Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of continuous venetoclax combined azacitidine (VA) chemotherapy and intermedium/high-dose cytarabine (I/HDAC) consolidation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) fit for standard chemotherapy (transform from UNFIT) .Methods:Clinical data of patients who were fit for standard chemotherapy were collected among those with AML who underwent VA induction in the Department of Hematology, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), event-free survival (EFS), and incidence of adverse events were analyzed retrospectively.Results:This study enrolled 69 patients, consisting of 46 cases in the VA group and 23 cases in the I/HDAC group. We revealed the following. ① The median OS, RFS, EFS were 26.18, 24.69, 20.34 months in the VA group, and 34.14, 30.99, 28.42 months in the I/HDAC group, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05). Median OS of patients who underwent I/HDAC consolidation with European Leukemia Net (ELN) favorable-risk, positive measurable residual disease (MRD), wild type FLT3, or IDH1/2 mutation was significantly longer than those who received VA ( P<0.05). ②Adverse events rate of grade 3 - 4 neutropenia, grade 3 - 4 thrombocytopenia, and bacteremia were significantly lower in the VA group than in the I/HDAC group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:I/HDAC consolidation was more likely to help get survival benefits for patients with ELN favorable-risk, positive MRD, wild type FLT3, or IDH1/2 mutation. Continuous VA chemotherapy exhibited superior safety than I/HDAC consolidation.

Objective:To evaluate the value of deep-inhaled breath-hold (DIBH)-30s scanning with total-body PET/CT under half-dose injection mode in improving the poor alignment of thoracic and upper abdominal tumors.Methods:Forty-six patients (28 males, 18 females, age (57.3±11.4) years) who underwent half-dose 18F-FDG total-body DIBH-30s PET/CT examination because of suspect or confirmed thoracic and upper abdominal tumors in Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center between October 2022 and February 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. SUV, standard deviation (SD) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the liver and mediastinal blood pool in free breath (FB)-8min, FB-30s and DIBH-30s PET images were measured; SUV of lesions, metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) in DIBH-30s and FB-8min images were also measured; maximum diameter of contraposition offset and offset rate in coronal, transverse and sagittal directions of lesions in DIBH-30s and FB-8min images were calculated. Five-point Likert scale was used to score the overall image quality, image noise level and diagnostic confidence of fused images. Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Nemenyi test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the parameters of different groups. Results:Among the 46 patients, 38 successfully completed breath-holding collection, and 80 lesions were detected, including 37 in the lungs and 43 in the livers. The liver SUV max (3.40(3.15, 3.63), 3.44(3.06, 3.70)) and SD (0.36(0.32, 0.41), 0.35(0.30, 0.40)) in DIBH-30s group and FB-30s group were higher than those (SUV max: 2.73(2.45, 2.92), SD: 0.15(0.13, 0.17)) in FB-8min group ( H values: 49.79, 85.27, χ2 values: 3.26-3.65, all P<0.001). The SUV max and the SD of mediastinal blood pool in DIBH-30s group and FB-30s group were also higher ( H values: 9.31, 59.73, χ2 values: 2.13-2.75, all P<0.01), while SNR liver and SNR med in those 2 groups were lower ( H values: 87.90, 54.11, χ2 values: 3.36-5.47, all P<0.001). The image noise scores of DIBH-30s group and FB-30s group were lower than the score of FB-8min group (3(3, 3) vs 3(3, 4) vs 5(5, 5); H=93.02, χ2 values: 2.13, 2.23, all P<0.001). The overall image quality score and diagnostic confidence score of DIBH-30s group were higher than those of FB-30s group and FB-8min group ( H values: 70.13, 24.22, χ2 values: 2.11-2.48, all P<0.001). The SUV and TBR of lesions in DIBH-30s group were higher than those of FB-8min group ( Z values: from -3.82 to -2.44, all P<0.05), while the MTV, contraposition offset and offset rate were lower than those of FB-8min group ( Z values: from -6.20 to -3.18, all P<0.001). Conclusions:DIBH-30s scanning with total-body PET/CT can make the focus alignment more accurate, which is suitable for short-time collection or low drug administration activity. It has a unique value in improving the poor focus alignment of chest and upper abdomen tumors.

