Objective To investigate the influence of plasma infusion during orthotopic liver transplantation on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in recipients. Methods Cinical data of 473 liver transplant recipients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. The study included 354 recipients who received plasma infusion during the operation (plasma group) and 119 recipients who did not receive plasma infusion during the operation (control group). Preoperative conditions, donor conditions, intraoperative conditions, main outcome indicators and secondary outcome indicators of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to calculate the maximum cut-off value of intraoperative plasma infusion volume that affected the occurrence of AKI within 7 days after surgery. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between intraoperative plasma infusion volume and the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery. Results Before propensity score matching, the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery and the incidence of grade Ⅲ AKI in the plasma group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After propensity score matching, 62 recipients were included in each group. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery between the plasma group and the control group, but the incidence of grade Ⅲ AKI within 7 days after surgery in the plasma group was higher than that in the control group (P=0.041). Logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative plasma infusion volume >900 mL was a potential risk factor for AKI within 7 days after surgery (odds ratio=1.936, 95% confidence interval 1.193-3.142, P=0.007). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of 365-day postoperative fatality, reperfusion syndrome, and postoperative 30-day complications between the two groups before and after propensity score matching. In addition, the postoperative albumin, fibrinogen levels, and international normalized ratio in the plasma group were better than those in the control group before and after matching (all P<0.05). Conclusions Large amount of intraoperative plasma infusion is associated with an increased risk of grade Ⅲ AKI after orthotopic liver transplantation. Intraoperative plasma infusion volume >900 mL may increase the risk of AKI within 7 days after surgery.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of Qingre Huoxue prescription combined with methotrexate (MTX) and folic acid (FA) on homocysteine (Hcy) levels and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). MethodsOn the basis of a multicenter real-world cohort from the China Registry of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Rheumatism (CERTAIN) platform,408 patients with RA complicated by HHcy were selected and included in this study. Treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription was used as the exposure factor. According to whether Qingre Huoxue prescription was combined with MTX and FA,patients were assigned into an exposure group of 281 cases and a control group of 127 cases. Follow-ups were conducted every three months,with the primary outcome indicator being the achievement rate of target Hcy level. A generalized estimating equation model was adopted to analyze the dynamic changes in Hcy level under different medication regimens. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the cumulative achievement rate of target Hcy level in the two groups,and Cox regression analysis was conducted to explore the predictive factors affecting the achievement rate of target Hcy level. Changes in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP),28-joint disease activity score (DAS 28),and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) scores before and after the first combined treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe Hcy level in the exposure group showed a gradual decreasing trend over time,while the decrease in Hcy level was not significant in the control group. At the 12-month follow-up,the achievement rate of target Hcy level in the exposure group (124/281,44.13%) was higher than that in the control group (23/127,18.11%,P<0.01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription [hazard ratio(HR)=3.013,95% confidence interval (CI) 2.188-4.149, P<0.001], absence of comorbidities (HR=2.035, 95%CI 1.352-3.061, P<0.001), and baseline Hcy <15 μmol·L-1 (HR=1.810, 95%CI 1.390-2.357, P<0.001) were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels within 6 months. In contrast, higher PGA scores were associated with a reduced likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels (HR=0.991, 95% CI 0.986-0.997, P=0.003). After treatment,the exposure group demonstrated reductions in ESR,CRP,and DAS 28 scores (P<0.05) and had lower ESR,CRP and DAS 28 scores than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionEven after taking FA supplements,some RA patients undergoing MTX treatment still have high Hcy levels. When being used in conjunction with MTX and FA,Qingre Huoxue prescription can effectively lower the Hcy level and disease activity in RA patients with HHcy,outperforming Western treatment alone.

