OBJECTIVE To establish a high-risk medication list and preventive and therapeutic measures for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of this condition. METHODS By integrating domestic and international case reports， retrospective case-control studies， and spontaneous adverse drug reaction reporting databases， 19 domestically marketed high-risk drugs for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia were identified. Based on the clinical characteristics and mechanisms of these drugs， relevant risk factors were systematically reviewed， and existing treatment options were summarized， leading to the preliminary development of recommended preventive and therapeutic measures. A two-round Delphi consultation was conducted to evaluate， revise， and ultimately reach consensus on the preliminary findings， using a mean importance score of ≥3.5 points for indicators and a coefficient of variation ＜0.3 as screening criteria. RESULTS The coefficient of expert authority for both rounds of expert consultation was 0.904. In the first round， the Kendall coordination coefficients （Kendall’s W ） for the high-risk medication list and the proposed preventive and therapeutic measures were 0.390 and 0.223 （ P ＜0.05）， respectively. In the second round， the Kendall’s W were 0.227 and 0.200 （ P ＜0.05）， respectively. After two rounds of expert consultation and discussion， 11 high-risk drugs for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， represented by hemocoagulase and certain anti-infective agents， were ultimately identified， along with 5 preventive and therapeutic measures spanning the entire process of “pre-medication assessment， intra-medication monitoring， and bleeding event management”. CONCLUSIONS This study has established a scientific and reliable high-risk medication list， and corresponding preventive and therapeutic measures for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， providing a theoretical basis and practical support for the early identification， stratified management， and precise intervention of this condition.

The Type III Secretion System (T3SS) serves as a pivotal virulence apparatus for numerous Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, enabling them to infect both animal and plant hosts. Functioning as a molecular syringe, the T3SS directly translocates bacterial effector proteins from the bacterial cytoplasm into the interior of eukaryotic host cells. These effectors are central weapons that precisely manipulate a wide spectrum of host cellular physiological processes, ranging from cytoskeletal dynamics to immune signaling, to establish a favorable niche for bacterial survival and proliferation. Among the diverse arsenal of T3SS effectors, the YopJ family constitutes a critical group of virulence factors. Members of this family are characterized by a conserved catalytic triad structure—a hallmark of the CE clan of cysteine proteases that has been evolutionarily repurposed to confer acetyltransferase activity. A defining and intriguing feature of these enzymes is their stringent dependence on a host-derived eukaryotic cofactor, inositol hexakisphosphate (IP₆), for allosteric activation. This requirement acts as a sophisticated molecular safeguard, ensuring enzymatic activity only within the appropriate host environment, thereby preventing detrimental effects on the bacterium itself. While seminal studies on individual members such as Yersinia’s YopJ and Salmonella’s AvrA have provided deep mechanistic insights, a systematic and integrative understanding of the structure-function relationships across the entire family remains fragmented. Key questions persist regarding how a conserved catalytic core has diverged to recognize distinct host substrates in different kingdoms of life. To address this gap, this article provides a systematic review of the YopJ family, focusing on three interconnected aspects: their structural features, their catalytic mechanism, and their divergent immunosuppressive strategies in animal versus plant hosts. By conducting a comparative analysis of the sequences and resolved three-dimensional structures of three representative members (e.g., HopZ1a, PopP2, AvrA), we elucidate regions of significant variation embedded within the conserved core catalytic architecture. These variable regions, often involving surface loops and substrate-binding interfaces, are crucial determinants of target specificity and functional specialization. The functional divergence of this effector family is most apparent when comparing their modes of action in different hosts. In animal hosts, YopJ-family effectors primarily sabotage innate immune signaling pathways. They achieve this by acetylating key serine and threonine residues within the activation loops of critical kinases in the MAPK and NF‑κB pathways. This post-translational modification blocks the phosphorylation and subsequent activation of these kinases, leading to potent suppression of inflammatory cytokine production. Conversely, in plant hosts, the strategy broadens to dismantle the two-tiered plant immune system. YopJ homologs target a more diverse set of substrates, including immune-associated receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs), microtubule networks via tubulin acetylation (which disrupts cellular trafficking and signaling), and transcription factors central to defense gene regulation. This multi-target approach effectively suppresses both Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI) and Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI). In conclusion, this synthesis aims to deepen the mechanistic understanding of YopJ family-mediated pathogenesis by integrating structural biology with cellular function across host kingdoms. Elucidating the precise molecular basis for substrate selection—how conserved platforms achieve target diversity—is a major frontier. Furthermore, this knowledge provides a vital theoretical foundation for developing novel anti-virulence strategies. Targeting the conserved IP₆-binding pocket or the catalytic acetyltransferase activity itself represents a promising avenue for designing broad-spectrum inhibitors that could disarm this critical family of bacterial effectors, potentially offering new therapeutic approaches against a range of pathogenic bacteria.

