Skin wound repair is critically regulated by peripheral nerves. Injury or dysfunction of these nerves represents a key factor impairing the healing of pathological wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and deep burns. The mechanisms by which peripheral nerves participate in cutaneous wound healing primarily involve modulation of immune responses, construction of stem cell niches, and promotion of angiogenesis. Sensory neurons initiate and mediate essential local immune responses, contribute to the epidermal stem cell microenvironment, and support regenerative potential. Sympathetic nerves bidirectionally regulate immune homeostasis via the release of various neuromodulators and precisely control the activation of hair follicle stem cells as well as the homeostasis of melanocyte stem cells. Schwann cells also play pivotal roles in immune modulation, balancing repair processes and mitigating scar formation. During revascularization, sensory and autonomic nerve terminals release neurotransmitters that precisely regulate vasomotor activity and angiogenesis, while Schwann cells facilitate the reconstruction of functional vascular networks via potent paracrine signaling. This review systematically summarizes the crucial roles of peripheral nerves in skin wound repair, with emphasis on their regulatory mechanisms in immune responses, stem cell activation and homeostasis, and vascular dynamics, thereby providing insights into the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting peripheral nerve regulation.

Objective:To explore the association between the use of tetracyclines during pregnancy and congenital malformations, with the aim of providing evidence-based guidance for the rational use of antibiotics during pregnancy.Methods:Data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and the Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction (CVAR) database from January 2015 to September 2024 were collected. Five methods including Tree-based scan statistic (TreeScan), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR), the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) comprehensive standard, and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) were used to detect signals of risk for congenital malformations in offspring following maternal use of tetracyclines during pregnancy. A signal that met the threshold criteria of all above 5 methods was considered as a risk signal. Based on population-based cohort of the drug exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes (DEEP) data from January 2013 to December 2021 in Xiamen City, propensity score matching (PSM)-based Poisson regression was applied to evaluate the association between the first-trimester tetracyclines exposure and congenital malformations in offspring. Adjusted relative risk (a RR) and its 95% confidence interval ( CI) were calculated. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to validate the reliability of the results. Results:A total of 304 098 reports of adverse events during pregnancy were obtained from the FAERS and CVAR databases. Among them, 5 028 reports were related to tetracyclines, including 1 026 reports of congenital malformations in offspring, involving congenital malformations of musculoskeletal system, other digestive system, and other congenital malformations. Signal detection results suggested that tetracyclines may be a risk signal for above congenital malformations in offspring. The DEEP data included 411 936 pregnant women. After PSM, 240 pregnant women exposed to tetracyclines were included. The results showed no significant association between the first-trimester tetracyclines exposure and congenital malformations in offspring (a RR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.26-2.17), sensitivity analysis also showed no correlation. Conclusions:Data mining from the FAERS and CVAR databases suggests a potential association between tetracyclines use during pregnancy and congenital malformations in offspring. However, the DEEP data study shows no significant correlation.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the rational use of antiemetic drugs in tumor chemotherapy patients. METHODS The data of tumor patients who were given antiemetic drugs were collected from 9 departments of our hospital with hospital information system from Oct. 1st to Nov. 30th in 2022， such as oncology department， radiotherapy department， gynecology department， and gastroenterology department. The application of chemotherapy drugs and the use of antiemetic drugs were analyzed statistically， and the irrational use of antiemetic drugs was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 520 patients were included， involving 248 （47.69%） using chemotherapy drugs with a moderate emetogenic risk level and 135 （25.96%） with a high emetogenic risk level. A total of 461 cases （73.06%） of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3-receptor antagonists were used， including palonosetron in 333 cases， ondansetron in 106 cases， tropisetron in 15 cases and granisetron in 7 cases， and only 148 cases of patients were prioritized for the use of nationally procured medicines and national essential medicines （32.10%）. Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists were used in 170 cases （26.94%）， including fosaprepitant in 112 cases and aprepitant in 58 cases. The use of antiemetic drugs was unreasonable in 162 patients （31.15%）； among the types of irrational drugs， the antiemetic regimen was unreasonable in the largest number of cases （22.40%）， followed by the irrational pharmacoeconomics （19.13%）. CONCLUSIONS The emetogenic risk levels of chemotherapy drugs used for tumor patients in our hospital are primarily moderate to high， and there is irrational use of antiemetic regimen and pharmacoeconomics. Clinicians， nurses， pharmacists and hospital departments should collaborate as multiple teams to strengthen full supervision of the standardization of antiemetic drugs， reasonably select antiemetic drugs based on emetogenicity rating， and improve the compliance of doctors with the guidelines to ensure the safety， effectiveness， and cost-effective of patient medication.

