OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of gene polymorphism on plasma minimum concentration （cmin） of voriconazole （VRZ） in patients with invasive fungal infection. METHODS The Cochrane Library， Embase， PubMed， Web of Science， China Biomedical Literature Database， CNKI， VIP and Wanfang Data were searched for literature on the correlation between gene polymorphisms and cmin of VRZ from inception to April 2024. After screening the literature， extracting data， and evaluating the quality of the literature， meta-analysis was performed using R 4.3.2 software. RESULTS A total of 21 studies with 2 454 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the VRZ cmin of CYP2C19 IM and PM types was significantly higher than EM type， and the VRZ cmin of IM type was significantly lower than PM type （P＜0.01）. The VRZ cmin of CYP2C9 rs1057910 AA type was significantly higher than AC/CC type， and that of CYP3A5 rs776746 CC type was significantly higher than TT type （P＜0.01）. The VRZ cmin of POR rs10954732 GG type was significantly higher than GA and AA types， and that of POR rs1057868 CT type was significantly lower than TT type （P＜0.01）. The VRZ cmin of ABCB1 rs1045642 CC type was significantly higher than TT type （P＜0.05）. The VRZ cmin of NR1I2 rs2472677 CT type was significantly higher than TT type， and rs7643645 AA type was significantly higher than AG type （P＜0.05）. The VRZ cmin of ABCC2 rs717620 CC type was significantly lower than CT type and TT type， and the CT type was significantly lower than TT type （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Mutant alleles in CYP2C19， CYP2C9 rs1057910， CYP3A5 rs776746， POR rs10954732， ABCB1 rs1045642 and NR1I2 rs7643645 can lead to a decrease in VRZ plasma concentration， and mutant allele in ABCC2 rs717620 can lead to an increase in VRZ plasma concentration.

Immunosuppressants （including cyclosporine， tacrolimus， mycophenolate esters， glucocorticoids， etc.） are the first choice of drugs to prevent organ rejection after liver transplantation， which can effectively reduce the host immune response to the graft， improve the success rate of transplantation， and prolong the survival of patients. Liver transplantation is associated with intestinal flora， while immunosuppressive agents interact with intestinal flora. Immunosuppressive agents change the abundance， composition and metabolites of intestinal flora， while a series of enzymes and metabolites produced by intestinal flora may chemically alter the absorption and metabolism of immunosuppressants. In addition， the incidence of postoperative infection in liver transplantion patients is relatively high， while gut flora affects inflammatory factors， and immunosuppressants interact with inflammatory factors. To some extent， immunosuppressants can be thought of as acting through intestinal flora in patients after liver transplantation.

CAPOS syndrome is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused by mutations in the ATP1A3 gene. Initial symptoms, often fever-induced, include recurrent acute ataxic encephalopathy in childhood, featuring cerebellar ataxia, optic atrophy, areflflexia, sensorineural hearing loss, and in some cases, pes cavus. This report details a case of CAPOS syndrome resulting from a maternal ATP1A3 gene mutation. Both the child and her mother exhibited symptoms post-febrile induction,including severe sensorineural hearing loss in both ears, ataxia, areflexia, and decreased vision. Additionally, the patient's mother presented with pes cavus. Genetic testing revealed a c. 2452G>A（Glu818Lys） heterozygous mutation in theATP1A3 gene in the patient . This article aims to enhance clinicians' understanding of CAPOS syndrome, emphasizing the case's clinical characteristics, diagnostic process, treatment, and its correlation with genotypeic findings.

