The incidence of augmented renal clearance (ARC) in intensive care patients (ICU) is exceptionally high, and these patients are often co-morbid with infection. The occurrence of ARC will significantly increase the clearance rate of antibiotics, making it difficult for conventional doses to reach effective therapeutic concentrations and affect the patient's anti-infective treatment effect and prognosis. It can be seen that it is crucial to formulate a reasonable dosing regimen for ICU patients with ARC. Regrettably, few reports in China about the adjustment strategy of antibiotic dosing regimens for ARC patients. Therefore, this article reviews the domestic and foreign literature for reference to provide evidence for medical personnel to adjust the dose of antibacterial drugs for such patients.

【Objective】 To study the demographic characteristics of whole blood donors aged 56 to 60 in Guangzhou, so as to provide reference for smooth implementation of the recruitment and management of elderly blood donors in Guangzhou. 【Methods】 The data of whole blood donors, aged 56 to 60, in Guangzhou Blood Center from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and such characteristics as the number of blood donations, gender, donation frequency, donation volume, occupation and educational background were analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 3 996 blood donors aged 56 to 60, including 3 013 males and 983 females, gave 14 416 donations during July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2021, with the proportion of 400 mL specification at 64.1% (6 999/10 918) of males, which was significantly higher than that of females 57.7% (2 017/3 498). The number of blood donors had been decreasing year by year, but the ratio of men to women was stable.The education background of blood donors were mainly high school, junior college, and undergraduate education, accounting for more than 60% in total, and the proportion of undergraduate and graduate degree trended to grow. Staff, workers, medical staff and civil servants were the majorities, and the proportion of medical staff trended to grow. 【Conclusion】 Male blood donors aged 56 to 60 in Guangzhou showed stronger intention to donate blood, and the proportion of blood donors with better education and medical staff was on the rise.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of combined use of Guben-Tiaoping Decoction on the success rate of stepwise treatment and life quality of asthma patients. Methods:A total of 76 patients with asthma in remission stage who were using ICS were divided into treatment group (38 cases) and control group(38 cases) according to random number table. Both groups were treated with ICS reduction based on the 2017 Gina Protocol. The treatment group was treated with Guben-Tiaoping Decoction for 12 weeks. The number of patients who were able to successfully complete the stepwise treatment after the end of the trial was calculated, the relevant indexes of Asthma Control Test (ACT), TCM Syndrome score, St. George’s respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) and lung function were collected before and after treatment. Result:After 12 weeks’ treatment, the success rate of stepwise was 89.5% (34/38) in the treatment group and 78.9% (30/38) in the control group ( χ2=14.862, P=0.001). Meanwhile, the ACT score of the treatment group were better than those in the control group (Daytime symptoms t=-3.860, P=0.001, Dyspnea t=-2.007, P=0.40, Night waking t=-2.732, P=0.009, Reliever needed for symptoms t=-2.262, P=0.031, Control situation t=-6.994, P=0.001, Total Score t=-9.562, P=0.001). The score of TCM Syndrome in the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P=0.001); PEF in treatment group [(6.92 ± 1.71) L vs. (5.84 ± 1.22) L; t=-2.880, P=0.005] was significantly better than that of the control group. Conclusion:Guben-Tiaoping Decoction is helpful to improve the success rate of ICS stepwise treatment and the life quality of patients.

【Objective】 To investigate the changes of platelet, white blood cell, red blood cell counts, Hb and PCV before and after plateletpheresis donation. 【Methods】 10 444 platelet donors who donated platelet from Aug 1, 2019 to Jul 31, 2020 were selected as subjects, among which first-time donors were selected as control group and donors who donated twice or more as donation group. After matching gender and age using Propensity Score Matching method in the two groups, the changes of platelet, white blood cell, red blood cell counts, Hb and PCV of platelet blood donors were compared by t test. 【Results】 There were a slight increase in Plt (t=-6.651, P<0.05), a decrease in WBC (t=2.312, P<0.05), a decrease in hemoglobin(t=4.643, P<0.05), and no change in RBC (t=1.439, P>0.05) and in PCV (t=0.030, P>0.05) after plateletpheresis donation. 【Conclusion】 Plateletpheresis donation has an effect on some peripheral blood parameters, but within the normal reference range.

Objective:To study the survival outcomes in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with sorafenib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) versus sorafenib alone.Methods:The data of 92 patients with BCLC stage C HCC at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute& Hospital from January 2008 to December 2015 were retrospectively studied. There were 82 males and 10 females. The average age was 56.3 years. Classified according to whether there were vascular invasion and/or distant metastasis, patients were divided into the vascular invasion group ( n=24), the metastasis group ( n=48), and the vascular invasion combined with metastasis group ( n=20). All patients were treated with sorafenib, but some patients received combined treatment with TACE. The survival data of these patients on follow-up was collected. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and the survival rates were compared by the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to determine the prognostic factors of patients’ survival. Results:There were no significant differences in the baseline clinical data among the three groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that pre-treatment alpha fetal protein >20 μg/L ( HR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.13-3.12), alkaline phosphatase >125 U/L ( HR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.03-2.49) and sorafenib alone ( HR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.23-3.54) were independent risk factors of survival for these patients. There were no significant differences in the cumulative survival rates among the three groups ( P>0.05). In the vascular invasion group, the cumulative survival rates of patients treated with combined sorafenib and TACE ( n=4) were significantly higher than those treated with sorafenib alone ( n=20) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with sorafenib alone, sorafenib combined with TACE resulted in better prognosis for patients with BCLC stage C HCC. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with vascular invasion had significantly better survival treated with combined sorafenib and TACE than sorafenib alone.

