, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) findings, injected dose, and so on from their medical records.

Results: A total of 70 patients with CD participated in this study, with males comprising 35.7% (25 individuals) with an average age of 45 ± 14 years old. The duration of disease was an independent risk factor for determining whether a complete remission has been attained using the Tsui scale (odds ratio [OR] = 0.978, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.959-0.997, P= 0.026). The optimal cut-off point for predicting patients who were unable to achieve complete remission based on duration of disease was 7.5 months (AUG = 0.711). Patients with CD with additional disease had greater difficulty achieving complete remission than those with CD alone based on TWSTRS assessments (P= 0.049). During the study, approximately 17% of all participants reported experiencing adverse reactions that lasted between 1 to 3 weeks before disappearing.

Conclusion: BoNT is an effective and safe method for treating CD. The maximum remission rates of patients after their first injections are influenced by the duration of their disease. Thus, treatment using BoNT injections must be administered as soon as possible.

背景:颈肌张力障碍(CD)的一线治疗包括反复肌肉注射肉毒杆菌毒素(BoNT)。然而,部分患者的疗效可能并不令人满意,他们可能会中断治疗:目的:研究 CD 患者在首次接受 A 型肉毒杆菌神经毒素(或 A 型肉毒杆菌毒素,简称 BTX-A 或 BoNT-A)治疗后最大缓解率的相关因素:使用多伦多西方痉挛性皮肌痉挛评分量表(TWSTRS)和徐氏评分量表对接受BoNT-A注射的CD患者进行评估,随访终点持续到第二次注射开始。对未接受第二次注射 BoNT-A 的患者进行了至少 5 个月的随访。最大缓解率是根据随访期间最低的 Tsui 和 TWSTRS 总分确定的。我们从这些患者的病历中获得了他们的基本信息,如年龄、性别、病程、是否患有其他疾病、肢体扭转类型、是否患有焦虑症、抑郁症、震颤、单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)结果、注射剂量等:共有 70 名 CD 患者参与了此次研究,其中男性占 35.7%(25 人),平均年龄为 45±14 岁。根据徐氏评分法,病程是决定是否达到完全缓解的独立风险因素(几率比[OR] = 0.978,95% 置信区间[CI]:0.959-0.997):0.959-0.997, P= 0.026).根据病程预测无法达到完全缓解的患者的最佳临界点为 7.5 个月(AUG = 0.711)。根据 TWSTRS 评估结果,伴有其他疾病的 CD 患者比单纯 CD 患者更难获得完全缓解(P= 0.049)。在研究过程中,约有 17% 的参与者报告出现了不良反应,这些不良反应持续了 1 到 3 周才消失:结论:BoNT 是治疗 CD 的一种有效而安全的方法。患者首次注射后的最大缓解率受病程长短的影响。因此,必须尽快进行 BoNT 注射治疗。
