OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics and influential factors of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in children caused by intravenous azithromycin. METHODS Clinical data of 157 DILI pediatric cases caused by intravenous azithromycin, reported by the Hengshui Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center from January 2015 to January 2025, were collected as the observation group. Clinical data of pediatric patients who received intravenous azithromycin but did not develop DILI during the same period at Hengshui People’s Hospital were collected in a 1∶1 ratio to serve as the control group. The clinical classification, severity and prognosis of DILI in pediatric patients from the observation group were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to screen the independent risk factors for DILI in children caused by intravenous azithromycin. RESULTS Among 157 DILI cases, 92 cases (58.60%) had hepatocellular injury-type, 51 cases (32.48%) had cholestatic-type, and 14 cases (8.92%) had mixed-type. DILI severity was grade 1 in 117 cases (74.52%), grade 2 in 33 cases (21.02%), and grade 3 in 7 cases (4.46%). Liver function had all recovered after stopping medication and symptomatic treatment. Combined with acetaminophen [OR=3.769, 95%CI (1.615, 8.235), P=0.021], daily dose of azithromycin>10 mg/kg [OR= 2.237, 95%CI (1.075, 4.655), P=0.034] were independent risk factors for DILI in children caused by intravenous azithromycin. CONCLUSIONS Hepatocellular injury-type and cholestatic-type are relatively common in children with DILI caused by intravenous azithromycin, with mild severity being predominant and showing a favorable prognosis. Combination with acetaminophen and daily dose>10 mg/kg are independent risk factors for azithromycin-induced DILI in children.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS). METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of RTX (trial group) versus placebo (control group) in the treatment of pSS were searched from the Cochran Library, PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, VIP, CNKI, Wanfang, and other databases during the inception to February 2024. After literature screening and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Seven RCTs were finally included, involving a total of 518 patients. Results of meta-analysis showed that European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI) score [MD=-1.17, 95%CI(-1.52, -0.82), P<0.000 01] and oral dryness visual analogue scale (VAS) score [MD=-3.97, 95%CI (-5.08, -2.86), P<0.000 01] in the trial group were significantly lower than the control group; unstimulated salivary flow rate [SMD=0.64, 95%CI(0.41, 0.87), P<0.000 01] and Schirmer score [MD=0.19, 95%CI(0.18, 0.20), P<0.000 01] were significantly higher than the control group. There was no statistical significance in response rate [RD=0.10, 95%CI(-0.04, 0.23), P=0.16], fatigue VAS score [MD=-12.50, 95%CI(-35.14, 10.15), P=0.28], European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren syndrome patient reported index (ESSPRI) score [MD=0.33, 95%CI(-0.53, 1.18), P=0.46], Short-form 36 health survey physical component summary (SF36-PCS) score [MD=0.90, 95%CI(-2.97, 4.78), P=0.65], SF-36 mental component summary (SF36-MCS) score [MD=0.11, 95%CI(-0.41, 0.63), P=0.68], total salivary gland ultrasound score [SMD=-1.91, 95%CI(-4.01, 0.19), P=0.07] or the incidence of adverse drug reactions [OR=1.15,95%CI(0.62,2.13),P=0.66] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS RTX has advantages in the improvement of ESSDAI score, unstimulated salivary flow rate, Schirmer score and oral dryness VAS score in pSS patients, and has a good safety profile. However, it did not exhibit significant improvement in fatigue VAS score, ESSPRI score, SF36-PCS score, SF36-MCS score or response rates.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) and percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) techniques in treating recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH).Methods:This study is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data were retrospectively collected from 68 patients who underwent surgical treatment for RLDH at Department of Mini-invasive Spinal Surgery, the Third People′s Hospital of Henan Province from June 2020 to June 2023. The patients were divided into the UBE group (38 cases) and the PTED group (30 cases) based on the surgical technique used. The drainage volume, surgery duration, and postoperative complications for revision surgeries in both groups were recorded. Visual analogue scale(VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to assess back pain and leg pain degrees and improvements preoperatively, 3 days postoperatively, 3 months postoperatively, and at the final follow-up. The modified Macnab criteria were used to evaluate outcomes at the final follow-up. The data comparison was conducted using independent sample t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance, χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Results:All surgeries were successfully completed. The surgery duration in the UBE group was significantly shorter than in the PTED group, with statistically significant differences ((50.9±10.5)minutes vs.(55.9±12.5)minutes, t=1.234, P=0.001). All patients were followed up for more than 1 year, with a follow-up period of (18.1±5.6) months (range: 12 to 29 months). Both groups showed a significant reduction in VAS and ODI for back and leg pain at all postoperative time points compared to preoperative scores (all P<0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in VAS of low back pain, lower limb pain score and ODI score over time between the groups (all P>0.05). At the final follow-up, the UBE group had an excellent and good rate of 92.1% (35/38); the PTED group had an excellent and good rate of 86.6% (26/30)( χ2=0.727, P=0.867). One patient in the UBE group and three in the PTED group experienced cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and one patient in the PTED group experienced postoperative leg numbness; all were discharged after conservative treatment. At the final follow-up, lumbar X-rays, CT, and MRI evaluations showed no recurrence or instability at the surgical segments. Conclusions:Both UBE and PTED can achieve good clinical outcomes in the treatment of RLDH through continuous visualization. The choice of surgical method for RLDH should be more precisely tailored to the individual.

