Objective: To report severe hemolytic adverse reactions caused by intravenous infusion of human immunoglobulin (IVIG) in a child, and to alert clinical staff to be aware of IVIG-associated hemolytic reactions to ensure transfusion safety in pediatric populations. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a case of severe hemolytic reaction following high-dose IVIG infusion in a pediatric patient with severe pneumonia. Results: Following high-dose IVIG infusion, severe hemolytic adverse reactions developed, clinically manifesting as decreased hemoglobin, progressively elevated bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and gradual hepatomegaly. IgG antibodies were detected in the patient's erythrocytes and plasma. Conclusion: When patients passively acquire IgG antibodies through IVIG infusion, timely monitoring of antibody titers in vivo is critical. For subsequent transfusions, red blood cell products that lack the corresponding antigens should be selected to mitigate hemolysis. Clinicians should remain vigilant against rare but severe hemolytic adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae （CRKP） infection， develop a nomogram prediction model and validate it. METHODS Clinical data of hospitalized patients infected with CRKP between April 2020 and May 2023 at Kunming First People’s Hospital were retrospectively collected and matched 1∶1 with patients infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae （CSKP） during the same period as the modeling group. Using the same criteria， data from patients hospitalized and infected with CRKP and matched CSKP between June 2023 and June 2024 were collected as the validation group. Univariate analysis， LASSO regression and multivariate Logistic regression were conducted to identify independent risk factors for CRKP infection and to develop a nomogram prediction model. Internal validation of the model was performed using Bootstrap resampling， and external validation was carried out using the data of validation group. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves and calibration plots. RESULTS A total of 530 patients were enrolled， with 372 in the modeling group and 158 in the validation group. Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agents were identified as independent risk factors for CRKP infection （P＜0.05）. The nomogram predicting CRKP infection risk achieved an area under ROC of 0.729 and 0.803 in internal and external validations， respectively. Calibration curves indicated a high degree of consistency between predicted and observed probabilities. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agent are independent risk factors for CRKP infection. The developed nomogram model for predicting CRKP infection risk demonstrates good predictive performance and can aid in the early identification of patients at high risk for CRKP infection.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Radiation pneumonitis is a major complication in lung cancer radiotherapy. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) imaging provides dynamic ventilation information, which is valuable for lung function assessment and radiation pneumonitis prevention. Many methods have been developed to calculate lung ventilation from 4DCT, but a systematic comparison is lacking. Prediction of radiation pneumonitis using 4DCT-based ventilation is still in an early stage, and no comprehensive review exists. This paper presented the first systematic comparison of functional lung ventilation algorithms based on 4DCT over the past 15 years, highlighting their clinical value and limitations. It then reviewed multimodal approaches combining 4DCT ventilation imaging, dose metrics, and clinical data for radiation pneumonitis prediction. Finally, it summarized current research and future directions of 4DCT in lung cancer radiotherapy, offering insights for clinical practice and further studies.

Loss-of-function variants in CSDE1 have been strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, yet the precise role of CSDE1 in neurogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that knockout of Csde1 during cortical development in mice results in impaired neural progenitor proliferation, leading to abnormal cortical lamination and embryonic lethality. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Csde1 upregulates the transcription of genes involved in the cell cycle network. Applying a dual thymidine-labelling approach, we further revealed prolonged cell cycle durations of neuronal progenitors in Csde1-knockout mice, with a notable extension of the G1 phase. Intersection with CLIP-seq data demonstrated that Csde1 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA transcripts encoding cell cycle genes. Particularly, we uncovered that Csde1 directly binds to the 3' UTR of mRNA transcripts encoding Cdk6, a pivotal gene in regulating the transition from the G1 to S phases of the cell cycle, thereby maintaining its stability. Collectively, this study elucidates Csde1 as a novel regulator of Cdk6, sheds new light on its critical roles in orchestrating brain development, and underscores how mutations in Csde1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders.

