During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 pandemic,the World Health Organization issued guidelines suggesting that antibiotics should not be used in patients with suspected or confirmed mild novel coronavirus infection unless there is clinical suspicion of bacterial infection.However,recent statistical studies have pointed out that the proportion of non-essential antibiotics used by patients infected with the novel coronavirus is very high,resulting in a large number of bacteria resistances,causing tens of thousands of lives and huge economic losses.The role of antibiotics in the treatment of diseases caused by drug-resistant bacteria is increasingly limited,and it has become an urgent social issue in the post-epidemic era.In recent years,with the progress of biotechnology and the wide application of monoclonal antibodies in the field of tumor research,the development of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections has gradually attracted attention.At present,certain progress has been made in laboratory research,and the clinical trials of some products have also achieved good results,but they have not been widely used in clinical practice.This article reviews the types,advantages and related clinical trials of antimicrobial monoclonal antibodies,and looks forward to the future development and challenges.

PiT2 is an inorganic phosphate (Pi) transporter whose mutations are linked to primary familial brain calcification (PFBC). PiT2 mainly consists of two ProDom (PD) domains and a large intracellular loop region (loop7). The PD domains are crucial for the Pi transport, but the role of PiT2-loop7 remains unclear. In PFBC patients, mutations in PiT2-loop7 are mainly nonsense or frameshift mutations that probably cause PFBC due to C-PD1131 deletion. To date, six missense mutations have been identified in PiT2-loop7; however, the mechanisms by which these mutations cause PFBC are poorly understood. Here, we found that the p.T390A and p.S434W mutations in PiT2-loop7 decreased the Pi transport activity and cell surface levels of PiT2. Furthermore, we showed that these two mutations attenuated its membrane localization by affecting adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)- or protein kinase B (AKT)-mediated PiT2 phosphorylation. In contrast, the p.S121C and p.S601W mutations in the PD domains did not affect PiT2 phosphorylation but rather impaired its substrate-binding abilities. These results suggested that missense mutations in PiT2-loop7 can cause Pi dyshomeostasis by affecting the phosphorylation-regulated cell-surface localization of PiT2. This study helps understand the pathogenesis of PFBC caused by PiT2-loop7 missense mutations and indicates that increasing the phosphorylation levels of PiT2-loop7 could be a promising strategy for developing PFBC therapies.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effect between regular spherical corneal refractive therapy (CRT) and dual axis CRT on myopia with corneal astigmatism.Methods:A non-randomized controlled study was conducted.Aged 8 to 14 years old, forty-eight patients (48 eyes) wearing CRT orthokeratology enrolled from May, 2018 to December, 2018 in First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University were divided into dual axis CRT group (24 eyes) and spherical CRT group (24 eyes) according to their guardians' willingness.After 1-year follow-up, the visual acuity, eccentricity distance in treatment area, annual axial growth and the corneal punctate staining incidence of the two groups were compared.The study followed the Declaration of Helsinki, and was approved by an Ethics Committee of First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (No.KY201975). Written informed consent was obtained from guardians prior to any examination.Results:The uncorrected visual acuity of the dual axis CRT group was better than that of the spherical CRT group at one week and one month after correction, and the differences were statistically significant (both at P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in uncorrected visual acuity between the two groups at other time points (all at P>0.05). The deviations of optical center in the spherical CRT group at each observation time points were significantly larger than that in the dual axis group (all at P<0.05), and the deviation was not obviously changed with time in both groups and there was no significant difference in deviation change between the two groups ( Ftime=2.301, P=0.074). The eccentricity was mainly in horizontal direction in spherical CRT group.The median annual axial growth was 0.12 (0.10, 0.45)mm in the dual axis CRT group and 0.14 (0.10, 0.46)mm in the spherical CRT group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( Z=0.248, P=0.804). There was 4.2%(1/24) of the patients having grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ corneal punctate staining in the dual axis CRT group, and 25.0%(6/24) in the regular spherical CRT group, showing significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.180, P=0.049). Conclusions:For the treatment of myopia with astigmatism, dual axis CRT shows better centricity and safety than spherical CRT.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of anterior cervical surgery for lower cervical dislocation combined with spinal cord injury.Methods:A retrospective case series study was carried out to analyze the clinical data of 72 patients with lower cervical dislocation and spinal cord injury admitted in Beijing Boai Hospital, China Rehabilitation Research Center from January 2011 to August 2018, including 55 males and 17 females, with an average age of 35.8 years (range, 18-63 years). The segments of injury were at C 3 in 2 patients, at C 4 in 16, at C 6 in 24 and at C 7 in 30. Bases on American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade, there included grade A in 43 patients, grade B in 22, grade C in 6 and grade D in 1. All patients were treated with anterior decompression and fusion. Operation time, intraoperative hemorrhage, decompression and fusion, complications and ASIA grade were observed. Results:All patients were followed up for 3-72 months (average 24.2 months). Operation time was 90-180 months [(118±58)minutes] and intraoperative bleeding volume was 50-180 ml [(104±30)ml]. Spinal cord was decompressed in all patients. The reduction was excellent in 58 patients (81%) and fair in 14 patients (19%). Fusion was confirmed in 48 patients (67%). The complications were improved after timely treatment, including cervical edema in 1 patient, laryngeal edema in 1, cerebrospinal fluid leakage in 4 and axial pain in 2. ASIA grade change of spinal cord injury: grade A were recovered to grade B in 2 patients, grade A to grade C in 1, grade B to grade C in 1, grade C to grade D in 2 ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For dislocation of lower cervical spine combined with spinal cord injury, anterior surgery can obtain good decompression, reduction and fusion effect, but it has limited help for improvement of neurological function.

Objective To identify the efficacy of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gargle in patients who had oral mucositis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods A total of 134 patients were enrolled in this study from 2014 to 2015. They were randomly divided into two groups:the experimental group (n=65) and the control group (n=69). Both groups received preventive measures for oral mucositis. But once oral mucositis occurred, the control group continued with the routine nursing measure, while the experimental group added GM-CSF gargle based on previous routine nursing measure. The effective rate and healing time were compared between two groups. Results The effective rate of the experimental group (81.54%, 53/65) was significantly higher than that of the control group (24.64%,17/69) (χ2=43.434, P=0.000). The median healing time in the experimental group was 4.5 days, shorter than 9.0 days in the control group (Z=-5.379, P< 0.01). Conclusions GM-CSF gargle can control the oral mucositis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of nontraumatic spinal cord injury, including the demographic characteristics,etiology and neurological function. Methods 44 patients with nontraumatic spinal cord injury in the past 4 years were reviewed. Results There were 27 males (61.3%) and 17 females (38.7%) with mean age of 39.85 years (3.5~78). They were followed up for mean of 13.3 (3~23) months. Myelitis (36%) and spinal tumor (including primary and metastatic tumor, 18.1%) were the most common causes, followed by intraspinal tumor (15.9%), vascular disease (13.6%), nontraumatic acute disc herination (6.8%), spinal cord ischemia after non-spinal surgery (4.5%) and hepatic myelopathy (4.5%). Neurological function at the initial admission included tetraplegia in 9 patients, paraplegia in 30 patients, conus medullaris syndrome in 2 patients and cauda equina syndrome in 2 patients. Neurological function of ASIA at the initial admission included A in 14 cases, B in 6, C in 13 and D in 11. 34% patients improved at least one ASIA grade when evaluated at final follow up. Conclusion Nontraumatic etiologies contribute to a significant proportion for spinal cord injury. Patients with nontraumatic spinal cord injury present the clinical characteristics different from traumatic spinal cord injury cases.
