Allergic rhinitis （AR）， a common disease in otolaryngology， is intractable with prolonged attack and greatly affects the daily life of patients. Western medicine adopts many therapeutic protocols， such as medication， immunotherapy， and surgery， and also shows disadvantages， including severe side effects and poor long-term curative effect. As reported by modern research， Chinese medicine has the characteristics of good safety， stable curative effect， multi-target and overall regulation， and has unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of AR. With the increasing clinical practice of Chinese medicine in the treatment of AR， scholars have carried out substantial basic research on the regulation of AR signaling pathways by monomers and Chinese medicinal compounds from molecule-cell-biology. To further explain the transduction mechanism of AR signaling pathways， this paper systematically summarized the research progress based on the studies of monomers and Chinese medicinal compounds to provide references for the in-depth research on the intervention of related signaling pathways by Chinese medicine. The conclusions were drawn as follows. The main signaling pathways involved included nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） signaling pathway， TLR signaling pathway， interleukin （IL）-33/growth stimulation expressed gene 2 （ST2） signaling pathway， phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt） pathway， and mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） pathway. As revealed， the signaling pathways involved in the treatment of AR by Chinese medicine interacted with each other and genes were not independent in exerting the effects. For example， TLR， as the upstream signal， affected the PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways， and NF-κB was the downstream substrate of PI3K/Akt， TLR， IL-33/ST2， and MAPK signaling pathways. It was found that IL-33/ST2， as a new signaling pathway， was correlated with the severity and prognosis of AR.

OBJECTIVE: To study the influential factor of hyperlactatemia after the brain tumor craniotomy. METHODS: Patients who underwent selective brain tumor (including glioma, meningioma and acoustic schwannoma) craniotomyin the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from December 1st 2018 to May 20th 2019 were enrolled. The incidence of hyperlactatemia after the brain tumor craniotomy was investigated. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis were performed to identify the association of initial artery lactate with the operation duration, the intraoperative blood loss, the total intraoperative fluid infusion, intraoperative ringer lactate fluid infusion, intraoperative urine volume, intraoperative fluid balance, the total intraoperative corticosteroids dosage and the tumor type. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between lactate in arterial blood and independent related factors. RESULTS: A total of 148 patients were enrolled including 45 patients (30.41%) with glioma, 64 patients (43.24%) with meningioma, and 39 patients (26.35%) with acoustic schwannoma. The initial lactate level in arterial blood increased significantly in 148 patients, with a median of 4.80 (3.68, 5.90) mmol/L. Among them, 78 patients (52.70%) had mild elevation of lactate in arterial blood (2 mmol/L < lactate ≤ 5 mmol/L), 61 patients (41.22%) had significant elevation of lactate in arterial blood (5 mmol/L < lactate ≤ 10 mmol/L), and 2 patients (1.35%) had serious elevation of artery lactate (> 10 mmol/L). And only 7 patients (4.73%) had normal level of lactate in arterial blood (≤ 2 mmol/L). Univariate analysis showed that initial postoperative artery lactate was positively correlated with the operation duration [β = 0.556, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.257-0.855, P < 0.001] and the total intraoperative corticosteroids dosage (β = 0.477, 95%CI was 0.174-0.779, P = 0.002). There was no significant correlation between the initial postoperative artery lactate and tumor types, the intraoperative blood loss, the total fluid infusion, the ringer lactate fluid infusion, urine volume, and the fluid balance. Further multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the operation duration (β = 0.499, 95%CI was 0.204-0.795, P = 0.001) and the total intraoperative corticosteroids dosage (β = 0.407, 95%CI was 0.111-0.703, P = 0.008) were independent risk factors affecting the initial postoperative artery lactate. The correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between lactate in arterial blood and operation time and total hormone dosage during operation (r₁ = 0.289, r₂ = 0.248, both P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Initial artery lactate after brain tumor craniotomy is associated with surgery duration and exogenous administration of corticosteroids.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) vancomycin concentrations and identify factors influencing CSF vancomycin concentrations in critically ill neurosurgical patients. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted. Adult patients who received vancomycin treatment and CSF vancomycin concentrations monitoring admitted to neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2016 to June 2019 were enrolled. General information, vancomycin dosing regimens, CSF vancomycin concentrations, CSF drainage methods and volume of the previous day, and concurrent medications, etc. were collected for analysis. CSF vancomycin concentrations of patients with definite or indefinite central nervous system (CNS) infection, different vancomycin dosing regimens and their influencing factors were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 22 patients were included. 