Objective This case report describes the treatment of a patient with J-wave syndrome who experienced two cardiac arrests and discusses the potential role of mild hypothermia in cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation.Methods A patient with J-wave syndrome was admitted to the department of emergency of Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University.During the treatment,mild hypothermia was adopted for brain protection.The patient suffered cardiac arrest again in the hospital.After continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)for 230 minutes under mild hypothermia,sinus rhythm was restored.By sharing the diagnostic approach and treatment process,valuable insights can be gained to improve patient outcomes in similar cases.Results A 17-year-old female patient was admitted to department of emergency of Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University on September 30,2021 due to sudden loss of consciousness for 30 minutes after running.She fainted 3 times in the past after excise and nervousness.CPR was performed immediately after the syncope,and an ambulance arrived at the scene 10 minutes later,and electrical defibrillation and tracheal intubation mechanical ventilation were conducted.When admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU),the patient continued to have tetanic convulsions.To manage these symptoms,the medical team administered sedation and anti-epileptic treatment while focusing on maintaining internal environment stability.Additionally,mild hypothermia treatment was initiated,controlling the patient's core body temperature at 34-36℃.With these interventions,the tetanic convulsions gradually subsided during the night.At 11:40 on October 1,the electrocardiogram(ECG)monitoring indicated ventricular fibrillation,and immediate rescue efforts such as CPR,electrical defibrillation,and blood pressure elevation were given.Due to recurrent ventricular fibrillation,the patient underwent repeated shock defibrillation and chest compressions with the CPR machine.Antiarrhythmic lidocaine was administered,and epinephrine and isoproterenol were administered to maintain the heart rate above 90 bpm.At around 15:30,the heart rate stabilized and blood pressure gradually improved.After successful resuscitation,mild hypothermia and other brain protection treatment were continued.On October 4,the mind was cleared,the muscle strength was restored to normal and the tracheal intubation was removed on October 6.Holter electrocardiogram examination indicated V1-V3 ST-segment elevation,combined with the patient's history of repeated syncope,previous electrocardiogram indicated early repolarization,considering the possibility of J-wave syndrome and Brugada syndrome,the patient was discharged after implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD)installation.Conclusions In this case,the patient was successfully resuscitated after two cardiac arrests.Among them,CPR after cardiac arrest in hospital was successfully performed for a long time under mild hypothermia without any neurological sequelae.The treatment experience provided a reference for clinical cardiopulmonary and brain resuscitation.

Objective:To explore the long-term effect of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of unresectable ampullary carcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of patients with ampullary carcinoma who received endoscopic radiofrequency ablation in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2012 to May 2019 were retrospectively collected, including basic information, frequency of radiofrequency ablation, the type of biliary stent, postoperative complications, and follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of patients after endoscopic radiofrequency ablation. Relationship between frequency of radiofrequency ablation, type of biliary stent and overall survival time was analyzed.Results:A total of 50 patients were enrolled, including 31 males and 19 females, aged 73.0±9.7 years. Twenty-five patients (50.0%) underwent 1 radiofrequency ablation treatment, while 25 patients (50.0%) underwent radiofrequency ablation treatments more than twice. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients (12.0%), all of which were mild symptoms. The average follow-up was 22.3 months, with a total of 39 (78.0%) deaths, 5 (10.0%) lost to follow-up, and 6 (12.0%) surviving. The median overall survival time was 16.9 (95% CI: 9.1-24.8) months, with cumulative survival rates of 62.0%, 38.5%, 27.0%, and 12.6% at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The median overall survival time of those treated with radiofrequency ablation ≥2 times showed a trend of prolongation compared to patients treated once, but the difference was not statistically significant [26.7 (95% CI: 9.7-43.7) months VS 12.6 (95% CI: 4.9-20.3) months, χ2=3.049, P=0.081]. Plastic stents were used in 32 patients (64.0%) and metal stents in 18 patients (36.0%). There was no significant difference in median overall survival time between patients using metal and plastic stents [17.1 (95% CI: 6.1-28.0) months VS 15.9 (95% CI: 6.9-24.9) months， χ2=0.029， P=0.865]. Conclusion:Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation is a safe treatment for unresectable ampullary carcinoma, and multiple consecutive treatments may increase the survival benefit.

