OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety, efficacy and economics of dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and provide an evidence-based basis for clinical treatment decisions. METHODS PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, SinoMed and official websites of domestic and foreign health technology assessment (HTA) organizations were systematically searched. HTA reports, systematic evaluations/meta-analyses, and pharmacoeconomic studies of dapagliflozin in the treatment of T2DM combined with CVD were searched. After data extraction and quality assessment, the results of the included studies were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS A total of 13 papers were included, of which 10 were systematic evaluations/meta-analyses and 3 were pharmacoeconomic studies. In terms of efficacy, dapagliflozin significantly reduced patients’ glycosylated hemoglobin, body weight, body mass index and blood pressure levels compared with placebo, without increasing the risk of all-cause mortality; in terms of safety, dapagliflozin did not increase the risk of overall adverse events, major adverse cardiovascular events, cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, bone fracture and renal hypoplasia; in terms of economics, the UK and Chinese studies found an economic advantage for dapagliflozin, the Thai study did not. CONCLUSIONS Dagliflozin has better efficacy and safety in the treatment of T2DM combined with CVD, and its economic findings are still controversial in different countries, with economic advantages in the context of current Chinese healthcare policies and drug prices.

An improved U-shaped multi-lesion segmentation model,namely dense dilated attention pyramid UNet(DDAPNet),is proposed to overcome the difficulty in learning multi-scale features and address the issue of blurry boundaries in diabetic retinopathy(DR)segmentation task.DR images are treated with Patch processing to enhance the model's ability to capture local lesion features.After backbone feature extraction,a redesigned dense dilated attention pyramid module is introduced to expand the receptive field and address the issue of blurry lesion boundaries;and simultaneously,pyramid split attention module is used for feature enhancement;and then,the features output by the two modules are fused.Additionally,an improved residual attention module is embedded within skip connections to reduce interference from shallow redundant information.The joint validation on DDR dataset and real dataset from a specific hospital shows that compared with the original model,DDAPNet model improves the Dice similarity coefficient for segmentations of microaneurysms,hemorrhages,soft exudates and hard exudates by 4.31%,2.52%,3.39%and 4.29%,respectively,and increases mean intersection over union by 1.80%,2.24%,4.28%and 1.98%,respectively.The proposed model makes the segmentation of lesion edges smoother and more continuous,notably enhancing the segmentation performance for conditions like soft exudates in retinal lesions.

Background::Given that seizures may be triggered by vaccination, this study aimed to evaluate the risk and correlative factors of seizures in patients with epilepsy (PWE) after being vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods::This study retrospectively enrolled PWE who were vaccinated against COVID-19 in the epilepsy centers of 11 hospitals in China. We divided the PWE into two groups as follows: (1) patients who developed seizures within 14 days of vaccination were assigned to the SAV (with seizures after vaccination) group; (2) patients who were seizure-free within 14 days of vaccination were assigned to the SFAV (seizure-free after vaccination) group. To identify potential risk factors for seizure reccurence, the binary logistic regression analysis was performed. Besides, 67 PWE who had not been vaccinated were also included for elucidating the effects of vaccination on seizures recurrence, and binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether vaccination would affect the recurrence rate of PWE who had drug reduction or withdrawal.Results::The study included a total of 407 patients; of which, 48 (11.8%) developed seizures within 14 days after vaccination (SAV group), whereas 359 (88.2%) remained seizure-free (SFAV group). The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that duration of seizure freedom ( P < 0.001) and withdrawal from anti-seizure medications (ASMs) or reduction in their dosage during the peri-vaccination period were significantly associated with the recurrence of seizures (odds ratio= 7.384, 95% confidence interval = 1.732–31.488, P = 0.007). In addition, 32 of 33 patients (97.0%) who were seizure-free for more than three months before vaccination and had a normal electroencephalogram before vaccination did not have any seizures within 14 days of vaccination. A total of 92 (22.6%) patients experienced non-epileptic adverse reactions after vaccination. Binary logistic regression analysis results showed that vaccine did not significantly affect the recurrence rate of PWE who had the behavior of ASMs dose reduction or withdrawal ( P = 0.143). Conclusions::PWE need protection from the COVID-19 vaccine. PWE who are seizure-free for >3 months before vaccination should be vaccinated. Whether the remaining PWE should be vaccinated depends on the local prevalence of COVID-19. Finally, PWE should avoid discontinuing ASMs or reducing their dosage during the peri-vaccination period.

Premature infants are multisystem immature and more prone to extravasation injury of intravenous drugs than mature neonates. Extravasation injury will not only increase the pain of children, prolong hospital stay, increase medical expenses, but also cause limb dysfunction in children, and even leave them disabled. In view of the lack of professional guidelines and consensus on the treatment of extravasation injury in premature infants by intravenous treatment, clinical nurses have certain difficulties in the prevention and treatment of extravasation injury in premature infants. This article reviews the evaluation of risk factors, assessment and management for extravasation injury in premature infants, aiming to provide a practical basis for clinical practice and provide a reference for further development of prevention and treatment strategies.

Objective? To study and design an early warning and pre-control scheme for the risk of intravenous catheter blockage and observe the application effect in the clinical practice. Methods? This study was divided into three stages: the first stage established the risk early warning plan of intravenous indwelling catheter occlusion through literature review, expert consultation, analytic hierarchy process and retrospective research; the second stage summarized the best evidence of intravenous indwelling catheter occlusion intervention through literature retrieval and literature quality evaluation, and established the risk through expert consultation. In the third stage, by convenience sampling we selected the inpatients from some departments of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Jilin Province to carry out non-synchronous control experiment. A total of 236 inpatients who used intravenous indwelling catheter from May to June of 2018 were taken as the observation group, and 218 inpatients from May to June of 2017 were taken as the control group. The occurrence of intravenous indwelling catheter occlusion and indwelling time of intravenous indwelling catheter were compared between the two groups. Results? A pre-warning evaluation scheme consisting of two first-level indicators, eight second-level indicators and 17 third-level indicators was formed, and three early-warning levels, low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk, were determined. A pre-control scheme was formed for different early-warning levels. The non-synchronous control experiment showed that the incidence of intravenous indwelling catheter occlusion in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P< 0.05); the indwelling time of intravenous indwelling catheter in the observation group was longer than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions? The use of risk early warning theory, the forming of a comprehensive risk factor assessment program, and the use of forward-looking nursing thinking in the implementation of targeted pre-control program, can help to improve nurses' ability to identify and control the risk of intravenous indwelling catheter occlusion, reduce the incidence of indwelling catheter occlusion, and effectively prolong the indwelling time.
