OBJECTIVE To analyze the medication needs of parents of pediatric children in our hospital regarding drug instructions， and explore improvement strategies， thereby providing a basis for clinically guiding the rational use of drugs in pediatric patients. METHODS A self-designed questionnaire was used to randomly select the parents of pediatric patients in the pediatric outpatient and emergency departments of our hospital from July 1st to September 30th， 2024. A randomized face-to-face survey was conducted regarding their willingness to read drug instructions， their current understanding status， and their needs. The survey results were then statistically analyzed. RESULTS A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed in this survey， and 299 valid questionnaires were recovered， with an effective recovery rate of 99.7%. Before medication， the parents who “always” and “often” read the drug instructions in detail accounted for 39.1% （117 respondents） and 35.1% （105 respondents）， respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed in the willingness to read drug instructions among respondents with varying educational levels and occupations （P＜0.05）. Among the 299 respondents， only 48 people （16.1%）“ fully understood” the drug instructions， and the average understanding score of all the respondents was （3.77±0.83） points. The stronger the respondents’ willingness to read drug instructions， the higher their understanding scores of drug instructions （P＜0.05）. A total of 256 respondents thought that drug instructions were of great help to themselves， and the average helpfulness rating score of all the respondents was （4.28±0.78） points. Under the conditions of varying ages， educational levels， occupations， and willingness to read drug instructions， statistically significant differences were observed in the scores representing the degree of helpfulness of drug instructions to the respondents （P＜0.05）. Respondents paid the most attention to content in drug instructions such as “dosage and administration method”，“ adverse reactions”， and “indications and therapeutic categories”. The most difficult sections for them to understand included “chemical structure and properties”， “pharmacological and toxicological effects” ， and “pharmacokinetics”， etc. The demographic characteristics of the respondents were not significantly associated with the content areas of drug instructions they most desired to see improved （P＞0.05）. Most respondents （86.0%） hoped to improve the instructions mainly by “simplifying professional terms to make them more accessible”. Others included “highlighting key information” （60.5%） and “providing more detailed medication guidance” （49.2%）， etc. CONCLUSIONS Parents of pediatric patients in our hospital have a high demand for drug instructions but low comprehension. The pharmacy department should make targeted improvements to drug instructions based on parents’ actual needs， helping them accurately obtain medication knowledge and reduce potential medication safety risks.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of formononetin （FMN） on the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells in inflammatory bowel disease （IBD） rats and its possible mechanism. METHODS IBD rat model was constructed by using trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid （TNBS） induction. Forty-eight rats with successful modeling were divided into model group （normal saline）， low-dose and high-dose FMN groups （20 and 40 mg/kg FMN）， and high-dose FMN+YAP inhibitor Verteporfin （VTPF） group （40 mg/kg FMN+10 mg/kg VTPF）， with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 rats were set as the normal group （normal saline）. They were given drug/normal saline， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. After the last administration， the disease activity index （DAI） of rats was calculated， and the colon length of rats in each group was measured. The pathological changes in the colon tissue of rats were observed. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-10 in serum were detected， and the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells was detected. The expressions of Yes associated protein （YAP）， cleaved cysteine-containing aspartate proteolytic enzyme 3 （cleaved-caspase-3）， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） and Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax） were detected in colon tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with the normal group， DAI score， the levels of TNF-α and IL- 6， the apoptotic rate of intestinal epithelial cells， and the expressions of cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax protein in the model group were increased greatly （P＜0.05）； the length of the colon was greatly decreased （P＜0.05）， and the serum level of IL-10 and the protein expressions of YAP and Bcl-2 were greatly reduced （P＜0.05）. The cell morphology of colon tissue was abnormal， with disordered arrangement and inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with IBD group， the above indexes of rats were improved significantly in low-dose and high-dose FMN groups （P＜0.05）， in dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. VTPF significantly alleviated the effects of FMN on the above indexes of IBD rats （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS FMN may promote the expression of YAP by inhibiting the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway， thereby inhibiting apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells in IBD rats.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, prognosis and risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 associated acute pancreatitis (SAAP), and provide a basis for early prevention and treatment of SAAP.Methods:Patients with coronavirus disease 19 infection (COVID-19) admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from December 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics such as age, gender and other data were recorded, and the indexes of blood routine, liver and kidney function, inflammatory factor, coagulation function, blood gas analysis, immunoglobulin and complement were collected after admission. Patients were divided into pancreatic injury group and non-pancreatic injury group according to the level of serum amylase/lipase. The difference of prognosis and related hematological parameters between the two groups was compared. Multifactorial logistic regression equation was constructed to analyze the risk factors of SAAP.Results:A total of 2 101 patients with COVID-19 who met the criteria were included, including 298 patients in the pancreatic injury group and 1 803 patients in the non-pancreatic injury group. 