OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of omadacycline in the treatment of macrolide-unresponsive Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia （MUMPP） in children. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on children aged 1-18 years old with MUMPP who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics， the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2022 to June 2025. According to the selection of secondary antibiotics after 72 h of initial treatment with macrolides， they were divided into the omadacycline group and the doxycycline group. Based on conventional treatment， children in the omadacycline group were given intravenous infusion of 2.4 mg/kg （once daily） of omadacycline tosylate， while children in the doxycycline group were given oral doxycycline hydrochloride tablets at 2 mg/kg （twice daily）. The efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups of pediatric patients. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed on clinical efficacy， and subgroup analysis along with multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to verify the robustness of the conclusions. RESULTS A total of 284 children with MUMPP were included in this study， with 142 in the omadacycline group and 142 in the doxycycline group. In terms of efficacy， although the hospitalization time of children in the omadacycline group was longer than that in the doxycycline group （ P ＜0.05）， the lung lesion absorption rate and clinical efficacy were significantly higher or better than those in the doxycycline group （ P ＜0.05）. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that medication （OR＝5.300， 95%CI： 2.526-11.123）， length of hospital stay （OR＝1.348， 95%CI： 1.167-1.556）， and medication duration （OR＝1.422， 95%CI： 1.169-1.729） were influencing factors of clinical efficacy （ P ＜0.05）. The subgroup analysis results showed that the clinical efficacy of omadacycline was significantly better than that of doxycycline in all subgroups （ P ＜0.05）. The results of multiple sensitivity analysis showed that the regression coefficients B of the four models （gradually adjust variables） before and after inverse probability of treatment weighting were significantly greater than 1 （ P ＜0.05）. In terms of safety， there was no statistically significant difference in the inci dence of adverse drug reactions between the two groups of patients （ χ 2 ＝0.447， P ＝0.504）. CONCLUSIONS In the case of hospitalization and prolonged medication， the efficacy of omadacycline in treating childhood MUMPP is superior to that of doxycycline， and its safety is good.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Lycium ruthenicum Murr. in improving sleep. METHODS Network pharmacology was employed to identify the active components of L. ruthenicum and their associated disease targets， followed by enrichment analysis. A caffeine‑induced zebrafish model of sleep deprivation was established ， and the zebrafish were treated with L. ruthenicum Murr. extract （LRME） at concentrations of 0.1， 0.2 and 0.4 mg/mL， respectively； 24 h later， behavioral changes of zebrafish and pathological alterations in brain neurons were subsequently observed. The levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-1β， IL-10， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）]， oxidative stress markers [superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， catalase （CAT）]， and neurotransmitters [5- hydroxytryptamine （5-HT）， γ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）， glutamic acid （Glu）， dopamine （DA）， and norepinephrine （NE）] were measured. The protein expression levels of protein kinase B1 （AKT1）， phosphorylated AKT1 （p-AKT1）， epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）， B-cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， sarcoma proto-oncogene，non-receptor tyrosine kinase （SRC）， and heat shock protein 90α family class A member 1 （HSP90AA1） in the zebrafish were also determined. RESULTS A total of 12 active components and 176 intersecting disease targets were identified through network pharmacology analysis. Among these， apigenin， naringenin and others were recognized as core active compounds， while AKT1， EGFR and others served as key targets； EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance signaling pathway was identified as the critical pathway. The sleep improvement rates in zebrafish of LRME low-， medium-， and high-dose groups were 54.60%， 69.03% and 77.97%， 开发。E-mail：hjp_yft@163.com respectively， while the inhibition ratios of locomotor distance were 0.57， 0.83 and 0.95， respectively. Compared with the model group， the number of resting counts， resting time and resting distance were significantly increased/extended in LRME medium- and high-dose groups （P＜0.05）. Neuronal damage in the brain was alleviated. Additionally， the levels of IL-6， IL-1β， TNF-α， MDA， Glu， DA and NE， as well as the protein expression levels of AKT1， p-AKT1， EGFR， SRC and HSP90AA1， were markedly reduced （P＜0.05）， while the levels of IL-10， SOD， GSH-Px， CAT， 5-HT and GABA， as well as Bcl-2 protein expression， were significantly elevated （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS L. ruthenicum Murr. demonstrates sleep-improving effects， and its specific mechanism may be related to the regulation of inflammatory responses， oxidative stress， neurotransmitter balance， and the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance signaling pathway.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

Mannheimia varigena(M.varigena)is a significant pathogen causing bovine respiratory disease.Transferrin binding protein B(TbpB)is a lipoprotein directly exposed to the outer mem-brane of the cell,which is not only involved in the bacterial iron metabolism pathway,but also an important virulence factor.This study aims to lay the groundwork for developing novel subunit vaccines by conducting site-directed mutagenesis on M.varigena TbpB binding-related residues and evaluating their immunogenicity.Based on whole-genome sequencing of a bovine M.varigena i-solate,its iron uptake pathway was predicted.Key amino acid residues of M.varigena TbpB that play a role for binding to bovine transferrin(bTf)was identified by bioinformatics.We constructed two M.varigena TbpB mutants(Y205A and Y258A)and assessed their bTf binding activity and immunogenicity through dot blot assays and mouse immunization studies.Dot blot assays result showed that the Y258A mutation caused TbpB to lose its ability to bind to bTf.Mouse immuniza-tion studies showed that,compared to wild-type TbpB,the mutants of TbpB induced higher levels of specific antibodies.In challenge experiments,mice immunized with mutant TbpB exhibited high-er survival rates.These results demonstrate that site-directed mutagenesis can enhance the immu-nogenicity of TbpB.This study provides a novel approach for developing new subunit vaccines a-gainst M.varigena.