ObjectiveTo prepare a rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction by ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery, and to observe the effect of Shenfu Yixin granules on the mitochondrial dynamics of rats with heart failure. MethodFifty SD male rats were randomly taken ten as the sham operation group and the rest as modeling group. The rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction was prepared by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery. According to the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) on the 28th day after operation, the model rats were randomly divided into the model group, Shenfu Yixin granule low-dose and high-dose groups(3.011, 15.055 g·kg-1) and sacubitril valsartan sodium group(20.83 mg·kg-1). Each administration group was gavaged daily with the corresponding dose of drug solution, while the sham operation group and model group were given the same amount of normal saline once a day for 28 days, with 6 rats in each group. Ultrasound was used to detect the cardiac function parameters, rat heart mass and body mass were weighed to calculate the cardiac mass index, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 protein(sST2) levels. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the myocardium. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of mitochondrial fusion protein 1/2(Mfn1/2), optic atrophy protein 1(Opa1), dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1) and fission protein 1(Fis1). ResultCompared with the sham operation group, the mRNA and protein expression of LVEF, Mfn1, Mfn2, Opal in the model group decreased(P<0.05), while BNP, sST2, cardiac mass index, Drp1, Fis1 mRNA and protein levels increased(P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of LVEF, Mfn1, Mfn2, Opal mRNA and protein increased in Shenfu Yixin granule high-dose and sacubitril valsartan sodium groups(P<0.05), while BNP, sST2, cardiac mass index, Drp1, Fis1 mRNA and protein levels decreased(P<0.05). Pathological observation showed that compared with the sham operation group, the model group had disordered arrangement of myocardial cells, inflammatory cell infiltration and myocardial fibrosis. Compared with the model group, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, myocardial or interstitial fibrosis was improved and alleviated in all administered groups. ConclusionShenfu Yixin granules can resist heart failure, reduce cardiac mass index, decrease BNP and sST2 contents, and improve cardiac function. Its mechanism may be related to the adjustment of mitochondrial dynamics.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of clobazam in the additional treatment of refractory epilepsy in children, and provide reference for clinically safe and rational drug use. METHODS The literatures about additional clobazam treatment for refractory epilepsy in children were searched from PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang database during the inception to November 2023. After literature screening and data extraction, the quality of included literature was evaluated according to quality evaluation tool for methodological evaluation indicators of non-randomized controlled trial, and then meta-analysis of single-group rate and sensitivity analysis were performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Finally, 18 one-arm studies were included, with a total of 1 424 children. The results showed that compared with before additional treatment, the proportion of patients with seizures-free (proportion of patients with seizure reduction of 100%) was 24%[95%CI (0.18,0.32), P<0.000 01] after conversion; the proportion of patients with seizure reduction ≥75% was 32%[95%CI(0.25,0.40), P<0.000 1] after conversion; the proportion of patients with seizure reduction ≥50% was 53%[95%CI(0.44,0.61),P<0.000 01]; the proportion of patients with seizure reduction <50% or no change was 35%[95%CI(0.24,0.49),P=0.04] after conversion; the proportion of patients with seizure increase was 9%[95%CI(0.05,0.18),P<0.000 01] after conversion. The proportion of patients with adverse reactions was 31%[95%CI(0.23,0.40),P<0.000 1] after conversion; the proportion of patients with discontinuation due to adverse reactions was 10%[95%CI(0.07, 0.15), P<0.000 01] after conversion. The common adverse drug reactions were drowsiness, fatigue and behavior change, etc. The results of the sensitivity analysis showed that the study was robust. CONCLUSIONS Clobazam is an effective additional therapy for refractory epilepsy in children, but its adverse effects should be vigilant.

