Objective: To investigate the value of combined monitoring of hemolytic reaction indicators in the efficacy assessment of lymphomaassociated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (LAHLH) secondary to Evans syndrome (ES). Methods: One patient with LAHLH secondary to ES complicated by hemolytic crisis was enrolled. Under the premise that necessary red blood cell transfusions were administered due to severe anemia, combined dynamic monitoring was performed for the following hemolytic reaction indicators: posttransfusion hemoglobin increment, reticulocyte percentage (RET%), total bilirubin(TBil), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and direct antiglobulin test (DAT). Furthermore, based on the literature of the past five years, we analyzed the relationship between the dynamic changes of the these indicators and the response to immunosuppressive therapy. Results: During the hemolytic crisis period, the 24 hour posttransfusion hemoglobin increments were both <10 g/L after two consecutive red blood cell transfusions, indicating ineffective transfusion. After intensified immunosuppressive therapy, the hemoglobin increments reached +14 g/L and +15 g/L, respectively, after two subsequent transfusions, converting to effective transfusion. Concurrently, RET% decreased from a peak of 29.32% to 12.71%, and LDH and bilirubin improved synchronously. The combined interpretation of hemoglobin increment, dynamic RET% trends, and DAT results facilitated the distinction of the relative contributions of immune hemolysis, hemophagocytosis, and bone marrow failure to anemia. Conclusion: Under the strict premise that transfusion indications are adhered to and patient safety is ensured, combined dynamic monitoring of hemolytic reaction indicators can provide realtime, objective bedside auxiliary information for the efficacy assessment of LAHLH secondary to ES, and has certain clinical value in optimizing the timing of treatment adjustments.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of Zhachong-13 pills.METHODS The contents of agarotetrol， costunolide， hypaconitine， dehydrocostus lactone， mesaconitine， aconitine， liquiritigenin， glycyrrhizic acid， ellagic acid， liquiritin， corilagin， and gallic acid in 18 batches of samples were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry （HPLC-MS/MS） method. Cluster analysis （CA） was performed using the Microbioinformatics online analysis platform. Principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were performed using SIMCA 14.1 software. Random forest， extremely randomized trees， and extreme gradient boosting machine learning models were constructed using the SPSSAU online analysis platform. The comprehensive quality of the samples was evaluated by the entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution （TOPSIS） method.RESULTS The contents of the above 12 components were 104.331-694.382， 652.217-1 085.075， 6.051-130.980， 612.174-1 417.179， 1.018-32.239， 0.953-24.967， 65.552-652.239， 2 019.412-5 385.807， 52.867-4 990.450， 156.307-883.180， 10.142-475.722， and 1 102.863-4 826.396 μg/g， respectively. The results of CA and PCA showed that the 18 batches of samples were divided into two categories： S1-S6， S10-S15 were grouped into one category， while S7-S9 and S16-S18 were grouped into another category. The OPLS-DA results showed that the variable importance in projection values of mesaconitine， glycyrrhizic acid， liquiritin， ellagic acid， hypaconitine， liquiritigenin， agarotetrol， gallic acid， and dehydrocostus lactone were greater than 1. The results of the three machine learning models showed that ellagic acid and hypaconitine had relatively large differential contributions. The entropy weight-TOPSIS results showed that the overall quality of samples from manufacturer B was superior to that of the other four manufacturers.CONCLUSIONS The established method is stable and feasible， and can be used to evaluate the quality of Zhachong-13 pills， in combination with multivariate statistical analysis. Ellagic acid and hypaconitine are differential markers that affect its quality.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of an opioid-sparing anesthesia strategy primarily using quadratus lumborum block combined with esketamine on early postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. From January 2023 to July 2024, 72 patients of either sex, aged 45-65 yr, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing elective laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer with general anesthesia at Yichang Central People′s Hospital, were divided into 2 groups ( n=36 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C) and opioid-sparing anesthesia strategy group (group D). Anesthesia was induced with sufentanil and propofol and maintained with propofol and remifentanil in group C. In group D, ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block was performed before the start of anesthesia, and anesthesia was induced with esketamine, propofol and lidocaine and maintained with esketamine, propofol, low-dose remifentanil, lidocaine and magnesium sulfate. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was carried out at the end of surgery until 48 h postoperatively, using dezocine for rescue analgesia. The Quality of Recovery-15 scores were assessed and recorded at 1 day before operation and 1, 3 and 7 days after operation. Ramsay sedation scores were recorded at 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after surgery. The effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and requirement for rescue analgesia were recorded within 24 h after surgery and during the 24-48 h postoperative period. The intraoperative consumption of opioid, emergence time, duration of postanesthesia care unit stay, time to first flatus, first ambulation time and length of postoperative hospital stay were also recorded. The postoperative complications were recorded during hospital stay and assessed with the Clavien-Dindo classification. Results:Compared with group C, the Quality of Recovery-15 scores were significantly increased at each time point after operation, Ramsay sedation scores were increased at 2, 6 and 12 h after operation, the effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and rate of rescue analgesia were decreased in each postoperative period, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was reduced, the time to first flatus, first ambulation time and length of postoperative hospital stay were shortened, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the emergence time or duration of postanesthesia care unit stay in group D ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The opioid-sparing anesthesia strategy primarily using quadratus lumborum block combined with esketamine can raise the quality of early postoperative recovery in the patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum nidogen-2 (NID-2) and thoracic aortic calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and construct a risk prediction model based on NID-2 to evaluate its value in predicting the risk of the severe thoracic aortic calcification and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in CKD patients.Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. Patients with CKD at stage 3 to 5D in the Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2022 to January 2023 were enrolled. Syngo.via software was used to evaluate the volume of thoracic aortic calcification, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the level of serum NID-2. According to the volume of thoracic aortic calcification, the patients were divided into three groups: no calcification group, mild calcification group and severe calcification group. The top 25% of the patients were defined as no or mild calcification group, and the latter 75% were defined as severe calcification group. The follow-up period was one year. During the follow-up period, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, as well as all-cause death among the enrolled patients were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of thoracic aortic calcification. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis, a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), calibration curve, and decision curve were employed to evaluate the discrimination, calibration and clinical practicality of the nomogram model.Results:A total of 132 patients were included, with 91 males (68.94%) and age of (56.51±16.37) years. There were 60 CKD 3-5 stage patients (non-dialysis, 45.45%) and 72 CKD 5D patients (dialysis, 54.55%). Serum ND-2 levels differed significantly among healthy individuals, dialysis patients and non-dialysis patients ( H=70.651, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in serum NID-2 level between the no or mild calcification group and the severe calcification group in dialysis patients ( Z=350.00, P=0.426). The serum NID-2 level in the severe calcification group was significantly higher than that in the no or mild calcification group in non-dialysis patients ( Z=242.00, P=0.019). In non-dialysis patients, there was a statistically significant correlation between serum NID-2 level and volume of thoracic aortic calcification ( r=0.40, P<0.001). In dialysis patients, there was no statistically significant correlation between serum NID-2 level and volume of each segment of thoracic aortic calcification (all P>0.05). The univariate logistic regression analysis showed that, age, hemoglobin, serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, NID-2, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction were correlated factors of thoracic aortic calcification in non-dialysis patients (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.22, 95% CI 1.08-1.50, P=0.010) was an independent correlated factor of thoracic aortic calcification in non-dialysis patients. The above related variables of univariate logistic regression analysis were incorporated into a nomogram to construct a predictive model for severe vascular calcification in non-dialysis patients, yielding an AUC of 0.94 (95% CI 0.89-0.99) in ROC curve, with a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 95%. A nomogram model based on above variables for predicting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in non-dialysis patients demonstrated an AUC of 0.95 (95% CI 0.90-1.00) in ROC curve, with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 87%. Conclusions:In non-dialysis patients, serum NID-2 level in the severe calcification group is significantly higher than that in the no or mild calcification group. The serum NID-2 is a related factor of thoracic aortic calcification and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in non-dialysis patients. The nomogram prediction model constructed by combining NID-2 with age, hemoglobin, serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction has a high predictive value for the risk of thoracic aortic calcification as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in non-dialysis patients.