Objective:To investigate the endoscopic and pathological characteristics of metachronous early gastric cancer (EGC) after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for EGC.Methods:Data of 451 consecutive EGC patients treated with ESD at the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking University Third Hospital between 1 January, 2005 and 31 December, 2022 were retrospectively collected, of which 252 patients who met the criteria and had endoscopic follow-up ≥ 1 year were enrolled in the retrospective dynamic cohort. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for metachronous EGC after ESD. Pearson's contingency coefficient was applied to analyze endoscopic correlation between the index and metachronous lesions. T-test, χ2 test, and Fisher exact test were used to compare endoscopic pathological features between index and metachronous lesions, the proportion of lesions meeting absolute ESD indication and their maximum diameters between patients undergoing annual vs bi-annual follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis assessed the cumulative incidence of metachronous EGC. Results:During a median follow-up of 40 months, 26 patients [10.3% (26/252)] developed metachronous EGC, with a mean interval of 43.9 months. Multivariate Cox regression identified the independent risk factors of index lesions including location in the middle third of the stomach ( HR=3.783, 95% CI: 1.300-11.011, P=0.015), in the anterior wall ( HR=3.934, 95% CI: 1.113-13.904, P=0.033), and the maximum diameter <15 mm ( HR=3.034, 95% CI: 1.074-8.571, P=0.036). Pearson's contingency coefficient showed no significant concordance between index and metachronous lesions for vertical location (C=0.375, P=0.372), horizontal location (C=0.508, P=0.434), gross morphology (C=0.287, P=0.675), or ulcer presence (C=0.194, P=0.313). Compared to index lesions, metachronous lesions were more frequently located on the posterior wall (lesser curvature/greater curvature/anterior wall/posterior wall: 11/2/1/12 VS 96/49/46/61, P=0.031), more often differentiated (differentiated/undifferentiated: 26/0 VS 214/38, P=0.032), and smaller in maximum diameter (8.08±5.99 mm VS 13.95±10.26 mm, t=4.383, P<0.001). No significant differences were observed between patients undergoing annual vs bi-annual follow-up in the proportion of metachronous lesions meeting absolute ESD indication (14/16 VS 9/9, P=0.520) or in maximum diameter (8.11±6.94 mm VS 6.67±4.35 mm, t=-0.275, P=0.535). The cumulative incidence curve of metachronous EGC plateaued after 10 years. Conclusion:Patients with EGC located in the middle third of the stomach, in the anterior wall, or of smaller diameter need intensive endoscopic surveillance after ESD. Posterior wall deserves particular attention during follow-up, with annual endoscopy recommended for at least 10 years post-ESD.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the influential factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB). METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI database, Wanfang database and VIP database, the studies about the influential factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of adult patients with severe infections caused by MDR-GNB from the database construction to April 30, 2025. After screening literature, extracting data and evaluating the quality of literature, systematic review was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 14 studies involving 2 033 patients were included, of which 1 355 patients showed effective treatment outcomes. The meta-analysis results showed that Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-Ⅱ > 20 [OR=4.50, 95%CI (2.28, 8.85), P<0.001], malignant tumor [OR=1.96, 95%CI (1.41, 2.72), P<0.001], hemodialysis [OR=2.09, 95%CI (1.40, 3.12), P<0.001], septic shock [OR=3.07, 95%CI (2.00, 4.72), P<0.001], mechanical ventilation [OR=2.31, 95%CI (1.57, 3.39), P<0.001], coagulation dysfunction [OR= 3.03, 95%CI (2.09, 4.37), P<0.001], glucocorticoids use>3 days [OR=2.26, 95%CI (1.14, 4.45), P=0.020], and longer hospitalization time before using tigecycline [OR=3.33, 95%CI (1.34, 8.30), P=0.010] were risk factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in treatment of severe infections caused by MDR-GNB. Tigecycline initial double-dose regimen [OR=0.23, 95%CI (0.13, 0.42), P<0.001], combination therapy [OR=0.15, 95%CI (0.05, 0.48), P=0.001], and prolonged treatment course [OR=0.91, 95%CI (0.88, 0.95), P<0.001] were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS There are many influential factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of severe infections caused by MDR-GNB, among which APACHE-Ⅱ score>20, malignant tumor, hemodialysis, septic shock, mechanical ventilation, coagulation dysfunction, glucocorticoids>3 d and longer hospitalization time before using tigecycline before tigecycline (No.20251606) use are risk factors; tigecycline double dose, combined medication and longer treatment course are protective factors.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of implementing a domestic vehicle-mounted remote mobile robotic surgical system in thyroid surgery applications, integrated with 5G communication technology.Methods:Using the main system located on the vehicle-mounted mobile robot operating platform of the 960th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force and the slave system of Weifang Traditional Chinese Hospital, the remote radical thyroidectomy 5G communication technology, and analyze the clinical and information transmission data of two female patients who underwent remote mobile robot thyroid cancer surgery on October 21, 2024 at Weifang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.Results:The remote radical thyroidectomy was conducted by the robosurgeons utilizing a vehicle-mounted mobile robotic surgical system, and the procedure was successfully completed without necessitating intermediate open surgery. The operation durations for patient 1 and patient 2 were 135 minutes and 108 minutes, respectively, with 7 and 13 lymph nodes dissected, respectively. The average delay in surgical data transmission was recorded at 61.9 milliseconds, with no instances of signal interruption or frame loss. The procedure proceeded smoothly, without any jamming, and the audio and video transmissions were consistently clear. Follow up for 21 days after surgery showed no complications such as hoarseness, skin damage, or lymphatic fistula.Conclusion:The implementation of a vehicle-mounted remote mobile robotic surgery system for thyroid surgery has demonstrated safety and feasibility. Furthermore, the utilization of the 5G network offers rapid data transmission and minimal latency, closely approximating the therapeutic efficacy of traditional robotic thyroidectomy.
