Recombinant human interferon α2b(rhIFNα2b)is widely used as an antiviral therapy agent for the treatment of hepatitis B and hepatitis C.The current identification test for rhIFNα2b is complex.In this study,an anti-rhIFNα2b nanobody was discovered and used for the development of a rapid lateral flow strip for the identification of rhIFNα2b.RhIFNα2b was used to immunize an alpaca,which established a phage nanobody library.After five steps of enrichment,the nanobody I22,which specifically bound rhIFNα2b,was isolated and inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a.After subsequent purification,the physicochemical properties of the nanobody were determined.A semiquantitative detection and rapid identification assay of rhIFNα2b was developed using this novel nanobody.To develop a rapid test,the nanobody I22 was coupled with a colloidal gold to produce lateral-flow test strips.The developed rhIFNα2b detection assay had a limit of detection of 1 μg/mL.The isolation of I22 and successful construction of a lateral-flow immunochromatographic test strip demonstrated the feasibility of performing ligand-binding assays on a lateral-flow test strip using recombinant protein products.The principle of this novel assay is generally applicable for the rapid testing of other com-mercial products,with a great potential for routine use in detecting counterfeit recombinant protein products.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of shear wave elastography (SWE) in predicting pathological responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer.Methods:According to the postoperative pathological responses, 56 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical excision in the Fujian Cancer Hospital from August 2019 to September 2020 were divided into responders and non-responders. The relative change rates of tumor maximum diameter(ΔD2, ΔD4) and SWE stiffness (ΔEmax2, ΔEmax4, ΔEmean2, ΔEmean4) were assessed before NAC and after different NAC cycles (t2, t4). Clinical information, including age, T, N stages, ER, PR, HER2, Ki67, and molecular subtype were also considered as the variables. The independent influencing factors of pathological responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were obtained by logistic regression analysis and diagnostic test was carried out.Results:There were 23 cases as responders (41.0%, 23/56), and 33 cases as non-responders (58.9%, 33/56). Results of multivariate analysis showed ΔEmax4 and HER2 index were independent influencing factors of pathological responses ( OR=1.11, P<0.001; OR=31.81, P=0.002). Area under curve of the ΔEmax4 (AUC: 0.869, 95% CI: 0.746-0.941) was higher than that of HER2 (AUC: 0.690, 95% CI: 0.545-0.834). The combination of ΔEmax4 and HER2 gave the best prediction of pathological responses (AUC 0.930, 95% CI: 0.829-0.981). the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, postive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 78.26%, 96.97%, 75.23%, 94.73%, and 86.49%, respectively. Conclusions:ΔEmax4 and HER2 are independent predictors of pathological responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Combined ΔEmax4 and HER2 can improve the predictive diagnostic efficacy of pathological responses to chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the effects of hyperuricemia on the prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) using propensity score matching (PSM) method.Methods:IgAN patients proven by biopsy were included. PSM was used to match patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of hyperuricemia on IgAN prognosis. Primary outcome events were defined as death, or end-stage renal disease (dialysis, transplantation), or a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 40%. Renal outcome was defined as end-stage renal disease (dialysis, transplantation), or a decrease in eGFR greater than 40%.Results:A total of 1 454 IgAN patients were included in this study, including 850 females and 604 males. Uric acid level was (368.26±92.87) μmol/L in the males, and (277.23±92.71) μmol/L in the females. The median follow-up time was 85.00(56.10, 106.33) months. During the follow-up period, a total of 134 patients reached the primary outcome events, including 5 deaths, 24 dialysis patients, 5 kidney transplant patients, and 100 patients with eGFR decreased by more than 40%. After 1∶1 matching, 131 males and 159 females in the hyperuricemia group were successfully matched with 131 males and 159 females in the normal uric acid group, and there was no significant statistical difference in each parameter in baseline between the hyperuricemia group and normal uric acid group after matching. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that either before or after matching, the incidence of primary outcome events in male or female patients with hyperuricemia was higher than those with normal uric acid, but there was no statistically significant difference in incidence of primary outcome events between female hyperuricemia group and female normal uric acid group after matching (Log-rank test, χ2=3.586, P=0.058). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that, in the pre-match fully adjusted model, the hazard ratio ( HR) of entering primary outcome events was 2.29-fold (95% CI 1.27-4.11, P=0.006) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.85-fold (95% CI 1.01-3.37, P=0.045) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the post-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering primary outcome events was 2.41-fold (95% CI 1.18-4.93, P=0.016) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.83-fold (95% CI 0.91-3.67, P=0.091) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the pre-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering renal outcome events was 2.68-fold (95% CI 1.47-4.88, P=0.001) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.81-fold (95% CI 0.99-3.33, P=0.056) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the post-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering renal outcome events was 2.89-fold (95% CI 1.36-6.15, P=0.006) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.81-fold (95% CI 0.88-3.72, P=0.106) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. Conclusion:Hyperuricemia may be associated with IgAN progression, and it has a more significant effect on male IgAN patients.