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 evaluate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of infections occurring during hospitalization in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) treated with new generation therapies (including immuno-modulatory drugs,proteasome inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies).Methods:The clinical data were collected from 155 patients with multiple myeloma who were treated in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from March,2017 to March,2022 and were retrospectively analyzed.For this study,the following therapies were considered to be new generation therapies:lenalidomide,pomadomide,bortezomib,ixazomib,daratumumab. The clinical characteristics and risk factors of infection were analyzed.Results:A total of 155 patients were included in this study.The median follow-up time was 20 months.Of 155 patients with MM,242 infection episodes were identified.Among the 242 infections,the incidence of clinically defined infection (CDI)was the highest (186,76.86％),followed by microbiologically defined infection (MDI)in 50 cases (20.66％),and fever at unknown focus (FUF)in 6 cases (2.48％).35 cases (14.46％)of bacteria,10 cases (4.13％)of viruses,and 5 cases (2. 07％)of fungi were clearly infected.The most common site of infection was the lower respiratory tract in 90 cases (37.19％),the upper respiratory tract in 83 cases (34.30％),and the digestive tract in 27 cases (11.16％).All-cause mortality was 8.39％(13/155).In univariate analysis,there was a higher correlation between ISS stage Ⅲ,the number of treatment lines ≥2,frail and infected patients with multiple myeloma.In multivariate analysis,ISS stage Ⅲ(OR=2.96,95％CI:1.19-7.40,P=0.02),the number of treatment lines ≥2 (OR=2.91,95％CI:1.13-7.51,P=0.03)and frail (OR=3.58,95％CI:1.44-8.89,P=0. 01)were risk factors for infection in patients with multiple myeloma in the era of new drugs.Conclusion:Patients with multiple myeloma treated with new agents are prone to bacterial infection during hospitalization.ISS stage Ⅲ,lines of therapy(≥2)and frail were associated with high risk for infection.

Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)and its effect on inflammatory factors.Methods:A total of 94 AMI patients after PCI admitted in Hospital of China University of Geosciences(Wuhan)between June 2020 and August 2021 were selected and randomly divided into control group(n=47,routine therapy)and study group(n=47,individualized cardiac rehabilitation therapy based on routine therapy).Cardiopulmonary exercise indexes,blood lipid indexes,inflamma-tory factors and cardiac function indexes were compared between two groups before and 3 months after treatment.Results:Compared with control group after treatment,participants in study group had significant higher anaerobic threshold[(15.46±3.07)ml·min-1·kg-1 vs.(19.37±3.27)ml·min 1·kg-1],maximal oxygen uptake[(21.26±4.05)ml·min-1·kg-1 vs.(25.31±4.10)ml·min-1·kg-1],left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(52.20±5.75)％vs.(57.91±5.17)％],6min walking distance(6MWD)[(430.58±43.87)m vs.(481.52±44.57)m]and levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)[(1.30±0.32)mmol/L vs.(1.49±0.35)mmol/L]and interleukin(IL)-10[(5.45±0.55)pg/ml vs.(6.19±0.59)pg/ml](P＜0.01 all),and significant lower levels of triglyceride(TG)[(1.88±0.65)mmol/L vs.(1.54±0.63)mmol/L],total cholesterol(TC)[(3.49±0.54)mmol/L vs.(3.13±0.47)mmol/L],low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)[(2.12±0.59)mmol/L vs.(1.57±0.52)mmol/L],tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)[(128.34±14.5)pg/ml vs.(99.28±8.51)pg/ml],leptin(LEP)[(623.49±61.27)pg/ml vs.(483.57±47.61)pg/ml]and N terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)[(396.59±18.12)pg/ml vs.(302.96±17.56)pg/ml](P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Conclusion:Cardiac rehabilitation therapy can significantly im-prove the blood lipid levels,cardiac function and exercise endurance,and effectively reduce the levels of inflammatory fac-tors in AMI patients after PCI,which is an important component of secondary prevention in these patients.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have been widely used in regenerative medicine, but there is limited research on the stability of UC-MSCs formulation during production. This study aims to assess the stability of the cell stock solution and intermediate product throughout the production process, as well as the final product following reconstitution, in order to offer guidance for the manufacturing process and serve as a reference for formulation reconstitution methods. Three batches of cell formulation were produced and stored under low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) during cell stock solution and intermediate product stages. The storage time intervals for cell stock solution were 0, 2, 4, and 6 h, while for intermediate products, the intervals were 0, 1, 2, and 3 h. The evaluation items included visual inspection, viable cell concentration, cell viability, cell surface markers, lymphocyte proliferation inhibition rate, and sterility. Additionally, dilution and culture stability studies were performed after reconstitution of the cell product. The reconstitution diluents included 0.9% sodium chloride injection, 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 2% human serum albumin, with dilution ratios of 10-fold and 40-fold. The storage time intervals after dilution were 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 h. The reconstitution culture media included DMEM medium, DMEM + 2% platelet lysate, 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and the culture duration was 24 h. The evaluation items were viable cell concentration and cell viability. The results showed that the cell stock solution remained stable for up to 6 h under both low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) conditions, while the intermediate product remained stable for up to 3 h under the same conditions. After formulation reconstitution, using sodium chloride injection diluted with 1% or 2% human serum albumin maintained a viability of over 80% within 4 h. It was observed that different dilution factors had an impact on cell viability. After formulation reconstitution, cultivation in medium with 2% platelet lysate resulted in a cell viability of over 80% after 24 h. In conclusion, the stability of cell stock solution within 6 h and intermediate product within 3 h meets the requirements. The addition of 1% or 2% human serum albumin in the reconstitution diluent can better protect the post-reconstitution cell viability.

