The Hazardous Drug Exposure Management: Information for Healthcare Settings (2023 Edition) released by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of US provided detailed protection recommendations for medical personnel to mitigate the risks of occupational exposure to hazardous drugs. This study reviewed the literature in terms of hazard identification, occupational exposure assessment, risk assessment, risk management planning, and waste and spill control. It also explored the precautions for each step of hazardous drug handling, aiming to raise medical personnel's awareness of hazardous drug protection and improve their self-protection skills. The findings provided valuable references for medical institutions to develop hazardous drug disposal plans and reduce employees' exposure to hazardous drugs and occupational injuries.

ObjectiveTo investigate the contamination status, transmission risk and drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) on the object surfaces in the surrounding environment of hospitalized patients infected with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) , so as to provide a scientific guidance for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infection. MethodsSamples from the surfaces of objects in the surrounding environment of CRKP infected patients living in the intensive care unit (ICU) and hand specimens from healthcare workers were collected for KP isolation and identification, as well as drug susceptible test in a medical institution located in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2021 to 2023. Additionally, both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the influencing factors associated with KP contamination in the hospital environment. ResultsA total of 546 surface samples were collected from the surrounding environment objects of 15 patients infected with CRKP, with a KP detection rate of 6.59% (36/546).The KP detection rate in the ICU of general ward (10.22%) was higher than that in the ICU of emergency department (2.94%) (χ²=12.142, P<0.001). Moreover, the KP detection rate on the surfaces of patient-contacted items (15.66%) was higher than that on shared-use items (6.25%), cleaning items (10.00%), and medical supplies (3.30%) (χ²=17.943, P<0.001). Besides, the detection rate of KP in items sent out of hospital for disinfection (15.38%) was higher than that in those self-disinfected (4.20%) (χ²=19.996, P<0.001).The highest detection rate of KP was observed in high-temperature washing (15.13%, 18/119) (χ²=21.219, P<0.001), while the lowest detection rate was observed in antibacterial hand sanitizer with trichlorohydroxydiphenyl ether sanitizing factor (0, 0/60) ( χ²=21.219, P<0.001).The detection rate of KP in samples taken more than 24 hours after the last disinfection (23.08%) was higher than that in those taken at 4 to24 hours (12.90%) and less than 4 hours (4.22%) (χ²=23.398,P<0.001).ICU of general ward (OR=4.045, 95%CI: 2.206‒7.416), patient-contacted items (OR=3.113, 95%CI: 1.191‒8.141), and self-disinfection ( OR=0.241, 95%CI:0.144‒0.402) were influencing factors for KP contamination in environmental surface. From 2021 to 2023, the drug resistance rates of hospital environmental KP isolates showed an upward trend (P<0.001) to antibiotics such as ceftazidime and gentamicin. Furthermore, high drug resistance rates of KP (>90%) were observed to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and cefepime. ConclusionCRKP can be transmitted outward through the surfaces of objects in the patients’ surroundings, and the drug resistance situation is severe. In clinical settings, it is necessary to implement isolation measures for CRKP infection patients, to increase the frequency of disinfection for objects in their surroundings, to strengthen hand hygiene practices, and to use antibiotics appropriately.

