Objective:To explore the risk fall death associated with compound hot extremes.Methods:This study collected data on fall deaths in Guangdong, Hunan, and Zhejiang Provinces from 2013 to 2018 and matched their exposure to meteorological data. Based on a time-stratified case-crossover design, a conditional logistic regression model embedded with a cross-basis function of the distributed lag nonlinear model was applied to estimate the risk of fall to death due to compound hot extremes.Results:Compared with regular days, compound hot extremes significantly increased the risk of death from falls ( OR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.09-1.30), and women ( OR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.11-1.45) and the elderly age 65 and above ( OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.12-1.39) were more sensitive to compound hot extremes. The maximum duration of compound hot extremes was 7 days, and the maximum intensity was 6.2 ℃, and the duration and intensity were proportional to the risk of death from falls. The risk of death from falls increased by 12% ( OR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.18) each day, increasing in duration after linearization. The risk of death from falls increased by 16% ( OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.10-1.22) for each 1 ℃ increase in linearized intensity. Conclusion:Compound hot extremes increase the risk of death cases from falls.

AIM To compare the volatile constituents from the rhizomes and fibrous roots of Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC..METHODS Paraffin sections of rhizomes and fibrous roots were made,and their transverse sections were observed under an optical microscope.Volatile oil was extracted by hydrodistillation.The contents of atractylodin,β-eudesmol,hinesol and atractyline were detected by GC-MS,and the volatile constituents were analysed.Principal component analysis and differential metabolite screening were performed by multivariate statistical analysis software.RESULTS In the transverse section of rhizomes,large oil chambers were observed,while oil cells were found in the fibrous roots.The volatile oil content in the fibrous roots is 24.88％ of that in the rhizomes.A total of 55 common components,2 unique components of rhizomes and 6 unique components of fibrous roots were detected.The ratio of β-eudesmol,hinesol,atractyline and atractylodin in the rhizomes was 22.84∶1.16∶2.78∶1.00,while that in the fibrous roots was 5.59∶0.22∶0.97∶1.00.The volatile constituents in the rhizomes were significantly different from those in the fibrous root,and the groups were well discriminated from each other.Based on the OPLS-DA model,12 differential metabolites including hinesol and β-eudesmol were screened.CONCLUSION The volatile constituents of the rhizomes and fibrous roots of A.lancea are similar,but the contents are different,and the latter has a greater potential for comprehensive utilization.

Objective To monitor the antifungal resistance of clinical isolates of Candida spp.in the East China region.Methods MALDI-TOF MS or molecular methods were used to re-identify the strains collected from January 2018 to December 2022.Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the broth microdilution method.The susceptibility test results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of 2022 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)documents M27 M44s-Ed3 and M57s-Ed4.Results A total of 3 026 strains of Candida were collected,65.33％of which were isolated from sterile body sites,mainly from blood(38.86％)and pleural effusion/ascites(10.21％).The predominant species of Candida were Candida albicans(44.51％),followed by Candida parapsilosis complex(19.46％),Candida tropicalis(13.98％),Candida glabrata(10.34％),and other Candida species(0.79％).Candida albicans showed overall high susceptibility rates to the 10 antifungal drugs tested(the lowest rate being 93.62％).Only 2.97％of the strains showed dose-dependent susceptibility(SDD)to fluconazole.Candida parapsilosis complex had a SDD rate of 2.61％and a resistance rate of 9.42％to fluconazole,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida glabrata had a SDD rate of 92.01％and a resistance rate of 7.99％to fluconazole,resistance rates of 32.27％and 48.24％to posaconazole and voriconazole non-wild-type strains(NWT),respectively,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida tropicalis had resistance rates of 29.55％and 26.24％to fluconazole and voriconazole,respectively,resistance rates of 76.60％and 21.99％to posaconazole and echinocandins non-wild-type strains(NWT),and a resistance rate of 2.36％to echinocandins.Conclusions The prevalence and species distribution of Candida spp.in the East China region are consistent with previous domestic and international reports.Candida glabrata exhibits certain degree of resistance to fluconazole,while Candida tropicalis demonstrates higher resistance to triazole drugs.Additionally,echinocandins resistance has emerged in Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,and Candida parapsilosis.

