OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the influential factors for all-cause mortality in patients with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) treated with polymyxin B. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM and CNKI were searched to collect clinical studies on all-cause death within 30 days or 28 days after treatment with polymyxin B in patients with CR-GNB infection from database establishment to July 2025. After literature screening, data extraction and evaluation of literature quality, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 12 studies were included, involving 1 326 patients, among whom 529 patients died, with a mortality rate of 39.89%. Meta-analysis results showed that combined with cardiovascular disease [OR=2.06, 95%CI (1.37, 3.09), P =0.005 ] , increased Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [OR=1.20, 95%CI (1.07, 1.35), P =0.003 ] , mechanical ventilation [OR=2.35, 95%CI (1.65, 3.34), P <0.001 ] , continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) [OR=2.58, 95%CI (1.67, 3.97), P <0.001 ] , bloodstream infection [OR=3.24, 95%CI (2.19, 4.78), P <0.001 ] , multiple-site infection [OR=1.51, 95%CI (1.03, 2.20), P =0.03 ] , septic shock [OR=3.19, 95%CI (1.94, 5.24), P <0.001 ] , use of vasoactive drugs [OR=2.90, 95%CI (1.97, 4.27), P <0.001 ] , and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) [OR=2.17, 95%CI (1.41, 3.36), P <0.001 ] were risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with CR-GNB infection treated with polymyxin B. Conversely, an extended duration of polymy xin B treatment [OR=0.92, 95%CI (0.86, 0.99), P =0.03 ] and early administration after CR-GNB infection [OR=0.47, 95%CI (0.25, 0.85), P =0.01 ] were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS Patients with cardiovascular disease, receiving mechanical ventilation or CRRT, having bloodstream infection, multiple-site infection or septic shock, combining with vasoactive drugs, with AKI and increased SOFA scores have a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Conversely, extending the duration of polymyxin B treatment (beyond 7 days) and early administration within 48 hours after confirmed CR-GNB infection can significantly reduce the risk of all-cause mortality.

MethodsA total of 70 patients with WD-related liver fibrosis of liver-kidney deficiency and phlegm-blood stasis syndrome meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled from Anhui Provincial Hospital of TCM from October 1, 2023, to October 1, 2024. Participants were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group received conventional copper chelation therapy with sodium dimercaptopropanesulfonate (DMPS). On this basis, the observation group was additionally administered GDFMD orally. Each treatment course lasted eight days, for a total of four treatment courses. Efficacy evaluations were performed before treatment and after the second and fourth treatment courses, respectively. The clinical efficacy and safety of GDFMD in the treatment of WD-related liver fibrosis were assessed by comparing the changes in liver stiffness measurement (LSM), liver serological markers [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), type Ⅳ collagen (C-Ⅳ), laminin (LN), N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅲ procollagen (PⅢNP), and hyaluronic acid (HA)], fibrosis index based on 4 factors (FIB-4), AST to platelet ratio index (APRI), unified Wilson's disease rating scale part Ⅱ (UWDRS-Ⅱ), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, 24-hour urinary copper, and safety indicators between the two groups before and after treatment. ResultsCompared with those before treatment, LSM levels decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of LSM levels in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of LSM levels in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the levels of HA, LN, PⅢNP, and C-Ⅳ decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of the C-Ⅳ levels in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the levels of HA, LN, and PⅢNP were more obvious (P<0.05). After four treatment courses in the observation group, the levels of HA, LN, PⅢNP, and C-Ⅳ were improved more significantly (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, ALT and AST levels decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of ALT and AST levels in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of ALT and AST levels in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, APRI score and FIB-4 index level decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those in control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of APRI score and FIB-4 index level in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the APRI score in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05), with no statistically significant improvement in the FIB-4 index difference. Compared with those before treatment, the levels of TCM syndrome scores decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with that of the control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of the level of TCM syndrome scores in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of the level of TCM syndrome scores in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in both groups after two treatment