Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C₀), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug‍-‍drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

OBJECTIVE: Recombination events are common and serve as the primary driving force of diverse human adenovirus (HAdV), particularly in children with acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs). Therefore, continual monitoring of these events is essential for effective viral surveillance and control. METHODS: Respiratory specimens were collected from children with ARIs between January 2022 and December 2023. The penton base, hexon, and fiber genes were amplified from HAdV-positive specimens and sequenced to determine the virus type. In cases with inconsistent typing results, genes were cloned into the pGEM-T vector to detect recombination events. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was performed to characterize the recombinant HAdV genomes. RESULTS: Among 6,771 specimens, 277 (4.09%, 277/6,771) were positvie for HAdV, of which 157 (56.68%, 157/277) were successfully typed, with HAdV-B3 being the dominant type (91.08%, 143/157), and 14 (5.05%, 14/277) exhibited inconsistent typing results, six of which belonged to species B. The penton base genes of these six specimens were classified as HAdV-B7, whereas their hexon and fiber genes were classified as HAdV-B3, resulting in a recombinant genotype designated P7H3F3, which closely resembled HAdV-B114. Additionally, a partial gene encoding L1 52/55 kD was identified, which originated from HAdV-B16. CONCLUSION A novel recombinant, P7H3F3, was identified, containing sequences derived from HAdV-B3 and HAdV-B7, which is similar to HAdV-B114, along with additional sequences from HAdV-B16.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the changes in thyroid hormone levels and inflammatory markers in critically ill children，analyze their correlation with disease severity，and explore their potential impact on prognosis,providing references for clinical management and prognosis assessment in critical illness.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 394 pediatric patients admitted to the ICU of the Capital Pediatric Institute Affiliated Children's Hospital from 2019 to 2023.Based on the pediatric critical illness score,patients were divided into three groups:the extremely critical group (score ≤ 70, n=81),the critical group (score 71–80, n=150),and the non-critical group (score>80, n=163).Data collected included thyroid function indicators，inflammatory markers[C-reactive protein（CRP)，procalcitonin(PCT),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α，interleukin (IL)，etc.]，clinical information，and outcomes.The correlation between thyroid function indicators and inflammatory markers were analyzed.The predictive value of thyroid function indicators and inflammatory markers for prognosis in critically ill pediatric patients was assessed. Results:Of the 394 children,non-thyroidal disease syndrome occurred in 321 cases,with an overall incidence of 81.5%,which increased with disease severity.Thyroid hormone [total triiodothyronine (TT3),free triiodothyronine (FT3),and total tetraiodothyronine (TT4)] levels were significantly lower in the extremely critical group than in the other groups ( P<0.05).Inflammatory markers such as CRP,PCT,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8,and IL-10 were significantly higher in the extremely critical group than in the other groups ( P<0.05).Thyroid hormones were negatively correlated with inflammatory markers,and the receivor operating characteristic curves analysis indicated that TT3,FT3,IL-6 and IL-8 levels,could effectively differentiate disease prognosis.Univariate regression model showed significant associations between TT3,FT3,TT4,PCT,IL-8,and IL-10 and disease prognosis.The multivariate Logistic regression model showed IL-6 and IL-8 were independent predictors of disease prognosis. Conclusion:Significant reductions in thyroid hormone levels are closely related to disease severity and poor prognosis.Changes in inflammatory markers reflect the inflammatory state and severity of the disease and impact prognosis.Monitoring thyroid function and inflammatory status is important in clinical management，which provids new insights into prognosis assessment and treatment strategies for critically ill children.

