ObjectiveTo meet the requirements of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Sichuan Institute for Drug Control (Sichuan Testing Center of Medical Devices, Sichuan Institute of Musk Deer Breeding) Safety Evaluation Center (hereinafter referred to as the center) conducts a targeted validation study to address the lack of supporting data for the specified validity periods of disinfectants, feed, and bedding during their use in laboratory animal facilities. The study summarizes practical experience in material management and provides a scientific basis for the standardized management of materials in the facility. MethodsUnder the routine operating conditions of the laboratory animal facility at the center, the disinfection efficacy of four commonly used disinfectants was confirmed using the quantitative suspension kill test, with the disinfectants tested on day 0, day 7, and at 1, 2, and 3 months after preparation and after opening; for laboratory animal feed, nutritional components, chemical contaminants, and microbial indicators were tested 7 days after opening; microbial indicators of laboratory animal corncob bedding were tested after storage for 7 days following opening and sterilization. ResultsUnder the GLP management system of our center, the disinfection efficacy log reduction values of prepared 0.04% sodium hypochlorite solution, 0.1% didecyldimethylammonium bromide solution, and 0.2% benzalkonium bromide solution were all ≥5 on days 0 and 7. The log reduction values of opened 75% ethanol were ≥5 on days 0 and 7 and at 1, 2, and 3 months after opening. All disinfectants were therefore qualified and effective. Compared with the factory inspection data, the nutritional components, chemical contaminants, and microbial indicators of SPF-grade rat and mouse maintenance feed, SPF-grade guinea pig growth and reproduction feed, conventional-grade guinea pig growth and reproduction feed, rabbit maintenance feed, and dog maintenance feed showed a slight overall downward trend but no significant differences 7 days after opening. The microbial indicators of specialized corncob bedding for SPF-grade laboratory animals stored for 7 days after opening and conventional-grade corncob bedding stored for 7 days after sterilization showed no significant fluctuations. All indicators still met the relevant requirements of GB/T 14924.2—2001 Laboratory Animals—Hygienic Standard for Formula Feeds and GB 14924.3—2010 Laboratory Animals—Nutrients for Formula Feeds. ConclusionBased on practical experience in managing the center's GLP laboratory animal facility and validation of core quality indicators, the specified validity periods of disinfectants, feed, and bedding meet the quality requirements, providing a practical reference for the standardized management of laboratory animal facilities.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment 2% versus pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged 2 years or older.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 120 pediatric patients aged 2 - 17 years with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were enrolled from departments of dermatology of 8 hospitals in China between March 2022 and February 2023. The participants were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to the crisaborole group and the pimecrolimus group, and received the treatment with crisaborole ointment 2% and pimecrolimus cream 1% respectively, twice a day for 4 weeks. Visits were scheduled at baseline/on day 1, as well as on days 8, 15, and 29. The primary efficacy outcome was the percentage of patients achieving the Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) success (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale, combined with ≥ 2‐grade improvement from baseline) on day 29. The secondary efficacy outcomes included changes in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) total scores from baseline to day 29, percentages of patients achieving ISGA improvement (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale), as well as changes in the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) /Infants' Dermatology Life Quality Index (IDLQI) /Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) scores, and in the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI) scores. Drug safety was evaluated according to the incidence of adverse events. Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test. Since measurement data did not follow a normal distribution, the rank sum test was used for comparisons of measurement data between groups.Results:A total of 106 children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were included in the per-protocol analysis set, with 52 in the crisaborole group (26 males and 26 females) and 54 in the pimecrolimus group (27 males and 27 females). There were no significant differences in age, disease duration, ISGA and EASI scores at baseline between the two groups (all P > 0.05). On day 29, 22 patients (42.31%) in the crisaborole group and 25 (46.30%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA success, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.17, P = 0.68) ; 35 patients (67.31%) in the crisaborole group and 45 (83.33%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA improvement, also with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 3.68, P = 0.06) ; additionally, there were no significant differences in the EASI, pruritus NRS, DLQI/IDLQI/CDLQI, or DFI scores between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Adverse reactions to the two topical agents were mainly local reactions such as mild to moderate pain, itching, or worsening of itching, and no obvious systemic adverse reactions occurred. The incidence of drug-related adverse reactions was 46.15% (24 cases) in the crisaborole group and 37.04% (20 cases) in the pimecrolimus group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.91, P = 0.34) . Conclusion:The efficacy of crisaborole ointment 2% was comparable to that of pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged ≥ 2 years, and it yielded early and rapid improvement in the quality of life of patients and their families, with good safety and tolerability profiles.

