Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of the proportion of hibernating myocardium (HM) in total perfusion defect (TPD) on reverse left ventricle remodeling (RR) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) by ^99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) combined with ¹⁸F-flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) gated myocardial imaging positron emission computed tomography (PET). Methods: Inpatients diagnosed with HFrEF at the Cardiac Surgery Center, Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to January 2022 were prospectively recruited. MPI combined with ¹⁸F-FDG gated PET was performed before surgery for viability assessment and the patients received follow-up MPI and ¹⁸F-FDG gated PET at different stages (3-12 months) after surgery. Δ indicated changes (post-pre). Left ventricular end-systolic volume (ESV) reduced at least 10% was defined as RR, patients were divided into reverse remodeling (RR+) group and the non-reverse group (RR-). Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of RR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to assess the cut-off value for predicting RR. Additionally, we retrospectively enrolled inpatients with HFrEF at the Cardiac Surgery Center, Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2021 to January 2022 as the validation group, who underwent MPI and ¹⁸F-FDG gated PET before surgery. Echocardiography was performed before CABG and after CABG (3-12 months). In the validation group, the reliability of obtaining the cut-off value for the ROC curve was verified. Results: A total of 28 patients with HFrEF (26 males; age (56.9±8.7) years) were included in the prospective cohort. HM/TPD was significantly higher in the RR+ group than in the RR- group ((51.8%±17.9%) vs. (35.7%±13.9%), P=0.016). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that HM/TPD was an independent predictor of RR (Odds ratio=1.073, 95% Confidence interval: 1.005-1.145, P=0.035). ROC curve analysis revealed that HM/TPD=38.3% yielded the highest sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy (all 75%) for predicting RR and the AUC was 0.786 (P=0.011). Meanwhile, a total of 100 patients with HFrEF (90 males; age (59.7±9.6) years) were included in the validation group. In the validation group, HM/TPD=38.3% predicted RR in HFrEF patients after CABG with the highest sensitivity, specificity and accuracy (82%, 60% and 73% respectively). Compared with the HFrEF patients in the HM/TPD<38.3% group (n=36), RR and cardiac function improved more significantly in the HM/TPD≥38.3% group (n=64) (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Preoperative HM/TPD ratio is an independent factor for predicting RR in patients with HFrEF after CABG, and HM/TPD≥38.3% can accurately predict RR and the improvement of cardiac function after CABG.

Objective To investigate the Gram-negative bacteria resistance in nationwide's tertiary hospitals and understand the trend of antimicrobial resistance.Method All the clinical isolates were collected from 19 hospitals and the minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs)were tested using agar/broth dilution method recommended.Results A total of 4 066 pathogenic isolates from 19 tertiary hospitals in 19 cities nationwide over the period from July 2021 to June 2022 were studied.Based on the MIC results,Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae showed extended spectrum β-lactamase(ESBLs)phenotype rates of 55.0％and 21.0％,respectively,ESBLs phenotype rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae keep going down.The ratios of carbapenems resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae increased by 5 percentage points compared with the previous monitoring.Carbapenems,moxalactam,sitafloxacin,β-lactam combination agents,fosfomycin trometamol,and amikacin displayed desirable antibacterial activity against Enterbacterales,susceptibal rates were above 75％.In addition,tigacycline,omacycline,colistin and fluoxefin maintained good antibacterial activity against their respective effective bacteria/species,and the bacterial sensitivity rates by more than 80％.Resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannnii to imipenem were 26.3％and 72.1％and multidrug-resistant(MDR)detection rates were 41.1％and 77.3％,extensively drug-resistant(XDR)were 12.0％and 71.8％,respectively.Comparison of drug resistance rates from different wards,ages and specimen sources indicated that the proportion of resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from intensive care unit(ICU)were significantly higher than non-ICU.Carbapenem resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from ICU were more than 35％.Resistance rates of Haemophilus influenzae isolated in children to β-lactam,macrolide,clindamycin and ESBLs detection rate in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children were more than those from adults and the old people,so bacterial resistance in children is an important problem in China.Conclusion ESBLs detection rate of Escherichia coli increased slightly after years of continuous decline.The proportion of carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was stable,but the resistance rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii to carbapenems was still increased,which should be paid more attention.

