Genitourinary system tumors, as a major clinical challenge posing a serious threat to human health, urgently require breakthroughs in the construction of a precision diagnosis and treatment system. The innovative application of molecular imaging technologies, particularly the development of novel molecular probes, is revolutionizing the diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms for urinary tumors. The application of novel molecular probes in the early diagnosis and staging of genitourinary tumors, the role of multimodal molecular imaging probes in guiding precision surgery/radiotherapy, and the clinical translation challenges and strategies for theranostic-integrated probes are systematically reviewed in this article to provide valuable insights and references for related research and clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of intraarticular vancomycin on early periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in knee arthroplasty and the incidence of postoperative complications.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 1 867 patients who underwent primary knee arthroplasty at Department of Joint Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from April 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively analysed, including total knee arthroplasty (TKA), robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) and unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). There were 687 males and 1 180 females, aged (68.0±11.2)years(range:45 to 87 years). Patients were divided into the vancomycin group and the control group according to whether or not intra-articular injection of 1 g of vancomycin powder dissolved in 30 ml of saline was performed after intraoperative joint capsule closure. In the vancomycin group, 925 patients were included, including 782 TKA, 27 RA-TKA and 116 UKA.In the control group, 942 patients were included, including 767 TKA, 99 RA-TKA and 76 UKA. Early PJI, wound complications, and vancomycin-related toxicity including acute renal collapse, ototoxicity, and allergic reactions were assessed within 3 months postoperatively. The data were compared using the independent sample t test, χ2 test, and Fisher's exact probability method, as appropriate. Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC). Results:No PJI was found in all patients in the vancomycin group.Five cases (0.7%,5/767) of early PJI were found in TKA patients in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.030); 1 case of early PJI was found in each RA-TKA and UKA patients, with non-significant difference compared with vancomycin group (all P>0.05). Two cases (0.3%,2/782) of incisional complications were found in TKA patients in the vancomycin group, and 4 cases (0.5%, 4/767) of incisional complications were found in TKA patients in the control group, with non-significant difference( P=0.449); no incisional complication was found in RA-TKA patients in the vancomycin group, and 1 case (1.0%,1/99) of incisional complications were found in RA-TKA patients in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); no incisional complication was found in both groups of UKA patients.No vancomycin-related acute kidney injury, ototoxicity, or allergic reactions was observed in all patients. Conclusion:Intra-articular injection of 1 g of vancomycin suspension after arthrotomy closure during TKA maybe lower the risk of early PJI without increasing the risk of wound complication and vancomycin-associated systemic toxicity.

Objective To investigate the application of intravenous iron in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding(AUD)and iron deficiency anemia(IDA)in gynecology,to establish the drug utilization evaluation(DUE)standard,and to comprehensively evaluate the rationality of the clinical application of intravenous iron by analytic hierarchy process(AHP),so as to provide reference for the rational use of intravenous iron in clinical practice.Methods The medical records of patients with AUD and IDA from January to December 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology were collected,and the special rationality of the drug was evaluated from the aspects of indications,route and frequency of administration,daily dosage,solvent,combination medication,and contraindications of iron sucrose injection,and the DUE standard of the drug was formulated.AHP was used to analyze and evaluate 113 archived cases of intravenous iron in gynecology from January to December 2022.Results A total of 113 patients were treated with iron sucrose injection,and the indications,route of administration,solvent,contraindications,and allergic reactions were reasonable.The main unreasonableness was that the frequency of administration was inappropriate,the daily dose was inappropriate,the combination was not appropriate,the total iron supplement was not up to standard,and there was no continuous drug monitoring after medication.The case scores 90～100,70～<90 and 60～<70 were 6(5.31%),106(93.81%)and 1(0.88%),respectively.Conclusion Patients with AUD and IDA should pay attention to the dosage,total amount of iron supplementation,combined application of drugs and continuous medication monitoring after intravenous iron supplementation,so as to improve the rationality of their use.

Objective To provide pharmaceutical monitoring using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe(PCNE)for patients with respiratory diseases,to explore effective pharmaceutical monitoring models in the department of respiratory,and to promote clinical rational drug use.Methods Inpatients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and lung infections in 2022 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology were selected and divided into a simple group and an intervention group.According to the PCNE classification system,the types,causes,interventions,acceptance of interventions,and resolution status of drug-related problems(DRPs)were analyzed.Results A total of 120 cases were included,60 cases in the simple group and 60 cases in the intervention group.Regarding the number of DRPs,there were 15 cases in the simple group and 45 cases in the intervention group,and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).There were a total of 82 DRPs,which were mainly related to therapeutic efficacy(51.22%)and safety(46.34%),and the reasons for this were that patients'incorrect medication usage method,inappropriate usage and dosage,and unscheduled safety monitoring,etc.The pharmacist interventions were 75(91.46%)at the drug level,38(46.34%)at the physician level,and 43(52.44%)at the patient level;after the pharmacist interventions,the acceptance rate was in the range of 97.56%,and 74.39%of the DRPs were resolved.Conclusion PCNE classification system helps clinical pharmacists to enhance their ability to find and deal with DRPs,reduce the risk of clinical adverse events and promote reasonable and safe drug use.Meanwhile,it is conducive to the standardization of pharmaceutical care records for patients with respiratory diseases and provides reference for pharmaceutical service models for patients in the department of respiratory.