Objective:To analyze the echocardiographic and genetic characteristics of fetuses with common arterial trunk(CAT).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 77 480 fetal echocardiograms examined at the Maternal-Fetal Medicine center in Fetal Heart Disease of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from November 2010 to November 2024.Among them,106 fetuses were initially diagnosed with CAT,and 95 cases were ultimately confirmed(0.1%,95/77 480). The echocardiographic and genetic features of CAT fetuses were analyzed. According to the modified Van Praagh classification,CAT was divided into types A1-A4[with ventricular septal defect(VSD)]and B1-B4(without VSD)based on the origin of the pulmonary artery branches and the presence or absence of a VSD. Additionally,CAT was categorized into isolated and complex types based on the presence of associated intracardiac or extracardiac anomalies.Results:① Among the 95 confirmed CAT fetuses,type A accounted for 90.5%(86/95),and type B accounted for 9.5%(9/95). All 9 type B CAT fetuses exhibited no overriding of the arterial trunk , with 8 cases showing left ventricular hypoplasia accompanied by mitral atresia or absence.② Of the 95 CAT fetuses,14 were isolated(14.7%,14/95) , and 81 were complex(85.3%,81/95).The main associated intracardiac anomalies included:single ventricle(22 cases),complete atrioventricular septal defect(12 cases),anomalous pulmonary venous drainage(10 cases),right aortic arch with mirror-image branching(16 cases),and persistent left superior vena cava(14 cases). ③ Genetic testing was performed in 31 fetuses,with 18 showing positive results,primarily 22q11.21 deletion syndrome(29.0%,9/31). Conclusions:Apart from VSD,the most common intracardiac anomaly associated with CAT fetuses is single ventricle. Type B CAT without trunk overriding is often associated with left ventricular hypoplasia and mitral atresia or absence. The most frequent genetic abnormality in CAT fetuses is 22q11.21 deletion syndrome. Prenatal echocardiography should clarify the CAT subtype and associated anomalies,and genetic testing is strongly recommended for perinatal counseling and prognostic evaluation.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2025;37(4):280-285
Objective:To explore the clinical features and prognostic factors of lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (LAHS).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 44 LAHS patients who diagnosed at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from September 2016 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into B cell LAHS (B-LAHS) group (19 cases) and NK/T cell LAHS (NK/T-LAHS) group (19 cases) according to the lymphoma types, except for 4 cases of classic Hodgkin lymphomas and 2 cases of splenic lymphoma lymphomas. The clinical features and the factors influencing the prognosis of both groups were compared. According to whether lymphoma treatment were included in the initial treatment regimen, the patients were divided into the group with lymphoma treatment and the group without lymphoma treatment, and the objective response rate (ORR) of both groups was compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival (OS), the log-rank method was used for univariate analysis, and the Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate analysis.Results:Among 44 LAHS patients, 26 cases were male and 18 cases were female, with the age of (69±7) years. Most of them were secondary to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and 17 out of 44 patients were secondary to DLBCL. All patients had fever, lymphadenopathy, and ferritinemia. The differences in red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), peripheral blood Epstein-Barr virus DNA (EBV DNA) load, positive rate of Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER) in tissues, triglycerides (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and fibrinogen between NK/T-LAHS patients and B-LAHS patients were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The ORR of 44 patients with LAHS was 52.3% (23/44); the median OS time of LAHS patients was 157 d, and that of NK/T-LAHS patients was 110 d; the median OS time of B-LAHS was 135 d; and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 7.47, P = 0.024). The median OS was not reached in patients receiving initial treatment regimen containing lymphoma, while the median OS time was 65 d in patients receiving treatment without containing lymphoma, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 3.97, P = 0.046). The results of multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed that age ≥ 70 years ( HR = 2.502, 95% CI: 1.047-5.978, P = 0.039), serum ferritin (SF) ≥ 1 500 μg/L( HR=0.521,95% CI:0.282~0.960, P=0.037), soluble