OBJECTIVE:To improve high-alert medication management in our hospital. METHODS:According to assessment criteria of JCI,referring to the problems of high-alert medication management in our hospital,PDCA(plan,do,check,action)cy-cle method,reverse fishbone diagram and other methods were adopted to formulate and implement relevant countermeasures. Com-pliance rate of 29 departments was evaluated within 12 months after the implementation of countermeasures. RESULTS:Relevant emergency measures were formulated for 2 negative factors by reverse fishbone diagram;whole-course and orderly quality control of high-alert medication was conducted through establishing high-alert medication management institutions,formulating high-alert medication management system and quality measurement criteria,strengthening staff training and education,improving hospital in-formation system,etc. The compliance rate of departments increased from 53% in Jan. to 100% in Jun.(P<0.05),and kept sta-ble until Dec. CONCLUSIONS:PDCA cycle improves the systemization and standardization of high-alert medication management and multiple department cooperation,and contributes to the safety of drug use.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of IL-6 affecting the expression of CD73 on human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) and regulating their migration, adhesion and proliferation.Methods:Flow cytometry (FCM) and Western blot were used to analyze the effects of exogenous IL-6 or IL-6 secreted by hPMSCs on the expression of CD73 on hPMSCs. The influence of IL-6 on the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in hPMSCs was detected by monoclonal antibody blocking test and Western blot. Real-time cellular analysis (RTCA) was used to analyze the changes in the migration, adhesion and proliferation of hPMSCs after knockdown of CD73 expression or APCP pretreatment.Results:FCM and Western blot showed that both exogenous and autocrine IL-6 from hPMSCs promoted the expression of CD73 on hPMSCs ( P<0.001, P<0.01). Moreover, CD73 expression decreased significantly with the presence of IL-6R inhibitor ( P<0.01). IL-6 could up-regulate the levels of both p-STAT3 and CD73 in hPMSCs ( P<0.05, P<0.01), while CD73 expression decreased after adding STAT3 inhibitor ( P<0.01). RTCA showed that knockdown of CD73 expression on hPMSCs significantly inhibited the adhesion and proliferation ability of hPMSCs( P<0.01, P<0.05), but promoted the migration ability of hPMSCs ( P<0.05). Similarly, inhibiting the hydrolase activity of CD73 on hPMSCs by APCP also resulted in a significant decrease in the adhesion and proliferation capacities of hPMSCs, and an increase in the migration capacity of hPMSCs ( P<0.05). Conclusions:IL-6 enhanced the expression of CD73 on hPMSCs via the JAK/STAT3 pathway, thus affecting the migration, adhesion and proliferation of hPMSCs.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of human placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) in the inhibition of TNF-α secretion in CD4 + IFN-γ + T cells (Th1) through CD73/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) pathway to reduce liver injury in mice with graft versus-host disease (GVHD). Methods:Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to analyze the expression of TNF-α in Th1 cells and the expression of PD-1 on CD4 + IFN-γ + TNF-α + T cells (TNF-α + Th1 cells) isolated from peripheral blood and liver tissues of mice with GVHD. Hematoxylin-hosin (HE) staining, Masson staining and immunofluorescence staining were used to observe the pathological changes in liver tissues of GVHD mice in each group. HE staining was also used to observe the pathological changes in skin and lung tissues of GVHD mice. A nonconditional protocol to induce the differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into Th1 cells in vitro was established. The proportion of TNF-α + Th1 cells and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of Nrf2 and phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappa B (p-NF-κB) in this T cell subgroup were detected. Results:Compared with the normal control group, the proportion of TNF-α + Th1 cells and the expression of PD-1 on this T cells in peripheral blood and liver tissues of mice in the GVHD high group increased significantly ( P<0.01). The proportion of