Objective To establish the drug use evaluation(DUE)criteria for aspirin enteric-coated tablets and provide a reference for the rationally clinical application of aspirin enteric-coated tablets.Methods DUE criteria for aspirin enteric-coated tablets were established from three aspects of indications,medications and medication results with reference to drug instructions of aspirin enteric-coated tablets,related guidelines,expert consensus and literature,and through Delphi method.A retrospective analysis was conducted to evaluate the medical records of patients who took aspirin enteric-coated tablets from January 2021 to June 2022 in Fuqing Hospital affiliated to Fujian Medical University.Results A total of 1 071 medical records were included.683 cases fully met the DUE criteria,with a rational rate of 63.77％.Irrational drug use mainly included inappropriate indications(6.26％),off-label drug use without approval(28.48％),contraindications(1.03％),inappropriate usage and dosage(1.68％),drug interactions with potential clinical significance(0.65％)and other inappropriate drug use(2.71％).Conclusion The established DUE standard for aspirin enteric-coated tablets has strong scientific practicability and feasibility.The irrational rate of aspirin enteric-coated tablets in this hospital is high.Corresponding intervention measures should be formulated to ensure the safety of clinical medication.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the levels of serum P-glycoprotein（P-gp）and claudin-5 with epilepsy and cognitive impairment in children.Methods:A total of 120 children with epilepsy admitted to Xingtai People's Hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively selected as the epilepsy group，and divided into the general tonic-clonic seizure group（ n=44）and the focal seizure group（ n=76）according to the type of epilepsy，and also divided into the cognitive normal group（ n=88）and the cognitive impairment group（ n=32）according to the cognitive function of the children. Another 100 healthy children in the hospital were selected as the control group. Serum P-gp and claudin-5 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between serum P-gp，claudin-5 levels and epilepsy condition in children. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of serum P-gp and claudin-5 for cognitive impairment in children with epilepsy. Results:The serum P-gp level in the epilepsy group was higher than that in the control group[(3.11±0.34) ng/L vs. (1.33±0.17) ng/L]，and the serum claudin-5 level was lower than that in the control group[(0.66±0.12) ng/mL vs. (1.66±0.28) ng/mL] , and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The serum P-gp level in the generalized tonic-clonic seizure group was higher than that in the focal seizure group [(5.62±1.02) ng/mL vs. (2.55±0.28) ng/mL]，and the serum claudin-5 level was lower than that in the focal seizure group[(0.40±0.05) ng/mL vs. (1.10±0. 25) ng/mL] , and the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum P-gp was positively correlated with negatively correlated with national hospital seizure severity scale(NHS3) score in pediatric epilepsy（ r=0.447， P<0.05），and serum claudin-5 was NHS3 score in pediatric epilepsy（ r=-0.485， P<0.05）. The serum P-gp level in the cognitive impairment group was higher than that in the cognitive normal group [(5.87±1.05) ng/L vs. (2.44±0.26) ng/L]，and the serum claudin-5 level was lower than that in the cognitive normal group [(0.32±0.03) ng/mL vs. (0.86±0.08) ng/mL], and the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve（AUC）of serum P-gp for evaluating cognitive impairment in children with epilepsy was 0.831（95% CI 0.781-0.881），the AUC of serum claudin-5 for evaluating cognitive impairment was 0.854（95% CI 0.804-0.904），and the AUC of the combination was 0.905（95% CI 0.855-0.955）. Conclusion:Serum P-gp level is increased and claudin-5 level is decreased in children with epilepsy，and both levels are closely associated with the disease condition and cognitive impairment，with the combination of the two indexes more effective than either indicator in diagnosing cognitive impairment in pediatric epilepsy.

Objective To explore the value of automatic segmentation technique combined with neurite dispersion and density imaging(NODDI)for displaying volume and microstructure changes of hippocampal subregion in patients with hippocampal sclerosis medial temporal lobe epilepsy(mTLE-HS).Methods MRI data of 33 patients with left mTLE-HS(mTLE-HS group)and 35 healthy adults(control group)were retrospectively analyzed.The hippocampal subregions were automatically segmented using FreeSurfer software,the volume of cornu Ammonis(CA)1,CA2-3,CA4,granulose cell-dentate gyrus(GC-DG)and subiculum were measured,then the NODDI parameters of each subregion were obtained through post-processing.The intra-and inter-groups hippocampal subregion volumes and NODDI parameters were compared,and the correlations of parameters being significantly different with the onset age and disease courses were analyzed.Results The volume of hippocampal subregions in mTLE-HS group were all lower than those in control group(all P＜0.05).In mTLE-HS group,the neurite density index(NDI)of left CA1 and CA4 subregions were both lower,while the free-water isotropic volume fraction(fiso)of the left CA1 subregion was higher than those of the right side(all P＜0.05).The orientation dispersion index(ODI)of left CA1,CA2-3 and CA4 subregions,as well as NDI of left CA1,CA4 and GC-DG subregions in mTLE-HS group were all lower than those in control group(all P＜0.05),while fiso of left CA1,GC-DG and subiculum subregions in mTLE-HS group were all higher than those in control group(all P＜0.05).The volume of left hippocampal subregions in patients with mTLE-HS were all moderately positively correlated with the onset age(r=0.540-0.667,all P＜0.001)but weakly negatively correlated with disease courses(r=-0.492--0.386,all P＜0.05).NDI of left CA4 and GC-DG subregions in patients with mTLE-HS were both weakly negatively correlated with disease courses(r=-0.418,-0.388,both P＜0.05).Conclusion Automatic segmentation technique combined with NODDI could be used to display the volume and microstructure changes of mTLE-HS.NDI might be a biomarker of mTLE-HS being sensitive to progressive neuronal damage.

