Antibiotic adjuvants offer a promising strategy for restoring antibiotic sensitivity, expanding antibacterial spectra, and reducing required dosages. Previously, compound 15 was identified as a potential adjuvant for Polymyxin B (PB) against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa DK2; however, its clinical utility was hindered by high cytotoxicity, uncertain in vivo efficacy, and an unclear synergetic mechanism. To address these challenges, we synthesized and evaluated a series of novel benzamide derivatives, with A22 emerging as a particularly promising candidate. A22 demonstrated potent synergistic activity to PB, minimal cytotoxicity, improved water solubility, and broad-spectrum synergism of polymyxins against various clinically isolated MDR Gram-negative strains. In vivo studies using Caenorhabditis elegans and mouse models further confirmed the efficacy of A22. Moreover, A22 effectively suppressed the development of PB resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa DK2. Mechanistic investigations revealed that A22 enhances polymyxins activity by inducing reactive oxygen species production, reducing ATP levels, increasing NOX activity, and inhibiting biofilm formation, leading to bacterial death. These findings position A22 as a highly promising candidate for the development of polymyxin adjuvants, offering a robust approach to combating MDR Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea（OSA）in children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS),and to improve the understanding of OSA during rapid eye movement sleep.Methods:The clinical data of 13 children with PWS aged 2-14 years admitted to Shenzhen Children's Hospital from June 2017 to June 2024 were retrospectively collected as the PWS group,and 12 children with snoring caused by adenoids,tonsil hypertrophy and/or obesity were selected as the control group.The gender,age,body mass index (BMI),obstructive apnea index (OAI),oxygen desaturation index (ODI),obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea index (OAHI),rapid eye movement period OAHI(OAHIrem),non-rapid eye movement period OAHI(OAHInrem) and OAHIrem/total sleep period OAHI ratio were compared between the two groups.Multivariate linear regression was used to assess the association between PWS and OAHIrem.Results:Among the 13 children in PWS group,there were 7 males and 6 females,with an average age of (7.63±4.05) years and an average BMI of (23.06±6.12) kg/m2.Among the 12 children in control group,there were 10 males and 2 females,with an average age of (7.28±3.92) years and an average BMI of (22.41±5.68) kg/m2.There were no statistically significant differences in age,gender,and BMI between the two groups ( P>0.05).All 13 children (100%) with PWS had OSA,with 8 cases (61.53%) of mild OSA and 5 cases (38.46%) of moderate to severe OSA.OAI and ODI in PWS group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.05).OAHI and OAHInrem in PWS group were higher than those in control group,but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05).OAHIrem and OAHIrem/ total sleep OAHI ratio were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistical significance ( P<0.05).Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that PWS was significantly correlated with OAHIrem/ total sleep OAH ratio (square root) ( P=0.008). Conclusion:Children with PWS have a high incidence of OSA,with a high proportion of moderate to severe OSA.They are prone to OSA with hypoxemia during rapid eye movement sleep.It is recommended that respiratory monitoring of children with PWS during rapid eye movement sleep should be strengthened,and individualized treatment plan should be formulated according to the type and severity of OSA.

Objective To investigate the technique and dosage selection of indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence staining in laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy.Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical date of the patients who underwent laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy in the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2020 to October 2023 was collected and analyzed,and the management of the Glissonean pedicle,the method and effect of ICG fluorescence staining during the operation,the dose of ICG injection,and the postoperative recovery were analyzed.Results A total of 91 laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomies were enrolled in this study,including 28 right hemihepatectomies and 63 left hemihepatectomies.The Glissonean pedicle was dissected intra-sheath in 9 cases and extra-sheath in 82 cases.ICG fluorescence staining was all performed using the negative staining method,of which 69 cases(75.8%)were successfully stained.The success rate of staining in the extra-sheath dissection and low-dose ICG group was higher than that in the intra-sheath dissection and high-dose ICG group.The average operation time was(168.5±32.2)minutes,the intraoperative bleeding volume was(152.4±56.3)ml,and the intraoperative blood transfusion rate was 6.6%(6/91),the average postoperative hospital stay was(8.5±2.6)days.One case was converted to laparotomy due to exophytic growth of the tumor compressing the Glissonean pedicle.Four cases had Clavien-Dindo Ⅰ-Ⅱ complications,all of which improved after treatment.There were 3 cases of grade Ⅲa complications,all of which were caused by bile leakage and abdominal cavity infection.They were cured by puncture and drainage.And there were no serious complications above grade Ⅲb.Conclusions In laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy,the ICG fluorescence staining method was recommended to use the negative staining method of the extra-sheath dissection of the Glissonean pedicle,and a lower dose of ICG could help to increase the success rate of fluorescence staining.

