OBJECTIVE To systematically analyze the compatibility stability of commonly used intravenous antibiotics in the intensive care unit (ICU), and to provide evidence-based support for rational clinical drug use. METHODS Medication data from the ICU of Hebei General Hospital between January and December 2024 were extracted from the Prescription Automatic Screening System. Commonly used intravenous antibiotics and other intravenous drugs in the ICU were selected through consultations with critical care and pharmacy experts in Hebei province, drug package inserts and compatibility information retrieved from Micromedex, Trissel’s Injectable Drug Handbook and PubMed. The physicochemical stability of drug combinations was analyzed. In addition, Cytoscape 3.10.2 software was used to construct a drug compatibility network for identifying high-risk drugs. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS A total of 904 pairwise drug combinations involving 16 antibacterial agents and 65 intravenous drugs were collected. Among them, 549 combinations (60.7%) were compatible, 88 combinations (9.7%) were incompatible, 82 combinations (9.1%) had conflicting evidence, and 185 combinations (20.5%) lacked valid data support. High-risk combination drugs primarily involved Amphotericin B for injection, Ceftazidime for injection, Imipenem-cilastatin for injection, Ceftriaxone sodium for injection, Vancomycin hydrochloride for injection, etc. The main risk factors for drug-drug incompatibility included drug concentration, temperature, mixing rate, pH, and chemical structure. In clinical practice, drugs and diluents should be selected rationally based on specific compatibility data, and research and monitoring of drug compatibility should be further strengthened.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(2):163-167
Objective:
To evaluate the classroom environmental management and CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary schools from Liaoning, Tianjin, and Shanghai, thereby providing a scientific basis for developing targeted strategies to improve classroom air quality.
Methods:
From December 16 to 26, 2024, by using stratified random cluster sampling method, the questionnaire survey was conducted in 72 primary and secondary schools (24 each of primary, junior high, and regular high schools) across Liaoning, Tianjin and Shanghai. Information on heating, ventilation and other classroom environmental management was collected. Additionally, 108 classrooms were selected for on site microclimate measurements, including temperature, humidity, wind speed and CO 2 volume concentration. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression models were employed to explore related factors of classroom CO 2 volume concentration.
Results:
Among the three provinces/municipalities, 20.8% of schools regularly monitored the microclimate. The overall compliance rate for classroom CO 2 volume concentration was 17.6%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CO 2 volume concentration in regular and junior high school classrooms were higher than in primary school classrooms ( β=0.067, 0.046, 95%CI =0.036-0.099, 0.013-0.080); classrooms ventilated regularly in the morning and afternoon had higher CO 2 volume concentration than those ventilated during every break between classes ( β=0.043, 95%CI = 0.007- 0.080); both temperature ( β=0.010, 95%CI =0.004-0.016) and humidity ( β=0.003, 95%CI =0.002-0.004) were positively correlated with CO 2 volume concentration (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Excessive CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary school classrooms is a prominent issue, and ventilation frequency is a key intervenable factor for controlling CO 2 levels. It is recommended to promote ventilation during every break between classes as a core management measure and to emphasize air quality supervision in regular high school classrooms.

