文摘It is often challenging to diagnose acute myocardial infarction(AMI)in patients with elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)before observing a significant rise and/or fall in hs-cTnT.The current study aimed to identify an optimal cut-off to rule in AMI.A total of 76411 patients with elevated hs-cTnT were included.The predictive cut-off values for diagnosing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)and non-STsegment elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI)were assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Among the patients,50466(66.0%)had non-cardiac diseases,25945(34.0%)had cardiac diseases,and 15502(20.3%)had AMI,including 816(1.1%)with STEMI and 14686(19.2%)with NSTEMI.The median hs-cTnT level was 3788.0 ng/L in STEMI patients and 67.2 ng/L in NSTEMI patients.The optimal cut-off for diagnosing STEMI was 251.9 ng/L,with a sensitivity of 90.7%,specificity of 86.5%,and an AUC of 0.942;the optimal cut-off for diagnosing NSTEMI was 130.5 ng/L,with a sensitivity of 40.9%,specificity of 83.8%,and an AUC of 0.638.Collectively,optimizing the cut-off values for diagnosing STEMI and NSTEMI to 251.9 ng/L and 130.5 ng/L,respectively,demonstrated high accuracy in a large cohort of Chinese patients with elevated hs-cTnT.
文摘This article comprehensively explores the relationship between anxiety and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy(HDP),covering epidemiology,potential mechanisms,and management strategies.HDP is the second leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality,encompassing subtypes such as gestational hypertension,preeclampsia,and eclampsia.Research indicates that anxiety is closely associated with the occurrence of HDP,potentially influencing blood pressure regulation and vascular function through neuroendocrine,inflammatory,genetic,and gut microbiota effects.Epidemiological data show that anxiety is prevalent during pregnancy and is linked to an increased risk of HDP.Biological mechanism studies reveal that anxiety can increase the risk of HDP by activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis,promoting inflammation,and affecting gut microbiota.In terms of treatment and management,psychological interventions(such as relaxation training,yoga,and mindfulness meditation)and pharmacological treatments(such as labetalol and nifedipine)play important roles in alleviating anxiety and improving the prognosis of HDP.Additionally,multidisciplinary collaboration and long-term postpartum follow-up are crucial for reducing the long-term risk of cardiovascular diseases.Despite significant progress in research on anxiety and HDP,many issues still require further exploration,including in-depth mechanism studies,optimization of clinical interventions,improvement of multidisciplinary collaboration models,long-term follow-up studies,and the impact of cultural and social factors.
文摘Objective:To examine the protective effect of saikosaponin D against streptozotocin(STZ)-induced gestational diabetes mellitus in female rats.Methods:Intraperitoneal administration of STZ(40 mg/kg)was used for the induction of diabetes in pregnant rats,and rats orally received sikosaponin D(10,20,and 40 mg/kg).The body weight,placental weight,fetal weight,fetal index,and various biochemical parameters,including antioxidant,glucose level,cytokines,and apoptosis parameters,were estimated.The expression levels of various mRNAs were also analyzed.Results:Saikosaponin D increased body weight and fetal weight while decreasing placental weight and placental index.Saikosaponin D significantly altered various biochemical parameters such as fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),hemoglobin,hepatic glycogen,advanced glycation end products,lipid parameters(total cholesterol,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein,high density lipoprotein,very low density lipoprotein),antioxidant parameters(superoxide dismutase,glutathione,glutathione peroxidase,malonaldehyde,catalase),inflammatory cytokines(tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6,interleukin-1β,interleukin-10),apoptosis parameters(Bcl-2,Bax,caspase-3),resistin,adiponectin,leptin,intercellular adhesion molecule 1,vascular cell adhesion molecule-1,and monocyte chemotactic protein-1.Furthermore,saikosaponin D modulated the mRNA expression of TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB,NLRP3,TNF-α,IL-6,CRP,SIRT1,and MAPK.Conclusions:Saikosaponin D exhibits a protective effect against STZinduced gestational diabetes mellitus in rats via regulation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.

文摘Aegilops variabilis(S^(v)S^(v)U^(v)U^(v))is a source of resistance to wheat stripe rust.The phKL locus in Chinese common wheat landrace Kaixian-Luohanmai(KL)can induce homoeologous wheat-alien chromosome pairing and recombination.In this study,we confirmed that the whole 2S^(v)chromosome introgressed into wheat from Ae.variabilis accession AS116 conferred all-stage stripe rust resistance.The underlying gene(s),named YrAev,was mapped to the long arm 2S^(v)L using an F_(2)population.Two 2S^(v)-2B recombinants,derived from a cross of the 2S^(v)(2B)chromosome substitution line and KL,were confirmed to harbor the resistance locus.The physical region containing YrAev,determined from RNA-seq data,was 844.6-852.1 Mb on the chromosome arm 2S^(l)of the Ae.longissima(S^(v)genome donor species of Ae.variabilis)accession TL05 assembly v1.0.Differential gene expression analysis of post-inoculation with the Pst race has indicated two disease-resistance-related genes(annotated as mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat like protein,respectively)as promising candidates for YrAev.This study demonstrates the utility of the phKL gene system in alien gene localization and transfer.The resistant translocation line harboring YrAev can be exploited by wheat breeders as a novel source of resistance to stripe rust.

文摘Efficient and stable photocathodes with versatility are of significance in photoassisted lithium-ion batteries(PLIBs),while there is always a request on fast carrier transport in electrochemical active photocathodes.Present work proposes a general approach of creating bulk heterojunction to boost the carrier mobility of photocathodes by simply laser assisted embedding of plasmonic nanocrystals.When employed in PLIBs,it was found effective for synchronously enhanced photocharge separation and transport in light charging process.Additionally,experimental photon spectroscopy,finite difference time domain method simulation and theoretical analyses demonstrate that the improved carrier dynamics are driven by the plasmonic-induced hot electron injection from metal to TiO_(2),as well as the enhanced conductivity in TiO2 matrix due to the formation of oxygen vacancies after Schottky contact.Benefiting from these merits,several benchmark values in performance of TiO2-based photocathode applied in PLIBs are set,including the capacity of 276 mAh g^(−1) at 0.2 A g^(−1) under illumination,photoconversion efficiency of 1.276%at 3 A g^(−1),less capacity and Columbic efficiency loss even through 200 cycles.These results exemplify the potential of the bulk heterojunction strategy in developing highly efficient and stable photoassisted energy storage systems.
