OBJECTIVE To analyze the influencing factors for achieving target plasma drug concentration （trough） （abbreviated as “PDC”） of vancomycin in patients from high-altitude regions and establish a predictive model for PDC using single- center data， providing references for rational clinical drug use. METHODS Inpatients with vancomycin （1 g， q12 h） administered intravenously in our hospital from January 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively included. Demographic data， liver and kidney function and hematological indexes were collected. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between vancomycin PDC and each detection index. Univariate analysis was used to evaluate the differences of each index in patients with different PDC， and the effects of different gender， body mass index， age and underlying diseases （hypertension/diabetes） on vancomycin PDC. Based on the results of correlation analysis and univariate analysis， multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to obtain the independent predictors of vancomycin PDC and construct the prediction model. RESULTS A total of 141 patients were included， with an overall attainment rate of 46.81% for the target PDC of vancomycin. Correlation analysis showed that the vancomycin PDC was positively correlated with age， blood urea nitrogen， uric acid （UA）， serum creatinine （CRE） and β2- microglobulin （β2-MG）， and negatively correlated with height， weight， creatinine clearance rate （CCR）， glomerular filtration rate （GFR）， alanine transaminase （ALT）， hemoglobin （HGB）， white blood cell count and neutrophils （P＜0.05）. There were significant differences in age， CRE and other 14 indexes among different PDC groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Age and underlying diseases had significant effects on vancomycin PDC （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CCR， direct bilirubin （DBil）， β2-MG， UA， HGB and height （standardized coefficients were －0.371， 0.367， 0.169， 0.232， －0.140， －0.132； P＜0.05） were independent predictors of vancomycin PDC. The F value of the regression equation was 34.858 （P＜0.05）， the R2 was 0.610， and the adjusted R2 was 0.592. CONCLUSIONS The vancomycin PDC of patients in high-altitude regions is affected by multiple factors such as renal function， liver function and hematological indexes. CCR， HGB and height could be used to predict vancomycin PDC negatively， while DBil， β2-MG and UA could be used to predict vancomycin PDC positively. The variables of the established prediction model could explain 59.2% of the variation of vancomycin PDC.

Meropenem （MEM） is one of the important drugs for the treatment of severe infections， but the standard dose is often difficult to achieve an effective therapeutic concentration target. This article reviews the related studies on the population pharmacokinetics of MEM in patients with severe infection. It is found that the apparent volume of distribution （Vd） and clearance rate are the most important factors affecting the dose adjustment， and the factors affecting Vd include serum albumin， age， overall weight， shock status， and chest/abdomen/cerebrospinal fluid drainage. The main factors affecting the clearance rate were renal function， renal replacement therapy treatment mode and combination therapy. For adult patients with severe infections in China， MEM is recommended to be administered in an individualized manner based on glomerular filtration rate， with a dosage range of 500 to 1 500 mg given every 4 to 6 hours， and prolonged infusion is preferred. When the minimum inhibitory concentration （MIC） of the pathogenic bacteria reaches 64 mg/L， therapeutic drug monitoring is required. For therapeutic efficacy， it is essential to ensure that the trough concentration remains above the MIC； to prevent drug resistance， it should be maintained above 4×MIC. Regarding safety， it is recommended that the upper limit of the trough concentration be 32 mg/L， and blood sampling for monitoring can be conducted as early as after 1 to 2 doses of administration.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of monitoring indicators related to the"Perioperative In-fection Control"in medical institutions above the secondary level in Guizhou Province,and to delve into the imple-mentation of key measures for infection prevention and control during the perioperative period for patients under-going surgical operations.METHODS Based on the"Implementation Plan for the'Perioperative Infection Control'Initiative in Guizhou Province",a"Case Investigation Form on Key Measures for Infection Prevention and Control During the Perioperative Period for Patients Undergoing Surgical Operation"was developed.A total of 138 medi-cal institutions participated in the case investigation,and a total of 2 128 cases were investigated.RESULTS The overall monitoring indicators for the"Perioperative Infection Control"initiative in the 138 medical institutions a-bove the secondary level in Guizhou Province were at a relatively low level.The skin cleansing compliance rate was 80.32％,the hair removal compliance rate was 16.43％,the prophylactic antibacterial drug administration rate within 0.5-1 hour before surgery was 55.94％and the antibacterial drug discontinuation rate within 24 hours after prophylactic medication for type Ⅰ incision surgeries was 56.48％.The hair removal compliance rate was higher in tertiary medical institutions(19.21％)than in secondary medical institutions(14.34％)(P=0.039).The distri-bution of the four monitoring indicators varied in clinical departments and surgery types,with statistically signifi-cant differences(P＜0.05).The preferred method for surgical site skin cleansing in medical institutions across the province was local wiping,primarily with clean water(57.21％).The primary method for hair removal was razors(68.82％),and hair removal on the day of surgery was most common(61.75％).CONCLUSIONS Conduc-ting a survey on the current status of"Perioperative Infection Control"initiative monitoring indicators in medi-cal institutions in Guizhou Province helps to understand the implementation of key measures for perioperative in-fection prevention and control and set intervention targets,thus providing references for establishing a dynam-ic monitoring indicator change mechanism.