OBJECTIVE To establish refined medication rules for parenteral nutrition （PN） and evaluate its effectiveness. METHODS Refined medication rules for PN were constructed based on drug instructions， relevant guidelines， and expert consensus. Through the pre-approval review system of prescription automatic screening system （PASS）， PN prescription information for inpatients from January to December 2024 （referred to as “post-intervention”） was collected to analyze the post- intervention prescription review status. PN prescription information for inpatients at our hospital from January to December 2023 and January to December 2024 was collected through the medical order review system to evaluate the rationality rates of PN prescriptions. RESULTS The established refined medication rules for PN included system module rules （including nutrients， drug compatibility， PN concentration and osmotic pressure） and custom review rules （covering off-label drug use， drug compatibility， and other drug use conditions）. As of December 2024， the PASS pre-approval review system had established a total of 102 rules， comprising 55 system module rules and 47 custom review rules for PN. After intervention， when comparing with the first quarter of 2024， the number of PN reviewed and intervened by pharmacists decreased， the pharmacist intervention rate dropped， while the rate of physician modifications following pharmacist intervention increased in the fourth quarter. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the system module rules were irrational PN concentration and osmotic pressure. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the custom review rules were off-label drug use （specifically indications for amino acids） and irrational drug incompatibility. In 2024， the number of false-positive tasks and the false-positive rate initially increased and then decreased， while both the number of irrational prescriptions identified through manual review and the false-negative rate showed a declining trend. In 2024， the overall rationality rate after manual review PN refined medication rules for PN medical order review system significantly increased compared to that in 2023 （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The refined medication rules for PN in our hospital were established successfully， which can reduce the PN-induced risks and significantly improve the rationality of PN prescriptions.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of patients undergoing the maintenance hemodialysis and treatment-naive tuberculosis and to explore the prognostic factors,so as to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of patients undergoing hemodialysis due to tuberculosis.Methods The clinical data of 70 patients undergoing hemodialysis with treatment-naive tuberculosis admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Kunming from October 31,2020～October 31,2023 were retrospectively collected,the clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed,and the occurrence of adverse reactions,treatment outcomes and prognostic factors were observed.Results Among the 70 patients,pulmonary tuberculosis was the primary type(64 cases,accounting for 91.43％),and extrapulmonary tuberculosis was also quite common(56 cases,accounting for 80.00％).The most widely used anti-tuberculosis regimen was isoniazid,rifampicin,ethambutol,and moxifloxacin in a four-drug combination;During the anti-tuberculosis treatment,55 patients(78.57％)improved.A total of 13 adverse reactions occurred in 11 patients(15.71％),and the most common ones were itching,rash and blurred vision.The hemoglobin,lymphocyte count and CD8+T lymphocyte count in the treatment improvement group were higher than those in the ineffective group(P<0.05).Conclusion Dialysis patients have a high risk of tuberculosis infection,mainly pulmonary tuberculosis,and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is more common.78.57％of the patients hare improved after the tuberculosis treatment,but the overall prognosis is poor,and the low hemoglobin level is associated with ineffective treatment.

Objective To analyze the efficacy of different nucleoside(acid)analogs(NAs)used as monotherapy and in combination with pegylated interferon α-2b(Peg-IFN-α-2b)in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 229 CHB patients who visited the Hepatology Department of the Third People's Hospital of Kunming from September 2022 to August 2023.Patients were divided into six groups based on their antiviral regimen:entecavir(ETV)group(A,n=47),ETV combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group(B,n=19),Tenofovir Alafenamide(TMF)group(C,n=64),TMF combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group(D,n=35),Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate(TDF)group(E,n=29),and TDF combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group(F,n=35).The blood routine,liver function,kidney function,HBV serological markers,and HBV-DNA levels were compared before and after 24 weeks of treatment.Results After 24 weeks of treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in efficacy rates and HBV-DNA positivity rates between the monotherapy with NAs and the combination with Peg-IFN-α-2b(P>0.05).Comparing before and after treatment,the ETV group had the highest effective rate,while TDF combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group had the lowest effective rate.TDF group had the highest efficiency,while ETV combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group had the lowest efficiency.Except for ETV+Peg-IFN-α-2b and TDF+Peg-IFN-α-2b groups,the HBV-DNA positivity rates in the other four groups were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05).There was a significant difference in HBsAg levels among the different treatment regimens of monotherapy with NAs and combination with Peg-IFN-α-2b(P=0.0483).Additionally,except for the ETV and TDF groups,the serum HBsAg levels in the other four groups were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05).There were no significant difference in LSM and GFR before and after treatment(P>0.05).In the monotherapy groups,ALT and GGT levels were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05),while in the combination Peg-IFN-α-2b group,WBC,NEUT,and PLT levels were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05).Conclusion Combination therapy with Peg-IFN-α-2b can reduce HBsAg levels and may be more effective in controlling the virus;however,it may cause adverse reactions such as bone marrow suppression,increasing risks.Physicians and patients need to weigh the benefits against the risks and develop personalized treatment plans based on individual circumstances.

