The China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (CACMS) designed and applied the Traditional Chi-nese Medicine (TCM) Medical Treatment and Clinical Scientific Research Information Sharing System based on Hepatitis B-associated Liver Failure (Gan-Wen ) . The network and hardware environment were built . And the electronic medical record system which fits for TCM treatment and research was also established. The system is interfaced to various clinic information systems. Standard TCM terminology database and medical record templates were built. The TCM clinical multidimensional data warehouse was constructed to achieve data mining and im-prove TCM research ability and efficiency .

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of domestic faropenem in the treatment of acute bacterial infections. Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double blind and double simulation clinical study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of faropenem and cefaclor in the treatment of acute bacterial infection. Patients in trial group(n = 122) were given faropenem 250 mg,and in control group (n = 118) were given cefaclor 200 mg,3 times daily for 7 to 10 days.Results: The clinical cure rates were 33.61% and 27.12% in trail and control groups respectively and the clinical effective rates were 87.70% and 83.05% respectively. There was no significant difference in terms of clinical effectiveness between the two groups(P > 0.05). The adverse reaction rates were 7.32% in trial group and 3.36% in control group(P > 0.05). The adverse reaction of the trial group was mainly exaltation of aminotransferase, which did not affect the therapy. No severe adverse reaction was found.Conclusion: Domestic faropenem is effective and safe for the treatment of bacterial respiratory tract and urinary tract infections.

Objective:This study aimed to achieve the early diagnosis and active treatment of adult hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) and investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of this syndrome. Methods:A single-center retrospective analysis was performed to analyze clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and survival data. Results:In 58 patients, the most common clinical manifestations were fever (100%) and splenomegaly (89.7%). The most common laboratory parameters were serum ferritin 500 g/L (100%) and peripheral cytopenia in two or more lineages (96.6%). platelet count, fibrinogen, and lactate dehydrogenase in the death group were significantly lower than in the survival group (P=0.000, 0.001, and 0.000). Survival analysis results showed that infections in the rheu-matological group exhibited good prognosis [the overall survival (OS) time was not reached in 190 d]. Patients with unexplained causes had moderate prognosis (OS time was 60 d);tumor-associated HPS patients had poor prognosis (the OS time was only 30 d). Univariate analysis results showed that patients with Fbg<1.5 g/L, PLT<40×109/L, and LDH≥2000 U/L also exhibited poor prognosis (P=0.000). Multivariate analysis results showed that PLT<40 × 109/L was an independent adverse factor (HR=6.472, 95%CI:1.526-26.065, P=0.011). Conclusion:HPS exhibits complex clinical manifestations and varied etiology. Patients with infection and rheumatism-related HPS had good prognosiss compared with those manifesting tumor-associated HPS. Fbg<1.5 g/L, PLT<40×109/L, and LDH≥2 000 U/L were the univariate factors that affected the survival time of patients. PLT<40×109/L is an independent adverse factor. These patients need systemic treatments as early as possible.

Objective:Imatinib is extensively used as a first-line therapeutic agent for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at the chronic phase (CP). Although CML patients undergoing imatinib treatment are enrolled mainly in the Glivec International Patient Assistance Program (GIPAP) in China since 2003, limited data have been reported on the long-term outcome of these patients. This study aims to compare the treatment response and prognosis of CML-CP patients who received different treatments from January 2003 to December 2013 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University. Methods:A total of 295 patients were enrolled, includ-ing 185, 30, 50, and 30 patients for imatinib, interferon-alpha (IFN-α) plus Ara-C, hydroxycarbamide (HU), or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) treatments, respectively. Results:Patients in imatinib and Allo-HSCT groups achieved excellent complete hematologic remission (CHR) (i.e., 96.7%vs. 96.7%), complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) (i.e., 89.7%vs. 93.3%), and com-plete molecular remission (CMoR) (i.e., 49.7%vs. 83.3%, P=0.001). However, significantly low rates of CHR, CCyR, McyR, and CMoR were observed in IFN-αand HU groups. Moreover, patients from imatinib group showed longer overall survival (OS) time than patients from other groups (P<0.001), even patients in Allo-HSCT group (10-year OS, 89.0%vs. 67.0%, P<0.001) because of high risk of Allo-HSCT-related complication. Multivariate analysis showed that receiving imatinib treatment (HR=5.267, 95%CI:1.054-1.940, P=0.022) and achieving CCyR (HR=9.541, 95%CI:1.692-10.513, P=0.002) were independent predictors for OS. Conclusion:Imatinib treatment may be an optimal first-line choice for Chinese patients with CML-CP who have not received any previous treatments.

Objective To establish the methodology of combining BOLD and 1H-MRS for investigating correlation between the deactivation in medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentration by acupuncture at LI4 (Point Hegu),and to optimize the experimental technique and procedure.Methods Twenty healthy adult volunteers were enrolled.During fMRI-BOLD scanning,each subject received acupuncture at right LI4 (Point Hegu).MRS scanning was based on MEGA-PRESS sequence,and ROIs were located at bilateral MPFC.The task BOLD fMRI was block design,including 3 stimulations (30 s) with 2 intervals (2 min).Then MRS scanning was performed before and after BOLD.The quantitative values of the BOLD positive and negative activations (Pm) and GABA concentrations were calculated.Results All 20 subjects completed BOLD fMRI scanning,and met the postprocessing requirements.MRS images of 9 subjects with good image quality were included in analysis.Among all 20 subjects,positive activation (Pm=1.17± 0.16) was observed in 9,while negative activation (Pm =-1.31 ± 0.17) was observed in 11 subjects.The GABA average values before and after the acupuncture were (19.93 ±1.04) nmol/L and (20.04±0.81)nmol/L,respectively,and the average amplitude between post-and pre-acupuncture was (0.11 ± 1.60)nmol/L.Conclusion The success rate of this method for quantitative study of brain function established multimodal-functional (BOLD-fMRI and MRS) was acceptable,and the multimodal brain function changes as well as the quantitative values were observed in the brain region during acupuncture.Combined BOLD and MRS quantitative method is feasible for testing acupuncture response in the brain.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of imatinib on growth impairment in children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP) in the chronic phase.Methods:From July 2018 to July 2019, questionnaires were distributed to CML children aged <18 years at the time of diagnosis who were receiving imatinib for at least 3 months or to their parents in China. The height-for-age standard deviation score (HtSDS) and the difference of standard deviation integral (△HtSDS) were used to explore the change in height with imatinib therapy.Results:The data of 238 respondents were included; 138 (58.0% ) respondents were men. The median age at the first diagnosis of CML was 11.0 years (range, 1.4-17.9 years) , and 93 (39.0% ) respondents were at the prepuberty stage. At the time of completing the questionnaires, the median age was 15.0 years (range, 2.0-34.0 years) . The median duration of imatinib therapy was 28 months (range, 3-213 months) . Among all the respondents, the mean HtSDS when completing the questionnaires (-0.063±1.361) was significantly lower than that at the time of starting imatinib treatment (0.391±1.244) ( P<0.001) . Total 71.0% respondents showed growth impairment that was more common in those starting imatinib therapy at prepubertal age than in those starting at pubertal age. Multivariate analysis showed that younger at the start of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) and longer duration of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) were significantly associated with severe growth impairment on imatinib therapy. Conclusions:Imatinib induced growth impairment in children with CML-CP. Younger the age of initiation and longer the duration of imatinib therapy, more obvious the effect of imatinib on growth impairment.
