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.

Objective:To observe the changes in serum estradiol (E 2) levels in pregnant women of different gestational weeks and their predictive value for early intrauterine pregnancy outcomes. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted involving 375 pregnant women who were treated at the Affiliated Yangming Hospital of Ningbo University (Yuyao People's Hospital) from September 2021 to September 2023. The clinical data were categorized based on pregnancy outcomes into three groups: a normal pregnancy group ( n = 150), a threatened miscarriage with continued pregnancy group ( n = 150), and a miscarriage group ( n = 75). The serum estradiol (E 2) levels at different gestational weeks were compared among the three groups: 5 to < 6 weeks (35-41 days), 6 to < 7 weeks (42-48 days), and 7 to 8 weeks (49-55 days). The predictive value of serum E 2 levels for early intrauterine pregnancy outcomes across different gestational weeks was analyzed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves. Results:In the normal pregnancy group, the serum E 2 levels at different gestational weeks were as follows: (1 691.87 ± 532.21) pmol/L for 5 to < 6 weeks, (2 376.64 ± 788.36) pmol/L for 6 to < 7 weeks, and (3 576.30 ± 1,190.06) pmol/L for 7 to 8 weeks. These values were significantly higher than those in the threatened miscarriage with continued pregnancy group [(1 409.28 ± 473.49) pmol/L, (1 893.13 ± 563.15) pmol/L, (2 035.79 ± 612.47) pmol/L, t = 5.15, 11.68, 6.60, all P < 0.05] and the miscarriage group [(906.49 ± 338.09) pmol/L, (923.63 ± 365.39) pmol/L, (950.27 ± 378.89) pmol/L, t = 16.19, 15.45, 21.50, all P < 0.05]. The serum E 2 levels at different gestational weeks in the threatened miscarriage with continued pregnancy group were significantly higher than those in the miscarriage group ( t = 7.48, 10.81, 8.89, all P < 0.05). Both the normal pregnancy group and the threatened miscarriage with continued pregnancy group showed an increasing trend in serum E 2 levels with advancing gestational weeks ( t = 6.74, 18.55, 7.58, 9.82, 11.81, 2.24, all P < 0.05). In contrast, the serum E 2 levels in the miscarriage group also increased with advancing gestational weeks, but the differences were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). The results from the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the areas under the curve for predicting early intrauterine pregnancy outcomes based on serum E 2 levels at different gestational weeks were 0.857, 0.810, and 0.839, demonstrating excellent diagnostic efficacy. Conclusions:Dynamic monitoring of serum E 2 levels is beneficial for predicting early intrauterine pregnancy outcomes and providing guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate improvement measures for post-examination service quality in health management centres based on the SERVQUAL model and quality function development theory.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A convenience sampling method was used to select 454 health check-up individuals from the Health Management Centre of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital in June-July 2024 as the study population. Based on the SERVQUAL model, a questionnaire was constructed on the demand for post-examination services at the health management center, the weights of customer needs and technical measures were determined, and a quality house was built using the quality function development theory to determine the priority order of the improvement measures.Results:The top three service demand items that customers focused on most were home visit service [ AB m=6.10(1.13×5.40)], medical staff empathy [ AB m=6.05(1.17×5.17)], and senior expert health consultation [ AB m=6.02(1.16×5.19)]; the top five technical measures in terms of importance were personalized service [ R t=12.82(283.99/2 214.62)], enhancement of medical staff training[ R t=11.63(257.66/2 214.62)], induction of high-level talents [ R t=7.88(174.57/2 214.62)], interpretation quality of medical examination reports [ R t=7.60(168.40/2 214.62)], and reminder management of abnormal indicators [ R t=7.02(155.57/2 214.62)]. Conclusions:The SERVQUAL model and quality function development theory can provide a viable methodological reference for quality improvement of post-examination service in healthcare centers.

