Objective:To summarize clinical characteristics and prognosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) -related Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) /toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with ICI-related SJS/TEN in Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University from January 2018 to October 2023. Data on clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, treatment and prognosis of the patients were analyzed.Results:A total of 9 patients were diagnosed with ICI-related SJS/TEN, including 8 males and 1 female, with the onset age ranging from 58 to 77 (67.56 ± 7.33) years. ICI were applied to all the 9 patients before onset of SJS/TEN. The latent period was 6 - 261 d, and the median duration was 76 d. All the patients presented with erythema as initial lesions, 3 cases with target lesions, 6 with blisters, and 5 cases with a positive Nikolsky's sign. Oral mucosal damage occurred in 7 cases, eye damage occurred in 6 cases, and urogenital damage occurred in 6 cases. All the 9 cases were treated with systematic glucocorticoids, 7 cases with intravenous immunoglobulin and 7 cases with antibiotics. Eight cases recovered and 1 case died. Among 6 patients followed for an average of 6.92 months, none achieved complete or partial remission, 3 died and 3 experienced disease progression.Conclusions:ICI-related SJS/TEN occurred with a relatively long latent period, and all the cases presented with erythema initially, with mucosal damage present in most of the cases. Management required discontinuation of ICI, and most patients recovered with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, however, the prognosis for the primary malignancy remained poor.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the long-term outcome of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with KMT2B gene-related dystonia. Methods:Seven patients with KMT2B gene-related dystonia who were treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled. Whole-exome sequencing was used to detect genetic variations, and clinical phenotypes were summarized. All patients underwent DBS surgery and were followed up at 6 months, 3 years, and 5 years post-surgery. The therapeutic effects of DBS were evaluated by Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFMDRS), including BFMDRS Motor Subscale (BFMDRS-M) and Disability Subscale (BFMDRS-D). Results:The preoperative BFMDRS-M and BFMDRS-D scores were 60.43±27.12 and 17.00±6.24, respectively. The most significant improvements were observed at 6 months post-surgery, with the BFMDRS-M and BFMDRS-D scores being 20.64±5.50 and 9.57±1.72, reflecting improvements of 65.8% and 43.7%, respectively, both with statistically significant differences ( t=4.342, P=0.005; t=2.828, P=0.030). At 3 years post-surgery, the BFMDRS-M and BFMDRS-D scores were 26.20±8.68 and 10.50±2.74, representing improvements of 56.7% ( t=3.045, P=0.029) and 38.2% ( t=2.012, P=0.100), respectively. At 5 years post-surgery, the BFMDRS-M and BFMDRS-D scores were 27.80±14.87 and 11.00±2.83, with improvements of 54.0% ( t=1.824, P=0.142) and 35.3% ( t=1.933, P=0.125), respectively. At the 5-year postoperative follow-up, the patients′ cervical dystonia improved by 78.9%, while the upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk dystonia improved by 57.8%, 56.6%, and 58.0%, respectively. However, only 1 patient showed significant improvement in the language function. Conclusions:DBS showed good therapeutic effects on KMT2B gene-related dystonia, but the efficacy declined over time. Significant improvements were observed in patients′ cervical, limb and trunk dystonia, but the improvement in language function was not significant.

