OBJECTIVE To provide references for the accurate identification and management of immune-related cutaneous adverse events (irCAEs) caused by durvalumab, and ensuring safe clinical drug use. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with gallbladder cancer who developed irCAEs caused by durvalumab. The clinical pharmacists systematically reviewed the patient’s past medical history and medication history, and assisted physicians in assessing the association between adverse drug reactions and administered drugs. Meanwhile, the clinical pharmacists conducted a graded assessment of the adverse reaction, proposed recommendations such as discontinuing durvalumab and adjusting the administration regimen of glucocorticoids, assisted physicians in restarting immunotherapy, and carried out medication education and other pharmaceutical care. RESULTS The occurrence of irCAEs in this patient was “highly likely” related to durvalumab and was classified as severe. The physicians adopted the clinical pharmacist’s opinion, and after symptomatic treatment, the patient’s skin symptoms improved, and discharged with medication. After the completion of glucocorticoid therapy for the patient, the physician restarted immunotherapy with tislelizumab, and no related adverse reactions occurred again in the patient. CONCLUSIONS Durvalumab can cause irCAEs such as severe skin maculopapular rash. In clinical practice, it is crucial to promptly identify and discontinue suspicious drugs, immediately implement effective symptomatic treatment measures, and actively resume immunotherapy to ensure the continuity and safety of the patient’s treatment.

OBJECTIVE:
To design a portable respiratory device for transporting premature infants and explore its application effect in the in-hospital transportation of extremely premature infants in primary hospitals.
METHODS:
A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. The extremely premature infants born and transferred to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with oxygen therapy support from May to October in 2023 were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group. The infants in the control group received respiratory support and in-hospital transportation using a traditional T-combination resuscitator connected to pure oxygen, and those in the observation group used a portable premature infant transport respiratory device designed and manufactured by medical staff to provide respiratory support and implement in-hospital transportation. The respiratory device for transporting premature infants is made of 304 stainless steel material, mainly consisting of a T-combination resuscitator, an air oxygen mixer, an air tank, a pure oxygen cylinder, a pressure reducing valve, a telescopic rod, a tray, a hook, a bottom plate, and four moving wheels, which can achieve precise control of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) during transportation. The achievement rate of first-time target pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2, achieving a target SpO2 of 0.90-0.95 was considered as meeting the standard) and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) after being transferred to the NICU, as well as the manpower expenditure and time required for transportation of pediatric patients between the two groups were observed.
RESULTS:
A total of 73 extremely premature infants were enrolled, including 38 in the control group and 35 in the observation group. There was no significant difference in the gender, gestational age at birth, birth weight, mode of delivery, Apgar score at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth, and oxygen therapy during the transportation between the two groups. The achievement rate of first-time target SpO2 after NICU in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [94.29% (33/35) vs. 26.32% (10/38), P < 0.05], the PaO2 control range was better [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 85.50±6.36 vs. 103.00±2.83, P < 0.05], manpower expenditure and time required for transportation were significantly reduced [manpower expenditure (number): 2.14±0.35 vs. 3.17±0.34, time required for transportation (minutes): 10.42±0.76 vs. 15.54±0.34, both P < 0.05].
CONCLUSIONS
The portable respiratory device for transporting premature infants is used for respiratory support during the transportation of extremely premature infants in primary hospitals. It can improve the achievement rate of target SpO2, control PaO2 within the target range, and avoid hypoxia or hyperoxia during transportation. The breathing apparatus is compact, easy to carry, can save labor resources and time during transport, is cost-effective, and is suitable for widespread application in primary hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of brucellosis in Heilongjiang Province, Jilin Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (hereafter referred to as the Hei-Ji-Meng province and region), and study the influencing factors of brucellosis incidence.Methods:Using a retrospective analysis method, the data of brucellosis incidence in 22 prefecture-level cities in the Hei-Ji-Meng province and region from 2014 to 2018, as well as the data of natural environmental factors (precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, vegetation index) and social environmental factors (livestock breeding, livestock and poultry meat production, cultivated land area) were collected and integrated. The spatial autocorrelation model and spatial Dubin model were used to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution rule of brucellosis and the impact of environmental factors on the incidence of brucellosis in prefecture-level cities.Results:From 2014 to 2018, the incidence of brucellosis in the Hei-Ji-Meng province and region was 18.77/100 000, among which the incidence in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was 33.45/100 000, followed by Heilongjiang Province (13.67/100 000) and Jilin Province (6.57/100 000). Among all prefecture-level cities, the brucellosis incidence was relatively higher in Hinggan League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (69.10/100 000). Except 2016, the brucellosis incidence in other years had a positive spatial correlation (global Moran's I > 0, P < 0.05). The high-high concentration aggregation pattern was mainly concentrated in Ulanqab City, Xilingol League, Chifeng City, Tongliao City, Hinggan League, Hohhot City, and Hulunbuir City of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Among the environmental factors related to brucellosis, cultivated land area and sheep breeding density had a positive effect on brucellosis incidence in the local area, with the effect intensity of 0.39 and 0.32, respectively ( P < 0.001). The average humidity from April to July had a negative effect on the brucellosis incidence in the local area, with the effect intensity of - 0.22 ( P = 0.023). The indirect effect of the number of pigs slaughtered on the brucellosis incidence in adjacent areas was the most significant, and the effect intensity was 2.15 ( P < 0.001). Conclusions:Among the Hei-Ji-Meng province and region, the annual average incidence rate of brucellosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is relatively higher, and the high-high concentration areas are mainly concentrated in this region. Among the environmental factors, the cultivated land area, sheep breeding density, the average humidity from April to July and the number of pigs slaughtered have an impact on brucellosis incidence.

Objective:To evaluate the role of autophagy in hydrogen-rich solution-induced reduction of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in rats.Methods:Thirty-two clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2-3 months, weighing 240-260 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) by a random number table method: incisional pain group (group I), remifentanil+ incisional pain group (group RI), hydrogen-rich solution+ remifentanil+ incisional pain group (group HRI), and hydrogen-rich solution + autophagy inhibitor+ remifentanil+ incisional pain group (MHRI group). The tail vein was catheterized, the equal volume of normal saline was intravenously infused for 60 min while the incisional pain model was developed in group I, and remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 1 μg·kg -1·min -1 for 60 min while the incisional pain model was developed in RI, HRI and MHRI groups, hydrogen-rich solution 10 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 10 min before preparing the model in group HRI, and 3-MA 15 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before preparing the model in MHRI group, and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group HRI. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were determined at 24 h before and 2, 6, 24 and 48 h after the end of infusion. The rats were sacrificed under anesthesia after the behavioral testing, and the lumbar enlargement segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ), Beclin-1 and P62 by Western blot. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 0, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4 in the four groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group I, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was up-regulated, and the expression of P62 was down-regulated in group RI and group HRI ( P<0.05). Compared with group RI, the MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T 1-4 in group HRI and group MHRI, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was significantly up-regulated, and the expression of P62 was down-regulated in group HRI, and the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was significantly down-regulated, and the expression of P62 was up-regulated in group MHRI ( P<0.05). Compared with group HRI, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was down-regulated, and the expression of P62 was up-regulated in group MHRI ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which hydrogen-rich solution alleviates hyperalgesia may be related to enhancing the level of autophagy in the spinal cord of rats with incisional pain induced by remifentanil.