Based on the theory of "combined bi (痹) syndrome of the body and zang (脏)organs", this paper elucidates the pathogenic transmission and treatment principles of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). For the pattern in which the disease transmits from the body to the zang organs, the underlying pathogenesis is blood deficiency and liver constraint with cold congealing in the collaterals. The treatment principle is to nourish the blood and warm the channels, diffuse the lung and defend against pathogenic factors, so as to interrupt the inward transmission of the disease. For the pattern in which the disease transmits from the zang organs to the body, the pathogenesis may involve lung deficiency with insecurity of the exterior, liver fire attacking the lung and scorching the collaterals, or latent pathogens of phlegm and blood stasis permeating outward. The treatment principle is to tonify the lung and secure the exterior, clear the liver and purge the lung, and resolve blood stasis and unblock the collaterals, so that when the zang organs are restored, the body can be nourished. For the pattern in which the body and zang organs are simultaneously affected, the pathogenesis lies in violent toxin pathogens spreading throughout the three jiao (焦) and damaging both the body and zang organs. The treatment principle is to cool the blood and resolve toxins, resolve blood stasis and unblock the collaterals, thereby eliminating pathogenic factors from both the interior and exterior. Emphasis is placed on simultaneous treatment of the body and zang organs and dynamic syndrome differentiation and treatment, providing a new approach to understanding the pathogenesis of SSc-ILD in traditional Chinese medicine and to its stratified treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the data standard system of electronic medical records in the field of rehabilitation, focusing on the terminology and coding standards, data structure, and key content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records. MethodsBased on the Administrative Norms for the Application of Electronic Medical Records issued by the National Health Commission of China, the electronic medical record standard architecture issued by the International Organization for Standardization and Health Level Seven (HL7), the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), Basic Architecture and Data Standards of Electronic Medical Records, Basic Data Set of Electronic Medical Records, and Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, the study constructed and organized the data structure, content, and data standards of rehabilitation electronic medical records. ResultsThe data structure of rehabilitation electronic medical records should strictly follow the structure of electronic medical records, including four levels (clinical document, document section, data set and data element) and four major content areas (basic information, diagnostic information, intervention information and cost information). Rehabilitation electronic medical records further integrated information related to rehabilitation needs and characteristics, emphasizing rehabilitation treatment, into clinical information. By fully applying the WHO-FICs reference classifications, rehabilitation electronic medical records could establish a standardized framework, diagnostic criteria, functional description tools, coding tools and terminology index tools for the coding, indexing, functional description, and analysis and interpretation of diseases and health problems. The study elaborated on the data structure and content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records in four major categories, refined the granularity of reporting rehabilitation content in electronic medical records, and provided detailed data reporting guidance for rehabilitation electronic medical records. ConclusionThe standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records is significant for improving the quality of rehabilitation medical services and promoting the rehabilitation process of patients. The development of rehabilitation electronic medical records must be based on the national and international standards. Under the general electronic medical records data structure and standards, a rehabilitation electronic medical records data system should be constructed which incorporates core data such as disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation interventions. The standardized rehabilitation electronic medical records scheme constructed in this study can support the improvement of standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records data information.

Continuous manufacturing, as an innovative pharmaceutical production model, offers advantages such as high production efficiency and ease of control compared to traditional batch production, aligning with the future trend of drug production moving toward greater efficiency and intelligence. However, the development of continuous manufacturing technology in wet granulation has been slow. On one hand, this is closely related to its high technical complexity, substantial equipment investment costs, and stringent process control requirements. On the other hand, the long-term use of the traditional batch production model has created strong path dependence, and the lack of mature standardized processes further increases the difficulty of technological transformation. To promote the deep integration of wet granulation technology with continuous manufacturing, this review systematically outlines the current application of wet granulation in continuous manufacturing. It focuses on the development of key technologies such as online detection, process modeling, and process scale-up, with the aim of providing a reference for process innovation and application in wet granulation.

