Objective To systematically evaluate the differences in outcomes between functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) in patients treated with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using the MitraClip device. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, the CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and the CBM from their inception to January 2024. Two researchers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. The quality of cohort studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). A meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0 software. Results A total of 13 cohort studies involving 6 402 patients were included, comprising 4 161 patients in the FMR group and 2 241 in the DMR group. All included studies had NOS scores of ≥6 points. The meta-analysis revealed that compared to the DMR group, the FMR group had a higher 1-year all-cause mortality rate [OR=1.53, 95%CI (1.30, 1.81), P＜0.01] and a higher 1-year rehospitalization rate for heart failure [OR=1.90, 95%CI (1.60, 2.26), P＜0.01]. Conversely, the FMR group had a lower post-procedural mean transmitral gradient [SMD=–0.47, 95%CI (–0.65, –0.30), P＜0.01] and a lower rate of subsequent mitral valve surgery [OR=0.41, 95%CI (0.20, 0.83), P=0.01]. Conclusion Following MitraClip therapy, patients with FMR exhibit favorable short-term outcomes, but their mid- to long-term outcomes are inferior to those of patients with DMR. When determining the treatment strategy with MitraClip, the specific etiology of mitral regurgitation should be considered for a more accurate prediction of therapeutic efficacy and prognosis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Xiaozhen Formula （消疹方） in preventing skin toxicity induced by epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors （EGFRIs） in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled， multicenter clinical study was conducted. A total of 120 patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC from seven centers were enrolled and randomly assigned to a treatment group （60 cases） or a control group （60 cases）. On the basis of EGFRI-targeted therapy， patients in the treatment group received Xiaozhen Formula granules， whereas those in the control group received Xiaozhen Formula placebo granules， both at 10 g twice daily for 4 consecutive weeks. The primary outcomes were the grading of skin toxicity evaluated using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events （NCI-CTCAE） version 5.0 and the incidence of rash. Secondary outcomes included the time to onset and time to resolution of the highest-grade rash， the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 （EORTC QLQ-C30） scores， the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale （HADS） scores， and disease control rate， together with safety assessments. ResultsBased on the full analysis set （FAS）， the incidence of skin toxicity in the treatment group was 18.33% （11/60）， significantly lower than 45.00% （27/60） in the control group （P＜0.01）， with the highest severity of skin toxicity in both groups was grade 2. Among patients who developed rash， the resolution rate in the treatment group was 90.91% （10/11）， higher than that 33.33% （9/27） in the control group. The median time to resolution was 15 days （95%CI： 8-17 days） in the treatment group and it was not reached in the control group； the distribution of time to resolution differed significantly between groups （P＜0.001）. After treatment， the treatment group had higher EORTC QLQ-C30 functional scale and global health status/quality-of-life scores， and lower symptom scale， single-item scores， as well as HADS-A， and HADS-D scores than the control group （P＜0.05）. In the FAS analysis， the disease control rate （DCR） was 85.0% （51/60） in the treatment group， lower than 100.0% （60/60） in the control group （P=0.003）， whereas no significant between-group difference was observed in the per-protocol set （PPS） analysis （P=0.464）. The incidence of adverse events did not differ significantly between the two groups （P＞0.05）， and no definite safety signals related to the investigational drug were observed. ConclusionXiaozhen Formula can reduce the incidence of EGFRI-induced skin toxicity， and improve the outcome of rash regression， the patients' quality of life and psychological status in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients.

Objective To explore the distribution and epidemiological characteristics of single virus infection and mixed virus infection in patients with acute respiratory tract infection. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 320 patients with acute respiratory tract infections who visited sentinel hospitals from January 2022 to January 2025. All patients underwent common virus detection and atypical pathogen human rhinovirus (HRV) detection. Results In this study, there were 204 patients (71.83%) with single virus infection, including 87 cases (42.65%) of atypical pathogen human rhinovirus (HRV) infection, 28 cases (13.73%) of influenza A virus infection, 35 cases (17.16%) of influenza B virus infection, 21 cases (10.29%) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, 17 cases (8.33%) of adenovirus (ADV) infection, and 16 cases (7.84%) of parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection. There were 80 patients (28.17%) with mixed virus infection, including 57 cases (71.25%) of influenza virus+RSV mixed infection and 23 cases (28.75%) of ADV+PIV mixed infection. There were significant differences in the detection rates of HRV, RSV, influenza virus+RSV, and ADV+PIV among different age groups (P<0.05). The detection rates of HRV, RSV single and mixed virus were high in age of 0-5 years old, while the detection rate of ADV was high in age of ≥60 years old. Statistical differences were found in the detection rates of HRV, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, ADV, influenza virus+RSV, and ADV+PIV among different seasons (P<0.05). The detection rates of HRV, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and RSV were high in spring and winter, the detection rates of ADV and ADV+PIV were high in summer, the detection rate of PIV was high in spring and autumn, and the detection rate of influenza virus+RSV was high in winter. There were no statistical differences in the detection rates of viral pathogens among patients with different genders (P>0.05). Conclusion Acute respiratory tract infection is mainly caused by single virus infection (HRV is the most common). Mixed infection is more common in influenza virus with RSV. Children aged 0-5 years old and elderly people over 60 years old are susceptible populations. Children have a higher risk of mixed infection, and the epidemic peak is concentrated in winter and spring.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of Zhachong-13 pills.METHODS The contents of agarotetrol， costunolide， hypaconitine， dehydrocostus lactone， mesaconitine， aconitine， liquiritigenin， glycyrrhizic acid， ellagic acid， liquiritin， corilagin， and gallic acid in 18 batches of samples were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry （HPLC-MS/MS） method. Cluster analysis （CA） was performed using the Microbioinformatics online analysis platform. Principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were performed using SIMCA 14.1 software. Random forest， extremely randomized trees， and extreme gradient boosting machine learning models were constructed using the SPSSAU online analysis platform. The comprehensive quality of the samples was evaluated by the entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution （TOPSIS） method.RESULTS The contents of the above 12 components were 104.331-694.382， 652.217-1 085.075， 6.051-130.980， 612.174-1 417.179， 1.018-32.239， 0.953-24.967， 65.552-652.239， 2 019.412-5 385.807， 52.867-4 990.450， 156.307-883.180， 10.142-475.722， and 1 102.863-4 826.396 μg/g， respectively. The results of CA and PCA showed that the 18 batches of samples were divided into two categories： S1-S6， S10-S15 were grouped into one category， while S7-S9 and S16-S18 were grouped into another category. The OPLS-DA results showed that the variable importance in projection values of mesaconitine， glycyrrhizic acid， liquiritin， ellagic acid， hypaconitine， liquiritigenin， agarotetrol， gallic acid， and dehydrocostus lactone were greater than 1. The results of the three machine learning models showed that ellagic acid and hypaconitine had relatively large differential contributions. The entropy weight-TOPSIS results showed that the overall quality of samples from manufacturer B was superior to that of the other four manufacturers.CONCLUSIONS The established method is stable and feasible， and can be used to evaluate the quality of Zhachong-13 pills， in combination with multivariate statistical analysis. Ellagic acid and hypaconitine are differential markers that affect its quality.
