OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the cognition of medical staff for adverse drug reactions(ADR). METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among the physicians,nurses and pharmacists with different profes-sional titles in our hospital to investigate their cognition about ADR concept,their judgment for ADR and ADR reporting,and the results were analyzed by statistical methods. RESULTS:Totally 452 questionnaires were sent out,and 439 were effectively re-ceived,with effective rate of 97.12%. In terms of correct cognition rate about ADR basic concept and the main reasons,the sur-veyed pharmacists were higher than physicians and nurses,the senior professional titles of surveyed pharmacists were higher than the intermediate and junior,the pharmacists with senior professional titles were the highest and the junior were the lowest,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of the proportion of certain for ADR judgment,the surveyed nurses were lower than pharmacists and physicians,the surveyed physicians with senior and intermediate professional titles were higher the ju-nior,the surveyed nurses with intermediate titles were higher than the junior,the surveyed pharmacists with senior professional ti-tles were higher than the intermediate and the junior,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of cognition about ADR reporting,the surveyed pharmacists were the highest and the nurses were the lowest,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),while in terms of the proportion of knowing ADR reporting timing limit,reporting procedures and depart-ments,the surveyed pharmacists and physicians with junior professional titles were lower than the senior and intermediate,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of reasons for missed ADR reporting,the proportion of consideration of the risk of causing medical disputes for doctors of the surveyed physicians was higher than pharmacists and nurses,while the sur-veyed nurses showed higher proportion for doing not understand reporting procedures,doing not reporting,thinking ADR reporting was dispensable and uncertain for ADR identification,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Medical staff with different professional titles and occupations have different cognition about ADR basic concept,judgment and re-porting,the pharmacist are relatively good,followed by the physician and nurse,especially the nurse,and the medical staff with junior professional titles are relatively poor. It is necessary to strengthen ADR education and training for them,play professional ad-vantages from the pharmacist and optimize ADR reporting procedures to improve the reporting rate and quality of ADR.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Survivin and programmed cell death 5(PDCD5)protein in mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC).Methods:Survivin and PDCD5 were detected by immunohistochemical staining in 20 cases of normal parotid tis-sue(group A),40 cases of pleomorphic adenoma(group B)and 45 cases of MEC tissues(group C).Results:The positive expres-sion ratio of Survivin in group A,B and C was 10.0%,27.5% and 55.6% respectively(χ2 =14.556,P <0.01),while that of PD-CD5 was 85%,65% and 33.3% respectively (χ2 =17.439,P <0.01).The expression of survivin or PDCD5 was related with dif-ferentiation,lymph node metastasis and TNM staging of MEC.Survivin and PDCD5 showed a negative correlation in MEC(χ2 =4.500,P =0.034,γs =-0.316).Conclusion:Survivin over-expression and PDCD5 down-expression may play a role in the de-velopment and progress of mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Abstract: Objective To compare the application value of metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) with traditional culture in diagnosis of pulmonary infection pathogens. Methods　The clinical documents of 310 patients with suspected pulmonary infection admitted to the General Hospital of Center Theater Command from February 2021 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The results of mNGS and traditional culture were analyzed, followed by comparison on the positive rate, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy (ACC), positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) between the two methods. Results　 The study revealed that mNGS can simultaneously detect multiple pathogens, with the highest efficiency of detection for bacteria and the lowest for fungi. And the sequencing numbers of bacteria, fungi and viruses shown by mNGS were significantly different (H=70.361, P<0.001). In comparison, mNGS displayed a higher positive detection rate (88.40%) than traditional culture (29.70%) (χ2=162.373, P<0.001), but the consistency between the two methods was not significant (Kappa = -0.003, P=0.902). The sensitivity, specificity, ACC, PPV and NPV of mNGS were 91.29%, 28.26%, 81.94%, 87.96%, and 36.11% respectively, compared to corresponding 30.30%, 73.91%, 36.77%, 86.96% and 15.60% of traditional culture respectively. Through analysis, it is confirmed that the sensitivity and specificity between the two methods were statistically significant (91.29% vs 30.30%, χ2=148.120, P<0.001 and 28.26% vs 73.91, χ2=13.793, P<0.001). Conclusions　mNGS can significantly improve the detection rate of pathogens in pulmonary infections and provide a complementary tool besides to traditional culture method for accurate anti-infection therapy. Furthermore, both traditional culture and mNGS pathogen detection methods are highly dependent on sample quality and detection quality control. mNGS requires the correct interpretation of comprehensive, non-destructive pathogenic genetic information to accurately identify pathogens.