Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, long-term survival, and prognosis of childhood T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).Methods:Case summary.The clinical data of 43 T-ALL children who were diagnosed and treated in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2010 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.They were stratified for treatment according to the CCCG-ALL regimen, and the correlation of prognosis with the condition at initial diagnosis, early treatment response, and induced remission was analyzed.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the survival rate, and the survival rates were compared between groups by the Log-rank test.The multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the impact of multiple factors on the long-term survival of children.Results:T-ALL patients accounted for 9.5% (43/451) of the total number of acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients admitted to the hospital at the same period.The median onset age of the 43 T-ALL patients was 7 years (1-13 years).Of the 43 patients included, 14 patients (32.6%) had concomitant mediastinal widening, 8 patients (18.6%) had concomitant giant mediastinal masses, and 4 patients (9.3%) had early precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) at initial diagnosis.These 43 children were treated according to the CCCG-ALL intermediate- and high-risk group regimen.Among them, 33 children (76.7%) achieved sustained remission, 5 children died, and 5 children had a relapse.As of September 30, 2024, the median follow-up time was 62 months (1-170 months), the 10-year event-free survival rate was (80.2±6.4)%, and the 10-year overall survival rate was (86.6±5.8)%.The median relapse time and 10-year cumulative relapse rate of the 5 relapsed children were 28 months (7-58 months) and (13.7±5.8)%, respectively.The relationship of prognosis with clinical characteristics at initial diagnosis and induced remission in 43 T-ALL children was analyzed.The results showed that patients aged ≥10 years, with a grade-1 non-central nervous system at initial diagnosis, ETP-ALL, abnormal chromosome number and structure, non-M1 status of bone marrow and minimal residual disease (MRD)≥ 1% on day 19 of induction treatment, and MRD ≥ 0.01% on day 46 to 55 of induction treatment had poorer long-term survival(all P<0.05).The multivariate analysis showed that age ≥10 years, ETP-ALL, and abnormal chromosome number and structure were risk factors of poor prognosis ( P=0.045, 0.030, 0.021). Conclusions:The CCCG-ALL regimen has a good overall therapeutic effect in children with T-ALL.Age ≥10 years, abnormal chromosome number and structure, ETP-ALL, grade-1 non-central nervous system at initial diagnosis, and early remission are risk factors of poor prognosis.Treatment after relapse in children with T-ALL is difficult.

In surgical diagnosis and treatment,the perioperative period is a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment process,including the rational application of antibiotics,nutrition management,pain management,blood pressure,blood sugar man-agement,and other processes.Perioperative pharmaceutical care has become one of the innovative fields of pharmaceutical care.In order to ensure the work and service quality of perioperative pharmaceutical care,the preparation team of perioperative pharmaceu-tical care standards takes scientific,universal,and practical principles as the basic principles,reviews the key points and difficul-ties from the three aspects of relevant national policy documents,relevant domestic and foreign standards and norms,and literature analysis,and combines the actual situation of perioperative pharmaceutical care.This pharmaceutical care standard was formulated after several rounds of opinion solicitation and expert argumentation.This paper analyzes the key contents of the standard,inclu-ding the basic requirements,service process,quality control,and evaluation and improvement of perioperative pharmaceutical care,so as to provide reference suggestions for medical structure managers and pharmacists who carry out perioperative pharma-ceutical care to deeply understand and practice this standard,so as to improve perioperative pharmaceutical care.

Organizational and institutional management plays a pivotal role in the pharmaceutical management of medi-cal institutions.Strengthening management in this area significantly enhances the quality of medical services and promotes the standardization,refinement,and scientific management of hospitals at all levels and types.To achieve homogenization in organiza-tional and institutional management,the Pharmaceutical Specialized Committee,Chinese Hospital Association compilation team adhered to principles of scientific,universality,instructiveness,and operability.After in-depth problem sorting,extensive opinion collection,and rigorous expert deliberation,we have formulated the first domestic group standard for regulating the organizational and institutional systems of pharmaceutical management in medical institutions.This article aims to detail the process of formula-ting this standard and to provide an in-depth analysis of its content,hoping to offer valuable advice and guidance for the construc-tion of organizational and institutional management in pharmaceutical affairs for medical institutions of all levels and types.

