Antibiotic adjuvants offer a promising strategy for restoring antibiotic sensitivity, expanding antibacterial spectra, and reducing required dosages. Previously, compound 15 was identified as a potential adjuvant for Polymyxin B (PB) against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa DK2; however, its clinical utility was hindered by high cytotoxicity, uncertain in vivo efficacy, and an unclear synergetic mechanism. To address these challenges, we synthesized and evaluated a series of novel benzamide derivatives, with A22 emerging as a particularly promising candidate. A22 demonstrated potent synergistic activity to PB, minimal cytotoxicity, improved water solubility, and broad-spectrum synergism of polymyxins against various clinically isolated MDR Gram-negative strains. In vivo studies using Caenorhabditis elegans and mouse models further confirmed the efficacy of A22. Moreover, A22 effectively suppressed the development of PB resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa DK2. Mechanistic investigations revealed that A22 enhances polymyxins activity by inducing reactive oxygen species production, reducing ATP levels, increasing NOX activity, and inhibiting biofilm formation, leading to bacterial death. These findings position A22 as a highly promising candidate for the development of polymyxin adjuvants, offering a robust approach to combating MDR Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of postoperative complications in Chinese patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, and to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative complications.Methods:This was a national, multicenter, prospective, registry-based, cohort study of data obtained from the database of the Prevalence of Abdominal Complications After Gastro- enterological Surgery (PACAGE) study sponsored by the China Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgical Union. The PACAGE database prospectively collected general demographic characteristics, protocols for perioperative treatment, and variables associated with postoperative complications in patients treated for gastric or colorectal cancer in 20 medical centers from December 2018 to December 2020. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of postoperative complications. Postoperative complications were categorized and graded in accordance with the expert consensus on postoperative complications in gastrointestinal oncology surgery and Clavien-Dindo grading criteria. The incidence of postoperative complications of different grades are presented as bar charts. Independent risk factors for occurrence of postoperative complications were identified by multifactorial unconditional logistic regression.Results:The study cohort comprised 3926 patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, 657 (16.7%) of whom had a total of 876 postoperative complications. Serious complications (Grade III and above) occurred in 4.0% of patients (156/3926). The rate of Grade V complications was 0.2% (7/3926). The cohort included 2271 patients with gastric cancer with a postoperative complication rate of 18.1% (412/2271) and serious complication rate of 4.7% (106/2271); and 1655 with colorectal cancer, with a postoperative complication rate of 14.8% (245/1655) and serious complication rate of 3.0% (50/1655). The incidences of anastomotic leakage in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer were 3.3% (74/2271) and 3.4% (56/1655), respectively. Abdominal infection was the most frequently occurring complication, accounting for 28.7% (164/572) and 39.5% (120/304) of postoperative complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer, respectively. The most frequently occurring grade of postoperative complication was Grade II, accounting for 65.4% (374/572) and 56.6% (172/304) of complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancers, respectively. Multifactorial analysis identified (1) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the gastric cancer group: preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.54, 95%CI: 1.51-4.28, P<0.001), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.42, 95%CI:1.06-1.89, P=0.020), high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores (ASA score 2 points:OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.23-2.07, P<0.001, ASA score ≥3 points:OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.25-0.73, P=0.002), operative time >180 minutes (OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.42-2.31, P<0.001), intraoperative bleeding >50 mL (OR=1.29,95%CI: 1.01-1.63, P=0.038), and distal gastrectomy compared with total gastrectomy (OR=0.65,95%CI: 0.51-0.83, P<0.001); and (2) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the colorectal cancer group: female (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.44-0.80, P<0.001), preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.73, 95%CI: 1.25-5.99, P=0.030), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.23-2.72, P=0.008), laparoscopic surgery (OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.30-0.72, P=0.022), and abdominoperineal resection compared with low anterior resection (OR=2.74, 95%CI: 1.71-4.41, P<0.001). Conclusion:Postoperative complications associated with various types of infection were the most frequent complications in patients with gastric or colorectal cancer. Although the risk factors for postoperative complications differed between patients with gastric cancer and those with colorectal cancer, the presence of preoperative comorbidities, administration of neoadjuvant therapy, and extent of surgical resection, were the commonest factors associated with postoperative complications in patients of both categories.

