Human herpesvirus-6B (HHV-6B) reactivation is a significant contributor to nonrelapse mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This retrospective analysis describes three cases of HHV-6B reactivation following allo-HSCT, all of which achieved viral clearance with maribavir treatment following failure or intolerance to first-line antiviral therapy with foscarnet sodium. One patient diagnosed with HHV-6B encephalitis recovered without neurological sequelae. No adverse drug reactions to maribavir were observed. These findings provide preliminary evidence that maribavir may serve as an effective and safe salvage therapy for HHV-6B reactivation in patients receiving allo-HSCT.

Objective:To explore the impact of the two-way referral model on compliance and prognosis in patients with heart failure.Methods:This bidirectional cohort study enrolled chronic heart failure (CHF) patients treated at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University or designated primary hospitals between March 2018 and March 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups based on referral status: two-way referral group (participating in the referral model with≥1 follow-up visit at primary hospitals) and the core hospital group (receiving treatment and follow-up exclusively at Qilu Hospital). Baseline clinical characteristics were collected and compared between groups. Patients underwent followed-up, with primary endpoints including follow-up rate, drug (β-blockers, angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers (ARB)/angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists) utilization rate and target dose achievement rate. Secondary endpoints encompassed changes from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), plus cardiovascular mortality and heart failure rehospitalization. Generalized linear mixed models analyzed longitudinal trends in LVEF, LVEDd, and NT-proBNP levels. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression evaluated LVEF recovery rates, supplemented by subgroup analyses. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing target dose achievement rate for β-blockers and ACEI/ARB/ARNI therapies in CHF patients.Results:A total of 357 patients were enrolled, aged 53 (41, 63) years, including 256 males (71.7%). 157 patients were in the two-way referral group and 200 patients in the core hospital-treated group. Compared with the core hospital-treated group, the two-way referral group had lower baseline LVEF (28 (22, 34)% vs. 31 (23, 36)%, P=0.021) and systolic blood pressure (116 (104, 125) mmHg vs. 121 (109, 134) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), P=0.010). The 12-month follow-up rate of the two-way referral group was higher than the core hospital-treated group (73.8% vs. 56.0%, P=0.004). No significant between-group differences were observed in drug utilization rate of β-blockers, ACEI/ARB/ARNI, or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors during follow-up (all P>0.05), while mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists use showed a declining trend in both groups. Although the core hospital-treated group had higher target dose achievement rates for β-blockers (65.4% vs. 49.3%, P=0.042) and ACEI/ARB/ARNI (79.8% vs. 65.8%, P=0.046) than the two-way referral group, multivariate logistic regression indicated that the two-way referral model was not a negative predictor for these outcomes (all P>0.05). Both groups showed improved NT-proBNP, LVEDd, and LVEF from baseline (all P<0.001) with no significant difference in trends between groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the composite incidence (7.6% vs. 6.5%, P=0.674) and cumulative incidence (log-rank P=0.684) of cardiovascular death and heart failure rehospitalization at 12 months between two groups. Conclusion:The two-way referral model demonstrates advantages in improving medication adherence, drug utilization rates, and targetdoseachievement rates among CHF patients. This model not only promotes cardiac functional recovery but also reduces risks of cardiovascular mortality and heart failure rehospitalization, achieving comparable therapeutic and management outcomes to those observed in core hospital-treated patients.

Objective:To explore the application value of single source dual energy CT (DECT) scanning technique in improving the image quality of the pancreas.Methods:Imaging data of 21 patients with normal pancreas and 36 patients with pancreas related diseases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from July 2021 to August 2021 were collected. All the patients first underwent multi-slice CT (MDCT) scan with no-contrast, and then dynamic enhanced MDCT scan. And the DECT scan was used in the delay period. Virtual single energy images (VMI, 40~100keV) of normal pancreas and mixed energy images of pancreatic lesions (PI, 80 and 140kVp) were obtained. The regions of interest (ROI) of fat on abdominal wall, normal pancreas and abdominal aorta were delineated, the CT values and standard deviation (SD) of each ROI were measured and recorded, and the pancreatic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each energy image were calculated. The objective index and subjective score of VMI(40-100keV) and PI (80kVp and 140kVp) with iodine (water) base map and VMI best CNR were compared between groups. The correlation between VMI(40-100keV) and PI(80, 140kVp) with iodine (water) base map and VMIbest CNR was analyzed by univariate regression.Results:In VMI(40-100keV) of normal pancreas, the highest SNR value was VMI best CNR and iodine (water) base map, and the highest CNR values were VMI 60keV and iodine (water) base map. There were significant differences on SNR and CNR values between different energy VMI and iodine (water) base map ( P<0.05). Among the four images of PI 80kVp, PI 140kVp, VMI best CNR and iodine (water) base map for pancreatic lesions, the SNR and CNR values of iodine (water) base map were the highest. The SNR and CNR values of VMI best CNR were higher than those of PI 80kVp, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The lesion significance and edge sharpness score of iodine (water) base map was the highest, which was better than other groups; the lesion significance and edge sharpness score of VMI best CNR was better than PI 140kVp, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of univariate regression analysis showed that the SNR values of PI 80kVp, PI 140kVp and VMI best CNR for pancreatic lesions were positively correlated with those of the iodine (water) base map ( P<0.05), the CNR values of PI 140kVp and VMI best CNR images were positively correlated with the iodine (water) base map ( P<0.05), and the SNR and CNR values of PI 140kVp were positively correlated with VMI best CNR ( P<0.05). Conclusions:VMI with different energy and iodine (water) base maps can be obtained by single source DECT enhanced scanning of pancreas related diseases. The VMI best CNR was the best among all VMIs, while the SNR and CNR values of iodine (water) base maps were the highest in all images. The VMI best CNR and iodine (water) base maps can improve the image quality of pancreas related diseases.