Postoperative pain seriously affects the recovery process of patients, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased care costs. Appropriate application of patient-controlled analgesia devices can effectively relieve perioperative acute pain. In 1994 patient-controlled analgesia began to be used in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the Acute Pain Service Working Group was established in 2004. With the cooperation of anesthesiologists and specialist nurses, the group jointly has implemented the whole process and standardized management based on patient-controlled analgesia, and constantly improved and innovated working methods, laying a solid foundation for the development of postoperative pain management. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the work from the aspects of clinical focus, nursing management experience, promotion and dissemination of pain treatment concepts, and development of acute pain service model under the new situation, with the hope of providing valuable reference for comprehensively strengthening pain management in the process of diagnosis and treatment, and enhancing patients' satisfaction with perioperative analgesia services.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by recurrent and unpredictable episodes of subcutaneous or submucosal edema. These attacks could induce fatal risk when larynx is involved. The estimated prevalence of HAE is about 1 in 50 000. Due to its rarity and the diversity of clinical manifestations, HAE is known little by related physicians and misdiagnosis and mistreatment happens very often. Therefore, it is crucial to improve physicians′ understanding of HAE. To address this, a comprehensive management approach for the diagnosis and treatment of HAE have developed in our hospital. This approach includes intra-hospital multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT), collaboration with provincial network hospitals, patient education online and offline interacting with media propaganda. By implementing this approach, the diagnostic precision was significantly improved, the diagnostic time was significantly shortened, and the frequency of emergency interventions for severe laryngeal edema was significantly reduced. Additionally, the collection of data from HAE patients has provided valuable clinical insights for the diagnosis and treatment of HAE in China.

A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of seven acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients with TCF3-HLF fusion gene-positive admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 2017 to August 2022 was conducted to summarize their clinical features and prognoses. The seven B-ALL patients comprised four males and three females, with a median age of 18 (11-33) years. Five patients tested positive for CD33 expression, and four patients had a normal karyotype. Two patients had hypercalcemia at the initial diagnosis, and one patient developed hypercalcemia at relapse. Six patients presented with coagulation dysfunction at diagnosis. After induction chemotherapy, five out of seven patients achieved complete remission, of which four subsequently relapsed. Two patients did not achieve remission even after two rounds of induction chemotherapy, with one achieving complete remission after treatment with blinatumomab immunotherapy. Three patients underwent chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, whereas three patients subsequently underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Five patients died, while two patients survived with sustained complete remission. TCF3-HLF-positive B-ALL is rare and has a high relapse rate and poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of different doses of zinc in the treatment of diarrhea in children, and to provide a reference for clinical safe and rational drug use. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase database, randomized controlled trials about zinc (zinc group) versus placebo or conventional treatment (control group) in the treatment of diarrhea in children were collected from the inception to October 2022. Then, the quality of the included literature was evaluated by the Cochrane Handbook 6.0, and meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed by RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Finally, 25 RCTs were included, with a total of 8 618 children. The results of meta-analysis showed that in terms of duration of diarrhea, in zinc <20 mg group, the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD= -0.39, 95%CI(-0.71, -0.08), P=0.01], but in subgroups of <6 months old, there was no significant difference between the two groups [SMD=0.01, 95%CI(-0.10, 0.11), P=0.88]. In zinc 20 mg group, the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD=-0.52, 95%CI(-0.80, -0.23), P=0.000 3]. In zinc >20 mg group, the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD=-0.83, 95%CI(-1.39, -0.27), P=0.004]. In zinc >10 mg (age ≤12 months) or zinc > 20 mg (age >12 months) group (short for “constant dose group”), the zinc group was significantly shorter than the control group [SMD=-0.16, 95%CI(-0.27, -0.06), P= 0.003]. In the aspect of diarrhea rate after 7 days of treatment,there was no significant difference in the diarrhea rate after 7 E-mail:lihuiying@etyy.cn days of treatment between the zinc group and the control group: in zinc <20 mg group[OR=1.28,95%CI (0.96,1.70),P=0.09], in zinc 20 mg group [OR=0.40, 95%CI (0.15,1.01),P= 0.05], in constant dose group [OR=0.64, 95%CI (0.28, 1.44), P=0.28]. In terms of vomiting rate, in zinc <20 mg group, the vomiting rate of zinc group was significantly higher than that of the control group [OR=2.13, 95%CI (1.68, 2.70), P<0.001]; in constant dose group, vomiting rate of zinc group was significantly higher than that of the control group [OR=1.84, 95%CI (1.44, 2.34), P<0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Zinc can significantly shorten the duration of diarrhea in children(6 months and above), but low doses can increase the risk of vomiting, which should be taken attention in clinical.

Background:
The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 omicron variant has been triggering the new wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally. However, the risk factors and outcomes for radiological abnormalities in the early convalescent stage (1 month after diagnosis) of omicron infected patients are still unknown.