Objective: To investigate the correlation among α2, 6-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal-Ⅰ), CD36 desialylation, and caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in phorbol ester (PMA)-induced MEG-01 cell model, as well as their potential mechanism in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Methods: MEG-01 cells were treated with 10 ng/mL PMA for 48 hours (control group: 0.1% DMSO). Flow cytometry was used to detect cell surface markers: desialylation (CD41 RCA ) and α2, 6-sialylation (CD41 SNA ). Western blot was performed to analyze the protein expressions of ST6Gal-Ⅰ, CD36, and Cav-1. Results: Flow cytometry analysis revealed that, compared with the control group (set as 100%), the proportion of CD41 RCA positive cells in the MEG-01 cells after PMA intervention significantly increased to (127.79±2.01)%, while the proportion of CD41 SNA positive cells significantly decreased to (78.09±1.76)% (both P<0.05). Western blot analysis results showed that, compared with the control group, PMA intervention significantly downregulated the expression of ST6Gal-Ⅰ protein (0.602±0.023 vs 0.768±0.068) and Cav-1 protein (1.012±0.028 vs 1.253±0.068) (both P<0.05), while significantly upregulating the expression of CD36 protein (0.936±0.033 vs 0.694±0.070, P<0.05). Conclusion: PMA can significantly inhibit the expression of ST6Gal-Ⅰ, accompanied by increased desialylation (β-galactose exposure), elevated CD36, and downregulated Cav-1. These changes suggest that the increased exposure of CD36 antigen and the disorder of membrane microenvironment may be involved in the pathological process of ITP, providing a new direction for mechanism research.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of cardamomine(CAR)on anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in rats by regulating the pyroptosis mediated by Notch/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signal pathway.Methods The rat model of cardiotoxicity was established by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin(DOX).The model rats were randomly divided into DOX group,CAR-L group,CAR-H group and Jagged1 group.Another 10 rats were taken as the control group.The control group and the DOX group were given the same amount of 0.9％NaCl.The CAR-L group and CAR-H group were given 40 and 80 mg·kg-1 CAR by gavage,respectively.The Jagged1 group was given 80 mg·kg-1 CAR+and 25 ng·kg-1 Jagged1 by gavage once a day for 4 weeks.Myocardial injury markers creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB)and troponin Ⅰ(cTn Ⅰ)were detected by kit.The expression of pyroptosis protein Nod-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)and desquamate D(GSDM-D)were observed by immunohistochemistry.The expression of Notch1 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65)protein in myocardial tissue was detected by Western blotting.Results The levels of CK-MB in control group,DOX group,CAR-L group,CAR-H group and Jagged1 group were(48.51±5.39),(175.93±13.27),(106.83±9.73),(83.71±8.39)and(126.08±9.74)U·L-1;the levels of cTn Ⅰ were(1.95±0.18),(12.46±1.83),(7.15±0.64),(4.13±0.38)and(8.01±0.78)ng·mL-1;the average optical density of NLRP3 protein were 0.19±0.07,0.36±0.05,0.25±0.05,0.21±0.03 and 0.31±0.06;the average optical density of GSDM-D were 0.18±0.04,0.43±0.06,0.24±0.03,0.19±0.04 and 0.32±0.05.There were significant differences in the above indexes between DOX group and control group(all P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the above indexes between CAR-L group,CAR-H group and DOX group(all P＜0.05),and there were significant differences between CAR-L group and CAR-H group(all P＜0.05).The above indexes in Jagged1 group were significantly different from those in CAR-H group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion CAR can improve myocardial injury in DOX cardiotoxic rats,reduce oxidative stress,inflammatory reaction and pyroptosis,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Notch/NF-κB pathway.

Autophagy is mediated by multiple molecules and pathways. In cardiovascular diseases， autophagy can play a role through key signaling pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mTOR， mitogen-activated protein kinases （MAPK）， p53， Wnt/β-catenin， etc. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） monomers for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis such as hydroxysafflor yellow A， ginsenoside Rb1， salidroside， ligustrin， curcumin， etc.， and TCM prescription and preparations such as Huangqi baoxin decoction， Taohong siwu decoction， Tongxinluo capsule， Shuangshen ningxin capsule， Suxiao jiuxin pills， etc. can regulate autophagy through the above-mentioned key signaling pathways， thereby alleviating the progression of cardiovascular diseases.

The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) continues to rise, and there are no effective drugs to treat it. The immune microenvironment plays an important role in the development of ICC and is currently a research hotspot. Icaritin (ICA) is an innovative traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It is considered to have potential immunoregulatory and anti-tumor effects, which is potentially consistent with the understanding of "Fuzheng" in the treatment of tumor in traditional Chinese medicine. However, whether ICA can be used to treat ICC has not been reported. Therefore, in this study, sgp19/kRas, an in situ ICC mouse model with intact immune system, was selected to evaluate the efficacy of ICA in the treatment of ICC in vivo for the first time, and the effects of ICA on the tumor immune microenvironment of ICC mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. This experiment was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Capital Medical University (approval number: AEEI-2023-138). In this study, sgp19/kRas ICC mouse model was treated with oral gavage of 100 mg·kg^-1 ICA. We found that ICA significantly inhibited tumor growth and tumor cell proliferation in the sgp19/kRas ICC mouse model after 3 weeks of treatment. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that ICA treatment markedly reduced the proportion of M2 macrophages and increased the number of CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ICA promoted macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype while inhibiting polarization towards the M2 phenotype. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis suggested that ICA enhanced Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) expression, influencing macrophage nitric oxide metabolism synthesis pathways and receptor-related activities, thereby regulating macrophage polarization. In summary, this study demonstrates that ICA treatment significantly delays tumor progression in sgp19/kRas ICC mouse models. Mechanistically, ICA may achieve its anti-ICC effects by upregulating TLR9 receptor expression levels, promoting macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype, and altering the tumor immune microenvironment.

