A patient with osteomyelitis who developed a rash after previous treatment with vancomycin was admitted to the hospital due to a recurrence of osteomyelitis.After admission,the orthopedic doctor intended to perform a"calcium sulfate vancomycin implantation surgery"on him.Clinical pharmacist identified the patient's previous rash reaction as red man syndrome(RMS)rather than genuine drug allergy.At the same time,in response to the clinical doubt of whether patients with previous RMS can undergo"calcium sulfate vancomycin implantation surgery",clinical pharmacists reviewed and analyzed the literature,and suggested that the surgery can continue under close monitoring.The patient did not experience RMS or allergic reactions after surgery,and the condition improved.In this paper,the clinical pharmacists started with the identification of RMS and rapid allergic reactions,reviewed the literature on the local use of vancomycin and the risk of RMS,and provide suggestions for subsequent treatment,and also provide references for clinical safe drug use and treatment of similar diseases.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture therapy on postoperative rehabilitation training of patients with knee fractures.Methods Patients with knee fractures from July 2020 to July 2021 were randomly assigned to ei-ther the experimental group or a control group according to the double-blind principle.Both groups were given surgical treat-ment and postoperative conventional rehabilitation training.There were 40 cases in the control group,including 27 males and 13 females;the age ranged from 20 to 66 years old with an average of(36.46±6.29)years old,continuous passive motion(CPM)training was performed after operation.There were 40 patients in the experimental group,including 24 males and 16 females.The age ranged from 21 to 68 years old with an average of(37.62±7.08)years old,on the basis of the control group,electroacupuncture was given.After 4 weeks of intervention,the excellent rate of knee function score,visual analogue scale(VAS)before and after intervention,serum pain mediators,prostaglandin E(PGE),substance P(SP),bradykinin(BK),joint range of motion and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results After 4 weeks of intervention,the Ras-mussen score for knee function in the experimental group(24.15±1.36)scores was higher than that in the control group(21.25±2.20)scores(P＜0.001).The VAS in the experimental group(2.04±0.51)scores was lower than that in the control group(2.78±0.60)after 4 weeks of intervention(P＜0.05).Serum PGE(2.25±0.37)mg·L-1,SP(4.43±1.05)ng·ml-1,BK(2.67±0.68)ng·ml-1 in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group(3.91±0.44)mg·L-1,(6.12±1.37)ng·ml-1,(4.55±1.03)ng·ml-1 after4 weeks of intervention(P＜0.05);in the experimental group,the active knee flexion angle of the knee joint was(108.63±9.76)°,the active knee extension angle(-2.46±0.70)°,passive knee flexion angle(116.83± 6.57)°,passive knee extension angle(1.44±0.38)° were better than control group(100.24±8.15)°,(-3.51±0.86)°,(111.04± 8.22)°,(0.78±0.24)°(P＜0.05);the experimental group's psychological score(73.12±5.08),physiological score(72.26± 5.89),social function score(72.57±4.23),overall health score(75.12±5.16)were higher than that of the control group(68.49±4.13),(68.13±5.27),(69.04±3.42),and(70.88±3.97)respectvely(P＜0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture com-bined with CPM training after knee fracture surgery can significantly improve knee function and range of motion,reduce pain levels,and also improve quality of life and reduce the incidence of adverse events.

Objective:To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of galectin-3(Gal3)on mast cells activation and skin injury in a psoriatic murine model.Methods:Imiquimod was applied to the bare skin on back of SPF(Gal3+/+)mice and their matched(Gal3-/-)siblings respectively once daily for 5 d to establish a psoriatic mice model.The development and dynamics of skin le-sions were monitored and recorded,scored.with the psoriasis area and severity index(PASI).The expressions of il-1 and il-17 in the damaged skin were detected by real-time PCR to compare the severity of inflammation between Gal3+/+ mice and their Gal3-/-siblings.HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of skin.The difference in morphology and distribution of mast cells were examined by toluidine blue staining.Immunohistochemistry and image analysis techniques were improved to assay the expression and distribution of activated mast cells markers such as tryptase and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT).Results:The typical psoriatic signs in-cluding erythema,scaling and infiltration were formed in mice after continuous administration of imiquimod in Gal3-/-mice,whereas Gal3+/+ mice just developed small scaling and mild infiltration.PASI score of Gal3-/-mice was significantly higher than that of Gal3+/+mice.In accordance,il-1 and il-17 were increased in the skin lesions of Gal3+/+ mice and Gal3-/-mice,but these inflammatory factors were more upregulated remarkably in the latter.Histopathology observation revealed that the epidermis of Gal3+/+ mice was slightly thickened,whereas thickened epidermis of Gal3-/-mice was more seriously and the rete ridges extended downward,with massive in-flammatory cells aggregation.Toluidine blue staining indicated that the mast cells were sparsely distributed and most of their structures were intact in Gal3+/+ mice,instead the mast cells of Gal3-/-mice were mostly in degranulation state with increased and distributed widely in skin.Immunohistochemistry staining revealed that tryptase and 5-HT,compared with those of Gal3+/+ mice,were increased obviously in the lesioned skin of Gal3-/-mice,most of them were concentrated in the epidermal in particular.Conclusion:The defi-ciency of Gal3 may result in over-activation and degranulation of mast cells at the skin in psoriatic mice model,which aggravates the occurrence of dermatitis inflammatory injury and disease progression in psoriasis,and Gal3 plays suppressive effects on mast cells acti-vation and degranulation at the skin lesions in this model.

Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations,pathological features,immunophenotype,as well as diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of patients with CD4-CD56+blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm(BPDCN),in order to further understand the rare disease.Methods:The clinical data,laboratory examinations and treatment regimens of two patients with CD4-CD56+BPDCN in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The two patients were both elderly males with tumor involved in skin,bone marrow,lymph nodes,etc.Immunohistochemical results of skin lesions showed that both CD56 and CD123 were positive,while CD4,CD34,TdT,CD3,CD20,MPO and EBER were negative.Flow cytometry of bone marrow demonstrated that CD56,CD123,and CD304 were all positive,while specific immune markers of myeloid and lymphoid were negative.Two patients were initially very sensitive to acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphomatoid chemotherapy regimens,but prone to rapid relapse.The overall survival of both patients was 36 months and 4 months,respectively.Conclusion:CD4-CD56+BPDCN is very rare and easily misdiagnosed as other hematological tumors with poor prognosis.Acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphomatoid therapy should be used first to improve the poor prognosis.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment methods, and prognosis of papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP).Methods:The clinical and pathological data of six pathologically confirmed PRNRP patients admitted to Renji Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from August 2022 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, three were male and three were female, with an average age of (55.3±10.5) years old. All six cases were incidentally discovered during health examinations. Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT scans showed tumors with cortical phase manifestations of uneven enhancement, avascularity, and indistinct borders, with CT values of (85.6±18.7) HU. In the corticomedullary phase, the CT values showed mild elevation, with an average of (94.3±4.7) HU. In the delayed phase, the tumor boundaries were clear, and the enhancement degree was significantly lower than that of the surrounding renal cortex and medulla, with a tumor CT value of (86.3±11.9) HU. The pseudocapsule of the tumor was not clearly displayed on contrast-enhanced CT scans. All cases underwent partial nephrectomy, including two cases of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and four cases of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Results:Postoperative pathological measurements revealed a maximum tumor diameter ranging from 6 to 15 mm, with an average diameter of (11.0±3.5) mm. All six cases were classified as pT 1aN 0M 0 stage. Microscopically, the tumors exhibited branching papillary structures with eosinophilic cytoplasm, and the tumor cells displayed low-grade nuclei located at the top of the cytoplasm and away from the basal membrane. Immunohistochemical analysis showed diffuse strong positivity for GATA3 and CK7, while CA-Ⅸ expression was negative. The median follow-up time after surgery was 10(9, 13) months, and no tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed. Conclusions:PRNRP is a rare, low-grade malignant papillary renal tumor. Contrast-enhanced CT scan has characteristic features of avascularity. Pathological morphological features are low-grade nuclei located at the top of the cytoplasm and far away from the basal membrane, forming a "reverse polarity". The immunophenotype shows positive expression of GATA3 and CK7. Partial nephrectomy is the recommended treatment approach, and the postoperative prognosis is favorable.

