Objective To analyze the current status of knowledge,attitude,and behavior?(KAP)of doctors and pharmacists regarding iodine contrast agent allergic reactions in medical institutions in China and the influencing factors,to provide reference for the treatment of iodine contrast agent allergic patients.Methods A questionnaire survey on iodine contrast agent allergic reactions was conducted among doctors and pharmacists in China using a self-designed questionnaire.The questionnaire was distributed online via WeChat and the participants were anonymous and voluntary.The scores of knowledge,attitude,and behavior of medical staff of different genders,departments,and titles were statistically analyzed.Wilcoxon rank sum test and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors.Results A total of 105 doctors and pharmacists from 19 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities participated in the survey,completing 105 valid questionnaires.The knowledge score(out of 4 points),attitude score(out of 3 points),and behavior score(out of 3 points)of doctors and pharmacists regarding contrast agent allergy reactions were 2(1,2)points,1(0,2)points,and 1(1,2)points,respectively.Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that job title is a factor affecting the knowledge score.Compared to those with primary and below titles,senior title doctors and pharmacists had higher knowledge scores(P=0.007).Educational level is a influence factor affecting the attitude score.Compared to those with undergraduate and below educational levels,doctors and pharmacists with doctoral degrees had more positive attitudes(P=0.011).Attitude score is a influence factor affecting the behavior score,the more positive the attitude,the more positive the behavior(P=0.015).Conclusion The knowledge,attitude,and practice(KAP)of doctors and pharmacists regarding contrast agent allergy reactions need to be strengthened.Training should be conducted for doctors and pharmacists,taking into account the KAP differences among individuals with different job titles and educational levels,to enhance knowledge levels and actively explore safe and effective desensitization treatment methods for patients with contrast agent allergies.The use of iodinated contrast agents should be rationalized while ensuring patient safety.

RNA-based gene therapy has been widely used for various diseases, and extensive studies have proved that suitable delivery routes greatly help the development of RNA therapeutics. Identifying a safe and effective delivery system is key to realizing RNA therapeutics' clinical translation. Inhalation is a non-invasive pulmonary delivery modality that can enhance the retention of therapeutic agents in the lungs with negligible toxicity, thereby improving patient compliance. Inhaled RNA therapeutics are increasingly becoming an area of focus for researchers; however, only several clinical trials have explored inhaled delivery of RNA for pulmonary diseases. This review presents an overview of recent advances in inhaled delivery systems for RNA therapeutics, including viral and nonviral systems, highlighting state of the art regarding inhalation in the messenger RNA (mRNA) field. We also summarize the applications of mRNA inhalants in infectious and other lung diseases. Simultaneously, the research progresses on small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), and different types of RNA are also discussed to provide new strategies for developing RNA inhalation therapy. Finally, we clarify the challenges inhaled RNA-based therapeutics face before their widespread adoption and provide insights to help advance this exciting field to the bedside.

The application of immune checkpoint inhibitors has changed the treatment paradigm for advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).However,interruption of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy due to intolerable adverse effects or due to disease progression has become a problematic issue in the treatment of advanced NSCLC.Whether immune checkpoint inhibitors rechallenge therapy is possible after interruption of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy has been proposed and remains controversial.This article summarizes the types of immune checkpoint inhibitor rechallenge and therapeutic strategies for advanced NSCLC,and finds that patients with NSCLC who have interrupted their immunotherapy due to immune-related adverse events and clinical decision-making can still achieve a better favorable clinical outcomes.It is hypothesized that immune checkpoint inhibitor rechallenge for NSCLC after drug resistance is an alternative salvage therapy.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of combined plasma gluconic acid(GA),fumaric acid(FA),and pseudouridine levels at admission for acute kidney injury(AKI)in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 78 elderly AMI patients transferred from Emergency Department to Coronary Care Unit in Fuwai Hospital during Decem-ber 2021 and July 2022 were enrolled in this prospective study.They were divided into AKI group(40 cases)and non-AKI group(38 cases)according to whether they developed AKI during hospi-talization.Plasma levels of GA,FA and pseudouridine were quantitatively detected with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.ROC curve was plotted to assess the predictive value of these three plasma metabolites for AKI in AMI patients.Multivariate logistic regression analy-sis was applied to analyze the clinical risk factors for AKI.Results There were no statistical differences in the plasma levels of GA,FA and pseudouridine between the AKI group and the non-AKI group(P＞0.05).ROC curve analysis revealed that the plasma levels of the three indicators had no predictive value for the development of AKI in elderly AMI patients(AUC=0.576,95％CI:0.449-0.704,P=0.246;AUC=0.595,95％CI:0.467--0.721,P=0.154;AUC=0.563,95％CI:0.435-0.692,P=0.337).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that left ventricu-lar ejection fraction(LVEF)was an independent predictor for AKI development in elderly AMI patients(OR=0.923,95％CI:0.870-0.978,P=0.007).Conclusion Plasma GA,FA and pseud-ouridine cannot predict the development of AKI in elderly AMI patients,while,LVEF is an inde-pendent predictor for the development.

The extraordinary advantages associated with mRNA vaccines, including their high efficiency, relatively low severity of side effects, and ease of manufacture, have enabled them to be a promising immunotherapy approach against various infectious diseases and cancers. Nevertheless, most mRNA delivery carriers have many disadvantages, such as high toxicity, poor biocompatibility, and low efficiency in vivo, which have hindered the widespread use of mRNA vaccines. To further characterize and solve these problems and develop a new type of safe and efficient mRNA delivery carrier, a negatively charged SA@DOTAP-mRNA nanovaccine was prepared in this study by coating DOTAP-mRNA with the natural anionic polymer sodium alginate (SA). Intriguingly, the transfection efficiency of SA@DOTAP-mRNA was significantly higher than that of DOTAP-mRNA, which was not due to the increase in cellular uptake but was associated with changes in the endocytosis pathway and the strong lysosome escape ability of SA@DOTAP-mRNA. In addition, we found that SA significantly increased the expression of LUC-mRNA in mice and achieved certain spleen targeting. Finally, we confirmed that SA@DOTAP-mRNA had a stronger antigen-presenting ability in E. G7-OVA tumor-bearing mice, dramatically inducing the proliferation of OVA-specific CLTs and ameliorating the antitumor effect. Therefore, we firmly believe that the coating strategy applied to cationic liposome/mRNA complexes is of potential research value in the field of mRNA delivery and has promising clinical application prospects.
