OBJECTIVE To investigate the application and influencing factors of sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2 inhibitors（SGLT-2i） in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction（HFpEF） in the real world. METHODS Data from 358 patients with HFpEF who were hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2023 to May 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into the SGLT-2i group and the non-SGLT-2i group based on whether they were prescribed SGLT-2i upon discharge. Baseline characteristics， comorbidities， and differences in drug treatment were compared between the two groups. Based on univariate analysis， multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent influencing factors of SGLT-2i use in patients with HFpEF， followed by further stratified analysis. RESULTS Among 358 HFpEF patients， the overall utilization rate of SGLT-2i was 33.5%. Combined with type 2 diabetes [OR＝9.063，95%CI（4.924-16.679） ] ， atrial fibrillation [OR＝3.135，95%CI（1.590-6.178） ] ， coronary artery heart disease [OR＝1.888，95%CI（1.072-3.327） ] and the use of loop diuretics [OR＝3.822， 95%CI （1.588-9.200） ] were all independent influencing factors for the use of SGLT-2i in patients with HFpEF （ P ＜0.05）. The results of the stratified descriptive analysis were consistent with those of the multivariate analysis， showing a higher utilization rate of SGLT-2i among patients with concomitant T2DM，atrial fibrillation， coronary artery heart disease， and those receiving loop diuretics （ P ＜0.05）； whereas the utilization rate of SGLT-2i was comparable across patients with different levels of renal function （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In the real-world clinical practice， the utilization of SGLT-2i in patients with HFpEF remains suboptimal， and treatment coverage still needs to be improved. Their use of SGLT-2i is primarily influenced by the presence of type 2 diabetes， atrial fibrillation， coronary artery heart disease， and the use of loop diuretics.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of blinatumomab in adult patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R)or measurable residual disease(MRD)positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 30 B-ALL patients received at least 1 course of blinatumomab therapy in the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 1st,2021 to December 31st,2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including pre-treatment baseline clinical feature,post-treatment complete response(CR),CR with partial hematologic recovery(CRh),CR with incomplete hematologic recovery(CRi),complete MRD response rate,MRD response rate(MRD＜10-4),overall survival(OS),and disease-free survival(DFS),as well as drug-related adverse reactions.Results:Among 5 patients who were not assessed 4 were MRD negative and 1 did not receive bone marrow biopsy.In the R/R B-ALL group(13 cases),11 patients achieved CR/CRh/CRi and 10 patients achieved complete MRD response.In MRD+group(12 cases),9 patients achieved overall MRD response and 7 patients achieved complete MRD response.The median follow-up time was 8.4(95％CI:6.3-10.4)months.The median OS was 15.5(95％CI:0.7-30.3)months in the R/R group,while not reached in the MRD+group.The median DFS of the two groups were not reached.Drug-related adverse reactions occurred in 22 patients,and pyrexia was the most common(13 cases).Grade ≥3 adverse reactions occurred in 15 patients,and neutropenia was the most common(9 cases).Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 6 patients,including 5 cases with grade 1 and 1 case with grade 3.No patients interrupted therapy or died due to drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion:Blinatumomab is effective in the treatment of R/R or continuous MRD+B-ALL with acceptable adverse reactions.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, imaging features and diagnosis and treatment process of a female pelvic epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) with peritoneal metastasis, so as to improve the clinical understanding and diagnostic ability of the disease and avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.Methods:The clinical data of a female patient with pelvic EIMS combined with peritoneal metastasis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The triad examination of the patient involved an irregular solid mass in the pelvic cavity about 8.0 cm×9.0 cm in size. Laboratory examination revealed human epididymal protein 4(HE4)154.00 pmol/L. The ultrasonography showed multiple low-echo masses in deep pelvic cavity with unclear boundary and uneven internal echo, and color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) showed abundant internal blood flow signals. Enhanced CT showed uneven and obvious enhancement of the lesion. Pathological examination showed the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the mucous interstitial background. The tumor cells were round and epithelioid, with large nuclei, deep staining and obvious nucleolus. Immunohistochemistry showed anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive, and molecular pathology fluorescence in situ hybridization showed ALK gene amplification (positive). Combined with pathological, immunohistochemical and genetic tests, EIMS was diagnosed. Conclusions:EIMS should be considered when there are single or multiple solid or cystic nodules or masses in the pelvic cavity with obvious enhancement, invasive growth and peritoneal implantation metastasis, and the correct diagnosis can be made according to the pathological findings, immunohistochemistry and genetic test results.

