The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand whether the drug Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can prevent glucose intolerance in participants with hyperlipidemia who are taking statins. It will also assess the safety of UDCA. The primary questions it aims to answer are: * Will UDCA reduce the incidence of glucose intolerance in participants taking oral statins? * Will the use of UDCA decrease other adverse events in patients taking oral statins? Participants will: * Take Atorvastatin combined with UDCA or a placebo daily for 6 months * Have follow-up visits on day 40, day 110, and day 180 Have their examination indicators recorded.

Study participants will be prospectively recruited from consecutive outpatient and inpatient populations presenting to the Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery Departments of the following participating institutions: The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and \[add additional participating institutions as applicable\].

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding standardized manual thrombus aspiration to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) works better to improve heart health outcomes and protect long-term heart function in adults with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and a high blood clot burden in the heart's arteries. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does PPCI plus manual thrombus aspiration lower the risk of serious heart problems one year after treatment, compared to PPCI alone? * Can manual thrombus aspiration better protect long-term heart function in people with a high blood clot burden? Researchers will compare two groups of participants-one group getting PPCI plus manual thrombus aspiration and one group getting only PPCI-to see if the aspiration treatment leads to fewer serious heart problems, better long-term heart function, and similar safety (including no higher risk of stroke). Participants will: * Have a heart artery scan (coronary angiography) to confirm a high blood clot burden * Be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups for their PPCI procedure * Complete follow-up checks at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after treatment, including heart function tests (like echocardiograms) * Have heart magnetic resonance (CMR) scans if selected, to measure heart tissue damage and heart function * Have their heart health status and any adverse events recorded throughout the study

To explore the efficacy and safety of thiotepa combined with melphalan for ASCT conditioning in patients with multiple myeloma who did not acheive CR with or without extramedullary inflitration before transplantation. After screening and enrollment, the patients were randomly divided into two groups according to 1:1, and the experimental group received the following drug treatments: the total amount of thiotepa was 10mg/kg, D-4 to -3; melphalan 140mg/m2, D-2. The control group received melphalan 200mg/m2, D-2 (the dose of the drug was adjusted according to the glomerular filtration rate). The two groups of D0 infused hematopoietic stem cells.G-CSF and TPO or TPO-RA were allowed to use to promote hematopoietic stem cell engraftment.Platelet and red blood cell transfusions were allowed if necessary. Efficacy of the therapy was evaluated 1 month after the end of transplantation, and the follow-up evaluation was carried out every 3 months, and the relapse rate was evaluated until 1 year after transplantation.

Study Title: Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study on Early Application of Realgar-Indigo Naturalis Formula (RIF) for Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) Sponsor: Xi'an Jiaotong University First Affiliated Hospital Principal Investigator: Wang Huaiyu Study Description: This multicenter, randomized controlled trial evaluates whether early induction treatment with oral Realgar-Indigo Naturalis Formula (RIF) combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) reduces early death rates in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). APL is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by a high risk of early death, largely due to coagulopathy and bleeding events, especially in high-risk patients with elevated white blood cell counts. Traditional treatment with ATRA and arsenic trioxide (ATO) has improved outcomes but early mortality remains a major challenge. RIF, an oral arsenic compound Chinese patent medicine, has demonstrated efficacy comparable to ATO with advantages in safety and oral administration convenience. Previous smaller studies suggested RIF may accelerate recovery of coagulation parameters and reduce early death. Patients clinically suspected of APL will be randomized into two groups: Experimental group: oral ATRA + RIF before molecular diagnosis confirmation Control group: oral ATRA only before confirmation After molecular or genetic diagnosis confirmation: Experimental group receives 1 week of ATRA + RIF induction (days 0-7), then switches to 3 weeks ATRA + ATO (days 8-28) Control group receives 4 weeks ATRA + ATO (days 0-28) Both groups then receive identical consolidation therapy with ATRA + ATO for 6 cycles (2 weeks treatment + 2 weeks off per cycle) following molecular complete remission. Primary Objective: To evaluate whether early induction with ATRA + RIF reduces early death rate (within 30 days of diagnosis) in APL patients. Secondary Objectives: To explore if early ATRA + RIF (prior to molecular confirmation) is non-inferior to ATRA alone in reducing coagulopathy and early death in suspected APL patients. Secondary endpoints include 2-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Study Design: Type: Multicenter, randomized, open-label controlled clinical trial Population: Adults aged 18-80 years with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia highly suspected as APL Randomization: Central randomization assigns participants to experimental (ATRA + RIF) or control (ATRA only) groups Blinding: Open-label (no blinding) Inclusion Criteria: Age 18-80 Newly diagnosed AML with strong clinical suspicion of APL based on bone marrow morphology and immunophenotyping Exclusion Criteria: Negative for PML-RARα fusion by cytogenetics or RT-PCR Severe organ dysfunction not related to APL (renal, hepatic, cardiac) QTc \>480 ms before treatment Other malignancies Pregnant or breastfeeding women Treatment Regimen: Induction: Experimental group receives oral ATRA 25 mg/m²/day + RIF 60 mg/kg/day for 7 days, then ATRA + intravenous ATO 0.15 mg/kg/day for 3 weeks; Control group receives ATRA + ATO for 4 weeks. Consolidation:During the consolidation phase, intermediate- and low-risk patients receive either intravenous ATO or oral RIF, while high-risk patients receive intravenous ATO together with intravenous mannitol infusion. Routine lumbar puncture and intrathecal chemotherapy are not performed. Supportive care includes hydroxyurea and venetoclax for elevated WBC, transfusions for coagulopathy, and dexamethasone for differentiation syndrome. Endpoints: Primary endpoint: Early death rate (death within 30 days of diagnosis) Secondary endpoints: 2-year event-free survival (EFS), 2-year overall survival (OS) Sample Size: Approximately 224 patients (112 per group), calculated to detect a reduction in early death rate from 12% (historical) to 3% (experimental), with 80% power and 5% significance level. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics for baseline characteristics and adverse events Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for EFS and OS Significance threshold p \< 0.05 Safety Monitoring: Daily blood count and coagulation tests during induction Monitoring and management of adverse events including severe coagulation disorders, differentiation syndrome, arsenic toxicity, infection, and bone marrow suppression Adverse events graded with CTCAE criteria and reported accordingly Data Handling: Electronic data capture system compliant with ICH-GCP and CDISC standards Confidential storage at Xi'an Jiaotong University First Affiliated Hospital Data anonymized for reporting Ethics: Conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and Chinese clinical research regulations Protocol approved by local ethics committee Written informed consent required before study enrollment Study Timeline: Planned start: June 2025 Planned completion: June 2028

