OBJECTIVE To further standardize the technical operations and management processes throughout therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), clarify the clinical value of TDM implementation, improve the scientific validity and reliability of monitoring results, and provide a solid reference basis for the formulation and optimization of clinical individualized precision dosing regimens. METHODS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring were formulated in accordance with the latest definition of guidelines by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies and the standard guideline development methodology of the World Health Organization, and in compliance with the requirements of the appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluation. A modified Delphi method was adopted to establish the research question system; evidence-based medicine research methods were applied to systematically search multiple databases to screen the latest and most comprehensive evidence. Evidence was graded and evaluated based on the evidence grading system of the Chinese Evidence-Based Medicine Center, and the grading criteria for recommendation strength from the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine were used to determine the recommendation strength. The recommendation opinions were formed through multidisciplinary expert consensus. RESULTS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring cover four core modules, including TDM application indications, technical procedures, result interpretation and clinical application, and quality control, involving 18 primary research questions, 34 secondary research questions, and yield 82 recommendations. CONCLUSIONS The guidelines systematically standardize the key technical links and management requirements of the whole TDM process, provide scientific and operable standardized tools, help improve the standardization level of TDM work, promote the translation of monitoring results into clinical decision-making, and provide strong support for precision personalized medicine and ensuring the safety and rationality of medication use.

Objective To exploring the expression of microRNA-93-5p(miRNA-93-5p)and neuregulin protein 1(NRG1)in thyroid cancer tissues and their relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis.Methods Frozen tissue specimens of 136 patients with thyroid diseases who underwent surgical treatment in the hospital from January 2018 to May 2020 were selected,including 84 cases of thyroid cancer(thyroid cancer group),52 cases of benign thyroid diseases(benign thyroid disease group),and another 40 cases of normal thyroid tissues(control group).The relative expression levels of miRNA-93-5p and the positive expression rate of NRG1 in the tissues of the thyroid cancer group,the benign thyroid disease group and the control group were compared,and the relationship between the expression of miRNA-93-5p and NRG1 in patients with thyroid cancer and the clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of miRNA-93-5p and NRG1 expression.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the relationship between the expression of miRNA-93-5p and NRG1 and survival prognosis in patients with thyroid cancer.Results There were statistically significant differences in the relative expression levels of miRNA-93-5p and the positive expression rate of NRG1 among the thyroid cancer group,the benign thyroid disease group and the control group(P<0.05).The relative expression level of miRNA-93-5p in thyroid cancer tissues was negatively correlated with the positive expression rate of NRG1(r=-0.216,P=0.013).The proportion of tumor maximum diameter>1 cm,the rate of moderate and low differentiation,the rate of capsular invasion,the rate of lymphatic metastasis,and the proportion of TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ in the miRNA-93-5p high-expression group were higher than those in the miRNA-93-5p low-ex-pression group(P<0.05),and the above indicators in the NRG1 high-expression group were all lower than those in the NRG1 low-expression group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the maximum diameter of the tumor,degree of differentiation,capsular invasion,lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage were all influencing factors for the expression of miRNA-93-5p and NRG1.The 3-year cumulative survival rate of the miRNA-93-5p high-expression group was lower than that of the miRNA-93-5p low-expres-sion group(P<0.05),and the 3-year cumulative survival rate of the NRG1 high-expression group was higher than that of the NRG1 low-expression group(P<0.05).Conclusion In thyroid cancer tissues,miRNA-93-5p is highly expressed and NRG1 is lowly expressed.Both can be used as biomarkers for evaluating the survival prognosis of patients.

Neuropathic pain, a debilitating condition caused by dysfunction of the somatosensory nervous system, remains difficult to treat due to limited understanding of its molecular mechanisms. Bioinformatics analysis identified cerebellin 2 (CBLN2) as highly enriched in human and murine proprioceptive and nociceptive neurons. We found that CBLN2 expression is persistently upregulated in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) following spinal nerve ligation (SNL) in mice. In addition, transcription factor SOX11 binds to 12 cis-regulatory elements within the Cbln2 promoter to enhance its transcription. SNL also induced SOX11 upregulation, with SOX11 and CBLN2 co-localized in nociceptive neurons. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of Sox11 or Cbln2 attenuated SNL-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. High-throughput sequencing of DRG following intrathecal injection of CBLN2 revealed widespread gene expression changes, including upregulation of numerous NF-κB downstream targets. Consistently, CBLN2 activated NF-κB signaling, and inhibition with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate reduced CBLN2-induced pain hypersensitivity, proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines production, and neuronal hyperexcitability. Together, these findings identified the SOX11/CBLN2/NF-κB axis as a critical mediator of neuropathic pain and a promising target for therapeutic intervention.

Objective It compared the power consumption and electrical parameters between Thulium fiber laser devices(TFL)and Holmium laser devices(HoL)in transurethral enucleation of prostate(TUEP).Methods A sin-gle surgeon conducted TUEP by THL or HoL in 10 patients respectively.The enucleation efficiency,the laser energy output and the electric parameters were recorded and analyzed.Results The data from both groups of surgeries were tested for normal distribution,and the t-test found that the difference in the enucleation efficiency between the two surgeries was not statistically significant(P=0.818),and the energy consumption indexes of the two devices were comparable.The difference in the total kilojoules of laser emission between the two lasers during surgery was not statistically significant(P=0.148),but the power consumption of the thulium laser was about one-tenth of that of the holmium laser(P<0.001),suggesting that the former utilised electrical energy significantly more efficiently than the latter.The maximum current of the HoL was significantly higher than that of the TFL(P<0.001),requiring a spe-cial high-power power outlet.Conclusion TFL was superior to HoL in terms of lower power consumption,higher en-ergy-efficient and electrical convenient in transurethral enucleation of the prostate.
