A 51-year-old male presented with nasal obstruction, followed by progressive hearing loss and blurred vision. Imaging identified space-occupying lesions in the paranasal sinuses, orbits, and paraspinal regions, while laboratory tests confirmed positive anti-proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(PR3- ANCA) immunoglobulin G (IgG)and markedly elevated serum IgG4. Despite treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and radiotherapy, the patient exhibited steroid dependency with relentless disease progression. Following multidisciplinary consultation, a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) coexisting with ANCA- associated vasculitis (AAV) was favored, though IgG4-related disease remained a critical differential. Ultimately, profound immunosuppression precipitated a severe herpesvirus infection, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This case underscores the rarity and diagnostic complexity of concurrent IMT and AAV, highlights the therapeutic dilemma of balancing primary disease control against fatal opportunistic infections, and emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases.

Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are widely used synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agents that can enter the human body through the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and other pathways. More and more studies have found that exposure to TCS and TCC can affect human health, but currently, review reports on the health effects of human exposure to TCS and TCC are limited. Therefore, this study reviewed population studies on the relationship between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects by searching the PubMed database, summarized the associated health outcomes, and elucidated the biological mechanisms. A total of 56 studies were retrieved, among which cross-sectional studies (25 studies, 44.64%) and cohort studies (25 studies, 44.64%) accounted for a relatively large proportion, while case-control studies (6 studies, 10.72%) were relatively few. Studies on TCS exposure (48 studies, 85.71%) were far more prevalent than those on TCC exposure (2 studies, 3.57%). The remaining 6 studies involved both TCS and TCC exposure. The research results revealed that TCS exposure was associated with male and female abnormal reproductive functions, fetal growth restriction, abnormal behavior development in children, obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and immune-related diseases. Although the results of different studies show significant differences, they have indicated that exposure to TCS is a potential risk factor for these health problems. Due to the limited number of studies, the evidence for the relationship between TCC exposure and most of the aforementioned health effects is insufficient. Population studies and in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that exposure to TCS and TCC can interfere with the microbial homeostasis, the endocrine system, oxidative stress and immune function of the body, which are potential mechanisms causing adverse health effects. In the future, large-scale prospective cohort studies, as well as in vivo and in vitro studies, are still needed to further clarify the associations between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects, and to deeply explore its mechanism of action. These efforts will provide references for clarifying the human health hazards of TCS and TCC exposure and formulating targeted prevention and control strategies.

Objective: To investigate the current status of refractive errors and insufficient hyperopia reserve in preschool children aged 3-6 years in Hefei and to analyze influencing factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted myopia prevention policies and comprehensive interventions. Methods: In May 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 897 preschool children from 8 kindergartens across four districts (Baohe, Yaohai, Shushan, and Economic and Technological Development Zone) in Hefei, and Children’s Visual Health related Behavior Assessment Scale was used to collect personal information and environmental factors. Pre and post cycloplegic refraction tests were conducted to assess insufficient hyperopic reserve and refractive development levels. Group comparisons were conducted using 2 test, t-test or analysis of variance. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify key factors influencing hyperopic reserve, axial length and spherical equivalent in preschool children. Results: The detection rates of refractive errors among preschool children were 6.8% for hyperopia, 1.6% for myopia, and 11.1% for astigmatism. Notably, the prevalence of myopia was significantly higher in boys (2.3%) than in girls (0.7%) ( χ 2=3.88, P <0.05). Additionally, 8.8% of the children exhibited insufficient hyperopic reserve. