Objective:To analyze the research trends and hotspots of bupivacaine liposomes from 1994 to 2023 using bibliometrics.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted for the literature related to bupivacaine liposomes in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1994 to 2023. The CiteSpace software was used to conduct an in-depth analysis of the included literature data, including publication year, country, institution, author, journal, cited references, keywords, etc.Results:A total of 875 papers related to bupivacaine liposomes were included. The research and development of bupivacaine liposomes were divided into 3 stages: slow development (1994-2011), a sharp rise (2011-2021), and stabilization (2021-2023). The United States was in a leading position in terms of the number of publications, centrality, and author cooperation, and Harvard University had the largest number of publications. de Paula E had the most publications, Bramlett K had the highest number of citations, and Boogaerts J had the highest centrality of publications. Journals such as Anesthesia and Analgesia made significant contributions to this field. The most cited references focused on the infiltration of wounds and the periprosthetic injection of bupivacaine liposomes. The keyword analysis showed that local anesthetics, postoperative pain, etc. were commonly used keywords, and enhanced recovery after surgery was an emerging hotspot. Conclusions:Bupivacaine liposomes show good application prospects in the field of peripheral nerve block due to their unique pharmacological properties and safety characteristics and are expected to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia. However, there is a difference between the actual effect and the expectation, and more clinical trials are needed to evaluate the curative effect, providing a more solid and reliable theoretical basis and practical guidance for clinical practice.

OBJECTIVES: To study the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Hebei Province. METHODS: Hospitalized children with CAP who tested positive for RSV and were admitted to Hebei Children's Hospital from various cities and counties across Hebei Province between January 2019 and December 2023 were included in the study. Clinical data were collected and analyzed to assess epidemiological characteristics. RESULTS: The clinical data of 43 978 children with CAP were collected, with an overall RSV detection rate of 25.98%. The detection rate was higher during the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) (30.60%) than in the non-NPIs period. Winter and spring were the primary epidemic seasons for RSV each year except in 2022. The detection rate in males (26.62%) was higher than in females (25.06%) (P<0.001). The highest detection rate (59.18%) was found in infants aged 29 days to <1 year. Single RSV infection was more common, with rhinovirus being the most frequent co-infection. CONCLUSIONS The overall RSV detection rate in Hebei Province is influenced by NPIs, being higher during their implementation. RSV predominantly circulates in winter and spring. The detection rate of RSV is higher in males and infants. RSV infection is primarily single, most often co-occurring with rhinovirus.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and the risk factors for severe pneumonia in hospitalized children. METHODS: The epidemiological characteristics of hMPV in hospitalized children at Hebei Children's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data of hospitalized children with hMPV infection from April to December 2023 were included, and independent risk factors for severe pneumonia were identified through logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 44 092 children were tested, with an hMPV positive rate of 7.30% (3 220/44 092). Children aged 3-6 years constituted the largest proportion (40.93%, 1 318/3 220) among hMPV-positive cases. The detection rate varied significantly by year (P<0.001), peaking in 2022 (12.35%, 978/7 919). The peak season of the epidemic was winter and spring from 2019 to 2021, but shifted to spring and summer from 2022 to 2023. The proportion of co-infection was 38.70% (1 246/3 220), primarily with rhinovirus (600/1 246, 48.15%), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (217/1 246, 17.42%), and respiratory syncytial virus (182/1 246, 14.61%). The main manifestations of hMPV pneumonia were cough, expectoration, and fever. Children with severe pneumonia were significantly younger (P<0.05). Wheezing, underlying diseases, co-infection, and younger age were identified as independent risk factors for severe pneumonia (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There are significant annual and seasonal differences in the epidemiological characteristics of hMPV in hospitalized children. Young age, underlying diseases, wheezing, and co-infection are independent risk factors for severe pneumonia.

