Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is an effective treatment method for various end-stage diseases. However, due to the need for long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection reactions after the surgery, SOT recipients are generally in a state of low immune function, resulting in a significant increase in the risk of infection. Post-transplant infection, especially infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria, is one of the common complications for SOT recipients and is also a major cause of graft dysfunction, graft loss and even death of the recipients. As the global situation of bacterial resistance becomes increasingly severe, the burden of infectious diseases continues to increase, seriously threatening the survival prognosis and graft function of SOT recipients. The exploration of new antibiotic research and rational application strategies worldwide has become crucial. The development and launch of various new antibiotics have provided more options for clinical practice. Therefore, systematically reviewing the drug characteristics of new antibiotics and their application status in this special population of SOT recipients is of great significance for guiding clinical practice and improving patients’ prognosis.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C₀), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug‍-‍drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with non-acute asthma exacerbations, to assess their cardiopulmonary health and to provide a basis for improvement.Methods:A case-control study.Sixty-one children with non-acute asthma exacerbations treated at the Outpatient Department of Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from October 2022 to December 2023 and 22 control children during the same period were included.Binary Logistic regression was employed to assess risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with asthma.Results:Among the included 61 children with non-acute asthma exacerbations, there were 33 cases in the chronic persistent phase (chronic persistent phase group) and 28 in the clinical remission phase(clinical remission group).There were 22 children in the control group.During the peak exercise phase of the cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the mean kilogram body weight oxygen uptake (VO 2/kg), the percentage of predicted kilogram body weight oxygen uptake, and metabolic equivalents (Met) in the chronic persistent phase group were lower than those in the control and clinical remission phase groups.The mean VO 2/kg recovery from the cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the first minute in the chronic persistent phase group was lower than that in the control and clinical remission phase groups.The median Met and ventilation per minute recovery in the chronic persistent phase group were lower than those in the control group.The median heart rate recovery in asthma children was lower than that in control children.The percentage of cardiopulmonary exercise testing abnormalities was higher in asthma children with symptoms after excise than that in asthma children without symptoms after excise.The percentage of decreased ventilation efficiency in asthma children with symptoms after excise was higher than that in asthma children without symptoms after excise.Multivariate regression analysis showed that a higher body mass index (BMI) ( OR=1.577, 95% CI: 1.113-2.235, P=0.010) and a higher peak respiratory reserve ( OR=1.103, 95% CI: 1.018-1.195, P=0.017) were risk factors of decreased aerobic capacity.The risk of decreased aerobic capacity in the chronic persistent phase was 7.949 times higher than that in the clinical remission phase ( OR=7.949, 95% CI: 1.290-48.996, P=0.025). Conclusions:The aerobic capacity is decreased and ventilatory recovery is slower in children with chronic persistent asthma than those in healthy children.The heart rate recovery in asthma children is slower than that in healthy children.A high BMI, a high peak respiratory reserve, and chronic persistence of asthma are independent risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with non-acute asthma exacerbations.asthma.

miR-135 is a highly conserved miRNA in mammals and includes miR-135a and miR-135b.Recent studies have shown that miR-135b is a key regulatory factor in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.It is involved in regulating the pathological process of myocardial infarction,myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury,cardiac hypertrophy,atrial fibrillation,diabetic cardiomyopathy,atherosclerosis,pulmonary hyperten-sion,cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury,Parkinson's disease,and Alzheimer's disease.Obviously,miR-135b is an emerging player in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and is expected to be an important target for the treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.However,the crucial role of miR-135b in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and its underlying mechanism of action has not been reviewed.Therefore,in this review,we aimed to comprehensively summarize the role of miR-135b and the signaling pathway mediated by miR-135b in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.Drugs targeting miR-135b for the treatment of diseases and related patents,highlighting the importance of this target and its utility as a therapeutic target for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases,have been discussed.

γ-aminobutyric acid can be produced by a one-step enzymatic reaction catalyzed by glutamic acid decarboxylase. The reaction system is simple and environmentally friendly. However, the majority of GAD enzymes catalyze the reaction under acidic pH at a relatively narrow range. Thus, inorganic salts are usually needed to maintain the optimal catalytic environment, which adds additional components to the reaction system. In addition, the pH of solution will gradually rise along with the production of γ-aminobutyric acid, which is not conducive for GAD to function continuously. In this study, we cloned the glutamate decarboxylase LpGAD from a Lactobacillus plantarum capable of efficiently producing γ-aminobutyric acid, and rationally engineered the catalytic pH range of LpGAD based on surface charge. A triple point mutant LpGAD^{S24R/D88R/Y309K} was obtained from different combinations of 9 point mutations. The enzyme activity at pH 6.0 was 1.68 times of that of the wild type, suggesting the catalytic pH range of the mutant was widened, and the possible mechanism underpinning this increase was discussed through kinetic simulation. Furthermore, we overexpressed the Lpgad and Lpgad^{S24R/D88R/Y309K} genes in Corynebacterium glutamicum E01 and optimized the transformation conditions. An optimized whole cell transformation process was conducted under 40 ℃, cell mass (OD₆₀₀) 20, 100 g/L l-glutamic acid substrate and 100 μmol/L pyridoxal 5-phosphate. The γ-aminobutyric acid titer of the recombinant strain reached 402.8 g/L in a fed-batch reaction carried out in a 5 L fermenter without adjusting pH, which was 1.63 times higher than that of the control. This study expanded the catalytic pH range of and increased the enzyme activity of LpGAD. The improved production efficiency of γ-aminobutyric acid may facilitate its large-scale production.