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of quercetin on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs).Methods BMSCs were divided into a blank control group(Control)and quercetin(Quercetin)low-dose group(4.8 mL/kg),medium-dose group(9.6 mL/kg),and high-dose group(19.2 mL/kg)intervened with drug-containing serum,while the positive control group was treated with osteogenic differentiation medium,respectively.The cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry,cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay,cell activity was determined by Alkaline phosphatase(ALP)assay kit,and calcified nodule formation was observed by alizarin red staining.The expression of β-catenin and the key factors of osteogenic differentiation,runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2)and osteocalcin(OCN),were detected by qPCR and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared with the control group,quercetin-containing serum significantly promoted the proliferation of BMSCs(P=0.000205,P=0.000063)and enhanced the formation of calcium nodules,and increased osteogenic and ALP activity after osteogenic differentiation.The results of qPCR and Western blot showed that the quercetin group significantly up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of β-catenin(P<0.0001),RUNX2(P<0.0001)and OCN(P<0.0001)during osteogenic differentiation.Conclusion Quercetin can effectively promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs,and its mechanism is achieved by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and up-regulating the expression of the osteogenesis-related transcription factor RUNX2.

Objective: To investigate the effects of different doses of X ⁃rays irradiation combined with allogeneic lymphocyte infusion on the establishment of aplastic anemia in mice. Methods: Forty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups : the 3 Gy group (n = 9) , the 4 Gy group (n = 9) , the 5 Gy group (n = 10) , and the con⁃trol group (n = 12) . In the 3 Gy , 4 Gy , and 5 Gy groups , the experimental mice were exposed to corresponding do⁃ses of X ⁃ray and then intravenously infused with 0. 2 mL mixed suspension of the thymus and spleen cells from DBA/2 mice , at a concentration of 1 × 107 cells/mL , within 4 hours after irradiation. The control group did not un⁃dergo X ⁃ray irradiation and infused with an equivalent volume of physiological saline instead. Blood samples were collected from the orbital venous plexus of BALB/c mice and analyzed using an animal automated hematology analy⁃zer to measure peripheral blood parameters , including red blood cells ( RBC) , white blood cells ( WBC) , and platelets (PLT) . The general condition of mice was monitored daily , and survival rates were recorded for each group. At the experimental endpoint , the tibias were harvested for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining , while the femurs were used to prepare bone marrow smears for morphological examination. For the 5 Gy group , T ⁃cell subsets(ELISA) at the endpoint. Results : In the 3 Gy group , pancytopenia was observed , but platelet recovery occured rapidly , returning to normal levels by day 17 post⁃modeling. No deaths occurred during the observation period. At myeloid⁃to⁃erythroid (M/E) ratio , and no significant morphological abnormalities were noted in cells at any devel⁃with hematopoietic cells. In the 4 Gy group , pancytopenia persisted throughout the observation period. The survival rate was 90% . Endpoint analysis showed hypocellular marrow by morphological examination. HE staining indicated minimal fatty infiltration in the bone marrow tissue. In the 5 Gy group , pancytopenia was observed , though erythro⁃cyte counts returned to normal levels by day 24. The survival rate during the observation period was 50% . Endoint analysis revealed vacuolization of marrow particles and reduced hematopoietic cells with predominantly non⁃hematopoietic cells in bone marrow morphology. HE staining demonstrated severe fatty infiltration in the bone mar⁃row tissue , with scarcity of immature cells and hematopoietic precursor cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed a de⁃creased proportion of CD4 + T cells (% ) and an increased proportion of CD8 + T cells (% ) . ELISA confirmed elevated secretion of negative hematopoietic regulators : interferon⁃gamma ( IFN⁃γ) and tumor necrosis factor⁃alpha (TNF⁃α ) . Conclusion Combined administration of varying radiation doses with allogeneic lymphocyte infusion consistently induced peripheral blood cytopenia in mice , characterized by reductions in RBC , WBC , and PLT counts. Integrated analysis of bone marrow morphology , histopathological assessment via HE staining , and immuno logical parameters confirmed that a mouse model of aplastic anemia can be successfully established using 5 Gy X ⁃ ray irradiation coupled with infusion of 2 × 106 allogeneic lymphocytes.

