Objectives:To investigate the relationship between locations of ventricular septal perforation and 30-day prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular septal perforation.Methods:Clinical data of 150 acute myocardial infarction patients with ventricular septal perforation admitted to Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2009 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the difference in 30-day survival rate among patients with different sites of ventricular septal perforation.The impact of locations of ventricular septal perforation on 30-day prognosis of acute myocardial infarction patients was evaluated by multivariate Cox regression analysis(forward stepwise).Results:In acute myocardial infarction patients,the occurrence of anterior ventricular septal perforation was higher than that of posterior ventricular septal perforation(79.5%vs.20.5%,P<0.001).In the anterior ventricular septal perforation patients,females were more common(50.0%vs.22.6%,P=0.006),the blood glucose level was higher([10.51±5.99]mmol/L vs.[8.02±2.81]mmol/L,P=0.026),the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was smaller([50.7±6.1]mm vs.[55.1±5.0]mm,P<0.001),the ventricular septal aperture was also smaller([9.8±4.6]mm vs.[12.6±5.4]mm,P=0.004),30-day mortality was higher(55.8%vs.35.5%,P=0.043)compared with posterior ventricular septal perforation patients.Multivariate Cox regression analysis(forward stepwise)showed that no transthoracic surgery or transcatheter closure(HR=26.344,95%CI:8.261-84.009,P<0.001)and anterior ventricular septal perforation(HR=2.432,95%CI:1.281-4.619,P=0.007)were associated with increased risk of 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular septal perforation.Conclusions:In patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular septal perforation,the incidence of anterior ventricular septal perforation is higher than posterior ventricular septal perforation and the 30-day all-cause mortality of anterior ventricular septal perforation patients is also higher.No transthoracic surgery or transcatheter closure and anterior ventricular septal perforation are the independent influential factors of 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction and ventricular septal perforation.

Objective:To investigate the awareness of medical staff on pharmacovigilance and the current situation of the construction of pharmacovigilance system in medical institutions.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire was sent to medical institutions in China through Professional Committee on Pharmacovigilance Research, China Society for Drug Regulation in the form of Wechat, and medical staff participated voluntarily. The contents of the questionnaire included 23 questions in 4 dimensions, including the basic information of the respondents, their understanding of the concept and regulations of pharmacovigilance, the management of pharmacovigilance, and the reporting and feedback of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)/events in their medical institutions. The survey time was from August 18, 2023 to October 18, 2023. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed descriptively.Results:The collected questionnaires were from medical institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, with a total of over 100 questionnaires collected in each region. A total of 10 991 medical staff participated in the survey, including 5 504 pharmacists, 2 120 doctors, and 3 367 nurses. Among them, 10 131 (92.18%) respondents had heard of pharmacovigilance, 4 511 (41.04%) had participated in pharmacovigilance-related works, 9 368 respondents (86.41%) answered that the ADRs monitoring and management system had been established in medical institutions where they worked, 8 186 respondents (75.51%) answered that leading group for pharmacovigilance (including ADRs monitoring) had been set up in the medical institutions where they worked, 8 605 respondents (79.37%) answered that the pharmacovigilance works was managed by special personnel in the institutions where they worked, 7 859 (72.49%) answered that there were liaison officers in the clinical departments where they worked, 6 043 (55.74%) answered that the individuals would be rewarded for reporting ADRs, 4 809 (44.36%) answered that pharmacovigilance had been included in the daily works and assessment indicators of the departments, and 5 351 (49.36%) answered that reports of ADRs were reviewed by special personnel. Active reporting by medical staff was the main collection channel of ADRs, 3 391 (31.28%) answered they had actively captured ADRs from the hospital information system, and 7 728 (71.28%) answered they had reported ADRs through the hospital information system, 10 061 (92.81%) answered that the monitoring results of ADRs would be regularly fed back in the hospitals where they worked, and 6 239 (57.55%) answered that regular training on pharmacovigilance for all medical staff would be provided in the institutions where they worked.Conclusions:Medical staff have generally heard of pharmacovigilance and are aware of the national pharmacovigilance system, but they still have insufficient understanding of the concept and regulations of pharmacovigilance. The degree of participating in pharmacovigilance works of medical staff in different regions are different. The monitoring and management of ADRs could be paid attention to in the most medical institutions, but the degree of improvement of pharmacovigilance system in different levels of medical institutions is different.

