Since the first successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was performed globally in 2002, the TAVR technology has become increasingly mature. With more than a decade of development in China, its application experience, device research and development, procedural improvements, evidence-based medicine, and guideline updates have continuously progressed, leading to a significant increase in the number of procedures conducted. Compared to traditional surgical operations, TAVR has different postoperative monitoring points and principles for the prevention and management of complications, necessitating the formulation of corresponding monitoring and treatment protocols that align with the technical characteristics of the procedure. This guideline is based on clinical practice and incorporates both domestic and international literature as well as the experiences of Fuwai Hospital. It distills and organizes routine postoperative monitoring practices, process optimization, and complication management for TAVR, establishing a set of practical guidelines for postoperative monitoring in China. These guidelines have strong practical value for optimizing postoperative management strategies and preventing and managing complications, which is beneficial for early functional recovery of patients, shortening hospital stays, and reducing complication rates. They provide guidance and reference for domestic peers and support the standardized development and quality improvement of postoperative management for TAVR in China.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and mechanism of the combination of arsenic trioxide （ATO） and its dimethylarsinic acid （DMAV） metabolite on apoptosis of human acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cells by affecting the balance of metabolic reaction. MethodsThe rats were injected with the same amount of sterile normal saline， ATO（1.6 mg·kg^-1）， and DMAV（4， 8， 16， and 32 mg·kg^-1） combined with ATO（1.6 mg·kg^-1）， respectively， to obtain the corresponding drug-containing serum. The effect of drug-containing serum on the proliferation of NB4 cells was detected by the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8 ）method. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry with Annexin-V-FITC/PI double staining. Intracellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） accumulation was detected by flow cytometry using fluorescent probe DCFH-DA. The changes of mitochondrial membrane potential （Δψm） were detected by the fluorescence probe JC-1. Western blot detected the expression of apoptosis-related proteins， namely B-cell lymphoma-2（Bcl-2）-associated X protein（Bax）/Bcl-2， Cytochrome C， cleaved Caspase-9， and cleaved Caspase-3， as well as c-Jun N-terminal kinase（JNK） phosphorylation levels. Results①The Combination of the two drugs had a higher proliferation inhibition rate and more apoptosis than ATO alone. ②The combination of two drugs can significantly increase the production of ROS compared with any single treatment group. ③The Δψm was significantly reduced in the two-drug combination group compared with any single treatment group. ④Compared with either group， the combination group significantly released Cytochrome C， significantly down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2， and up-regulated the expression of Bax， cleaved Caspase-3， and cleaved Caspase-9. ⑤The phosphorylation level of JNK was significantly up-regulated in the two-drug combination group compared with any single treatment group. ConclusionThe combination of DMAV and ATO may synergistically induce mitochondrial apoptosis through ROS-mediated oxidative stress， triggering Δψm dissipation and Cytochrome C release. By activating Caspase-9/Caspase-3 and the phosphorylation level of JNK， the Bcl-2 family protein （Bax/Bcl-2） was regulated to promote the apoptosis of NB4 cells.

