Research progress of T helper cell 17/regulatory T cell and retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γt/forkhead box transcription factor P3 imbalance in pregnancy-related diseases
[Journal Article]Yang Chunyan, Feng Xiaoling-China Medicine2024, No.09

Abstract:In the field of immunology,pregnancy is equivalent to a successful semi-allograft phenomenon,and the maternal immune tolerance to the semi-allograft fetus is related to the outcome of pregnancy.Helper T cells 17(Th17)and regulatory T cell(Treg)are newly discovered subsets of CD4+T lymphocytes.The expression levels of related transcription factor retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γt and forkhead box transcription factor P3 are closely related to the balance between Th17/Treg.The Th17/Treg immune imbalance can lead to abnormal maternal attack on the fetus,resulting in maternal-fetal tolerance disorder,and is related to recurrent miscarriage,preeclampsia,gestational diabetes mellitus and other pathological pregnancy.

Research progress of alveolar macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells in acute respiratory distress syndrome
[Journal Article]Shi Yingchang, Zhang Xianming-China Medicine2024, No.10

Abstract:Acute lung injury often leads to the death of critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS),and immune cell infiltration is regarded as an important sign of ARDS.Alveolar macrophages(AMs)are immune cells that play a role in the pathogenesis of ARDS.AMs participate in the development of diseases mainly by interacting with alveolar epithelial cells(AECs).AMs participate in the development of diseases mainly by interacting with alveolar epithelial cells(AECs).In the early stages of ARDS,activated AMs secrete proinflammatory cytokines to remove pathogens that may disrupt the cellular structure of AECs and cause cell death.In the late stage of ARDS,alternatively activated macrophages secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines that inhibit inflammatory responses and promote epithelial regeneration and alveolar structural remodeling.This article mainly reviews the functions and characteristics of AMs and AECs in ARDS,and describes the interaction between AMs and AECs.

[Journal Article]Zhang Wenjing, Gao Yunhe, Wang Lu et al.-China Medicine2024, No.05

Abstract:Objective To explore the correlation between grip strength and prognosis of patients with heart failure.Methods A total of 560 patients with heart failure in Tangshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital,Hebei Province from June 2015 to June 2017 were selected.According to the tertile of grip strength,the patients were divided into three groups,group 1:grip strength<18.9 kg(184 cases),group 2:18.9 kg≤ grip strength<23.5 kg(188 cases),and group 3:grip strength≥23.5 kg(188 cases).The median follow-up time was 3 years.The main end points were all-cause death and heart failure rehospitalization.Kaplan-meier survival analysis was used to determine the relationship between grip strength level and endpoint events.Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the correlation between grip strength and prognosis of patients with heart failure.Subgroup analysis was used to explore the effect of grip strength on the outcomes of rehospitalization for heart failure in patients with different heart failure types.Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing(Lowess)curve was drawn to evaluate the relationship between grip strength and the risk of rehospitalization for heart failure.Results A total of 560 patients with heart failure were followed up for 3 years,and 28 cases(5.0%)died from any cause and 113 cases(20.2%)were rehospitalized for heart failure.There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of all-cause death among the three groups(P=0.074),and the incidence of rehospitalization for heart failure was statistically different[25.0%(46/184),21.3%(40/188),and 14.4%(27/188)](P=0.034).Survival analysis result showed that with the increase of grip strength during follow-up,the incidence of rehospitalization for heart failure was significantly reduced(Log-rank P=0.034).Multivariate Cox regression analysis result showed that after more confounding factors were included,the risk of heart failure rehospitalization in patients with high grip strength was still significantly reduced(group 3 vs group 1,P=0.004).Subgroup analysis of different types of heart failure showed that patients with high grip strength had a significantly lower risk of heart failure rehospitalization in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(both P<0.05).There were no significant interactions between heart failure type and grip strength group(interaction P=0.568).Lowess curve showed that grip strength,as a continuous variable,was inversely associated with the risk of heart failure rehospitalization.Conclusion In patients with heart failure,patients with high grip strength have a significantly lower risk of heart failure rehospitalization.

