Objective To establish the drug use evaluation(DUE)standard of bivalirudin for injection,and to evaluate the use of the drug by weighted TOPSIS method,so as to provide a reference for rational use of bivalirudin.Methods Based on the package insert,clinical guidelines and consensus of experts of bivalirudin,the DUE standards were developed,and the weighted TOPSIS method was used to evaluate the rationality of the discharge medical records of Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 1st to June 30th in 2022.Results Incorporating 108 medical records involving the use of bivalirudin for injection,88 cases(81.48％)exhibited a high degree of adherence(Ci≥0.8)between the prescribed drug regimens and the optimal recommendations,which is considered reasonable.Additionally,19 cases(17.59％)fell within the range of 0.6＜Ci＜0.8,indicating a generally reasonable adherence.Only one case(0.93％)had a Ci＜0.6,suggesting an unreasonable level of adherence.The irrational situations about various evaluation indicators in the DUE were mainly manifested in the inappropriate dosages of administration(12.04％),inappropriate disposal of adverse reactions(11.11％),using medicine with contraindications(3.70％),using medicine without indication(1.85％),inappropriate monitoring of adverse reactions(0.93％),etc.Conclusion The established DUE standards for bivalirudin are intuitive and comprehensive,and the evaluation results show that there are some unreasonable situations in the use of bivalirudin in the hospital,and it is necessary to standardize the use of bivalirudin in terms of dosages,disposal of adverse reactions,indication and contraindication.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)are widely used to treat osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis,and acute and chronic painful diseases.Significant interindividual heterogeneity in the efficacy of NSAIDs has been found in patients,which can lead to treatment failure or life-threatening adverse drug reactions.This review will discuss the causes of the variability in the efficacy of NSAIDs in terms of CYP2C9 enzyme gene polymorphism,cyclooxygenase enzyme gene polymorphism,and differences in the intestinal microbiota,to provide a reference for the development of individualized dosing regimens for NSAIDs.

Objective:To investigate the effects of evidence-based precision nursing in patients with sarcopenia undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) .Methods:By convenience sampling, totally 41 TKA patients with sarcopenia treated in the Department of Orthopedics at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the control group, and 41 TKA patients with sarcopenia treated from March 2022 to March 2023 as the observation group. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing care, while patients in the observation group received an evidence-based precision nursing plan. The differences in muscle mass, grip strength, physical activity ability, knee joint function, and quality of life between the two groups before and after the intervention were compared.Results:After the intervention, the total muscle mass, affected limb skeletal muscle mass, limb skeletal muscle mass, limb skeletal muscle mass index, and grip strength in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P< 0.05). The scores on the Short Physical Performance Battery, Lysholm Score, and Sarcopenia Quality of Life Scale in the observation group were also significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Evidence-based precision nursing can improve postoperative muscle mass and strength, enhance physical activity ability and joint function, and improve the quality of life in TKA patients with sarcopenia.

Objective:To construct an estimating equation to accurately reflect the aging phenomenon of the glomerular filtration rate(GFR).Methods:Healthy subjects receiving physical examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2017 and April 2018 were included in the study, and the aging phenomenon of renal function indicators such as serum creatinine(Scr)was used as the reference standard to evaluate the accuracy of four Scr-based GFR equations during GFR aging, including the full age spectrum(FAS)equation, the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration(CKD-EPI)equation, the Osaka equation and the Xiangya equation.Results:Of 37 636 individuals receiving physical examinations, 6 534 met the criteria specified in this study.Scr, serum urea nitrogen, serum uric acid, and serum albumin showed a significant aging phenomenon( H=191.640, 196.693, 83.271, 414.585, P<0.001 for all).The GFR estimated by the four equations all decreased with aging, but the starting point and rate of decline were significantly different.The GFR aging phenomenon estimated by the FAS equation was closer to the trend of renal function indicators. Conclusions:The FAS equation may be more applicable to healthy people to understand the aging phenomenon of GFR.

