		                        			OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of tenecteplase in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, and to provide a basis for clinical rational drug use and related decision-making. METHODS The related literature in the PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang data and health technology assessment (HTA) databases were searched from the establishment of the database to June 30th, 2024. Systematic reviews/meta-analyses, pharmacoeconomic studies and HTA reports on tenecteplase in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke were collected. After data extraction and quality assessment, descriptive analysis of the included studies was carried out. RESULTS A total of 31 articles were included, involving 28 systematic reviews/ meta-analysis and 3 pharmacoeconomic studies. In terms of effectiveness, compared with alteplase, tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg) could significantly increase the early neurological improvement; the 90 d excellent neurological recovery rate, 90 d good neurological recovery rate, and recanalization were not inferior to alteplase. For safety, compared with alteplase, tenecteplase did not increase the incidence of hemorrhage, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, 3-month mortality, or intracranial hemorrhage. In terms of cost-effectiveness, foreign research results showed that tenecteplase had economic advantages over alteplase. CONCLUSIONS Compared with alteplase, tenecteplase is effective and safe in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, and it is cost-effective.

		                        			Objective:To analyze the factors affecting delayed chemotherapy in children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their influence on prognosis.Methods:Retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 591 children aged ≤18 years with BL from May 2017 to December 2022 in China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL) was collected. The patients were treated according to the protocol CNCL-BL-2017. According to the clinical characteristics, therapeutic regimen was divided into group A, group B and group C .Based on whether the total chemotherapy time was delayed, patients were divided into two groups: the delayed chemotherapy group and the non-delayed chemotherapy group. Based on the total delayed time of chemotherapy, patients in group C were divided into non-delayed chemotherapy group, 1-7 days delayed group and more than 7 days delayed group. Relationships between delayed chemotherapy and gender, age, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy, bone marrow involvement, disease group (B/C group), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 4 times than normal, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy, minimal residual disease in the interim assessment, and severe infection (including severe pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, chickenpox, etc.) were analyzed. Logistic analysis was used to identify the relevant factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patients' survival information. Log-Rank was used for comparison between groups.Results:Among 591 patients, 504 were males and 87 were females, the follow-up time was 34.8 (18.6,50.1) months. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (92.5±1.1)%,and the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (90.5±1.2)%. Seventy-three (12.4%) patients were in delayed chemotherapy group and 518 (87.6%) patients were in non-delayed chemotherapy group. The reasons for chemotherapy delay included 72 cases (98.6%) of severe infection, 65 cases (89.0%) of bone marrow suppression, 35 cases (47.9%) of organ dysfunction, 22 cases (30.1%) of tumor lysis syndrome,etc. There were 7 cases of chemotherapy delay in group B, which were seen in COPADM (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone+daunorubicin+methotrexate+intrathecal injection,4 cases) and CYM (methotrexate+cytarabine+intrathecal injection,3 cases) stages. There were 66 cases of chemotherapy delay in group C, which were common in COPADM (28 cases) and CYVE 1 (low dose cytarabine+high dose cytarabine+etoposide+methotrexate, 12 cases) stages. Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the age over 10 years old ( OR=0.54,95% CI 0.30-0.93), tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy ( OR=0.48,95% CI 0.27-0.84) and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy ( OR=0.55,95% CI 0.33-0.91)were independent risk factors for chemotherapy delay.The 3-year OS rate and the 3-year EFS rate of children with Burkitt lymphoma in the delayed chemotherapy group were lower than those in the non-delayed chemotherapy group ((79.4±4.9)% vs. (94.2±1.1)%, (80.2±4.8)% vs. (92.0±1.2)%,both P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate of the group C with chemotherapy delay >7 days (42 cases) was lower than that of the group with chemotherapy delay of 1-7 days (22 cases) and the non-delay group (399 cases) ((76.7±6.9)% vs. (81.8±8.2)% vs. (92.7±1.3)%, P=0.002).The 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (9 cases) in the COP (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone) phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (454 cases) ((66.7±15.7)% vs. (91.3±1.4)%, P=0.005). Similarly, the 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (11 cases) in the COPADM1 phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (452 cases) ((63.6±14.5)% vs. (91.5±1.3)%, P=0.001). Conclusions:The delayed chemotherapy was related to the age over 10 years old, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy in pediatric BL. There is a significant relationship between delayed chemotherapy and prognosis of BL in children.

		                        			ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials)F2052-21(Chinese corresponding standard titled as YY/T 0987.2)introduces a test method to measure the magnetically induced displacement force on medical devices in the magnetic resonance environment.This method has been widely accepted and utilized globally,which is intended for implantable medical devices that can be suspended from a string.The angular deflection of the string from the vertical is measured and thereby measuring out the magnitude of the magnetically induced deflection force relative to gravity.When applying this method on ultralight implants,it is practically almost impossible to use a suspension string that weighs less than 1%of the mass of the implant.That study proposes a method for measuring the magnetically induced displacement force on ultralight implants based on counterweight correction by using a string and clamp that exceed 1%of the weight of the implant.And then to measure the deflection angle according to the standard requirement,following that to correct the deflection angle by using the proportion of the mass of the implant under test to the total mass of the tested object,to obtain the measurement result.That study also provides theoretical calculations and experimental verification to the counterweight correction method,the results prove that the proposed method can effectively measure the magnetically induced displacement force on ultralight implants.

