Prognostic value of Pitt bacteremia score in patients with extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of Pitt bacteremia score (PBS) on 28-day mortality of patients with extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (XDR-KP) bloodstream infection.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January, 2018, to December, 2021. The patients were divided into the survival and non-survival groups according to the 28-day survival. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors of 28-day mortality of the patients. Receiver operating curve (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of PBS in 28-day mortality of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection. The correlations between PBS, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) and sequential organ failure (SOFA) assessment were performed using Pearson correlation coefficient. The optimal cut-off value of PBS score was used as the boundary point to group the differences between APACHE II and SOFA scores in different groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognosis of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection.Results:A total of 118 patients (82 males and 36 females) with XDR-KP bloodstream infection, aged (65.98±15.16) years, were included in this study. The 28-day mortality was 61.02%. The PBS was significant higher in the non-survival group than in the survival group [(5.68±1.86) vs. (2.48±1.02), P=0.011]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PBS ( OR=4.940, 95% CI: 2.720-8.968, P=0.008), APACHE II score ( OR=1.630, 95% CI: 1.361-1.952, P=0.010) and SOFA score ( OR=1.879, 95% CI: 1.451-2.422, P=0.009) were independently risk factors of 28-day mortality of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection. The area under the ROC curve of the PBS predicting 28-day mortality was 0.970 (95% CI: 0.945-0.995, P<0.001), and the optimal cut-of value was 3.5. In addition, PBS was significantly associated with APACHE II score ( r=0.916, P<0.001) and SOFA score ( r=0.829, P<0.001). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 28-day survival rate of patients with PBS <3.5 was significantly higher than that of patients with PBS >3.5 ( P=0.001). Conclusions:PBS is a significant, independent predictor of 28-day mortality in patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection.

Prevalence and incidence of heart failure among community in China during a three-year follow-up / 老年心脏病学杂志（英文版）

BACKGROUND@#Epidemiological surveys on heart failure (HF) in Chinese community are relatively lacking. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and incidence of HF among community residents in southern China.@*METHODS@#Baseline data of this prospective study was collected from 2015 to 2017 among 12,013 permanent residents aged ≥ 35 years in Guangzhou, China. The same survey process was carried out for individuals aged ≥ 65 years after a three-year follow-up.@*RESULTS@#The overall prevalence of HF in community residents aged ≥ 35 years was 1.06%. Male had significantly higher risk of HF prevalence [odds ratio (OR) = 1.50, P = 0.027]. The gender-adjusted risk of HF was 1.48 times higher per 10 years aging. HF prevalence was statistically associated with atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after adjusting for age and gender (OR = 8.30, 5.17, 1.11, 2.28, respectively; all P < 0.05). HF incidence in individuals aged ≥ 65 years were 847 per 100,000 person-years. Baseline atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, and diabetes mellitus were risk factors for HF incidence for individuals aged ≥ 65 years adjusting for age and gender (OR = 5.05, 3.99, 2.11, respectively; all P < 0.05). Besides, residents with new-onset atrial fibrillation and myocardial infarction were at significantly higher risk of progression to HF (OR = 14.41, 8.54, respectively; all P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Both pre-existing and new-onset cardiovascular diseases were associated with HF incidence in southern China. Management of related cardiovascular diseases may be helpful to reduce the incidence of HF.

Research progress on genome-guided precision oncology and development ideas of antitumor Chinese medicine / 中国中药杂志