Objective:To summarize the progress in the research of textual quality evaluation of health-related media reports.Methods:A systematic literature retrieval about textual quality evaluation of health-related media reports based on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure was conducted. Information regarding the textual quality definition, evaluation dimensions, indicators and methods of included papers was extracted.Results:A total of 29 study papers were included in this analysis, in which 26 were about retrospective textual quality evaluation of health-related media reports, and 3 were about the model or tool development for textual quality evaluation of health-related media reports. The topics of news reports included: 16 studies on injury, 3 on general health, 3 on infectious disease, 3 on cancer screening and treatment, 3 on chronic non-communicable disease, and 1 on medication risk. The definition of textual quality of health-related media reports and the dimensions of the quality evaluation varied across the studies. The quality evaluation indicators of media reports can be divided into three categories: availability of surveillance information, availability of professional information, and adherence to principles of media reporting. Most studies conducted the quality evaluation manually, with only 2 studies employing semi-automated or automated evaluation methods.Conclusions:No unified definition, set of dimensions, indicators, or automated algorithms exist for evaluating the textual quality of health-related media reports, which limits assessing massive news data effectively. It is necessary to conduct methodological studies on the textual quality evaluation of health-related media reports based on journalism and communication theory, infodemiology, deep learning, natural language processing, text mining, as well as specific disease and injury prevention theory.

Objective:To explore the molecular epidemiological characteristics of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in children with acute respiratory infection (ARI) in Beijing from 2023 to 2024.Methods:In the longitudinal study, 9 834 children with ARI were enrolled from August 2023 to December 2024, including the influenza-like illness (ILI) group from emergency and outpatient department receiving influenza virus (Flu) and HMPV test and the ARI inpatient group for 13 common respiratory pathogen screening test including HMPV, Flu, respiratory syncytial virus, and so on. All respiratory samples positive with HMPV were genotyped by amplifying and sequencing of G gene and further phylogenetic analysis. The χ2 test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare the positive rate and basic clinical data of the 2 groups. Results:Among 9 834 enrolled patient, there were 5 276 male and 4 558 female children, with age 5.4 (1.9, 8.2) years. In ILI group of 1 460 patients, there were 83 cases (5.7%) positive for HMPV, with the age 4.9 (3.6, 6.6) years and children under 6.0 years old 59 cases (71.1%). Among 8 374 ARI inpatients, there were 256 cases (3.1%) positive for HMPV, with age 3.5 (1.3, 6.4) years and children under 6.0 years old 188 cases (73.4%). The HMPV positive rate and the age of children positive for HMPV in ARI inpatient group were significantly lower than that in ILI group (both P<0.001). In December, 2024, the HMPV positive rates of ILI and ARI inpatient group (21.3% (17/80), 15.0% (47/314)) were significantly higher than the total positive rates of each group (both P<0.001). Among 279 subtyped specimens, there were 155 cases (55.6%) belonging to genotype A and 124 cases (44.4%) belonging to genotype B. Sub-lineage A2.2.2 containing 111nt-insertions was predominate one in 2023 with positive ratio 89.2% (91/102), and B2 was predominate in 2024 with positive ratio 64.4% (114/177). Conclusions:From 2023 to 2024, the positive rate of HMPV in the ILI group was higher than that in the ARI inpatient group, suggesting a common epidemic of HMPV infection. Children positive for HMPV in the ARI inpatient group were younger than that in the ILI group. A severe epidemic of HMPV was observed in the winter of 2024, which requires attention. Sub-lineage A2.2.2 with 111nt-duplicate insertions and B2 were the predominant epidemic strains in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and mid-term efficacy of minimally invasive cardiac surgery coronary artery bypass grafting(MICS CABG) in the treatment of multi-vessel coronary artery disease.