Efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan and enhanced external counterpulsation in patients with angina pectoris after percutaneous coronary interventionAbstract:Objective To investigate the effect of combined therapy with sacubitril/valsartan sodium and enhanced external counterpulsation(EECP)on patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris after percutaneous coronary inter-vention(PCI).Methods A total of 98 patients with angina pectoris after PCI admitted to Baoji People's Hospital from October 2020 to October 2023 were randomly allocated to the control group(n=49,receiving conventional medication and EECP)and the observation group(n=49,receiving conventional medication,EECP and sacubitril/valsartan sodium)using a random number table method.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.The efficacy of angina pectoris symptoms,cardiac function indicators and in-flammatory factors levels before and after treatment,and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)after sur-gery were evaluated in the two groups.Results The total effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group(93.88%,46/49)than in the control group(73.47%,36/49)(χ2=7.470,P<0.05).After treatment,the observation group showed significantly lower values than the control group in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(50.42±3.25 mm vs 56.43±4.36 mm),left ventric-ular end-systolic diameter(40.28±6.39 mm vs 49.85±7.28 mm),tumor necrosis factor-α(12.64±2.68 ng/L vs 17.52±3.29 ng/L),interleukin-6(10.34±2.46 ng/L vs 15.69±3.66 ng/L),and C-reactive protein(12.85±3.88 mg/L vs 16.49±4.36 mg/L)(t=7.736,6.916,8.050,8.492,4.366,all P<0.05).The left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher in the observation group((56.87±6.62)%)than in the control group((50.66±7.91)%)(t=4.214,P<0.05).No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of MACE between the two groups(χ2=0.154,P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of sacubitril/valsartan so-dium and EECP can effectively improve the angina pectoris symptoms,enhance the cardiac function,alleviate the inflammatory response,and reduce the adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris after PCI.
Comparison of the efficacy of different pulmonary surfactants combined with budesonide in the treatment of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndromeAbstract:Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of bovine pulmonary surfactant versus po-ractant alfa Injection combined with budesonide in the treatment of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS).Methods A total of 152 preterm infants with RDS admitted to Xingtai Central Hospital from June 2023 to June 2025 were ret-rospectively enrolled and divided into two groups based on the type of pulmonary surfactant(PS)used.The bovine PS group was treated with bovine pulmonary surfactant combined with budesonide,and the porcine PS group was treated with poractant alfa injection combined with budesonide,with 76 cases in each group.Both groups received continuous treatment until recovery or up to 7 days.Medical records were collected and statistically analyzed to compare the time to clinical improvement,oxygenation index(OI),respiratory rate(RR),arterial blood gas parameters before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse events between the two groups.Results After treatment,the porcine PS group showed significantly shorter times to dyspnea relief((35.12±6.56)h vs(45.34±7.32)h),cyanosis disappearance((26.45±4.87)h vs(33.12±4.54)h),and oxygen therapy duration((52.18±8.67)h vs(65.32±9.45)h)compared to the bovine PS group(t=9.064,8.734,8.932,all P<0.05).The arterial partial pres-sure of oxygen and pH in the porcine PS group were significantly higher than those in the bovine PS group((95.67±9.57)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)vs(85.53±9.33)mmHg,(7.32±0.09)vs(7.29±0.08)),while the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide and the fraction of inspired oxygen were significantly lower((42.34±12.67)mmHg vs(47.22±13.17)mmHg,(28.94±3.70)%vs(32.34±4.12)%)(t=6.614,2.172,-2.328,-5.353,all P<0.05).The OI in the porcine PS group was significantly higher than that in the bovine PS group((330.58±22.92)mmHg vs(264.47±21.18)mmHg),while the RR was significantly lower((53.11±6.56)breaths/min vs(56.26±7.02)breaths/min)(t=18.468,-2.858,both P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups(15.79%(12/76)vs 13.16%(10/76),χ2=0.213,P>0.05).Conclusion Po-ractant alfa Injection combined with budesonide is more effective than bovine pulmonary surfactant combined with budesonide in the treatment of preterm infants with RDS,as it better improves the OI,reduces respiratory rate,and optimizes blood gas pa-rameters,with a comparable safety profile.