Background and purpose:Colorectal cancer(CRC)is one of the major malignant tumors threatening human health worldwide,with long-term high incidence and mortality rate.Potassium channel modulatory factor 1(KCMF1)is a member of the E3 ubiquitin ligase family.It binds to target proteins through the RING domain and participates in the regulation of a variety of biological processes in vivo.However,the function of KCMF1 in CRC remains unclear.This study aimed to investigate the expression level of E3 ubiquitin ligase KCMF1 in colorectal tumor,and to explore the effects of KCMF1 on the proliferation of CRC cells and its underlying molecular mechanism.Methods:The The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx)databases were used to analyze the expression level of KCMF1 in CRC tissues and adjacent tissues and the association between the KCMF1 expression and the prognosis of CRC patients.Furthermore,immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the protein level of KCMF1 in 90 paired human CRC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues.Lentiviral shRNA delivery system was employed to specifically target the KCMF1 gene(shKCMF1)in HCT116 and HCT15 CRC cell lines.The effects of KCMF1 knockdown on cell proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were assessed by methyl thiazoyl terazolium(MTT)assay,colony formation assay,Western blot and flow cytometry.Changes in the transcriptional profile in HCT116 cells upon KCMF1 knockdown were identified by RNA sequencing(RNA-Seq),and the affected signaling pathways were evaluated by bioinformatics analysis.Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RTFQ-PCR),Western blot,luciferase reporter assay and cell immunofluorescence assay were utilized to validate the alteration of the affected signaling pathway.Results:The TCGA and GTEx databases and IHC results showed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of KCMF1 in CRC tissues were significantly upregulated compared with adjacent tissues(P＜0.01).KCMF1 expression level was negatively correlated with the survival time of patients with CRC(P＜0.01),and was positively associated with CRC clinical stage(P＜0.05).Compared with control cells,KCMF1 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 and HCT15 cells(P＜0.001),induced cell apoptosis(P＜0.001),and led to cell cycle arrest in G1 phase(P＜0.01).RNA-Seq analysis showed that KCMF1 was involved in the regulation of several signaling pathways,including nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway.KCMF1 knockdown reduced the transcription levels of the target genes of NF-κB signaling pathway,including BCL-XL,XIAP and CIAP(P＜0.05),and suppressed the expression of phosphorylated p65 and nuclear translocation of p65(P＜0.01).Meanwhile,the activity of NF-κB reporter was reduced in tumor cells upon KCMF1 knockdown(P＜0.01).Conclusion:The expression of KCMF1 is significantly upregulated in human CRC tissues and positively associated with advanced clinical stage and poor prognosis.KCMF1 may promote the proliferation of CRC cells by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway.KCMF1 may be a potential new therapeutic target for CRC.

Objective:To investigate the self-defect sensation and its influencing factors in patients scheduled for photodynamic therapy for port wine stains.Methods:A total of 183 patients scheduled for photodynamic therapy for port wine stains in our hospital were selected and investigated by online questionnaire. The data of the respondents were collected by means of online filling in the questionnaire star using the General Data Survey Scale and the Defect Perception Scale (FIS) at admission.Results:The total score of self-defect in 183 patients with bright red nevus treated by photodynamic therapy was higher than that of the domestic norm. Age ( t=4.19), place of residence ( F=14.90), co-resident ( F=3.21), education level ( F=4.39), marital status ( F=2.47), income level ( F=9.51) and occupation ( F=5.82) had significantly related with the level of self-deficiency of patients ( P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that residence and income level were the main factors affecting patients′ sense of self-deficiency ( F=4.96, P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall self-defect sense of 183 patients with port wine stains treated with photodynamic therapy in this survey is more serious, their own comprehensive conditions and family structure will affect the self-defect sense of patients with port wine stains. We should pay special attention to the mental health of patients from municipal cities and low-income levels, timely carry out clinical nursing education and psychological guidance, jointly improve the compliance and cooperation of patients with treatment, and promote the rapid recovery of patients.