Objective To explore the effects of self-management intervention on the self-management ability and health service utilization of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 84 COPD patients in stable condition with permission of being discharged in respiratory department of a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Wenzhou city,were selected as research objects from May to November 2014 by convenience sampling method,and were randomly divided into the intervention group (n=42) and the control group (n=42). Patients in the control group received routine care,while patients in the intervention group received self-management intervention and all patients were followed up. The self-management scale of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was used investigate the self-management status of patients three months,six months and 12 months after intervention. The times of emergency services and the times of re-hospitalization were also recorded.Results The self-management ability of patients at the third month,sixth month and 12th month after intervention in the intervention group was significantly improved compared with the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the aspect of health service utilization at the third month after intervention between two groups (P>0.05);the times of health service utilization in the intervention group at the sixth month and 12th month after intervention were less than the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Self-management intervention can improve the self-management ability of patients with COPD in stable period,and reduce the times of emergency visits and re-hospitalizations. It is an effective method for the management of chronic diseases.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic stent placement for patients with Bismuth type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:Data of 229 patients with unresectable Bismuth type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma who successfully underwent endoscopic stent placement at the Department of Endoscopy, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2002 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Outcomes included clinical success rate, complication incidence, stent patency period and overall survival time. The patency of stents and overall survival time of patients were estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. The independent predictors for stent patency and overall survival of patients were analyzed by a multivariate Cox proportional regression model.Results:The overall clinical success rate was 78.2% (179/229). The incidence of early cholangitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was 20.5% (47/229). The median stent patency and overall survival time were 5.7 (95% CI: 4.8-6.7) months and 5.1 (95% CI: 4.2-6.0) months, respectively. Further multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that metal stent ( P<0.001, HR=0.452, 95% CI: 0.307-0.666) and bilateral stents with bilateral angiography ( P=0.036, HR=0.644, 95% CI: 0.427-0.971) were independent predictors of stent patency; total bilirubin>200 μmol/L ( P=0.001, HR=1.627, 95% CI: 1.208-2.192), metal stent ( P=0.004, HR=0.636, 95% CI: 0.467-0.866) and antitumor therapy ( P<0.001, HR=0.439, 95% CI:0.308-0.626) were independent predictors of overall survival. Conclusion:There is high incidence of cholangitis in patients with unresectable Bismuth type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma treated with endoscopic stenting. Longer stent patency can be achieved with metal stent placement and bilateral drainage. In addition, metal stent for drainage and antitumor therapy can also help increase the survival benefit.

