Objective:To evaluate the effect of Empagliflozin on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in elderly patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)over a period of 1 year.Additionally, the study will analyze the influence of frailty on MACE.Methods:This study is a retrospective analysis of 577 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)who were consecutively admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020.The patients were divided into three groups according to frailty index(FI): non-frailty(FI ≤ 0.210, 301 cases), moderate frailty(FI 0.211-0.310, 184 cases), and severe frailty(FI>0.311, 92 cases).Additionally, a control group of 300 elderly HFrEF patients with T2DM who did not receive Sodium glucose co-transporter type 2(SGLT-2)inhibitors was included.The MACE outcomes of different patient groups who were followed up for a year after discharge were compared.The composite outcomes of cardiac death, worsening heart failure readmission, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke were recorded and analyzed.The study also includes Cox regression analysis of relevant factors that may affect MACE outcomes.Results:A total of 877 patients were monitored for a period of 7-14 months, with a median follow-up duration of(11.4±2.3)months.Out of these patients, 47(5.4%)were lost to follow-up.During the follow-up period, 108 patients(18.7%)in the Empagliflozin group experienced major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE), which included 43 patients(7.5%)with heart failure readmission, 29 patients(5.0%)with non-fatal myocardial infarction, 23 patients(4.0%)with non-fatal stroke, and 13 patients(2.3%)with cardiovascular death.The control group had 73 cases of major adverse cardiac events(MACE), which included 33 cases(11.0%)of readmission due to heart failure, 18 cases(6.0%)of non-fatal myocardial infarction, 14 cases(4.7%)of non-fatal stroke, and 8 cases(2.7%)of cardiovascular death.The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed significant differences in the risk of readmission for heart failure exacerbation and MACE among the groups.The study found that the Empagliflozin group had a significantly lower risk of MACE(18.7% vs.24.3%, HR=0.792, 95% CI: 0.639-0.982, P=0.033)compared to the control group.Additionally, as frailty level increased, the risk of MACE in each empagliflozin subgroup also increased significantly(14.6% vs.19.6% vs.30.4%, P<0.001).The moderate and severe frailty groups had a 1.342 times( HR=1.342, 95% CI: 1.116-1.768, P=0.022)and 1.933 times( HR=1.933, 95% CI: 1.207-3.854, P=0.019)higher risk of MACE compared to the non-frailty group.The study conducted a multivariate Cox regression analysis and found that several factors were independently associated with the risk of MACE, including age( HR=1.164), duration of heart failure( HR=1.225), B-type natriuretic peptide level( HR=1.221), albumin/creatinine ratio( HR=1.158), renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blocker( HR=0.891), frailty index( HR=1.764), and empagliflozin( HR=0.792)( P<0.05 for all). Conclusions:Empagliflozin has been shown to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF).However, it is important to note that the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors may be affected by frailty in elderly patients with heart failure.As frailty worsens, the risk of readmission and MACE may increase significantly.

BACKGROUND@#Targeted therapy for patients with driver genes positive and immunotherapy for patients with driver gene-negative but high programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression are the standards of first-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The treatment options for patients with driver gene positive and high PD-L1 expression are still worth exploring.@*METHODS@#The characteristics of 315 patients with NSCLC were identified to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with driver gene positive and high PD-L1 expression, and the efficacy of targeted therapy.@*RESULTS@#Among the 315 patients, the total positive rate of driver genes was 62.2%, and the high PD-L1 expression rate (≥50.0%) was 11.2%. The proportion of patients with driver gene positive and high PD-L1 expression was 10.7%. PD-L1 was highly expressed in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, KRAS mutation, ALK fusion, BRAF mutation, and MET 14 exon skip mutation, the proportions were 7.8% (11/141), 18.2% (4/22), and 23.1%, (3/13), 50.0% (2/4) and 100.0% (1/1) respectively. EGFR mutation positive with PD-L1 high expression was mainly in patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. KRAS mutation positive with PD-L1 high expression was mainly in patients with a history of smoking. Among them, two patients were followed in detail for targeted therapy, who with ALK fusion-positive and PD-L1 high expression (90.0%), EGFR L858R mutation and PD-L1 high expression (70.0%) respectively. The total OS of the patients was 5 months, 2 months.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The high PD-L1 expression rate in NSCLC patients with different driver gene mutations was variable, which maybe correlated with distinct clinicopathological characteristics. Patients with sensitive mutations and high PD-L1 expression may be less benefit from targeted therapy and have poor prognosis.

