IgG4⁃related sialadenitis (IgG4⁃RS) is a type of autoimmune disease that has been recognized in recent years, and the pathogenesis remains unclear. IgG4⁃RS mainly affects the submandibular gland and parotid gland and is characterized by diffuse painless swelling of the bilateral salivary glands and/or lacrimal glands, usually lasting more than 3 months. Some patients have accompanying hearing loss or hearing impairment, sinusitis, lymphadenopathy and other symptoms; nearly half of patients have different degrees of salivary gland secretion disorders. Most patients have elevated serum IgG4 levels, but they cannot be used as the only marker for diagnosis. Histopathology remains the“gold standard”for diagnosis. Presently, submandibular gland biopsy is often used for diagnosis. Histopathology showed lym⁃phoplasmacytic infiltration, occlusive phlebitis, striated fibrosis; immunohistochemistry showed IgG4 + /IgG + plasma cells >40%, and IgG4 + plasma cell/high⁃power field vision > 10. Glucocorticoids are regarded as first⁃line drugs for the treat⁃ment of this disease. Clinically, glucocorticoids are often combined with immunosuppressive agents such as cyclophos⁃phamide, but no standard drug regimen exists. Most patients have a significant short⁃term treatment effect, and the long⁃term prognosis requires further study. Patients with a recurrence tendency should adjust the hormone dose over time. In the future, further research is needed regarding the pathogenesis and treatment of the disease to improve the clinical di⁃agnosis rate and therapeutic effect.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists on the individualized treatment of children with subglottic Talaromyces marneffei infection. METHODS :The clinical pharmacists participated in the medication procedure for a case of subglottic T. marneffei infection child . The clinical pharmacists suggested that Budesonide suspension for inhalation should be stopped,according to the subglottic infection pathogen type (T. marneffei );Itraconazole oral solution should be chosen and taken orally 2.5 mg/kg,q12 h,and indicators as liver function ,blood potassium should be monitored regularly. However ,as Itraconazole oral solution needed to be applied for temporary purchase ,Itraconazole capsules 2.5 mg/kg,q12 h,p.o.,was administrated temporarily ;clinical pharmacists suggested that Itraconazole capsules should be taken after meal ,and the doctor changed the feeding mode of milk from q 4 h to continuous pumping. After purchased ,Itraconazole oral solution was used instead 2.5 mg/kg,q12 h in fasting state ,and according the clinical pharmacist ’s suggestion ,the doctor changed the nursing method to q 4 h milk pumping. After purchasing and using oral solution instead ,clinical pharmacists suggested taking it at fasting state ;according to the monitoring results and target range (0.5-1 mg/L),oral dose of Itraconazole oral solution was finally adjusted to 8.3 mg/kg, q12 h. In view of the diarrhea during the treatment ,clinical pharmacists suggested to continue the original treatment after considering the effectiveness and importance of the treatment ;at the same time ,discharge medication education should be carried out. RESULTS : The doctors adopted the suggestions of the clinical pharmacists. The child got a clinical improvement and was discharged after 48 days. CONCLUSIONS :Clinical pharmacists participate in the treatment of children with T. marneffei infection,timely assist physicians to adjust and improve the medication regimen ,which improve the efficacy and safety of medication for children.

【Objective】 To introduce the key techniques of "one-cut" circumcision, and to compare its clinical efficacy with traditional circumcision. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 cases of circumcision in our center during Jul.2020 and Jul.2022, including 60 cases in the "one-cut" group and 60 cases in the traditional circumcision group. The operation time, postoperative edema time, satisfaction with cosmetics and improvement of sexual life were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 Compared with the tradition group, the "one-cut" group had shorter operation time [(19.2±7.4) min vs. (23.1±1.7) min, P<0.001] , shorter postoperative edema time [(5.5±3.2) d vs. (9.6±5.5) d, P<0.001] , and higher satisfaction with cosmetics [(3.6±0.5) vs. (3.1±0.8), P<0.001)] , but there was no difference in improvement of sexual life between the two groups (P=0.08). 【Conclusion】 "One-cut" circumcision is easy to operate, with short operation time, fast postoperative recovery, neat incision and satisfactory appearance, which is worth popularizing.