Objective:To explore the level of physical activity of Chinese adults with haemophilia and its related factors so as to provide a reference for their comprehensive management.Methods:The daily physical activity of adults with haemophilia was surveyed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). A total of 110 questionnaires were eligible for analysis at last. The results were compared with published data from other societies using independent sample t-tests and chi squared tests. Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were applied to explore factors related to the subjects′ physical activity levels.Results:Fully 30.9% of the subjects claimed to maintain a high level of physical activity. This was significantly different from the distribution of physical activity observed in Japan (12.4%), Ireland (50.9%) and the United Kingdom (43.1%). According to the Spearman correlation analysis, the number of joints affected, anxiety, and depression are all significantly related to the level of physical activity among such adults. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that depression was an independent factor affecting the patients′ level of physical activities.Conclusion:Chinese and Japanese adults with hemophilia have relatively low levels of physical activity, possibly influenced by depression.

Objective To analysis the effectiveness and cost of Internet-based anticoagulation clinic versus traditional anticoagulation clinic treatment at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods We reviewed and analyzed the clinical data of patients receiving anticoagulation management through Internet-based outpatient care and traditional outpatient care in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,from June 1,2020 to June 30,2021.Variability in time in therapeutic range(TTR)and international normalized ratio(INR)were calculated for enrolled patients.Patients meeting TTR≥60%and INR variability<0.65 were considered optimal anticoagulation quality.Cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the patients'perspective,with results expressed using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER).Results In the"Internet-based anticoagulation outpatient care"and"traditional face-to-face anticoagulation outpatient care"groups,19 individuals(67.86%)and 67 individuals(76.14%)met the criteria for optimal anticoagulation quality,respectively.The mean TTR was(71.83±19.17)%in the Internet-based group and(71.74±23.41)%in the traditional face-to-face group,indicating similar levels of warfarin anticoagulation quality between the two groups.The ICER was calculated as 327.17 yuan,less than the per capita gross domestic product(GDP)of 2021.Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic,Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital's Internet-based anticoagulation outpatient care effectively complemented the government's epidemic control policies.It ensured equivalent anticoagulation outcomes and significantly reduced patients'financial burdens.This approach offers new insights and guidance for optimizing healthcare services in the post-pandemic era.

During the pain treatment process,to reduce the use of opioids,alternative pain relievers have been used.Increasing data indicated that N-methyl-D-aspartic acid(NMDA)receptor antagonists may enhance the analgesic effect of opioids.Furthermore,numerous studies have shown that the auxiliary analgesic effect of magnesium sulfate has a good application prospect in pain treatment and perioperative anesthesia.The primary pharmacological mechanism of magnesium sulfate in pain treatment is that it acts as a physiological voltage-dependent blocker of NMDA coupling channels,and its anti-nociceptive effect is related to magnesium blocking calcium inflow,thereby inhibiting central sensitization and reducing preexisting hyperalgesia.This paper reviewed the current application of magnesium sulfate in perioperative period,focusing on its auxiliary analgesic effect through intravenous,intrathecal,and local administration,and the reduction of opioid consumption.As well as its potential role and application prospects in opioid-free anesthesia program.

Myocardial infarction is the most common cause of heart failure,and myocardial remodeling can occur after infarction,thus contributing to the progression of heart failure.The occurrence of post-infarction ventricular remode-ling is closely related to m6A methylation.m6A methylation is a reversible and highly dynamic process.This process is mainly mediated by m6A methylation positive and negative regulatory enzymes and is involved in the occurrence of post-in-farction myocardial remodeling through mechanisms such as cellular autophagy.This article mainly reviews relevant litera-ture in recent years.Firstly,a brief introduction is given to m6A methylation,followed by an introduction to the role of m6A methylase in regulating myocardial remodeling.Finally,a summary analysis is conducted on the mechanism of m6A methylation in regulating myocardial remodeling from the perspectives of autophagy,inflammation,cell apoptosis,calcium ion homeostasis,extracellular matrix remodeling,and ferroptosis.The feasibility of using m6A methylation serological de-tection as a diagnostic tool for myocardial remodeling after myocardial infarction is discussed,in order to provide reference for related research.

