OBJECTIVE To analyze the influential factors for clinical efficacy of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) pulmonary infection. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with CRAB pulmonary infection in our hospital from May 2021 to October 2024. Information such as age, gender, admitting department, infection status, underlying medical conditions, mechanical ventilation time, combination anti-infective treatment regimens, and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE-Ⅱ) score 24 h before medication was compiled. Based on the effectiveness of the treatment, patients were divided into treatment-effective group and treatment-ineffective group. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were employed to identify independent factors influencing clinical efficacy. RESULTS A total of 156 patients were included, and 108 patients were treated effectively, with an effective rate of 69.23%. The results of univariate analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences between 2 groups in terms of the duration of mechanical ventilation time, APACHE-Ⅱ score 24 h before medication, the number of complication types, the proportion of abnormal coagulation function, anti-infective treatment course, and hospital stay before medication (P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication [OR=2.965, 95%CI (1.284, 6.845), P=0.020], mechanical 20251606) ventilation time≥10 d [OR=3.577, 95%CI (1.185, 10.793), P=0.037] and hospital stay≥14 d before medication [OR=2.422, 95%CI (1.036, 5.654), P=0.041] were independent 15120420253@139.com risk factors, and anti-infective treatment course>7 d was a protective factor [OR=0.445, 95%CI (0.221, 0.895), P=0.043]. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the effective rate of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of CRAB pulmonary infection is less than 70%. The mechanical ventilation time≥10 d, APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication, and hospital stay≥14 d before medication may lead to treatment failure, whereas anti-infective treatment course>7 d may be associated with treatment success.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the influential factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB). METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI database, Wanfang database and VIP database, the studies about the influential factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of adult patients with severe infections caused by MDR-GNB from the database construction to April 30, 2025. After screening literature, extracting data and evaluating the quality of literature, systematic review was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 14 studies involving 2 033 patients were included, of which 1 355 patients showed effective treatment outcomes. The meta-analysis results showed that Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-Ⅱ > 20 [OR=4.50, 95%CI (2.28, 8.85), P<0.001], malignant tumor [OR=1.96, 95%CI (1.41, 2.72), P<0.001], hemodialysis [OR=2.09, 95%CI (1.40, 3.12), P<0.001], septic shock [OR=3.07, 95%CI (2.00, 4.72), P<0.001], mechanical ventilation [OR=2.31, 95%CI (1.57, 3.39), P<0.001], coagulation dysfunction [OR= 3.03, 95%CI (2.09, 4.37), P<0.001], glucocorticoids use>3 days [OR=2.26, 95%CI (1.14, 4.45), P=0.020], and longer hospitalization time before using tigecycline [OR=3.33, 95%CI (1.34, 8.30), P=0.010] were risk factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in treatment of severe infections caused by MDR-GNB. Tigecycline initial double-dose regimen [OR=0.23, 95%CI (0.13, 0.42), P<0.001], combination therapy [OR=0.15, 95%CI (0.05, 0.48), P=0.001], and prolonged treatment course [OR=0.91, 95%CI (0.88, 0.95), P<0.001] were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS There are many influential factors for the clinical efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of severe infections caused by MDR-GNB, among which APACHE-Ⅱ score>20, malignant tumor, hemodialysis, septic shock, mechanical ventilation, coagulation dysfunction, glucocorticoids>3 d and longer hospitalization time before using tigecycline before tigecycline (No.20251606) use are risk factors; tigecycline double dose, combined medication and longer treatment course are protective factors.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the association of the expression of WW domain-containing ubiquitin E3 ligase 1 (WWP1) with immune infiltration in tumor microenvironment (TME) of ovarian cancer.
METHODS:
Ovarian cancer patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used to analyze the association of WWP1 expression with patient prognosis. TISCH2 was utilized to analyze the changes in immune cell subtypes in TME of metastatic tumor and after chemotherapy. The impact of WWP1 on immune cell infiltration, somatic copy number alterations of WWP1 and evolution of immune cell subtypes was evaluated using TIMER and TIGER pseudo-time analysis. A deep learning model was used to analyze TCGA pathological images to investigate the effect of WWP1 on TME of ovarian cancer. RNA-seq analysis was conducted to identify the differentially expressed genes in WWP1-overexpressing SKOV3 cells and validate immune infiltration. Multicolor immunofluorescence assay was used to analyze the immune markers in SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP cell xenografts in nude mice.
RESULTS:
The patients with high WWP1 expression levels had significantly lower overall survival rate (P=0.0012). High WWP1 expression levels and Stage IV disease were both associated with a poor prognosis (P<0.05). In metastatic ovarian cancer or after chemotherapy, the percentages of malignant tumor cells and tumor-associated fibroblasts increased in the TME, accompanied by elevated WWP1 levels. WWP1 expression level was positively correlated with pro-tumorigenic immunosuppressive cells (r=0.1323-0.3955, P<0.05) and negatively with tumor-inhibiting immune cells (r=-0.1949- -0.1333, P<0.05). Specific copy number alterations of WWP1 also influenced CD8+ T cell percentage and neutrophil infiltration levels in the TME. RNA-seq analysis of WWP1-overexpressing SKOV3 cells and immunofluorescence assay of the tumor-bearing mice yielded findings consistent with those of bioinformatics analysis.
