Objective:To investigate the effect of infusing different doses of graft cells on viral infections and survival after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods:Clinical data of 99 patients with hematological diseases who underwent allo-HSCT in Shanxi Bethune Hospital were retrospectively analysed.The proportion of mononuclear cells(MNC)was counted microscopically,the proportions and absolute counts of CD34+cells and lymphocyte subsets(including CD3+T,CD4+T,CD8+T,CD4+CD8+T,B,and NK cells)were detected by flow cytometry,and the infusion dose of each cell types was calculated.The patients were divided into high-dose group and low-dose group based on the median value of the infused cell dose.The effects of different doses of various graft cells on post-transplant viral infections(CMV,EBV,BKV)and survival were analyzed.Results:The low-dose MNC(＜7.97 × 108/kg)and high-dose CD4+CD8+T cell(≥3.02 × 106/kg)groups had a higher Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)infection rate(P=0.031;P=0.020).The high-dose CD34+cell group and low-dose CD3+T,CD8+T and natural killer(NK)cell groups showed a trend toward higher EBV infection rates,but the differences were not statitsically significant(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the rates of EBV infection between the high-dose and low-dose groups of CD4+T and B cells(P＞0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that the doses of MNC and CD4+CD8+T cells in the graft were independent factors influencing EBV infection(P=0.023;P=0.016).The doses of cells in the graft showed no significant impact on CMV and BKV infection,or patient survival(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Infusing a lower dose of MNC and a higher dose of CD4+CD8+T cells increases the risk of EBV infection,but does not affect the survival outcome.

Objective::There is limited evidence regarding the choice of P2Y 12 receptor inhibitors as a component of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with left main (LM) disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes of ticagrelor- vs. clopidogrel-based dual antiplatelet therapy strategy in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing LM PCI. Methods::This is a post-hoc analysis from a prospective, single-center, real-world PCI registry. A total of 1,163 patients discharged post-ACS who underwent LM PCI and received ticagrelor or clopidogrel between March 2016 and March 2019 were included in the study. The primary endpoint was ischemic events at 12 months, including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 2, 3, and 5, and types 3 and 5 bleeding. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for bias due to confounders between the 2 groups.Results::The ticagrelor and clopidogrel groups comprised 529 (45.49%) and 634 (54.51%) patients, respectively. During the follow-up period, the rate of ischemic events was significantly lower with ticagrelor than with clopidogrel before (1.32% (7/529) vs. 3.63% (23/634), P = 0.013,6) and after propensity score matching (1.41% (6/425) vs. 4.00% (17/425), P = 0.020,1). The rates of all-cause death, Bleeding Academic Research Consortium-defined type 2, 3, and 5 bleeding, and type 3 and 5 bleeding were similar between the ticagrelor group and clopidogrel group before or after propensity score matching adjustment (all P > 0.05). Conclusion::Among patients with ACS undergoing LM PCI, ticagrelor use was associated with ischemic events benefit without excessive risk of bleeding at 12 months compared with clopidogrel.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of interventricular septal thickness(IVST),the ratio of mitral ear-ly diastolic peak flow velocity to late diastolic peak flow velocity(E/A)combined with aortic valve flow velocity(AV)for hypertensive heart disease(HHD)and its association with blood pressure grade.Methods:A total of 202 patients with hy-pertension suspected of HHD admitted to Qinhuangdao Hospital of Dongfang Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medi-cine between May 2020 and May 2023 were enrolled and divided into HHD group(n=102)and non-HHD group(n=100)according to color Doppler energy imaging and blood pressure diagnosis.Blood pressure,IVST,E/A and AV were measured in two groups.The predictive value of IVST,E/A and AV for HHD were evaluated by receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curve.According to hypertension grading,patients in HHD group was divided into grade 1～2 group(n=59)and grade 3 group(n=41).The association of IVST,E/A,AV with blood pressure grade in HHD patients were ana-lyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results:Compared with patients in non-HHD group,those in HHD group had significant higher IVST,and significant lower E/A and AV(P＜0.001 all);Compared with patients in grade 1～2 group,those in grade 3 group had significant higher IVST,and significant lower E/A and AV(P＜0.001 all).ROC curve showed that the AUC of IVST,E/A and AV alone and their combination in HHD diagnosis was 0.798(95％CI 0.736～0.851),0.682(95％CI 0.613～0.746),0.810(95％CI 0.748～0.862)and 0.927(95％CI 0.881～0.959)respectively,and the diagnostic value of combined detection was significantly higher than those of single detections(Z=4.431,5.669,3.948,P=0.001 all).Spearman correlation analysis showed that E/A and AV were significant negatively correlated with blood pressure grade(r=-0.725,-0.781),while I VST was significant positively correlated with blood pressure grade(r=0.714),and combined detection possessed a stronger correlation with it in HHD patients(r=0.875,P＜0.001 all).Con-clusion:The combined detection of I VST,E/A and AV demonstrates a good predictive value for HHD and exhibits a sig-nificant correlation with blood pressure grade in HHD patients.

