Conclusion:After the pharmacist intervention, the application of antibiotics is more rational, the antibiotics use density and per capita cost are reduced, the hospitalization day is shortened and the value of pharmacists is also improved.

Objective To explore the expression of mocro RNA(miR)-142-5p and suppressor of cytokine signaling 1(SOCS1)mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)of mice and clinical patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS)and their impact on immune function.Methods The mRNA levels of miR-142-5p and SOCS1 in PBMC of 30 patients with AS(Patient group)and 30 healthy controls(Health group)treated in the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu from January 2022 to March 2023 were measured by quantitative real time PCR(qRT-PCR).AS mice models were induced by bovine proteoglycan combined with complete Freund's adjuvant,and these mice were divided into control group,model group,NC group and antagomir group.Normal saline was injected into tail vein in control group and model group,and NC-antagomir and miR-142-5p-antagomir were injected into tail vein in NC group and antagomir group,respectively.After 2 weeks of treatment,the arthritis symptom scores of mice in each group were evaluated.The morphology of ankle joint was evaluated by hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining.The levels of Th1 cytokine interferon-γ(IFN-γ),Th2 cytokine interleukin-4(IL-4),Th17 cytokine interleukin-17(IL-17)and Treg cytokine forkhead box protein P3(FOXP3)in PBMC of mice were detected by ELISA method.The mRNA and protein expression of miR-142-5p,SOCS1,IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-17 and FOXP3 in PBMC and ankle joints were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot.Results Compared with Health group,the level of miR-142-5p in PBMC of patient group was increased(1.00±0.21 vs 3.03±0.99,t=10.997,P＜0.001),while the level of SOCS1 mRNA was decreased(1.00±0.18 vs 0.41±0.09,t=15.956,P＜0.001).Compared with control group,miR-142-5p level(1.00±0.04 vs 4.00±0.52)and the mRNA and protein levels of IFN-γ and IL-17 in ankle joint tissue of model group were increased,while the mRNA and protein levels of SOCS1,IL-4 and FOXP3 were decreased,with significant differences(t=23.356,31.420,48.056,47.224,38.035,29.007,54.183,28.123,55.155,26.758,45.346,all P＜0.05).The arthritis symptom score was increased(7.83±0.94 vs 0.00±0.00,t=22.212,P＜0.05),and the ankle joint structure was damaged.Serum IFN-γ,IL-17 levels,IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio(0.81±0.08 vs 2.08±0.33)and IL-17/FOXP3 ratio(0.41±0.03 vs 1.27±0.10)were increased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=15.382,35.779,8.934,35.130,all P＜0.05).Compared with NC group,miR-142-5p level(3.89±0.33 vs 1.47±0.10),the mRNA and protein levels of IFN-γ and IL-17 in ankle joint tissue of antagomir group were decreased,while the mRNA and protein levels of SOCS1,IL-4 and FOXP3 were increased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=18.846,22.969,43.454,32.617,23.259,20.881,41.832,11.994,32.977,15.190,35.834,all P＜0.05).The arthritis symptom score was decreased(7.42±1.24 vs 2.75±0.75,t=13.233,P＜0.05),and the shape of the ankle joint of the rats was improved.Serum IFN-γ,IL-17 levels,IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio(1.22±0.11 vs 1.91±0.19)and IL-17/FOXP3 ratio(0.69±0.05 vs 1.23±0.12)were decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=8.688,22.972,3.785,22.007,all P＜0.05).Conclusion MiR-142-5p was highly expressed in AS.Down-regulation of miR-142-5p using antagonists may reduce Th1/Th2 ratio and Th17/Treg ratio through up-regulation of SOCS1,there by improving the immune balance of AS mice and inhibiting the progression of AS.