TNF-α + Th1 cells in peripheral blood and liver tissues decreased after hPMSCs treatment ( P<0.001), but the expression of PD-1 on this T cell subset was promoted in peripheral blood and liver tissues ( P<0.01, P<0.001). However, the intervention effects of shCD73 on TNF-α + Th1 cells in peripheral blood and liver tissues were significantly weakened ( P<0.05, P<0.01). Liver histopathological analysis showed that the proportion of TNF-α + Th1 cells in liver was positively correlated with Suzuki′s score, collagen area and the MFI of α-SMA ( P<0.001). Similarly, histopathological analysis of skin and lung tissues also showed that the proportion of TNF-α + Th1 cells in peripheral blood was positively correlated with skin Marina score and lung Shukai Qiao score ( P<0.001). In vitro experiment also showed that hPMSCs down-regulated the proportion of TNF-α + Th1 cells ( P<0.01) and up-regulated the expression of PD-1 on them ( P<0.05). Further analysis showed that hPMSCs could enhance the MFI of Nrf2 ( P<0.05) and weaken the MFI of p-NF-κB ( P<0.01) in TNF-α + Th1 cells. Conclusions:hPMSCs could up-regulate the expression of PD-1 through CD73/Nrf2 pathway to inhibit the formation of TNF-α + Th1 cells, thereby alleviating liver injury in GVHD mice.

Objective:To survey the prevalence and comorbidity of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in Shanxi province from 2018 to 2021.Methods:The data of patients with CTEPH from 2018 to 2021 were extracted from the Health Statistics Direct Reporting System of Shanxi Provincial Health Commission; the population data of Shanxi Province was obtained from the Statistical Yearbook of Shanxi Province. The prevalence rate of CTEPH in Shanxi Province in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 was calculated. The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10) was used to identity the specific Charlson comorbidity from other diagnosis on the medical record. The severity of the comorbidity scale was classified as mild (aCCI≤2 points), moderate (aCCI=3-5 points), moderate-severe (aCCI=6-8 points), and severe (aCCI≥9 points).Result:A total of 300 patients with CTEPH were identified in the whole province during the period with the mean age of(65.5±11.5)years, there were 31, 65, 83 and 121 cases in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, and the corresponding prevalence rates were 0.9/10 6, 1.9/10 6, 2.4/10 6 and 3.5/10 6, respectively showing an increasing trend. The patients with CTEPH in this study involved 14 Charlson comorbidities, among which the chronic lung disease was in the highest proportion (198/300, 66.0%), followed by peripheral vascular disease (126/300, 42.0%) and chronic congestive heart failure (121/300, 40.3%). There were 16.3% (49/300) of patients with mild comorbidity, 56.3% (169/300) with moderate comorbidity, 22.3% (67/300) with moderate-severity comorbidity, and 5.0% (15/300) with severity comorbidity. Conclusions:The prevalence of CTEPH in Shanxi province from 2018 to 2021 was 0.9-3.5/10 6 showing an upward trend. The chronic lung disease, peripheral vascular disease and chronic congestive heart failure are the main comorbidities of patients with CTEPH, and mostly with moderate comorbidity.

【Objective】 To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma （MTSCC） in the kidney so as to evaluate the value of radiotherapy in local treatment of refractory MTSCC. 【Methods】 A case of MTSCC with recurrent recurrence and metastasis was reported， and the existing literature on MTSCC was reviewed and analyzed to explore the value of radiotherapy in the treatment of MTSCC. 【Results】 After three operations， postoperative pathology of the patient showed mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma of the kidney. Radiotherapy was performed in the first recurrence area， and long-term follow-up in the tumor bed area showed no recurrence. 【Conclusion】 MTSCC， a rare renal epithelial tumor， has the low-grade malignance in most cases， and rarely recurs and has metastasis. This patient had repeated recurrence and metastasis before surgery， but after tumor bed radiotherapy after the first recurrence no lesion was found， suggesting that radiotherapy plays a certain role in preventing local recurrence. It is necessary to further explore the value of radiotherapy in the treatment of MTSCC.