Lenvatinib, a second-generation multi-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA for first-line treatment of advanced liver cancer, facing limitations due to drug resistance. Here, we applied a multidimensional, high-throughput screening platform comprising patient-derived resistant liver tumor cells (PDCs), organoids (PDOs), and xenografts (PDXs) to identify drug susceptibilities for conquering lenvatinib resistance in clinically relevant settings. Expansion and passaging of PDCs and PDOs from resistant patient liver tumors retained functional fidelity to lenvatinib treatment, expediting drug repurposing screens. Pharmacological screening identified romidepsin, YM155, apitolisib, NVP-TAE684 and dasatinib as potential antitumor agents in lenvatinib-resistant PDC and PDO models. Notably, romidepsin treatment enhanced antitumor response in syngeneic mouse models by triggering immunogenic tumor cell death and blocking the EGFR signaling pathway. A combination of romidepsin and immunotherapy achieved robust and synergistic antitumor effects against lenvatinib resistance in humanized immunocompetent PDX models. Collectively, our findings suggest that patient-derived liver cancer models effectively recapitulate lenvatinib resistance observed in clinical settings and expedite drug discovery for advanced liver cancer, providing a feasible multidimensional platform for personalized medicine.

Objective The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms and its relationship with the socio-economic position(SEP)among the elderly people in Dai rural areas of Jinggu County,Yunnan province.Methods A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 1409 people aged 60 and over in Dai rural areas of Jinggu County,Yunnan Province.The individual SEP index was constructed using the principal component analysis.Results The prevalence of anxiety symptoms,depression symptoms,and mixed anxiety-depressive disorder symptoms was 4.8%,52.0%,and 4.2% among them,2.6%,49.4%,and 2.3% among the males,and 6.8%,54.5%,and 6.0% among the females respectively.Females had the higher prevalence of anxiety symptoms and mixed anxiety-depressive disorder symptoms than males(P<0.05).Elderly people with the higher level of education,annual per capita household income and SEP had the lower prevalence of anxiety symptoms and mixed anxiety-depressive disorder symptoms than their counterparts(both P<0.05).The prevalence of depression symptoms increased with age(P<0.01).The difference in the prevelence of depression symptoms among the elderly people with the different numbers of chronic conditions was statistically significant(P<0.01).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the elderly people with lower SEP were more likely to suffer from the anxiety symptoms(OR=0.707,95% CI:0.566～0.883),depression symptoms(OR=0.492,95% CI:0.438～0.552),and mixed anxiety-depressive disorder symptoms(OR=0.602,95% CI:0.469～0.773).Conclusion There are significant socio-economic differences in the prevalence of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms among the elderly people in Dai rural areas of Jinggu County,Yunnan province.Future mental health interventions should more focus on females,elderly people with advanced age,multiple chronic diseases and low SEP,so as to reduce the occurrence of depression symptoms and anxiety symptoms.

