Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T _NANC), time to symptom improvement (T _SI), and time of hospital stay (T _HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T _NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.

Urinary system tumors include malignancies of the bladder, kidney, and prostate, and present considerable challenges in diagnosis and treatment. The conventional therapeutic approaches against urinary tumors are limited by the lack of targeted drug delivery and significant adverse effects, thereby necessitating novel solutions. Intelligent nanomedicine has emerged as a promising therapeutic alternative for cancer in recent years, and uses nanoscale materials to overcome the inherent biological barriers of tumors, and enhance diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy. In this review, we have explored the recent advances and applications of intelligent nanomedicine for the diagnosis, imaging, and treatment of urinary tumors. The principles of nanomedicine design pertaining to drug encapsulation, targeting and controlled release have been discussed, with emphasis on the strategies for overcoming renal clearance and tumor heterogeneity. Furthermore, the therapeutic applications of intelligent nanomedicine, its advantages over traditional chemotherapy, and the challenges currently facing clinical translation of nanomedicine, such as safety, regulation and scalability, have also been reviewed. Finally, we have assessed the potential of intelligent nanomedicine in the management of urinary system tumors, emphasizing emerging trends such as personalized nanomedicine and combination therapies. This comprehensive review underscores the substantial contributions of nanomedicine to the field of oncology and offers a promising outlook for more effective and precise treatment strategies for urinary system tumors.

Objective : To analyze the metabolism of blood glucose，blood lipid and insulin in patients with recur- rent pregnancy loss (RPL) ，and to compare the predictive efficacy of triglyceride glycemic index (TyG) ，triglycer- ide glycemic body mass index (TyG-BMI) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance( HOMA-IR) for RPL． Methods : A total of 573 patients with RPL were selected as the RPL group，and 652 women who received as- sisted reproductive technology for male infertility were selected as the control group．The general data of the two groups were retrospectively analyzed．The levels of body mass index(BMI) ，fasting blood glucose (FPG) ，fasting triglyceride (FTG) ，fasting insulin ( FINS) ，TyG index，TyG-BMI index and HOMA-IR were compared between the two groups．Spearman correlation analysis was used to verify the correlation between TyG index，TyG-BMI in- dex and HOMA-IR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of TyG index，TyG-BMI index and HOMA-IR for RPL occurrence，and the optimal predictive cut-off point was calculated. Results : The BMI，FPG，FTG，TyG index，TyG-BMI index and HOMA-IR in the RPL group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0. 05) ．TyG index and TyG-BMI index were positively correlated with HOMA-IR , and the correlation coefficients were 0. 442 and 0. 505，respectively (P＜0. 001) . ROC curve a- nalysis showed that the area under the curve of TyG-BMI index predicting RPL was 0. 579 (95% CI : 0. 551 - 0. 607，P＜0. 001) ，which was greater than that of TyG index of 0. 557 (95% CI : 0. 529－0. 585，P＜0. 001) and HOMA-IR of 0. 535 (95% CI : 0. 507 －0. 563，P ＜0. 05) ，among which the difference between TyG-BMI index and HOMA-IR index area under the curve was statistically significant (P ＜0. 05 ) ．The optimal cut-off points of TyG-BMI index ，TyG index and HOMA-IR for predicting RPL were 172. 3 ( sensitivity 75. 7% ，specificity 37. 06% ) ，8. 32 ( sensitivity 59. 44% ， specificity 51. 61% ) and 3. 58 ( sensitivity 25. 87% ， specificity 81. 62% ) ，respectively． Conclusion The incidence of overweight，abnormal blood glucose，lipid and insulin me- tabolism in RPL patients is higher than that in normal women．TyG index and TyG-BMI index can be used as indi- cators of insulin metabolic status in RPL population besides HOMA-IR , and TyG-BMI index has a higher efficacy in predicting the occurrence of RPL compared to HOMA-IR.

