Objective:To analyze the influence of 5E rehabilitation mode on cardiac function,exercise capacity,self-man-agement ability and quality of life(QOL)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)after percutaneous coronary inter-vention(PCI).Methods:A total of 123 patients diagnosed with CHD in our hospital from April 1,2022 to April 1,2023 were selected and divided into control group(n=61,received routine nursing mode)and observation group(n=62,5E re-habilitation nursing mode was adopted on the basis of control group)using random number table method.Both groups were continuously intervened for three months.Cardiac function,exercise capacity,self-management level and QOL were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results:After intervention,compared with control group,there were significant rise in SV[(69.66±4.86)ml vs.(75.94±5.29)ml],CI[(3.11±0.30)L·min-1·m-2 vs.(3.39±0.36)L·min-1·m-2],LVEF[(57.22±5.82)％vs.(68.54±5.31)％],MET[(4.36±0.64)vs.(5.09±0.86)],6min walking distance[(296.52±18.72)m vs.(359.33±19.75)m],scores of CSMS[(89.32±11.85)points vs.(112.31±9.63)points],CQQC[(111.56±9.27)points vs.(139.50±7.59)points]in observation group,P=0.001 all;and significant reductions in LVEDd[(52.12±4.84)mm vs.(41.28±4.74)mm],LVESd[(48.39±3.82)mm vs.(42.26±3.57)mm],BNP level[(99.63±6.31)pg/ml vs.(60.52±7.11)pg/ml],propor-tion of NYHA class Ⅲ(25.00％vs.10.00％)in observation group,P＜0.05 or＜0.01.Conclusion:The application of 5E rehabilitation nursing can significantly improve cardiac function,enhance exercise capacity,strengthen the self-man-agement behavior and improve quality of life in postoperative clinical nursing of patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention,which has high clinical application value.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of asparaginase-associated pancreatitis(AAP)in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL),and to investigate the impact of AAP on their prognosis following re-exposure to asparaginase(ASP).Methods:Clinical children data with ALL at Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology between January 2015 and June 2020 were collected to analyze the clinical features of AAP.Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for AAP.Prognostic analysis was performed using the Log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier survival curves.Results:Overall,252 children with ALL were included,among whom 23(9.1%)developed AAP.Most AAP cases(82.6%)occurred during remission induction,with a medi-an time from the last ASP to AAP of 12 d.Elevated total cholesterol(≥3.5 mmol/L)at initial diagnosis was identified as an independent risk factor.Six children(26.1%)were re-exposed to ASP,leading to recurrent pancreatitis in 3 cases.The 5-year overall survival(OS)was signific-antly lower in the AAP group(78.3%±8.6%)compared to the non-AAP group(90.3%±2.2%)(P<0.05).Similarly,children who discontinued ASP due to AAP had a 5-year OS of 77.8%±9.8%,significantly lower than the control group(90.1%±2.1%).Conclusions:AAP typically oc-curred within 12 d of the last ASP administration and was associated with poorer 5-year OS.Re-exposure to ASP posed a risk of recurrent AAP;however,completing the ASP chemotherapy regimen may be crucial for improving prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of WT1 gene in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and explore its clinical characteristics and correlation with the prognosis of ALL.Methods:The clinical data of 183 children with newly diagnosed ALL in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2015 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The expression level of WT1 gene in bone marrow samples was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The children were followed up to June 2021 with a median follow-up time of 46 months (0 to 63 months).Results:Among 183 children with ALL, the WT1 gene positive was in 130 cases (71.04%), and the expression level was 1.41% (0.26%, 6.73%); WT1 gene negative was in 53 cases (28.96%). The expression levels of WT1 gene in children with T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), non-hyperdiploid and middle/high-risk were significantly increased, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01); however, there were no statistical differences in the expression levels of WT1 gene between children with different gender, chromosome karyotype, hepatosplenomegaly and the first diagnosis white blood cell count ( P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in complete remission rate and recurrence rate after induction chemotherapy between WT1 gene positive children and WT1 gene negative children: 87.69% (114/130) vs. 86.79% (46/53) and 16.15% (21/130) vs. 18.87% (10/53), P>0.05. By the end of follow-up, 179 children were followed up, and there was no statistical difference in survival rate between WT1 gene positive children and WT1 gene negative children: 89.68% (113/126) vs. 86.79% (46/53), P>0.05. Among the children with WT1 gene positive, relapse was in 21 cases, and there was no statistical difference in the expression level of WT1 gene after complete remission or after relapse, compared with that while the first diagnosis ( P>0.05); among non-relapse children, 96 completed the detection, the expression level of WT1 gene after complete remission was significantly lower than the first diagnosis: 0.17% (0.04%, 0.49%) vs. 2.01% (0.41%, 8.82%), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed there was no statistical difference in survival time between WT1 gene positive children and WT1 gene negative children ( P>0.05). According to the median expression level of WT1 gene (1.41%), the children with WT1 gene positive were divided into high expression (66 cases) and low expression (64 cases), there was no statistical difference in survival time between high expression children and