OBJECTIVE To introduce the development of an intelligent prescription review decision-support system for anti-tumor drugs and assess its clinical application outcomes. METHODS Relevant data sources, including national and local pharmaceutical administration policies, clinical practice guidelines/consensus, hospital information systems data, and genetic testing results, were integrated. Adhering to the principles of structure, standardization and dynamic updating, a knowledge base covering chemotherapeutic, targeted and immunotherapeutic agents was constructed using a dual-dimensional modeling approach that combined “drug attributes” and “clinical contexts”. This knowledge base was then embedded into the hospital’s electronic medical order system to establish the prescription review decision-support system. The application and performance of the system were evaluated at Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. RESULTS A knowledge base containing 18 318 prescription review rules for anti-tumor drugs was constructed, and a closed-loop prescription review system was successfully established, encompassing pre-prescription real-time intervention, in-process interactive review, and post-prescription evaluation and analysis. From 2021 to 2024, the system generated a total of 57 879 alerts for prescriptions of five typical categories of anti-tumor drugs. For platinum-containing prescriptions, 22 577 alerts were generated, with Cisplatin for injection (lyophilized) being the most frequently alerted drug (13 445 alerts), and “ototoxicity risk due to combined use” alerts remained high (7 682 alerts). For methotrexate-containing prescriptions, 3 721 alerts were recorded, primarily related to “precaution-related issues” (76.4%, 2 843/3 721). For doxorubicin-containing prescriptions, 17 301 alerts were triggered, primarily related to “dosage and administration” (14 315 alerts). For human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-targeted agents-containing prescriptions, 1 007 alerts were issued, mostly related to “reimbursement restrictions” (956 alerts). For programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors-containing prescriptions, the alerts increased year by year, totaling 13 273 alerts, primarily related to “inappropriate indication” (9 118 alerts). Over the 4 years, the physician response rates to system alerts were 21.4%, 27.1%, 33.5% and 51.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS An intelligent decision-support system for anti-tumor drug prescription review, encompassing a closed-loop process of “real-time pre-event intervention, interactive in-event prescription review, post-event evaluation and analysis”, has been successfully constructed and implemented throughout the entire workflow. There is a discernible trend in this hospital, where the focus on monitoring anti-tumor drugs is shifting towards immunotherapy drugs. Additionally, the acceptance rate of physicians regarding prescription review opinions has been steadily increasing year by year.

Background Microparticles (MPs) are one of the main medium of inflammatory reaction with an important role in atherosclerotic progression. Studies on association of air pollution exposure and levels of peripheral blood MPs are limited among human. Objective To evaluate the effects of short-term exposure to air pollution on levels of peripheral blood MPs. Method A panel of 73 healthy adults was followed with 4 repeated follow-ups in Beijing, China, from November 2014 to January 2016. During each visit, we collected questionnaire information, fasting venous blood, urine, and exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), black carbon, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone. We used linear mixed-effect models to analyze associations of air pollution exposure with levels of total MPs (TMPs) and MPs derived from various cells. Stratified analysis was conducted by levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Results The results showed significant associations between air pollution exposure and peripheral blood TMPs at 2 h-6 d prior to the follow-ups (P<0.05), while no statistical associations were found for MPs derived from different cell types. Significant increases in TMPs of 7.8% (95%CI: 0.7%, 15.3%) and 14.3% (95%CI: 2.8%, 27.2%) were observed with each interquartile range (IQR) increase in PM2.5 (IQR=64.9 μg·m−3) at prior 18 h and NO (IQR=40.5 μg·m−3) at prior 48 h. Among participants with low levels of CRP and MDA, significantly positive associations were observed between air pollution exposure and levels of TMPs (P<0.05). Conclusion Short-term exposure to air pollution is significantly associated with increased levels of circulating MPs in healthy adults, and in people with lower systemic inflammation, peripheral blood MPs levels are more easily affected after exposure to air pollutants.