Objective:To investigate the effects of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on the readmission rate, complication rate, mortality rate and survival of patients with liver cirrhosis.Methods:From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, 395 hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis at Tianmen Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical data were collected from the patients at their first hospitalization (baseline period) and re-hospitalization during follow-up period. The 18-month follow-up was divided into 4 periods, including the first period (from the 0th to the 3rd month), the second one was from the 4th to the 6th month, the third one was from the 7th to the 12th month, and the fourth one was from the 13th to the 18th month of follow-up. The prognostic value of PNI for patients with liver cirrhosis was evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the baseline PNI. The 395 patients were divided into the low PNI group and the high PNI group based on the optimal cut-off value of PNI on the ROC. Patients readmitted during each follow-up period were divided into the PNI improvement group (PNI at follow-up -PNI at baseline>0) and the PNI non-improvement group (PNI at follow-up-PNI at baseline ≤0). Independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test were used for statistical analysis. Survival curves depicting the relationship between PNI and overall survival rate of patients with liver cirrhosis were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results:The ROC analysis indicated that the optimal cut-off value of PNI at baseline was 32.65, with an area under the curve of 0.639 (95% confidence interval: 0.541 to 0.738, P=0.011), with a sensitivity of 0.567 and a specificity of 0.701. There were 269 cases in the high PNI group and 126 cases in the low PNI group. The readmission rate, complication rate and mortality rate in the low PNI group were all higher than those in the high PNI group at the first and fourth follow-up periods (32.5% (41/126) vs. 22.3% (60/269), 31.7% (40/126) vs. 20.4% (55/269), 6.3% (8/126) vs. 1.1% (3/269), 25.0% (29/116) vs. 16.2% (42/260), 25.0% (29/116) vs. 15.4% (40/260), 6.0% (7/116) vs. 1.5% (4/260)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.72, 6.00, 6.86, 4.10, 4.95, and 4.24; P=0.030, 0.014, 0.009, 0.043, 0.026, and 0.040). The mortality rates of the PNI improvement group at the first and fourth follow-up periods were both lower than those of the PNI non-improvement group (4.3% (2/47) vs. 16.7% (9/54), 0 (0/24) vs. 23.4% (11/47)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=3.99, Fisher′s exact test; P=0.046 and 0.012). There were no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the PNI improvement group and the PNI non-improvement group at each follow-up period (all P>0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve demonstrated that the average survival time of the high PNI group was longer than that of the low PNI group (17.54 months (95% confidence interval: 17.26 to 17.83 months) vs. 16.74 months (95% confidence interval: 16.96 to 17.52 months), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=9.18, P<0.001). The survival rate of the high PNI group at the 18th month of follow-up period was higher than that of the low PNI group (95.2% (256/269) vs. 86.5% (109/126), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=9.17, P=0.002). Conclusions:PNI has certain predictive efficacy for the survival period of patients with liver cirrhosis. Low-level PNI may increase the readmission rate, complication rate, and mortality of patients with liver cirrhosis, and shorten the survival period, indicating poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the coagulation effect of a cold atmospheric plasma(CAP)jet device with helium as the working gas and to study its coagulation mechanism preliminarily.Methods A CAP jet device treatment group,a helium airflow treatment group,a hot air treatment group(60℃)and a natural coagulation group were formed according to the treatment modes of the blood samples,with 10 μL of blood samples involved in each group,in order to validate the coagulation effect of the CAP jet device in vitro;the coagulation mechanism of the CAP jet device was explored by its application to the treatment of anticoagulated whole blood,platelet-rich plasma and platelet-depleted plasma;the coagulation effect of the CAP jet device in vivo was verified with a mouse liver punctate hemorrhage model and a rabbit mesenteric hemorrhage model.Results The CAP jet device can significantly accelerate the coagulation of anticoagulated blood droplets,and the coagulation time of anticoagulated blood droplets in the CAP jet device-treated group was shortened from 28 min in the natural coagulation group to(23±1.56)s,with the difference statistically significant(P<0.05),and the CAP jet device treatment group gained advantages significantly over the helium airflow treatment group(P<0.05)and the hot air(60℃)treatment group(P<0.05)in coagulation-promoting effect;the procoagulant effect of the CAP jet device rose with the increase of platelet content in blood droplets,and the coagulation effect of platelet-rich blood droplets was significantly better than that of whole blood(P<0.05),while no coagulation was observed in platelet-poor droplets.The CAP jet device could rapidly stop hemostasis of punctate hemorrhage in mouse liver and mesenteric hemorrhage in rabbits without delayed hemorrhage occurring within 10 min,and no obvious structural abnormality of the liver and thermal damage of the tissue were found microscopically.Conclusion The CAP jet device plays procoagulant and hemostatic effects in vivo and in vitro,and its effect is not dependent on temperature and airflow evaporation effects and is considered to be related to platelet activation,with low thermal damage to living tissue.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):20-27]

Objectives:To evaluate the hemodynamic impact of different bypass grafting methods on the left anterior descending(LAD)artery using computational fluid dynamics,providing a theoretical basis for optimizing coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods:A patient-specific 3D coronary model was constructed using SimVascular software,including an in-situ internal mammary artery graft(model 1)and three free grafts of varying diameters(model 2:2 mm internal mammary artery free graft;model 3 and model 4:3 mm and 4 mm great saphenous vein free grafts).The hemodynamic parameters of the native artery and grafts were compared among the four bypass grafting models.Results:All four bypass grafting models supply sufficient blood flow for the severely stenosed LAD.LAD flow was slightly lower in the model 1.Free internal mammary artery grafts showed higher flow and wall shear stress.4 mm great saphenous vein free grafts presented with maximum flow but lowest shear stress,3 mm great saphenous vein free grafts offered better hemodynamic stability.Conclusions:Computational fluid dynamics analysis indicates that free internal mammary grafts could provide superior hemodynamics,while larger grafts result in lower shear stress,which might affect long-term graft patency.These findings thus provide experimental evidences useful for optimizing LAD bypass strategies.
