OBJECTIVE To establish refined medication rules for parenteral nutrition （PN） and evaluate its effectiveness. METHODS Refined medication rules for PN were constructed based on drug instructions， relevant guidelines， and expert consensus. Through the pre-approval review system of prescription automatic screening system （PASS）， PN prescription information for inpatients from January to December 2024 （referred to as “post-intervention”） was collected to analyze the post- intervention prescription review status. PN prescription information for inpatients at our hospital from January to December 2023 and January to December 2024 was collected through the medical order review system to evaluate the rationality rates of PN prescriptions. RESULTS The established refined medication rules for PN included system module rules （including nutrients， drug compatibility， PN concentration and osmotic pressure） and custom review rules （covering off-label drug use， drug compatibility， and other drug use conditions）. As of December 2024， the PASS pre-approval review system had established a total of 102 rules， comprising 55 system module rules and 47 custom review rules for PN. After intervention， when comparing with the first quarter of 2024， the number of PN reviewed and intervened by pharmacists decreased， the pharmacist intervention rate dropped， while the rate of physician modifications following pharmacist intervention increased in the fourth quarter. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the system module rules were irrational PN concentration and osmotic pressure. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the custom review rules were off-label drug use （specifically indications for amino acids） and irrational drug incompatibility. In 2024， the number of false-positive tasks and the false-positive rate initially increased and then decreased， while both the number of irrational prescriptions identified through manual review and the false-negative rate showed a declining trend. In 2024， the overall rationality rate after manual review PN refined medication rules for PN medical order review system significantly increased compared to that in 2023 （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The refined medication rules for PN in our hospital were established successfully， which can reduce the PN-induced risks and significantly improve the rationality of PN prescriptions.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of matched sibling donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF).Methods:In this case series, the clinical data of 18 patients with MF who received allo-HSCT in the Department of Hematology, Peking University People′s Hospital from December 2008 to December 2023 were retrospectively studied. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and competitive risk model were used to evaluate the probabilities of 3-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), and transplant related mortality (TRM). The transplant related complications were also analyzed.Results:Among the 18 patients included, there were 12 males and 6 females, with a median age of 50 (range: 28-64) years. All 18 patients achieved neutrophil engraftment, and the time of neutrophil engraftment [ M ( Q1, Q3)] was 16.0 (11.8, 18.0) days. Twelve patients achieved platelet engraftment, and the platelet engraftment time was 21.0 (16.2, 43.2) days. Six patients had grade Ⅱ to Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and six patients had chronic GVHD. The 3-year OS rate and DFS rate after transplantation were 62.2% and 52.2%, respectively. The 3-year CIR and TRM were 29.7% and 24.6%, respectively. Four patients died during follow-up, with the main cause of death being infections. Conclusion:Matched sibling allo-HSCT is a feasible option for the treatment of MF.

Human parvovirus B19 (HPVB19) belongs to Parvoviridae, a genus of erythrovirus, and has been associated with various human diseases, and HPVB19 infection is one of the most important causes of refractory anemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This study retrospectively analyzed 24 patients with HSCT combined with HPVB19 infection to collate and summarize the clinical presentation, treatment, and regression of patients with combined HPVB19 infection after allo-HSCT and provide experience in the management of HPVB19 infection after allo-HSCT. The median age of the patients with HPVB19 infection was 25 years, and the median time of infection occurrence was +107 days after transplantation, and 22 (91.7% ) had anemia with a median hemoglobin (HGB) level of 77.5 (46-149) g/L, and 13 (54.2% ) had new-onset anemia or persistent decline in HGB. The median length of hospital stay was 19 days. Among patients with new-onset anemia or persistent decline in HGB, the mean increase in HGB after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and/or antiviral therapy was 15.69 g/L, and treatment was effective in 10 (76.92% ) patients. HPVB19 infection should be alerted to the development of refractory anemia after HSCT; despite the lack of specific treatment, the overall prognosis of HPVB19-infected patients is good.