BACKGROUND@#Immunotherapy represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has been widely used in the treatment of lung cancer. There are controversies in clinical practice for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and high programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression receiving ICIs monotherapy or combination chemotherapy.@*METHODS@#This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 49 patients with advanced NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression. Immunohistochemistry was performed with 22C3 antibody, and the expression level of PD-L1 was evaluated according to tumor proportion score (TPS). Objective response rate (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS) were compared by groups of different clinical characteristics.@*RESULTS@#ORR of monotherapy and combination therapy group was 47.1% (8/17) and 43.8% (14/32), respectively, without statistical difference (P=0.825). The median PFS of monotherapy and combination therapy group was 8.0 months and 6.8 months, respectively, without statistical difference (P=0.502). Statistical analysis of predictors of immunotherapy for the patients showed first-line immunotherapy had better ORR than subsequent immunotherapy (12/19, 63.2% vs 10/30, 33.3%, P=0.041), however no difference in PFS. And there were no differences in ORR or PFS among groups of age, gender, smoking status, performance status (PS), pathological type, tumor size and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The therapeutic effect is similar between ICIs monotherapy and combination chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression. ORR of first-line immunotherapy was better in patients with advanced NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression. The optimal treatment for this population remains further prospective clinical studies.

BACKGROUND@#Immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy is reported to have little effect in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with driver oncogenes. However, recent studies have shown that some patients with driver genes are still benefit from combination immunotherapy after tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) drug resistance. The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of posterior line immunotherapy in NSCLC patients with epidermal growth factor (EGFR) sensitive mutation, and to evaluate the value of immunotherapy in posterior line therapy in patients with advanced EGFR mutation.@*METHODS@#A total of 27 patients with EGFR mutation diagnosed in Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2018 to November 2020 were collected. After the progress of targeted therapy, they had received programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor combined with chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic drug therapy.@*RESULTS@#Of the 27 advanced NSCLC patients, 19 cases (70.4%) did not have T790M mutation. There were 8 cases (29.6%) with T790M point mutation. The total objective response rate (ORR) was 40.7%. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference among different EGFR mutations (χ²=4.15, P=0.230). But progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly longer in patients without T790M mutation than in patients with T790M mutation (9.2 mon vs 3.3 mon, χ²=2.808, P=0.041), and the same trend was observed in patients with overall survival treated with the PD-1 inhibitor (12.2 mon vs 7.3 mon, χ²=3.22, P=0.062). ORR of patients without T790M was significantly better than that with T790M (52.63% vs 12.5%, P=0.045).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Patients with EGFR mutation can benefit from later-line combined immunotherapy. The patients with T790M mutation in the population of EGFR mutation had the worst effect of immunotherapy in the later line. Therefore, the follow-up treatment and whole-course management of these patients need to explore better treatment strategies to improve the benefit.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of Graeb score for the outcome of high-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).Methods:Consecutive high-grade aSAH patients with IVH admitted to the No. 1 People's Hospital of Jiujiang from January 2012 to March 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. High-grade aSAH was defined as grade Ⅳ to Ⅴ according to the World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) scale. The outcome of patients was evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months after discharge. A score of ≤2 was defined as a good outcome and a score of >2 were defined as a poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to evaluate the correlation between Graeb score and clinical outcome, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the predictive value of Graeb score for clinical outcome. Results:A total of 86 high-grade aSAH patients with IVH were enrolled. Aneurysm treatment: craniotomy clipping in 42 patients (48.8%), intravascular embolization in 21 (24.4%), and conservative treatment in 23 (26.7%). Twenty-nine patients (33.7%) had a good outcome and 57 (66.3%) had a poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the Graeb score >6 (odds ratio [ OR] 26.360, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 4.106-169.235; P<0.001), the modified Fisher grade 3-4 ( OR 11.674, 95% CI 1.540-88.512; P=0.017) and complicated with chronic hydrocephalus ( OR 21.236, 95% CI 2.883-156.431; P=0.003) were the independent risk factors for the poor outcome. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of the Graeb score predicting for poor outcome was 0.843 (95% CI 0.760-0.926; P<0.001), the best cut-off value was 6.5, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 71.9% and 86.2%, respectively. Conclusion:The Graeb score is an independent influencing factor affecting the clinical outcome of high-grade aSAH patients with IVH. Graeb score >6.5 had higher predictive value for the poor outcome in such patients.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for prognoses of patients with high-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 104 patients with aSAH, admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to March 2010. According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores 3 months after discharge, these patients were divided into good prognosis group (mRS scores≤2) and poor prognosis group (mRS scores >2). Clinical data of patients from the 2 groups were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors for prognoses.Results:Forty patients (38.5%) were with good prognosis and 64 (61.5%) were with poor prognosis. As compared with patients in the poor prognosis group, patients in the good prognosis group had significantly lower proportion of patients>60 years old, and significantly lower Graeb scores, cast fourth ventricle (CFV) incidence, Fisher grading, blood glucose content, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure, and statistically higher serum potassium content ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in treatment methods and incidence of complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age>60 years ( OR=13.470, 95%CI: 2.177-83.347, P=0.005), Fisher grading ( OR=6.649, 95%CI: 1.141-38.736, P=0.035), conservative treatment ( OR=6.348, 95%CI: 1.048-38.742, P=0.044), mean arterial pressure at admission ( OR=29.721, 95%CI: 3.177-278.012, P=0.003), serum potassium ( OR=5.296, 95%CI: 1.138-24.653, P=0.034), CFV ( OR=9.855, 95%CI: 1.785-51.456, P=0.008), and chronic hydrocephalus ( OR=19.298, 95%CI: 3.294-113.069, P=0.001) were influencing factors for prognoses of high-grade aSAH patients. Conclusion:Severe aSAH patients with advanced age, high Fisher grading, high mean arterial pressure, low serum potassium content, fourth ventricle casting and chronic hydrocephalus under conservative treatment are more likely to have poor prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the sternocleidomastoid muscle hardness in patients with tension-type headache (TTH) by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), and to explore its clinical value in evaluating TTH.Methods:Thirty-five patients with TTH admitted to our hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 and 35 subjects accepted physical examination at the same time period were enrolled in this study. The thicknesses of sternocleidomastoid muscles were measured by two-dimensional ultrasound. On this basis, shear wave velocity (SWV) of sternocleidomastoid muscles was quantitatively evaluated by ARFI. The correlation between thicknesses of sternocleidomastoid muscles and headache was further analyzed.Results:The thickness of sternocleidomastoid muscles, SWV in transverse and longitudinal sections, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores in patients with TTH during headache and after massage were significantly higher than those in the heathy subjects ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, SWV in transverse and longitudinal sections, VAS scores decreased significantly in TTH after massage, which showed significant difference as compared with those during headache ( P<0.05). During headache, the thickness of sternocleidomastoid muscles was negatively correlated with VAS scores ( r=-0.397, P=0.002), SWV in longitudinal section of sternocleidomastoid muscles was positively correlated with VAS scores ( r=0.643, P=0.000). Conclusions:The thickness and hardness of sternocleidomastoid muscle are closely related with TTH. ARFI can quantitatively evaluate the thickness and hardness of sternocleidomastoid muscle.

