OBJECTIVE To analyze the distribution characteristics of mirtazapine steady-state trough concentration and concentration-to-dose ratio （ C / D ）， and to investigate the influence of clinical and genetic factors on C / D . METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on hospitalized patients with depression who received mirtazapine treatment and underwent therapeutic drug monitoring at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2022 to May 2025. The collected data included patients’ gender， age， body mass index， daily dose， steady-state trough concentration， smoking status， history of liver disease， drug type， concomitant medications， and CYP2D6 metabolic phenotype. The C / D was calculated. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship between mirtazapine steady-state trough concentration and daily dose. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression model were employed to screen the factors potentially influencing the C / D of mirtazapine. RESULTS A total of 226 patients were included. The daily dose of mirtazapine was 25.00 （24.82， 30.00） mg/d， the steady-state trough concentration was 44.46 （20.00， 70.00） ng/mL， and the C / D was 1.83 （1.00， 2.00） （ng·d）/（mL·mg）. Steady-state trough concentrations were within the reference range （30-80 ng/mL） in 121 patients （53.54%）， below the lower limit in 80 patients （35.40%）， and above the upper limit in 25 patients （11.06%）. A positive correlation was observed between mirtazapine steady-state trough concentration and daily dose （coefficient of determination was 0.320 8， P ＜0.001）. Gender， smoking status， and CYP2D6 metabolic phenotype were significantly associated with the mirtazapine C / D （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Significant interindividual variability exists in mirtazapine steady-state trough concentrations. Gender， smoking status， and CYP2D6 metabolic phenotype are identified as independent influencing factors for the mirtazapine C / D ， with higher C / D ratios observed in females， non-smokers， and intermediate metabolizers.

OBJECTIVE To explore the main factors influencing the blood concentration of duloxetine， and provide a scientific basis for the individualized use of duloxetine. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted on 434 inpatients with depressive disorders at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University， who were treated with duloxetine and underwent blood concentration monitoring between January 2022 and April 2024. The study examined the impact of various factors， including gender， age， body mass index （BMI）， gene phenotypes， combined medication， drug type （original/generic）， and genotyping results of gene single nucleotide polymorphism loci， on blood concentration and the concentration-to-dose （C/D） after dose adjustment. RESULTS The blood concentration of duloxetine was 76.65 （45.57， 130.31） ng/mL， and C/D was 0.96 （0.63， 1.60） ng·d/（mL·mg）. The blood concentration of duloxetine was positively correlated with the daily dose of administration （R2＝0.253 7， P＜0.001）. Blood concentration of duloxetine in 38.94% of patients exceeded the recommended range specified in the guidelines. Gender， age， BMI， combined use of CYP2D6 enzyme inhibitors， and CYP2D6 and CYP1A2 phenotypes had significant effects on C/D of duloxetine （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The patient’s age， gender， BMI， combined medication， and genetic phenotypes are closely related to the blood concentration of duloxetine.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Kangfuxin liquid combined with conventional treatment in postoperative patients with gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)about Kangfuxin liquid combined with conventional treatment versus conventional treatment for postoperative complications of gastrointestinal endoscopy,from inception to December 31,2023.Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies.Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 14 software.Results A total of 14 RCTs involving 1 359 patients were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with the conventional treatment group,the Kangfuxin liquid combination group could improve postoperative ulcer complete healing rate(RR=1.32,95％CI 1.07 to 1.61,P=0.009)and postoperative clinical symptomatic relief rate(RR=1.20,95％CI 1.13 to 1.27,P＜0.001),but there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Subgroup analyses showed that the ulcer complete healing rate in the Kangfuxin liquid combination group was higher than that in the conventional treatment group at 2 weeks postoperatively(RR=1.56,95％CI 1.28 to 1.92,P＜0.001),but there was no statistically significant difference in ulcer complete healing rate between the two groups at 4 weeks postoperatively(P＞0.05);the efficacy of oral administration(RR=1.19,95％CI 1.11 to 1.27,P＜0.001)and transendoscopic topical spray administration(RR=1.23,95％CI 1.09 to 1.39,P＜0.001)of Kangfuxin liquid groups were better than those of the conventional treatment group in relieving postoperative clinical symptoms.Conclusion Combining Kangfuxin liquid treatment with conventional medication after gastrointestinal endoscopy may further improve clinical efficacy,especially in promoting the ulcer complete healing within 2 weeks after surgery and relieving postoperative clinical symptoms,but there is insufficient evidence on whether it reduces the incidence of adverse effects.Due to the limitations of the number and quality of included studies,the above conclusions are yet to be validated by more high-quality studies.

