OBJECTIVE To analyze and evaluate serious adverse drug reaction(SADR) and drug-drug interactions(DDIs) in the real-world, so as to obtain the clinical evidence of DDIs-related SADR, and to provide a reference for rational clinical use. METHODS The SADR reports reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center from January 2011 to December 2020 were collected, and Lexi-Interaction® software in UpToDate was used to analyze ≥2 drugs in SADR to evaluate whether there were potential DDIs. And the possible adverse drug reactions caused by DDIs were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Among the 360 cases of SADR, males were slightly more than females(50.83% vs 49.17%), the mean age was (65.27±14.71) years old, and 56.39% were ≥65 years old. Cardiovascular agents were the most common implicated pharmacological group, and the gastrointestinal system was the most frequently affected system, and aspirin was the most frequently reported drug. Among 150 cases of SADR with at least two suspected drugs, 64 cases had potential DDIs, while 42 cases had clinically significant DDIs, of which only 16 and 2 cases of SADR were caused by actual DDIs in category D and X, respectively. The majority of reports(71.43%) were caused by additive pharmacodynamic interactions. Aspirin was the most common drug in both potential DDIs and actual DDIs, while aspirin and clopidogrel was the most commonly involved drug pair in actual DDIs, with gastrointestinal bleeding being the most common SADR. CONCLUSION Attention should be paid to the influence of drug interactions on SADR, and prescription should be optimized, especially in the elderly population. According to the results of potential DDIs, therapeutic drugs should be rationally selected. Meanwhile, monitoring of cardiovascular drugs and key populations should be strengthened to ensure drug safety.

Background::Limited information exists regarding the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on psoriasis patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical factors associated with the prognosis of psoriasis following SARS-CoV-2 infection.Methods::A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted between March and May 2023. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related psoriasis outcomes. The study included 2371 psoriasis patients from 12 clinical centers, with 2049 of them having been infected with SARS-CoV-2.Results::Among the infected groups, lower exacerbation rates were observed in individuals treated with biologics compared to those receiving traditional systemic or nonsystemic treatments (22.3% [236/1058] vs. 39.8% [92/231] vs. 37.5% [140/373], P <0.001). Psoriasis progression with lesions (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 8.197, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 5.685–11.820, compared to no lesions), hypertension (adjusted OR = 1.582, 95% CI = 1.068–2.343), traditional systemic (adjusted OR = 1.887, 95% CI= 1.263–2.818), and nonsystemic treatment (adjusted OR= 1.602, 95% CI= 1.117–2.297) were found to be associated with exacerbation of psoriasis after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but not biologics (adjusted OR = 0.931, 95% CI = 0.680–1.274, compared to no treatment), according to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusions::A reduced risk of psoriasis exacerbation after SARS-CoV-2 infection was observed with biologics compared to traditional systemic and nonsystemic treatments. Significant risk factors for exacerbation after infection were identified as existing psoriatic lesions and hypertension.

The crosstalk between the nerve and stomatognathic systems plays a more important role in organismal health than previously appreciated with the presence of emerging concept of the "brain-oral axis". A deeper understanding of the intricate interaction between the nervous system and the stomatognathic system is warranted, considering their significant developmental homology and anatomical proximity, and the more complex innervation of the jawbone compared to other skeletons. In this review, we provide an in-depth look at studies concerning neurodevelopment, craniofacial development, and congenital anomalies that occur when the two systems develop abnormally. It summarizes the cross-regulation between nerves and jawbones and the effects of various states of the jawbone on intrabony nerve distribution. Diseases closely related to both the nervous system and the stomatognathic system are divided into craniofacial diseases caused by neurological illnesses, and neurological diseases caused by an aberrant stomatognathic system. The two-way relationships between common diseases, such as periodontitis and neurodegenerative disorders, and depression and oral diseases were also discussed. This review provides valuable insights into novel strategies for neuro-skeletal tissue engineering and early prevention and treatment of orofacial and neurological diseases.

Objective To study the pathogens and their drug susceptibility of septic arthritis of hip in children. Methods Prior to the antibiotic treatment, pus was extracted for bacterial culture under aseptic operation. The pathogenic bacterium was identified and drug susceptibility was analyzed using a fully automated bacterial identification/drug susceptibility system. Results A total of 68 pathogens were isolated, in which 42 were Gram-positive bacteria, 23 were Gram-negative bacteria and 3 were fungi. The results showed differences in the bacterial types of hip septic arthritis in children with different ages (5 days to 13 years). For newborns (less than 1 month), the most common pathogen was Klebsiella pneumoniae; for the ages of 1 month to 13 years old, the most common pathogen was Staphylococcus aureus. The results of drug susceptibility tests showed that Gram-positive bacteria were highly susceptible to vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid;the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to penicillin was up to 96％; and Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Enterobacter cloacae and Salmonella were highly sensitive to meropenem and imipenem. Conclusion In the antimicrobial drug treatment of children with hip septic arthritis, the etiology sample should be collected for drug susceptibility analysis. Empirical drug therapy strategy should be applied in the absence of the analysis results. Sensitive antibiotic drug therapy should be used after obtaining reliable etiological diagnosis and drug susceptibility results, and simultaneously taking the age into consideration.