To meet the requirement of pathological practice and development, we systematically analyzed the situation of pathological residents training and the importance of initiating the clinical scientific research training. Additionally, we proposed the principle and implementation strategy for clinical scientific research training. According to features of pathological practice, we employed the modularized teaching to divide the training courses into several modules: discussion module for clinical pathology, lecture module for advanced research, and training modules for basic scientific theory, technology and writing skill. With these approaches, the systematic and structured system of standardized residents training is implemented to improve the clinical research ability of pathological residents.

OBJECTIVE: To comprehend the status of knowledge-attitude-practice( KAP) and its effect on blood lead in workers exposed to lead.METHODS: Three hundred and fifty-one first-line lead exposed workers in the smelting industry were chosen as study subjects by cluster sampling method.Blood lead levels in peripheral venous blood were detected.Questionnaire survey was conducted by self-compiled Questionnaire of Knowledge-attitude-practice on Occupational Health in Lead Workers.RESULTS: Among the study subjects,145 workers had abnormal blood lead level( ≥600 μg/L),the abnormal rate was 41.3%.The correct scoring rate in occupational knowledge,attitude,and practice were 25.1%,45.3% and 15.7%,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that the four risk factors of high blood lead level were wearing no personal protective equipment,not bathing and changing clothes before returning home,not gargling and washing hands before meals,smoking and eating in workplace.CONCLUSION: Poor occupational behaviors can increase the risk of high blood lead level in lead exposed workers.

Objective To investigate the effects of transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) 7 on dexamethasone (Dex)-mediated cytoskeleton remodeling in human trabecular meshwork.Methods Human trabecular meshwork cells (HTMs) were primarily cultured and the cells of generation 3 to 6 were used in this study.The expression of TRPM7 protein in the cells was located using immunofluorescence technology.Dex at the dose of 0.2 mg was added into culture medium for 4 days with the final concentration of 1×10-5,1×10-6 and 1×10-7 mol/L,respectively.Western blot assay was employed to detect the relative expression level of TRPM7 protein.Cultured cells were divided into non-transfected group,siRNA transfected group,TRPM7-siRNA1 transfected group and TRPM7-siRNA2 transfected group,and the expressions of TRPM7 protein and p-cofilin protein in the cells were assayed by Western blot method.Cultured cells were divided into normal control group,Dex-treated group,siRNA transfected group and TRPM7-siRNA transfected group,and the expression of phalloidin (a cytoskeletal protein) and Vinculin (focal adhesion protein) was detected by immunofluorescence staining.In addition,cultured cells were divided into normal control group,Dex-treated group,2-APB (a Ca2+ inhibitor) treated group,ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) (a calcium chelator)-treated group,TRPM7-siRNA transfected group and TRPM7-siRNA+Dex group,and the [Ca2+] i in the cells was observed by Fluo-3AM immunofluorescence staining.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of p-cofilin in the cells.Results TRPM7 was positively expressed on the cell membrane.The relative expression of TRPM7 was gradually reduced with an increase of Dex dose (F=4.210,P＜0.05),and the expression of TRPM7 was significantly decreased in 1 × 10-5 mol/L Dex group compared with the normal control group (P＜ 0.05).Western blot assay revealed that the relative expression levels of TRPM7 in the TRPM7-siRNA1 and TRPM7-siRNA2 group were significantly lower than those of non-siRNA transfected group and siRNA transfected group (all at P＜0.05).In the Dex-treated group and TRPM7-siRNA transfected group,the cells were enlarged in size with the lessened processes in comparison with the normal control group.Immunofluorescence staining showed that the actin fiber and vinculin increased in the Dex-treated group,and more spread but depolymerized actin fiber was seen in the TRPM7-siRNA transfected group.Compared with the normal control group,the fluorescence intensity of [Ca2×] i was weak in the Dex-treated group and TRPM7-siRNA transfected group.The relative expression levels of p-confilin protein was lower in the TRPM7-siRNA transfected group than that in the siRNA transfected group (0.317 ±0.031 vs.0.092±0.071) (t =5.030,P =0.007).Conclusions Dex induces the downregulation of TRPM7 expression in HTMs.The downregulation of TRPM7 probably participates in Dex-induced cytoskeletal remodeling by causing the depolymerization of actin cytoskeleton and reduction of [Ca2+] i in HTMs.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome( MS) and occupational stress among workers in high altitude area. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 940 workers as research subjects who were engaged in petroleum smelting,thermal power generation and financial management et al. in high altitude area. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the Occupational Stress Inventory-Revised for occupational stress, The occupational health examination was performed to measure waist circumference,blood pressure,blood sugar and blood lipids. RESULTS: The abnormal rates in obesity,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein,blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were 28. 3%,16. 3%,14. 3%,13. 3% and 6. 5%, respectively. The detection rate of MS was 5. 0%( 47/940). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of elevated MS decreased with the increased of occupational stress level( P < 0. 05),and the risk of elevated MS increased with the increased of occupational stress reaction severity( P < 0. 05),after adjusting the confounding factors of gender and labor nature. CONCLUSION: The higher occupational stress reaction of the workers in high altitude area,the higher the risk of MS.
