Viruses constitute a significant group of pathogens that have caused numerous fatalities and substantial economic losses in recent years, particularly with the emergence of coronaviruses. While the impact of SARS-CoV-2 appears to be diminishing in daily life, only a limited number of drugs have received approval or emergency use authorization for its treatment. Given the high mutation rate of viral genomes, host-directed agents (HDAs) have emerged as a preferred choice due to their broad applicability and lasting effectiveness. In contrast to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), HDAs offer several advantages, including broad-spectrum antiviral activities, potential efficacy against future emerging viruses, and a lower likelihood of inducing drug resistance. In our review article, we have synthesized known host-directed antiviral targets that span diverse cellular pathways and mechanisms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between host cells and viruses. Additionally, we have provided a brief overview of the development of HDAs based on these targets. We aim for this comprehensive analysis to offer valuable perspectives and insights that can guide future antiviral research and drug development efforts.

Objective To explore the anesthesia management experience in the interventional treatment of pediatric congenital heart diseases (CHD) percutaneously guided by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) on a mobile operating platform. Methods From March to July 2023, a total of 13 patients from remote areas underwent interventional treatment for CHD on the mobile operating platform of Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital. Patients who received non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia were retrospectively included. Results Eight children who had difficulty cooperating with the surgery (due to young age, emotional tension, crying) received monitored anesthesia care with local anesthesia supplemented by sedative and analgesic drugs while maintaining spontaneous breathing under the monitoring and management of an anesthesiologist (i.e., non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia). Among them, there were 5 males and 3 females, with an age of (6.95±3.29) years and a body weight of (19.50±6.04) kg. Through transthoracic echocardiography, they were diagnosed with atrial septal defect (6 patients), residual shunt after patent ductus arteriosus ligation (1 patient), and severe pulmonary valve stenosis (1 patient). The surgery proceeded smoothly, with satisfactory anesthesia and surgical effects, complete analgesia, and satisfactory postoperative recovery. There was 1 patient of body movement and 1 patient of respiratory depression during the operation, and both patients completed the surgery successfully after treatment. All children had no serious surgery- and anesthesia-related complications. The anesthesia time was 40.5 (34.5, 47.5) min, the surgery time was 39.0 (33.0, 45.5) min, and the recovery time was 43.0 (28.0, 52.5) min Conclusion Interventional surgery for CHD guided by TTE at a mobile platform is a minimally invasive approach without radiation damage. Non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia with spontaneous breathing can be safely and effectively implemented in children who cannot cooperate.

Objective:To explore the risk factors and their interation in the incidence of monozygotic twins dur-ing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET).Methods:The cohort for this investigation comprised 4537 pa-tients who underwent IVF-ET with single embryo transfer,resulting in live births at Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital spanning from January 2011 to December 2021.Among this cohort,76 paitients with monozygotic twins were enrolled in the monozygotic twin group.Employing a 5∶1 propensity score matching strategy,380 patients with monozygotic singletons were enrolled in monozygotic singleton group.Using single fac-tor and Lasso regression analysis to correct for the influencing factors of monozygotic twins,using multiple factor Logistic regression to screen for independent risk factors of monozygotic twins and analyze their impact weights,and then performing multiplication and addition interaction analysis on them.Results:The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)between the two groups of patients in terms of age,fertilization method,assisted hatching,embryo type for transfer,embryo transfer method,embryo culture duration,and HCG day estradiol(E2)level.The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that blas-tocyst transfer(OR 2.847,95％CI 1.559-5.199),frozen-thawed embryo transfer(OR 2.640,95％CI 1.354-5.145),and HCG day E2 level(OR 1.783,95％CI 1.033-3.077)were independent risk factors for monozygotic twins(P＜0.05),demonstrating a hierarchical impact sequence of blastocyst transfer(11.60)＞frozen-thawed embryo transfer(6.54)＞HCG day E2(4.32)level.Notably,there was a significant positive additive interaction between embryo transfer type and HCG day E2 level,with an interaction index(S)of 4.690(95％CI 1.896-11.598),relative excess risk due to interaction(RERI)of 4.128(95％CI 2.236-6.019),and attributable propor-tion due to interaction(AP)of 0.661(95％CI 0.536-0.786).Conclusions:Blastocyst transfer,frozen-thawed embryo transfer,and HCG day E2 level are risk factors for monozygotic twins,and there is a significant positive additive interaction between embryo transfer type and HCG day E2 level.
