Objective:To investigate the influence of prealbumin on cerebral infarction severity, hemorrhage transformation and 1-year prognosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select 752 patients with cerebral infarction who were treated in Beijing Tiantan Hospital,Capital Medical University from December 2018 to December 2019 as the study objects. Personal information and laboratory indicators of the patients were collected including prealbumin, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, etc.Patients were divided into group B1 (<238 mg/L) and group B2 (≥238 mg/L) based on median prealbumin. By inquiry patient's case, NIHSS score (<16 was classified as mild, ≥16 as moderate and severe)and cerebral infarction volume (<20 cm 3 as small infarct, >20 cm 3 as large infarct) were recorded to evaluate the severity of the disease, and whether hemorrhage transformation occurred during hospitalization was recorded. Patients were followed up 1 year after discharge, and prognostic information of patients was recorded, including neurological function recovery (mRS score <3 was classified as good recovery, ≥3 as poor recovery),all-cause case fatality rate, and recurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular events. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as xˉ±s, non-normally distributed measurement data were expressed as median and quartiles[ M( Q1, Q3)], categorical variable were expressed as ratio and percent(%). Comparison between groups of measurement data were performed by independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Chi-square test were used on comparison between groups of categorical variable. Single-factor comparison, Spearman correlation analysis and multiple Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between prealbumin and other laboratory indicators, cerebral infarction severity, hemorrhage transformation and 1-year prognosis, respectively. Results:The NIHSS score and infarct volume of patients in group B1 were 5(2,10) and 3.18(0.72,18.00) cm 3, and those in group B2 were 3(2,7) and 2.0(0.5,10.0) cm 3, respectively, which were higher in group B1 than in group B2, the differences were statistically significant ( Z=3.85, P<0.001, Z=2.81, P=0.005). The proportion of mRS Score ≥3 in group B1 was 28.8%(107/371), and the all-cause case fatality rate was 7.5%(28/371), both higher than 20.5%(78/381) and 3.1%(12/381) in group B2, with statistical significance ( χ2=7.10, P=0.008, χ2=7.22, P=0.007). Hemorrhage transformation and recurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular events were 13.5%(50/371) and 11.6%(43/371) in group B1 and 9.2% (35/381) and 8.7%(33/381) in group B2, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=3.45, P=0.063, χ2=1.78, P=0.183). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusted for potential confounding factors, prealbumin was protective factor of NIHSS ( OR and 95% CI: 0.990(0.984-0.997), P=0.035), poor neurological recovery(mRS≥3) ( OR and 95% CI:0.992(0.988-0.997), P<0.001) and all-cause case fatality rate ( OR and 95% CI:0.991(0.983-0.999), while prealbumin had no significant influence on cardiocerebrovascular recurrence events ( OR and 95% CI: 0.999(0.993-1.005), P=0.729). Conclusion:Prealbumin is significantly associated with the severity of cerebral infarction and poor prognosis 1 year after discharge, and low prealbumin was an independent risk factor for NIHSS score(≥16), poor neurological recovery (mRS≥3) and all-cause case fatality rate.

Objectives:To explore the effects of infarct volume, infarct type, inflammation, and coagulation indicators on hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:711 patients with cerebral infarction admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital were retrospectively included as the study objects from December 2018 to December 2019 [535 males and 176 females, age 22-95 years, mean age (59.6±12.1) years]. Clinical data, laboratory indicators such as inflammation and coagulation function of patients were collected, and information such as location, volume and type of infarction were recorded. The patients were divided into hemorrhage transformation group and non-hemorrhage transformation group according to whether hemorrhage transformation occurred during hospitalization. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as xˉ± s, non-normally distributed measurement data were expressed as median and quartiles [ M( Q1, Q3)], categorical variable were expressed as ratio and percent (%). Comparison between groups of measurement data were performed by independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test. χ2 test were used on comparison between groups of categorical variable. Univariate comparison and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between hemorrhage transformation and infarct volume, infarction type and laboratory indicators, respectively, to explore the risk factors of hemorrhage transformation. ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of indicators. Results:The rates of coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation history in the hemorrhage transformation group were 23.5% (20/85) and 22.4% (19/85), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the non-hemorrhage transformation group (13.9% (87/626) and 5.8% (36/626), respectively), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=5.43, χ2=28.90, P=0.020, P<0.001, respectively). The NIHSS score [10(4,17) points] and infarct volume [46.50 (14.21,118.42) mL] in the hemorrhage transformation group were significantly higher than those in the non-hemorrhage transformation group [4(2,7) points, 2.00(0.51,8.94) mL]. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z values were 6.69 and 10.69, respectively, P<0.001). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation (OR=2.604, 95% CI: 1.186-5.716, P=0.107), infarct volume (OR=1.009, 95% CI: 1.004-1.015, P=0.001), infarct type of Chinese ischemic stroke subclassfication (OR=1.371, 95% CI: 1.085-1.731, P=0.008) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (OR=1.047, 95% CI: 1.006-1.090, P=0.023) were independent risk factors for hemorrhage transformation. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of infarct volume and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were 0.861 (0.821-0.901) and 0.684 (0.626-0.741), respectively, which were effective in predicting hemorrhage transformation after cerebral infarction. The prediction of infarct volume was more efficient. Conclusion:History of atrial fibrillation, classification of cardioembolic stroke, infarct volume, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio are all risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation after acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the short-term efficacy of arthroscopic total internal suture combined with platelet-rich plasma(PRP)in the treatment of lateral meniscal popliteal hiatus area injuries.Methods Forty-eight patients diagnosed with lateral meniscal popliteal hiatus area injuries in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected and divided into Fast-Fix total internal suture group(FF group,n=23)and Fast-Fix total internal suture combined with PRP group(PRP group,n=25)according to treatment methods.The positive rate of McMurray test at 6 and 12 months after surgery,the preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale(VAS)of pain,the International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC)scores,the Lysholm Knee Function Scores,and the Knee Society Scores(KSS)were compared between the two groups.Results No adverse events such as vascular and nerve injury,fever and infection occurred in both groups.There was no significant difference between the two groups in the positive rates of McMurray test at 6 and 12 months(χ2=0.880,P=0.348;Fisher's exact test,P=0.479).In the PRP group,25 cases were followed up for11-14 months,with an average of(12.2±0.8)months;in the FF group,23 cases were followed up for11-14 months,with an average of(12.8±0.8)months.The VAS scores at 6 months and 12 months after surgery were significantly lower than those before surgery in both groups(all P=0.000).The VAS scores of the PRP group at 6 and 12 months after surgery were significantly lower than those of the FF group(P<0.05).Both groups showed significant improvements in IKDC,Lysholm,and KSS scores at 6 and 12 months after surgery compared to preoperative levels(all P=0.000).The IKDC,Lysholm,and KSS scores of the PRP group at 6 and 12 months after surgery were significantly higher than those of the FF group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to Fast-Fix total internal suture alone,PRP joint cavity adjuvant therapy based on Fast-Fix total internal suture surgery could reduce the postoperative pain of patients,and promote the functional recovery of the knee joint,which is more recommended in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the correlation between perioperative oxygen concentration and postoperative organ injury and other adverse reactions in children undergoing neurosurgery.Methods This study is a single-center retrospective cohort study,including 512 children aged≤14 years and operating duration≥2 hours who were transferred after surgery to postanesthesia care unit(PACU),Department of Anesthesiology,Beijing Tiantan Hospital,Capital Medical University from October 2018 to September 2023.His electronic medical record system was used to review and collect the patient's medical records during hospitalization.Including baseline data,anesthetic use,duration of anesthesia,intraoperative oxygen concentration,postoperative diagnosis,and surgical method;blood pressure,heart rate,oxygen saturation,pain score and special conditions during anesthesia recovery;infection during postoperative hospitalization(including wound infection,intracranial infection),respiratory complications[confirmed by chest radiograph/chest computed tomography(CT)report],changes in renal function(first postoperative serum creatinine value-last preoperative serum creatinine value),and incidence of delirium during recovery period during anesthesia were recorded.The area under oxygen concentration-time curve area under curve AUCFiO2=the product of intraoperative oxygen concentration(%)and duration of anesthesia(min)was calculated,and then 512 children were divided into 3 groups according to the AUCFiO2 tripartite(group 1:AUCFiO2<8 720%min,group 2:8 720%·min≤AUCFiO2≤13 800%·min,group 3:AUCFiO2>13 800%·min)were included in the data analysis.Results The incidence of emergency delirium(ED)during postoperative recovery was 24%,26.9%and 19.4%,and the incidence of acute kidney injury(AKI)was 0.6%,2.3%and 0.6%,respectively.There was no significant difference between the three groups(P>0.05).The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in the three groups was 20.6%,20.8%and 31.5%,respectively,and there was significant statistical difference among the three groups(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in nausea,vomiting,hypoxemia,and PACU residence time among the three groups during anesthesia recovery room(P>0.05),and there were significant differences in intracranial infection,wound infection and hospital stay during hospitalization(P<0.05).Conclusion Although oxygen concentration AUCFiO2 has no correlation with the occurrence of postoperative AKI and ED,the longer the exposure time of conventional oxygen administration strategy,the higher the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative infection,and the longer the hospitalization time of children.