Objective To investigate the application of machine learning to predict the hemodynamic parameters of combined stenotic left coronary artery(LCA)aneurysms.Methods Parameterized modeling and simulation based on the geometric parameter range of combined stenosis LCA aneurysms in clinical statistics were conducted.The obtained simulation data was used as the dataset,and two common machine learning models were constructed and trained for optimization to predict two key hemodynamic parameters:wall shear stress(WSS)and pressure.By comparing and analyzing the performances of these models on the training and testing sets,the accuracy of each model was evaluated,and the effectiveness of the data-driven prediction of hemodynamic parameters for LCA aneurysms with concomitant stenosis was verified.Results The effectiveness of machine learning method in inverting the hemodynamic parameters of aneurysms was determined.For WSS prediction,the trained deep learning model and random forest model achieved mean squared error(MSE),mean absolute error(MAE),and determination coefficient R2 of 0.052 8,0.032 2,0.988 3,and 0.078 2,0.046 3,and 0.976 6,respectively.For pressure prediction,the accuracies of the deep learning models and random forest models were comparable,with MSE,MAE,and R2 of 4.67×10-6,3×10-4,0.999 7,and 1.07×10-5,5×10-4,and 0.999 3,respectively.Conclusions Machine learning methods show high accuracy in predicting the hemodynamic parameters of combined stenotic coronary artery aneurysm models.The predictive accuracy of the model,computational efficiency,and needs of the application scenarios need to be considered in machine learning prediction so that the appropriate model can be selected according to the specific situation.This study has clinical significance,helping doctors to more accurately evaluate a patient's condition and provide new ideas and method for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To explore the surgical treatment strategy of stent graft infection after interventional treatment of major iliac artery related diseases.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 6 patients with secondary stent graft infection after interventional treatment for major iliac artery related diseases admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery,Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital,Medical School of Nanjing University from November 2021 to August 2022.There were 5 males and 1 female,with a mean age of 64 years (range:49 to 79 years).The infection time was 53 days to 3 165 days.All the 6 patients received surgical treatment,including 3 patients who underwent anatomic bypass grafting (axillary arterial-femoral artery bypass,femoral arterial-femoral artery bypass) using artificial vessels,and 3 patients who underwent in situ abdominal aorta reconstruction using bovine pericardium.The perioperative situation,postoperative infection and the occurrence of serious adverse events were recorded,and the safety of different treatment methods and materials was evaluated.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and no death occurred during hospitalization.Intraoperative blood loss was 2 000 to 5 000 ml,and intraoperative blood transfusion was 1 600 to 5 350 ml.All the patients were followed up for 81 to 395 days after surgery,and the incision healed well,and no reinfection occurred.Postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding occurred in 1 patient,secondary surgery (retroperitoneal hematoma removal) was performed in 1 patient due to postoperative bleeding at the vascular anastomosis,both lower limb amputations were performed in 1 patient due to postoperative lower limb ischemia,and intermittent claudication occurred in 2 patients.All patients were alive at the last follow-up.Conclusion:For patients with aortic stent graft infection,when the infection is not serious and there is enough space to block the proximal and distal aorta,in situ aortic reconstruction is an effective treatment,and different materials can achieve satisfactory results in a short period of time.

MicroRNA(miRNA) affect various biological processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis by inhibiting the translation of target genes after transcription and are widely involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses in organisms. Autoimmune liver diseases are a group of chronic inflammatory diseases of the hepatobiliary system mediated by abnormal immunity, and abnormal immune inflammatory response of liver tissue with the involvement of miRNA is closely associated with the development and progression of autoimmune liver diseases. This article reviews the current research advances in miRNA in autoimmune liver diseases.
