OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of Stevens-Johnson syndrome （SJS） and toxic epidermal necrolysis （TEN） induced by tislelizumab， providing evidence for clinical medication safety. METHODS Case reports of tislelizumab-related SJS/TEN were retrieved from CNKI， VIP， Wanfang Data， PubMed， ScienceDirect， and Embase. Descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS Seventeen cases from 17 publications were included （SJS 4 cases， TEN 13 cases）. Among them， there were 10 males and 7 females. Twelve patients were aged between 70 and 79 years. The predominant tumor type was lung cancer （10 cases）. Thirteen patients received combination therapy with chemotherapeutic drugs. The median onset time of SJS/ TEN was 26 （4， 104） days. Nine patients developed SJS/TEN after the first administration of the drug. Sixteen patients exhibited prodromal rash symptoms， primarily characterized by severe skin damage such as skin detachment， accompanied by mucosal injury. Sixteen patients improved after symptomatic treatment， while one patient died. CONCLUSIONS Tislelizumab-associated SJS/TEN risk is higher in elderly patients， males， those with lung cancer and those receiving combination chemotherapy. Mucosal lesions and atypical rashes may indicate the early onset of SJS/TEN. During clinical use， pharmaceutical care can be carried out through measures such as identifying high-risk populations， closely monitoring skin symptoms from the first administration to the fifth treatment cycle， and enhancing patient education. When relevant symptoms occur， the medication should be promptly discontinued and symptomatic treatment should be administered to ensure the patient’s medication safety.

AIM To explore the effects of Zishui Qinggan Decoction on the mouse model of depression induced by chronic restraint stress(CRS)via ERK/GSK3β/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway.METHODS Except for those of the blank group,the mice of other groups were induced into depression models by CRS,and divided into the model group,the fluoxetine hydrochloride group(10 mg/kg)and the low,medium and high dose Zishui Qinggan Decoction groups(8.835,17.670 and 35.340 g/kg)for the corresponding drug intervention and simultanous CRS treatment.The mice had their sugar water preference experiment and behavior experiment on the 7th and 14th day after administration;the observation of the hippocampal morphological changes by HE staining,the detection of the superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialdehyde(MDA)level in serum by kits,the detection of levels of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)by ELISA,the detection of the hippocampal mRNA expressions of BDNF,TNF-α and IL-1β by RT-qPCR method,and the detection of the hippocampal protein expressions of ERK1/2,p-ERK1/2,GSK3β,p-GSK3β,CREB and BDNF by Western blot method 14 days after administration.RESULTS Compared with the model group,after 14 days of administration,both fluoxetine hydrochloride group and medium-dose Zishui Qinggan Decoction group displayed increased preference rate of sugar water(P<0.01),shortened immobility time of tail suspension and forced swimming(P<0.01),improved hippocampal damage of nerve cells,decreased levels of serum MDA,TNF-α and IL-1β(P<0.05,P<0.01),increased SOD activity and 5-HT level(P<0.05,P<0.01),decreased hippocampal mRNA expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β(P<0.01),and decreased expressions of BDNF mRNA and p-ERK1/2,p-GSK3β,CREB and BDNF proteins(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION Zishui Qinggan Decoction can improve the depression-like behaviors in mice exposed to CRS,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of hippocampal ERK/GSK3β/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway.