Objective: To understand the current status of diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) /small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) among hematologists, oncologists, and lymphoma physicians from hospitals of different levels in China. Methods: This multicenter questionnaire survey was conducted from March 2021 to July 2021 and included 1,000 eligible physicians. A combination of face-to-face interviews and online questionnaire surveys was used. A standardized questionnaire regarding the composition of patients treated for CLL/SLL, disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation, concomitant diseases, organ function evaluation, treatment selection, and Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor was used. Results: ①The interviewed physicians stated that the proportion of male patients treated for CLL/SLL is higher than that of females, and the age is mainly concentrated in 61-70 years old. ②Most of the interviewed physicians conducted tests, such as bone marrow biopsies and immunohistochemistry, for patient diagnosis, in addition to the blood test. ③Only 13.7% of the interviewed physicians fully grasped the initial treatment indications recommended by the existing guidelines. ④In terms of cognition of high-risk prognostic factors, physicians' knowledge of unmutated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable and 11q- is far inferior to that of TP53 mutation and complex karyotype, which are two high-risk prognostic factors, and only 17.1% of the interviewed physicians fully mastered CLL International Prognostic Index scoring system. ⑤Among the first-line treatment strategy, BTK inhibitors are used for different types of patients, and physicians have formed a certain understanding that BTK inhibitors should be preferentially used in patients with high-risk factors and elderly patients, but the actual use of BTK inhibitors in different types of patients is not high (31.6%-46.0%). ⑥BTK inhibitors at a reduced dose in actual clinical treatment were used by 69.0% of the physicians, and 66.8% of the physicians had interrupted the BTK inhibitor for >12 days in actual clinical treatment. The use of BTK inhibitors is reduced or interrupted mainly because of adverse reactions, such as atrial fibrillation, severe bone marrow suppression, hemorrhage, and pulmonary infection, as well as patients' payment capacity and effective disease progression control. ⑦Some differences were found in the perceptions and behaviors of hematologists and oncologists regarding the prognostic assessment of CLL/SLL, the choice of treatment options, the clinical use of BTK inhibitors, etc. Conclusion: At present, a gap remains between the diagnosis and treatment of CLL/SLL among Chinese physicians compared with the recommendations in the guidelines regarding the diagnostic criteria, treatment indications, prognosis assessment, accompanying disease assessment, treatment strategy selection, and rational BTK inhibitor use, especially the proportion of dose reduction or BTK inhibitor discontinuation due to high adverse events.

Background::Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein that mainly regulates erythropoiesis. In patients with chronic renal failure with anemia, darbepoetin alfa can stimulate erythropoiesis, correct anemia, and maintain hemoglobin levels. This study was designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of darbepoetin alfa injections as being not inferior to epoetin alfa injections (Recombinant Human Erythropoietin injection, rHuEPO) when maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) levels within the target range (10.0-12.0 g/dL) for the treatment of renal anemia.Methods::Ninety-five patients were enrolled in this study from April 15, 2013 to April 10, 2014 at 25 sites. In this study, patients ( n = 95) aged 18-70 years were randomized into a once per week intravenous darbepoetin alfa group ( n = 56) and a twice or three times per week intravenous epoetin alfa group ( n = 39) for 28 weeks, who had anemia with hemoglobin levels between 6 g/dL and 10 g/dL due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and were undergoing hemodialysis or hemofiltration with ESA-naive (erythropoiesis stimulating agent-naive). The primary efficacy profile was the mean Hb level (the non-inferiority margin was -1.0 g/dL, week 21-28); the secondary efficacy profiles were the Hb increase rate (week 0-4), the target Hb achievement cumulative rate and time, the change trends of the Hb levels, and the target Hb maintenance ratio. Adverse events (AEs) were observed and compared, and the efficacy and safety were analyzed between the two treatment groups. Additionally, the frequencies of dose adjustments between the darbepoetin alfa and epoetin alfa groups were compared during the treatment period. SAS? software version 9.2 was used to perform all statistical analyses. Descriptive statistics were used for all efficacy, safety, and demographic variable analyses, including for the primary efficacy indicators. Results::The mean Hb level was 11.3 g/dL in the darbepoetin alfa group and 10.7 g/dL in the epoetin alfa group, respectively; the difference of the lower limits of the 95% confidence intervals (CI) between the two groups was 0.1 g/dL (>-1.0 g/dL), and non-inferiority was proven; the Hb levels started to increase in the first four weeks at a similar increase rate; no obvious differences were observed between the groups in the target Hb achievement cumulative rates, and the Hb levels as well as the target Hb level maintenance rate changed over time. The incidence of AEs was 62.5% in the darbepoetin alfa group and 76.9% in the epoetin alfa group. All the adverse events observed in the study were those commonly associated with hemodialysis.Conclusion::Darbepoetin alfa intravenously once per week can effectively increase Hb levels and maintain the target Hb levels well, which makes it not inferior to epoetin alfa intravenously twice or three times per week. Darbepoetin alfa shows an efficacy and safety comparable to epoetin alfa for the treatment of renal anemia.