Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and therapeutic effect of perioral myoclonia with absences (PMA), in order to improve the clinicians′ understanding of the disease.Methods:The clinical manifestations during seizures, as well as interictal and ictal electroencephalogram (EEG) features of 3 PMA patients admitted to the Epilepsy Unit, Neurology Center, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from May to October 2024 were analyzed. The clinical manifestations, EEG characteristics, differential diagnosis, treatment experience of PMA patients were summarized by retrospective analysis combined with previous literature review.Results:The onset age of these 3 PMA cases was 15, 15, and 7 years, respectively. The prominent manifestation of seizure was perioral myoclonus without disturbance of consciousness. The duration of seizures was brief, less than 10 seconds. PMA can occur several times a day and was prone to present as continuous state of perioral myoclonus. Three patients had rare generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS). The seizures could be controlled by sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, or combined treatment. Fifteen literatures about PMA were retrieved (4 in Chinese and 11 in English). A total of 31 patients (including these 3 patients) were included in the study, of whom 17 were males and 14 were females. The onset age was from 9 months to 34 [7.63 (2.19, 11.00)] years. Perioral myoclonus with varying degrees of disturbance of consciousness was the main seizure type, and 12 patients exhibited continuous state of perioral myoclonus, 24 patients had GTCS. Eight patients had a history of fever convulsion, 6 patients had mental or learning disabilities, and 11 patients had a family history of epilepsy or febrile convulsion. The ictal EEG showed around 3 Hz generalized spike-wave/multiple spike-wave discharges accompanied with synchronous myoelectric bursts. There were no specific abnormalities in physical examination of nervous system and cranial imaging in all the patients. Ten patients were initially diagnosed as focal epilepsy. Nine patients′ seizures were increased or worsened due to improper medication. Valproate, lamotrigine and levetiracetam were the main treatments of PMA, and the seizures of 21 patients were effectively controlled.Conclusions:PMA is clinically characterized by perioral myoclonia with varying degrees of disturbance of consciousness and is easy to be misdiagnosed as focal epilepsy, so it is necessary to use video EEG combined with synchronous electromyography to confirm the diagnosis. PMA should be treated with broad-spectrum antiseizure drugs.

The scaphoid bone is one of the important bone of hand,which is frequently injured and difficult to treat in clinical practice.Therefore,it is very important to deeply study the microstructure and biomechanical characteristics of the scaphoid bone for understanding its injury mechanism and optimizing treatment scheme.Microcomputed tomography(micro-CT)provides high-resolution imaging of bone tissue,while finite element analysis can help to simulate the stress distribution and behavioral patterns of the scaphoid bone under various physiological and pathological states.The high-resolution three-dimensional image of the scaphoid bone obtained by micro-CT technology can be used to construct finite element models of real anatomical structure of the scaphoid bone,thus achieving accurate simulation of the mechanical properties of the scaphoid bone.The fusion of these two advanced technologies provides a new perspective for revealing the structural and functional relationships and injury mechanism of the scaphoid bone.Therefore,this paper reviews the anatomical characteristics of the scaphoid bone and its biomechanical behavior in different states,emphasizing the specific applications and advantages of micro-CT and finite element analysis techniques in the study of the scaphoid bone.By summarizing the research findings in recent years,this paper provides novel scientific basis and methods for the diagnosis,treatment,and prevention of scaphoid bone-related disorders.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) are a class of novel small-molecule targeted antitumor drugs used to treat B-cell malignancies. However, safety issues associated with BTKi may lead to treatment interruption, compromising their efficacy. To promote the standardized management of safety in BTKi treatment, Evidence-Based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, Division of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Chinese Pharmacological Society, Expert Committee on Lymphoma of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, Expert Committee on Leukemia of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, Integrated Cancer Cardiology Branch of China Anti-Cancer Association, Hematology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-Straits Medicine Exchange Association formulated the Evidence-based Expert Consensus on the Clinical Management of Safety of Bruton′s Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (2024), which was published in the Chinese Journal of Cancer Research in June 2024. It covered 9 clinical issues in the following 3 domains: (1) the management of common adverse reactions of BTKi such as bleeding, cardiovascular events, hematological toxicity, infections, rashes, diarrhea, and arthralgia; (2) the management of drug-drug interactions; (3) management guidance for special populations. This consensus provides evidence-based recommendations for the safety management of BTKi medication in clinical practice. This article provides an interpretation and evidence summary of the consensus in Chinese, aiming to facilitate its implementation in China, enhance the safety management of BTKi treatment, and improve patient outcomes.

Objective This study aimed to comprehensively analyze and compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis of Chinese patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-low early breast cancer(BC)and HER2-IHC0 BC. Methods Patients diagnosed with HER2-negative BC(N=999)at our institution between January 2011 and December 2015 formed our study population.Clinicopathological characteristics,association between estrogen receptor(ER)expression and HER2-low,and evolution of HER2 immunohistochemical(IHC)score were assessed.Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare the long-term survival outcomes(5-year follow-up)between the HER2-IHC0 and HER2-low groups. Results HER2-low BC group tended to demonstrate high expression of ER and more progesterone receptor(PgR)positivity than HER2-IHC0 BC group(P<0.001).The rate of HER2-low status increased with increasing ER expression levels(Mantel-Haenszel χ2 test,P<0.001,Pearson's R=0.159,P<0.001).Survival analysis revealed a significantly longer overall survival(OS)in HER2-low BC group than in HER2-IHC0 group(P=0.007)in the whole cohort and the hormone receptor(HR)-negative group.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of disease-free survival(DFS).The discordance rate of HER2 IHC scores between primary and metastatic sites was 36.84%. Conclusion HER2-low BC may not be regarded as a unique BC group in this population-based study due to similar clinicopathological features and prognostic roles.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in healthcare facilities in major regions of China in 2023.Methods Clinical isolates collected from 73 hospitals across China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2023 Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints.Results A total of 445199 clinical isolates were collected in 2023,of which 29.0％ were gram-positive and 71.0％ were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species (excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi) (MRSA,MRSE and MRCNS) was 29.6％,81.9％ and 78.5％,respectively.Methicillin-resistant strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents than methicillin-susceptible strains (MSSA,MSSE and MSCNS).Overall,92.9％ of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 91.4％ of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis had significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 93.1％ in the isolates from children and and 95.9％ in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 15.0％ for most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,22.5％ and 23.6％ of which were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively .Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.6％ to 10.0％.The resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem was 21.9％ and 17.4％ for Pseudomonas aeruginosa,respectively,and 67.5％ and 68.1％ for Acinetobacter baumannii,respectively.Conclusions Increasing resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still observed in clinical bacterial isolates.However,the prevalence of important crabapenem-resistant organisms such as crabapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a slightly decreasing trend.This finding suggests that strengthening bacterial resistance surveillance and multidisciplinary linkage are important for preventing the occurrence and development of bacterial resistance.