[Objective] To compare the characteristics of platelet-rich plasma derived exosomes (PRP-Exos) under different activation conditions and their differential effects on the proliferation capacit of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) and human skin fibroblasts (BJ). [Methods] Ten healthy volunteers were recruited, and 10 mL of venous blood anticoagulated with EDTA-K2 was collected. PRP-Exos were prepared and extracted by the secondary centrifugation method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and Western blotting (WB) detection techniques were used to compare the morphological characteristics, particle size distribution, concentration, and the expression of surface marker proteins of PRP-Exos. Through in vitro cell culture, the differences in morphological changes and proliferation abilities of HMEC-1 and BJ cells induced by PRP-Exos in different activator groups were compared. [Results] 1) TEM observation showed that the morphologies of PRP-Exos in different activator groups were different. 2) NTA analysis showed that compared with the particle size of (109.60±2.71) nm in the normal saline group, the particle sizes of the thrombin group [(104.93±1.55) nm] and the mixed agent group [(103.83±1.58) nm] were relatively smaller, while the particle size of the calcium gluconate group [(113.57±4.70) nm] was larger and its particle size distribution range was wider. There were statistically significant differences among different groups (F=7.019, P<0.05). The concentration of exosomes obtained in the group with the mixture of calcium gluconate and thrombin was the highest [(4.87±0.63)×10⁶ particles/mL, P<0.001]. Both the thrombin group [(2.75±0.13)×10⁶ particles/mL, P < 0.01] and the calcium gluconate group [(3.82±0.06)×10⁶ particles/mL, P<0.001] obtained higher concentrations of exosomes compared with the normal saline group. The concentration in the calcium gluconate group was slightly higher than that in the thrombin group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). 3) WB analysis showed that CD41, CD81, and TSG101 were expressed on the surface of PRP-Exos, and the protein signal intensities of CD41 and TSG101 in the group with the mixture of thrombin and calcium gluconate were the strongest (P<0.001). 4) The results of in vitro cell culture showed that PRP-Exos in the group with the mixture of thrombin and calcium gluconate could significantly promote the proliferation of HMEC-1 and BJ cells (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The PRP treated with the thrombin and calcium gluconate mixture group yielded the highest concentration of exosomes; under in vitro culture conditions, PRP-Exos from this group significantly promoted the proliferation of HMEC-1 and BJ cells.

OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can result in fatigue and post-exertional malaise; however, whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection exacerbates lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is unclear. This study investigated the association between prenatal SARS-CoV-2 infection and postpartum LUTS. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted at two tertiary hospitals in China from November 1, 2022, to November 1, 2023. Participants were classified into infected and uninfected groups based on SARS-CoV-2 antigen results. LUTS prevalence and severity were assessed using self-reported symptoms and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7). Pelvic floor muscle activity was measured using electromyography following the Glazer protocol. Group comparisons were performed to evaluate the association of SARS-CoV-2 infection with LUTS and electromyography parameters, with stratified analyses conducted using SPSS version 26.0. RESULTS: Among 3,652 participants (681 infected, 2,971 uninfected), no significant differences in LUTS prevalence or IIQ-7 scores were observed. However, SARS-CoV-2 infection was an independent factor influencing the electromyographic activity of the pelvic floor muscles (mean tonic contraction amplitudes), regardless of delivery mode ( P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Prenatal SARS-CoV-2 infection was not significantly associated with an increased risk of postpartum LUTS but independently altered pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity, suggesting potential neuromuscular effects.

OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive accuracy and clinical applicability of four vancomycin individualized dosing tools （SmartDose， ClinCalc， Gulou， Pharmado） and provide a basis for rational clinical medication use. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted， enrolling 479 adult patients who received vancomycin therapy and underwent steady-state trough concentration monitoring in Zhongshan Hospital， Fudan University （Xiamen Branch） from January 1， 2022， to June 30， 2024. The predictive accuracy of each tool was evaluated using indicators， such as mean error （ME）, mean absolute error （MAE）， mean percentage error （MPE）， mean absolute percentage error （MAPE）， the proportion of patients with an absolute percentage error （APE） of less than 30%， the 95% limits of agreement， and the overall relative percentage difference between predicted and measured values. Using indicators such as accessibility， patient management， and recommendation of multiple treatment options， the clinical panxso@163.com applicability of the tools for all patients was evaluated； using the discrepancy in accuracy between the predicted and actual measured blood drug concentrations as an indicator， the clinical applicability was assessed for patients in different renal function subgroups （hyperfunction， normal， mild impairment， moderate impairment， and severe impairment）. RESULTS In terms of accuracy， SmartDose demonstrated the best overall performance with an MAPE of 46.40% and a proportion of APE ＜30% （46.56%）. Bland-Altman analysis indicated that SmartDose had the smallest overall relative percentage difference （－7.25%）， although the 95% limits of agreement were broad for all tools， with differences between the upper and lower limits exceeding 200%. In terms of applicability， all four dosing tools were freely accessible and demonstrated good availability； SmartDose and Pharmado provided the most comprehensive solutions， offering features such as patient management， multiple regimen recommendations， and drug concentration-time curve plotting. Stratified analysis based on renal function revealed that Pharmado showed optimal prediction for hyperfiltration patients （mean difference： 0.11 mg/L）. SmartDose and ClinCalc showed relatively better performance in normal and mild renal impaiment （mean difference： 0.37， 0.51 mg/L and －1.13， －1.33 mg/L，respectively）. SmartDose performed best in moderate renal impairment （mean difference： －2.60 mg/L）. Pharmado and Gulou had smaller prediction biases in severe renal impairment （mean differences： 1.52 mg/L and －0.23 mg/L， respectively）. CONCLUSIONS The four individualized dosing tools demonstrated limited accuracy in the initial prediction of vancomycin concentrations. Among them， SmartDose demonstrates the highest overall prediction accuracy and possesses comprehensive clinical management features. It is recommended that Pharmado be preferred for patients with renal hyperfiltration； SmartDose or ClinCalc can be used for patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function； SmartDose is recommended for patients with moderately impaired renal function； Pharmado or Gulou may be considered for patients with severely impaired renal function.
