[Journal Article]LI Ruiyuan, ZHANG Yi, GUO Lipeng-Journal of Liaoning Medical University2026, No.01

Abstract:Objective To investigate the correlation between systemic immune inflammation index(SII)and the severity of coronary artery lesions in patients aged≥65 years with coronary artery disease(CAD)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 122 patients admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Dalian No.3 People's Hospital from January 2023 to August 2024 were enrolled.Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between SII/100 and modified Gensini scores.Patients were divided into two groups based on modified Gensini scores:mild stenosis group(≤22 points)and moderate-to-severe stenosis group(>22 points).Clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups.Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression,and the model was evaluated using ROC curves and calibration curves.Additionally,RCS analysis was employed to further examine the linear relationship between SII/100 and coronary lesion severity.Results The SII/100,total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and fibrinogen levels in the moderate-severe lesion group were significantly higher than those in the mild lesion group(P<0.005),while the serum cystatin C level was lower than that in the mild lesion group(P<0.005).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SII/100(OR=1.835,95%CI:1.285-2.620,P<0.001)and serum cystatin C(OR=0.155,95%CI:0.026-0.935,P=0.042)were independent factors influencing coronary lesion severity.The ROC curve of the multivariate logistic regression model showed an AUC of 0.793(95%CI:0.735-0.906),and the calibration curve demonstrated a good fit.SII/100 was significantly positively correlated with modified Gensini scores(r=0.360,P<0.05).After adjusting for confounding factors such as age,BMI,CAD history,smoking,alcohol consumption,hypertension,LDL,ALT,AST,fibrinogen,and serum cystatin,SII/100 remained independently and positively associated with coronary lesion severity(OR:1.96,95%CI:1.300-2.970,P<0.001),with a linear relationship and with an inflection point at 5.11.Conclusion SII was closely associated with the severity of coronary artery lesions in elderly patients(≥65 years)with CAD and T2DM.Early monitoring of SII levels in this population may provide valuable insights for the prevention and management of coronary artery disease.

[Journal Article]JING Jing, LI Jinbei, ZHANG Weiguo-Journal of Liaoning Medical University2026, No.01

Abstract:Objective To explore the evaluation value of serum levels of C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 15(CTRP15),BTB-CNC homolog 1(BACH1),and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL)for the cardiac function and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 151 AMI patients admitted to the Sixth Ward of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the AMI group.They were divided into the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group based on the prognosis.Another 100 healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations were selected as the control group.Color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect the cardiac function of the subjects.Enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay(ELISA)method was used to detect the levels of serum CTRP15,BACH1,and TRAIL.The data and serum CTRP15,BACH1,and TRAIL levels of the AMI group and the control group were compared.The cardiac function parameters of the AMI group and the control group were compared.The serum CTRP15,BACH1,and TRAIL levels of patients with different cardiac function grades were compared.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum CTRP15,BACH1,and TRAIL levels and cardiac function parameters.The incidence of poor prognosis in AMI patients was recorded.The data and serum CTRP15,BACH1,and TRAIL levels of patients with different prognoses were compared.The influencing factors of poor prognosis in AMI patients were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression.The predictive value of serum CTRP15,BACH1,and TRAIL levels for poor prognosis in AMI patients was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Results The serum BACH1 level of patients in the AMI group was higher than that of the control group,while the serum levels of CTRP15 and TRAIL were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The LVEF level of patients in the AMI group was lower than that of the control group,while left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVDD)and left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT)levels were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The higher the cardiac function grade of AMI patients,the higher the serum BACH1 level,and the lower the serum CTRP15 and TRAIL levels(P<0.05).The levels of serum CTRP15,BACH1 and TRAIL are closely related to the cardiac function parameters of AMI patients(P<0.05).The incidence of poor prognosis in AMI patients is 31.79%.The serum BACH1 level in the poor prognosis group is higher than that in the good prognosis group,while the serum CTRP15 and TRAIL levels are lower than those in the good prognosis group(P<0.05).The levels of serum CTRP15,BACH1 and TRAIL are influencing factors for poor prognosis in AMI patients(P<0.05).The joint of serum CTRP15,BACH1,and TRAIL levels had a higher value in predicting poor prognosis in AMI patients than individual predictions(ZCTRP15-joint prediction,ZBACH1-joint prediction,ZTRAIL-joint prediction=2.671,3.202,2.246;PCTRP15-joint prediction,PBACH1-joint prediction,PTRAIL-joint prediction=0.008,0.001,0.025).Conclusion Serum BACH1 is elevated in AMI patients,while serum CTRP15 and TRAIL are reduced.The levels of the three factors are closely related to the cardiac function and prognosis of AMI patients,and the joint of the three factors has a high value in predicting poor prognosis of AMI patients.

The Role of Vedolizumab in Combination Therapy for Treating Ulcerative Colitis with Non-response
[Journal Article]ZHANG Shuai, WU Yinong, GUO Lianyi et al.-Journal of Liaoning Medical University2026, No.01