ObjectiveTo develop a novel clinical predictive model for metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) based on metabolic markers and anthropometric indicators, and to provide a more effective tool for the early screening and intervention of MAFLD. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 2 824 individuals who underwent abdominal color Doppler ultrasound at Health Examination Center of The First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025, and at a ratio of 7∶3, they were randomly divided into training set with 1 976 patients and validation set with 848 patients. Clinical data, serological markers, and abdominal ultrasound results were collected from all patients, and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, and anthropometric indicators were calculated. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed or approximately normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data with skewed distribution between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictive factors for MAFLD and intermediate- to high-risk MAFLD. Five risk prediction models were established for MAFLD based on the independent influencing factors, and a nomogram was plotted. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to assess model performance, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the models, and decision curve analysis was used to assess the clinical practicability of the models. These models were then compared with traditional models. ResultsAmong the 1 976 individuals in the training set, 937 (47.42%) were diagnosed with MAFLD, and 423 (21.41%) were diagnosed with intermediate- to high-risk MAFLD; among the 848 individuals in the validation set, 406 (47.88%) were diagnosed with MAFLD. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male sex (odds ratio [OR]=0.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13 — 0.39, P<0.05), waist circumference (OR=1.11, 95%CI: 1.06 — 1.17, P<0.05), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >40 U/L (OR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.44 — 3.51, P<0.05), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (OR=0.07, 95%CI: 0.04 — 0.15, P<0.05), TyG index (OR=8.27, 95%CI: 5.09 — 13.44, P<0.05), TG/HDL-C ratio (OR=0.84, 95%CI: 0.71 — 0.99, P<0.05), A Body Shape Index (ABSI) (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.39 — 0.52, P<0.05), and body roundness index (BRI) (OR=2.31, 95%CI: 1.50 — 3.55, P<0.05) were independent influencing factors for MAFLD, and male sex (OR=0.17, 95%CI: 0.10 — 0.31, P<0.05), age (OR=1.09, 95%CI: 1.07 — 1.11, P<0.05), hemoglobin (OR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.97 — 0.98, P<0.05), platelet count (OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.70 — 0.93, P<0.05), fasting blood glucose (OR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.71 — 0.89, P<0.05), triglycerides (OR=0.14, 95%CI: 0.07 — 0.29, P<0.05), TG/HDL-C ratio (OR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.67 — 0.91, P<0.05), TyG index (OR=5.26, 95%CI: 3.32 — 8.33), waist circumference (OR=2.50, 95%CI: 1.72 — 3.61, P<0.05), ABSI (OR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.51 — 0.66, P<0.05), and BRI (OR=0.01, 95%CI: 0.00 — 0.21, P<0.05) were independent influencing factors for intermediate- to high-risk MAFLD. Among the five models established, model 5 (incorporating sex, ALT elevation, HDL-C, TyG index, TG/HDL-C ratio, waist circumference, and ABSI) had the best performance, with an AUC of 0.917 (95%CI: 0.905 — 0.929) in the training set and 0.911 (95%CI: 0.892 — 0.930) in the validation set. The calibration curve showed that model 5 had good predictive accuracy, and the decision curve analysis confirmed its clinical practicability. ConclusionThe predictive model for MAFLD constructed based on metabolic markers and anthropometric indicators has good discriminatory ability and can be used to assess the risk of MAFLD. In addition, this study shows that waist circumference, TyG index, TG/HDL-C ratio, ABSI, and BRI are independently associated with intermediate- to high-risk MAFLD, but further studies are needed to confirm their value in predicting liver fibrosis progression.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the stability and compatibility of butorphanol, nicardipine, urapidil, and tirofiban. METHODS A micro-infusion pump was used to simulate the infusion process. Samples were collected in real time from the needle tip at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h after mixing of the four drugs. The appearance, pH, and number of insoluble particles were examined. The contents of butorphanol, nicardipine, urapidil, and tirofiban were determined using the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography method. RESULTS Within 8 hours, all mixed solutions remained clear and transparent, with no visible turbidity, precipitation, color change, or gas generation. The pH fluctuation ranged from 0.02 to 0.09, both within 0.1 pH units. The number of insoluble particles ≥10 μm in size in each compatibility solution was ≤9, and the number of insoluble particles ≥25 μm was ≤2, meeting the requirements of the 2025 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (Volume Ⅳ). The relative percentage contents of butorphanol, nicardipine, urapidil, and tirofiban at 8 hours after compatibility mixing ranged from 92.38% to 113.40%. CONCLUSIONS Within 8 hours under simulated clinical micro-infusion pump infusion conditions, the stability and compatibility of the mixed solution containing butorphanol, nicardipine, urapidil, and tirofiban were satisfactory.

