Objective To evaluate the intravascular volume at different levels of edema and disease course by the fractional excretion of filtered sodium(FeNa)of children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS).Methods A total of 172 children with newly diagnosed PNS who were hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2022 to September 2024 were selected and divided into non-e-dema group(n=51),mild edema group(n=43),moderate edema group(n=46)and severe edema group(n=32)according to the degree of edema at the time of admission.A total of 40 healthy children who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the healthy control group.Serum creatinine,ser-um sodium were detected before and after treatment.Urine samples were collected to detect urine creatinine,urine sodium,FeNa was calculated and compared according to the results,and the degree of edema was recor-ded.24 h urine samples were collected on the same day to detect 24 h urine protein quantification and 24 h u-rine volume.Results On day 1 to 2 of the course of the disease,about 12%of the PNS children had FeNa<0.2%,indicating insufficient intravascular volume,which was mainly concentrated in the severe edema group.The moderate,severe edema group had a significantly lower FeNa level than the non-edema group,mild edema group,and healthy control group(P<0.01).The moderate edema group had a significant increase in FeNa on days 6 to 7 of the course of the disease,and the severe edema group had a significant increase in Fena on days 11 to 12 of the course of the disease(P<0.01).Conclusion Intravascular volume of PNS children with mod-erate to severe edema is often reduced,and intravascular volume may be insufficient in severe edema.PNS chil-dren with moderate to severe edema have increased intravascular volume with the extension of the course of disease and the improvement of the condition.

Objective To analyze the reasons and influencing factors of ambiguous medical records,and propose targe-ted intervention strategies.Methods The medical records discharged from the Department of Otolaryngology,Head and Neck Surgery of a large Class Ⅲ hospital in Xi'an from January 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected,and the medical records groups and ambiguous medical records were screened through the DRG information platform.The clinical features,defect causes and risk factors of ambiguous cases were analyzed statistically.Results There were 4 124 discharged cases in the year,of which 77 were ambiguous cases,accounting for 1.87%.Compared with the non-ambiguous group,more patients in the ambig-uous group adopted a self-funded approach,experienced a transfer and a longer hospital stay.The proportion of surgery and trau-ma in ambiguous group was higher,but the proportion of tumor patients was lower.Due to DRG grouping rules,64 cases(83.1%)were divided into ambiguous groups,which was the primary direct cause.Binary Logistic regression indicated that self-paid medical treatment(OR=2.2),transfer(OR=4.8),hospitalization ≥7 days(OR=3.1),trauma(OR=15.0),and total cost>20 000 yuan(OR=1.7)were the risk factors for ambiguous disease cases(P<0.05),while tumor disease was the pro-tective factor(OR=0.6,P<0.05).Conclusion The emergence of ambiguous medical records involves many aspects such as clinical diagnosis and treatment,hospital management,health policy and so on,which has an important impact on hospital per-formance and medical insurance fund.Only by strengthening the level of hospital management,improving the quality of informa-tion system,and promoting the coordination and communication between doctors,management and patients,can we effectively re-duce the occurrence of ambiguous medical records.

A 70-year-old female patient with tumor in the neck and body of the pancreas received 11 cycles of chemotherapy with paclitaxel and gemcitabine. Due to disease progression, she subsequently underwent chemotherapy of fluorouracil, calcium folinate, and irinotecan, combined with immunotherapy of serplulimab. After 28 days (only one session of immunotherapy), the patient developed drooping of the right upper eyelid and chest tightness, followed by pain in the middle and lower segments of the sternum and radiating pain to the throat, accompanied by speech difficulties, dysphagia, and chest tightness and wheezing. Laboratory tests indicated hypersensitive troponin T 0.551 μg/L, creatine kinase (CK) 3 426 U/L, CK-MB 176 μg/L, and myoglobin 1 702 μg/L. The imaging examination of head and neck ruled out intracranial lesions, while the electrocardiogram suggested myocardial damage. Immune-related myocarditis with myositis and/or myasthenia gravis overlap syndrome (IM3OS) induced by serplulimab was considered. Immunotherapy was temporarily halted, and treatments with methyprednisolone and human immunoglobulin were administered. Sixteen days later, clinical symptoms of IM3OS in the patient were improved, with laboratory tests showing hypersensitive troponin I 0.075 μg/L, CK 216 U/L, CK-MB 58 μg/L, and myoglobin 273 μg/L. Upon follow-up, the patient switched to monotherapy with irinotecan alone or combined with raltitrexed for cancer treatment, clinical symptoms of IM3OS did not recur, and no abnormalities were observed in myocardial injury markers or muscle enzymes.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.