Objective: Study the clinical significance of HBX gene detection, sequence analysis in peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) of chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients with serum HBV DNA negative conversion after treatment by nucleoside analogues(NAs). Methods: Detected and analyzed the HBX gene sequence by real time PCR in PBMC of 60 patients with CHB including some with cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), all the serum HBV DNA had turned negative after treatment by NAs, and explore the clinical significance of the HBX gene. Results: HBX genes were detected in 37 cases(61.67%, 37/60). HBX positive rates of PBMC in HCC and cirrhosis patients were higher than that of CHB patients(P=0.000, P=0.010). HBX △120, HBX△129, HBX△131 truncations were detected in two HCC and one CHB cases. Two hotspot mutation including A389T/G391A, T380C had been found, and A389T/G391A double mutation in HCC patients was significantly higher than that in CHB patients(P=0.021). In cirrhosis and HCC patients, T380C mutation rate in HBeAg(-) cases was higher than that in HBeAg(+ ) cases(P=0.035). Conclusions In patients with serum HBV DNA negative conversion after treatment by NAs, PBMC HBX gene positive rates in cirrhosis or HCC cases are higher than that in CHB cases. A389T/G391A double mutation rate in HCC cases is significantly higher than that in CHB cases. In cirrhosis and HCC patients, T380C mutation rate in HBeAg(-) cases is higher than that in HBeAg(+ ) cases.

Objective To investigate the value of prospectively electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered high-pitch coronary computed tomography angiography at 70 kV and 30 mL contrast medium with Stellar detector dual-source CT.Methods 60 patients with the BMI<24.9 kg/m2 were randomized into two groups:Group A (30 cases)with the tube voltage of 70 kV and 30 mL contrast medi-um.Group B (30 cases)with the tube voltage of 100 kV and 50 mL contrast medium.All the patients were performed with a Stellar detector dual-source CT using a prospectively ECG triggered high-pitch spiral technique.The images of Group A were reconstructed with SAFIRE technique,while Group B were with FBP technique.The objective image quality includes CT attenuation,SNR, CNR.And radiation dose was also calculated.The subjective was evaluated by 4-scale point.Independent sample t test was used.Re-sults There was no difference for subjective image quality between the groups,A:(3.38±0.942),B:(3.50±0.682),(t=-0.562, P >0.05).The CT attenuation of the 70 kV group were higher than that of the 100 kV group for all the segments(P <0.01).The SNR and the CNR have no statistically significant difference between the groups (P >0.05).Compared with the 100 kV group,the radiation dose of the 70 kV group was reduced by 76.5% (A:0.19±0.023 mSv,B:0.81±0.101 mSv,P <0.01).Conclusion Using 70 kV with 30 mL contrast medium in Stellar detector dual-source CT coronary angiography for the patients with a normal BMI could obtain qualified diagnostic image with low radiation dose and contrast medium.

Objective To explore the role of type Ⅶ collagen (COL7A1) gene in the pathogenesis of pretibial dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DDEB-Pt).Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from a sporadic Chinese patient of Han nationality with DDEB-Pt,his parents and 100 healthy human controls.A modified salting-out method was used to extract genomic DNA from the blood samples,and PCR was performed to amplify 118 exons of the COL7A1 gene followed by DNA sequencing.Results A G→A mutation was identified at position 6109 (G6109A) in exon 78 of the COL7A1 gene in this patient,which caused a change from GCT to ACT at codon 2037 in the triple helix region,and resulted in the substitution of glycine (Gly) by arginine (Arg) (p.Gly2037Arg).Conclusion A novel glycine substitution mutation was identified in the COL7A1 gene in the patient with DDEB-Pt,which may be a pathogenic mutation.

Objective To evaluate feasibility and time efficiency of dual-source flash post-processing software (Bone Reading)for reconstruction of bronchial artery.Methods The imaging data of 70 patients with suspected bronchial artery dilatation who underwent bronchial artery-CTA were evaluated by 2 independent radiologists.First,the related contents of bronchial artery such as origination,number, type,route and lumen diameter were evaluated by multiple planar reconstruction (MPR),maximum intensity projection (MIP)and volume rendering technique (VRT).The results and process time were recorded.After a month,the post-processing software(Bone Reading)was used to evaluate the same contents.Results There was very good correlation between both readers for both reading methods without significant differences.There was significant difference of process time between with regular method and with Bone Reading (P<0.05)for both readers.Process time could be decreased by approximately 35%.Conclusion The application of CT software (Bone Reading)is feasible in the CTA of bronchial artery.This method may gain a significant time saving in comparison to regular method.

Objective To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of a progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma (PSEK).Methods The clinical and genetic characteristics of a PSEK were compared and analyzed with clinical collection and review of 17 PSEK families reported in China since 1980.Results PSEK was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance.PSEK had the feature with incomplete penetrance and variable expression.The clinical features included hyperkeratotic plaques with distinct border and strikingly symmetric distribution pattern on the extremities.Part of patients was extended to other areas of the body.The onset of the disease commonly started in infancy or childhood.The general health condition was not affected.PSEK might be associated with other clinical symptoms.The diseased potential increased in the family of consanguineous marriage.Conclusions PSEK has genetic heterogeneity.Its causative genes have not been determined.Further studies are needed.
