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.

Esophageal cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract in China, and radical surgery remains the cornerstone of its comprehensive treatment. However, multifactorial challenges such as postoperative gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, traumatic stress, and tumor-related metabolic disturbances render esophageal cancer patients highly susceptible to malnutrition. Perioperative nutritional support therapy plays a crucial role in enhancing surgical safety, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating patients' quality of life by regulating metabolic homeostasis, preserving organ function, and optimizing the immune microenvironment. This article reviews the mechanisms underlying malnutrition in esophageal cancer, methods for nutritional status assessment, and precision intervention pathways based on multi-omics evaluations. The aim is to strengthen clinicians' awareness of standardized perioperative nutritional management for esophageal cancer patients and promote its clinical implementation, thereby facilitating postoperative recovery and improving long-term quality of life.

Objective:To summarize and discuss the clinical effect of different forms of anterolateral femoral perforator flap in the repair of acute lower extremity lesions based on the theory of damage control orthopaedics (DCO).Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with acute destructive wounds in the lower limbs admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Under the guidance of the DCO theory, the combined injuries were treated through multidisciplinary consultation, and at the same time, first-stage debridement, bone stent restoration, limb blood transport reconstruction, nerve tendon repair and temporary vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) dressing were applied. After the systemic condition was stabilized, the wound was repaired with anterolateral femoral perforator flaps of different forms. The defect area was 8.0 cm×5.0 cm-35.0 cm×25.0 cm, and the donor flap area was closed in one stage in all cases.Results:30 cases of skin flap survived completely after operation, 2 cases had distal partial necrosis, wound healing after dressing change, 1 case had delayed complete necrosis. The follow-up time was 9-25(14.7±5.3)months. 2 patients were treated with the second stage of repair surgery due to the bloated flap. The rest were satisfied with the shape of the reconstructed flap and the donor flap area, and the ankle joint function score was good.Conclusions:DCO theory combined with anterolateral femoral perforator flap is a safe and effective way to repair the mutilated wounds of lower limbs.

Resistance to poly adenosine diphosphate(ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor(PARPi)presents a considerable obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer.F-box and tryptophan-aspartic(WD)repeat domain containing 11(FBXW11)modulates the ubiquitination of growth-and invasion-related factors in lung cancer,colorectal cancer,and osteosarcoma.The function of FBXW11 in PARPi therapy is still ambiguous.In this study,RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)showed that FBXW11 expression was raised in ovarian cancer cells that had been treated with PARPi.FBXW11 was abnormally expressed at low levels in high-grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSOC)tissues,and low levels of FBXW11 were associated with shorter overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)in HGSOC patients.Overexpressing FBXW11 made ovarian cancer more sensitive to PARPi,while knocking down FBXW11 made it less sensitive.The four-dimensional(4D)label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that FBXW11 targeted S100 calcium binding protein A11(S100A11)and promoted its degradation through ubiquiti-nation.The increased degradation of S100A11 led to less efficient DNA damage repair,which in turn contributed to increased PARPi-induced DNA damage.The role of FBXW11 in promoting PARPi sensitivity was also confirmed in xenograft mouse models.In summary,our study confirms that FBXW11 promotes the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells to PARPi via affecting S10OA11-mediated DNA damage repair.
