Objective To analyze a case of violations by an occupational medical examination (OME) institution and to explore the key control points for the supervision and management of OME institutions, as well as the core role of quality assessment in this context. Methods An OME institution suspected of illegal activities was used as the study subject. Retrospective analysis was conducted. Clues of suspected violations were identified by an on-site quality assessment. After investigation and verification by the local health authorities, legal action was taken against the institution for its violations. Results During an on-site quality assessment, the Guangdong Province OME quality control expert group discovered that the OME institution violated regulations, including unqualified personnel file, exceeding the scope of services category, issuing false reports, failing to report suspected occupational diseases on time, and failing to notify workers about suspected occupational diseases as required. The evidence was then submitted to the Guangdong Province OME Quality Control Center, which subsequently forwarded the case to local health administration department for filing and investigation. After the investigation, penalties were imposed on the OME institution for its illegal activities. Conclusion The key supervision and inspection points in the quality assessment of OME institutions include personnel file configuration, the quality control management system and its implementation, the quality of OME reports, and information reporting. Quality assessment plays a pivotal role in ensuring the legal and compliant practice of OME institutions, safeguarding the health rights and interests of workers, and enhancing the overall standard of the OME industry.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C₀), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug‍-‍drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

The effect of aspirin eugenol ester(AEE)on the metabolism of rats was investigated to provide theoretical references for the clinical rational use of the drug.Firstly,the appropriate con-centration of AEE suspension was prepared.Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:the normal group,the AEE low-dose group(18 mg/kg),and the AEE high-dose group(72 mg/kg).The rats in the dosing group were dosed once daily,and the Wistar rats in the normal group were dosed once daily with an equal volume of 0.5％sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution.The feces and urine were collected after 7 days of continuous gavage,and the feces and urine were ana-lyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spec-trometry(UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS)for non-targeted metabolomics and Metabo Analyst 5.0 was used for metabolic pathway enrichment.The results showed that the dose of AEE selected in this experiment was not toxic to the growth of rats.The results of the metabolomics study found that 10 and 8 differential metabolites were identified in rat feces and urine,respectively,involving meta-bolic pathways such as phenylalanine,tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis,phenylalanine metabo-lism,steroid hormone biosynthesis,biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids,aminosugar and nucleo-tide sugar metabolism,fatty acid biosynthesis,and β-alanine metabolism.AEE had no significant effect on the body weight of rats(P＞0.05),but AEE could affect the metabolism of rat organ-ism.Fecal metabolites were mainly involved in metabolic pathways including unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis,tyrosine metabolism,fatty acid biosynthesis,and steroid hormone biosynthesis;urina-ry metabolites were mainly involved in metabolic pathways including purine metabolism,fatty acid biosynthesis,arginine,and proline metabolism.Therefore,the metabolic effects of AEE on rats are mainly closely related to the regulation of lipid metabolism,amino acid metabolism,and energy metabolism.The results of this experiment can provide some references for the efficacy and clinical application of AEE in animals.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli（ETEC）infection can induce watery diarrhea，leading to dehydration，electrolyte disturbance，and even death in severe cases. Recombinant B subunit/inactivated whole-cell cholera（rBS/WC）vaccine is effective in preventing ETEC infectious diarrhea. On the basis of the latest evidence on etiology and epidemiology of ETEC，as well as the effectiveness，safety，and health economics of rBS/WC vaccine，National Clinical Research Center for Child Health（The Children’s Hospital，Zhejiang University School of Medicine）and Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention invited experts to develop expert consensus on rBS/WC vaccine in prevention of ETEC infectious diarrhea. It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic characteristics of population with gout achieving treat-to-target (T2T) indicators through real-world research and evaluate their safety.Methods:A total of 3 287 patients diagnosed with gout by rheumatologists in 21 first-class tertiary hospitals in 10 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China from January 2015 to December 2021 were included in this polycentric cross-sectional study. The database included patients′ general information, disease characteristics, and clinical application of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment measures. SPSS and Excel software were used for data analysis. Frequency analysis, cluster analysis, and factor analysis were used to summarize the characteristics and rules of treatment measures for patients with gout who achieved the target after treatment. The occurrence of adverse events (AE) was recorded during treatment.Results:After treatment, 691 visits (7%) achieved the serum urate (SUA) target, and the most frequent use of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) was febuxostat, followed by benzbromarone. The most common treatment options were following: GroupⅠ: traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction-TCM external treatment-physical exercise-proprietary Chinese medicine; GroupⅡ: ferulic acid-nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); Group Ⅲ: allopurinol-sodium bicarbonate-benzbromarone; Group Ⅳ: glucocorticoid-colchicine; Group Ⅴ: febuxostat. A total of 5 898 visits (60%) chieved manifestations of joint pain VAS scores target, and the most frequently used drug to control joint symptoms was NSAIDs. The frequency of use of drugs to control joint symptoms were 2 118 times (usage rate reached 35.9%), while the frequency of ULT were 2 504 times (usage rate reached 42.5%), which was higher than the joint symptom control drug. The most common treatment options were following: Group Ⅰ: proprietary Chinese medicine-TCM decoction-TCM external treatment-physical exercise; Group Ⅱ: NSAIDs-colchicine hormones; Group Ⅲ: allopurinol, Group Ⅳ: benzbromarone; Group Ⅴ: febuxostat. A total of 59 adverse events occurred during treatment.Conclusion:The proportions of gout patients who reach target serum urate level & good control of joint symptoms are both very low, and ULT and anti-inflammatory prescription patterns are very different from international guidelines, so it is necessary to strengthen the standardized management of gout patients. At the same time, life intervention measures account for a certain proportion of the treatment plans for the T2T population, and further exploration is needed.

