OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of three individualized drug delivery tools， i.e. JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose， in predicting tacrolimus dose and blood concentration after kidney transplantation， and analyze the influential factors of prediction accuracy. METHODS The clinical data of adult hospitalized patients treated with tacrolimus after kidney transplantation from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. Three individualized dosing tools， i.e. JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose， were used to predict the dose and plasma concentration of tacrolimus. The absolute prediction error （APE） and prediction error （PE） between the measured value and the predicted value， and prediction success rate were calculated （APE＜30% indicating a good forecast）. Pearson assay or Spearman assay was used to analyze the correlation between the predicted dosage and actual dosage， as well as the predicted and measured blood concentration values using three software； univariate analysis was used to investigate the influential factors for prediction accuracy of JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose. RESULTS A total of 110 hospitalized patients were included in this study， and tacrolimus doses and plasma concentrations were monitored. The predicted doses of JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose were （2.0±0.7）， （2.7±1.9）， （1.8±0.8） mg， their measured value was （1.9±0.6） mg， and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.841， 0.450， 0.247 （P＜0.001）； the median APEs were 6.00%， 52.07% and 30.40%， and the median PEs were 5.00%， 18.50% and －3.50%； the prediction success rates were 98.45%， 30.05% and 49.22%. The predicted values of tacrolimus concentrations using JPKD， SmartDose， NextDose were （6.74±3.36）， （6.93±5.02）， 9.00（5.80±12.60） ng/mL， the measured value was 8.64（7.11，9.77） ng/mL， and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.997 （P＜0.001）， －0.066 （P＝0.360）， 0.920 （P＜0.001）. The median APEs were 5.54%， 45.91% and 35.56%， and PEs were －4.94% （median）， －17.050% （median） and 36.93% （average value）； the prediction success rates were 97.93%， 32.64% and 37.31%. Univariate analysis showed that the dosage， blood concentration， body weight， transplantation time and others were related to the prediction accuracy （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The good prediction rates of tacrolimus dose and blood concentration in kidney transplant patients using three personalized drug delivery tools， from high to low， are JPKD， NextDose， and SmartDose， suggesting that JPKD can be prioritized in clinical use.

【Objective】 To analyze the correlation between deformational plagiocephaly and/or brachycephaly (DPB) and motor developmental delay in infants, so as to provide theoretical basis for early motor development screening and intervention in DPB infants. 【Methods】 A total of 7 826 children aged 6 - 12 months who visited Mianyang Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were inlcuded in this study. DPB infants were selected as the study subjects, and the prevalence rate was analyzed. 2 761 DPB infants were divided into mild, moderate, and severe DPB groups, and 1 900 normal children were included as the control group. Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-2 (PDMS-2) was used to evaluate the levels of gross and fine motor development in children in each case group and control group. Univariate analysis and LSD-t test were used to analyze the differences in gross motor quotient (GMQ) and fine motor quotient (FMQ) of children in each group. χ² test was used to analyze the rate of motor developmental delay in children in each group. 【Results】 The prevalence rate of DPB was 35.47%. There were statistically significant differences in GMQ and FMQ among the mild DPB group, moderate DPB group, severe DPB group, and control group (F=171.271, 194.877, P<0.05). Further statistical comparison showed that there was no statistically significant difference in GMQ and FMQ between mild DPB group and control group (P>0.05). The GMQ and FMQ of the moderate and severe DPB groups were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of developmental delay in gross and fine motor development between each case group and the control group (χ²=7.478, 5.777, P>0.05). 【Conclusions】 The prevalence of DPB in Mianyang area is relatively high, and DPB do not increase the probability of motor development delay. However, infants with moderate to severe DPB have significantly lower levels of motor development compared to healthy infants. It is recommended to screen infants with DPB as soon as possible, and conduct motor development screening and exercise promotion for infants with moderate to severe DPB.