Objective:To explore the prevalence, clinical features, genetic characteristics and prognosis of Citrin deficiency in Henan province of China.Methods:A total of 986 565 neonates screened by tandem mass spectrometry at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Analysis of SLC25A13 gene variants and parental verification were carried out for neonates suspected for Citrin deficiency by next-generation sequencing. The clinical, biochemical and genetic characteristics of Citrin deficiency patients were integrated to guide the diet treatment and follow up the growth and development. Paired- t test was used to compare the amino acid levels in the peripheral blood samples before and after the treatment. Results:Nine cases of Citrin deficiency were diagnosed among the 986 565 neonates. Specific elevation of citrulline was observed in all of the 9 cases. Six variants were detected by genetic sequencing, among which c. 852_855delTATG, c. 615+ 5G>A, c. 550C>T and IVS16ins3kb were known pathogenic variants, whilst c. 1111_1112delAT and c. 837T>A were unreported previously. The detection rate for c. 852_855delTATG was the highest (61.6%, 11/18), followed by IVS16ins3kb (16.7%, 3/18). The clinical symptoms of all patients were relieved after the treatment, and the blood amino acid profile and biochemical parameters were significantly improved by gradually falling within the normal range. By June 2022, all patients had shown a good prognosis.Conclusion:The prevalence of Citrin deficiency among neonates from Henan Province by tandem mass spectrometry is 1/109 618, and the carrier rate for the pathogenic variants of the SLC25A13 gene was 1/166. The c. 852_855delTATG may be a hot spot variant among the patients. Discovery of the novel variants has enriched the mutational spectrum of the SLC25A13 gene. Above results have provided a basis for the early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and genetic counseling for the affected families.

Acetaminophen is currently the most widely used antipyretic analgesics in clinical practice. The conventional dose of acetaminophen is safe and reliable, and long-term use in large quantities can cause damage to important organs. In recent years, some new safety issues of acetaminophen have been found, such as its possibility to increase blood pressure in patients with hypertension, its association with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality with sodium-containing acetaminophen, the discovery of multiple biomarkers for predicting and diagnosing acetaminophen-related liver injury and its prognosis, and its possibility to increase the risk of kidney injury. The safety prevention strategies for important organ injuries related to acetaminophen include strict restrictions on medication dosage and duration, and attention to medication safety for special populations. For patients who have experienced significant organ damages, their causal relationship should be evaluated, acetaminophen should be stopped, and specific treatment, and symptomatic and supportive treatments should be provided.

Hemorrhage after prostate biopsy is common, but hemorrhagic shock is rare. We reported a case of sudden severe hematuria on the third day after prostate biopsy, which was considered to be bleeding at the puncture site. Conservative treatment was ineffective, and interventional embolization was performed. Bilateral bulbar urethral arteries were embolized, and the bleeding was stopped successfully. On the 4th day after embolization, the patient developed hypovolemic shock. Angiography showed bilateral prostatic artery bleeding, and the bleeding site and its superior branch arteries were embolized immediately. At 4 months after embolization, no bleeding related events occurred.

Objective:To construct a C57BL/6 mouse model of simulating transurethral thulium laser vaporization prostatectomy.Methods:Twelve male C57BL/6 mice were selected to undergo transvesical vaporization resection of the urothelium covering the urethra of the prostate using thulium laser. The urethral tissue of the prostate was retrieved on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days after the surgery. HE staining was used to observe the process of re-epithelialization of the urethral wound of the prostate. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was used to detect whether the re-epithelialized cells of the urethral wound of the prostate expressed urothelin Ⅲ (UPⅢ).Results:On the first day after surgery, HE staining showed complete destruction to the urothelium covering the urethra of the prostate, with a large amount of coagulative necrotic tissue on the wound surface, and IHC staining showed no expression of UPⅢ on the wound surface. On the 3rd day after surgery, HE staining showed that there were still no regenerated epithelial cells on the wound surface, with coagulation necrosis tissue significantly reduced, and the urethral cavity was clearly visible. And IHC staining showed no expression of UPⅢ on the wound surface. On the 5th day after surgery, HE staining showed 1-2 layers of regenerated epithelial cells lacking cell polarity on the wound surface, and IHC staining showed that the regenerated epithelial cells expressed UPⅢ. On the 7th day after surgery, HE staining showed 4-6 layers of polar regenerated epithelial cells on the wound surface, and IHC staining showed the multiple layers of regenerated epithelial cells expressing UPⅢ.Conclusions:Based on the simulation of transurethral thulium laser vaporization resection of the prostate, the thulium laser and ultra micro endoscope system were used to vaporize the urothelium covering the urethra of the prostate, and the process of urethral re-epithelialization of the prostate can be observed after surgery. The establishment of the C57BL/6 mouse model simulating thulium laser vaporization prostatectomy provides a new research platform for studying the mechanism of wound repair after prostatectomy.
