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 evaluate the value of red cell volume distribution width(RDW)in the prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest(CA).Methods Clinical data of 146 CA patients admitted to intensive care unit(ICU)of Huzhou Central Hospital from January 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and the patients were divided into survival group and death group according to the prognosis during ICU stay.The clinical data of two groups were compared,and the risk factors affecting the prognosis of CA patients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of RDW in CA patients.The survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method.Results A total of 146 CA patients were included in the analysis,among which 49 patients survived and 97 patients died,the mortality rate of CA patients in ICU was 66.44%.The scores of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ,RDW,blood sodium and alanine aminotransferase in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group,the time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was significantly longer than that in survival group,and the length of ICU stay was significantly shorter than that in survival group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that RDW and time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation were independent risk factors for predicting death during ICU stay in CA patients(P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that RDW predicted death in CA patients with the area under curve of 0.742,the best cut-off value was 13.95%,the sensitivity was 59.8%,and the specificity was 85.7%.Patients with low RDW had significantly higher one-year cumulative survival rate than those with high RDW(χ2=18.757,P<0.001).Conclusion RDW was an independent risk factor for predicting death during ICU stay in CA patients.

Magnesium-doped calcium silicate(CS)bioceramic scaffolds have unique advantages in mandibular defect repair;however,they lack antibacterial properties to cope with the complex oral microbiome.Herein,for the first time,the CS scaffold was functionally modified with a novel copper-containing polydopamine(PDA(Cu2+))rapid deposition method,to construct internally modified(*P),externally modified(@PDA),and dually modified(*P@PDA)scaffolds.The morphology,degradation behavior,and mechanical properties of the obtained scaffolds were evaluated in vitro.The results showed that the CS*P@PDA had a unique micro-/nano-structural surface and appreciable mechanical resistance.During the prolonged immersion stage,the release of copper ions from the CS*P@PDA scaffolds was rapid in the early stage and exhibited long-term sustained release.The in vitro evaluation revealed that the release behavior of copper ions ascribed an excellent antibacterial effect to the CS*P@PDA,while the scaffolds retained good cytocompatibility with improved osteogenesis and angiogenesis effects.Finally,the PDA(Cu2+)-modified scaffolds showed effective early bone regeneration in a critical-size rabbit mandibular defect model.Overall,it was indicated that considerable antibacterial property along with the enhancement of alveolar bone regeneration can be imparted to the scaffold by the two-step PDA(Cu2+)modification,and the convenience and wide applicability of this technique make it a promising strategy to avoid bacterial infections on implants.

Hemoptysis is one of the acute and critical conditions in pediatrics，which can cause asphyxia，shock and even death，and needs timely and effective treatment.Bronchoscopy plays an important role in clarifying the etiology of hemoptysis，determining the bleeding site，evaluating the amount of bleeding，stopping bleeding locally under the microscope，assisting in isolating the blood source，clearing the airway and ensuring effective ventilation.However，bronchoscopy can also induce bleeding，aggravate hypoxia and even lead to death.In order to avoid risks，standardize diagnosis and treatment，and effectively play the role of bronchoscopy，this review focused on the standardized process and intervention timing of bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of hemoptysis in children.

