Objective To examine the compliance of and factors affecting target attainment of serum trough concentration of norvancomycin in ICU patients,and the effects of different trough concentrations on clinical efficacy and renal impairment.Methods Adult patients admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Huangshan People's Hospital and receiving intravenous infusion of norvancomycin from January 2020 to December 2022 were included.The dosing regimens and steady-state trough concentrations of norvancomycin were analyzed.The clinical efficacy and renal impairment were compared between different trough concentration levels.The compliance of trough concentration in critically ill patients with different renal functions was examined.Logistic regression analysis was performed to profile the factors possibly affecting the trough concentration of norvancomycin.Results A total of 97 patients were included.The target serum trough concentration(10-20 mg/L)was reached in only 33.0%(32/97)of the critically ill patients.The serum trough concentration was below the target in 51.5%(50/97)of the patients,above the target in 15.5%of the patients.The clinical cure rate and incidence of renal impairment were significantly different among the three groups of patients with different trough concentrations(P<0.05).The compliance with target serum trough concentration varied with different renal function tests(P<0.05).Augmented renal clearance and normal renal function were associated with trough concentrations lower than the target.As renal dysfunction got worse,serum trough concentration was more probably higher than the target(P<0.05).Univariate analysis showed that daily dose,age,gender,height,weight,body mass index(BMI),APACHE Ⅱ score,sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score,blood creatinine,urea nitrogen,procalcitonin,concomitant septic shock,and use of norepinephrine were significantly correlated with trough concentrations of norvancomycin(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age,SOFA score,blood urea nitrogen,gender,and norepinephrine use were independent factors affecting the serum trough concentration of norvancomycin(P<0.05).Conclusions The serum trough concentration of norvancomycin varied with renal function states in ICU patients.It is difficult to achieve the steady-state target trough concentration(10-20 mg/L).The clinical cure rate is lower when the trough concentration is lower than the target.As the trough concentration increases,the incidence of renal impairment increases.Age,SOFA score,urea nitrogen,gender,and norepinephrine use are independent factors affecting the serum trough concentrations of norvancomycin.

Objective:To explore the predictive effect of European treatment and outcome study long term survival (ELTS) score on survival outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia of chronic phase (CML-CP) children.Methods:A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 216 children with CML-CP in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2010 to December 2023 were analyzed. Children were divided into low, intermediate and high-risk groups according to ELTS score. The survival outcomes and prognostic factors were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test were used for survival analysis.Cox regression model was applied for analysis of prognostic factors.Results:Among the 216 children with CML-CP, there were 122 males and 94 females, with the diagnosis age of 11.0 (8.0, 14.7) years. The follow-up time was 77 (57, 99) months. According to ELTS score, 145, 52, and 19 children were classified as low, intermediate and high-risk group. For the low-risk and intermediate/high-risk groups, the 6-year failure-free survival (FFS) rates were (83.0±3.1)% and (64.6±5.7)%, the 6-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were (91.4±2.3)% and (78.7±4.8)%, and the 6-year event-free survival (EFS) rates were (80.8±3.3)% and (64.2±5.7)%, with statistically significant difference ( χ2=9.45, 7.16, 7.40, P=0.002, 0.007, 0.007), respectively.The 6-year overall survival (OS) rates were (98.5±1.0)% and (95.6±2.4)%, without statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.35, P=0.550). Multivariate analysis showed that ELTS score was an independent prognostic factor or tendency for FFS ( HR=1.97, 95% CI 1.11-3.49), PFS ( HR=2.95, 95% CI 1.18-7.39), and no independent prognostic factor for EFS and OS were found. Conclusions:ELTS score at diagnosis can help stratify the risk of children with CML-CP. The children in intermediate/high-risk group are more likely to have treatment failure, disease progression than those in low-risk group, but the predictive ability of ELTS score for OS is limited.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of children with chronic myeloid leukemia in the blast phase (CML-BP) .Methods:The clinical characteristics, treatment measures, and survival outcomes of 28 children with CML-BP were analyzed in our hospital from January 2008 to November 2022.Results:The male to female ratio of the 28 children with CML-BP was 1.15∶1. The median age of diagnosis of CML-BP was 10 years, and the median follow-up time was 79 months. During the diagnosis of CML, four children were in the BP, one was in the accelerated phase (AP) and 23 children were in the chronic phase (CP). Among the 23 children with CML-CP, 75% had progressed directly from CP to BP without experiencing the AP. Among the children diagnosed with CML-BP, 71.4% were classified as chronic myeloid leukemia lymphoid blast phase (CML-LBP), 25.0% belonged to the chronic myeloid leukemia myeloid blast phase (CML-MBP), and 3.6% belonged to the chronic myeloid leukemia mixed phenotype acute leukemia (CML-MPAL). Treatment with hemaopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after tyosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combined with chemotherapy was administered to 19 children, two children received HSCT after TKI alone, and seven children received TKI combined with chemotherapy but without HSCT. The 5-year overall survival of the 28 children with CML-BP was 59.3%.Conclusion:The direct progression of BP from CP is greater in children with CML-BP compared with adults, and the overall prognosis of children with CML-BP is poor.

