Objective To investigate the effects of dapagliflozin on inflammatory factors and prognosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods In a randomized, double-blind trial, 146 patients with T2DM and AMI (within 7 days of onset) were divided into dapagliflozin (dapagliflozin 10 mg/d combining AMI standard therapy) and control (AMI standard therapy) groups, and were followed up for 12 months. Serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) rate at 12 months were compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to analyze the cumulative incidences of MACE in the two groups. Results Three patients were withdrawn or dropped out. At 12 months, IL-1β, IL-6, and hs-CRP levels were significantly lower in dapagliflozin group (n=71) than those in control group (n=72, P<0.01), approaching normal levels. Compared with the control group, LVEF was higher (P<0.01), BNP was lower (P<0.01), MACE incidence was lower (P=0.047) in dapagliflozin group at 12 months. Generalized linear mixed models showed significant group-time interactions in IL-1β, IL-6, and hs-CRP (P<0.001), and these factors declined faster in the dapagliflozin group. Kaplan-Meier curve showed the cumulative incidences of MACE and heart failure were lower in dapagliflozin group than those in non-dapagliflozin group (P<0.05). Conclusions For patients with T2DM patients and AMI, dapagliflozin has good anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects.

Objective: To evaluate the causal effects and population heterogeneity of Guangzhou′s Voluntary Blood Donation Privilege Certificate Policy on blood donation behavior, and to provide empirical evidence for optimizing blood management policies. Methods: Using an interrupted time series (ITS) design, we analyzed 30 quarters of blood collection data from Guangzhou Blood Center (from July 2018 to December 2025). Taking the third quarter of 2021 as the intervention node, we constructed ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models incorporating level and trend effects, and conducted stratified analyses by gender, age group, previous donation frequency, and per-donation volume. Results: The tiered incentive policy demonstrated significant heterogeneous effects. Apheresis donations showed sustained growth, with 2 units of component blood exhibiting a significant trend effect (β=304.58, P<0.001); high-frequency donors (11+ times) demonstrated sustained growth trends in apheresis donations. For whole blood, immediate effects were significant for donors with 1-2 previous donations (β=4 537.55, P<0.001) and 3-10 previous donations (β=2 159.69, P<0.05); high-frequency donors (11-30 times) showed sustained growth trends (P<0.01). Stratified by per-donation volume, 400 mL whole blood demonstrated a significant immediate effect (β=4 391.01, P<0.1), while 200 mL whole blood showed a significant declining trend (β=-893.24, P<0.01). Conclusion: The tiered incentive policy effectively enhanced blood donation participation while maintaining the donors’ altruistic motivations. Young and middle-aged adults primarily drove apheresis donations. The policy demonstrated immediate incentive effects on low-frequency whole blood donors and long-term retention effects on high-frequency donors. Per-donation volume showed an "upward migration" trend, optimizing the blood collection structure. Differentiated outreach, conversion and retention strategies are recommended to further strengthen blood supply security.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of liquid nitrogen cryopreservation and reimplantation versus allograft reconstruction in patients underwent resection of primary malignant bone tumors of the long bones of the extremities.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 144 patients who underwent resection of primary malignant bone tumors of the long bones of the extremities followed by either liquid nitrogen cryopreservation and reimplantation or massive allografts reconstruction at the Beijing Jishuitan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University from January 2012 to July 2023. The study included 82 males and 62 females, with an average age of 23.8±12.3 years (range, 6-64 years). Patients were divided into two groups based on the reconstruction method: the cryopreservation and reimplantation group (72 cases) and the allograft group (72 cases). The following outcomes were recorded during follow-up: local tumor recurrence, bone union, union time, graft survival, and reasons for graft removal. Graft-related complications were recorded using the modified Henderson classification system of the International Limb Salvage Association. Limb function was assessed at the last follow-up using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score (MSTS-93).Results:All patients completed surgery and were followed up for a mean of 60.2±32.1 months (range, 12-149 months). At the last follow-up, 24 patients were dead from the tumor, 16 patients survived with the tumor (2 cases of local recurrence and 14 cases of distant metastasis), and 104 patients survived without the tumor. The