Objective:To evaluate the safety of patients with hepatic adenoma undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and prognosis of eight patients with hepatic adenoma who underwent allo-HSCT in the Hematology Department of Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2010 to March 2024 was conducted.Results:Of the eight patients who underwent allo-HSCT with hepatic adenoma, one patient was considered MDS-h transfusion-dependent and seven had aplastic anemia. The median age of the patients was 23 years (13-48 years). The median time from the diagnosis of AA or MDS to transplantation was 14 years (6-24 years), whereas the median time from taking androgens to diagnosing hepatic adenoma was 9 years (5-13 years). Six cases underwent haplo-HSCT, one case underwent matched unrelated donor HSCT, and one case underwent matched related donor HSCT. All patients achieved neutrophil engraftment at a median time of 11.5 days (11-20 days) and PLT engraftment within 60 days at a median of 19 days (10-37 days) after haplo-HSCT. Moreover, seven patients developed CMV anemia after transplantation, three patients had hemorrhagic cystitis, and two patients developed acute GVHD. During and after transplantation, eight patients did not show severe liver function damage or rupture of hepatic adenoma. In relation to imaging size, four patients showed varying degrees of reduction in hepatic adenoma size after transplantation, whereas four patients did not show significant changes in hepatic adenoma size after transplantation. The median follow-up time was 540.5 (30-2 989) days. Of the eight patients, six survived and two died. Furthermore, no direct correlation was observed between death and hepatic adenoma.Conclusion:Patients with hepatic adenomas undergoing allo-HSCT are not contraindications for transplantation, which will not increase transplant-related mortality.

This study included 20 patients with hematological diseases who developed Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) after receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from April 2014 to October 2022 at Peking University People’s Hospital. The 20 patients comprised 13 males (65.0% ) and seven females (35.0% ), with a median age of 34 (19-60) years. Eleven cases (55.0% ) of acute myeloid leukemia, four cases (20.0% ) of acute lymphocytic leukemia, two cases (10.0% ) of myelodysplastic syndrome, one case (5.0% ) of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, one case (5.0% ) of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and one case (5.0% ) of aplastic anemia were analyzed. Three cases (15.0% ) of HLA-identical sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, three cases (15.0% ) of matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and 14 cases (70.0% ) of haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were identified. The median onset time of PJP was 353 (74-1121) days after transplantation. The clinical symptoms mainly included fever, cough, expectoration, and dyspnea. All patients presented signs of infection based on the CT scan, including bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities, patchy shadows, and solid nodules. Nine patients (45.0% ) required respiratory support via nasal catheter oxygen inhalation, while seven patients (35.0% ) required ventilator-assisted breathing. Seven (35.0% ) severe infections and 13 (65.0% ) mild to moderate infections were recorded. Moreover, eight patients (40.0% ) were complicated with human cytomegalovirus infection, whereas two patients were complicated with EB virus infection. Furthermore, all 20 patients received treatment with compound sulfamethoxazole (standard dose, 11 cases; low dose, 9 cases). Furthermore, 19 patients survived and one patient died.

Steatotic liver diseases (SLD) are the principal worldwide cause of cirrhosis and end-stage liver cancer, affecting nearly a quarter of the global population. SLD includes metabolic dysfunction-associated alcoholic liver disease (MetALD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), resulting in asymptomatic liver steatosis, fibrosis, cirrhosis and associated complications. The immune processes include gut dysbiosis, adiposeliver organ crosstalk, hepatocyte death and immune cell-mediated inflammatory processes. Notably, various immune cells such as B cells, plasma cells, dendritic cells, conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, innate-like T cells, platelets, neutrophils and macrophages play vital roles in the development of MetALD and MASLD. Immunological modulations targeting hepatocyte death, inflammatory reactions and gut microbiome include N-acetylcysteine, selonsertib, F-652, prednisone, pentoxifylline, anakinra, JKB-121, HA35, obeticholic acid, probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation. Understanding the immunological mechanisms underlying SLD is crucial for advancing clinical therapeutic strategies.