ObjectiveTo observe the lower limb muscle activation strategy of healthy middle-aged and old women during stair ascent and descent with surface electromyography. MethodsFrom August, 2021 to February, 2022, 20 healthy middle-aged and old women were measured the surface electromyography root mean square (RMS) and integrated electromyography (iEMG) of bilateral vastus lateral, rectus femoris, vastus medialis, biceps femoris and semitendinosus during stair ascent and descent, and co-contraction ratio was calculated. ResultsDuring stair ascent, the RMS of bilateral vastus lateral, rectus femoris and vastus medialis was higher at starting stage than at following stage (|t| > 6.650, P < 0.001), while the RMS of biceps femoris and semitendinosus was lower (t > 3.559, P < 0.01); and the co-contraction ratio of hamstrings/quadriceps was lower at starting stage than at following stage (t > 8.185, P < 0.001). During stair descent, the RMS of bilateral vastus lateral, vastus medialis, biceps femoris and semitendinosus was higher at following stage than at starting stage (t > 2.345, P < 0.05), as well as the co-contraction ratio of hamstrings/quadriceps (t > 2.405, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe activities of the muscles around the knees are almost symmetrical during stair ascent and descent for healthy middle-aged and old women. The activation and co-contraction ratio of quadriceps and hamstring are various at starting/following stages.
6.Progress on the effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on the growth and development of children with chronic myeloid leukemia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2023;50(9):600-603
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI), the first-line treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia(CML), can achieve long-term survival for CML patients.For TKI therapy in children with CML, the pediatricians should not only consider the same adverse reactions as adults, but also pay attention to its impact on children′s height and gonads.At present, multiple studies abroad have found that the use of imatinib can delay the growth and development of children with CML.However, the experience of dasatinib and nilotinib in children with CML is still lacking, and there are few relevant research reports, and their impact on the growth and development of children is still unclear.This article reviews the research progress on the mechanism, clinical research data, and treatment of growth and development disturbances of children with CML treated with TKIs.

Objective:To study the relationship and the role of leptin in children with biliary atresia and hepatic fibrosis to provide a treatment basis for these patients.Methods:The clinical data of children with biliary atresia or congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of General Surgery of Tianjin Children's Hospital from August 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 31 children included in this study, there were 14 males and 17 females, with age of 60 (30, 63) d. Children with biliary atresia served as the study group ( n=26) and children with CBD served as the control group ( n=5). Leptin protein, α-smooth muscleactin (α-SMA) and phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2) in liver tissues were detectd by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expression level of leptin mRNA in liver tissues were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results:The average optical density values of leptin protein, α-SMA protein and p-ERK1/2 protein in the liver tissues of children in the study group were significantly higher than the control group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of leptin, α-SMA and p-ERK1/2 in liver tissues of children with biliary atresia significantly increased with increase in fibrosis degree ( P<0.05). The expression level of leptin in liver tissues of children with biliary atresia was positively correlated with the liver fibrosis grade ( rs=0.876), α-SMA ( r=0.723) and p-ERK1/2 ( r=0.725) ( P<0.01). The results of qRT-PCR showed that the content of leptin mRNA in liver tissues of children with biliary atresia was significantly higher than that of children with CBD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Expressions of leptin increased with aggravation of degrees of hepatic fibrosis in biliary atresia. Leptin may be involved in activation of HSCs through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway in the process of hepatic fibrosis due to biliary atresia.

