Objective To compare the clinical characteristics,and outcomes of patients with heart failure with different left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF).Methods A total of 1 182 hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) were enrolled and retrospectively studied in the present study.The patients were stratified by LVEF as reduced (HFrEF,LVEF < 40%,n =313),mid-range (HFmrEF,40% ≤ LVEF <50%,n =287) and preserved (HFpEF,LVEF≥50%,n =582) ejection fraction groups.Among the 1 182 cases,941 of them (81.3%,84.9%,and 84.0% inHFrEF,HFmrEF and HFpEF groups,respectively) were followed up for an median duration of 27.3 months.Results (1) Among the study patients,26.5% were in HFrEF,24.3% in HFmrEF,and 49.2% in HFpEF groups.(2) Ischemic heart disease with HFmrEF was more frequent than that in patients with HFrEF.The average age,percentage of female subjects,systolic blood pressure,uric acid,N terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP),hemoglobin,and the incidence of hypertensive heart disease,anemia,atrial fibrillation in patients with HFmrEF were higher than those in patients with HFrEF,but lower than those in patients with HFpEF (all P <0.01).(3) The all-cause cumulative mortality was 10.8% at 1 year,20.6% at 2 years and 35.9% at 5 years.No difference was observed in the all-cause cumulative mortality at 1 year,2 years,5 years among the three groups (all P > 0.05).Conclusions The HFmrEF patients,as a new and distinct group,were with many intermediate characteristics compared with HFrEF and HFpEF subjects.However,the all-cause mortality was not significantly differeut among HF patients with different LVEF.

Objective: To explore the relationship between serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and calciifc aortic valve disease (CAVD) in relevant patients.
Methods: A total of 394 patients were enrolled in our study. Based on echocardiography presentation, the patients were divided into 2 groups: CAVD group,n=169 and Non-CAVD group,n=225. Serum levels of IgE were examined by chemiluminescence method. The IgE levels were compared between 2 groups and the relationship between serum IgE level and CAVD was analyzed.
Results: Serum levels of IgE in CAVD group was significantly higher than Non-CAVD group 113.30 IU/ml vs 63.76 IU/ml (P<0.05); multivariate logistic regression analysis conifrmed above difference (P<0.05) and it also indicated that the alteration of surum IgE level is obviously related to CAVD occurrence.
Conclusion: Serum IgE level is obviously increased in CAVD patients. IgE is an independent biochemical indicator of CAVD, it may play the important role in CAVD pathogenesis.

The presence of high-level talents plays a crucial role in ensuring the successful establishment of national regional medical centers.It presents the high-level talent management experience of Henan Children's Hospital,aiming to facilitate the coordinated development of pediatrics in Central China.To address the practical challenges and difficulties encountered in high-level talent management within hospitals,lean talent management is achieved by standardizing the management structure,clarifying management objectives,refining the management mechanism,establishing a performance appraisal incentive system,and implementing an integrated'induction and utilization'management approach.These measures effectively facilitate the development of national children's regional medical centers.
