OBJECTIVE To introduce a case of interstitial pneumonia induced by vedolizumab (VDZ), summarize and analyze the characteristics of the occurrence of VDZ-associated lung toxicity, and provide a reference for the clinically safe use of drugs. METHODS From the perspective of clinical pharmacists, the diagnosis and treatment of a case of VDZ-induced interstitial pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed, and the association of adverse drug reactions (ADR) was analyzed. Retrieving from Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science, case reports of VDZ-associated lung toxicity were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS The patient developed interstitial pneumonia during the use of VDZ and empirical anti- infective therapy with antibiotics was ineffective. After withdrawal of VDZ and treatment with methylprednisolone, symptoms and imaging examinations improved, but interstitial pneumonia still existed. According to Naranjo’s ADR evaluation scale and based on China Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring Manual, the association between VDZ and interstitial pneumonia was “very likely”. Results of the literature analysis showed that among 29 involved patients (including the patient reported in this article), there were 19 males and 10 females, with an average age of (49.24±17.06) years. Lung toxicity mainly included VDZ- associated pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia, pulmonary granulomas or necrobiotic nodules, interstitial lung injury, etc., which mostly occurred ≤24 weeks after medication (58.62%). The main clinical manifestations included cough, dyspnea and fever. The vast majority of patients improved or recovered after drug withdrawal and/or glucocorticoid treatment, but one patient died of respiratory failure. CONCLUSIONS Lung toxicity is a rare ADR of VDZ with insidious onset and nonspecific symptoms. Once patients experience symptoms such as cough and dyspnea, early diagnosis,timely drug withdrawal,and symptomatic treatment measures such as glucocorticoid should be taken to ensure medication safety.

Objective:To compare the short-term clinical efficacy and safety of Da Vinci robot and laparoscopic pancreatectomy.Methods:The data of patients with pancreatic occupying lesions who underwent distal pancreatectomy in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from September 2021 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 60 patients were enrolled, including 20 males and 40 females, aged (52.0±14.8) years. According to different operation methods, 60 patients were divided into robotic group ( n=30, Da Vinci robot-assisted pancreatectomy) and laparoscopic group ( n=30, laparoscopic pancreatectomy). The conversion of laparotomy, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, splenic preservation, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative fasting time, reoperation rate within 30 days after surgery, readmission rate within 90 days after surgery, and postoperative complications such as abdominal hemorrhage, abdominal infection and pancreatic fistula were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no conversion to laparotomy in the laparoscopic group, and 1 case (3.3%) in the robotic group. There were no significant differences in conversion to laparotomy rate, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, reoperation rate within 30 days after surgery, and readmission rate within 90 days after surgery between the two groups (all P>0.05). The spleen preservation rate of the robotic group was 53.3% (16/30), and the postoperative fasting time was 1.0(1.0, 2.0) d, which was better than that of the laparoscopic group 23.3%(7/30), 2.0(2.0, 3.0) d, with statistical significance ( χ2=5.71, Z=4.04, P=0.017, P<0.001). Postoperative abdominal infection occurred in 6 cases (20.0%), grade B or C pancreatic fistula in 7 cases (23.3%), no abdominal hemorrhage in the laparoscopic group, postoperative abdominal hemorrhage in 3 cases (10.0%), abdominal infection in 4 cases (13.3%), and grade B or C pancreatic fistula in 8 cases (26.7%) in the robotic group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative abdominal hemorrhage, abdominal infection and grade B or C pancreatic fistula between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Da Vinci robotic pancreatectomy is safe and feasible, and the success rate of spleen preservation is better than laparoscopic pancreatectomy.

Ovarian cancer, notable for its severe prognosis among gynecologic cancers, has seen substantial progress in treatment approaches recently. Enhanced protocols in chemotherapy and the introduction of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for maintenance therapy have markedly improved outcomes for patients with specific genetic profiles, such as those positive for BRCA mutations or exhibiting homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). Additionally, the method of intraperitoneal chemotherapy administration has emerged as a valuable alternative to traditional transvenous routes, showing promise for wider clinical adoption. The field of surgery has also evolved, with increasing exploration into the benefits and feasibility of laparoscopic methods over more invasive traditional surgeries, aiming for complete tumor removal but with reduced patient impact. The hereditary nature of ovarian cancer underscores the importance of genetic testing, which has become integral in tailoring treatment strategies, particularly in determining suitability for PARP inhibitors.The formation of the East Asian Gynecologic Oncology Trial Group (EAGOT) aims to optimize treatment across Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan. The ovarian cancer committee of EAGOT shared the current policies, focusing on 5 topics: 1) strategies for maintenance therapy after initial surgery and chemotherapy, 2) drug regimens for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrence, 3) intraperitoneal chemotherapy, 4) laparoscopic surgery as an alternative to laparotomy, and 5) current status of genetic testing (BRCA, HRD, and panel tests) for ovarian cancer and its prospects. EAGOT’s multi-national trials aim to harmonize these evolving treatment strategies, ensuring that the latest and most effective protocols are accessible across the region, thereby significantly impacting patient outcomes in East Asia.
