OBJECTIVE To provide references for ensuring the safety of prescription preparation， dispensing， and use of parenteral nutrition solution， as well as for expanding the scope of pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists in the Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services （PIVAS）. METHODS Under the guidance of PIVAS pharmacists， the rules for reviewing medical orders of parenteral nutrition in the PIVAS system and the information displayed on the infusion labels of finished parenteral nutrition solutions were refined. The process management of dispensing parenteral nutrition solution was strengthened， and detailed quality control and inspection rules were formulated. Additionally， Clinical Safety Monitoring Form for Finished Parenteral Nutrition Infusions was designed to conduct clinical monitoring and inspections for abnormalities in the finished infusions， infusion operations， and complications that may arise during the use of finished parenteral nutrition infusions. The implementation effects of the aforementioned optimization/inspection measures were evaluated by comparing data on the efficiency of medical order review for parenteral nutrition， the rate of irrational medical orders， the compliance rate of vascular access selection and infusion rate standardization， the rate of dispensing error， as well as the abnormalities occurring during clinical use， before and after the optimization/inspection initiatives were put into place. RESULTS The optimized prescription review system achieved automatic review of medical orders for parenteral nutrition， enhancing the efficiency of order review. The average time taken to review one parenteral nutrition medical order was reduced from approximately 1 minute to 10 seconds. The irrational rate of parenteral nutrition orders decreased by 31.87%. The dispensing error rate of parenteral nutrition decreased by 56.55%. The standard rate of vascular access selection and standard rate of infusion speed were increased by 13.29% and 3.54%， respectively. The PIVAS pharmacists identified and intervened in 5 abnormal cases out of 298 cases examined for use of parenteral nutrition solutions. CONCLUSIONS By optimizing the prescription review system， improving labeling information， and strengthening quality control inspections during both preparation and administration processes， PIVAS pharmacists have enhanced the safety of compounded parenteral nutrition solutions. This initiative has expanded the scope and depth of pharmaceutical care provided by dispensing pharmacists.

Objective : To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatial clustering of brucellosis in Shanxi Province from 2019 to 2023, so as to provide a reference for formulating prevention and control measures of brucellosis. Methods: The case data of brucellosis in Shanxi Province from 2019 to 2023 were collected through the Infectious Disease Surveillance System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The seasonal distribution, population distribution, and region distribution of brucellosis cases were described. Spatial autocorrelation analysis was applied to explore the spatial clustering characteristics of brucellosis. Results: A total of 21 241 human brucellosis cases were reported in Shanxi Province from 2019 to 2023, with an average annual reported incidence of 11.87/100 000, showing an upward trend (P<0.05). The peak incidence period was from March to August, with 14 163 cases reported cumulatively, accounting for 66.68% of the total. There were 16 336 male cases and 4 905 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.33:1. The high-incidence age group was 40-<70 years, with 15 675 cases accounting for 73.80%. The majority of patients were farmers, with 17 926 cases accounting for 84.39%. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that there was spatial clustering in the incidence of brucellosis from 2019 to 2023 (all Moran's I>0, P<0.05). The high-high clustering areas were mainly Datong City, and Shuozhou City in northern Shanxi, and Linfen City in the southern Shanxi. The low-low clustering areas were mainly Taiyuan City and Yangquan City in central Shanxi, and Changzhi City and Jincheng City in southeastern Shanxi. Conclusions From 2019 to 2023, the reported incidence of brucellosis in Shanxi Province showed an upward trend. The incidence peaked from March to August, and males, middle-aged and elderly people and farmers were the high-risk groups. There was spatial clustering and the high-high clustering areas gradually expanded from northern Shanxi to southern Shanxi.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of early removal of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) in the treatment of pancreatic wall-off necrosis (WON).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 51 patients with WON who underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transluminal drainage (ETD) and direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) using LAMS at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022. Patients were divided into the early removal group (within two weeks, n=24) and the traditional removal group (after two weeks, n=27) based on the timing of LAMS removal. The short-term effects, safety and long-term outcomes of WON were compared between the two groups. Results:The technical success rate of LAMS placement in 51 patients reached 100%, and all patients underwent ETD and DEN. The median number of necrosectomy sessions in the early removal group was significantly lower than in the traditional removal group, 2.0 sessions vs 3.0 sessions and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Postoperatively, 15.7% of patients required percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) and 5.9% required surgery, with no significant difference between the two groups. The clinical success rate and mortality rate in the early removal group were 79.2% and 8.3%, respectively, compared to 81.5% and 3.7% in the traditional removal group, with no statistically significant difference. In terms of safety, the early removal group exhibited a significantly lower rate of adverse events during stent retention with statistically significant difference (12.5% vs 37.0%, P<0.05) compared to the traditional removal group. A total of 46 patients were followed up for six months. In the early removal group, the rates of disease recurrence, need for endoscopic reintervention and occurrence of long-term complications were 20.0%, 10.0% and 20.0%, respectively. These rates did not show a significant increase compared to the traditional removal group, which were 7.7%, 3.8% and 38.5%, respectively, without significant differences between the groups. Conclusions:In the treatment of WON, early removal of LAMS is safe and effective to a certain extent. In comparison to the traditional practice of removing LAMS after two weeks, early removal does not reduce clinical success rates, nor does it increase the rates of disease-related mortality, recurrence, or long-term complications. On the contrary, it may reduce the occurrence of adverse events during stent retention and decrease the number of necrosectomy procedures subsequently.

