Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of different endovascular interventional treatments for extracranial carotid artery pseudoaneurysms.Method:The clinical data of 48 patients with extracranial carotid artery pseudoaneurysms treated with multiple endovascular procedures were retrospectively analyzed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2012 to February 2024. The patients presented with a total of 48 extracranial carotid pseudoaneurysms, ranging in diameter from 2.5 to 34.2 mm [mean (12.0±9.6) mm]. The lesions were distributed as follows: 25 in the internal carotid artery, 16 in the external carotid artery and 7 in the common carotid artery. The selection of endovascular interventional techniques was tailored to individual cases according to the pseudoaneurysm size, anatomical location, morphological configuration, and specific features of the parent artery. Perioperative adverse events were monitored, and the efficacy of individualized endovascular interventional therapy was evaluated based on immediate postoperative and 6-month follow-up digital subtraction angiography (DSA) findings, including aneurysm occlusion and in-stent patency.Result:The treatment modalities included parent artery coiling occlusion ( n=16), overlapping braided carotid stent implantation ( n=3), covered stent placement ( n=23), combined implantation of covered stent and braided carotid stent implantation ( n=4) and flow-diverting stent implantation ( n=2) based on the characteristics of the pseudoaneurysms. Endovascular interventional procedures were successfully completed in 47 patients (technical success rate: 97.9%). Immediate postoperative DSA revealed residual pseudoaneurysm at the distal end of the stent in 1 case. Among the remaining cases, complete aneurysm obliteration or faint opacification was observed, with stent lumen patency confirmed in 31 cases and complete parent artery occlusion achieved in 16 cases. In one case involving a patient who underwent flow-diverting stent implantation, a pulsatile vascular murmur reappeared in the neck one week postoperatively. Follow-up DSA revealed stent migration into the aneurysm sac. After retrieval and removal of the displaced stent, combined implantation of a covered stent and a braided carotid artery stent was performed. Postoperative angiography confirmed complete aneurysm occlusion and patent parent artery blood flow. No severe perioperative adverse events (e.g., aneurysm rupture) were observed. During a postoperative follow-up period of 6.2-24.2 months, DSA at 6 months revealed mild in-stent or distal segment stenosis in 2 patients who underwent covered stent implantation. The remaining 46 patients exhibited complete aneurysm occlusion with no significant stenosis observed within the stent lumen. At the final follow-up, all patients demonstrated resolution or significant alleviation of clinical symptoms. Conclusion:Individualized endovascular interventional therapy demonstrates favorable safety and efficacy profiles in managing extracranial carotid artery pseudoaneurysms.

Objective To evaluate the transition rules of normal body mass index(BMI),overweight and metabolic syndrome(MetS)in patients with major depressive disorder(MDD).Methods Patients with MDD who had multiple admission records between Jan 2016 and Nov 2021 in Beijing Anding Hospital,Capital Medical University were included.Based on the overweight and metabolic syndrome status assessed at each admission,the patients were categorized into three states:normal BMI,overweight and metabolic syndrome.A multi-state Markov model was used to analyze the transition intensity and transition frequency between three states and the influence of covariates on transitions.Results A total of 892 records of 398 subjects were included,with a median age of 56 years old and 31.4% males.The median follow-up period was 40 months.The multi-state model showed that there were 494 transitions between the three states,of which 5.1% moved from normal BMI to overweight and 5.5% moved from overweight to MetS.The intensity of transition was the highest from overweight to MetS,9.52 times greater than overweight to normal BMI.After 48.53 months,MDD patients with normal BMI began to transition to MetS.For overweight MDD patients,the transition to MetS started after 8.77 months.MDD patients with normal BMI or overweight had 31.4% and 50.4% probabilities of developing Mets after 36 months.For MDD patients comorbid with MetS,the probability of staying at MetS was 51.2% after 36 months.Multivariate analysis showed that being unmarried was a risk factor against developing overweight in normal BMI MDD patients,while a higher level of education was a protective factor against developing MetS in overweight MDD patients.Conclusion MDD patients exhibited a higher intensity and risk of developing MetS,and it is not easy to reverse MetS,suggesting that BMI management and MetS intervention should be strengthened in MDD patients.

