To prevent severe damage to the surrounding rock of the roadway under the high ground pressure within deep mining, the stress evolution of the surrounding rock was studied, and the surrounding rock control technology in the II1057 roadway of Zhuxianzhuang Coal Mine before and after passing fault was conducted through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and engineering practice. The results show that when the roadway is advanced to 20 m away from the fault, the surrounding rock is broken, cracks are generated at 2.56 m above the roof, and the advance abutment pressure of the roadway is 17–20 MPa. Through the borehole detection technology, the development of the internal cracks in the surrounding rock was observed, and the surrounding rock control technology scheme (the advanced grouting in front of the roadway and the active support of rock bolt + anchor cable + M steel belt + steel beam + metal mesh) was proposed. The engineering practice shows that the roof separation, roof-to-floor convergence and sidewall convergence are greatly reduced, and the mechanical properties of the surrounding rock of the roadway are greatly improved, leading to the effective control of the deformation of the roadway surrounding rock.

Abstract Background The plasma uric acid to albumin ratio (UAR) is considered as a novel indicator for Inflammation. However, the association between UAR and coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) remains unclear. Methods A total of 1328 individuals with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) receiving coronary angiography (CAG) and found no obvious obstructive stenosis (

AimsThis study aims to investigate the effects of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) on the prognosis of chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients with or without metabolic syndrome (MetS).MethodsThe study included 342 CTO patients who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention at the People's Hospital of Liaoning Province between 1 February 2021 and 30 September 2023. The Rentrop score was used to assess the status of CCC. The outcome was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and non-fatal stroke. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to investigate the association of CCC, MetS, and MACCEs with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The effect of CCC was further investigated in different MetS, diabetes mellitus (DM), and Syntax score groups.ResultsMACCEs were more common in patients with poor CCC compared to those with good CCC (38.74% vs. 16.56%). Statistical differences were found in MACCEs (OR = 3.33, 95% CI: 1.93–5.72), MI (OR = 3.11, 95% CI: 1.73–5.58), TVR (OR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.70–5.53), and stent thrombosis (OR = 6.14, 95% CI: 2.76–13.65) between the good and poor CCC groups. Poor CCC patients with MetS had a higher incidence of MACCEs (OR = 4.21, 95% CI: 2.05–8.65), non-fatal MI (OR = 4.44, 95% CI: 2.01–9.83), TVR (OR = 3.28, 95% CI: 1.51–7.11), and stent thrombosis (OR = 10.80, 95% CI: 3.11–37.54). Similar findings were also observed in CTO patients with DM and a Syntax score ≥23.ConclusionPoor CCC could increase the risk of MACCEs in CTO patients, particularly those with MetS, DM, and a Syntax score ≥23. Further prospective, multicenter studies are needed to validate our findings and to explore potential therapeutic interventions.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging analysis has been a useful tool in screening patients for heart disease. Early, timely and accurate diagnosis of diseases of the heart series is the key to effective treatment. MRI provides important material for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases. The rise of deep learning has transformed computer-aided diagnostic systems, especially in the field of medical imaging. Existing work on cardiac structure segmentation models based on MRI imaging mainly relies on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which lack model diversity and limit the prediction performance. This paper introduces Visual Transformer with Feature Recombination and Feature Distillation(ViT-FRD), a novel learning pipeline that combines a visual transformer (ViT) and a CNN through knowledge refinement. The training procedure allows the student model, i.e., ViT, to learn from the teacher model, i.e., CNN, by optimizing distillation losses. Meanwhile, ViT-FRD provides two performance boosters to increase the efficacy and efficiency of training. The proposed method is validated on two cardiac MRI image datasets. The findings demonstrate that ViT-FRD achieves SOTA and outperforms the widely used baseline model.