Objective To investigate the satisfaction of patients with Crowe Ⅲ-Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH)after total hip arthroplasty and the related factors.Methods A retrospective study included 169 patients with Crowe type Ⅲ-Ⅳ DDH who underwent total hip arthroplasty between March 2013 and March 2018.Patients were surveyed through WeChat,covering overall satisfaction with the operation,satisfaction with ten daily functions,and the top five questions per-ceived to have a great impact on daily life.Preoperative and postoperative hip function was evaluated by Harris score.Results One hundred and forty-five questionnaires were received,with a follow-up period ranging from 1 to 5 years with an average of(3.23±1.22)years.Among these patients,118 patients were satisfied with the surgical outcomes,while 27 patients were dissat-isfied,with the overall satisfaction rate of 81.38％(118/145).The top five problems affecting patient life were postoperative hip pain,limb length discrepancy,walking,stair climbing,and squatting.There were no statistical differences in age,sex,body mass index,preoperative Harris scores(P＞0.05).However,the dissatisfied group had lower postoperative Harris scores.Post-operative hip pain and limb length discrepancy were identified as direct factors contributing to postoperative surgical dissatis-faction.Conclusion Total hip arthroplasty for patients with Crowe type Ⅲ-Ⅳ DDH is challenging.Postoperative hip pain(mild or severe)and limb length discrepancy(＞2 cm)are independent risk factors for postoperative dissatisfaction.

Objective To explore medium and long term efficacy of oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF)in treating lumbar specific infection.Methods From October 2017 to January 2021,24 patients with lumbar specific infection were treated by OLIF combined with vertebral screw internal fixation,including 15 males and 9 females,aged from 27 to 61 years old with an average of(43.0±15.0)years old;the courses of disease ranged from 6 to 24 months with an average of(14.0±7.0)months;7 patients with L2-L3,12 patients with L3-L4 and 5 patients with L4-L5;19 patients with tuberculosis infection and 5 patients with brucella infection.The amount of intraoperative blood loss,operative time and complications were recorded,and erythro-cyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reactive protein(CRP),visual analogue scale(VAS),Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score and American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)rating were compared before and one month after opertaion.Re-sults All patients were followed up from 9 to 24 months with an average of(13.0±6.0)months.Operative time was(132.5±21.4)min,and intraoperative blood loss was(227.3±43.1)ml.ESR and CRP were decreased from(82.34±18.62)mmol·h-1 and(53.08±21.84)mg·L-1 before operation to(33.52±17.31)mmol·h-1 and(15.48±8.36)mg·L-1 at one month after opera-tion,respectively(P＜0.05).VAS was decreased from(7.52±1.36)before opertaion to(1.74±0.87)at one month after opera-tion(P＜0.05).JOA was increased from(17.86±3.95)before operation to(24.72±3.19)at one month after operation(P＜0.05).Four patients had neurological symptoms before operation,and were classified to grade D according to ASIA classifica-tion,who were recovered to grade E at 1 month after operation.One patient was suffered from psoas major muscle injury after operation,and returned to normal at 3 weeks.One patient was suffered from abdominal distension and difficulty in defecation,and relieved after gastrointestinal decompression and enema.No complications such as abdominal organ injury and poor wound healing occurred in all patients.Conclusion OLIF combined with vertebral screw internal fixation is a new minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of lumbar specific infection,especially the lesion located on the middle lumbar vertebra.It has advantages of less trauma,short operation time,less blood loss,convenient operation,complete removal of the lesion,safety and effectiveness,and has good medium-and long-term efficacy for lumbar specific infection.

Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)is the main treatment for coronary heart disease.Despite the continuous development of drug-eluting stent(DES)technology,about 10％of patients still develop in-stent restenosis(ISR)after second-generation DES implantation.ISR is characterized by progressive lumen stenosis within the stent,which is the result of PCI-induced mechanical damage to the arterial wall of the target segment.The pathophysiological mechanism of ISR is not well understood,but it is currently thought that vascular inflammation,platelet activation,vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)proliferation and migration,and extracellular matrix remodeling are responsible for neointimal hyperplasia leading to arterial lumen re-stenosis,resulting in the occurrence and evolution of ISR.Therefore,this review explored the molecular pathological mechanism of ISR under epigenetic regulation after PCI,and found more precise and effective targets to prevent the occurrence and development of ISR in order to inhibit the proliferation and migration of VSMCs without affecting the reendothelialization of vascular intima and endothelialization.

Objective To investigate the impact of ultra-low dose CT(ULDCT)scanning combined with deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)on quantitative analysis of pulmonary nodules using computer aided diagnostic system(CAD).Methods Fifty-six further consultation patients with pulmonary nodules were prospectively enrolled.ULDCT and standard-dose CT(SDCT)were performed.The raw ULDCT images were reconstructed using adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V40%(ASIR-V40%)and high-strength DLIR(DLIR-H)to obtain ULDCT-ASIR-V40%(group A)and ULDCT-DLIR-H(group B)images,while SDCT images were reconstructed with ASIR-V40%to obtain SDCT-ASIR-V40%(group C)images.Pulmonary nodules with long diameter of 4-30 mm were selected as the target nodules based on reconstructed images.The nodules were divided into solid nodules,calcified nodules and non-solid nodules by 2 physicians.CAD software was used to evaluate the classification of nodules based on 3 groups of images,and the long diameter,transverse diameter,density,volume and malignant risk were quantitatively analyzed.Results Totally 104 target nodules were selected,including 51 solid nodules,26 calcified nodules and 27 non-solid nodules according to physicians.CAD classified 53 solid,24 calcified and 27 non-solid nodules based on group A and B,while based on group C,CAD classification was consistent with that of physicians'.Compared with group C,the density of solid and calcified nodules,the volume and malignant risk of non-solid nodules judged by CAD in group A decreased,so did the density of calcified nodules in group B(all P＜0.05).No significant difference of the other CAD quantitative parameters of nodules was found among 3 groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion ULDCT scanning combined with DLIR might underestimate the density of calcified pulmonary nodules judged by CAD,but had no significant impact on the other CAD quantitative parameters.

