Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab combined with glucocorticoid-based therapy in patients with relapsed immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP).Methods:This study analyzed the efficacy and adverse reactions of four patients with relapsed iTTP who were treated with a combination of obinutuzumab and glucocorticoids to assess the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.Results:All four patients had a history of multiple relapses and had previously undergone treatment with rituximab and bortezomib. Three patients exhibited additional autoantibodies. Following the combined therapy, all patients achieved clinical remission, with ADAMTS13 activity returning to normal levels and inhibitors testing negative. During a median follow-up period of 11 months (range: 3–17 months), all patients maintained sustained remission. No severe adverse events were reported during treatment or follow-up.Conclusion:The combination of obinutuzumab and glucocorticoid-based therapy is effective and safe for treating relapsed iTTP.

Objective:To investigate the impact and clinical value of preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP)placement on the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation(POAF)in elderly high-risk patients with coronary artery disease undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, selecting 128 elderly(age≥60 years)patients with coronary artery disease who underwent isolated off-pump CABG and met high-risk criteria(≥2 high-risk factors)at Beijing Tongren Hospital.According to the occurrence of POAF, patients were divided into the POAF group(38 cases)and the non-POAF group(90 cases). Preoperative baseline data, preoperative IABP usage, intraoperative and postoperative indicators were collected and compared between the two groups.Univariate analysis was used to screen for differential variables, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors for POAF, focusing on the role and impact of preoperative IABP placement on POAF occurrence.Results:Among the 128 patients included, the incidence of POAF in patients with preoperative IABP placement was lower than that in patients without preoperative IABP placement[12.12%(4/33) vs.35.79%(34/95), χ2=6.512, P=0.011]; the preoperative IABP usage rate in the POAF group was significantly lower than that in the non-POAF group[10.53%(4/38) vs.32.22%(29/90), χ2=5.488, P=0.019]; the proportion of patients with preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)<40% in the POAF group was significantly higher than that in the non-POAF group[23.68%(9/38) vs.10.00%(9/90), χ2=4.140, P=0.042]; and the preoperative creatinine level in the POAF group was also significantly higher than that in the non-POAF group[(90.62±29.45)μmol/L vs.(81.31±20.18)μmol/L, t=2.066, P=0.041]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative LVEF<40% was an independent risk factor for POAF occurrence( OR=11.862, 95% CI: 1.083-129.875, P=0.043), while preoperative IABP placement was an independent protective factor for POAF occurrence( OR=0.095, 95% CI: 0.016~0.583, P=0.011). The comparison of intraoperative and postoperative indicators between the two groups showed that multiple indicators in the POAF group were significantly worse than those in the non-POAF group.In terms of intraoperative indicators, the mean graft blood flow(mGF)of the graft vessels in the POAF group was lower[(18.25±8.84)ml/min vs.(21.24±7.13)ml/min, t=2.015, P=0.046], while the pulsatility index(PI)was higher(2.64±1.36 vs.2.18±1.07, t=2.045, P=0.043). In terms of postoperative laboratory indicators, the level of cardiac troponin I(cTnI)on the first postoperative day in the POAF group[(15.69±11.32)μg/L vs.(11.46±10.07)μg/L, t=2.092, P=0.038], the highest postoperative creatinine level[(128.23±74.29)μmol/L vs.(96.18±48.32)μmol/L, t=2.897, P=0.004], and the highest blood lactic acid level within 24 hours[(1.78±0.53)mmol/L vs.(1.54±0.62)mmol/L, t=2.085, P=0.039]were all significantly higher.In terms of postoperative recovery indicators, the duration of vasoactive drug use[(46.41±32.08)h vs.(36.21±22.39)h, t=2.058, P=0.042], mechanical ventilation time[(16.72±11.64)h vs.(12.19±9.68)h, t=2.275, P=0.025], and intensive care unit(ICU)stay time[(73.48±60.20)h vs.(54.89±39.29)h, t=2.070, P=0.040]in the POAF group were all significantly longer.The LVEF before discharge in the POAF group was also significantly lower than that in the non-POAF group[(43.08±16.24)% vs.(48.49±13.08)%, t=1.986, P=0.049]. Conclusions:Preoperative LVEF<40% is an independent risk factor for POAF occurrence after off-pump CABG in elderly high-risk patients with coronary artery disease, and preoperative prophylactic IABP placement can significantly reduce the occurrence of POAF in this population.

