Standardizing the emergency assessment and management process for patients with implantable continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in emergency and intensive care settings is of great significance for reducing delays in diagnosis and treatment, lowering the mortality associated with LVAD-related emergencies, and improving overall prognosis and long-term survival. To this end, a multidisciplinary expert committee was convened to develop this consensus, integrating international evidence-based findings with clinical practice experience in China, with an emphasis on highlighting the characteristics of domestically manufactured devices. The aim is to establish an actionable standardized emergency management protocol to enhance clinical identification and response efficiency, reduce the risk of LVAD-related emergencies, and improve patient outcomes. Using a modified Delphi method, this consensus proposes a structured decision-making pathway that integrates an "ABC" rapid assessment with parallel device troubleshooting, prioritizing the use of point-of-care echocardiography for hemodynamic evaluation and complication assessment. Key emergency scenarios covered include low-flow alarms, pump thrombosis, right heart dysfunction, bleeding and anticoagulation imbalance, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest. This consensus applies to implantable continuous-flow LVADs commonly used in China, including domestically manufactured devices such as Corheart 6, CH-VAD, EVAHEART, and HeartCon, as well as the imported device HeartMate 3.

Background: Isoliquiritigenin, a key pharmacologically active compound derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, can be further modified into various high-value 5-deoxyflavones, demonstrating significant potential for pharmaceutical development. Currently, the supply of isoliquiritigenin primarily depends on plant extraction. However, heterologous synthesis using microbial cell factories presents a promising alternative, offering a solution to resource limitations caused by the dwindling availability of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Objective: This study aimed to employ heterologous synthesis in yeast strains for the stable and high-efficiency production of isoliquiritigenin. Methods: First, a stable chassis strain for isoliquiritigenin production was constructed by integrating optimized biosynthetic pathway enzyme genes. A type IV noncatalytic chalcone isomerase-like protein and a synthetic protein scaffold system were employed to enhance the metabolic channeling of key pathway enzymes. Subsequently, yeast metabolism was fine-tuned to balance precursor supply, and cofactor engineering strategies were implemented to increase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) availability, thereby ensuring the catalytic efficiency of the key enzyme chalcone reductase. Results: The engineered strain Y21-2 achieved a 24.4-fold increase in isoliquiritigenin titer compared to the original strain. Additionally, the proportion of the by-product naringenin chalcone was reduced by 67.8%, marking the first instance in which the ratio of C-5 hydroxylated by-products was minimized to 10.4% during the microbial synthesis of 5-deoxyflavones. Conclusion: This work provides a valuable reference for the efficient and sustainable production of isoliquiritigenin, laying a solid foundation for further pathway optimization and the biotechnological synthesis of other high-value natural 5-deoxyflavones.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of the injury of knee ligament and cartilage in pediatric patients after acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods:Clinical data of 68 pediatric patients with acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation admitted to The Second Hospital of Tangshan from September,2020 to September,2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All children underwent MRI scan on knee joint. These children were divided into partial tear group (85 cases) and complete tear group (41 cases) according to injury degree. In addition,the location and characteristic of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury and cartilage injury were analyzed. Results:All 126 children had MPFL injury,including 85 cases of partial tear and 41 cases of complete tear. Among the partial tears,34 cases occurred only on the patellar side,14 cases only on the femoral side,9 cases only in the middle segment,and 28 cases had multiple-site injuries. Among the complete tears,27 cases occurred only on the patellar side,7 cases only on the femoral side,4 cases only in the middle segment,and 3 cases had multiple-site injuries. The number of each degree of partial MPFL injury was higher than that of complete injury,and the difference was statistically significant (x2=7.596,10.886,P<0.05). Among the 126 children,91 cases had VMO injury,and the degree of VMO injury was positively correlated with the degree of MPFL injury (r=0.339,P=0.006). Among the 126 children with acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation,119 cases had osteochondral injury,with a total of 174 injured sites. The sites of grade 1 injury were mainly on the patellar side,while those of grades 2,3,and 4 injuries were mainly multiple-site injuries. Conclusion:Most of acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation complicate MPFL injury and cartilage injury in pediatric patients,which mainly focus on patellar side of injury and multiple injury. There are no differences in injury site and degree between different genders. MPFL injury mostly complicates VMO injury,which injury degree is positively correlation with MPFL.

Objective To explore the valve regurgitation status of left heart after the implantation of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and its effect on prognosis of patients with LVAD implantation. Methods A total of 35 patients with cardiomyopathy who underwent magnetic levitation LVAD implantation at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from February 2021 to July 2024 were retrospectively selected. Clinical data during hospitalization were collected, including preoperative basic data and postoperative valve regurgitation status. Telephone follow-ups were conducted to monitor patients’ survival status and transthoracic echocardiography was used to assess left valve function. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank test were employed to compare the survival rate of patients with different levels of valve regurgitation. Results The 35 patients had a mean age of (53.9±11.1) years, with 85.7% male, and 3 patients (8.6%) died during hospitalization. Preoperatively, 17 patients (48.6%) had moderate or greater mitral regurgitation, while all 35 patients had less than moderate aortic regurgitation. One month postoperatively, thirty patients were followed up, among which 24 patients (80%) had less than moderate mitral regurgitation, including 11 cases with alleviated regurgitation compared to pre-surgery; 6 patients (20%) had moderate or greater mitral regurgitation, including 4 cases with stable regurgitation and 2 cases with progression of regurgitation compared to pre-surgery; 2 patients (6.7%) had progression of aortic regurgitation to moderate or greater. The follow-up time was 1.2 (1.0, 2.1) years, with 1-year survival rate of 91.4% and 3-year survival rate of 71.1%. Survival analysis showed that the 3-year survival rate of patients with moderate or greater mitral regurgitation one month postoperatively was significantly lower than that of patients with less than moderate regurgitation (66.7% vs 83.3%, P＝0.046). Conclusions After the implantation of magnetic levitation LVAD, most patients showed improvement in mitral regurgitation, while aortic regurgitation remained unchanged. The degree of mitral regurgitation one month postoperatively is associated with prognosis.
