ObjectiveTo study the effect of Taikong Yangxin Pills on the metabolism of simulated weightless rats based on metabolomics and discuss the metabolism mechanism. MethodsIn the simulated space capsule environment on the ground， the rat model of simulated weightlessness was established by the tail suspension method. Rats were randomly grouped as follows： out-of-capsule control， in-capsule control， model， and high （3.0 g·kg^-1） and low （1.5 g·kg^-1） doses of Taikong Yangxin Pills， and they were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage for 28 days. The serum levels of endogenous metabolites in rats were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF/MS）. The obtained data were processed by principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） to screen for differential metabolites and potential biomarkers. MetaboAnalyst 5.0 was used for pathway enrichment analysis to explain the metabolic regulation mechanism of the drug. ResultsCompared with the out-of-capsule control group， the in-capsule control group showed elevated levels of thirteen metabolites， including 14-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid， linoleic acid， and α-linolenic acid （P<0.05）， which suggested that the space capsule environment mainly affected the metabolism of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid in the rats. Compared with the in-capsule control group， the model group showed lowered levels of fourteen metabolites， including 4-imidazolone-5-propionic acid， isocitric acid/citric acid， and L-tyrosine （P<0.05）， which were recovered after the treatment with Taikong Yangxin pills （P<0.05）. The pathway enrichment analysis revealed that weightlessness induced by tail suspension and drug intervention mainly involved the phenylalanine， tyrosine， and tryptophan biosynthesis， tyrosine metabolism， histidine metabolism， and citric acid cycle. ConclusionThe simulated space capsule environment and simulated weightlessness induced by tail suspension can both affect the metabolism level of rats. Taikong Yangxin pills can ameliorate the metabolic abnormality in the rat model of weightlessness by regulating various amino acids and energy metabolism-related pathways.

BackgroundIn recent years， the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea （OSA） is escalating in China， leading to a serious disease burden. However， previous studies on the influencing factors of OSA， such as obesity and sleep position， were mostly cross-sectional studies. This approach inherently hinders the identification of dynamic interaction mechanism among multiple variables， consequently obstructing the formulation of individualized intervention strategies. ObjectiveTo investigate the differences in body mass index （BMI）-oxygen saturation-sleep position-heart rate variability （HRV） network models between OSA and non-OSA populations， thereby offering a reference for the early detection and management of OSA. MethodsA total of 384 adult participants undergoing sleep monitoring at the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from July 12， 2022 to October 11， 2023 were included. Subjects were categorized into OSA group （n=203） and control group （n=181） based on an apnea-hypopnea index （AHI） threshold of 5 events per hour. Subsequently， BMI-oxygen saturation-sleep position-HRV networks were constructed and compared between two groups. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the overall edge weight （P=0.55） and overall strength （P=0.28） of the network model between control group and OSA group. Notable differences emerged in both the node connection strength （e.g.， minimum oxygen saturation with BMI， sleep in prone position， and mean RR interval） and node centrality indices （mean oxygen saturation， minimum oxygen saturation， AHI in upright position， AHI in right lateral position and mean heart rate） within the two network models （P<0.05）. ConclusionSignificant differences are observed between the non-OSA and OSA populations in specific factors， including sleep position， heart rate and oxygen saturation.

Objective To investigate the influence of metabolism-related factors(overweight and/or obesity,hyperglycemia,hypertension and dyslipidemia)on the 90-day prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure(HBV-ACLF),and to establish a predictive model.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 365 patients with HBV-ACLF who were hospitalized in Department of Infectious Diseases,The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University,from June 2018 to June 2022,and according to the 90-day follow-up results,they were divided into survival group with 273 patients and death group with 92 patients.General information and related laboratory markers were collected from all patients.The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups,and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distribution continuous data between groups;the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.A Logistic regression analysis was used to determine whether metabolism-related factors were independent risk factors for the 90-day prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients,and the Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to investigate the correlation between metabolism-related factors and the 90-day survival rate of HBV-ALCF patients.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)was used to compare the value of different scoring models in predicting the 90-day prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients.Results The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension(odds ratio[OR]=4.698,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.904-11.593,P=0.001),alanine aminotransferase(OR=0.999,95%CI:0.999-1.000,P=0.010),triglyceride(TG)(OR=4.979,95%CI:2.433-10.189,P＜0.001),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(OR=0.258,95%CI:0.087-0.762,P=0.012),apolipoprotein B(OR=0.118,95%CI:0.026-0.547,P=0.006),and CLIF-C OF score(OR=2.275,95%CI:1.150-4.502,P＜0.001)were independent influencing factors for the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF.The combined predictive model of metabolism-related factors had a larger AUC than the predictive model of a single factor,among which the predictive model of hypertension+TG+CLIF-C OF score had the largest AUC of 0.886.The patients with metabolism-related factors tended to have higher incidence rate of liver complications and 30-and 90-day mortality rates.Conclusion The presence of the metabolism-related factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia can increase the severity of HBV-ACLF and the risk of short-term mortality,and the hypertension+TG+CLIF-C OF score predictive model has a good value in predicting the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients.

