Objective Based on Network pharmacology to explore the mechanism of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills in treating Psycho-cardiological disease.Methods To obtain the validated targets of the complete formulation of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills,data were sourced from databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang,VIP,and PubMed.Additionally,genes associated with Psycho-cardiological disease were retrieved from the Genecards database.Utilizing the Digital Intelligence Traditional Chinese Medicine Innovation Platform,network proximity was calculated for the obtained targets and genes.The potential targets of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills in the treatment of Psycho-cardiological disease conduct enrichment analysis,trace the source of medicinal materials and effective components absorbed into the blood.Results Obtained 192 targets for the Compound Danshen Dripping Pills,1137 genes for Psycho-cardiological disease,and the network proximity calculation showed a significant correlation between the two(Z-score=-6.5282).The enrichment analysis of the 95 potential targets predominantly reveals their association with several key pathways,including AGE-RAGE signaling in diabetic complications,Lipid and atherosclerosis,fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis,the HIF-1 signaling pathway,TNF signaling.The traceability analysis indicates that 80 targets are associated with three distinct medicinal materials,10 targets are linked to two medicinal materials,and 5 targets are connected to a single medicinal material.95 targets are mainly related to 17 effective blood components such as salvianolic acid B,tanshinone ⅡA,and salvianolic acid A.The top 16 key genes were obtained by sorting the targets based on the Betweenness values corresponding to the blood components.The enrichment analysis of the key gene indicated that the treatment of Psycho-cardiological disease with Compound Danshen Dripping Pills is associated with the positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation and the hypoxia response.Additionally,it is linked to the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications,fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis,the relaxin signaling pathway,lipid and atherosclerosis,and the TNF signaling pathway,etc.Conclusion The Compound Danshen Dripping Pills may improve Psycho-cardiological disease by regulating inflammatory response,oxidative stress,myocardial ischemia,neuroprotection,and neurotoxicity inhibition through components such as salvianolic acid B,tanshinone ⅡA,tanshinone Ⅰ,salvianolic acid A,protocatechuic acid,etc.

Objective To employ three dimensional high-resolution vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging(3D hr-VW-MRI)for analyzing the imaging characteristics of posterior circulation non-stenotic intracranial atherosclerotic plaque and to discuss its diagnostic value in identifying culprit plaques.Methods Ninety-three patients(age[62.94±9.70]years old,67 males,26 females)with non-stenotic atherosclerosis in our hospital from Jan.2019 to Jan.2021 were retrospectively recruited.The imaging features of plaques,including luminal area,maximum wall thickness and minimum wall thickness at the most stenotic site,stenosis rate,plaque burden,remodeling index,eccentricity index,enhancement ratio at the most stenotic site,and intraplaque hemorrhage,were measured based on T1-weighted imaging(T1WI)and contrast-enhanced T1WI.The culprit plaque was defined as a lesion arising from the responsible vascular supply area to a fresh infarction on the diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)and T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery(T2-FLAIR)images with accompanying ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack(TIA).A plaque was considered to be a nonculprit plaque when it occurred in patients with presumed ischemic stroke/TIA,but without an infarct on DWI and T2-FLAIR.Results Sixty-one culprit plaques and 32 non-culprit plaques were analyzed.The proportions of patients with hyperlipidemia,National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,narrowest plaque enhancement rate,and incidence of intraplaque hemorrhage in the culprit plaque group were significantly higher than those in the non-culprit plaque group(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that NIHSS score(odds ratio[OR]=1.799,95％confidence interval[CI]1.303-2.484,P＜0.001),enhancement ratio(OR=1.076,95％CI 1.027-1.128,P=0.002)and intraplaque hemorrhage(OR=30.708,95％CI 2.563-367.925,P=0.007)were associated with plaque type.Conclusion NIHSS score,enhancement ratio at the most stenotic site,and intraplaque hemorrhage are independent risk factors for culprit plaques in patients with posterior circulation non-stenotic intracranial atherosclerotic disease.These indicators may help identify such culprit plaques and could be used to screen individuals with plaques having these characteristics,thereby providing a basis for early preventive interventions.

Objective By analyzing the causes of coding errors of lower extremity arteriosclerosis occlusion with throm-bosis and the endovascular intervention,explore the principle diagnosis and intervention coding rules to improve coding quality.Methods Inpatient medical records with the principle diagnosis codes of I70-I74 and I77 accompanied by endovascular interven-tional from January 1,2023 to December 31,2023 were retrieved from a tertiary hospital.A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the causes of coding errors.Results A total of 924 eligible cases were selected.There were 41 principle diagnosis cod-ing errors,with an error rate of 4.43％,among which the lower limb atherosclerosis coding had the highest error rate,accounting for 1.30％.There were 46 intervention coding errors,with an error rate of 4.98％,among which the percutaneous thrombectomy had the highest error rate.The main reason for coding errors was insufficient reading of medical record.Conclusion The coding error rate of the principle diagnosis of lower extremity arteriosclerosis occlusion and the endovascular intervention were relatively high.Therefore,it is necessary to continuously strengthen the training of clinicians and coders,including the coding rules and clinical knowledge of specialized disciplines,actively communicate between coders and clinicians,establish a quality control and assessment system,so as to improve the coding quality.