Objective:To assess the viability of reducing radiation dose, contrast media volume, injection flow rate and contrast medium concentration (quadruple low-dose protocol) by utilizing virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) in photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) for aortic CT angiography (CTA), while maintaining image quality in comparison to images obtained from energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT).Methods:From April 2024 to June 2024, a total of 40 participants who underwent aortic CTA on PCD-CT were prospectively enrolled in the experimental group (PCD-CT group), while 40 patients with similar baseline characteristics who had previously undergone aortic CTA using EID-CT were retrospectively selected for the conventional group (EID-CT group). The EID-CT group used a tube voltage of 90 kVp, a contrast media volume of 60 ml of contrast, an injection flow rate of 3 ml/s, and a contrast concentration of 350 mgI/ml; the PCD-CT group used the QuantumPlus mode, with a tube voltage of 140 kVp, a total amount of iodine in the contrast media of 140 mgI/kg, and an injection flow rate=contrast media volume/(delay time+scan time), and a contrast media concentration of 320 mgI/ml. VMIs in PCD-CT group were reconstructed in 5-keV intervals ranging from 45 to 65 keV. The effective radiation dose and contrast injection protocols were recorded and compared between two groups. Objective image quality assessment was performed for each group. CT attenuation, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were measured at five anatomical locations (ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta, abdominal aorta, and right common iliac artery), and image noise was recorded. Subjective image quality was independently evaluated by two readers using a 5-point Likert scale in a blinded manner. Based on data normality, the one-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test was used for image quality assessment, with Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc analysis for multiple comparisons.Results:There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between two groups (all P0.05). The PCD-CT group demonstrated significantly lower effective radiation dose [(3.88±0.65) mSv vs. (5.97±1.15)mSv], contrast media volume [(29.25±4.56) ml vs. 60 ml], and injection rate [(2.65±0.42) ml/s vs. 3 ml/s] than the EID-CT group, with reductions of 35%, 51%, and 12%, respectively (all P0.001). For objective image quality, except for the ascending aortic CT attenuation, the CT attenuation, SNR, and CNR of other vessels in the 55 keV PCD-CT group were comparable to those in the EID-CT group. Additionally, the difference in image noise between these two groups was not statistically significant ( P0.05). Concerning subjective image quality, at 55 keV, the PCD-CT group had similar image noise scores and vessel attenuation scores (both P0.05) and better visualization of renal artery branching ( P=0.001) compared to the EID-CT group. Conclusion:In comparison to EID-CT, the use of a 55 keV image in PCD-CT for aortic CTA has demonstrated reductions in radiation dose, contrast media volume, injection flow rate and contrast medium concentration, while maintaining image quality.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of head and neck vascular imaging using photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) combined with a “quadruple lows” protocol—characterized by low contrast media volume, low iodine concentration, low injection rate, and low radiation dose—and to compare the image quality with that obtained by energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT).Methods:A total of 105 patients with suspected cerebrovascular disease were prospectively enrolled at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between April and June 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups ( n=35). Group A underwent conventional head and neck CTA using EID-CT. Group B underwent PCD-CT with a protocol involving ultra-low contrast media volume, low iodine concentration, and low injection rate. Group C underwent PCD-CT with the full “quadruple low” protocol. Objective image quality parameters—including CT attenuation, image noise (standard deviation, SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR)—were measured at the ascending aorta, common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, vertebral artery, basilar artery, posterior cerebral artery, and middle cerebral artery. Two radiologists independently rated subjective image quality using a 5-point Likert scale. Differences among groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results:Compared to Group A [contrast volume: (42.78±6.64)ml], contrast agent volume was significantly reduced in Groups B and C[ (26.26±4.45) ml and (26.54±3.83)ml, respectively], demonstrating reductions of 39% and 38% (both P<0.01). The iodine concentration was 320 mg/ml in Groups B and C, lower than 350 mg/ml in Group A (8.5%). The injection rate