Objective To explore the relationship between lacune of presumed vascular origin and spontaneous HT in elderly patients with AIS.Methods A total of 671 AIS patients hospitalized in our hospital from January 2021 to September 2024 were prospectively recruited.According to the conditions of lacune of presumed vascular origin by the first cranial MRI examination after admis-sion,they were divided into 330 cases with lacune of presumed vascular origin and 341 cases with-out,and based on the re-examination of head CT or MRI during hospitalization,they were also as-signed into a HT group(139 cases)and a non-HT group(532 cases).Multivariate logistic regres-sion analysis was conducted to clarify the correlation between lacune of presumed vascular origin and spontaneous HT in the elderly AIS patients.The incidence of spontaneous HT and the differ-ences in the subtype composition of spontaneous HT were compared between the mild and severe groups of lacune of presumed vascular origin.Results Baseline NIHSS score,atrial fibrillation,white matter lesions,enlarged perivascular spaces,cerebral microbleeds,large-area cerebral infarc-tion,and ratio of lacune of presumed vascular origin were significantly higher in the HT group than the non-HT group[(10(6,13)vs 9(5,12),P=0.000;28.1%vs 18.0%,P=0.009;74.8%vs 56.0%,P=0.000;79.9%vs 57.5%,P=0.000;30.2%vs 16.9%,P=0.000;45.3%vs 13.2%,P=0.000;66.2%vs 44.7%,P=0.000].The incidence of spontaneous HT was significantly high-er in the lacune of presumed vascular origin group than the non-lacune of presumed vascular ori-gin group(27.9%vs 13.8%,P=0.000).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that lacune of presumed vascular origin was an independent risk factor for spontaneous HT after AIS(OR=2.207,95%CI:1.231-3.959).Subtype analysis on spontaneous HT showed that the patients with lacune of presumed vascular origin had the largest proportion among all subtypes than the non-lacune of presumed vascular origin patients.The incidence of spontaneous HT was significantly higher in the severe lacune of presumed vascular origin group than the mild group(38.1%vs 20.9%,P=0.001).HI2 subtype was mainly observed in the severe group with sponta-neous HT,and HI1 subtype was in the mild group with spontaneous HT.Conclusion Lacune of presumed vascular origin is an independent risk factor for spontaneous HT after AIS in elderly patients.The patients with severe lacune of presumed vascular origin are prone to the occurrence and severe spontaneous HT than the mild lacunar patients.

Purpose The study aimed to analyze the relationship between MET gene variants and clinicopathologi-cal features in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect MET gene variants in NSCLC specimens.The association between MET gene variant status and clini-copathological features was then analyzed.Results Among 1 633 cases of NSCLC,the overall MET mutation rate was 4.53%(74/1 633).Variants were mainly observed in male patients,never-smokers,those older than 60 years,ade-nocarcinoma histology,and patients with TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ disease(P<0.05).MET gene variant status showed no significant assocication with patient age,sex,smoking history,or pathological subtype(P>0.05),but was statistical-ly correlated with clinical stage and presence of distant metastasis(P<0.05).The two major variant types were MET exon 14 skipping and MET amplification,which together accounted for 71.62%of all variants.In addition,MET am-plification was positively correlated with EGFR(P=0.003,rs=0.340)and TP53 mutations(P=0.002,rs=0.362),but showed no correlation with KRAS or ALK gene mutations.In contrast,MET exon 14 skipping was nega-tively correlated with EGFR gene mutations(P<0.001,rs=-0.409),and showed no significant correlation with KRAS,ALK,or TP53 mutations.Conclusion Different types of MET gene variants(amplification,exon 14 skip-ping,fusion,and others)are significantly associated with clinical advanced clinical stage and distant metastasis in NSCLC,but are independent of patient age,sex,smoking history,and pathological subtype.MET amplification fre-quently co-occur with EGFR and TP53 co-mutations.

BACKGROUND:As a temporary matrix for new bone growth,the porous scaffold plays a key role in the process of bone repair.The structural design of porous scaffolds is a research priority in the process of bone repair.OBJECTIVE:To summarize traditional bone scaffolds(regular,uniform scaffolds)and bionic scaffolds(irregular,inhomogeneous scaffolds)in the field of bone tissue engineering research.METHODS:A computerized search was performed in the databases of CNKI,VIP,WanFang,Web of Science,Science Direct,PubMed,and EI.Literature published from January 2008 to March 2024 was selected.The search terms in Chinese included"bone tissue engineering,bionic scaffolds,bone trabeculae,traditional scaffolds,bone repair,triple-period minimal surfaces."The search terms in English were"bone tissue engineering,bionic scaffolds,bone trabeculae,traditional scaffolds,bone repair,TPMS."Finally,81 articles were included for review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The structural design of bone scaffolds is the key to achieve bone repair and bone regeneration,and scaffold technology in bone tissue engineering has made remarkable progress.Traditional regular porous scaffolds are widely used due to their simple manufacturing process and good mechanical properties.However,these scaffolds often lack biological activity and are difficult to mimic the complex microenvironment of natural bone tissue,limiting their ability to promote cell proliferation and bone regeneration.On the contrary,bionic scaffolds provide a more suitable physiological microenvironment by mimicking the structural features of natural bone tissues,which promotes the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts,as well as the formation of new bone,and provides a new way of thinking for the effective treatment of bone defects.Despite the great potential of bionic scaffolds in theory,they still face many challenges in practical applications.Factors such as the scaffold's biocompatibility,bioactivity,and its long-term stability still need to be further verified through clinical trials.