low expression children ( P>0.05). Conclusions:WT1 gene is commonly expressed in children with ALL and is associated with some clinical features and prognosis of the children. Decreased WT1 gene expression may result in better prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To report on a case with severe hemophilia A (HA) due to a large duplication of F8 gene. METHODS: Inversion detection, Sanger sequencing, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were used to detect the mutation in the proband and his mother. RESULTS: The patient, a 7-year-old boy, was diagnosed with severe HA at 8 months. No inhibitor was developed over 150 exposure days. Intronic inversion detection and Sanger sequencing have failed to identify pathogenic variants, while MLPA revealed a large duplication [Ex 1_22 dup (2 copies)] in the proband, for which his mother was a carrier [Ex 1_22 dup (3 copies)]. Large duplications of the F8 gene have so far been found in 24 HA patients, all of whom had a severe phenotype, only one had a history of inhibitors. CONCLUSION Large duplications of F8 gene are associated with severe HA. The diagnostic rate for HA may be increased by MLPA.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of delayed methotrexate (MTX) elimination after high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) treatment in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the effects of delayed MTX elimination and HD-MTX reduction on the prognosis of children with ALL.Methods:The clinical data of 242 children with ALL diagnosed and treated in Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2015 to June 2020 in accordance with the Chinese Children's Cancer Group study ALL 2015 (CCCG-ALL 2015) were retrospectively analyzed. Low risk and intermediate/high risk children respectively received 3 g/m 2 and 5 g/m 2 HD-MTX for 4 times, and the serum MTX concentration was monitored. The serum MTX concentration > 1 μmol/L at 44 h of administration was considered as the delayed elimination, which was divided into mild (> 1 μmol/L and ≤ 5 μmol/L), moderate (> 5 μmol/L and ≤ 10 μmol/L) and severe (> 10 μmol/L) delayed elimination. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of delayed MTX elimination, and univariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the related factors of ALL relapse. Results:The 242 children with ALL completed 962 times of HD-MTX chemotherapy. The median serum MTX concentration [ M ( Q1, Q3)] at 44 h of administration was 0.45 μmol/L (0.33 μmol/L, 0.72 μmol/L). The total incidence of delayed MTX elimination was 17.7% (170/962). The incidence of mild, moderate and severe delayed elimination was 13.8% (133/962), 2.6% (25/962) and 1.2% (12/962), respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 7 years old ( OR = 1.68, 95% CI 1.17-2.41, P = 0.005), MTX dose >3 g/m 2 at each course ( OR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.52-3.03, P < 0.001) and the first course of HD-MTX chemotherapy ( OR = 2.05, 95% CI 1.43-2.93, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for delayed MTX elimination. The median follow-up time was 50 months (34 months, 68 months), 12.8% (31/242) of the children relapsed, and the median relapse time was 30 months (30 months, 39 months). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the relapse rates among children with different gender, immunophenotype, risk, the number of delayed MTX elimination, and the completion of HD-MTX chemotherapy (the ratio of MTX average dose to initial planned dose) (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:The independent risk factors of delayed elimination of MTX in children with ALL are age ≥ 7 years old, MTX dose > 3 g/m 2 at each course and the first course of HD-MTX chemotherapy. Delayed elimination of MTX and reduction of HD-MTX have no significant effect on ALL relapse.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) in children.Methods:The clinical data of 14 children with AMKL in Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2012 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:Among 14 children with AMKL, there were 5 males and 9 females, and the median age of onset was 19 months (0.1-109 months); 1 case was Down syndrome-related AMKL, and 13 cases were non-Down syndrome-related AMKL. Most of the children presented with fever, anemia or bleeding symptoms, and a few patients presented with joint pain as the primary symptom. Some children were accompanied by extramedullary infiltration such as hepatomegaly, splenomegaly or lymphadenovarix. Initial investigations of 14 children showed that the median white blood count, hemoglobin concentration and platelet count were 10.67×10 9/L [(6.56-83.62)×10 9/L], 84 g/L (55-121 g/L), 37×10 9/L [(8-1443) ×10 9/L], respectively, and the median proportion of naive cells in peripheral blood was 0.09 (0.00-0.79). Bone marrow smear showed that the primitive megakaryocytes were characterized by various size and irregular form, a few of which had cytoplasmic vacuoles, and the median proportion of bone marrow primitive megakaryocytes was 0.636 (0.332-0.976); the nuclei were round or irregular, with multiple nucleoli or hidden nucleoli. RAS staining was partially positive, and immunohistochemical assay showed that POX, AS-DNCE and α-NBE were negative. Detection of megakaryocyte-associated antigens by flow cytometry showed 12 children expressed CD41a or CD61, and 10 children expressed CD42b. Among 3 children who completed chemotherapy, 1 case of Down syndrome-related AMKL and 1 case of non-Down syndrome-related AMKL were event-free survival, and 1 case of non-Down syndrome-related AMKL died after bone marrow relapse. Conclusions:The clinical manifestations and biological characteristics of children with AMKL are complicated and the prognosis is poor. Some children can achieve disease-free survival through chemotherapy alone.