Objective:To observe and analyze the correlation between the changes of macular microvascular structure and the level of intracocular fluid cytokines in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).Methods:A prospective clinical study. From December 2022 to June 2024, 20 patients with 25 eyes of DME diagnosed by Department of Ophthalmology of Linyi People's Hospital were included in the study. Among them, 14 males had 17 eyes and 6 females had 8 eyes. Age was (55.08±10.34) years. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) were used to scan the macular region at a range of 6 mm×6 mm. Central retinal thickness (CRT), blood flow density of superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) and area of fovea avascular zone (FAZ) were measured. The anterior aqueous humor was extracted before the first intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the concentrations of interleukin (IL-6), IL-8, VEGF, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), placental growth factor (PLGF) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were detected. The correlation between macular microvascular structure and aqueous humor cytokines was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results:The CRT of the affected eyes was (617.40±167.64) μm, the SCP flow density was (39.56±1.55)%, and the FAZ area was (0.46±0.13) mm 2. The concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, VEGF, VCAM, PLGF and MCP-1 in aqueous humor were (301.36±690.52), (29.15±20.56), (71.37±29.32) and (5 621.22±7 241.06), (72.40±13.43), (464.07±163.26) pg/ml, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between CRT and the concentrations of aqueous cytokines VEGF and PLGF ( r=0.460, 0.462, P<0.05). FAZ area was positively correlated with VEGF and MCP-1 concentrations ( r=0.414, 0.465; P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between SCP blood flow density and IL-6 ( r=0.401, P<0.05). Conclusion:There was a significant correlation between the morphological structure of macular area and the damage degree of microvessels around macular area in DME patients and the concentration of aqueous cytokines.

Objective Examine and analyze the current situation of the construction of national regional medical centers for children in China,in order to provide reference for promoting the high-quality development of national regional medical centers for children and other categories.Methods Refer to literature and official websites of relevant national departments and hospitals to obtain the required data and establish an analysis database for children's national regional medical centers.Using PEST analysis method,conduct research from four perspectives:politics,economy,society,and technology.Results The development trend of national regional medical centers for children is good,with a favorable policy environment,increasing demand for children's medical and health services,and high social expectations.However,there are issues such as targeted support policies that need to be improved,varying levels of economic security,regional cultural conflicts,and differences in technological resource levels.Conclusion It is suggested to improve the targeted policy support system,establish a sound compensation mechanism,actively integrate into the overall development of regional society,and integrate the advantages of various technological resources.

OBJECTIVE To provide direction and reference for the adjustment of the discount rate （DR） in China’s pharmacoeconomic guidelines. METHODS Search was conducted on the official websites of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research， health technology assessment agencies in various countries/regions， as well as relevant websites of other upper-middle-income or high-income countries/regions. The recommended DR， adjustment trends， and setting rationales in pharmacoeconomic evaluation guidelines across different countries/regions were then summarized and compared. Based on theoretical derivation and literature analysis， the effects of different DR on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER） were examined. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Among the 40 included guidelines， the base-case DR ranged from 1.5% to 5%， with 5% being the most common value； the range for sensitivity analysis was 0 to 12%. Thirty-six countries/regions applied the same DR to both costs and health outcomes， while in the Netherlands， Belgium， Poland and Czech Republic， DR for costs was higher than for health outcomes. In recent years， Korea， France and Ireland had lowered their DR in response to economic changes， whereas the Netherlands and Czech Republic had raised their DR for cost. The setting of the DR was primarily based on the public project investment interest rate or referred to recommendations from internationally authoritative institutions and other relevant guidelines. The direction and magnitude of the impact of different DR on the ICER largely depended on the distribution of costs and health outcomes between the intervention and reference measure. The setting and adjustment of DR were closely associated with the economic environment. Based on international experience, the DR in China can be lowered by 0.5% to 1.5%， and localized empirical research can be conducted using internationally common estimation methods.
