OBJECTIVE To analyze the influencing factors of voriconazole trough concentration and adverse drug reactions (ADR) in renal transplant recipients. METHODS Data from inpatients who received voriconazole and therapeutic drug monitoring in our hospital between January 2022 and August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into renal transplant group and non-renal transplant group based on transplantation status. A 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to balance differences in baselines between the two groups. Voriconazole trough concentrations, target attainment rate, clinical efficacy, and ADR were compared between the two groups. Multiple linear regression (backward) was used to analyze the factors influencing voriconazole trough concentrations in the renal transplant group. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression were used to identify independent risk factors for ADR in the renal transplant group. RESULTS After PSM, 48 patients were included in each group. There were no statistically significant differences in the mean voriconazole trough concentration, target attainment rate or efficacy rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The total incidence of ADR was significantly higher in the renal transplant group than in the non-renal transplant group (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, average daily dose, pulmonary infection, total bilirubin during medication, day-1 loading dose, use of the original drug, concomitant immunosuppressant use, and the occurrence of ADR were factors influencing voriconazole trough concentration in renal transplant patients (P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal direct bilirubin during medication [OR=7.747, 95%CI (1.334, 45.005), P=0.023] was an independent risk factor for ADR in renal transplant patients receiving voriconazole. CONCLUSIONS Age, average daily dose, pulmonary infection, use of the original drug, day-1 loading dose, total bilirubin during medication, concomitant immunosuppressant use, and the occurrence of ADR are the factors influencing voriconazole trough concentration in renal transplant patients. Furthermore, patients with abnormal direct bilirubin during medication are more susceptible to ADR.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of different daily doses of aspirin in the prevention of preeclampsia (PE). METHODS The case-control studies and prospective randomized controlled trials on aspirin with daily dose ≥ 100 mg (trial group) vs. <100 mg (control group) in the prevention of PE were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, China Biomedical Literatue Database and Wanfang Data from base-building to January 2025. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 literatures were included, involving 3 052 pregnant women. Meta-analysis showed the incidence of PE [RR=0.63, 95%CI (0.53,0.76), P<0.000 01], gestational hypertension [RR=0.69, 95%CI (0.50,0.94),P=0.02], preterm birth [RR=0.56, 95%CI (0.47,0.66), P<0.000 01], and intrauterine growth retardation [RR=0.73,95%CI (0.61,0.87),P=0.000 5] in trial groups were significantly lower than control group. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage between the two groups had no statistically significant difference [RR=1.17, 95%CI (0.90,1.53),P=0.25]. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of PE in Chinese pregnant women taking 150 mg of aspirin was significantly higher than taking 100 mg of aspirin [RR=3.40, 95%CI (1.29, 8.93), P=0.01]; but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, preterm birth (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Aspirin with daily dose ≥100 mg is more effective in preventing PE than daily dose <100 mg, with lower rates of gestational hypertension, preterm birth, and intrauterine growth retardation. It does not increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. For pregnant women in China, daily dose 100 mg of aspirin may be more effective in preventing PE than 150 mg.

