Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBUCy(idarubicin,busulfan,and cyclophosphamide)and FABC(fludarabine,cyta-rabine,busulfan,and cyclophosphamide)conditioning regimens followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)for the treatment of medium-to-high risk acute myelocytic leukemia(AML).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed data of 49 patients with medium-to-high risk AML who received IBUCy(n=17)or FABC(n=32)conditioning regimens followed by allo-HSCT between January 2015 and December 2021 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.Hematopoietic reconstruction time,adverse events,and survival outcomes were compared between the two groups to assess the efficacy and safety of the two regimens.Additionally,we analyzed factors that may be associated with prognosis.Results:Hematopoietic reconstruction was successful in all 49 patients.No significant differ-ences were observed between the two groups in terms of hematopoietic reconstruction time.Similarly,no significant differences were ob-served in the 5-year progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)rates between the two groups.The incidence rates of oral mu-cositis,nausea and vomiting,diarrhea(≥grade 3 based on CTCAE v5.0),and chronic graft-versus-host disease(GVHD)were significantly high-er in the IBUCy group than that in the FABC group.However,the incidence rate of hemorrhagic cystitis in the FABC group was significantly higher than that in the IBUCy group.The time from diagnosis to allo-HSCT>6 months and being minimal residual disease(MRD)-positive be-fore transplantation were identified as the risk factors for PFS(P=0.019 and P=0.048,respectively).Patients who were MRD-negative before transplantation had significantly longer PFS when treated with the IBUCy conditioning regimen(P=0.039).Conclusions:Both IBUCy and FABC conditioning regimens prior to allo-HSCT are safe and effective for treating medium-to-high risk AML.Allo-HSCT should be performed as soon as possible when patients achieve their first complete remission.Patients with an MRD-negative status before transplantation tend to have longer PFS.Compared with the FABC regimen,the IBUCy regimen has some advantages;however,attention should be given to the prevention and management of gastrointestinal adverse events and chronic GVHD.

Objective: To explore the correlation between allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) during the perioperative period. Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort of 1,170 patients undergoing isolated CABG was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to explore the nonlinear association between perioperative RBC transfusion (from intraoperative period to 72 hours postoperatively) and HAIs. Results: Among the 1,170 CABG patients, 109 patients (9.2%) received RBC transfusion during the operation or within 3 days after the operation. The risk of HAIs in those who received ≥4 units of RBCs during and within 3 days after the operation was 6.89 times higher than that in the non-transfusion group (95% CI: 3.65-17.20). Furthermore, there was a nonlinear threshold effect between the blood transfusion volume and postoperative HAIs (inflection point: 7.8 units). When the transfusion volume was ≤7.8 units, the risk of HAIs increased by 61% for each additional unit transfused (OR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.21-2.15). Beyond this threshold, no statistically significant association was observed (P=0.289). Conclusion: Perioperative RBC transfusion in CABG patients is associated with an increased incidence of HAIs. The perioperative blood transfusion volume has a curvilinear relationship with the risk of postoperative HAIs. When the blood transfusion volume is ≤7.8 units, the blood transfusion volume has a dose-dependent relationship with postoperative infection, with higher blood transfusion volumes correlating with greater postoperative infection risk. When the blood transfusion volume is >7.8 units, the relationship between the two is not statistically significant. The preventive effect of reducing RBC transfusion on HAIs requires further validation in the future.

