OBJECTIVE To investigate the working pressure of return-working postpartum hospital pharmacists, analyze the influential factors, and find the suitable strategy to relieve the working pressure of postpartum pharmacists. METHODS By the means of general information questionnaire, working pressure questionnaire and self-rating depression scale, the data of postpartum pharmacists were surveyed with sampling survey to investigate the working-pressure situation. The main influential factors of the postpartum working pressure were analyzed by multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 281 valid questionnaires were collected from 84 different hospitals, with effective rate of 88.64%. The total score of working pressure for 281 postpartum pharmacists who were back to position was (79.80±23.06) (total score of 155). However, 51.60% of return-working postpartum pharmacists showed depressive state (≥53). The depression status was positively correlated with working pressure. Family support, frequency of physical exercise, and ideal personnel care were all negatively associated with working pressure. CONCLUSIONS The working pressure of return-working postpartum pharmacists is at a moderate level. Depression, family support, ideal personnel care, and frequency of physical exercise are the main influential factors.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether matrine exerts improvement effect on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice by regulating ferroptosis pathway. METHODS Totally 30 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into normal group, model group and matrine group, with 10 mice in each group. Model group and matrine group were given antigen emulsion containing inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis and MOG35-55 to induce EAE model. Matrine group was injected with Matrine injection (50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally since the 7th day after immunization; normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intraperitoneally, once a day, since 18th day after immunization. The neurofunctional score of mice was recorded, and hematoxylin and eosin staining and Luxol fast blue staining were used to observe inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination in spinal cord tissue. The quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blot assay were performed to determine the mRNA expressions of transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) and hephaestin (Heph), and the protein expressions of system Xc- (xCT) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4). RESULTS Compared with normal group, accumulative neurofunctional score was significantly increased in model group (P<0.01); inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination were obvious in spinal cord tissue, and related scores were increased significantly (P<0.01). The mRNA expressions of TFR1 and NCOA4 in myelin tissue were up-regulated significantly, while the mRNA expression of Heph and the protein expressions of xCT and GPx4 were down-regulated significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, above indexes of matrine group were all improved significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Matrine can improve EAE mice, the mechanism of which may be associated with regulating iron metabolism pathway and xCT/GPx4 pathway in ferroptosis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) followed by belimumab (BLM) in patients with severe systemic lupus erythematosus(SSLE). METHODS Nine SSLE patients, who were treated with RTX followed by BLM for more than 6 months in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2020 to June 2021, were enrolled. Baseline clinical data of patients, laboratory examination results and basic treatment status at weeks 0, 4, 12, and 24 of medication were collected retrospectively. The patients’ systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score, glucocorticoid dosage and serological indicators (complement C3, complement C4, serum albumin, and 24-hour urine protein quantification) level were analyzed. At the same time, the occurrence of adverse drug reaction was collected. RESULTS All 9 patients completed more than 24 weeks of RTX followed by BLM therapy. All patients suffered from renal impairment, of which 7 (77.8%) had renal pathology support, 3(33.3%) had blood system damage and 2 (22.2%) had nervous system damage. During treatment, with the prolongation of treatment time, the SLEDAI score, 24- hour urinary protein quantification, and glucocorticoid dosage of patients showed a significant downward trend, and ultimately decreased to the normal index level (P<0.05); serum albumin, complement C3 and complement C4 all showed a significant upward trend, eventually rose to the normal index level (P<0.05). During treatment and follow-up, 1 patient developed herpes zoster, 1 patient developed upper respiratory tract virus infection, and 1 patient developed urinary system bacterial infection. All patients recovered after symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSIONS In sequential use of RTX followed by BLM for SSLE, early administration of RTX can quickly stabilizethe condition, significantly alleviate clinical symptoms, and gradually normalize specific serological indicators; subsequent administration of BLM can reduce the type and dosage of basic treatment drugs; there is no increase in the incidence of adverse drug reactions.
