Objective To design and fabricate an integrated optoelectrical fiber to enable the simultaneous transmission of high-power laser and electrical current, thereby developing a novel tool for urological surgery.Methods A miniature metal sleeve was installed at the front end of a medical high-energy optical fiber, and corresponding conductive circuits were configured. The fiber was connected to a fiber thulium laser and a bipolar plasma generator simultaneously. Experiments of simulated vaporization were conducted on ex vivo porcine kidney tissues using thulium laser (50 W), plasma (100 W), and thulium laser + plasma (50 W+100 W), respectively. Tissue removal efficiency was calculated using the weighing method:tissue clearance rate (g/min)=[mass before vaporization (g) - mass after vaporization (g)]/vaporization time (min). Lateral tissue thermal damage was assessed with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. One-way analysis of variance and least significant difference test were used for statistical analysis.Results The integrated optoelectrical fiber was successfully constructed, which could simultaneously and continuously transmit thulium laser and plasma electrocision current. The tissue clearance rate of the thulium laser+plasma group was significantly higher than that of the thulium laser group and plasma group [(0.49±0.13) g/min vs. (0.14±0.02) g/min vs. (0.11±0.04) g/min, P<0.001]. The average lateral thermal damage depth of the thulium laser + plasma group showed no statistically significant difference compared to the thulium laser group [(985.5±178.5) μm vs.(957.5±197.4) μm, P>0.05], but both were significantly higher than that of the simple plasma group [(499.6±78.0) μm] (P<0.001). Conclusion The thulium laser + plasma energy transmitted simultaneously by the integrated optoelectrical fiber can vaporize kidney tissue more efficiently without additional thermal damage.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the requirements for infusion sets specified in the package inserts of monoclonal antibody drugs commonly used for intravenous infusion in China, and to provide a reference for the rational selection of infusion sets for this class of drugs in clinical practice. METHODS The “Drug Query” section of the official website of the National Medical Products Administration, including the “Domestically Manufactured Drugs” and “Overseas Manufactured Drugs” databases, as well as the DXY “Yongyao Zhushou” database, were searched to collect the package inserts of monoclonal antibody drugs available on the domestic market as of November 2025 that had requirements for intravenous infusion sets. Relevant requirements for infusion set materials, filter pore size, and filter materials were extracted, classified, and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 55 monoclonal antibody drugs for intravenous infusion were included, comprising 45 anticancer drugs (81.82%), 5 immunomodulatory drugs (9.09%), and 5 drugs for other diseases (9.09%). The package inserts of 44 drugs (80.00%) had clear requirements for the filter pore size of infusion sets, of which 36 drugs (65.45%) required a pore size of 0.2 μm or 0.22 μm. The package inserts of 16 drugs (29.09%) specified the filter material, all of which recommended polyethersulfone. The package inserts of 25 drugs (45.45%) specified the infusion set material, primarily polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or polypropylene. CONCLUSIONS The requirements for infusion sets vary among different monoclonal antibody drugs, with differences mainly concentrated in two aspects: material compatibility and filter pore size. In clinical practice, the selection should be based on the drug package inserts, following the principles of “compatibility first, appropriate filtration, and system integration”, and standardized management should be achieved through the development of quick-reference manuals specifically addressing the requirements for infusion sets and the integration of relevant requirements into the prescription review and dispensing systems.

The chest wall is one of the most common sites of local recurrence after mastectomy. Radiation therapy has been proven to significantly reduce local recurrence and improve survival in breast cancer patients. In postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT), the dose build-up effects of high-energy radiation result in lower doses on the skin surface of the affected chest wall. To increase the skin dose, tissue compensators (boluses) need to be applied to the skin surface of the affected chest wall. This review primarily summarizes the indications, materials, thickness, and frequency of boluses used in PMRT, serving as a reference for clinical practice.

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.
