Objective To establish a stable and reliable sepsis model of rat after liver transplantation (LT) for clinical translational research and analyze its characteristics. Methods The "two-sleeve method" was used to establish the in situ LT model of SD rats, and the sepsis model was constructed through cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) at 3 d after the operation. SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group (Sham group), LT group, and LT + CLP group, with 6 rats in each group. The changes in body weight, rectal temperature and survival rate were compared, and the sepsis score was used for evaluation. The levels of blood biochemical indicators [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), urea (Urea), creatinine (Cr), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)] and inflammatory factors [interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α] in each group were detected, and the pathological changes and cell apoptosis in different organs were observed. Results Compared with the Sham group, the body weight of the LT group and LT + CLP group decreased (all P<0.05). The rectal temperature of the LT + CLP group showed a continuous downward trend after the operation, the sepsis score increased sharply after the operation, and the survival rate dropped to 16.7%, and the differences between the Sham group, LT group and LT + CLP group were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The levels of ALT, AST, Urea, Cr, CK, LDH, and serum IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in the LT + CLP group were higher than those in the Sham group and LT group rats within 72 hours after the operation(all P<0.05). The pathological examination of the LT + CLP group showed severe tissue structure destruction, necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells in multiple organs, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining showed an increased level of cell apoptosis in multiple organs. Conclusions Using liver transplantation combined with CLP, a stable animal model of liver transplantation infection is successfully established, which exhibits a high mortality rate, significant multi-organ damage and intense inflammatory response, providing an ideal animal model for transplantation infection research.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for revising the safety content of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) instructions. METHODS A systematic analysis was conducted on the relevant announcements on the revision of TCM instruction from 2013 to 2024, including the year of publication, drug name, drug formulation, announcement release time, and the average number of revisions made to three safety contents (contraindication, adverse drug reaction, and precaution). According to the report data of national adverse drug reaction monitoring from 2013 to 2024, analyze the proportion of TCM in all adverse drug reactions, the composition ratio of adverse drug reaction of different dosage forms of drugs [TCM injection, oral TCM, other (topical) TCM]. RESULTS From 2013 to 2024, the National Medical Products Administration issued a total of 101 notices on the revision of TCM instruction, involving 241 types of TCM. Among them, there were 163 types of oral TCM, 25 types of TCM injection, and 53 types of other (topical) TCM. There were 3, 10 and 0 types of TCM injection, oral TCM, and other (topical) TCM with missing safety content, respectively. The main source of adverse drug reaction data for TCM injections was post- marketing monitoring data (accounting for 48.00%); the main source of adverse drug reaction data for oral TCM was monitoring data (accounting for 71.17%); 73.58% of other (topical) TCM did not mention the source of adverse drug reaction data. The report on national adverse drug reaction monitoring showed that the proportion of all adverse drug reactions of TCM had decreased from 17.3% in 2013 to 12.1% in 2024. Among them, the proportion of adverse drug reaction of TCM injection in the three dosage forms of TCM had decreased from 61.3% in 2015 to 24.6% in 2024, while the proportion of adverse drug reaction of oral TCM in the three dosage forms of TCM had increased from 34.7% in 2015 to 64.0% in 2024. CONCLUSIONS The risk management of TCM safety content has achieved results in China, but still faces three major challenges: strongdependence on passive monitoring, insufficient data traceability, and missing key content. It is urgent to improve safety content by dosage form, optimize data sources, and fully utilize real-world evidence to supplement safety content.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical safety of Feilike Mixture (FLK) in the real world. MethodsThe safety of all children who received FLK from 29 institutions in 12 provinces between January 21,2021 and December 25,2021 was evaluated through prospective centralized surveillance and a nested case control study. ResultsA total of 3 035 juveniles were included. There were 29 research centers involved,which are distributed across 12 provinces,including one traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital and 28 general hospitals. The average age among the juveniles was (4.77±3.56) years old,and the average weight was (21.81±12.97) kg. Among them,119 cases (3.92%) of juveniles had a history of allergies. Acute bronchitis was the main diagnosis for juveniles,with 1 656 cases (54.46%). FLK was first used in 2 016 cases (66.43%),and 142 juvenile