bone union rate and union time in cryopreservation and reimplantation group were 90% (65/72) and 9.6±4.8 months, respectively, which was significantly superior to those in allograft group [68% (49/72) and 15.9±6.7 months, P<0.05]. The 5-year overall graft survival rate was 86.8% [95% CI (80.1%, 95.7%)] in cryopreservation and reimplantation group, higher than 73.2% [95% CI(68.4%, 84.5%)] in allograft group significantly (χ 2=7.122, P=0.017). The rates of graft removal due to non-union and infection in the cryopreservation and reimplantation group were 0% (0/72) and 1.4% (1/72), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the allograft group [5.6% (4/72) and 9.7% (7/72), P<0.05]. Overall, 48.6% (70/144) of patients experienced at least one graft-related complication, with a complication rate of 33.3% in cryopreservation and reimplantation group, lower than the 61.1% in allograft group significantly (χ 2=11.146, P<0.001). The complications with the highest incidence rate were nonunion (20.8%, 30/144), followed by structural failure (17.4%, 25/144), tumor progression (10.4%, 15/144), infection (10.4%, 15/144), and soft tissue failure (5.6%, 8/144). The incidence rates of the atrophic non-union and the structural failure of grafts were 9.7% (7/72) and 1.4% (1/72) respectively in the cryopreservation and reimplantation group, which were significantly lower compared to the allograft group [29.2% (21/72) and 13.9% (10/72), P<0.05]. At the last follow-up, the MSTS-93 score was 89.7%±8.3% in the cryopreservation and reimplantation group, and 87.6%±7.5% in the allograft group, with no statistically significant difference ( t=0.326, P=0.542). Conclusion:Compared with allograft reconstruction, autologous inactivated bone grafting demonstrated superior bone union efficiency and fewer complications, it may be considered for reconstruction in cases whose tumor bone is not severely osteolytic or pathologically fractured.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preoperative anxiety on the consciousness and autonomic nervous activity during propofol anesthesia.Methods:This study was a secondary analysis of data from the clinical trial in a prospective single-arm study. One hundred and thirty patients, aged 18-65 yr, with a body mass index of 18.5-27.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification I or Ⅱ, scheduled to receive propofol anesthesia, were selected from the Second People′s Hospital of Lianyungang. The six-item of the state anxiety inventory (SAI) of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to assess the anxiety of patients 1 h before surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the cut-off value of 12: obvious anxiety symptom (SAI score >12) group (group A, n=49) and no obvious anxiety symptom (SAI score ≤12) group (group B, n=81). After admission to the operating room, the patient was required to hold a 50 ml syringe filled with water. Propofol was given by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the target plasma concentration set at 5 μg/ml. When the effect-site concentration (Ce) of propofol increased to 3.5 μg/ml (all the patients lost consciousness), the closed-loop TCI was used to maintain BIS value between 45 and 55. The patients were monitored for 20 min after stopping the pump infusion (anesthesia recovery period). The disappearance time of verbal command, disappearance time of eyelash reflex, time of syringe dropping, recovery time of verbal command, recovery time of eyelash reflex, Ce at the recovery of verbal command, Ce at the recovery of eyelash reflex, Ce within the first 5 min of the closed-loop TCI, and consumption of propofol during anesthesia were recorded. The peripheral perfusion index, low frequency power and high frequency power of heart rate variability were recorded, and the ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power was calculated. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between preoperative SAI score and consciousness-related indicators, simulated Ce of propofol and consumption of propofol. Results:Compared with group B, the disappearance time of verbal command, disappearance time of eyelash reflex, and time of syringe dropping were significantly prolonged, the consumption of propofol, simulated Ce at recovery of verbal command and within the first 5 min of closed-loop TCI were increased, the peripheral perfusion index was decreased at each time point before administration and at 14-20 min of anesthesia recovery, and the low-frequency power was decreased during anesthesia maintenance in group A ( P<0.05). The SAI score was positively correlated with the disappearance time of verbal command ( r=0.220, P=0.012), time of syringe dropping ( r=0.206, P=0.029), consumption of propofol ( r=0.330, P<0.001), and the simulated Ce at the recovery of verbal command ( r=0.215, P=0.015) and simulated Ce at recovery of eyelash reflex ( r=0.207, P=0.022). Conclusions:Preoperative anxiety may lead to prolonged loss of consciousness and more marked inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity during propofol anesthesia.