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the mode of personnel training in pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS) in China, and to provide reference for the comprehensive training of pharmacist in PIVAS in China. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CJFD, VIP and Wanfang database were searched from the establishment of database to Sept. 2018. Studies which evaluated the training mode of PIVAS in China were included, and the results were presented by descriptive analysis in respects of training objects, training objectives, contents and evaluation indicators. RESULTS: A total of 5 literatures were included. The research types were 2 before-after control studies, 2 experience sharing studies and 1 review. 3 subjects were pharmacists, 1 subject was clinical pharmacists, and 1 subject was nurses. The training objectives were comprehensive quality training, clinical rational drug use level, pharmacy personnel training path and professional service ability. The specific training content of the training mode varied greatly, including professional theoretical knowledge, practical operation ability, pre-job training, professional psychological quality, professional ethics and laws and regulations, continuing education learning ability, career development planning and teaching ability. There were great differences in the evaluation indicators of training effectiveness, which were mainly reflected in team execution motivation and creativity, discoveny rate of unreasonable doctor’s advice, work efficiency, service quality, drug treatment level and satisfaction of PIVAS, etc. CONCLUSIONS: There are certain differences in the training objectives, training targets, specific contents and evaluation indicators of the PIVAS pharmacist training model in China. It is necessary to use the evidence- based method to construct the training mode for PIVAS pharmacist to provide support for clinical intravenous drug use.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate current status of charges in pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS), and to provide reference for the formulation of China’s pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS) charging standards. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database and related goverment websets, the literatures about current status evaluation of charges in PIVAS of China were collected during the establishment of database to Jan. 2019. Cost estimation, charge standard, influential factors and other indicators were collected, and the results were presented by descriptive analysis. RESULTS: A total of 5 literatures were included, all of which were reviewed. According to the existing literatures, except for Shandong, Guangdong and Yunnan provinces, there were no regional charge standards in other provinces (districts and cities). The cost estimation methods of PIVAS in these three provinces were basically the same. The cost could be obtained by adding up the business fees, labor fees, fees of medical instruments purchase and use, indirect fees etc. Dispensing charges in PIVAS were 3-5 yuan per piece for general drug, 5 yuan per piece for antibiotics and 8-12 yuan per piece for cancer chemotherapeutics, 20-35 yuan per piece for TPN. The charging level was mainly affected by local prices, PIVAS scale, hardware investment, management and other factors. CONCLUSIONS: There is no unified charging standard for PIVAS in most provinces (districts, cities) of China. The cost estimation methods of the hospitals from the included literatures are basically the same. It is necessary to construct national PIVAS charging standard and cost estimation method, which could provide a basis for formulating the price of medical and health services.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the status quo of cost estimation in pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS), and to provide cost basis for the construction of PIVAS in China. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, CBM, CNKI, CSJD and Wanfang database from database establishment to Jan. 2019, the studies about the status quo of cost estimation in PIVAS of China were included. The descriptive analysis was conducted for content and method of cost estimation, infection to hospital. RESULTS: A total of 17 literatures were included, involving 8 before and after control studies, 6 experience sharing studies and 3 reviews. Existing reports showed that the estimation contents and methods of PIVAS cost were roughly the same. The cost included manpower, medical and health materials, fixed asset purchase, depreciation, repair costs, medicine cost and indirect costs. At the same time, the infection to hospital were reported, such as in manpower adopting, formulating detailed management measures and systems, concurrent allocation of the same kind of drugs, shortening infusion preparation and replacement time, in order to save manpower cost. CONCLUSIONS: PIVAS cost calculation method is roughly the same in some hospitals, but there is no uniform standard. It is necessary to further improve the PIVAS cost measurement standard and provide a basis for the construction and development of PIVAS in China.