Objective:To observe the application effect of dexmedetomidine in brain tumor resection surgery.Methods:60 patients who underwent brain tumor resection surgery in our hospital from September 2023 to September 2024 were selected,the patients were randomly divided into reference group(conventional anesthesia,n=30)and experimental group(reference group combined with dexmedetomidine,n=30)used random number table method.Neuron specific enolase(NSE),blood glucose,hemodynamic indicators[mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)]between the two groups were compared,the recovery time,intraoperative opioid use,sedative level,extubation time,and occurrence of adverse reactions between the two groups were observed.Results:Compared with the time point of intubation(T1),MAP in the reference group decreased sequentially from the time point of beginning of surgery(T2)to the time point of skull drilling(T3)(P＜0.05).Compared with the end of surgery(T5),the MAP at time point of after returning to the intensive care unit(T6)in the reference group increased(P＜0.05).MAP in the experimental group decreased sequentially from the time point of before anesthesia induction(T0)to T2(P＜0.05).Compared with the time point of T5,MAP in the experimental group at time point of T6 increased(P＜0.05).MAP in the experimental group at time points of T1-T3 and T6 was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).HR in the reference group at time points of T0～T2 first increased and then decreased(P＜0.05),Compared with HR at time point of T5,HR at time point of T6 in the reference group increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the time point of T1,HR in the experimental group decreased first and then increased from the time point of T2 to T3(P＜0.05).Compared with HR at time point of T5,HR at time point of T6 in the experimental group increased(P＜0.05).HR in the experimental group at time points of T1 to after tumor resection(T4)and T6 were lower than those in the reference group(P＜0.05).NSE levels increased in both groups at time points of T5,but the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Compared with the blood glucose at time point of T0 in the same group,the blood glucose at time point of T5 in the reference group increased,while the blood glucose at time point of T5 in the experimental group decreased,and the blood glucose at time point of T5 in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the recovery time,extubation time,and postoperative Ramsay score between the two groups(P＞0.05),but the dosage of remifentanil in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).The overall incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The application of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing brain tumor resection surgery can stabilize the hemodynamics of patients,inhibit the stress response,and significantly reduce the dosage of remifentanil and the risk of adverse reactions.It has good sedative effect and safety.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect and possible related mechanisms of Sophora subprostrate polysaccharide(SSP)on intestinal epithelial cell injury in-duced by Tert-Butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP).The optimal dose of TBHP and the safe concentra-tion range of SSP were determined using the MTT method.In this study,IPEC-J2 cells were divid-ed into five groups:the control group,the model group,the SSPL group,the SSPM group and the SSPH group,and the cell morphology,cell survival rate and LDH release rate were observed and measured.The content of intracellular reactive ROS was observed and determined by DCFH-DA staining.The content of MDA in the supernatant and the antioxidant index of cells were determined by the reagent kit.Transcriptome technology was employed to analyze the potential mechanisms by which SSP mitigates oxidative damage in IPEC-J2 cells.The results showed that treatment with 625 μmol/L TBHP for 2 h significantly reduced the activity of IPEC-J2 cells,markedly increased LDH release(P＜0.05),inhibited CAT superoxide SOD and glutathione GPX activities(P＜0.05),and significantly elevated MDA and ROS levels(P＜0.05).Compared to the model group,after SSP treatment,intracellular ROS levels were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),while CAT,SOD,and GPX activities were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and MDA content and LDH re-lease were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.Transcriptome analysis revealed that TBHP treatment significantly altered the transcriptional profiles of IPEC-J2 cells,while SSP treatment could restore the transcriptional profiles of the damaged cells to a certain ex-tent.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)indicated that the differentially expressed genes between the CC and TBHP groups were significantly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ribosome,and other pathways.Meanwhile,the differentially expressed genes between the SSP and TBHP groups were mainly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ap-optosis,glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism,and other pathways.These results suggest that TBHP may disrupt normal oxidative respiration in IPEC-J2 cells by affecting oxidative phospho-rylation and interfering with metabolism pathways involving glycine,serine,and threonine,leading to oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells.Conversely,SSP treatment may potentially restore oxidative phosphorylation processes,alleviate lysosomal damage,reduce cell apoptosis,and miti-gate oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells through modulation of oxidative phosphoryla-tion,apoptosis,and lysosomal pathways.This discovery provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of SSP in alleviating oxidative damage in the porcine intestinal tract.
