Research progress on the role and mechanism of FoxO1 in stroke
[Journal Article]Wang Jiahui, Yang Guangming, Liu Qian et al.-China Medicine2025, No.08

Abstract:Stroke is currently one of the most common causes of death in the world.The mammalian forkhead box(Fox)O1 plays important roles in the occurrence and development of stroke,such as inducing cell death and inflammatory response,inhibiting oxidative damage,affecting the blood-brain barrier,and regulating hepatic gluconeogenesis.In view of these roles of FoxO1 in the occurrence and development of stroke,different measures and treatments have been adopted,but the role and mechanism of FoxO1 remain elusive and even contradictory.Therefore,the identification of these effects and their mechanisms will further reveal the FoxO1 signal transduction and related targeted drugs,and then provide an important method or basis for the prevention and treatment of stroke.This article reviews the research progress of FoxO1 in the pathogenesis of stroke and its mechanism.

[Journal Article]Peng Siqin, Yu Hehua, Chen Hong et al.-China Medicine2025, No.12

Abstract:Objective To explore the risk factors of early enteral nutrition(EEN)intolerance in elderly patients with severe pneumonia,and to construct and verify a nomogram model.Methods A total of 209 elderly patients with severe pneumonia in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University of Chinese People's Liberation Army from January 2023 to January 2025 were selected.EEN tolerance of patients was recorded.According to the presence or absence of EEN intolerance symptoms,the patients were divided into tolerance group and intolerance group.The risk factors of EEN intolerance were analyzed and a nomogram was drawn.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to test the predictive efficacy of the nomogram model.Results Among 209 elderly patients with severe pneumonia,86 cases had EEN intolerance.The incidence was 41.1%(86/209).Among the patients with EEN intolerance,74.4%(64/86)had single symptom,mainly diarrhea,gastric retention and abdominal distension,25.6%(22/86)had two or more symptoms,and EEN intolerance mainly occurred on the first and second day of the implementation of EEN.Old age,late start of enteral nutrition,high clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS),long duration of mechanical ventilation and intermittent injection were independent risk factors for EEN intolerance in elderly patients with severe pneumonia(all P<0.05).The prediction model of EEN intolerance in elderly patients with severe pneumonia was constructed according to the influencing factors screened from the results of Logistic regression analysis.Logit(P)=-15.541+0.923 × age+0.966 × initiation time of enteral nutrition+0.854 × CPIS+0.338 × mechanical ventilation time-0.959 × feeding mode.Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that x2=4.138,degree of freedom=8,P=0.830.The nomogram showed that when the sum of the scores of each influencing factor was more than 144,the risk of EEN intolerance was more than 80%.The consistency index of the nomogram model was 0.888,and the area under the curve for predicting EEN intolerance in elderly patients with severe pneumonia was 0.888(95%confidence interval:0.837-0.927).Conclusion The risk factors of EEN intolerance in elderly patients with severe pneumonia include old age,late start time of enteral nutrition,high CPIS,long duration of mechanical ventilation and intermittent injection.The nomogram model based on the above influencing factors has a high predictive efficiency for EEN intolerance in elderly patients with severe pneumonia,which is helpful for medical staff to accurately identify high-risk groups.It has guiding significance for the improvement of nutrition management strategy.

Research progress on the choice of percutaneous coronary intervention approach in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock
[Journal Article]Ma Haoran, Zhang Xinyong, Zhang Minghui et al.-China Medicine2025, No.12

Abstract:Cardiogenic shock is a serious and fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction.About 5%-10%of patients with acute myocardial infarction will develop cardiogenic shock,and the mortality rate is as high as 40%-50%.Timely and effective revascularization can maximize the rescue of ischemic myocardium,restore heart pump function,and significantly improve the survival rate of patients.Percutaneous coronary interven-tion is currently the main revascularization method.In percutaneous coronary intervention,the choice of vascular approach has an important impact on the prognosis of patients and the incidence of complications.At present,radial artery and femoral artery are commonly used interventional access.Radial artery approach has significant advantages in reducing bleeding complications,but femoral artery approach still plays an irreplaceable role in complex operations and mechanical support.Most access studies recommend that radial access should be preferred when conditions permit,and femoral access should be selected in certain circumstances,but the best access for patients with cardiogenic shock is still inconclusive.This article will briefly review the related research and clinical practice of the choice of percutaneous coronary intervention approach in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock.

