Objective To realize the utilization of antibacterial drugs in pediatric inpatients in Children's Hospital for clinical reference of rational use of drugs. Methods By a retrospective study, 180 cases in pediatric inpatients were randomly sampled in Children's Hospital from July to December 2012, and were analyzed in utility rate, antibiotics varieties, administrational frequency,single dose,combination use,prophylaxis time,courses of drug use,etc. Results The use of antibacterial drugs in pediatric inpatients was 110 cases (61.1%) and used in combination was 55 cases (50%) . Leading the list in terms of DDDs was cephalosporins,followed byβ-lactam and its enzyme inhibitor complex preparations. The improper medications frequency was 12 cases (10.9%), irrational single dose was 7 cases (6.4%), and irrational course of treatment was 9 cases (8.2%) . Conclusion The utilization of antibacterial drugs in Children's Hospital is basically rational, but there still exist some irrational drug uses,such as antibiotics varieties,no indication, irrational dosage,long duration and irrational combination. So, it is necessary to enhance the administration of antibiotics use and improve the level of clinical reasonable application of antibiotics.

Objective This study explored the expression of polyclonal protein SUZ12 in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC),and its role in predicting the survival and treatment of ICC patients.Methods The expression of SUZ12 and p16INK4a was detected by immunohistochemical assay in 207 liver tissue samples including ICC patients,BilIN-1,-2,-3 and non-tumor-like cholangiocarcinoma.The expression of these proteins was assessed to be related to the pathological characteristics of the ICC patients receiving chemotherapy and the outcome of survival as well as the subsequent chemotherapy response.Results The expression level of SUZ12 was gradually increased from non-neoplastic bile duct tissue to BilIN-1,-2,-3 and ICC.The expression of p16INK4a protein was expressed in non-neoplastic-like cholangiocarcinoma,but it decreased gradually in BilIN-1,-2,-3 and ICC tissues.SUZ12 expression was associated with undifferentiated ICC,lymph node metastasis and advanced cancer.Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that ICC patients with high expression of SUZ12 had a significant reduction in overall survival and disease-free survival in comparison with ICC patients with the low expression of SUZ12.SUZ12 expression was significantly associated with overall survival of patients receiving adjuvant gemcitabine-based chemotherapy(AGC).Conclusion SUZ12 expression is able to predict the overall survival and disease-free survival of ICC patients with adjuvant gemcitabine-based chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between hepatic fibrosis stage and clinical serum fibrosis markers in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods Liver puncture biopsy was performed in 189 CHB patients.The serum levels of hyalyronic acid (HA),laminin (LN),procollagen Ⅲ (PCⅢ),collagen Ⅳ (Ⅳ C),liver function and peripheral blood routine were detected simultaneously. The comparison, correlation and regression analysis were performed based on different fibrosis stages (S).Results From SO to S4 group,levels of PC Ⅲ,γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-G-T),total bilirubin (TBil),protein electrophoresis γ-globulin (Ely-γ) and prothrombin time (PT) were progressively elevated,the differences were statistically significant (F value was 3.325,6.218,2.958,10.160 and 7.028,P＜0.05),while cholinesterase (CHE),total protein (TP),albumin (Alb) and platelet (PLT) were progressively declined,the differences were also statistically significant (F value was 15.984,3.768,14.919 and 4.737,P＜0.05).The differences of LN,IVC,ALT and AST between groups were statistically significant (F value was 4.618,2.795,2.649 and 3.199,P＜0.05).Fibrosis stages (s) was positively correlated with LN,PCIII,ALT,AST,TBil,γ-GT,Ep-γand PT (r=0.200,0.306,0.172,0.273,0.153,0.402,0.415,0.269,respectively);while it was negatively correlated with CHE,TP,Alb and PLT (r=-0.502,-0.208,-0.413,-0.390,respectively);I.N,AI.T,CHE,PLT and Ep-γ were the independent risk factors which affecting hepatic fibrosis stages.Conclusions Liver fibrosis stage in histopathology was correlative in certain degree with the serum markers of hepatic fibrosis,liver function,and blood routine examination.Combined analysis of clinical data may be used to early diagnose hepatic fibrosis non-invasively.

