[Journal Article]Mao Jianmei, Yang Kairong, Guo Yaya-China Medicine2025, No.01

Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of heparin cofactor-Ⅱ(HC-Ⅱ)and dipeptidyl peptidase 4(DPP4)and coronary artery in-stent restenosis(ISR)after drug-coated balloon(DCB)dilation.Methods A total of 158 ISR patients who underwent DCB expansion in Yan'an University Affiliated Hospital from January 2021 to March 2023 were selected.The clinical data were collected,and the serum levels of HC-Ⅱ and DPP4 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Taking ISR after DCB expansion in ISR patients as the dependent variable,a multivariate unconditional Logistic regression model was established to determine its influencing factors.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the value of serum HC-Ⅱ and DPP4 levels in predicting ISR after DCB dilatation.Results After 1 year of follow-up,54 of 158 ISR patients(34.2%)with ISR after DCB expansion were included in the ISR group,and 104 patients were in the non-ISR group.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that increased stenosis rate of the official carity,increased neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and increased DPP4 were independent risk factors for ISR after DCB expansion,and increased HC-Ⅱ was an independent protective factor(all P<0.05).The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combination of serum HC-Ⅱ and DPP4 levels in predicting ISR after DCB dilatation was 0.873,which was larger than 0.789 and 0.788 of HC-Ⅱ and DPP4 levels alone(all P<0.05).Conclusion The decrease of serum HC-Ⅱ level and the increase of DPP4 level are closely related to ISR after DCB dilatation.The combination of serum HC-Ⅱ and DPP4 levels has a higher value in predicting coronary artery ISR after DCB dilatation in patients with ISR.

Abstract:Tic disorders are common neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.They are often accompanied by one or more comorbidities,which increase the difficulty of disease diagnosis and treatment and have become the focus of attention in recent years.Tic disorders comorbid with obsessive-compulsive disorder is a common comorbidity in clinical practice.Studies have shown that there is a complex bidirectional causal relationship between tic disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.Comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder increases the complexity and difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of tic disorders,resulting in reduced clinical treatment effect and prolonged course of disease.It has become a major problem in the clinical treatment of tic disorders and an important cause of refractory tic disorders.It has attracted wide attention in the world,but there is relatively little attention in domestic academic circles.This article reviews the latest global literature on the clinical characteristics,etiology,pathogenesis and clinical treatment of tic disorders comorbid with obsessive-compulsive disorder,aiming to provide a reference for related research on tic disorders comorbid with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

[Journal Article]Zhang Yuexia, Zhang Lingyun, Lan Yu et al.-China Medicine2025, No.07

Abstract:Objective To investigate the eradication rate and safety of bismuth-based quadruple therapy containing minocycline and levofloxacin in newly diagnosed patients with Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection.Methods A total of 280 patients with Hp infection who were initially treated in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2022 to October 2023 were enrolled.According to the random number table method,they were divided into minocycline and levofloxacin group(observation group)and amoxicillin and clarithromycin group(control group),with 140 cases in each group.Both groups were combined with rabeprazole and bismuth potassium citrate to form a quadruple regimen for 14 days.The medication safety and compliance of patients were followed up for 3 to 5 days after the end of medication.Hp eradication rate was determined by 13C urea breath test after 4 to 12 weeks.Results Intention-to-treat(ITT)analysis(One case was excluded in the study due to refusal to take medication,afterwards 139 cases in the observation group and 140 cases in the control group)and protocol-following(PP)analysis(after removing the subsequently excluded patients,both the observation group and the control group had 134 cases)showed that the eradication rates of the observation group were higher than those of the control group[ITT analysis:92.1%(128/139)vs 80.7%(113/140),x2=7.667,P=0.006;PP analysis:95.5%(128/134)vs 84.3%(113/134),x2=9.267,P=0.002].Age,sex,body mass index,endoscopic findings and smoking had no significant effect on the eradication rate(all P>0.05).The proportion of abnormal taste in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in other adverse reactions between the two groups(all P>0.05).Conclusion The bismuth-based quadruple therapy containing minocycline and levofloxacin has an ideal eradication rate,safety and compliance in Hp naive patients.

Study on the predictive value of early alanine aminotransferase jump combined with hepatitis B surface antigen decline in chronic hepatitis B patients with nucleotide analogues sequential pegylated interferon therapy
[Journal Article]Zeng Huang, Yang Haiqing, Li Yan et al.-China Medicine2025, No.07

Abstract:Objective To explore the predictive value of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)jump combined with hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)decline for functional cure in chronic hepatitis B(CHB)patients treated with nucleotide analogues(NAs)sequential pegylated interferon(Peg-IFN)and establish a prediction model.Methods CHB patients who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2019 to December 2022,were HBsAg positive for more than 6 months,hepatitis B virus(HBV)DNA≤3.3 log10IU/ml and received NAs antiviral therapy for at least 1 year,combined with Peg-IFN for 48 weeks,were retrospectively enrolled.The analysis was based on the baseline to 12 weeks alanine aminotransferase(ALT)jump(2-fold increase from baseline)and HBsAg decline(decrease from baseline).HBsAg response was defined as HBsAg<3.2 and a decrease of>1.0 log10IU/ml at 24 weeks.HBsAg<2.0 log10IU/ml at 48 weeks was used as the efficacy evaluation index,and the predictive factors of HBsAg response were analyzed and a prediction model was constructed.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the model fitting effect.Results A total of 145 CHB patients treated with NAs followed by Peg-IFN were included in the study.Forty of 50 HBsAg responders at 24 weeks had HBsAg<2.0 log10IU/ml at 48 weeks of treatment,with a positive predictive value(PPV)of 80.0%,and 19 of them(38.0%)achieved HBsAg loss.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that baseline HBsAg(odds ratio=11.306,95%confidence interval:3.959-32.288,P<0.001),baseline to week 12 ALT jump(odds ratio=3.435,95%confidence interval:1.107-10.659,P=0.033),and HBsAg decreased at 12 weeks(odds ratio=54.775,95%confidence interval:5.941-505.028,P<0.001)were independent predictors of HBsAg response.The prediction model was established as follows:Logit P=2.425 × baseline HBsAg+4.003 × HBsAg decreased+1.234 × ALT flared-5.776(BHA model),its area under the curve was 0.843,the standard error was 0.037,95%confidence interval:0.769-0.916,according to the calculation formula of Jorden index,the cutoff value of P value was determined to be 0.51,and the sensitivity and specificity of its diagnosis were 86.70%and 67.30%.Conclusion Baseline HBsAg level,ALT jump combined with HBsAg decline at 12 weeks of treat-ment are associated with HBsAg response in CHB patients treated with NAs sequential Peg-IFN.The prediction model constructed by the above indicators can screen out patients who are likely to achieve functional cure at 48 weeks of combination therapy.
