The general models for intermediates quality analysis in the production process of Yaobitong capsule were established by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with chemometrics, realizing the rapid determination of notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rd and moisture. The spray-dried fine powder and total mixed granule were selected as research objects. The contents of five saponins were determined by high performance liquid chromatography and the moisture content was determined by drying method. The measured contents were used as reference values. Meanwhile, NIR spectra were collected. After removing abnormal samples by Monte Carlo cross validation (MCCV), Monte Carlo uninformative variables elimination (MC-UVE) and competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) were used to select feature variables respectively. Based on the feature variables, quantitative models were established by partial least squares regression (PLSR), extreme learning machine (ELM) and ant lion optimization least squares support vector machine (ALO-LSSVM). The results showed that CARS-ALO-LSSVM model had the optimum effect. The correlation coefficients of the six index components were greater than 0.93, and the relative standard errors were controlled within 6%. ALO-LSSVM was more suitable for a large number of samples with rich information, and the prediction effect and stability of the model were significantly improved. The general models with good predicting effect can be used for the rapid quality determination of Yaobitong capsule intermediates.

To guide clinical blood transfusion practices for pediatric patients, the National Health Commission has issued the health standard "Guideline for pediatric transfusion" (WS/T 795-2022). Critically ill children often present with anemia and have a higher demand for transfusions compared to other pediatric patients. This guideline provides guidance and recommendations for blood transfusions in cases of general critical illness, septic shock, acute brain injury, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, non-life-threatening bleeding, and hemorrhagic shock. This article interprets the background and evidence of the blood transfusion provisions for critically ill and severely bleeding children in the "Guideline for pediatric transfusion", aiming to enhance understanding and implementation of this aspect of the guidelines.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of chronic disseminated candidiasis (CDC) in children with acute leukemia (AL) following chemotherapy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on children diagnosed with CDC (including confirmed, clinically diagnosed, and suspected cases) after AL chemotherapy from January 2015 to December 2023 at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Zhangzhou Municipal Hospital, and Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University. Clinical characteristics and prognosis were analyzed. RESULTS: The incidence of CDC in children with AL following chemotherapy was 1.92% (32/1 668). Among the children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the incidence of CDC in the high-risk group was significantly higher than in the low-risk group (P=0.002). All patients presented with fever unresponsive to antibiotics during the neutropenic period, with 81% (26/32) involving the liver. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were significantly elevated (≥50 mg/L) in 97% (31/32) of the patients. The efficacy of combined therapy with liposomal amphotericin B and caspofungin or posaconazole for CDC was 66% (19/29), higher than with caspofungin (9%, 2/22) or liposomal amphotericin B (18%, 2/11) monotherapy. The overall cure rate was 72% (23/32). The proportion of patients with CRP ≥50 mg/L and/or a positive β-D-glucan test for more than 2 weeks and breakthrough infections during caspofungin treatment was significantly higher in the treatment failure group compared to the successful treatment group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS CDC in children with AL after chemotherapy may be associated with prolonged neutropenia due to intensive chemotherapy. Combination antifungal regimens based on liposomal amphotericin B have a higher cure rate, while persistently high CRP levels and positive β-D-glucan tests may indicate poor prognosis.

To guide clinical blood transfusion practices in pediatric patients, the National Health Commission has issued the health standard "Guideline for pediatric transfusion" (WS/T 795-2022). Children undergoing cardiac surgery are at high risk of bleeding, and the causes of perioperative anemia and coagulation disorders in neonates and children are complex and varied, often necessitating the transfusion of allogeneic blood components. This guideline provides direction and recommendations for specific measures in blood management for children undergoing cardiac surgery before, during, and after surgery. This article interprets the background and evidence for the formulation of the blood transfusion provisions for children undergoing cardiac surgery, hoping to facilitate the understanding and implementation of this guideline.