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous recombinant human Prourokinase (rhPro-UK) in acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion presenting 4.5-24 hours after last known well. The study will address two primary questions: 1) Whether rhPro-UK enhances pre-thrombectomy reperfusion rates and improves 90-day functional outcomes compared to placebo; 2) Whether rhPro-UK increases the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality. Participants will be randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of rhPro-UK or matching placebo, with a total dose of 35mg (15mg administered as an intravenous push within 5 minutes, and the remaining 20mg continuously infused intravenously over 30 minutes). Key assessments include repeat neuroimaging (CT/CTA or MRI/MRA) at 24 hours post-treatment to evaluate reperfusion, NIH Stroke Scale score at day 5-7, and modified Rankin Scale score assessment at 90 days. Safety monitoring will focus on hemorrhagic transformation and mortality events throughout the study period.

Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a common congenital heart defect. Recent studies have suggested a potential association between PFO and migraines, particularly migraine with aura. It is hypothesized that PFO may allow microemboli or vasoactive substances from venous blood to bypass pulmonary metabolism and enter the arterial system directly, potentially triggering migraines. Although PFO closure has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, its long-term efficacy and underlying mechanisms require further investigation. This study aims to explore the characteristics of glymphatic system function in PFO patients and its relationship with migraine symptoms, as well as the impact of PFO closure on glymphatic function and its role in alleviating migraine symptoms. A case-control and self-controlled before-after study design is adopted. Two groups of participants are enrolled: a case group consisting of PFO patients with significant right-to-left shunt and migraine, and a control group comprising PFO patients with significant shunt but without migraine. According to clinical guidelines and after obtaining informed consent, eligible patients in the case group undergo percutaneous PFO closure. By comparing migraine symptoms and glymphatic function indicators both before and after the procedure between the two groups, the interventional effect of PFO closure and its potential mechanism will be investigated. The primary endpoint is the improvement in migraine symptoms, while the secondary endpoints include glymphatic function metrics. The findings of this study will provide new theoretical insights and clinical guidance for the management of PFO-related migraines.