Objective In order to investigate the patients'medical experiences,willingness to use online diagnosis and treatment in the context of"Internet+medical health",and the factors influencing these choice of medical channels.Methods We conducted an online and offline sampling survey through a questionnaire.1 215 questionnaires were distributed,and 1 010 were valid.After looking at the basic details of the survey participants,we used a logistic regression model to find out what affects patients'willingness to see a doctor online.Results Whether patients have solved their own problem,and the degree of help on the Internet play a significant role in the willingness to recommend Internet diagnosis and treatment.In addition,with the de-crease of age,the improvement of education level,the increase of economic development level of the city where the respondents live,and the decrease of medical expenditure in the past year,residents'willingness to use Internet diagnosis and treatment will show a gradually increasing trend.Conclusion Internet diagnosis and treatment in the future still need to further meet the needs of multi-group medical services,improve and perfect service quality and medical insurance management,to achieve"full node"coverage,"full chain"supervision.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of serum microRNA-141-3p(miR-141-3p)and Kelch like epichlorohydrin associated protein 1(KEAP1)in neonatal acute respiratory dis-tress syndrome(NARDS).Methods A total of 121 children with NARDS admitted to the hospital from Janu-ary 2022 to March 2024(NARDS group)and 65 healthy neonates during the same period(control group)were selected.According to the degree of disease,the children with NARDS were divided into the mild NARDS group(4≤oxygen index<8,48 cases),the moderate NARDS group(8≤oxygen index<16,46 ca-ses),the severe NARDS group(oxygen index≥16,27 cases),and the children with NARDS were divided into the death group(18 cases)and the survival group(103 cases)according to the 28-day prognosis.Serum miR-141-3p and KEAP1 levels were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The correlation between serum miR-141-3p and KEAP1 levels in children with NARDS was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient.The correlation between serum miR-141-3p and KEAP1 levels and oxygen index in children with NARDS was analyzed by Spearman correlation coefficient.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to analyze the predictive efficacy of serum miR-141-3p and KEAP1 levels on the death in children with NARDS.Results Serum miR-141-3p level in the NARDS group was lower than that in the control group,and KEAP1 level in the NARDS group was higher than that in the control group(t=14.288,12.596,P<0.001).There was a binding site between miR-141-3p and KEAP1 at the 3'-untranslated region 131-138.Pearson correlation showed that serum miR-141-3p was negatively correlated with KEAP1 level in children with NARDS(r=-0.745,P<0.001).The levels of ser-um miR-141-3p increased sequentially in the severe NARDS group,moderate NARDS group,and mild NARDS group,while the level of KEAP1 decreased sequentially(F=185.469,113.126,P<0.001).Spearman correla-tion coefficient showed that oxygen index in children with NARDS was negatively correlated with serum miR-141-3p level(r=-0.815,P<0.001)and positively correlated with serum KEAP1 level(r=0.827,P<0.001).Serum miR-141-3p level in the dead group was lower than that in the survival group,and KEAP1 level was higher than that in the surviving group(t=4.213,4.495,P<0.001).The area under the curve of the combined prediction of serum miR-141-3p and KEAP1 levels for the death in children with NARDS was 0.878(95%CI:0.806-0.930),which was greater than 0.783(95%CI:0.699-0.853)and 0.786(95%CI:0.702-0.855)predicted by serum miR-141-3p and KEAP1 levels alone(Z=2.963,2.021,P<0.05).Conclu-sion The serum miR-141-3p level is decreased and the KEAP1 level is increased in children with NARDS,which is associated with worsening of the disease and poor prognosis.The combination of serum miR-141-3p and KEAP1 levels has high predictive efficacy for death in children with NARDS.

