Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety profile of antaitasvir phosphate combined with yiqibuvir in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of various genotypes, without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:394 cases with CHC from 22 centers were collected from October 2021 to April 2023. They were randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drugs (antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg) or placebo treatment in a 3∶1 ratio. The patients were administered drugs once a day for 12 consecutive weeks, and then followed up for 24 weeks after treatment cessation. All subjects were unblinded at the four-week follow-up following drug discontinuation, with the experimental drug group continuing to complete subsequent post-discontinuation follow-up. The placebo group was switched to receive the experimental drugs for a repeated 12-week treatment period and followed up for another 24 weeks after discontinuation of the drug (placebo delayed treatment phase).The sustained virologic response rate (SVR12) was observed for subjects in the double-blind phase and the placebo delayed-treatment phase at 12 weeks after treatment cessation.Virological resistance analysis was performed on subjects who failed treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The number and percentage of subjects who achieved "HCV RNA

Objective:To investigate the differences in protein profile expression in serum samples from children with corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)related encephalopathy and to explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods:From December 1,2022 to January 31,2023,28 children with COVID-19 who were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Intensive Medicine at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were collected,including 21 patients with encephalopathy(COVID-19 with encephalopathy group) and seven patients without encephalopathy(COVID-19 without encephalopathy group).Three children from each group were selected for serum proteomic analysis using tandem mass spectrometry labeling proteomics technology.Proteins were considered significantly different if the fold change was >1.2 or <0.8,with P<0.05.Bioinformatics analysis,including Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Pathway Enrichment were performed on differentially expressed proteins.Protein-protein interaction networks were analyzed using the STRING database.Selected proteins were further validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbert assay. Results:A total of 41 differentially expressed proteins were identified between the two groups.Among these,14 proteins were upregulated and 27 proteins were downregulated in COVID-19 patients with encephalopathy compared to those without encephalopathy.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these proteins were primarily enriched in critical signaling pathways,including complement and coagulation regulation,neutrophil degranulation and activation,and platelet degranulation.Enzyme-linked immunosorbert assay validation confirmed significant differences in key coagulation-regulating proteins(von willebrand factor upregulated,serpin family F member 2 downregulated in COVID-19 patients with encephalopatly)between the two groups.Conclusion:Coagulation dysfunction may play a role in the development of COVID-19 associated encephalopathy in children,providing valuable insights for future research.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of early death (within 3 months) in adult glioma patients, and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 228 adult glioma patients admitted to the 909th Hospital (Dongnan Hospital of Xiamen University) from June 2020 to June 2024. Patients were divided into a death group ( n=32) and a survival group ( n=196) based on whether death occurred within 3 months, and the clinical data between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of death within 3 months, a logistic regression prediction model was constructed, and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of the model. Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, tumor location, tumor involvement, neurological impairment, maximum tumor diameter, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy (all P>0.05). The death group showed higher proportions of cerebral herniation ( χ2=20.74, P<0.001), hospital admission Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score ≤70 ( χ2=26.66, P<0.001), tumor grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ ( χ2=28.70, P<0.001), MGMT promoter unmethylation ( χ2=10.25, P=0.001), IDH wild-type ( χ2=6.18, P=0.013), and incomplete tumor resection ( χ2=10.37, P=0.001) compared with the survival group. Multivariate analysis revealed that cerebral herniation ( OR=19.78, 95% CI: 5.33-73.41, P<0.001), hospital admission KPS score ≤70 ( OR=19.64, 95% CI: 5.54-69.59, P<0.001), tumor grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ ( OR=9.40, 95% CI: 3.02-29.27, P<0.001), MGMT promoter unmethylation ( OR=4.28, 95% CI: 1.18-15.54, P=0.027), and incomplete tumor resection ( OR=9.50, 95% CI: 2.72-33.23, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for early death in glioma patients. The risk prediction model for early death in glioma patients constructed based on these indicators was logit ( P) =-18.04+2.96×cerebral herniation (with=1, without=0) +2.98×hospital admission KPS score (≤70=1, >70=0) +2.24×tumor grade (Ⅲ-Ⅳ=1, Ⅰ-Ⅱ=0) +1.45×MGMT promoter methylation (no=1, yes=0) +2.25×complete tumor resection (no=1, yes=0). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that this model had predictive value for early death in glioma patients, with an area under the curve of 0.920 (95% CI: 0.868-0.972), a sensitivity of 0.842, and a specificity of 0.906. Conclusions:Cerebral herniation, hospital admission KPS score ≤70, tumor grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ, MGMT promoter unmethylation, and incomplete tumor resection are independent risk factors for early death in adult glioma patients. The risk prediction model constructed based on these indicators has good predictive value.

