Objective To analyze the application characteristics,trends,and special advantages of anti-infection research using the Bayesian method,and to provide methodological reference for the development of anti-infection research.Methods PubMed,CNKI and WanFang Data were electronically searched for the studies on anti-infection using Bayesian method published from January 1,2015 to November 21,2023.The relevant information of publication time,anti-infection type,sample size,Bayesian characteristics and Bayesian application pattern were analyzed descriptively and reviewed.Results A total of 86 studies were included,of which 41.9％were observational studies,only 7.0％were enterprise-initiated studies,and 48.8％were mentioning prior information studies.There was no domestic intervention study.The application characteristics and advantages of Bayesian method in intervention study,observational study and pharmacokinetic study are different.In intervention researches and observational researches,the application of Bayesian design decision and the application of Bayesian analysis and estimation accounts for 69.2％and 52.8％at most,respectively.Conclusions The Bayesian method is flexible,can be used for small sample sizes and complex model research,and can deal with uncertainty.In intervention studies in the field of anti-infection in China,the Bayesian method has not been applied widely.Only a handful of studies applying Bayesian method have been initiated by companies.In the future,it is still necessary to promote the advantages and application scenarios of Bayesian methods in the field of anti-infection research and strengthen the standardization of the application of Bayesian method.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the expression of fucosylated proteins in colonic epithelium (abbreviated as colonic fucosylation level) and the clinical efficacy of ustekinumab (UST) in patients with Crohn′s disease (CD).Methods:From January 2022 to November 2023, CD patients who were hospitalized at Department of Gastroenterology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University and received the treatment of UST ≥24 weeks (CD group) and patients with colon polyps (colon polyps control group) were retrospectively enrolled. Baseline data of the patients were collected. Harvey-Bradshaw index for Crohn′s disease (HBI) and simple endoscopic score for Crohn′s disease (SES-CD) were applied to assess clinical and endoscopic disease activities, respectively. The colonic fucosylation level was detected by immunofluorescence staining in the CD group at weeks 0 and 24 after UST treatment and at diagnosis in the colon polyps control group (baseline). The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin (FC) were also assessed. A linear regression model was performed to analyze the correlation between the baseline colonic fucosylation levels and the clinical characteristics in CD patients. At week 24, the clinical efficacy of UST treatment was evaluated, clinical remission was defined as HBI ≤4, biological remission was defined as CRP<5 mg/L and(or) FC≤250 μg/g, and mucosal healing was defined as SES-CD≤2.Based on the efficacy of UST treatment, the CD group was further divided into clinical remission subgroup and clinical non-remission subgroup, biological remission subgroup and biological non-remission subgroup, and mucosal healing subgroup and mucosal non-healing subgroup. The differences in colonic fucosylation level between the subgroups were compared. Multivariate binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the impacts of the baseline clinical characteristics on clinical efficacy at week 24 of UST treatment in the CD group. Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon matched-pair test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 60 patients in the CD group and 72 patients in the colon polyps control group were enrolled. The baseline colonic fucosylation level of CD group was lower than that of the colon polyps control group (25.81 (15.55, 29.70) vs. 29.57 (27.32, 32.96)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-5.02, P<0.001). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the baseline colonic fucosylation level of the CD group was negatively correlated with the baseline FC level ( β=-13.80, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): -20.59 to -7.00, P<0.001). The colonic fucosylation level at week 24 of the CD group was higher than that at week 0 (28.53 (24.54, 32.32) vs. 25.81 (15.55, 29.70)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=4.75, P<0.001). The colonic fucosylation levels at week 24 of the clinical remission subgroup, the biological remission subgroup, and the mucosal healing subgroup were higher than those of the clinical non-remission subgroup, the biological non-remission subgroup, and the mucosal non-healing subgroup, respectively (29.1 (27.9, 33.0) vs. 19.6 (16.3, 31.9), 29.5 (27.3, 33.0) vs. 19.6 (17.5, 27.5), 29.6 (28.4, 33.0) vs. 23.4 (17.5, 28.4)), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=3.35, 3.78, 4.63; all P<0.001). The results of multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the baseline colonic fucosylation level was the independent influencing factor of the rate of clinical remission, biological remission and mucosal healing at week 24 after UST treatment in the CD group ( OR=1.30 (95% CI: 1.05 to 1.61), 1.24 (95% CI: 1.01 to 1.52), 1.57 (95% CI: 1.16 to 2.12); P=0.018, 0.037 and 0.003). Conclusion:The baseline level of colonic fucosylation in CD patients is correlated with the clinical efficacy at week 24 of UST treatment, suggesting its potential utility in predicting the efficacy of UST treatment in CD patients.

It was a retrospective cohort study. Eighty maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were enrolled, among whom 48 patients survived and 32 died. The clinical data between the survival and death groups were compared. The Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of death in MHD patients with COVID-19, and a survival prediction model was constructed. The results showed that age, lesion-cumulative number of lung segments, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, serum ferritin, interleukin-6, D-dimer, serum phosphorus, and proportions of males, diabetes and hypoxemia in the death group were higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.05). Increased age ( HR=1.039, 95% CI 1.007-1.072, P=0.017), diabetes ( HR=2.688, 95% CI 1.018-6.991, P=0.046), increased C-reactive protein ( HR=1.006, 95% CI 1.001-1.011, P=0.012), and increased serum phosphorus ( HR=1.573, 95% CI 1.015-2.438, P=0.043) were independent influencing factors of death in MHD patients with COVID-19. The survival prediction model was established based on age, diabetes, C-reactive protein and blood phosphorus. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the combined model for survival time at 7-day, 14-day, and 21-day were 0.751 (95% CI 0.690-0.811), 0.768 (95% CI 0.712-0.824), and 0.780 (95% CI 0.729-0.831), respectively. The concordance index of cross- validation as internal validation was 0.797 (95% CI 0.757-0.837). Increased age, diabetes, elevated C-reactive protein and elevated blood phosphorus are independent risk factors of COVID-19 death in MHD patients, and the survival prediction model built by those factors has good efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the effects of gastrointestinal reaction through the breast cancer chemotherapy period with improved traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM) hot ironing technology. Methods We randomly divided 80 cases of breast cancer in the chemotherapy period into control group and treatment group (40 cases in each group ). The patients of control group used Granisetron Hydrochloride Injection 3 mg, bid, for three days, while the patients of treatment group used improved TCM hot ironing technology on Zhongwan for 30 mins, qd for 3 consecutive days. The nausea, vomiting, anorexia and its degree changing were compared at chemotherapy day, 1d, 2d and 3d after chemotherapy between two groups. Results The proportion of nausea, vomiting and anorexia degree in treatment group from the day of chemotherapy to the 3 days after chemotherapy were significantly super to those of control group (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Improved TCM hot ironing technology can improve gastrointestinal reaction through chemotherapy period and worthy for clinical promotion.