Objective To study the application of constructing a nursing recruitment index system for maternal and child health hospitals based on competency model.Methods Nurses from the Maternal and Child Health Department from January 2021 to November 2022,Children's Health Department,and Women's Health Department of Nanshan District Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as the survey subjects.The sample size is calculated based on 5-10 times the number of dimen-sions,and a total of 75 nursing staff are included as observation subjects in the above three departments.Each department selects 25 individuals and categorizes the Maternal and Child Health Department as Group A,the Child Health Department as Group B,and the Women's Health Department as Group C.Through semi-structured interviews,53 cases from the excellent group(with a comprehensive score ≥ 90 points)and 22 cases from the ordinary group(with a comprehensive score below 90 points)were se-lected.Compare the general information and competency scores of each group,compare the competency scores of different scoring groups,construct a competency model for the nursing recruitment indicator system,and analyze the effectiveness of the construc-ted recruitment indicator system in nursing recruitment from January 2022 to December 2023.Results There was no significant difference in general information between the groups(P＞0.05).The comparison of competency scores among different groups showed no significant difference(P＞0.05).The scores of basic nursing ability,health management,evidence-based practice,communication and exchange,professional cultural literacy,ethics and morality,disease assessment ability,and health education ability in the excellent group were higher than those in the ordinary group(P＜0.05).The recruitment index system constructed in 2023 has shown better results in nursing recruitment compared to 2022 without using it(P＜0.05).Conclusion The appli-cation effect of the competency model based nursing recruitment index system construction in maternal and child health care hospi-tals is good,which can effectively serve the nursing recruitment process and can be promoted and applied in recruitment.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty with the assistance of arterio-venous circuit.Methods From January 2015 to October 2022,a total 25 patients[19 females,6 males;age(61.60±9.00)years]were included,who were diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease and severe mitral stenosis.A transseptal puncture was performed to establish a femoral arterio-venous circuit,followed by graded dilation with Inoue balloon(diameters:22.00 mm to 28.00 mm).The target was a mitral valve area≥1.50 cm2 with mild or less regurgitation.Results The arterio-venous circuit was established,and mitral balloon valvuloplasty was successfully completed in all 25 patients.Among them,20 patients experienced difficulty with transvalvular crossing using the balloon catheter with conventional methods,16 patients had valvular severe calcification,and 3 patients presented with a left atrial appendage thrombus despite of more than 6-month anticoagulation therapy with warfarin.The mean balloon diameter was(25.00±1.40)mm.The mitral valve area increased from(0.91±0.15)cm2 preoperatively to(1.70±0.14)cm2 postoperatively(P＜0.001).Mean left atrial pressure decreased from(27.00±7.50)mmHg to(16.36±4.07)mmHg(P＜0.001),and mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased from(40.84±13.81)mmHg to(25.00±7.12)mmHg(P＜0.001).All patients showed significant symptom improvement with no complications.Conclusions Arterio-venous circuit for percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty is safe and feasible.This technique can serve as an alternative to standard technique for patients with complex mitral stenosis.