Objective To understand the molecular epidemiological characteristics of Norovirus outbreaks and the genome evolution of Norovirus epidemic strains in Hainan Province from 2020 to 2022.Methods The information and samples have been collected from the norovirus outbreaks from 2020 to 2022.Norovirus was detected by using the real-time PCR in these samples,then the detected sequences were amplified the analyzed.The Norovirus se-quences of 8 strains had been amplified and analyzed.Results From 2020 to 2022,39 gastroenteritis outbreaks were reported,and 25 outbreaks caused by Norovirus which mainly occurred in childcare institutions and schools(20/25,80％).The Norovirus outbreaks were mainly concentrated in counties around Haikou(northeast),which including Ding'an(5 cases),Wenchang(4 cases),Chengmai(4 cases),and Lingao(3 cases);following by western regions which included Baisha(2 cases),Ledong(2 cases),and Dongfang(3 cases).1 case was in Wanning in the southeast.Among individuals aged 2-17,the positive proportion of Norovirus in males was higher than that in females.Among individuals aged over 55,the proportion of Norovirus positive in females was higher than that in males.The gender of positive samples among individuals aged 18-40 was related to their profession.According to RT-PCR typing and sequencing,GⅡ group Norovirus were classified in13 outbreaks.There were 4 genotypes detected.GⅡ.2[P1 6]was the main epidemic strain with 60％(9/13),and the other three genotypes were GⅡ.4 Sydney[P31](15.4％,2/13)GⅡ.4 Sydney[P16](7.7％,1/13)and GⅡ.3[P12](7.7％,1/13).Further genic analysis of 8 Norovirus strains showed that all of them were still in the same branch as the previ-ous strain,and all exhibited a certain amount of amino acid variation.Conclusion Norovirus is the main pathogen of gastroenteritis outbreaks in Hainan province,and the main epidemic strain is GⅡ.2[P16].It is necessary to continue to strengthen the monitoring that provides scientific evidence for the prevention and control of norovirus out-breaks in Hainan region.

Objective To explore the changes in serum energy metabolites in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma,and investigate serum biomarkers for monitoring peripheral T-cell lymphoma from the perspective of energy metabolism.Methods Multiple/selected reaction monitoring(MRM/SRM)was used to detect the energy-related metabolites in the sera of 16 patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma admitted in the Hematology Medical Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from November 2020 to December 2021,as well as 10 recruited healthy volunteers.The corresponding clinical data including medical history,laboratory results and image data were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results Significant differences were seen in the contents and expression profiles of serum energy metabolism-related products between the patients and the healthy volunteers.The patients had significantly reduced serum contents of cyclic AMP,succinate,citrate and cis-aconitate(P＜0.05),and elevated D-glucose 6-phosphate content(P＜0.05).The serum contents of citrate and succinate were negatively correlated with the risk stratification(low-,moderate-and high-risk)and clinical stage of the disease(P＜0.05).Meanwhile,there was a negative correlation between the contents of L-malic acid and citrate and the mid-term efficacy evaluation results,such as complete/partial response(CR/PR)or stable disease(SD)(P＜0.05).For patients with extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma(n=10),there were also significant reductions in the contents of cyclic AMP,succinate,citrate,isocitrate and cis-aconitate in the sera of patients compared with healthy volunteers(P＜0.05),and the contents of citrate and succinate were negatively correlated with the clinical stage(P＜0.05)and were rather correlated with mid-term efficacy evaluation results(CR/PR or SD)(P＜0.05).For patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma(n=6),the serum contents of cyclic AMP,citrate and succinate were significantly lower,while the content of D-glucose 6-phosphate was higher when compared with the healthy volunteers(P＜0.05),and the content of succinate was negatively correlated with both clinical stage and risk grade of the patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion There are 5 serum differential metabolites identified between patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma and healthy controls,and succinate and citrate are expected to be serum biomarkers of peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of Tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside (TGW) in the treatment of psoriatic dermatitis from a cellular immunological perspective. METHODS: Mouse models of psoriatic dermatitis were established by imiquimod (IMQ). Twelve male BALB/c mice were assigned to IMQ or IMQ₊TGW groups according to a random number table. Histopathological changes in vivo were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Ratios of immune cells and cytokines in mice, as well as PAM212 cell proliferation in vitro were assessed by flow cytometry. Pro-inflammatory cytokine expression was determined using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: TGW significantly ameliorated the severity of IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse skin lesions and restrained the activation of CD45⁺ cells, neutrophils and T lymphocytes (all P<0.01). Moreover, TGW significantly attenuated keratinocytes (KCs) proliferation and downregulated the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-23, tumor necrosis factor α, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Furthermore, it reduced the number of γ δ T17 cells in skin lesion of mice and draining lymph nodes (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS TGW improved psoriasis-like inflammation by inhibiting KCs proliferation, as well as the associated immune cells and cytokine expression. It inhibited IL-17 secretion from γ δ T cells, which improved the immune-inflammatory microenvironment of psoriasis.