the existing anti-CMV drugs mainly include valganciclovir, ganciclovir and foscarnet sodium, all of which act on DNA polymerase (pUL54), making them prone to cross resistance. DNA synthesis in normal cell is also catalyzed by DNA polymerase, which can also inhibit normal cell production, especially in metabolically active bone marrow cells, leading to bone marrow suppression. In addition, these drugs are mainly metabolized by the kidneys, causing damage to proximal renal tubular cells. Therefore, it is necessary to closely monitor the patient's renal function and adjust the dosage. Overall, the medical demand for effective and well-tolerated treatment methods for CMV infection management in kidney transplant recipients remains unmet, and safer anti-CMV drugs are urgently needed. The target of letemovir is the CMV DNA terminal enzyme complex, which is different from the target of existing anti-CMV drugs, and does not exhibit cross resistance. Moreover, this target does not have a corresponding substance in mammalian cells and does not exhibit toxicity similar to DNA polymerase targets. In addition, letemovir is mainly metabolized by the liver, and urinary excretion can be ignored (\<2% dose), so there is no need to adjust the dose according to renal function. Phase III registered clinical studies abroad have shown that letemovir is not inferior to valganciclovir in preventing CMV disease in kidney transplant recipients. Additionally, letemovir is safer and has a lower incidence of adverse reactions, especially leukopenia or granulocytopenia. However, there is still a lack of data on the use of kidney transplantation in Chinese population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of letamovir in preventing CMV infection and CMV disease in kidney transplant recipients in China.

Large Artery Atherosclerosis is one of the most prevalent causes of stroke worldwide and is associated with a high risk of disability and recurrent strokes. Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) is a promising therapy, and it has been recommended for further investigation in patients with acute ischemic stroke resulting from large artery atherosclerosis. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of RIC in patients suffering from acute moderate ischemic stroke due to large artery atherosclerosis.

Chronic hepatitis B can develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer, which seriously endangers the life and health of people. In China, HBV is mainly transmitted from mother to child, showing the phenomenon of family clusters. Similarly, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma occur in familial clusters. Familial clusters of HBV infection with unfavorable prognoses refers to HBV-infected patients from two consecutive generations of blood relatives, with at least one family member diagnosed with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous family investigations have shown that the risk and harm of HBV-related cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are significantly higher in families with familial clusters of HBV infection with unfavorable prognoses than in the general population. Currently, antiviral drugs used for CHB mainly include nucleoside analogues (NAs) and interferon-alpha (mainly pegylated interferon-alpha, Peg IFN). NAs mainly inhibits viral replication by blocking the reverse transcription process, but it cannot effectively inhibit the expression of viral proteins such as HBsAg, and rarely achieves clinical cure. Multiple clinical studies have shown that the use of NAs reduces the incidence of cirrhosis decompensation, HCC, and death in patients with CHB compared to untreated or placebo-treated patients. Despite long-term treatment with first-line NAs drugs, CHB patients continue to be at risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma. Peg IFN α-2b injection is the first-line drug of choice for antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis B, and its main mechanism of action includes anti-HBV, anti-fibrosis, anti-tumor and regulation of immune response. In 2024, a randomized controlled multicenter study showed that Peg IFN α-2b combined with NAs therapy could effectively prevent hepatocellular carcinoma in CHB patients. There is sufficient evidence in clinical practice that long-term antiviral therapy, whether NAs or Peg IFN α-2b, reduces the risk of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and death in patients with CHB. In conclusion, early antiviral therapy can reduce the risk of developing hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in CHB patients with familial clusters of HBV infection with unfavorable prognoses. The goal of this observational study is to explore the evaluation of pegylated interferon α-2b combined with first-line NAs on the long-term outcome of CHB antiviral therapy with cirrhosis and HCC progression as the main observation targets, compared with only use of NAs in the context of familial clusters of HBV infection with unfavorable prognoses. It is intended to provide high-quality evidence-based medical evidence for the treatment and follow-up of CHB, explore optimal clinical decision-making, and provide global clinical data for the improvement and evaluation of this difficult-to-treat population. The main question it aims to answer is: Can Peg IFN-α-2B combined with NAs therapy improve the long-term outcomes of this particular population of familial clusters of HBV infection with unfavorable prognoses compared to first-line NAs monotherapy? Patients with familial clusters of HBV infection with unfavorable prognoses using Peg IFN-α-2B combined with NAs therapy and NAs monotherapy will be collected laboratory and medical examination data at specified follow-up points, and recorded adverse events and drug combinations in detail for 7 years.

The primary endpoint is a composite of all-cause mortality and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding at 30 days.

TBI, as a potential risk factor, causes a 1.5 times higher risk of neurodegenerative disease to up to 30-70% of TBI patients with neurological symptoms. Brain trauma is an important global medical, public health and social problem. Early diagnosis and effective treatment can effectively reduce the disability rate of patients and the incidence of neurological sequelae, and has increasingly become the focus of the international scientific research community. Exploring blood-based biomarkers has potential clinical value, which can greatly help clinicians to evaluate patients' conditions and develop reasonable plans, and then improve the clinical management and treatment of patients with craniocerebral trauma. Further research work is needed to be done to identify the most effective and efficient biomarker or combination marker strategies for integration into clinical treatment.