ObjectiveTo analyze the quantity-quality transfer of standard decoction of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma（GRR） decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting， and to provide reference for quality control and application development of the decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting. MethodTen batches of representative GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting and their standard decoctions were prepared by standard process， and high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） fingerprint of the standard decoction was established and performed on an Agilent EC-C₁₈ column（4.6 mm×150 mm， 2.7 μm） with acetonitrile（A）-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution（B） as the mobile phase for gradient elution（0-23 min， 18%-21%A； 23-35 min， 21%-28%A； 35-80 min， 28%-32%A）， and the detection wavelength was 203 nm. Then similarity evaluation， principal component analysis（PCA） and partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） of fingerprint of the standard decoction were performed to screen the differential components with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1. Quantitative analysis was carried out on the screened known differential components， and combined with the indicators of the dry extract rate and the transfer rate， to explore the differences in the quantity-quality transfer between the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting. ResultThe fingerprint similarity of the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting was more than 0.950， and 18 common peaks were identified， including 9 identified common peaks. The results of PCA and PLS-DA showed that there were some differences in the contents of index components between the two standard decoctions. The contents of ginsenoside Rg₁， Re and Ro in GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting were higher than those in traditional decoction pieces， while the contents of ginsenoside Rb₁， Rc ， Rb₂ and Rd were lower than those in traditional decoction pieces. The contents of ginsenoside Rg₁， Re， Rb₁ and Ro in the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting were higher than those in the standard decoction of traditional decoction pieces， while the contents of ginsenoside Rc ， Rb₂ and Rd were comparable between the two standard decoctions. Compared with the standard decoction of the traditional decoction pieces， the average transfer rates of ginsenoside Rg₁， Rb₁， Rc， Rb₂ and dry extract rate of the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting were significantly increased（P<0.05）， and the average transfer rate of ginsenoside Re and Rd also increased， but the difference was not statistically significant. ConclusionThe dry extract rate， content and transfer rate of index components of standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting are better than those of the standard decoction of traditional decoction pieces， which can provides data support for the subsequent clinical application of fresh cutting products.

BackgroundThe occurrence rate of dangerous behaviors in patients with severe mental disorders is higher than that of the general population. In China， there is limited research on the prediction of dangerous behaviors in community-dwelling patients with severe mental disorders， particularly in terms of predicting models using data mining techniques other than traditional methods. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of dangerous behaviors in community-dwelling patients with severe mental disorders and testing whether the classification decision tree model is superior to the Logistic regression model. MethodsA total of 11 484 community-dwelling patients with severe mental disorders who had complete follow-up records from 2013 to 2022 were selected on December 2023. The data were divided into a training set （n=9 186） and a testing set （n=2 298） in an 8∶2 ratio. Logistic regression and classification decision trees were separately used to establish predictive models in the training set. Model discrimination and calibration were evaluated in the testing set. ResultsDuring the follow-up period， 1 115 cases （9.71%） exhibited dangerous behaviors. Logistic regression results showed that urban residence， poverty， guardianship， intellectual disability， history of dangerous behaviors， impaired insight and positive symptoms were risk factors for dangerous behaviors （OR=1.778， 1.459， 2.719， 1.483， 3.890， 1.423， 2.528， 2.124， P<0.01）. Being aged ≥60 years， educated， not requiring prescribed medication and having normal social functioning were protective factors for dangerous behaviors （OR=0.594， 0.824， 0.422， 0.719， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The predictive effect in the testing set showed an area under curve （AUC） of 0.729 （95% CI： 0.692~0.766）， accuracy of 70.97%， sensitivity of 59.71%， and specificity of 72.05%. The classification decision tree results showed that past dangerous situations， positive symptoms， overall social functioning score， economic status， insight， household registration， disability status and age were the influencing factors for dangerous behaviors. The predictive effect in the testing set showed an AUC of 0.721 （95% CI： 0.705~0.737）， accuracy of 68.28%， sensitivity of 64.46%， and specificity of 68.60%. ConclusionThe classification decision tree does not have a greater advantage over the logistic regression model in predicting the risk of dangerous behaviors in patients with severe mental disorders in the community. ［Funded by Chengdu Medical Research Project （number， 2020052）］

Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly contagious zoonotic pathogen, responsible for a relatively high mortality in human and posing a serious threat to human health. There are currently no licensed vaccines or antiviral drugs. Preclinical studies on NiV vaccines with different strategies are mainly based on NiV glycoprotein (G) and/or fusion protein (F). Internationally, three NiV vaccine candidates are currently in the Phase I clinical stage. The risk of Nipah virus transmitted to China is relatively high. In order to cope with potential future epidemics, China should develop NiV prevention and control strategies, and accelerate Nipah virus-related technology reserves and vaccine development. This article introduces NiV from the aspects of microbiology, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and vaccine research, and puts forward prevention and control suggestions in light of the risk of NiV transmission to China and China′s national conditions, hoping to provide reference for NiV vaccine research and development.