Objective To investigate the environmental contamination related to first patient with carbapenem-re-sistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)infection and the infection status of relevant patients in a newly established intensive care unit(ICU)of a hospital in Tibetan area,and analyze the transmission risk.Methods From the ad-mission in ICU of a patients who was first detected CRAB on November 15,2021 to the 60th day of hospitalization,all patients who stayed in ICU for＞48 hours were performed active screening on CRAB.On the 30th day and 60th day of the admission to the ICU of the first CRAB-infected patient,environment specimens were taken respectively 2 hours after high-frequency diagnostic and therapeutic activities but before disinfection,and after disinfection but before medical activities.CRAB was cultured with chromogenic culture medium.Results Among the 13 patients who were actively screened,1 case was CRAB positive,he was transferred from the ICU of a tertiary hospital to the ICU of this hospital on November 19th.On the 40th day of admission to the ICU,he had fever,increased frequency for sputum suction,and CRAB was detected.The drug sensitivity spectrum was similar to that of the first case,and he also stayed in the adjacent bed of the first case.64 environmental specimens were taken,and 9 were positive for CRAB,with a positive rate of 14.06％,8 sampling points such as the washbasin,door handle and bed rail were positive for CRAB after high-frequency diagnostic and therapeutic activities.After routine disinfection,CRAB was detected from the sink of the washbasin.Conclusion For the prevention and control of CRAB in the basic-level ICU in ethnic areas,it is feasible to conduct risk assessment on admitted patients and adopt bundled prevention and con-trol measures for high-risk patients upon admission.Attention should be paid to the contaminated areas(such as washbasin,door handle,and bed rail)as well as the effectiveness of disinfection of sink of washbasin.

[Objective]To explore the efficacy of Solifenacin in the treatment of children with idiopathic overactive bladder(OAB).[Methods]The study included 67 children with idiopathic OAB treated in the urology clinic of our hospital from March 2022 to March 2023.After at least 2-week-long behavioral therapy showed no significant therapeutic effect,52 of the cases in the trial group were given oral Solifenacin 5 mg once daily and the other 15 cases in the control group con-tinued the behavioral therapy.The cases in trial group were subdivided into OAB-dry group(27 cases without urinary in-continence)and OAB-wet group(25 cases with urinary incontinence).The 3-day micturition diary,OAB Symptom Scores(OABSS)and the adverse reactions were recorded and analyzed before,at Weeks 2,4,8 and 12 after the treat-ment.[Results]Of all the 67 cases who completed a 3-month follow-up,44 were cured including 41 in the trial group and 3 in the control group,4 presented with adverse reactions.After the 3-month follow-up,the OABSS declined markedly in trial group than in control group(Z=4.524,P<0.001);the cure rates in trial group and control group are 78.8%and 20%respectively,with significant difference(χ2=15.367,P<0.001).At each follow-up,we found increased mean voided vol-ume(F=9.707,P<0.001),reduced mean voiding frequency during daytime(F=3.837,P=0.009)and decreased voiding urgency(χ2=482.835,P<0.001).After the 3-month follow-up,the cure rates in OAB-dry group and OAB-wet group are 81.5%and 76%respectively,with no significant difference(χ2=0.234,P=0.629).[Conclusions]In children with idiopath-ic OAB,oral Solifenacin 5 mg once daily could significantly increase mean voided volume,reduce mean voiding frequency during daytime,relieve symptoms of urinary urgency and lead to fewer adverse reactions,but is not significantly effective for the treatment of urinary incontinence in OAB-wet children.

This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of Morinda officinalis iridoid glycosides (MOIG) on bone loss of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats, and the mechanism of osteoclast function and activity induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RA rats were established by injecting bovin type II collagen. The Bio-ethic Committee of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University approved all experimental protocols associated with this study (IACUC-20180410-03). The collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats were administered drug by gavage for 8 weeks; the femoral trabecular micro-structure changes were observed in CIA rats by micro-CT; the LPS-induced osteoclasts model further observed the effect and mechanism of anti-inflammatory osteoporosis in vitro. The results indicated that MOIG could markedly increase bone mineral density (BMD) in CIA rats, improve trabecular micro-structure. In vitro studies demonstrated that MOIG could significantly inhibit osteoclastogensis and differentiation, suppress tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, F-actin ring formation, TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) recruitment, and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-Bα (IκBα) degradation as well as p65 phosphorylation, thereby repressing nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway activation. Subsequently, MOIG effectively inhibited osteoclast nuclear factor of activated T-cells c1 (NFATc1) and cellular oncogene Fos (c-Fos) expression, as well as bone resorption related protein activity including matrix metalloprotein 9 (MMP-9) and cathepsin K (CtsK). Meanwhile, MOIG also repressed the phosphorylation expression of Janus activating kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), thereby inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway activation. Moreover, further studies found that MOIG could suppress glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) activity, and GSK-3β gene silencing could markedly inhibit oetsoclast F-actin ring formation as well as the phosphorylation expression of p65 and STAT3. Of note, compared with GSK-3β gene silencing group, there was no significant difference in the group treated with both MOIG with GSK-3β gene silencing simultaneously. Thus, the results suggested that MOIG may inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway activation via regulating GSK-3β, thereby alleviating bone destruction in RA.