17 cases (5.7%) in the pancreatic injury group met the diagnostic criteria for AP. The age, male percentage and mortality rate of the pancreatic injury group were all significantly higher than those of the non-pancreatic injury group (all P<0.05). In the pancreatic injury group, white blood cell count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein (CRP), calcitoninogen, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, inflammatory cytokines, tumour necrosis factor, liver and kidney functions, coagulation (D-dimer and plasma fibrinogen degradation products), and lactate level were significantly higher than those in the non-pancreatic injury group (all P<0.05). Serum complement C3, albumin, albumin globule ratio and arterial oxygenation index were lower in the pancreatic injury group (all P<0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, CRP, calcitoninogen, total bilirubin, creatinine, PaO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 and lactate were independent risk factors for the occurrence of pancreatic injury in patients with COVID-19 (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Inflammation-related markers, D-dimer and fibrinogen degradation products were significantly higher in COVID-19 patients comorbid with pancreatic injury than in the patients without pancreatic injury. The risk of SAAP was significantly higher in male patients of senior age. Sex, age, CRP, calcitoninogen, total bilirubin, creatinine, oxygenation index, and lactic acid were independent risk factors for the onset of pancreatic injury in COVID-19 patients.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics and possible influencing factors of cognitive impairment in patients with CSF1R related diseases (CRD), and provide a basis for the diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and prognosis of CRD.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on CRD patients diagnosed at the Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital from April 1, 2018 to May 1, 2024. Information such as gender, age of onset, family history, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, imaging features, and CSF1R gene mutations were collected to analyze the phenotypic characteristics of CRD patients with different cognitive levels. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors that may be related to CRD cognitive dysfunction.Results:A total of 40 patients were collected, including 22 males and 18 females. 42.5%(17/40) of the patients had a family history, with an onset age of (39.6±7.9)years and an overall median disease duration of 1.25(1.00, 2.00)years. The MMSE score was (17.90±7.89)points and the MoCA score was (15.16±7.76)points. All patients had frontal leukoencephalopathies and no cerebellar involvement. The cognitive impairment of patients was multidimensional, mainly characterized by orientation disorders, structural barriers attention and calculation disorders, visual spatial and executive dysfunction, delayed recall disorders, and language dysfunction. Patients with onset age ≥40 years old had poorer abstract ability. In addition, patients with a positive family history had poorer immediate memory and naming abilities, while those with ventricular dilation had poorer scores in MMSE total score, MoCA total score, orientation, delayed recall ability, and naming ability.Conclusions:CRD patients generally exhibit significant impairment in multiple cognitive domains, mainly characterized by deficits in orientation, structure attention, and computational abilities. Patients with early onset, long course of illness, positive family history, and ventricular enlargement are more likely to experience partial cognitive decline.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the rationality of clinical application of polymyxin B in the inpatients of a third grade class A hospital，so as to provide evidence for the optimization of clinical scheme of the drug. METHODS A retrospective method was conducted on the electronic medical records of inpatients treated with Polymyxin B sulfate for injection from January 2020 to March 2022 to collect the basic information of patients， inpatient departments and time， infection diagnosis， results of pathogenic bacteria test， laboratory test indicators， usage and dosage， and combined medication，etc. Based on the drug instructions， according to relevant guidelines and consensus， the rationality， efficacy and safety of polymyxin B in inpatient were evaluated. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 101 inpatients were included， respiratory system infection was the main cause （62.4%）. All patients had received the etiological examination， and the pathogen with the highest detection rate was carbapenem‑resistant Acinetobacter baumannii （40.6%）. One hundred patients were treated by intravenous drip， and 4 patients were treated by combination of aerosol inhalation or intrathecal injection； 99 patients were given the dose of 500 thousand units by continuous intravenous infusion， q12 h. Totally 51.5% of patients were treated for 7-14 days； and 77 patients were treated with other anti-Gram-negative drugs. There were unreasonable phenomena including too short time of medication （29.7%）， no combination of medication （23.8%）， and no indication of medication （17.8%）. The clinical effective rate of 101 patients treated with polymyxin B was 49.5%， and 16 patients （15.8%） had acute kidney injury during the treatment. Clinical pharmacists should actively participate in the clinical treatment of polymyxin B， formulate individualized treatment plans according to the guidelines/consensus and in combination with the patient’s condition and infection status to improve the rationality of clinical medication.