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 440 patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease at the Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2018 to December 2022. Among these patients, 145 who underwent MICS CABG were designated as the experimental group(MICS group). And 295 patients who underwent conventional sternotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG) were collected during the same period. Propensity score matching was employed at a 1∶1 ratio to match patients in the OPCABG group, serving as the control group.The clinical data during hospitalization and the results of midterm follow-up were analyzed and compared using rank- sum test, Fisher' s exact test, Kaplan- Meier survival curve, and other methods. Results:After propensity matching, the baseline features were well balanced between the two groups( P>0.05), with 111 patients in each group. Patients who received MICS CABG had significantly reduce blood loss[MICS: 600 ml(500 ml, 900 ml) vs. OPCABG: 800 ml(600 ml, 1 000 ml), P<0.001], transfusion rate(MICS: 1.8% vs. OPCABG: 17.1%, P<0.001), and IABP implantation rate(MICS: 3.1% vs. OPCABG: 17.1%, P=0.001). In addition, patients who received MICS CABG had significantly better postoperative LVEF(MICS: 0.59±0.06 vs. OPCABG: 0.56±0.09, P<0.001) than the control group. The average follow-up time was 2.42 years, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACCEs in the mid-term( P=0.748). Conclusion:MICS CABG demonstrates rapid recovery and fewer postoperative complications. For patients with multiple coronary artery lesions, MICS CABG has a similar efficacy in the mid-term as conventional coronary artery bypass surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) with rare fusion subtypes.Methods:Three cases of OFMT with rare fusion subtypes, diagnosed and consulted in the Zhejiang Hospital, Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital, Hangzhou, China and Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center, Ningbo, China from January 2016 to December 2024 were collected. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and targeted RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the immunohistochemical and molecular genetic characteristics of these OFMT. Literature review was also conducted.Results:All three patients were male, with ages of 50, 74, and 58 years, respectively. The tumors were located in the left foot, left thigh, and left lumbar region, respectively, and all presented as slowly growing, painless masses in the skin or subcutaneous tissue. Grossly, the tumors measured 3.5 cm, 6.3 cm, and 5.0 cm in maximum diameter, respectively, with a grayish-white to grayish-yellow, solid, lobulated cut surface. One case exhibited a noticeable myxoid texture. Microscopically, one tumor was located in the superficial dermis, while the other two were in the subcutaneous tissue. The tumors were well-demarcated and showed a lobulated or multinodular growth pattern. None of the cases had a complete surrounding bony shell (only one case had very focal ossification). The tumor cells were monomorphic, short spindle-shaped, oval to epithelioid, and arranged in solid sheets, trabeculae, and small nests within a variably fibromyxoid stroma. Case 1 exhibited abundant pseudorosette-like structures formed by short spindle cells surrounding acellular fibrous stroma. Case 2 showed focal transition of epithelioid tumor cells into fasciculately arranged spindle cells, with extensive stromal hyalinization. Case 3 had a predominantly myxoid stroma with a rich network of thin-walled blood vessels. The tumor cells exhibited mild nuclear atypia with 1-3 mitotic figures per 50 high-power fields. All three cases showed diffuse and strong expression of CD10. Two of the three cases showed nuclear expression of TFE3, while one case showed diffuse and strong expression of desmin and S-100. Targeted RNA sequencing revealed PHF1 (ex12)::TFE3 (ex7) fusion in two cases and MEAF6 (ex5)::PHF1 (5′UTR) fusion in one case, which were further confirmed by FISH study. All three patients underwent tumor resection. Two showed no recurrence during follow-up periods of 98 months and 15 months, respectively, while one experienced local recurrence at 12 months postoperatively.Conclusions:OFMT with rare fusion subtypes often exhibits atypical histological and immunophenotypic features, and lacks a characteristic bony shell. Incorporating TFE3 into the diagnostic IHC panel greatly aids in screening for the cases with rare PHF1::TFE3 fusions. Familiarity with the histological and immunophenotypic characteristics, and differential diagnostic points of these rare OFMT subtypes, is essential for judicious use of molecular genetic tools in achieving a definitive diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of lamb′s tripe extract and vitamin B 12 capsule (LTEVB 12C) on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) at different locations (antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, corpus lesser curvature, and corpus greater curvature). Methods:From August 2011 to January 2013, 715 patients with CAG in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial were enrolled from 16 tertiary first-class hospitals across the country, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, the First Hospital of Jilin University, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, etc., there