Genome-guided oncology refers to a new treatment concept that transcends histological classification and pathological ty-ping and uses drugs according to the genetic characteristics of tumors. New drug development technology and clinical trial design based on this concept provide new ideas for the clinical application of precision oncology. The multi-component and multi-target characteristics of Chinese medicine provide rich resources for the development of tumor-targeting drugs from natural products, and the design of the master protocol trial aiming at the characteristics of precision oncology supports the rapid clinical screening of effective tumor-targeting drugs. The emergence of the synthetic lethality strategy breaks through the bottleneck that the drug can only target the oncogene but cannot do anything to the tumor suppressor gene with the loss-of-function mutation in the past. With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology, the cost of sequencing is also decreasing. For the development of tumor-targeting drugs, how to keep up with the update speed of target information is a difficult problem of concern. Based on the integration of innovative ideas and me-thods of precision oncology, network pharmacology, and synthetic lethality strategy on synthetic lethal interaction network of antitumor Chinese medicine compatibility formula design, and the combination of improvement of innovative clinical trial methods, such as master protocol trial, basket trial, and umbrella trial, unique advantages of Chinese medicine are expected to be exerted beyond the antibody-based drugs and small molecule-based drugs and corresponding targeted drugs are potentially developed for clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of total saponins from Mussaenda pubescens， and to study the spectrum- effect relationship of its hepatoprotective activity. METHODS Ten batches of total saponins from M. pubescens from different origins were prepared using 75% ethanol as solvent. High-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） and the Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprints （2012 edition） were used to draw the fingerprints of 10 batches of total saponins from M. pubescens. The similarity evaluation and identification of common peaks were conducted. The same HPLC method was adopted to determine the contents of five triterpenoid saponins （mussaendoside H， mussaendoside U， mussaglaoside C， mussaendoside G and mussaendoside O）. The hepatoprotective effect of total saponins from M. pubescens was investigated by establishing carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver injury model mice， and the spectrum-effect relationship was studied by using grey correlation analysis. RESULTS There were 11 common peaks in 10 batches of total saponins from M. pubescens， 5 of which were identified， i.e. mussaendoside H （peak 3）， mussaendoside U （peak 7）， mussaglaoside C （peak 8）， mussaendoside G （peak 9） and mussaendoside O （peak 11）； the similarities of 10 batches of samples ranged 0.940- 0.991. Average contents of mussaendoside H， mussaendoside U， mussaglaoside C， mussaendoside G， mussaendoside O were 0.01- 0.05， 0.10-0.21， 0.10-0.18， 0.03-0.08， 0.20-0.40 mg/g， respectively. Ten batches of total saponins from M. pubescens could generally reduce the contents of alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in serum， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-1β in liver tissue of model mice （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The E-mail：13878195336@139.com correlation between the common peak areas and the contents of ALT， AST， TNF-α， IL-6 and IL-1β were 0.602-0.757， 0.585-0.833， 0.593-0.795， 0.618-0.820， 0.607-0.804， respectively； the peaks with high correlation were peaks 11， 9 and 8 in order. CONCLUSIONS Ten batches of total saponins from M. pubescens have similar components， and the average contents of mussaendoside H， mussaendoside U， mussaglaoside C， mussaendoside G and mussaendoside O are different. The batches of samples have a certain degree of hepatoprotective effect； mussaendoside O， mussaendoside G and mussaglaoside C may be its main active components.

METHODS ：One case of elderly female patient with breast cancer ，admitted to our hospital suffered from HFS （grade 2）after treated with Doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome ；after successful therapy ，the patient had skin symptoms （grade 3）again due to Paclitaxel liposome ，and clinical pharmacist judged the recurrence of HFS. For symptomatic treatment ，stopping the treatment and external use of hormone was suggested ，and whole-process pharmaceutical care was provided. The pathogenesis ，differential diagnosis ，risk factors and therapeutic drugs of HFS were summarized based on literature review and 2 case reports in the database. RESULTS ：The physicians adopted the suggestion of clinical pharmacists ；the patient ’s symptoms improved significantly on the third day and disappeared after 1 week. Combined with literature analysis and 2 case reports ，doxorubicin liposome metabolized more slowly than non liposomes in palms and soles of feet ，resulting in accumulation of doxorubicin in sweat duct and stratum corneum ，aggravating skin damage and leading to HFS. Sequential paclitaxel in liposome form may also lead to the accumulation in eccrine duct ，further caused skin damage and induced HFS. CONCLUSIONS ：Clinical pharmacists actively participate in the diagnosis and treatment of ADR ， which is conducive to the rehabilitation of patients. At same time ，combination or sequential of Paclitaxel liposome with PLD should be avoided ，as it can lead to ADR as HFS.

