OBJECTIVE To confirm trigger items for adverse drug reaction （ADR） induced by bevacizumab， to identify and analyze the occurrence of related ADR， and to establish a predictive model for severe adverse reaction （SAR） caused by this drug. METHODS Based on the global trigger tool （GTT） theory， and referencing the GTT White Paper， drug package inserts and relevant literature， trigger items for bevacizumab-related ADR were confirmed using a single-round Delphi method. Utilizing these established items， electronic medical records of relevant patients at Guilin People’s Hospital from January 2020 to September 2024 were actively screened via the China Hospital Pharmacovigilance System. Pharmacists then identified and tallied the occurrence of bevacizumab-induced ADR. Data from patients with any positive trigger item served as the study subjects （divided into training and test sets at a ratio of 7∶3）， candidate feature variables were selected from 39 related variables using the Boruta algorithm， and the multivariable Logistic regression analysis was performed with the occurrence of SAR as the dependent variable. Based on these candidate features， Logistic Regression， Extreme Gradient Boosting， Light Gradient Boosting Machine， Random Forest， and Categorical Boosting models were constructed. Model performance was evaluated using metrics including the area under the curve （AUC） of receiver operating characteristic curve and recall rate. The Shapley Additive exPlanations （SHAP） method was applied to analyze and interpret the contribution of each variable. A nomogram was constructed based on the optimal model. RESULTS A total of 38 trigger items for active monitoring of bevacizumab-related ADR were determined， comprising 17 laboratory indicators， 13 clinical manifestations， and 8 intervention measures. In total， 483 patients with positive trigger items were included， and 318 patients with bevacizumab-induced ADR were identified， including 83 SARs. The positive predictive values for the trigger items and cases were 43.57% （708/1 625） and 63.84% （318/483）， respectively. Bevacizumab-induced ADR involved 7 systems/organs， with the hematological system being the most frequently involved （64.15%）. The Boruta algorithm selected 7 vari ables： serum potassium， hematocrit， albumin-to-globulin ratio， prealbumin， hypertension history， age and red blood cell count. Multivariable Logistic regression showed that elevated serum potassium levels were associated with a decreased risk of bevacizumab-induced SAR （OR＝0.234， P ＝0.002）， while a history of hypertension （OR＝2.642， P ＝0.006） and increased age （OR＝1.040， P ＝0.025） were associated with an increased risk. The Logistic Regression model demonstrated superior performance with higher AUC， F1 score and recall rate （0.761， 0.447， 0.607）， compared to other models. SHAP evaluation results indicated that variables such as serum potassium， hematocrit， and age ranked highest in importance. CONCLUSIONS Totally 38 trigger entries have been successfully identified for active screening of bevacizumab-related ADR. Elevated serum potassium levels are a protective factor against bevacizumab-induced SAR， whereas the hypertension history and increased age are risk factors. The Logistic Regression model is the optimal predictive model.

Objective: To analyze the developmental trajectories of clustered health risk behaviors and their association with self-esteem and lonelinesss among junior high school students, so as to provide a reference for formulating comprehensive prevention and control measures of health risk behaviors among adolescents. Methods: In October 2023, 1 165 first year junior high school students from two schools of Jishou City in Hunan Province were selected by convenient sampling method for three follow up surveys (T1:October 2023; T2:April 2024; T3:October 2024). The Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self esteem Scale and Loneliness Scale were used to assess health risk behaviors, self esteem and loneliness, respectively. Latent growth curve modeling and latent growth mixture modeling were applied to analyze the developmental trajectories of clustered health risk behaviors among junior high school students. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of the developmental trajectories of clustered health risk behaviors with self esteem and loneliness among junior high school students. Results: The overall developmental trajectories among junior high school students showed a declining trend (intercept=0.15, slope=-1.65, both P <0.05), with three heterogeneous categories:low risk improvement group ( n =862, 74.0%), moderate risk stable group ( n =260, 22.3%), and high risk deterioration group ( n =43, 3.7%). After adjusting the status of the left behind individuals，using the low risk improvement group as the reference category in multinomial Logistic regression analysis, results indicated that higher loneliness scores among junior high school students increased the risks of belonging to the moderate risk stable group ( OR=1.02, 95%CI =1.00- 1.04 ) and the high risk deterioration group ( OR=1.04, 95%CI =1.00-1.08), while higher self esteem scores reduced the risks of belonging to the moderate risk stable group ( OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.91-0.96) and the high risk deterioration group ( OR=0.88, 95%CI =0.83-0.94) (all P <0.05). Conclusions The overall trend of clustered health risk behaviors among junior high school students gradually improves, and the self esteem and loneliness are significant correlative factors. Targeted intervention measures should be developed for the junior high school students, with a focus on enhancing their self esteem and alleviating loneliness.

