We report a case of a female farmer from the Yichang suburb, aged 68 years, who had been suffering from the infection for 3 years and had a history of seeking medical treatment at a community hospital and receiving blood transfusions. Her hemoglobin was as low as 28 g/L during this visit, and she had been ill for a long time with severe anemia. Routine stool examination revealed hookworm eggs. After active treatment, the patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

Objective:To investigate the effect of emergency whole course optimized management model based on first aid effect and blood gas index on the outcome and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial ischemia.Meth-ods:A total of 105 patients with acute myocardial ischemia admitted in People's Hospital of Hai'an City between May 2020 and January 2023 were enrolled in this randomized controlled study.Patients were divided into control group(n=53)and intervention group(n=52).Patients in the control group received routine emergency nursing mode,while those in the intervention group received whole course optimized management mode of emergency nurs-ing.Patients in both groups received a one-week nursing intervention.The indexes of emergency time,cardiac function,psychological condition,blood gas indexes and incidence of adverse events during nursing were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared to those in the control group,participants in the intervention group had significant lower triage assessment time[(0.59±0.22)min vs.(3.57±0.38)min,P<0.001],time of the first ECG[(5.30±0.84)min vs.(9.58±1.02)min,P<0.001],venous passage time[(6.22±1.27)min vs.(15.20±2.29)min,P<0.001],anticoagulant administration time[(9.56±1.46)min vs.(16.23±2.17)min,P<0.001],total emergency time[(52.50±2.99)min vs.(70.34±5.32)min,P<0.001],significant higher partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood(PaO2)[(78.24±3.25)mmHg vs.(70.20±3.02)mmHg,P<0.001],and sig-nificant lower left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd)[(52.27±4.37)mm vs.(57.86±5.59)mm,P<0.001],left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESd)[(35.25±3.77)mm vs.(42.51±4.29)mm,P<0.001],scores of self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)[(31.17±5.06)points vs.(48.62±5.60)points,P<0.001],self-rating depression scale(SDS)[(32.19±4.78)points vs.(44.93±5.91)points,P<0.001]and partial pres-sure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood(PaCO2)[(33.00±2.70)mmHg vs.(40.72±3.15)mmHg,P<0.001].We detected lower adverse event occurrence(12.00%vs.28.00%)in the intervention group(P=0.046).Conclu-sion:The emergency whole course optimized management may reduce the time consuming of all aspects of emergen-cy,alleviate the anxiety and depression,improve blood gas indexes,and reduce the occurrence of adverse events in patients with acute myocardial ischemia.

Plastics are widely used in all areas of human life,providing convenience while also causing serious en-vironmental pollution problems.Microplastic pollution is one of its derivative problems.Microplastics are plastic parti-cles with a diameter of less than 5 mm.They are currently widely present in the environment,so humans are at considera-ble risk of exposure to microplastics.Humans are mainly exposed to microplastics through the respiratory tract,digestive tract and skin.When exposed to a large number of microplastics,some of them will enter the body and be transported throughout the body via the bloodstream,accumulating in multiple tissues and organs.A significant amount of microplas-tics has also been detected in the cardiovascular system.This paper systematically describes human exposure to and dam-age by microplastics,highlighting the distribution and pathological damage of microplastics in the cardiovascular system.The pathological mechanisms of cardiovascular damage caused by microplastics are analyzed,and relevant clinical research progress is followed.This paper aims to evaluate the pathological risk of microplastics from the perspective of cardiovascu-lar damage,and provide a basis for disease prevention and scientific prevention and control of microplastic pollution.

Aim To evaluate the bioequivalence of two oral preparations of rivaroxaban tablets(test preparation T and refe-rence preparation R)in fasting/postprandibular state in healthy Chinese subjects.Methods A randomized,open,single-dose,four-cycle,completely repeated crossover experiment was used in this study.A total of 70 healthy male and female subjects were enrolled,including 38 subjects in the fasting group and 32 sub-jects in the postprandial group.Rivaroxaban tablets(2.5 mg/tablet)were taken orally once per cycle and their reference preparations were tested.The plasma rivaroxaban concentration was determined by LC-MS/MS method.The pharmacokinetic parameters of rivaroxaban tablets were calculated by WinNonlin software,and the parameters were analyzed and processed.Re-sults The PK parameters of rivaroxaban tablets and reference preparations in fasting group were as follows:Cmax was(72.48±17.08)and(66.36±15.64)μg·L-1,respectively.AUC0-t were(383.49±101.06)and(370.43±102.16)h·ng·mL-1,and AUC0-inr were(389.58±102.28)and(375.84±103.01)h·μg·L-,respectively.Main PK parameters of subjects taking rivaroxaban tablets orally after meals:Cmax were(66.48±15.64 and 60.87±13.44)μg·L-1,AUC0-t were(404.44±72.58)and(381.80±79.93)h·μg·L-1,re-spectively.AUC0_inf was(410.88±73.55)and(393.64±69.71)h·μg·L-1,respectively.Under fasting and postmeal conditions,subjects took rivaroxaban test and reference prepara-tion orally,one tablet(2.5 mg/tablet)each time.The geometric mean of the main pharmacokinetic parameters of rivaroxaban in plasma(Cmax,AUC0-t,AUC0-inf)and their corresponding values had a 90%confidence interval ranging from 80.00%to 125.00%.No serious adverse events or unexpected adverse e-vents occurred in both groups.Conclusion Rivaroxaban tablets are bioequivalent and safe in vivo under fasting and postprandial conditions.

Korean Journal of Radiology 2025;26(5):460-470
Objective:
To retrospectively compare the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with parotidectomy for superficial pleomorphic adenoma (PA).
Materials and Methods:
From March 2022 to October 2023, 88 patients diagnosed with superficial parotid PA underwent either RFA (n = 12; mean age, 47.1 years) or parotidectomy (n = 76; mean age, 47.8 years). Patients in the RFA group were matched to those in the surgery group in a 1:1 ratio using propensity scores based on age, sex, tumor volume, diameter, location, and comorbidities. Ultrasound characteristics, cosmetic scores (0–4), numerical rating scale scores (0–10), and complications were assessed before the procedures and at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-ups. Outcomes were compared between baseline and follow-up in the RFA group and between the RFA and surgery groups.
Results:
In the RFA group, significant reductions in tumor volume were observed between baseline (median, 2.02 cm 3 ) and the 1-month follow-up (median, 1.21 cm 3 ; P = 0.015), between the 1-month and 3-month follow-ups (median, 0.53 cm 3 ; P= 0.002), and between the 3- and 6-month follow-ups (median, 0.23 cm 3 ; P = 0.003). The volume reduction ratios at 1, 3, and 6 months were 39.7%, 79.9%, and 88.0%, respectively. The cosmetic score was significantly lower at 3- and 6-month followup compared to baseline (median 1 and 1 vs. 4, P = 0.04). The numerical rating scale scores did not differ significantly from baseline throughout follow-up. In the propensity score-matched analysis (12 patients per group), RFA was associated with a shorter median procedure time (61.5 vs. 253.3 minutes; P < 0.001), shorter hospital stay (0 vs. 4 days; P < 0.001), and lower cost (1859.9 vs. 3512.4 USD; P < 0.001) than parotidectomy, with no significant difference in overall complication rates (33.3% [4/12] vs. 41.7% [5/12]; P = 1.000).
Conclusion
RFA may be a safe and effective alternative to surgery for superficial parotid PA, offering a shorter median procedure time, shorter hospital stay, and lower costs.