courses were not improved obviously, and the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in both groups decreased after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those of the control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in the observation group after four treatment courses was more obvious (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the 24-h urine copper levels were significantly higher in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those in the control group after treatment, the 24-h urine copper levels in the observation group were significantly higher after two and four treatment courses (P<0.01). After two treatment courses, the 24-h urine copper level in the observation group showed a gradual decreasing trend, although it was higher than that before treatment. After four treatment courses, the control group had an improvement rate of 91.43%, an effective rate of 34.29%, and an apparent rate of 2.86%. The observation group had an improvement rate of 94.29%, an effective rate of 71.43%, and an apparent rate of 8.57%. The efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion① The efficacy of GDFMD combined with DMPS therapy in patients with WD-related liver fibrosis of liver-kidney deficiency and phlegm-blood stasis syndrome is significantly better than that of single DMPS therapy, and the advantages of the combined therapy are more obvious with the prolongation of the treatment cycle. ② GDFMD combined with the DMPS therapy program in the long-term application exhibits no obvious adverse reactions with good safety, which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to explore the risk factors for chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome and establish a prediction model. MethodsClinical data of 180 patients with CAG who participated in the "clinical study of Xianglian Huazhuo Particles blocking CAG cancer transformation" of Hebei Sheng Zhong Yi Yuan from July 2021 to March 2022 were collected. After confounding factors were controlled by propensity score matching, patients were divided into a training set (namely dev) and a validation set (namely vad) in a seven to three ratio. The risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome in the training set were investigated by using univariate Logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (namely Lasso) regression algorithms. Subsequently, a model, named model 1se, was developed by using the training set data to predict the risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome. The accuracy of the prediction model was assessed by using various methods, including the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test (H-L), calibration plot, and decision curve analysis (DCA). ResultsAge, body mass index (BMI), family history of cancer, job and life satisfaction, yellow and greasy fur with slippery pulse, and heavy body sensation were independent risk factors of the model. The prediction model showed excellent predictive value for both the training and validation sets. ConclusionThe established prediction model for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome has high discrimination and excellent calibration, which could provide an excellent clinical basis for disease diagnosis and individualized treatment of patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child with 46,XX Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (46,XX OTDSD) due to copy number variation of SOX3 gene.
METHODS:
A 46,XX male patient presented at the Capital Center for Children's Health, Capital Medical University in November 2024 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected. Peripheral blood samples were taken from the child and his parents and subjected to trio whole-genome sequencing. Skewed X-chromosome inactivation was tested in the child and his mother. A literature review was carried out on 46,XX males associated with mutations of the SOX3 gene. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: SHERLL2025056).
RESULTS:
The 10-year-old boy presented with hypospadias and cryptorchidism at birth. Chromosome analysis at one year and a half revealed a 46,XX karyotype. Gonadal biopsy showed testicular tissue, while ultrasound at the age of 10 detected ovotesticular tissue. Whole-genome sequencing identified a 660 kb duplication in the Xq27.1 region, which was derived from his mother. X-chromosome inactivation testing showed random inactivation in the child and mild non-random inactivation in the mother. Literature review has found 11 publications involving 15 patients (including our case), among whom 14 had a male social gender. They had primarily presented with hypospadias at birth but had no significant endocrine abnormalities. Most patients had experienced testicular failure after puberty. SOX3 related 46,XX males are mainly caused by de novo duplications, although a few maternal carriers had been discovered.
CONCLUSION
Duplication of the SOX3 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis is this 46,XX male. Individuals with 46,XX SRY negative male phenotypes should be routinely screened for SOX3 gene variants. Structural variations of the SOX3 gene can lead to complete or partial sex reversal in 46,XX individuals with minimal impact on intellectual and motor development, as well as other endocrine hormones.