Objective To systematically evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of McKeown and Sweet methods in the treatment of esophageal cancer. Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang, VIP, CNKI and Chinese Biomedical Literature database were searched for literature on the short-term efficacy and safety of McKeown and Sweet methods in the treatment of esophageal cancer published from the establishment to May 2023. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of researches, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4. Results A total of 9 articles were included, involving 3687 patients including 1019 in the McKeown group and 2668 in the Sweet group. NOS score was 8-9 points. There were no statistical differences in the age, sex or American Joint Committee on Cancer stage between the two groups (P>0.05). Patients in the McKeown group had longer operative time and hospital stay, more intraoperative blood loss, and higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scores than those in the Sweet group (P<0.05). However, the McKeown operation could remove more lymph nodes (P=0.001). In terms of safety, the incidences of pulmonary complications [OR=2.20, 95%CI (1.40, 3.46), P=0.001] and postoperative anastomotic leakage [OR=2.06, 95%CI (1.45, 2.92), P=0.001] were higher in the McKeown group than those in the Sweet group. In addition, there were no statistical differences between the two groups in the Karnofsky score, cardiac complications, vocal cord injury or paralysis, chylous leakage, or gastric emptying (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with McKeown, Sweet method has advantages in operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay, and has lower incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and anastomotic leakage. However, McKeown has more lymph node dissection.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)mainly causes sow abor-tion,stillbirth,mummified fetus and respiratory symptoms in piglets.Since first reported in China in 1996,the virus complexity has increased significantly in more than 20 years of genetic evolution,bringing huge economic losses to the pig industry.In recent years,with the emergence of various PRRSV recombinant virus strains,preventing and controlling this epidemic became increasingly difficult.The purpose of this article is to comprehensively review the genome structure and func-tion of PRRSV,RNA virus recombination mechanism,main types of recombination,and the epi-demic status and recombination for the dominant epidemic PRRSV strains,in order to provide clues for in-depth research on gene recombination of PRRSV,thus providing the theoretical sup-port for formulating scientific prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To determine the actual metastasis rate of paracolic lymph nodes (PCN) more than 10 cm proximal to rectal tumors and explore the significance of PCN dissection in the prognosis of patients with rectal cancer. ?Methods:This was a prospective observational cohort study. The clinical data of 457 consecutive patients with rectal cancer who underwent radical surgery at the Colorectal Tumor Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University from January 2015 to May 2022 were included. Inclusion criteria: (1) Pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma (anal margin ≤ 12 cm); (2) R0 resection was performed with a proximal margin ≥ 10 cm (measured on the in vivo specimen during surgery after intestinal mobilization); (3) For stage IV patients, only those with resectable metastatic lesions by R0 were included; (4) Patients who completed the full course of neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) must meet the surgical window of 8-12 weeks after radiotherapy. Exclusion criteria: tumors located more than 15 cm from the anal margin, synchronous multiple primary colorectal cancers, positive tumor margins, preoperative imaging suggesting lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM), presence of Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis, emergency surgery, recurrence after rectal cancer surgery, T4b tumors requiring combined organ resection, previous radiotherapy and chemotherapy for non-rectal cancer, and those with cardiac, pulmonary, renal and other organ dysfunction that could not tolerate surgery. After standard total mesorectal excision (TME), the proximal intestinal tube was transected at a level more than 10 cm above the lesion, and then intestinal anastomosis or enterostomy was completed. The distance from the tumor edge was marked and measured in vivo during the operation, and lymph nodes were harvested from the fresh specimen. Patients with PCN metastasis beyond 10 cm proximal to the tumor were classified into the positive lymph node group (pPCN group), while those without PCN metastasis beyond 10 cm proximal to the tumor were classified into the negative lymph node group (nPCN group). The differences in clinicopathological characteristics, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between the two groups were compared, and risk factor analysis and survival analysis of pPCN were performed.Results:There were 16 cases (3.5%) in the pPCN group, 15 cases (3.3%) had central lymph node metastasis; the nPCN group included 441 cases. When comparing the baseline characteristics between the pPCN group and the nPCN group, there was no statistically significant difference in other aspects except that the cN stage was more advanced in the pPCN group ( P=0.006) (all P>0.05). The number of positive mesenteric lymph nodes in the pPCN group was higher than that in the nPCN group ( P<0.001), and the proportion of patients with a total number of harvested lymph nodes ≥12 and the number of lymph nodes with a short diameter >5 mm were both higher (all P<0.05). The proportion of patients with positive lymph nodes within 10 cm and the number of positive lymph nodes within 10 cm were also higher in the pPCN group (both P<0.001). Similar to the clinical TNM staging, the proportions of patients with pT3 and N2 stages, as well as the incidence of poorly differentiated tumors (G3, G4) were higher in the pPCN group ( P<0.001). The results of multivariate analysis showed that among the preoperative pathological characteristic variables, the presence of positive lymph nodes within 10 cm (OR=14.869, 95%CI: 2.993-73.858, P=0.001) and low tumor differentiation grade (OR=7.189, 95%CI: 2.091- 24.714, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for pPCN. The median follow-up time of the patients in this group was 63 (0-63) months. No local recurrence occurred in the pPCN group, and the 5-year OS was 50.0%, which was significantly lower than 78.0% in the nPCN group (HR=2.496, 95%CI: 1.263-4.930, P=0.008). The 3-year DFS was 43.8%, also significantly lower than 77.7% in the nPCN group (HR=2.950, 95%CI:1.488-5.846, P=0.002). Multivariate Cox prognostic analysis suggested that age ≥65 years (HR=2.041, 95%CI: 1.375-3.031, P<0.001), female (HR=1.838, 95%CI: 1.171-2.884, P=0.008), tumor length ≥3 cm (HR=1.747, 95%CI: 1.076-2.834, P=0.024), more advanced cT stage (HR=2.865, 95%CI: 1.234-6.653, P=0.014), and cM1 (HR=4.368, 95%CI: 2.480-7.694, P<0.001) were independent risk factors affecting OS. No neoadjuvant therapy (HR=0.636, 95%CI: 0.413-0.980, P=0.040) and cM1 (HR=5.556, 95%CI: 3.335-9.256, P<0.001) were independent risk factors affecting DFS. pPCN showed a tendency to be an independent risk factor for DFS (HR=1.942, 95%CI: 0.966-3.906, P=0.063). Conclusion:The incidence of pPCN is higher than expected, and the prognosis of patients is poor. Patients with high-risk factors may benefit from extended proximal intestinal resection (>10 cm) to avoid residual positive PCN, thereby reducing local recurrence.

The results of multivariate analysis showed that among the preoperative pathological characteristic variables, the presence of positive lymph nodes within 10 cm (OR=14.869, 95%CI: 2.993-73.858, P=0.001) and low tumor differentiation grade (OR=7.189, 95%CI: 2.091- 24.714, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for pPCN. The median follow-up time of the patients in this group was 63 (0-63) months. No local recurrence occurred in the pPCN group, and the 5-year OS was 50.0%, which was significantly lower than 78.0% in the nPCN group (HR=2.496, 95%CI: 1.263-4.930, P=0.008).