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that preschool children with high myopia in the father, high myopia in the mother, longer daily duration of near work, and longer daily electronic product use time had increased risks of axial growth ( β =0.12, 0.09, 0.15, 0.11), SE reduction ( β =-0.10, -0.07, -0.18, -0.13), and insufficient hyperopic reserve ( OR=1.87, 2.22, 1.40, 1.28) (P <0.05). While, preschool children with longer sleep time and daily outdoor activity duration had lower risks of axial growth ( β =-0.11, -0.10 ), SE reduction ( β =0.39, 0.51), and insufficient hyperopia reserve ( OR =0.54, 0.51) in preschool children ( P <0.05). Conclusions The rates of refractive errors and insufficient hyperopia reserve in preschool children in Hefei are relatively low, which are influenced by many factors. Parents, kindergartens and relevant departments should implement early vision monitoring and intervention for preschool children, and cultivate their scientific eye use habits.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum levels of Ninjurin 1(NINJ1),cystatin C(CysC),and D-dimer(D-D)for unfavorable outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 118 AMI patients hospitalized in the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force 901st Hospital between Feb-ruary 2020 and March 2023 were enrolled.According to prognosis within 6 months after treatment,patients were divided into favorable outcome group and unfavorable outcome group.Serum levels of CysC,D-D and NINJ1 were measured upon admission.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing unfavorable outcome in AMI patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the pre-dictive value of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D for the prognosis of AMI patients.A nomogram model for predicting unfavorable outcome in AMI patients was constructed and verified.Results:Compared to patients with favorable outcomes,those with unfavorable outcomes had significantly higher proportions of hypertension,diabetes,number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2,and serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D,as well as a significantly lower pro-portion of Killip class Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.01 all).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2(OR=3.817,95％CI 1.140～12.779,P=0.030),Killip class Ⅲ-Ⅳ(OR=5.639,95％CI 1.706～18.637,P=0.005),hypertension(OR=4.188,95％CI 1.392～12.600,P=0.011),diabetes(OR=3.480,95％CI 1.148～10.552,P=0.028),and serum levels of NINJ1(OR=1.055,95％CI 1.009～1.103,P=0.018),CysC(OR=75.232,95％CI 5.537～545.908,P=0.003),and D-D(OR=56.163,95％CI 1.610～958.586,P=0.026)were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes at 6 months in AMI patients.ROC a-nalysis showed that the AUC of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D combined predicting unfavorable outcomes was 0.801(95％CI 0.718～0.869),which was significantly higher than those of serum NINJ1(0.675,95％CI 0.582～0.758)and D-D(0.676,95％CI 0.583～0.759)alone(Z=2.344,P=0.019;Z=2.173,P=0.030,),but the difference was not significant comparing to CysC alone(Z=1.856,P=0.064).The C-index of the nomogram model predic-ting unfavorable outcomes was 0.973(95％CI 0.967～0.986),and the predicted values of calibration curve were consistent with the actual values,indicating good prediction accuracy.Conclusion:Elevated serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D in AMI patients were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes.Combined detection of these indicators may accurately predict unfavorable outcomes compared to single detection,and the constructed no-mogram model exhibits good prediction efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the prognosis and safety of patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)who received I-125 seed implantation in treatment with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with stage Ⅳ metastatic PDAC who received anti-PD-1 combined chemotherapy treatment at Yixing Hospital,Jiangsu University from Jan 2021 to Jun 2023.Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received I-125 seed implantation:the I-125 seed implantation+anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+Chemotherapy group(IPC group)and the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy group(PC group).The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 24 months,with a median follow-up time of 9 months.The prognosis of patients was analysed in combination with peripheral blood biomarkers.The peripheral lymphocyte subsets of patients in different treatment groups were preliminarily analysed by flow cytometry.Results A total of 13 patients were included,with 5 in the IPC group and 8 in the PC group.Progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)in the IPC group were significantly longer than those in the PC group.The treatment in the IPC group was relatively safe,adverse reactions were controllable.The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and CD4/CD8 ratio indicated that the prognosis of the IPC patients was better.The levels of regulatory T cells(Treg)and active regulatory T cells(aTreg)cells in the IPC patients were reduced after treatment compared with those of the PC patients.Conclusion The addition of I-125 seed implantation can improve the prognosis of patients with advanced PDAC who receive anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy,the post-treatment levels of patients'circulating aTreg cells are reduced,and the combination therapy has good safety.