Lung transplantation is a key therapeutic approach for patients with end-stage lung diseases. Although its clinical outcomes have significantly improved, multidimensional injuries sustained by donor lungs during procurement, preservation, and transplantation remain major challenges affecting graft survival and long-term prognosis. This article proposes the "Guangzhou Classification" for full-course management of donor lung injury, characterized by spatiotemporal dynamics. Based on the progression of disease stages, donor lung injuries are systematically divided into three types: primary injuries (including donor ICU-related lung injury, pathogen colonization, and cold ischemia injury), secondary injuries (such as ventilator-induced lung injury after transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion inflammatory storm, and early rejection), and accompanying injuries (organ toxicity caused by accumulation of postoperative sedatives, analgesics, and vasoactive drugs). Drawing on previous studies and the clinical experience of our center, this paper elaborates the temporal evolution, key risk factors, and prevention and treatment strategies of each injury category, and discusses future research directions. By targeting critical injury factors at each stage, this classification aims to optimize both short-term and long-term outcomes of lung transplantation.

Objective:To explore the predictive factors for extubation in the operating room after single lung transplantation without the assistance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in adult patients with end-stage interstitial lung disease (ILD), as well as their short-term (1-year postoperative) prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 78 adult ILD recipients who underwent single lung transplantation without ECMO assistance at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from June 2018 to June 2023. Based on whether extubation was completed in the operating room (OR), patients were divided into the OR group (19 cases) and ICU group (59 cases). Baseline characteristics of donors and recipients, as well as intraoperative events, were compared between the two groups. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential predictors, and variables with P<0.2 were included in multivariate logistic regression to determine independent predictors for OR extubation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate predictive performance. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival, and short-term prognosis between groups was compared. Results:The rate of OR extubation after single lung transplantation in ILD recipients was 24%(19/78). Compared with the ICU group, the OR group had shorter operation times, lower fluid volumes, reduced transfusions of red blood cells and plasma, less intraoperative bleeding, and lower lactate levels 15 minutes after pulmonary artery reperfusion (all P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis identified the following factors as significantly associated with OR extubation: recipient age ( P=0.100), operative time ( P=0.001), fluid infusion volume ( P=0.005), red blood cell transfusion volume ( P=0.037), plasma transfusion volume ( P=0.039), blood loss ( P=0.004), oxygenation index at 15 minutes after reperfusion ( P=0.174), and blood lactate at 15 minutes after reperfusion ( P=0.041). Multivariate analysis revealed that intraoperative blood loss was an independent predictor of OR extubation ( OR=0.993, 95% CI: 0.986 - 0.999, P=0.026). ROC curve analysis showed that blood loss had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.822 in predicting OR extubation, with a sensitivity of 64.4% and specificity of 89.5%. Postoperatively, patients in the OR group had significantly shorter durations of mechanical ventilation [0 vs 5 (3,11) days, P<0.001], ICU stay [7(4,8) vs 9(6,20) days, P=0.012], and overall postoperative hospitalization [19 (15,23) vs 25 (19,39) days, P=0.015]. Within one year after surgery, 2 patients (11%) in the OR group and 19 patients (32%) in the ICU group had died, but the difference in 1-year survival rates between the two groups was not statistically significant. Conclusions:Intraoperative blood loss is an independent predictor of extubation in the operating room. Early extubation in non-ECMO-assisted single lung transplantation for ILD patients is associated with improved short-term outcomes.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and dysregulated iron metabolism, plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. This review systematically summarizes the fundamental mechanisms of ferroptosis, the involvement of oxidative stress and ferroptosis in glaucoma, the relationship between ferroptosis and glaucomatous neurodegeneration, and the potential therapeutic strategies targeting ferroptosis in glaucoma. Studies have shown that ferroptosis-regulating factors play a crucial role in mitigating oxidative damage and preserving cellular function. However, the complexity of their regulatory mechanisms not only hinders a comprehensive understanding of their roles but also impedes clinical translation. Although ferroptosis inhibitors have demonstrated promising neuroprotective effects in animal models, their clinical application remains challenged by issues such as drug safety and target specificity. Therefore, the development of more targeted and low-toxicity therapeutic strategies is essential to advance personalized and precise treatment for glaucoma.