Study on the correlation between triglyceride-glucose index and recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
[Journal Article]Zhao Xiaopai, Shi Jihui, Peng Xiaodong et al.-China Medicine2025, No.07

Abstract:Objective To evaluate the correlation between triglyceride glucose(TyG)index and recur-rence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF),and to explore a new risk stratification index for atrial fibrillation recurrence.Methods This study is based on a prospective,multicenter Chinese atrial fibrillation registry,which included 413 atrial fibrillation patients who underwent catheter ablation for the first time between August 2011 and December 2020 and met the diagnostic criteria for HFpEF.TyG index was calculated by comparing baseline triglycerides with fasting plasma glucose.The primary outcome was recurrence of atrial fibrillation after a 90d blank-period.Patients were stratified according to the first and third quartiles of TyG index(Q,:8.44,Q3:8.96)and divided into low TyG index group(TyG index<8.44,137 cases),medium TyG index group(TyG index 8.44-8.96,139 cases),and high TyG index group(TyG index>8.96,137 cases).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to evaluate the association between TyG index and atrial fibrillation recurrence.Results The average age of 413 patients was(61±11)years old,and 253 cases(61.3%)were male.During a median follow-up of 810 d,256 cases(62.0%)developed recurrent atrial fibrillation events.Each one-standard-deviation increase in the TyG index was associated with a 29%higher risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence[adjusted hazard ratio(HR)=1.29,95%confidence interval(CI):1.07-1.55,P=0.007].Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that TyG index had a dose-response relationship with the risk of recurrence.Compared with the low TyG index group,patients in the medium and high TyG index group had a 74%(adjusted HR=1.74,95%CI:1.21-2.50,P=0.003)and 106%(adjusted HR=2.06,95%CI:1.36-3.13,P=0.001)increased risk of recurrence,respectively(P for trend=0.001).Conclusions In atrial fibrillation patients with HFpEF,elevated TyG index is associated with a significantly increased risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation,and there is a dose-response relationship.TyG index,as an economic and practical indicator of insulin resistance,can be used to guide the risk stratification and individualized management of recurrence in this population.

[Journal Article]Sun Tiantian, Che Hao, Lyu Yufang et al.-China Medicine2024, No.11

Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship between systolic pulmonary arterial pressure(SPAP)and prognosis in pregnant women with shunt-related congenital heart disease-associated pulmonary hyper-tension(PH).Methods The clinical data of 254 pregnant women with shunt-related congenital heart disease-associated PH in Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2010 to July 2020 were retro-spectively analyzed.The patients were divided into non-drug treatment group(131 cases)and drug treatment group(123 cases)according to whether they needed postoperative drug treatment.The basic characteristics and perioperative management data of the two groups were compared.SPAP was estimated by echocardiography,and the correlation between SPAP and postoperative medication was evaluated by regression model,curve fitting and threshold saturation effect analysis.Results The body mass index and gestational age of the drug treatment group were less than those of the non-drug treatment group,the intraoperative infusion volume was less than that of the non-drug treatment group,and the proportion of New York Heart Association heart function grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ,SPAP levels,and the proportion of tricuspid valve regurgitation were higher than those in the non-drug treatment group(all P<0.001).After adjusting for possible confounding factors,there was a non-linear correlation between SPAP and postoperative medication,and the turning point of SPAP was 90 mmHg.When SPAP≤90 mmHg,the risk of postoperative drug therapy increased with the increase of SPAP(odds ratio=1.06,95%confidence interval:1.02-1.09,P=0.001).When SPAP>90 mmHg,there was no significant correlation between SPAP and postoperative medication(odds ratio=0.99,95%confidence interval:0.96-1.02,P=0.478).Compared with women with SPAP≤90 mmHg,those with SPAP>90 mmHg have a higher risk of postoperative drug therapy(odds ratio=3.06,95%confidence interval:1.14-8.06,P=0.023).Conclusions Puerperae with severe PH have a high risk of requiring drug therapy after surgery.For mild to moderate patients,it is necessary to be vigilant,prepare for drug treatment and improve pulmonary artery pressure as soon as possible to reduce the risk of pregnancy.For these patients,individualized assessment of multiple factors is more important.

