OBJECTIVE To analyze the influential factors for clinical efficacy of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii （CRAB） pulmonary infection. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with CRAB pulmonary infection in our hospital from May 2021 to October 2024. Information such as age， gender， admitting department， infection status， underlying medical conditions， mechanical ventilation time， combination anti-infective treatment regimens， and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ （APACHE-Ⅱ） score 24 h before medication was compiled. Based on the effectiveness of the treatment， patients were divided into treatment-effective group and treatment-ineffective group. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were employed to identify independent factors influencing clinical efficacy. RESULTS A total of 156 patients were included， and 108 patients were treated effectively， with an effective rate of 69.23%. The results of univariate analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences between 2 groups in terms of the duration of mechanical ventilation time， APACHE-Ⅱ score 24 h before medication， the number of complication types， the proportion of abnormal coagulation function， anti-infective treatment course， and hospital stay before medication （P＜0.05）. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication [OR＝2.965， 95%CI （1.284， 6.845）， P＝0.020]， mechanical 20251606） ventilation time≥10 d [OR＝3.577， 95%CI （1.185， 10.793）， P＝0.037] and hospital stay≥14 d before medication [OR＝2.422， 95%CI （1.036， 5.654）， P＝0.041] were independent 15120420253@139.com risk factors， and anti-infective treatment course＞7 d was a protective factor [OR＝0.445， 95%CI （0.221， 0.895）， P＝0.043]. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the effective rate of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of CRAB pulmonary infection is less than 70%. The mechanical ventilation time≥10 d， APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication， and hospital stay≥14 d before medication may lead to treatment failure， whereas anti-infective treatment course＞7 d may be associated with treatment success.

Objective: To investigate the trends in disease burden due to childhood asthma in China from 1990 to 2021 and to project the disease burden from 2022 to 2035, so as to provide insights into formulation of the control interventions for childhood asthma in China. Methods: The prevalent case, agestandard prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and agestandard DALYs rate of children with asthma at ages of 0 to 14 years and their 95% uncertainty interval (UI) in China from 1990 to 2021 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. The temporal trends in the disease burden of childhood asthma were evaluated with estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI), and the disease burden due to asthma was projected among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China using a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model from 2022 to 2035. Results: There were 9.368 3 million (95%UI=6.410 7 million to 14.026 1 million) prevalent cases of asthma among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China in 2021, contributing to 0.387 9 million (95%UI=0.216 1 million to 0.668 8 million) DALYs loss. The prevalent cases and DALYs of asthma decreased by 37.28% and 52.55% among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China in 2021 compared with 1990, and the agestandardized prevalence [EAPC=-0.70%, 95%CI=-1.26% to -0.13%)] and DALY rates [EAPC=-1.71%, 95%CI=-2.32% to -1.10%)] also appeared a tendency towards a decline. From 1990 to 2021, the prevalent cases, prevalence, DALYs and DALYs rate of asthma were all higher among male children than among female children, and the disease burden of asthma was higher among children at ages of 5 to 9 years than at other age groups. BAPC model predicted a decline in both prevalent cases and DALYs of asthma among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China from 2022 to 2035, with 6.759 6 million prevalent cases and DALYs of 0.228 4 million personyears in 2035, while the prevalence and DALYs rates were projected to rise to 5 143.35/105 and 173.75/105 in 2035. Conclusions Despite a reduction in the disease burden of asthma among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China from 1990 to 2021, the prevalence remained high. The disease burden due to asthma is projected to appear a decline among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China from 2022 to 2035; however, the prevalence and DALYs rates still rise. Intensified control measures and targeted interventions are required to reduce the disease burden of childhood asthma.

Objective: Bariatric surgery effectively treats non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The glutamate-serine-glycine (GSG) index has emerged as a non-invasive diagnostic marker for NAFLD, but its ability to monitor treatment response remains unclear. This study investigates the GSG index's ability to monitor NAFLD's response to bariatric surgery. Methodology: Ten NAFLD participants were studied at baseline and 6 months post-bariatric surgery. Blood samples were collected for serum biomarkers and metabolomic profiling. Hepatic steatosis [proton density fat fraction (PDFF)] and fibroinflammation (cT1) were quantified with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), and hepatic stiffness with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Amino acids and acylcarnitines were measured with mass spectrometry. Statistical analyses included paired Student’s t-test, Wilcoxon-signed rank test, and Pearson’s correlation. Results: Eight participants provided complete data. At baseline, all had hepatic steatosis (BMI 39.3 ± 5.6 kg/m2, PDFF ≥ 5%). Post-surgery reductions in PDFF (from 12.4 ± 6.7% to 6.2 ± 2.8%, p = 0.013) and cT1 (from 823.3 ± 85.4ms to 757.5 ± 41.6ms, p = 0.039) were significant, along with the GSG index (from 0.272 ± 0.03 to 0.157 ± 0.05, p = 0.001). Conclusion The GSG index can potentially be developed as a marker for monitoring the response of patients with NAFLD to bariatric surgery.

Anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of clinic application, in which the star molecules have always been the hotspot of modern drug research, but they are limited by the solubility, stability, targeting, bioactivity or toxicity of the monomer components of traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules and other pharmacokinetic problems, which hinders the traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules for further clinical translation and application. Currently, the nanosystems prepared by supramolecular technologies such as molecular self-assembly and nanomaterial encapsulation have broader application prospects in improving the anti-tumor effect of active components of traditional Chinese medicine, which has attracted extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, we systematically review the research progress in preparation of supramolecular nano-systems from anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine, and summarize the two major categories and ten small classes of carrier-free and carrier-based supramolecular nanosystems and their research cases, and the future development direction is put forward. The purpose of this paper is to provide reference for the research and clinical transformation of using supramolecular technology to improve the clinical application of anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine.
