Objective To study the inhibitory effect of secondary metabolites of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA)on Candida albicans(CA)and to explore some of the mechanisms.Methods PA and CA strains were i-solated from clinical specimens from the hospital.Then,PA strains with inhibitory effects on CA were screened through cross-line test and co-incubation test,and crude extracts of PA secondary metabolites were prepared,and were tested together with pyocyanin,phenazine-1-carboxylic acid,1-hydroxyphenazine,and 3-ox-ododecyl-l-homoserine lactone(3-oxo-HSL).The inhibitory effects of various PA secondary metabolites on CA were determined through minimum inhibitory concentration test,minimum bactericidal concentration test,time-sterilization curve measurement,and XTT method activity measurement test,and some mechanisms by which PA secondary metabolites inhibited CA were explored.Results The strongest inhibitory effect on CA was 1-hydroxyphenazine,and at a concentration of 6.250 μg/mL,the relative activity of CA decreased to 0.00%.Next were pyocyanin and PA crude extract,and the relative fungal activity of CA decreased to 0.00%at concentrations of 200 and 100 μg/mL.1-hydroxyphenazine,pyocyanin,3-oxo-HSL and PA crude extract all had inhibitory effects on the formation of CA hyphae.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)were generated in CA cells treated with 1-hydroxyphenazine,phenazine 1-carboxylic acid,pyocyanin,and PA crude extract,and the highest levels of ROS were induced by pyocyanin and 1-hydroxyphenazine.Conclusion Phenazine secondary metabolites 1-hydroxyphenazine and pyocyanin have significant inhibitory effects on the growth and activity of CA,and both induce the highest amount of ROS.The quorum-sensing signal molecule 3-oxo-HSL have no in-hibitory effect on CA growth,but have a significant inhibitory effect on the formation of fungal hyphae.

Objective:To investigate the role of YTHDF2 in cervical lesions and its potential molecular mechanism.Methods:Gene expression data of cervical tissue were obtained from the GEO database to analyze the expression of YTHDF2 mRNA and perform pathway enrichment analysis. Patients with cervical lesions diagnosed by thinprep cytologic test in Gynecological Outpatient Department of Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Jiexiu, Shanxi Province, were selected as the research subjects. Data of cervical lesions and cervical exfoliated cells were collected. HPV infection status was detected by flow-through hybridization, and the expression of YTHDF2 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of YTHDF2 in cervical lesions and the mediating role of HPV infection in the relationship between YTHDF2 and squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) were evaluated. YTHDF2-related genes were screened from multiple datasets in the GEO and ENCORI databases, and their expression, immune infiltration, and survival analysis were performed to assess the association between YTHDF2 and prognosis. Results:Compared with normal cervical tissue, YTHDF2 was highly expressed in cervical lesion tissue ( P<0.05). A total of 3 672 differentially expressed genes were screened from the dataset GSE49339. Gene Ontology analysis showed that YTHDF2 was mainly involved in transcription regulation. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that YTHDF2 might be related to HPV infection and other signaling pathways. In the mediation analysis, χ2 test results showed that the expression level of YTHDF2 was significantly different among groups ( χ2=22.47, P<0.001). Trend χ2 test further showed that the expression level of YTHDF2 was upregulated with the degree of cervical precancerous lesions (trend χ2=10.26, P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that high YTHDF2 expression increased the risk of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions ( OR=3.15, 95% CI: 1.93-5.15) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions ( OR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.01-3.39). Mediation effect analysis revealed a partial mediating effect of HPV infection between YTHDF2 and SIL, accounting for 32.02% of the total effect. Twelve YTHDF2 related genes were screened by the intersection of multiple datasets. The immune infiltration analysis results showed that YTHDF2 and related genes KLF4, E2F3 and HOXC6 were associated with immune infiltration (all P<0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that low expression of KLF4 ( HR=0.53, 95% CI: 0.30-0.94) and high expression of RHOB ( HR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.04-3.13) were risk factors for the prognosis of cervical cancer. Conclusion:YTHDF2 is highly expressed in cervical lesions and may have been involved in the regulation of HPV infection-related pathways and its downstream related genes are related to immune infiltration and prognosis of cervical cancer, providing a theoretical basis for the study of mechanisms related to cervical lesions.

Objective To mine temozolomide-related adverse drug event(ADE)signals in the real world and to provide a reference for the safe clinical use of temozolomide.Methods The U.S.Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)was used to collect the ADE reporting data of temozolomide in the FAERS database from January 1,2004 to December 31,2022.The signal mining was performed using the report ratio method and Bayesian confidence interval progressive neural network method to analyze the occurrence of ADE.Results In the database,there were 24 725 ADE reports with temozolomide as the primary suspected drug,and a total of 300 ADE signals were identified,involving 23 system organ categories,and the top 5 were blood and lymphatic system diseases,systemic diseases and various reactions of administration sites,various examinations,various neurological diseases,various injuries,poisoning and procedural complications etc.the most frequently reported ADE signals included thrombocytopenia,low platelet count,neutral granulocytopenia,pancytopenia,convulsive attacks,and febrile neutropenia.42 new suspected adverse reactions were discovered,which were not recorded in the instructions,such as pseudomonas skin infection,herpetic meningoencephalitis,hypoglossal nerve paralysis,porokeratosis,etc.Conclusion The common adverse reactions of temozolomide in the real world are generally consistent with the instructions,but some new suspicious adverse reactions have been discovered.During clinical drug use,special attention should be paid to these new adverse reactions,and it is recommended to monitor patients'adverse reactions and take appropriate measures in a timely manner.

The establishment of an intelligent audit system for hospital medical insurance is crucial for standardizing irrational practices and curbing the unwarranted escalation of medical insurance costs. A tertiary hospital has developed comprehensive prescription review rules in terms of indications, nutritional risk assessments, pain score evaluations, drug sensitivity test results, and target patient populations. When using medical insurance funds for settlement, both systematic and manual reviews are conducted, and three-level intervention measures such as " prompt, review, and interception" are implemented based on prescription issues. After the system was put into use, the hospital′s in-process information system supervision mode shifted from the previous focus on prompts to focus on audits. The medical insurance intelligent audit system provided timely prompts and interventions, and the number of unreasonable medical insurance prescriptions and deductions from medical insurance sampling prescriptions significantly decreased ( P<0.001), while the number of medical insurance medication prescription audits increased ( P<0.001). The application of the intelligent medical insurance medication audit system has improved the efficiency of prescription auditing and ensured the rationality of the use of medical insurance funds.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder with high heterogeneity.The safety of its treatment,particularly adverse reactions,is a crucial area that physicians need to focus on.Currently,the biologic agents and small molecule drugs for treating IBD,such as anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents,anti-integrin agents,interleukin(IL)-12/IL-23-targeting biologic agents,Janus kinase(JAK)inhibitors,and sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)receptor modulators,can induce both acute and chronic adverse reactions.Chronic adverse reactions mainly manifest as opportunistic infections,malignancies in different organs,especially lymphomas,as well as adverse reactions in the cardiovascular and nervous systems.The adverse reactions caused by the above-mentioned drugs exhibit both homogeneity and heterogeneity.Employing artificial intelligence(AI)techniques to summarize the patterns of biologic agents and small molecule drugs in the treatment of IBD and constructing models to predict the adverse reactions in heterogeneous individuals might be an important technological approach to enhance the safety of biologic treatments for IBD.This article reviews the research progress on the adverse reactions of biologic agents and small molecule drugs in the treatment of IBD.
