OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax and its influencing factors in patients with acute myeloid leukemia （AML）. METHODS After 5 days of venetoclax administration， venous blood samples were collected from AML patients before the next dose. Plasma trough concentrations of venetoclax were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Spearman correlation was used to assess the correlations between venetoclax plasma trough concentration and various parameters （including patients’ general information， venetoclax-related indicators， liver function indicators， kidney function indicators， and blood routine indicators）. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Using efficacy as dependent variable [complete remission （CR）+partial remission （PR） vs. no remission （NR）]， univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors affecting efficacy. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of venetoclax plasma trough concentration for clinical efficacy （assessed as CR）. RESULTS A total of 172 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 101 patients were included in this study. The median plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 2.38 （1.18， 3.85） μg/mL； the median sampling time for plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 10 （7， 15） d； the duration of venetoclax use was （34±12） d. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that alkaline phosphatase （ B ＝14.65， 95%CI： 5.35-23.95， P ＝0.002）， total bilirubin （ B ＝－101.71， 95%CI： －197.16 to －6.25， P ＝0.037）， and white blood cell count （ B ＝－106.84， 95%CI： －187.61 to －26.07， P ＝0.010） were independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Due to patient attrition during treatment， 114 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 69 patients were included for efficacy evaluation. The results showed that 46 patients （66.7%） achieved CR， 11 patients （15.9%） achieved PR， and 12 patients （17.4%） were NR. Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age， hemoglobin， venetoclax plasma trough concentration， hematocrit， and mean corpuscular hemoglobin were independent factors affecting patient efficacy （ P ＜0.05）. ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax for predicting patient efficacy （assessed as CR） was 1.68 μg/mL （AUC＝0.66， 95%CI： 0.54-0.78， P ＝0.014）. CONCLUSIONS There is considerable inter-individual variability in plasma trough concentration of venetoclax among AML patients. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase， total bilirubin， and white blood cell count. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is an independent factor affecting patient’s efficacy， and when the cut-off value for predicting CR is above 1.68 μg/mL， better effects may be achieved.

Objective:To analyze the expression level of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in pancreatic cancer tissues and its correlation with prognosis using bioinformatics methods, and to explore its potential mechanisms.Methods:Expression analysis of the PRMTs family members was performed based on the gene expression profiles of 178 pancreatic cancer tissues from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database and 171 normal pancreatic tissues from the TCGA and GTEx databases. Using the median expression level of PRMTs family members in pancreatic cancer tissues as the cutoff, patients were divided into high-expression and low-expression groups, and Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were plotted. The correlation between PRMT5 expression and the expression of oncogenes such as KRAS, TP53, BRCA1, BRCA2, and SLC39A4 was analyzed. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted on genes similar to PRMT5, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to analyze the interaction relationships among these similar genes. Pancreatic cancer PANC1 and AsPC-1 cells cultured in standard medium served as the control group, while PANC1 and AsPC-1 cells cultured in medium supplemented with the PRMT5 inhibitor EPZ015666 served as the intervention group. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, and cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:The expression level of PRMT5 in pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal pancreatic tissues and showed a significant negative correlation with both OS and DFS. Patients with high PRMT5 expression had a shorter median survival time compared to those with low expression (17.2 months vs 19.5 months). PRMT5 expression was significantly positively correlated with the expression of oncogenes KRAS, TP53, BRCA1, BRCA2, SLC39A4, and KLF5. Genes similar to PRMT5 were primarily enriched in cell cycle-related signaling pathways, and NOP58 identified as a hub gene in the PPI network. Compared to the control group, the proliferation activity of PANC1 and AsPC-1 cells in the intervention group was significantly reduced [(67.3±1.9)% vs (100±4.4)% for PANC1; (60.5±2.7)% vs (100.0±1.7)% for AsPC-1], and the proportion of cells in the G1 phase was significantly increased [(51.6±0.7)% vs (35.3±2.7)% for PANC1; (51.2±0.9)% vs (29.7±2.2)% for AsPC-1]. All these differences were statistically significant (all P values <0.05). Conclusions:High expression of PRMT5 was closely associated with poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients, and it may contribute to pancreatic cancer progression by regulating the cell cycle.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different types and administration times of defoaming agents on the gastric vision clarity before magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on children who underwent MCE in Shanghai Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2017 to March 2023.Children were divided into three groups based on type of defoaming agents: the simethicone emulsion group (10 mL simethicone emulsion), the dimethicone powder group (5 g dimethicone powder dissolved in 30 mL warm water), and the dimethicone emulsion group (4 mL dimethicone emulsion dissolved in 10 mL water). Each group was further divided into 3 subgroups based on the time of administration before the examination: 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes, resulting in a total of 9 subgroups. The primary outcome measure was the gastric bubble score. Secondary outcomes included gastric cleanliness score, examination time, gastric transit time (GTT), diagnostic efficacy, and safety assessment.Results:A total of 180 children (20 per group) were included in the study. The gastric bubble score (0.89 ± 0.35) and gastric cleanliness score (0.99 ± 0.52) in the 45-minutes subgroup of the dimethicone powder group were significantly lower than those in other groups, indicating better view clarity, with significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in examination time, GTT, or the positive detection rate of gastric diseases among the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Administration of defoaming agents before MCE can significantly reduce gastric bubbles and improve the view clarity of the gastric mucosa. The optimal regimen for children is taking 5 g dimethicone powder dissolved in 30 mL warm water 45 minutes before the examination.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations,risk factors,treatment strategies and clinical prevention feasibility of diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA)after coronary artery bypass transplantation(CABG).Methods Clinical data of 9 patients with ketoacidosis after CABG surgery treated and treated by CICU in the Intensive Care Unit of Cardiac Surgery in Nanjing Gulou Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,and the diagnosis and treatment process and short-term postoperative follow-up were conducted to evaluate the causes of ketoacidosis in order to obtain clinical characteristics.To provide early warning information for follow-up diagnosis and treatment,and to evaluate the effect of perioperative corrective treatment strategy on the short-term prognosis of patients.Results The median duration of DKA in the 9 patients was 2.6 days after surgery,and the clinically suggestive symptoms were tachyarrhythmia(8/9),hypotension(4/9),polyuria(6/9),intractable hyperglycemia(3/9),and derangation(5/9).Analysis of concomitant manifestations or risk factors were mainly the perioperative use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors(SGLT2i)(9/9),age＞60 years old.The main diagnosis was based on abnormal blood ketone and urine ketone.Blood gas analysis suggested metabolic acidosis,and BE showed serious negative performance.After early diagnosis,8 patients took the volumetric surplus strategy,and the average correction time was 5.6 days.One patient was slow to correct and eventually died from other types of severe complications.Conclusion Perioperative use of SGLT2-i drugs in CHD patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes is a high risk factor for DKA.The strategy of early diagnosis and parallel capacity surplus is an important way to correct DKA.