Objective To observe the effects of Bushen Antai Mixture on angiogenesis at the maternal fetal interface in recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA)mice;To explore its mechanism in treating RSA based on the VEGF/Hippo/YAP pathway.Methods RSA mouse model and normal pregnancy mouse were constructed using Clark classic method.RSA model mice were randomly divided into model group,progesterone group,Bushen Antai Mixture low-,medium-and high-dosage groups,and normal pregnant mice were used as normal group,with 10 mice in each group.Starting from the first day of pregnancy,each medication group was given the corresponding medication by gavage for 15 days.The absorption rate of mouse embryos was calculated,the morphology of decidual tissue were observed by HE staining,the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF and Hippo/YAP pathway-related molecules of decidual tissue were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the absorption rate of embryos in the model group significantly increased(P<0.01),the arrangement of decidual tissue cells were disordered,edematous and degenerated,some nuclei disappeared,the vascular density decreased,the mRNA expressions of VEGF,Yes associated protein(YAP),large tumor suppressor factor(LATS)1 and LATS2 in decidual tissue significantly decreased(P<0.01),the protein expression of VEGF decreased(P<0.01),and the protein expressions of p-YAP/YAP and p-LATS/LATS significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the absorption rate of embryos in each dosage group of Bushen Antai Mixture was significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01),the cells in the decidual tissue were arranged in an orderly manner,and edema degeneration was reduced,the mRNA expressions of VEGF,YAP,LATS1 and LATS2 in decidual tissue significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the protein expression of VEGF significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),the protein expressions of p-YAP/YAP and p-LATS/LATS decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Bushen Antai Mixture can promote the expressions of VEGF,YAP,LATS by activating VEGF/Hippo/YAP signaling pathway,promote angiogenesis at the maternal-fetal interface,reduce the pregnancy loss rate,and play a therapeutic effect of RSA.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib combined with R-CHOP in patients with high-risk nongerminal center B-cell (non-GCB) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with extranodal involvement.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted on 35 patients who were seen at Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital and were immunohistochemically confirmed to have non-GCB DLBCL, had an International Prognostic Index score of 3 - 5, and confirmed to have ≥2 extranodal involvement on PET/CT. The treatment comprised the standard R-CHOP regimen combined with oral orelabrutinib (150 mg/day) for six cycles. In patients who developed neutropenia or grade 3 neutropenia with fever during treatment, administration of prophylactic pegylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 48 h after the end of chemotherapy was started on the next cycle. The endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) rate, progression-free survival (PFS) time, overall survival (OS) time, and safety assessment.Results:The 35 eligible patients enrolled had a median age of 53 years (21 - 72 years) and a median follow-up time of 28 months (12 - 36 months) ; 19 patients had double-expressor (DE) status. The ORR was 88.6%, and the CR rate was 68.6%. The 2-year PFS and OS rates were 68.6% (95% CI 54.0% - 7.2%) and 87.5% (95% CI 76.7% - 100%), respectively. The 2-year PFS rate was significantly lower in patients with DE status than in those without DE status [54.4% (95% CI 35.4% - 84.2%) vs. 85.2% (95% CI 68.3% - 100%), P=0.048]. Serious adverse events included febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, and atrial flutter, but no treatment-related deaths. Conclusion:In patients with high-risk non-GCB DLBCL and extranodal involvement, the combination of orelabrutinib with R-CHOP regimen had good efficacy and manageable toxicity.

