OBJECTIVE To explore the expressions of apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1(Apo B/A1)and procalci-tonin(PCT)in peripheral blood of the acute pancreatitis(AP)patients with infectious pancreatic necrosis(IPN)and analyze the predictive values.METHODS A total of 102 patients with AP who were treated in Lishui People's Hospital from Jan.2022 to Dec.2023 were recruited as the research subjects and were divided into the IPN group with 29 cases and the non-IPN group with 73 cases according to the status of IPN.The baseline data of the two groups of patients were analyzed,the expression levels of Apo B/A1,PCT and other serologic indexes were ob-served and compared between the two groups.The values of peripheral blood Apo B/A1 and PCT in prediction of IPN in the AP patients were analyzed by means of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.RESULTS There were no significant differences in the baseline data such as age and gender between the two groups of pa-tients.There were significant differences in the expression levels of peripheral blood Apo B/A1,PCT and RDW as well as blood calcium level between the IPN group and the non-IPN group(P＜0.05);the expression levels of pe-ripheral blood Apo B/A1 and PCT of the IPN group were respectively(2.54±0.75)and(11.77±3.21)ng/ml,higher than those of the non-IPN group(t=8.712,12.095,all P＜0.001);the blood calcium level of the IPN group was(2.22±0.22)mmol/L,lower than that of the non-IPN group(t=2.749,P=0.007).There were no sig-nificant differences in other serologic indexes.ROC curve analysis showed that both the single and joint detection of peripheral blood Apo B/A1 and PCT had the predictive efficiency for IPN in the AP patients(P＜0.05),the ar-eas under the curves(AUCs)were 0.886,0.874 and 0.922,respectively;the efficiency of the joint detection of the two indexes was the highest,with the sensitivity 82.72％,the specificity 86.30％.CONCLUSIONS The peripheral blood Apo B/A1,PCT,RDW and blood calcium are the influencing factors for the IPN in the AP patients.The joint detection of Apo B/A1 and PCT can predict the IPN for the AP patients in early stage.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of Tilianin on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced septice-mia-induced myocardial injury in rats and to explore the related mechanisms.Methods Animals were ran-domly grouped and a rat septicemia-induced myocardial injury model was constructed.Echocardiography was used to assess the cardiac function of rats,left ventricu-lar internal diameter at end-diastole(LVIDd)and left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole(LVIDs)were measured,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS)were calculated;the kits were used to detect the serum activity of the relevant cardiac enzymes and the level of inflammatory factors;HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of myocardium;immunofluorescence staining of cardiac tissues was used to detect the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65;Western blot was used to detect the expression of TLR4,MyD88,p-NF-κB p65,and NLRP3 proteins in cardiac tissues.Results Compared with the model group,each administration group differently upregulated LVEF,LVFS,and LVIDs,and improved the coordina-tion of LV wall fluctuations in the model group of rats;cardiac enzymes LDH and CK-MB levels increased,and levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1 β were reduced,exerting cardioprotective effects;HE staining showed that myocardial tissue cell gap was re-duced,myocardial fiber breakage was reduced,cardio-myocyte arrangement tended to be normal,and inflam-matory cell infiltration was reduced;NF-κB p65 entry into the nucleus was reduced,and phosphorylated NF-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65)expression was reduced;and Western blot results showed that the expression of TLR4,MyD88,and NLRP3 proteins was reduced.Conclusions Tilianin pretreatment reduces serum my-ocardial enzymes and inflammatory factors and im-proves myocardial injury in rats with septicemia-in-duced myocardial injury,which may be related to the Tilianin anti-TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signa-ling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy of surgical treatment for severe pulmonary stenosis(PS) in infants and young children, and to clarify the impact of different surgical timings on the efficacy of PS treatment.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 infants and young children who underwent surgical treatment for severe PS at the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, PLA, from January 1, 2020, to October 1, 2024. Among them, 13 were males and 11 were females. The average weight of the patients was(9.2±3.6) kg, the average gestational age was(39.3±1.7) weeks, and the average age was(15.0±13.5) months. Preoperative clinical symptoms and signs(e.g., cyanosis, shortness of breath), transpulmonary valve pressure gradient(TPVPG), right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP), and Em/Am were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups based on surgical timing: the infant group(under 1 year old, n=12) and the toddler group(1-3 years old, n=12).Results:There were no deaths among all patients. The postoperative ICU stay was significantly longer in the infant group compared to the toddler group( P<0.05). Compared to preoperative values, surgical treatment significantly improved TPVPG, reduced RVSP, and enhanced right ventricular diastolic function, which stabilized by 3 months postoperatively( P<0.05). Intergroup comparisons revealed that the infant group had significantly lower TPVPG at 6 months postoperatively compared to the toddler group. Additionally, right ventricular diastolic function improved significantly in the infant group postoperatively, while no significant improvement was observed in the toddler group. Younger age and reduced right ventricular diastolic function were identified as major risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation(>24 hours). Conclusion:Surgical treatment for PS during infancy and early childhood is safe and effective. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation is crucial, and early surgical intervention is recommended for patients with impaired right ventricular function to improve prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To establish a population pharmacokinetic(PopPK)model to predict the PK characteristics of GLS-010 in humans.METHODS Fifty-eight cynomolgus monkeys were used,18 of which were randomly divided into three groups and received a single intravenous infusion of GLS-010 at doses of 2,6,and 18 mg·kg-1,respectively.The rest were randomly assigned to four groups and received multiple intravenous infusions of GLS-010 at doses of 0,5,25,and 100 mg·kg-1,respectively,once a week(quaque week,qw)for five consecutive weeks.Blood samples were collected before and after administration.The concentrations of GLS-010 in the monkey serum were measured using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,while those of anti-drug antibodies(ADA)in the cynomolgus monkey serum were determined by ultra-sensitive electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.The PK data on GLS-010 in cynomolgus monkeys was obtained,and the drug-time curves were plotted.A PopPK model was constructed using non-compartmental analysis and evaluated by goodness-of-fit plots and visual predictive checks.The constructed PopPK model was used to predict the PK characteristics in humans,which were finally compared with actual Phase Ⅰ clinical study results for validation.RESULTS The predictive results of the PopPK model were highly consistent with the actual Phase Ⅰ clinical study results.The model was able to predict the human PK characteristics under various dosing regimens,including 1 mg·kg-1 quaque 2 weeks(q2w),4 mg·kg-1(q2w),240 mg(q2w),240 mg(q3w),and 10 mg·kg-1(q2w).The predicted maximum plasma concentrations(Cmax)were 24.8,99.1,85.0,85.0,and 247.8 mg·L-1,respectively,and the AUC0-336h was 4 902.0,20 060.0,17 147.7,22 145.7(AUC0-504h),and 50 817.6 mg·h·L-1,respectively.The safety risks for the corresponding dosing regimens were 47.3,11.6,13.5,10.5,and 4.6,respectively.The predicted receptor occupancy at steady state(ROss)at Cmax,average plasma concentration(Cavg),and minimum plasma concentration(Cmin)were 38.8％,72.7％,69.4％,64.1％and 87.2％,29.1％,63.8％,60.0％,49.8％and 82.1％,21.9％,55.5％,51.3％,36.3％and 76.7％,respectively.CONCLUSION The PopPK model can effectively predict the human PK characteristics under different dosing regimens with high consistency with actual Phase Ⅰ clinical study results,which can serve as an important reference for selection of safe and effective doses for first-in-human research.