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of reduced glutathione (GSH) for preventing thalidomide-induced peripheral neuropathy (TiPN) in multiple myeloma (MM). Methods A total of 40 cases of MM in Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences from October 2014 to September 2016 were chosen as research objects. According to the randomized double blind principle, the patients were divided into two groups, the patients in the treatment group were treated with GSH and thalidomide in combination with chemotherapy, and the patients in the control group were treated without thalidomide and chemotherapy. The occurrence of TiPN between the two groups were observed and analyzed. Results The total incidence of TiPN in the treatment group was 25 % (5/20), while that in the control group was 45 % (9/20), there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2= 1.758, P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in neuromotor conduction velocity (MCV), compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and sensory conduction velocity (SCV) between the two groups (all P> 0.05). There were no statistically significant difference in SNAP of median nerve and ulnar nerve between the two groups (both P>0.05). But the sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) of superficial peroneal nerve in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group [(7.5 ±4.6) vs. (4.9 ±2.6)], and the difference was statistically significant (t= 2.221, P< 0.05). Conclusion GSH has a certain effect on the prevention of TiPN.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, skeletal muscle pathologies and gene variations of chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO).Methods:Sixteen patients with conformed CPEO, admitted to our hospital from January 1997 to December 2021, were chosen. Their clinical data such as onset age and course of diseases and muscle pathological examination results were collected and their gene variation characteristics were analyzed.Results:The initial symptom in all 16 patients was ptosis of varying degrees; 15 patients were with eye movement disorder, 6 with diplopia, 4 with proximal limb weakness, and 3 with dysphagia and dysarthria. Among the 16 patients, electromyography showed myogenic damage in 7 patients, myogenic combined with neurogenic damage in 1 patient, neurogenic damage in 1 patient, and normal in 7 patients. Skeletal muscle biopsies indicated that 14 patients were with ragged red fibers (RRF), 11 patients had cytochrome C oxidase (COX)-negative muscle fibers, 3 patients had a small amount of degenerated and necrotic myofibers with mononuclear phagocytic infiltration. Immunohistochemical staining indicated infiltration of CD8 and CD68 positive lymphocytes. Ten patients accepted genetic test, indicating 6 patients with single large fragment deletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), 1 patient with mtDNA point mutation, 1 patient with nucleosomal DNA (nDNA) point mutation, and 2 patients without pathogenicity variation clearly associated with clinical phenotype. Electron microscopy in 5 patients showed that abnormal mitochondrial aggregation was noted in 4 patients under the sarcolemma and among the myofibrils.Conclusion:In addition to ptosis and eye movement disorders, a small number of patients with CPEO may be accompanied by dysphagia and limb weakness; and single large fragment deletion of mtDNA is the main mutation form of CPEO.

Background Emerging evidence has shown the damage of air pollution and the benefits of physical activity to human health, and the effects of air pollution and physical activity on the nervous system need more research. Objective To explore the effects of short-term air pollution exposure and physical activity on neural damage biomarkers in healthy elderly. Methods Using a design of panel study, physically and mentally healthy retired employees were recruited from Xinxiang Medical University, and were followed up five times regularly from December 2018 to April 2019. The demographic characteristics and physical activity information were obtained by questionnaire, and the weekly physical activity level was calculated according to intensity and duration of physical activity. Biomarkers of neural damage in serum were measured, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurofilament light chain (NF-L), neuron specific enolase (NSE), protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B). Air pollution data (including PM_2.5, PM₁₀, O₃, SO₂, CO, and NO₂) of the follow-up period were collected. Generalized estimation equation was used to analyze the association of air pollution concentration and physical activity level with the concentration of neural damage biomarkers. Results A total of 29 volunteers were included in the study, with an average age of (63.5±5.9) years; there were 11 men accounting for 37.93%; more than half of them (62.07%) received above junior middle school education; the mean physical activity level was (80.23±54.51) MET-h·week⁻¹. The daily average concentrations of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, O₃, SO₂, CO, and NO₂ during the study period were (68.27±60.98) μg·m⁻³, (130.57±58.71) μg·m⁻³, (36.86±13.89) μg·m⁻³, (17.86±10.59) μg·m⁻³, (4.94±1.34) mg·m⁻³, and (50.83±8.03) μg·m⁻³, respectively. The average serum concentrations of BDNF, NF-L, NSE, PGP9.5, and S100B were (139.12±46.71) μg·L⁻¹, (402.60±183.31) ng·L⁻¹, (11.26±10.32) ng·L⁻¹, (14.32±13.57) ng·L⁻¹, and (127.57±41.74) ng·L⁻¹, respectively. The results of generalized estimation equation showed that a higher concentration of PM_2.5 or O₃ was associated with increased serum NSE (OR=1.359, 95%CI: 1.224-1.509, P<0.001; OR=1.286, 95%CI: 1.076-1.537, P=0.006), while a higher concentration of NO₂ was associated with decreased serum NSE (OR=0.692, 95%CI: 0.549-0.873, P=0.002); a higher concentration of O₃ or SO₂ was related to the reduction of serum NF-L concentration (OR=0.855, 95%CI: 0.740-0.989, P=0.035; OR=0.813, 95%CI: 0.700-0.946, P=0.007); a higher concentration of NO₂ was associated with decreased PGP9.5 in serum (OR=0.866, 95%CI: 0.777-0.965, P=0.009); a higher level of physical activity was associated with increased serum S100B (OR=1.038, 95%CI: 1.003-1.074, P=0.034); and no significant association of physical activity level or air pollution with BDNF (P>0.05). Conclusion Acute exposure to air pollution and high-level physical activity might affect the neural damage of elderly populations. Specifically, particulate matter (PM_2.5) could increase NSE, while gaseous pollutants (O₃, NO₂, and SO₂) could decrease NF-L and PGP9.5.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of neurodegenerative lesions in male mice caused by ozone exposure. 【Methods】 We divided 23 C57BL/6N male mice aged 8 to 9 months into control group （clean air group， 11） and ozone group （1 mg/m ³， 4h/d， 12）. After 8 weeks of continuous ozone exposure， the Morris water maze experiment was used to detect the mice’s learning and memory ability， HE dyeing to observe pathological changes in hippocampal tissue cells， and immunoprinting tests to detect the expression levels of Tau， p-Tau and α-synuclein proteins in the cerebral cortex tissue. 【Results】 After 8 weeks of ozone exposure， the mice’s spatial learning and memory ability were impaired to a certain extent， the incubation period decreased with time， and the two lines were separated， but the difference was not statistically significant. Ozone exposure caused changes in the morphology of the mice’s hippocampal tissue cells， disorders in the arrangement of hippocampal neuron， and nuclear wrinkles， and significantly increased levels of p-Tau and α-synuclein protein expressions in cerebral cortex tissues （P<0.01）， but there was no statistical significance in the total Tau expression level. 【Conclusion】 Ozone exposure leads to the loss of learning and memory in mice， changes in hippocampal neurocellular pathology， and increased expression levels of neurodegenerative variable-related proteins.

The characteristic genetic abnormality of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), a heterogeneous group of tumors found in various organs, remains to be identified. Here, based on the analysis of the splicing variants of an oncogene Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) in The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets that contain 9193 patients of 33 cancer subtypes, we found that Box 6/Box 7-containing FAK variants (FAK^6/7) were observed in 7 (87.5%) of 8 pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas and 20 (11.76%) of 170 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). We tested FAK variants in 157 tumor samples collected from Chinese patients with pancreatic tumors, and found that FAK^6/7 was positive in 34 (75.6%) of 45 pancreatic NENs, 19 (47.5%) of 40 pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, and 2 (2.9%) of 69 PDACs. We further tested FAK splicing variants in breast neuroendocrine carcinoma (BrNECs), and found that FAK^6/7 was positive in 14 (93.3%) of 15 BrNECs but 0 in 23 non-NEC breast cancers. We explored the underlying mechanisms and found that a splicing factor serine/arginine repetitive matrix protein 4 (SRRM4) was overexpressed in FAK^6/7-positive pancreatic tumors and breast tumors, which promoted the formation of FAK^6/7 in cells. These results suggested that FAK^6/7 could be a biomarker of NENs and represent a potential therapeutic target for these orphan diseases.
