Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe nephropathy syndromes in clinical practice and also one of the most common serious complications after organ transplantation, with high incidence and fatality. Iron is an essential trace element in the body. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death induced by the accumulation of iron-mediated lipid peroxidation, and its occurrence is closely related to iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and multiple signaling pathways. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis plays a key role in the occurrence and development of AKI and provides therapeutic targets for AKI. This article summarizes the regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis and its role in AKI, as well as the compounds that play an important role in the prevention and treatment of AKI by inhibiting ferroptosis, providing new ideas for the future treatment and research of AKI.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) induced by tislelizumab, providing evidence for clinical medication safety. METHODS Case reports of tislelizumab-related SJS/TEN were retrieved from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Embase. Descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS Seventeen cases from 17 publications were included (SJS 4 cases, TEN 13 cases). Among them, there were 10 males and 7 females. Twelve patients were aged between 70 and 79 years. The predominant tumor type was lung cancer (10 cases). Thirteen patients received combination therapy with chemotherapeutic drugs. The median onset time of SJS/ TEN was 26 (4, 104) days. Nine patients developed SJS/TEN after the first administration of the drug. Sixteen patients exhibited prodromal rash symptoms, primarily characterized by severe skin damage such as skin detachment, accompanied by mucosal injury. Sixteen patients improved after symptomatic treatment, while one patient died. CONCLUSIONS Tislelizumab-associated SJS/TEN risk is higher in elderly patients, males, those with lung cancer and those receiving combination chemotherapy. Mucosal lesions and atypical rashes may indicate the early onset of SJS/TEN. During clinical use, pharmaceutical care can be carried out through measures such as identifying high-risk populations, closely monitoring skin symptoms from the first administration to the fifth treatment cycle, and enhancing patient education. When relevant symptoms occur, the medication should be promptly discontinued and symptomatic treatment should be administered to ensure the patient’s medication safety.

Objective:To examine the structural network changes in participants with amnestic mild cognitive impairment(aMCI)and investigate the correlation between these changes and the onset of Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods:In this prospective study, a total of 100 individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment(aMCI)were enrolled as the research group.Additionally, 25 healthy individuals who were matched in terms of age and sex were enrolled as healthy controls.Upon enrollment, all participants underwent MRI scans, neuropsychological assessments, and clinical evaluations.The participants were then followed every 6 months for a period of 36 months or until they withdrew from the study.Based on the outcome of the follow-up(whether Alzheimer's disease occurred), the aMCI participants were divided into two groups: stable aMCI group and progressive aMCI group.The Chinese version of the Brief Mental State Examination(MMSE), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA), the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale(CDR), and the Auditory Word Learning Test(AVLT)were utilized to evaluate the overall mental and cognitive status of the subjects.Pearson correlation analysis was employed to investigate the relationship between structural network changes and cognitive decline.Logistic regression was performed to analyze the predictive ability of structural network changes in determining the onset of AD.Results:Compared to the stable aMCI group, the progressive aMCI group exhibited lower levels of global efficiency( P=0.002), local efficiency( P=0.007), feeder connections( P=0.003), local connections( P=0.008), and right precuneus nodal efficiency( P=0.010).Correlation analysis revealed that global efficiency( r=0.604, P=0.002), feeder connections( r=0.513, P=0.012), and right precuneus nodal efficiency( r=0.504, P=0.014)were correlated with AVLT-delay scores(baseline)in the progressive aMCI group.A logistic regression model demonstrated that global efficiency, feeder connections, and right precuneus nodal efficiency could significantly predict the onset of AD(all P<0.05, AUCunited=0.797, 95% CI: 0.684-0.884, sensitivity=73.91, 95% CI: 51.6-89.8, specificity=76.60, 95% CI: 62.0-87.7). Conclusions:Among participants with aMCI, individuals who exhibit lower global efficiency, feeder connections, or right precuneus nodal efficiency are at a higher risk of developing AD.These indicators are anticipated to serve as new targets for clinical intervention.