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of recipients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who underwent second lung transplantation and summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic experience. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 14 patients who underwent first and second lung transplants for ILD at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024. The preoperative conditions, intraoperative events, postoperative treatments and prognoses of the first and second lung transplantation were compared, and the postoperative survival of ILD patients after the second lung transplantation was analyzed. Results Among the 14 recipients of the second lung transplant, 13 underwent the procedure due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction, and 1 due to airway complications. The median interval time from the first to the second lung transplant was 32 (2, 80) months. Before the second transplantation, 2 recipients required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, and 2 required endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The surgical time for the second lung transplantation was longer than that for the first, with increased intraoperative red blood cell and plasma transfusion volumes, the proportion of ECMO support during the second lung transplantation was higher than that during the first (all P<0.05). However, the cold ischemia time for one-sided lung transplant completion in the first lung transplant was similar to that in the second lung transplantation (P>0.05). The median follow-up time after the second lung transplantation was 32 (1, 63) months. The 1-month, 6-month and 1-year survival rates after the second lung transplantation were 79%, 57% and 50%, respectively, with causes of death being infection, multiple organ failure and gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusions For ILD patients undergoing second lung transplantation after the first lung transplantation, the second lung transplantation is more challenging, with longer surgical time and higher intraoperative blood loss. It requires higher surgical skills and perioperative management. Non-emergency second transplantation may still achieve good results.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a prevalent neurological disorder often resulting in significant disability or mortality. Resveratrol, extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc. (commonly known as Japanese knotweed), has been recognized for its potent neuroprotective properties. However, the neuroprotective efficacy of its derivative, (E)-4-(3,5-dimethoxystyryl) quinoline (RV02), against ischemic stroke remains inadequately explored. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of RV02 on neuronal ischemia-reperfusion injury both in vitro and in vivo. The research utilized an animal model of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion and SH-SY5Y cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion to simulate ischemic conditions. The findings demonstrate that RV02 attenuates neuronal mitochondrial damage and scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) through mitophagy activation. Furthermore, Parkin knockdown was found to abolish RV02's ability to activate mitophagy and neuroprotection in vitro. These results suggest that RV02 shows promise as a neuroprotective agent, with the activation of Parkin-mediated mitophagy potentially serving as the primary mechanism underlying its neuroprotective effects.

Conventional cancer therapies, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, often damage normal cells and may induce new tumors. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) selectively target tumor cells while sparing normal cells. Most OVs used in clinical trials have been genetically engineered to enhance their ability to target tumor cells and activate immune responses. To develop a specific OV-based approach for treating cervical cancer, this study constructed an oncolytic adenovirus that delivered a base editor targeting oncogenes to achieve efficient killing of tumor cells through inhibiting tumor growth and directly lysing tumor cells. We utilized the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter to drive the expression of adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) and successfully constructed the P-hTERT-E1A-GFP vector, which was validated for its activity in cervical cancer cells. Given the critical role of the MYC oncogene in the research of oncology, identifying efficient editing sites for the MYC oncogene is a key step in this study.Three MYC-targeting gRNAs were engineered and co-delivered with ABE8e base editor plasmids into HEK293T cells. Following puromycin selection, Sanger sequencing demonstrated differential editing efficiencies: MYC-1 (43%), MYC-2 (25%), and MYC-3 (35%), identifying MYC-1 as the most efficient editing locus. By constructing the P-ABEs-hTERT-E1A-GFP and P-MYC gRNA-hTERT-E1A-GFP vectors, we successfully packaged the virus and confirmed its specificity and efficacy. The experimental results demonstrate that this novel oncolytic adenovirus effectively inhibits the growth of HeLa cells in vitro, providing new experimental evidence and potential strategies for treating cervical cancer based on the HeLa cell model.