China Pharmacy 2025;36(16):2062-2066
OBJECTIVE To provide references for pharmaceutical care in the anti-infective treatment of disseminated Talaromyces marneffei (TM)osteomyelitis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patient. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the entire treatment process of a HIV-negative patient with disseminated TM osteomyelitis complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis. The pharmacist assisted the clinician in formulating an individualized treatment plan and improving the diagnosis based on the patient’s clinical symptoms, signs, laboratory tests, and imaging findings. Recommendations included the use of amphotericin B cholesteryl sulfate complex for antifungal therapy, the completion of a tuberculin skin test and sputum acid-fast bacilli test. The pharmacist monitored the patient’s clinical manifestations and laboratory results in real time. Upon timely detection of hypokalemia in the patient, after analyzing the causes, oral and then intravenous potassium supplementation was sequentially recommended, along with adjustments to the treatment plan (switching to itraconazole and combining it with a four-drug antituberculosis regimen of isoniazid+rifampicin+pyrazinamide+ethambutol). Meanwhile, monitoring of itraconazole blood concentration was also advised. Additionally, the clinical pharmacist closely monitored the patient’s medication adherence and provided medication education. RESULTS The clinicians accepted the clinical pharmacist’s recommendations. The patient improved after treatment and was discharged. One-year follow-up showed that the patient was cured without adverse reactions. CONCLUSIONS Amphotericin B cholesteryl sulfate complex is an effective therapeutic agent for disseminated TM osteomyelitis in HIV-negative patients. Prolonging the course of treatment can prevent recurrence. During therapy, clinical pharmacists should strengthen pharmaceutical care as well as provide medication and health education to ensure patient safety.

Objective:
To analyze the trajectories of body mass index for age z-score (BAZ) and its influencing factors among children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) based on latent class growth modeling (LCGM), so as to provide the evidence for improving treatment measures and optimizing growth management among children with CH. Methods Children with CH aged 0 to 3 years from the Newborn Disease Screening Center of Shanxi Children's Hospital (Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital) between 2017 and 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Basic information, height and weight data from 3 to 36 months of age, age at treatment initiation, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels at diagnosis, and family information were retrospectively collected. BAZ for children with CH at each month of age was calculated based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. The trajectories of BAZ were analyzed using LCGM, and factors affecting the trajectories of BAZ among children with CH were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model.
Methods:
Children with CH aged 0 to 3 years from the Newborn Disease Screening Center of Shanxi Children's Hospital (Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital) between 2017 and 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Basic information, height and weight data from 3 to 36 months of age, age at treatment initiation, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels at diagnosis, and family information were retrospectively collected. BAZ for children with CH at each month of age was calculated based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. The trajectories of BAZ were analyzed using LCGM, and factors affecting the trajectories of BAZ among children with CH were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 299 children with CH were included. There were 140 boys (46.82%) and 159 girls (53.18%). The median of BAZ was 0.50 (interquartile range, 1.68). The LCGM analysis categorized the subjects into three groups: the persistent high-growth pattern group with 24 cases (8.03%), the slow-growth pattern group with 39 cases (13.04%), and the appropriate-growth pattern group with 236 cases (78.93%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that compared to the children with CH in the appropriate-growth pattern group, those who started treatment at the age of 30 to 60 days (OR=0.109, 95%CI: 0.016-0.732; OR=0.166, 95%CI: 0.032-0.852) had a lower risk of persistent high-growth and slow-growth patterns; CH children with TSH levels of 50 to 150 mIU/L at diagnosis (OR=3.554, 95%CI: 1.201-10.514) and those whose paternal had a senior high school/technical secondary school education (OR=2.975, 95%CI: 1.003-8.823) exhibited a higher risk of the persistent high-growth pattern. Conversely, CH children whose paternal reproductive age was 30 to 35 years (OR=0.166, 95%CI: 0.034-0.806) had a lower risk of the persistent high-growth pattern.
Conclusions
The BAZ trajectory of children with CH aged 0 to 3 years exhibited three patterns: persistent high-growth, slow-growth, and appropriate-growth. The persistent high-growth and slow-growth patterns were associated with treatment timing, TSH levels at diagnosis, paternal reproductive age, and paternal education level. It is recommended to strengthen early treatment interventions and provide family follow-up guidance.