From the perspectives of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） information knowledge base and assisted decision-making knowledge base， the construction status， quality evaluation status and existing problems of current TCM knowledge bases have been sorted out. And based on the quality evaluation strategies and dimensions of know-ledge bases in other disciplines， the evaluation indexes for TCM knowledge base is discussed， and the evaluation framework is initially formed， providing ideas for the improvement of the TCM knowledge base evaluation system. In terms of the evaluation indexes， there are basic evaluation dimensions which include data sources， data collection， and data application. The specific evaluation dimension of the information-based knowledge base is data quality， while that of the assisted decision-making knowledge base is data matching. Except for the data application dimension which counts the valid data items in the database for calculation， other indexes are scored based on the qualitative evaluation of "yes"， "no" or "unknown". The basic evaluation score and the specific evaluation score are added to obtain the total score. The knowledge base is graded according to the score， and the results are presented in the form of grade plus number.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of HIV-1 genotypes and drug resistance in newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients in Baoding in 2020.Methods:A self-developed method was used to amplify the pol gene sequence of HIV-1, and the sequencing results were analyzed by phylogenetic analysis and compared with the Stanford drug resistance database to determine the HIV-1 subtypes and gene mutations. Results:A total of 96 patients with HIV-1 infection were recruited in this study, and 83 pol gene sequences were successfully obtained. In the study population, 88 (91.7%) were male with an average age of 39 years and 54 (56.3%) were married. Most of the patients were infected through sexual contact (95.8%, 92/96), and 75.0% (72/96) were through homosexual transmission. Phylogenetic analysis showed that various HIV-1 subtypes were detected and among them, CRF01_AE (51.8%, 43/83), CRF07_BC (24.1%, 20/83) and B subtype (10.8%, 9/83) were the most epidemic strains. Moreover, the subtypes of newly identified recombinant strains in recent years accounted for 13.3% (11/83). Drug resistance test results showed that the pre-treatment drug resistance rate in newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients was 8.4% (7/83), and the drug resistance rates to protease inhibitor (PIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and integrase inhibitors (INIs) were 3.6% (3/83), 1.2% (1/83) and 3.6% (3/83), respectively. Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes in the newly diagnosed population in Baoding in 2020 were complex and diverse. There were many unique recombinant strains and drug-resistant strains. Therefore, it was necessary to strengthen drug resistance monitoring as well as the prevention and control of HIV-1 infection in this area.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of surface sensation training on walking function of patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). MethodsFrom January to November, 2021, 56 ACLR inpatients in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 28) and experimental group (n = 28). The control group received routine rehabilitation training of 45 minutes a time, while the experimental group received routine rehabilitation training of 30 minutes and surface sensation training of 15 minutes a time, for eight weeks. Their toe-out angle and affected side impulse percentage of plantar seven zones were measured before and after intervention. ResultsThe toe-out angle of both the healthy and the affected sides decreased in both groups after intervention (t > 4.615, P < 0.001), and it was less in the affected side in the experimental group (t = 2.263, P < 0.05). The impulse percentage in heel medial and heel lateral areas increased in both groups after intervention (t > 4.221, P < 0.001), and it was more in the experimental group (t > 3.651, P < 0.01); while the impulse percentage in middle foot, foot intermediate and foot lateral areas decreased in both groups (t > 3.174, P < 0.01), and it was less in foot intermediate and foot lateral areas in the experimental group (t > 2.366, P < 0.05); the impulse percentage decreased in foot medial and toe areas in the experimental group (t > 3.508, P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between two groups (t < 1.608, P > 0.05). ConclusionSurface sensation training can further improve the foot deflection and distribution of impulse of affected side in patients after ACLR during walking, to normalize the load patterns.