Abstract:Objective To analyze the effect of role stress on work engagement of emergency physicians in specialized tertiary comprehensive hospitals by improving organizational justice.To summarize the main experiences and practices from the aspects of emergency medicine talent team construction,discipline construction,and performance distribution,and to provide some suggestions for improving the work engagement of emergency physi-cians in public hospitals.Methods A random cluster sampling method was used to select emergency physicians from Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University and 7 other public tertiary hospitals in Beijing as the research objects.The survey was conducted by means of network electronic questionnaire,and 221 respondents with valid questionnaires were collected as the research objects(hereinafter referred to as subjects).The role stress,work engagement and organizational Justice scale were used to investigate the subjects.SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive analysis and correlation analysis,and structural equation model was used to verify the theoretical research hypothesis(the negative correlation between role stress and work engagement of emergency physicians,and the moderating effect of organizational justice on the three-dimensional relationship between role stress and work engagement).Results Most of the 211 subjects were female,totaling 128 people,accounting for 57.92%.Most of the emergency physicians had higher education,with master's degree accounting for 48.87%,followed by university,accounting for 29.86%,the two accounted for more than 50.00%,and 75.11%of the subjects were ordinary workers without duties.The proportion of emergency specialists in subjects was 66.06%,and they were the main force engaged in specific emergency work.The results of structural equation model validation showed that the hypotheses were all valid.There was a strong negative correlation between role stress and work engagement in emergency physicians,and organizational justice moderated the relationship between role stress and work engagement.The standardized fit index was 0.812,and the standardized fit index was 0.862,indicating that the model fit was good.Conclusion There is still room for improvement in the work engagement of emergency physi-cians in specialized tertiary comprehensive hospitals,and improving their sense of organizational justice is the key link.Managers can adjust the impact of role stress on work engagement of emergency physicians by increasing salary,improving working environment and other organizational justice measures,so as to improve their work engagement level.

A case analysis about drug use of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with multidrug resistant bacterial infection
[Journal Article]Zhang Li, Ren Qianling, Zhou Su et al.-China Medicine2025, No.02

Abstract:This case report is of a patient with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.Moxalactam,ceftazidime and etimicin sulfate injection were given successively for anti-infective treatment,but the symptoms were not improved.Combined with the results of sputum culture suggesting Pseudomonas aeruginosa(mucoid type),the clinical pharmacist suggested adjusting the antibacterial drug to meropenem,and replacing sodium valproate sustained-release tablets with leveti-racetam tablets.Azithromycin tablets were added because the infection index of the patient was still high,although the infection index decreased after 3 d of treatment.After treatment,the symptoms and positive signs of the patient disappeared,and the patient was cured and discharged.Clinical pharmacists should actively communicate with clinicians according to the pharmacological effects,pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamic characteristics of antibiotics,and auxiliary medication precautions in combination with the patient's condition and pathogenic characteristics,so as to develop personalized and accurate dosing regimens for patients and guide clinical rational drug use.

Relationship between serum brain natriuretic peptide,ferritin and insulin-like growth factor 1 levels and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants
[Journal Article]Liang Junxia, Wang Lingling, Zhu Lei et al.-China Medicine2025, No.03

Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship between serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),ferritin and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)levels and bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in preterm infants,in order to provide a scientific basis for the diagnosis of BPD.Methods A total of 80 premature infants admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from May 2021 to May 2023 were selected.According to the presence or absence of BPD within 28 days after birth,the preterm infants were divided into BPD group(38 cases)and non-BPD group(42 cases).According to the severity of BPD,the infants in the BPD group were divided into mild group(14 cases),moderate group(13 cases),and severe group(11 cases).Blood samples were collected from each subject,and their basic clinical information was collected.Serum levels of BNP,ferritin and IGF-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The differences between BPD group and non-BPD group and between different severity subgroups of BPD were compared.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for BPD in preterm infants.Results The levels of serum BNP and ferritin in BPD group were higher than those in non-BPD group[(1 429±408)mg/L vs(137±33)mg/L,(372±120)μg/L vs(160±50)μg/L],and the level of IGF-1 was lower than that in non-BPD group[(26±8)μg/L vs(37±12)μg/L](all P<0.05).The serum levels of BNP and ferritin in preterm infants with different severity of BPD rised with the severity of the disease,with mild group<moderate group<severe group;the level of IGF-1 reduced with the severity of the disease,with mild group>moderate group>severe group,and the differences between any two groups were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The duration of mechanical ventilation,length of hospital stay,duration of continuous positive airway pressure,and the proportion of neonatal pneumonia and neonatal asphyxia in BPD group were higher than those in non-BPD group(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that serum levels of BNP and ferritin,duration of mechanical ventilation,and duration of continuous positive airway pressure were risk factors for BPD in preterm infants,while IGF-1 level was a protective factor(all P<0.05).Conclusions The levels of serum BNP and ferritin in preterm infants with BPD are increased,and the level of IGF-1 is decreased.The three levels can be used as indicators of BPD,which are of great significance in evaluating the condition of preterm infants with BPD.