Originating in Huangdi Neijing,this theory was pioneered by ZHANG Zhongjing,who established the principles of concurrent heart-lung treatment and integrated therapeutic approaches.It further developed during the Ming-Qing period and has been widely applied in modern clinical practice.This article systematically traces the developmental trajectory of the heart-lung correlation theory in traditional Chinese medicine and analyzes its clinical application in elucidating the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for lung cancer complicated by cardiovascular comorbidities.According to this theoretical framework,lung cancer accompanied by cardiovascular comorbidities exhibits a pathomechanism characterized by fundamental deficiency with symptomatic excess.The deficiency manifests as qi-blood depletion or impaired descent of gathering qi,while the excess is reflected in phlegm-stasis coagulation or heat-toxin accumulation.Key pathological features include progressive transformation,meridian disharmony,deteriorating vital substances,and disruption of inter-organ relationships.Treatment adheres to the principles of concurrent heart-lung intervention,integrated cardiopulmonary modulation,and reciprocal organ regulation.Core therapeutic strategies involve eliminating pathogenic factors,promoting circulation,tonifying deficiencies,and harmonizing functions with specific interventions determined through pattern differentiation.For the pattern of phlegm and blood stasis coagulation affecting both the heart and lung,treatment is guided by the principle of simultaneous treatment of phlegm and stasis,coordinated regulation of heart-lung function,and prioritization of qi circulation.Commonly used formulas include Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction and Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction.In cases of heat toxin accumulation in the heart and lungs,therapy follows the principle of clearing heart-lung fire and dredging collaterals,often using combinations of insect-derived medicines and vine-derived herbs,such as earthworm and Chinese star jasmine stem.In instances of heart-lung qi-blood deficiency,the therapeutic approach emphasizes simultaneous fortification and qi and blood circulation.Formulas such as modified Renshen Yangrong Decoction or Shengxian Decoction,combined with Taohong Siwu Decoction,are commonly used.These formulas strengthen qi without stagnating blood,promote blood circulation without harming healthy qi,and gradually eliminate pathogens.These three treatment approaches embody the characteristics of integrated heart-lung therapy,emphasizing dynamic regulation and holistic concepts.The focus remains on addressing both manifestation and root causes through flexible herb selection to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the changes and significance in clinical cardiac indicators of early cardiac myocardial dysfunction and cardiac substructure dose during conventional radiotherapy for N 2-N 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mediastinal lymph node metastases. Methods:The data of 34 NSCLC patients with lymph node metastases in regions 4-8 admitted to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from June 2022 to August 2023 were observed and analyzed. All patients were treated with volumetric modulated arc therapy with a prescribed dose of 60-70 Gy. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were measured at 6 time points: within 1 week before radiotherapy ( t0); when the cumulative radiotherapy dose reaches 20 Gy ( t20), 40 Gy ( t40), 60 Gy ( t60) during radiotherapy; within 1 week after radiotherapy ( tp); 1 month after radiotherapy( tp1). Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and left atrial global longitudinal strain (LAGLS) were assessed at 4 time points: t0, t40, tp and tp1, respectively. The changes in cardiac indicators at different time points during radiotherapy and their correlation with substructure doses were analyzed using analysis of variance, linear regression analysis, and Pearson correlation. Results:The correlation between cardiac substructure dose and mean heart dose (MHD) in the study cohort in the descending order was as follows: left ventricle ( B=0.43, P<0.001), right ventricle ( B=0.37, P=0.002), left atrium ( B=0.16, P<0.001), and right atrium ( B=0.15, P=0.001). There were significant differences in the changes of LVGLS and LAGLS across different time points ( F=3.13, P=0.029; F=17.18, P<0.001). At 1 month after radiation, LAGLS was significantly decreased compared to pre-radiation levels ( P=0.009), whereas no significant difference was observed in LVGLS ( P=1.000). No significant differences were observed in the changes of cTnT and NT-proBNP across different time points (all P>0.05). Significant correlations were identified between cTnT and right ventricle mean dose at t40 ( r=0.38, P=0.025), as well as between NT-proBNP and right atrium mean dose at t60 and tp ( r=0.54, P=0.001; r=0.41, P=0.016). Conclusions:At present, there is no significant difference between the sensitive serum markers of myocardial injury and LVGLS in detecting early myocardial injury. LAGLS may hold substantial clinical value. There is uncertainty about radiation injury and repair of various cardiac substructures.