Objectives To investigate the relationship between self-reported occupational noise exposure and levels of plasma inflammatory cytokines in asthmatic patients. Methods A total of 910 adult asthmatic patients were selected as the study subjects, and their occupational noise exposure history and other related information were collected. The peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients, and the expression levels of plasma soluble CD14 (sCD14), complement factor D (CFD), Eotaxin-11 (CCL11), and IL-9 were determined. The relationship between self-reported occupational noise exposure and the expression levels of the four inflammatory cytokines in patients’ plasma were analyzed using multiple linear regression models. The interactions between confounding factors and self-reported occupational noise exposure were further analyzed by interaction analysis. Results The plasma CCL11, sCD14 and CFD expressions in asthmatic patients with self-reported occupational noise exposure were significantly higher than those in patients without the exposure (P<0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, compared with patients reporting no occupational noise exposure, the plasma CFD expression was increased by 0.17 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.31) natural logarithm units in patients with self-reported occupational noise exposure. During remission, the levels of plasma CCL11 and sCD14 in asthmatic patients with self-reported occupational noise exposure were increased by 0.27 (95% CI: 0.05, 0.49) and 0.22 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.41) natural logarithm units, respectively, when compared with patients without the exposure. Interaction analysis showed that self-reported occupational noise exposure had significant multiplicative interaction with smoking or pet ownership on plasma CCL11 or CFD expressions in asthmatic patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion Self-reported occupational noise exposure is significantly associated with increased expression levels of plasma CFD, CCL11, and sCD14 in adult asthmatic patients.

Objective To investigate the value of peripheral blood soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R),CD4+lymphocyte percentage/CD8+lymphocyte percentage ratio(hereinafter referred to as CD4+/CD8+)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in evaluating the efficacy of chemotherapy in elderly patients with newly treated active pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods A total of 102 elderly patients with newly treated active tu-berculosis admitted to the hospital from December 2019 to December 2022 were enrolled in the study as the observation group,and 102 healthy people aged 60 and older who underwent physical examination in the hos-pital during the same period were enrolled as the control group.The levels of sIL-2R,TNF-α and CD4+/CD8+in peripheral blood were compared between the two groups,and the correlations between sIL-2R,TNF-α and CD4+/CD8+were analyzed.The observation group was treated with 2HRZE/4HR anti-tuberculosis treatment regimen.The levels of sIL-2R,TNF-α and CD4+/CD8+in peripheral blood of patients with different efficacy before treatment,1 month and 6 months after treatment in the observation group were compared.The correla-tion between sIL-2R,CD4+/CD8+,TNF-α levels and therapeutic effect was analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the efficacy of indicators in evaluating the efficacy of chemo-therapy in elderly patients.Results The levels of sIL-2R and TNF-α in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while CD4+/CD8+was lower than that in the control group,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).In the observation group,sIL-2R and TNF-α were negatively correlated with CD4+/CD8+(P＜0.05),sIL-2R was positively correlated with TNF-α(P＜0.05).After 1 month and 6 months of treatment,the levels of sIL-2R and TNF-α in patients with apparent efficacy were low-er than those in patients with efficacy,and the latter were lower than those in patients with no effect,while the CD4+/CD8+in patients with apparent efficacy was higher than that in patients with efficacy,and the latter was higher than that in patients with no efficacy,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The levels of sIL-2R and TNF-α were negatively correlated with the efficacy(P＜0.05),and CD4+/CD8+was positively correlated with the efficacy(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of sIL-2R,CD4+/CD8+,and TNF-α used in combination to assess efficacy was significantly greater than the AUCs of the single indicators used in the assessment at each time point of treatment(P＜0.05),and the AUC of the combination of the indicators was greater after 6 months of treatment than after 1 month of treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of sIL-2R,CD4+/CD8+and TNF-α are closely related to the ef-ficacy of chemotherapy in elderly patients with newly treated active pulmonary tuberculosis,and the combina-tion of the above indicators has certain reference value in evaluating the efficacy of chemotherapy in patients.