Objective To summarize and analyze the perioperative complications of irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation in treating tumors at different locations and to discuss their managements. Methods A total of 200 patients with tumors, including pancreatic tumor (n=71), liver tumor (n=64) and other tumors (n =65), were enrolled in this study. All patients received IRE ablation treatment. The perioperative complications were recorded and the data were statistically analyzed. The causes of severe complications and the treatment of complications were discussed. Results None of the patients died during the course of IRE ablation procedure. Severe postoperative complications occurred in the patients with pancreatic tumor or liver tumor, including duodenal artery bleeding in 3 patients with pancreatic tumor, which occurred at 10 days, 11 days and 15 days after IRE ablation respectively, and gastrointestinal bleeding (n =1) and biliary septic shock (n=1) in 2 patients with liver tumor, which occurred at 9 days after IRE ablation, the clinical symptoms were controlled after interventional embolization and/or vascular ligation together with anti-infective therapy. All minor complications were relieved after symptomatic treatment within 14 days. Conclusion IRE ablation has less systemic inflammatory response, and both the intraoperative and postoperative adverse reactions can be easily controlled, besides, IRE ablation has higher clinical safety. Although IRE ablation procedure may damage the internal or peripheral vessels of the pancreatic tumor, this severe complications can be effectively avoided if proper measures are adopted based on the causes of complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), laparoscopy, and laparotomy in the treatment of pancreatic duct stones (PDS) by collecting related clinical data, to summarize the experience in selecting treatment regimens for PDS, and to further explore feasible treatment regimens that could maximize and optimize the benefits of PDS patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 131 PDS patients who were treated in Gongli Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University from June 2014 to December 2018, and according to the surgical procedure, they were divided into ERCP group with 69 patients, laparoscopy group with 32 patients, and laparotomy group with 30 patients. Related indices were monitored before and after treatment, and surgical outcome was compared between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group. The independent samples t -test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t -test or the SNK- q test was used for further comparison between two groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data with skewed distribution between two groups, and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups. An repeated measures analysis of variance and the Friedman test were used for comparison of related indices before and after surgery, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. Results Among the 131 PDS patients, there were 40 patients with type Ⅰ PDS, 76 with type Ⅱ PDS, and 15 with type Ⅲ PDS. There was no significant difference in the distribution of main surgical methods between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group ( χ 2 =1.93, P > 0.05). There were significant differences between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group in the dynamic changes of white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance after surgery ( F =24.68, χ 2 =227.66, F =45.37, F =106.71, all P < 0.05). Compared with the laparotomy group, the laparoscopy group had significantly shorter time of operation, significantly lower intraoperative blood loss, significantly shorter time to first flatus after surgery, a significantly lower frequency of use of pain-relieving drugs, shorter time to extraction of abdominal drainage tube, lower incidence rates of short-term postoperative complications, and a significantly shorter length of postoperative hospital stay ( t =-4.80, t =-9.43, Z =-6.78, t =-11.59, Z =-6.77, χ 2 =9.24, t =-3.60, all P < 0.05). The incidence rate of short-term postoperative complications was 24.64% in the ERCP group, 28.13% in the laparoscopy group, and 66.67% in the laparotomy group, with a significant difference between groups ( χ 2 =17.12, P < 0.05), and the ERCP group and the laparoscopy group had a significantly lower incidence rate of short-term postoperative complications than the laparotomy group ( χ 2 =15.78 and 9.24, P < 0.05 and P =0.02). The treatment response rate was 91.30% in the ERCP group, 93.75% in the laparoscopy group, and 73.33% in the laparotomy group, with a significant difference between the three groups ( χ 2 =7.70, P =0.02), and the ERCP group and the laparoscopy group had a significantly better response rate than the laparotomy group ( χ 2 =5.56 and 4.77, P =0.02 and 0.03). Conclusion ERCP is the preferred method for minimally invasive treatment of some patients with type Ⅰ/Ⅱ PDS and is safe and effective with few serious complications. Surgical operation is an important method for the treatment of complex PDS, but with complicated techniques and difficult operation. Compared with laparotomy, laparoscopy has the advantages of small trauma, few serious complications, and high abdominal pain remission rate and can significantly shorten the time of operation, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and shorten the length of postoperative hospital stay. Therefore, laparoscopy should be the preferred regimen for the treatment of complex PDS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the etiology and epidemiological characteristics of pneumonia in children of different ages, to better characterize the co-infection patterns of pneumonia and their association with severe diseases. MethodsChildren aged 28 days to 13 years with pneumonia who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics, Dongyang People's Hospital, Zhejiang Province from April 1 to December 28, 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Oropharynx swabs were collected from the patients within 24 hours of hospital admission, and PCR tests were conducted for 18 respiratory pathogens. Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the status of viral and bacterial infection, patterns of co-infection in patients with different ages, and the risk factors for the outcome of severe pneumonia. ResultsA total of 2 191 hospitalized children with pneumonia were enrolled in the study. Severe cases were more common in children aged 5 years and older (53.3%) and in the second quarter of the year (46.5%). An average of (1.31±0.90) pathogens were detected in severe cases. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (44.4%, 973 cases) had the highest detection rate of pathogens. Streptococcus pneumoniae (21.7%, 476 cases) and rhinovirus (10.1%, 222 cases) were the most common bacteria and viruses, respectively, in hospitalized children with pneumonia in Dongyang City. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated positive interactions between different viral and bacterial pathogens. The adjusted OR (aOR) values for different respiratory pathogens in children with severe pneumonia varied significantly (all P<0.04). Among them, Chlamydia pneumoniae (aOR=9.74, 95%CI=2.36‒49.32, P<0.01), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (aOR=2.62, 95%CI=2.04‒3.37, P<0.01), and RSV (aOR=1.69, 95%CI=1.12‒2.54, P<0.01) were the risk factors for severe pneumonia. ConclusionIn the pathogen spectrum of children with pneumonia in Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province from April to December 2023, most viruses and bacteria exhibited positive interactions. Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and RSV maybe the significant risk factors for severe pneumonia.