were 476 cases in the LTEVB 12C group and 239 cases in the placebo group. The patients of the LTEVB 12C group received LTEVB 12C, and the patients of placebo group received LTEVB 12C mimetic, all the medications were taken 3 capsules each time and 3 times a day after meals, and the treatment course of 2 groups were both 6 months. The efficacy evaluation criteria included the effective rate (a decrease of ≥1 in histopathological score compared with baseline after 6 months of treatment) and the reversal rate (a decrease of ≥ 2 in histopathological score compared with baseline after 6 months of treatment in the patients with moderate to severe CAG). The impact of lesion sites on the therapeutic effects of LTEVB 12C was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The two-way unordered Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test considering the center effect and Pearson chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The effective rates of chronic inflammation at the antrum greater curvature and corpus greater curvature (23.3%, 110/473 vs. 13.0%, 31/239; 20.3%, 96/472 vs. 12.6%, 30/239), the effective rates of atrophy at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, corpus lesser curvature, and the corpus greater curvature (27.0%, 118/437 vs. 15.7%, 34/216; 29.2%, 126/432 vs. 18.5%, 38/205; 27.8%, 121/435 vs. 16.7%, 36/216; 32.5%, 127/391 vs. 19.8%, 37/187; 33.0%, 119/361 vs. 21.8%, 39/179), and the effective rates of intestinal metaplasia at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the corpus lesser curvature (45.0%, 112/249 vs. 29.8%, 31/104; 53.8%, 86/160 vs. 33.9%, 21/62; 45.8%, 103/225 vs. 24.0%, 25/104; 51.9%, 83/160 vs. 28.3%, 17/60) of the LTEVB 12C group were all higher than those of the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=10.76, 6.39, 9.69, 7.91, 11.05, 9.62, 8.57, 5.20, 7.11, 12.45, and 6.73; all P<0.05). The reversal rates of chronic inflammation at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature (5.2%, 12/231 vs. 0, 0/123; 4.7%, 8/170 vs. 0, 0/88), the reversal rates of atrophy at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, corpus lesser curvature, and the corpus greater curvature (6.8%, 22/323 vs. 1.3%, 2/151; 9.2%, 29/315 vs. 1.4%, 2/144; 14.2%, 38/267 vs. 2.5%, 3/121; 20.8%, 35/168 vs. 5.8%, 4/69), and the reversal rates of intestinal metaplasia at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the corpus lesser curvature (29.8%, 39/131 vs. 9.1%, 4/44; 41.0%, 32/78 vs. 12.5%, 3/24; 33.3%, 44/132 vs. 4.8%, 3/63; 50.0%, 37/74 vs. 8.7%, 2/23) of the LTEVB 12C group were all higher than those of the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=6.58, 5.12, 5.60, 8.61, 11.43, 6.59, 7.30, 4.95, 15.92, 7.62; all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the effective rates and reversal rates of active inflammation at different locations between the LTEVB 12C group and the placebo group (all P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis (taking the antrum lesser curvature as the reference) further confirmed that the reversal rates of chronic inflammation ( OR=0.22, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.07 to 0.67; OR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.80), atrophy ( OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49; OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49), and intestinal metaplasia ( OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.77; OR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.52) at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature were all higher than those at the antrum lesser curvature, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no statistically siginificant differences in the reversal rates of the aforementioned pathological features between the antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the antrum lesser curvature (all P>0.05). Conclusion:LTEVB 12C can achieve good efficacy in the treatment of CAG, and the chronic inflammation, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia at multiple locations are improved, especially at the corpus lesser curvature and the corpus greater curvature.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of Daoqi (directing qi flowing) acupuncture technique in Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic) for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS: Sixty patients with moderate-to-severe OSAHS were randomly divided into a Daoqi acupuncture group (30 cases) and a conventional acupuncture group (30 cases, 1 case dropped out). In the Daoqi acupuncture group, Daoqi acupuncture technique in Huangdi Neijing was applied at Shanglianquan (Extra), Fengfu (GV16), and bilateral Lieque (LU7), Zhaohai (KI6); in the conventional acupuncture group, conventional acupuncture was applied at Shanglianquan (Extra), Fengfu (GV16), Yamen (GV15), and bilateral Lieque (LU7), Zhaohai (KI6), Zusanli (ST36), Fenglong (ST40). The