Objective To understand the current situation and existing problems in the training of healthcare-asso-ciated infection(HAI)management,and provide scientific basis for strengthening the management of HAI preven-tion and control system.Methods A questionnaire survey was adopted to investigate situation of training on HAI in 15 provincial-level HAI training agencies in China during the past 30 years,and basic condition of training on HAI management in recent 5 years.Results Among 15 provincial-level training agencies,66.67%(n=10)were respon-sible by HAI management quality control centers,80.00% have already conducted training in each city,53.33%carried out training for 10 to 20 times,33.34% performed training for ≤2 times per year.Of 33 728 trainees in 2011-2015,41.30% were 41-50 years old,61.82% were nursing staff,50.56% had bachelor degree,43.96%were with the intermediate professional title.Most trainers were HAI prevention and control experts in their respec-tive province,accounting for 68.07%,the curriculums were mainly designed on professional course,and only 26.78% were involved in management.Conclusion Professional structure of HAI management personnel is not reasonable,faculty is imbalance,knowledge update is lacking,and HAI training and education system need to be improved further.

BACKGROUND:Repair programs of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture included posterior plate screws, lateral plate screw and anterior and posterior lag screw fixation. To choose which fixation methods depends on clinical experiences of physicians. Study results are mainly clinical reports, and lack of mechanical evidence.
OBJECTIVE:To compare biomechanical changes in three fixed manners (lateral plate screw group, posterior plate screw group and anterior and posterior lag screw group) in the repair of posterolateral fracture of tibial plateau from the angle of biomechanics.
METHODS:A total of tibial specimens of six adult male antisepsis corpses (12 samples) were used for measuring bone mineral density of metaphysis. 1/2 posterolateral tibial plateau fracture model was established by electric pendulum saw. The model was randomly divided into three groups:lateral plate screw group, posterior plate screw group and anterior and posterior lag screw group. Finite element method and biomechanics were used to test axial displacement value and the maximal displacement distribution area under the axial loads of 250, 500, and 1 000 N.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in average bone density in three groups of metaphysis (P>0.05). The minimum axial displacement of the fracture fragments was in the anterior and posterior lag screw group (0.013 521 mm), fol owed by posterior plate screw group (0.016 991 mm), and the maximum was visible in the lateral plate screw group (0.138 200 mm) under 250 N load. Displacement value was similar to the 250 N under 500 and 1 000 N. According to the results of biomechanics, displacement values of anterior and posterior lag screw was obviously less than the lateral plate screw group and posterior plate screw group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the lateral plate screw group and posterior plate screw group (P>0.05). The maximal displacement distribution area was proximal tibiofibular joint border zone in two methods. These data indicated that the biomechanical stability was most advantageous in the anterior and posterior lag screw group, and poorest in the lateral plate screw group. In the clinic, anterior and posterior lag screw fixation can be used as a first choice for repair of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture.

Objective To explore the MRI features of patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD) for providing early evidence in differential diagnosis. Methods The MRI features of 24 patients with MSA, 30 patients with PD and 30 healthy people as controls were retrospectively analyzed. Abnormal intensity in MRI included the hot-cross bun sign and the slitlike changes. The atrophies of brain included cerebellar, middle cerebellar peduncles, medulla oblongata and pon. Cerebral ventricle dilatation included fourth ventricle and cisterna pontis. The midbrain area, pons area and middle cerebellar peduncles width were measured. Results All patients with MSA had at least one of the features observed on MR images, and there were some differences in the subtypes of MSA. The high sensitive features were the atrophies of middle cerebellar peduncles (79.2%), the atrophies of pons (79.2%) and the hot-cross bun sign (75.0%). The parameters with high specificity and high positive predictive value were hot-cross bun sign (both 100%), the slit-like sign (both 100%), the atrophies of middle cerebellar peduncles (93.3% and 90.1%), and the atrophies of pons (96.7% and 95.0%). MSA group had the statistically significantly decreased values of pons area, midbrain area and middle cerebellar peduncles width [(288. 7±75. 4) mm2, (127.8±25.8) mm2 and (10. 7±2.8) mm, respectively], as compared with PD group [(477. 5 ± 54. 3) mm2, (145.9±21.6) mm2 and (16.2±1.3) mm, respectively] and healthy group [(454. 5±36. 8) mm2 , (146.4±17.4) mm2 and (16.7±1.2) mm, respectively] (all P ＜0. 05). Conclusions The routine MRI is helpful in differential diagnosis between MSA and PD and has some values in diagnosing the subtypes of MSA.