BACKGROUND:Although traditional screw fixation has been successful in treating ankle fractures,rigid fixation solutions tend to restrict ankle movement and delay fracture healing,whereas elastic fixation is more compatible with human mechanics and has unique advantages in patients with ankle fractures. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effectiveness of elastic fixation and absolute fixation in repairing ankle fractures in the elderly with lower tibiofibular instability. METHODS:The clinical data of 108 elderly ankle fractures with lower tibiofibular instability in Hengshui People's Hospital from August 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively collected.They were divided into screw group and elastic fixation group(n=54 per group)according to the surgical protocol,and traditional screw internal fixation and elastic internal fixation were performed respectively.The perioperative indicators,surgical results,economic benefits,and American orthopedic foot and ankle society scores were collected and compared between the two groups.Serum tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-8 levels,ankle cavity width,depth,and lower tibiofibular space were compared before and after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The full weight-bearing time was shorter in the elastic fixation group than that in the screw group;the operating angle was greater in the elastic fixation group than that in the screw group,and the complication rate was lower in the elastic fixation group than that in the screw group(P<0.05).(2)Serum tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-8 levels in the elastic fixation group were lower than those in the screw group 3 days after surgery(P<0.05).(3)American orthopedic foot and ankle society scores in the two groups were higher than those before surgery at 6 and 12 months after surgery,and the depth and width of the inferior tibiofibular space and ankle cavity were lower than those before surgery(P<0.05);but no significant difference was detected between the two groups(P>0.05).(4)There was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate between the two groups at 12 months after surgery(P>0.05).(5)There was no significant difference in the comparison of direct non-medical costs,direct medical costs,and total costs between the two groups(P>0.05).(6)It is indicated that elastic fixation for the repair of ankle fractures with lower tibiofibular instability in the elderly can obtain effective outcomes,which can shorten the time of complete weight-bearing,diminish complications,and alleviate inflammatory stress.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of three individualized drug delivery tools， i.e. JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose， in predicting tacrolimus dose and blood concentration after kidney transplantation， and analyze the influential factors of prediction accuracy. METHODS The clinical data of adult hospitalized patients treated with tacrolimus after kidney transplantation from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. Three individualized dosing tools， i.e. JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose， were used to predict the dose and plasma concentration of tacrolimus. The absolute prediction error （APE） and prediction error （PE） between the measured value and the predicted value， and prediction success rate were calculated （APE＜30% indicating a good forecast）. Pearson assay or Spearman assay was used to analyze the correlation between the predicted dosage and actual dosage， as well as the predicted and measured blood concentration values using three software； univariate analysis was used to investigate the influential factors for prediction accuracy of JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose. RESULTS A total of 110 hospitalized patients were included in this study， and tacrolimus doses and plasma concentrations were monitored. The predicted doses of JPKD， SmartDose and NextDose were （2.0±0.7）， （2.7±1.9）， （1.8±0.8） mg， their measured value was （1.9±0.6） mg， and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.841， 0.450， 0.247 （P＜0.001）； the median APEs were 6.00%， 52.07% and 30.40%， and the median PEs were 5.00%， 18.50% and －3.50%； the prediction success rates were 98.45%， 30.05% and 49.22%. The predicted values of tacrolimus concentrations using JPKD， SmartDose， NextDose were （6.74±3.36）， （6.93±5.02）， 9.00（5.80±12.60） ng/mL， the measured value was 8.64（7.11，9.77） ng/mL， and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.997 （P＜0.001）， －0.066 （P＝0.360）， 0.920 （P＜0.001）. The median APEs were 5.54%， 45.91% and 35.56%， and PEs were －4.94% （median）， －17.050% （median） and 36.93% （average value）； the prediction success rates were 97.93%， 32.64% and 37.31%. Univariate analysis showed that the dosage， blood concentration， body weight， transplantation time and others were related to the prediction accuracy （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The good prediction rates of tacrolimus dose and blood concentration in kidney transplant patients using three personalized drug delivery tools， from high to low， are JPKD， NextDose， and SmartDose， suggesting that JPKD can be prioritized in clinical use.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting technique using spinal,pelvi-lower extremity line to treat patients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods 426 patients with KOA were all from the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.They were randomly divided into experimental group(384 cases,57 cases of elimination,shedding and termination)by computer generated sequence.Traditional Chinese bone setting techniques were applied with spinal-pelvic-lower limb force line(divided into three parts:lumbar fixed point reduction method,hip joint push-pull and extension method and knee peripheral tendon recovery method every 3 days.2 weeks)treatment;The control group was the waiting treatment group(48 cases,6 cases were eliminated,abscission,termination),which was only used for clinical observation for 2 weeks.The main outcome index was WOMAC pain score.Secondary outcome measures were WOMAC stiffness score,functional score,standardized score and quality of life score(SF-12).The test time points were baseline,2 weeks after enrollment,and follow-up(14 weeks after enrollment).The control group was at baseline and 2 weeks after enrollment.Results Compared with baseline,WOMAC pain score,stiffness score,functional score and standardized score were all decreased in 2 groups 2 weeks after enrollment(P<0.05),but the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with the control group(P<0.001).SF-12 quality of life scores were all higher than before(P<0.001),but the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.001).At follow-up,compared with 2 weeks after enrollment,WOMAC pain scores were increased(P<0.001),WOMAC stiffness,joint function and standardized scores were decreased(P<0.001),and SF-12 scores were increased(P<0.001).Conclusion The use of spinal-pelvi-lower extremity line of traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting technique in the treatment of KOA is effective in improving the knee joint function and improving the quality of life of patients,but the short-term effect of pain relief is good,and the long-term effect is not good.Its safety is good,and it can be considered in clinical application for KOA patients with joint dysfunction as the main manifestation.
