Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety profile of antaitasvir phosphate combined with yiqibuvir in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of various genotypes, without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:394 cases with CHC from 22 centers were collected from October 2021 to April 2023. They were randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drugs (antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg) or placebo treatment in a 3∶1 ratio. The patients were administered drugs once a day for 12 consecutive weeks, and then followed up for 24 weeks after treatment cessation. All subjects were unblinded at the four-week follow-up following drug discontinuation, with the experimental drug group continuing to complete subsequent post-discontinuation follow-up. The placebo group was switched to receive the experimental drugs for a repeated 12-week treatment period and followed up for another 24 weeks after discontinuation of the drug (placebo delayed treatment phase).The sustained virologic response rate (SVR12) was observed for subjects in the double-blind phase and the placebo delayed-treatment phase at 12 weeks after treatment cessation.Virological resistance analysis was performed on subjects who failed treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The number and percentage of subjects who achieved "HCV RNA

Objective:To investigate the distribution of CGG repeat numbers in the FMR1 gene among reproductive-age women in China, providing data reference for carrier screening and genetic counseling of Fragile X syndrome. Methods:This cross-sectional study recruited 16 610 reproductive-age women from 12 medical institutions between July 2022 and October 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples (3 mL) were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted. The number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene was determined using the triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction (TP-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis technology. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the prevalence and distribution of CGG repeat expansions. Results:Among 16 610 women of childbearing age, 5 684 (34.220%) women had the same number of CGG repeats in the two alleles of FMR1 gene, and 10 926 (65.780%) women had different numbers of repeats in the two alleles. Among the 33 220 FMR1 alleles in 16 610 women of reproductive age, the most common CGG repeat numbers were 29 [48.645% (16 160/33 220)] and 30 [26.276% (8 729/33 220)], while the most frequent CGG genotype was CGG 29/29 [24.726% (4 107/16 610)]. The CGG repeat numbers of FMR1 gene were normal in 16 498 women (99.326%). Among the 112 women (0.674%) with CGG repeat abnormities, 96 (0.578%) women were classified as intermediate carriers, 15 (0.090%) as premutation carriers, and 1 (0.006%) as a full mutation carrier, whose CGG genotype was (36, >200). Conclusion:In the general reproductive-age female population in China, the normal CGG repeat numbers of the FMR1 gene account for 99.326%, while the intermediate carrier rate is 0.578%, and the combined carrier rate of the premutation and full mutation types is 0.096%.

Objective To study the composition,abundance,and functional profiles of the intestinal microbiota in infants and young children with Kawasaki disease(KD)during the acute phase,and to explore the potential role of intestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis of KD.Methods Six children aged 0-3 years with acute KD admitted to the Department of Cardiology,Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from July to October 2021 were prospectively included as the KD group.Six age-and sex-matched healthy children who underwent physical examinations at the hospital during the same period were selected as the healthy control group.Metagenomics sequencing was used to detect and compare the differences in the microflora structure and functional profiles of fecal samples between the two groups.Results There were significant differences in the structural composition and diversity of intestinal microbiota between the two groups(P<0.05).Compared with the healthy control group,the abundance of Listeria_monocytogenes(family Listeriaceae and genus Listeria),Bifidobacterium_rousetti,Enterococcus_avium,and Enterococcus_hirae was significantly higher in the intestinal microbiota in the KD group(|LDA|>2.0,P<0.05).The steroid degradation and apoptosis pathways were significantly upregulated in the KD group compared with the healthy control group,while the Bacterial_secretion_system,Sulfur_metabolism,Butanoate_metabolism,Benzoate_degradation,β-alanine metabolism,and α-linolenic acid pathways were significantly downregulated(|LDA|>2,P<0.05).Conclusions There are significant differences in the structure and diversity of intestinal microbiota between children aged 0-3 years with acute KD and healthy children,suggesting that disturbances in intestinal microbiota occur during the acute phase of KD.In particular,Listeria_monocytogenes,Enterococcus_avium,and Enterococcus_hirae may be involved in the pathogenesis of KD through steroid degradation and apoptosis pathways.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of trimetazidine combined with Wenxin granule in patients with heart failure(HF)and its influence on serum inflammatory markers.Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 120 HF patients admitted in Maanshan Shiqiye Hospital between January 2018 and June 2019.The patients were divided into control group(n=60,trimetazidine therapy)and combined treatment group(n=60,trimetazidine com-bined Wenxin granule treatment).One month was regard as a course.After 3 continuous courses,clinical therapeutic effect,inflammatory factors,cardiac function and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Re-sults:Total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group(96.7％vs.71.7％,P＜0.001).Compared with participants in control group after treatment,those in combined treatment group had significant lower interleukin(IL)-6[(53.63±6.34)ng/L vs.(45.23±6.12)ng/L],IL-17[(9.68±3.37)ng/L vs.(7.55±2.69)ng/L],tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α)[(13.81±2.13)ng/L vs.(10.29±1.04)ng/L],brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)[(98.65±10.23)ng/L vs.(51.28±8.16)ng/L],left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd)[(50.71±6.78)mm vs.(42.32±6.39)mm]and left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESd)[(42.43±3.56)mm vs.(33.91±3.25)mm],and significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(44.92±4.36)％vs.(54.23±4.27)％](P＜0.001 all).We detected significant lower incidence of adverse reactions(8.3％vs.23.3％,P=0.024)in combined treatment group compared to control group.Conclusion:Trimetazidine combined with Wenxin granule is effec-tive in patients with heart failure,which could significantly reduce serum inflammatory factors,improve cardiac function and reduce incidence of adverse reactions.

Polypeptide drugs have attracted much attention in the field of drug research and development due to their wide range of indications,especially in pharmaceutical R&D of new drugs with endocrine related indications such as diabetes and osteoporosis.With the advancement of peptide synthesis and delivery technologies,the research and application of peptide drugs have made significant breakthroughs.However,the R&D and nonclinical safety assessment of peptide drugs still face many challenges,and there are no specific guidelines for the nonclinical safety evaluation of this class of drugs domestically or abroad.This article focuses on the field of endocrine indications.By analyzing the nonclinical studies of approved peptide drugs,and considering the current R&D status and specific regulatory requirements,this paper proposes considerations on the nonclinical safety assessment of peptide drugs,including the selection of relevant animal species,key study contents,specific considerations for peptides containing non-natural amino acids,etc.The aims are to provide references for optimizing and improving the nonclinical safety evaluation of peptide drugs.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