was also reduced in Groups B and C [(3.39±0.61) and (3.55±0.51)ml/s, respectively] compared to Group A [(4.28±0.66) ml/s], with reductions of 21% and 17% (both P<0.01). The effective dose (ED) was similar between Groups A and B [(1.40±0.15) vs. (1.40±0.19)mSv, P>0.05], while Group C demonstrated a significantly lower ED [(0.99±0.09) mSv], with a reduction of 30% compared to Group A and 29% compared to Group B (both P<0.01).In terms of objective image quality, significant differences in image noise (SD) were observed among the three groups at the vertebral artery, internal carotid artery, posterior cerebral artery, and middle cerebral artery (all P<0.05). Groups B and C showed significantly lower SD compared to Group A ( P<0.05), with no significant difference between B and C ( P>0.05). SNR was significantly higher in Groups B and C than in Group A at multiple vascular segments (all P<0.05). CNR differed only at the internal carotid artery, where Groups B and C demonstrated superior performance compared to Group A ( P<0.05).Subjective image quality scores showed no significant difference between Groups A and C ( P>0.05), while Group B had significantly higher scores than both A and C ( P<0.05). All images were deemed diagnostically acceptable. Conclusion:Compared with conventional EID-CT, PCD-CT combined with a “quadruple lows” protocol enables substantial reductions in contrast media and radiation dose while further improving image quality in head and neck CTA.

Objective To observe the feasibility of photon-counting detector(PCD)-CT combined with"four-lows"protocol(low contrast agent concentration,low contrast dose,low contrast agent flow rate,low radiation dose)for coronary CT angiography(CCTA).Methods Totally 106 patients with suspected coronary artery disease were prospectively enrolled and randomized into energy-integrating detector(EID)-CCTA(group A,using conventional scanning protocol,n=52)or PCD-CCTA(group B,using"four-lows"scanning protocol,n=54)groups and underwent relative examinations.The radiation dose,subjective and objective evaluation results of imaging quality were compared between groups.Results The contrast agent dose and flow rate,volume CT dose index,dose length product and effective dose in group B were all lower than those in group A(all P＜0.001).The subjective scores in group B were higher than in group A(5[4,5]vs.4[4,5],Z=-2.310,P=0.021).Compared with group A,CT value,signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio of aortic root and most of the main branches of coronary arteries increased in group B,while standard deviation of CT value decreased(all P＜0.05).Conclusion PCD-CT combined with"four-lows"protocol could be used for CCTA,which could improve imaging quality and reduce contrast agent usage and radiation dose.

Objective:To construct an information management system based on the back-end framework of React componentization and front-end framework of Uni scalable enterprise,so as to explore its application effect in management for operation room.Methods:React was used as the backend framework to construct JavaScript program code library of user interface,and all front-end applications that adopted Uni as the development system of frontend framework were used to construct informatization management system based on React and Uni framework,so as to manage operation room of hospital.A total of 100 surgical equipment that were used in the operation room of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected.According to different management methods,the conventional management method was adopted to manage equipment during January and June 2023,while the management method of informatization management system(informatization management)based on React and Uni frameworks was adopted to manage these equipment during July and December 2023.The frequency of leaving operation room of nursing personnel due to non-nursing events,the timeliness rate of transporting surgical patients and incidence of adverse events of nursing,as well as implementation rates of"five confirmations"included confirmed equipment,confirmed staff,confirmed time,confirmed quality and confirmed quantity,between two kinds of management methods were compared.Results:In the 200 surgeries of adopting informatization management method,the frequency of leaving operation room of nursing personnel due to non-nursing events was 2.5%,which was lower than 7.5%of conventional management method,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=5.213,P<0.05).The implementation rate of the"five confirmations"for equipment was 100%,which was higher than that of conventional management methods,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=15.232,P<0.05).The timeliness rate of transporting surgical patients was 100%in 100 surgeries,which was higher than 85%of conventional management method,and the difference was significant(x2=15.136,P<0.05).The incidence of various kinds of adverse events of nursing in the operating room was 0 in 100 surgeries,which was lower than that of