Objective:To explore the impact of a three-dimensional management based on a perinatal one-day clinic on pregnancy outcomes in overweight and obese pregnant women.Methods:It was a randomized controlled trial. A simple random sampling method was used to select 460 singleton pregnant women with a pre-pregnancy body mass index≥24 kg/m2 who had regular prenatal check-ups at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022. The women were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group (230 cases each) using a computer-generated random number table. The control group received regular prenatal check-ups according to the pregnancy care guidelines (once every 4 weeks during mid-pregnancy, once every 2 weeks during late pregnancy, with additional frequency as needed based on the condition). The control group also received a one-time body composition analysis and dietary guidance from a nutritionist at the time of registration. In addition to the control group′s interventions, the experimental group received three-dimensional management based on a perinatal one-day clinic. It included an intensive one-day clinic session, a traditional plus internet-based re-education model (as needed based on the condition), individualized guidance from obstetrics and clinical nutrition clinics (once every 2 weeks), a free body composition test at 24 weeks of pregnancy, and weekly WeChat group push of health care knowledge during pregnancy. A total of 55 cases dropped out, leaving 200 cases in the experimental group and 205 cases in the control group for analysis. General information, pregnancy-related, and postpartum indicators were collected in the two groups. The effect of three-dimensional management based on a perinatal one-day clinic on pregnancy outcomes in overweight and obese pregnant women was analyzed using t-tests and chi-square tests. Results:There was no significant differences in baseline age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, initial blood glucose, initial glycated hemoglobin, or initial gestational age between the two groups (all P>0.05). The experimental group showed significantly lower gestational weight gain, neonatal weight, and proportion of excessive pregnancy weight gain compared to those in the control group [(11.41±5.23) vs (13.22±4.51) kg, (3 352.1±465.3) vs (3 489.5±464.0) g, 48.00% vs 73.17%] (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hospitalization days, gestational age at delivery, incidence of gestational diabetes, incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, incidence of premature rupture of membranes, incidence of preterm birth, incidence of macrosomia, vaginal delivery rate and rate of neonatal transfer to the pediatric department between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Early intervention with the three-dimensional management based on the one-day perinatal clinic can effectively control gestational weight gain and neonatal weight in overweight and obese pregnant women.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term protective efficacy of the recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cell-derived hepatitis B vaccine（CHO-HepB）26 years post-vaccination in the rural China.Methods:Zhengding county，Hebei province was designated as a rural monitoring site for CHO-HepB efficacy. Study participants included individuals born between 1997 and 1999 who had completed the three-dose CHO-HepB primary series without booster doses. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in late 2024 using random sampling. Demographic and vaccination history data were collected via questionnaires，and hepatitis B virus（HBV）serological markers were detected using chemiluminescence. Historical surveillance data were integrated to infer infection statuses of HBsAg-positive individuals and evaluate longitudinal trends in anti-HBs seropositivity and antibody titers.Results:Among 178 participants（mean time since vaccination：26.2 years），the seroprevalence rates were 0.6% for HBsAg（95% CI：0.0%-1.6%），64.6% for anti-HBs（95% CI：57.6%-71.6%），and 1.1% for anti-HBc（95% CI：0.0%-2.7%）. Compared to the pre-vaccination baseline HBsAg positivity of 11.3% in children under 10 years of age，the estimated vaccine protection rate was 95%. Two notable cases were identified：one with concurrent HBsAg and anti-HBc positivity and one with anti-HBs and anti-HBc positivity，suggestive of transient HBV exposure（1999—2009）without chronicity. Natural immune boosting was inferred for the latter case based on anti-HBs titer dynamics. Longitudinal analysis of four prior cross-sectional surveys（2005，2009，2013，and 2017）revealed no significant upward trends in HBsAg and anti-HBc positivity（both P>0.05）over 26 years，while anti-HBs seropositivity declined significantly（ P<0.05）from 6 to 26 years post-vaccination. Conclusion:The CHO-HepB vaccine demonstrates sustained immunological persistence and robust long-term protection up to 26 years post-immunization. Continued emphasis on rigorous implementation of mother-to-child transmission prevention strategies is critical for future hepatitis B control.

Objective:To construct an indicator system for entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric specialist physician training.Methods:A draft indicator system for EPAs in the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric physician training was developed through core EPAs working group discussion, literature review, nominal group discussion, and expert consultation. Subsequently, the indicator system was preliminarily implemented and revised.Results:The core EPAs working group consisted of nine specialist physician trainers. In the initial brainstorming stage, a "potential list" of 30 activities was established. After literature review and collation, the draft indicator system included eight EPAs. Through nominal group discussion, the connotation of the draft was enriched, and the importance of the EPAs was ranked and modified. Finally, through expert consultation, the EPAs for the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric specialist physician training were determined. These included basic operations for the treatment of critically ill children, identification and management of critical illnesses, referral of critically ill children, perioperative management, in-hospital consultation, medical and teaching management and system improvement, doctor-patient communication and dispute handling, and response to public health events. During the preliminary implementation stage, a total of nine specialist physicians who participated in the training were evaluated. Based on the problems found in the pre-evaluation, the indicators of EPAs were revised, and a corresponding curriculum training system was developed.Conclusions:Through multiple rounds of nominal group discussion and expert consultation, the indicator system for EPAs in the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric specialist physician training was formulated. The system was preliminarily implemented and revised, and a curriculum system was constructed.