No neoadjuvant therapy (HR=0.636, 95%CI: 0.413-0.980, P=0.040) and cM1 (HR=5.556, 95%CI: 3.335-9.256, P<0.001) were independent risk factors affecting DFS. pPCN showed a tendency to be an independent risk factor for DFS (HR=1.942, 95%CI: 0.966-3.906, P=0.063). Conclusion:The incidence of pPCN is higher than expected, and the prognosis of patients is poor.

Objective:To investigate the impact and clinical value of preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP)placement on the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation(POAF)in elderly high-risk patients with coronary artery disease undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, selecting 128 elderly(age≥60 years)patients with coronary artery disease who underwent isolated off-pump CABG and met high-risk criteria(≥2 high-risk factors)at Beijing Tongren Hospital.According to the occurrence of POAF, patients were divided into the POAF group(38 cases)and the non-POAF group(90 cases). Preoperative baseline data, preoperative IABP usage, intraoperative and postoperative indicators were collected and compared between the two groups.Univariate analysis was used to screen for differential variables, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors for POAF, focusing on the role and impact of preoperative IABP placement on POAF occurrence.Results:Among the 128 patients included, the incidence of POAF in patients with preoperative IABP placement was lower than that in patients without preoperative IABP placement[12.12%(4/33) vs.35.79%(34/95), χ2=6.512, P=0.011]; the preoperative IABP usage rate in the POAF group was significantly lower than that in the non-POAF group[10.53%(4/38) vs.32.22%(29/90), χ2=5.488, P=0.019]; the proportion of patients with preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)<40% in the POAF group was significantly higher than that in the non-POAF group[23.68%(9/38) vs.10.00%(9/90), χ2=4.140, P=0.042]; and the preoperative creatinine level in the POAF group was also significantly higher than that in the non-POAF group[(90.62±29.45)μmol/L vs.(81.31±20.18)μmol/L, t=2.066, P=0.041]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative LVEF<40% was an independent risk factor for POAF occurrence( OR=11.862, 95% CI: 1.083-129.875, P=0.043), while preoperative IABP placement was an independent protective factor for POAF occurrence( OR=0.095, 95% CI: 0.016~0.583, P=0.011). The comparison of intraoperative and postoperative indicators between the two groups showed that multiple indicators in the POAF group were significantly worse than those in the non-POAF group.In terms of intraoperative indicators, the mean graft blood flow(mGF)of the graft vessels in the POAF group was lower[(18.25±8.84)ml/min vs.(21.24±7.13)ml/min, t=2.015, P=0.046], while the pulsatility index(PI)was higher(2.64±1.36 vs.2.18±1.07, t=2.045, P=0.043). In terms of postoperative laboratory indicators, the level of cardiac troponin I(cTnI)on the first postoperative day in the POAF group[(15.69±11.32)μg/L vs.(11.46±10.07)μg/L, t=2.092, P=0.038], the highest postoperative creatinine level[(128.23±74.29)μmol/L vs.(96.18±48.32)μmol/L, t=2.897, P=0.004], and the highest blood lactic acid level within 24 hours[(1.78±0.53)mmol/L vs.(1.54±0.62)mmol/L, t=2.085, P=0.039]were all significantly higher.In terms of postoperative recovery indicators, the duration of vasoactive drug use[(46.41±32.08)h vs.(36.21±22.39)h, t=2.058, P=0.042], mechanical ventilation time[(16.72±11.64)h vs.(12.19±9.68)h, t=2.275, P=0.025], and intensive care unit(ICU)stay time[(73.48±60.20)h vs.(54.89±39.29)h, t=2.070, P=0.040]in the POAF group were all significantly longer.The LVEF before discharge in the POAF group was also significantly lower than that in the non-POAF group[(43.08±16.24)% vs.(48.49±13.08)%, t=1.986, P=0.049]. Conclusions:Preoperative LVEF<40% is an independent risk factor for POAF occurrence after off-pump CABG in elderly high-risk patients with coronary artery disease, and preoperative prophylactic IABP placement can significantly reduce the occurrence of POAF in this population.