Curative effect of neurolysis and tendon transplantation for treatment of severe thermal crush injuries of the upper limb / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To explore the effect of neurolysis and tendon transplantation in functional reconstruction of the upper limb with severe thermal crush injury.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 12 patients with thermal crush injuries of the upper limb admitted to Changhai Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2014 to December 2018. There were 9 males and 3 females, aged 22-54 years (mean, 38 years). The percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) burn ranged from 3% to 8% [(4.9±1.4)%], and wound depth was III degree. According to the damage condition of nerve/tendon and whether there was any dysfunction of the affected limb after wound healing, 12 patients received 2 to 4 times of neurolysis and tendon transplant-related surgeries, with an average surgery of 2.7 times. Among them, a total of 18 times of neurolysis were performed, including 7 times of radial neurolysis, 6 times of median nerve neurolysis and 5 times of ulnar neurolysis, and 14 times of tendon transplantation were done, including 6 times of anastomosis of superficial flexor tendon and long thumb extensor tendon, 5 times of tendon repair transplantation and 3 times of anastomosis of lateral wrist extensor tendon and long thumb extensor tendon. The time interval of each operation was 3-6 months [(4.5±1.0) months]. The Changhai pain ruler, disability of arm-shoulder-hand table (DASH) and joint activity assessment table were assessed before the first operation, 3 months and 6 months after the last operation.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-12 months (mean, 9.2 months). The score of Changhai pain ruler in the affected limb improved from 3 (2, 3)points before surgery to 1 (0.5, 1)points 3 months after surgery and 1 (0, 1)points 6 months after surgery ( P<0.01). The score of DASH improved from (69.9±2.7) points before surgery to (35.1±1.7) points 3 months after surgery and (33.8±2.0) points 6 months after surgery ( P<0.01). The range of motion score was improved from (1.3±0.5) points before surgery to (2.4±0.5) points 3 months after surgery and (2.8±0.4) points 6 months after surgery ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Neurolysis and tendon transplantation in the treatment of severe thermal crush injuries of the upper limb can alleviate pain in the affected limbs, improve upper limb dysfunction, increase mobility of the palm and upper limb joints, and enhance the quality of life of the patients.

Advance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy in cardiac arrest caused by acute poisoning / 中华危重病急救医学

Acute poisoning induced cardiac arrest (APCA) is an acute circulatory failure caused by severe poisoning, which is characterized by complicated mechanisms, limited treatment methods and poor prognosis. Recently, emerging evidence has demonstrated that extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) could be a promising tool that may benefit the patients with APCA refractory to conventional resuscitation methods. However, further well-designed studies are needed to evaluate and resolve the emerged problems during the process of ECMO therapy in patients with APCA, such as population indications, optimal conditions, cost-effectiveness, etc. Therefore, this article reviews the epidemiology and mechanism of APCA, and the experimental and clinical studies of the application of ECMO in APCA, in order to explore the clinical value of ECMO in the treatment of APCA patients.

Molecular epidemiology of pediatric Norovirus GⅡ infection in Tianjin,2018 / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective:To analyze the molecular epidemiological characteristics of GⅡNorovirus (NoV) infection in children in Tianjin Children′s Hospital in 2018.Methods:Single center study. From January to December 2018, a total of 2 185 stool specimens were collected from the children with acute gastroenteritis suspected caused by virus infection in Tianjin Children′s Hospital. Norovirus was detected by real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The capsid protein VP1(VP1) region of positive samples was amplified and sequenced. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA5.05 for analyzing the results. The detection of NoV in different age groups and different months were compared by SPSS 20.0.Results:Among the 2 185 stool specimens,610 were NoV positive, the positive rate was 27.9% (610/2 185).All of the positive samples were GⅡgenogroup. Seven genotypes were found, with GⅡ.3 subtype accounting for 46.2%(151/327),GⅡ.4 subtype accounting for 40.1%(131/327),GⅡ.2 subtype accounting for 4.6%(15/327), other subtypes accounting for 9.1%(30/327).There was a significant difference in NoV detection rate among different age groups (χ 2=17.050, P=0.002). Among the positive specimens, the detection rate of less than or equal to 3 years old was the highest which is accounting for 89.2%.Also there was a significant difference in NoV detection rate among different months(χ 2=225.153, P<0.001).November and December are the most frequent months. There was significant difference between GⅡ.3 and GⅡ.4 NoV infection in children with granulocytopenia (χ 2=11.270, P=0.001) , and also in children with respiratory symptoms (χ 2=7.257, P=0.007) . Conclusions:GⅡ.3 and GⅡ.4 were the main genotypes of NoV infection in children in Tianjin in 2018. The Multiple genotypes suggests that the monitoring and prevention of NoV infection in children should continue to be strengthened in the future.