To investigate the effects of Pithecellobium clypearia extract on the tissue structure,in-flammatory lesions as well as microbial diversity in the intestinal of yellow-feathered broilers.2401-day-old yellow-feathered broilers were randomly divided into four groups(groups A,B,C and D),groups A,B and C were supplemented with Pithecellobium clypearia extract in basal diets with concentrations of 0.5,1.0 and 2.0 g/kg,respectively.Group D served as the control group without adding Pithecellobium clypearia extract in diets,and the full trial period lasted for 70 d.Duodenum and jejunum samples were collected on the 20th,40th and 70th days of the test,the vil-lous/crypt ratio of duodenum and jejunum were calculated,and the mRNA expression level of in-flammatory cytokine as well as related pathways were detected in each group,respectively.In addition,the contents of cecum were collected at 70 th day of the experiment and the microbial di-versity in cecum were also analysed by 16S rDNA sequencing.The results showed that adding 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg of Pithecellobium clypearia extract in the diet could significantly increase the veloci-ty height/crypt depth ratio of duodenum and jejunum(P＜0.05)compared to control group,as well as the mRNA expression level of tight junction protein(CLDN1 and CLDN5)in jejunum,which further improved the structure of mucous of intestinal.Pithecellobium clypearia extract could significantly(P＜0.05)decrease the mRNA expression level of inflammatory cytokine inclu-ding IL-1β,IL-8 and TNF-α,as well as the related pathway genes such as TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB in jejunum,thus reduced the inflammatory lesions in intestinal.Pithecellobium clypearia ex-tract also could significantly increase the abundance of beneficial microbial such as Parabacteroide and Prevotellaceae,while significantly decrease the abundance of pathogenic microbial such as Proteobacteria in cecum(P＜0.05)and improve the microbial diversity in intestinal.In summary,Pithecellobium clypearia extract could improve the structure of intestinal tissue and the gut barri-er function,as well as the microbial diversity in cecum,and also decrease the inflammatory lesions in jejunum,which is helpful to the intestinal health for yellow-feathered broilers.The present study provides scientific basis for the development of Pithecellobium clypearia as a safe feed additive in the future.

Objective To establish a risk prediction model for type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)related overactive bladder(OAB),and to verify the diagnostic efficacy and clinical application value of the model.Methods The clinical data of 298 patients with diabetes who underwent urodynamic examination in The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 2020 to October 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the results of urodynamics,all the patients were divided into T2DM group(T2DM,n=218)and OAB group(OAB,n=80).The risk factors of OAB were analyzed by logistic regression,and the prediction model was established according to the risk factors.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration diagram and decision curve analysis(DCA)were used to analyze and evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the model.Results Logistic regression analysis results showed that age,DM duration,BMI,HbA1c,DPN and OAB score(OABSS),were independent predictors for OAB.The nomogram model built based on the above risk factors had good predictive ability,and its area under ROC curve was 0.937.The correction curve showed that the predicted probability of OAB in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was basically parallel to the actual probability of urodynamic detection.The results of DCA show that the model has high clinical value.Conclusions The nomogram model built by age,DM duration,OABSS,BMI,HbA1c,DPN has high predictive efficacy for OAB in patients with T2DM.

Objective:To explore potential predictors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) in early stage. Methods:The prospective multicenter study was conducted in Zhejiang, China from May 1 st, 2019 to January 31 st, 2020. A total of 1 428 patients with fever >48 hours to <120 hours were studied. Their clinical data and oral pharyngeal swab samples were collected; Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA in pharyngeal swab specimens was detected. Patients with positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA results underwent a series of tests, including chest X-ray, complete blood count, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and procalcitonin. According to the occurrence of RMPP, the patients were divided into two groups, RMPP group and general Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (GMPP) group. Measurement data between the 2 groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations between clinical data and RMPP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyse the power of the markers for predicting RMPP. Results:A total of 1 428 patients finished the study, with 801 boys and 627 girls, aged 4.3 (2.7, 6.3) years. Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA was positive in 534 cases (37.4%), of whom 446 cases (83.5%) were diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, including 251 boys and 195 girls, aged 5.2 (3.3, 6.9) years. Macrolides-resistant variation was positive in 410 cases (91.9%). Fifty-five cases were with RMPP, 391 cases with GMPP. The peak body temperature before the first visit and LDH levels in RMPP patients were higher than that in GMPP patients (39.6 (39.1, 40.0) vs. 39.2 (38.9, 39.7) ℃, 333 (279, 392) vs. 311 (259, 359) U/L, both P<0.05). Logistic regression showed the prediction probability π=exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004×LDH (U/L))/(1+exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004 × LDH (U/L))), the cut-off value to predict RMPP was 0.12, with a consensus of probability forecast of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.89, and specificity of 0.67; and the area under ROC curve was 0.682 (95% CI 0.593-0.771, P<0.01). Conclusion:In MPP patients with fever over 48 to <120 hours, a prediction probability π of RMPP can be calculated based on the peak body temperature and LDH level before the first visit, which can facilitate early identification of RMPP.
