Hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection is the primary cause of viral hepatitis and represents a substantial disease burden in China. However， effective and safe agents capable of completely eliminating HBV DNA are still lacking. In modern medicine， anti-HBV strategies mainly target covalently closed circular DNA （cccDNA）， among other mechanisms， and multiple novel drugs are currently under clinical investigation. Traditional medicine has been shown to exert anti-HBV effects through direct pathways， such as blocking viral entry， as well as indirect pathways， including the regulation of programmed cell death. Studies have confirmed that the integration of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and Western medicine in treating HBV infection and its related complications offers complementary advantages， particularly in enhancing HBV clearance rates， improving liver function， preventing various complications， and delaying the progression from hepatic fibrosis to hepatocellular carcinoma. This review focuses on advances in anti-HBV research involving TCM， Western medicine， and their integrated application， aiming to provide a basis for integrated HBV therapy and new drug development.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the critical role of rehabilitation medical records (including electronic records) in rehabilitation medicine's clinical practice and management, comprehensively analyzed the structure, core content and data standards of rehabilitation medical records, to develop a standardized medical record data architecture and core dataset suitable for rehabilitation medicine and to explore the application of rehabilitation data in performance evaluation and payment. MethodsBased on the regulatory documents Basic Specifications for Medical Record Writing and Basic Specifications for Electronic Medical Records (Trial) issued by National Health Commission of China, and referencing the World Health Organization (WHO) Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs) classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), this study constructed the data architecture, core content and data standards for rehabilitation medical records. Furthermore, it explored the application of rehabilitation record summary sheets (home page) data in rehabilitation medical statistics and payment methods, including Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG), Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) and Case Mix Index. ResultsThis study proposed a systematic standard framework for rehabilitation medical records, covering key components such as patient demographics, rehabilitation diagnosis, functional assessment, rehabilitation treatment prescriptions, progress evaluations and discharge summaries. The research analyzed the systematic application methods and data standards of ICD-10/ICD-11, ICF and ICHI Beta-3 in the fields of medical record terminology, coding and assessment. Constructing a standardized data structure and data standards for rehabilitation medical records can significantly improve the quality of data reporting based on the medical record summary sheet, thereby enhancing the quality control of rehabilitation services, effectively supporting the optimization of rehabilitation medical insurance payment mechanisms, and contributing to the establishment of rehabilitation medical performance evaluation and payment based on DRG and DIP. ConclusionStructured rehabilitation records and data standardization are crucial tools for quality control in rehabilitation. Systematically applying the three reference classifications of the WHO-FICs, and aligning with national medical record and electronic health record specifications, facilitate the development of a standardized rehabilitation record architecture and core dataset. Standardizing rehabilitation care pathways based on the ICF methodology, and developing ICF- and ICD-11-based rehabilitation assessment tools, auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and supporting terminology and coding systems, can effectively enhance the quality of rehabilitation records and enable interoperability and sharing of rehabilitation data with other medical data, ultimately improving the quality and safety of rehabilitation services.

Objective To investigate the value of artificial intelligence-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) technology for intravenous gadolinium contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the inner ear using three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) sequence. Methods The patients received gadolinium contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging using ACS and united compressed sensing (uCS) 3D-FLAIR at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January to November 2024 were prospectively enrolled. The repetition time was 16 000 ms, and acquisition time was 6 min 40 s and 10 min 24 s in ACS 3D-FLAIR and uCS 3D-FLAIR, respectively. The images on the two sequences were evaluated independently by two radiologists. The image quality of the two sequences was subjectively evaluated and compared. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were compared between the two sequences. The grading consistencies using two sequences and between the two doctors were analyzed. Results There was no statistically difference in subjective score of image quality between the two sequences. SNR and CNR of the ACS 3D-FLAIR sequence were significantly higher than those of the uCS 3D-FLAIR sequence (P＜0.001). The kappa values of grades of cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops were 0.942 and 0.888 using two sequences (P＜0.001). The kappa values of grades of cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops using the ACS 3D-FLAIR sequence between the two doctors were 0.784 and 0.831, respectively (P＜0.001); the kappa values of grades of cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops using uCS 3D-FLAIR sequence between the two doctors were 0.725 and 0.756, respectively (P＜0.001). Conclusions ACS 3D-FLAIR could provide higher SNR and CNR than uCS 3D-FLAIR, and is more suitable for intravenous gadolinium contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the inner ear; the endolymphatic hydrops grades using ACS 3D-FLAIR is similar to use uCS 3D-FLAIR.