Fetal growth restriction(FGR)refers to the failure of a fetus to reach the level of growth potential determined by its genetic potential.It is a common obstetric complication,occurring in 5%to 10%of pregnancies.As a major risk factor for perinatal death and adverse neonatal outcomes,early prediction of FGR is crucial for optimizing pregnancy management.Existing evidence suggests that FGR is significantly associated with a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes,including intrauterine hypoxia,preterm birth,neonatal asphyxia,and even neonatal mortality.It may also affect long-term neurological development and increase the risk of metabolic diseases in adulthood.Its pathogenesis is complex,which may involve placental blood flow perfusion insufficiency and genetic factors.Ultrasound parameters are the main basis for the diagnosis of FGR,among which fetal biological and hemodynamic parameters are of great value.Elevated umbilical artery blood flow resistance index,absent or reversed end-diastolic blood flow,and placental insufficiency are associated with the severity of FGR.However,approximately 10%of fetuses diagnosed by ultrasound as having FGR are later confirmed to be healthy small-for-gestational-age(SGA)infants after birth,and this false positive result may lead to unnecessary clinical interventions.Currently,there is no recognized accurate prediction model for FGR in clinical practice.Future research should focus on establishing unified diagnostic criteria and developing multi-index joint prediction tools based on artificial intelligence(AI).Early prediction and intervention for FGR are of great significance to improve perinatal outcomes.This paper reviewed the predictive value of ultrasound parameters,blood indicators,and their integration with AI for FGR,in order to provide a basis for clinical decision-making.

Bone tissue engineering(BTE)is expected to be used as an autologous bone graft substitute for bone defects,and in the se-lection of BTE scaffold materials,collagen(Col)and hydroxyapatite(HA)have attracted attention due to their unique biomimetic ad-vantages.Collagen/hydroxyapatite(CHA)composite scaffolds made by combining the two have been shown to have excellent biocompat-ibility and bone-enhancing potential in various in vitro,in vivo,and clinical studies.With the development of three-dimensional(3D)printing technology in the field of tissue engineering,bone scaffolds constructed using 3D printing methods have been shown to possess superior clinical potential.This review describes new advances in 3D printed CHA composite scaffolds and introduces the application of 3D printed CHA scaffolds in oral and maxillofacial bone regenerative repair.

Cancer is one of the major diseases of high morbidity and mortality worldwide,and its therapeutic approaches are facing great challenges.Immunotherapy,especially the activation of innate immunity represented by the cGAS-STING signaling pathway,is the current research hotspot in tumor immunotherapy.Activation of innate immune response by gas therapy is the latest development in tumor therapeutic approaches,especially the use of gas signaling molecules(NOx CO,H2S and SO2)to activate the cGAS-STING signaling pathway to induce intrinsic immunity of the organism,which leads to anti-tumor immunotherapy.Although intrinsic immunity activated by gas signaling molecules plays an important role in tumor immunotherapy,few reviews have been reported on its association with the cGAS-STING signaling mechanism.In this paper,we will comprehensively describe how gas signaling molecules damage the mitochondrial matrix and DNA damage through oxidative/nitrosative stress,thereby activating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and triggering the innate immune cascade,aiming to summarize the process of activation of anti-tumor immune effects by gas signaling molecules,and to provide more references for the gas therapies in the future anti-tumor immunity research.