CONCLUSIONS
WWP1 may serve as a prognostic biomarker and a potential target for immune regulation in the TME of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To study and analyze the status quo and influencing factors of breast cancer patients′ concern about the upbringing of their minor children, and to provide a reference for clinical improvement of the level of breast cancer patients′ concern about parenting.Methods:A total of 247 breast cancer patients in the daytime ward of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from March to May 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, Parenting Concerns Questionnaire, Parenting Sense of Competence Scale were selected for cross-sectional investigation. The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of breast cancer patients′ worries about the upbringing of their minor children.Results:Finally, 240 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected. There were 12 patients with breast cancer aged 20-29 years old, 76 patients aged 30-39 years old, 117 patients aged 40-49 years old, and 35 patients aged ≥50 years old. The total score of breast cancer patients′anxiety about minor children′s rearing was (37.34 ± 2.56) points. The scores of each dimension were in order of (15.14 ± 1.02) worry about the actual impact on children, (11.15 ± 0.83) worry about the emotional impact on children, and (11.05 ± 0.71) worry about the parents of children. The total score of parenting competence (66.54 ± 11.68) points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that parenting competence, educational level, number of underage children, per capita monthly income of families, and TNM stage (T: tumor primary lesion; N: regional lymphnode involvement; M: remote metastasis situation) affected parenting anxiety ( t values were -15.24-8.56, all P<0.05), which could explain 81.2% of the total variation in parenting anxiety level. Conclusions:Breast cancer patients′ concern about the upbringing of minor children is at a medium level, so medical staff should give relevant intervention measures to breast cancer patients with different characteristics, in order to provide reference for reducing the level of concern about the upbringing of minor children.

Objective:To analyze the phenotype and genotype of congenital myasthenic syndrome type 10 (CMS10) caused by DOK7 gene mutation, and to conduct a literature review and summary of this disease. Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and genetic test results of a patient with CMS10 in Affiliated Nanjing Brain Hospital, Nanjing Medical University in January 2020 was conducted. Whole exon sequencing was applied to high-throughput screen the pathogenic gene in this patient. After finding candidate variants, pathogenic classification was done according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology guideline. Sanger sequencing was applied to verify the mutation. Then all patients with DOK7 gene mutations were summarized by searching the literatures through PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang database. Results:The patient was a 51-year-old man who clinically presented with fluctuating quadriparesis and respiratory distress. He was diagnosed as CMS10 with compound mutations in DOK7 (c.1296_1311del16/c.332-1G>A) by clinical information and whole exon and Sanger sequencing. And c.332-1G>A was found to be a novel mutation. Literature review showed that patients with CMS10 with DOK7 gene mutations presented dominant weakness in proximal limbs and axial muscles. Patients with CMS10 would show periodic exacerbation in disease duration with slow progression. Among 71 mutations, frameshift mutation was the most frequent type (38.0%, 27/71), followed by missense mutation (32.4%, 23/71). Exon 7 (35.2%, 25/71) and exon 4 (26.8%, 19/71) were the hotspot regions. c.1124_1127dupTGCC was the most frequent mutation (43.2%, 140/324). The age of onset in patients with homozygous c.1124_1127dupTGCC was older than that in patients with compound heterozygous c.1124_1127dupTGCC [7.5(3.6, 19.8) years vs 1.3(0, 3.8) years, U=350.000, P<0.001]. Conclusions:CMS10 is a slowly progressive autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness, with muscle weakness distribution similar to limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Frameshift mutation is the most common type in DOK7 gene associated CMS10. c.1124_1127dupTGCC in C-terminal is the most frequent mutation. Early identification of DOK7 gene associated CMS10 is crucial for the treatment and prognosis of this disease.

【Objective】 To evaluate the detection and distribution characteristics of anti-P1 in tumor patients, so as to aid in blood screening and transfusion safety. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 112 658 tumor patients who underwent blood preparation and transfusion in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and column agglutination technique was used to perform transfusion compatibility test. 【Results】 A total of 1 079 (0.96%, 1 079/112 658) cases were detected with unexpected antibodies, of which 71 (6.58%, 71/1 079) were identified as anti-P1. In anti-P1 cases, 59.15% (42/71) were males; 60.56% had no pregnancy history (P<0.01); 29.58% (21/71), 52.11%(37/71), 12.68%(9/71) and 5.63%(4/71) of anti-P1 patients were with type A, B, O and AB, respectively. 57 cases of anti-P1 patients (80.28%) had difficulty in ABO blood group identification. The incidence of interfering in patients with type B was higher than that of other blood types (P<0.05), as the frequency of w+ in reverse blood typing was higher than other reactive patterns (P<0.05). The incidence of gastric tumor and brain space-occupying lesion in patients with anti-P1 was higher than that in patients with other alloantibodies, while the incidence of gynecological tumors was lower (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Anti-P1 affects the ABO blood group identification of tumor patients, and most of them had difficulty in ABO blood group identification. Compared with patients with other alloantibodies, patients with anti-P1 are more likely to be male and suffer from gastric and brain tumors, but less likely from gynecological tumors.