patients had special dosages,accounting for 4.68%. Among them,92 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred,including 73 cases of gastrointestinal system disorders,10 cases of metabolic and nutritional disorders,eight cases of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases,two cases of vascular and lymphatic disorders,and one case of systemic diseases and various reactions at the administration site. The manifestations of ADRs were mainly diarrhea,stool discoloration,and vomiting,and no serious ADRs occurred. The results of multi-factor analysis indicated that special dosages (the use of FLK)[odds ratio (OR) of 2.642, 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.105-6.323],combined administration: spleen aminopeptide (OR of 4.978, 95%CI of 1.200-20.655),and reason for combined administration: anti-infection (OR of 1.814, 95%CI of 1.071-3.075) were the risk factors for ADRs caused by FLK. Conclusion92 ADRs occurred among 3 035 juveniles using FLK. The incidence of ADRs caused by FLK was 3.03%,and the severity was mainly mild or moderate. Generally,the prognosis was favorable after symptomatic treatment such as drug withdrawal or dosage reduction,suggesting that FLK has good clinical safety.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and early-to-mid-term efficacy of Cheatham-Platinum (CP) covered stent in treating primary coarctation of the aorta (COA) in children.Methods:?A retrospective self-controlled study was conducted on 20 pediatric patients with primary COA who underwent CP covered stent implantation at the Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital, between January 2006 and December 2024. Clinical baseline characteristics, procedural details, and postoperative follow-up records were collected. Changes in aortic pressure gradients before and after the procedure, as well as the complication rates, were assessed. Comparisons between pre-and post-operative parameters were performed using paired Student′s t-tests and rank sum test. Results:Among the 20 patients, 14 were males and 6 were females, with the age of 12 (11, 13) years and the weight of 43 (36, 49) kg. All of the patients underwent successful implantation of CP-covered stents, with a technical success rate of 100%. The immediate peak gradient across the coarctation segment decreased significantly from 49 (33, 58) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) preoperatively to 3 (0, 5) mmHg postoperatively ( Z=3.92, P<0.001). The narrowest vessel diameter increased from (5.6±3.2) mm preoperatively to (16.9±5.4) mm postoperatively ( t=14.73, P<0.001). Following stent implantation, all patients exhibited a significant reduction in blood pressure, with left upper arm systolic blood pressure decreasing from(141±19) mmHg preoperatively to (122±11) mmHg postoperatively ( t=4.47, P<0.001). Immediate complications occurred in 3 cases: one pseudoaneurysm, one left subclavian artery occlusion, and one access site hematoma. During a follow-up period of 2 (1, 3) years, 16 patients maintained blood pressure within the normal range, while 4 had residual hypertension. Restenosis occurred in 3 patients: 1 patient underwent re-dilation at 24 months postoperatively; and the other 2 patients, who exhibited an upper-to-lower limb systolic blood pressure gradient <20 mmHg, did not require intervention at the time of reporting. All stents remained well-positioned. Follow-up CT angiography at 1 year in 8 patients demonstrated stent patency without evidence of fracture or aneurysm. Conclusion:CP-covered stent demonstrates high safety and favorable short-to-mid-term efficacy in treating primary COA in children.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of adult dental fluorosis in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Methods:A case-control study was conducted in January 2024 to select adult fluorosis patients (case group) and healthy individuals (control group) from the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Helinger County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the survey subjects. Urine samples were collected to determine urinary fluoride concentration. A questionnaire survey was conducted. SPSS 25.0 software was used for χ 2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to analyze the association between urinary fluoride concentration and the risk of dental fluorosis in adults. Results:A total of 161 individuals were included in the survey, including 100 in the case group and 61 in the control group. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of gender, smoking, and urinary fluoride concentration between the case group and the control group (χ 2 = 7.54, 5.02, 9.69, P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that gender ( OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.18 - 0.73, P = 0.005) and urinary fluoride concentration ( OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.46 - 6.67, P = 0.003) were the influencing factors of adult fluorosis. RCS analysis showed a significant linear dose-response relationship between the risk of dental fluorosis and urinary fluoride concentration ( Poverall trend = 0.001, Pnonlinear = 0.071). When the urinary fluoride concentration was greater than 1.57 mg/L, the risk of dental fluorosis increased with the increase of urinary fluoride concentration. Conclusion:Gender and urinary fluoride concentration are the risk factors of dental fluorosis in adults in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
