Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is still a global public health problem, resulting in the high risk of decompensated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.At present, there are no single available medications that can induce both potent HBV DNA suppression, and high rates of HBeAg and HBsAg clearance.Therefore, there is great interest in developing combination therapies for patients with chronic HBV infection, which can achieve sustained viral suppression and HBsAg negative inversion after a finite course of treatment leading to clinical cure.This article reviews the current status and advances of combination therapy for CHB.

The electroencephalography (EEG) has a wide range of content, complex graphics and abstract theory. Meanwhile, there are differences in professional level, learning ability and subjective initia-tive among refresher doctors. In order to improve the quality of teaching, and to better serve the refresher doctors, the following strategies have been applied in the teaching process. We not only make the training target according to the actual condition of every refresher doctors, but also make them take a correct atti-tude towards study and follow the teaching arrangement. Besides, we not only orient at the operational skills training, including electrode installation, EEG evoked test, Point-of-Care test to eliminate the interference, but also promote the refresher doctors to seek the law of the diagram in the actual interpretation process with longitudinal development view and horizontal comparison perspective. Furthermore, we not only stan-dardize their report, but also broaden their view.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of intracoronary versus intravenous bolus tirofiban on myocardial perfusion and major cardiovascular events (MACE) in elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and explore the optimal route of tirofiban application. Methods From July 2009 to July 2010, 120 NSTE-ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI ) were consecutively enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups: intracoronary (60 cases) versus intravenous (60 cases) bolus tirofiban. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow, TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) and MACE 30 days after PCI were observed. Results The incidence of TIMI flow and TMPG 3 grade in intracoronary group were higher than in intravenous group [53(88.3%) vs. 38(63.3%); 53(88.3%) vs. 40(66.7%), respectively, both P＜0.05]. However, MACE incidence and bleeding complications during hospital 30 days after PCI had no significant difference between the two groups [1 (1.7%) vs. 0; 3(5.0%) vs. 5(8.3%)], which were not statistically significant (P＞0.05). Conclusions Intracoronary bolus tirofiban before PCI more effectively increases coronary blood flow and myocardium blush than intravenous route in elderly NSTE-ACS patients.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect and safety of haemostatic apozem combined with haemostatic mixture on hemophilia hemorrhage.

METHODSFive hundred hemophilia patients were randomly recruited from Shaanxi Yida Hematology Institute from February 2005 to July 2010. Under the condition of using no blood products such as platelet cofactors VIII and IX, oral administration of haemostatic apozem combined with intravenous dripping of haemostatic mixture were given to 332 hemorrhagic patients and 451 patients in need of surgery for hemorrhagic prevention. The treatment was lasted for three successive weeks. The hemostatic time, hemorrhage absorption (recovery) time, and their safety were observed.

RESULTSThe hemostatic time for open bleeding and closed bleeding was (0.85 +/- 0.83) h and (2.69 +/- 0.65) h respectively. The average hemostatic time was (2.00 +/- 0.69) h. The recovery time for different portions was as follows respectively: intra-cranial hemorrhage (14.13 +/- 6.01) days; muscular hemorrhage (18.18 +/- 7.34) days; hematuria (8.25 +/- 4.69) days; arthrorrhagia(3.27 +/- 1.31) days; ecchymoma (7.16 +/- 2.32) days; bleeding of oral and nasal cavities (4.26 +/- 1.35) days; intramedullary hemorrhage (19.15 +/- 1.36) days; hematoma ulceration (50.01 +/- 20.91) days. The hemorrhage recovery ratio was 99.10% (329/332). The success rate of preventing from surgery hemorrhage was 100% (451/451). No severe adverse reaction occurred during the therapeutic course.

CONCLUSIONSHaemostatic apozem combined with haemostatic mixture was effective and fast in preventing and treating hemophilia hemorrhage, with no complications or adverse reactions. It could be taken as the first choice for prevention and treatment of hemophilia hemorrhage.

Hyperthermia has been a research hot spot since it was approved by FDA as one of the 5 major therapeutic modalities for tumor since 1989. Pre-clinicaland clinical researches have confirmed the prominent radiosensitizing effect of hyperthermia. In this article, the research progress on hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy was summarized based upon clinical evidence. The challenges and issues during the procedure of hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy were analyzed from the perspectives of treatment temperature, frequency and interval time of hyperthermia, interval time and time sequence between hyperthermia and radiation therapy, etc. Besides, the application progress and prospect of hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy were reviewed, aiming to provide clinical evidence for the combination of hyperthermia and radiation therapy.

