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 evaluate the image quality of abdominal dual-energy CT virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) in patients with early gastric cancer using titanium alloy clips and assess its effectiveness on reducing metal artifacts. Methods A retrospective study was conducted, including 31 patients with gastric cancer who underwent abdominal dual-energy CT scans with titanium clips inserted in the gastric cavity. Each scan was reconstructed into mixed images (simulated 120 kVp CT) and VMIs with energy levels ranging from 40 keV to 140 keV. Metal artifacts were quantitatively evaluated by measuring the noise values in the lesion and perigastric regions. The contrast-noise ratio (CNR) of the lesion and the corresponding liver tissue was calculated to assess the image quality. Two radiologists independently evaluated the images, considering overall quality, artifact severity, lesion conspicuity, perigastric clarity, and vascular contrast. Results Quantitative analysis revealed that metal artifacts in both the lesion and perigastric regions decreased as the energy level increased. VMIs at 80-140 keV (lesion site) and 90-140 keV (perigastric space) showed significantly fewer artifacts compared to mixed images (P<0.05). The CNR of lesions remained stable across VMIs at 50-140 keV, while the CNR of normal liver tissue decreased significantly with increasing energy (P<0.05). In the subjective assessment, VMIs at 80-140 keV had higher artifact scores than mixed images (P<0.05). VMIs at 70-90 keV provided better lesion conspicuity and perigastric clarity, although vascular contrast decreased significantly with increasing energy (P<0.05). VMIs at 70-90 keV showed better overall quality (P<0.05), though not significantly different from mixed images. Conclusions VMIs at 80 keV and 90 keV improve the visibility of lesions and perigastric regions affected by metallic clips, which combined with mixed images can enhance radiologists’ diagnostic accuracy.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the correlation of the peak blood concentration (cmax) of compound sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) and its metabolite N-acetyl sulfamethoxazole (NSMZ) with clinical efficacy and adverse reactions in critically ill patients. METHODS The data of critically ill patients treated with TMP/SMZ in various ICU of Hainan General Hospital from December 2023 to January 2025 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into success group and failure group based on the treatment outcome. Simple linear regression and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation of TMP cmax, SMZ cmax, and NSMZ cmax with clinical efficacy and adverse reactions. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the cutoff values of cmax for predicting the occurrence of adverse reactions. RESULTS Among critically ill patients with an acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE-Ⅱ) ≥15 points 24 h of check-in at ICU, SMZ cmax of success group was significantly higher than failure group (P<0.05). The daily total dose of TMP/SMZ was positively correlated with TMP cmax and SMZ cmax( P<0.05). TMP cmax was significantly correlated with hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, SMZ cmax with hepatotoxicity, and NSMZ cmax with nephrotoxicity (P<0.05). The cutoff values of TMP cmax for predicting nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity were 7.25 μg/mL and 6.63 μg/mL, respectively. The cutoff value of SMZ cmax for predicting hepatotoxicity was 138.00 μg/mL, and that of NSMZ cmax for predicting nephrotoxicity was 60.76 μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS Among critically ill patients with an APACHE-Ⅱ ≥15 points 24 h of check-in at ICU, SMZ cmax is associated with treatment success. Hepatotoxicity risk significantly increases when TMP cmax ≥6.63 μg/mL or SMZ cmax ≥138.00 μg/mL; nephrotoxicity risk significantly increases when TMP cmax ≥7.25 μg/mL or NSMZ cmax ≥60.76 μg/mL.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment methods and prognosis of primary renal synovial sarcoma (PRSS) in order to improve the clinical understanding and treatment level of the disease.Methods:The clinical data, pathological features, immunohistochemical indexes, SYT gene detection, treatment and follow-up results of 21 patients with PRSS reported in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from 2018 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the relationship between age and cumulative survival rate. Results:The male to female ratio of PRSS patients was 16∶5, the ratio of left and right kidneys was 7∶14, the median age was 50 years old, the mean age was 44.5 years old, the median tumor length diameter was 9.7 cm, and the mean tumor length diameter was 6.7 cm. 57%(12/21) reported low back pain and 48%(10/21) reported gross hematuria. Immunohistochemical examination showed 100% positive for Vimentin(16/16), BCL-2(18/18) and TLE-1(10/10), 69%(9/13) and 85%(6/7) positive for CD99 and CD56, respectively. Genetic testing found SYT translocation signal in 92% of cases (12/13). Next generation sequencing (NGS) detected SS18- SSX1 fusion in 2 cases and SS18- SSX2 fusion in 1 case. SS18- SSX1+ S18- SSX2 fusion was found in 1 case, and one case of SS18- NEDD4 fusion occurred. Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy was performed in 2 cases, postoperative chemotherapy in 11 cases, postoperative chemoradiotherapy in 2 cases, and surgery only in 5 cases. All patients were followed up for 3 to 42 months, and 4 cases were lost to follow-up. Patients with younger onset had a longer cumulative survival time. Patients had a median survival time of 13 months and a mean survival time of 15.4 months. Conclusions:PRSS is more common in middle-aged men, the right kidney is easy to occur, the length of the mass is usually >7 cm, most cases can be initially diagnosed by pathologic morphology, immunophenotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization or NGS STY gene detection can provide accurate diagnosis. The prognosis of PRSS is very poor, and the cumulative survival rate is negatively correlated with the age of onset. Surgical resection combined with chemotherapy is the main treatment for PRSS.
