Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) in cardiac implantable electronic lead-related tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Methods The patients with severe TR who underwent LuX-Valve TTVR in 9 Chinese medical centers from June 2020 to August 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. They were divided into a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) group and a non-CIED group based on whether they had pre-existing CIED implantation. Success of the procedure was defined as safe implantation of the LuX-Valve and complete withdrawal of the delivery system. Prognostic improvement was defined as a decrease of TR grade to≤2+ and an improvement of cardiac function by≥2 grades. Surgical success and postoperative prognosis were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 190 patients were collected, including 50 males and 140 females with a mean age of 66.2±7.8 years. There were 29 patients in the CIED group, and 161 patients in the non-CIED group. In the CIED group, 28 patients were implanted with a permanent pacemaker and 1 patient with a cardioverter-defibrillator. Preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function class, TR degree, left ventricular ejection fraction, tricuspid annular plane systolic excusion, and cardiac risk scores were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). Postoperative TR was reduced to≤2+ in all patients, and there was no statistical difference in the incidence of perivalvular leakage between the two groups (P=0.270). Postoperative CT of CIED patients showed the valve was in place, and the lead was not extruded, twisted, or deflected. The in-hospital mortality of the two groups were 10.3% and 1.9%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.047). In addition, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative improvement of cardiac function and mortality in the 1- and 2-year follow-up. Conclusion TTVR is feasible, safe, and effective in patients with CIED implantation, and the pre-existing lead has no significant effect on the clinical efficacy.

It is believed that children bronchiolitis obliterans （BO） is located at the lung and closely related to the spleen and kidney. Phlegm， stasis， block and deficiency are the main pathogenesis. This article promotes staged differentiation and treatment of BO considering the clinical manifestations and pathogenesis characteristics. The attack stage is dominated by phlegm and stasis blocking the lung， for which the method of dissolving phlegm and dispelling stasis， relieving cough and calming panting should be used； Xiaoqinglong Decoction（小青龙汤） and Sanzi Yangqin Decoction （三子养亲汤） with modifications and selfmade Modified Wuhu Decoction （五虎汤加味） are recommended for cold-phlegm blocking the lung syndrome and phlegm heat blocking the lung syndrome， respectively. In sustained stage， the upper excess and lower deficiency together with phlegm-stasis blocking the lung are the pathogenesis， for which the method of dissolving phlegm and dispelling stasis， reopening the block and supplementing deficiency is suggested， and Xiaoqinglong Decotion （小青龙汤） and Duqi pills （都气丸） with modifications can be used. In convalescent stage， the pathogenesis is lung-spleen-kidney depletion with residual pathogen. It suggested to supplement the deficiency and consolidate the root， as well as clear the residual pathogen， for which Baogen NO.1 Decoction （宝根1号方） with modifications can be used.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of modified Yinqiaosan combined with antibiotics in the treatment of acute tonsillitis in children with wind-heat invading lung syndrome. MethodA total of 96 children with acute tonsillitis of wind-heat invading the lung syndrome were randomized into control group and observation group. The control group was treated with routine antibiotics， and the observation group was treated with modified Yinqiaosan and antibiotics for 7 days. The scores of major symptoms （sore throat， erythmatous throat， dysphagia， erythmatous tonsils and suppuration） and minor symptoms （fever， cough， stool， and tongue） and the levels of inflammation- and immune-related indexes ［white blood cell （WBC）， C-reactive protein （CRP）， serum amyloid A （SAA）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interferon-γ （IFN-γ）］ were compared between two groups. ResultThe data of 92 children were statistically analyzed： 45 in the observation group and 47 cases in the control group. The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was 95.56%， as compared with the 93.62% of the control group. After treatment， the scores of major symptoms in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）， and the scores of cough， defecation， and tongue in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The levels of inflammation- and immune-related indexes after treatment in the observation group were lower than those before treatment （P<0.05）. Except IFN-γ， the levels of the inflammation- and immune-related indexes in the control group were lower than those before treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， the levels of SAA and IL-6 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionModified Yinqiaosan combined with antibiotics can significantly reduce the expression of SAA and IL-6 in the treatment of children with acute tonsillitis， thereby alleviating inflammation and clinical symptoms and improving prognosis.

