OBJECTIVE To provide references for the accurate identification and management of immune-related cutaneous adverse events （irCAEs） caused by durvalumab， and ensuring safe clinical drug use. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with gallbladder cancer who developed irCAEs caused by durvalumab. The clinical pharmacists systematically reviewed the patient’s past medical history and medication history， and assisted physicians in assessing the association between adverse drug reactions and administered drugs. Meanwhile， the clinical pharmacists conducted a graded assessment of the adverse reaction， proposed recommendations such as discontinuing durvalumab and adjusting the administration regimen of glucocorticoids， assisted physicians in restarting immunotherapy， and carried out medication education and other pharmaceutical care. RESULTS The occurrence of irCAEs in this patient was “highly likely” related to durvalumab and was classified as severe. The physicians adopted the clinical pharmacist’s opinion， and after symptomatic treatment， the patient’s skin symptoms improved， and discharged with medication. After the completion of glucocorticoid therapy for the patient， the physician restarted immunotherapy with tislelizumab， and no related adverse reactions occurred again in the patient. CONCLUSIONS Durvalumab can cause irCAEs such as severe skin maculopapular rash. In clinical practice， it is crucial to promptly identify and discontinue suspicious drugs， immediately implement effective symptomatic treatment measures， and actively resume immunotherapy to ensure the continuity and safety of the patient’s treatment.

Breast milk is the optimal natural food for newborns. However， some newborns cannot receive maternal breast milk due to reasons such as mother-infant separation or insufficient lactation. The establishment of human milk banks （HMB） can effectively address these issues， thereby increasing the breastfeeding rate among hospitalized newborns and improving their quality of survival. However， HMB in China is still in the development and improvement stage. Its implementation involves a series of ethical issues， such as informed consent， privacy protection， economic incentives， quality and safety， and fair resource distribution， which hinder HMB’s widespread promotion. Therefore， discussing the ethical dilemmas faced by the widespread establishment of HMB in China’s hospitals and analyzing coping strategies are crucial for improving the breastfeeding rate of newborns. This paper deeply analyzed and sorted out the ethical issues and challenges currently faced by HMB in China， and proposed corresponding strategies， including “ensuring informed consent and voluntary participation of both donors and recipients，” “protecting the privacy of donors and recipients，” “establishing an ethics-based moral incentive and social support system，” “strictly controlling quality and safety issues”， and “developing fair and rational policies，” aiming to provide a reference solution for addressing ethical concerns in the establishment and operation of HMB.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of meropenem exposure and degradation levels on clinical efficacy in patients with purulent meningitis （PM）. METHODS A total of 131 PM patients treated with meropenem at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to June 2025 were prospectively included. Relevant data were collected and divided into a cured group （91 cases） and a non-cured group （40 cases） based on the efficacy. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the concentration of meropenem and its open-loop metabolites. Risk factors that affect efficacy were screened， and their predictive power and correlation were evaluated by univariate analysis， and multivariate Logistic regression analysis， receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves， and correlation analysis. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that serum creatinine， creatinine clearance rate， minimum inhibitory concentration of meropenem ≥16 μg/mL， cerebrospinal fluid red blood cell count， cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count， cerebrospinal fluid glucose content， blood trough concentration， blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio， and intrathecal injection were all correlated with efficacy （P＜0.05）. The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that serum creatinine blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio， intrathecal injection， and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content were influencing factors for suboptimal anti-infective ltt efficacy （P＜0.05）. ROC curve analysis showed that when the blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio was greater than 2.854 （AUC＝0.647）， serum creatinine was less than 59.5 μmol/L （AUC＝0.647）， and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content was less than 3.37 mmol/L （AUC＝0.709）， the risk of treatment failure significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that the blood trough concentration of meropenem was positively correlated with the concentration of its open-loop metabolites （R 2＝0.134 5， P＜0.000 1）. CONCLUSIONS Insufficient exposure level and rapid degradation of meropenem are key mechanisms affecting the anti-infective efficacy of PM. Elevated blood open-loop metabolite concentration/ trough concentration ratio， low serum creatinine level， lack of intrathecal injection， and low cerebrospinal fluid glucose content are independent risk factors for poor efficacy.

Objective:To explore the classification and influencing factors of family resilience and post-traumatic growth in patients with spinal tumor.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation was conducted among 219 inpatients with spinal tumor admitted from July 2021 to July 2022. The General Demographic Information questionnaire, Chinese-Family Resilience Assessment Scale, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Family Crisis-Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used in the study. The ordinal and multivariate logistic regression analyses was applied to identify the factors associated with the classification of family resilience and post-traumatic growth.Results:Of the 219 patients, there were 62 cases of primary spinal tumors (28.3%). According to the results of latent profile analysis, the respondents were classified into three categories by family resilience and post-traumatic growth, namely family difficulty-resistant type ( n=38, 17.4%), general resilience-struggle type ( n=99, 45.2%) and family adaptation-growth type ( n=82, 37.4%). There were significant differences in occupational status, commitment to housework, family atmosphere( χ2=10.75, P=0.025; χ2=6.95, P=0.031; χ2=11.37, P=0.017), and total score of F-COPES and SSRS ( F=25.95, P<0.001; F=19.06, P<0.001)among three groups. Ordinal and multivariate logisitc regression analyses showed that retirement ( OR=2.928, 95% CI:1.098-7.808, P<0.05), family coping ( OR=1.113, 95% CI:1.063-1.165, P<0.05), and social support ( OR=1.226, 95% CI:1.103-1.362, P<0.05) were independently associated with family resilience and post-traumatic growth in patients with spinal tumor. Conclusion:Patients with spinal tumor have significant differences in characteristics by family resilience and post-traumatic growth. As a result, more targeted interventions should be provided for different categories of spinal tumor patients in the future.