Algae are a large group of photosynthetic organisms responsible for approximately half of the earth's total photosynthesis. In addition to their fundamental ecological roles as oxygen producers and as the food base for almost all aquatic life, algae are also a rich source of bioactive natural products, including several clinical drugs. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are a superfamily of biocatalysts that are extensively involved in natural product biosynthesis by mediating various types of reactions. In the post-genome era, a growing number of P450 genes have been discovered from algae, indicating their important roles in algal life-cycle. However, the functional studies of algal P450s remain limited. Benefitting from the recent technical advances in algae cultivation and genetic manipulation, the researches on P450s in algal natural product biosynthesis have been approaching to a new stage. Moreover, some photoautotrophic algae have been developed into "photo-bioreactors" for heterologous P450s to produce high-value added pharmaceuticals and chemicals in a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative manner. Here, we comprehensively review these advances of P450 studies in algae from 2000 to 2021.

Objective:
To investigate the positive rate for 2019-nCoV tests and co-infections in Wuhan district.
Methods:
A total of 8 274 cases in Wuhan were enrolled in this cross-sectional study during January 20 to February 9, 2020, and were tested for 2019-nCoV using fluorescence quantitative PCR. Both respiratory tract samples (nasopharynx, oropharynx, sputum and alveolar lavage fluid) and non-respiratory tract samples (urine, feces, anal swabs, blood and conjunctival sac swabs) were collected. If both orf1ab and N genes are positive, they are classified as nucleic acid test positive group; if both orf1ab and N genes are negative, they are classified as negative group; if single gene target is positive, they are classified as suspicious group. Individuals were divided into male group and female group according to sex. At the same time, 316 patients were tested for 13 respiratory pathogens by multiplex PCR.
Results:
Among the 8 274 subjects, 2 745 (33.2%) were 2019-nCoV infected; 5 277 (63.8%) subjects showed negative results in the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid test; and 252 cases (3.05%) was not definitive (inconclusive result). The age of cases with COVID-19 patients and inconclusive cases was significantly higher than that of cases without 2019-nCoV infection (40 vs 56,

Objective:To evaluate the effect of imatinib on growth impairment in children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP) in the chronic phase.Methods:From July 2018 to July 2019, questionnaires were distributed to CML children aged <18 years at the time of diagnosis who were receiving imatinib for at least 3 months or to their parents in China. The height-for-age standard deviation score (HtSDS) and the difference of standard deviation integral (△HtSDS) were used to explore the change in height with imatinib therapy.Results:The data of 238 respondents were included; 138 (58.0% ) respondents were men. The median age at the first diagnosis of CML was 11.0 years (range, 1.4-17.9 years) , and 93 (39.0% ) respondents were at the prepuberty stage. At the time of completing the questionnaires, the median age was 15.0 years (range, 2.0-34.0 years) . The median duration of imatinib therapy was 28 months (range, 3-213 months) . Among all the respondents, the mean HtSDS when completing the questionnaires (-0.063±1.361) was significantly lower than that at the time of starting imatinib treatment (0.391±1.244) ( P<0.001) . Total 71.0% respondents showed growth impairment that was more common in those starting imatinib therapy at prepubertal age than in those starting at pubertal age. Multivariate analysis showed that younger at the start of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) and longer duration of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) were significantly associated with severe growth impairment on imatinib therapy. Conclusions:Imatinib induced growth impairment in children with CML-CP. Younger the age of initiation and longer the duration of imatinib therapy, more obvious the effect of imatinib on growth impairment.