conventional management method,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=0.226,P<0.05).Conclusion:The informatization management system based on React and Uni framework can significantly reduce the frequency of leaving operation room of nursing personnel due to non-nursing events in operation room,and improve the work efficiency in operation room,and reduce the incidences of work errors and adverse events in management for surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of "Tongdu Yisui" (unblocking the governor vessel and benefiting marrow) acupuncture and moxibustion on Meige syndrome. METHODS: Fifteen patients with Meige syndrome were treated with "Tongdu Yisui" acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture was applied to Baihui (GV20), Dazhui (GV14), Shenzhu (GV12), Zhiyang (GV9), Jinsuo (GV8), bilateral Taixi (KI3), Zhaohai (KI6) and etc. Moxibustion was delivered at Jinsuo (GV8). After acupuncture and moxibustion at these body points, Jiao's scalp acupuncture was operated at bilateral chorea-tremor control area, and the patients were asked to walk for 20 min during needle retaining. Acupuncture and moxibustion were administered 20 min each time, once every two days, 3 times weekly and for 8 consecutive weeks. Assessments were conducted before treatment, after treatment, and follow-up at three months after treatment completion using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden dystonia rating scale (BFMDRS-M), abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS), and blepharospasm disability index (BSDI); and the clinical effect was evaluated after treatment. RESULTS: Compared before treatment, the scores of the sub-items of BFMDRS-M for eyes, mouth, speech and swallowing, and neck, as well as the total score of the scale, AIMS score and BSDI score decreased after treatment and during follow-up (P<0.05); the scores of the above indexes were not different statistically in comparison between the follow-up and after treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, 13 cases were effective, 2 cases were failed and the total effective rate was 86.7% (13/15). CONCLUSION "Tongdu Yisui" acupuncture and moxibustion can effectively alleviate motor symptoms and dysfunction of Meige syndrome and presents the sustained therapeutic effect.

This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of rubioncolin C(RuC) in inhibiting gastric cancer(GC). AGS and MGC803 cell lines were selected as cellular models. After treating the cells with RuC at different concentrations, the effects of RuC on the proliferation ability of GC cells were assessed using the CCK-8 method, real-time cellular analysis(RTCA), and colony formation assays. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe subcellular structural changes. Immunofluorescence was applied to detect LC3 fluorescent foci. Acridine orange staining was used to evaluate the state of intracellular lysosomes. Western blot was employed to detect the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3Ⅱ, P62, and lysosomal cathepsin D(CTSD). The SuperPred online tool was used to predict the target proteins that bound to RuC, and molecular docking analysis was conducted to identify the interaction sites between RuC and CTSD. The drug affinity responsive target stability(DARTS) assay was performed to detect the direct binding interaction between RuC and CTSD. The results showed that RuC significantly inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of GC cells at low concentrations, with 24-hour half-maximal inhibitory concentrations(IC_(50)) of 3.422 and 2.697 μmol·L~(-1) for AGS and MGC803 cells, respectively. After 24 hours of treatment with RuC at concentrations of 1, 2, and 3 μmol·L~(-1), the colony formation rates for AGS cells were 61.0%±1.5%, 28.0%±0.5%, and 18.2%±0.5%, respectively, while the rates for MGC803 cells were 56.0%±0.5%, 23.3%±1.0%, and 11.8%±1.0%, all of which were significantly reduced. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that RuC promoted an increase in autophagosome formation in GC cells. Immunofluorescence detection showed that LC3 fluorescent foci of GC cells increased with the increase in RuC dose. RuC up-regulated the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3Ⅱ and P62 in GC cells. Acridine orange staining indicated that RuC altered the acidic environment of lysosomes. SuperPred online prediction identified CTSD as a potential target protein of RuC. Western blot analysis revealed that RuC induced the up-regulation of the inactive precursor of CTSD in GC cells. CTSD activity assays indicated that RuC reduced the activity of CTSD. Molecular docking simulations found that RuC bound to the substrate-binding region of CTSD, forming hydrogen bonds with the Tyr205 and Asp231 residues. Microscale thermophoresis and DARTS assays further confirmed that RuC directly bound to CTSD. In summary, RuC inhibits lysosomal activity by targeting and down-regulating the expression of CTSD, thereby inducing autophagosome accumulation in GC cells.
