OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of posaconazole for the prevention of invasive fungal infections (IFIs). METHODS PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang data and other Chinese and English databases were searched, as well as the official websites of related health technology assessment (HTA). Systematic review (SR)/meta-analysis, pharmacoeconomic studies, and HTA reports of posaconazole for the prevention of IFIs were collected. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to November 1, 2025. After screening the literature, extracting the data, and evaluating the quality of the literature, the results of the included studies were descriptively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 45 studies were included, involving 17 SR/meta-analyses, 26 pharmacoeconomic studies, 1 SR/meta-analysis combined with a pharmacoeconomic study, and 1 HTA report. In terms of effectiveness, posaconazole was significantly superior to other antifungal drugs (eg., fluconazole, itraconazole) in reducing the incidence of IFIs, the incidence of invasive aspergillosis, all-cause mortality, and IFI-related mortality ( P <0.05). In terms of safety, posaconazole was significantly superior to other antifungal drugs in the incidence of total adverse reactions ( P <0.05), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of serious adverse reactions, the incidence of gastrointestinal advers e reactions, drug-induced liver injury, and the withdrawal rate due to adverse drug reactions ( P >0.05). In terms of cost-effectiveness, most studies have shown that posaconazole possesses more cost-effectiveness advantages. CONCLUSIONS Posaconazole demonstrates favorable efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness in preventing IFIs.

Objective:To compare surgery-related indicators, patient recovery status, perioperative complications and risk factors affecting the occurrence of postoperative grade Ⅲ or higher complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric mesenchymal tumor surgery with different visceral fat areas.Methods:Clinical data of 116 patients with gastric interstitial tumor in Shaanxi Provincial People′s Hospital from April 2014 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 44 male patients and 72 female patients, with patient aged from 25 to 88 years old and the mean age was (61.8±10.7) years, including 54 patients in the high VFA group and 62 patients in the low VFA group. SPSS 23.0 was used for statistical analysis, and t-test and χ2 test were applied to compare and analyze the patients′ surgery-related indexes, postoperative recovery status, complications within 30 d after surgery and differences in Clavien-Dindo classification of complications, while univariate and multifactorial analyses were used to study the factors affecting the occurrence of postoperative grade Ⅲ or higher complications. Results:Patients in the high VFA group had a higher body mass index than in the low VFA group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.48, P<0.001); patients in the high VFA group had longer operative time ( t=2.88, P=0.005), more intraoperative bleeding ( t=2.17, P=0.032), longer period of fasting ( t=2.73, P=0.008), longer time for defecation ( t=4.46, P<0.001) and bowel movement ( t=4.62, P<0.001), and longer postoperative hospital stay ( t=3.43) compared with those in the low VFA group ( t=2.73, P=0.001), prolonged defecation ( t=4.46), prolonged bowel movement ( t=4.62), and prolonged postoperative hospitalization ( t=3.43), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05); the incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in the high VFA group (31.4%) compared with the low VFA group (14.5%) ( χ2=4.78, P=0.029); among them, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection was significantly higher in patients in the high VFA group (12.9%) compared with those in the low VFA group (1.6%), and the difference between them was statistically significant ( χ2=4.16, P<0.05); while the differences in postoperative incision-related complications, anastomotic fistula, lower limb venous thrombosis, and intestinal obstruction were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications above grade Ⅲ of the Clavien-Dindo complication classification was significantly higher in patients in the high VFA group (16.7%) compared with those in the low VFA group (4.8%), and the difference between the two was statistically significant ( χ2=4.35, P<0.05); univariate analysis revealed that operative time ≥300 min and increased VFA were the risk factors for postoperative grade Ⅲ or higher complications, while VFA was not an independent risk factor. Conclusion:Larger visceral fat area increases the difficulty of laparoscopic gastric mesenchymal tumor surgery operation, and also affects patients′ postoperative recovery, leading to increased postoperative complications, but VFA is not an independent risk factor affecting the occurrence of postoperative grade Ⅲ or higher complications in patients with gastric mesenchymal tumor.

Objective To explore the impact of Enalapril-folic acid tablet on development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients with coronary heart diseases(CHD) complicated with mild renal insufficiency. Methods A total of 935 old patients (≥60 years) undergoing selective PCI at our hospital from January 2013 to June 2016 were enrolled in this retrospective study.Based on treatments during the perioperative phase ,the 935 patients were divided into Enalapril-folic acid tablet intervention group (n= 296 ,31.7% ) ,and other RAS blocker control group with Angiotensin eonverting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or Angiotensin Ⅱreceptor blocker (ARB) (n=639 ,68.3% ). The levels of serum creatinine for 72 hours after operation were monitored and evaluated.Baseline data and CIN incidence were compared between two groups.The clinical events within 1 month after contrast media application were recorded.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for CIN after PCI. Results The incidence of CIN after PCI was lower in the intervention group than in the control group with no statistical significance[7.1% (21/296) vs.11.1% (71/639) ,χ2 = 3.679 ,P= 0.059].Multivariate regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.103 ,P=0.001) ,hypertension (OR=3.362 ,P=0.017) , and hyper-homocysteinemia (OR=3.528 ,P=0.003) were independent risk factors ,but the treatment with Enalapril-folic acid tablet might be a protective factor for development of CIN after PCI (OR=0.443 ,P=0.042).During the 1-month follow-up ,the rate of recurrent angina pectoris was lower in the intervention group than in the control group ( P < 0.05 ) ,while there were no statistically significant differences between two groups in the rates of rehospitalization due to worsening renal dysfunction ,dialysis/hemofiltration ,acute heart failure ,and new myocardial infarction (all P>0.05). Conclusions The treatment with enalapril-folic acid tablet may prevent the occurrence of CIN after PCI in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and mild renal insufficiency.

OBJECTIVETo explore the impact of plasma homocysteinemia(Hcy) on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
METHODSConsecutive 684 ACS patients undergoing first PCI in our department between January 2013 and December 2014 were prospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the pre-procedural plasma Hcy level: high-Hcy group (Hcy≥10 μmol/L, n=404) and control group (Hcy<10 μmol/L, n=280). The CIN was defined as serum creatinine ≥ 44.2 μmol/L or 25% increase compared to baseline within 48-72 h after PCI.The baseline clinical data and the ratio of CIN were compared between the 2 groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to define the independent risk factors for CIN.
RESULTSCIN occurred in 133(19.4%) out of 684 enrolled patients, and the incidence of CIN was significantly higher in high Hcy group than in the control group (22.0%(89/404)vs. 15.7%(44/280), P=0.040). After adjusting the confounding factors, including age, acute myocardial infarction, co-morbidities(hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and old myocardial infarction), laboratory examination (level of cystatin C and uric acid), glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, angiographic and procedural characteristics (3 diseased vessels, multiple stent implantation), treatment at admission (spironolactone, digoxin), multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high Hcy was independently associated with the development of CIN (OR=1.70, 95%CI 1.60-2.64, P=0.021).
CONCLUSIONElevated Hcy prior PCI is an independent risk factor of CIN in ACS patients undergoing first PCI.
