Objective To mine and conduct comparative analysis for hepatic dysfunction adverse events of voriconazole and other antifungal drugs,based on the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database,and provide reference for clinical practice.Methods Data from January 2004 to March 2022 in FAERS were retrieved.We estimate the association between the hepatic dysfunction events and voriconazole using reporting odds ratio(ROR)for mining the adverse drug event report signals and compare voriconazole with the full database and other antifungal drugs.Results A total of 646 reports of hepatic dysfunction related to voriconazole as the primary suspect drug were collected totally.The median time to event of the hepatic dysfunction events was 8 d.The overall ROR 95%confidence interval(CI)for hepatic-related adverse drug events was 6.82(95%CI=6.26-7.42).Comparing to other antifungal drugs,voriconazole significantly increased the risk of hepatic dysfunction compared with fluconazole,isavuconazole and amphotericin B,with RORs of 2.19(95%CI=1.94-2.47),2.31(95%CI=1.66-3.22)and 1.26(95%CI=1.08-1.48).The top 10 adverse event signals are cholestasis,hepatic cytolysis,mixed liver injury,hepatitis cholestatic,blood alkaline phosphatase increased,γ-glutamyltransferase increased,hepatic function abnormal,hepatocellular injury,liver function test abnormal and hepatosplenomegaly,and all of them have great correlation with voriconazole(ROR>5).Conclusion Voriconazole is closely related to hepatic dysfunction,indicating that clinical attention should be paid to patients'hepatic function indicators during medication.Since the risk of hepatic dysfunction caused by voriconazole depends on several factors including the underlying disease of the patient and the exposure level of the drugs,close clinical and laboratory monitoring,including therapeutic drug monitoring,are essential to prevent or promptly recognize further deterioration of the hepatic function.

Objective To investigate changes in the urinary metabolite profiles of children exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)during critical brain development and explore their potential link with the intestinal microbiota. Methods Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine ten hydroxyl metabolites of PAHs(OH-PAHs)in 36-month-old children.Subsequently,37 children were categorized into low-and high-exposure groups based on the sum of the ten OH-PAHs.Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to identify non-targeted metabolites in the urine samples.Furthermore,fecal flora abundance was assessed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing using Illumina MiSeq. Results The concentrations of 21 metabolites were significantly higher in the high exposure group than in the low exposure group(variable importance for projection>1,P<0.05).Most of these metabolites were positively correlated with the hydroxyl metabolites of naphthalene,fluorine,and phenanthrene(r=0.336-0.531).The identified differential metabolites primarily belonged to pathways associated with inflammation or proinflammatory states,including amino acid,lipid,and nucleotide metabolism.Additionally,these distinct metabolites were significantly associated with specific intestinal flora abundances(r=0.34-0.55),which were mainly involved in neurodevelopment. Conclusion Higher PAH exposure in young children affected metabolic homeostasis,particularly that of certain gut microbiota-derived metabolites.Further investigation is needed to explore the potential influence of PAHs on the gut microbiota and their possible association with neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors for catheter-associated infection(CAI)in chemotherapy treated patients after indwelling peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)based on a random forest model.Methods 400 tumor patients who received chemotherapy and PICC were selected and divided into the training set(n=300)and the test set(n=100)in a 3∶1 ratio through computer-generated random number.Patients in the training set were subdivided into the non-infection group and the infection group based on the occurrence of infec-tion.Clinical data from two groups of patients were compared.Influencing factors for the occurrence of CAI after PICC were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression model and the integrated classification algorithm of random forest model,and the predictive performance of the two methods was compared.Results Among 300 chemotherapy treated patients in the training set,32 cases(10.67%)experienced CAI.Compared with the non-infection group,patients in the infection group had more single punctures for catheterization,longer PICC retention time,larger pro-portion of catheter movement,larger proportion of complication with diabetes,higher frequency of dressing chan-ges,lower white blood cell count and immune function(all P<0.05).PICC retention time,catheter movement,complication with diabetes,dressing change frequency,white blood cell(WBC)and immune function were inde-pendent influencing factors for CAI after PICC(all P<0.05).The random forest model showed that ranking by the importance of different influencing factors was as following:PICC retention time,catheter movement,complication with diabetes,WBC,dressing change frequency and immune function.The integrated classification algorithm of random forest model for predicting the occurrence of CAI in chemotherapy treated patients showed that the area un-der the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)was 0.872,which had better prediction performance compared with the logistic regression model(AUC=0.791).Conclusion PICC retention time,catheter movement,complicated with diabetes,dressing change frequency,WBC level and immune function are independent influencing factors for CAI in chemotherapy treated patients.The integrated classification algorithm of random forest model can be used to predict CAI in chemotherapy treated patients,and its prediction performance is better than that of the logistic regression model.

Objective To investigate the status of neurodevelopmental catch-up and suitable correction termination age in preterm infants of different gestational ages. Methods A total of 918 preterm infants without significant high-risk factors who attended the outpatient service of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 1,2018 to March 1,2023 were included. The data on developmental quotient (DQ) in Gesell Developmental Schedule (GDS) were collected,while 6684 full-term infants were included as controls. According to the gestational age,the infants were divided into preterm groups (early preterm,moderate preterm,and late preterm births) and a full-term group,and these groups were compared in terms of DQ of each functional area and its changing trend with 48 months of chronological age. Results The DQ values of all functional areas showed a catch-up trend from 6 months to 48 months of chronological age in each preterm group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the DQ values of all functional areas between the late preterm and full-term groups at the chronological age of 36 months (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the DQ values of most functional areas between the moderately/early preterm groups and the full-term group at the chronological age of 36 months (P<0.05),but no significant differences were found in the DQ values of all functions areas at the chronological age of 48 months (P>0.05). Conclusions The correction termination age for neurodevelopment in preterm infants may need to extend beyond 36 months,and the smaller the gestational age,the longer the time required for correction.