Objective:To analyze the predictive factors associated with late-onset sepsis(LOS) in very low birth weight infants,and to develop a risk prediction score scale applicable to these infants three days postnatal.This will provide valuable insights for early diagnosis and timely intervention.Methods:Very low birth weight infants admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 1,2022,to June 30,2024,were selected as research subjects.These infants were categorized into two groups:the LOS group and the non-LOS group,based on whether they developed LOS.LASSO regression analysis,alongside univariate and multivariate regression analyses,was employed to identify predictive factors for LOS in this population.A Logistic model was constructed using the optimal combination of predictive variables,and a risk assessment scale was subsequently developed.The prediction performance of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square test and the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 444 cases of very low birth weight infants were included,of which 185 had LOS and 259 did not.After screening the variables,seven independent factors were included into the model:birth weight,gestational age,tracheal intubation,abnormal skin color,abdominal distension,elevated C-reactive protein levels,and right hand perfusion index.A predictive scoring scale was developed based on the regression coefficients of each variable,with corresponding risk scores assigned as follows:1,4,3,2,1,1,and 2; a score of ≥3.5 indicated high-risk groups.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test results demonstrated that χ2 = 7.602( P = 0.473).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.792 ( P<0.001),with a sensitivity of 73.5% and specificity of 71.0%. Conclusion:The risk score scale developed in this study exhibits significant predictive capability,providing valuable insights for clinical medical personnel to assess the risk of LOS in very low birth weight infants during the early postnatal period.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of predictive nursing based on root cause analysis in patients undergoing cesarean section.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 180 women who underwent cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from September 2021 to October 2022. According to the random number table method, they were divided into a control group ( n=90) and an observation group ( n=90). The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received predictive nursing based on root cause analysis. Compared the pain intensity at 24 hours after cesarean section and the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups of parturients. Results:The Visual Analog Scale scores at 24 hours post-cesarean section and the overall incidence of postoperative complications were lower in the observation group than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Predictive nursing based on root cause analysis can effectively relieve postoperative pain and reduce the incidence of complications in patients undergoing cesarean section with combined spinal-epidural anesthesia.

Objectives:To analyze the effects of prone position ventilation in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO).Methods:A systematic search was conducted in databases including CNKI,Wanfang Data,China Biomedical Literature Database,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,and Web of Science,from the inception of each database to October 2024,to identify studies on prone position ventilation for ECMO patients.Two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted data,and assessed the quality of the studies.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 10 studies were included in this analysis,comprising 2 randomized controlled trials and 8 cohort studies.A total of 1 513 patients were included,674 were in the prone position ventilation group and 839 were in the supine position ventilation group.Analysis results of 6 studies showed that compared with supine position ventilation,prone position ventilation could increase the successful weaning rate of ECMO(OR=1.47,95%CI:1.07-2.01,P=0.02).Analysis results of 8 studies showed that compared with supine position ventilation,prone position ventilation could prolong the duration of ECMO treatment(mean difference[MD]=4.86 days,95%CI:0.95-8.77,P=0.01).Analysis results of 6 studies showed that the length of stay in the intensive care unit in the prone position ventilation group was significantly longer than that in the supine position ventilation group(MD=5.16 days,95%CI:1.08-9.25,P=0.01).Analysis results of 5 studies showed that the total length of hospital stay in the prone position ventilation group was significantly longer than that in the supine position ventilation group(MD=7.72 days,95%CI:2.10-13.34,P<0.01).Analysis results of 6 studies showed that compared with supine position ventilation,prone position ventilation could prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation(MD=6.06 days,95%CI:0.63-11.49,P=0.03).Prone position ventilation had no obvious advantage in improving patient survival rate.Conclusions:Prone position ventilation can improve the successful weaning rate from ECMO and prolong the duration of ECMO treatment as well as the duration of mechanical ventilation,but it has no significant impact on patient survival rate.Due to the generally small sample size in the studies,further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm the effective impact of prone position ventilation in patients receiving ECMO treatment.

Narrow leaf 1 (NAL1) plays an important role in plant branching, while little is known about the roles of this gene in petunias. In this study, PhNAL1b was cloned from Petunia×hybrida cv. Mitchell Diploid, with a total length of 1 767 bp, encoding a protein composed of 588 amino acid residues and containing the peptidase S64 domain. The PhNAL1b promoter region contained several elements involved in the responses to auxin, jasmonic acid, abscisic acid, and light. The expression analysis showed that PhNAL1b had the highest expression level in roots and the lowest expression level in flowers, and its transcription could be inhibited by decapitation and cytokinin. The subcellular localization analysis showed that PhNAL1b was located in the nucleus and was a nuclear protein. Virus-induced gene silencing was employed to downregulate the expression of PhNAL1b, which resulted in significant increases in branch number and plant height. The results indicated that PhNAL1b played an important role in regulating the branching of petunias. This study lays a foundation for revealing the mechanism of NAL1 in regulating branch development and provides genetic resources for plant architecture improvement.