Objective:To summarize the patient profiles and therapeutic efficacies of ABO-incompatible living-related kidney transplantations at 19 domestic transplant centers and provide rationales for clinical application of ABOi-KT.Methods:Clinical cases of ABO-incompatible/compatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT/ABOc-KT) from December 2006 to December 2009 were collected. Then, statistical analyses were conducted from the aspects of tissue matching, perioperative managements, complications and survival rates of renal allograft or recipients.Results:Clinical data of 342 ABOi-KT and 779 ABOc-KT indicated that (1) no inter-group differences existed in age, body mass index (BMI), donor-recipient relationship or waiting time of pre-operative dialysis; (2) ABO blood type: blood type O recipients had the longest waiting list and transplantations from blood type A to blood type O accounted for the largest proportion; (3) HLA matching: no statistical significance existed in mismatch rate or positive rate of PRA I/II between two types of surgery; (4) CD20 should be properly used on the basis of different phrases; (5) hemorrhage was a common complication during an early postoperative period and microthrombosis appeared later; (6) no difference existed in postoperative incidence of complications or survival rate of renal allograft and recipients at 1/3/5/10 years between ABOi-KT and ABOc-KT. The acute rejection rate and serum creatinine levels of ABOi-KT recipients were comparable to those of ABOc-KT recipients within 1 year.Conclusions:ABOi-KT is both safe and effective so that it may be applied at all transplant centers as needed.

Objective To explore the clinical value of laparoscopic ventral rectopexy for rectal prolapse.Methods From Jan 2013 to Jan 2017,26 patients with complete rectal prolapse were divided into control group (15 patients) undergoing laparoscopic rectal fixation,and 11 patients in study group were treated with rectal ventral fixation.Results There was no significant difference in operation time,bleeding volume and exhaust time between the two groups (t =1.839,0.138,0.932,all P ＞ 0.05).In the study group,2 cases had temporarily postoperative fever.Following up for 12 to 36 months,1 case recurred in the control group and 1 case in the study group.The length of rectal prolapse was about 2 cm.Of the 7 patients with constipation in the control group,symptoms disappeared in 2 cases,symptoms improved in another 2 cases,and 5 cases had new constipation.Of the 4 patients with anal incontinence,2 cases had recovered and 1 case had symptoms improved.Among the 6 patients with constipation in the study group,symptoms disappeared in 3 cases,symptoms improved in 2 cases.Of the 3 patients with pelvic prolapse,2 cases recovered and 1 case improved.The pelvic prolapse and constipation in the study group was less severe than that in the control group (x2 =4.909,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic rectal ventral fixation for the treatment of complete rectal prolapse is less traumatic,safor and more effective.

