ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic efficacy， influencing factors， and safety of a treatment regimen based on coblopasvir hydrochloride capsules/sofosbuvir tablets in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus （HCV） infection in a real-world setting. MethodsA total of 253 patients who attended The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from September 1， 2021 to May 31， 2024 were enrolled， among whom there were 86 patients with compensated liver cirrhosis （CLC group） and 167 patients with chronic hepatitis C （CHC group）. The patients were treated with coblopasvir hydrochloride capsules （60 mg）/sofosbuvir tablets （400 mg） with or without ribavirin tablets for 12 weeks， and they were followed up for 12 weeks after drug withdrawal. The primary outcome measures were the rate of sustained virologic response at week 12 after treatment （SVR12） and safety， and the secondary outcome measures were the changes in liver function， renal function， blood routine， and liver stiffness measurements （LSM） after 4 weeks of treatment， after 12 weeks of treatment， and at 12 weeks after drug withdrawal. The independent-samples t test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the Friedman test was used for comparison between multiple groups， while the Bonferroni method was used for paired comparison within each group； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Logistic analysis was used to investigate related influencing factors. ResultsThe 253 patients with chronic HCV infection had a mean age of 49.38±8.65 years， and there were 151 male patients （59.7%）. Of all patients， 33.99% （86/253） had liver cirrhosis， 25.69% （65/253） had hypertension， 10.67% （27/253） had HIV infection， 8.70% （22/253） had diabetes， 3.95% （10/253） had liver cancer， 1.98% （5/253） had chronic hepatitis B， and 7.91% （20/253） were treatment-experienced patients. As for genotype distribution， 2.77% （7/253） had genotype 1， 12.65% （32/253） had genotype 2， 66.01% （167/253） had genotype 3， 16.60% （42/253） had genotype 6， and 1.98% （5/253） had unknown genotype. The patients had an overall SVR12 rate of 92.09%， with an SVR12 rate of 93.02% in the CLC group and 91.02% in the CHC group. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age （odds ratio ［OR］=1.086， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.007 — 1.170， P=0.032） and HCC （OR=9.178， 95%CI： 1.722 — 48.912， P=0.009） were independent influencing factors for sustained virologic response. Compared with baseline data， the CLC group had significant reductions in alanine aminotransferase （ALT） （χ²=107.103， P0.05）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST） （χ²=90.602， P0.05）， and LSM （χ²=42.235， P0.05） after 12 weeks of treatment， while the CHC group had significant reductions in total bilirubin （χ²=15.113， P0.05）， ALT （χ²=202.237， P0.05）， AST （χ²=161.193， P0.05）， and LSM （χ²=37.606， P0.05）. The incidence rate of serious adverse events was 1.58%， and none of the patients withdrew from drug therapy； the patients with such events were relieved after active symptomatic treatment. The incidence rate of all adverse events was 23.72%， among which fatigue （17.39%） and nausea （2.37%） were the most common adverse events， and these events often disappeared within 2 weeks or were gradually relieved after symptomatic treatment. ConclusionCoblopasvir hydrochloride capsules/sofosbuvir tablets with or without ribavirin tablets has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of chronic HCV infection.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of thrombus permeability for poor outcome and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) after endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke.Methods:Patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke underwent EVT at the Cardiocerebrovascular Disease Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Yan'an University from January 2018 to January 2024 were included retrospectively. Thrombus attenuation increase (TAI) was used to evaluate thrombus permeability. The poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score >2 at 90 days after procedure. sICH was defined as an increase of ≥4 of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score relative to baseline or lowest within 7 days after EVT, and CT scan showed cerebral hemorrhage. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of poor outcome and sICH. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to evaluate the predictive value of TAI for poor outcome and sICH. Results:A total of 77 patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke received EVT treatment were enrolled, including 44 males (57.1%), aged 62.1±12.4 years. Thirty-three patients (48.1%) had poor outcome, 35 (45.5%) experienced hemorrhagic transformation, of which 12 (15.6%) were sICH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TAI (odds ratio [ OR] 0.930, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.883-0.980; P=0.007) and sICH ( OR 0.868, 95% CI 0.784-0.961; P=0.006) were the independent influencing factors of poor outcome. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of TAI for predicting poor outcome at 90 days was 0.836 (95% CI 0.742-0.930). The cut-off value was 10.135 HU. The sensitivity and specificity were 73.0% and 92.5%, respectively. The area under the curve of TAI for predicting sICH was 0.750 (95% CI 0.637-0.902). The cut-off value was 18.200 HU. The sensitivity and specificity were 94.1% and 64.5%, respectively. Conclusions:TAI has certain predictive value for poor outcome and sICH after EVT in patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke. Patients with higher thrombus permeability are less likely to develop sICH after EVT and have a higher likelihood of good outcome.

Objective To study the clinical features of patients with scrub typhus and provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinical data of patients with scrub typhus in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2016 to December 2016 were collected. Epidemiological data, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, image examination results, treatment and outcome were retrospectively analyzed. Results The clinical manifestations included 59 cases (100.0％) with fever, 44 cases (74.6％) with headache, 39 cases (66.1％) with chills, 34 cases (57.6％) with muscle and joint pain, 29 cases (49.2％) with prostration, 49 cases (83.1％) with eschar or ulcer, 42 cases (71.2％) with lymphadenectasis, 23 cases (39.0％) with hepatosplenomegaly. Laboratory test results: 51 cases (86.4％) had normal or elevated white blood cell count, 50 cases of eosinophil reduced (84.7％), 27 cases of blood platelet (PLT) reduced (45.8％), 33 cases of albumin reduced (55.9％), 50 cases of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased (84.7％), 48 cases of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased (81.4％), and 56.1％ (23/41) of the patients with triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels significantly lowered, with predominantly free FT3 reduction (82.6％,19/23); C reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and ferritin were increased in 93.9％(46/49), 35.4％ (17/48), 64.9％ (24/37), and 83.8％ (31/37) of the patients, and 95.6％(43/45) was accompanied with chest radiographic abnormalities. Tetracycline, doxycycline and azithromycin treatment were all effective. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of patients with scrub typhus, involving multisystem, are diverse and thyroid hormones decrease is observed. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to improve the prognosis of patients with scrub typhus.