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of specific IgE antibodies against Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus fumigatus in serum samples from clinical allergy patients across selected provinces in China.Methods Data on specific IgE antibodies for Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.were collected from 20 hospital laboratories in 17 cities spanning 11 provinces.The study analyzed the levels of specific IgE and their variations across different provinces and seasons.Results A total of 27 471 cases of Alternaria A.and 32 843 cases of Aspergillus F.specific IgE data were included.The national average positive rate of Alternaria A.IgE was 10.40%,with the highest rate of 22.68%in Jiangsu and the lowest rate of 2.06%in Guangxi.For Aspergillus F.specific IgE,the average positive rate was 4.24%,with Hubei province having the highest rate(7.25%)and Hunan province the lowest(1.23%).The difference in IgE levels for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.among provinces were statistically significant(H=9 955,16 993,all P<0.0001).Among patients,5.85%had Alternaria A.specific IgE levels at grade 3 or above,while only 0.57%had Aspergillus F.specific IgE levels at this level.When examining seasonal variations using data from Liaoning,Hunan and Anhui provinces,significant seasonal changes were observed for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.IgE antibodies(HAlternaria A=347.6,338.0,401.3,HAspergillus F=196.6,133.7,231.7,all P<0.0001).Conclusion The sensitization to Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.exhibits distinct geographical characteristics and vary significantly with seasons.Given the relatively high IgE levels associated with Alternaria A.,it should be given adequate clinical attention.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of small ubiquitin-related moditier protein specific peptidase 2 (SENP2) on acute kidney injury in septic mice by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Methods:Forty C57BL/6 mice were divided into 4 groups: namely the wild-type sham group (WT-Sham), wild-type cecal ligation and perforation group (WT-CLP), SENP2 gene knockout sham group (KO-Sham), and SENP2 gene knockout cecal ligation and perforation group (KO-CLP), with 10 mice in each group. It was observed the pathological damage of kidney tissue in each group of mice, used ELISA method to detect blood creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), plasma neutrophil gelatinase related lipoprotein (pNGAL), and plasma kidney injury molecule 1 (pKIM-1) levels, and determined plasma TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-10 levels. It was used immunohistochemical method to detect the expression of SENP2 protein in renal tissue, while used western-blotting to detect NLRP3, IL-1β, Caspase-1 and ASC protein expression in renal tissue.Results:Compared with the WT-Sham and KO-Sham groups, in the WT-CLP and KO-CLP groups, the pathological damage scores of the kidney tissue and the levels of SCr, BUN, pNGAL, pKIM-1, TNF-α and IL-1β in plasma were all significantly increased (all P<0.001), while the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were all significantly reduced (all P<0.001), and the levels of NLRP3, IL-1β, Caspase-1 and ASC proteins were all significantly increased (all P<0.001). Moreover, compared with the WT-CLP group, the KO-CLP group showed a significant decrease in renal tissue injury scores in mice ( P?0.01), the levels of SCr, BUN, pNGAL, pKIM-1, TNF-α and IL-1β were all significantly reduced (all P<0.05), and the levels of NLRP3 [(0.71 ± 0.04) vs. (0.89 ± 0.01), P=0.011], IL-1β [(0.41 ± 0.02) vs. (0.57 ± 0.01), P=0.004], Caspase-1 [(0.41 ± 0.02) vs. (0.56 ± 0.02), P=0.009], and ASC [(0.27 ± 0.01) vs. (0.41 ± 0.02), P=0.009] were all significantly reduced. Conclusion:SENP2 participates in the occurrence and development of septic AKI by regulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes.

Antibiotics are chemicals with bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity produced by microorganisms and artificially synthesized. Since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928, antibiotics have been widely used in clinical treatments as well as in the animal husbandry and aquaculture, leading to antibiotic residues in soil, water, food and other environments. At the same time, antibiotic resistance is increasingly serious, which necessitates the discovery of novel antibiotics. In recent years, with the development of synthetic biology, researchers have developed a variety of whole-cell biosensors that can respond to antibiotics. These whole-cell biosensors use microbial cells to convert antibiotic signals into readable signals, which can not only perform dynamic detection of antibiotics simply, quickly, sensitively and accurately but also effectively discover novel antibiotics. This review comprehensively summarizes the reported whole-cell biosensors for antibiotics, classifies them into two types (specific and general), and elaborates on the design principles and applications of the two types of antibiotic biosensors. This review will provide reference for the construction and application of other whole-cell biosensors for antibiotics.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and its influencing factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) among the employed individuals who undergo occupational health screening in Shanghai, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of HUA and for the health promotion in this population. MethodsCluster sampling methods were performed to recruit all the employed individuals who underwent routine health check-ups at the Shanghai Health and Medical Center from January to December 2023. Relevant data, including physical examination results, laboratory tests, and questionnaire surveys, were collected for analyses. Based on the diagnostic criteria for HUA, participants were categorized into HUA group and non-HUA group. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of HUA. ResultsThe detection rate of HUA in the employed population of Shanghai was 23.26%, with a significantly higher rate in males (31.12%) than that in females (10.43%) (χ²=381.853,P<0.001). The detection rate of HUA increased with age (χ²_trend=5.728, P_trend=0.017). Logistic regression analysis revealed that males had a higher risk for HUA the females, with overweight, obesity, meat-predominant diet, hypertension, and dyslipidemia being positively correlated with HUA risk. While, individuals aged 40‒ and 50‒ years had a lower risk for HUA compared with those aged 20‒ years. ConclusionThe prevalence of HUA among the employed individuals who undergo health check-ups in Shanghai is relatively high. Attention should be paid to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keeping a balanced diet. Targeted health management should prioritize for males, individuals with hypertension and BMI overweight and obesity, and those with dyslipidemia to reduce the risk of HUA.