With the process of China’s aging population intensifying， palliative care， as an important guarantee for improving the quality of life of terminally ill patients， is receiving more and more social attention， and the demand is constantly increasing. Palliative care needs versatile professionals， and general education can enhance people’s awareness and understanding of it， enabling more people to understand， accept， and participate in palliative care. With the advancement of knowledge and technology in palliative care， the traditional cramming education models are no longer able to meet the actual needs. Therefore， there is an urgent need to innovate palliative care education strategies. By analyzing the current problems in the general education of palliative care in China， this paper proposed thoughts and suggestions for general and innovative education of palliative care in several aspects， such as establishing general and innovative education systems and evaluation systems of palliative care， diversifying educational contents and methods， strengthening medical staffs training， promoting diversified student groups， and strengthening the popularization of palliative care knowledge among the public.

Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations and genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with atypical Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 A (CMT1A).Methods:A patient admitted to the Department of Neurology, Xijing Hospital Affiliated to Air Force Medical University in June 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected, and 17 family members from four generations of this pedigree were traced based on pes arcuatus and atypical clinical symptoms. Neuroultrasound and genetic testing were carried out on available family members. Whole exome sequencing and multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification assay were carried out for the proband and some of the affected members of the pedigree.Results:The proband, a 15-year-old male, had presented with paroxystic limb pain with weakness, accompanied by pes cavus and hypertrophy of gastrocnemius muscles, without stork leg sign caused by muscles atrophy in the distal lower extremities. MRI has revealed no sign of fat infiltration in the muscles of both legs. Nerve conduction examination had indicated damages of the sensory and motor nerves of the limbs, mainly with demyelinating changes. Seven members of the pedigree had pes arcuatus, including 5 presenting with paroxysmal neuropathic pain and myasthenia in the limbs, whilst 2 were without any clinical symptoms. Neurosonography of the proband, his brother, father and aunt showed thickened peripheral nerves of the extremities with unclear bundle structure. Genetic analysis revealed a large repeat encompassing exons 1 to 5 of the PMP22 gene and flanking regions (chr17: 15133768_15502298) in some of the affected members, which was predicted to be pathogenic. Conclusion:The duplication of PMP22 gene was considered to be pathogenic for this CMT1A pedigree.

Objective To investigate the effect of perineal nerve electroacupuncture combined with tolterodine in the treatment of female overactive bladder(OAB).Methods A total of 150 female OAB patients treated in Huzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from April 2020 to May 2021 were selected and divided into control group and study group according to random number table method,with 75 cases in each group.The control group was treated with tolterodine,and the study group was treated with pudendal nerve electroacupuncture combined with tolterodine.Clinical symptoms,urinary symptoms,and urodynamic indicators[maximum cystometric capacity(MCC),maximum urethral closure pressure(Pura clos max),maximum detrusor pressure(Pdet max),and maximum urine flow rate(Qmax)],bladder function indicators(initial bladder sensation volume,bladder volume during strong micturition desire),nerve growth factor(NGF)mediated transient receptor potential(TRP)pathway indicators[NGF,NGF/urine creatinine(UCr),TRPV1,TRPV4]and clinical efficacy of two groups were compared.Results After treatment,the number of night urination and urgent urination in study group were significantly less than those in control group,and the average volume of urination was significantly more than that in control group(P＜0.05).The overactive bladder symptom scores and visual analogue scale scores of study group were significantly lower than those of control group(P＜0.05).The MCC and Pura·clos·max in study group were significantly higher than those in control group,while Pdet max and Qmax were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).The initial bladder sensation volume and bladder volume during strong micturition desire in study group were higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).NGF,NGF/UCr,positive expression rates of TRPV1 and TRPV4 in study group were lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).The total effective rate was significantly higher in study group than in control group,(x2=5.374,P=0.020).There was no significant difference in the incidence of total adverse reactions between two groups(x2=0.362,P=0.547).Conclusion Perineal nerve electroacupuncture combined with tolterodine can significantly improve bladder function and inhibit clinical symptoms in female OAB patients,possibly by inhibiting bladder sensitivity caused by NGF-mediated increase of TRP channel proteins TRPV1 and TRPV4.

In order to obtain a cell line which high expressed of rabies virus glycoprotein the produc-tion of rabies subunit vaccine,the RABV glycoprotein gene sequence was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into the lentiviral expression vector.The recombinant plasmid pLV-RVG,envelope plasmid pMD2.0G and packaging plasmid psPAX2 were co-transfected into HEK-293T cells to harvest lentivirus and infect new HEK-293T cells.The 293T-RVG cell line was obtained by puro-mycin pressure screening.Indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA)and Western blot showed that the 67 kD RABV-G protein was highly expressed in the cells.The neutralizing antibody titer reached 2.19 IU/mL within 14 days after immunization,which was higher than the internationally recognized protection threshold(0.5 IU/mL).This study showed that the cell line 293T-RVG with stable and high expression of rabies virus glycoprotein was successfully constructed.The cell line could protect mice against rabies virus challenge and could be used as a subunit vaccine with poten-tial for large-scale production and application.
