Severe intra-abdominal infections are life-threatening conditions and a significant challenge for surgeons. This article presents a case of an elderly patient with a severe intra-abdominal infection complicated by an anastomotic leak. This patient had experienced prolonged sepsis and multiple surgical traumas. Upon admission to our department, exploratory surgery revealed extensive bowel edema and adhesions, an anastomotic leak, and abdominal contamination with infection. In accordance with the principles of damage control surgery, the anastomotic leak was exteriorized, the abdomen was left open, and continuous intra-abdominal lavage with dual-lumen catheters was implemented to effectively control the infection. Negative pressure wound therapy was used to manage the open abdomen, and a negative pressure-assisted drainage device was used to manage the enteroatmospheric fistula. After granulation of the abdominal wound, split-thickness skin grafting was performed. The enteroatmospheric fistula was converted into an enterocutaneous fistula. A 3D-printed stoma baseplate was used to manage the digestive fistula. Concurrently, enhanced parenteral and enteral nutritional support was provided. Six months later, the patient successfully underwent definitive fistula resection and abdominal wall defect repair.

To provide in-service medical technicians and nurses with convenient access to continuing education resources in transfusion medicine, reduce transfusion-related adverse events, and ensure the safety, rationalization, and effectiveness of clinical transfusion, we designed and developed an online transfusion continuing education platform. The platform was based on the new managed code programming model.NET Core and the powerful functions of hypertext preprocessor PHP 7.4, addressing current issues in transfusion online continuing education. Through in-depth analysis of student attributes, learning behaviors, and teaching behaviors, a comprehensive online continuous teaching quality evaluation index system was established. This system not only facilitates the quantitative assessment of teaching quality but also successfully integrates the two core functions of teaching and management, thereby achieving unified online teaching.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of nanomicroneedle- versus ultrasound-mediated delivery of tranexamic acid for the treatment of melasma.Methods:A prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted. Patients with melasma were collected from the Department of Dermatology, Guangzhou Dermatology Hospital from March 2023 to May 2024, and divided into a nanomicroneedle group (receiving nanomicroneedle-mediated delivery of tranexamic acid) and an ultrasound group (receiving ultrasound-mediated delivery of tranexamic acid) using the random number table method. Both groups underwent the treatment once a week for a total of 8 sessions. At week 12, outcomes including melasma area and severity index (MASI) scores, treatment response rates, VISIA brown spot scores, pain scores, and adverse reactions were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Statistical analyses were carried out using two-independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test. Results:A total of 80 patients with melasma were included, with 40 in each group. In the nanomicroneedle group, the patients were aged 40.35 ± 7.39 years (range: 25 - 55 years), with the disease duration being 8.45 ± 4.77 months (range: 1 - 16 months) ; in the ultrasound group, the patients were aged 40.25 ± 7.76 years (range: 25 - 55 years), and their disease duration was 10.45 ± 5.07 months (range: 2 - 17 months) ; there were no significant differences in ages or disease duration between the two groups (both P > 0.05). At week 12, both groups demonstrated reduced MASI scores compared to baseline scores, and the MASI scores were significantly lower in the nanomicroneedle group ( M[ Q1, Q3]: 5.80[4.20, 9.35]) than in the ultrasound group (8.65[5.70, 10.80], Z = 2.50, P = 0.012). The overall response rate was significantly higher in the nanomicroneedle group (97.5%, 39/40) than in the ultrasound group (55.0%, 22/40; χ2 = 19.95, P < 0.001). The lateral facial VISIA brown spot scores were also significantly lower in the nanomicroneedle group (left side: 126.18 ± 36.54 points; right side: 138.50 ± 40.76 points) than in the ultrasound group (left side: 142.37 ± 32.40 points; right side: 157.13 ± 39.59 points; t = -2.10, -2.07, P = 0.039, 0.041, respectively). In the nanomicroneedle group, the pain scores were 4.12 ± 1.47 points, and varying severity of adverse reactions such as erythema, edema and dryness occurred after operation, all of which resolved spontaneously within 48 hours. No marked adverse reactions were observed in the ultrasound group. Conclusion:Nanomicroneedle-mediated delivery of tranexamic acid demonstrated superior clinical efficacy and favorable safety profiles compared to the ultrasound-mediated delivery, providing more options for the treatment of melasma.

