Objective:To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of allergic reactions to cephalosporins.Methods:A cross-sectional study of 29 medical institutions in Zhejiang Province was conducted from April 2021 to June 2021.The incidence of allergic reactions to cephalosporins was investigated,and the influencing factors of cephalosporin-induced allergic reactions were analyzed by Poisson regression.Results:A total of 56 155 patients were included in this study.The total incidence of allergic reactions to cephalosporin was 1.67‰,the highest incidence of anaphylaxis occurred for ceftizoxime(4.27‰),followed by ceftriaxone(3.49‰)and cefotaxime(2.40‰).There was no significant difference in the incidence of allergic reactions between patients with negative skin tests and those without skin tests(1.75%o vs.1.63‰,RR=1.07,95%CI:0.70-1.63,P>0.05).Poisson regression showed that body mass index(BMI)<18.5 kg/m2(RR=2.43,95%CI:1.23-4.82,P<0.05)and history of β-lactam antibiotics allergy(RR=33.88,95%CI:1.47-781.12,P<0.05)increased cephalosporin-induced anaphylaxis.Compared with cefuroxime,the risk of allergic reactions was increased for ceftriaxone(RR=3.08,95%CI:1.70-5.59,P<0.01),ceftazidime(RR=1.89,95%CI:1.03-3.47,P<0.05),and ceftizoxime(RR=3.74,95%CI:1.64-8.50,P<0.01).Conclusions:Lower BMI and history of β-lactam antibiotics allergy increase the risk of cephalosporin allergic reactions.The routine skin test may not reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions to cephalosporins. This study has been registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry(ChiCTR2200064314).

Journal of Chinese Physician 2024;26(9):1360-1363
Objective:To analyze the effects of Shuanghuakun pregnancy formula combined with thunder fire moxibustion on clinical symptoms and ovarian function in patients with endometriosis (EMT).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 90 patients with EMT who visited Hebei Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shijiazhuang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2021 to July 2023. They were divided into two groups, with 45 patients in each group, based on different treatment methods. The control group was treated with gestrinone capsules, while the observation group was treated with Shuanghuakun pregnancy formula combined with thunder fire moxibustion. The clinical efficacy, clinical symptom scores, ovarian function, and serum cytokines before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group [95.56%(43/45)] was higher than that of the control group [68.89%(31/45)] ( P<0.05). After treatment, the observation group had lower scores of non menstrual anal pain, sexual pain, non menstrual lower abdominal pain, and menstrual abdominal pain than the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05), and the number of antral follicles and ovarian volume were greater than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The combination of Shuanghuakun pregnancy formula and thunder fire moxibustion can effectively alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain in EMT patients, improve ovarian function, reduce serum FSH, CA125, TNF-α, and VEGF levels, and enhance treatment efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the value of three-dimensional (3D) CT in diagnosing cricoarytenoid dislocation.Methods:From January 2021 to December 2021, 31 patients with unilateral cricoarytenoid dislocation who had been treated by reduction forceps at the Affiliated BenQ Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were collected retrospectively, and their voice recovered or improved significantly after therapy. The preoperative CT images were reconstructed by volume rendering (VR). The dislocated side (left and right), type of dislocation (total dislocation and subluxation), and dislocation direction (anterior, posterior, internal and external dislocation) of cricoarytenoid dislocation were observed. According to arytenoid articular surface of cricoid cartilage exposed completely or not (caused by arytenoid displacement), they were divided into complete dislocation and subluxation. According to the direction of arytenoid displacement and the part of arytenoid articular surface of cricoid cartilage exposed, they were divided into anterior, posterior, internal and external dislocation. According to the shape of the vocal cords on laryngoscope, anterior and posterior dislocation of each case was judged, and then compared with that of CT.Results:On VR images, there were 28 cases of cricoarytenoid subluxation (90.3%, 28/31) and 3 cases of complete dislocation (9.7%, 3/31). Left cricoarytenoid dislocation was 26 cases (83.9%, 26/31) and right cricoarytenoid dislocation was 5 cases (16.1%, 5/31). Posterior dislocation was 28 cases (90.3%, 28/31) and anterior dislocation was 3 cases (9.7%, 3/31). There were 23 cases of internal dislocation (74.2%, 23/31), 2 cases of external dislocation (6.4%, 2/31), and 6 cases without obvious internal and external dislocation (19.4%, 6/31). Three cases of complete dislocation were left posterior internal dislocation.There were 24 cases of left posterior dislocation (77.4%, 24/31), 4 cases of right posterior dislocation (12.9%, 4/31), 2 cases of left anterior dislocation (6.4%, 2/31) and 1 case of right anterior dislocation (3.2%, 1/31). On laryngoscope, there were 19 cases of posterior dislocation (61.3%, 19/31), 9 cases of anterior dislocation (29.0%, 9/31), 3 cases were difficult to assess (9.7%, 3/31) because of aryepiglottic fold covering. Sixteen cases (55.2%, 16/28) were consistent with 3D CT, and 12 cases (42.8%, 12/28) were inconsistent.Conclusion:The 3D CT is a reliable method to evaluate cricoarytenoid dislocation, which can show dislocated side, type and direction of cricoarytenoid dislocation clearly.