Objective: To investigate the difference of clinical characteristics of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) in patients with losses after spontaneous gestation and after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer ( IVFET) ． Methods : 237 patients diagnosed with RSA were divided into spontaneous gestation group ( n = 185) and IVF group (n = 52) according to their previous modes of fertilization．The clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed. Results: Compared with the spontaneous gestation group，the age of the first pregnancy and the age at the time of RSA in the IVF group were statistically greater than those in the natural pregnancy group ( P < 0. 05 ) ．The number of biochemical pregnancies in IVF group was statistically higher than that in spontaneous gestation group，and the number of spontaneous abortions in IVF group was statistically lower than that in spontaneous gestation group (P＜0. 001) ．The proportion of patients with irregular menstruation in IVF group was statistically higher than that in spontaneous gestation group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) ． The serum activated partial prothrombin time (APTT) ，R , K，high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ，thyrotropin (TSH) and homocysteine ( HCY) in IVF group were statistically lower than those in spontaneous gestation group，and the Angel，Ma，low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and body mass index (BMI) in IVF group were statistically higher than those in spontaneous gestation group (P＜0. 05) ．In the comparison of etiological composition between the two groups，the proportion of anatomical factors in IVF group was statistically higher than that in spontaneous gestation group (P < 0. 05) ． Conclusion The abortion risk factors in RSA patients after IVF-ET is more serious than that in RSA patients after natural pregnancy．It is suggested to further improve and implement the pre-pregnancy examination and education of infertile patients during IVF-ET treatment，so as to reduce the risk of RSA and obtain a better pregnancy outcome.

Objective:To examine treatment outcomes of breast phyllodes tumors and the prognosis factors of local recurrence.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 276 patients who underwent surgical resection at Breast Center, Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2011 to December 2019. Tumor subtype and histopathological features were determined from pathology reports, and the deadline of follow-up was September 30 th, 2020. All 276 patients underwent open surgery, including 17 patients of mastectomy, and 259 patients of lumpectomy. The enrolled patients were all female, with age of (41.5±11.3) years (rang: 11 to 76 years), and tumor diameter of 35(28) mm ( M( Q R)). The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis. The multivariate analysis was implemented using the Cox proportional hazard model. Results:According the pathologic test, there were 191 patients of benign phyllodes tumor, 67 patients of borderline tumor and 18 patients of malignant tumor. There were 249 patients with a follow-up of more than 6 months, and 14.1% (35/249) had local recurrence. The time-to-recurrence was (28.6±22.2) months (range: 2 to 96 months), (29.1±18.1) months (range: 2 to 80 months), (32.1±30.1) months (range: 5 to 96 months) and (12.0±6.9) months (range: 8 to 20 months) for benign, borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors. Tumor diameter (≥100 mm vs.<50 mm, HR=3.968, 95%CI: 1.550 to 10.158, P=0.004) and malignant heterologous element (yes vs. no, HR=26.933, 95%CI: 3.105 to 233.600, P=0.003) were prognosis factors of local recurrence. One death from malignant phyllodes occurred after distant metastasis. The 3-year disease-free survival rates of benign, borderline and malignant phyllodes tumor were 88.2%, 81.7% and 81.4% ( P=0.300). Conclusion:Phyllodes tumors have a considerable local recurrence rate, which may be associated with tumor diameter and malignant heterologous element.

Objective: To summarize the impacts of the archived medical record value fund as established by the hospital, on the medical quality management, and propose improvement strategies. Methods: Retrospective analysis was made on 1 149 medical record scoring sheets, and the rate of connotations deducting scores in 197 of such sheets were compared. A statistical analysis was made on the archived medical records, regarding the rate of grade A medical records, defects composition of grade B medical records, the rate of connotation deducting scores, and the ability of the quality control experts (error correction ratio). Results: The archived medical record value fund has pushed up significantly the quality of medical records. For example, the rate of grade A medical records rose step by step from 89% to 95%; the rate of grade B medical records with single-item vetoes fell sharply, a difference of statistical significance (P<0.05); the connotation quality management of medical records was constantly improving, with the rate of connotation deducting scores gradually elevating (t=-4.409, P<0.05); the proportion of experts with strong error correction ability (error correction ratio≥80%) was elevated from 32.2% to 50.9%, a difference of statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions Archived medical record management can encourage medical quality management. The quality of medical records, especially the connotation quality of medical records has been improved. The ability of some quality control experts was also enhanced. The quality management system at hospital and department levels has made major progress.

