Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and interventions associated with drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room.Methods:Bases on the adverse drug reaction database from the emergency medicine center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, clinical data of patients who experienced drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room between November 2019 and November 2023 were collected, including gender, age, history of previous adverse drug reactions, allergy history, Charlson comorbidity index, medication details, information related to drug-induced anaphylaxis (onset time, clinical manifestations), interventions, outcomes, and follow-up. The clinical characteristics and interventions in these patients were analyzed.Results:During the study period, a total of 398 772 patients in the emergency infusion room in our hospital received intravenous infusion of drugs. Of them, 625 cases developed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and 75 cases developed drug-induced anaphylaxis, accounting for 0.02% (75/398 772) of the total infusion patients and 12.0% (75/625) of all ADR cases. Of the 75 patients with anaphylaxis, 30 cases (40%) were classified as grade Ⅱ, and 45 cases (60%) as grade Ⅲ, with no grade Ⅳ cases. The most common drugs involved in 75 cases of anaphylaxis were anti-infective drugs (41 cases, 54.7%). Drug-induced anaphylaxis exhibited diverse clinical manifestations, with cardiovascular symptoms being the most common, primarily varying degrees of transient hypotension (67 cases, 89.3%), followed by systemic and neurological symptoms, including profuse sweating (31 cases, 41.3%) and dizziness (28 cases, 37.3%). All 75 patients with anaphylaxis were treated with measures such as discontinuation of medication, replacement of infusion sets, rapid assessment of circulation and respiration, and monitoring of vital signs, of which 65 (86.7%) received rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, 6 (8.0%) received intravenous injection of glucocorticoids, 3 (4.0%) received intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg epinephrine, and 2 (2.7%) received antihistamines. All 75 patients showed improvement in symptoms, and no sequelae or deaths were found.Conclusions:In the emergency infusion room, the severity of anaphylaxis is mainly grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ with a good prognosis after timely intervention. The treatment measures mainly focus on rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, and the use of epinephrine is relatively low.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of adverse reactions induced by levofloxacin in the emergency infusion unit.Methods:The study was designed as a single center prospective cohort study. Data of adverse drug reaction (ADR) in the Infusion Unit of Emergency Medicine Center of First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University was managed, recorded and collected according to the pre-formulated "emergency infusion unit drug adverse reaction management process" and "strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE)". The incidence, severity, clinical characteristics, intervention measures, outcomes, and follow-up of adverse reactions induced by levofloxacin from November 2019 to October 2022 was summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 426 cases of ADR occurred within the set time period, of which 62 (14.55%) were related to levofloxacin, involving 27 males (43.55%) and 35 females (56.45%) with a median age of 39 years. Among the 62 levofloxacin-related ADRs, 96.77% (60/62) occurred within 2 hours of intravenous infusion of levofloxacin; the severity of 44 (70.97%), 10 (16.13%) and 8 (12.90%) cases of ADRs was classified as grade 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and no grade 4 ADRs occurred. The most common clinical symptoms were skin and mucosa reactions, including rash and itching, followed by cardiovascular system and nervous system manifestations, including hypotension, palpitation, and dizziness. The skin and mucosa manifestations were more common in patients with severity grade 1 ADRs, while the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory nervous system and systemic manifestations were more common in those with severity grade 2 and 3 ADRs; the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). After the occurrence of ADRs, levofloxacin was withdrawn in all the 62 patients, the infusion set was replaced, and infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride injection were used to flush the tube. Additionally, 24 patients (38.71%) were given drug intervention, including epinephrine in 2 patients. After the above intervention, the symptoms of all patients were relieved, with a median response time of 49 minutes. Conclusions:Levofloxacin was one of the common drugs causing ADR in the emergency infusion unit. The clinical manifestations were mainly rashes and itching, most of which were mild in severity. Timely discontinuation of levofloxacin and drug interventions often help get a good prognosis. However, the treatment procedure of severe ADRs remain to be standardized.