Emaciation is a common physical condition in clinical practice,often accompanied by symptoms related to"excessive fire in thin people".Insufficient yin-qi is the main physiological and pathological basis of emaciation,and excessive dryness-heat is the secondary manifestation.The disease involves five viscera,with the spleen as the core.The principle of treatment is to nourish yin-qi as the main method,and to dissipate stagnant heat as the auxiliary method.Specifically,it includes two aspects:treating the root cause and treating the symptoms.Treating the root cause should nourish yin-qi to improve the"emaciation"constitution,and treating the symptoms should dissipate stagnant heat to eliminate the"excessive fire"state.The importance of the two should be determined ac-cording to the severity and urgency of the excessive fire.Clinically,the addition and subtraction of medicinal ingredients are made ac-cording to factors such as the urgency of the root cause and symptoms,the state of emaciation and the ability to eat,the degree of defi-ciency or excess of fire-heat,the pathogenesis of the disease,and the season.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and interventions associated with drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room.Methods:Bases on the adverse drug reaction database from the emergency medicine center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, clinical data of patients who experienced drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room between November 2019 and November 2023 were collected, including gender, age, history of previous adverse drug reactions, allergy history, Charlson comorbidity index, medication details, information related to drug-induced anaphylaxis (onset time, clinical manifestations), interventions, outcomes, and follow-up. The clinical characteristics and interventions in these patients were analyzed.Results:During the study period, a total of 398 772 patients in the emergency infusion room in our hospital received intravenous infusion of drugs. Of them, 625 cases developed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and 75 cases developed drug-induced anaphylaxis, accounting for 0.02% (75/398 772) of the total infusion patients and 12.0% (75/625) of all ADR cases. Of the 75 patients with anaphylaxis, 30 cases (40%) were classified as grade Ⅱ, and 45 cases (60%) as grade Ⅲ, with no grade Ⅳ cases. The most common drugs involved in 75 cases of anaphylaxis were anti-infective drugs (41 cases, 54.7%). Drug-induced anaphylaxis exhibited diverse clinical manifestations, with cardiovascular symptoms being the most common, primarily varying degrees of transient hypotension (67 cases, 89.3%), followed by systemic and neurological symptoms, including profuse sweating (31 cases, 41.3%) and dizziness (28 cases, 37.3%). All 75 patients with anaphylaxis were treated with measures such as discontinuation of medication, replacement of infusion sets, rapid assessment of circulation and respiration, and monitoring of vital signs, of which 65 (86.7%) received rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, 6 (8.0%) received intravenous injection of glucocorticoids, 3 (4.0%) received intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg epinephrine, and 2 (2.7%) received antihistamines. All 75 patients showed improvement in symptoms, and no sequelae or deaths were found.Conclusions:In the emergency infusion room, the severity of anaphylaxis is mainly grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ with a good prognosis after timely intervention. The treatment measures mainly focus on rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, and the use of epinephrine is relatively low.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of elderly acute pulmonary thromboembolism(APE)patients complicated with preexisting atrial fibrillation(AF)and the impact of preexisting AF on in-hospital adverse outcomes in elderly patients with APE.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on elderly APE patients with preexisting AF hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2021.We compared the comorbidities, symptoms, signs, laboratory test results and echocardiographic features, simplified pulmonary embolism severity index(sPESI)scores and adverse in-hospital outcomes between the preexisting AF group and the non-AF group.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital adverse outcomes in elderly patients with APE.Results:A total of 240 patients diagnosed with APE were enrolled.There were 120 patients in the AF group and 120 patients in the non-AF group.For patients in the AF group and the non-AF group, the proportions with chronic heart failure were 38.3%(46/120)and 15.8%(19/120), the proportions with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(DVT)were 36.7%(44/120)and 65.8%(79/120), the left ventricular ejection fractions(LVEF)were(59±10)% and(62±7)%, and hospital stays were(15±7)and(11±4)days, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=15.381, 20.429, t=2.527, -4.710, all P<0.05). The incidences of in-hospital adverse outcomes in the AF group and the non-AF group were 4.2%(5/120)and 3.3%(4/120), respectively, with no significant difference( χ2=0.000, P=1.000). The overall incidence of in-hospital adverse outcomes was 3.8%(9/240). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated lactic acid was an independent risk factor for in-hospital adverse outcomes( OR=2.753, 95% CI: 1.367-5.542, P=0.005). However, AF( OR=2.880, 95% CI: 0.587-14.141, P=0.192)and sPESI score( OR=2.056, 95% CI: 0.904-4.673, P=0.086)were not associated with in-hospital adverse outcomes. Conclusions:Elderly APE patients with preexisting AF have a relatively low incidence of DVT, but a higher proportion have concurrent chronic heart failure and need a longer hospital stay.Elevated lactic acid is an independent risk factor for in-hospital adverse outcomes of elderly APE patients with preexisting AF.However, preexisting AF has no predictive value for in-hospital adverse outcomes in elderly patients with APE.