Objective: To establish a three-dimensional coordinate system that can accurately measure the recurrence rate after orthognathic surgery, and evaluate and analyze the degree of recurrence. Methods : Data from patients who underwent orthognathic surgery in a hospital were selected to reconstruct three-dimensional images with spiral CT. The two researchers used the multiplane assisted positioning method to fix the points three times and screened them using intra-andintreclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Reproducible and accurate landmark points were drawn to establish different coordinate systems and calculate the facial asymmetry index (AI) to determine the coordinate system with the best mid-sagittal plane symmetry. This coordinate system and lateral radiographs were used to separately measure the recurrence rate, and evaluate and analyze the three-dimensional recurrence degree of orthognathic surgery. Results : Ten landmark points that may be repeatedly fixed were obtained, including N (nasion), K (K point), ANS(anterior nasal spine), PNS (posterior nasal spine), Ptm(pterygomaxillary fissure), Gn (gnathion), IZ(IZ point), MZ (MZ point), Ms (mastoideale), Cor (coronion) and and Go (gonion). Three coordinate systems were established, and the most suitable coordinate system was the upper edge point of the left infraorbital foramen. The inner upper edge of the right infraorbital foramen and both sides of the midpoint of the ear points constituted the horizontal plane (HP), which passed through the outermost point of the left zygomatic frontal suture and the outermost point of the right zygomatic frontal suture and was perpendicular to the horizontal plane to constitute the coronal plane (CP). It was perpendicular to the two planes to form a sagittal plane (SP). Two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurements of recurrence were performed on 112 patients, and new three-dimensional recurrence evaluation results were obtained. Less than 40% had low recurrence, 40% to 61% had moderate recurrence, and greater than 61% had high recurrence. Conclusion This study established a three-dimensional coordinate system suitable for measuring the recurrence rate after orthognathic surgery, obtained a new three-dimensional recurrence evaluation result, and provided a clinical experimental basis for evaluating the effect of orthognathic surgery and improving stability.

Objective: To investigate the application and clinical efficacy of ultrasound debridement method in residual burn wounds. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From August 2017 to August 2021, 64 patients with residual burn wounds who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the 980^th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA. According to the debridement method adopted for the residual wounds, the patients were divided into ultrasound debridement group (34 cases, 22 males and 12 females, aged (31±13) years) and traditional debridement group (30 cases, 19 males and 11 females, aged (32±13) years). After the corresponding debridement, the wounds of patients in the two groups were selected for stamp skin grafting or large skin grafting according to the wound site and skin donor status. For unhealed wounds after stage Ⅰ surgery, secondary debridement and skin grafting were be performed, with the wound debridement methods in the 2 groups being the same as those of stage Ⅰ, respectively. On postoperative day 3, drug-sensitive test was used to detect the bacteria in the wound and the positive rate of bacteria was calculate. On postoperative day 7, the survival rate of skin slices in wound and the incidence of subcutaneous hematoma were calculated. At discharge, wound healing time and debridement times of patients were counted, and the secondary debridement rate was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test or chi-square test. Results: On postoperative day 3, the wounds in ultrasound debridement group were infected with Staphylococcus aureus in 2 cases and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 2 cases, and the wounds in traditional debridement group were infected with Staphylococcus aureus in 5 cases, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 3 cases, Acinetobacter baumannii in 1 cases, Klebsiella pneumoniae in 1 cases, and Enterobacter cloacae in 1 cases. The positive rate of bacteria of wound in ultrasound debridement group was significantly lower than that in traditional debridement group (χ²=5.51, P<0.05). On postoperative day 7, the survival rate of skin grafts in ultrasound debridement group was (92±5) %, which was significantly higher than (84±10) % in traditional debridement group (χ²=6.78, P<0.01); the incidence of subcutaneous hematoma in ultrasound debridement group was 17.6% (6/34), which was significantly lower than 40.0%( 12/30) in traditional debridement group, χ²=3.94, P<0.05. At discharge, the wound healing time in ultrasound debridement group was (11.0±2.0) d, which was significantly shorter than (13.0±3.1) d in traditional debridement group (t=3.81, P<0.01); the secondary debridement rate of wounds in ultrasound debridement group was 2.9% (1/34), which was significantly lower than 20.0% (6/30) in traditional debridement group (χ²=4.76, P<0.05). Conclusions: Ultrasound debridement method can significantly reduce the bacterial load of residual burn wounds, reduce postoperative hematoma formation, and promote the survival of skin grafts to shorten the course of disease of patients.

