Due to the difficulty of overcoming the abnormal epidermal barriers and addressing S. aureus infections without disrupting indigenous skin microbiota, effective treatment of bacterial infection atopic dermatitis (AD) remains a significant clinical challenge. Skin microbiota-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) shows protentional for skin disease treatment, but the lack of antimicrobial activity and limited skin penetration hamper their application in bacterial infection AD treatment. Here, we developed novel nanoantibiotics by loading Lev into S. epidermidis-derived EVs (Lev@SE-EVs), with supreme antimicrobial activity, regulating epidermal immune responses and enhanced epidermal barrier functionality. The nanoantibiotics were further integrated into hyaluronic acid-based microneedle (MN) for efficient transdermal delivery of therapeutic agents and effectively treating bacterial infection in AD. Upon insertion into the skin, the rapidly released Lev@SE-EVs from MN are uptake by S. aureus in a selective manner, fibroblasts, and surrounding immune cells to exert therapeutic effects in the infected dermal layer, resulting in mitigated skin inflammation, reduced S. aureus burden and increased dermis repair. Notably, Lev@SE-EVs induce IL-17A⁺ CD8⁺ T-cell accumulation in the skin in an unrelated inflammation manner, which may represent heterologous protection. This EVs-integrated MN assisted Lev@SE-EVs to alleviate skin inflammation, repair skin, and provide an effective and safe therapeutic approach for bacterial infection AD treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange (PE) in thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis (MG), thereby to provide theoretical support for its application in the treatment of thymoma-associated MG. Methods: A total of 133 patients with thymoma-associated MG admitted from January 2018 to September 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were matched using propensity score to reduce selection bias, yielding 22 matched pairs for both PE group (n=22) and non-PE group (n=22). Patient characteristics including gender, age of disease onset, course of disease, history of thymoma resection, clinical absolute scores [clinical absolute scores (CAS) and clinical relative scores (CRS)], and synchronized immunotherapy regimen of the two groups were analyzed. The CAS scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the CRS was used to assess the treatment efficiency. Safety of the two treatment regimens were also compared. Continuous variables were compared using the t-test or ANOVA, while categorical data were compared by the chi-square test. Results: A total of 133 patients were included and divided into two groups according to whether they underwent plasma exchange treatment: the PE group (n=22) and the non-PE group (n=111). To exclude bias caused by large difference in the number of cases between the two groups, we performed propensity score matching. After matching, the number of cases in both groups was 22. There was no significant difference in baseline clinical characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05), including gender, age of onset, duration of disease course, history of thymectomy and baseline CAS score before treatment. Compared to the non-PE group, patients in the PE group showed more significant improvement in CAS score (5.09±1.95 vs 3.59±1.50, P<0.05) and a higher CRS score (75.00% vs 50.00%, P<0.001). Compared to the non-PE group, PE group had significantly longer ICU stay, longer hospital stay and higher hospitalization cost (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in adverse events between the two groups during treatment (P>0.05). During long-term follow-up, both the PE and non-PE groups showed relatively low 1-, 3-, and 5-year recurrence rate, with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: This study indicates that plasma exchange has clear value in the treatment of patients with thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis. It can not only significantly improve patients' muscle strength to alleviate motor dysfunction and enhance quality of life, but also does not significantly increase the incidence of adverse reactions. Therefore, it can be regarded as one of the preferred treatment options that achieve a "balance between efficacy and safety" for such patients, and provides an important basis for optimizing treatment strategies, improving prognosis, and promoting the application of subsequent treatment regimens.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of therapeutic plasma exchange and rituximab in the treatment of passenger lymphocyte syndrome (PLS) after ABO incompatible liver transplantation. Methods: PLS diagnosis was performed on the transplant patient using immunohematology testing techniques such as direct anti human globulin test (DAT), red blood cell elution test, and blood type antibody titer detection, combined with changes in hemolysis laboratory indicators; Severe immune hemolysis caused by PLS treated with red blood cell transfusion, therapeutic plasma exchange, and rituximab. Results: The patient was diagnosed with PLS 9 days after transplantation, and hemolysis caused by PLS continued until 20 days after transplantation; After three rounds of therapeutic plasma exchange and treatment with 100 mg rituximab, the titer of the patient's immune blood type antibody (IgG anti-B) decreased from 128 to 8 and was maintained until 27 days after transplantation. The patient's hemolytic symptoms improved and were discharged 32 days after transplantation. Conclusion: This case explores the application of therapeutic plasma exchange and rituximab in the treatment of severe hemolysis in PLS after transplantation, providing a reference for establishing standardized management of PLS after solid organ transplantation.

