Objective:To understand the incidence of diabetes and influencing factors, the trend of FPG change and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong).Methods:The HIV/AIDS treatment database was collected from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. This retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART in Dehong during 2004-2020.The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the incidence density of diabetes, the influencing factors and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART, mixed linear effects model was used to analyze the trend of FPG change and predict FPG in those with different glucose metabolic status at baseline survey. Statistical analysis was performed using software SAS 9.4.Results:A total of 8 763 HIV-infected individuals were included, in whom 8 432 (96.2%) had no diabetes, 331 had diabetes. The incidence density of diabetes was 2.31/1 000 person years. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that 30- 59 years old, BMI ≥24.0 kg/m 2, Efavirenz (EFV) based initial treatment regimen and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) at baseline survey were significantly and positively associated with incidence of diabetes. Mixed effect model revealed that FPG was positively correlated with the duration of ART, age and baseline FPG. Suffering from diabetes was a risk factor for mortality in HIV-infected individuals both at baseline survey and during follow-up. Conclusions:The risk for diabetes increased in HIV-infected individuals who were 30-59 years old, baseline BMI ≥24.0 kg/m 2, received EFV based initial treatment, and IFG in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy in Dehong, 2004-2020. It is important to pay close attention to their blood glucose, and patients with high blood glucose should receive treatment as early as possible.

Objective This case report describes the treatment of a patient with J-wave syndrome who experienced two cardiac arrests and discusses the potential role of mild hypothermia in cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation.Methods A patient with J-wave syndrome was admitted to the department of emergency of Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University.During the treatment,mild hypothermia was adopted for brain protection.The patient suffered cardiac arrest again in the hospital.After continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)for 230 minutes under mild hypothermia,sinus rhythm was restored.By sharing the diagnostic approach and treatment process,valuable insights can be gained to improve patient outcomes in similar cases.Results A 17-year-old female patient was admitted to department of emergency of Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University on September 30,2021 due to sudden loss of consciousness for 30 minutes after running.She fainted 3 times in the past after excise and nervousness.CPR was performed immediately after the syncope,and an ambulance arrived at the scene 10 minutes later,and electrical defibrillation and tracheal intubation mechanical ventilation were conducted.When admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU),the patient continued to have tetanic convulsions.To manage these symptoms,the medical team administered sedation and anti-epileptic treatment while focusing on maintaining internal environment stability.Additionally,mild hypothermia treatment was initiated,controlling the patient's core body temperature at 34-36℃.With these interventions,the tetanic convulsions gradually subsided during the night.At 11:40 on October 1,the electrocardiogram(ECG)monitoring indicated ventricular fibrillation,and immediate rescue efforts such as CPR,electrical defibrillation,and blood pressure elevation were given.Due to recurrent ventricular fibrillation,the patient underwent repeated shock defibrillation and chest compressions with the CPR machine.Antiarrhythmic lidocaine was administered,and epinephrine and isoproterenol were administered to maintain the heart rate above 90 bpm.At around 15:30,the heart rate stabilized and blood pressure gradually improved.After successful resuscitation,mild hypothermia and other brain protection treatment were continued.On October 4,the mind was cleared,the muscle strength was restored to normal and the tracheal intubation was removed on October 6.Holter electrocardiogram examination indicated V1-V3 ST-segment elevation,combined with the patient's history of repeated syncope,previous electrocardiogram indicated early repolarization,considering the possibility of J-wave syndrome and Brugada syndrome,the patient was discharged after implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD)installation.Conclusions In this case,the patient was successfully resuscitated after two cardiac arrests.Among them,CPR after cardiac arrest in hospital was successfully performed for a long time under mild hypothermia without any neurological sequelae.The treatment experience provided a reference for clinical cardiopulmonary and brain resuscitation.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

COVID-19 has been prevalent for three years. The virulence of SARS-CoV-2 is weaken as it mutates continuously. However, elderly patients, especially those with underlying diseases, are still at high risk of developing severe infections. With the continuous study of the molecular structure and pathogenic mechanism of SARS-CoV-2, antiviral drugs for COVID-19 have been successively marketed, and these anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs can effectively reduce the severe rate and mortality of elderly patients. This article reviews the mechanism, clinical medication regimens, drug interactions and adverse reactions of five small molecule antiviral drugs currently approved for marketing in China, so as to provide advice for the clinical rational use of anti-SARS-CoV-2 in the elderly.