BACKGROUND: Blood glucose and serum albumin have been associated with cardiovascular disease prognosis, but the impact of admission-blood-glucose-to-albumin ratio (AAR) on adverse outcomes in critical ill coronary artery disease (CAD) patients was not investigated. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with CAD were non-consecutively selected from the MIMIC-IV database and categorized into quartiles based on their AAR. The primary outcome was 1-year mortality, and secondary endpoints were in-hospital mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), and renal replacement therapy (RRT). A restricted cubic splines model and Cox proportional hazard models assessed the association between AAR and adverse outcomes in CAD patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis determined differences in endpoints across subgroups. RESULTS: A total of 8360 patients were included. There were 726 patients (8.7%) died in the hospital and 1944 patients (23%) died at 1 year. The incidence of AKI and RRT was 63% and 4.3%, respectively. High AAR was markedly associated with in-hospital mortality (HR = 1.587, P = 0.003), 1-year mortality (HR = 1.502, P < 0.001), AKI incidence (HR = 1.579, P < 0.001), and RRT (HR = 1.640, P < 0.016) in CAD patients in the completely adjusted Cox proportional hazard model. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis noted substantial differences in all endpoints based on AAR quartiles. Stratified analysis and interaction test demonstrated stable correlations between AAR and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The results highlight that AAR may be a potential indicator for assessing in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and adverse renal prognosis in critical CAD patients.

OBJECTIVES: To design a deep learning model that balances model complexity and performance to enable its integration into wearable ECG monitoring devices for automated diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. METHODS: This study was performed based on data from 84 patients with atrial fibrillation, 25 patients with atrial fibrillation, and 18 subjects without obvious arrhythmia collected from the publicly available datasets LTAFDB, AFDB, and NSRDB, respectively. A lightweight attention network based on depthwise separable convolution and fusion of channel-spatial information, namely DSC-AttNet, was proposed. Depthwise separable convolution was introduced to replace standard convolution and reduce model parameters and computational complexity to realize high efficiency and light weight of the model. The multilayer hybrid attention mechanism was embedded to compute the attentional weights of the channels and spatial information at different scales to improve the feature expression ability of the model. Ten-fold cross-validation was performed on LTAFDB, and external independent testing was conducted on AFDB and NSRDB datasets. RESULTS: DSC-AttNet achieved a ten-fold average accuracy of 97.33% and a precision of 97.30% on the test set, both of which outperformed the other 4 comparison models as well as the 3 classical models. The accuracy of the model on the external test set reached 92.78%, better than those of the 3 classical models. The number of parameters of DSC-AttNet was 1.01M, and the computational volume was 27.19G, both smaller than the 3 classical models. CONCLUSIONS This proposed method has a smaller complexity, achieves better classification performance, and has a better generalization ability for atrial fibrillation classification.

China has become the country with the highest global burden of heart failure(HF).Despite the widespread use of prognostic-improving medications today,the mortality rate of HF remains high,reaching 13.7％at one year-particularly among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF).HF interventional device therapy(structural intervention)targets the structural factors underlying HF,including atrial pressure,ventricular remodeling,and valvular intervention.It leverages the heart's intrinsic physiological properties and pathological progression mechanisms to deliver treatments through interventions without external active forces,achieving anatomical or functional repair.This field has emerged as a rapidly growing area and plays an increasingly critical role in HF management.This article provides a comprehensive review and summary of the latest advancements in HF and cardiomyopathy interventional therapy over the past year.It covers various novel technologies and products currently in the research phase,aiming to provide an in-depth analysis of the current status and future directions of HF interventional therapy,and further advance the development of this discipline.

Objective:Analyze the risk factors of gastrointestinal perforation caused by foreign body and summarize the experience of surgical treatment of foreign bodies.Method:From Jan 2008 to Dec 2023, 89 patients with foreign bodies in the digestive tract were admitted to the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Peking University First Hospital. Relevant data were collected and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for intestinal perforation, resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy.Results:The mean age of 89 patients was (60.1±16.2) years old, 65 patients (73%) had unintentionally ingested foreign bodies. The most common foreign bodies were jujube pits (40 cases). Thirty-nine patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal perforation. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the total number of leukocytes ( OR=4.085, 95% CI: 1.214-13.745, P=0.023), sharp foreign body ( OR=26.124, 95% CI: 5.194-131.392, P<0.001), and the location of foreign body ( OR=3.980, 95% CI: 1.178-13.465, P=0.026) were the independent risk factors for gastrointestinal perforation. Thirty-three patients underwent gastrointestinal repair surgery, and 36 patients underwent resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the foreign body located in the colorectum ( OR=71.928, 95% CI: 4.646-1 113.479, P=0.002) and the length of the foreign body ≤2.5 cm ( OR=5.791, 95% CI: 1.606-20.882, P=0.007) were the independent risk factors for resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy. Conclusions:Leukocyte count ≥10×10 9/L, sharp foreign body, and location of foreign body are independent risk factors for gastrointestinal perforation. Foreign body located in the colorectum and foreign body length ≤2.5 cm are risk factors for resection and anastomosis of intestine or enterostomy/colostomy.
