OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between the steady-state minimal concentration （cmin） and 24 h area under the drug concentration-time curve （AUC24）/minimal inhibitory concentration （MIC） ratio （AUC24/MIC） of vancomycin in pediatric patients， and analyze independent risk factors for treatment failure. METHODS Data of hospitalized children treated with vancomycin and receiving therapeutic drug monitoring in our hospital from January 2021 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected and divided into success group and failure group according to whether the treatment was successful or not. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between cmin and AUC24/MIC of vancomycin， and one-way and multifactorial Logistic regression analyses were used to screen the independent risk factors for vancomycin treatment failure. RESULTS A total of 59 children were included， with 41 in the success group and 18 in the failure group. Compared with the failure group， AUC24/MIC of vancomycin was significantly higher in the success group （P＝0.038）， but there was no statistically significant difference in the cmin of the two groups （P＞0.05）； cmin of vancomycin was significantly positively correlated with AUC24/MIC （r＝0.499， P＜0.001）， but it has a certain efficacy in predicting the achievement of the AUC24/MIC standard （≥400） （area under the receiver operator characteristic curve＝0.696）， with an optimal cutoff value of 6.05 mg/L determined by the Youden index. The efficacy of AUC24/ MIC in predicting treatment failure was superior to cmin （areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve were 0.671 vs. 0.523， P were 0.038 vs. 0.684）， with higher sensitivity （83.3% vs. 66.7%）. Hypoproteinemia and AUC24/MIC≤369.1 were independent risk factors for vancomycin treatment failure （P＜0.05）. The incidence of nephrotoxicity was 3.4%. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant positive correlation between cmin and AUC24/MIC of vancomycin in pediatric patients； hypoproteinemia and AUC24/MIC≤369.1 are independent risk factors for vancomycin treatment failure in children.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the construction and practice of a drug traceability code management system in pediatric hospitals， providing a reference for promoting drug traceability code collection in healthcare institutions. METHODS Taking the outpatient pharmacy of our hospital as the research subject， a drug traceability code management system was constructed through the upgrade of the hospital information system （HIS）， process optimization， and human-machine collaboration mechanism. The PDCA （plan-do-check-act） cycle management method was applied to continuously optimize this system. Based on operational data from March 2024 to February 2025， the changes in the collection rate of drug traceability codes were analyzed， and the differences in the average patient pickup time， the average pharmacist dispensing time， and the dispensing error rate were compared before and after the implementation of the system. RESULTS In the initial period of trial operation of the drug traceability code management system（June 2024）， the collection rate of drug traceability codes was 57.17%， which subsequently improved to 93.52% by February 2025 following process optimization. Compared with the pre-implementation period （March-May 2024）， there was no significant difference （P＞0.05） in the average patient pickup time during the stable run-in period （August-October 2024）； the overall average pharmacist dispensing time increased significantly （P＜0.001）， but the clinical significance of this increase （0.42 s） was limited； stratified analyses showed a significant increase in the average pharmacist dispensing time for prescriptions involving chronic disease multidrug combinations （[ 23.29±6.83） s vs. （17.87±3.64 ） s， P＜0.001]； the dispensing error rate was reduced from 0.13‰ to 0.03‰ （P＝0.038）. CONCLUSIONS By adopting the strategy of “system reconstruction-process reengineering-human-machine collaboration”， our hospital has successfully established a drug traceability code management system. While complying with national regulatory requirements， we have maintained service efficiency and reduced the medication dispensing error rate.