Objective To examine the changing antimicrobial resistance profile of Enterobacter spp.isolates in 53 hospitals across China from 2015 t0 2021.Methods The clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp.were collected from 53 hospitals across China during 2015-2021 and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using Kirby-Bauer method or automated testing systems according to the CHINET unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints issued by the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021(M100 31st edition)and analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software.Results A total of 37 966 Enterobacter strains were isolated from 2015 to 2021.The proportion of Enterobacter isolates among all clinical isolates showed a fluctuating trend over the 7-year period,overall 2.5％in all clinical isolates amd 5.7％in Enterobacterale strains.The most frequently isolated Enterobacter species was Enterobacter cloacae,accounting for 93.7％(35 571/37 966).The strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.4±4.6)％,followed by secretions/pus(16.4±2.3)％and urine(16.0±0.9)％.The strains from respiratory samples decreased slightly,while those from sterile body fluids increased over the 7-year period.The Enterobacter strains were mainly isolated from inpatients(92.9％),and only(7.1±0.8)％of the strains were isolated from outpatients and emergency patients.The patients in surgical wards contributed the highest number of isolates(24.4±2.9)％compared to the inpatients in any other departement.Overall,≤ 7.9％of the E.cloacae strains were resistant to amikacin,tigecycline,polymyxin B,imipenem or meropenem,while ≤5.6％of the Enterobacter asburiae strains were resistant to these antimicrobial agents.E.asburiae showed higher resistance rate to polymyxin B than E.cloacae(19.7％vs 3.9％).Overall,≤8.1％of the Enterobacter gergoviae strains were resistant to tigecycline,amikacin,meropenem,or imipenem,while 10.5％of these strains were resistant to polycolistin B.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter was 10.0％over the 7-year period,but showing an upward trend.The resistance profiles of Enterobacter isolates varied with the department from which they were isolated and whether the patient is an adult or a child.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.cloacae was the highest in the E.cloacae isolates from ICU patients.Conclusions The results of the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program indicate that the proportion of Enterobacter strains in all clinical isolates fluctuates slightly over the 7-year period from 2015 to 2021.The Enterobacter strains showed increasing resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs,especially carbapenems over the 7-year period.

To understand the distribution of ticks in the Wuwei Region,enrich tick species data,and provide a basis for the prevention of tick-borne diseases,tick were collected using flagging and tick-picking methods during the highest activity period from April to September in 2021 and 2022 in the mountainous areas of Wuwei City.The ticks were identified based on morpho-logical and molecular biological characteristics,and characteristic sequences were obtained.A systematic evolutionary tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining method in MEGA 11.0 software.In total,7 342 ticks collected in Wuwei,which be-longed to 5 species from 4 genera with in the Ixodidae family,which included Dermacentor nuttalli,Hyalomma asiaticum,Ixodes canisuga,Haemaphysalis longicornis and Haema-physalis danieli.Ticks of the same species clustered together into the same branch of an evolutionary tree.In the Wuwei Re-gion,five common tick species are found across various habi-tats,with each habitat featuring different distributions of tick species and populations.The Dermacentor nuttalli is the dom-inant tick species in this area.

Objective To analyze the morphology of the pterygoid hamulus and its relationship with adjacent tissues on CBCT ima-ges,establish reference data of the anatomical structure of the pterygoid hamulus in the adult population,in order to provide a basis for clinical assisted diagnosis and treatment of pterygoid hamulus syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.Methods A total of 151 patients with CBCT images who met the inclusion criteria were collected from August 2020 to December 2023 in the Depart-ment of Stomatology at the Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Jiangsu Province.The CBCT images were reconstructed u-sing the maximum intensity projection(MIP)and volume rendering(VR)modes of cone-beam CT.The morphology,length,width,vertical height,abduction angle,mucosal thickness,distance from the pterygoid hamulus to the midline of the palate,and distance from the pterygoid hamulus to the greater palatine foramen were observed and statistically analyzed in 302 bilateral cases.The differ-ences in the morphology of the pterygoid hamulus and its adjacent tissues were analyzed in different places,genders and age groups.Results The apex of the pterygoid hamulus faced inward on 6 sides and outward on 296 sides.The apex of the pterygoid hamulus was sharp on 46 sides and blunt on 256 sides.The pterygoid hamulus showed no statistically significant differences in various parameters be-tween the left and right sides,except for the width.In males,the length,width,height,distance from the pterygoid hamulus to the mid-palatal suture,and mucosal thickness on the surface of the hamulus were all greater than those in females,demonstrating statisti-cally significant differences.Females also exhibited a larger outward angle of the pterygoid hamulus than males,which was statistically significant.Moreover,with the increase of age,the length and height of the pterygoid hamulus initially increased and then decreased,exhibiting statistically significant differences.Conclusion CBCT has the advantages of low radiation dosage,convenient operation,clear imaging,stable measurement data,and clear images in the examination of pterygoid hamulus.It helps in the diagnosis and treat-ment of pterygoid hamulus-related diseases in a clinical setting.