Objective To explore the value of phase contrast(PC)MRI intracranial hemodynamic parameters for predicting acute mountain sickness(AMS).Methods Totally 72 healthy young volunteers were prospectively recruited.Intracranial hemodynamic parameters of internal carotid artery(ICA)and internal jugular vein(IJV)were measured using PC MRI under normal breathing,as well as mild,moderate and severe Valsalva maneuvers(VM)in plain area.The subjects were divided into AMS group(n=9)and non-AMS group(n=63)according to results of Lake Louise score(LLS)10 h after a rapid ascent to plateau area with altitude of 4 411 m.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to screen independent predictors of AMS under different states and then construct single and combined VM states prediction models.Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each model.Results ICA pulsatility index(PIICA)under mild VM,IJV cross-sectional area(SIJV)under moderate VM and IJV resistance index(RIIJV)under severe VM were all independent predictors of AMS(all P＜0.05).The efficacy of combined VM states model(AUC=0.869)for predicting AMS was higher than each single VM state model(AUC=0.698-0.738).Conclusion The model constructed based on PIICA under mild VM,SIJV under moderate VM and RIIJV under severe VM could be used to effectively predict AMS.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Objective:To analyze the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening status and the resulting residual risk (RR) among blood donors across 17 provincial blood centers in China.Methods:This study used a cross-sectional study. Data on HIV infection markers per 100 000 first-time donors (FD) and repeat donors (RD) from January 2015 to December 2024 were extracted from the National Blood Establishment Performance Comparison Information Management System. Questionnaires were used to collect each center′s HIV screening strategy, algorithm, serological test (ST) kit manufacturers, gray-zone setting for ST, and nucleic acid test (NAT) modality, method, and platform. The incidence-window-period model was used to calculate the residual risk for first-time donors (RR FD), repeat donors (RR RD), and total donors (RR TD) at each center. Horizontal and vertical analysis of RR FD, RR RD, and RR TD across centers and years were performed. Results:All 17 centers applied the same HIV screening strategy which was two rounds of ST followed by one round of NAT. Eight of them operated a single screening algorithm, six employed two algorithms and three used three. Eleven centers used both imported and domestic ST kits, five relied on domestic ST kits only, and one used imported ST kits only, while four centers never set a grey zone for ST throughout the decade. For NAT modalities, eight centers adopted both individual nucleic acid test (ID-NAT) and minipool nucleic acid test (MP-NAT), eight used MP-NAT only and one used ID-NAT only. Seven centers combined transcription mediated amplification (TMA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nine used PCR only and one used TMA only, and fourteen centers ran both imported and domestic NAT systems, two used imported systems only and one used a domestic system only. Over the ten-year period, the mean RR FD across the centers ranged from 2.22 to 12.33 per 10 6 person-years, RR RD from 0.83 to 3.29 per 10 6 person-years and RR TD from 1.59 to 9.29 per 10 6 person-years, with center Z4 consistently showing the lowest values for all three metrics and center U4 recording the highest RR FD and RR TD, while center D2 had the highest RR RD. In 2024 compared with 2015, eleven centers achieved a lower RR FD and ten centers achieved lower RR RD and RR TD. The RR FD and RR TD of centers W2 and U4 displayed pronounced fluctuations and an upward trend in recent years. Conclusions:The 17 provincial blood centers maintain consistent HIV screening strategies, while demonstrating variations in screening algorithm, ST kit manufacturers, NAT modalities, methods, and platform. And the RR FD, RR RD, and RR TD differ across centers. Although most centers show declining trend in RR over the ten-year period, some centers exhibite data fluctuations with a rising trend, suggesting potential for further optimization of HIV screening protocols.

Objective To explore the correlation of MET status in patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma with the clinical pathological parameters and prognosis. Methods The specimen from 135 patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma was included. The expression of c-MET protein was detected via immunohistochemistry, and MET gene amplification was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The relationships of c-MET expression and gene amplification with clinicopathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of c-MET was 52.60% (71/135). Compared with the c-MET expression in adjacent tissues, that in tumor tissues showed lower heterogeneous expression. Among the cases, 1.71% (2/117) exhibited MET gene polyploidy, but no gene amplification was detected. Positive c-MET expression was significantly correlated with high Gleason scores and grade groups (P=0.0073). However, no significant relationship was found between c-MET expression and progression-free survival or post-treatment t-PSA levels. Conclusion c-MET protein is expressed at a relatively low level in advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma, suggesting that c-MET may not be a viable target for ADC drug development in prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma.