Objective To study the spatial distribution of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Hubei Province and its influencing factors, so as to improve the theoretical basis for scientific development of tuberculosis prevention and control measures in the future. Methods The data of reported incidence of tuberculosis and related influencing factors in various counties and districts of Hubei Province in 2020 were collected. Global Moran's I index, hotspot analysis and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model analysis were used to calculate the spatial autocorrelation of the incidence of tuberculosis, and to analyze the influencing factors affecting the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Results There were obvious regional differences in the space distribution of the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Hot spot analysis showed positive spatial correlation and obvious clustering. The GWR model (AICc=784.251) in this study had higher AICc value compared to the ordinary least squares regression (OLS) model (AICc=804.2585). The GWR model showed that the increase in the proportion of the population aged 65 and above and the proportion of the ethnic minority population had a significant promoting effect on the increase of the incidence rate of tuberculosis, and there was significant spatial heterogeneity. The effect of PM2.5 concentration on the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis varied in different regions, and the degree of effect was also different. Conclusion The proportion of people aged 65 and above and the proportion of ethnic minorities may significantly influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The effect of PM2.5 concentration varies in different regions, so targeted measures should be formulated according to the situation in different regions.

Objective To examine the effect of temperature on the risk of varicella in Jiangjin District, Chongqing, and to provide reference for formulating varicella prevention and control strategies. Methods Data on varicella cases from 2015 to 2020 were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, while meteorological data for the same period were collected through the China Meteorological Data Sharing Service Network. A distributed lag non-linear model was employed to analyze the correlation between different lag days (lag) and temperature and the incidence of varicella, as well as their impact on sensitive population. Using the lowest risk temperature as a reference, the relative risk of extreme low temperature 8°C (P5) and extreme high temperature 31.5°C (P95) on the onset of varicella was estimated. Results Over the six-year period, Jiangjin District reported 7 547 varicella cases, predominantly among children aged 5-9, accounting for 40.64% (3 067 cases) of the total. The incidence of varicella exhibited obvious seasonality and a bimodal distribution pattern. The exposure-response curve between daily varicella cases and temperature was U-shaped. At a low temperature of 8°C with a 3-day lag, the general population exhibited the highest risk, with a relative risk (RR) of 1.43 (95% CI: 1.22-1.67). After a 7-day lag, the cumulative relative risk (CRR) escalated to 2.79 (95% CI: 1.95-3.98). Conversely, at a high temperature of 31.5°C with no lag, the peak risk yielded an RR of 1.77 (95% CI: 1.23-2.37), and a 7-day lag resulted in a CRR of 2.05 (95% CI: 1.47-2.86). The temperature had the greatest impact on the incidence of varicella in preschool children. At 8°C with a 7-day lag, the CRR of varicella incidence in preschool children was 2.34 (95% CI: 1.89-2.91), with an attributable fraction (AF) of temperature reaching 38.49% (95% CI: 34.45%-42.06%). Conclusion Exposure to both low and high temperature in Jiangjin District, Chongqing can increase the risk of varicella, and the effect is more pronounced in preschool children.

Hypereosinophilia is the term given to a group of highly heterogeneous diseases that are characterized by an increase in the absolute count of peripheral eosinophils,which can accumulate in one or more organs.Although parasitic infection is one of the common causes of eosinophilia,it is often ignored.So far,no clear diagnostic guideline for hepatic sparganosis exists worldwide,and only scattered cases have been reported.We reported a case of a patient with hypereosinophilia induced by hepatic sparganosis,with multiple organ involvement,and discussed the clinical characteristics and treatment plan.This report will help clinicians better understand the differential diagnosis of hepatic sparganosis and the diagnosis and treatment of hypereosinophilia.
10.Occipital lobe epilepsy
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(8):675-680
Occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) accounts for 5%-10% of all focal epilepsy cases. Ictal clinical symptoms mainly include visual and ocular movements, with common and specific elementary visual hallucinations. Electroencephalography has certain limitations, and a well-localized unifocal rhythmic ictal discharge during seizure is infrequent on ictal EEG. Detailed preoperative evaluation, especially the evaluation of symptoms and intracranial EEG monitoring, can help to obtain good outcomes after surgical treatment.