Objective:To screen high-risk population of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to analyze the risk factors in Haicang District of Xiamen City.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted from February 2023 to May 2023 among residents who visited or underwent physical examinations at five community health service centers in Haicang District of Xiamen City selected by cluster sampling method. The self-designed general information questionnaire, COPD population screening questionnaire (COPD-PS) and COPD screening questionnaires (COPD-SQ) were applied in the survey. Individuals with COPD-PS scale>5 or COPD-SQ scale>16 were defined as COPD high-risk group. The association of COPD risk with gender, age, smoking, family history of COPD, history of tuberculosis, history of COVID-19 infection, and using coal/woodstove for cooking or heating was analyzed with chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 4 260 questionnaires were distributed and 4 221 valid questionnaires were collected with a recovery rate of 99.6%. Among all respondents there were 1 904 males (45.11%) and 2 317 females (54.89%); and 217 individuals aged 40-<50 (5.14%), 434 aged 50-<60 (10.28%), 2 194 aged 60-<70 (51.98%), 1 302 aged 70-<80 (30.85%) and 74 aged≥80 (1.76%). The results showed that there were 269 respondents (6.4%) scored≥5 on the COPD-PS scale, 534 residents (12.7%) scored≥16 on the COPD-SQ scale, 646 (15.3%) scored≥5 on the COPD-PS scale or≥16 on the COPD-SQ scale. Male gender ( OR=2.592, 95% CI:2.135-3.146), second-hand smoke exposure ( OR=3.763, 95% CI:2.944-4.810), frequently catching cold before the age of 14 ( OR=3.804, 95% CI:2.927-4.944), history of tuberculosis ( OR=2.575, 95% CI:1.224-5.418), hypertension ( OR=1.547, 95% CI:1.277-1.875), and diabetes ( OR=1.791, 95% CI:1.027-3.121) were independently associated with the high-risk of COPD, while the history of COVID-19 ( OR=0.583, 95% CI:0.476-0.714) was a protective factor for COPD risk. Conclusion:Males, exposure to second-hand smoke, frequently catching cold before the age of 14, history of tuberculosis, hypertension, and diabetes will increase the risk of COPD, while the history of COVID-19 is a protective factor.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of upper arm central venous port in cancer patients.Methods:A total of 500 patients with tumor were selected as the study subjects from March 29, 2018 to January 19 2020. Complications such as catheter-related thrombosis and catheter-related bloodstream infection during the indwelling period were recorded.Results:One patient with severe superior vena cava syndrome failed to be intubated. The other 499 patients were successfully intubated with a success rate of 99.8% (499/500). The rate of complications was 2.6% (13/499), and the rate of catheter-related bloodstream infection was 0.029‰ (4/139 614) in 4 cases, the incidence of catheter-related thrombus was 0.057‰ (8/139 614) in 8 cases. There were 1 case of body turnover, 1 case of median nerve injury, 1 case of local tissue necrosis and 1 case of lymphatic leakage. Extubation was planned in 15 patients, and unplanned extubation in 6 patients due to complications.Conclusions:The upper arm port has less complications and is suitable for patients with tumor chemotherapy and long-term need of infusion. It is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the effect of an improved hydro-colloid dressing sticking method on preventing protective equipment induced facial pressure injuries among medical staff through a prospective, single-arm trial.Methods:According to the size of the edge of N95 mask, four pieces of hydro-colloid dressing with a size of 2 cm×5 cm were cut, and the edges of the mask were tension-free stuck. This improved sticking method was applied to the nurses working in the isolation ward. The follow-up was continued for two weeks, skin condition was reported daily, and the occurrence of pressure ulcers was analyzed after two weeks of follow-up.Results:Twenty percent (4/20) of subjects experienced increase grades of nasal and twenty five percent (5/20) in cheek pressure ulcers during a two-week follow-up. The incidence of the increased stage of cheek pressure ulcer in normal/dry skin was higher than in oily skin. Stage 2 pressure ulcers occurred in only five percent (1/20) of subjects, and no subjects had stage 3 or higher stage pressure ulcers. The incidence of increased cheek pressure ulcer grade in patients with neutral / dry skin was (5/11), higher than 0 in patients with oily skin ( χ2 value was 5.378, P = 0.02). The stage of nasal pressure ulcer was positively correlated with the disappearance time of the indentation of protective equipment ( r value was 0.615, P=0.004). The rate of increase in nasal pressure sore grade was higher in subjects who required more than 120 minutes of indentation recovery time (2/8) than in subjects who required 30 to 60 minutes 1/5 ( χ2 value was 4.382, P<0.05) and 60-120 minutes 1/5 ( χ2 value was 6.472, P<0.05). Conclusions:This improved hydro-colloid dressing sticking method can effectively prevent pressure injuries related to wearing N95 masks for a long time. However, skin evaluation of medical staff should be done properly, moisture protection for normal/dry skin should be emphasized, and skin blood flow recovery after compression should be strengthened. This method can reduce the risk of infection of medical staff, and it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the nutrition intervention on advanced colorectal cancer chemotherapy patients quality of life. Methods 70 colorectal cancer patients (NRS 2002 score was more than or equal to 3 points) with chemotherapy from January 1st, 2013 to June 31th, 2014 were collected. The patients were randomly divided into intervention group (35 patients) and the control group (35 patients). The intervention group received personalized recipe which was developed by a team containing nurse specialist, chief psychiatrist, family members and patients themselves. The control group was treated with a normal diet guidance. The two groups of patients when they were treated after the second days of the first admission (before intervention), the end of the 6th courses of chemotherapy and the 12th courses of chemotherapy were evaluated by the European Organization For Research and Treatment Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Nutritional indicators and the total life condition of the two groups at different time were compared. Results There were 5 cases off in the intervention group and the control group respectively. After the 12th courses of chemotherapy, the intervention group serum albumin (ALB) and the mean serum prealbumin (PAB) were improved 4.10 and 74.14; and the control group were-0.09 and-0.08, there were significant differences between the two groups (t=3.202, 3.623, P<0.05).The total quality of life of the intervention group was 25.87 points while the control group was 35.13 points, there was significant difference between the two groups (t=3.321, P<0.05). The intervention group got the total health status was (72.28 ± 20.97) points after the intervention, and before the intervention was (56.67 ± 14.08) points. Meanwhile the total health status was statistically significant (t=7.01, P<0.05). Conclusions There is a significant nutritional improvement in colorectal cancer patients with chemotherapy after nutritional therapy leading by nurse specialist, which is worthy of application.