BackgroundEvidence suggests that patients suffering from angina with no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) experience coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). We aimed to understand the diagnosis value of noninvasive myocardial work indices (MWIs) with left ventricular pressure-strain loop (LV PSL) by echocardiography in ANOCA patients with CMD.Methods97 patients with ANOCA were recruited. All subjects underwent standard echocardiography with traditional ultrasound parameters, two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography with global longitudinal strain (GLS), LV PSL with MWIs include global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global waste work (GWW) and global work efficiency (GWE). In addition, all enrolled cases underwent high-dose adenosine stress echocardiography (SE) with coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR). CMD was defined as CFVR

Abstract Background Periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the incidence predictors and prognosis of PMI in chronic total occlusion (CTO) undergoing PCI remains unclear. Method To evaluate the predictors and prognostic impact of PMI following PCI in patients with CTO. We consecutively enrolled 132 individuals and 8 of whom with procedural failure were excluded in this study. Thus, a total of 124 CTO patients successfully received PCI were included in this study. And patients were divided into the PMI group (n = 42) and the non-PMI group (n = 82) according to their c-TnI levels measured after procedure. The baseline and angiographic characteristics of the two groups were compared. The predictors of PMI and the correlation between PMI and MACE were investigated. Results Overall, PMI occurred in 42 patients (33.9%). Comparing with control group, PMI group had more diabetes (54.8% vs. 31.7%,P = 0.013) and dyslipidemia (54.8% vs. 13.4%, P＜0.001). Also, there were significant differences between the two groups in left ventricular ejection fraction(43.2 ± 7.2 vs 47.2 ± 8.0, P = 0.027), prior myocardial infarction(54.8%vs43.1%, P = 0.020), prior PCI(57.1% vs 22.0%, P＜0.001) and prior CABG(14.3% vs 2.4%, P = 0.011). Also, patients with PMI had more calcified lesions (52.4% vs 24.4%, P = 0.002) and were more likely to have multivessel disease (71.4% vs 35.4%, P＜0.001). In addition, patients in the PMI group had higher J-CTO scores (3.3 ± 1.0 vs 1.9 ± 0.5, P＜0.001) and were more likely to have wire-crossing difficulties (64.3% vs 37.8%, P = 0.005), require more use of retrograde approach (38.1% vs 7.3%, P＜0.001) and have more procedural complications (19.0% vs 2.4%, P = 0.003). In the multivariate analysis, multivessel artery disease (odd ratio [OR], 4.347;95% confidence interval [CI], 1.601– 11.809;P = 0.004), retrograde approach (OR, 4.036; 95%CI, 1.162– 14.020;P = 0.028) and the presence of procedural complications (OR, 16.480;95%CI, 2.515-107.987;P = 0.003) were predictors of PMI. Conclusion The incidence of PMI in CTO patients after PCI was 33.9%. Multivessel artery disease, retrograde approach, and the presence of procedural complications were predictors of PMI after CTO-PCI. Patients who develop PMI tend to have a poorer clinical prognosis and more MACE than those who do not develop PMI.

Abstract Background Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII, platelet × neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio), a new marker of inflammation, is associated with adverse cardiovascular events, but its relationship with coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between SII and CSFP. Methods We enrolled consecutive patients who presented with chest pain, with normal/near-normal coronary angiography findings (n = 89 as CSFP group; n = 167 as control group). The baseline characteristics, laboratory parameters and angiographic characteristics of the two groups were compared. Results SII levels were significantly higher in the CSFP group than in the control group (409.7 ± 17.7 vs. 396.7 ± 12.7, p 404.29 was a predictor of CSFP with 67.4% sensitivity and 71.9% specificity. Conclusions SII can predict the occurrence of CSFP.

BackgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention for in-stent restenosis (ISR) chronic total occlusion (CTO) has been a great challenge. There are occasions when the balloon is uncrossable or undilatable (BUs) even though the guidewire has passed, leading to failure of the procedure. Few studies have focused on the incidence, predictors, and management of BUs during ISR-CTO intervention.MethodsPatients with ISR-CTO were recruited consecutively between January 2017 and January 2022 and divided into two groups based on the presence of BUs. The clinical data of the two groups (BUs group and non-BUs group) were retrospectively analyzed and compared to explore the predictors and clinical management strategies of BUs.ResultsA total of 218 patients with ISR-CTO were included in this study, 23.9% (52/218) of whom had BUs. The percentage of ostial stents, stent length, CTO length, the presence of proximal cap ambiguity, moderate to severe calcification, moderate to severe tortuosity, and J-CTO score were higher in the BUs group than in the non-BUs group (p

Abstract Background To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of the Euro CTO (CASTLE)CTA score obtained on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for predicting the success of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the 30-min wire crossing in chronic total occlusions (CTO). Method One hundred and fifty patients (154 CTO cases; median age, 61 (interquartile range [IQR], 54–68) years; 75.3% male) received CCTA at the People's Hospital of Liaoning Provincce within 1 month before the procedure. The Euro CTO (CASTLE) score obtained on CCTA(CASTLECTA) was calculated and compared with the Euro CTO (CASTLE) score obtained based on coronary angiography (CASTLECAG) for the predictive value of 30-min wire crossing and CTO procedural success. Results In our study, the CTO-PCI success rate was 89.0%, with guidewires of 65 cases (42.2%) crossing within 30 min. There were no significant differences in the median CASTLECTA and CASTLECAG scores in the procedure success group (3 [IQR, 2–4] vs 3 (IQR, 2–3]; p = 0.126). However, the median CASTLECTA score was significantly higher than the median CASTLECAG score in the procedure failure group (4 [IQR, 3–5.5] vs 4 [IQR, 2.5–5.5]; p = 0.021). There was no significant difference between the median CASTLECTA score and the median CASTLECAG score in the 30-min wire crossing failure group (3 [IQR, 3–4] vs 3 [IQR, 2–4]; p = 0.254). However, the median CASTLECTA score was significantly higher than the median CASTLECAG score in the 30-min wire crossing group (3 [IQR, 2–3] vs 2 [IQR, 2–3]; p

Background/objective: Hip dysfunction in young population caused by developmental dysplasia of the hip, congenital hip deformity or femur head necrosis severely affect the quality of life of young patients, and total hip replacement is the current widely accepted standard therapy for hip function reconstruction in adults, but not for young patients. Alternative safe and effective surgical method for hip function preservation/reconstruction for young patients is lacking. Ilizarov hip reconstruction osteotomy was an alternative method for preserving hip function but the surgical procedures were rather complicated using discomforting ring fixation at the hip region that prevents its wider acceptance and application. Here we reported a modified Ilizarov hip reconstruction surgery for hip dysfunction/deformity correction in adolescent and young adults using femoral shaft osteotomy and simplified unilateral external fixation configuration at the hip region with satisfactory clinical outcomes. Methods: This is a retrospective study with five male and twelve female patients aged from 10 to 34 years old (mean 20.6 years) including 11 developmental dislocations of the hip and 6 femoral head necrosis. Modified Ilizarov hip reconstruction y surgery was performed using single-arm triangular configuration, threaded half pins on the femur and multiple drill hole guide for osteotomy. The mechanical axis and limb length were corrected spontaneously during the subsequent limb lengthening process in all patients. Preoperative and postoperative gross appearance, radiography of the hip and hip function assessment scores were recorded and compared during the follow-up period. Results: The mean follow-up period was 64.3 months (12–87 months). Satisfactory hip appearance, hip and knee functions were achieved in all patients, none resulted in hip replacement surgery at the follow-up period. The mean preoperative and postoperative Harris hip scores were 45.92 ​± ​19.41 and 87.16 ​± ​5.31, respectively (p ​

Abstract Background Based on differences in populations and prevention and control measures, the spread of new coronary pneumonia in different countries and regions also differs. This study aimed to calculate the transmissibility of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to evaluate the effectiveness of measures to control the disease in Jilin Province, China. Methods The data of reported COVID-19 cases were collected, including imported and local cases from Jilin Province as of March 14, 2019. A Susceptible–Exposed–Infectious–Asymptomatic–Recovered/Removed (SEIAR) model was developed to fit the data, and the effective reproduction number (R eff ) was calculated at different stages in the province. Finally, the effectiveness of the measures was assessed. Results A total of 97 COVID-19 infections were reported in Jilin Province, among which 45 were imported infections (including one asymptomatic infection) and 52 were local infections (including three asymptomatic infections). The model fit the reported data well (R 2 = 0.593, P

