Objective To summarize the clinical efficacy of modified Morrow surgery in the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy treated with modified Morrow surgery at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from 2020 to 2023. Results A total of 318 patients were enrolled, including 156 males and 162 females, with an average age of (55.6±13.1) years. Preoperative echocardiography showed a mean interventricular septal thickness of (18.1±3.8) mm, peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference of (86.4±24.9) mm Hg. The surgery time was (162.3±51.0) min, extracorporeal circulation time was (80.9±31.0) min, and aortic occlusion time was (44.8±20.8) min. After the surgery, transesophageal echocardiography showed that the interventricular septal thickness was (11.0±1.8) mm and left ventricular outflow tract peak pressure difference was (9.4±5.1) mm Hg. The incidence rate of postoperative complete left bundle branch block was 45.3%, Ⅲ° atrioventricular block was 3.8%, and postoperative newly developed atrial fibrillation was 3.1%. The postoperative hospital stay was (6.6±4.9) days, and one perioperative death occurred, with a mortality rate of 0.3%. The follow-up time was (10.3±9.4) months, during which the transthoracic echocardiography revealed a ventricular septal thickness of (12.9±2.9) mm and a peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference of (13.9±10.0) mm Hg. Conclusion The modified Morrow procedure for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is safe and effective, with good results in the short and medium term.

With the progressive aging of the population and the evolving spectrum of aortic valve disease, bioprosthetic valve has gained widespread clinical adoption owing to their reduced requirement for lifelong anticoagulation and impact on patients’ postoperative quality of life. Consequently, the long-term durability of bioprosthetic valve has become a central focus in contemporary valvular research. The Avalus valve, representing a new generation stented bovine pericardial valve, incorporates optimized leaflet configuration, stent geometry, and anti-calcification treatment to achieve a balance between superior hemodynamic performance and structural durability. The recently reported 7-year outcomes of the PERIGON trial demonstrated excellent mid- and long-term outcomes, a remarkably low incidence of valve-related adverse events and sustained hemodynamic stability throughout follow-up. Importantly, no cases required reintervention for structural valve deterioration, underscoring the outstanding durability profile of the Avalus valve in surgical aortic valve replacement. This article reviews PERIGON trial clinical outcomes and discusses significance of the Avalus valve, as well as the future directions for bioprosthetic valve therapy in Chinese patients.

Objective:
To explore the longitudinal association between weight trajectories and physical fitness test composite scores among primary school students, so as to provide empirical evidence for school based weight management and physical health promotion.
Methods:
A total of 2 112 students from a primary school in Beijing who participated in physical fitness assessments annually from 2008 to 2023 were included and classified into different body weight trajectory groups based on body mass index (BMI) threshold: "normal/overweight-obese". Group based trajectory model was used to identify distinct weight trajectories. Generalized estimating equation and Cox regression were used to analyze the associations between weight trajectories and changes in physical fitness test scores, as well as event risks. Robustness checks were conducted.
Results:
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among primary school students was 26.50%. BMI showed a significant negative correlation with physical fitness composite scores ( r=-0.19, P <0.01). Four types of weight trajectories were identified: persistent normal group (64.5%, 1 362), persistent overweight- obese group (18.2%, 385), normal to overweight-obese group (14.0%, 296), and overweight-obese to normal group (3.3%, 69). Compared to the persistent normal group, both the normal to overweight-obese and persistent overweight-obese groups showed significantly higher risks of failing the physical fitness test ( HR =4.23, 4.60), and the speed of achieving excellent was slower ( HR = 0.52, 0.40) (all P <0.05). Robustness tests confirmed the stability of the findings.
Conclusions
Body weight trajectories have a long term impact on physical fitness performance among primary school students. Students with persistent or progressive overweight-obese trajectories have limited score improvement and a higher risk of failure; primary school students with persistent or progressive overweight and obesity should be a key focus.

OBJECTIVE To provide standardized guidance for the rational clinical use of antibody-based drugs for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, and to enhance the evidence-based system of guidelines and consensus in this field. METHODS The consensus expert team consisted of 71 multidisciplinary experts from 28 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities directly under the Central Government. Evidence was systematically retrieved through multiple databases, drug package inserts, and official websites of international and national health administrative authorities, drug regulatory agencies, healthcare security departments, and related industry associations, up to April 30, 2025. Evidence was graded according to the 2014 version of JBI pre-grading system for evidence from intervention studies. Based on full consideration of the current best evidence and multidisciplinary expert experience, the expert consensus recommendations were formulated using a modified Delphi method. RESULTS The Evidence-based expert consensus on the clinical application and pharmaceutical management of antibody-based drugs for the treatment of myasthenia gravis standardized the key points of whole-process pharmaceutical management for four antibody-based drugs approved for marketing in the mainland of China for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (efgartigimod alfa, efgartigimod alfa/hyaluronidase, eculizumab, and rozanolixizumab). It formulated 37 expert consensus recommendations covering nine pharmaceutical management aspects: drug suitability selection, medication in special populations, administration methods, drug storage, therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenetic testing, immunization management, drug interactions, pharmaceutical care, and off-label drug use. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current best evidence and multidisciplinary expert experience, this consensus establishes a whole-process management framework for antibody-based drugs for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, from clinical application to pharmaceutical management. It provides a scientific basis for the rational and precise use of these drugs in clinical practice, effectively promotes the enhancement of pharmaceutical management efficiency, and helps improve the overall therapeutic benefits for patients.

