Aortic endovascular stent infection(AEI)is a rare and potentially fatal complication following endovas-cular aortic repair(EVER).Its occurrence involves multiple factors.Actively preventing the colonization and ad-hesion of pathogenic microorganisms on the stent can significantly reduce the incidence rate of AEI.The clini-cal manifestations of AEI are nonspecific.Patients who develop unexplained fever,fatigue,pain or elevated in-flammatory markers after EVER should be alerted to the possibility of AEI and require laboratory and imaging ex-aminations to be improved actively for further clarification.For patients diagnosed with AEI who can tolerate sur-gery,the preferred treatment is to thoroughly remove infected materials and tissues,and to reconstruct blood sup-ply and administer antibacterial therapy according to the patient's condition.For those who cannot tolerate surger-y,long-term or lifelong antibacterial drug therapy is required,which can be supplemented by percutaneous punc-ture drainage.Strict screening of EVER patients,active prevention of pathogen colonization,early diagnosis and multidisciplinary combination treatment can significantly reduce the incidence and fatality rate of AEI,there-by improving patient prognosis.

Background and purpose:Next generation sequencing-identified genetic alterations of diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL)and baseline SUVmax detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT were correlated with patients'prognosis.However,their relationship and the associations with R-CHOP response of DLBCL are still unclear.This study aimed to analyze the association bewteen genetic alterations and 18F-FDG PET/CT SUVmax and their correlations with clinicopathological characteristics and R-CHOP response of DLBCL.Methods:A total of 225 cases of primary DLBCL detected by next generation sequencing using 481 lymphoma gene panel and examined by 18F-FDG PET/CT before treatment between 2022 and 2023 were collected.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(Ethical No.:050432-4-2307E)and acquired the informed consent of the patients.The translocations of BCL2,BCL6 and MYC were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization.The clinicopathological characteristics and the PET/CT scan after R-CHOP chemotherapy were collected.Results:Finally,191 patients were enrolled in this study.The frequency of MYD88 mutation,TP53 mutation,copy number variations of CDKN2A/2B,CD79B mutation in the 191 DLBCL patients were 24.6%,27.2%,32.5%and 16.8%,respectively.The range of baseline SUVmax was 5.10-63.10(24.44±10.70,median 22.80).The baseline SUVmax of MYD88L265P DLBCL was significantly higher than that of MYD88 wild type(P=0.039).There were no significant associations of SUVmax with other gene alterations including TP53 mutation,CDKN2A/B loss,CD79B mutation,KMT2D mutation,TNFAIP3 mutation,B2M mutation,EZH2 mutation,BTG1/2 mutation,CREBBP mutation,gene translocations of MYC,BCL2 and BCL6.The higher SUVmax before treatment was correlated with higher serum lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)level(P=0.012)and non-germinal center B-cell-like(non-GCB)DLBCL(P=0.040).However,there was no significant association of SUVmax with R-CHOP response(P=0.714).TP53 mutation was significantly associated with the poor response of R-CHOP(P=0.001)and was an independent predictor of non-complete metabolic response(non-CMR).TP53 mutation combined with Ann Arbor stage,International Prognostic Index(IPI)score and serum LDH level could better predict R-CHOP response than each factor alone.Conclusion:MYD88L265P DLBCL had higher baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT SUVmax.The baseline SUVmax was not associated with R-CHOP response.However,TP53 mutation was significantly correlated with poor response of R-CHOP in DLBCL patients.TP53 mutation combined with clinicopathological characteristics could better predict R-CHOP response.The associations of gene alterations and SUVmax with prognosis of DLBCL patients needed to be explored in the future.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the application value of narrow-band CE-Chirp ASSR(NB CE-Chirp ASSR)and modulated acoustic ASSR in the assessment of hearing threshold in children with hearing impairment.METHODS Forty-eight children with sensorineural hearing loss were tested by pure tone audiometry(PTA),NB CE-Chirp ASSR and modulated acoustic ASSR.According to the results of pure tone audiometry,they were divided into mild to moderate group(48 ears)and severe to profound group(48 ears).The difference and correlation between pure tone hearing threshold and ASSR response threshold of different stimuli were compared between 500-4 000 Hz.RESULTS The absolute differences between the NB CE-Chirp ASSR response threshold and the PTA threshold in 48 children were all smaller than the differences between the modulated acoustic ASSR response threshold and the PTA threshold,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001).Under the same stimulus sound,the absolute difference between ASSR response threshold and pure tone hearing threshold in the mild to moderate group was higher than that in the severe to very severe group.The correlation coefficients between NB CE-Chirp ASSR threshold and pure tone hearing threshold are higher than those between modulated sound ASSR threshold and pure tone hearing threshold at 500-4 000 Hz.The test time of NB CE-Chirp ASSR[(20.92±9.33)min]was significantly shorter than that of modulated acoustic ASSR[(33.68±10.97)min](P=0.004).CONCLUSION NB CE-Chirp ASSR can more accurately assess the hearing threshold of children with different degrees of hearing loss than modulated acoustic ASSR.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of corticosteroids in male children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and provide evidence for the rational clinical use of medication.Methods:This was a multicenter medical record series study which conducted from January 15 th to March 14 th, 2025. A total of 53 male children with DMD admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation of Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and Affiliated Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from 2020 to 2024 were enrolled. Clinical data, corticosteroid usage, and the follow-up data were collected. The North star ambulatory assessment (NSAA) was used as the primary efficacy indicator. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) exchangeable working matrices were used for longitudinal analysis, and the least squares mean were used to compare the change trend of the efficacy evaluation index across different medication durations. Results:The age at the initiation of corticosteroid treatment was (6.3±1.9) years. The follow-up duration was 1.2 (0.9, 2.2) years. After treatment, the raw scores and linear scores of NSAA were both significantly higher than those before treatment ((22±7) vs. (19±5) points, (60±16) vs. (53±8) points; t=3.98, 3.69; both P<0.001). The 10 meter running time and time rising from floor were both shorter than those before treatment (6 (4, 8) vs. 7 (6, 9) s, 5 (3, 6) vs. 6 (5, 9) s; Z=2.62, 3.47; both P<0.01). GEE model analysis revealed all nonlinear correlation between motor function (NSAA linear score, 10-meter running velocity, and rising from floor velocity) and the duration of corticosteroid treatment (all P<0.05). Least squares mean comparison all showed that the medication effect first increased and then decreased with duration, reaching the peak at 1.1-2.0 years after treatment (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Corticosteroids can improve the motor function in male children with DMD, with the maximum treatment effect occurring 1 to 2 years after the initiation of treatment. It is necessary to comprehensively leverage time-varying efficacy of corticosteroids to optimize individualized treatment regimens for maximal motor function benefits in children with DMD.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of urea cycle disorder (UCD), the efficacy and safety of glyceryl phenylbutyrate (GPB) therapy in pediatric patients with UCD.Methods:This study was a retrospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical study. The clinical data of 20 pediatric patients with UCD who received GPB treatment at 9 hospitals nationwide between December 2021 and August 2024 were collected. The clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and molecular genetic characteristics were analyzed, ammonia levels and other laboratory results were evaluated pre-post GPB therapy by paired t-tests or Wilcoxon tests. Results:Among the 20 pediatric patients with UCD, there were 8 males and 12 females, and the onset age was 2.8 (1.4, 5.7) years. The ammonia levels were 174 (125, 342) μmol/L at first onset. The symptoms included vomiting in 6 cases, drowsiness in 5 cases, epilepsy in 5 cases, developmental delay in 5 cases, psychiatric and behavioral abnormalities in 3 cases, and lethargy in 1 case, and 18 cases exhibited abnormal liver function. Twenty cases included 6 UCD subtypes, with 11 cases being ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. A total of 27 variants were identified, 11 (41%) of which were novel. The age of patients who began GPB therapy was 4.0 (1.5, 6.6) years. Ten cases stopped GPB after 4.2 (3.4, 5.3) months, with 4 patients undergoing liver transplantation and 6 discontinuing for financial reasons. The remaining ten patients continued GPB therapy for 11.6 (8.6, 14.0) months. The duration of GPB treatment was 6.0 (4.2, 12.3) months, at the final visit, the levels of ammonia, platelets and aspartate aminotransferase were lower compared to those of pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The serum albumin level was higher than that of pre-treatment ( P=0.016). Two patients suffered only one episode of acute hyperammonaemia, with ammonia levels of 232 and 141 μmol/L, respectively. Nine cases experienced adverse effects potentially related to GPB, decreased appetite in 6 cases, vomiting in 3 cases, abnormal skin oil odor in 2 cases, somnolence, fatigue and diarrhea each in 1 case, with symptoms improved within 6 (3, 10) days. Conclusions:UCD primarily manifests with neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms, and early diagnosis of UCD could be achieved through the analysis of ammonia. GPB may effectively reduce ammonia levels in UCD pediatric patients, with favorable safety and tolerability.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and analyze the factors associated with prognosis.Methods:A case series study was conducted by retrospectively collecting clinical data from patients aged over 60 years with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ DLBCL across 20 medical centers in Jiangsu Province, China, between June 2010 and April 2023. The involved site, classification and treatment plan were summarized. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression model.Results:The study included 255 patients with a median age of 69 years, of whom 130 (51.0%) were male, 66 (25.9%) were aged ≥75 years and 26 (10.1%) had a high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score of ≥2. Extranodal involvement was observed in 163 (63.9%) patients, with the stomach (37.4%, 61/163), intestine (19.0%, 31/163), testes (11.0%, 18/163), and breast (7.4%, 12/163) being the most frequently affected sites. The non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype was prevalent in 63.7% of patients (142/223), with no significant difference between the nodal and extranodal groups ( P=0.681). Furthermore, 73.9% (184/249) and 11.7% (29/249) of patients received the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) and R-miniCHOP regimen, respectively. The overall 3-year PFS rate was 81.5%, and the 3-year OS rate was 85.6%. Patients aged ≥75 years ( HR=2.910, 95% CI 1.565-5.408, P=0.001) and/or with a CCI score ≥2 ( HR=2.324, 95% CI 1.141-4.732, P=0.020) had a significantly poorer PFS. Incorporating age ≥75 years and CCI score ≥2 into the stage-modified international prognostic index (sm-IPI) can better stratify the prognosis of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL. The 3-year PFS rate was 48.7% in the high-risk group versus 85.7% in the low-risk group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Our findings show that the elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL were predominantly characterized by extranodal involvement (particularly in the stomach and intestinal tract) and non-GCB subtype. Age ≥75 years and CCI ≥2 were identified as independent prognostic factors. The newly established sm-IPI-75-CCI incorporating these factors demonstrated superior prognostic discrimination compared to conventional risk assessment systems.
