Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a widely utilized therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the clinical implementation is constrained by the stringent preparation conditions of radioembolization agents. Herein, we incorporated the superstable homogeneous iodinated formulation technology (SHIFT), simultaneously utilizing an enhanced solvent form in a carbon dioxide supercritical fluid environment, to encapsulate radionuclides (such as 131I,177Lu, or 18F) with lipiodol for the preparation of radiolipiodol. The resulting radiolipiodol exhibited exceptional stability and ultra-high labeling efficiency (≥99%) and displayed notable intratumoral radionuclide retention and in vivo stability more than 2 weeks following locoregional injection in subcutaneous tumors in mice and orthotopic liver tumors in rats and rabbits. Given these encouraging findings, 18F was authorized as a radiotracer in radiolipiodol for clinical trials in HCC patients, and showed a favorable tumor accumulation, with a tumor-to-liver uptake ratio of ≥50 and minimal radionuclide leakage, confirming the feasibility of SHIFT for TARE applications. In the context of transforming from preclinical to clinical screening, the preparation of radiolipiodol by SHIFT represents an innovative physical strategy for radionuclide encapsulation. Hence, this work offers a reliable and efficient approach for TARE in HCC, showing considerable promise for clinical application (ChiCTR2400087731).

ObjectiveTo investigate a suspected outbreak of healthcare-associated infection with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in a geriatric emergency ward, and to provide references for the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant bacteria in a hospital in Shanghai. MethodsOn-site epidemiological investigation, combined with environmental hygiene monitoring and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) molecular typing method, were adopted to investigate a suspected outbreak of CRKP infection in the geriatric emergency ward of a hospital from October to November 2022, aiming at finding out factors caused the outbreak before taking corresponding control measures. ResultsA total of 3 cases of healthcare-associated CRKP infection were identified, of which 2 cases were homologous to a previous case of community-associated CRKP infection. What’s more, the 2 cases lived in the same ward with the latter and with adjacent beds, but the third case was non-homologous to the community-associated infection case. A total of 46 samples were collected from the environmental surfaces and the hands of healthcare workers, of which 7 samples tested positive for CRKP and were identical to the strains from the 2 healthcare-associated infection cases and the 1 community-associated infection case, originating from the bedrails, bedside tables, surface of non-invasive ventilator, bed curtains and panels of monitoring equipment, with a detection rate of 15.22%. But none of the 11 samples from the hands of healthcare workers tested positive for CRKP. The outbreak was effectively controlled after taking specific prevention and control measures such as strengthening personnel management, intensifying environmental cleaning and disinfection and strictly enforcing hand hygiene among healthcare workers. Subsequently, no similar new cases were reported during the 14-day follow-up period. ConclusionIncomplete environmental cleaning and disinfection, as well as inadequate enforcement of hand hygiene among heatheare workers may have contributed to the suspected outbreak of CRKP in the geriatric emergency ward. Early warning and timely investigation of suspected outbreaks of multidrug-resistant bacteria are crucial for preventing and controlling such outbreaks in hospitals.

Aim To develop and validate a dynamic nomogram to predict the risk of no-reflow phenomenon(NRP)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STE-MI)by constructing HALP based on haemoglobin(Hb),albumin(Alb),lymphocytes(LYM),and platelets(PLT).Methods A retrospective analysis of 449 STEMI patients admitted to Nanyang Central Hospital from January 2022 to Janu-ary 2024 was divided into 145 cases in the NRP group and 304 cases in the normal reflow group according to whether the patients developed NRP after surgery.HALP was calculated based on Hb,Alb,LYM and PLT observations.Independ-ent influences on NRP risk were determined by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Dynamic nomogram of NRP risk after PCI in STEMI patients were developed using the R language correlation software package.Results The incidence of NRP was 32.3%(145/449)among 449 patients with NRP.The HALP of patients in the NRP group was lower than that of patients in the normal reflow group(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of HALP for diagno-sis of NRP was 0.880(0.847-0.909),and the Kappa coefficient of its optimal cutoff value ≤3.04 versus patients with accurate diagnosis of NRP was 0.612.The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age,diabetes mellitus,and high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)were independent risk factors for NRP after PCI in STEMI pa-tients(P<0.05),and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and HALP were independent protective factors(P<0.05).A dynamic nomogram(https://xz0311.shinyapps.io/DynNamicNRP/)based on HALP combined with age,di-abetes,LVEF,and hs-CRP was effective in predicting the risk of post-PCI NRP in STEM1 patients.Conclusion HALP is more effective than traditional risk factors in predicting NRP risk in STEMI patients after PCI,and the dynamic nomogram developed based on HALP will help develop personalized treatment strategies for patients with high NRP risk.