Abstract Background Patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) require effective antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Ticagrelor has more pronounced platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. However, the most appropriate dose of ticagrelor in East Asian populations remains unclear. Method We compared ticagrelor (180 mg loading dose, 90 mg twice daily thereafter and 120 mg loading dose, 60 mg twice daily thereafter) and clopidogrel (300 mg loading dose, 75 mg daily thereafter) for prevention of cardiovascular events in 525patients with CTO undergoing PCI. Results The rate of in-hospital major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) was not different between the groups. At 1-year follow-up, target vessel revascularization (TVR) in both ticagrelor groups were significantly lower than that in the clopidogrel group (p = 0.047); TVR was significantly decreased in 60 mg ticagrelor compared to standard dose clopidogrel (p = 0.046). At 1-year follow-up, overall MACCE in both ticagrelor groups were significantly lower than that in the clopidogrel group (p = 0.023). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed MACCE-free survival was significantly higher in both ticagrelor groups than in the clopidogrel group (p = 0.024). During hospitalization, minor bleeding was significant increased in the 90 mg ticagrelor group (p = 0.021). At 1-year follow-up, risk of major and minor bleeding were significantly increased in the 90 mg ticagrelor group. Conclusion In East Asian patients with CTO undergoing PCI, 60 mg ticagrelor was as effective as 90 mg, at the same time significantly reduced risk of bleeding.

Background. Soluble growth stimulator gene 2 protein (sST2) is associated with heart failure and myocardial infarction; however, the predictive value of plasma sST2 level for coronary slow flow/no-reflow (CSF/NRF) is unclear. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of plasma sST2 levels for CSF/NRF in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods. A total of 242 STEMI patients who underwent emergency PCI at our hospital between November 2020 and July 2021 were enrolled in this study. According to the postprocedural procedure, these patients were divided into the CSF/NRF and control groups. Clinical data were collected from both groups and were used to explore the predictive value of serum sST2 levels for CSF/NRF. Results. Of the total 242 patients, CSF/NRF was observed in 50 patients (20.7%). Statistically significant differences (P

Importance: S100A12 is a calcium binding protein which is involved in inflammation and progression of atherosclerosis.Objective: We sought to investigate the utility of S100A12 as a biomarker for the early diagnosis and prognostication of patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Design, Setting, and Participants: S100A12 was measured in 1023 patients presenting to the emergency department with acute chest pain between June 2012 and November 2015. An independent cohort of 398 patients enrolled at 3 different hospitals served as a validation cohort.Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary clinical endpoint of interest was major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) defined as a composite of all-cause death, MI, stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure.Results: A total of 438/1023 patients (42.8%) in the diagnosis cohort were adjudicated as STEMI, among whom plasma S100A12 levels increased within 30 min and peaked 1–2 h after symptom onset. Compared with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme, S100A12 more accurately identified STEMI, especially within the first 2 h after symptom onset (area under the curve 0.963 compared with 0.860 for hscTnT and 0.711 for CK-MB, both P < 0.05). These results were consistent in the 243-patient validation cohort. The 1-year rate of MACCE was greatest in patients in the highest peak S100A12 tertile, intermediate in the middle tertile and least in the lowest tertile (9.3 vs. 5.7 vs. 3.0% respectively, Ptrend = 0.0006). By multivariable analysis the peak plasma concentration of S100A12 was an independent predictor of MACCE within 1 year after STEMI (HR, 1.001, 95%CI, 1.000–1.002; P = 0.0104).Conclusions and Relevance: S100A12 rapidly identified patients with STEMI, more accurately than other cardiac biomarkers, especially within the first 2 h after symptom onset. The peak plasma S100A12 level was a strong predictor of 1-year prognosis after STEMI.