Coronavirus-related diseases pose a significant challenge to the global health system. Given the diversity of coronaviruses and the unpredictable nature of disease outbreaks, the traditional "one bug, one drug" paradigm struggles to address the growing number of emerging crises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for therapeutic agents with broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus activity. Here, we provide evidence that ATV006, an anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleoside analog targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), has broad antiviral activity against human and animal coronaviruses. Using mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) as a model, we show that ATV006 has potent prophylactic and therapeutic activity against murine coronavirus infection in vivo. Remarkably, ATV006 successfully inhibits viral replication in mice even when administered 96 h after infection. Due to its oral bioavailability and potency against multiple coronaviruses, ATV006 has the potential to become a useful antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 and other circulating and emerging coronaviruses in humans and animals.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have been widely used in regenerative medicine, but there is limited research on the stability of UC-MSCs formulation during production. This study aims to assess the stability of the cell stock solution and intermediate product throughout the production process, as well as the final product following reconstitution, in order to offer guidance for the manufacturing process and serve as a reference for formulation reconstitution methods. Three batches of cell formulation were produced and stored under low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) during cell stock solution and intermediate product stages. The storage time intervals for cell stock solution were 0, 2, 4, and 6 h, while for intermediate products, the intervals were 0, 1, 2, and 3 h. The evaluation items included visual inspection, viable cell concentration, cell viability, cell surface markers, lymphocyte proliferation inhibition rate, and sterility. Additionally, dilution and culture stability studies were performed after reconstitution of the cell product. The reconstitution diluents included 0.9% sodium chloride injection, 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 2% human serum albumin, with dilution ratios of 10-fold and 40-fold. The storage time intervals after dilution were 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 h. The reconstitution culture media included DMEM medium, DMEM + 2% platelet lysate, 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and the culture duration was 24 h. The evaluation items were viable cell concentration and cell viability. The results showed that the cell stock solution remained stable for up to 6 h under both low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) conditions, while the intermediate product remained stable for up to 3 h under the same conditions. After formulation reconstitution, using sodium chloride injection diluted with 1% or 2% human serum albumin maintained a viability of over 80% within 4 h. It was observed that different dilution factors had an impact on cell viability. After formulation reconstitution, cultivation in medium with 2% platelet lysate resulted in a cell viability of over 80% after 24 h. In conclusion, the stability of cell stock solution within 6 h and intermediate product within 3 h meets the requirements. The addition of 1% or 2% human serum albumin in the reconstitution diluent can better protect the post-reconstitution cell viability.

Objective To evaluate the effect of irregular follow-up during normalized prevention and control of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic on BK virus (BKV) reactivation and clinical prognosis of kidney transplant recipients. Methods Clinical data of 363 kidney transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into the pre-epidemic follow-up group and during-epidemic follow-up group according to the follow-up time. All patients were followed up for 1 year. The follow-up interval was compared between two groups. The infection of BKV and the correlation between the infection process of BKV and renal graft function were analyzed in two groups. Results A total of 1 790 preson-times were followed up before COVID-19 epidemic and 2 680 during COVID-19 epidemic. Compared with the during-epidemic follow-up group, the follow-up intervals within 3, 3-6 and 7-12 months after kidney transplantation were shorter in the pre-epidemic follow-up group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Within 1 year after kidney transplantation, 35 cases（32%） were diagnosed with BKV viruria, 3 cases（3%） of BKV viremia and 1 case（1%） of BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) in the pre-epidemic follow-up group, and 53（25%）, 3（1%） and 1（1%） in the during-epidemic follow-up group, with no statistical significance (all P>0.05). In the pre-epidemic follow-up group, the time for the initial diagnosis of BKV viruria was longer and the viral load of the first urinary BKV reactivation was smaller than those in the during-epidemic follow-up group, with statistical significance (both P<0.05). The load of the first urinary BKV reactivation was positively correlated with the peak load of urinary BKV, and the differences between the baseline and serum creatinine levels at 1 and 3 months after BKV reactivation (all P<0.05). Conclusions Irregular follow-up after kidney transplantation may lead to early BKV reactivation and higher detection value of the first viral load of urinary BKV, delay diagnosis and interventions, and lead to poor prognosis. It is urgent to establish a remote follow-up system to meet the follow-up requirements of kidney transplant recipients when public health incidents occur.