Objective:To compare and evaluate recurrence patterns after robotic-assisted gastrectomy (RAG) versus laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy (LAG).Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study of 2915 consecutive patients with gastric adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative histology as T1-4aN0-3M0, who had undergone minimally invasive radical gastrectomy at four large gastric cancer treatment centers (Fujian Medical University Union Hospital: 1426 patients; the First Affiliated Hospital, Nanchang University: 1108; Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital: 196; and First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University: 185 cases) between 1 January 2015 and 30 June 2019. 930 patients had undergone RAG (RAG group) and 1985 had undergone LAG (LAG group). We assessed the following characteristics: age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, comorbidities, tumor size, extent of surgery, extent of lymph node dissection, pT, pN, year of surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy, after propensity score matching (1:1). There were no significant differences in baseline clinical characteristics between the two groups formed by propensity score matching (837 in each group) (all P>0.05). The 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS), recurrence pattern, and conditional RFS were compared. Results:We detected no significant differences in the overall recurrence rate at 3 years (128/837 [15.3%] vs. 141/837 [16.8%], P=0.387) or time to recurrence (15.7±8.1 months vs. 16.4±8.4 months, P=0.449) between the RAG and LAG groups. Peritoneal recurrence was the most common type of recurrence in both groups (55 [6.6%] vs. 69 [8.2%], P=0.524). The difference in 3-year RFS between the RAG and LAG groups was not statistically significant (83.2% vs. 82.5%, P=0.781). We found that age > 60 years, total gastrectomy, and worse pT stage and pN stage were independent risk factors for recurrence in the study patients (all P<0.05), whereas the surgical procedure (RAG or LAG) was not an independent risk factor for RFS ( P=0.242). The 3-year conditional RFS at various time points was comparable between the two groups (1 year postoperatively: 84.6% vs. 84.7%, P=0.793; 3 years postoperatively: 91.5% vs. 94.9%, P=0.647). Conclusions:In this multicenter study of patients with locally resectable gastric cancer, we demonstrated that RAG performed by surgeons at large gastric cancer centers is not inferior to LAG in 3-year recurrence rate or recurrence patterns.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognostic value of the textbook outcome (TO) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 253 patients with AGC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy in the Department of Gastric Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively included. There were 195 males and 58 females, aged (60.3±10.0) years (range: 27 to 75 years). The patients were then divided into the TO group ( n=168) and the non-TO group ( n=85). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent predictors of TO. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to analyze independent prognosis factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Propensity score matching was performed to balance the TO and non-TO groups, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. Results:Among the 253 patients, 168 patients (66.4%) achieved TO. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ( OR=0.488, 95% CI: 0.278 to 0.856, P=0.012) and ypN stage ( OR=0.626, 95% CI:0.488 to 0.805, P<0.01) were independently predictive of TO. Multivariate analysis revealed that TO was an independent risk factor for both OS ( HR=0.662, 95% CI: 0.457 to 0.959, P=0.029) and DFS ( HR=0.687, 95% CI: 0.483 to 0.976, P=0.036). After matching, the 5-year OS rate (42.2% vs. 27.8%) and the 5-year DFS rate (37.5% vs. 27.8%) were significantly higher in the TO group than in the non-TO group (both P<0.05). Furthermore, patients in the non-TO group benefited significantly from postoperative chemotherapy (both P<0.05), but those in the TO group did not (both P>0.05). Conclusion:TO is an independent prognosis factor in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery for AGC and is associated with postoperative chemotherapy benefits.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of changing lifestyle diet in the treatment of laryngeal reflux disease(LRPD).METHODS A total of 92 patients with LRPD who received outpatient treatment in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the study control,divided into control group(46 cases)and treatment group(46 cases).The control group was treated with conventional acid suppression and gastric motogenic therapy.The treatment group was treated on the basis of the control group with giving guidance on lifestyle and diet.The changes of reflux symptom index scale(RSI)and reflux sign score scale(RFS)and the clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment.RESULTS RSI total score was improved 8 weeks after treatment compared with before treatment in both RSI control group and treatment group(P＜0.05).The total RSI score of 12 weeks after treatment was improved compared with that of 8 weeks after treatment in both control and treatment groups(P＜0.05).The total RFS score at 8 weeks after treatment was improved in both control group and treatment group compared with before treatment(P＜0.05).Compared with 8 weeks after treatment,the total RFS score in both control group and treatment group was improved(P＜0.05).After 8 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the control group(60.9%)was compared with that of the treatment group(71.7%),and there was no significant difference between the two groups(χ2=1.335,P=0.513).After 12 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the control group(73.9%)was compared with the total effective rate of the treatment group(91.3%),and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2=6.226,P=0.044).CONCLUSION The change of lifestyle and diet should become an important part of the treatment of LRPD.By adjusting the unhealthy lifestyle and diet,the symptoms of patients can be significantly reduced and better clinical efficacy can be obtained.