Objective:To explore the structural relationship between WMSDs in the upper limbs and various risk factors in the occupational population in China, based on a large sample epidemiological survey and structural equation analysis, and to establish a structural equation model, so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of such diseases.Methods:The Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire was used to conduct a nationwide survey on the prevalence of WMSDs in the upper extremity. Six factors related to WMSDs in the upper extremity were extracted by the classification standard of adverse ergonomic factors and their source and confirmatory factor analysis, including work organization, work type, upper extremity work posture, individual factors, upper extremity fatigue and upper extremity WMSDs. The structural equation analysis was carried out and the structural equation model was established.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in the upper limbs was 24.44% and 43.76%, respectively. The adjusted structural equation model fitting indicators were generally up to the standard (GFI=1.000, AGFI=1.000, RMSEA=0.043, NFI=0.808, TLI=0.784) . The four exogenous latent variables of work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and individual factors were correlated. There was a strong positive correlation between job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.865) , a moderate positive correlation between work organization and job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.570, 0.490) , and a weak negative correlation between individual factors and the other three exogenous latent variables. Upper limb work posture and individual factors had direct effects on upper limb WMSDs, and the effect coefficients were 0.10 and 0.06, respectively. Upper limb fatigue played a mediating role between work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and upper limb WMSDs. The effect coefficient was 0.46, and the composition ratios of indirect effects were 100.0%, 100.0%, and 38.3%, respectively. The direct path effect of upper limb work posture, individual factors and upper limb WMSDs was weaker than the mediating path through upper limb fatigue. Conclusion:When carrying out the prevention and control of upper limbWMSDs, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pathogenesis path of upper limb muscle fatigue and upper limb WMSDs caused by work organization, work type, and upper limb work posture, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the prevention and control level of such diseases.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes and costs in arthroscopic repair of small and medium-sized supraspinatu tendon tears between double-pulley suture-bridge (DPSB) and traditional suture bridge (SB).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted at Department of Joint Surgery, The Second Hospital Affiliated to Hengyang Medical School to analyze the data of 26 patients with small and medium-sized supraspinatus tendon tears who had been treated by SB repair from May 2018 to December 2020 (SB group) and those of 35 patients with small and medium-sized supraspinatus tendon tears who had been treated by DPSB repair from January 2021 to December 2022 (DPSB group). There were 61 patients in the 2 groups, including 44 males and 17 females, with an age of (59.1±7.5) years. The left shoulder was affected in 26 patients and the right shoulder in 35 patients. The tear size was small in 25 cases and medium in 36 ones. The total number of anchors used, total anchoring costs, and surgical time were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score and shoulder range of motion were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the 2 groups before surgery and at the last follow-up. Comparisons were made within and between the 2 groups. Tendon integrity was assessed using MRI or ultrasound at 3, 6, 12 months or at the last follow-up.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). DPSB and SB groups were followed up for (28.1±3.5) and (27.1±1.8) months, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between DPSB group and SB group in surgical time or total number of anchors ( P>0.05). The total costs of anchoring in DPSB group [(6,028.6±173.4) yuan] were significantly lower than those in SB group [(13,257.1±554.2) yuan] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the anterior flexion, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation of the shoulder, as well as VAS pain score, ASES score and UCLA score, were significantly better in both DPSB group and SB group than their preoperative values ( P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences between DPSB group and SB group ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference either in tendon retear between DPSB group (2 cases) and SB group (1 case) ( P>0.05). No such complication as wound infection or nerve damage was found in either group. Conclusions:In arthroscopic repair of small and medium-sized supraspinatu tendon tears, both DPSB and SB techniques can achieve satisfactory and comparable clinical outcomes. However, DPSB leads to lower total costs of anchoring.