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia secondary to connective tissue diseases.Methods:Totally 23 patients with immune associated thrombocytopenia secondary to connective tissue diseases who were treated with eltrombopag in the Department of Rheumatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the treatment group. Additionally, 34 patients who did not receive eltrombopag during the same period were collected as the control group. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software. The t test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare differences between groups of categorical data.The chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the differences between groups of quantitative data. Results:The highest overall response rate of the 23 patients was 82.6% (19/23), which occurred at the 12th week after treatment. The blood platelet count was significantly increased from baseline at the first week[(47±29)×10 9/L, t=-5.25, P<0.001], also at the 2nd week[(111±87)×10 9/L, t=-5.31, P<0.001], the 4th week[(150±104)×10 9/L, t=-6.23, P<0.001], the 12th week [(153±92)×10 9/L, t=-6.64, P<0.001], the 24th week[(134±83)×10 9/L, t=-7.11, P<0.001], and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the conventional treatment group, patients in the eltrombopag group had a higher proportion of patients previously being treated with IVIG[60.9%(14/23) vs. 20.6%(7/34), χ2=9.57, P=0.002], a lower proportion of patients currently using IVIG[21.7% (5/23) vs. 61.8%(21/34), χ2=8.86, P=0.003], and a lower maximum daily dose of glucocorticoid use[80(50, 120)mg/d vs. 80(55, 115)mg/d, Z=-2.02, P=0.042], the differences were statistically significant. After being followed up for 24 weeks, no patients experienced any serious adverse reactions related to eltrombopag. Conclusion:Eltrombopag is effective and safe in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia secondary to connective tissue diseases. It can be used as one of the choices for patients who failed to respond to conventional treatment or patients who could not tolerate high-dose glucocorticoids.

BACKGROUND:The incidence of osteoporosis significantly increases in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis,and it remains unclear whether the presence of a large number of immune complexes in serum promotes the onset and development of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between serum immune complexes and osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS:(1)Clinical trial:Serum and clinical data of 50 healthy controls and 50 patients with untreated rheumatoid arthritis were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Total immune complex level in serum was compared between two groups.Correlation of serum total immune complexes with bone mineral density,bone turnover markers and other clinical indicators in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was analyzed.(2)Cell experiment:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy volunteers were isolated and cultured,and divided into four groups:rheumatoid arthritis group was added with total immune complex suspension from rheumatoid arthritis patients;normal control group was added with total immune complex suspension from healthy medical checkups;positive control group was added with α-MEM medium containing macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand,and negative control group was added with α-MEM medium.Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining was performed to observe the formation of osteoclasts after 7 days of treatment, RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Clinical trial:The total immune complex and serum alkaline phosphatase levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis were significantly higher than those in health controls(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum total immune complex level was positively correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate(r=0.330,P=0.019),serum alkaline phosphatase(r=0.545,P=0.001),anti-cyclic citrullinate peptide(r=0.377,P=0.007)and c-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(r=0.738,P=0.001),and negatively correlated with lumbar bone mineral density(r=-0.595,P=0.001)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age[odds ratio(OR)=1.086,95%confidence interval(CI)(1.022,1.154),P=0.008],anti-cyclic citrullinate peptide[OR=1.002,95%CI(0.999,1.005),P=0.035],c-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen[OR=0.141,95%CI(0.015,8.900),P=0.008]and serum total immune complexes[OR=2.895,95%CI(1.228,6.827),P=0.001]were the influencing factors for abnormal bone mass(reduced bone mass or osteoporosis)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.(2)Cell experiment:Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive osteoclasts were observed in the positive control group,normal control group and rheumatoid arthritis group,and there were more osteoclasts in the rheumatoid arthritis group than in the normal control group(P＜0.01).To conclude,serum total immune complexes can be used as a potential serologic predictor of rheumatoid arthritis complicated with osteoporosis,and removing immune complexes in serum or interfering with the binding of immune complexes to their receptors may be an effective means for the prevention and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis complicated with osteoporosis.