Objective:To evaluate and compare the efficacies of ganciclovir plus foscarnet and a single agent for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Methods:This study was a non-randomized clinical controlled trial. The data of patients who underwent haploidentical transplantation and developed CMV infection between January 1, 2021, and June 30, 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through telephone, inpatient consultations, and the review of outpatient medical records. The observed indicators included the incidence of CMV infection (including CMV disease), rate of recurrence of CMV infection, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS).Results:A total of 242 patients were diagnosed with post-transplantation CMV infection; 116 patients tested positive for CMV DNA for more than 14 days ( P=0.011). Of the 242 patients with CMV infection, 65 were treated with ganciclovir plus foscarnet, and 156 patients were treated with a single antiviral drug; the median durations of CMV seroconversion were 21 (3-60) and 14 (3-32) days for the combination and single-drug groups, respectively. There were no significant differences between their incidence of CMV infections and 1-year OS and DFS. Of the patients with refractory CMV infections, 53 (45.7%) were treated with ganciclovir plus foscarnet, and 63 (54.3%) were treated with a single antiviral agent. The median durations of CMV seroconversion for the combination and single-drug groups were 21 (15-60) days and 20 (15-45) days, respectively ( P=0.472). Two patients in each group progressed to CMV disease ( P=0.860). During follow-up, 12 patients (22.6%) in the combination group and 8 patients (12.7%) in the single-drug group experienced recurrent episode(s) of CMV infection ( P=0.158). The 1-year OS of the combination and single-drug groups were 92.0% and 87.1%, respectively ( P=0.543); the 1-year DFS were 90.3% and 85.7%, respectively ( P=0.665). Univariate analysis revealed no associations between the antiviral agents used and OS and DFS (OS: HR=0.644, P=0.547; DFS: HR=0.757, P=0.666). Conclusions:There were no significant differences in the duration of CMV infection, incidence of CMV disease, rate of recurrence of CMV infection, and survival of the patients treated with the combination of antiviral drugs and a single antiviral drug.

Objective:To investigate the potential of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in mitigating the adverse prognosis associated with central nervous system leukemia (CNSL) and to assess the significance of prophylactic intrathecal injection.Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted involving 30 patients with acute leukemia who had a history of CNSL who underwent allo-HSCT at Peking University People′s Hospital between September 2012 and March 2018 (referred to as the CNSL-positive group). In addition, 90 patients with acute leukemia were selected from the same period who underwent allo-HSCT without a history of CNSL (referred to as the CNSL-negative group) and a rigorous 1∶3 matching was performed based on disease type, disease status, and transplantation type to form the control group. The prognosis between the two groups was compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis and the high-risk factors for CNSL relapse post-transplant were identified through Cox proportional-hazards model.Results:The median age of patients in the CNSL-negative group was significantly higher than that of patients in the CNSL-positive group (32 years vs. 24 years, P=0.014). No significant differences were observed in baseline data, including sex, disease type, disease status at transplantation, donor-recipient relationship, and human leukocyte antigen consistency between the two groups. The median follow-up time was 568 days (range: 21-1 852 days). The 4-year cumulative incidence of relapse (71.4%±20.9% vs. 29.3%±11.5%, P=0.005) and the cumulative incidence of CNSL post-transplant (33.6%±9.2% vs. 1.2%±1.2%, P<0.001) were significantly higher in the CNSL-positive group than in the CNSL-negative group. Furthermore, the 4-year leukemia-free survival rate in the CNSL-positive group was significantly lower than that in the CNSL-negative group (23.1%±17.0% vs. 71.5%±11.6%, P<0.001). However, no significant differences were observed in the 4-year cumulative transplant-related mortality and overall survival rates between the two groups (both P>0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that a history of CNSL before transplantation ( HR=25.050, 95% CI 3.072-204.300, P=0.003) was identified as high-risk factors for CNSL relapse post-transplant. Conversely, haploidentical transplantation was associated with a reduced risk of CNSL relapse post-transplant ( HR=0.260, 95% CI 0.073-0.900, P=0.034). Within the CNSL-positive group, seven patients received prophylactic intrathecal therapy after transplantation, and their CNSL relapse rate was significantly lower than that of the 23 patients who did not receive intrathecal therapy after transplantation (0/7 vs. 9/23, P=0.048). Conclusions:Patients with a history of CNSL have a higher risk of relapse and experience poorer leukemia-free survival following transplantation. The use of prophylactic intrathecal injection shows promise in mitigating CNSL relapse rates, although further validation through prospective studies is necessary to substantiate these observations.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of sirolimus as an alternative graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in patients with kidney injury after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:Retrospective case series study. Medical records of 11 patients in Peking University People′s Hospital from 1 August 2008 to 31 October 2022, who received sirolimus instead of cyclosporine to prevent GVHD, due to renal insufficiency after allo-HSCT, were analyzed retrospectively. Incidence of GVHD, infection, and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), as well as renal function, were evaluated.Results:Among the 11 patients who received sirolimus, 6 were treated with haploidentical donor HSCT, and 5 were treated using matched sibling donor HSCT. The median (range) time of sirolimus administration was 30 (7-167) days after allo-HSCT, and the median (range) sirolimus course duration was 52 (9-120) days. During sirolimus treatment, 1 case did not undergo combined treatment with other prophylactic drugs, 3 cases received combined mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and 1 case underwent combined CD25 monoclonal antibody treatment, while 6 cases had combined therapy with both MMF and CD25 monoclonal antibody. Of the 11 patients, 2 developed Grade Ⅲ acute GVHD, 1 developed severe pneumonia and died, and 1 developed TA-TMA, while nine patients had normal or improved renal function. Median (range) follow-up time was 130 (54-819) days. Non-relapse mortality was observed in 1 patient. Relapse mortality was also observed in 1 patient.Conclusion:Sirolimus-based alternative GVHD prophylaxis is a potentially viable option for patients undergoing allo-HSCT who cannot tolerate cyclosporine, but its efficacy and safety require further optimization and verification in prospective studies.

