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.

Objective:To study the expression of Proline rich protein11 (PRR11) in breast cancer and its relationship with clinical biological behavior, prognosis and survival.Methods:A prospective analysis method was used to select 80 patients with breast cancer from Jan. 2018 to Jan. 2019. Immunohistochemical S-P method was used to detect the expression of PRR11 in cancer tissues. Patients with positive expression of PRR11 were set as the study group ( n=47) and the patients with negative expression of PRR11 were set as the control group ( n=33) . All patients were followed up for 3 years to analyze and compare the survival rates of patients with positive and negative expression of PRR11. The relationship between PRR11 expression and clinical biological behavior, prognosis and survival was analyzed by Cox risk ratio review model. Results:80 patients were followed up for 3 years. It was found that the prognosis of patients with negative PRR11 expression was significantly better than that of patients with positive PRR11 expression ( χ2=5.75, P<0.001) . Chi square test was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of PRR11 and tumor size, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, histological grade, Ki67 expression and hormone receptor status ( P<0.05) . The expression of PRR11 in breast cancer tissues with larger tumors, distant metastasis and later staging was relatively high ( P<0.05) . Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that histological grade, TNM stage and PRR11 were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients ( P<0.001) . The AUC of prognosis prediction in patients with breast cancer was 0.812, and the 95% CI was 0.635-0.796. When PRR11 expression was positive, the sensitivity was 81.47%, and the specificity was 85.57%. Conclusions:The expression of PRR11 is relatively high in the late stage breast cancer tissue. The expression of PRR11 is closely related to the clinical biological behavior of breast cancer size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. The survival rate of patients with high PRR11 expression is low, and the positive expression of PRR11 is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients. PRR11 detection has preferable clinical application value in predicting the prognosis of breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the effect of multiple intelligences theory combined with the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model in surgical clinical practice teaching.Methods:A total of 100 residents trained in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from July 2019 to April 2020 were randomly divided into the control group ( n=50) and the observation group ( n=50). The control group used the ADDIE model, and the observation group adopted the multiple intelligences theory combined with the ADDIE model. The teaching assessment of the two groups was compared, and the core competence, critical thinking ability, self-evaluation, and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were evaluated. SPSS 22.0 was used for Chi-square test and t-test. Results:The scores of basic knowledges of gastrointestinal surgery, surgical clinical thinking and case analysis, routine skills and operations, and the total scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The scores of professional knowledge and skills, patient safety and rights, scientific research and academic ability, professional ethics, teamwork, personal and professional development ability in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). While, there was no significant difference in the mastering of knowledge between the two groups ( P>0.05). The four dimensions of learning interest, self-learning ability, innovation ability, and clinical thinking establishment in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Multiple intelligences theory combined with ADDIE model in surgical clinical practice teaching can improve the teaching assessment results, significantly enhance the core competence, stimulate the learning interest, cultivate the self-learning ability and innovation ability of residents, and help them to establish clinical thinking ability.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic surgical treatment of synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinonm at the esophagogastric junction.Methods The clinical data of 17 patients with synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma associated with adenocarcinoma of esophagogatric junction between Jan 2010 and Jan 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among these 17 patients,9 patients underwent thoracoscopy and laparoscopy with partial resection of esophagus and proximal stomach,and gastroesophageal and neck anastomosis.3 patients underwent thoracoscopy and laparoscopy with partial resection of esophagus and proximal stomach,gastroesophageal intrathoracic anastomosis.Laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy combined with radiotherapy for esophageal cancer was performed in 5 cases.There was not perioperative death or serious complications.The cumulative survival rates of 1,3 and 5 years after surgery were 100％,42％ and 24％,respectively.Conclusion Thoracolaparscopic surgery combined with local radiation therapy is a safe and effective treatment for patients with synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma at esophagogastric junction.

Objective To observed the expression of serum TNF-α and IL-10 in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) at different altitudes,and to explore the relationships between TNF-α and IL-10,the pathological changes of the pancreas,and the experimental basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of SAP.Methods 72 specific pathogen free (SPF) Wistar male rats were divided randomly into three groups:1 500 meters altitude (group L),3 300 meters altitude (group M),and 4 300 meters altitude (group H).These three groups were then each divided randomly into four subgroups:control (group n),6 hours after pancreatitis (group p 6 h),12 hours after pancreatitis (group p 12 h),and 24 hours after pancreatitis (group p 24 h).Pancreatitis was induced by intraductal administration of 5％ sodium taurocholate hydrate (NaTc).The rats were killed at 6,12,and 24 hours after NaTc injection in groups p.The group n rats were killed after 6 hours of pancreas observation.Blood samples and pancreatic tissues were collected post mortem and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) measured serum TNF-α and IL-10.Results Compared with the control (group n),histopathological scores,IL-10,and TNF-α in the same altitude had a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05) in group p at each time point.In the same altitude of group p,histopathological scores and IL-10 were increased with time elapsed (P ＜ 0.05),while TNF-α was decreased with time elapsed (P ＜ 0.05).There was a significant difference between group Mp and Lp in histopathological scores,IL-10,and TNF-α (P ＜ 0.05),and the same result between group Hp and Lp (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between group Hp and Mp (P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,IL-10 had a positive relationship with histopathological score,but TNF-α had a negative relationship with histopathological score.Conclusions The level of TNF-α increased with increasing altitude but significantly reduced with elapsed time.The level of IL-10 increased with both increasing altitude elapsed time.These results suggested that TNF-o and IL-10 might play a important role at different times in severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effect of radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under combination of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy (RECTL) with traditional radical resection of esophageal carcinoma(TREC).Methods 80 patients receiving RECTL and 80 patients receiving TREC were chosen in our hospital.The general conditions during operation,pathologic data,postoperative complications and recurrence or metastasis rates were compared between two groups.Results Compared with TREC group,RECTL group had longer operation time 、less bleeding、less postoperative chest drainage liquid amount and less postoperative morphine administration (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The postoperative hospital stays were not statistically different between the two groups(P ＞0.05).The length of resected esophagus specimen and tumor near end cutting edge length in RECTL group are longer than that in TREC group,but with the former no statistically different(P ＞0.05) and the latter statistically different(P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences about the number of dissected lymph nodes and the incidence of complications and local recurrence by cut plant between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of postoperative reflux gastritis was 7.1％ in RECTL group and 45 ％ in TREC group,with significantly statistical difference(P ＜0.01).The two groups had similar recurrence or metastasis rate(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under combination of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy,with small wound and early recovery,has the same effect as traditional operational resection of esophageal carcinoma.