Objective Carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1) not only enhances the hydration reaction but also promotes the formation of CaCO3,which is an essential step for new bone formation in vitro.However,there is no direct evidence to demonstrate the involvement of CA1 in bio-mineralization in cells and tissues.This study is aimed to evaluate the important role of CA1 in bio-mineralization and ossification in cultured cells.Methods Calcification in Saos-2 cells was induced using osteogenic medium (OM) and the calcification was determined by Alizarin Red-S staining.The expressions of ossification protein marker Runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2),osterix (OSX),alkaline phosphatase (ALP),osteocalcin (OCN) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) were detected in the process of bone formation by real-time PCR.The expression of CA 1 in the calcified cells were measured using real-time PCR and Western blotting.We also detected calcification in Saos-2 cells in the presence of acetazolamide,an anti-carbonic anhydrase drug to CA1,to determine the role of CA1 in biomineralization in culture cells.T test analysis was used to compare the two groups,M-ANOVA of repeated measurs was conducted for different time point.Results Following the stimulation of OM,Saos-2 cells produced a great amount of calcium-rich deposits [0.68±0.03 vs 2.76±0.13,P＜0.01].Increased transcriptions of ossification protein markers were also detected in these stimulated Saos-2 cells,indicating that the OM launched the process of bone formation in the cells.CA1 had a significantly increased expression during this process [0.25±0.03 vs 0.94±0.06,P＜0.01].Following treatment with acetazolamide,the expression of CA1 evidently declined [1.09±0.05 vs 0.55±0.07,P＜0.05],and the mineralized nodule formation was declined [2.76±0.13 vs 2.19±0.07,P＜0.01].Conclusion These findings indicate that CA1 participates in the biomineralization and ossification,and may play an important roles in bone formation.

Objective This paper aims to use components as the key factors to explore the feasibility of evaluation method about the learning effect of Web-based PBL.Methods We distributed a questionnaire to 101 students of clinical class of 2007 and 2008 grade in Guangzhou Medical University,and electronically distributed after 2 weeks.Cranach's α coefficient WaS used to evaluate intrinsic consistency reliability of the questionnaire.We applied principal axis factoring to extract components and to explain components which were orthogonally rotated by varimax.Multi-factor regression model Was simulated with key factors and the model's performance of fitting WaS tested.Results Multi-factor regression mode(WPBLSUM)=0.545 Collective collaboration capabilities+0.202 Self-learning and quest skills+0.137 linical reasoning and problem-solving capabilities+0.116 memorizing and understanding of medical knowledge.The coefficient of determination R2Was 0.998 and the corrected coefficient of determination R2Was 0.998.indicating that the model's fit results are obvious.Conclusion This paper demonstrates that using components as the key factors to simulate and assessing the Web-based PBL learning effect is feasible,which assesses the Web-based PBL learning effect well from four different aspects.

Due to the subjective and objective constraints of universities in China,PBL Teaching Mode failed to gain its popularity in China's medical education.In its teaching reform,Guangzhou Medical University put forward a new teaching model--Web-based PBL Teaching Mode(hereinafter referred to as WPBL).by integrating the classical concept of PBL education with the real situation of the university and carried it out among students in bilingual classes of Clinical Medicine.The resuIts showed that by effectively overcoming the difficulties during the implementation of classical PBL teaching,Web-based PBL Teaching Mode not only succeeded in achieving the teaching objectives,but also improved the learning efficiency and utilization of teaching resources greatly by means of network technology.
