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.

AIM: To investigate timing of glucocorticoids use in the treatment of syphilitic uveitis.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted in 110 patients(134 eyes)with syphilitic uveitis diagnosed from January 2008 to January 2021, of whom 24 were binocular. The time from onset to treatment was 1 d to 3 mo. They were divided into three groups according to the treatment, including 98 eyes with completed clearely fundus lesions and no abnormalities in fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA)+ indocyanine green angiography(ICGA)+ optical coherence tomography(OCT)after treated with antibiotics alone for 1 to 2 wk in single antibiotics group, 26 eyes with in completely cleared fundus lesions and retinal vessels wall staining observed by FFA or choroidal weak fluorescence observed by ICGA after standard antisyphilitic treatments for 1 to 2 wk in first antibiotics followed by hormones group, and 10 eyes treated according to uveitis at other hospital in the absence of a clear cause of disease, that was intravenously dripped with 250 mL of normal saline and 10 mg of dexamethasone once a day for 7 to 10 d in total, then clearly diagnosed as syphilitic uveitis by Treponema pallidum particle agglutination(TPPA)test after receiving treatment for 10 to 14 d in hormones followed by antibiotics group. The best corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, fundus photography, OCT, FFA, ICGA and prognosis of the three groups of patients were compared.RESULTS: There were statistically significant difference in the best corrected visual acuity, optic disc, retinal vasculitis, choroidal weak fluorescence, and RPR titer before and after treatment of the three groups of patients. The prognosis of the hormones followed by antibiotics group was lower than that in the single antibiotics group and antibiotics followed by hormones group, and the proportion of “good” prognosis in the antibiotics followed by hormones group was larger than that in other groups.CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and regular treatment of syphilitic uveitis has a good overall prognosis, and giving large doses of glucocorticoids before thorough antisyphilitic treatments is not conducive to the recovery of disease. In patients with residual lesions after standard antisyphilitic, the application of small doses of glucocorticoids is helpful for the recovery of the disease.

Objective To investigate the correlation between early clinical outcomes following endoscopic surgery for unilateral lumbar disc herniation and variations in the cross-sectional area of the sciatic nerve.Methods Fifty-two patients(n=52)with unilateral lumbar disc herniation were recruited from June 2023 to June 2024 at the Pain Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.The cross-sectional area(CSA)values of bilateral sciatic nerves were measured at the gluteal sciatic tuberosity-great femoral rotor level using ultrasound before and on the 4th day after surgery.The change in nerve cross-sectional area ΔCSA and sciatic nerve swelling rate(SR-SN)were calculated.Patient BMI(Body Mass Index),visual analog scale(VAS),Japanese Orthopaedic Association score(JOA),Oswestry Disability Index(ODI),and Treatment Improvement Rate(TIR)were collected preoperatively and on postoperative day 4.Changes in sciatic nerve cross-sectional area in unilateral lumbar disc herniation and its relationship to clinical outcomes were analyzed using the scoring scales as controls.Results Compared to the preoperative period,there was a significant decrease in VAS and ODI scores,as well as an increase in JOA score on the 4th postoperative day(P<0.01).Furthermore,surgical intervention led to substantial improve-ment in clinical outcomes for the patients.Prior to surgery,the CSA value of the affected side of the sciatic nerve was greater than that of the healthy side(P<0.01).Although CSA value decreased on the affected side after surgery,it remained higher than that of the healthy side(P<0.01).Additionally,there was a significant difference between SR-SN values on both sides with higher values observed on the affected side(P<0.01).Notably,△CSA on the affected side exhibited a negative correlation with postoperative VAS score,JOA score,and treatment improvement rate(P<0.05);The SR-SN on the affected side exhibited a positive correlation with BMI and negative correlations with postoperative VAS score,JOA score,and treatment improvement rate(P<0.05).However,no significant correlations were observed between △CSA,SR-SN,and ODI score on the affected side.(P>0.05).Conclusions In patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for lumbar disc herniation,a greater change in the cross-sectional area of the affected sciatic nerve before and after the operation is associated with more pronounced improvement in early symptoms.However,further investigation is required to explore the relationship between this change and recovery of both lumbar spine and lower limb function.