BACKGROUND: It has been a global trend that increasing complications related to pelvic floor surgeries have been reported over time. The current study aimed to outline the development of Chinese pelvic floor surgeries related to pelvic organ prolapse (POP) over the past 14 years and investigate the potential influence of enhanced monitoring conducted by the Chinese Association of Urogynecology since 2011. METHODS: A total of 44,594 women with POP who underwent pelvic floor surgeries between October 1, 2004 and September 30, 2018 were included from 22 tertiary academic medical centers. The data were reported voluntarily and obtained from a database. We compared the proportion of each procedure in the 7 years before and 7 years after September 30, 2011. The data were analyzed by performing Z test (one-sided). RESULTS: The number of different procedures during October 1, 2011-September 30, 2018 was more than twice that during October 1, 2004-September 30, 2011. Regarding pelvic floor surgeries related to POP, the rate of synthetic mesh procedures increased from 38.1% (5298/13,906) during October 1, 2004-September 30, 2011 to 46.0% (14,107/30,688) during October 1, 2011-September 30, 2018, whereas the rate of non-mesh procedures decreased from 61.9% (8608/13,906) to 54.0% (16,581/30,688) (Z = 15.53, P < 0.001). Regarding synthetic mesh surgeries related to POP, the rates of transvaginal placement of surgical mesh (TVM) procedures decreased from 94.1% (4983/5298) to 82.2% (11,603/14,107) (Z = 20.79, P < 0.001), but the rate of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) procedures increased from 5.9% (315/5298) to 17.8% (2504/14,107). CONCLUSIONS: The rate of synthetic mesh procedures increased while that of non-mesh procedures decreased significantly. The rate of TVM procedures decreased while the rate of LSC procedures increased significantly. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03620565, https://register.clinicaltrials.gov.

BACKGROUND: Shenyankangfu Tablet (SYKFT) is a Chinese patent medicine that has been used widely to decrease proteinuria and the progression of chronic kidney disease. OBJECTIVE: This trial compared the efficacy and safety of SYKFT, for the control of proteinuria in primary glomerulonephritis patients, against the standard drug, losartan potassium. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION: This was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Primary glomerulonephritis patients, aged 18-70 years, with blood pressure ≤ 140/90 mmHg, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45 mL/min per 1.73 m MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was change in the 24-hour proteinuria level, after 48 weeks of treatment. RESULTS: A total of 735 participants were enrolled. The percent decline of urine protein quantification in the SYKFT group after 48 weeks was 8.78% ± 2.56% (P = 0.006) more than that in the losartan 50 mg group, which was 0.51% ± 2.54% (P = 1.000) less than that in the losartan 100 mg group. Compared with the losartan potassium 50 mg group, the SYKFT plus losartan potassium 50 mg group had a 13.39% ± 2.49% (P < 0.001) greater reduction in urine protein level. Compared with the losartan potassium 100 mg group, the SYKFT plus losartan potassium 100 mg group had a 9.77% ± 2.52% (P = 0.001) greater reduction in urine protein. With a superiority threshold of 15%, neither was statistically significant. eGFR, serum creatinine and serum albumin from the baseline did not change statistically significant. The average change in TCM syndrome score between the patients who took SYKFT (-3.00 [-6.00, -2.00]) and who did not take SYKFT (-2.00 [-5.00, 0]) was statistically significant (P = 0.003). No obvious adverse reactions were observed in any group. CONCLUSION: SYKFT decreased the proteinuria and improved the TCM syndrome scores of primary glomerulonephritis patients, with no change in the rate of decrease in the eGFR. SYKFT plus losartan potassium therapy decreased proteinuria more than losartan potassium therapy alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02063100 on ClinicalTrials.gov.