[Journal Article]Cheng Zixu, Zuo Yangming, Meng Qingyue-China Medicine2026, No.01

Abstract:Lymph node calcification in the parotid gland region is a rare chronic secondary disease with potential clinical significance.This article reports a case of a 41-year-old female patient with left parotid gland region lymph node calcification,who presented with a mass in the left preauricular area for 30 years.The patient had no obvious symptoms in the early stage and sought medical attention recently due to occasional pain.Imaging examinations suggested a calcified nodule in the left parotid gland,and intraoperative and postoperative pathology further confirmed lymph node calcification in the parotid gland region.Open surgical treatment was performed,and the patient recovered well postoperatively.The uniqueness of this case lies in its long disease course and rare anatomical location.The diagnosis and treatment of such diseases require a comprehensive consideration of patient symptoms,lesion characteristics,and pathological results.This report aims to provide a therapeutic reference for clinicians when encountering similar rare cases.

Analysis of the impact of non-matching nucleic acid extraction reagents on human papillomavirus genotyping results
[Journal Article]Wu Litao, Zhang Wei, Zhou Hangyu et al.-China Medicine2026, No.01

Abstract:Objective To explore the impact of non-matching nucleic acid extraction reagents on human papillomavirus(HPV)genotyping results.Methods A total of 171 cervical exfoliated cell samples were collected from female patients who visited the Department of Gynecology,Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from March to April 2025.HPV DNA was extracted by manual boiling method and magnetic bead method(automatic nucleic acid extraction using non-matching nucleic acid extraction reagents),respectively.Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect HPV genotypes.The negative coincidence rate,positive coincidence rate,and total coincidence rate of nucleic acid detection results obtained by different extraction methods were analyzed,as well as their impacts on single infection,multiple infections of HPV subtypes,and sample viral load.Results The negative coincidence rate and positive coincidence rate of the detection results by the two methods were 100.0%(128/128)and 93.0%(40/43),respectively,with a total coincidence rate of 97.1%(166/171).Consistency analysis of gene subtypes and internal reference in 43 positive samples showed that the automatic nucleic acid extraction method did not cause a significant increase in the internal reference Ct value due to the reduced sample volume.Kendall's concordance coefficient test showed statistical significance(both P<0.001),indicating consistency between the two extraction methods.The Kendall's concord-ance coefficients were 0.953 and 0.943,respectively,suggesting a strong degree of consistency.Analysis of the viral load of samples extracted by the two methods showed that consistent results and an increase of 1 order of magnitude accounted for 84.0%(42/50).Conclusion Compared with the manual boiling method,the magnetic bead method(automatic nucleic acid extraction with non-matching reagents)can obtain HPV DNA solutions with higher concentration and purity,which is more suitable for laboratory promotion and application.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of ectopic pregnancy in plateau area.Methods A total of 283 patients with ectopic pregnancy admitted to Department of Gynecology,Lhasa People's Hospital,Tibet Autonomous Region from December 2021 to December 2024 were retrospectively selected,including 192 cases of tubal pregnancy,7 cases of cornual pregnancy,11 cases of uterine scar pregnancy,5 cases of ovarian pregnancy,and 68 cases of unspecified location.The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results The average age of 283 patients was(31±6)years old,of which219 patients(77.4%)were Tibetan,66 patients(23.3%)were from areas with altitude≥4 000 m,121 patients(42.8%)had a history of abortion,101 patients(35.7%)had a history of pelvic surgery,27 patients(9.5%)had a history of ectopic pregnancy,and 26 patients(9.2%)with intrauterine device placement.A total of 203 cases of 283 patients were treated with laparoscopic or open surgery,including 43 cases(21.2%)with rupture and hemorrhagic shock symptoms,which were included in the combined shock group,including 35 cases(81.4%)of Tibetan patients,11 cases(25.6%)from altitude≥4 000 m,and the remaining 160 cases were included in the non combined shock group.There were no significant differences in age,pregnancy,parity,number of miscarriages,history of ectopic pregnancy,history of pelvic surgery,altitude≥4 000 m,and proportion of Tibetans between the two groups(all P>0.05).The intraoperative blood volume,blood loss,and total effusion volume in the combined shock group were greater than those in the non combined shock group,and the preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin,red blood cell count,and hematocrit were lower than those in the non combined shock group(all P<0.05).The bleeding volume of patients with ectopic pregnancy rupture hemorrhagic shock was 2 100(1 550,2 550)ml,and the preop-erative hemoglobin value of some patients was still within the normal range.Conclusion The occurrence of ectopic pregnancy complicated with hemorrhagic shock at high altitude has nothing to do with nationality,altitude of living area,number of miscarriages,ectopic pregnancy history or pelvic surgery history.The intraoperative blood volume,blood loss,and total effusion volume of the combined shock group were larger,and the preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin,red blood cell count,and hematocrit were lower.Due to the compensatory increase of hemoglobin in patients with hypoxia in plateau area,the hemoglobin value of patients with ectopic pregnancy in plateau area often cannot reflect the severity of the disease.It is necessary to pay attention to dynamic monitoring changes and make decisions as soon as possible combined with other examination methods.