Hemophilic arthritis(HA),caused by recurrent bleeding,can seriously affect patient quality of life and consumes extensive social and medical resources.There is thus a need to establish an animal model of HA for research;however,this is limited by ethical requirements.Here we review the recent literature and summarize research progress into animal models of HA at home and abroad,from the aspects of species selection,modeling method,histopathology,and imaging evaluation method.Species selection includes rodents such as mice,New Zealand rabbits,beagles,miniature pigs,and crab-eating macaques.Modeling method comprise gene knockout trauma models,gene knockout spontaneous models,and injection models.Among these,the gene knockout spontaneous model closely mimics the pathological process of spontaneous bleeding and concurrent arthritis in human HA,making it more relevant to human HA.However,due to high modeling costs,phenotypic instability,and low survival rates,this model is not the preferred choice for animal experimental studies.In contrast,gene knockout trauma models exhibit characteristics such as short modeling time,strong stability,and high success rates,thus being widely utilized in animal experimental research.Evaluation of HA models involves various imaging method including MRI,micro-CT,MSKUS/PD,in addition to various gross scoring method.By reviewing the progress of HA model research,more experimental evidence is provided for investigating the pathogenesis and validating the efficacy of HA treatments,thereby compensating for the lack of clinical data,particularly in the field of traditional Chinese medicine therapy.

Anatomical right superior segmentectomy has always been a difficult surgical procedure in laparoscopic liver resection. How to accurately judge the interface between liver segments, so as to achieve a true sense of anatomic resection based on portal territory is a new requirement in the era of precision liver surgery. The portal vein puncture and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence positive staining technique can effectively solve this problem, which has a series of advantages and certain technical requirements in anatomical right superior segmentectomy. ICG fluorescence staining can intuitively define the three-dimensional range of the liver segment, which is a more accurate navigation mode that helps liver surgeons identify the range of the right superior liver segment, thus conducting surgery more safely and normatively. The authors consult relevant studies and combined with clinical practice to explore the application value of laparoscopic ultrosound guided puncture and positive staining technique in anatomical right superior segmentectomy.

Objective:To explore the effect of triglyceride glucose(TyG) index, single nucleotide polymorphism of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3) genes, and its interaction on the risk of gout.Methods:A total of 315 male patients with gout and 499 men for health checkup at the same period were selected. General data were collected through questionnaires, and peripheral venous blood was collected for biochemical test. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) of NLRP3 and TLR4 were detected with multiplex ligase assay reaction, and logistic regression analysis was applied to compare the correlation between NLRP3 and TLR4 alleles and gout risk. The interaction of SNP and TyG index with gout was analyzed by generalized multi-factor dimensionality reduction(GMDR) model and logistic regression.Results:After adjusting for smoking, drinking, and other factors, the risk of gout increased by 61.1% for each standard deviation increase in TyG index. CC genotypes of rs10754558, rs10759932, and rs7525979 were high risk genotypes of gout in Han ethnicity. GMDR results showed significant differences in the interaction models of rs10754558-TyG index, rs7525979-TyG index, and rs10759932-TyG index between control group and gout group( P<0.05), suggesting an interaction between the three genotypes of SNPs selected and TyG index. Stratified analysis of the three selected SNPs and TyG index showed that after adjusting for age, smoking, and other factors, the high TyG index patients carrying C/C or C/G genotype at rs10754558 displayed an increased risk of gout compared with those carrying GG genotype and low TyG index( OR=2.127, P<0.05). Conclusion:The CC genotypes of rs10754558, rs10759932, and rs7525979 are high risk genotypes for gout in Han ethnicity. The interaction between rs10754558 and TyG index may increase the risk of gout development.

Objective:To develop a learning scale of scientific methods for medical students and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Methods:Based on the principles of planned behavior theory, the original scale was developed through literature analysis, pre-interview and experts' consultation. A preliminary survey was conducted among 105 medical undergraduates with random cluster sampling, and the primary scale was formed by exploratory factor analysis. Then, 851 undergraduates were selected as the objects of formal survey, and the formal scale was finally determined by the reliability and validity evaluation and confirmatory factor analysis. SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 softwares were used for statistical analysis of the measurement data.Results:The formal scale was composed of 5 latent variables, 9 observed variables and 51 items. The overall Cronbach’s α coefficient and the overall retest reliability were 0.97 and 0.89, respectively. Composite reliability and KMO values of each latent variable were more than 0.80, and the values of average variance extraction were over 0.50. The fitness test ( P=0.155) showed acceptable fitting quality with the main fit indices of χ2/ df=1.41, RMR=0.04, RMSEA=0.02, etc. Conclusion:The learning scale of scientific methods shows satisfactory reliability, validity and fitness, which can be applied as a measuring tool to evaluate the learning behavior of scientific methods for medical students.
