Objective To explore the effect of Internet+cardiac rehabilitation on hypertension patients with coronary heart disease.Methods 80 patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to April 2023 were randomly divided into the combined group(n=40)and the conventional group(n=40).Both groups were given routine cardiac rehabilitation interventions.The combined group combined adoptionof the Internet for continuous interventionson the basis of routine cardiac rehabilitation interventions.Compare the oxygen uptake,blood pressure,compliance,and self-management scores between two groups before intervention and three months after discharge.Results The AT Mets,AT VO2,peak VO2,and expected value compliance ratio in the combined group were all higher than those in the conventional group(P<0.05);The systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the combination group were lower than those in the control group,and the proportion of complete compliance was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05);The self-management scores of the joint group were higher than those of the conventional group(P<0.05).Conclusion The continuous interventions of Internet plus cardiac rehabilitation can control the blood pressure of patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease,and patients'compliance behavior is significantly im-proved,andthus improving patients'self-management ability,which can be used for reference and promotion in clinical practice.

Background/Aims:
Metabolic syndrome is common in patients with acute pancreatitis and its components have been reported to be associated with infectious complications. In this post hoc analysis, we aimed to evaluate whether metabolic abnormalities impact the effect of immuneenhancing thymosin alpha-1 (Tα1) therapy in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) patients.
Methods:
All data were obtained from the database for a multicenter randomized clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy of Tα1 in ANP patients. Patients who discontinued the Tα1 treatment prematurely were excluded. The primary outcome was 90-day infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) after randomization. Three post hoc subgroups were defined based on the presence of hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, or both at the time of randomization. In each subgroup, the correlation between Tα1 and 90-day IPN was assessed using the Cox proportional-hazards regression model. Multivariable propensity-score methods were used to control potential bias.
Results:
Overall, 502 participants were included in this post hoc analysis (248 received Tα1 treatment and 254 received matching placebo treatment). Among them, 271 (54.0%) had hyperglycemia, 371 (73.9%) had hypertriglyceridemia and 229 (45.6%) had both. Tα1 therapy was associated with reduced incidence of IPN among patients with hyperglycemia (18.8% vs 29.7%: hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.37 to 0.97; p=0.03), but not in the other subgroups. Additional multivariate regression models using three propensity-score methods yielded similar results.
Conclusions
Among ANP patients with hyperglycemia, immune-enhancing Tα1 treatment was associated with a reduced risk of IPN (ClinicalTrials.gov, Registry number: NCT02473406).

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and hospitalizations in infants under 1 year of age, seriously jeopardizing infants′ health.Most hospitalizations (up to 80%) due to RSV-LRTI occur in otherwise healthy infants born at term.At present, no effective treatment and preventative measure against RSV is available domestically.Passive immunization with fully human long-acting monoclonal antibody Nirsevimab offers immediate protection for all infants experiencing their first RSV season with one shot, thus ushering in a new era of prevention of RSV infection among infants.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers in China and analyze the factor influencing the KAP.Methods:A self-developed questionnaire was used for an online research on the KAP of 11 849 pediatric healthcare providers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities of China from March 11 to 14, 2022.The factors influencing the KAP of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers were examined by Logistic regression. Results:The scores of KAP, of pulse oximetry were 5.57±0.96, 11.24±1.25 and 11.19±4.54, respectively.The corresponding scoring rates were 69.61%, 74.95%, and 55.99%, respectively. Logistic regression results showed that the gender and working years of pediatric healthcare providers, the region they were located, and whether their medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters were the main factors affecting the knowledge score (all P<0.05). Main factors influencing the attitude score of pediatric healthcare providers included their knowledge score, gender, educational background, working years, region, medical institution level, and whether the medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). For the practice score, the main influencing factors were the knowledge score, gender, age, and whether the medi-cal institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese pediatric healthcare providers need to further improve their knowledge about and attitudes towards pulse oximetry.Pulse oximeters are evidently under-used.It is urgent to formulate policies or guidelines, strengthen education and training, improve knowledge and attitudes, equip more institutions with pulse oximeters, and popularize their application in medical institutions.

As an extracorporeal life support technology, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has been demonstrated its role in the treatment of patients with severe respiratory failure. Its main advantages include the ability to maintain adequate oxygenation and remove excess CO2, increase oxygen delivery, improve tissue perfusion and metabolism, and implement lung protection strategies. Clinicians should accurately assess and identify the patient's condition, timely and accurately carry out VV-ECMO operation and management. This article will review the patient selection, cannulation strategy, anticoagulation, clinical management and weaning involved in the application of VV-ECMO.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravascular ultrasound guidance drug-coated balloon (DCB) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of situ coronary artery lesions in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and its effect on thrombus precursor protein (TpP).
Methods:
Seventy-eight patients with ACS in Central Hospital of Changchun City from January 2015 to January 2019 were selected, including 46 cases with unstable angina pectoris and 32 cases with acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into DCB group (38 cases) and drug-eluting stent (DES) group (40 cases) by random digits table method. Intravascular ultrasound was used to guide PCI in both groups, and DCB and DES were used respectively. Coronary angiography was performed immediately and 6 months after PCI in both groups. Minimum lumen diameter (MLD) was measured by QCA system, and the lumen loss (LLL) was calculated at 6 months after PCI. Plasma TpP before PCI, 1 and 6 months after PCI was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization (TLR) were followed up 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after PCI.
Results:
Immediately after PCI, there was no statistical difference in MLD between DCB group and DES group: (1.87 ± 0.23) mm vs. (2.16 ± 0.15) mm,