Based on whole genome data, the identification and expression pattern analysis of the Atropa belladonna WRKY transcription factor family were conducted to provide a theoretical foundation for studying the biological functions and mechanisms of these transcription factors. In this study, bioinformatics methods were employed to identify members of the A. belladonna WRKY gene family and to predict their physicochemical properties, conserved motifs, promoter cis-acting elements, and chromosomal localization. Additionally, the expression patterns of the A. belladonna WRKY gene family under the regulation of environmental factors such as light quality and temperature were analyzed. The results revealed a total of 28 AbWRKY transcription factors, randomly distributed across 16 chromosomes, encoding 324-707 amino acids. Most AbWRKY proteins were acidic, unstable, and hydrophilic. Based on multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis, the WRKY gene family members were classified into two subfamilies. Conserved motif and domain analysis indicated that WRKY transcription factors in the same subfamily possessed conserved structural features. Promoter analysis predicted that the A. belladonna WRKY family contained light-responsive elements, hormone-responsive elements, and stress-responsive elements. Collinearity analysis showed that AbWRKY24 plays a crucial role in the expansion of the AbWRKY gene family. Then qRT-PCR results indicated that AbWRKY6, AbWRKY8, AbWRKY14, and AbWRKY24 responded to red light stress, while AbWRKY8, AbWRKY14, and AbWRKY24 responded to yellow light/low-temperature combined stress. AbWRKY6 and AbWRKY8 were significantly expressed in leaves and stems, AbWRKY27 and AbWRKY28 were significantly expressed in fibrous roots, and AbWRKY25 was significantly expressed in flowers. This study is the first to identify and analyze the WRKY gene family in A. belladonna and to examine its expression patterns under light and temperature regulation, laying a foundation for in-depth analysis and functional validation of the molecular mechanisms of A. belladonna WRKY transcription factors in responding to light quality and temperature environmental factors.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has become an increasingly serious public health issue, characterized by high incidence and high disability rates. It often coexists with other mental health problems and physical diseases, with a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life. In clinical practice, MDD is considered a heterogeneous disease. The complexity of the pathological mechanisms and the variability in treatment responses lead to a lack of clear therapeutic targets, which complicates the treatment process. In recent years, with advancements in neuroscience, the crucial role of microglia in the pathogenesis of MDD has been revealed. As the main immune cells in the brain, microglia are not only involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation but also play important roles in neurogenesis and neuronal regulation in MDD. This article mainly discusses the role of microglia in the pathophysiological mechanisms of MDD, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for microglia as a potential target for the treatment of MDD.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and interventions associated with drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room.Methods:Bases on the adverse drug reaction database from the emergency medicine center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, clinical data of patients who experienced drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room between November 2019 and November 2023 were collected, including gender, age, history of previous adverse drug reactions, allergy history, Charlson comorbidity index, medication details, information related to drug-induced anaphylaxis (onset time, clinical manifestations), interventions, outcomes, and follow-up. The clinical characteristics and interventions in these patients were analyzed.Results:During the study period, a total of 398 772 patients in the emergency infusion room in our hospital received intravenous infusion of drugs. Of them, 625 cases developed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and 75 cases developed drug-induced anaphylaxis, accounting for 0.02% (75/398 772) of the total infusion patients and 12.0% (75/625) of all ADR cases. Of the 75 patients with anaphylaxis, 30 cases (40%) were classified as grade Ⅱ, and 45 cases (60%) as grade Ⅲ, with no grade Ⅳ cases. The most common drugs involved in 75 cases of anaphylaxis were anti-infective drugs (41 cases, 54.7%). Drug-induced anaphylaxis exhibited diverse clinical manifestations, with cardiovascular symptoms being the most common, primarily varying degrees of transient hypotension (67 cases, 89.3%), followed by systemic and neurological symptoms, including profuse sweating (31 cases, 41.3%) and dizziness (28 cases, 37.3%). All 75 patients with anaphylaxis were treated with measures such as discontinuation of medication, replacement of infusion sets, rapid assessment of circulation and respiration, and monitoring of vital signs, of which 65 (86.7%) received rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, 6 (8.0%) received intravenous injection of glucocorticoids, 3 (4.0%) received intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg epinephrine, and 2 (2.7%) received antihistamines. All 75 patients showed improvement in symptoms, and no sequelae or deaths were found.Conclusions:In the emergency infusion room, the severity of anaphylaxis is mainly grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ with a good prognosis after timely intervention. The treatment measures mainly focus on rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, and the use of epinephrine is relatively low.
