BACKGROUND: The available evidence regarding the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on patients receiving dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PCI and clinical outcomes as compared with medical therapy alone in patients undergoing dialysis with CAD in China. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 30 tertiary medical centers across 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021 to include patients on dialysis with CAD. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, the individual components of MACE, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between PCI and outcomes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to account for potential between-group differences. RESULTS: Of the 1146 patients on dialysis with significant CAD, 821 (71.6%) underwent PCI. After a median follow-up of 23.0 months, PCI was associated with a 43.0% significantly lower risk for MACE (33.9% [ n  = 278] vs . 43.7% [ n  = 142]; adjusted hazards ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.71), along with a slightly increased risk for bleeding outcomes that did not reach statistical significance (11.1% vs . 8.3%; adjusted hazards ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, PCI was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Subgroup analysis did not modify the association of PCI with patient outcomes. These primary findings were consistent across IPTW, PSM, and competing risk analyses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that PCI in patients on dialysis with CAD was significantly associated with lower MACE and mortality when comparing with those with medical therapy alone, albeit with a slightly increased risk for bleeding events that did not reach statistical significance.

OBJECTIVE To explore the short-term efficacy,safety and related influencing factors of subcutaneous immunotherapy(SCIT)in children with allergic rhinitis(AR).METHODS Retrospective analyzed the clinical data of 147 children with AR who underwent SCIT at Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University from August 2020 to May 2024.The clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters were collected,the visual analogue scale(VAS),total symptom score(TSS),total medication score(TMS)and combined symptom medication score(CSMS)were compared at the baseline and 3,6 and 12 months after treatment.The incidence of local adverse reactions(LRs)and systemic adverse reactions(SRs)during treatment was also documented.RESULTS A total of 147 children with AR aged 5-18 years were included in the study.A significant reduction was observed in VAS,TSS,TMS and CSMS at months 3,6 and 12 of follow up compared with baseline(all P<0.001),and the short-term onset time was months 3 after treatment.The level of VitD3 in the effective group was significantly higher than that in the ineffective group(P<0.001).Serum VitD3 level was negatively correlated with clinical symptom(R=-0.3,P=0.026).The total number of injections in 147 children was 3201.LRs occurred in 52 children(35.4％),the number of injections was 69(2.2％).SRs occurred in 21 children(14.3％),and the number of injections was 34(1.1％).No grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ SRs occurred.In the logistic regression analysis,body mass index(BMI)was a risk factor for LRs(OR:2.220,95％CI:1.009-4.887,P=0.048).CONCLUSION SCIT demonstrates significant early efficacy and a favorable safety profile safety in children with AR.Serum Vitamin D3 deficiency can affect the short-term efficacy of SCIT.Overweight and obese children are prone to develop local adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the effect of 9S management combined with plan-do-check-adjust(PDCA)cycle on the incidence of nonstandard surgical instrument handover in urological endoscopic surgery in operating room and supply room.Methods A total of 760 instruments of urological endoscopic surgery used from June 2022 to December 2022 were selected as control group and received routine management.A total of 920 instruments of urological endoscopic surgery used from January 2023 to June 2023 were selected as observation group,and 9S management and PDCA cycle management mode were administrated in instrument handover.The management performance and the satisfaction of surgeons to the instrument nursing staff were compared between the two groups.Results The accuracy of instrument identification and master rate of assembly and disassembly of instruments in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of instrument cleaning and packaging errors in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The satisfaction of surgeons to the instrument nursing staff in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,but no significant difference was found(P>0.05).Conclusion The 9S management combined with PDCA cycle management solves the problem of transport and handover of urological instruments between operating room and supply room,decreases the error rates of disassembly,cleaning,assembly and packaging of instruments,improves work efficiency,reduces the probability of instrument damage,and saves costs.

