Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and prognosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in patients with dermatomyositis associated with positive anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5-DM).Methods:A total of 55 patients with MDA5-DM were analyzed. Patients were divided into IPA (+) group (14 cases) and IPA (-) group (41 cases) based on the presence of IPA. Microbiological examination and clinical data were analyzed. Risk factor analysis was performed using Binary Logistic regression, and survival analysis was carried out using Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Aspergillus flavus (5/14, 35.7%) and Aspergillus fumigatus (4/14, 28.6%) were the most common species in MDA5-DM patients with IPA. Compared to the IPA (-) group, IPA (+) group had higher serum level of α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (246 U/L vs. 191 U/L, Z=-2.02, P=0.043) and ferritin [1 306.7(518.7, 2 977.8)ng/ml vs. 472.6(269.0, 792.1)ng/ml, Z=-2.09, P=0.036], lower CD8 + T lymphocyte counts {[111.5 (68.3, 214.0)]×10 6/L vs. [188.0(141.0, 270.0)]×10 6/L, Z=-2.18, P=0.029}, and more positive BALF GM tests [70.0%(7/10) vs. 18.9%(7/37), χ2=9.82, P=0.004]. Elevated serum ferritin was found to be an independent risk factor for IPA occurrence [adjusted OR (95% CI)=1.001 (1.000, 1.002), P=0.031)]. In addition, the 6-month cumulative survival rate was significantly lower in the IPA (+) group than in the IPA (-) group (78.6% vs. 97.6%, P=0.021). Conclusion:The mortality of MDA5-DM patients is increased after IPA infection. Elevated serum ferritin is an independent risk factor for IPA occurrence, and active prevention and treatment of IPA are expected to improve the prognosis of patients.

Sound financing mechanism is an important support for the development of health system.In response to the problems exposed in the health system during the COVID-19 pandemic,OECD countries have proposed intervention directions and investment strategies to strengthen the resilience of the health system.The investment allocation in strengthening core public health capabilities,proactive material reserves,and coordinated supply from OECD countries were analyzed,in order to explore the characteristics and effectiveness,which could provide a reference for strengthening the resilience of China's health system.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between plasma factor VIII (FVIII) level and the clinical indicators and prognosis in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients.Methods:The clinical data of IgAN patients diagnosed from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to December 2016 were collected. Patients were divided into high FVIII group (FVIII>140.50%) and low FVIII group (FVIII≤140.50%) according to the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The baseline clinical parameters at the time of renal biopsy between two groups of patients were compared. Taking the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction ≥30% or entering end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as the endpoint event, Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were used to explore the association between plasma FVIII level and prognosis in IgAN patients.Results:A total of 93 patients were ultimately retained for this study, with a median follow-up of 35.15(33.77, 36.76) months. Twelve (12.90%) patients reached the endpoint event. The levels of serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, triglyceride, total cholesterol, plasma fibrinogen, D-dimer, 24-hour urinary protein, protein C, protein S, slope of eGFR and age in the high FVIII group were higher than those in the low FVIII group (all P<0.05). The levels of eGFR, serum albumin and follow-up time in the high FVIII group were lower than those in the low FVIII group (all P<0.05). The renal cumulative survival rate was significantly lower in the high FVIII group than that in the low FVIII group ( χ2=5.635, P=0.018) according to the Kaplan-Meier analysis. After adjusting for variables such as systolic blood pressure, eGFR, urinary protein, and renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, multivariate Cox proportional hazards models analysis showed that high level of plasma FVIII was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in IgAN patients ( HR=4.147, 95% CI 1.055-16.308, P=0.042). Conclusions:The level of plasma FVIII is associated with clinical indicators and prognosis in IgAN patients. The higher level of plasma FVIII can be identified as an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in IgAN patients.