Objective To analyze the risk factors and clinical characteristics of uveitis in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 30 children with JIA-associated uveitis (JIA-U )and 36 age-and gender-matched children diagnosed as simple JIA admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2016 to June 2023.The clinical data,laboratory indicators and radiological findings were collected,and analyzed for the risk factors for JIA-U with univariate and multivariate analysis.Results In this study,JIA-U mostly occurred in both eyes (63.3％,19/30),with anterior uveitis as the main cause (86.7％,26/30),insidious onset,and mostly occurred after JIA diagnosis (60.0％,18/30),and only 30％ showing ocular discomfort or visual impairment.Univariate analysis showed that the JIA children with oligoarthritis JIA,negative rheumatoid factor (RF)and negative anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP)were prone to be complicated with uveitis (P<0.05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that RF negativity was an independent risk factor for development of JIA-U (OR=5.400,95％ CI:1.033～28.227,P=0.046). Conclusion JIA-U of ten develops in both eyes,anterior uveitis is the most common,and it mostly diagnosed after JIA.It has no obvious eye symptoms in the early stage and thus is not easily recognized.Oligoarthritis JIA,RF-negative,and anti-CCP antibody-negative are the high-risk factors for the complication of JIA-U in children with JIA.

"Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century—A Vision and Strategy"proposed by the National Research Council of US has brought innovative directives and objectives for toxicity evaluation and risk assessment,pushing forward the next generation of toxicity testing and risk assessment.In this initiative,the concept of adverse outcome pathways(AOPs)has emerged as a prominent methodology,capturing the attention of toxicologists and researchers due to its promising applications in recent years.The quantitative AOP(qAOP)is an extension of the adverse outcome pathway,which is built upon the foundational qualitative adverse outcome pathway model and leverages mathematical frame-works to depict dose-response and/or response-response relationships.This article reviews the princi-ples and advancement surrounding qAOP,introduceds two prevalent methodologies for constructing qAOP,Bayesian network models and regression models,and demonstrates diverse applications of qAOP.Actual cases are used to underscore the transformative role of qAOP in contemporary toxicology and risk assessment practices.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between ceftazidime-avibactam(CAZ-AVI)blood concentrations and efficacy in critically ill patients and to investigate the factors influencing blood levels.Methods The CAZ-AVI trough concentrations(Cmin)were detected in 29 patients who received CAZ-AVI treatment for at least 48 hours.The clinical materials of the patients were collected together for retrospective analysis.Results The Cmin of ceftazidime(CAZ)and avibactam(AVI)were(50.95±5.17)and(7.52±0.96)mg·L-1 in the effective group and(31.16±7.03)and(5.37±1.32)mg·L-1 in the ineffective group,respectively.The Cmin of CAZ in the effective group was significantly higher than in the ineffective group(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in AVI Cmin between the two groups(P>0.05).Spearman's correlation analysis showed that CAZ Cmin was positively correlated with clinical efficacy(P<0.05),and no correlation between AVI Cmin and clinical efficacy(P>0.05).The optimal CAZ Cmin threshold was 24.59 mg·L-1.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age and creatinine clearance was significantly correlated with the Cmin of CAZ,and creatinine clearance was significantly correlated with AVI Cmin(P<0.05).Conclusions The Cmin of CAZ correlates with efficacy,and it may be more beneficial for clinical treatment to keep the concentration of CAZ-AVI always greater than the minimum inhibitory concentration during the dosing interval.The creatinine clearance should be fully considered when optimizing CAZ-AVI dosage in critically ill patients.

Polymyxins are the first-line drugs used in multidrug resistance(MDR)Gram-negative infections.Polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity is the major dose-limiting factor hindering its clinical use.It has been suggested that the mechanism of polymyxin-associated nephrotoxicity is related to its accumulation in the kidney upon extensive reabsorption from renal proximal tubular cells,and one or more renal transporters may mediate the process that polymyxins enter the renal tubular cells across cytomembrane.This review aimed to describe the roles of renal transporters in polymyxins reabsorption into the renal tubular cells and provide reference for reducing the nephrotoxicity of polymyxin.
