OBJECTIVE To introduce a case of interstitial pneumonia induced by vedolizumab (VDZ), summarize and analyze the characteristics of the occurrence of VDZ-associated lung toxicity, and provide a reference for the clinically safe use of drugs. METHODS From the perspective of clinical pharmacists, the diagnosis and treatment of a case of VDZ-induced interstitial pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed, and the association of adverse drug reactions (ADR) was analyzed. Retrieving from Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science, case reports of VDZ-associated lung toxicity were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS The patient developed interstitial pneumonia during the use of VDZ and empirical anti- infective therapy with antibiotics was ineffective. After withdrawal of VDZ and treatment with methylprednisolone, symptoms and imaging examinations improved, but interstitial pneumonia still existed. According to Naranjo’s ADR evaluation scale and based on China Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring Manual, the association between VDZ and interstitial pneumonia was “very likely”. Results of the literature analysis showed that among 29 involved patients (including the patient reported in this article), there were 19 males and 10 females, with an average age of (49.24±17.06) years. Lung toxicity mainly included VDZ- associated pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia, pulmonary granulomas or necrobiotic nodules, interstitial lung injury, etc., which mostly occurred ≤24 weeks after medication (58.62%). The main clinical manifestations included cough, dyspnea and fever. The vast majority of patients improved or recovered after drug withdrawal and/or glucocorticoid treatment, but one patient died of respiratory failure. CONCLUSIONS Lung toxicity is a rare ADR of VDZ with insidious onset and nonspecific symptoms. Once patients experience symptoms such as cough and dyspnea, early diagnosis,timely drug withdrawal,and symptomatic treatment measures such as glucocorticoid should be taken to ensure medication safety.

BACKGROUND:
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a severe congenital disorder characterized by vaginal hypoplasia caused by dysplasia of the Müllerian duct. Patients with MRKH syndrome often require nonsurgical or surgical treatment to achieve satisfactory vaginal length and sexual outcomes. The extracellular matrix has been successfully used for vaginal reconstruction.
METHODS:
In this study, we developed a new biological material derived from porcine vagina (acellular vaginal matrix, AVM) to reconstruct the vagina in Bama miniature pigs. The histological characteristics and efficacy of acellularization of AVM were evaluated, and AVM was subsequently transplanted into Bama miniature pigs to reconstruct the vaginas.
RESULTS:
Macroscopic analysis showed that the neovaginas functioned well in all Bama miniature pigs with AVM implants. Histological analysis and electrophysiological evidence indicated that morphological and functional recovery was restored in normal vaginal tissues. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the neovaginas had mucosal folds characteristics of normal vagina. No significant differences were observed in the expression of CK14, HSP47, and a-actin between the neovaginas and normal vaginal tissues. However, the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) was significantly lower in the neovaginas than in normal vaginal tissues. In addition, AVM promoted the expression of b-catenin, c-Myc, and cyclin D1. These results suggest that AVM might promotes vaginal regeneration by activating the b-catenin/cMyc/cyclin D1 pathway.
CONCLUSION
This study reveals that porcine-derived AVM has potential application for vaginal regeneration.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improve ment effect of salvianolate on renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF)model rats and its possible mechanism. METHODS :Totally 50 male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group ,model group ,losartan group (positive control group ,9 mg/kg)and salvianolate low-dose and high-dose groups (18,36 mg/kg)according to body weight ,with 10 rats in each group. Except for normal group ,other groups were given adenine 250 mg/kg intragastrically to establish RIF model. After modeling ,administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ,and normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically ,the volume was 10 mL/kg,once a day ,for consecutive 30 days. After last medication,the serum levels of creatinine (Scr),urea nitrogen (BUN)and 24 h proteinuria (24 h UPro )were detected by ELISA. HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the histopathological characteristics and fibrosis of the kidney. The degree of renal tubular injury and glomerulosclerosis were scored ,and the percentage of positive staining area of renal tissue was calculated ; immunohistochemistry and Western blot assay were used to determine the protein expression of Wnt 5a,Wnt5b,and β-catenin. RESULTS:Compared with normal group ,Scr,BUN and 24 h UPro levels ,renal tubular injury score , glomerulosclerosis score , the percentage of positive staining area in renal tissue ,the protein expression of Wnt 5a and β-catenin were increased significantly in model group (P<0.05),while the expression of Wnt 5b protein was decreased significantly (P<0.05). Pathological changes such as mesangial hyperplasia ,fibrous tissue increase and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed under microscope. Compared with model group ,above indexes of rats were improved significantly in losartan group ,salvianolate low-dose and high-dose groups (P< 0.05),and the effect of salvianolate had dose-dependent trend. CONCLUSIONS :Salvianolate has the improvement effect on RIF model rats induced by adenine ,and its mechanism may be related to inhibition of Wnt/ β-catenin signal pathway.