168 CSF specimens were collected for culture, 20 specimens of which were culture positive, with a positive rate of 11.9%. Sixty cases of CSF vancomycin concentration were obtained. Among the 22 patients, 7 patients (31.8%) were diagnosed with proven CNS infection, 11 patients (50.0%) clinically diagnosed, 2 patients (9.1%) diagnosed with uncertain CNS infection, and 2 patients (9.1%) diagnosed without CNS infection. Intravenous (IV) administration of vancomycin alone was used in 15 cases (25.0%), intrathecal injection in 17 cases (28.3%), IV+intrathecal injection in 23 cases (38.3%), and IV+intraventricular administration in 5 cases (8.3%). The CSF vancomycin concentrations ranged from < 0.24 to > 100 mg/L, with an average level of 14.40 (4.79, 42.34) mg/L. (1) Administration methods of vancomycin affected CSF vancomycin concentrations. The CSF vancomycin concentration with intrathecal injection or intraventricular administration was higher than that of IV administration alone [mg/L: 25.91 (11.28, 58.17) vs. 2.71 (0.54, 5.33), U = 42.000, P < 0.01]. (2) When vancomycin was administered by IV treatment alone, CSF vancomycin concentrations were low in both groups with definite CNS infection (proven+probable) and indefinite CNS infection (possible+non-infection), the CSF vancomycin concentrations of which were 4.14 (1.40, 6.36) mg/L and 1.27 (0.24, 3.33) mg/L respectively, with no significant difference (U = 11.000, P = 0.086). (3) CSF vancomycin concentrations rose with the increased dose of vancomycin delivered by intrathecal injection or intraventricular administration. According to the dose of vancomycin administered locally on the day before therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), cases were divided into the following groups: 0-15 mg group (n = 22), 20-35 mg group (n = 33), and 40-50 mg group (n = 5), the CSF vancomycin concentrations of which were 4.14 (1.09, 8.45), 30.52 (14.31, 59.61) and 59.43 (25.51, 92.45) mg/L respectively, with significant difference (H = 33.399, P < 0.01). Moreover, the cases of CSF vancomycin concentration of ≥ 10 mg/L accounted for 18.2%, 84.8% and 100% of these three groups, respectively. CSF vancomycin concentrations mostly reached target level when dose of vancomycin administered locally were 20 mg/L or more. CONCLUSIONS It is difficult to reach target CSF vancomycin concentration for critically ill neurosurgical patients with or without CNS infection by IV treatment. Local administration is an effective treatment regimen to increase CSF vancomycin concentration.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate trough serum vancomycin concentrations and identify their influencing factors in critically ill neurosurgical patients. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted. Adult patients who received vancomycin with at least one appropriate monitoring of trough serum vancomycin concentration and admitted to neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from November 2017 to July 2019 were enrolled. General information including gender, age, comorbidities, etc., trough serum vancomycin concentrations, vancomycin dosage, duration of vancomycin therapy, urine output, serum creatinine (SCr), concurrent medications (including mannitol,diuretic, vasopressors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, polymyxin, aminoglycosides and contrast medium, etc.) were collected for analysis. Trough serum vancomycin concentrations were evaluated and their influencing factors were analyzed by multiple linear regression method. RESULTS: In total, 81 trough serum vancomycin concentration data sets obtained from 28 patients were evaluated. (1) The initial daily dose of vancomycin was 2.00 (2.00, 2.00) g/d. After 4-6 doses, the trough serum vancomycin concentration obtained from initial blood draw was 10.99 (6.98, 16.25) mg/L, of which only 17.9% (5/28) achieving targeted concentrations (15-20 mg/L), 71.4% (20/28) subtherapeutic level and 10.7% (3/28) supratherapeutic level. (2) The duration of vancomycin therapy was 8.0 (6.0, 15.0) days. With average daily dose of 2.00 (1.75, 3.00) g/d, targeted trough vancomycin concentrations were achieved in only 30.9% (25/81) of all cases, subtherapeutic concentrations in 49.4% (40/81) and supratherapeutic concentrations in 19.7% (16/81). (3) There were significant differences in age, comorbidities, vancomycin dosage, diuretics use and mannitol dosage, etc. among different vancomycin concentration groups. Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that the trough serum vancomycin concentration increased by 0.14 mg/L [95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.06-0.22] for every 1 year increase in age, increased by 7.22 mg/L (95%CI was 2.08-12.36) in patients with multiple comorbidities (concomitant hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease) compared with those without comorbidities, increased by 2.78 mg/L (95%CI was 0.20-5.35) in patients treated with diuretics compared with those without diuretics. The effect of other variables was not statistically significant. It suggested that age, multiple comorbidities (concomitant hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease), and diuretic usage affected trough serum vancomycin concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Targeted trough serum vancomycin level is not often achieved in neurosurgical ICU patients following standard dosing. Younger patients are associated with lower trough serum vancomycin concentrations, while diuretic usage, combined with multiple comorbidities are associated with higher trough serum vancomycin concentrations.