Objective:To develop a treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was constructed through a literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and cognitive testing. This study conducted a preliminary survey of 379 patients with MM and a formal survey of 865 patients from the hematology departments of 155 hospitals nationwide from February 2024 to March 2024. The final scale was obtained after conducting item analysis and reliability and validity tests on the initial scale.Results:The constructed scale contains 36 items covering six domains: physiological, psychological, social, treatment side effects, general health, and others. In the preliminary survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.597 to 0.939, and the test-retest reliability was 0.747 ( P<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis extracted eight common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 60.058%. In the formal survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.484 to 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.835 ( P<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a comparative fit index of 0.750, a root-mean-square error of approximation of 0.090, and a root-mean-square residual of 0.067. Conclusion:The treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with MM designed in this study exhibited good reliability and validity, reflecting the impact of treatment on the quality of life of patients. This scale can provide a reference to clinicians for assessing the disease status of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of donor characteristics on the prognosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients undergoing haplo-identical transplantation (HIDT) .Methods:A retrospective analysis of 203 MDS patients who received HIDT was conducted to evaluate how donor factors influenced transplant outcomes.Results:In MDS patients undergoing haploidentical transplantation, donors over 50 years were associated with higher EBV reactivation (2-year cumulative incidence 42.9% vs 22.0% for <50 years old; P=0.010). Female donors were linked to increased severe chronic GVHD compared with male donors (2-year incidence 11.9% vs 4.0% ; P=0.017). Additionally, 2-year overall survival (OS) was slightly lower with female donors than male donors (56.6% vs 69.7% ), but the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.073). Donor-recipient blood type did not affect post-transplant OS or cumulative relapse rates. Donor-recipient kinship analysis revealed that child donors, compared to haploidentical sibling or parent donors, had lower rates of grade Ⅱ–Ⅳ acute GVHD (27.2% vs 45.7% vs 53.5%, P=0.007) and 2-year EBV reactivation (13.9% vs 29.3% vs 38.9%, P=0.001). For donors under 20 years, donor gender did not significantly affect 2-year OS ( P=0.913), relapse-free survival ( P=0.716), or 100-day incidence of grade Ⅱ–Ⅳ acute GVHD ( P=0.359) . Conclusion:For MDS patients undergoing HIDT, donors over 50 should be avoided. Male and child donors are preferred, while donor gender does not significantly affect outcomes if the donor is under 20 years old.

OBJECTIVE To provide empirical basis for promoting the dynamic adjustment of the pharmaceutical care catalogue and the formulation of policies such as hierarchical payment of medical insurance. METHODS A multicenter cross- sectional survey method was adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey among 424 inpatients in 22 tertiary medical institutions in 12 prefecture-level cities of Hubei Province to evaluate their demand for pharmaceutical care， willingness to pay and preference for service forms. Combined with univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis， the influencing factors and key factors that affect patients’ willingness to pay for pharmaceutical care were identified. RESULTS Only 39.86% of the patients were aware of pharmaceutical care or pharmacists， and 89.62% of the patients hope to receive pharmaceutical care. Among the 16 types of pharmaceutical care， the patients surveyed had a relatively high recognition rate for guidance on drug usage and dosage， notification of medication precautions， and the identification， prevention and handling of adverse drug reactions. 96.70%， 95.30%， and 94.12% respectively expressed strong approval and approval. The demand for services such as insurance-related policy consultation， popular science on the mechanism of drug action， and assessment of the combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicines was relatively low， with 61.65%， 68.47%， and 68.47% expressing strong approval and approval respectively. The positive influencing factors of willingness to pay were household monthly income ＞ 5 000 yuan （OR＝1.742）， awareness of pharmaceutical care or pharmacists （OR＝3.620）， and the desire to receive pharmaceutical care （OR＝4.686） （P＜0.05）， while self-rating health as “good” （OR＝0.390） was a negative influencing factor （P＜0.05）. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases （54.48%） and antihypertensive drugs （45.05%） were the service scenarios that the surveyed patients most hope to be covered. 85.14% of the patients preferred “service when xiaochnye@126.com needed”， with a single service duration of less than 10 minutes being appropriate （84.43%）， and the willingness to pay within 20 yuan being the main type （85.38%）. CONCLUSIONS Based on the characteristics of patients’ needs and payment behaviors， it is suggested that our country could consider establishing a hierarchical payment mechanism for pharmaceutical care， and focus on differentiated design in combination with diseases and medication situations. At the same time， the rights， responsibilities and service standards of resident pharmacists in the links such as medication reorganization and medical order review should be further clarified to comprehensively enhance the clinical value and policy operability of pharmaceutical care.