Objective: To investigate the effects of proteasome beta 5 subunit (PSMB5) on proliferation and bortezomib (BTZ) chemo-sensitivity of multiple myeloma (MM) and its related molecular mechanisms. Methods: We used two MM cell lines, RPMI 8226 and BTZ drug-resistant cell line RPMI 8226/BTZ100 (hereinafter referred to as BTZ100) , as the research object. PSMB5 was overexpressed or knocked down in two myeloma cell lines via lentivirus transfection. CCK8 assay was used to detect the impact of PSMB5 on cell viability and bortezomib sensitivity in human myeloma cells; Using flow cytometry to test the effects of PSMB5 on apoptosis rate of human myeloma cells under the treatment of bortezomib; Apoptosis-related gene expression of Bax, Bcl-2, p-Akt and cleaved caspase-3 were detected by Western blot. Results: ①PSMB5 overexpression and knockdown were successfully constructed in RPMI 8226 and BTZ100 cells. ②PSMB5 expression was positively correlated with cell proliferation of RPMI 8226 and BTZ100 cells (P<0.05) . ③The cell viability was lower after PSMB5 knockdown in RPMI 8226 cells than control cells under the same concentration of BTZ[IC₅₀ at 24 h: (7.01±0.47) and (9.64±0.55) nmol/L respectively, t=6.289, P=0.003]. The cell viability was higher after PSMB5 overexpression in RPMI 8226 cells than control cells under the same concentration of BTZ[IC₅₀ at 24 h: (10.99±0.58) and (9.51±0.37) nmol/L respectively, t=3.724, P=0.020) . PSMB5 expression was negatively correlated with the sensitivity of RPMI 8226 cells to BTZ. The results of BTZ100 cells were similar. ④The expression of PSMB5 was negatively correlated with the apoptosis of RPMI 8226 and BTZ100 under the treatment of BTZ. ⑤Meanwhile, PSMB5 knockdown could increase the expression of pro-apoptosis gene Bax and cleaved caspase-3 and decrease the expression of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 and p-Akt. PSMB5 over-expression has the opposite results. Conclusion PSMB5 knockdown could improve the bortezomib sensitivity of MM cells via activation of apoptosis signaling. PSMB5 may be a potential therapeutic target for MM.

Objective To study the dynamic changes of blood carnitine and acylcarnitine levels in preterm infants during parenteral and enteral nutritional support,and the relationship between carnitine status and nutritional patterns,gestational age (GA) and weight gain.Method From January 2017 to December 2017,preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) within 24 hours after birth and received parenteral nutrition support were enrolled.They were assigned into 4 groups according to their GA:ultra-premature infants (＜ 28 weeks),very premature infants (28 ～ 31 weeks),mid premature infants (32 ～ 33 weeks) and late premature infants (34 ～ 36 weeks).They were assigned into 2 groups according to their average daily weight gain:＜ 15 g/(kg · d) group and ≥15 g/(kg · d) group.Blood samples were collected and examined as dried-blood spot specimens on filter paper for four times:after born,given total parenteral nutrition,given enteral combined parenteral nutrition,and given total parenteral nutrition.The concentrations of free carnitine and acylcarnitine were detected using liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).SPSS 21.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis.Result A total of 124 preterm infants and 410 samples were collected.As the infants experienced gradual transition from parenteral nutrition to enteral nutrition,the free carnitine and most acylcarnitines levels were decreasing (C3,C4,C10DC,C12,C12∶1,C12DC,C14,C16,C16∶ 1,C16-OH and C18,P＜0.05).Preterm infants with small GA showed higher levels of C4-OH (P =0.001) and C5 (P =0.001).Preterm infants with lower velocity of weight gain showed lower concentration of C5-OH (P =0.006) in the early postnatal period.Conclusion Free carnitine and acylcarnitine in preterm infants during the early postnatal period are decreasing with the transition from parenteral nutrition to enteral nutrition,indicating that the exogenous nutrition is relatively insufficient.C4-OH and C5 levels are negatively correlated with GA.In addition,lower level of C5-OH may indicate slow weight gain during the early postnatal period.