Objective To investigate the role of tongue diagnosis in the evaluation of airway mucus plug formation in mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP).Methods Totally 418 MPP children with MPP were included in this study.According to the formation of mucus plug under the microscope,the children with MPP were divided into mucus plug group(n=108)and non-mucus plug group(n=310).The purpose of this study was to compare the tongue features(tongue color,coating color,coating quality,tongue fluid)and levels of related inflammatory factors C-reactive protein(CRP),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),interleukin(IL)-6,etc between the two groups,and to explore the role of tongue examination in evaluating the formation of mucus plugs in MPP.Results The tongue color of MPP mucus plug group was mainly crimson tongue,the coating color was mainly yellow fur,the coating quality was mainly thick greasy coating,and the tongue fluid was mainly fluid.The tongue image score of MPP mucus plug group was significantly higher than that of non-mucus plug group(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CRP,IL-6,IL-17,γ interferon(IFN-γ),LDH and tongue total score were independent risk factors for mucus plug formation in MPP.The results of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of CRP,tongue image score,LDH,IL-6,IL-17 and IFN-γ to predict the formation of mucus plug in MPP were 0.893,0.830,0.783,0.794,0.627 and 0.602,respectively.The optimal cut-off values were 37.445(mg/L),4.5(pionts),358.673(U/L),27.174(pg/mL),4.855(pg/mL)and 26.427(pg/mL),respectively.The AUC of MPP mucous plug formation was 0.930,the sensitivity was 0.907,and the specificity was 0.827.Conclusion There are differences in tongue image characteristics in MPP children with mucus plug formation.Total tongue image score can better predict mucus plug formation in MPP,and combined analysis has greater value in predicting MPP mucus plug formation.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of red cell distribution width(RDW)on neurological prognosis in patients with cardiac arrest(CA).Methods Retrospective analysis the case data,RDW and biochemical indicators of 107 CA patients treated in our department(January 2020 to November 2023).According to cerebral performance category(CPC),patients were divided into good neurological prognosis group and bad neurological prognosis group.The differences in clinical data and RDW between the two groups were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors on neurological prognosis.Predictive effect of RDW on poor neurological prognosis in CA patients was assessed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.According to the optimal cut-off value of RDW,it was divided into high RDW group(≥ 13.45％)and low RDW group(＜13.45％)to compare the incidence of poor neurological prognosis.Results Totally 107 CA patients were included,34 patients in the good neurological prognosis group and 73 patients in the bad neurological prognosis group,the incidence of poor prognosis of neurological function was 68.22％.Compared with good neurological prognosis group,the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score,RDW,cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)time,age,serum sodium and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase in bad neurological prognosis group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that RDW,age and CPR time were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of neurological function(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of RDW to predict poor neural function prognosis in CA patients was 0.766.When the optimal threshold of RDW was 13.45％,the sensitivity was 73％and the specificity was 71％.The incidence of poor prognosis of neurological function in high RDW group was 84.13％,which was significantly higher than 45.45％in low RDW group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Elevated RDW is an independent risk factor for increased risk of poor neurological outcomes in patients with CA.It has certain predictive value for neurological outcomes in patients with CA.

Objective To explore the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) in improvement of renal injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN) by regulating mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/p70 ribosome protein S6 kinase (S6K1)/coiled-coil myosin-like Bcl-2-interacting protein (Beclin 1) pathway. Methods The model of SD rats with DN was established by a method of high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, and they were randomly divided into model group, MSC-EVs group, and MSC-EVs+MHY1485 (mTOR activator) group, with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 SD rats were normally fed for 6 weeks and then intraperitoneally injected with an equal dose of sodium citrate solution as controls. After grouping with MSC-EVs and MHY1485, blood glucose and levels of renal function indicators [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), and urinary microalbumin (UmALB)] in rats were detected. HE staining was used to detect the pathological morphology of renal tissue in rats of each group; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of mTOR/S6K1/Beclin 1 pathway related proteins in the renal tissues of rats in each group; the Western blot was used to detect the mTOR/S6K1/Beclin 1 pathway and autophagy-related protein expression in the renal tissues of rats in each group. Results Compared with the control group, the renal tissue morphology of rats in the model group were impaired, and the blood glucose, BUN, Scr, UmALB, relative positive expressions of p-mTOR and p-S6K1, p-mTOR/mTOR, p-S6K1/S6K1 increased significantly (P < 0.05), while microtubule associated protein 1A/1B light chain 3 (LC3) Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ, expression of Beclin 1 protein, and relative positive expression of Beclin 1 significantly reduced (P < 0.05); compared with the model group, the MSC-EVs group had less impairment in the renal tissue morphology, and the blood glucose, BUN, Scr, UmALB, relative positive expressions of p-mTOR and p-S6K1, p-mTOR/mTOR, and p-S6K1/S6K1 decreased significantly (P < 0.05), while expression of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ, Beclin 1 protein, and relative positive expression of Beclin 1 increased significantly (P < 0.05); compared with the MSC-EVs group, the impairment of the renal tissue morphology was worse in the MSC-EVs+MHY1485 group, and the blood glucose, BUN, Scr, UmALB, relative positive expressions of p-mTOR and p-S6K1, expression of p-mTOR/mTOR, and p-S6K1/S6K1 increased significantly (P < 0.05), while the expression of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ, Beclin 1 protein, and relative positive expression of Beclin 1 decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusion MSC-EVs can enhance autophagy, reduce levels of blood glucose, Scr, BUN and urinary protein in rats with DN, alleviate renal tissue damage, and the mechanism may be achieved by inhibiting the activation of the mTOR/S6K1/Beclin 1 pathway.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.