Objective To analyze clinical characteristics of severe community-acquired pneumonia during pregnancy and its outcomes, and to explore the relevant risk factors. Methods From September 2012 to September 2017,324 398 pregnancies admitted in 7 tertiary hospitals were included. Clinical data of 33 cases of pregnancies with severe community-acquired pneumonia(severe pneumonia group)and 214 cases of pregnancies with common community-acquired pneumonia (control group) were reviewed retrospectively, including the clinical information, manifestations, laboratory examinations and pregnancy outcomes. Relevant risk factors were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results (1) General data: pregnancies with severe community-acquired pneumonia accounted for 0.010%(33/324 398) of hospitalized pregnancies, the gestational age of two groups were(28±8)and(23±8)weeks, body mass index were(21.7±2.1)and(25.5±3.4)kg/m2, rate of low income were 54.5%(18/33)and 31.8%(68/214), respectively. The differences between two groups were all statistically significant(all P<0.05). No significant differences were found in age, pregnancy and parity times, rate of main pregnant complications such as diabetes and hypertension, educational level, asthma and onset seasons between two groups(all P>0.05). (2)Clinical data: the severe pneumonia group had significantly higher incidence of fever [100.0%(33/33)vs 75.2%(161/214)], shortness of breath(90.9% vs 16.8%)compared with the control group(all P<0.05).The median peripheral leukocytes counts were 12.3×109/L and 10.2×109/L, the hemoglobin level were(84±18) and(107±14)g/L,the albumin level were(26±4)and(37±3)g/L, the median serum urea nitrogen level were 3.7 and 2.4 mmol/L,the serum creatinine level were(72±25)and(45±11)μmol/L, respectively in two groups. The differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). No significantly statistical differences were found in coagulation indicator and cardiac function between two groups(all P>0.05).(3) Treatments: in severe pneumonia group, 12 patients(36.4%,12/33)needed invasive mechanical ventilation, 9 patients(27.3%,9/33)needed non-invasive mechanical ventilation, average time of mechanical ventilation was(7±4)days;8 patients(24.2%,8/33)with septic shock needed vasoactive drugs. However, there was no patient in control group needing mechanical ventilation and vasoactive drugs.(4)Pregnant outcomes: one patient(3.0%,1/33)died in the severe pneumonia group, while no death occurred in the control group. The hospital stay between two groups were(15.1±4.1)and(7.0±1.9)days, the rates of abortion and stillbirth between two groups were 42.4%(14/33)and 3.3%(7/214), the rates of premature were 10/19 and 6.3% (13/207), the rates of cesarean were 15/19 and 43.0%(89/207), the rates of low birth weight newborn were 17/19 and 14.0%(29/207), the rates of infected newborn were 15/19 and 10.1%(21/207), the birth weights were(2 165±681)and(3 102±400)g, respectively. The differences between two groups were all statistically significant(all P<0.05).(5)Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that anemia, low body mass index, hypoproteinemia were risk factors for severe pneumonia in pregnancy(all P<0.05). Conclusions Pregnancy with severe community-acquired pneumonia may be complicated by multiple organ dysfunctions, lead to adverse outcomes. Anemia, malnutrition are risk factors for pregnancy with severe pneumonia. Active and effective treatment may improve its prognosis.

Objective To investigate the CT imaging features of basal cell adenoma in the parotid gland and thus to improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy.Methods The clinical materials and image findings of 8 cases with parotid basal cell tumor,which were proved by pathology,were retrospectively studied.Results All 8 patients had solitary BCA lesion,which involved both the superficial and deep lobe(n =1) and located at the superficial lobe of parotid gland(n =7).All the 6 tumors were clear boundary and round shape without lobular appearance.The diameters of the max lesions ranged from 10.3-27.6 mm.CT scan showed that all lesions were solid nodules with uniform or uneven density.Cystic degeneration was displayed in 5 lesions,among them,cystic area was ≥90％ in 1 lesion.At enhanced scanning phase,most tumors showed a strong enhancement at the arterial phase and a pattern of persistent strong enhancement or slow decline at the venous phase.Conclusion The multi-slice CT imaging features of BCA in parotid gland are characteristic,which is helpful to make qualitative diagnosis in combination with clinical materials.