Objective To establish a rat model of venous thrombosis in a plateau hypobaric hypoxic environment and to investigate the effect of this environment on venous thrombosis.Methods A total of 144 healthy male SD rats were assigned randomly to four groups(n=36 rats per group):a plains sham operation(A)group,plains operation(B)group,plateau altitude 6000 m+sham operation(C)group,and plateau altitude 6000 m+surgery(D)group.Rats in A and B groups were maintained in a plains normoxic environment,while rats in C and D groups C and D were subjected to a plateau environment.Rats in the surgical groups underwent quantitative constriction to incompletely obstruct the inferior vena cava blood flow.Each group was further divided into subgroups based on time:1,3,5,7,14,and 21 d(n=6 rats per group).Regular vascular ultrasound monitoring was conducted,and blood samples were taken for whole blood viscosity testing and the assessment of inflammatory indicators,including endothelin-1(ET-1),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tissue factor(TF).Coagulation function was evaluated through the activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),fibrinogen(FIB)and D-dimer.After the observation period,the experimental animals were sacrificed and the limbs were removed.Thrombus samples were stained with hematoxylin/eosin(HE),and the thrombus wet mass was measured.Results The thrombosis incidence was significantly higher in the plateau D group than in B group,accompanied by a marked increase in blood viscosity and hematocrit(P＜0.01).Additionally,levels of ET-1,IL-6,and TF were significantly elevated(P＜0.05),indicating a coagulation disorder.Conclusions A plateau hypoxic environment model can be successfully simulated by quantitative coarctation of the inferior vena cava,combined with a specialized environmental chamber.The findings of this study suggest that a plateau hypoxic environment promotes venous thrombosis.

Objective:To investigate the changes of cerebral blood flow before and after transfusion in neonates with anemia,and analyze the related influencing factors of neonatal middle cerebral artery blood flow.Methods:A total of 39 neonates with anemia who were hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from October 2021 to March 2023 and received blood transfusion treatment were selected.Basic data were collected.Transcranial Doppler ultrasound was used to collect peak systolic flow velocity(Vs),end-diastolic flow velocity(Vd)and vascular resistance index(RI)of left and right middle cerebral artery(MCA).To analyze the relationship between neonatal anemia and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity.To explore the effects of anemia and blood transfusion on middle cerebral artery blood flow,and analyze the related factors of middle cerebral artery blood flow.Results:A total of 39 neonates were included in this study,and the Vs on both the left and right sides of the middle cerebral artery after transfusion was lower than that before transfusion[Vs on the left side after transfusion was(44.7±16.7)cm/s compared with that before transfusion(45.9±19.2)cm/s,Vs on the right side after transfusion:(49.2±18.4)cm/s Vs(52.4±25.1)cm/s before transfusion];The mean blood pressure,Vd and RI after transfusion were all higher than those before transfusion[mean pressure(after transfusion/before transfusion):(41.7±6.3)mmHg ratio(40.9±6.9)mmHg],[Vd after transfusion on the left side:(11.7±6.6)cm/s compared with that before transfusion(10.9±5.0)cm/s,Vd after transfusion on the right side:(10.5±4.0)cm/s compared with(9.6±5.5)cm/s],[left post-transfusion RI:(0.75±0.08)compared with pre-transfusion RI:(0.74±0.09),right post-transfusion RI:(0.77±0.08)compared with(0.70±0.86)before transfusion],but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05);Through further correlation analysis,gestational age at birth,standard deviation of hemoglobin and normal value before and after transfusion,mean blood pressure,birth weight and blood flow of middle cerebral artery were respectively correlated,and it was found that gestational age was positively correlated with MCA Vd before transfusion,the standard deviation of hemoglobin before transfusion was negatively correlated with MCA on the left and right side,and the mean blood pressure was positively correlated with MCA blood flow.Birth weight was positively correlated with right side Vd of MCA after transfusion.Conclusion:Blood transfusion in anemic neonates can affect blood flow velocity in middle cerebral artery.The blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery was correlated with gestational age,anemia degree,mean blood pressure and birth weight.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Objective To investigate the biomechanical characteristics of the mandibular anterior teeth intrusion assisted by buccal mini-implants,so as to provide theoretical guidance for the clinical treatment of deep overbite and other conditions requiring intrusion of the mandibular anterior teeth.Methods A finite element model of implant screws,clear aligners(CAs)and mandibular complex including the mandibular dentition,periodontal ligament(PDL)and alveolar bone was constructed.The model was designed with 0.2 mm intrusion in the mandibular anterior teeth.Seven groups were set:without traction,30 g,50 g,100 g,150 g,200 g,and 250 g force groups.The stress and displacement of the teeth as well as the related stress distributions of PDL and CAs in each group after loading were analyzed.Results Without traction and under different traction forces,the mandibular anterior teeth tended to be tipped and intruded.With the increase of traction force,the increasing trend was manifested in the vertical displacement and labial displacement of the mandibular anterior teeth.When the traction force reached 200 g,the vertical displacement showed a significant increase,the subsequent increase then showed a tendency to flatten.The ratio of the labial tipping displacement to the intrusive displacement of the mandibular anterior teeth showed a decreasing trend with the increase of traction force.Within a reasonable force range,increasing traction force led to greater bodily intrusion of the anterior teeth.When the traction force was less than 150 g,the mandibular posterior teeth exhibited a tendency of extrusion.When the traction force of more than 150 g was applied,it showed a tendency of intrusion.The PDL stress was concentrated on the labial and cervical surface of the anterior teeth.Conclusions Intrusion efficiency of the mandibular anterior teeth has been effectively improved with CAs assisted by buccal mini-implants.Moreover,the traction force of the mini-implants has a significant impact on the movement of the mandibular anterior teeth.Based on a comprehensive analysis of factors such as the displacement trend of the mandibular dentition and the PDL stress,the optimal force value for buccal traction of the mini-implants to intrude the mandibular anterior teeth can be selected as 150-200 g force.