Abstract:Objective To identify the precise molecular targets for vedolizumab(VDZ)treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC)that lead to non-response through clinical multivariate analysis and machine learning,and to explore combined medication strategies.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the risk factors related to the clinical response of patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis(UC)who received VDZ treatment,and a Logistic regression analysis was constructed.At the same time,based on the comprehensive dataset of gene expression,differential gene expression analysis,weighted gene co-expression network analysis,protein interaction network,and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis were used to screen the key genes for non-response.Combined with immune infiltration analysis and the Enrichr website,potential combined therapeutic drugs were explored.Results Clinical multivariate analysis revealed that a Mayo endoscopy score of≥2 points was an independent risk factor for clinical response(OR=5.835,95%CI:1.052-32.361,P=0.044).Bioinformatics analysis and machine learning identified interferon regulatory factor 4(IRF4)as the core hub gene driving the failure to respond.Functional enrichment analysis indicated that it was mainly enriched in key pathways such as the differentiation of type 17 helper T cells(Th17)and the interleukin 17(IL-17)signaling pathway.Immune infiltration analysis showed that M1 macrophages and neutrophils were significantly enriched in patients with failure to respond,suggesting the activation of alternative inflammatory pathways.Based on these mechanisms,JAK inhibitors and anti-interleukin 23(IL-23)antibodies were selected as potential combined treatment strategies to reverse the failure to respond in VDZ.Conclusion A Mayo endoscopy score of≥2 points is an independent risk factor for the clinical response in patients undergoing VDZ treatment.For UC patients with severe endoscopic inflammation,the failure to respond to VDZ may be related to the activation of the alternative inflammatory pathway mediated by the IRF4 gene.The combined use of JAK inhibitors or anti-IL-23 antibodies may be an effective strategy to overcome this challenge.

[Journal Article]CHEN Gang, WANG Shufeng, ZHAO Xin et al.-Journal of Liaoning Medical University2026, No.01

Abstract:Objective To explore the correlations between the key characteristics of the tooth extraction socket(shape,healing time,root tip depth)and the selection of implant shape as well as the implant torque,in order to provide evidence-based medical evidence for personalized implant treatment plans.Methods A retrospective study design was adopted,and 132 cases of single tooth extraction followed by implant restoration were included.The shape and root apex depth of the extraction socket were precisely measured using CBCT,and the shape of the implant and the actual implant torque data were extracted from the surgical records.Variance analysis,chi-square test,and multiple linear regression models were used to systematically analyze the association strength and statistical significance between the characteristics of the extraction socket and the selection of implant shape as well as the implant torque.Results The proportion of choosing conical implants for irregular-shaped extraction sockets(68.20%)was significantly higher than that for circular extraction sockets(23.50%);the implant torque in the delayed implant group(3 months or more after extraction)was(21.3±3.5)(N·cm),which was significantly higher than that in the immediate implant group(12.6±2.8)(N·cm);multivariate linear regression analysis showed that for every 1 mm increase in root apex depth,the average implant torque increased by 1.2(N·cm).Conclusion The shape of the extraction socket,the healing time,and the root tip depth are the core key factors influencing the selection of implant shape and the implant torque.Among them,the irregular-shaped extraction socket is more suitable for conical implants.Extending the healing time and increasing the root tip depth can significantly enhance the implant torque.

[Journal Article]WANG Xizhong, RUAN Caishun, WANG Yunqi et al.-Journal of Liaoning Medical University2025, No.05

Abstract:Brain insulin resistance is characterized by the weakened effect of insulin in the brain,and is regarded as a common pathological feature of metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.To explore the causes and pathological mechanisms of brain insulin resistance,we collected and analyzed the literature on brain insulin resistance in the PubMed database from 1946 to 2024.The result shows that apart from a small amount produced by some brain tissues,most of the insulin in the brain enters through the blood-brain barrier under the regulation of receptors;the lack of insulin in the brain due to insulin receptor resistance and reduced permeability of the blood-brain barrier,as well as the reduced insulin sensitivity of brain tissues themselves,are the two main manifestations of brain insulin resistance;the molecular mechanisms regulating the formation of brain insulin resistance involve multiple aspects such as inflammatory factors,oxidative stress,microtubule-associated protein Tau,glycogen synthase kinase 3β,sugar transporters 4,and neurotoxic substances;from a macroscopic perspective,behavioral factors such as high-sugar and high-fat diets,as well as tissue lesions such as fatty liver,aging,and brain trauma,can also lead to the situation of brain insulin resistance.This study systematically explored the formation mechanism,molecular mechanism and main regulatory factors of brain insulin resistance,aiming to provide a theoretical basis for future targeted intervention of brain insulin resistance to address metabolic disorders or related brain function diseases.

The Study on the Improvement of Spleen and Stomach Function After Surgery for Elderly Patients with Hip Fracture by MDT Mode Combined with Meridian Flow Timing Moxibustion
[Journal Article]SONG Tingting, ZANG Xuejing, LI Jing et al.-Journal of Liaoning Medical University2025, No.05

Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of multidisciplinary team,(MDT)combined with meridian-based timed moxibustion on improving gastrointestinal function in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery.Methods 80 elderly patients with hip fracture who underwent surgical treatment in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the research object.They were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 40 cases in each group.The patients in the control group received routine management under MDT mode,while the patients in the observation group received additional intervention measures of moxibustion at the right time based on MDT management mode.The intervention period of the two groups was 4 weeks.The indexes of intestinal function recovery,gastrointestinal hormone level,spleen and stomach weakness syndrome score,constipation severity and incidence of adverse reactions were compared on the day after operation and after the whole intervention period.Results After the whole intervention cycle,the recovery indexes of gastrointestinal function,such as the recovery of bowel sounds,the first exhaust and the first defecation time,were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of constipation in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).At the same time,the level of gastrointestinal hormones in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group.In terms of the improvement of the total score of spleen and stomach weakness syndrome,the clinical symptom score of constipation(CCS)and the Bristol Stool Form Scale(BSFS),the observation group was better than the control group(P<0.05).In terms of safety,the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The intervention plan of MDT mode combined with meridian flow injection timing moxibustion can significantly promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function in elderly patients with hip fractures after surgery,and effectively improve spleen and stomach weakness and postoperative constipation problems,with good safety.This plan has high promotion and application value.