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of drug-induced liver injury induced by acetaminophen (APAP) in children, and to clarify the mechanism of improving APAP liver injury in children on targeting MCJ.Methods:The C57BL/6 young and adult mice and mouse liver parenchymal AML-12 cells were used in the prospective study. Forty C57BL/6 young mice of 3 to 4 weeks and 40 C57BL/6 adult mice of 6 to 8 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups (control 0 h group, APAP 3 h group, APAP 6 h group, APAP 12 h group, APAP 24 h group), 8 rats in each group and intraperitoneally injected with APAP (300 mg/kg) to replicate drug-induced liver injury (DILI) model. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E) staining was used to observe the pathological change of liver tissue. The oxidative damage indexes lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) of liver tissue homogenate were detected. The expression of MCJ protein was detected by Western blot. Mouse liver parenchymal AML-12 cells were transfected with MCJ interference sequence and APAP to construct hepatocyte injury model. Hepatocyte viability, LDH and SOD levels were measured.Results:As shown in the animals results, after 3 h of APAP administration, ALT and AST levels were increased significantly in young mice, compared with adult mice: (105.25 ± 18.38) U/L vs. (37.38 ± 15.75) U/L, (87.38 ± 30.68) U/L vs. (28.50 ± 19.44)U/L, which suggested that the time liver necrosis occurred in young mice was earlier than that of adult mice. Moreover, the levels of LDH and MDA were significantly increased, while GSH and SOD were significantly decreased after 3 h of APAP in young mice, compared with adult mice, (1 231.38 ± 183.94) U/L vs. (810.50 ± 190.64) U/L, (19.63 ± 3.58) nmol/mg vs. (16.50 ± 3.51) nmol/mg, (39.75 ± 4.62) nmol/mg vs. (53.63 ± 13.07) nmol/mg, (51.38 ± 6.37)% vs. (63.25 ± 9.13)% ( P<0.01), and the levels of MCJ protein were significantly increased. After MCJ knockdown, hepatocyte viability and LDH, SOD levels of mouse liver parenchymal AML-12 cells were significantly improved compared with APAP model group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:APAP liver injury was more common in young mice than in adult mice. Knockdown MCJ expression may ameliorate APAP liver injury in young mice. MCJ may serve as a target for early intervention of APAP liver injury in children, which provide new therapeutic targets and strategies for APAP liver injury in children.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of chemotherapy re-challenge in the third-line setting for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in the real world. Methods: The clinicopathological data, treatment information, recent treatment efficacy, adverse events and survival data of mCRC patients who had disease progression after treatment with oxaliplatin-based and/or irinotecan-based chemotherapy and received third-line chemotherapy re-challenge from January 2013 to December 2020 at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were retrospectively collected. Survival curves were plotted with the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the prognostic factors. Results: A total of 95 mCRC patients were included. Among them, 32 patients (33.7%) received chemotherapy alone and 63 patients (66.3%) received chemotherapy combined with targeted drugs. Eighty-three patients were treated with dual-drug chemotherapy (87.4%), including oxaliplatin re-challenge in 35 patients and irinotecan re-challenge in 48 patients. The remaining 12 patients were treated with triplet chemotherapy regimens (12.6%). Among them, as 5 patients had sequential application of oxaliplatin and irinotecan in front-line treatments, their third-line therapy re-challenged both oxaliplatin and irinotecan; 7 patients only had oxaliplatin prescription before, and these patients re-challenged oxaliplatin in the third-line treatment. The overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) reached 8.6% (8/93) and 61.3% (57/93), respectively. The median progression free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) were 4.9 months and 13.0 months, respectively. The most common adverse events were leukopenia (34.7%) and neutropenia (34.7%), followed by gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as nausea (32.6%) and vomiting (31.6%). Grade 3-4 adverse events were mostly hematological toxicity. Cox multivariate analysis showed that gender (HR=1.609, 95% CI: 1.016-2.548) and the PFS of front-line treatments (HR=0.598, 95% CI: 0.378-0.947) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion: The results suggested that it is safe and effective for mCRC patients to choose third-line chemotherapy re-challenge, especially for patients with a PFS of more than one year in front-line treatments.

