A 66-year-old female patient with lung adenocarcinoma was treated with crizotinib [the first-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors] 250 mg twice daily. Prior to treatment, the patient's liver and kidney functions were normal. One month after treatment, her serum creatinine (Scr) was 85 μmol/L, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 115 U/L. After discontinuing crizotinib for 10 days, both Scr and ALT returned to normal. One month later, the patient underwent a right lower lobectomy. Crizotinib was restarted postoperatively, and she developed symptoms of lower limb edema and poor appetite. After more than 3 months of treatment, her Scr increased to 129 μmol/L, ALT was 96 U/L, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was 83 U/L. Crizotinib was then switched to alectinib (the second-generation ALK inhibitors) 600 mg orally twice daily, and the patient's gastrointestinal symptoms and liver function were rapidly improved. However, her Scr continued to increase gradually (140-150 μmol/L). Renal biopsy pathology indicated IgA nephropathy and acute tubular injury. After 4 months of alectinib treatment, Scr was 174 μmol/L, and the drug was promptly discontinued. One month after discontinuation, Scr decreased to 125 μmol/L. Due to tumor progression, the patient restarted alectinib at a reduced dose (300 mg twice daily). Three months later, Scr increased to 177 μmol/L. Subsequently, alectinib was replaced with lorlatinib (the third-generation ALK inhibitors) 100 mg once daily due to tumor progression. After 6 months of treatment, the tumor condition was controlled, and Scr decreased to 124 μmol/L.

Objective:To determine the characteristics of hospitalized newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with high disease activity, and identify the risk factors.Methods:Data from 194 newly diagnosed SLE patients at Shanghai Renji Hospital between May 2013 and December 2018 were collected retrospectively. All patients were followed up for 1 year or until death. Patients' demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics on admission and medication history were retrospectively collected as baseline data. Patients were divided into two groups, lupus patients with infection (51 cases) and lupus patients without infection (143 cases). The method of univariate analysis of data depended on the data distribution type. Variables that suggested association in the univariate analysis ( P<0.05) were entered into Cox regression model. Results:Among 194 patients with newly diagnosed SLE, 21 cases (11%) died and 51 cases (26%) were infected during 1-year follow-up. Regarding the infection site, 34 cases (67%) had lung infection, 9 cases (18%) had central nervous system infection and 9 cases (18%) had blood stream infection. Common bacteria were identified in 19 cases (45%), followed by fungal infection in 18 cases (43%) and mycobacterium infection in 7 cases (17%). Among the 51 patients with infection, 38 patients (75%) had infection within the first 3 months after diagnosis, and mortality in this group was significantly higher than that in the uninfected group (39%, 15/38 vs 2%, 3/143 , P<0.01). Comparing baseline parameters between patients with 3-month infection and without, significant differences ( P<0.05) were detected in age (≥40 years), systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score (>10 points), Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinic (SLICC)/American College of Rheumatology(ACR) systemic lupus erythematosus damage index (SDI) (≥1 point), pericardial effusion, nephritis, gastrointestinal vasculitis, diabetes, lymphocyte count <0.8×10 9/L platelet count <100×10 9/L, serum creatinine >104 mmol/L and serum globulin level <20 g/L. Finally, clinically meaningful candidate predictors were included in the Cox regression model and it showed that lymphocyte count <0.8×10 9/L, nephritis and gastrointestinal vasculitis were independently predictive for 3-month infection in new-onset lupus patients. Conclusion:Understanding disease spectrums and risk factors of infection in newly diagnosed SLE patients will help clinicians to manage those patients with infection effectively to achieve favorable prognosis.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of two different blood transfusion strategies in non-shock stage of sever burn patients, so as to provide reference for clinical rational use of blood. 【Methods】 74 cases of severe burn patients in our hospital from July 2019 to December 2020 were randomly divided into restrictive transfusion group and liberal transfusion group. The differences of blood transfusion volume, red blood cell (RBC) count before and after blood transfusion, Hb value, incidence of transfusion adverse reactions, postoperative infection rate, length of hospital stay, and 30 day mortality between the two groups were retrospectively analyzed. 【Results】 1) The blood transfusion volume of the restricted blood transfusion group [(9.58±7.43)U] was statistically less than that of the liberal blood transfusion group [(22.24±20.08)U] (P<0.05). 2) The increase of Hb per unit of RBC in the restrictive transfusion group [(4.98±3.37)g/L] was higher than that in the liberal transfusion group [(3.28±3.12)g/L], and the difference was statistically significant. (P< 0.05). 3) There were no significant differences in postoperative infection rate, incidence of transfusion adverse reaction, length of stay and 30 day mortality between the two groups (P> 0.05). 【Conclusion】 Limited blood transfusion treatment for severe burn patients in non-shock stage can reduce the frequency and risk of blood transfusion and save blood resources, which is of great significance for rational and safe blood use in clinic.

Objective:To evaluate the association between the efficacy and safety of metformin and the influence of variants in SLC47A1 rs2289669 G>A polymorphism in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted. Patients were consented at enrollment for blood donation for genotyping, and their peripheral blood were used to detect the distribution frequency of SLC47A1 mutations. The major or mild/moderate flares defined by modified safety lupus erythematosus national assessment (SELENA)-systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) Flare Index (SFI) and adverse events were recorded at 12 months of follow-up. The correlation between efficacy/safety and genotype was analyzed. Student's t test and χ2 test was used to assess the continuous variables and categorical variables. Results:Between May 24, 2016, and Dec 13, 2017, a total of 31 patients in the metformin group and 35 in the placebo group were detected. There were no statistical significant differences in the clinical manifestations, SELENA-SLEDAI scores, and therapy of the participants at baseline. There was no significant difference in the frequency of AA genotype, GA genotype, and GG genotype of SLC47A1 rs2289669 distribution between the metformin group and the placebo group. In the metformin group, patients who flared had a lower frequency of A alleles than those non-flared [25%(4/16) vs 61%(28/46), χ2=6.116, P=0.019 8]; the flare rate was significantly lower in patients with AA genotype than in GG genotype [0%(0/8) vs 57%(4/7), χ2=6.234, P=0.012 5]. The infection rate was lower in the metformin group than that in the placebo group [38%(12/31) vs 69%(24/35), χ2=5.913, P=0.015 0], but there was no significant difference among different genotypes in the metformin group. Compared to GG geno-type, AA genotype showed a trend of decrease in infection rate[38%(3/8) vs 72%(5/7), χ2=1.727, P=0.188 8]. Conclusion:Metformin has a favorable safety profile and may reduce the frequency of flares in SLE patients with low-grade lupus disease activity. The metformin therapeutic efficacy in SLE is relevant to the SLC47A1 gene polymorphism. Patients of the AA genotype may benefit most from metformin than those of the GG and GA genotypes.