Objective:To explore the clinical effectiveness of hemostatic bandage on wound safety and comfort after transradial coronary angiography and/or interventional therapy.Methods:This was a experimental study. A total of 400 consecutive patients who underwent transradial coronary angiography and/or interventional therapy in the Department of Cardiology, Peking University Third Hospital from July to October 2022 were enrolled and randomly divided into the hemostatic bandage group and the hemostatic balloon compressor group by the envelope method with 200 cases in each group. The hemostatic bandage group and the hemostatic balloon compressor group were treated with hemostatic bandage and hemostatic balloon compressor as transradial artery hemostatic device, respectively, to observe and compare postoperative hemostatic effect, hemostat use time, complication rate, postoperative pain, the degree of numbness in the finger on the operated side and wristband comfort between the two groups.Results:The hemostatic success rate was 98.5% (197/200) and 99.0% (198/200) in the hemostatic bandage and the hemostatic balloon compressor group, respectively, with no statistical difference ( χ2=0.20, P>0.05). The hemostat use time in the hemostatic bandage group and the hemostatic balloon compressor group was (6.23 ± 0.47) h and (17.01 ± 7.74) h, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-19.66, P<0.01). The incidence of complications in the hemostatic bandage group and the hemostatic balloon compressor group was 13.5%(27/200) and 29.5%(59/200), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=8.01, P<0.05). Among the complications, swelling occurred in 21 individuals of the hemostatic bandage group and 54 individuals of the hemostatic balloon compressor group with statistically significant differences ( U=16 689.50, P<0.01). Besides, the hemostatic bandage group was significantly better than the hemostatic balloon compressor group with statistically significant differences in wound pain at immediate postoperative ( U=13 669.50, P<0.01), in finger numbness at immediate postoperative and 1-hour postoperative (immediate postoperative: U=17 838.00, P<0.05; 1-hour postoperative: U=13 342.50, P<0.01), in comfort at immediate postoperative, 4-hours, 8-hours and 12-hour postoperative(immediate postoperative: U=9 966.50, P<0.01; 4-hour postoperative: U=12 851, P<0.01; 8-hour postoperative: U=14 900, P<0.01; 12-hour postoperative: U=15 920, P<0.01). Conclusions:The hemostatic bandage shows better hemostatic effect, shorter compression time, lower complication rate, less wound pain, less numbness of the finger on the operation side, and higher comfort of the wrist band compared to hemostatic balloon compressor after transradial coronary angiography and/or interventional therapy, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Trace amines(TAs)are metabolically related to catecholamine and associated with cancer and neuro-logical disorders.Comprehensive measurement of TAs is essential for understanding pathological pro-cesses and providing proper drug intervention.However,the trace amounts and chemical instability of TAs challenge quantification.Here,diisopropyl phosphite coupled with chip two-dimensional(2D)liquid chromatography tandem triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry(LC-QQQ/MS)was developed to simul-taneously determine TAs and associated metabolites.The results showed that the sensitivities of TAs increased up to 5520 times compared with those using nonderivatized LC-QQQ/MS.This sensitive method was utilized to investigate their alterations in hepatoma cells after treatment with sorafenib.The significantly altered TAs and associated metabolites suggested that phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolic pathways were related to sorafenib treatment in Hep3B cells.This sensitive method has great potential to elucidate the mechanism and diagnose diseases considering that an increasing number of physiological functions of TAs have been discovered in recent decades.

Objective To compare the association of the incidence and mortality of leukemia and the human development index(HDI)in different countries or regions in 2022,and the trend of leukemia incidence and mortality with age in countries with different HDI levels.Methods GLOBOCAN 2022 data related to leukemia incidence and mortality in different countries or regions worldwide and HDI were evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis and Kruskal-Wallis test.The incidence and mortality rates of each age and the age change trend were analyzed using the Joinpoint Regression model.Results Age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR),age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR),and mortality to incidence ratio(M/I)were statistically significantly different among the four groups of HDI countries(P<0.001).HDI was positively correlated with ASIR and ASMR and negatively correlated with M/I.Among all ages,ASIR and ASMR of leukemia of the four groups had similar trends with age,and the risk of leukemia was high at ages less than 15 and more than 40.The incidence of leukemia in all age groups in China differed from those in other countries with high HDI,while the mortality rate was lower than those in other countries with high HDI.Conclusion Countries or regions with higher HDI have higher ASIR and ASMR and lower M/I because of their better medical condition.

Objective To investigate the injury mechanisms of three-year-old child occupants by reconstructing a real traffic accident.Methods A traffic accident case from the CIREN database was reconstructed using a vehicle finite element model and a three-year-old child occupant injury bionic model(TUST IBMs 3YO-O).The Δv,mass of the vehicle,and deformation energy were comprehensively analyzed to calculate the collision velocity of the vehicle.This accident was simulated to present injuries to a child occupant,and the injury mechanisms were analyzed in depth.Results The TUST IBMs 3YO-O fully reconstructed the injuries of the child occupant in this case.The kinematic and biomechanical responses of the children's heads differed.The biomechanical response of the internal tissues and organs in the chest cavity showed no injury,however,the result ant chest acceleration at 3 ms reached 54 g,which exceeded the threshold.Conclusions In the future,it will be necessary to adopt biomechanical parameters for occupant safety evaluations.The application of human biomechanical models with high biofidelity to reconstruct occupant injuries in traffic accidents can not only be used to observe the kinematic responses of the occupant in the accident and analyze the injury mechanisms in depth,but also to provide references for virtual testing,as well as for the research and development of child occupant protection devices and the formulation of safety regulations.