Objectives:To evaluate the imaging effects of the novel sympathetic nerve imaging agent 18F-FPMBBG in healthy volunteers and heart failure patients.Methods:Four healthy volunteers and four heart failure patients were selected to undergo 18F-FPMBBG positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT)dynamic imaging,the radioactivity distribution characteristics of 18F-FPMBBG in the heart and adjacent organs of the two groups were observed,and the uptake of 18F-FPMBBG by the left ventricular myocardium was compared in the two groups.Results:No adverse effects were observed in all subjects after intravenous injection of 18F-FPMBBG.In healthy volunteers,the heart uptake was rapid and stable,lung uptake was very low,and the blood pool and liver clearance were fast.The heart/liver uptake ratios at 30,60,and 90 minutes after injection were 2.33±0.81,3.29±0.90 and 3.80±1.07,respectively.The average standard uptake value(SUVmean)of 18F-FPMBBG in the heart failure group was significantly lower than that in the healthy volunteer group(P=0.003).The washout rate(WR)was significantly higher in the heart failure group([16.53±2.76]%vs.[3.88±4.51]%,P=0.003).Conclusions:18F-FPMBBG showed good imaging and diagnostic effects in the preliminary imaging of healthy subjects and heart failure patients,and it has the potential to become an ideal cardiac sympathetic nerve imaging agent.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness,safety and economy of generic venlafaxine sustained-release capsules and the original drug in clinical practice based on real world clinical data.Methods This is a multicenter,retrospective real-world study.The information of outpatients who used venlafaxine sustained-release capsules in 7 hospitals from October 2021 to October 2022 was collected,including prescription data and laboratory data.They were divided into generic drug group and original drug group.After the baseline level was corrected by propensity score match method,the prescription daily dose,plasma concentration,medication possession ratio,the continuous medication rate for 3,6 and 9 months,dressing change rate,the incidence of adverse reactions,the frequency of drug use,the average daily cost,the annual cost per capita and the proportion of the average annual cost of drugs were compared between the two groups.Results After the baseline level was corrected by propensity score matching method,the prescription daily dose and medication possession ratio(MPR≥0.8)in the generic drug group were higher than that of the original drug group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically difference in plasma concentration between the two groups(P=0.294).The continuous medication rate for 3,6 and 9 months in the generic drug group were statistically higher than those in the original drug group(P＜0.01).The single dressing change rate of the generic drug group was lower than that of the original drug group(P=0.032).There was no significant difference in the rate of secondary dressing change between the two groups(P=1.000).There were no significant differences in the incidence of abnormal ALT,AST,TC,Na,APTT,and PLC between two groups(P＞0.05).The average daily cost of the generic drug group was lower than that of the original drug group.The per capita annual cost of drugs and the proportion of average annual cost of drugs in the generic drug group were significantly lower than those in the original drug group(P＜0.01).Conclusion In the actual clinical diagnosis and treatment,no clinically significant differences in effectiveness and safety were found between the generic venlafaxine sustained-release capsule and the original-patented,while the economic advantages of the generic drug were better than that of the original-patented drug.

Objective:To compare minimally invasive surgery with traditional open surgery, analyze the current application status of health economic evaluations in the treatment of digestive tract cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer by minimally invasive surgery and provide evidence for the rational selection of clinical treatment, alleviation of disease-related economic burdens, and rational allocation of healthcare resources.Methods:By using five databases, i.e. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, and Embase, a database was established to retrieve all the papers about health economic studies of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer published until December 31, 2023. Literature was analyzed by using software NoteExpress 3.8, and data were processed using Excel 2021. The quality of included papers was evaluated using the CHEERS 2022 checklist, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using software Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 10 919 relevant papers were retrieved, and 59 studies were included. Only 14 studies (23.7%) used standard health economic evaluation methods. Meta-analysis results revealed no significant differences in direct medical expenditure and total expenditure between minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. However, the expenditure for minimally invasive surgery exhibited a significant increase [mean difference ( MD)=5 973.12 yuan, P<0.001], while hospital stay and indirect expenditure significantly decreased ( MD: -4.85 days and -733.79 yuan, P<0.001). In China, for gastric cancer, the direct medical expenditure of endoscopic surgery was lower than that of open surgery ( MD=-33 000.00 yuan) with no significant difference ( P<0.001). In colorectal cancer cases, the direct medical and surgical expenditures for laparoscopic surgery were higher than those for open surgery ( MD: 4 277.94 yuan and 4 267.80 yuan, P<0.001), while the indirect and total medical expenditures decreased ( MD: -768.34 yuan and -159.10 yuan). Hospital stays in patients who had minimally invasive surgery for all three types of cancer were shorter than those who had open surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery shows higher expenditure, but has advantages, such as shorter hospital stay and lower indirect expenditure, and there were no significant differences in direct medical and total expenditures between the two approaches. When conducting health economic evaluation, factors such as postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient's economic status should be considered for their impact on total medical expenditure. It is necessary to pay attention to the application of health economic evaluations in healthcare decision-making.