Objective:To observe the pregnancy outcomes of patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) after interventional treatment or expectant treatment.Methods:This prospective study followed up 398 patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion from March 2017 to September 2022 in seven hospitals. Among them, 267 patients were diagnosed with URSA, including 124 patients who were initially diagnosed in the interventional treatment hospital and 143 patients who were initially diagnosed in the expectant treatment hospital. All URSA patients were followed up for 33 months. Ongoing pregnancy rates were observed as main outcome indicators.Results:A total of 127 patients became pregnant, and 107 of them had sustained pregnancies, the ongoing pregnancy rate was 84.25% (107/127). The ongoing pregnancy rate was 86.11% (31/36) in the interventional treatment group and 83.52% (76/91) in the expectant treatment group, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). During the follow-up, the ongoing pregnancy rates in the interventional treatment hospital and the expectant treatment hospital were 75.71% (53/70) and 94.74% (54/57), respectively, with a significant difference ( P<0.05). The ongoing pregnancy rate after interventional treatment in the interventional treatment hospital was 82.76% (24/29), which was similar to the 94.00% (47/50) after expectant treatment in the expectant treatment hospital ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The ongoing pregnancy rate of interventional treatment for URSA patients has not been significantly improved, suggesting that it may not be necessary to carry out this treatment.

Objective To form an expert consensus on nasogastric tube and intestinal tube placement in children(hereinafter referred to as the"consensus"),and provide a reference for pediatric medical workers regarding the operation of gastrointestinal tube placement in children.Methods A"consensus"formulation group was established.The"5.0"EBHC Pyramid Model was employed to systematically search,evaluate,summarize and extract relevant evidence to form the initial draft of the"consensus".The RAND-UCLA expert consensus method was utilized.Through a round of expert inquiries by correspondence and a round of face-to-face expert discussions,the data were collated,analyzed,refined,and modified to form the final version of the"consensus".Results The effective recovery rate of the expert inquiry questionnaire was 100％.The coefficient of expert authority(Cr)was 0.891.The Kendall's concordance coefficient of the inquiries was 0.692(P＜0.01),which was statistically significant.The median of the"RAND-UCLA"suitability score were 7-9 points,and the disagreement index(DI)value was＜1.00.The final"consensus"encompasses 9 aspects,including qualification requirements for the tube placement personnel,indications and contraindications,preoperative assessment,preoperative preparation,measurement of tube length,key points of tube placement,methods for confirming the position,tube flushing,fixation,and recording,with 47 recommendations.Conclusion This"consensus"is scientific,rigorous,and practical,covering all links of the gastrointestinal tube placement process in children,providing reference and guidance for the safe and standardized implementation of gastrointestinal tube placement in children.

Objective To observe the value of artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction(AIIR)for abdominal and pelvic CT examination after total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods Totally 64 patients after THA who underwent abdominal and pelvic CT examinations were retrospectively collected,including 31 patients received routine CT scanning and 33 patients received dual-energy CT scanning.AIIR and hybrid iterative reconstruction(HIR)algorithms were used to obtain AIIR and HIR images based on conventional CT images,respectively,while 70-140 keV(interval of 5 keV)virtual monoenergetic images(VMI)were reconstructed based on dual-energy CT images.VMI with the best comprehensive imaging qualities were selected for analysis.Subjective scores and objective evaluation results of imaging quality were compared among different kinds of images.Results The subjective scores of artifacts,bones,diagnostic confidence,as well as displaying of pelvic organs and blood vessels on both AIIR images and VMI were all higher than those of HIR images(all P＜0.001),while no significant difference was found between AIIR images and VMI(all P＞0.017).Pairwise comparison of high-density artifact fraction and skeletal artifact fraction on AIIR,HIR images and VMI showed significant differences(all P＜0.001).No significant difference of low density artifact fraction nor high density noise fraction was detected between AIIR image and VMI(both P＞0.017),and the objective evaluation results were different from those of HIR images(both P＜0.017).The low density noise fraction of AIIR images was lower than that of HIR images(P＜0.017),while no significant difference was found between AIIR or HIR images and VMI(both P＞0.017).The bone noise fraction of AIIR and HIR images were both higher than that of VMI(both P＜0.017),while no significant difference was found between these two kinds of images(P＞0.017).Conclusion AIIR could reduce artifacts and image noise of abdominal and pelvic CT examination after THA and improve imaging quality.