Objective:To investigate the association between cancer fatalism and optimistic attitudes among colorectal cancer patients, and how the above linkage is moderated by the involvement of patients′ opinions, the family members′ opinions and the physicians′ opinions in treatment decision-making.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 64 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and awaiting radical colorectal cancer surgery in the Department of General Surgery of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, from January 2021 to December 2021. There were 38 males and 26 females, aged (61.2±13.0) years from 30 to 84 years. Cancer fatalism, optimism attitudes, and the involvement of patients′ opinions, the family members′ opinions and the physicians′ opinions in treatment decision-making were assessed. The patients′ cancer fatalism beliefs were measured by the " Chance" subscale of the Form C of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC-C), optimism attitudes were assessed by the Chinese version of the revised Life Orientation Test (CLOT-R), and the influence of patients′, family members′, and physicians′ opinions in the medical decision-making process was measured by a self-designed single factor scale. Measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s). Measurement data of skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3). Spearman correlation analysis and Chi-square test was used to examine the association between the main outcome variable (patients′ optimistic attitudes) and demographic and clinical characteristics. Interaction was examined by hierarchical linear regression analysis combined with simple slope tests. Results:Cancer fatalism was negatively associated with patients′ optimistic attitudes ( r=-0.35, P<0.01). Optimistic attitude of patients was significantly and negatively correlated with the influence of family members′ opinions on medical decision-making ( r=-0.25, P<0.05). There were significant positive correlations between the influence of patients′ and family members′ opinions ( r=0.50, P<0.01), family members′ and physicians′ opinions ( r=0.67, P<0.01), and physicians′ and patients′ opinions ( r=0.38, P<0.01) in medical decision making. Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed a negative association between cancer fatalism and optimism ( β=-0.32, P=0.01). This association was further moderated by the involvement of family members′ opinions ( β=-0.56, P<0.01) and the involvement of physicians′ opinions ( β=-0.36, P=0.04) in medical decision-making. Simple slope tests revealed that the negative impact of fatalistic attitudes on patients′ optimism attitudes may be potentiated when family members′ opinions have high influence on medical decision-making, while the negative impact may be buffered to some extent when physicians′ opinions have high influence on medical decision-making. Conclusions:Cancer fatalism had a negative effect on patients′ optimism. The high influence of physicians in treatment decision-making buffered the negative effect of cancer fatalism on optimism; the high influence of family members in treatment decision-making potentiated the negative effect of cancer fatalism on optimism. In the process of doctor-patient communication and shared decision-making, for patients with strong fatalistic attitudes, consideration should be given to appropriately increasing direct informational communication between physicians and patients and reducing excessive family intervention in medical decision-making, so as to enhance patients′ autonomy for treatment, promote optimism, and reduce the negative effects of cancer fatalism.

