Objective:To enhance the understanding of clinical doctors on the concurrence of Sj?gren′s syndrome (SS) and myasthenia gravis (MG), provide reference forclinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The medical record of SS、MG patient Taian Central hospital in october 2021 was reviewed and a retrospective analysis was conducted. Based on the key words, the main databases domestic and abroad from Jan 1973 to April 2024. The cases reported in the literature were searched out and merged with our case and analyzed by SPSS 27.0. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed by mean standard deviation ± s, and the measurement data of abnormal distribution were expressed by M( Q1, Q3). Counting data were expressed as examples and percentages (%) . Results:Twenty-one patients with SS complicated with MG were reviewed. Among them, 19(90.5%) patients were female. The average age was (47.6 ± 3.1) years, and the median time from onset to diagnosis was 24 (11, 78) months. There were 11 patients (52.4%) with myasthenia gravis as the initial presentation. The main clinical manifestations of patients with myasthenia muscle fatigue (80.9%, 17/21), gravis include fatigue ptosis (71.4%, 15/21), diplopia, blurred vision (57.1%, 12/21), dysphagia (33.3%, 7/21), joint pain (33.3%, 7/21), odysarthria, and unclear speech (23.8%, 5/21), hair loss (14.3%, 3/21), and swelling of the excocrine glands(9.5%, 2/21). Eighteen patients (85.7%, 18/21) showed positive anti acetylcholine receptor antibodies. Sixteen patients (76.2%) were positive for ANA, and 14 patients (66.8%) were positive for anti SSA or (and) anti SSB antibodies. Four patients (19.0%) also had other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto′s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, optic neuritis). In terms of treatment, cholinesterase inhibitors were the most common treatment measure, applied to 18 patients (85.7%), followed by glucocorticoid therapy, and applied to 14 patients (66.8%). In addition, 7 patients (33.3%) received immunosuppressive agents therapy, 5 patients (23.8%) underwent thymectomy, 2 patients (9.5%) received intravenous human immunoglobulin injection, and 1 patient (4.8%) underwent plasma exchange. All patients showed improvement after treatment.Conclusion:SS and MG are both autoimmune diseases, and their coexistence is rare. Clinicans should be aware of this rare association. Early diagnosis is crucial for the treatment and prognosis of patients,and requiresa comprehensive assessment of clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and auto-antibody test results.

Sudden cardiac arrest survivors are a special group of patients, often with unique and complex needs that are not adequately addressed by current treatments. In May 2020, the American Heart Association (AHA) developed a scientific statement on sudden cardiac arrest survivorship based on relevant research developments, which emphasized the importance of a unified patient-centered assessment and resources. This article attempts to interpret the key content of the scientific statement, hoping to provide reference and help for domestic medical staff to understand and apply it.

The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) issued the second consensus on the assessment of sublingual microcirculation in critically ill patients. This paper interprets the consensus for clinicians about: what is microcirculation, how to observe microcirculation, and the details of microcirculation images collection and parameters analysis. Besides, this paper illustrates the relationship between microcirculation alternation and shock, it also evaluates the present situation and future development of microcirculation monitoring.

Objective:
To evaluate the left ventricular systolic synchrony and investigate the early diagnostic value of left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony on cardiotoxicity caused by anthracyclines in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Methods:
Thirty-two patients (22 males, 10 females, age: 22-73(54.4±14.2) years) from June 2016 to January 2019 with confirmed DLBCL and normal gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI) before anthracyclines chemotherapy were enrolled prospectively. GMPI was performed after 6 cycles or more of chemotherapy. Changes of myocardial markers, electrocardiogram (ECG) indicators, left ventricular function indicators including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), peak filling rate (PFR), summed motion score (SMS) and summed thickening score (STS) as well as left ventricular systolic synchrony indicators including phase bandwidth (BW), phase standard deviation (SD) and entropy before and after anthracyclines chemotherapy were analyzed.

To investigate the association between red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW) and osteophytes.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Health Examination Center of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. A total of 8 334 subjects were included in this study. The severity of osteophytes was graded using the criteria of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Osteophytes incident was defined as at least one side of the knee had a osteophytes grade ≥1. According to the quartiles of the RDW level, the subjects were divided into 4 groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the knee osteophytes incidence between each RDW group and the lowest level group. Tests for linear trends were conducted based on logistic regression using a median variable of RDW level in each category.
Results: Quartile 1 (Q1), RDW≤9.78; Q2, 9.78