Clinical application progress of inferior vena cava diameter and variability in fluid management of heart failure
[Journal Article]Wu Lei, Han Hongya, Liu Xiaoli et al.-China Medicine2026, No.02

Abstract:Heart failure is a syndrome caused by abnormalities in cardiac structure or function,leading to decreased cardiac output or elevated intracardiac pressure,with fluid retention as one of its core pathological mechanisms.Accurate assessment of volume status is crucial for alleviating patient symptoms and reducing the risk of readmission.Traditional volume assessment methods,such as physical examination,natriuretic peptide testing,and right heart catheterization,have limitations.This includes in accuracies invasiveness,or high operational costs.The inferior vena cava(IVC)is the largest-diameter venous system in the human body,and its morphological and dynamic changes can reflect the body's hemodynamic status.In recent years,ultrasound-based measurement of IVC diameter and calculation of IVC variability have provided a non-invasive tool for assessing intravascular volume status and guiding fluid management.With the standardization of assessment protocols and technological advance-ments,the clinical value of IVC parameters in individualized fluid management for patients with heart failure has become increasingly prominent.

Correlation study and predictive value of systemic inflammation composite index with hypertension in non-overweight or non-obese population
[Journal Article]Li Meijie, Qiu Linjie, Ren Yan et al.-China Medicine2026, No.02

Abstract:Objective To explore the correlation and predictive value of the aggregate index of systemic inflammation(AISI)with hypertension in non-overweight or non-obese population.Methods A total of 8 920 non-overweight or non-obese adults who underwent health checkups at Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from January 1,2021 to September 30,2024 were enrolled.They were divided into hypertension group and control group(non-hypertensive population)according to the presence of hypertension.Due to the skewed distribution of AISI,logarithmic transformation(Log2)was performed for subsequent analysis,and baseline characteristics were observed with hypertension status as the grouping basis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of AISI for hypertension in non-overweight or non-obese population.Results Among 8 920 non-overweight or non-obese subjects,1 289 were hypertensive patients(hypertension group)and the rest were non-hypertensive(control group).The hypertension group had significantly higher levels of age,body mass index,total cholesterol,triglycerides,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,fasting blood glucose,serum creatinine,serum uric acid,and Log2 AISI(all P<0.05).In addition,there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the proportions of drinking history,diabetes mellitus,kidney disease history,other cardio-cerebrovascular disease history,and family history of hypertension(all P<0.05).In the continuous variable analysis,Model 1 without covariate adjustment showed that for each 1-unit increase in Log2 AISI in non-overweight or non-obese individuals,the risk of hypertension increased by 24%.This association remained significant even after full adjustment for covariates(both P<0.001).In the categorical variable analysis,Model 1 without covariate adjustment revealed that individuals in the highest quartile of Log2 AISI had a significantly higher risk of hypertension than those in the lowest quartile,and this association persisted in the fully adjusted Model 3(both P<0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of Log2 AISI for predicting the risk of hypertension in non-overweight or non-obese population was 0.615(95%confidence interval:0.599-0.629).Conclusion In the non-overweight or non-obese population,AISI is significantly non-linearly and positively correlated with the risk of hypertension and has good predictive efficacy,which can be used for the early diagnosis of hypertension in non-overweight or non-obese individuals.