Purpose To investigate the changes of cerebral cortex thickness in adult temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)assessed by Freesurfer automatic segmentation technique.Materials and Methods Eighty-four TLE confirmed by clinical manifestations and electroencephalography from January 2021 to September 2023 in General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were retrospectively collected,including 32 patients with MRI nonlesional TLE,30 patients with left hippocampal sclerosis,and 22 patients with right hippocampal sclerosis.Fifty volunteers were recruited as the control group.All the ascending axial T1WI three-dimensional magnetization pre-gradient echo scans were performed.Freesurfer software was used to segment the cerebral cortex of T1W images,the cortical thickness values of different types of TLE patients were analyzed and compared.Results Compared with the control group,the cortical thickness of 14 regions in MRI-negative TLE group decreased,mainly located in bilateral frontal lobe and right parietal lobe,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);cortical thickness decreased in 34 regions in the left hippocampal sclerosis group,mainly located in the bilateral frontal,temporal and parietal lobes,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);the cortical thickness of 27 regions in the right hippocampal sclerosis group decreased,mainly located in the bilateral frontal,parietal lobe and right temporal lobe,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The automatic segmentation technique can evaluate the thickness changes of different cortical regions in the brain of patients with different types of TLE,which is helpful to further understand the development of TLE and provide value for better treatment or preoperative evaluation.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL)is one of small B-cell lymphomas and leukemias,characterized as a clonal disease of mature B cells.The disease is remarkably heterogeneous,with the majority of patients having an indolent course,yet they are currently incurable.Abnormal signaling pathways are indispensable in the pathogenesis of CLL.In CLL,the common abnormalities of signaling pathways include B-cell receptor(BCR)signaling,apoptosis,nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)signaling and Notch signaling.According to the target in signaling pathways,a series of targeted drugs,such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase(BTK)inhibitors(ibrutinib,zanubrutinib),phosphorylate phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)inhibitor(duvelisib)and B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2(BCL2)inhibitor(venetoclax),which have significantly changed the prognosis of patients in clinic.Other targeted drugs,such as fenebrutinib,nemtabrutinib and umbralisib,as well as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T)therapy developed in the field of immuno-oncology and T cell engineering,are currently under trial,with more personalized treatment modalities being explored,which may become potential drug targets in the future.In this paper,relevant literature of CLL was reviewed,and recent research progress in molecular pathogenesis and targeted therapies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia was reviewed.

Objective:To establish an environmental management strategy for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia from the perspective of etiological characteristics and to verify its application effect.Methods:Based on a sampling survey, this study constructed preventive management strategies for ventilator-associated pneumonia by blocking pathogen characteristics from the perspective of both colonization and infection management in patients. From July 2021 to June 2023, a non-synchronous randomized controlled study was conducted, including a control group of 59 cases and an experimental group of 57 cases from ICU of Tianjin Teda Hospital, all of them were mechanically ventilated patients. The effectiveness of the strategy was confirmed.Results:In the control group, there were 35 males and 24 females, with an average age of (46.97 ± 18.84) years. In the experimental group, there were 39 males and 18 females, with an average age of (47.49 ± 13.85) years. During the study period, there were 9 cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the control group and 2 cases in the experimental group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (exact odds ratio=0.031). The duration of mechanical ventilation in the experimental group (122.41 ± 18.36) h, which was shorter than that in the control group (187.62 ± 18.05) h, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=19.28, P<0.05). The length of ICU stay in the experimental group was (8.38 ± 0.79) d, in the control group was (10.99 ± 1.10) d, the difference between them was statistically significant ( t=14.66, P<0.05). On the 7th day, there were 7 cases of positive pathogenic bacteria in sputum culture in the experimental group, which was significantly different from the 29 cases in the control group ( χ2=16.73, P<0.05). Conclusions:The vector management strategy for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia by blocking etiological characteristics can reduce the incidence of VAP, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay, and reduce the pathogen load in the sputum of mechanically ventilated patients on the 7th day.