Abstract Background The usefulness of the CHA2DS2-VASC risk score (CVRS) in predicting the occurrence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) among patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear. Method A total of 239 patients with CTO who underwent PCI were included in this study. They were divided into 3 groups according to the CVRS: low-risk group (1 point, n = 64), intermediate-risk group (2 points, n = 135), and high-risk group (≥3 points, n = 40). Baseline serum creatinine was determined upon admission before the procedure. The serum creatinine level was monitored for 72 h post-procedure to determine the occurrence of CIN. Results The total incidence of CIN in patients with CTO who underwent PCI was 16.3%. The average CVRS in the CIN group was significantly higher than that in the non-CIN group (3.1 ± 1.2 VS 2.1 ± 1.1, P

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) continue to emerge and re-emerge in several regions of the world, highlighting the need for novel and effective control strategies. The development of effective strategies requires a better understanding of TBDs ecology, and given the complexity of these systems, interdisciplinary approaches are required. In recent years, the microbiome of vectors has received much attention, mainly because associations between native microbes and pathogens may provide a new promising path towards the disruption of pathogen transmission. However, we still do not fully understand how host genetics and environmental factors interact to shape the microbiome of organisms, or how pathogenic microorganisms affect the microbiome and vice versa. The integration of different lines of evidence may be the key to improve our understanding of TBDs ecology. In that context, we generated microbiome and pathogen presence data for Dermacentor variabilis, and integrated those data sets with population genetic data, and metadata for the same individual tick specimens. Clustering and multivariate statistical methods were used to combine, analyze, and visualize data sets. Interpretation of the results is challenging, likely due to the low levels of genetic diversity and the high abundance of a few taxa in the microbiome. Francisella was dominant in almost all ticks, regardless of geography or sex. Nevertheless, our results showed that, overall, ticks from different geographic regions differ in their microbiome composition. Additionally, DNA of Rickettsia rhipicephali, R. montanensis, R. bellii, and Anaplasma spp., was detected in D. variabilis specimens. This is the first study that successfully generated microbiome, population genetics, and pathogen presence data from the same individual ticks, and that attempted to combine the different lines of evidence. The approaches and pre-processing steps used can be applied to a variety of taxa, and help better understand ecological processes in biological systems.

Objective. To explore the feasibility and safety of the active retrograde backup (ARB) for treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO) during retrograde percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background. Guiding support plays an important role in guidewire and microcatheter coronary channel (CC) tracking in retrograde PCI therapy for patients with CTO. However, the feasibility and safety of retrograde active use of a mother-and-child catheter are still unclear. Patients and Methods. A total of 271 consecutive patients with CTO who underwent retrograde PCI between January 2015 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data of two groups were compared to evaluate the feasibility and safety of ARB. Results. Of the 271 patients, 69.0% (187/271) underwent therapy through the septal branch, 31.0% (84/271) through the epicardial collateral channel, and 47.6% (129/271) through active retrograde extra backup with a mother-and-child catheter to facilitate retrograde microcatheter collateral CC tracking. The time of wire CC tracking was shorter in the ARB group than that in the non-ARB group (25.4 ± 8.5 vs 26.4 ± 9.7, p=0.348), but there was no significant difference. The duration of the retrograde microcatheter tracking (10.2 ± 3.8 vs 15.5 ± 6.8, p=0.012) and the retrograde approach (62.8 ± 20.3 vs 70.4 ± 24.3, p=0.026) in the ARB group was significantly shorter than that in the non-ARB group. The radiation dose (223.6 ± 112.7 vs. 295.2 ± 129.3, p=0.028), fluoroscopy time (50.6 ± 21.3 vs 62.3 ± 32.1, p=0.030), and contrast volume (301.8 ± 146.7 vs 352.2 ± 179.5, p=0.032) in the ARB group were significantly lower than that in the non-ARB group. There were no life-threatening procedural complications in either group. Complications unrelated to ARB included two cases of donor-vessel dissection, one case of CC perforation, and two cases of target-vessel perforation. There was no statistically significant difference in major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events between the groups during hospitalization p>0.05. Conclusion. ARB is feasible, safe, and conducive to guidewire and microcatheter CC tracking in the recanalization of coronary CTO. It improves procedural efficiency and is worthy of further promotion.