To obtain a recombinant human plasminogen (hPLG) with potential anti-platelet aggregation activity, we cloned the cDNA coding Pro544 to Asn791 of hPLG, a kringle-deficit derivative (hPLG-deltaK). The Pro559 in activation loop was then mutated into Asp559 to provide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif. The constructed pPICZalphaA-RGD-HPLG-deltaK plasmid was expressed in yeast Pichia pastoris GS115, which produced RGD-hPLG-deltaK about 0.160 g/L broth. After affinity chromatography, the purity of the recombinant protein reached above 90%. Western blotting test confirmed that it retained the immunological reaction capability as human PLG. Its urokinase activation rate in 24 hours and its fibrinolytic activity made no deference against native hPLG-deltaK (P=0.630, n=5). Importantly, after activation by urokinase, RGD-hPLG-deltaK showed a significantly higher platelet aggregation inhibition rate (Ri) (21.8% +/- 1.57%) than hPLG-deltaK (3.8% +/- 0.33%) (P=0.000, n=5). These results proved that we constructed an hPLG mutant with anti-platelet aggregation activity, which made a foundation for developing innovative thrombolytic drugs with multifunction.

Objective To explore the effect of Electroacupuncture on anxiety mood and periaqueductal grey (PAG) β-endorphine expression in rats with morphine abstinence syndrome.Methods The model of heroin-addicted rat was firmly established by the subcutaneous injection of gradually-increased dosages of heroin. Rats were randomly divided into control group, herion-addict group, withdrawal group, electroacupuncture group.Anxiety mood of experimental rats were assessed by Elevated Plus Maze test. Expression of β-EP in PAG was detected by immunohistochemstry. The effect of electroacupuncture at bilateral zusanli and sanyinjiao on anxiety mood and expression of β-EP in PAG was observed in rats with herion abstinence symptom.Results The anxiety index in rats with herion abstinence symptom:the value of OT%,OE%and head-dips times was (12.5±4.3) %, (17.1±6.7)%and (5.7±2.0) times respectively,lower than that in control group [ (26.8±8.7) %,(32.4±6.0) % and (12.2±4.0) times respectively],there existed significant difference(The value of P was 0.003,0.018 and 0.003 respectively).Meanwhile,The expression of β-EP-positive neurons(206.1±23.1)was significantly higher than the control(186.2±15.3). There existed significant difference( P =0.041).Electroacupuncture could increase OT%,OE%,head-dips times[(26.5±8.7)%、(31.8±7.7)% and (9.9±3.1) times respectively] in rats with herion abstinence symptom,which comparied with control group were not statistically distinctive(The value of P was 0.920,0.816 and 0.122 respectively).The expression of β-EP(185.3±11.4)in PAG increased, which comparied with control group(186.2±15.3)were not statistically distinctive( P =0.891).Conclusion Electroacupuncture could inhibit the abstinence syndrome effectively.And there is obvious promotion of β-EP expression in PAG. This is probably one of underlying mechanisms for electroacupuncture improving withdrawal symptoms.