Objective:To explore the effects of different ankle pump exercises on femoral vein hemodynamics and lower limb fatigue in healthy adults.Methods:From January to June 2021, 30 healthy adults who met the enrollment conditions in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University were selected by convenient sampling as the research subject. Using a prospective self-contrast method, the effects of resting state, ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion on femoral vein blood flow in lower limbs were investigated by Doppler ultrasound. Then the subjects received two kinds of ankle exercises, the traditional method was dorsiflexion 10 s relaxation 5 s, plantar flexion 10 s relaxation 5 s; the modified method was dorsiflexion 1 s relaxation 1 s, plantar flexion 1 s relaxation 1 s. The hemodynamics of subjects were measured immediately after 5 min of exercise, 5 min of rest after exercise and 10 min of rest after exercise. And the subjective sensory fatigue scores of the subjects for different exercise modes were evaluated when the exercise lasts for 1, 3 and 5 minutes.Results:Compared with the rest state, the peak velocity, average flow velocity and blood flow of femoral vein in ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Compared with plantar flexion, the peak velocity, average flow velocity and blood flow of femoral vein during ankle dorsiflexion were statistically increased ( P<0.05) . There was no statistical difference in peak velocity and average velocity of femoral vein blood flow between the two ankle pump exercises at different time points ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference in the scores of subjective sensory fatigue after 1 and 3 min of two kinds of exercise ( P>0.05) , but the scores of subjective sensory fatigue after 5 min of traditional exercise were higher than those of modified exercise with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The effect time of ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion on femoral vein blood flow velocity in healthy adults is 1 to 2 seconds. The rhythms of dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of ankle pump exercise in unit time are suggested to be 1 s, which is simpler and easier than the traditional exercise. We should instruct the patient to increase the number of ankle pump exercises every day for 5 minutes or within the patient's tolerance.

Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes capable of oxygenic photosynthesis, which have potential to serve as "autotrophic cell factories". However, the synthesis of biofuels and chemicals using cyanobacteria as chassis are suffered from poor stress tolerance and low yield, resulting in low economic feasibility for industrial production. Thus, it's urgent to construct new cyanobacterial chassis by means of synthetic biology. In recent years, adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) has made great achievements in chassis engineering, including optimizing growth rate, increasing tolerance, enhancing substrate utilization and increasing product yield. ALE has also made some progress in improving the tolerance of cyanobacteria to high light intensity, heavy metal ions, high concentrations of salt and organic solvents. However, the engineering efficiency of ALE strategy in cyanobacteria is generally low, and the molecular mechanisms underpinning the tolerance to various stresses have not been fully elucidated. To this end, this review summarizes the ALE-associated technical strategies and their applications in cyanobacteria chassis engineering, following by discussing how to construct larger ALE mutation library, increase mutation frequency of strains and shorten evolution time. Moreover, exploration of the construction principles and strategies for constructing multi-stress tolerant cyanobacteria, and efficient analysis the mutant libraries of evolved strains as well as construction of strains with high yield and strong robustness are discussed, with the aim to facilitate the engineering of cyanobacteria chassis and the application of engineered cyanobacteria in the future.

Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy of the digestive system with high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. With the development of modern medicine and radiotherapy technology, combined with surgery, chemotherapy, and biliary stent, etc., radiotherapy plays a more and more important role in the treatment of resectable and unresectable patients. At present, a large number of studies have shown that external beam radiotherapy, intraluminal brachytherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy and other kinds of radiotherapy techniques have good safety and efficacy, but its clinical application is still controversial.

Objective:To investigate the microsurgical anatomy of thoracodorsal artery perforators, and the clinical effect in repairing the soft tissue defect of hand with the thoracodorsal artery perforator flap (TAP).Methods:From October, 2014 to November, 2014, the axillary arteries in 10 thoracodorsal specimens were perfused with red latex. The number and diameter of the perforators of the thoracodorsal arteries were mearsured. From January, 2015 to February, 2019, 52 cases of soft tissue defects in hand combined with bone and extensor tendon exposure were repaired with TAP. The patients were followed-up in outpatient department to observe the clinical efficacy.Results:The number of perforators of thoracodorsal artery was 2-4 mostly, and 3 perforators was the most. The diameter of perforators was 0.22-0.68 mm, and the distance between the perforating point and the posterior axillary wall was 5.2-11.8 cm. All the operations were completed successfully, and the donor sites were closed directly. In 52 cases, 48 flaps survived, 2 had partially necrosis, and 2 had completely necrosis. The patients were followed-up for 5 to 24 months. The blood supply of the flaps was good with soft texture and good appearance.Conclusion:The TAP is an ideal flap because of its thin in thickness, concealed donor area and no obvious scar after direct suture.

Development of "liquid sunshine" could be a key technology to deal with the issue of fossil fuel depletion. β-caryophyllene is a terpene compound with high energy density and has attracted attention for its potential application as a jet fuel. The high temperature and high light-tolerant photosynthetic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 (hereafter Synechococcus 2973), whose doubling time is as short as 1.5 h, has great potential for synthesizing β-caryophyllene using sunlight and CO₂. In this study, a production of ~121.22 μg/L β-caryophyllene was achieved at 96 h via a combined strategy of pathway construction, key enzyme optimization and precursor supply enhancement. In addition, a final production of ~212.37 μg/L at 96 h was realized in a high-density cultivation. To our knowledge, this is the highest production reported for β-caryophyllene using cyanobacterial chassis and our study provide important basis for high-density fuel synthesis in cyanobacteria.