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of symptom burden and extract symptom clusters in lung cancer patients at the end of thoracic radiotherapy.Methods Lung cancer patients receiving Thoracic Radiotherapy were collected from 20 tertiary hospitals in China,including Guang'anmen Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine,during November 2014—September 2017,and the MDASI-TCM scale assessed patient symptoms at the end of radiotherapy,and descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis explored symptom burden and the distribution of TCM symptom clusters.Results At the end of radiotherapy,45.1%of patients reported two or more moderate to severe symptoms,with fatigue being the most prevalent and severe symptom.Fatigue(31.4%),cough(30.9%),expectoration(24.1%),distress(23.2%)and shortness of breath(20.9%)were the top five symptoms from the highest to the lowest in the incidence of moderate to severe symptoms.The enjoyment of life(36.4%)had the highest incidence of interference with moderate to severe symptoms.Exploratory Factor analysis extracted three symptom clusters,namely the excessive heat and damaged yin-Spleen and stomach disorders related symptom cluster,the heart and spleen-deficient related symptom cluster,and the lung qi-unfriendly related symptom cluster,with a cumulative variance contribution of 70.1%.Conclusion Lung cancer patients undergoing thoracic radiotherapy have a certain symptom burden at the end of radiotherapy.The identification of symptom burden and symptom group characteristics is conducive to promoting standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation and laying a preliminary foundation for formulating reasonable and effective TCM intervention measures in the future.

Objective To investigate the effect of transcription factor specific protein5(Sp5)silencing on Wnt signaling pathway correlated factors and cell proliferation ability in mouse embryo palatal mesenchymal cells(mEPMCs).Methods mEPMCs of 14.5 d pregnant C57BL/6J mice were isolated and cultured in vitro.Cell source was identified by immunofluorescence staining.Lentivirus transfection technique was used to silence the expression of Sp5 gene in mEPMCs,and the transfection efficiency was verified by Western blot assay.Follow-up experiments were set up with the blank control group,the no-load virus group and the slience group(the Sp5-shRNA group).The protein and mRNA expression levels of β-catenin,GSK-3β,Wnt3a and CyclinD1 were detected by Western blot assay and RT-qPCR after transfection for 72 h in each group.Cell proliferation capacity was detected by CCK-8.The proliferation rate of 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)positive cells was detected by immunofluorescence assay.Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry.Results mEPMCs were successfully isolated,and Sp5 expression was silenced.Western blot and RT-qPCR results showed that the protein and mRNA expressions of β-catenin,GSK-3β,Wnt3a and CyclinD1 were significantly higher in the Sp5-shRNA group than those in the blank control group and the no-loaded virus group(P<0.05).The proliferative ability and the proliferative rate of EdU positive cells were higher in the Sp5-shRNA group than those in the blank control group and the no-loaded virus group(P<0.05).The proportion of mEPMCs in S phase was higher in the Sp5-shRNA group than that in the blank control group and the no-loaded virus group(P<0.05).Conclusion Sp5 in silenced mEPMCs can participate in palate development and promote the proliferation of mEPMCs by regulating Wnt signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between SLCO1B3 gene polymorphisms and early postoperative tacrolimus concentrations in renal transplant recipients. METHODS A total of 68 patients who underwent kidney transplantation in the First Hospital of Kunming were selected, tacrolimus plasma concentrations were monitored by chemoluminescence, CYP3A5*3, SLCO1B3 T334G and G699A gene polymorphisms were detected by polymerase chain reaction, and genotyping was performed to analyze the correlation between each genotype and tacrolimus plasma concentrations. RESULTS Different genotypes of CYP3A5*3 had significant effects on postoperative tacrolimus plasma concentration and standardized plasma concentration(P＜0.05), and different genotypes of SLCO1B3 T334G and G699A gene loci had no significant effect on postoperative tacrolimus plasma concentration and standardized plasma concentration. CONCLUSION Compared with CYP3A5*3/*3 genotype, CYP3A5*1 allele carriers need to reach the same tacrolimus concentration to increase tacrolimus dose. SLCO1B3 T334G and G699A gene polymorphisms has no effect on tacrolimus plasma concentration in the early stage after renal transplantation.