Novel coronavirus Omicron variant infection can cause severe illness and even death in certain populations. Omicron variant infection may lead to systemic inflammatory response, coagulation disorder, multi-organ dysfunction and other pathophysiological changes, which are different from other Novel coronavirus variants to a certain extent, so therapeutic strategies should not be the same. The National Medical Center for Major Public Health Events invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory medicine, intensive care, pediatrics and fever clinic to develop this quick guideline based on the current best evidence and extensive clinical practices. This quick guideline aims to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of novel coronavirus Omicron infection, and to improve the disease management abilities of clinicians.

ObjectiveTo explore effect of modified Wuhutang on airway inflammation and expression of mucin （Muc） 5AC， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB）， and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 （NLRP3） in respiratory syncytial virus （RSV）-infected asthmatic mice. MethodSeventy male BALB/c mice of 6-8 weeks old were randomized into normal control （CON）， asthma （ovalbumin， OVA）， RSV infection-induced asthma （OVA+RSV）， high-， medium-， and low-dose （4.08， 2.04， 1.02 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively） modified Wuhutang， and dexamethasone （Dxms， 0.1 g·kg^-1d^-1） groups （n=10）. The model of asthma was established by sensitization and atomization inhalation with OVA. The RSV infection-induced asthma model was established by three consecutive RSV nasal infusions （1.0 × 10⁶ PFU·mL^-1， 50 μL）. Wuhutang was administrated by gavage， and Dxms by intraperitoneal injection. The CON group was given the same amount of normal saline by gavage. The mice were anesthetized with 2.5% pentobarbital sodium 24 h after the last administration， and then the lung tissue was stained by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Van Gieson （VG） for observation of airway inflammation. The immunohistochemical assay was employed to detect the expression of Muc5AC. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of phosphorylated （p）-STAT3， STAT3， p-NF-κB， NF-κB， and NLRP3. ResultCompared with the CON group， the OVA group presented airway inflammatory cell infiltration， tissue hyperemia and edema， and collagen fiber deposition. The OVA+RSV group showed severer airway inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue hyperemia and edema than the OVA group. Compared with the OVA+RSV group， modified Wuhutang alleviated the airway inflammatory cell infiltration， tissue hyperemia and edema， and collagen fiber deposition， and the high-dose group had the best performance. Compared with the CON group， the OVA group and the OVA+RSV group showed increased expression level of Muc5AC （P<0.01）. Compared with the OVA+RSV group， modified Wuhutang reduced the expression level of Muc5AC， and the reduction was significant in the high-dose group （P<0.05）. Compared with the high-dose modified Wuhutang group， Dxms lowered the expression level of Muc5AC （P<0.05）. Compared with the CON group， the OVA and OVA+RSV groups showed up-regulated protein levels of p-STAT3， p-NF-κB， and NLRP3 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the OVA+RSV group， modified Wuhutang down-regulated the protein levels of p-STAT3， p-NF-κB， and NLRP3 （P<0.01）. Compared with the high-dose modified Wuhutang group， the Dxms group showed up-regulated levels of p-STAT3， p-NF-κB proteins （P<0.01）. ConclusionModified Wuhutang can reduce airway inflammation and down-regulate the expression of Muc5AC， p-STAT3， p-NF-κB， and NLRP3 in RSV-infected asthmatic mice， which suggests that Wuhutang reduces airway inflammation in RSV-infected asthma by regulating the STAT3/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of different reconstruction images on cardiac dose evaluation by comparing the differences between 4D-CT series and special reconstruction images in evaluating the dose-volume index of cardiac structures.Methods:ECG 4D-CT series were scanned in 15 female patients with left breast cancer. The images of 0-95% 20 phases were reconstructed at an interval of 5% cardiac cycle. The maximum intensity projection (MIP), minimum intensity projection (MinIP), average intensity projection (AIP) and sum intensity projection (SIP) images were obtained by special reconstruction of 4D-CT series. Left ventricle (LV) and left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) were delineated on 4D-CT and special reconstruction series, respectively. The intensity-modulated radiation therapy plan of the left breast cancer was designed on the basis of 0% phase, and the cumulative dose (Dose-cumulate) of 20 phases was obtained by deformation registration. The doses of 0% phase were deformed and registered to MIP, MinIP, AIP and SIP images to obtain the corresponding dose distribution. The dose-volume indexes of LV and LADCA based on different CT images were compared.Results:In the evaluation of dose-volume index of LV, compared with 4D-CT series, the change rates of V 5Gy, V 30Gy, V 40Gy, D max and D mean on MIP images were 3.8%, 2.0%, 0.9%, 3.8% and 1.7%, respectively. There was significant difference in V 5 and D max between MIP and 4D-CT (both P<0.05). Compared with 4D-CT, the change rates of D max on MinIP, SIP and AIP images were 2.5%, 3.1% and 1.5%, respectively (all P<0.05). In the evaluation of dose-volume index of LADCA, only the change rate of D max on four special reconstructed images was<5%( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the dose-volume evaluation of LV, the V 30Gy, V 40Gy and D mean obtained by MIP are basically equivalent to those obtained by 4D-CT series, which can be used to substitute 4D-CT series to evaluate the dose-volume. The special reconstruction image of LADCA can not replace 4D-CT series.