With the development of clinical related disciplines, the update and establishment of relevant standards/guidelines at home and abroad, GBZ 185-2006 Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene (hereinafter referred to as “GBZ 185-2006”) was unable to meet clinical needs. Therefore, the GBZ 185-2006 was revised based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, in accordance with relevant laws/regulations and relevant standards/guidelines in combination with review of research data on occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) home and abroad, and the development of clinical practice and clinical related disciplines. The main modifications include: adding terms and definitions of OMDT, modifying the description of clinical manifestations of the diagnostic principles, adjusting the description of latency, deleting the diagnostic requirement of the incidence probability, adding the specific allergen patch test as the etiological diagnostic index, standardizing the application scope, operating procedure and precautions of the specific allergen patch test. In addition, the relevant content of “Basic Characteristics and Clinical Types of Skin Damage of Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene” in Appendix A is improved, the treatment principles are revised, and the content of new progress in treatment, artificial liver application, are added. The revised GBZ 185-2024 Diagnostic Standard for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene is more scientific and practical, and can provide technical basis for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of OMDT in medical and health institutions.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of simultaneous or staged video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomic segmentectomy for bilateral double primary lung cancer (DPLC).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 76 patients with bilateral DPLC who underwent VATS anatomic segmentectomy in Luzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from February 2020 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were classified into the simultaneous bilateral thoracoscopic surgery group (the simultaneous group, 44 cases) and the staged thoracoscopic surgery group (the staged group, 32 cases) on the basis of the surgical methods. The intraoperative conditions, perioperative indexes and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the gender, age, pathological type,postoperative TNM staging of both groups (all P > 0.05). The anesthesia awakening time of the first and second stages of surgery in the staged group was (11±3) min and (13±4) min, which was shorter than that in the simultaneous group [(16±4) min] ( t values were 5.27 and 3.51, both P < 0.05). The number of drainage tubes placed in the simultaneous group was less than that in the sum of two stages of the staged group [(1.9±0.5) tubes vs. (2.2±0.5) tubes, t = 3.40, P = 0.001]. The duration of thoracic drainage tube retention, the postoperative total drainage flow, the days of hospitalization, the first postoperative landing time, and the total treatment cost in the first and second stages of surgery in the staged group were lower than those in the simultaneous group (all P < 0.05), while the postoperative total drainage flow, the days of hospitalization, and the total treatment cost in the sum of two stages of the staged group were higher than those in the simultaneous group (all P < 0.05). The total incidence of complications in the simultaneous group was higher than that in the staged group 1 month after surgery [18.18% (8/44) vs. 3.13% (1/32)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.02, P = 0.045). The scores of activities of daily living, arterial partial pressure of oxygen, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and blood oxygen saturation in the simultaneous group were lower than those in the staged group (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Staged VATS anatomic segmentectomy for bilateral DPLC has few complications and good ability to perform activities of daily living, whereas the treatment cost of simultaneous bilateral thoracoscopic surgery is low. Clinicians may recommend prioritizing simultaneous bilateral thoracoscopic surgery after comprehensively considering the patients ' physical and economic conditions.

ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of early postoperative comprehensive rehabilitation on elbow joint dysfunction and ulnar nerve injury in children and adolecents with supracondylar fracture of humerus complicated with ulnar nerve injury. MethodsA total of 49 children with supracondylar fracture of humerus complicated with ulnar nerve injury after operation were selected from January, 2016 to December, 2021 in Wangjing Hospital, which were randomly divided into control group (n = 24) and treatment group (n = 25). The control group accepted wax therapy and acupuncture, and the treatment group accepted medicine fumigation, joint mobilization and electromyographic biofeedback, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with The Hospital for Special Surgery Elbow score (HSS) and Medical Research Neurotrauma Society Report (MCRR) before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatent, the HSS scores increased in both groups (|t| > 8.345, P < 0.001). The HSS score was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (t = 4.536, P < 0.001). The d-value of HSS scores before and after treatment was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (t = 3.717, P < 0.05). The rate of excellent recovery of ulnar nerve function was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (χ² = 5.975, P < 0.05). ConclusionEarly postoperative comprehensive rehabilitation could romote the recovery of elbow function and ulnar nerve injury in children and youth with supracondylar fracture of humerus complicated with ulnar nerve injury.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Wumei pill on ulcerative colitis(UC)in mice based on the anti oxidative stress pathway of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/antioxidant response element(ARE).Methods Seventy SPF male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group,the UC group,the mesalazine group(MES group,0.82 g/kg MES),the low dose Wumei pill group(WMW-L group,5 g/kg crude drug),the middle dose Wumei pill group(WMW-M group,10 g/kg crude drug),the high dose Wumei pill group(WMW-H group,20 g/kg crude drug)and the high dose Wumei pills+Nrf2 inhibitor ML-385 group(WMW-H+ML-385 group,Wumei pills crude drug 20 g/kg+20 mg/kg ML-385),with 10 rats in each group.The disease activity index(DAI)score and colonic mucosa injury score were performed in mice after the last administration.Pathological changes of colonic mucosa in mice were observed by HE staining.The levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and IL-6 in serum and colon tissue of mice were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The content of malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum and colon tissue of mice was determined by thiobarbituric acid colorimetry(TBA).The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)in serum and colon tissue of mice was measured by xanthine oxidase method.The activity of glutathione peroxidase(GSH-px)in serum and colon tissue of mice was determined by direct method with dithiodinitrobenzoic acid(DTNB).The positive expression of Nrf2 in colon tissue of mice was observed by immunohistochemistry.The expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1(NQO1)proteins in colon tissue of mice were detected by Western blot assay.Results Compared with the control group,the DAI score,colonic mucosa injury score,colonic histopathology score,levels of IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA in serum and colonic tissue,and expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 protein in colonic tissue of mice were increased in the UC group,levels of SOD and GSH-px in serum and colon tissue decreased(P＜0.05),the colon mucosa of mice was seriously damaged.Compared with the UC group,changes of corresponding indexes were contrary to the above in the MES group,the WMW-M group and the WMW-H group.However,the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 proteins in colon tissue were increased(P＜0.05),and the damage of colon mucosa in mice was alleviated.Changes of the above indexes were dose-dependent in the WMW-L group,the WMW-M group and the WMW-H group.There were no significant differences in the above indexes between the WMW-H group and the MES group.ML-385 attenuated the improvement effect of high dose Wumei pill on colon mucosa injury.Conclusion Wumei pill may alleviate the colon mucosal damage of UC mice by activating Nrf2/ARE antioxidant stress pathway.