treatment was adopted once every other day, 3 times a week, 4 weeks as one course and 3 courses were required totally in both groups. Before and after treatment, the polysomnography (PSG) indexes [apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), hypopnea index (HI), apnea index (AI), longest apnea duration, lowest nocturnal SaO₂ (LSaO₂)], and scores of Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), World Health Organization quality of life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) were observed, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment in the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the AHI, HI, AI and longest apnea duration were reduced compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0.01), the LSaO₂ was increased in the Daoqi acupuncture group (P<0.01); in the Daoqi acupuncture group, the AHI, HI, AI and longest apnea duration were lower than those in the conventional acupuncture group (P<0.05), and the LSaO₂ was higher than that in the conventional acupuncture group (P<0.05). After treatment, the ESS and PSQI scores were decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.01), while the WHOQOL-BREF scores were increased compared with those before treatment (P<0.01) in the two groups; in the Daoqi acupuncture group, the ESS and PSQI scores were lower than those in the conventional acupuncture group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the WHOQOL-BREF score was higher than that in the conventional acupuncture group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.3% (28/30) in the Daoqi acupuncture group, which was higher than 82.8% (24/29) in the conventional acupuncture group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Daoqi acupuncture technique in Huangdi Neijing can effectively treat moderate-to-severe OSAHS patients, improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life, and has the advantages i.e. simpler acupoints selection and gentler stimulation.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Huayu Mingmu prescription on retinal angiogenesis and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin （PI3K/Akt/mTOR）-hypoxia inducible factor-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor A （HIF-1α/VEGFA） signaling pathway in diabetic retinopathy （DR） rats. MethodsSixty-four SPF-grade male SD rats were used in the study. Eleven rats were randomly selected as the normal group， while the remaining 53 rats were fed a high-sugar， high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozotocin （STZ） intraperitoneal injection to establish a type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） rat model. DR model evaluation was performed after 12 weeks of diabetes. The rats were then divided into model， low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Huayu Mingmu prescription （9.29， 18.57， 37.14 g·kg^-1）， and a calcium dobesilate group （0.16 g·kg^-1）， with 10 rats in each group. The rats were orally administered the corresponding doses of Huayu Mingmu prescription and calcium dobesilate. The normal and model groups received equal volumes of physiological saline via gavage for 8 consecutive weeks. Retinal vascular changes were observed through fundus photography， and pathological changes in retinal tissue were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Retinal microvascular pathological changes were examined through retinal vascular network preparation and periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. Immunofluorescence （IF） was used to detect the expression of VEGFA and angiopoietin-2 （Ang-2） in retinal tissue. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to assess the mRNA expression of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group exhibited significant pathological changes in retinal tissue， including the appearance of acellular capillaries， as well as significant endothelial cell （E） proliferation and pericyte （P） loss （P<0.01）. The E/P was significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Protein and mRNA expression levels of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the expression of Ang-2 protein was significantly elevated （P<0.01）. In contrast， retinal tissue in the treatment groups showed alleviated pathological changes， with reduced endothelial cell proliferation and pericyte loss （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Among the treatment groups， the high-dose Huayu Mingmu prescription and the calcium dobesilate group exhibited a decreased E/P （P<0.01）. Protein and mRNA expression levels of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the expression of Ang-2 protein was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionHuayu Mingmu prescription can intervene in retinal neovascularization in DR rats， delay the progression of DR， and its mechanism may be related to antagonizing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR-HIF-1α/VEGFA signaling pathway.