Objective:To investigate the high-risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with pT 1-2N 1M 0 after mastectomy, establish a nomogram prediction model, perform risk stratification, and screen the radiotherapy benefit populations. Methods:Clinical data of 936 patients with pT 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer undergoing mastectomy in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2010 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed and 908 cases had complete follow-up data. They were divided into the radiotherapy (RT) group ( n=583) and non radiotherapy (NRT) group ( n=325) according to the radiotherapy. After propensity score matching (PSM) was performed 1 vs. 1, 298 cases were assigned into the RT group and 298 in the NRT group. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between two groups using log-rank test. Nomogram prediction model was established, the survival differences were compared among different risk groups, and the radiotherapy benefit populations were screened. Results:Univariate analysis showed that the 5- and 8-year OS and DFS in the RT group were significantly better than those in the NRT group (both P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age, tumor quadrant, number of lymph node metastases, T staging, and Ki-67 level were the independent prognostic factors for OS. Age, tumor quadrant, and T staging were the independent prognostic factors for DFS. The OS nomogram analysis showed that the OS of patients in the high-risk group was significantly improved by post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) ( P=0.001), while PMRT did not show an advantage in the low- and medium-risk groups ( P=0.057, P=0.099). The DFS nomogram analysis showed that DFS was significantly improved by PMRT in patients in the medium- and high-risk groups ( P=0.036, P=0.001), whereas the benefits from PMRT were not significant in the low-risk group ( P=0.475). Conclusions:For patients with pT 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer after mastectomy, age ≤ 40 years, tumor located in the inner quadrant or central area, T 2 staging, 2-3 lymph node metastases, Ki-67>30% are the high-risk factors affecting clinical prognosis. The nomogram prediction model can screen the populations that can benefit from PMRT, providing reference for clinical decision-making.

Objective: To investigate the environmental contamination of norovirus in nurseries and primary/secondary schools, so as to provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and control measures. Methods: A total of 483 external environmental samples were collected from 34 cluster outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools in Linhai City from 2021 to 2024. Pathogen detection was conducted using a rapid nucleic acid extraction kit and realtime fluorescence RT-PCR, and the results were analyzed using the χ2 test or Fishers exact test. Results: Among the collected external environmental samples, the total positive rate of surface contamination was 13.66%. The positive rates in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools were 12.20% and 15.82%, respectively. In kindergartens, the five surfaces with the highest detection rates were desks/chairs (23.33%), toilet stool troughs (20.69%), urinal troughs (12.00%), washbasins/sinks (11.11%), and toilet mops (9.38%). In primary/secondary schools, the top five were toilet stool troughs (38.30%), urinal troughs (23.53%), toilet door handles (13.04%), toilet mops (12.50%), and drinking cups (11.11%). The difference in positive detection rates among different external environments in primary/secondary schools was statistically significant (Fishers exact probability test, P<0.01). The positive detection rate in sanitary toilets was higher than that in classroom environments (χ2=17.38), while the positive detection rate in classroom environments of kindergartens was higher than that in primary/secondary schools (χ2=5.42)(P<0.05). Conclusions Norovirus exhibits a high contamination rate in nurseries and schools, particularly in restroom areas. Strengthening sanitation and disinfection in highrisk environments, and improving hygiene awareness among children and staff, are essential for the effective prevent and control of norovirus.

Objective:To analyze the metabolic mechanism of papillary thyroid cancer(PTC) in normal and Hashimoto′s thyroiditis(HT) background, and to explore the relationship between HT and PTC.Methods:This study included a matched sample set collected from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between January 2018 and January 2019, consisting of PTC and paracancular tissue from 31 cases with coexisting HT(HT group), and 30 cases without(NC group), all confirmed pathologically following thyroidectomy. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with mixed four-stage poles time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was employed to acquire data from the samples. Metabolite differences between the two groups were compared, aiming to identify distinct metabolic mechanisms of PTC under different backgrounds. Metabolic pathway analysis was conducted using Metabo-Analyst 5.0 to explore relevant metabolic pathways.Results:The HT group and NC group shared 7 common differentially expressed metabolites, including arginine, glutamic acid, cysteine, citric acid, malic acid, uracil, and taurine. Logistic regression model combined with receiver operating characteristic(ROC) analysis of these 7 biomarkers yielded excellent discriminatory capacity for PTC(area under ROC curve of HT group and NC group were 0.867 and 0.973, respectively). The common metabolic pathways were taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, alanine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and glutamine and glutamic acid metabolism. The specific metabolic pathways in HT group were aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism.Conclusion:The metabolic profiles of thyroid cancer exhibit significant differences between cases with normal backgrounds and those with HT. The specific pathways for PTC and HT are aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis and the metabolism of glycine, serine, and threonine.