Objective: To compare the safety and immunogenicity of two different sequential schedules of inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine made from Sabin strain (sIPV) followed by typeⅠ+Ⅲ bivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV) in Drug Candy (DC) form or liquid dosage form). Methods: This randomized, blinded, single center, parallel-group controlled trial was done from September 2015 to June 2016 in Liuzhou, Guangxi province. Healthy infants aged ≥2 months were eligible for enrollment and divided into 1sIPV+2bOPV or 2sIPV+1bOPV sequential schedules. According to the bOPV dosage form each sequential schedules, the subjects again were divided into drug candy(DC) form or liquid dosage form group, being 1sIPV+bOPV (DC)/1sIPV+2bOPV(liquid)/2sIPV+1bOPV(DC)/2sIPV+1bOPV(liquid). According to 0, 28, 56 d immunization schedule, Each group were given 3 doses. We recorded adverse events during the clinical trial (399 participants who receive at least one dose). 28 days post-Dose 3, we receive a total of 350 blood samples (excluding the quitters or subjects against trial plan), using cell culture trace against polio virus neutralization test Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ neutralizing antibody (GMT), calculating the antibody positive rate.PolioⅠ,Ⅱand Ⅲ antibody titers were assessed by virus-neutralizing antibody assay and the seroconversion (4-fold increase in titer) from pre-Dose 1 to 28 days post-Dose 3 was calculated (total 350 samples) . Results: During the vaccination, the incidence of AEs in 1sIPV+2bOPV(DC), 1sIPV+2bOPV (liquid), 2sIPV+1bOPV(DC), 2sIPV+1bOPV (liquid) group were 79%, 76%, 80% and 74% (χ²=1.23, P=0.747) , respectively. The severe AEs in groups were 6%, 5%, 6% and 4% (χ²=0.57, P=0.903) , respectively, and none was considered to be vaccination related. 28 days after 3^rd vaccination, the seroconversion rates in 1sIPV+2bOPV (DC), 1sIPV+2bOPV (liquid), 2sIPV+1bOPV (DC), 2sIPV+1bOPV (liquid) group, were 99%, 100%, 99% and 99% (χ²=0.94, P=0.815) , respectively, for type Ⅰ poliovirus; and 47%, 57%, 80%, 79% (χ²=31.56, P<0.001) , respectively, for type Ⅱ; and were 100%, 99%, 100%, 99% (χ²=2.02, P=0.568) , respectively, for type Ⅲ. In each group, the GMT of antibody against poliovirus typeⅠ were 4 539.68, 6 243.43, 6 819.53 and 7 916.29 (F=25.87, P<0.001) , respectively; Type Ⅱ were 12.98, 10.54, 63.75 and 84.21 (F=8.68, P=0.034) , respectively; Type Ⅲ were 1 172.55, 1 416.03, 2 648.89 and 3 250.75 (F=14.50, P=0.002) , respectively. Conclusion On the same sequential schedules, there was no significant difference between the dosage forms, all of them showed good safety and immunogenicity. In the same dosage forms with different sequential schedules, the seroconversion rate was higher in 2 dose sIPV group than the 1 dose sIPV group, especially at the neutralizing antibody GMT level against polio type Ⅱ and Ⅲ after vaccination.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression level of SET gene in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and evaluate its significance.

METHODSThe expression level of SET gene in 141 de novo AML patients was determined by real time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR), and its relationship with the clinical features and outcomes of these patients were analyzed.

RESULTSSET gene transcript level was detected in 141 AML patients with the median expression level of 0.86(range 0.02-15.69). AML patients with higher SET gene expression had a higher level of white blood cell (WBC ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L) count than of lower SET gene expression ones (31.0% vs 11.4%, P=0.005). In the 136 patients who received treatment after diagnosis, higher SET gene expression group had lower complete remission rate (50.0%) than of lower expression cohort (73.5%) after two cycles of chemotherapy (P=0.005). Survival analysis showed that patients with higher SET gene expression had significantly shorter overall survival(OS) (10 months vs 22 months, P=0.001) and event-free survival (EFS) (2 months vs 14 months, P=0.005) than of lower SET gene expression ones. Multivariate COX regression analysis showed SET overexpression was an independent prognostic factor for OS. In the patients with the normal karyotype, higher SET expression group also had significantly shorter OS (12 months vs 35 months, P=0.010) and EFS (4 months vs 14 months, P=0.026) than of lower SET expression ones.

CONCLUSIONHigh expression of SET gene was associated with poor prognosis and might be a prognostic molecular marker of AML.

For wild natural medicine, unanticipated biodiversity as species or varieties with similar morphological characteristics and sympatric distribution may co-exist in a single batch of medical materials, which affects the efficacy and safety of clinical medication. DNA barcoding as an effective species identification tool is limited by its low sample throughput nature. In this study, combining DNA mini-barcode, DNA metabarcoding and species delimitation method, a novel biological sources consistency evaluation strategy was proposed, and high level of interspecific and intraspecific variations were observed and validated among 5376 Amynthas samples from 19 sampling points regarded as "Guang Dilong" and 25 batches of proprietary Chinese medicines. Besides Amynthas aspergillum as the authentic source, 8 other Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units (MOTUs) were elucidated. Significantly, even the subgroups within A. aspergillum revealed here differ significantly on chemical compositions and biological activity. Fortunately, this biodiversity could be controlled when the collection was limited to designated areas, as proved by 2796 "decoction pieces" samples. This batch biological identification method should be introduced as a novel concept regarding natural medicine quality control, and to offer guidelines for in-situ conservation and breeding bases construction of wild natural medicine.