ObjectiveTo construct a scale for the diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with turbid toxin accumulating in the stomach. MethodsFirst, a research group was established to construct the scale framework. Relevant literature of CAG with syndrome of turbid toxin accumulating in the stomach was searched in CNKI, Wanfang Database (WF), and VIP Database (CQVIP) from April 1, 2003 to April 1, 2023, and items were preliminarily selected after standardization of terms. Through clinical investigation, the discrete trend method, correlation coefficient method, Cronbach's coefficient method, and factor analysis method were used to screen symptom items, and the frequency method was used to screen signs, tongue coating, and pulse conditions. Three rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted to determine the items of the scale. The weight of each item was obtained by the analytic hierarchy process. ResultsA total of 49 articles were included, and 45 items were obtained after primary screening, including 28 symptoms, 2 signs, 10 tongue coatings, and 5 pulse conditions. After clinical investigation, 15 symptoms were retained, and 8 signs and pulse conditions of tongue coating were retained. The positive coefficients of experts in three rounds of Delphi expert consultation were 100%, 96.67%, and 100%, respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.86, 0.87, and 0.87, respectively, and the coordination coefficients were 0.18, 0.25, and 0.30. After core group discussion, Delphi method investigation, and AHP weight assignment, the diagnostic scale items of CAG with turbid toxin accumulating in stomach syndrome were finally established, namely, dark red or purplish tongue proper with yellow greasy (or dry) coating (30 points), epigastric stuffiness and fullness or pain (15 points), sticky and unsmooth defecation (10 points), taste disturbance (sticky mouth, fetid breath, bitter taste, 7 points), heartburn or acid regurgitation (6 points), dizziness and clouding (5 points), general heaviness and fatigue (5 points), slippery, string‑slippery, or slippery‑rapid pulse (5 points), dysuria (or yellow or deep yellow urine, 4 points), poor appetite (4 points), dull complexion (3 points), sticky, greasy, and fetid secretions (3 points), and poor sleep (3 points). ConclusionBased on the establishment, screening, confirmation, and weighting of an item pool, combined with subjective and objective approaches as well as qualitative and quantitative methods, a diagnostic scale for CAG with the syndrome of turbid toxin accumulating in the stomach was successfully constructed.

The research and development of innovative drug have progressed remarkably, but the long development circle and high failure rate have become the bottleneck. Drug repurposing, discovering new indications of approved drugs, is a strategy to overcome these obstacles. By exploring new indications for approved drugs, rapid progress has been made in basic research and clinical translation in recent years. Rich resources of drugs, proven security, efficient development workflow and reduced cost are core advantages of this strategy, making the strategy a crucial direction of optimizing the pipeline of drug research and development. This review systematically summarizes drug repurposing cases that have received clinical approval over the past five years, and proposes core strategies for drug repurposing, including approaches based on targets, pathways, drug similarity, post-treatment phenotypes, and clinical side effects, aiming to provide some strategic guidance for drug repurposing efforts.

Objective Objective To analyze the potential spatial factors affecting the genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni in Yunnan Province. Methods A total of 13 administrative villages were selected from schistosomiasis-endemic areas of Yunnan Province as O. hupensis snail sampling sites. At least 200 snails were collected in each site, and the spatial variable data of each site were recorded, including longitude, latitude and altitude. Thirty active and Schistosoma japonicum uninfected O. hupensis snails were selected from each sampling site by means of the crawling method and the cercarial shedding method. Genomic DNA was extracted from O. hupensis snails. Following PCR amplification, purification of PCR amplification products and sequencing, the gene sequences of O. hupensis snail samples were spliced and edited using the DNAstar software and the NCBI database to yield the complete mitochondrial sequences of O. hupensis snails at each sampling site, and the mitochondrial genetic distance matrix of O. hupensis robertsoni was calculated at each sampling site. The geographical coordinates of each sampling site were marked using the software ArcGIS 10.2, and the straight-line geographical distance between each sampling site was calculated. The altitude difference, longitude difference and latitude difference between each sampling site were calculated using the Excel software, and the correlation between the mitochondrial genetic distance matrix of O. hupensis robertsoni and each spatial variable matrix was examined by using the Mantel test at 13 sampling sites in Yunnan Province. Results Among the 13 O. hupensis snail sampling sites in Yunnan Province, the largest mitochondrial genetic distance of O. hupensis robertsoni snail populations was seen between Anding Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Caizhuang Village, Midu County (26.244 2), and the largest geographical distance was seen between Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District and Cangling Village, Chuxiong County (272.64 km). The highest altitude difference was seen between Anding Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District (1 086.10 m), and the largest longitude difference was found between Qiandian Village, Eryuan County and Cangling Village, Chuxiong County (1.86°), while the largest latitude difference was measured between Leqiu Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District (1.81°). In addition, the mitochondrial genetic distance of O. hupensis robertsoni snail populations was positively correlated with altitude at 13 snail sampling sites in Yunnan Province (r = 0.542 8, P < 0.001), and showed no significant correlations with geographical distance (r = 0.093 4, P > 0.05), longitude (r = −0.199 5, P > 0.05) or latitude (r = 0.205 7, P > 0.05). Conclusion Altitude may be a potential spatial factor affecting the genetic differentiation of O. hupensis robertsoni in Yunnan Province.