OBJECTIVE To analyze and identify non-target proteins in human albumin and human immunoglobulin by ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem linear ion trap orbitrap mass spectrometry. METHODS The extract was separated on a ACQUITY UPLC peptide BEH C18(300Å, 1.7 μm, 2.1 mm×100 mm) column and the gradient elution was performed with mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-0.1% formic acid acetonitrile. The analytes were detected in Full MS/dd-MS2(TopN). RESULTS A total of 52 non-target proteins were identified from human albumin and human immunoglobulin. Among them, 25 non-target proteins were identified in human albumin samples, and 27 non-target proteins were identified in human immunoglobulin samples. CONCLUSION The established qualitative method can rapidly, accurately and systematically identify various proteins in human albumin and human immunoglobulin. The results provide reference for the quality control of the preparation as well as its further clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of ischemic myocardial contracture after asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest (CA).Methods:Asphyxia and ventricular fibrillation (VF) induced cardiac arrest model was established. Thirty-one male Wistar rats were randomly(random number) assigned to the sham, asphyxia and VF groups. Electrocardiogram and blood pressure during CA stage were recorded. Arterial blood was drawn for blood gas analysis at 0 min after CA. The length and width of the heart were measured at 0,2,4,6 and 8 min after CA. The myocardial ATP contents were measured at 0 and 8 min after CA.Results:Compared with the VF group, the time of CA induction was longer in the asphyxia group[ (237±20 ) s vs (3±1) s, P<0.05]. At 0 min after CA, severe hypoxemia, carbon dioxide retention and acidosis had occurred in the asphyxia group, while these indexes in the VF group were basically normal. The length and width of the heart in the asphyxia group decreased gradually after CA, the myocardial contracture reached the limit around 6 min after CA, while the cardiac morphology of the VF group did not change significantly during the observation period of 8 min after CA. Myocardial ATP content in the asphyxia group decreased significantly at 0 min after CA ( P<0.05), while the difference between the VF group and the sham group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Myocardial contracture occurrs in the early stage of asphyxia CA, which may be related to ATP consumption in the asphyxia stage.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of myocardial injury and its underlying mechanism in rats resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Methods Forty-two male Wistar rats were randomly(random number) assigned into the post-resuscitation (PR) 4 h, PR 24 h, PR 48 h, and sham groups. Ventricular fibrillation was induced by transcutaneous electrical epicardium stimulation and untreated for 6 min, followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Myocardial function, glucose metabolism, myocardial ultrastructure, the status of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were evaluated at different time points. Results Myocardial dysfunction was found at 4 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The ejection fraction and cardiac output were decreased (all P<0.01), the diastole left ventricular posterior wall became thicker (P<0.01), and the end-diastolic volume was reduced (P<0.05). However, cardiac function was recovered almost completely at 48 h after ROSC. The PR 4 h group had a higher SUVmax, a more obvious decreased absorbance, and a lower MMP than the sham group (all P<0.01), but no statistically significant differences were noted between the PR 48 h group and the sham group (P>0.05). At 4 h and 24 h after ROSC, the mitochondria was swollen and the mitochondrial crista was sparse, but the myocardial ultrastructure was complete. Conclusions Post resuscitation myocardial dysfunction occurs after ROSC and the myocardial dysfunction is completely reversible at 48 h after ROSC, which may be related to the reversibility of myocardial injury and the gradual recovery of mitochondrial structure and function.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective mechanism of sevoflurane in rats resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA).Methods A ventricular fibrillation-induced CA model was established.Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into the sham group,sevoflurane group and control group.Apoptosis-related proteins were measured by Western blot at 24 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).The status of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) were measured using a spectrophotometer,and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were measured with JC-1 fluorescent probe.At 72 h after ROSC,the apoptotic index of neurons in hippocampal CA1 region was counted by TUNEL staining.Results The protein expression of Bax,Bak,cleaved-caspase 9,cleavedcaspase 3 and cytosolic cytochrome c were lower in the sevoflurane group (all P＜0.05),the protein expression of Bcl-2 was higher in the sevoflurane group compared with the control group (P＜0.05).The sevoflurane group had a less opening status of MPTP and a higher MMP compared with the control group (all P＜0.05).The sevoflurane group had less apoptotic neurons compared with the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion By up-regulating the expression of Bcl-2,down-regulating Bax and Bak,sevoflurane could reduce the apoptosis of neurons and decrease the opening of MPTP,eventually reduce cerebral injuries.