Objectives:This study aimed to investigate the impact of quantitative flow ratio(QFR)-guided revascularization on outcome of elderly patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)undergoing valve surgery.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 750 consecutive patients with angiographically confirmed CAD(≥50%stenosis)who underwent valve surgery at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University,between January 2016 and December 2021.According to the patients'ages,they were divided into the younger group(age<70 years old,n=532)and the elderly group(age≥70 years old,n=218).Revascularization strategies were evaluated using anatomical(angiography-based)and functional(QFR-based)criteria.Anatomical complete revascularization(CR)was defined as bypass grafting for all lesions with≥70%diameter stenosis in major coronary arteries or≥50%stenosis in the left main coronary artery.Functional CR referred bypass grafting for all lesions with QFR≤0.80.Incomplete revascularization(ICR)was defined as failure to meet CR criteria.According to the anatomical and functional definitions,the younger group and the elderly group were further divided into the incomplete revascularization subgroup and the complete revascularization subgroup respectively.Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE),including death,myocardial infarction,repeat revascularization,and stroke,were assessed as the composite endpoint.Results:Over a follow-up of(3.7±1.8)years,the overall MACE rate was 13.3%.The younger group exhibited significantly lower MACE rates than the elderly group(10.7%vs.19.7%,P=0.001).In the younger group,anatomical ICR did not increase MACE risk(HR=1.46,95%CI:0.81-2.62,P=0.164),whereas functional ICR significantly increased MACE risk(HR=2.27,95%CI:1.24-4.15,P=0.001).In the elderly group,neither anatomical ICR(HR=1.22,95%CI:0.62-2.41,P=0.540)nor functional ICR(HR=1.52,95%CI:0.78-2.96,P=0.172)was associated with increased MACE risk.Conclusions:In patients undergoing valve surgery with CAD,functional ICR correlated with adverse outcomes in the younger group,whereas neither anatomical nor functional ICR significantly affected prognosis in elderly patients.These findings suggest that a moderately conservative revascularization strategy may be more appropriate for elderly populations.

Results:Except for the sham operation group, MAP of all treatment groups at T 1 was significantly lower than that at T 0 (all P<0.05). MAP of all treatment groups at T 2-T 6 was significantly higher than that at T 1 (all P<0.05). T 1 MAP of all treatment groups was significantly lower than that of the sham operation group (all P<0.05). MAP at T 2-T 6 in the norepinephrine group and the 654-1+ norepinephrine group was higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05), and MAP at T 2-T 4 in the 654-1 group was significantly lower than that in the 654-1+ norepinephrine group (all P<0.05). LAC of all treatment groups at T 1-T 3 was significantly higher than that at T 0 (all P<0.05) except the sham operation group. LAC in the group 654-1 at T 4 to T 6 was significantly lower than that at T 1 (all P<0.05). LAC in the group 654-1 at T 4-T 6 was significantly lower than that in the norepinephrine group and the control group (all P<0.05). The CI of norepinephrine group at T 2, T 5 and T 6 was lower than that at T 0 (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CI between T 2 and T 6 compared with T 1 (all P>0.05). CI of the 654-1+ norepinephrine group at T 4 was significantly lower than that of T 0 ( P<0.05); The CI of the 654-1 group at T 2 was significantly higher than that of T 1 ( P<0.05). CI at T 1 in the 654-1+ norepinephrine group was significantly lower than that in the sham operation group (all P<0.05). The GEDI at T 1 to T 5 in the 654-1 group was significantly lower than that at T 0 in the 6541+ norepinephrine group (all P<0.05), and the GEDI at T 1 to T 2 was significantly lower than that at T 0 in the 6541+ norepinephrine group (all P<0.05), while the GEDI at T 2 and T 4 was higher than that at T 1 (all P<0.05). Conclusions:MAP decreased significantly in septic shock, LAC increased significantly in the early stage of shock. 654-1 can improve MAP in early stage of septic shock, and significantly reduce LAC level in early stage of septic shock.

Objective:To evaluate the occurrence of pancreaticobiliary reflux and its clinical and imaging characteristics in patients after common bile duct stone surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 123 patients who underwent bile amylase measurement after common bile duct stone extraction was conducted to analyze the occurrence of pancreaticobiliary reflux and its correlation with clinicoradiological data.Results:Among the 123 patients, 72 patients had pancreaticobiliary reflux (58.5%), of which 10 were in a state of high biliary amylase levels. Among the 32 patients who underwent simultaneous measurement of C-tube cephalic (liver side) and caudal (duodenal papilla side) amylase, the cephalic side amylase was lower than the caudal side amylase with a significant statistical difference ( P<0.001). Compared with patients without pancreaticobiliary reflux, patients in the status of pancreaticobiliary reflux and high biliary amylase levels were no statistically significant difference in age, gender, emergency visit, papillary diverticulum, preoperative biliary pancreatitis, preoperative common bile duct diameter, C-tube cholangiography common bile duct diameter, and imaging common bile duct diameter>10mm. Among the 123 patients in this group, 5 cases showed pancreaticobiliary maljunction on C-tube cholangiography, of which only 1 case had such manifestation by preoperative MRCP. There was no statistically significant difference in amylase levels between patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction and patients with occult pancreaticobiliary reflux ( P=0.698). Conclusions:Pancreatic bile reflux is common among patients after choledocholithotomy, with a lack of preoperative clinical imaging predictive method. Bile amylase measurement is the key to diagnosis.