To examine the global research trends and emerging focal points in the field ofgeriatric interdisciplinary team (GIT) from 2000 to 2023, so as to offer insights and reference for related research in China. English literature related to GIT published from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2023 were searched in the Web of Science database. The literature information was extracted using VOSviewer 1.6.18 software to create a cooperation network diagram highlighting high-producing countries/regions and research institutions, as well as a high-frequency keyword table. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software was used to analyze the co-occurrence and clustering of authors, research institutions, countries/regions, etc., and the "bibliometrix" package of R was used to analyze the characteristics of high-frequency keywords in the literature. A total of 965 GIT-related documents including 921 original articles and 44 reviews were gathered. There was a noticeable rise in annual publications over time. The United States led in publication quantity (357 articles, 37.0%) and total citations (8656). The University of Michigan was highlighted as the top research institution with 27 articles (2.8%). Author Johan Flamaing from the University of Leuven in Belgium had the highest output with 12 articles (1.2%) and the highest co-citation frequency(163 times). The In the last two decades, research on GIT has garnered significant attention within the discipline. Developed countries, particularly the United States, have taken a leading role in this field. Presently, GIT research is centered on conducting comprehensive geriatric assessments and implementing corresponding interventions for elderly patients with frailty and hip fractures. Additionally, research is focused on GIT interventions for addressing potentially inappropriate medication use and preventing falls in the elderly, as well as managing elderly patients with tumors, dementia, and delirium. The exploration of interventions remains a key area of interest in current research. In the future, there is potential for conducting more high-quality qualitative research related to GIT interventions for elderly patients receiving long-term care or home care, as well as for enhancing geriatric medicine teaching in GIT.

To investigate the collective influence of sarcopenia on the extended prognosis of hospitalized elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Patients with T2DM aged 65 years and older, who were admitted to the Geriatrics Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2017 and January 2021, were consecutively enrolled in the study. The presence of sarcopenia was evaluated based on the diagnostic criteria established by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia(AWGS) in 2014. Additionally, assessments were made on the patients' comorbidities, functional status, nutritional status, and geriatric syndromes. Follow-up was conducted through outpatient visits and telephone calls to monitor outcomes such as severe disability, rehospitalization, and all-cause mortality. Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate the impact of concurrent sarcopenia on the long-term prognosis of hospitalized elderly individuals with T2DM. A total of 244 elderly inpatients with T2DM who met specific criteria were included in the study, comprising 110 males(45.1%) and 134 females(54.9%), with ages ranging from 65 to 93 years and a median age of 74 years. Sarcopenia was observed in 25.4%(62/244) of patients. Over a follow-up period of three to seven years(median 5.6 years), elderly T2DM patients with sarcopenia exhibited significantly higher rates of severe disability, rehospitalization, and all-cause death compared to those without sarcopenia(all The prevalence of sarcopenia is notably high among hospitalized elderly patients with T2DM, greatly affecting their long-term prognosis. It is imperative for clinicians to prioritize screening and implement interventions for sarcopenia in elderly T2DM patients to improve their quality of life and overall prognosis.

To improve the current situation of multiple preoperative visits and evaluations for elderly patients and other patients with complex conditions, in December 2022, Peking Union Medical College Hospital established preoperative multidisciplinary evaluation clinic (shorted as joint clinic). The joint clinic established a multidisciplinary team, clarified service targets, and developed standardized clinic workflows to provide patients with a " one-stop" preoperative assessment(physical fitness assessment, nutritional assessment, and frailty assessment, etc.), nutritional optimization intervention, and prerehabilitation education and guidance services. This practice strengthened preoperative risk management, improved preoperative assessment efficiency, and ensured the safety of patients during the perioperative period. As of September 2023, the joint clinic had received a total of 128 patients, of which 86 underwent surgery after preoperative evaluation and prehabilitation optimization. The obesity rate, smoking rate, and number of frailty cases of these patients had decreased from 13.96%, 11.63%, and 18 at the time of visit to 9.30%, 4.65%, and 14 on the day before surgery, respectively. They had recovered well after surgery. This practice had improved the preoperative status of patients and created conditions for high-risk patients to undergo surgery smoothly, so as to provide references for other hospitals to carry out multidisciplinary collaborative preoperative evaluation works.