Objective Studies have shown that low concentrations of nicotine can promote neovascularization and promote wound healing.This article aimed to investigate the influence of low concentration collagen membrane slow-release system on the hard palate trauma of rats.Methods Using poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) copolymer as carrier materials, low concentration nicotine sustained-release particles were prepared by emulsion evaporation method (w/o/w), using collagen membrane as the brace and establish a low concentration collagen membrane system.48 Wistar rats were divided into experimental group and blank group, 3 mm diameter circular wound was made in the forepart palate.Low concentration of nicotine collagen membrane sustained-release particle system and blank collagen membrane (control) were sutured on the wound with 6-0 absorbable thread.Then, observed the wound healing of 0, 3, 7, 10 days and compared the healing differences between each groups.Results Under the electron microscope, the nicotine sustained-release particles were circular, similar size with rough surface, the average diameter were 3.0±0.2μm, the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading rate was 50.2% and 4.12% respectively.In vitro, nicotine sustained-release particles released much more nicotine on the first day, less on the second day, tends to stable and fluctuate within a certain range from the third day on, and declined sharply after about 10 days, nicotine concentration from 3rd to 10th day was fluctuate within 10-5-10-4mol/L.Postoperative wound healing, no significant difference in 3 days(P>0.05), after 7 days, the wound healing of experimental group significantly greater compared with the control (P=0.015).The wound was healed in 10 days after operative, there was no significant difference between two groups(P>0.05).The epithelial proliferation in the experimental group was significantly greater than that in the blank group, there were many fibroblasts, inflammatory cells and new capillaries, the epithelial process is short, the submucosa is loose, and a large number of collagen fibers are produced.The lamina propria is closely connected with the periosteum, and the wound is healed Conclusion Low concentration of nicotine sustained-release particles collagen membrane system may promote wound healing in the hard palate mucosa of rats.

Objective CD44, a cell surface glycoprotein, plays an important role in tumor growth and glycolysis.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of neutralizing CD44 antibodies on the growth and glycolytic metabolism of B16 cells in melanoma in vitro.Methods B16 cells were treated with control antibodies (50 μg/mL) or different concentrations of CD44 antibodies (2, 10, and 50 μg/mL) for 24 hours, followed by examination of the activation of the AKT pathway in the B16 cells by Western blot.Then the tumor cells were also treated with control antibodies (50 μg/mL) or CD44 antibodies (50μg/mL) after pretreated with API-2 (4 μmol/L) in a parallel test.After 48 hours of treatment, the expression of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) in the B16 cells and the level of lactate in the culture supernatant were detected by immunofluorescence and colorimetry, respectively.Lastly, the B16 cells were treated with control antibodies (50μg/mL), API-2 (4 μmol/L), CD44 antibodies (50μg/mL), or API-2 + CD44 antibodies for 96 hours, followed by measurement of the proliferation of the cells by MTT and their apoptosis by AO/EB and AnnexinV staining.Results In comparison with the control antibody group, the level of AKT phosphorylation (p-AKT) in the B16 cells showed a concentration-dependent increase in the 2, 10, and 50 μg/mL CD44 antibody groups (1.00±0.25 vs 2.51±0.32, 3.89±0.46, and 4.07±0.42, P<0.01), and the expression of LDHA was increased by (2.13±0.24) times, with the lactate level in the culture supernatant significantly elevated from (35.32±3.24) to (56.34±8.19) mmol/L (P<0.01) after 96 hours of treatment with 50 μg/mL CD44 antibodies.Treatment with API-2+CD44 antibodies, however, suppressed the increase in the LDHA expression and reduced the level of lactate.Compared with the control antibody group, the proliferation rate of the B16 cells was markedly decreased in the API-2, CD44 antibody, and API-2+CD44 antibody groups ([103±12.91] vs [84.87±19.35], [71.35±16.23], and [41.16±9.15]%, P<0.05), while the apoptosis rate remarkably increased ([5.23±0.96] vs [13.65±4.27], [19.21±3.53], and [43.21±7.87]%, P<0.01).Conclusion Neutralizing the function of CD44 in the B16 cells in vitro can inhibit the growth of the cells and promote AKT-mediated glycolytic metabolism, while suppressing the AKT pathway may enhance the antitumor activity of the CD44 antibody.