Objective:To explore the dilemmas in the discharge preparation process of postoperative breast cancer patients within the framework of Meleis' Transition Theory, and to provide evidence for the development of nursing interventions to improve discharge readiness.Methods:This was a qualitative study. Using purposive sampling, postoperative breast cancer patients hospitalized in the Department of Breast Surgery of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University between September and October 2024 were selected for the study. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted. Data were analyzed and themes extracted using Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method.Results:A total of four themes were extracted: personal status-patients experienced complex emotions at discharge; disease knowledge preparation-patients had insufficient mastery of relevant knowledge after discharge; coping ability-patients lacked confidence in home self-care after returning home; social support-patients desired support from peers and medical staff.Conclusions:Postoperative breast cancer patients face multiple dilemmas during discharge preparation. Medical staff are advised to pay attention to the psychological status of discharged patients and develop individualized emotional coping strategies; provide professional information and meet patients' fertility and sexual health knowledge needs; optimize health education models to enhance patients' home coping ability; and strengthen the integration of mobile health with nursing practice to build a multidimensional support system.

Objective:
To investigate the value of decreased carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9) kinetics in predicting short-term outcomes and determining prognosis among advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer patients receiving first-or second-line therapy in the real world.
Methods :
Eighty-nine patients were retrospectively collected with advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer, especially on the CA19-9 dynamics and decline rates at different time points. This study evaluated the association of CA19-9 changes with clinicopathological features, short-term response to antitumor therapy, and survival outcomes.
Results :
The enrolled patients recorded baseline CA19-9 levels ranging from 1.20 to 65 706.40 U/ml, with a median of 303.11 U/ml. There was no statistical correlation between baseline CA19-9 levels and gender, age, body mass index, primary tumor site, hepatic metastases, pulmonary metastases, lymph node metastases, peritoneal metastases, performance status, treatment lines, and combinations of drug types. Baseline CA19-9 levels were not associated with systemic immunoinflammatory index, prognostic nutritional index, and total bilirubin. A 25% or 50% decrease in CA19-9 after 2-3 therapy courses indicated short-term efficacy in reaching tumor objective remission or disease control. Both combinations of multiple drug types and a 25% decline in CA19-9 after one course of treatment were independent prognostic factors that affected the longer progression-free survival of patients receiving first or second line of treatment.
Conclusion
Decreased CA19-9 kinetics has specific values in predicting the efficacy and prognosis of advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To analyze the application effect of small private online course (SPOC)-based maker education in oncology surgical nursing teaching.Methods:This study enrolled 105 nursing students who completed their internship in the Department of Oncology Surgery from January 2022 to September 2023. The subjects were divided into control group ( n=52, conventional teaching) and observation group ( n=53, SPOC-based maker education) according to their admission order. Before and after teaching, students were evaluated on the theoretical knowledge, operational skills, nursing practice ability, innovation ability, self-learning ability, professional identity, and teamwork ability. The Medical Education Satisfaction Scale (MESS-21) was used to evaluate teaching outcomes. Data were analyzed using the t-test and chi-square test with SPSS 25.0. Results:After teaching, the observation group had higher scores than the control group in theoretical knowledge [(93.60±12.53) vs. (85.90±10.49)], operational skills [(92.63±12.40) vs. (83.75±10.27)], nursing practice ability [(93.50±12.81) vs. (84.72±11.43)], and innovation ability [(91.68±12.53) vs. (80.20±8.37)]; this was also true for learning motivation [(16.63±4.76) vs. (12.90±3.85)], planning and implementation [(16.83±4.77) vs. (13.54±4.32)], self-management [(15.49±4.60) vs. (13.42±4.13)], interpersonal communication [(14.74±4.53) vs. (11.77±3.59)], POIS-M score [(84.61±8.84) vs. (63.53±6.48)], and T-TAQ score [(53.90±5.07) vs. (46.75±4.02)] (all P<0.05). The observation group also had significantly higher scores than the control group in clarity of teaching objectives [(13.58±3.47) vs. (9.14±2.66)], practicality of teaching content [(13.50±3.69) vs. (10.62±2.81)], and supportiveness of teaching resources [(13.92±3.58) vs. (8.88±2.34)]. Conclusions:SPOC-based maker education offers significant advantages in oncology surgical nursing teaching. It effectively enhances nursing students' theoretical knowledge, operational skills, nursing practice ability, innovation ability, self-learning ability, professional identity, and teamwork ability and it is highly valued by students. Its novelty and effectiveness provide new ideas for oncology surgical nursing teaching.
