Rabbit syndrome (RS), characterized by fine, rapid, rhythmic movements along the mouth’s vertical axis, is typically linked to prolonged antipsychotic medication use. Emerging evidence suggests newer antipsychotics’ involvement in RS, prompting investigation into its association with long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) for schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. We report a case of RS observed in a patient diagnosed with bipolar I disorder and treated with Abilify Maintena, highlighting the importance of vigilance in monitoring adverse effects. The patient, a 53-year-old male, experienced persistent manic episodes despite prior treatments. Upon initiation of Abilify Maintena 400 mg, RS symptoms manifested seven months later, remaining resistant to medication adjustments. This case emphasizes the significance of RS in LAIs-treated patients and emphasizes the need for further research into its mechanisms and optimal management strategies. Additionally, an updated review of RS associated with newer generation antipsychotics is provided to enhance understanding and clinical management.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of platelet aggregation function for acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis patients based on decision curve.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to collect and analyze the clinical data of 120 sepsis patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from January 2021 to December 2023. According to the incidence of AKI during hospitalization, they were divided into AKI group (37 cases) and non-AKI group (83 cases). The general data, platelet aggregation function index (platelet aggregation rate) and other laboratory indexes of the two groups were collected and compared. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between AKI and main indexes of platelet aggregation function in patients with sepsis. The area under the curve (AUC) was obtained by drawing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the predictive value of platelet aggregation function on AKI in patients with sepsis was analyzed. R language software was used to construct a nomogram model of platelet aggregation function combined with other main indicators to predict AKI in patients with sepsis. Based on the decision curve, the predictive efficacy of the model on AKI in patients with sepsis was analyzed.Results:The platelet aggregation rate in the AKI group was lower than that in the non-AKI group: (56.23 ± 7.86)% vs. (68.79 ± 8.54)%, and the thrombin time was longer than that in the non-AKI group: 17.00 (16.50, 18.00) s vs. 16.00 (15.00, 17.00) s. The levels of D-dimer, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin were higher than those in the non-AKI group: (1.55 ± 0.45) mg/L vs. (1.32 ± 0.41) mg/L, (107.53 ± 18.41) mg/L vs. (99.86 ± 17.25) mg/L, (3.10 ± 0.46) μg/L vs. (2.88 ± 0.42) μg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of constructing a Logistic regression model showed that AKI in sepsis patients may be related to abnormal levels of platelet aggregation rate, thrombin time, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin ( P<0.05). The ROC curve was drawn to obtain the corresponding AUC: the AUC of platelet aggregation rate predicting sepsis complicated with AKI was 0.860 (95% CI 0.789 to 0.931), which had certain predictive value. When the platelet aggregation rate was set to 62.84%, the best predictive value can be obtained, with sensitivity, specificity, and Jorden index of 83.80%, 80.70%, and 0.645, respectively. The nomogram model of platelet aggregation function assisting other major indicators in predicting AKI in sepsis patients had a C-index of 0.904 (95% CI 0.851 to 0.957), indicating good discrimination of the model. Through decision curve analysis of the clinical net benefit of the model, the results showed that the clinical net benefit of the model was higher than that of platelet aggregation rate and other major indicators when applied alone. When the risk threshold was within the range of 0 to 0.81 and 0.97 to 1.00, the model could provide a significant increase in clinical net benefit rate. Conclusions:Platelet aggregation function (platelet aggregation rate) can serve as an early auxiliary predictive indicator for the risk of AKI in sepsis patients, and can assist other major indicators to improve the predictive value of AKI in sepsis patients.

Chronic kidney disease(CKD)is a chronic disease characterized by renal structural damage and dysfunction.At present,there is still a lack of effective therapeutic drugs and prevention and treatment methods for CKD in clinical practice.More and more studies have shown that necroptosis,as a new type of programmed cell death,plays a vital role in the onset and progression of CKD.Targeting key molecules in the necroptosis pathway,such as RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL,the development of small molecule inhibitors has become an emerging strategy for the treatment of CKD,and has shown significant potential to pro-tect the kidneys and alleviate renal fibrosis in a variety of in vitro and in vivo models.Therefore,this article summarizes the re-search progress of the mechanism of necroptosis in recent years,and focuses on the potential role of necroptosis in the pathogene-sis of CKD and the therapeutic potential of targeting this path-way,providing a new perspective and research direction for the prevention and treatment of CKD in the future.

Objective·To investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of phosphatidylethanolamine(PE)on macrophage senescence and its senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),as well as its pathophysiological role in liver injury.Methods·A macrophage senescence model was established using doxorubicin(DOX),followed by PE treatment.A mouse liver injury model was generated via intraperitoneal co-administration of PE and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)to investigate the effects of PE on liver injury.Senescence markers and SASP factors,including senescence-associated β-galactosidase(SA-β-gal),cell cycle inhibitor p21,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukin-6(IL-6),were evaluated using SA-β-gal staining,quantitative real-time PCR,and Western blotting.RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)was performed,followed by Gene Ontology(GO)cellular component enrichment analysis,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis,Gene Set Variation Analysis(GSVA),and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA),to explore the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways by which PE promotes macrophage senescence.The expression of endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress-related proteins,including inositol-requiring enzyme 1 α(IRE1α),spliced X-box binding protein 1(XBP1s),activating transcription factor 6(ATF6),ATF4,and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP),was analyzed through in vivo and in vitro experiments.Results·PE significantly promoted the expression of senescence markers SA-β-gal,p21,p16 and SASP factors.RNA-seq analysis revealed that ER stress was involved in PE-induced promotion of SASP.Further experiments demonstrated that PE activated the ER stress signaling pathway,promoting macrophage senescence and the expression of SASP factors.In vivo experiments further confirmed that PE exacerbated LPS-induced liver injury in mice through ER stress.Conclusion·PE promotes macrophage senescence and the expression of SASP factors by activating ER stress signaling pathway,thereby aggravating LPS-induced liver injury.