Objective To examine the changing antimicrobial resistance profile of Enterobacter spp.isolates in 53 hospitals across China from 2015 t0 2021.Methods The clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp.were collected from 53 hospitals across China during 2015-2021 and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using Kirby-Bauer method or automated testing systems according to the CHINET unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints issued by the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021(M100 31st edition)and analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software.Results A total of 37 966 Enterobacter strains were isolated from 2015 to 2021.The proportion of Enterobacter isolates among all clinical isolates showed a fluctuating trend over the 7-year period,overall 2.5％in all clinical isolates amd 5.7％in Enterobacterale strains.The most frequently isolated Enterobacter species was Enterobacter cloacae,accounting for 93.7％(35 571/37 966).The strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.4±4.6)％,followed by secretions/pus(16.4±2.3)％and urine(16.0±0.9)％.The strains from respiratory samples decreased slightly,while those from sterile body fluids increased over the 7-year period.The Enterobacter strains were mainly isolated from inpatients(92.9％),and only(7.1±0.8)％of the strains were isolated from outpatients and emergency patients.The patients in surgical wards contributed the highest number of isolates(24.4±2.9)％compared to the inpatients in any other departement.Overall,≤ 7.9％of the E.cloacae strains were resistant to amikacin,tigecycline,polymyxin B,imipenem or meropenem,while ≤5.6％of the Enterobacter asburiae strains were resistant to these antimicrobial agents.E.asburiae showed higher resistance rate to polymyxin B than E.cloacae(19.7％vs 3.9％).Overall,≤8.1％of the Enterobacter gergoviae strains were resistant to tigecycline,amikacin,meropenem,or imipenem,while 10.5％of these strains were resistant to polycolistin B.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter was 10.0％over the 7-year period,but showing an upward trend.The resistance profiles of Enterobacter isolates varied with the department from which they were isolated and whether the patient is an adult or a child.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.cloacae was the highest in the E.cloacae isolates from ICU patients.Conclusions The results of the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program indicate that the proportion of Enterobacter strains in all clinical isolates fluctuates slightly over the 7-year period from 2015 to 2021.The Enterobacter strains showed increasing resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs,especially carbapenems over the 7-year period.

Objective:To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of HMGB1-TLR4-IL-23-IL-17A axis in se-rum of patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Methods:The expression levels of HMGB1,TLR4,IL-23 and IL-17A in serum of 60 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 30 healthy volunteers were detected by ELISA.In addition,the differences of cytokines expression levels between moderate and severe psoriasis patients were compared,and the correlation between the expression levels of cytokines and the disease severity expressed by psoriasis area and severity index(PASI)were analyzed.The differences of expression levels of HMGB1-TLR4-IL-23-IL-17A axis before and after IL-17A inhibitor induction treatment were detected and compared in 22 moderate to severe psoriasis patients reached PASI75 and higher level.Results:The expression levels of serum HMGB1,TLR4,IL-23 and IL-17A in patients with psoriasis were obviously higher than those of healthy controls.Moreover,the expression levels of serum HMGB1,TLR4,IL-23 and IL-17A were even elevated in severe patients compared with moderate patients,and were positively correlated with PASI score.After induction treatment of IL-17A inhibitor,the expression levels of HMGB1-TLR4-IL-23-IL-17A aixs decreased significantly in serum of patients with psoriasis.Conclusion:HMGB1-TLR4-IL-23-IL-17A axis is highly expressed in patients with psoriasis vulgaris,and positively related to the disease severity,which may be involved in the disease process of psoriasis vulgaris and provide a new idea for the immunotherapy of psoriasis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of Venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen in treatment of patients with refractory/relapse acute myeloid leukemia(R/R AML).Methods:The study was a singlecenter prospective clinical trial.The enrolled patients met the criteria for R/R AML.Treatment included Azacidine(75mg/m2,d1-7),Ara-C(75-100 mg/m2,q12h,d1-5),Aclacinomycin(20 mg d1,d3,d5),Chidamide(30 mg d1,d4),Venetoclax(100 mg d1,200 mg d2,400 mg d3-d14,in combination with Triazole Drug,reduced to 100 mg/d),and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(300 μg/d until neutrophil recovery).The primary endpoint of observation was overall response rate after 1 course of treatment.Results:A total of 19 patients were enrolled from January 2022 to April 2023.After 1 course of treatmen,the overall response rate was 81.3％(13/16),the CR rate was 68.8％(11/16),and the PR was 12.5％(2/16).Among the 11 patients who got CR/CRi,8 cases achieved CRm(minimal residual disease negative CR)and 3 cases did not.As of March 27,2023,the median follow-up time was 111(19-406)days.The six-month overall survival and progression-free survival rates were both 55.7％,the 1-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 46.4％and 47.7％,respectively.In addition,compared with the non-CRm group,CRm patients had a better PFS(377 days vsi11 days,P=0.046).Treatment-related adverse events were mainly 3-4 degrees of bone marrow suppression,complicated by various degrees of infection(n=12),hypokalemia(n=12)and hypocalcemia(n=10)and elevated liver enzymes(n=8),of which 3/4 degrees accounted for 47.4％(9/19).Conclusion:The Venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen is an effective salvage therapy for patients with R/R AML,with high remission rate and safety profile.