Objective:To analysis the income and expenditure of HIV-positive pregnant women and the catastrophic health expenditure of their households in high AIDS endemic areas in Liangshan prefecture.Methods:From December 2018 to January 2019, a total of 250 pregnant women were recruited from 2 of 17 counties in Liangshan Prefecture, including 133 HIV-positive pregnant women and 117 HIV-negative pregnant women. The data, including basic information of pregnant women, basic information of the family, annual family income in 2017, annual family health expenditure in 2017, and maternal and child-related expenditure in 2017, were collected for analyzing the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure in the family.Results:The average annual income and average annual health expenditure of HIV-positive pregnant women households were 7 000 CNY and 2 000 CNY, while those of HIV-negative pregnant women households were 10 000 CNY and 3 000 CNY, respectively. Based on the criteria of 15%, 25% and 40%, the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure of HIV-positive pregnant households was 39.10%, 33.83% and 27.82%, with average differences of 34.84%, 31.17% and 26.65%, respectively, while that of HIV-negative pregnant women households was 38.46%, 33.33% and 23.93%, with average differences of 31.68%, 28.35% and 24.22%, respectively.Conclusion:The incidence of catastrophic health expenditure of pregnant households in high AIDS endemic areas in Liangshan prefecture is high. The incidence of HIV-positive families is slightly higher than that of HIV-negative families. We suggest that medical insurance compensation in Liangshan prefecture should be improved to reduce the impact of catastrophic health expenditure.

Objective    To summarize the clinical experience of Da Vinci robotic-assisted left upper lobectomy for treating lung cancer. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the perioperative data of 33 patients with primary lung cancer who underwent Da Vinci robotic-assisted left upper lobectomy between December 2016 and December 2018 in our hospital. Meanwhile, the perioperative data of 41 patients with lung cancer who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy during the same period by the same surgeon were studied as a control group. The resection was followed by the principle of "from back down to front up" way. Systemic lymph node dissection including No.4-9 was performed for all patients. Results    All patients received successful surgery with no case of conversion to thoracotomy and perioperative death. Comparing to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the Da Vinci robotic-assisted left upper lobectomy had longer operating time (191.21±61.77 min vs. 154.51±38.81 min, P=0.003), more cost (82 307.75±11 859.03 yuan vs. 58 966.57±5 640.07 yuan, P=0.000), shorter chest tube duration (4.58±1.77 d vs. 5.41±1.52 d, P=0.031) and postoperative hospital stay (6.48±1.82 d vs. 7.66±2.12 d, P=0.014). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding to blood loss, lymph node dissection, postoperative pain score, total chest drainage volume, chest drainage volume per day and the rate of pulmonary complications. Conclusion    The Da Vinci robotic-assisted left upper lobectomy for treating lung cancer is safe and more minimally invasive, but more expensive.
