Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T _NANC), time to symptom improvement (T _SI), and time of hospital stay (T _HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T _NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of toripalimab combined with bronchial ar-terial chemoembolization(BACE)and intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)in advanced lung cancer.Methods A prospective single-arm trial was conducted in 104 patients with programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)-positive,driver gene-negative non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)in stages of Ⅲ B to Ⅳ admitted to the First People's Hospital of Guangyuan City of Sichuan Province.All patients received toripalimab combined with BACE and IMRT.Clinical efficacy,symptom improve-ment time,tumor biomarker levels[carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),carbohydrate antigen 199(CA199),cytokeratin 19 fragment(CYFRA21-1),neuron-specific enolase(NSE)],T-lymphocyte subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+),survival outcomes,and adverse events were analyzed.Results Among 102 patients,the objective response rate(ORR)was 75.49％,disease control rate(DCR)was 90.20％,survival rate was 68.63％,and 12-month progression-free survival rate was 62.75％.The overall incidence of adverse events of any grade was 72.55％.Post-BACE,post-IMRT,and post-toripalimab treatment levels of CEA,CYFRA21-1,CA199,and NSE were significantly lower than baseline data(P＜0.05),with the lowest levels observed after toripalimab treatment compared to post-BACE and post-IMRT(P＜0.05).CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+decreased after BACE,IMRT and toripalimab therapy,but they were increased following toripalimab therapy compared with the other two therapies(P＜0.05).Conclusion Toripalimab combined with BACE and IMRT demonstrates significant clinical efficacy and acceptable tolerability in PD-L1-positive,driver gene-negative NSCLC in stages of ⅢB to Ⅳ,serving as a preferred consolidation regimen after unresect-able chemoradiotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the association between estimated cumulative low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) exposure and the severity of coronary artery disease and long-term adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods:The subjects were from the PROMISE study. This study was a prospective cohort study led by Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, with participation from eight regional tertiary hospitals as sub-centers, and enrolled 18 701 patients with confirmed coronary heart disease between January 2015 and May 2019. Among them, 8 429 patients with ACS were included in this study. The estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure was calculated by multiplying LDL-C by age. Participants were then divided into four groups based on quartiles. Baseline data and coronary angiography data were collected, and participants were followed for 2 years. The primary endpoint was MACCE, which was composed of all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, and stroke. Spearman correlation analysis was used to estimate the correlation between cumulative LDL-C exposure and the severity of coronary artery disease. The differences in MACCE among the four groups were compared, and multivariate Cox regression was used to divide the estimated cumulative exposure LDL-C into two groups, three groups, and four groups to analyze its relationship with MACCE.Results:The 8 429 ACS patients included in the study had an age of (60.9±11.4) years, with 1 951(23.1%) females. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure was positively associated with the preoperative SYNTAX score, three-vessel lesions disease, left main disease, and the number of target lesions (correlation coefficients r=0.14, 0.10, 0.04 and 0.03, respectively, with all P<0.05). The 2-year follow-up results indicated that the incidence rates of MACCE, all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in ACS patients grouped by different levels of estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The results of the Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that when the estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure was treated as a continuous variable and analyzed in two, three, and four groups, with the lowest group as the reference, the risk of MACCE occurrence in the high-value group increased by 21% (95% CI 1.08-1.37, P=0.002), 24% (95% CI 1.07-1.43, P=0.004), and 21% (95% CI 1.02-1.43, P=0.025) respectively. Conclusions:A positive correlation was found between estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure and severity of coronary artery disease. High estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure level is a risk factor for MACCE in ACS patients within 2 years.

Objective To develop a decision support system for clinical nursing plans based on nursing diagno-sis and explore its application effects,in order to provide references for optimizing the clinical nursing process and improving the quality of nursing.Methods A multidisciplinary research team was established to construct a clini-cal nursing plan decision support system framework from 3 aspects,namely nursing diagnosis,nursing interventions,and outcome tracking.The system built a clinical nursing diagnosis decision knowledge base through 3 dimensions,namely basic nursing diagnoses,specialty disease nursing diagnoses,and nursing-related technical diagnoses.Deep learning-based artificial intelligence capture technology was developed to achieve intelligent matching and generate clinical nursing plan forms.Implemented in a tertiary hospital in Yichang City,Hubei Province,a control group(June to August 2024)and an experimental group(October to December 2024)were compared regarding nursing diagnosis implementation rate,nursing plan documentation accuracy,and clinical nursing quality scores.Results This research showed a significant improvements for nursing diagnosis implementation rate increased from 94.88％to 97.25％,and nursing plan documentation accuracy improved from 90.38％to 95.33％.Compared with the control group,the experimental group demonstrated statistically significant enhancements in deep vein thrombosis preven-tion,fall prevention,pressure injury management,unplanned extubation control,bloodstream infection control,catheter-related infection prevention,and key specialty nursing quality indicators(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The nursing di-agnosis-based clinical decision support system effectively improves nurses'diagnostic implementation rates,enhances documentation accuracy of nursing plans,and elevates overall clinical nursing quality.