Background::An evidence gap still exists regarding the efficacy and safety of tegoprazan in patients with erosive esophagitis (EE) in China. This study aimed to verify the efficacy and safety of tegoprazan vs. esomeprazole in patients with EE in China. Methods::This study was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, active-controlled, non-inferiority phase III trial of patients with EE randomized 1:1 to tegoprazan 50 mg/day vs. esomeprazole 40 mg/day. This study was conducted in 32 sites between October 24, 2018 and October 18, 2019. The primary endpoint was the cumulative endoscopic healing rate at week 8. The secondary endpoint included endoscopic healing rate at week 4, changes in the reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ) and gastroesophageal reflux disease health-related quality of life (GERD-HRQL) scores, and symptom improvement. Results::A total of 261 patients were randomized: 132 to the tegoprazan group and 129 to the esomeprazole group. The cumulative endoscopic healing rate at 8 weeks in the tegoprazan group was non-inferior to that of the esomeprazole group (91.1% vs. 92.8%, difference: -1.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -8.5%, 5.0%, P = 0.008). There were no statistically significant differences in the changes in RDQ (total, severity, and frequency) and GERD-HRQL scores between the two groups (all P >0.05). The percentages of days without symptoms, including daytime and nighttime symptoms based on patients' diaries, were similar between the two groups (all P >0.05). In the tegoprazan and esomeprazole groups, 71.5% (93/130) and 61.7% (79/128) of the participants reported adverse events (AEs), 2.3% and 0 experienced serious AEs, while 70.0% and 60.2% had treatment-emergent AEs, respectively. Conclusion::Tegoprazan 50 mg/day demonstrated non-inferior efficacy in healing EE, symptom improvement, and quality of life, and it has similar tolerability compared with esomeprazole 40 mg/day.

Objective:To investigate whether there is an association between the total dose of breast cancer radiotherapy, the mean dose of radiation field involving the heart and its substructures, and the long-term incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1125 patients with breast cancer who received radiotherapy with radiation fields involving the hear at Beijing Hospital from January 2009 to June 2022. The heart and its substructures of 54 patients were manually delineated, trained an automatic delineation model, and applied this model to the original radiotherapy planning images to automatically extract dosimetric parameters for the heart and substructures in the original plan. Based on the follow-up results, 1125 breast cancer patients were categorized into the CHD event group ( n=19) and non-event group ( n=1106). Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Chi-square test and adjustment for confounding factors using inverse probability weighting were used to compare the mean radiation dose received by the heart and its substructures, age at presentation, history of smoking, history of alcohol consumption, history of hypertension, and history of diabetes between two groups. The influencing factors of CHD were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results:The mean heart dose ( P=0.035), mean dose of right atrium ( P=0.049), right coronary artery ( P=0.013), septum ( P=0.045), and right ventricle ( P=0.039) of the event group were higher than that of the non-event group, and the differences were statistically significant. History of alcohol consumption was an independent risk factor for long-term CHD events in the breast cancer patients ( OR=7.35,95% CI: 1.56-25.58, P=0.004). After adjusting for confounding factors using inverse probability weighting, age at presentation was an independent risk factor for long-term CHD events ( OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05, P=0.004). Conclusions:In the breast cancer population with traditional high-risk factors of CHD receiving radiotherapy, the possibility of CHD probably remains high even if the dose of radiation field involving the heart and its substructures is low. Compared to traditional risk factors of CHD, the mean dose to the heart and its substructures in the radiation field of breast cancer patients exerts less impact on the occurrence of CHD after radiotherapy.

Arsenic is a semi-metal,and lipid-soluble arsenic compounds are one of the widespread forms in the environment and food chain,but there is a lack of standards for lipid-soluble arsenic compounds,which is one of the bottlenecks in the current analytical detection and toxicological studies of organic arsenic.In this study,four saturated arsenic-containing hydrocarbons,AsHC 318,AsHC 332,AsHC 346,and AsHC 374(The number is relative molecular mass),were successfully synthesized in three steps by using dimethylarsinic acid,potassium iodide,sodium hydroxide,and four brominated alkanes(1-Bromotetradecane,1-bromopentadecane,1-bromohexadecane,and 1-bromooctadecane)as raw materials.The structures of these four saturated arsenic-containing hydrocarbons were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR)spectroscopy,13C nuclear magnetic resonance(13C NMR)spectroscopy,and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HR-MS).The yields of the method were 8%-10%,and the synthesized compounds could be used in subsequent toxicity evaluation experiments to assess the toxic effects and mechanisms of action of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons.This study provided an effective method for synthesis of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons,enriching the synthesis methods of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons,and provided raw materials for the subsequent toxicological studies of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons.
