OBJECTIVE To further standardize the technical operations and management processes throughout therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), clarify the clinical value of TDM implementation, improve the scientific validity and reliability of monitoring results, and provide a solid reference basis for the formulation and optimization of clinical individualized precision dosing regimens. METHODS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring were formulated in accordance with the latest definition of guidelines by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies and the standard guideline development methodology of the World Health Organization, and in compliance with the requirements of the appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluation. A modified Delphi method was adopted to establish the research question system; evidence-based medicine research methods were applied to systematically search multiple databases to screen the latest and most comprehensive evidence. Evidence was graded and evaluated based on the evidence grading system of the Chinese Evidence-Based Medicine Center, and the grading criteria for recommendation strength from the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine were used to determine the recommendation strength. The recommendation opinions were formed through multidisciplinary expert consensus. RESULTS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring cover four core modules, including TDM application indications, technical procedures, result interpretation and clinical application, and quality control, involving 18 primary research questions, 34 secondary research questions, and yield 82 recommendations. CONCLUSIONS The guidelines systematically standardize the key technical links and management requirements of the whole TDM process, provide scientific and operable standardized tools, help improve the standardization level of TDM work, promote the translation of monitoring results into clinical decision-making, and provide strong support for precision personalized medicine and ensuring the safety and rationality of medication use.

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.

Acute fatty liver in pregnancy (Acute fatty liver of pregnancy, AFLP) in pregnancy is a relatively rare critical condition in obstetrics, which is difficult to distinguish in the early stages due to the non-specificity of its clinical manifestations. However, early recognition and timely termination of pregnancy is significant for the treatment of AFLP and is crucial to reduce mortality.This paper will report in detail a patient with AFLP at 37 weeks' gestation, mainly presenting with nausea and vomiting for 1 week and yellow skin for 2 days.Due to the relatively long course of the disease, the patient suffered a regrettable result of fetal death after emergency admission, and severe coagulation dysfunction, pulmonary edema, and pancreatitis occurred.The multidisciplinary team from the department of anesthesiology, ICU, hematology, blood transfusion department and so on, actively corrected coagulation disorders and multiple organ injuries in the emergency termination of pregnancy, and the patient had a good prognosis.The importance of early identification for the treatment of AFLP patients can be demonstrated, and the changes of coagulation function can be closely monitored to guide clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of uric acid(UA)in regulating the larval growth and development of Drosophila melanogaster.Methods A total of 1350 newly hatched first-instar larvae of wild-type Drosophila melanogaster(W11 18)were collected,and the Drosophila melanogaster model of hyperurice-mia was constructed with a high purine diet.The larvae were assigned into three groups(n=150):control(stand-ard corn meal medium),low-dose adenine(corn meal medium containing 0.05%adenine),and high-dose ad-enine(corn meal medium containing 0.10%adenine),and two parallel groups were set up.The growth and de-velopment of larvae in each group was observed,and the UA and hormone levels were measured.In addition,the expression levels of genes involved in growth and development were determined.Results Compared with the con-trol group,the low-and high-dose adenine groups showed elevated UA levels(both P<0.001)and prolonged de-velopmental period(P=0.024,P<0.001).The high-dose adenine group showed decreased survival rate,pupa-tion rate,and eclosion rate and elevated levels of juvenile hormone(JH)and 20-hydroxyecdysone(20E)(all P<0.001).The PCR results showed that compared with the control group,high-dose adenine upregulated the mRNA levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),forkhead box O(FOXO),and mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)while downregulating the mRNA levels of Sestrin,mTOR complex 1(mTORC1),and AMP-activated protein kinase(all P<0.001).Conclusion High concentrations of UA may promote the expression of ROS/FOXO/mTORC1/mTOR signaling pathway by regulating the levels of JH and 20E,thereby inhibiting the larval growth and development of Drosophila melanogaster.