		                        			Objective:To investigate whether dual-energy computed tomography(DECT) measurement of monosodium urate(MSU) crystal loading can predict the risk of gout flares.Methods:A single-center, prospective, observational study included 229 gout patients initially diagnosed at the Gout Clinic of Qingdao University from August 2021 to February 2022. The patients underwent MSU assessment of the bilateral feet using DECT. Following enrolment, all patients commenced uric acid-lowering therapy(ULT) and were followed up at 3 and 6 months. Patients who experienced at least one flare within 6 months were compared with those who did not, and the odds ratio( OR) for the risk of gout flares was calculated. Results:Patients who experienced gout flare had a significantly longer disease duration[(6.69±5.42) vs(4.14±4.86) years, P<0.01], a higher number of flares in the past year(4.80±1.73 vs 2.02±1. 23, P<0.01), a higher proportion of fatty livers(11.0% vs 1.4%, P<0.05), and a greater volume of MSU crystals in the feet[(3.52±9.74) vs(0.29±0.98)cm 3,P<0.05] compared to patients without gout flare. The results of the multifactorial logistic regression analysis indicated that the number of flares in the past year( OR=1.295, 95% CI 1.032-1.613, P<0.05) and feet MSU crystal volume( OR=3.245, 95% CI 1.164-9.064, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for gout flares. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve indicated the integration of the MSU prediction model into the clinical prediction model resulted in a comprehensive prediction model with an area under curve(AUC) value of 0.780(95% CI 0.710-0.840), sensitivity of 0.83, and specificity of 0.62. Internal validation of the comprehensive prediction model using the Bootstrap method yielded a C-index of 0.770(95% CI 0.701-0.833) for predicting flares. The calibration curve of the model demonstrated a good fit between the predicted probability of flares and the actual probability, indicating high calibration accuracy. Conclusion:The volume of MSU crystals in the feet is an independent risk factor for flares following ULT. A larger volume of MSU crystals in the foot increases the likelihood of a flare. This study provides a basis for early prediction of flare and a reference for early preventive treatment.

		                        			ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of treating mediate-risk pure ground glass pulmonary nodules (pGGNs) based on the state theory. MethodsA prospective clinical randomized controlled trial was used. Totally 141 cases of mediate-risk pGGNs were divided into treatment group (92 cases) and control group (49 cases) according to the random table method. The treatment group was given the basic Sanjie Formula (基础散结方) orally with modification according to the identification of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) state, 1 dose per day, 3 months as a course of treatment.Three months after the treatment patients were checked by CT. Patients who were clinically judged as cure, moderate to low risk, and turned to surgical resection do not carry out a second course of treatment,and the rest of the patients continued to complete the second courses. Patients in the control group did not receive any treatment and were only followed up periodically. Patients in both groups received a CT review 3 months and 6 months after enrolled. Comprehensive curative effect was evaluated according to the reduction rate of the area of pulmonary nodules shown in chest CT, to further explore the clinical effective difference for patients at different TCM state; the risk of malignancy index (Mayo score) was calculated by Mayo model at enrollment and 3 months and 6 months after enrolled. Adverse events were monitored continuously during the study. ResultsDuring the follow-up, 8 cases in the treatment group and 7 cases in the control group were lost. A total of 126 cases completed the whole process, including 84 cases in the treatment group and 42 cases in the control group. The total effective rates at 3 months and 6 months of the treatment group were 46.15% (30/65) and 45.71% (32/70) in the treatment group, while the total effective rates at 3 months and 6 months in the control group were 12.5% (4/32) and 10.00% (4/40). Compared with the control group, the comprehensive curative effect of 3 months and 6 months of enrollment in treatment group was significantly better than that in corresponding control group (P<0.01). The pulmonary nodule area and Mayo score in the treatment group decreased after 3 and 6 months of enrollment (P<0.01). In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in nodule area between pre- and post-enrollment time points in the control group (P>0.05), and probability of Mayo risk increased in the control group after 6 months of enrollment compared to pre-enrollment (P<0.05). Among the 84 patients in the treatment group, there were 15 cases of qi deficiency state, 7 cases of yin deficiency state, 5 cases of yang deficiency state, 20 cases of qi depression state, 32 cases of damp-heat state, and 5 cases of harmonious state; the difference in the distribution of the total clinical effective rate of the patients with different TCM states after treatment was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the total effective rate of two-by-two comparison of qi depression state was higher (13/20,65.00%) than that of the total effective rate of damp-heat state (8/32,25.00%, P<0.00833). There were no significant changes in blood routine, urine routine, liver function and kidney function in both groups, and no adverse events occurred. ConclusionTreating mediate-risk pGGNs based on the state theory can effectively reduce the area of pulmonary nodules and inhibit the growth of malignant risk of pulmonary nodules.

		                        			Objective To investigate the effect of different radiation doses on the accuracy of iodine quantification and CT value of virtual monochromatic image with a muti-spectral CT iodine phantom using second-generation dual-layer detector spectral CT(DLCT).Methods The second-generation DLCT scan abdominal phantom was used,which consisted of six different concentrations of iodine rods at 4,8 and 12 g/L.The scan parameters were set at 100,120 and 140 kVp tube voltages,and six radiation exposure sequences were scanned at each tube voltage:5,10,15,20,25 and 30 mGy.Measure the iodine concentration value and the CT value at the single level of 50,70 and 100 keV,and calculate the absolute error value of iodine concentration and CT value under different radiation exposure.SPSS 22.0 software single factor analysis of variance was used to compare the difference between the io-dine concentration and the absolute error of CT value under different Radiation exposure,and LSD method was used to compare the two groups.Results The absolute error of CT value of 4 g/L iodine rod with 10~30 mGy scanning at 100 keV energy level was significantly higher than that of 12 g/L and 8 g/L(P<0.05),and the absolute error of iodine concentration measurement of other iodine rods with different concentrations at different Radiation exposure had no statistical difference.Conclusions The second-generation double-layer detector spectral CT has high meas-urement stability for iodine concentration quantification and CT value accuracy under conditions of radiation dose greater than 5 mGy.