Objective:To understand the contamination risk, drug resistance and virulence characteristics of cooked food pathogens in Tianjin.Methods:Pathogenic bacteria were isolated and identified in cooked food sold in Tianjin from 2019 to 2021, drug susceptibility test and whole genome sequencing were conducted for the isolates, and multilocus sequence typing, drug resistance gene, phenotype and virulence gene were analyzed for the data.Results:Ten pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 245 cooked food samples collected. The ST types of 7 Salmonella strains were ST40, ST198, ST14, ST13 and ST155. The two strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were ST647 and ST2622 respectively. One strain of Cronobacter sakazakii was ST8 type. All the 6 isolates were drug-resistant, and 3 of them were multidrug-resistant (MDR). A total of 63 drug-resistant genes were predicted in 10 isolates. Two Salmonella strains were ampicillin-chloramphenicol-streptomycin-sulfamethoxazole-tetracycline resistant (MDR-ACSSuT), and both Salmonella strains carried gyrA double mutations (S83F, D87N) and parC mutations (S80I). Vibrio parahaemolyticus mainly carries blaCARB and tet (35) genes, while Cronobacter sakazakii carries only one resistance gene blaCSA-1. A total of 163 virulence genes were predicted from 10 isolates. Conclusions:In this study, pathogenic bacteria are repeatedly detected in quail eggs, warning that other eggs besides chicken eggs should also pay special attention to the risk of contamination. The isolates in this study are all of the prevalent ST type with widespread drug resistance, and MDR-ACSSuT strains should be paid attention to. The key role of gyrA double mutation (S83F, D87N) and parC mutation (S80I) in the development of quinolone resistance should not be ignored. T3SS (typeⅢ secretory system) and T6SS (typeⅥ secretory system) are important virulence gene clusters of Salmonella and Vibrio parahemolyticus.

Multimodal analgesia is the gold standard for postoperative pain management,and ultra-sound-guided nerve block as the cornerstone supplemented with fewer opioids and a sufficient amount of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)throughout the entire course of the procedure is the most main-stream multimodal analgesic regimen at present.However,ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are limited by the duration of action of local anesthetics and often provide effective analgesia for surgical patients for no more than 8 hours,resulting in a low satisfaction rate of postoperative analgesia in surgical patients.With the con-tinuous research on the concept of rapid rehabilitation,how to extend the duration of action of local anesthet-ics is the focus and hotspot of research.Ultra-long-acting local anesthetics include liposomal bupivacaine and HTX-011,which have been applied in clinical practice,and quaternary ammonium derivatives,which are still in the research stage.In this paper,we will review the existing ultra-long-acting local anesthetics in terms of ultra-long-acting local anesthetics with extended-release systems,new pathways and targets of ultra-long-acting local anesthetics,and the development of ultra-long-acting local anesthetics in the form of brand-new compounds,so as to provide new ideas for the subsequent research and clinical application of ultra-long-acting local anesthetics.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of personalized pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)for proliferative di-abetic retinopathy(PDR).Methods In this retrospective case study,76 patients(86 eyes)diagnosed with PDR and re-ceiving PPV in the Department of Ophthalmology of Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from October 2019 to November 2022,were divided into the observation group(40 patients,46 eyes)and the control group(36 patients,40 eyes).Patients in the obseration group were treated with personalized PPV,while patients in the control group were treated with conventional PPV,After treatment,all patients were followed up for 12 months.The operation time,intraoperative use of heavy water and silicone oil,incidence of iatrogenic retinal tears and heavy water resi-dues,proportion of scleral buckling,preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and intraocular pressure(IOP),retinal reattachment rate at 12 months after surgery,and the incidence of post-vitrectomy vitreous hemor-rhage(PVH),diabetic macular edema(DME)and neovascular glaucoma(NVG)were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time of patients in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Intraoperative use of heavy water and silicone oil in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(both P＜0.05).The incidence of iatrogenic retinal tears and heavy water residues and the proportion of scleral buckling showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups(all P＞0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in BCVA preoperatively,3,6 and 12 months postoperatively(all P＞0.05).BCVA in the observa-tion group was better than that in the control group at 1 day,1 week and 1 month after surgery(all P＜0.05).Compared with the preoperative value,BCVA increased in the observation group at 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months,6 months,and 12 months after surgery(all P＜0.05);in the control group,BCVA increased slightly at 1 day and 1 week(both P＞0.05)and then increased significantly at 1 month,3 months,6 months,and 12 months after surgery(all P＜0.05).The two groups showed no statistically significant difference in IOP at 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months,6 months,and 12 months postoperatively(all P＞0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the retinal reattachment rate and the inci-dence of complications such as PVH,DME,and NVG between the two groups at 12 months postoperatively(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Personalized PPV can shorten the operation time,reduce the intraoperative use of heavy water and silicone oil,enhance the efficiency of the operation,and rapidly improve the visual acuity of PDR patients.