BACKGROUND: Effective analgesia is essential for the postoperative care of orthopedic patients.

Functional connectivity between brain regions during swallowing tasks is still not well understood. Understanding these complex interactions is of great interest from both a scientific and a clinical perspective. In this study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was utilized to study brain functional networks during voluntary saliva swallowing in twenty-two adult healthy subjects (all females, [Formula: see text] years of age). To construct these functional connections, we computed mean partial correlation matrices over ninety brain regions for each participant. Two regions were determined to be functionally connected if their correlation was above a certain threshold. These correlation matrices were then analyzed using graph-theoretical approaches. In particular, we considered several network measures for the whole brain and for swallowing-related brain regions. The results have shown that significant pairwise functional connections were, mostly, either local and intra-hemispheric or symmetrically inter-hemispheric. Furthermore, we showed that all human brain functional network, although varying in some degree, had typical small-world properties as compared to regular networks and random networks. These properties allow information transfer within the network at a relatively high efficiency. Swallowing-related brain regions also had higher values for some of the network measures in comparison to when these measures were calculated for the whole brain. The current results warrant further investigation of graph-theoretical approaches as a potential tool for understanding the neural basis of dysphagia.

Heritable symbionts are common among animals in nature, but the molecular mechanisms underpinning symbiont invasions of host populations have been elusive. In this study, we demonstrate the spread of Rickettsia in an invasive agricultural pest, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Mediterranean (MED), across northeastern China from 2018 to 2023. Here, we show that the beneficial symbiont Rickettsia spreads by manipulating host hormone signals. Our analyses suggest that Rickettsia have been horizontally acquired by B. tabaci MED from another invasive whitefly B. tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 during periods of coexistence. Rickettsia is transmitted maternally and horizontally from female B. tabaci MED individuals. Rickettsia infection enhances fecundity and results in female bias among whiteflies. Our findings reveal that Rickettsia infection stimulates juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis, in turn enhancing fecundity, copulation events, and the female ratio of the offspring. Consequently, Rickettsia infection results in increased whitefly fecundity and female bias by modulating the JH pathway. More female progeny facilitates the transmission of Rickettsia. This study illustrates that the spread of Rickettsia among invasive whiteflies in northeastern China is propelled by host hormone regulation. Such symbiont invasions lead to rapid physiological and molecular evolution in the host, influencing the biology and ecology of an invasive species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a highly urbanized bay area bustling with socio-economic activities, Shenzhen Bay is a pivotal stopover and wintering habitat for migratory birds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. The Futian Mangrove National Important Wetland, located in the northeast of Shenzhen bay, is a part of the Guangdong Neilingding--Futian National Nature Reserve. As the smallest national nature reserve in China, the wintering habitat of migratory birds has been significantly impacted by the compacted surrounding built-up environment. It has become an urgent need for refined high-quality ecological restoration for the habitats. This project leveraged Nature-based Solutions to develop a refined model for the ecological restoration of coastal wetland waterbird habitats in compact urban areas. By analyzing waterbird behaviors and habitat requirements, this model outlined six strategies: water surface expansion, water level control, hydrodynamic conditions improvement, shoal transformation, adaptive vegetation management, and disturbance control. To effectively guide the restoration implementation, high-, medium-, and low-adaptive approaches were proposed accordingly. After restoration in 2022, notable increases in target species, such as Platalea minor, were observed. The variety of waterbirds of the reserve in 2022 increased by 33% compared with 2021, while increased by 50.9% compared with 2016, significantly enhancing ecosystem services of the coastal area. As urban renewal in China is shifting towards spatial redevelopment, this model offers valuable insights for ecological restoration aiming at coastal wetland waterbird conservation across the country, and substantially supports establishing the "International Mangrove Center" in Shenzhen.