Three patients exhibited additional autoantibodies. Following the combined therapy, all patients achieved clinical remission, with ADAMTS13 activity returning to normal levels and inhibitors testing negative. During a median follow-up period of 11 months (range: 3–17 months), all patients maintained sustained remission. No severe adverse events were reported during treatment or follow-up.Conclusion:The combination of obinutuzumab and glucocorticoid-based therapy is effective and safe for treating relapsed iTTP.

Objective:To investigate the interactive effect of mismatch repair (MMR) protein status and adverse clinicopathological features on prognosis of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ colon cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 650 patients with colon cancer of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ who were admitted to 7 hospitals in China from January 2016 to December 2017 were collected. There were 963 males and 687 females, aged 62(53,71)years. Patients were classified as 230 cases of MMR deficiency (dMMR) and 1 420 cases of MMR proficiency (pMMR) based on their MMR protein status. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between patients of different MMR protein status; (2) analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of dMMR; (3) analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of pMMR; (4) interaction analysis of MMR and adverse clinicopathological features on survival outcomes. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The random forest interpolation method was used for missing values in data interpolation. Univariate analysis was conducted using the COX proportional risk regression model, and multivariate analysis was conducted using the COX stepwise regression with forward method. The coefficient of multiplication interaction effect was obtained using the interaction term coefficient of COX proportional risk regression model. Evaluation of additive interaction effects was conducted using the relative excess risk due to interaction ( RERI). Results:(1) Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between patients of different MMR protein status. There were significant differences in age, T staging, the number of lymph node harvest, the number of lymph node harvest <12, high grade tumor between patients of dMMR and pMMR ( P<0.05). (2) Analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of dMMR. Results of multivariate analysis showed that T staging, N staging, the number of lymph node harvest <12 were independent factors affecting the disease-free survival (DFS) of colon cancer patients of dMMR ( hazard ratio=3.548, 2.589, 6.702, 95% confidence interval as 1.460-8.620, 1.064-6.301, 1.886-23.813, P<0.05). Age and N staging were independent factors affecting the overall survival (OS) of colon cancer patients of dMMR ( hazard ratio=1.073, 10.684, 95% confidence interval as 1.021-1.126, 2.311-49.404, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of pMMR. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, T staging, N staging, vascular tumor thrombus were independent factors affecting the DFS of colon cancer patients of pMMR ( hazard ratio=1.018, 2.214, 2.598, 1.549, 95% confidence interval as 1.006-1.030, 1.618-3.030, 1.921-3.513, 1.118-2.147, P<0.05). Age, T staging, N staging, high grade tumor were independent factors affecting the OS of colon cancer patients of pMMR ( hazard ratio=1.036, 2.080, 2.591, 1.615, 95% confidence interval as 1.020-1.052, 1.407-3.075, 1.791-3.748, 1.114-2.341, P<0.05). (4) Interaction analysis of MMR and adverse clinicopathological features on survival outcomes. Results of interaction analysis showed that the multiplication interaction effect between the number of lymph node harvest <12 and MMR protein status was significant on DFS of colon cancer patients ( hazard ratio=3.923, 95% confidence interval as 1.057-14.555, P<0.05). The additive interaction effects between age and MMR protein status, between high grade tumor and MMR protein status were significant on OS of colon cancer patients ( RERI=-0.033, -1.304, 95% confidence interval as -0.049 to -0.018, -2.462 to -0.146). Conclusions:There is an interaction between the MMR protein status and the adverse clinicopathological features (the number of lymph node harvest <12, high grade tumor) on prognosis of colon cancer patients of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ. In patients of dMMR, the number of lymph node harvest <12 has a stronger predictive effect on poor prognosis. In patients of pMMR, the high grade tumor has a stronger predictive effect on poor prognosis.