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the impact of HBV infection on pre- and postpartum health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pregnant women.
METHODS:
A prospective matched cohort consisting of 70 HBV-infected and 70 healthy pregnant women was recruited from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between April 17 and September 25, 2023. HRQoL of the participants was assessed at 16-24 weeks of gestation, between 32 weeks and delivery, and 5-13 weeks postpartum. Mixed linear models were used for evaluating temporal trends of HRQoL changes, and univariate ANOVA with multiple linear regression was used to identify the predictors of HRQoL.
RESULTS:
Compared with healthy pregnant women, HBV-infected pregnant women had consistently lower total HRQoL scores across all the 3 intervals, with the lowest scores observed between 32 weeks of gestation and delivery, during which these women had significantly reduced mental component scores (74.27±13.43 vs 80.21±12.9, P=0.009) and postpartum mental (76.52±16.19 vs 85.02±6.51, P<0.001) and physical component scale scores (77.17±14.71 vs 83.09±10.1, P=0.009). HBV infection was identified as an independent risk factor affecting HRQoL during late pregnancy and postpartum periods. Additional independent risk factors for postpartum HRQoL reduction included self-pay medical expenses, spouse's neutral attitude toward the current pregnancy, and preexisting comorbidities (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
HRQoL of pregnant women deteriorates progressively in late pregnancy, and HBV infection exacerbates reductions of physical function and role emotion in late pregnancy and after delivery, suggesting the importance of targeted interventions for financial burdens, partner support and comorbid conditions to improve HRQoL of pregnant women with HBV infection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the pathogenic spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of diarrheal disease in Fengxian District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of diarrheal diseases. MethodsBasic information of the initial adult cases visited diarrheal disease surveillance sentinel hospital in Fengxian District, Shanghai, was collected from August 2013 to 2023, and fecal samples were collected at 1∶5 sampling intervals to isolate and identify 5 kinds of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC), Salmonella (SAL), Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and Yersinia enterocolitica (YE). Simultaneously, nucleic acid detection was performed for 3 kinds of rotavirus, 2 kinds of norovirus, intestinal adenovirus, astrovirus and sapovirus. ResultsA total of 1 861 cases of newly diagnosed diarrheal disease were reported, with the peak in July to August. Additionally, 704 surveillance samples were detected, with a total positive detection rate of 50.57%. The detection rates of bacterial, viral and mixed infection were 25.14%, 21.02% and 4.40%, respectively. Among the pathogens detected, DEC accounted for the highest (17.61%, 124/704), followed by norovirus (16.48%, 116/704), rotavirus (6.39%, 45/704), SAL (5.97%, 42/704) and Campylobacter (3.84%, 27/704). DEC detected were mainly enteroaggregative Escherichia coli and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, with no detection of Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and YE. The highest total pathogen detection rate was observed from June to September, and the detection peaks of norovirus were from March to June and from October to December, whereas that of DEC was from June to October. The detection rate of rotavirus peaked from January to February, but which was not detected between 2020‒2023. The SAL positive rate peak was in September, whereas that of Campylobacter was from July to September. ConclusionThe main pathogens detected in Fengxian District from 2013‒2019 are DEC, norovirus, rotavirus, SAL and Campylobacter. Different pathogens have different detection peaks, with bacteria predominating in summer and viruses in winter and spring. Prevention and control measures should be carried out according to the epidemiological characteristics of different seasons.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of circulating plasma cell (CPC) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) undergoing induction therapy with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRD) regimen.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 152 patients with NDMM treated with the VRD regimen as induction therapy in the Hematology Department of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2019 to March 2024. The clinical characteristics, efficacy, and prognosis of patients with high and low CPC proportions are compared. The prognosis of patients in the CPC-positive group, CPC-negative conversion group, and CPC-negative group was analyzed.Results:This study included 152 patients with NDMM, comprising 76 males and 76 females, with a median age at onset of 62 (40–77) years. Compared with the group with CPC proportion of <0.105%, patients with CPC proportion of ≥0.105% demonstrated a higher proportion of International Staging System (ISS) stage Ⅲ ( P<0.001), Revised ISS stage Ⅲ ( P=0.023), HGB≤100 g/L ( P=0.015), β 2-microglobulin ≥3.5 g/L ( P<0.001), shorter median progression-free survival (PFS) period (24 months vs 52 months, P<0.001), and shorter median overall survival (OS) period (52 months vs not achieved, P=0.005). Patients in the CPC-negative group demonstrated a longer median PFS period (not reached vs 41 months vs 19 months, P<0.001) and median OS period (not reached vs not reached vs 26 months, P<0.001) compared with patients in the CPC-negative conversion group and CPC-positive group. Multivariate analysis revealed CPC proportion of ≥0.105% ( HR=3.79, 95% CI: 1.95–7.38, P<0.001), positive CPC after induction therapy ( HR=3.54, 95% CI: 1.41–8.87, P=0.007), and cytogenetic high risk ( HR=3.69, 95% CI: 1.85–7.37, P<0.001) as independent risk factors affecting the PFS of patients. Meanwhile, CPC of ≥0.105% ( HR=3.50, 95% CI: 1.29–9.48, P=0.014) and positive CPC after induction therapy ( HR=4.12, 95% CI: 1.13–15.03, P=0.032) are independent risk factors affecting the OS of patients. Conclusion:Patients with NDMM demonstrating high CPC expression have a worse prognosis, with CPC level as an independent prognostic factor.

To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 465 newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (NDMM) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2016 to December 2024, and compare the prognostic value of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs) in NDMM patients under mSMART 3.0 and mSMART 4.0 risk stratification systems. The results showed that in both stratification systems, the prognosis of high-risk patients was worse than that of standard-risk patients. Moreover, a higher number of HRCAs was associated with a worse prognosis. The mSMART 4.0 system, which considers the coexistence of various cytogenetic abnormalities, provides a more precise definition of HRCA than mSMART 3.0. It demonstrates a superior ability to differentiate between different categories of cytogenetic risk.

Objective:To develop the Discharge Readiness Scale for Patients with Chronic Skin Wounds and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:The Discharge Readiness Scale for Patients with Chronic Skin Wounds was developed through literature review, semi-structured interviews, Delphi expert consultation, and a pre-survey. Convenience sampling was employed to select 320 patients with chronic skin wounds hospitalized at Chongming Hospital, Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences and Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 2023 to December 2024 for formal investigation, conducting scale reliability and validity analysis. The critical ratio method and correlation coefficient method were used for project analysis. Content validity of the scale was assessed using item-level content validity index and average scale-level content validity index, and construct validity was evaluated through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability analysis employed Cronbach's α coefficient.Results:A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed, and 304 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.0%. The average scale-level content validity index was 0.91, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.80 to 1.00. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the five common factors was 67.483%. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient for the scale was 0.831. The final constructed scale comprised five dimensions of trajectory stage cognition, wound self-care skills, symptom management, psychosocial adaptation, and health information acquisition and resource utilization, with a total of 26 items.Conclusions:The Discharge Readiness Scale for Patients with Chronic Skin Wounds demonstrates good reliability and validity, providing clinical healthcare professionals with a standardized assessment tool.