OBJECTIVE To interpret Teacher Training Syllabus for Clinical Pharmacist Training Program （2023 edition） （hereinafter referred as to the “new syllabus”）， and to provide reference and guidance for promoting the implementation of the new syllabus and realizing the quality-improving goal of the reform of the clinical pharmacist teacher training program initiated by China Hospital Association. METHODS From the perspective of the management and based on the position of the designer， the new syllabus was interpreted from four aspects： the background of its compilation and release， the process of its compilation and its characteristics， the key improvements of the program and the points for attention about its subsequent implementation. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The development and release of the new syllabus provide a “construction blueprint” for the reform of the clinical pharmacist teacher training program of the China Hospital Association. The whole process of compiling the new syllabus is characterized by four basic features： theory-led， goal-oriented， research-based， and synergistic. Compared with the previous syllabus， in addition to the adjustment of the text structure，the new syllabus presents more complete and clearer competence requirements for clinical teaching competence in terms of training objectives； in terms of training content， it further structures the group of task items， pays attention to the 育。E-mail：zhenjiancun@163.com sequential planning and time arrangement of items， and puts forward both quantitative and qualitative refinement requirements for each specific training task；in terms of training methods， it emphasizes the interaction of lecturing， demonstrating and guiding， and the progression of observation， operation and reflection， with the intention of guiding teacher trainees to “learn how to teach by teaching”. In the subsequent implementation of the new syllabus， it is necessary for the teacher training bases to attach great importance to the guarantee of training conditions and process quality management， and to organize the teacher training team to do a good job in the two training programs of “clinical pharmacist training” and “clinical pharmacist teacher training”. Based on further improving the connection between the two training programs， the teacher training team should continue to explore the scientific model of clinical pharmacist teacher training oriented by clinical teaching competence.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of operation time for laparos-copic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and analyze the learning curve of LSG in sarcopenic obesity (SO) and non-sarcopenic obesity (NSO).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 240 obesity patients who underwent LSG in the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 were collected. There were 52 males and 188 females, aged (30±8)years. Patients underwent L3 vertebral body horizontal axial computer tomography (CT) scanning before and after receiving LSG to accurately segment muscles and fats. Observation indicators: (1) treatment and follow-up; (2) influencing factors of operation time for LSG; (3) cumulative sum (CUSUM) of learning curve; (4) comparison of clinical data between patients in the initial and profi-cient stages. Measurement data with normal distribution were represent as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR), and comparison between groups was conducted using the non-parameter test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the Logistic regression model. The CUSUM of learning curve was calculated and the fitting process was conducted on scatter plot of learning curves. Results:(1) Treatment and follow-up. Of the 240 patients, there were 97 cases of SO and 143 cases of NSO. All 240 patients underwent LSG successfully, without conversion to open surgery. The operation time of 240 patients was (108±23)minutes. None of patient died during the perioperative period and all patients underwent follow-up during the postoperative 6 months. (2) Influencing factors of operation time for LSG. Results of multivariate analysis showed that SO was an independent factor influencing operation time for LSG ( odds ratio=2.207, 95% confidence interval as 1.207-4.038, P<0.05). (3) CUSUM of learning curve. Results of CUSUM of operation time in patients of SO and NSO showed that the best fit equation of patients of SO was y=-4E-08x 6+1E-05x 5-0.001 1x 4+0.063 1x 3-1.89x 2+28.126x-48.671 (x means the number of surgical cases), with goodness-of-fit R 2 as 0.833, and the best fit equation of patients of NSO was y=3E-09x 6-1E-06x 5+0.000 2x 4-0.010 9x 3+0.063 8x 2+12.053x-65.025 (x means the number of surgical cases), with goodness-of-fit R 2 as 0.716. Based on the trend of CUSUM of learning curve of operation time, the peak value of number of surgical cases in patients of SO and NSO was 81 and 36, respec-tively, which was used to divide the learning curve as two stages of the initial stage and the proficient stage. (4) Comparison of clinical data between patients in the initial and proficient stages. ① Of the 97 patients of SO, there were 81 cases and 16 cases in the initial stage and the proficient stage of LSG, with the operation time, postoperative duration of hospital stay as (119±23)minutes, (5.9±2.3)days and (106±21)minutes, (4.7±0.5)days, showing significant differences between them ( t=2.074, 2.147, P<0.05). ②Of the 143 patients of NSO, there were 36 cases and 107 cases in the initial stage and the proficient stage of LSG, with gender (female), height, preoperative body mass, defatted body mass, operation time, postoperative duration of hospital stay, body mass at postoperative 6 month, body mass index (BMI) at postoperative 6 month, percentage of excess weight loss (EWL%) at postoperative 6 month, cases with EWL% >100% at postoperative 6 month, excess BMI at post-operative 6 month as 20, (170±10)cm, (110±25)kg, (57±12)kg, (108±22)minutes, (6.1±1.6)days, (80±16)kg, (27.63±4.22)kg/m2, 83%±35%, 9, 1.99(6.03)kg/m2 and 87, (164±8)cm, (99±20)kg, (52±12)kg, (100±19)minutes, (4.7±1.1)days, (71±16)kg, (25.89±4.48)kg/m2, 103%±42%, 48, 0.31(5.82)kg/m2, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=9.484, t=3.266, 2.424, 2.141, 2.137, 5.821, 2.740, 1.993, -2.524, χ2=4.432, Z=-2.300, P<0.05). Conclusions:SO is an independent factor influencing operation time for LSG. It is suggested that the surgeons need to finish 81 cases and 36 cases master LSG in patients of SO and NSO.
