Objective To analyze the clinical significance of subjective visual vertical (SVV) tests at different head deflection angles in assessing utricle function in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods A total of 61 BPPV patients who were treated at the Hearing Impairment and Vertigo Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively included, and 29 healthy adults were selected as controls. SVV tests were performed on all research subjects at different head deflection angles: upright head (0°), left head 45° (L45°), right head 45° (R45°). The test results between the two groups were compared. Results SVV absolute value at R45° in BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＝0.003); there was no significant difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. There was no statistical difference in SVV values at different head deflection angles between the control group and the left BPPV group. SVV absolute value at R45° in right BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0.001); there was no statistical difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. Conclusions SVV test can provide subjective information about the utricle, and SVV tests at different head deflection angles can fine-tune evaluate the function of the utricle in BPPV patients.

OBJECTIVE To establish a closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs based on internet of things （IoT） and blockchain technology， and evaluate its implementation effects. METHODS A closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs covering the entire drug lifecycle was designed using drug traceability codes integrated with IoT and blockchain technology. System effectiveness was evaluated from three dimensions： work efficiency， medication management quality and data safety by comparing indicators such as the acceptance time of incoming drugs and the number of collected drug traceability codes before the system implementation （October to December 2024） and after the system implementation （January to March 2025）. RESULTS A closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs， centered around the drug traceability code management system， was successfully established. The acceptance time for incoming drugs was shortened from （4.65±0.26） h before implementation to （0.34±0.08） h after implementation （P＜ 0.05）. The number of collected drug traceability codes increased from 419 018 to 1 236 522， and the coverage rate of traceability codes rose from 28.36% to 89.88% （P＜0.05）. The time pharmacists spent on drug expiry management per week decreased from （128.40±19.20） min to （0.56±0.13） min （P＜0.05）， and the dispensing time for a single prescription （excluding a part of injections and repackaged drugs） was reduced from （143.25±17.67） s to （15.24±10.08） s （P＜0.05）. The time for drug return was reduced from 129.90 （122.32， 137.00） s to 104.36 （89.91， 117.33） s（P＜0.05）； the number of drug dispensing errors decreased from 2 cases to 0 cases. After the system was launched， there were no data security incidents in our outpatient pharmacy. CONCLUSIONS The constructed closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs can significantly enhance drug traceability accuracy and drug management quality， improve pharmacist work efficiency， and reduce drug management risks， thus providing a feasible solution for the digital transformation of hospital pharmaceutical services.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics,therapeutic effect and prognostic factors of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma(HL).Methods:A total of 129 patients with HL diagnosed in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2010 to March 2021 who were given at least one efficacy assessment after treatment were enrolled,and their clinical data,including sex,age,pathological type,Ann Arbor stage,ECOG score,blood test,β2-microglobulin,lactate dehydrogenase level,albumin level were collected.The clinical characteristics,therapeutic effect and long-term prognosis of the patients were summarized and analyzed.Results:In classical HL,nodular sclerosis HL accounted for the highest proportion of 51.6％,followed by mixed cellularity HL(36.5％),lymphocyte-rich classical HL(3.2％),and lymphocyte depletion HL(0.7％),while nodular lymphocyte predominant HL accounted for 4.8％.The 3-year overall survival(OS)rate of HL patients was 89.8％,and 5-year OS was 85.0％.The 3-year progression-free survival(PFS)rate was 73.4％,and 5-year PFS was 63.1％.Multivariate regression analysis indicated that IPI score was an independent negative factor,while hemoglobin(Hb)level was an independent positive factor for OS in HL patients.When the mediastinal mass size was 9.2 cm,it was most significant to judge the survival status of HL patients.5-year OS and 5-year PFS were 97.4％and 76.0％in early-stage HL patients without large mass,respectively,while in patients with advanced-stage HL was 83.4％and 55.9％(both P＜0.05).After 2-4 courses of treatment,the overall response rate(ORR)of patients who received chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy was 95.0％,while that was 89.6％in those with chemotherapy alone.Conclusions:The overall prognosis of patients with HL is satisfactory,especially those in early-stage without large mass.IPI score and Hb level are independent risk factors for the prognosis of HL patients.A 9.2 cm mediastinal mass can be used as the cut-off value for the prognosis of Chinese HL patients.