The Shanghai-style pediatric Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)school,a renowned academic school of pediatric Tuina in China,was founded by Professor JIN Yicheng,a mentor of the National Senior Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)Experts'Clinical Experience Inheritance Class and a distinguished TCM practitioner in Shanghai.This academic school has now been perpetuated through four generations.Prof.JIN Yicheng,a pioneering leader in modern China's pediatric Tuina,has dedicated sixty years to medical practice with unwavering benevolence and adherence to"principled innovation".While delving into traditional and ancient teachings,he has also embraced contemporary advancements.Building upon the essence of traditional pediatric Tuina,he integrated distinctive techniques from various Tuina schools,including the Yi Zhi Chan Tuina school,rolling manipulation Tuina school,and Neigong Tuina school.He also assimilated the quintessence of historical pediatric Tuina literature,the experience of modern Shanghai-based pediatric Tuina masters,and folk techniques while incorporating his years of clinical insights.This synthesis finally led to the formulation of the academic thought of"reinforcing healthy Qi and unblocking regulation"in Shanghai-style pediatric Tuina that guides clinical practice.Specifically,he comprehensively applies techniques such as"unblocking regulation of Zang-Fu organs","unblocking regulation of the four seas","unblocking regulation of the water and fire",and"unblocking regulation of the back"to the prevention and treatment of pediatric diseases across internal medicine,external medicine,orthopedics,and otolaryngology,which has significantly enhanced clinical efficacy and expanded the applicable age range and scope of Tuina for pediatric health issues,more aligning with the characteristics of children and adolescents'health challenges and current clinical demands,and paving a new way in preserving and developing traditional pediatric Tuina.

Against the backdrop of the global acceleration of cervical cancer elimination, China has been promoting pilot programs offering free or subsidized HPV vaccination for eligible girls. In 2022, Zhejiang Province initiated a free bivalent HPV vaccination program for eligible girls, expanding from pilot areas to the whole province. Through key measures such as effective multi-sectoral collaboration, full financial support, comprehensive health education and high-quality vaccination services, the program was successfully implemented. However, challenges were encountered during the implementation of the program, including difficulties in target population definition and HPV vaccine selection, as well as significant gap between vaccination intention and behavior. This article systematically analyzes the practices and challenges faced by Zhejiang Province, and proposes corresponding strategies and suggestions based on the best practices both domestically and internationally. It aims to provide references for the implementation of similar programs in other regions or even integrating HPV vaccine into the immunization program.

Since the introduction of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, countries around the world have actively promoted large-scale vaccination with HPV vaccines to improve their coverage for target populations. This study conducts a multidimensional analysis to quantify the policies, implementation models and evaluation outcomes of the free HPV vaccination program across countries at high, upper-middle and lower-middle income levels. The results reveal distinct patterns in implementation and evaluation among these countries. The results also suggest that China can learn from successful international experiences to explore more effective vaccination strategies to increase coverage. In parallel, it is essential to develop a scientifically grounded evaluation framework and conduct systematic evaluations to effectively support the continuous implementation of the free HPV vaccination program for target populations in China. Furthermore, China may consider incorporating appropriate HPV vaccines into the National Immunization Program and dynamically adjusting vaccine types as needed to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer.
