OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate risk prediction models for chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in breast cancer, and provide a scientific reference for clinical healthcare workers in selecting or developing effective predictive models. METHODS A systematic search was conducted for studies on predictive models of the risk of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in breast cancer across the CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Scopus databases, with a time frame of the establishment of the database to May 7, 2024. Literature was independently screened by 2 investigators, data were extracted according to critical appraisal and data extraction for systematic reviews of predictive model studies, and the risk of bias evaluation tool for predictive model studies was used to analyze the risk of bias and applicability of the included studies. RESULTS There were totally 7 studies, comprising 12 models. Among them, 11 models indicated an area under the subject operating characteristic curve of 0.600-0.908; 2 models indicated calibration. The common predictor variables of the included models were age, pre-chemotherapy neutrophil count, pre-chemotherapy lymphocyte count, and pre-chemotherapy albumin. The overall risk of bias of the 7 studies was high, which was mainly attributed to the flaws in the study design, insufficient sample sizes, inappropriate treatment of variables, non-reporting of missing data, and the lack of indicators for the assessment of the models, but the applicability was good. CONCLUSIONS The predictive performance of risk predictive models for chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in breast cancer remains to be further enhanced, and the overall risk of model bias is high. Future studies should follow the specifications of model development and reporting, then combine machine learning algorithms to develop risk predictive models with good predictive performance, high stability, and low risk of bias, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the clinic.

OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical switching patterns and reasons between bevacizumab biosimilar and originator drugs. METHODS The data were collected from 1 175 cancer patients treated with bevacizumab at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2023. The patients were divided into originator group (n=250) and biosimilar group (n=925). The switching rate, switching type and reasons of the two groups were compared. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the switching rate, switching types, and the number of switches between the two groups (P>0.05). Single, one-way switches were the switching type in both groups. The proportion of patients in the biosimilar group who switched due to adverse events was significantly higher than originator group, while the proportion of patients who switched due to treatment costs was significantly lower than originator group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the proportions of patients who switched due to efficacy and drug accessibility between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The switching between bevacizumab biosimilar and the originator drugs mainly involves single, one- way switches. Treatment costs and drug accessibility are the main factors for the switches among users of originator drugs, while drug accessibility and adverse events are the main factors for the switches among users of biosimilar.

Objective:To perform adenovirus detection and genetic evolutionary analysis on specimens from a fever outbreak in Kunming city.Methods:Pharyngeal swabs from typical febrile patients were collected and tested for nucleic acids of 30 common respiratory pathogens using TaqMan Array Card technology. The full-length sequences of three important genes of adenovirus, Penton base, Hexon and Fiber, were amplified, sequenced and typed using Nanopore high-throughput sequencing. A phylogenetic tree was constructed. Molecular variations and genetic evolution of the three genes were analyzed.Results:Five specimens were collected and all of them tested positive for adenovirus and Haemophilus influenzae. The sequences of the full-length coding regions of the Penton base, Hexon and Fiber genes were obtained by Nanopore sequencing. The homology of the three gene sequences in the five specimens was 100.0%, 99.9%-100.0% and 100.0% in nucleotide sequences, and 100.0% in amino acid sequences. The three genes in the specimens had the highest homology with those of the reference strain of human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV3, accession number: AY599834) in nucleotide sequences, which was 98.6%, 98.7% and 98.9%, respectively. Results of the phylogenetic analysis of the three genes were basically consistent. These Kunming strains were clustered into an independent clade with the reference HAdV3 strain and had a distant relationship with the strains isolated in foreign countries and Taiwan, China in the early years. They were closely related to the domestic and foreign strains in recent years and highly homologous to the 2019 Japanese strain (accession: LC703523) and the Guangzhou strain (accession: MZ540961). Compared with the reference strain, these Kunming strains had five amino acid variations in Penton base, 10 in Hexon and 11 in Fiber. Conclusions:All of the adenovirus strains isolated in this outbreak belong to P3H3F3 type based on the full-length sequences of Penton base, Hexon and Fiber genes. They share high homology with the domestic and foreign HAdV3 strains, including the reference strain. Compared with the reference strain, several amino acid mutations are identified in these Kunming strains, and most of them are in the high variability region or functional regions. M7L in the Hexon protein is an unique amino acid mutation site of Kunming strains.

ObjectiveTo conduct a bibliometric visual analysis of studies on Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter species (ESKAPE) in the past 10 years at home and abroad, and to analyze current research status and future research directions in this field based on the concept of “One health”. MethodsRelated literature on ESKAPE drug resistant bacteria from 2013 to 2022 was searched on CNKI and WoS, respectively. Furthermore, a metrological visualization analysis of authors, source of agencies, countries, and keywords was conducted by the CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software. ResultsA total of 2 991 pieces of Chinese-language and 24 497 pieces of English-language literature were included in this study. Although the number and growth rate of English-language publications were higher than those of Chinese-language publications, the number of English-language papers authored by Chinese scholars showed a significant upward trend. The level of collaboration between authors and institutions in Chinese-language publications was weaker than that in English-language publications. Overall, the country with the highest number of publications was the United States (6 623), followed by China (3 776). However, China’s annual publication volume (851) exceeded that of the United States (600) in 2022. China had collaborations with 25 countries, indicating good global cooperation, but its level of international cooperation was still slightly weaker than that of the United States. High-frequency keywords in Chinese-language literature mainly included drug resistance, nosocomial infection, and antibiotics, while high-frequency keywords in English-language literature included Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and methicillin-resistant. ConclusionCarbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, and "One health" are research hotspots. In the future, cross-sectoral and multi-regional collaboration should be deepened to strengthen the control of infections of important drug-resistant bacteria, and infection treatment strategies should be optimized as well.

