The application of transseptal puncture(TSP)technology in measuring left atrial pressure began in the late 1950s.With continuous development of cardiac interventional technology,TSP has become a routine procedure for mitral valve intervention,atrial fibrillation catheter ablation,and left atrial appendage closure(LAAC),and it also provides an unconventional pathway for transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR),radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular contraction,and ventricular septal defect occlusion.The popularity of transesophageal echocardiography(TEE)technology and the application of intracardiac echocardiography(ICE)have improved the accuracy of TSP location.Besides,the emergence of various novel transseptal puncture needles makes the operation of TSP easier and reduces the incidence of TSP complications.Combined with the related research on TSP technology at home and abroad,this paper aims to make a detailed review about the historic evolution and the latest research progress of TSP technology.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence time and risk factors of anemia in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) after taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) containing zidovudine. METHODS The clinical data of 2 150 AIDS patients who were followed up in the care clinic of Liuzhou People’s Hospital from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2022 were collected. The occurrence time of anemia was analyzed retrospectively, and the risk factors of anemia were analyzed by univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 854 AIDS patients receiving HAART containing zidovudine were collected, and 107 patients (12.53%) developed anemia. Most of them (63.55%) developed anemia within 3 months after treatment. Baseline hemoglobin [OR=2.944, 95%CI (1.195, 7.501), P=0.019], baseline CD4+ T lymphocyte count [OR=2.472, 95%CI (1.117, 5.469), P=0.026] and baseline human immunodeficiency virus-ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) [OR=4.299, 95%CI (1.905, 9.705), P<0.001] was associated with anemia. CONCLUSIONS The median time of anemia in AIDS patients receiving HAART containing zidovudine is the second month after initiation of treatment. Baseline hemoglobin≤110 g/L, baseline CD4+ T lymphocyte E-mail:1315775863@qq.com count≤100 /mm3, and baseline HIV-RNA≥100 000 copies/mL are independent risk factors for anemia in these patients.

Objective:To translate the Attention to Positive and Negative Inventory(APNI)and analyze the validity and reliability in Chinese undergraduates sample,to offer a convenient and reliable tool of measuring the cognitive bias for national researchers. Methods:The English-version APNI went through translation into Chinese, retroversion into English,translation into Chinese again,and revision several stages. Two parts of samples (1450 Chinese college students)were surveyed. Sample one (n=1000)was used for item analysis,exploratory factor a-nalysis (EFA),concurrent validity and reliability analysis,while sample 2 (n=450)was used for confirmatory fac-tor analysis (CFA). Totally 68 subjects of sample 1 were randomly chosen and resurveyed with an interval of one week. Beck depression inventory (BDI-II)and patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9)was used for concurrent validi-ty. Results:Item analysis indicated that the 22 items of Chinese APNI had good discriminability. EFA focused onattention to positive information(API)and attention to negative information(ANI)two factors. CFA showed good model fit (χ2 =1376,RMESA=0. 09,CFI=0. 94). Concurrent validity result showed that the total scores of BDI-II and PHQ-9 was negatively correlated with total scores of API (r=-0. 24,-0. 29,Ps<0. 01 ),and posi-tively correlated with total scores of ANI (r=0. 36,0. 31,Ps<0. 01). The Cronbach'αcoefficients of API and ANI sub-scale were 0. 86 and 0. 82,while the retest reliability coefficients were 0. 79 and 0. 62. Conclusion:It suggests that the Chinese APNI has good validity and reliability in a sample of college students,which could be used to eval-uate the cognitive bias of Chinese college students.