OBJECTIVE To observe the changes in brain function characteristics of Chaihu Tongbian Decoction in rats with slow transit constipation(STC)and depression using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI).METHODS 70 healthy SPF grade male SD rats were randomly divided into the blank group,model group,mosapride group,fluoxetine hydrochloride group,low(11.02 g·kg-1),medium(22.05 g·kg-1),and high(44.1 g·kg-1)dose Chaihu Tongbian Decoction groups.A rat model of STC with depression was constructed using compound diphenylephrine tablets combined with solitary confinement and chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS).Drugs were administered after successful modeling.The general condition of the rats was observed;24 h total number of fecal particles,fecal water content and intestinal carbon end advance rate were calculated;HE staining of the co-lon tissue was performed;the depressive-like behavior of the rats was detected.By comparing rs-fMRI amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(ALFF)values,the differences in neuronal activity in the brains of rats in each group were explored.RESULTS Com-pared with the blank group,the 24 h total number of fecal particles,fecal water content and intestinal carbon end advance rate in the model group were significantly reduced(P<0.01).HE staining showed that the colon tissue lesions in the model group were severe.Open field experiment and sugar water consumption showed that the activity level of rats in the model group decreased(P<0.01),and behavioral changes like anxiety and depression appeared.The rs-fMRI results showed that compared with the blank group,the ALFF value of the right posterolateral hippocampus in the model group decreased and the ALFF value of the left amygdala increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,after 4 weeks of treatment,the 24 h total number of fecal particles,fecal water content,and intestinal carbon end advance rate in the mosapride group and each dose group of Chaihu Tongbian Decoction were im-proved(P<0.05);compared with the model group,after 4 weeks of treatment,the fluoxetine hydrochloride group and each dose group of Chaihu Tongbian Decoction could improve the anxiety and depression-like behavior of rats(P<0.05);compared with the model group,after 4 weeks of treatment,the fluoxetine hydrochloride group and the high-dose Chaihu Tongbian Decoction group could in-crease the ALFF value of the right posterolateral hippocampus and decrease the ALFF value of the left amygdala(P<0.05).CON-CLUSION Chaihu Tongbian Decoction can effectively relieve constipation and depressive symptoms in STC rats with depression,and its mechanism may be related to activating the right posterolateral hippocampus and inhibiting amygdala activity.

Objective To investigate the expression and role of roundabout guidance receptor 1 (Robo1) in the neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) induced by valproate (VPA). Methods The hippocampus NSCs of SD rats were isolated and cultured. Normal NSCs and VPA-treated NSCs were extracted from 10 SD rats. After VPA treatment, the proportion of neuron-specific marker β-tubulin III (Tuj1) positive neurons differentiated from NSCs were detected by immunofluorescence. The differentially expressed mRNA in normal NSCs and VPA-induced NSCs were detected by gene chip technology. After VPA treatment, the expression levels of Robo1 mRNA and protein were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blotting. The dynamic changes of Robo1 mRNA were detected by Real-time PCR after the differentiation of NSCs. After the expression of Robo1 was down-regulated in NSCs by small interfering RNA, the expression of Robo1 protein was detected by Western blotting, and the expression levels of neuron-specific markers Tuj1 and microtubule associated protein-2 (MAP-2) were detected by Real-time PCR and immunofluorescence. Results VPA induced NSCs to differentiate into neurons. Compared with the control group, the expression levels of Robo1 mRNA and protein in the differentiation of NSCs were significantly up-regulated during valproate treatment. After interference of Robo1 expression, not only Robo1 upregulation was inhibited during the differentiation of NSCs induced by VPA, but also the proportion of NSCs differentiated into neurons decreased. Conclusion VPA may promote the differentiation of NSCs into neurons by up-regulating the expression of Robo1.