Objective:To optimize the previously established Improved Membrane Filtration(ISET)method for de-tecting circulating tumor cells(CTCs)and to develop and validate a new,reliable CTC detection method by combining it with immunofluorescence techniques.Methods:The study involved optimizing the CTC detection system using mixed samples of gastric cancer 803 cell lines and peripheral blood(PB)from healthy volunteers to simulate the peripheral blood of cancer patients.The optimized system was validated using peripheral blood samples from 23 patients with ad-vanced(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)cancer,employing the ISET technique combined with immunocytochemistry(ICC)and paraffin block im-munohistochemistry(IHC)identification techniques.A cohort of 74 patients with various cancer types was used to com-pare the diagnostic performance of the membrane filtration combined with immunofluorescence(ISET-ICC)system against the CTC-Biopsy and CellSearchTM methods.Results:By adding a red blood cell lysis step and increasing the membrane pore size to 10 μm,the filtration time of the ISET method was reduced by threefold.The ISET-ICC detection method achieved a CTC positivity rate of 65.2％.The combination of the ISET-ICC system with the cell paraffin block-IHC method enhanced the reliability of identifying circulating tumor cells undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT-CTCs).The ISET-ICC technique demonstrated a significantly higher CTC positivity rate(17.6％;13/74)within the study cohort compared to the CellSearchTM method,which showed a CTC positivity rate of 12.2％(9/74;x2=10.21,P=0.007).The difference in positive detection rates among patients at different stages was statistically significant(x2=3.64,P=0.029),with a notably higher CTC detection rate in stage Ⅳ patients compared to those in stages Ⅰ-Ⅲ(x2=6.76,P=0.001).Conclusion:The improved ISET-ICC system effectively detects CTCs across various cancer types and dem-onstrates greater accuracy compared to the CellSearchTM system.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of Brucellar myelitis and diagnosis and treatment of secondary neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and enhance the awareness of clinicians about this disease.Methods:A retrospective study was performed; 13 patients with Brucellar myelitis admitted to Department of Neurology, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2024 were chosen. Clinical data were collected, and MRI images and serological changes during the infection period were observed. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid demyelinating antibody markers and cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal bands (OCBs) in the suspected secondary inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system patients were detected. All patients received standard antibiotic treatment and/or individualized immunotherapy depending on disease severity. The patients were followed up for 24 (12, 42) months. At the last follow-up, the neurological outcomes were evaluated using modified Rankin scale (mRS, scores of 0-2: good prognosis; scores of 3-6: poor prognosis).Results:(1) Among the 13 patients, 12 had motor disorder, 9 had bladder/bowel dysfunction, 7 had sensory abnormality, and 4 had other symptoms such as dizziness, behavioral changes, or unsteady gait. (2) MRI results showed that 8 patients had spinal cord abnormalities, including 2 with long-segment intramedullary high signal at T2-weighted image and 6 with short-segment local intramedullary high signal at T2-weighted image. Enhanced MRI was performed in 11 patients, with 2 showing lesion enhancement, 3 showing meningeal enhancement, and 6 showing no enhancement. (3) Four patients had elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure (>180 mmH 2O); 9 patients had elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein level (>0.45 g/L). Brucella-specific DNA was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of 6 patients. One patient was positive for OCB type II. One patient was positive for aquaporin 4 antibody (AQP4-IgG) in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and one patient was double positive for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-IgG) and AQP4-IgG in serum. (4) All 13 patients received standard antibiotic treatment; 12 patients received immunotherapy. (5) Among the 4 patients with poor prognosis, 3 died and the remaining 9 had a good prognosis. The mRS score decreasing from 4 (3, 4) at admission to 2 (2, 3) at the last follow-up, showing an overall improvement in neurological function. (6) Among the 13 patients, 2 were diagnosed as having Brucellar myelitis secondary NMOSD. On the basis of antibiotic treatment, one AQP4-IgG positive patient was treated with high-dose glucocorticoids only and later died; one MOG-IgG and AQP4-IgG double positive patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin combined with high-dose glucocorticoids and sequential rituximab, with mRS score decreasing from 5 at admission to 2 at the last follow-up and good neurological function recovery. Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of Brucellar myelitis are diverse and overlap with the clinical features of NMOSD. For patients with suspected Brucellar myelitis secondary NMOSD, combination of immunosuppressant (such as rituximab) with antibiotics may be an effective individualized treatment.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA)is an opportunistic pathogen commonly involved in environmental-and difffcult-to-treat nosocomial infection.Currently,multidrug-resistant(MDR)and extensively drug-resistant(XDR)strains of PA are e-merging due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics,which has become a major threat related to healthcare.The antibiotics re-sistance mechanism of PA is very complicated.PA can acquire resistance through mutations in genes encoding for membrane-associated proteins,antibiotics inactivation enzymes and their regulatory proteins,antibiotics target proteins,and two-compo-nent systems.Additionally,resistance genes acquired by horizontal gene transfer(HGT)lead to resistance of PA,which are frequently localized within mobile genetic elements(MGEs),including genes encoding enzymes that inactivate and modify anti-biotics,proteins genes that protect and modify antibiotic targets.In this review,acquired resistance mechanisms of PA involved in gene mutations and HGT was summarized.This review would provide references for the prevention and treatment of PA in-fection,as well as the research and development of new antibiotics.