Methods:
Patients were retrospectively enrolled if they were admitted to the hospital due to COVID-19. The chest computed tomography (CT) images and clinical data obtained at baseline (at the time of the first CT image that showed abnormalities after diagnosis) and 1 month after diagnosis were longitudinally analyzed. Uni-/multi-variable logistic regression tests were performed to explore independent risk factors for radiological abnormalities at baseline and residual pulmonary abnormalities after 1 month.
Results:
We assessed 316 COVID-19 patients, including 47% with radiological abnormalities at baseline and 23% with residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. In a multivariate regression analysis, age ≥ 50 years, body mass index ≥ 23.87, days after vaccination ≥ 81 days, lymphocyte count ≤ 1.21 × 10 -9 /L, interleukin-6 (IL-6) ≥ 10.05 pg/mL and IgG ≤ 14.140 S/CO were independent risk factors for CT abnormalities at baseline. The age ≥ 47 years, presence of interlobular septal thickening and IL-6 ≥ 5.85 pg/mL were the independent risk factors for residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. For residual abnormalities group, the patients with less consolidations and more parenchymal bands at baseline could progress on CT score after 1 month. There were no significant changes in the number of involved lung lobes and total CT score during the early convalescent stage.
Conclusion
The higher IL-6 level was a common independent risk factor for CT abnormalities at baseline and residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. There were no obvious radiographic changes during the early convalescent stage in patients with residual pulmonary abnormalities.

Objective:To explore the value of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney generalized dominance ratio (T max-weighted ratio) based on residual tissue time to peak (T max) delayed severity weighting in predicting the moderate to severe edema after acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke. Methods:The clinical and imaging features of patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke from January 2019 to April 2022 in Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 85 patients were enrolled, including 60 males and 25 females, with the age from 34 to 93 (67±11) years old. Patients underwent non-contrast CT, CT angiography of the head and neck, and CT perfusion imaging of the head, and ischemic core volume and the ratio of T max 4-6 s volume, T max 6-8 s volume, T max 8-10 s volume, and T max >10 s volume relative to the entire hypo-perfused area (T max>4 s volume) was measured, and the T max-weighted ratio was calculated, the collateral circulation were assessed. Patients were divided into mild edema group and moderate to severe edema group according to whether local swelling exceeded 1/3 of the unilateral cerebral hemisphere on non-contrast CT at 24-48 h. The indicators were compared between the two groups by independant t test, Mann-Whitney U and χ 2 test. The performance to predict moderate to severe edema was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the moderate to severe edema. Differences in baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and infarct core volume were equalized by 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM) and the differences of T max-weighted ratio between the two groups were further compared. Results:There were 52 cases in the mild edema group and 33 cases in the moderate to severe edema group. Baseline NIHSS score, T max>10 s volume, ischemic core volume, T max-weighted ratio and proportion of poor collateral circulation were higher in the moderate-severe edema group than those in the mild edema group ( P<0.001), T max 4-6 s volume was lower than in the mild edema group ( P<0.001). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of T max-weighted ratio for predicting the incidence of moderate to severe edema was 0.885 (95%CI 0.798-0.944), with an optimal cut-off value of 1.17, sensitivity of 84.85% and specificity of 82.69% before PSM. The predictive ability based on T max-weighted ratio was similar to ischemic core volume( Z=0.64, P=0.520), T max 4-6 s volume ( Z=1.48, P=0.140) and superior to T max 6-8 s volume( Z=5.65, P<0.001), T max 8-10 s volume( Z=4.46, P<0.001), T max >10 s volume ( Z=2.91, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T max-weighted ratio>1.17 was an independent predictor of the development of moderate to severe edema (OR=10.40,95%CI 2.65-40.83, P=0.001) through adjusted for baseline NIHSS score and ischemic core volume. After PSM, 14 patients in each group were included; the T max-weighted ratio was higher in the moderate-to-severe edema group than that in the mild edema group ( P<0.001), and the differences in other factors were not statistically significant (all P>0.05); ROC analysis showed that the AUC of T max-weighted ratio to predict the occurrence of moderate-to-severe edema was 0.852 (95%CI 0.667-0.957). Conclusion:The T max-weighted ratio can predict the occurrence of moderate-to-severe edema in brain tissue after acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.