This study was aimed at understanding the resistance status of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus strains in China,and providing scientific guidance for the rational use of antimicrobials and the development of new antimicrobials.Meta-analysis was used to explore the resistance of Streptococcus strains to 20 antimicrobials between 2000 and 2023.A total of 67 articles de-scribing 3 154 strains were included after a literature search,and a meta-analysis was conducted on the overall collection area according to time subgroups for 20 antimicrobials.Streptococci of dairy origin in China showed varying resistance rates(≥30％),as follows:penicillin(60％,95％CI=0.48-0.72),streptomycin(57％,95％CI=0.46-0.68),cotrimoxazole(56％,95％CI=0.28-0.82),lincomycin(51％,95％CI=0.26-0.76),tetracycline(49％,95％CI=0.40-0.59),doxycyc-line(42％,95％CI=0.24-0.60),clindamycin(41％,95％CI=0.28-0.54),ampicillin(39％,95％CI=0.27-0.52),e-rythromycin(37％,95％CI=0.28-0.45),kanamycin(36％,95％CI=0.20-0.54),and amoxicillin(30％,95％CI=0.10-0.53).On the basis of findings in the collection area,the resistance rates of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus to antimicrobials in Northeast China and Southwest China was generally high.The resistance rates of Streptococcus from dairy cattle to antimi-crobial drugs such as tetracycline,doxycycline,and lincomycin increased significantly over time.However,the resistance rates to antimicrobial drugs such as streptomycin,gentamicin,and enrofloxacin showed a significant decreasing trend.Dairy cow-de-rived Streptococcus had high resistance to some antimicrobials,and the resistance varied by region,because of differences in breeding and management.Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance rates,enhancing research on resistance mechanisms,and reg-ulating the use of antimicrobials remain necessary.

Objective:To evaluate the safety, and feasibility of transoral robot-assisted retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) dissection.Methods:Clinical data of head and neck cancer patients who underwent transoral robot-assisted RPLN dissection at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, and Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Centre from December 2017 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 35 patients(22 males, 13 females, aged 47.4±13.4 years old) with RPLN metastases from head and neck cancer, including 20 cases of nasopharyngeal cancer, 9 cases of thyroid cancer, 2 cases of salivary adenocarcinoma, 2 cases of tonsil cancer, and 2 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer. Operation time, intraoperative bleeding and complications, postoperative nasogastric tube retention time, hospital stay and complications were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 software.Results:All patients successfully received transoral robot-assisted RPLN dissection without intermediate open surgery, with removals of 2 (1, 3) RPLNs. The total operation time was 130 (102, 210) minutes. The intraoperative bleeding was 50 (20, 100) ml, and there was no major bleeding or organ damage during the operation. Prophylactic tracheotomy was performed in 8 cases, and postoperatively nasogastric tubes were left in 22 patients, with retention time of 10.5 (7.5, 14.0) days. Postoperative hospital stay was 5 (4, 9) days. Postoperative complications included incision dehiscence in 4 cases and dysphagia in 4 cases. The median postoperative follow-up was 23.4 months, with progression or recurrence in 5 patients, including regional recurrence in 3 patients, lung metastasis in 1 patient, and bone metastasis in 1 patient. The 2-year regional failure-free survival and disease-free survival rates were 91.43% and 85.71%, respectively.Conclusion:Transoral robot-assisted RPLN dissection is a safe and feasible surgical method with less trauma, fewer complications, and higher safety. Patients need to be carefully selected at the initial stage of application.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the treatment of malignant tongue base tumors.Methods:A multicenter study was conducted to collect and analyze the clinical data of patients with malignant tongue base tumors who underwent TORS at five otolaryngology-head and neck surgery centers in China, including Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, and the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between January 2017 and January 2023. Among the patients, 38 were males and 11 were females, with a mean age of 59.0±8.8 years. Baseline characteristics, complications, and follow-up data were compared between groups. Independent sample t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests was used for comparisons of continuous variables; chi-square tests or Fisher′s exact tests was applied for categorical variables. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method to calculate overall survival and disease-free survival, and differences between groups were compared using the log-rank test. Results:Among the 49 patients, 41 (83.7%) were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with a p16 positive rate of 51.2% (21/41). There were no statistically significant differences between the p16-positive group ( n=21) and the p16-negative group ( n=20) in age, sex, or postoperative bleeding (all P>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in TNM stage between the two groups ( χ2=14.556, P=0.020), with the p16-positive group predominantly in stage I (66.7%) and the p16-negative group primarily in stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ (40.0% and 30.0%, respectively). The postoperative tracheotomy rate was 30.6% (15/49), and the incidence of postoperative bleeding was 6.1% (3/49). The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 98.0% and 92.5%, respectively, while, the 1-year and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 89.2% and 84.9%, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the p16-positive and p16-negative groups in 3-year overall survival (100% vs. 83.8%, χ2=1.093, P=0.518) or 3-year disease-free survival (68.2% vs. 88.9%, χ2=2.161, P=0.382). Conclusion:TORS for malignant tongue base tumors demonstrates high clinical safety and favorable oncological outcomes.