Objective:To explore the impact of pediatric nurses' presenteeism behavior and emotional commitment on psychological capital, so as to provide a reference for promoting pediatric nurses' positive organizational behaviors.Methods:From July to August 2020, convenience sampling was used to select pediatric nurses from three ClassⅢ hospitals in Henan Province as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, Presenteeism Behavior Questionnaire, Emotional Commitment Scale and Psychological Capital Scale were used for investigation. Pearson correlation and structural equation model were used to analyze the relationship between presenteeism behavior, emotional commitment and psychological capital. A total of 897 questionnaires were distributed, and 673 valid questionnaires were returned with the effective response rate of 75.03%.Results:Among 673 pediatric nurses, the scores of the Presenteeism Behavior Questionnaire, Emotional Commitment Scale and Psychological Capital Scale were (6.16±1.52) , (28.26±5.67) and (81.40±10.60) respectively. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that presenteeism behavior was negatively correlated with emotional commitment and psychological capital ( P<0.05) , and emotional commitment was positively correlated with psychological capital ( P<0.01) , and the differences were statistically significant. The structural equation model showed that presenteeism behavior and emotional commitment had a direct effect on psychological capital (effect values were -0.32 and 0.42, respectively) , and presenteeism behavior also had an indirect effect on psychological capital through emotional commitment (effect value was -0.48) . Conclusions:Emotional commitment acts as an intermediary between presenteeism behavior and psychological capital. Nursing managers should take effective measures to create a good organizational atmosphere, reduce presenteeism behavior, and improve the psychological capital of pediatric nurses.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) and its differential diagnosis from other serrated lesions.
METHODSClinicopathological features of all cases of colorectal serrated lesions from 5 209 colorectal biopsy samples at Shanghai Tongji Hospital from 2008 to 2013 were reviewed. Three hundred and fifty-three cases of serrated lesions were erolled in the study. Morphological features of SSA/P were investigated with an emphasis on histologic criteria for diagnosis and a literature review was performed.
RESULTSThree hundred and fifty-three cases of serrated lesions were identified, including 25 SSA/P (7.1%), 278 hyperplastic polyp (HP, 78.8%), and 44 traditional serrated adenoma (TSA, 12.5%). Twenty-five patients with SSA/P consisted of 16 males and 9 females with a mean age of 62.2 years (aged 34-84 years) and the lesions involved sigmoid colon (14 cases), ascending colon (9 cases), rectum (1 case) and transverse colon (1 case). Grossly, the majority of SSA/P was sessile with an averaged size of 0.73 cm. Histologically, typical SSA/P had elongated crypts with prominent serration and distorted crypts architecture. The detection rates of crypts dilatation and branching in SSA/P and HP were 100% (25/25) and 24% (12/50, P < 0.01), 72% (18/25) and 4% (2/50, P < 0.01), respectively. Morphological features observed only in SSA/P included L-shaped crypts (48%, 12/25), pseudo infiltration of mucosa muscle (16%, 4/25), atypical nuclei (32%, 8/25), and increased mucus secretion (24%, 6/25).
CONCLUSIONSSSA/P microscopically shows prominent serration and abnormal architectures of crypts. Complete tissue sectioning and correct embedding are helpful for the diagnosis. SSA/P without cytological dysplasia should be distinguished from HP, especially those with only a few distorted crypts.

Objective To build the relationship model of childhood aubuse, personality, insecurity and dissociative trait in medical students. Methods Through stratified sampling,262 medical students were investiga?ted by the Personal Report of Childhood Abuse( PRCA) ,Dissociative Trait Scale( DTS) ,Self?Rating Feeling of In?security Scale( SRFIS) ,Revised NEO Five?Factor Inventory( NEO?FFI?R) . A path analysis was applied by AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) version 7.0. Results ①Childhood abuse was positively related to insecurity, dissociative trait and neuroticism( r=0.248~0.361, P<0.01) ,but was passively related to extraversion,agreeable?ness and conscientiousness( r=-0.168~-0.250, P<0.01). Insecurity was positively related to dissociative trait and neuroticism( r=0.479~0.522, P<0.01) ,but was passively related to extraversion,agreeableness and conscien?tiousness( r=-0.234~-0.324, P<0.01). Dissociative trait was positively related to neuroticism( r=0.597, P<0.01) ,but was passively related to openness, extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness ( r=-0. 133~-0.453, P<0.05). ②The path analysis showed that childhood abuse was directly related to insecurity(B=0.339, P<0.01)and personality(B=-0.226, P<0.01)of medical students. Personality was directly related to insecurity and dissociative( B=-0.609~-0.363, P<0.01) . Insecurity was directly related to dissociative trait( B=0.448, P<0.01) . Personality and insecurity mediated entirely the relationship between childhood abuse and dissociative trait of medical students. The model fit indexes were χ2/ df =1.151<3.000, P=O.080>0.05,RMSEA=0.024<0.050, GFI=0.935,AGFI=0.909,NFI=0.923,RFI=0.902,IFI=0.989,TLI=0.986 and CFI=0.989. Conclusion Per?sonality and insecurity as mediated variable mediate the relationship between childhood abuse and dissociative trait of medical students. Childhood abuse has no direct effect on dissociative trait of medical students.
