Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) have become prominent global health threats, escalating the burden on public health systems. The increasing occurrence of invasive fungal infections is due primarily to the extensive application of chemotherapy, immunosuppressive therapies, and broad-spectrum antifungal agents. At present, therapeutic practices utilize multiple categories of antifungal agents, such as azoles, polyenes, echinocandins, and pyrimidine analogs. Nevertheless, the clinical effectiveness of these treatments is progressively weakened by the emergence of drug resistance, thereby substantially restricting their therapeutic utility. Consequently, there is an imperative need to expedite the discovery of novel antifungal agents. This review seeks to present an exhaustive synthesis of novel antifungal drugs and candidate agents that are either under current clinical investigation or anticipated to progress into clinical evaluation. These emerging compounds exhibit unique benefits concerning their modes of action, antimicrobial spectra, and pharmacokinetic characteristics, potentially leading to improved therapeutic outcomes relative to conventional antifungal regimens. It is anticipated that these novel therapeutic agents will furnish innovative treatment modalities and enhance clinical outcomes in managing invasive fungal infections.

Objective To explore the latent classes and influencing factors of blood glucose trajectories after transplantation in lung transplantation patients,and provide references for identifying high-risk population of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.Methods 122 lung transplantation patients who were hospitalized in a tertiary A general hospital in Hangzhou from January 2022 to March 2023 were selected conveniently as survey subjects.Socio-demographic and disease-related data were collected,and fasting plasma glucose at 1 week before surgery(T0),1 week after surgery(T1),1 month after surgery(T2),3 months after surgery(T3),6 months after surgery(T4),1 year after surgery(T5)were collected.Growth mixture model was used to identify categories of blood glucose trajectories after lung transplantation,and binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors.Results A total of 109 lung transplantation patients were enrolled in the study,and 2 latent classes of blood glucose trajectories were identified:high risk(23.85%)and low risk(76.15%)of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.BMI,drinking history,afternoon blood glucose and tacrolimus trough concentration were the influencing factors of latent classes of blood glucose trajectories after lung transplantation(all P<0.05).Conclusion There are 2 latent classes of blood glucose trajectories after lung transplantation,namely high risk and low risk of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.Medical staff should pay attention to diabetes screening and assessment of lung transplantation patients who are overweight or obese,have a drinking history before transplantation,have high afternoon blood glucose in early stage of transplantation and have high tacrolimus trough concentration in stable stage of transplantation,so as to formulate a comprehensive and individualized blood glucose management program.

Objective This study aimed to develop and empirically evaluate a sarcopenia management program for lung transplant candidates based on the Transtheoretical Model(TTM).The objective was to improve preopera-tive muscle condition and enhance patients' tolerance to lung transplantation.Methods Using the TTM as the the-oretical framework,the sarcopenia management program was developed through a literature review and 2 rounds of expert consultations.A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit inpatients from the lung transplant department of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province between January 2022 and January 2024.Patients admitted between February 2023 and January 2024 were assigned to an intervention group,while those admitted between January 2022 and January 2023 were allocated to a control group.The intervention group received an 8-week sar-copenia management program based on the TTM in addition to standard prehabilitation care,whereas the control group received only standard prehabilitation care.Outcome measurements included pre-and post-intervention com-parisons of the modified Strength,Assistance with Walking,Rise from a Chair,Climb Stairs,Falls,and Calf Circum-ference(SARC-CalF)score,handgrip strength,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),and upper arm circumference,as well as their respective changes before and after the intervention.Additionally,stage-based behavioral change as-sessment and adverse event incidence were compared between the 2 groups.Results A total of 8 patients from the intervention group and 9 from the control group dropped out,resulting in a final sample of 32 patients in the intervention group and 31 in the control group.Compared to the control group,the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in SARC-CalF scores,handgrip strength,6MWD,and upper arm circumference(P<0.05).After the intervention,the intervention group had a statistically significant difference in behavioral stage tran-sition compared to the control group(P<0.05).During the intervention process,neither group experienced any ad-verse events.Conclusion The sarcopenia management program based on the TTM effectively improved patient ad-herence,enhanced preoperative muscle condition,and demonstrated potential benefits in improving physical function and nutritional status.