Monte Carlo simulation evaluation of cefoperazone-sulbactam regimens for Acinetobacter baumannii infectionsAbstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy of different cefoperazone-sulbactam dosing regimens against Acineto-bacter baumannii bloodstream infections using Monte Carlo simulation,comparing traditional infusion therapy(TIT),prolonged infusion therapy(PIT),and optimized two-step infusion therapy(OTIT).Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of Acinetobacter baumannii to cefoperazone-sulbactam in the Xi'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2023 to 2024 were collected.Monte Carlo simulation was employed to calculate the probability of target attainment(PTA)and cumu-lative fraction of response(CFR)for various regimens differing in dose,dosing interval,infusion duration,and infusion mode.PTA≥90%and CFR≥90%served as the metrics for optimal targeted and empirical therapy,respectively.Results Shortening the dosing interval,prolonging the infusion duration,and increasing the dosage improved both PTA and CFR.The order of PTA and CFR among the three infusion modes was determined to be OTIT>PIT>TIT.Each regimen had a minimal inhibitory con-centration(MIC)threshold.When the MIC was below this threshold,a PTA>90%could be achieved by prolonging the infusion duration and utilizing the OTIT mode.However,when the MIC exceeded the threshold,none of the optimization strategies could achieve a PTA above 90%.The MIC thresholds were 4/2 mg/L for 3 g q12h regimen,8/4 mg/L for 6 g q12h regimen,16/8 mg/L for both 3 g q8h and 3 g q6h regimen,and 32/16 mg/L for both 6 g q8h and 6 g q6h regimen.For targeted therapy,the maximum approved dose of 6 g q12h was only effective against Acinetobacter baumannii with an MIC≤8/4 mg/L.For Acinetobacter bau-mannii strains with MIC of 16/8-32/16 mg/L,PTA>90%could be achieved by optimizing the regimens to 3 g q8h,3 g q6h,6 g q8h,or 6 g q6h and prolonging the infusion duration based on OTIT framework.For empirical therapy,the CFR for all dosing regimens was below 90%.Conclusion To enhance the efficacy of cefoperazone-sulbactam in the treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infections,optimized dosing strategies should be considered,such as prolonging the infusion duration,shortening the administration interval,increasing the dosage,and adjusting the administration mode.The higher the MIC,the more beneficial these optimization measures are likely to be.

A case report and analysis of rhabdomyolysis Induced by voriconazole combined with omeprazoleAbstract:A 71-year-old female patient was admitted to on January 18,2024,due to"intermittent upper abdominal discomfort for more than 10 years and jaundice for 1 month".After admission,relevant examinations were completed,and she was diagnosed with liver damage and acute-on-chronic liver failure.On January 22,2024,due to pulmonary infection with fever,sputum culture results indicated Aspergillus fumigatus infection,and voriconazole was administered for treatment.On January 28,2024,omeprazole was administered for gastric discomfort.Shortly after the combined treatment of voriconazole and ome-prazole,the patient developed symptoms of neuromuscular injury,with a sharp rise in creatine kinase and myoglobin levels.No other disease factors that might cause such symptoms were found.Based on the aforementioned clinical manifestations and a de-tailed analysis of the patient's medication history,it was strongly suspected that the muscle injury was induced by voriconazole.Considering the disease course,medication status and the consultation opinions from the pharmacy department,rhabdomyolysis was suspected,and a potential association with voriconazole could not be ruled out.After drug discontinuation,the patient's symptoms alleviated,and the levels of creatine kinase and myoglobin returned to normal.Therefore,attention should be paid to drug-drug interaction risks when voriconazole is co-administered with other medications,particularly for serious and rare ad-verse reactions such as rhabdomyolysis.