The mixing process is a critical link in the formation of oral solid preparations of traditional Chinese medicine. This paper took the extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules and Paeonol powder as research objects. The angle of repose, loose packing density, and particle size of the two powders were measured to calibrate discrete element simulation parameters for the mixing process. The discrete element method was used to calibrate the simulated solid density of Paeonol powder and extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules based on the Hertz-Mindlin with JKR V2 contact model and particle scaling. The Plackett-Burman experimental design was used to screen out the critical contact parameters that had a significant effect on the simulation of the angle of repose. The regression model between the critical contact parameters and the simulated angle of repose was established by the Box-Behnken experimental design, and the critical contact parameters of each powder were optimized based on the regression model. The best combination of critical contact parameters of the extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules was found to be 0.51 for particle-particle static friction coefficient, 0.31 for particle-particle rolling friction coefficient, and 0.64 for particle-stainless steel static friction coefficient. For Paeonol powder, the best combination of critical contact parameters was 0.4 for particle-particle static friction coefficient and 0.19 for particle-particle rolling friction coefficient. The best combination of contact parameters between Paeonol powder and extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules was 0.27 for collision recovery coefficient, 0.49 for static friction coefficient, and 0.38 for rolling friction coefficient. The verification results show that the relative error between the simulated value and the measured value of the angle of repose of the two single powders is less than 1%, while the relative error between the simulated value and the measured value of the angle of repose of the mixed powder with a mass ratio of 1∶1 is less than 4%. These research results provide reliable physical property simulation data for the mixed simulation experiment of extract powder of Guizhi Fuling Capsules and Paeonol powder.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features and genetic etiology of a case of Turner syndrome (TS) with rapidly progressive puberty. METHODS: A child who had presented at the Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic of the Shenzhen People's Hospital on January 19, 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child were collected. Peripheral blood sample of the child was subjected to chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Previous studies related to TS with rapidly progressive puberty were retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Boku, CBMdisc and PubMed databases with Turner syndrome and rapidly progressive puberty as the keywords. The duration for literature retrieval was set from November 9, 2021 to May 31, 2022. The clinical characteristics and karyotypes of the children were summarized. RESULTS: The child was a 13-year-and-2-month-old female. She was found to have breast development at 9, short stature at 10, and menarche at 11. At 13, she was found to have a 46,X,i(X)(q10) karyotype. At the time of admission, she had a height of 143.5 cm (< P3), with 6 ~ 8 nevi over her face and right clavicle. She also had bilateral simian creases but no saddle nasal bridge, neck webbing, cubitus valgus, shield chest or widened breast distance. She had menstruated for over 2 years, and her bone age has reached 15.6 years. CMA revealed that she had a 58.06 Mb deletion in the Xp22.33p11.1 region and a 94.49 Mb duplication in the Xp11.1q28 region. MLPA has confirmed monosomy Xp and trisomy Xq. A total of 13 reports were retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Boku, CBMdisc and PubMed databases, which had included 14 similar cases. Analysis of the 15 children suggested that their main clinical manifestations have included short stature and growth retardation, and their chromosomal karyotypes were mainly mosaicisms. CONCLUSION The main clinical manifestations of TS with rapidly progressive puberty are short stature and growth retardation. Deletion in the Xp22.33p11.1 and duplication in the Xp11.1q28 probably underlay the TS with rapid progression in this child, which has provided a reference for clinical diagnosis and genetic counselling for her.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical significance of translocator proteins (TSPO) gene in the treatment of FLT3-ITD/DNMT3A R882 double-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: Seventy-six patients with AML hospitalized in the Department of Hematology of the Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University from June 2018 to June 2020 were selected, including 34 patients with FLT3-ITD mutation, 27 patients with DNMT3A R882 mutation, 15 patients with FLT3-ITD/DNMT3A R882 double mutation, as well as 19 patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) hospitalized during the same period as control group. RNA was routinely extracted from 3 ml bone marrow retained during bone puncture, and TSPO gene expression was detected by transcriptome sequencing (using 2-deltadeltaCt calculation). RESULTS: The expression of TSPO gene in FLT3-ITD group and DNMT3A R882 group at first diagnosis was 2.02±1.04 and 1.85±0.76, respectively, which were both higher than 1.00±0.06 in control group, but the differences were not statistically significant (P=0.671, P=0.821). The expression of TSPO gene in the FLT3-ITD/DNMT3A R882 group was 3.98±1.07, wich was significantly higher than that in the FLT3-ITD group and DNMT3A R882 group, the differences were statistically significant (P=0.032, P=0.021). The expression of TSPO gene in patients who achieved complete response after chemotherapy in the FLT3-ITD/DNMT3A R882 group was 1.19±0.87, which was significantly lower than that at first diagnosis, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.011). CONCLUSION TSPO gene may be used as an indicator of efficacy in FLT3-ITD /DNMT3A R882 double-mutated AML.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with acute leukemia who are positive for the SET-NUP214 fusion gene (SET-NUP214⁺AL). Methods: This was a retrospective case series study. Clinical data of 18 patients with SET-NUP214⁺AL who received allo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Soochow Hongci Hematology Hospital from December 2014 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed to investigate treatment efficacy and prognosis. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results: Of the 18 patients, 12 were male and 6 were female, and the median age was 29 years (range, 13-55 years). There were six cases of mixed phenotype acute leukemia (three cases of myeloid/T, two cases of B/T, one case of myeloid/B/T), nine cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (one case of B-ALL and eight cases of T-ALL), and three cases of acute myeloid leukemia. All patients received induction chemotherapy after diagnosis, and 17 patients achieved complete remission (CR) after chemotherapy. All patients subsequently received allo-HSCT. Pre-transplantation status: 15 patients were in the first CR, 1 patient was in the second CR, 1 was in partial remission, and 1 patient did not reach CR. All patients were successfully implanted with stem cells. The median time of granulocyte and platelet reconstitution was +12 and +13 days, respectively. With a median follow-up of 23 (4-80) months, 15 patients survived, while 3 patients died. The cause of death was recurrence of SET-NUP214⁺AL after transplantation. After allo-HSCT, 5 patients relapsed. The estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 83.3%±15.2% and 55.4%±20.7%, respectively. Among the 15 patients who achieved CR before transplantation, there was no significant difference in OS and RFS between haploidentical HSCT and matched sibling donor HSCT (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Allo-HSCT can improve the prognosis and long-term survival rate of patients with SET-NUP214⁺AL. Disease recurrence is the most important factor affecting long-term survival.