Objective:To explore the relationship between reduced folate carrier 1(RFC1) gene polymorphism a curative effect, plasma concentration and adverse reaction of methotrexate (MTX) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:A total of 268 RA patients with 82 males and 186 females, aged (52.47±10.29) years, who received MTX treatment in the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu, from Jan 20, 2018 to Jan 20, 2021 were collected by case-control study. The genotype of RFC1 G80A locus were detected. The plasma concentration of MTX were detected after initial administration for 48 hours. The curative effect and adverse reactions were observed and counted after treatment for 6 months. The differences of RFC1 G80A genotype among different groups were compared. Collinearity diagnosis and logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of MTX efficacy and plasma concentration. The incidences of adverse reactions among patients with different genotype were compared by Chi-square test.Results:The distribution of RFC1 G80A genotype (GG/GA/AA) and gene frequency (G/A) showed statistically significant differences between the effective group and the ineffective group (χ 2=6.583, P=0.037; χ 2=6.249, P=0.012), and the effective rate of AA type [59.26% (32/54)] was higher than that of GG type [36.49% (27/74)] (χ 2=6.516, P=0.011). Logistic regression analysis showed that the OR (95% CI) value of MTX response rate in AA genotype patients versus GG genotype patients was 2.491(1.206-5.144). The 48 hour plasma drug concentration of AA type patients was 1.15 (0.75, 1.35) μmol/L. Compared with GG type [0.74 (0.61, 1.18) μmol/L] and GA type [0.84 (0.69, 0.99) μmol/L], the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=7.152, P=0.028). Logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of high 48 hour plasma drug concentration in patients with AA type was approximately 2.583 (1.238-5.390) times higher than that in patients with GG type. There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of liver function injury among three different genotypes (GG/GA/AA) (χ 2=12.606, P=0.002). Conclusion:RFC1 G80A locus polymorphism can affect the MTX efficacy, blood drug concentration and liver function damage in RA patients. AA type patients have better efficacy and higher blood drug concentration compared to GG type patients, but the rate of liver function damage is also higher.

Public cell culture platform is an important facility in laboratory animal facilities, providing essential support for scientific research such as the development of animal tumor disease models and transgenic animals. By establishing a public cell culture experimental platform, laboratory animal centers can effectively integrate experimental animals and cell culture resources, optimizing the allocation of scientific research resources to facilitate better research outcomes. The majority of cells cultured in these platforms are used for animal experiments. Contamination or quality issues in these cells not only affect experimental results but also jeopardize the health of experimental animals, potentially leading to microbial infections and contamination of entire animal facilities. Therefore, public cell culture laboratories within experimental animal facilities impose stricter quality control measures than conventional cell culture rooms. This study takes the public cell culture platform at the Laboratory Animal Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a case study to discuss management experiences, focusing on facility maintenance and management, personnel management and quality control of cell biological risk. The aim is to provide useful reference for the management of public cell culture laboratories in experimental animal facilities and other institutions.

Background Bacteria are the most diverse and widely sourced microorganisms in the indoor air of subway stations, where pathogenic bacteria can spread through the air, leading to increased health risks. Objective To understand the status and distribution characteristics of indoor air bacterial pollution in subway stations and compartments in a city of Central South China, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating intervention measures to address indoor air bacteria pollution in subways. Methods Three subway stations and the compartments of trains parking there in a city in Central South China were selected according to passenger flow for synchronous air sampling and monitoring. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, carbon dioxide (CO2), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and inhalable particulate matter (PM10) were measured by direct reading method. In accordance with the requirements of Examination methods for public places-Part 3: Airborne microorganisms (GB/T 18204.3-2013), air samples were collected at a flow rate of 28.3 L·min−1, and total bacterial count was estimated. Bacterial microbial species were identified with a mass spectrometer and pathogenic bacteria were distinguished from non-pathogenic bacteria according to the Catalogue of pathogenic microorganisms transmitted to human beings issued by National Health Commission. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the subway hygiene indicators in different regions and time periods, and Bonferroni test was used for pairwise comparison. Spearman correlation test was used to evaluate the correlation between CO2 concentration and total bacterial count. Results The pass rates were 100.0% for airborne total bacteria count, PM2.5, and PM10 in the subway stations and train compartments, 94.4% for temperature and wind speed, 98.6% for CO2, but 0% for humidity. The overall median (P25, P75) total bacteria count was 177 (138,262) CFU·m−3. Specifically, the total bacteria count was higher in station halls than in platforms, and higher during morning peak hours than during evening peak hours (P<0.05). A total of 874 strains and 82 species were identified by automatic microbial mass spectrometry. The results of identification were all over 9 points, and the predominant bacteria in the air were Micrococcus luteus (52.2%) and Staphylococcus hominis (9.8%). Three pathogens, Acinetobacter baumannii (0.3%), Corynebacterium striatum (0.1%), and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacilli (2.2%) were detected in 23 samples (2.6%), and the associated locations were mainly distributed in train compartments during evening rush hours. Conclusion The total bacteria count in indoor air varies by monitoring sites of subway stations and time periods, and there is a risk of opportunistic bacterial infection. Attention should be paid to cleaning and disinfection during peak passenger flow hours in all areas.