CD25 ≥ 7 800 U/ml ( HR = 0.536, 95% CI: 0.348-0.828, P = 0.005), interleukin (IL)-10≥100 ng/L ( HR = 0.532, 95% CI: 0.33-0.85, P = 0.009), interferon (IFN)-γ≥5.0 ng/ L ( HR = 0.554, 95% CI: 0.32-0.95, P = 0.033), Th (CD3 + CD4 + T cells)/ Ts (CD3 + CD8 + T cells) < 2 ( HR = 1.731, 95% CI: 1.005-2.982, P = 0.048), and hepatomegaly ( HR = 2.581, 95% CI: 1.059-6.289, P = 0.037) were independent factors influencing the poor outcome of LAHS patients. Conclusions:LAHS is mostly secondary to DLBCL. The early clinical manifestations lack specificity and the prognosis is generally poor, and the worst prognosis occurs in patient with NK/T-LAHS. The initial treatment with lymphoma can prolong OS time in patients with LAHS.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) combined with sodium hyaluronate solution for facial microdroplet injection in improving facial skin photoaging.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. From January to July 2024, patients with facial photoaging problems were recruited from the Plastic Surgery Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and randomly divided into a monotherapy group (sodium hyaluronate solution droplet injection) and a combination therapy group (BTX-A + sodium hyaluronate solution droplet injection) by hierarchical block randomization method. The treatment regimen was 3 months, with one treatment for each month, with a total of 3 treatment. The combination therapy group only used a combination therapy of two drugs (BTX-A 25 U+ 5 ml sodium hyaluronate solution) during the first injection. During the three treatments of the monotherapy group and the second and third treatments of the combination therapy group, 5 ml of sodium hyaluronate solution was injected as the solo ingredient. Follow up was conducted at 1, 2, and 4 months after the last treatment. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were detected by test kit. Five skin texture indicators (moisture content, transepidermal water loss rate, elasticity, glossiness, and pH) were evaluated using the German CK skin tester. VISIA skin detector was used for facial two-dimensional photography and skin condition analysis. Clinical efficacy (significant improvement, obvious improvement, improvement, no improvement) and global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) scores on a 5-point scale were recorded. Patient satisfaction levels (very satisfied, satisfied, and dissatisfied) were investigated. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 software. Count data was presented as examples and(or) percentages, and analyzed using a chi-square test. Normal distribution measurement data was represented by Mean±SD and analyzed using t-test. Results:A total of 100 patients were included, with 50 cases in each group. There were 17 males and 33 females in the monotherapy group, with an age of (31.3±7.1) years, and there were 5, 14, 29 and 2 patients in the Ⅰ to Ⅳ types of Glogau skin photoaging classification, respectively. There were 15 males and 35 females in the combination therapy group, with an age of (32.1±8.4) years old, and there were 4, 15, 27 and 4 patients in the Ⅰ to Ⅳ types of Glogau skin photoaging classification, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in gender composition, age, and Glogau skin photoaging classification between the two groups (all P>0.05). One month after the first treatment, both groups showed an increase in SOD activity and a decrease in MDA levels, with more significant changes observed in the combination therapy group ( P<0.01 for both). At the follow-up of 1, 2, and 4 months after the last treatment, the combination therapy group outperformed the monotherapy group in all 5 skin texture indicators (all P<0.05). One month after the last treatment, the total effective rate of the combination therapy group was 76.0% (38/50), which were significantly higher than that of the monotherapy group’s 50.0% (25/50) ( P<0.05); in addition, the combination therapy group showed significant advantages in facial aesthetic GAIS scores, as well as patient satisfaction, with a satisfaction rate of up to 98.0% (49/50), which was higher than the 88.0% (44/50) of the monotherapy group ( P<0.01). Throughout the entire treatment process, neither group experienced serious adverse reactions. Conclusion:Facial microdroplet injection of BTX-A combined with sodium hyaluronate solution effectively improves symptoms of facial skin photoaging, enhancing skin hydration and elasticity, reducing transepidermal water loss, improving skin gloss, regulating skin pH, and enhancing skin antioxidant capacity, ultimately achieving facial skin rejuvenation. This method is safe, effective and holds high clinical relevence and patient satisfaction.