ObjectiveTo observe the antidepressant effect of Chaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid on the rat model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and explore the mechanism from the histomorphology of frontal cortex, expression of key molecules in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) signaling pathway, and changes in monoamine neurotransmitter levels. MethodsSixty adult male SD rats were randomized into six groups (n=10): blank control, depression model, Chaihu Shugansan (3.3 g·kg-1·d-1), ferulic acid (50 mg·kg-1·d-1), Chaihu Shugansan (3.3 g·kg-1·d-1) + ferulic acid (50 mg·kg-1·d-1), and fluoxetine (2.1 mg·kg-1·d-1). Rats in other groups except the blank control group were subjected to a mild chronic unpredictable stress stimulus every day. Seven stimuli were used, including fasting with free access to water for 24 h, water deprivation with free access to food for 24 h, wetting the bedding with water in the cage, restraint for 3 h, tail clamping for 1 min, swimming in ice water at 4 ℃, and day and night reversal. Each stimulus was used 1 to 3 times, and the modeling lasted for a total of 21 days. At the same time of stimulation, rats in each medication group were treated with corresponding agents by gavage, while those in the blank control group and the depression model group received equal volumes of normal saline by gavage. The open field test, sucrose preference test, and forced swimming test were conducted before and after modeling. The rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 3% pentobarbital sodium, and the frontal cortex was isolated on ice. The mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) in the frontal cortex were determined by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot, respectively. The levels of monoamine neurotransmitters 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and norepinephrine (NE) in the frontal cortex were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Light microscopy was employed to observe the histopathological changes in the frontal cortex. ResultsCompared with the blank control group, the depression model group showed reduced body mass (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased number of crossings and rearings in the open field test and sucrose preference (P<0.01), prolonged time of immobility in the forced swimming test (P<0.01), reduced neuronal cells, increased necrotic cells, and darkening cell staining in the frontal cortex, down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB, CREB, and lowered levels of 5-HT, NE, and DA in the frontal cortex (P<0.01). Compared with the depression model group, each intervention group showed improved general state, increased body mass (P<0.05), increased number of crossings (P<0.05), shortened immobility time in the forced swimming test (P<0.01), increased neuronal cells, reduced necrotic cells, and lightened cellular staining in the frontal cortex, up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB and CREB, and elevated levels of 5-HT, NE, and DA in the frontal cortex (P<0.01). Moreover, the Chaihu Shugansan + ferulic acid group outperformed the Chaihu Shugansan group and the ferulic acid group in increasing the body mass and the 5-HT content in the frontal cortex (P<0.05). The combination group outperformed the Chaihu Shugansan group regarding the number of rearings and up-regulation in the mRNA level of BDNF in the frontal cortex (P<0.05), and it was superior to the ferulic acid group in terms of shortening the immobility time in the forced swimming test, up-regulating the mRNA levels of BDNF, TrkB, and CREB and the protein levels of BDNF and CREB in the frontal cortex, and increasing the DA content in the frontal cortex (P<0.05). ConclusionChaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid can exert antidepressant effect on the rat model of CUMS by regulating the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway and monoamine neurotransmitter content in the frontal cortex. Moreover, the antidepressant effect of Chaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid was more significant than that of Chaihu Shugansan and ferulic acid used alone.

[Objective] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated with underactive bladder (UAB) who respond poorly to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with BPH and UAB treated with TURP by the same surgeon in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University during Jan.2018 and Jan.2023.The residual urine volume was not significantly relieved after operation, and the maximum urine flow rate and urine volume per discharge were not significantly improved.All patients underwent phase I SNM, and urinary diaries were recorded before and after surgery to observe the average daily frequency of urination, volume per urination, maximum urine flow rate, and residual urine volume. [Results] The operation time was (97.6±11.2) min.During the postoperative test of 2-4 weeks, if the residual urine volume reduction by more than 50% was deemed as effective, SNM was effective in 6 patients (60.0%). Compared with preoperative results, the daily frequency of urination [(20.2±3.8) times vs. (13.2±3.2) times], volume per urination [(119.2±56.7) mL vs. (246.5±59.2) mL], maximum urine flow rate [(8.7±1.5) mL/s vs. (16.5±2.6) mL/s], and residual urine volume [(222.5±55.0) mL vs. (80.8±16.0) mL] were significantly improved, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no complications such as bleeding, infection, fever or pain.The 6 patients who had effective outcomes successfully completed phase II surgery, and the fistula was removed.During the follow-up of 1 year, the curative effect was stable, and there were no complications such as electrode displacement, incision infection, or pain in the irritation sites.The residual urine volume of the other 4 unsuccessful patients did not improve significantly, and the electrodes were removed and the vesicostomy tube was retained. [Conclusion] SNM is safe and effective in the treatment of BPH with UAB patients with poor curative effects after TURP.