OBJECTIVE To improve the a pplicability of the prescription pre-review system to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM），and improve the quality of prescription review and rational drug use. METHODS The inappropriate pre-review rules of TCM prescription in prescription automatic screening system of our hospital were summarizd ，review rules were revised and the review process was standardized purposefully. The data of prescription review of Chinese patent medicine and TCM decoction pieces were collected from outpatient and emergency department of our hospital in the second quarter of 2020 （before the optimization of review rules ）and the fourth quarter of 2021（after the optimization of review rules ）. The reasonable rate of prescription and effective rate of intervention before and after the optimization of review rules were compared，and unreasonable problems were counted. RESULTS In our hospital ，the pre-review system had poor applicability in reviewing TCM prescriptions. There were some problems ，such as inconsistent or nonstandard names of TCM decoction pieces ，unreasonable dosage range settings，mechanical review of repeated drug use ，excessively strict review of “eighteen incompatible medicaments ”and“nineteen medicaments of mutual restraint ”and lack of safety warnings for special populations. In view of the above problems ，our hospital standardized the name of TCM decoction pieces ，and optimized the review rules such as dose range of TCM decoction pieces ， usage and dosage of Chinese patent medicine ，repeated medication ，drug interaction ，drug taboos for special people ，etc. After the revision of the rules ，the qualification rate of Chinese patent medicine prescriptions increased from 97.38％ to 98.17％（P＞0.05）， and the rate of effective intervention increased from 42.86％ to 79.71％（P＜0.05）；the qualification rate of TCM decoction pieces prescriptions increased from 47.98％ to 79.29％（P＜0.05），and the rate of effective intervention increased from 11.17％ to 29.13％（P＜0.05）. The number of unreasonable problems such as excessive daily dosage of TCM ，excessive dosage range ，drug interaction and drug contraindications for special groups decreased significantly in our hospital （P＜0.05）. There was no statistical significance in the number of unreasonable problems of repeated medication between 2 groups （P＞0.05），but there was a downward trend. T he total number of unreasonable problems had also decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The optimization measures of review rules in our hospital canimprove the applicability of the review system for TCM prescriptions，and improve the quality of prescription review and the level of rational drug use. However ，review rules of indications and the effectiveness of prescription intervention still needs to be further improved.
