Objective:This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of levosimendan in elderly patients with acute heart failure across varying levels of renal function, utilizing real-world data.Methods:We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 699 elderly patients with acute heart failure who were hospitalized at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and received positive inotropic drugs between January 2015 and December 2022.The median age of the participants was 71 years(interquartile range, 66 to 77), with 61.9% being male.Among these patients, 171 received non-levosimendan positive inotropic drugs(non-levosimendan group), while 528 were treated with levosimendan(levosimendan group).Baseline clinical data collected during hospitalization were analyzed.The primary outcomes assessed included the reduction in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)levels following treatment, as well as mortality rates within 30 days and one year.Secondary outcomes encompassed the length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality.Patients were categorized based on their estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)prior to treatment, with groups defined as those with eGFR≥60 ml·min -1·1.73(m -1) 2 and those with eGFR between 15 and <60 ml·min -1·1.73(m -1) 2.The impact of levosimendan treatment on heart failure improvement and clinical prognosis was analyzed using a double robust method, which accounted for patients with varying levels of renal function. Results:In comparison to the non-levosimendan group, a significantly higher proportion of patients in the levosimendan group exhibited decreased NT-proBNP levels(31.0% vs.47.0%, P<0.001).However, there were no significant differences regarding the length of hospital stay, in-hospital mortality, or mortality rates at 30 days and 1 year(all P>0.05).After applying the double robust method for adjustment, levosimendan was shown to significantly reduce NT-proBNP levels( OR=1.553, 95% CI: 1.225-1.972, P<0.001), although it did not result in a significant improvement in 30-day or 1-year mortality rates.In patients with an eGFR of 15-<60 ml·min -1·1.73(m -1) 2, levosimendan significantly reduced NT-proBNP levels( OR=1.797, 95% CI: 1.308-2.481, P<0.001)and decreased 30-day mortality( HR=0.536, 95% CI: 0.292-0.986, P=0.045).Similarly, in patients with eGFR ≥60 ml·min -1·1.73(m -1) 2, levosimendan significantly reduced NT-proBNP levels( OR=1.965, 95% CI: 1.325-2.933, P<0.001), but did not improve 30-day mortality.Across varying levels of renal function, levosimendan had no significant effect on 1-year mortality. Conclusions:Levosimendan can significantly enhance cardiac function in elderly patients experiencing acute heart failure, irrespective of varying levels of renal function.Notably, greater benefits regarding short-term mortality were observed in patients with an eGFR of 15-<60 ml·min -1·1.73(m -1) 2.

Recent clinical studies have shown that mutation of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) gene in cancer cells may be associated with immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and poor response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Therefore, efficiently restoring PTEN gene expression in cancer cells is critical to improving the responding rate to ICB therapy. Here, we screened an adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid for efficient PTEN gene delivery into B16F10 tumor cells. We demonstrated that intratumorally injected AAV6-PTEN successfully restored the tumor cell PTEN gene expression and effectively inhibited tumor progression by inducing tumor cell immunogenic cell death (ICD) and increasing immune cell infiltration. Moreover, we developed an anti-PD-1 loaded phospholipid-based phase separation gel (PPSG), which formed an in situ depot and sustainably release anti-PD-1 drugs within 42 days in vivo. In order to effectively inhibit the recurrence of melanoma, we further applied a triple therapy based on AAV6-PTEN, PPSG@anti-PD-1 and CpG, and showed that this triple therapy strategy enhanced the synergistic antitumor immune effect and also induced robust immune memory, which completely rejected tumor recurrence. We anticipate that this triple therapy could be used as a new tumor combination therapy with stronger immune activation capacity and tumor inhibition efficacy.