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Guilu Erxian Jiao (GEJ) on the negative feedback function of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and its possible mechanism in rats with post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).Methods:The PTSD rat model was established using single prolonged stress (SPS). Ninety six SD rats were randomly divided into control group (control), model group (SPS), GEJ group (GEJ) and paroxetine group (PRX) according to the random number table with 24 rats in each group. Except the control group, the rats in the other groups were constructed using the PTSD model. On the 8th day after the establishment of the model, the rats of the GEJ group (3.6 g/kg) and the PRX group (10 mg/kg) were respectively given the drug by gavage for 21 days. The rats in control group and SPS group were given the same amount of distilled water once a day for 21 days. After continuous administration for 21 days, 12 rats were randomly selected from each group for the dexamethasone suppression test (DST), then 6 rats were selected for the RT-PCR, and the remaining 6 rats were used for immunohistochemistry. The contents of plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) were measured by Elisa. The expression levels of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), adrenocorticotropic hormone releasing factor Ⅰ receptor (CRF1R) and adrenocorticotropic hormone releasing factor Ⅱ receptor (CRF2R) were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.Results:(1) In DST, plasma ACTH level in SPS group was significantly lower than that in control group((145.89±19.41)μg/L, (203.59±35.78)μg/L, t=3.16, P<0.01), and that in the PRX group and GEJ group were significantly higher than that in SPS group((218.47±37.55)μg/L, t=3.98, P<0.01; (205.33±66.54)μg/L, t=3.26, P<0.01). (2) RT-PCR results showed that, in hippocampus, the GR mRNA and MR mRNA expressions in SPS group were significantly higher than those in control group((1.29±0.02), (1.00±0.06), t=6.88, P<0.01; (1.38±0.02), (1.00±0.05), t=7.97, P<0.01), and that in the GEJ group significantly decreased comparing to SPS group((0.96±0.07), t=7.87, P<0.01; (0.86±0.13), t=11.03, P<0.01). (3) Immunohistochemical results showed that, in hippocampus, the positive cell expressions of GR and MR in the SPS group were significantly higher than those in control group((84.33±12.82), (69.33±8.19), t=2.50, P<0.05; (77.33±6.65), (56.33±11.79), t=2.25, P<0.05), and that in the GEJ group significantly were lower than SPS group((68.33±4.55), t=2.67, P<0.05; (59.50±4.18), t=2.25, P<0.05). In amygdala, the positive cells expression of GR, MR and CRF1R in the SPS group significantly decreased compared with the control group((62.67±6.89), (77.17±10.70), t=3.10, P<0.05; (60.50±11.66), (91.83±15.63), t=3.43, P<0.05; (54.50±19.96), (88.17±22.43), t=2.31, P<0.05); and that in GEJ group significantly increased compared with the SPS group((74.33±5.85), t=2.11, P<0.05; (83.67±12.55), t=2.53, P<0.05; (88.67±16.28), t=2.35, P<0.05). Conclusion:GEJ can inhibit the enhanced HPA axis negative feedback function induced by SPS, which may be related to regulating expression of GR, MR and CRF1R in the hippocampus and amygdala.

Objective To prospectively investigate laryngoscopy-assisted CO2 laser in the treatment of glottic laryngeal carcinoma.Methods 97 patients with early glottic laryngeal carcinoma in our hospital were selected and divided into control group (n =48) and observation group (n =49) according to random number table.The control group was treated with partial laryngectomy and the observation group was treated with laryngoscopy-assisted CO2 laser.The clinical efficacy,serum level of α1-acid glycoprotein (α1-AG) and ceruloplasmin (CER) after 10 min of the surgery and changes of the indicators of voice function [fundamental frequency jitter (jitter),the longest sound time (MPT),sound pressure level (SPL)] were observed and compared between the two groups,and the incidence of complications and quality of life (QOL) scores were statistically compared.Results The total remission rate in the observation group was 79.59％ (39/49),which was higher than that in the control group 56.25％ (27/48),with statistically significant difference (x2 =6.075,P =0.014).The levels of serum α1-AG and CER in the observation group 10 min after surgery were lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant difference (t =2.641,P =0.010,t =31.242,P =0.000).From 2 weeks after surgery to 3 months after surgery,SPL and MPT of two groups decreased first and then increased;Jitter increased first and then decreased,and the changing amplitude in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group,with statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was 2.04％ (1/49),which was lower than that in the control group 16.67％ (8/48),with statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05);3 months after surgery,the QOL score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,with statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Supporting laryngoscope CO2 laser surgery can improve stress state and quality of life of early glottic laryngeal cancer patients,and the incidence of complications is low.It has little effect on voice function.