Objective:To explore whether the specific synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) targeted imaging agent ( R)-4-(3-fluoro-5-(fluoro- 18F)phenyl)-1-((3-methylpyridin-4-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-2-one ( 18F-SDM-8) can be used to detect epileptic foci. Methods:Twenty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (8-9 weeks) were injected with 1.2 μl of kainic acid (16 rats in the epilepsy group) or saline (4 rats in the control group) into the right hippocampus. 18F-SDM-8 and 18F-FDG mircoPET/CT imaging were respectively performed at 1-2 d (acute phase), 6-7 d (incubation period) and 45-60 d (chronic phase) after the seizure. Asymmetric index (AI) was used to evaluate the epileptic foci identify ability of 18F-SDM-8. Paired t test, Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze data. Results:In the three periods of 18F-SDM-8 imaging, the differences of AI of hippocampus between the epilepsy group and control group were statistically significant ( z values: from -2.64 to 2.67, all P<0.05). Both imaging agents had asymmetric uptake in the epilepsy group (right was lower than left), and the decrease in the medial right temporal lobe was the most significant. The pathological staining results were consistent with the imaging results. In the chronic phase of the epilepsy group, the differences of 18F-SDM-8 SUV mean (right versus left) in each brain area of interest were statistically significant ( t value: from -33.40 to -5.60, all P<0.05). The asymmetric uptake of the two imaging agents in the hippocampus had a better correlation ( r=0.97, P=0.001), and the AI of 18F-SDM-8 ((34.2±8.4)%) in this area was 1.4 times higher than that of 18F-FDG ((24.6±4.7)%). Conclusions:18F-SDM-8 PET is a promising method to test the level of SV2A. It can reflect the changes of SV2A in the rat epilepsy model induced by intrahippocampal injection of kainic acid, and improve the sensitivity of molecular imaging for epileptic foci.

NDFIP1 has been previously reported as a tumor suppressor in multiple solid tumors, but the function of NDFIP1 in NSCLC and the underlying mechanism are still unknown. Besides, the WW domain containing proteins can be recognized by NDFIP1, resulted in the loading of the target proteins into exosomes. However, whether WW domain-containing transcription regulator 1 (WWTR1, also known as TAZ) can be packaged into exosomes by NDFIP1 and if so, whether the release of this oncogenic protein via exosomes has an effect on tumor development has not been investigated to any extent. Here, we first found that NDFIP1 was low expressed in NSCLC samples and cell lines, which is associated with shorter OS. Then, we confirmed the interaction between TAZ and NDFIP1, and the existence of TAZ in exosomes, which requires NDFIP1. Critically, knockout of NDFIP1 led to TAZ accumulation with no change in its mRNA level and degradation rate. And the cellular TAZ level could be altered by exosome secretion. Furthermore, NDFIP1 inhibited proliferation in vitro and in vivo, and silencing TAZ eliminated the increase of proliferation caused by NDFIP1 knockout. Moreover, TAZ was negatively correlated with NDFIP1 in subcutaneous xenograft model and clinical samples, and the serum exosomal TAZ level was lower in NSCLC patients. In summary, our data uncover a new tumor suppressor, NDFIP1 in NSCLC, and a new exosome-related regulatory mechanism of TAZ.