Objective:To investigate the role of levofloxacin combined with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)or only G-CSF supportive therapy in preventing infection in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(ASCT),and to analyze the length of hospital stay,hospitalization cost and post-transplant survival of the patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in the patients with hematological malignancies who accepted ASCT at our hospital from January 2012 to July 2022,the febrile neutropenia,the incidence of bacterial infection and the use rate of intravenous antibiotics in the levofloxacin+G-CSF group and only G-CSF support group during ASCT were observed.The length of hospital stay,total cost during hospitalization and survival after 90 days of transplantation between the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 102 cases were included in this study,including 57 cases of multiple myeloma,36 cases of acute leukaemia,7 cases of lymphoma,3 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome,1 case of light chain amyloidosis,and 1 case of POEMS syndrome.47 patients received levofloxacin+G-CSF antibacterial prophylaxis,and 55 patients received G-CSF supportive therapy.In the levofloxacin+G-CSF group,40 cases(85.11％)developed febrile neutropenia,and 13 cases(27.66％)were confirmed as bacterial infection.In the G-CSF group,44 cases(80.00％)developed febrile neutropenia,and 16 cases(29.09％)were bacterial infection.There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of febrile neutropenia and bacterial infection between the two groups(x2=0.46,P=0.50;x2=0.03,P=0.87).The use rate of intravenous antibiotics in the levofloxacin+G-CSF group was 85.11％(40/47),which was not statistically different from 85.45％(47/55)in the G-CSF group(X2=0.04,P=0.84).The detection rates of levofloxacin-resistant bacteria in the levofloxacin+G-CSF group and G-CSF group were 8.57％(3/35)and 21.43％(6/28),respectively,with no statistical difference(x2=0.65,P＞0.05).The median length and median cost of hospitalization in the levofloxacin+G-CSF group and G-CSF group were 25 d vs 22 d and 78 216.24 yuan vs 80 724.38 yuan,with no statistically significant differences(t=3.00,P=0.09;t=0.94,P=0.09).Within 90 days after transplantation,two cases(4.26％)died in the levofloxacin+G-CSF group and one case(1.82％)died in the G-CSF group,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(x2=0.53,P=0.47).Conclusion:Application of levofloxacin+G-CSF showed no significant benefit compared to G-CSF support for the prevention of bacterial infections during ASCT.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and gene variant characteristics of PCDH19 gene related epilepsy, and improve the ability of clinicians in early disease identification. Methods:The clinical data of 3 PCDH19 gene related epilepsy patients admitted to Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from October 2018 to August 2023 diagnosed by gene detection were reviewed and analyzed. Results:All the patients are female, and the onset age of seizure ranged in their infancy. Seizures in clusters and fever sensitivity were observed in all patients, and were very hard to control by single-drug treatment. Proband 1 was seizure-free after 2 kinds of anti-epileptic drug treatment, but with mild degree of intellectual disability. Proband 2 had refractory epilepsy with severe degree of intellectual disability. Proband 3 was seizure-free after 2 kinds of anti-epileptic drug treatment and without intellectual disability. In the first family, the proband carried heterozygous c.369C>G variant in the PCDH19 gene which was identified as de novo after parental validation. In the second family, the proband carried c.1652T>A variant inherited from her mother. In the third family, the proband carried c.278G>A variant inherited from her father. The 3 mutations had not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database. Conclusions:PCDH19 gene related epilepsy is one special kind of X-linked inherited epilepsy syndrome characterized by seizures in clusters and sensitivity to fever. And gene detection can help with early diagnosis and make rational clinical strategies in time. The variants c.369C>G, c.1652T>A and c.278G>A have enriched the gene variant spectrum of PCDH19.

Objective To explore the risk factors associated with cow's milk protein allergy(CMPA)in infants.Methods This study was a multicenter prospective nested case-control study conducted in seven medical centers in Beijing,China.Infants aged 0-12 months were included,with 200 cases of CMPA infants and 799 control infants without CMPA.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the risk factors for the occurrence of CMPA.Results Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that preterm birth,low birth weight,birth from the first pregnancy,firstborn,spring birth,summer birth,mixed/artificial feeding,and parental history of allergic diseases were associated with an increased risk of CMPA in infants(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that firstborn(OR=1.89,95％CI:1.14-3.13),spring birth(OR=3.42,95％CI:1.70-6.58),summer birth(OR=2.29,95％CI:1.22-4.27),mixed/artificial feeding(OR=1.57,95％CI:1.10-2.26),parental history of allergies(OR=2.13,95％CI:1.51-3.02),and both parents having allergies(OR=3.15,95％CI:1.78-5.56)were risk factors for CMPA in infants(P＜0.05).Conclusions Firstborn,spring birth,summer birth,mixed/artificial feeding,and a family history of allergies are associated with an increased risk of CMPA in infants.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(3):230-235]

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.