Objective:To establish the animal model of cervicofacial venous malformations(VMs)by surgical reconstruction of exter-nal jugular vein in sheep.Methods:The external jugular veins of 5 sheep were dissected,and the position,course,branch and exter-nal diameter were observed and measured.The models of VMs with draining and returning veins were constructed by suturing or constric-ting the proximal part of main trunk and ligating or constricting the distal part of the jugular or branch veins.The animal model was eval-uated by Doppler ultrasound,gross observation and histological observation at the 4th week after surgery.Results:The external jugular veins of sheep is in the lateral side of bilateral neck,and the main trunk is formed by the maxillary vein and lingual facial vein.The ex-ternal diameter ranges from 6 to 12 mm,with an average external diameter of 9.3 mm.Immediately after the external jugular vein was sutured and narrowed at the proximal part of the main vein,the distal part of the vein branch was ligated or narrowed,the blood flow speed slowed down and the veins in the model area bulged.4 weeks after surgery,gross observation showed that most veins narrowed and thrombosis was formed in part of the venous lumen.The central region of some specimens was dilated,and the peripheral collateral veins were dilated in some models.Doppler ultrasonography showed that the lumens of most veins were dilated and the returning veins and the inflow veins were narrowed.Colored blood flow was seen in the lumen.Histological observation showed that the structure of vein endothelium and wall was close to the normal vein,and the vein vessel wall of some specimens was thickened.Conclusion:The VMs model estab-lished by external jugular vein of sheep basically meets the re-quirements and is expected to be used in the therapeutic meth-odology research of cervicofacial VMs.

Objective:To describe and analyze suicide risk of patients with schizophrenia,major depressive disorder,and bipolar disorder.Methods:A total of 2 016 patients with schizophrenia,903 patients with major de-pressive disorder,and 381 patients with bipolar disorder from inpatients,clinics,or communities who met the diag-nostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition were recruited.All patients were interviewed by psychiatrists using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview to diagnose mental disor-ders and assess suicide risk,as well as Clinical-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity(CRDPSS)to as-sess symptoms.Differences and risk factors of suicide risk among three types of mental disorders were explored u-sing multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:In the past one month,37 patients with schizophrenia(1.8％),516 patients with major depressive disorder(57.1％),and 102 patients with bipolar disorder(26.8％)had suicide risk.Compared with patients with schizophrenia,suicide risk in patients with major depressive disorder(OR=36.50)and bipolar disorder(OR=20.10)increased.Female(OR=1.87),smoking(OR=1.76),family history of suicide(OR=5.09),higher score of CRDPSS hallucination(OR=1.80),and higher score of CRDPSS depression(OR=1.54)were risk factors of suicide risk of patients.Conclusions:Suicide risk of patients with ma-jor depressive disorder and bipolar disorder is higher than that of patients with schizophrenia.In clinical practice,it is important to regularly assess suicide risk of patients.Patients who experience symptoms of hallucination and de-pression should be paid more attention to.

Objective:To evaluate direct and indirect costs for schizophrenia,major depressive disorder(MDD)and bipolar disorder,and to compare their differences of cost composition,and to explore the drivers of the total costs.Methods:A total of 3 175 inpatients with schizophrenia,MDD,and bipolar disorder were recruited.In-patient's self-report total direct of medical costs outpatient and inpatient,out-of-pocket costs,and direct non-medical costs were regarded as direct costs.Productivity loss and other loss caused by damaging properties were defined as indirect costs.The perspectives of this study included individual and societal levels.Multivariate regression analysis was applied for detecting the factors influencing disease costs.Results:The total cost of schizophrenia was higher than those of MDD and bipolar disorder at individual and societal levels.The indirect costs of three mental disorders were higher than the direct costs,and the indirect cost ratio of bipolar disorder was higher than those of schizophre-nia and MDD.Age,gender,working condition and marital status(P＜0.05)were the important drivers of total costs.Conclusion:The economic burden of the three mental disorders is relatively heavy.Schizophrenia has heaviest disease burden,and the productivity loss due to mental disorders is the driving force of the soaring disease cost

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and related socio-demographic factors of schizo-phrenia patients with different ages of onset.Methods:Totally 2 016 patients with schizophrenia aged 15 to 70 were selected according to the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition.All of the patients were interviewed by psychiatrists using the Mini International Neuropsy-chiatric Interview to diagnose schizophrenia,Clinical-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity(CRDPSS)and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)to assess symptoms.The cut-off points were 18 and 25 years old for three age groups,i.e.early onset(EOS),youth onset(YOS)and adult onset(AOS).Statistical analy-ses were performed by analysis of variance Pearson correlation analysis,and multivariate linear regression.Results:The early-onset patients had the highest total PANSS score(73.8±28.0)and CRDPSS score(11.7±5.4).Fe-male gender,high education level,Han ethnicity,early onset age,and slower onset of illness were negatively corre-lated with the total and dimension score of PANSS scale and CRDPSS scale(standardized regression coefficient:0.04-0.47),and income level and smoking were negatively correlated with those score(standardized regression coefficient:-0.04--0.14).Conclusion:Early-onset schizophrenia patients have more severe symptoms,and fe-male,high education level,early-onset disease,and chronic onset are the risk factors of symptom severity in patients with schizophrenia.