To investigate the therapeutic effect of Jingfang Granules on carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4)-induced liver fibrosis in mice and its mechanism. Forty-nine 8-week-old male C57 BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a CCl_4 group, a silybin group(positive control, 100 mg·kg~(-1))+CCl_4, a Jingfang high-dose(16 g·kg~(-1)) group, a Jingfang high-dose(16 g·kg~(-1))+CCl_4 group, a Jingfang medium-dose(8 g·kg~(-1))+CCl_4 group, and a Jingfang low-dose(4 g·kg~(-1))+CCl_4 group, with 7 mice in each group. The mice in the blank group and Jingfang high-dose group were intraperitoneally injected olive oil solution, and mice in other groups were intraperitoneally injected with 10% CCl_4 olive oil solution(5 mL·kg~(-1)) to induce liver fibrosis, twice a week with an interval of 3 d, for 8 weeks. At the same time, except for the blank group and CCl_4 group, which were given deionized water, the mice in other groups were given the corresponding dose of drugs by gavage once daily for 8 weeks with the gavage volume of 10 mL·kg~(-1). All mice were fasted and freely drank for 12 h after the last administration, and then the eyeballs were removed for blood collection. The liver and spleen were collected, and the organ index was calculated. The levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bile acid(TBA), and triglyceride(TG) in the serum of mice were detected by an automated analyzer. Tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Kits were used to detect the contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD), malondialdehyde(MDA), and glutathione(GSH) in the liver tissue. Pathological changes in the liver tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE), Masson, and Sirius red staining. Western blot was used to detect protein expressions of transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β), α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and Smad4 in the liver tissue. The results indicated that Jingfang Granules significantly reduced the organ index, levels of ALT, AST, TBA,TG, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in the serum, and the content of MDA in the liver tissue of mice with CCl_4-induced liver fibrosis. Jingfang Granules also significantly increased the content of SOD and GSH in the liver tissue. Meanwhile, Jingfang Granules down-regulated the protein levels of TGF-β, α-SMA, and Smad4. Furthermore, Jingfang Granules had no significant effect on the liver tissue morphology and the above indexes in the normal mice. In conclusion, Jingfang Granules has obvious therapeutic effect on CCl_4-induced liver fibrosis, and its mechanism may be related to reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, anti-oxidation, and regulating TGF-β/Smad4 signaling pathway.

Driven by demand and policy guidance, the construction of Internet hospitals is on a fast track mode in China. To address such a situation, the state requires that before Internet hospitals are admitted, the provincial health authorities should establish an Internet medical service supervision platform to interconnect with the Internet hospital information platform for real-time supervision. This study discussed and introduced the Internet medical service supervision platform in Henan province, covering its system architecture, functions, regulatory indicators and operation mode. The platform is officially in operation and has completed docking with 7 medical institutions. It can implement entire process supervision with a total of 186 indicators in five categories in Henan, providing a reference for the construction of Internet medical service supervision platforms in other provinces.

Chloroquine (CQ) phosphate has been suggested to be clinically effective in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for predicting tissue distribution of CQ and apply it to optimize dosage regimens, a PBPK model, with parameterization of drug distribution extrapolated from animal data, was developed to predict human tissue distribution of CQ. The physiological characteristics of time-dependent accumulation was mimicked through an active transport mechanism. Several dosing regimens were proposed based on PBPK simulation combined with known clinical exposure-response relationships. The model was also validated by clinical data from Chinese patients with COVID-19. The novel PBPK model allows in-depth description of the pharmacokinetics of CQ in several key organs (lung, heart, liver, and kidney), and was applied to design dosing strategies in patients with acute COVID-19 (Day 1: 750 mg BID, Days 2-5: 500 mg BID, CQ phosphate), patients with moderate COVID-19 (Day 1: 750 mg and 500 mg, Days 2-3: 500 mg BID, Days 4-5: 250 mg BID, CQ phosphate), and other vulnerable populations (.., renal and hepatic impairment and elderly patients, Days 1-5: 250 mg BID, CQ phosphate). A PBPK model of CQ was successfully developed to optimize dosage regimens for patients with COVID-19.