In recent years, the research data on the combination model of insomnia of liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were sorted out and summarized in terms of the selection of experimental animals, modelling methods, and model evaluation, with a view to providing references for the standardized preparation of the experimental model of insomnia of liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome and the study of the intervention mechanism. As for the selection of experimental animals, rats and mice are commonly used for the study of sleep patterns in the insomnia model of liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome because their sleep patterns are similar to those of human beings; zebrafish is suitable for the study of sleep patterns in early development because of its high genetic homology; and rhesus macaques, common marmosets, and crab-eating monkeys are used for the study of highly complex sleep disorders because their physiological and behavioural characteristics are closer to those of human beings. In terms of modelling methods, electrical stimulation, chronic restraint, chronic emotional stress and impact psychological stress each have their own characteristics and application scenarios, while chronic tail-clamping stimulation combined with intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) combines physical and chemical stimuli, in order to simulate the complex mechanism of insomnia in human beings, and to more comprehensively simulate the pathology of insomnia with liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome. In terms of evaluation indexes, electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) monitoring and barbiturate synergistic sleep test are the most commonly used and scientific methods for evaluating insomnia animal models with liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome, which can provide intuitive and continuous sleep state monitoring; barbiturate synergistic sleep test can reflect the sensitivity and responsiveness of the model animals to the sleep-regulating medications; and the introduction of the method of using formulas to measure syndromes for the evaluating the model can combine the treatment and diagnostic principles of TCM with modern scientific research.

Objective:To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of a child with Hypotrichosis 14.Methods:A child who had presented at the Henan Provincial People′s Hospital on May 4, 2020 due to hair thinning was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the child and her parents. Genomic DNA was extracted and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.Results:The child, a 5-year-old female, had presented with thin, soft lanugo-like hair which was easy to fall off. The child was found to harbor compound heterozygous missense variants of the LSS gene, namely c. 1609G>A (p.V537M) in exon 17 and c. 802T>G (p.F268V) in exon 8, which were respectively inherited from her father and mother. Both variant sites were highly conserved, though based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), both variants were rated as variants of unknown significance (PM2_Supporting+ PP3+ PP4). Conclusion:The c. 1609G>A (p.V537M) and c. 802T>G (p.F268V) compound heterozygous variants of the LSS gene probably underlay the clinical phenotype in this patient.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg or 200 mg combined with yiqibuvir for 12 weeks in patients with various genotypes of chronic hepatitis C, without cirrhosis or compensated stage cirrhosis.Methods:Patients with chronic hepatitis C (without cirrhosis or compensated stage cirrhosis) were randomly assigned to the antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg group (100 mg group) or the antaitasvir phosphate 200 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg group (200 mg group) in a 1∶1 ratio. The drugs were continuously administered once a day for 12 weeks and observed for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. The drug safety profile was assessed concurrently with the observation of the sustained virological response (SVR12) in the two patient groups 12 weeks following the drug cessation. The intention-to-treat concept was used to define as closely as possible a full analysis set, including all randomized cases who received the experimental drug at least once. The safety set was collected from all subjects who received the experimental drug at least once (regardless of whether they participated in the randomization group) in this study. All efficacy endpoints and safety profile data were summarized using descriptive statistics. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The primary analysis was performed on a full analysis set. The frequency and proportion of cases were calculated in the experimental drug group (antaitasvir phosphate capsules combined with yiqibuvir tablets) that achieved "HCV RNA