Objective:To develop an efficient and robust method based on three dimensional facial landmarks for evaluating chin region asymmetry at the soft tissue level and to compare it with the tradi-tional mirror-overlap analysis method in order to test its availability.Methods:Standard symmetrical face was used for mental tubercle coordinate transformation so as to filter soft tissue three dimensional spatial angle and construct corresponding three dimensional spatial angle wireframe template.Ten patients aged 12-32 years with clinical chin region asymmetry diagnosis at the Department of Orthodontics of Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from November 2020 to November 2021 were randomly selected.Three dimensional soft tissue face scan data of the patients were collected by three dimensional face scanner and the landmark points were automatically determined by the Meshmonk non-rigid registration algorithm pro-gram,and in this way,the asymmetric three dimensional spatial angle wireframe template and corre-sponding spatial angle parameters were generated.Mirror-overlap analysis of face scan data was also per-formed in Geomagic Studio 2015 software and deviation color maps were generated.This study took mirror-overlap analysis as the gold standard method,the response rate of chin region asymmetry was eva-luated by the outcomes of the mirror-overlap analysis and three dimensional spatial angle wireframe tem-plate analysis.Results:Nine three dimensional spatial angle indicators were selected through coordinate transformation,and the response rate was calculated using mirror-overlap analysis as the gold standard method.Among these ten selected patients,the response rate of the total chin region asymmetry was 90％(9/10).Using the deviation value of mirror-overlap analysis as a reference,the response rate of chin region asymmetry in the X dimension was 86％,the response rate of chin region asymmetry in the Y dimension was 89％,and the response rate of chin region asymmetry in the Z dimension was 100％.Conclusion:The three dimensional soft tissue spatial angle wireframe template proposed in this study has some feasibility in evaluating chin region asymmetry at the soft tissue level,and its ability to recognize asymmetry separately in the three dimensional direction is better than the mirror-overlap analysis method,and the indicators recognition rate still needs to be further improved.

Microneedles can penetrate the skin barrier to deliver drugs without touching the nociceptive nerves， to effectively increase the efficiency of transdermal drug delivery and improve patient compliance. Exosomes have multiple physiological functions and good biocompatibility， and are natural nanoscale drug carriers. This paper reviews the pathways and advantages of exosomes combined with microneedles for the treatment of diseases， and describes the current research status of exosome microneedle drug delivery system in various diseases. Exosome microneedles can be divided into two categories： （1） exosomes as therapeutic agents， their unique physiological origin can effectively avoid the toxicity and immunogenicity of conventional drugs and other problems； combined with microneedles directly in the specific medication site can greatly improve the metabolic consumption of oral drug delivery and patient compliance of injection drug delivery. （2） Exosomes as drug carriers， their natural vesicle structure and endogenous characteristics can protect the metabolism of foreign drugs in the body and enhance the targeting； combined with microneedles can effectively solve the problem of transdermal delivery of drugs with high efficacy but poor stability. Exosome microneedle drug delivery system is still in the laboratory stage， but it has shown great development prospects in repairing spinal cord injury， promoting diabetic ulcer wound healing， germinating， intervening myocardial infraction， relieving chronic pain and other diseases.

Objective To explore the effects of optimized nutrition intervention scheme on nutritional status and clinical outcome during transplantation in the patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods Seventy inpatients with allo-HSCT in this hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the control group and intervention group by the random number table method,35 cases in each group.The control group conducted the conventional nutritional intervention and the intervention group conducted the optimized nutritional intervention.The nutri-tional indicators[body weight,patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA),energy and protein intake],levels of total protein (TP),albumin (ALB) and prealbumin (PA),hospitalization duration,hospitali-zation costs and adverse reactions occurrence were compared between the two groups.The differences in the nutritional status and clinical outcomes in the tow groups were comprehensively evaluated.Results Compared with the control group,the body weight decrease ranges in entering the laminar flow ward and on 60 d of transplantation in the intervention group were much less[3.10(1.10,4.80)kg vs. 4.30(3.10,6.70)kg;3.20 (1.00,5.50)kg vs. 4.15(3.33,7.88)kg],the PG-SGA score was lower[(10.43±3.25)points vs. (13.00±3.05) points],the PA level was higher[(189.63±51.29)mg/L vs. (163.83±48.03)mg/L],the energy and protein oral intakes were much more[(753.99±350.66)kcal vs. (539.96±247.65)kcal;(33.87±15.87)g vs. (20.43±12.57)g],the diarrhea occurrence rate was lower (14.3％ vs. 37.1％),and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Optimizing the nutritional intervention during allo-HSCT pe-riod is beneficial to improve the nutritional status of the patients,and reduce the incidence rate of adverse reac-tions.
